A day after surviving the "final" roster cuts, QB Stephen McGee was released by the Cowboys on Saturday.
The team made the move so it could sign TE Colin Cochart off waivers from the Bengals.
The Cochart signing is believed to be a hedge in case Jason Witten, who is still recovering from a spleen injury, isn't ready to play on Wednesday night's game against the Giants.
Cochart, a second-year player out of South Dakota State, appeared in 10 games in 2011, starting three. He caught five passes for 44 yards and one touchdown.
McGee, who was the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Tony Romo and Kyle Orton, appeared in one game in 2011, a 20-7 Week 16 loss to the Eagles. He completed 24-of-38 passes for 182 yards with one TD in the contest.

Disney's new Fantasyland — our first blush
Disney World started having "dress rehearsals" for some attractions within the Fantasyland expansion at Magic Kingdom last week. The park isn't announcing when or for how long these introductions will last, so you can't absolutely count on strolling through the new area at this point. Remember, it was announced that its soft opening will be Nov. 19, followed by a grand opening on Dec. 6. But here are some initial impressions:

I finished up my regular Opticen and started using Opticen +. The first morning I had it as a meal replacement and added milk to it. I left the kitchen for just a few moments but when I got back it was REALLY thick, as in I could use a spoon, kinda like yoghurt. The regular Opticen was still thick with milk added but it went down like liquid. Now I use half milk half water or just water. Has something changed in the mix that's made it this way.
I should say that I thought maybe I added an extra scoop by accident but the following day I had the same thing happen. Still tastes great, just have to adjust water/milk/ice etc.

Yes, the first batch has more thickeners that I realized (long story). The next batch will be MUCH thinner. As for the spoon, come on :P! I am drinking it every morning with the prescribed about of fluid and while it is thick it is easy to drink.
To help you, just go with 2 scoops with the recommended amount of liquid and you will be good to go.
Even with a spoon it tastes good
Yeah, I'm doing 2 spoons first thing in the morning then 1 spoon as I'm leaving. No biggie...just wondering if it was me.

Opticen Chocolate was my favorite ALN product. I just ordered a tub of Opticen+ Chocolate and Vanilla. I'm a little disappointed in the new Chocolate (haven't tried the Vanilla yet). There are the thickness issues as mentioned above. It seems like even with extra liquid it still has a weird consistency. Also the flavor isn't bad (it's kind of similar to Nitrean+ Dutch Chocolate actually), but IMO it's not as good as the old Opticen (this may just be a matter of personal taste).
Hopefully the thickness issue gets resolved in the next batch. It seems like you made some change with your chocolate flavoring supplier for Nitrean+ and are using the same supplier for Opticen+. Hopefully Maximus stays unchanged for a while and doesn't undergo a reflavoring/reformulation.

MAXIMUS is gone. It really was redundant. If you match serving size with Opticen+ they have a very similar macro profile. The Opticen+ also has a much better protein matrix.
Yes, we have reduced the thickeners by 60% for the next batch.
For me the chocolate is close to the old version, but I agree, not quite as good. The vanilla, on the other hand, KILLS the old version.
After using the new Chocolate Opticen+ for about two weeks and being pretty disappointed, I decided to open the Vanilla tonight. It is absolutely fantastic! MUCH better consistency and awesome taste (crazy that I like the vanilla taste better than the chocolate). I think I'm going to be sticking with the Vanilla from now on. Now that I have both open I may try mixing the two and seeing what type of flavor and thickness that winds up giving me.

I have been using the Opticen as a major role in my post workout intake along with my backloading program. It has truly been the staple in cutting from 277lbs to doing my first meet at 220lbs this coming weekend. All of this over the course of the summer and I feel as strong as I ever have been. Infact I think I will bench more at 220 then I did at 242. OPticean is thick but it is by far the best tasting protien supplement meal replacement I have ever encountered. If your concerned about the thickness I would just add more milk also. Or I have done this before too. Split the servings in half and have two shakes. Either way I would drink this all day if I could. The best.

SMK, cocoa acts as a thickener as well, so while the choc and van have the same amount of gums, the vanilla is a bit thinner. Our next batch of both will be MUCH thinner. And yes, I like the new vanilla a LOT as well.

Red Hot FGCU Hosts UNF in Home Finale
UNF (12-18, 9-10) vs. FGCU (9-19, 6-12)
DATE: Saturday, Feb. 26, 2011
CITY: Fort Myers, Fla.
SITE: Alico Arena (4,500)
TIP-OFF: 7:30 p.m. ET
LIVE AUDIO: www.FGCUATHLETICS.com
TALENT: Tom James (Play-by-Play)
LIVE STATS: www.FGCUATHLETICS.com
LIVE VIDEO: A-Sun.TV
SERIES: FGCU leads, 6-4
LAST MEETING: UNF 81, FGCU 74 - Dec. 2, 2010
LAST GAME: FGCU 56, Jacksonville 55 - Feb. 24
FGCU will look to extend its season-long three-game win streak on Saturday night in its home finale at Alico Arena against Atlantic Sun foe UNF. The Eagles have enjoyed their current homestand, winning all three games to extend their win streak to four games at Alico. FGCU is coming off a dramatic 56-55 win over third place Jacksonville in which freshman Christophe Varidel knocked down the game-winning three-pointer with 2.2 seconds remaining. A win over UNF would equal FGCU's longest Division I win streak at four games. The Ospreys have already clinched a spot in the A-Sun Tournament, while their last three games (2 wins) have been decided by eight points.
FGCU's current four-game home win streak has been fueled by a resurgence on the defensive end. Over the last four games at Alico Arena, the Eagles have held two opponents to under 40 points and all four under 60, giving up a stingy 48.0 points per game. Looking further, FGCU his limited those teams to 34 percent (71-209) shooting from the field, including 19-of-70 from three, while holding a +10.3 edge on the glass.

Pessimist questions Realtors' rosy interpretation
By Jeff Ostrowski
The National Association of Realtors offers a predictably rosy interpretation of the second-quarter housing figures out today.
As NAR points out, 97 of 149 metro areas saw year-over-year gains in median prices for existing single-family homes, including nine areas with double-digit annual gains. Meanwhile, 50 showed price drops, and two were unchanged.
NAR no longer includes Palm Beach County in this report, but our 3 percent decline put us squarely in the price drop category, according to a separate study out today from the Florida Association of Realtors.
Countering with a not-so-rosy interpretation is Andrew Jakabovics of the Center for American Progress. The appreciation for much of the country was so small as to be meaningless, he says
"Whatever gains have been made in price appreciation reflect data from the last quarter of what may be looked on as the 'loose credit' era," he says. "As interest rates rise, the price of a house that can be bought for a given monthly payment falls."
Salt Lake City's 21.9 percent gain was the nation's largest. Three of the nation's five weakest markets were in Florida: Brevard County, Volusia County and the Sarasota-Bradenton area all suffered drops of 8 percent or more.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Drama, Gay & Lesbian, Independent, Casting, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalKevin Spacey never really went away, so I hesitate to say that he's making a comeback, so let's just say "Hey, it's nice to see Kevin Spacey out and about in the trades again." Then we can talk about Spacey's Father of Invention, and talk about the eclectic foursome he's lured in as costars. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Craig Robinson, Johnny Knoxville, Heather Graham, and Camilla Belle have all signed onto Spacey's independently produced, Trent Cooper-directed film.
The story centers on Robert Axle (Spacey), an inventor who has forgotten his humble roots after making billions, and become an egomanical jerk. In a Lex Luthor twist, one of his inventions has gone awry, maimed hundreds, and landed him in prison serving an eight-year sentence. Freed from his sentence, he goes about rebuilding his personal and professional life, but finds remaking his name and fortune easier than repairing his fractured family.
Rounding out the Axle family is Belle, who plays his daughter, employed as a social worker and reluctant to reconnect with her father. Graham plays her lesbian roommate (is there ever any other kind) who sleeps with Spacey, undoubtedly making the situation that much more prickly. Knoxville plays a store manager who gives the ex-con a job. Somewhere in the mix there's an ex-Mrs. Axle as Robinson plays her new husband, who now lives in the billionaire's house, eats his food, and drives his car, but is nice enough to help him get back on his feet.
There's a whiff of Arrested Development to the plotline, and Robinson makes just about everything funny, so let's all watch out for this one. Production begins this week in New Orleans, so it'll be here before you know it.

Girl Scouts and IHS help teach girls about careers in STEM
Girl Scouts learn the roles geology and geophysics play in energy exploration
HOUSTON (October 25, 2012) - Girl Scouts from the San Jacinto Council, one of the largest Girl Scout Council's in the U.S., participated in the first-ever Geoscience Day held by IHS, the leading global source of information and analytics, in conjunction with the Houston Geological Society.
"The girls had a great time, and we really enjoyed having them at our IHS Geoscience Day workshop," said Mary Lou Castleman, senior quality assurance engineer at IHS and who, along with Keith Patton, senior geologist at IHS, organized the event. "They were incredibly enthusiastic, eager to learn and very polite young ladies," Castleman added. "They embraced the curriculum and the hands-on activities, and our IHS colleagues had fun teaching such a bright group."
As part of the day, the girls circulated through four different workshops, which included hands-on experiments designed to teach the fundamentals of geology and geophysics, lithology types, wave theory and well logging. The workshop also addressed reservoir attributes such as porosity and permeability, and fluids and traps.
"We are so grateful for the support of IHS who has provided an opportunity for our Girl Scouts to get a first-hand look at geology and geophysics and how they play a part in energy exploration," said Emily Kremer, GSSJC's program manager responsible for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs. "Girls want to help make a difference in the world and to get them there, we need the support of companies like IHS to help us teach girls the value of STEM and the skills they will need to fill the roles of the future."
The concepts the girls learned in the workshops were later applied during a team drilling exercise where teams were charged with recommending areas to drill on a 3-D reservoir model. The girls made drilling recommendations based on their team's budget and their analysis of various data resources, including seismic information, well logs, maps and other vital data. Girl Scouts also had the opportunity to search for a salt dome in a 3-D reservoir model using IHS Kingdom® geophysical interpretation software.
"We at IHS are truly excited to be able to contribute to the Girl Scouts' ToGetHerThere initiative with our first IHS Geoscience Day event," said Patton. "Like the Girl Scouts, we realized that getting girls interested in math and science needs to start early. There are tremendous opportunities for women in math and science careers, and we were glad to be able to introduce these budding young minds to the geosciences."
Girl Scouts launched the ToGetHerThere initiative during its 100th anniversary in 2012. Since its inception, the premier leadership organizations for girls, has provided girls with opportunities to learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) relevant to everyday life. STEM experiences are framed within the context of leadership and engage girls through the three Girl Scouts processes of: girl-led, learning by doing and cooperative learning. Girls also learn skills on specific topics when they earn badges and many badges, like the Cook, Artist and Athlete Legacy badge, use STEM in fun ways.
For more information about GSSJC's STEM programs, contact Emily Kremer at email@example.com Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.2 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is the second largest Girl Scout council in the country serving more than 70,000 girls and 19,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties. Girl Scouts celebrates its centennial in 2012.

"In a World of My Own" ~ Musical Versions of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland
Explore music inspired by Lewis Carroll's classic children books, Alice in Wonderland, and, its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. Go down the rabbit-hole or through the looking-glass to hear the influence of Alice's journeys in motion pictures, classical music, popular music genres, and videogame culture.
Contrariwise, if you would like to experience the novels themselves with proper song placement of movie versions included in Carroll's text, you may do so at any time.
Carroll's poems which inspired much of the alternate musical versions may additionally be read in full on their own.
Remember: there are no rules in Wonderland, so if you don't know where you are trying to get to then it doesn't much matter which way you go!

HOUSTON (BP) -- Underscoring once again it's not a Catholic-only issue, two Baptist colleges have filed suit against the Obama administration's abortion/contraceptive mandate, saying they're standing up for what Baptists long have defended -- religious freedom.
The Oct. 9 lawsuit by Houston Baptist University and East Texas Baptist University is the 33rd suit against the mandate, which requires employers to provide employee health insurance that covers contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs. The latter drugs often are labeled "morning-after" or "week-after" pills and come under brand names such as Plan B and ella, and can act after fertilization and even after implantation, thereby causing a chemical abortion. Churches are exempt from the mandate, but religious organizations -- such as Christian colleges, hospitals and businesses -- are not.
"Baptists have always advocated religious liberty, and religious liberty is what is at stake in this situation."
-- ETBU president
Samuel Oliver
The mandate was issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in August 2011 and went into effect in August of this year, although HHS gave nonprofit religious organizations another year -- until August 2013 -- to comply. The new health care law signed by President Obama opened the door for the mandate. The law itself does not require coverage of abortion-inducing drugs, although it did give HHS the authority to determine what is and is not covered under the new law, often dubbed "Obamacare." The Supreme Court upheld the law earlier this year but did not deal with the issue raised by the mandate lawsuits.
The list of businesses and organizations suing to overturn the mandate has grown in recent weeks, with arts and crafts company Hobby Lobby and Christian publisher Tyndale House joining the ranks.
Another Baptist school, Louisiana College, filed suit in February.
Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is representing Houston Baptist and East Texas Baptist in the suit, filed in a federal court in Texas. The schools say the mandate violates their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of religion and speech.
"The Universities' religious beliefs forbid them from participating in, providing access to, paying for, training others to engage in, or otherwise supporting abortion," the suit says. "... The government's Mandate unconstitutionally coerces the Universities to violate their deeply-held religious beliefs under threat of heavy fines and penalties."
Forcing the university to "pay a fine" for the "privilege of practicing one's religion or controlling one's own speech is un-American, unprecedented, and flagrantly unconstitutional," the suit states.
The universities don't have a problem with covering all contraceptives, only those that can cause chemical abortions, the suit says. The schools "consider the prevention by artificial means of the implantation of a human embryo to be an abortion," and they affirm "traditional Christian teachings on the sanctity of life," the suit states.
Samuel Oliver, president of East Texas Baptist University, said Baptists have a history of standing up for religious freedom.
"Baptists have always advocated religious liberty, and religious liberty is what is at stake in this situation," Oliver said. "As the famous Baptist preacher George W. Truett once remarked, 'A Baptist would rise at midnight to plead for absolute religious liberty for his Catholic neighbor, and for his Jewish neighbor, and for everybody else.' We are rising today to ensure that religious liberty, the first freedom guaranteed in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, is protected and preserved."
Said Houston Baptist President Robert Sloan, "While we are always reluctant to enter into lawsuits, the government has given us no choice. Either we violate our conscience or give in to the administration's heavy-handed attack upon our religious freedom. We will not comply with this unconstitutional mandate, and we plead with our government to respect the liberties given by God and enunciated in the Bill of Rights."
The lawsuit says the law and the government have "provided thousands of exemptions" to businesses but that the government refuses to exempt religious organizations from the mandate. For example, businesses with fewer than 50 employees are exempt from the health care law and therefore exempt from the mandate. Businesses also had the option of "grandfathering" in their previous health care plans and thereby avoid many of the new law's requirements, such as the mandate.
"[T]he government refuses to give the same level of accommodation to groups exercising their fundamental First Amendment freedoms," the suit states. "... The Mandate can be interpreted as nothing other than a deliberate attack by the government on the religious beliefs of the Universities and millions of other Americans."
The HHS mandate provides an exemption for churches and church-like bodies provided they are nonprofit and meet all four of the following criteria: 1) "The inculcation of religious values is the purpose of the organization"; 2) "The organization primarily employs persons who share the religious tenets of the organization"; 3) "The organization serves primarily persons who share the religious tenets of the organization"; and 4) The organization is a church, an integrated auxiliary of a church, a convention or association of churches, or is an exclusively religious activity of a religious order, under Internal Revenue Code 6033(a)(1) and (a)(3)(A)."
Although the universities only employ Christians, they don't fit the definition of a church as set forth by the criteria.

Lunar Festival 2013
The Lunar Festival is a 2-week event which is based on Chinese New Year. This year, it will start on 27th January and finish on 10th February 2013.
There isn't really anything new for 2013, other than the pets becoming battle pets which is a real shame seeing that this expansion was based in Pandaria – especially since the Lunar Festival is one of my favourite world events in-game.
If you'd like to see what's involved for the whole event you can follow this guide.
If you managed to get all the achievements done in previous years then there's really not a lot to do. Last year, there was only one new achievement: Elders of Cataclysm which required you to honour the 9 new Elders introduced though the opening of the Cata zones (bringing the total number of Elders to 84).
Elder Sekhemi in Uldum – (32, 63) Located at Ruins of Ammon
Elder Menkhaf in Uldum – (66, 19) Located at Khartut's Tomb (north-east to the big statue)
Mount Hyal
Elder Windsong in Hyjal – (27, 62) Located at Santuary of Malorne
Elder Evershade in Nordrassil – (63, 23) Next to the Inn, Alliance side portal
Elder Stonebrand in the Temple of Earth – (50, 55) Located at the Entrance of the Temple
Elder Deepforge in Deepholm – (28, 69) Located at Stonehearth
Twilight Highlands
Elder Firebeard in Twilight Highlands – (51, 71) Located at Dunward Town Square of Dunward Ruins
Elder Darkfeather in Twilight Highlands – (52, 33) Located at Thundermar Ruins
Elder Moonlance in Vashj'ir – (57, 86) Located at Biel'aran Ridge, Shimmering Expanse
Festival Pets
Two pets are available to buy with Lunar currency – the Lunar Lantern and Festival Lantern. They are faction-specific vanity pets (blue/red lanterns in the style of the Lunar Festival decorations) that cost 50 Coins of Ancestry each. The good news is they are BoE, meaning you will be able to trade them on the neutral AH to collect both.
With so many Elders to visit, it will be easy getting enough coins to buy the pet. However, I found it faster to accumulate the coins from Northrend as they are more tightly packed, as well as the new Cata ones for the achievement. All-in-all you'll be getting a lot of flying miles. What a shame there's no frequent flyer program :P
So hurray for Pet collectors and Happy New Year – especially to all those Snakes out there!
Kung Hei Fat Choi!

OMG. I am such a noob! I wasted most of the day yesterday flying around gathering coins on my human paladin because he had deleted his old ones to make bank space before void storage came out. Now you tell me that it is BoE so my priest that has 48 coins in his bank could have bought one for him in like 10 minutes. /headdesk
@Navimie – I'm definitely going to get one, it's just a matter of when
@repgrind – Glad my guide offered some useful info even if it was after the fact :P Sadly, my Alliance toon only has 5 coins from previous years. I foresee a lot of flying around on a less than epic flying mount but I guess that's where the auto-flights come in…
Thank you so much for putting this together! Knowing where in the zones to find the Elders in Hyjal, Uldum, and Twilands made things much easier for my alts who are 60<level<85 to go get those coins without too much difficulty.
Still debating if I want to cough up for an Alliance lantern, though… I am not great at the gold game, and the prices it's going for on my server are most of the cash I have saved…
Nice write up, although I'm sad to hear they didn't add much this year. Sounds like a missed opportunity to me – I think the Lunar Festival could build a bit of a cultural bridge between the Pandaren and the others.
Nyxrinne recently posted Cordula, part two
Kam – You're very welcome. All I can say is, hurray for account-wide pets now.
Thx Nyx, I was too. Maybe next year. =/

Picture - Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky
Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky attending the North American Premiere of 'Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today (1948) - The 2009 Schulberg/Waletzky Restoration' at Bloor Cinema. Toronto Jewish Film Festival presents the North American Premiere of Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today (1948) [The 2009 Schulberg/Waletzky Restoration] , which has been meticulously and painstakingly restored by Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky. It was written and directed by Stuart Schulberg (Budd Schulberg's brother) and released in Germany during 1948/49. But it was never released to American theatres until recently. Nuremberg illustrates how the international prosecutors built their case against the top Nazi war criminals during one of the greatest courtroom dramas in history. The movie is invaluable as an historical document of the Nazi rise to power and Hitler's strategy during WWII, and startlingly relevant in depicting the trial's establishment of the Nuremberg principles, the foundation for all subsequent trials for crimes against humanity. Nuremberg also presents irrefutable proof that the Jews were Hitler's primary intended victims. Toronto, Canada - 18.04.10

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 17, 2013
Reminder: Health Department offers free Tdap booster shot clinics on July 18, July 25
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department encourages residents to take advantage of its final free tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) booster shot clinics on Thursday, July 18 and Thursday, July 25 from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Health Department, 2400 Troost Ave. Residents ages 11 years and older are eligible for the immunization.
The Health Department recommends that individuals get a tetanus booster shot every 10 years. They should also get a one-time pertussis booster shot to ensure they are protected as they age.
Pertussis is a communicable respiratory disease. Most children who get the disease catch it from an older sibling, parent, grandparent, caregiver or teacher who either never received the vaccination, or if they did, it wasn't effective or its immunity had waned. Pertussis affects mostly children and can be deadly.
Tetanus is caused by bacteria that commonly live on rusted surfaces; however, the bacteria can be found on other surfaces, as well. It usually is transmitted through a dirty wound or skin puncture. The most common initial sign is muscle spasms of the jaw or "lockjaw."
More information on immunization clinic times can be found at www.kcmo.org/health or by calling the clinic at 816-513-6108. More information on Tdap can be found at www.cdc.gov.

Patriots Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Seven members of the New England Patriots have been selected to the AFC Pro Bowl squad. Quarterback Tom Brady, TE Rob Gronkowski, G Logan Mankins, LB Jerod Mayo, WR Matthew Slater (special teams), WR Wes Welker and DT Vince Wilfork have been selected to represent the New England Patriots and the AFC in the 2013 Pro Bowl on Jan. 27, 2013 at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii.
It is the eighth Pro Bowl selection for Brady (2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) and fifth for Mankins (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012), Welker (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) and Wilfork (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012).
Gronkowski and Slater earned their second straight Pro Bowl invitations, while Mayo (2010 and 2012) also earned a Pro Bowl berth for the second time.
Gronkowski, Mankins, Mayo and Wilfork were selected as starters.
Brady was named to the Pro Bowl for the eighth time, including four straight seasons. John Hannah (9) is the only Patriots player with more Pro Bowls than Brady. Brady enters the final week of the season with 4,543 yards passing and 32 touchdowns. Brady became just the fifth player in NFL history to reach 4,000 yards in five or more seasons and the fifth player with at least 30 or more touchdown passes in four seasons. Brady needs one touchdown pass in the season finale vs. Miami to extend his streak to 48 straight games with at least one touchdown pass and move past Johnny Unitas (47) for the second longest streak behind Drew Brees (54). He will also become the first NFL player to throw at least one touchdown pass in all 16 games for three consecutive seasons.
Gronkowski is going to his second Pro Bowl. Despite missing the last five games, Gronkowski leads all NFL tight ends with 10 touchdowns on 53 receptions for 748 yards. He is the first tight end in NFL history to have three straight 10-plus touchdown seasons after his 10 in 2010, 18 in 2011 and 10 in 2012. Gronkowski had three 100-yard games in 2012 to increase his career total to nine, tying Ben Coates for the most 100-yard games by a New England tight end.
Mankins is going to his fifth Pro Bowl, including his fourth consecutive. He went to his first Pro Bowl in 2007 when he became the first Patriots guard to earn a Pro Bowl selection since 1985 when Pro Football Hall of Famer John Hannah went to his ninth career Pro Bowl. The Fresno State product is in his eighth season with the Patriots since being selected in the first round (32nd overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. Since entering the starting lineup in 2005, Mankins has helped the New England offense finish in the Top 10 on offense six times. The 2012 New England offense is currently ranked first in the NFL. Mayo earned his second Pro Bowl honor after being selected for the first time in 2010. Mayo enters the final week of the season with a team-leading 179 total tackles. He is the first Patriots player to start his career with five straight 100-tackle seasons and his five straight 100-tackle seasons are tied with Lawyer Milloy and Vincent Brown for second, behind the six straight 100-tackle seasons by Fred Marion. Mayo has registered 10 or more tackles in 10 of the first 15 games to tie a career-high. He also had ten 10-tackle games in 2010.
Slater is going to his second Pro Bowl. He enters the final week of the season with a team-leading 20 special teams tackles, one behind his career-high of 21 special teams tackles set in 2010. Slater, a Special Teams Captain for the last two seasons, has been a productive member of the Patriots special teams units since joining the team as a fifth round draft pick out of UCLA in 2008. He has led the Patriots in special teams tackles for the past two seasons with 21 in 2010 and 17 in 2011.
Welker has been selected to the Pro Bowl five straight seasons. He enters the final week of the season with 110 receptions for 1,260 yards and five touchdowns. Welker became the first player in NFL history with five 100-catch seasons. Welker also added four 10-catch games in 2012 to set an NFL record with 18-career 10-catch games. He extended his team record with his fifth 1,000-yard season. He also became the Patriots' all-time leader in receptions, surpassing Troy Brown in Week 2 vs. Arizona.
Wilfork earned his fifth Pro Bowl selection overall and fourth straight Pro Bowl honor. Since being selected in the first round (21st overall) of the 2004 draft out of Miami, Wilfork has helped the Patriots defense finish in the top 10 in points allowed on six occasions (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010). The Patriots own a 106-31 (.774) record in Wilfork's 137 career regular-season games.
Vince Wilfork
"To be selected to my fifth Pro Bowl is amazing. I am honored and humbled. More importantly, I am proud that the other guys on my team are getting the recognition they deserve."
Jerod Mayo
"It's an honor to be recognized by my peers, the coaches and the fans, but it's more of an honor to be one of seven of my teammates going to Hawaii, since that is a reflection of our overall team success. We'll all enjoy the recognition tonight with our families and be right back to focusing on the Dolphins in the morning."
Matthew Slater
"I am very thankful to be selected to the Pro Bowl. God has blessed me with this opportunity and the ability to stay healthy. I have a lot of people to thank. An honor like this does not come without your teammates next to you making plays. I want to thank coach Belichick for believing in me and taking a chance on me so I can live out my childhood dreams of playing in the NFL. Coach Scott O'Brien has pretty much changed my career with the way he teaches and coaches me. I also need to thank Joe Judge for what he has been able to teach me."
Logan Mankins:
"We have a lot of guys who earned the honor this year, so that is pretty cool. It's always nice to have your peers, coaches and fans select you to the Pro Bowl. Getting voted in is always a reflection of our team success. While I do appreciate this recognition, we need to get ready and keep our focus on the game this week against Miami."
Tom Brady
"It is flattering to be selected, but I have always considered Pro Bowl recognition as a reflection of the team's overall success. I am happy for my many teammates who were selected again this year. I know that there are many others who are equally deserving of the opportunity. One day, I am sure I will have a greater appreciation for individual accomplishments, but this week my focus is simply on our preparations for Miami."

The Arizona Diamondbacks' postseason hopes took a serious blow Wednesday night when shortstop Stephen Drew sustained a fractured right ankle.
In the fourth inning, Drew attempted to score from second base on Chris Young's single to left field. While sliding, his right foot and ankle slammed into Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy's shin guard. Drew was out, and eventually was helped from the field and couldn't put any weight on his right foot.
Willie Bloomquist started the game at first base, then took over at shortstop after Drew got hurt. Either Bloomquist or Drew has started every game but two at shortstop this season, so Bloomquist figures to see most of the action there in the short term.
The Diamondbacks' primary Triple-A shortstop this season has been ex-major leaguer Cody Ransom ... all 35 years of him. Ransom's having a fantastic 2011 with the bat, but considering his history in the majors (and those 35 years) he doesn't figure to serve as more than a spare part, even if he does take Drew's place on the roster.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Operation Christmas Child a success as 10million boxes are sent to children
5:36pm Friday 21st February 2014 in News
CHRISTMAS volunteers in Worcestershire are thanked as almost 10million needy children received festive gift-filled shoeboxes across the world last year.
More than 900,000 of the boxes were donated by individuals, groups, churches, schools and workplaces across the UK for Operation Christmas Child, and Bob James, area co-ordinator of Samaritan's Purse in Worcestershire, said people in the county helped make the achievement possible.
He said: "We're so thankful for the amazing generosity of people in Worcestershire. We can only imagine the joy a child feels when they receive a shoebox, packed with gifts, from someone they don't know, but someone who cared enough for them and showed them that they are not forgotten at Christmas."
The charity's executive director, Simon Barrington, said the demand for Christmas gifts was increasing.
He said: "Over the past 23 years, Operation Christmas Child has sent more than 113 million boxes to children in over 130 countries.
"The demand is huge and is increasing, year to year.
"I want to encourage more people in Worcestershire to get involved with this amazing programme, so that we can reach even more children with shoeboxes packed with gifts."

A federal judge recently sentenced a former Parsons soldier and his co-conspirator in connection with a bribery and money-laundering scheme in Kuwait.
Former Army Sgt. 1st Class Richard Allen Evick, 41, will serve concurrent sentences of a year and a day in prison on each of counts 1-11.
Meanwhile, his associate, Crystal Yvette Martin, 48, of Pontiac, Mich, will serve five years probation. Restitution for both Evick and Martin has not yet been determined.
Federal prosecutors allege Evick received more than $170,000 in bribes from two firms that had contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense in Kuwait.
Martin is accused of laundering the bribe money and arranging transfers to the United States. Martin is a former Army master sergeant who operated a concession to sell clothing at American military bases in Kuwait, a news release from the Department of Justice stated.
The indictment also alleges Evick and former majors James Momon and Christopher Murray "improperly disclosed contracting information to two firms that were seeking contracts from the U.S. military," the news release stated.
The five-day trial for both Evick and Martin started in June 2012 in U.S. District Court in Elkins. Following the trial, a jury found Evick guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery, demanding, seeking or receiving bribes by a public official, aiding and abetting Momon to violate a bribery statute, conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering and obstruction of justice.
The jury found Martin guilty of conspiracy to commit a bribery crime, conspiracy to commit money laundering and money laundering.

Robert had fond memories of spending time in his grandparents' orchard along Peach Crest in Old Kettle Falls and of living near the " Milk Bottle" in Spokane. He graduated from Newport High School and EWCE (now EWU.

The Deer Park boys basketball team got five points from Blake Starbuck in the final 2 minutes to edge the Cheney Blackhawks 54-52 on Tuesday.
Starbuck tied the game at 50-50 with a short jumper and gave the Stags a 51-50 lead with a free throw with 1:02 remaining. The Blackhawks took their final lead on a basket by John Gingrich only to see Starbuck help the Stags regain the lead a 53-52 with two more free throws.
Uconn Peone's free throw with 13 seconds left gave Deer Park the final margin of victory.
"They're starting to play together," said Stag head coach Ken Ryan.
The Cheney Blackhawks unleashed a combination of an aggressive man-to-man defense and dominant post play to defeat the Deer Park girls basketball team 47-27 on Tuesday.
The Cheney defense stymied the Deer Park offense for most of the game. The Lady Stags never led in the game as the Blackhawks jumped out to an early 12-4 lead.
Cheney's 5-foot-11 forward Allie Brown keyed the early surge by hitting her first four shots.
In what has become a yearly tradition, community fair organizers have begun fretting about the state's financial commitment to the events.
With the Legislature looking to close a $3 billion budget shortfall this spring, the $2 million the state spends on fair funding is on the chopping block.
Clayton Community Fair Manager Janice Purdy said her event receives about $3,000 a year in state funds. That money must be used for youth premium awards, ribbons and trophies.
The Riverside girls basketball team, using a balance attack, defeated the Chewelah Cougars 47-34 for their first Northeast A League win in four tries.
The Lady Rams were finally able to put some distance between themselves and the Cougars with a 9-3 run to end the second quarter. The offensive spurt was highlighted by a three-point shot by Brielle Supanchick at the halftime buzzer.
First-year Riverside coach Buddy Wood was pleased with the way his team ran the offense, especially the way they moved the ball on the perimeter looking for the open shot.
The Chewelah Cougars broke open a close game with a 7-0 run to end the third quarter and another 23-5 surge in the fourth quarter as the defeated the Riverside Rams 63-37 on Tuesday.
The win improved the Cougars' Northeast A League record to 3-1 (11-3 overall) while the Rams fell to 0-4, 4-10.
Leading on 30-29 midway through the third quarter, the Cougars used three-pointers from Ben Johnstone and Caleb Wiese to take a 40-29 lead into the final stanza.
The Deer Park girls basketball team, using a 10 for 14 free throw shooting performance in the fourth quarter, defeated the Pullman Greyhounds 51-42 on Friday.
The Lady Stags (2-0 in Great Northern League play), led 35-27 going into the fourth quarter, only to see the Greyhounds (0-2) cut the margin to 40-37 with 4 minutes to play.
Deer Park responded with a free throw and basket by Tessa Heins and two more free throws from Danielle Beltrame to extend the lead to 45-37 with 1:40 to play.
The Pullman Greyhounds, using their height advantage and timely outside shooting, rolled past the Deer Park Stags 68-42 on Friday.
The Greyhounds, who led 31-25 at halftime, went on a 14-2 run in the first 3:30 minutes of the first quarter to put the game out of reach.
While 6-foot-6 Corey Landerveld, who finished with 17 points, did most of his damage around the basket, guards Austin Blake and Brady Barrett did their work from long range. The pair combined for 28 points.
No services are planned for Springdale resident Donna Jo Peterson, 77, who passed away on Dec. 30, 2011, in Spokane.

Dragons go for Burton against Ospreys (From Free Press Series)

Dragons go for Burton against Ospreys
Updated 1:10pm Friday 18th April 2014 in Sport By Chris Kirwan
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have brought Kris Burton in from the cold to start their Judgement Day clash against the Ospreys at the Millennium Stadium.
The 33-year-old former Italy fly-half will make his first start in the RaboDirect Pro12 since the two regions clashed at the Liberty Stadium last October.
Burton has played second fiddle to Jason Tovey since arriving at Rodney Parade on a two-year deal from Treviso last summer.
Tovey, who rejoined the Dragons following an ill-fated season with Cardiff Blues, made a superb start to the campaign but his form has flagged of late.
That has led to Burton, a replacement in last weekend's 45-27 loss to Trevison, getting a chance to pull the strings at the Millennium Stadium on Easter Sunday.
"Kris hasn't had the number of starts that he would have liked but has rolled his sleeves up and trained very hard," said director of rugby Lyn Jones.
"He did well when he came on against Treviso last weekend so deserves the chance to try and do it from the off. We are looking for him to perform well and provide Jason with some competition."
The Dragons make five other changes to the starting line-up for the Ospreys encounter, bringing in a quintet of internationals.
Hallam Amos moves to full-back to replace Ospreys-bound Dan Evans, who was at fault for a pair of tries against Treviso last weekend, with Will Harries taking his place on the wing while Richie Rees is recalled at scrum-half.
The pack is bolstered by the return of three seasoned campaigners – captain and lock Andrew Coombs, hooker Rhys Thomas and Fijian back row forward Netani Talei.
Exciting Wales Under-20s prospect Tyler Morgan is set for his Pro12 debut off the bench. The classy 18-year-old centre/wing has had a superb season with Newport in the Premiership and featured in the region's LV= Cup encounters with the Scarlets and London Wasps last autumn.
"Tyler has been playing excellently for Newport and looks to have a bright future in the game," said Jones. "He is an exciting talent and the quicker we get him involved the quicker he can fulfil his potential."
The Dragons are without a win in five games and are attempting to deny the Ospreys a clean sweep of the Welsh regions. Steve Tandy's men need a bonus point win to keep the heat on Glasgow.
Dragons: H Amos, T Prydie, P Leach, J Dixon, W Harries, K Burton, R Rees, P Price, R Thomas, D Bell, M Screech, A Coombs (captain), N Talei, L Evans, T Faletau. Replacements: S Parry, O Evans, B Douglas, C Hill, N Cudd, J Evans, J Tovey, T Morgan.
Ospreys: R Fussell, J Hassler, J Spratt, A Beck, H Dirksen, D Biggar, T Habberfield, D Jones, S Baldwin, A Jarvis, R Jones, A W Jones (captain), J King, J Tipuric, D Baker. Replacements: S Otten, N Smith, A Jones, T Ardon, S Lewis, T Tebaldi, S Davies, A Natoga.
Referee: Nigel Owens (WRU)

I say a losing bonus point is on the cards as the Ospreys task of getting into the play-offs took a knock last night when Glasgow beat Ulster by a mile.
I would say 20, but I suspect it will be because of a bad referee if you believe some of the posters on here, we have Nigel for this one and IMO h is the best in the game

In 2006, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requested that the National Research Council's (NRC's) Water Science and Technology Board review and assess the adequacy of the conceptual design and planning process for NSF's proposed Water and Environmental Research Systems (WATERS) Network. In response, the NRC formed a committee that first issued an interim report evaluating the Draft Science, Education, and Design Strategy for the WATERS Network. Subsequently, in response to requests from NSF, the statement of task for the committee was modified towards reviewing a vision-level Science Plan, and the NRC and committee agreed to provide quick advice on part two of the statement of task.
This letter report summarizes the committee's assessment of whether the Science Plan 'sets forth a vision of what could be accomplished with an observing network to transform water science and engineering research and education' and 'whether the Science Plan makes a compelling case for establishing the WATERS Network with Major Research and Facilities Construction (MREFC) funding.' These two questions are addressed individually and as part of an overall assessment as well.

New Orleans, La. - Video of a February incident involving undercover state troopers, a single NOPD officer and two high school students on Conti Street sparked public outrage, internal investigations and now a hearing before members of Senate Judiciary Committee B.
"We want them to realize that when something like this happens, we take it very seriously and there will be a public discussion in regards to incidents like this," says Senator J.P. Morrell (D-New Orleans).
The young men, 17 and 18 years old, maintain they were doing nothing wrong when plain clothes law enforcement took them down. State Police have said their troopers suspected the two were juveniles and were attempting to check their ID's. The troopers say they identified themselves as State Police, but claim one of the teens tried to flee.
"Look, I saw the tape and I have four kids of my own. When you look at the tape, there's no audio. You can't tell what was being said one way or the other, so I think the most important thing from that standpoint is, let's find out what happened," says Col. Mike Edmonson of the State Police.
Edmonson could not discuss particulars of the case but says he opened an internal investigation within 24 hours of the incident.
Some observers of the video allege racial profiling; Edmondson denies that.
"I can assure you, in my 33 years as a state trooper and my five years as superintendent, I don't tolerate that. I don't condone it. We have training for those things and it's important that when you deal with someone, you deal with them as a person. It's not about the color of their skin," says Edmonson.
"It is extremely saddening and devastating to know that my son and other African Americans in New Orleans have to have the same fear of the police in 2013 as they did in 1913," says Hazel Newman.
The mother of 17-year-old Sidney Newman spoke before the committee and expressed her disappointment with the troopers actions.
"I look at this video and I see brutal force being used against these young men with no reason at all by those who have sworn by oath to protect them," says Newman.
Colonel Edmonson says he wants to rely on facts and he expects the internal investigation to be complete within 60 days. He also pointed out that none of the State Troopers involved in this incident have ever had complaints against them.
