Politicians move to rake in more campaign cash.
"WASHINGTON--Politicians in states from Alabama to Wyoming will be able to rake in bigger contributions for their campaigns, as states race to boost donation limits in response to the flood of outside money in politics...Edwin Bender, executive director of the non-partisan National Institute on Money in State Politics, said the higher caps make it easier for candidates to raise money, but they don't necessarily increase the donor pool..."

An accuracy challenge in election spending.
"In a Nov. 9 story highlighting the value of the news medias watchdog role, Star Tribune reporters Glenn Howatt and Rachel E. Stassen-Berger found a shocking number of errors in the online, searchable files of the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board.Edwin Bender, an expert with the Montana-based National Institute on Money in State Politics, said the errors are disappointing but not surprising. Across the country, agencies like Minnesotas are small and often a target for cost-cutting, given that both political parties would rather avoid a bright spotlight on how money flows in campaigns.

Was the glut of outside spending in 2012 state races just the start?
"'So Damn Much Money,' to quote the title of Robert Kaisers 2010 book, is deluging our political system at all levels. And increasingly these funds are being spent by outside groups, not by the candidates themselves.The Centers latest outside spending report Puppet States: National Power Brokers Pull Strings in State Elections makes this abundantly clear. After studying outside spending in 38 states, the Center found that nonprofits, super PACs, and other non-candidate groups reported spending at least $209 million to influence elections in the 2012 cycle. Our work analyzes data from the National Institute on Money in State Politics (NIMSP) and state elections offices."

Report: More money, interest groups involved in judge elections.
"Spending on judicial elections has skyrocketed in the past decade, leaving some questioning whether justice is for sale, according to a new national report. An estimated $56.4 million was spent on judicial elections nationwide in 2011-12, according to the report by Justice at Stake, the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law and the National Institute on Money in State Politics."

Tea Party figure, Democratic fundraiser face off in Virginia vote.
"(Reuters) - Virginians voted on Tuesday in a closely watched election for governor that has put the Republicans' conservative Tea Party wing on the defensive and drawn record outside money...About 70 percent of the money raised has come from outside the state, which is by far the highest percentage for any U.S. gubernatorial race in history, according to the nonpartisan National Institute on Money In State Politics, in Helena, Montana."

Illinois unions hold strong despite blows to labor.
"CHICAGO (AP) Across the middle of the country, organized labor has taken one hit after another in places that were once union strongholds: Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Indiana, where workers lost bargaining power and saw their ranks shrink, leaving them weaker than almost any time in the past century. The notable exception is Illinois. Here, it's almost as though the Great Recession and the Republican resurgence of 2010 never happened. In the 2010 elections...13 percent of the money Illinois public-employee unions gave to political campaigns went to Republicans, according to an analysis of data from the National Institute on Money in State Politics."

Report highlights jumps in state court race spending.
"In the first election cycle since the Citizens United decision, political parties and special interest groups spent more than $24 million on advertising for 2011-2012 state court races, according to a report released Thursday.

R.I. has a stake in Supreme Court case on donations to political campaigns.
"Of 34,000 individual donors to Rhode Island state campaigns in the 2010-12 election cycles, just 12 bumped up against states aggregate limit, according to a new report by the nonprofit, nonpartisan National Institute on Money in State Politics. Why is this relevant? Because a case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court could blow the lid on Rhode Islands political contribution limits and allow a relatively tiny group of donors to give much more than current law allows."

Report: NRA gave most to local candidates in Wash.
"SEATTLE (AP) When it comes to local politics, the National Rifle Association appears to be keeping a close eye on Washington state.

Money In Politics: The 2012 Election Cost More Than You Think
"During the 2012 election cycle, President Obama and Mitt Romneys campaigns and their allies spent a combined $2.6 billion battling it out for the White House. Add to that the $3.6 billion spent on races for the House and Senate, and you get over $6.2 billion. But thats not all: There were billions more spent at the state level -- the only problem is that it's hard to track that money down."

Casino naysayers have taken Cherokee money

Obamacare's hidden battle: insurance agents push state regulation of guides to new marketplaces
"Early in the summer of 2009, when lawmakers were starting work on what would become the largest health care overhaul in decades, the industry associations that represent insurance agents and brokers caught wind of an obscure provision. The plan called for state and federal governments to hire so-called navigators members of social service organizations, advocacy groups, even chambers of commerce to help people use the new online marketplaces created by the law to choose among insurance plans and enroll in coverage."

Chris Christies SEC Woes
"New Jersey Governor Chris Christie looks like he will coast to re-election. A recent Quinnipac poll showed he is currently up 32 points over his Democratic challenger, State Senator Barbara Buono. But while Christie fans around the country are cheering for a victory across party lines, that could propel his national ambitions, what many observers dont realize is that being chief executive of New Jersey could actually make it harder for the governor to launch a bid for the White House in 2016..."

WATCHDOG: Oil, gas lobby shell out big money to defeat Ohio tax
"When Ohio Gov. John Kasich pitched his budget a few months ago, he made a big deal about a fracking tax that would bring billions of dollars to the state in the coming years. ... Almost 60 percent of Ohioans agreed, telling pollsters they favored higher taxes on oil and gas drillers. Despite that support, the tax never had a chance. It was dead on arrival at Ohios House of Representatives a few weeks later..."

Texans outpace congressional colleagues on big donations
"Texas congressional candidates rely far more heavily on large donors than office-seekers in other states do, a Houston Chronicle analysis of federal campaign data for the 2012 election cycle found. Three-quarters of Texas' congressional candidates collected less than 5 percent of their campaign funds from donations under $200 last year, a rate that is lower than all but nine other states. A majority of checks from high-dollar Texas contributions went to Republicans, with just 15 percent of large donors siding with Democrats. Houston, the top city for big-dollar campaign cash, supplied 28 percent of all large donations from Texas last year. The reliance on larger contributions increases the political influence of wealthy donors, said Pete Quist, research director for the National Institute of Money in State Politics..."

Groups targeted in Ohio spin web of connections
"Of the Ohio groups granted tax-exempt status as social welfare or education organizations in the last two years, nearly half shared lawyers, public relations advisers and, in some cases, offices. These entanglements could be among the reasons these groups were delayed or targeted by the Internal Revenue Service office in Cincinnati that is at the heart of the ongoing controversy surrounding the agency. Soon after the scandal erupted, the IRS disclosed more than 200 groups that had been approved for tax-exempt status through the Cincinnati office, and that list included eight groups from Ohio..."

'Big Marijuana,' 'sugar daddies,' politics behind push to legalize medical marijuana in Florida
"TALLAHASSEE - From the beginning, the legislative push to legalize medical marijuana came with a deep-seated sense of impending doom. Slim to none, were the chances state Rep. Katie Edwards, D-Plantation, gave a bill she filed this year to legalize medical marijuana. ... Her bill, and one filed by state Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, did not receive a committee hearing this session. Though supporters hit a legislative brick wall, legalization supporters did maintain a sense of optimism. And for good reason."

Special-interest money to flow into campaigns
"HARTFORD -- Changes to Connecticut's campaign finance laws will allow far more special-interest money to flow into races for governor and the General Assembly. Among other changes, candidates who use public money to fuel their races can now help supporters and political parties raise funds that can be spent independently in support of their publicly financed campaigns. Together, they are free to raise the sorts of special interest money that public financing was intended to counter in state politics..."

Analysis: Miss. campaign spending hard to track
"JACKSON, Miss. (AP) If you want to know who's spending money to influence voters in Mississippi, you may have a hard time getting a complete picture. State candidates have to file reports of their donations and spending with the secretary of state. So do political action committees. But reports from political action committees may not make it clear what those groups are supporting or opposing. And a recent study warns that other kinds of communications meant to influence voters aren't tracked at all in Mississippi. That study, from the National Institute on Money in State Politics, flunked Mississippi's system for tracking what outside groups are doing to influence elections..."

Florida Gets 'D' Grade For Political Spending Disclosure
"Despite sweeping campaign-finance reform this year, a new scorecard from the National Institute on Money In State Politics gives Florida a D grade for disclosure requirements. State rankings are based on how well the public can follow non-campaign money spent to elect politicians. Florida ranked higher than many states because it does require groups outside of political campaigns to disclose how they spend money..."

Lax state rules provide cover for sponsors of attack ads
"While much criticism has been lobbed at the federal system for failing to adequately identify who is spending money to influence campaigns, 35 states have independent spending disclosure laws that are less stringent than federal election law. In fact, in 30 states its impossible to total how much money outside groups are spending on campaigns, information that is mostly available when it comes to federal contests. Thats according to a new 50-state analysis by the National Institute on Money in State Politics, which graded the states on disclosure requirements for super PACs, nonprofits and other outside spending groups..."

Tobacco industry pours it on while Indiana cuts back
"t was the proudest moment of his career as state health commissioner; indeed, the proudest, he declares, in the history of Indiana public health.

Today, Feldman uses different terms to describe the states posture toward Big Tobacco. Like irresponsible. Pitiful. And perhaps worst of all, predictable..."

Cookie-cutter legislation: How a corporate bill mill plays into Montana politicsand why you should care
"On Feb. 11, House Bill 315 came to the floor of the Montana House of Representatives. The measure sought to legalize the establishment of public charter schools in the state, and as added incentive for lawmakers, proponents pointed out that Montana is one of only eight states in the country that has yet to pass such legislation. What followed was a heated debate over the bills exemption of charter schools from state regulation and the glaring lack of technical qualifications required of charter school teachers. In the middle of that discussion, HB 315 sponsor Rep. Austin Knudsen, a Republican from Culbertson, inserted a rather random defense. 'In the committee hearing it was suggested that this is an ALEC bill,' Knudsen said. 'Its not. It actually comes from the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools.'"

Nurses spar with doctors as 30 million insured seek care

Fifty miles away, in Las Cruces, N.M., dozens of nurse practitioners at clinics like Blanco's are busy caring for patients with a range of diseases from diabetes to asthma to depression. The only difference between the facilities is that in Texas, nurse practitioners are required to have a doctor under contract approve 10 percent of medical charts and spend one of 10 days at the clinic. In New Mexico, no doctor is needed."

During the Spring 2010 semester in Paris a collaboration took place between Columbia University's New/York Paris Program and the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture Paris-Malaquais. Through the coordination of Patrick O'Connor, the two student bodies met over the course of the semester, in seminar format, to consider the development of Paris from an international point of view, in comparison to the native perspective.
This collection of essays by architecture and urban studies students from Columbia University was produced as part of the Architecture, Planning and Preservation course of the New York/Paris program, instructed and edited by Michael Herrman and based upon the "Illusory Cities" chapter of Hypercontextuality: the architecture of displacement and placelessness (Michael Herrman, CNR 2009, Rome).
In conjunction, the essays by architecture students from the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture Paris-Malaquais were produced under the guidance of Brent Patterson.

In a snap, these eight workouts will help you break a sweat, fire up your metabolism, and burn some serious calories. Since these videos only take a few short minutes, they can also be combined for the ultimate total body tone. Press play and use these workouts as a guide to make every minute and every move fit within your busy schedule. P90X If you've always been intrigued by the P90X at-home workout infomercials, we have a 10-minute taste for you to try — before your Thanksgiving! This cardio burst combines, balance, strength, and stretch from P90X and X2. It isn't easy, but it's sure worth the burn. 1 / 8 Full-Body Blast This full-body blast is just as fun as it is effective. With the help of Teddy Bass, Cameron Diaz's trainer, you'll work your legs, butt, arms, and abs without having to head to the gym. You will get your heart rate up while you strength train to help torch calories. 2 / 8 Do-Anywhere Workout If you're looking for a no-excuses workout, we have one for you. This strength-building workout is perfect if you're traveling for the holidays: it works your entire body and doesn't require any props. Since it gets your heart rate up, you'll burn loads of calories before your holiday feast. 3 / 8 10-Minute Boot Camp If you think bikini bodies are just for Summer, think again. Using a pair of three- to five-pound weights, Hollywood trainer Jeanette Jenkins will have your heart rate up and muscles burning this holiday season. Press play and get going — after a few sessions, you will start to see some serious results! 4 / 8 Power Pyramid This pyramid-style workout will make you sweat from head to toe with celeb trainer Jackie Warner — the queen of flat abs. To save your time during the holidays, each exercise combines two moves, making the workout efficient and effective. This workout is intense but helps build strength and torch calories. 6 / 8 R.I.P.P.E.D. Fat-Blaster Workout After this workout, you'll feel OK about indulging in a piece of pie. This fat-burning workout, created by the founders of R.I.P.P.E.D., will tone you from head to toe and get your heart pumping. Use a set of hand weights, between five and 10 pounds, and prepare to get your sweat on. 6 / 8 10-Minute CrossFit-Style Workout The intensity of CrossFit is no secret — neither are the fantastic results! Designed to maximize calorie burn in a short period of time, you'll be able to work your entire body with just four moves in this CrossFit-style workout. The best part about this video is that you can compete with yourself by trying to do more reps of each move when you do the second round. The minutes will fly by, and you won't feel guilty asking for seconds during dinnertime. 7 / 8 No-Props, No-Excuses Total-Body Workout Celebrity trainer Ashley Borden has created an equipment-free, total-body workout that will make you long and lean.

Restaurant Food Safety Apps for Up-To-Date Information
Author: Maggie Moulatsiotis
Staying informed about food recalls in your area is important to providing safe, fresh and consistently great menu items for your customers. To help food service professionals stay up-to-date, federal food safety agencies have adopted user-friendly methods of outreach such as computer desktop alerts, daily email messages and smart phone apps to keep food service professionals up-to-date on safe food distribution.
Here is a list of the agencies and applications for prompt food safety and recall information:
FSIS: Food Safety and Inspection Services
The USDA created this agency to ensure "the nation's commercial supply of meat, poultry, and egg products is safe, wholesome and correctly labeled and packaged." (Source)
Food service professionals can stay connected to all USDA information through a daily FSIS email that covers a variety of categories including news and events, food recalls and regulations and policies.
Sign up for a daily feed here.
FDA: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
The FDA is an over-arching agency that encompasses food, tobacco and medical products. This agency also oversees global regulatory operations, policy and operations.
The FDA's Office of Foods provides a wealth of information on topics such as food defense and emergency response, food ingredients and packaging, food recalls, labeling and nutrition and food safety.
Get your daily dose by subscribing to the FDA email feed.
CDC: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
This government agency investigates and researches public health threats. The CDC is an informative source for restaurants to follow as it announces food contamination outbreaks such as E. coli and Salmonella in tainted food products.
Keep informed with your choice of daily CDC RSS feeds to your computer or smart phone.
This is a comprehensive website of the three above mentioned agencies; the FSIS, FDA and CDC.

NOTE: NUMBER 3 on the topo. Tape up or your hands will look like a bowl of mashed berries. Other than that, its simple - jam up the beautiful handcrack. Think about 'swapping sides' at the squeezy crux. The upper half turns into an offwidth trough (think about long pants, gobi knees). If you don't feel comfortable running out the last 30' to the anchors, set a belay (on gear) at the obvious shelf in an alcove. Bring up your second, then do the second short pitch to the top. This climb is the 5.8 Vedauwoo 'hands' testpiece.
Take a full rack, lite on the wires and assorted stuff, and heavy on the medium and large cams (rec. 3x#1, 3x#2, 2x#3, 2x#3 1/2 Camalots). A 60m rope is recommended. It's 2 rap stations to the ground from the top as indicated on the topo.

, the Florida-based education facility specializing in digital media, audio, film, video, live show production, game design, and computer animation, has purchased a grandMA console and three grandMA ultra-light consoles for its Show Production and Touring Degree program, from North American Distributor A.C. Lighting, Inc.
Dana Roun, program director for Show Production at Full Sail, explains the decision-making process and why grandMA works so well for Full Sail. "We required a console representing current and future industry standards. Our task was to seek out a console not only found in the industry but also a great educational tool. We needed beyond point-of-sale support too. Around the same time, I did a show in Amsterdam. We specified the grandMA at the request of our LD. I saw first-hand the ease of programming and how functional the grandMA console was on typical one-off corporate show. Our LD, Patrick Dierson, was very familiar with the top consoles in the industry including the grandMA. We saw the console being used by a pro, which didn't hurt our first real test drive.
"What really tied everything together were the educational benefits," Roun continues. "Students are trained in design and visualization aspects plus console operation. This training requires maximum exposure to preshow design and programming. I believe we were the first educational facility to discover one of the most impressive attributes of the grandMA product--free integrated software downloads for any student wishing to design outside of our regular CAD lab facilities. This means students wishing to spend their own time at home could really get the maximum out of this package. Our students will be some of the first trained users entering the industry which will only help their positioning as they compete for jobs. We plan to be a part of the grandMA success story."
Full Sail has over 3,000 active students in six degree programs. The Show Production program graduates a total of around 200 students per year with 85% placement statistics.

It was a tense moment for the University of South Carolina equestrian team Thursday afternoon as their flight from Charlotte Douglas International Airport had to be aborted when the plane encountered a flock of birds.
According to athletics officials, the incident happened as the plane attempted to take off. The pilots immediately applied the brakes at full force and the plane was able to stop on the runway.
The plane's front wheel was off the ground when the strike occurred, but the pilot was able to put it back down safely and abort takeoff. The pilot did see several birds at the time in the area, but the initial word was that only one bird struck the right-side engine.
Fire trucks did respond to the scene, but only to make sure that the brakes were cooling off properly and did not pose a fire risk because of how hot they got when activated.
The passengers stayed on the plane for approximately two hours and were towed back to the terminal.
No one was injured.
The team landed safely in Kansas City later Thursday evening.

It was a little more than 20 years that a man named John Branton brought the athletic department a replica of Neyland Stadium he and a friend had built. It was housed in a 5x4x2 plexiglass case and built to a scale 1 inch to 20 feet. It was meticulously built, from the number of tunnels (59) to the number of seats (91,100).
Branton, who hailed from Leland, Miss., had previously built replica stadiums for Georgia, Baylor, Notre Dame, and Penn State.
"It was all hard," he said of his experience building the Neyland Stadium replica. "Getting the contour of that curve of the south upper deck was the hardest."
You meet a number of very interesting people in this life. John Branton, the stadium builder, was one of them.
He was definitely one of a kind.

DENTON — By Tuesday evening, we'll know which Denton County communities have decided to go along with an aerial spraying program to combat disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Southlake's City Council voted 6-1 Monday evening to approve participation in the aerial spraying program, and Lewisville's council approved the spraying plan in a 3-1 vote.
But earlier, the county seat and its second-largest city — Denton — declined to go along, joining Carrollton, which has the largest population.
The Denton City Council voted 4-1 against aerial spraying, even though 23 of the county's 121 West Nile cases are within the city limits.
Residents will likely support the decision, but it's still being questioned in the zip code with the most cases.
Denton homeowner Taylor Lymbery supports aerial spraying in the city with a population of more than 115,000. He says the benefits will save lives and prevent people from getting sick.
"I understand people's concerns with not wanting to do aerial spraying," Lymbery said. "But they reassured us that the spray itself is going to break down, and that it is not that harmful."
But many Denton homeowners do not want aerial spraying.
Brandon Thompson says there's just too much uncertainty about the chemicals used to kill the adult mosquitoes that transmit the West Nile virus to humans.
"You don't know how far it will spread or what's around that might be affected by the spray," Thompson said.
Denton city leaders told us their constituents were overwhelmingly opposed to aerial spraying. Mayor Pro Tem Pete Kamp said public sentiment was running 100-1 against it.
"We truly feel like we did what our citizens wanted us to do in the City of Denton," Kamp said.
Denton City Council members voted down aerial spraying despite having 17 West Nile cases per 100,000 people, a rate higher than hard-hit Dallas County.
Council members believe their current approach is working: an aggressive combination of testing, ground spraying, free larvacide briquets and education.
"With our spot spraying and our other educational programs, we have already reduced the incidents of cases and also, the number of mosquitoes," Kamp said.
But Taylor Lymbery says one more West Nile infected person is too many, and aerial spraying may have helped prevent that.
These Denton County cities have also decided against participating in the aerial spraying program:
- Carrollton
- Coppell
- Dallas
- Denton
- Haslet
- Hebron
- Plano
- Providence Village
- The Colony
Among the communities opting in to the aerial campaign:
- Corral City
- Town of Crossroads
- Town of Dish
- Town of Double Oak
- Town of Flower Mound
- Hackberry
- Krum
- Lake Dallas
- Lakewood Village
- Lewisville
- Lincoln Park
- Town of Northlake
- Pilot Point
- Ponder
- Sanger
- Southlake
- Town of Trophy Club
- Denton County Fresh Water Supply 1-A
Denton County's third-largest city, Lewisville -- with a population of 96,000 -- is among the municipalities that have not yet decided on whether to join the aerial spraying program.

What To Wear When The Surf's Actually Up-------
Surf style rules on the runways and at retail as of late. (Check back on Monday for our Summer Shopping Guide, which includes a few of our favorite surf-inspired duds.) But for all the style, there are very few pieces that can actually stand up to a session on the waves. That's where Karen Mulligan and Jillian Demling come in. A couple of fashion-loving jocks—or sports-loving fashionistas?—the friends decided to design their new line, Pret-a-Surf, when they couldn't find functional gear that looked suitably sophisticated. "I'm not a teenager," Mulligan, a veteran surfer, explains simply. "I wanted to wear things to the beach that looked grown-up and cool." Thus, the label, which has just debuted at stores including Opening Ceremony and Jeffrey and launches officially at Williamsburg's Mollusk Surf Shop tomorrow.
"It was really vital to us to have the launch at a real surf shop," Demling says. "I mean, the pieces are versatile, I wear them as fashion, but we went out of our way to use great, high-performance fabrics." The debut collection includes pinup-style bikinis and maillots, microfloral board shorts, and color-block rash guards designed with both utility and vintage wave-rider chic in mind. The designers hope to expand into fashionable gear for other athletic activities, too, such as snowboarding, skiing, golf, and tennis. "Basically, our goal is to outfit any girl who plays sports and wants to look good," Mulligan says.

|Hawkesworth, John, 1715?-1773
An Account of the Voyages Undertaken by the Order of His Present Majesty for Making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere, And successively performed by Commodore Byron, Captain Wallis, Captain Carteret, And Captain Cook, In the Dolphin, the Swallow, and the Endeavour: Drawn up From the Journals which were kept by the several Commanders, And from the Papers of Joseph Banks, Esq.

London: W. Strahan and T. Cadell, 1774
On Captain James Cook's final voyage to the South Seas on January 15, 1779 Cook's ships, the Resolution and the Discovery approached the west coast of the island of Hawaii. They were greeted by thousands of Hawaiians bearing food and gifts in their canoes. News of the strangers' ships and movements had been circulating among the inhabitants of the island for a few weeks. The bay Cook chose to dock in, Kealakekua Bay, then known as Karakakooa Bay, had a special significance to the Hawaiians. The name of the bay meant, 'pathway to the gods'. What happened next has been in debate ever since. One theory is that the Hawaiians thought Cook was a diety, Lono, who had left from that bay promising to return someday. Another complication was that Cook arrrived at the time of their annual festivities for Lono. Cook and his men were given a warm welcome and for two weeks enjoyed the Hawaiians' food and hospitality.
Cook left the bay on Februay 4 but the weather deteriorated and one of the ships became damaged. Cook decided it would be safer to return to Kealakekua Bay to do the needed repairs. When he returned he got a decidedly less warm welcome than the first time. Part of this might have been he had already been there for two weeks. Tensions mounted as the men repaired their ship. Some things were stolen from the ship and there were scuffles in the effort to retrieve them. Cook eventually tried to get King Terreeoboo to come aboard the Resolution. Why he was trying to do this has also been the subject of much debate. Was it a harmless gesture, or was he trying to take him hostage in order to retrieve the stolen goods? The King went willingly but as they were about to leave, his mother and one of his wives asked him not to go on board. There was much confusion and at this time the King wouldn't come aboard voluntarily. The situation might have resolved itself peacefully but men aboard the Resolution fired a canon killing another chief. This reinforced the Hawaiians' suspicions about the now unwelcome visitors and Cook was killed in the resulting fight.

Poe, Edgar Allan, 1809-1849
Poe's novel was written early in his career after being advised that his short stories would not make a profit in the publishing climate of that time. He took the suggestion and produced a narrative in a genre that was very popular, the discovery or travel narrative. Poe included many elements of the genre: the story is told in first person as though based on a journal, the plot takes a traveler into unknown territory, and troubles and sufferings encountered en route are related. Even with these stylistic similarities Poe made the story distinctly his own. The emptiness and isolation of the Arctic landscape fit well with his affinity for horror.

Photographer/journalist in Salisbury, MD
"A.J. Green at No 5. He's almost 6-foot-4 and 211 pounds. He does not look that big on film. He has elements of Randy Moss as a vertical receiver, with his long fluid stride, his excellent body control and leaping ability, and his soft hands. Green, much like Andre Johnson, moves like a smaller man. But he's a smoother, more elegant athlete, a glider with deceptive separation and acceleration. His ease of movement belies his explosiveness. This year marks is his first real NFL offseason, and I would expect Green to improve significantly, particularly at the small details of the position, like beating press coverage. There's no question Green has an elite skill set with his combination of size, movement and hands. So it's no surprise that he's already in the conversation regarding the league's top wide receivers." --Greg Cosell

Remember all those moans in Seahawks Nation when a lot of close team observers accused the team of making a major reach with the selection of "One Trick Pony" Bruce Irvin in the first round of this year's draft? With Irvin's first season in a Seahawks uniform fast approaching the halfway point, the increasing cries of "Bruuuuuce" in CenturyLink Field should not be confused with boos in any way, shape or form.
"He's turned out to be exactly what they wanted," one team insider said of Irvin, who, along with fellow DE Chris Clemons, has wasted no time turning on Seahawks fans as a potent pass-rush parlay already considered to be on a par with the Michael Sinclair-Michael McCrary combo that wreaked havoc on opposing QBs in 1996. "When he got those two sacks early against the Packers in the Monday-night win, the fans just fell in love with him."
That also appears to be the case, we hear, with Clemons, who apparently has very enthusiastically taken Irvin under his wing.
"He has really taken to Irvin, like a big brother," the observer said of Clemons, who was responsible for one-third of the Seahawks' sack total last season. "Irvin hates the whole 'one trick pony' rap that he's nothing more than a pure outside pass rusher. Clemons works with him on counter moves, spins, and Irvin has proven to be very willing to learn, spending lots of time in the film room.
"Clemons is a great mentor because he started out in a situational role like Irvin."
So did 49ers 2011 first-round DE Aldon Smith, who made a major impact as a pure pass rusher with 14 sacks, the second-most ever by a rookie in league history. In his second season, Smith has expanded his role and become an every-down starter at right outside linebacker.
The way we hear it, while Irvin is gradually expected to spell Clemons at the "Leo" position more on run downs, he will remain primarily a relentless force in passing situations for the foreseeable future, with both Clemons and DLE Red Bryant considered such rock-solid run stoppers.

The UFC loves to try and make Super Bowl weekend as big as ever, and this year, UFC 143 hopes to deliver with a bout featuring Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit.
Diaz-Condit will be for the UFC interim welterweight championship on February 4 from Las Vegas, and the two fighters will be profiled for the three-part UFC Primetime special beginning January 20 on FX. The show will be televised at 11:00 PM EST, with the remaining two episodes being broadcast on January 27 and February 3.
Diaz was originally set to face Georges St. Pierre for the French-Canadian's UFC title, but GSP suffered a knee injury in training and will be out for several months. The UFC decided to make Diaz-Condit a bout for the interim title, meaning the winner will face St. Pierre when he returns to crown an undisputed champion.
UFC Primetime goes in-depth to show the fighters training and at home, helping viewers get a better understanding of who they really are outside of the Octagon.
MMATraining Take: This is going to be must-see-TV, as Diaz is a very non-public person, so what he allows the UFC to film for the show will be interesting. He obviously gave his approval for the show to happen, so maybe Diaz is trying to come out of his shell a little bit more. We will see.
