As training camp approaches, we take a look at the players on each team who will be most heavily scrutinized. The list contains a fair amount of quarterbacks — no stunner there — but we tried to highlight as many non-QBs as we could. The players highlighted range from rookies to veterans with 10 or more years of experience.
In the sixth of an eight-part series, we look at the NFC North from the 2011 order of finish:
Packers OLB Nick Perry
The Packers drafted Perry and DE Jerel Worthy to help reinvigorate a defense that fell from grace last season, ranking last in yards allowed and sacks. Clay Matthews was the one true rusher in the front seven, and the hope is that Perry's electric speed and athleticism will translate into sacks and pressures right away. If he can be a one-trick pony as a rookie and get after opposing quarterbacks, a la the Niners' Aldon Smith last season, the pick will be hailed as a success. None of the Packers' other linebackers possesses the edge-heating ability of the first-rounder from USC.
Others worth mentioning: C Jeff Saturday, CB Tramon Williams.
Lions DT Ndamukong Suh
Are we seeing a softer side of Suh? Is that a good thing? Much has been made of Suh's involvement in a Fox-produced dating show called "The Choice" set to hit TV screens this June. But more pressing on the minds of Lions fans is whether their third-year havoc wreaker is going to play more in line with the way he did as a rookie, notching 10 sacks and making the Pro Bowl, and less as he did last season, which saw a dip in production (four sacks) and a proneness to lose his cool. Suh is the Lions' defensive centerpiece, and having a healthy Nick Fairley available to sub in more often could make it a more devastating front. The Lions are counting on Suh making the choice to be more dominant.
Others worth mentioning: RB Jahvid Best, CB Bill Bentley.
Bears WR Brandon Marshall
The Bears are pinning their hopes on Marshall to transform an offense that was strong at times, decent at others but completely ineffective once QB Jay Cutler and RB Matt Forte went down. Simply put, they lacked a receiver who dictated coverage and could make plays downfield consistently. Now they have one in Marshall, but he attracts more than just safety help. Trouble seems to find him, and though the Bears have defended Marshall's character, it will be up to Cutler (his cohort from Denver) and Bears leaders to keep the talented wideout in line. And just because Marshall might be out of the woods with his most recent legal troubles, that doesn't mean he will escape discipline from the league office — we've seen it before.
Others worth mentioning: ORT Gabe Carimi, SS Major Wright.
Vikings QB Christian Ponder
Adrian Peterson always will be the big dog in Minnesota, and the progress of his rehabilitation from ACL surgery no doubt will be the biggest story to follow as training camp approaches. But from that point on, and really regardless of Peterson's condition, Ponder must step up and show that his regression down the stretch last season will be reversed. Too often, he came off his spots, got too turnover-happy and appeared to lose confidence. But a new left tackle (Matt Kalil) and deep receiver (Jerome Simpson) and some added depth at tight end should improve the support staff and allow Ponder to display more of the franchise-QB traits he teased the Vikings with in 10 mixed-bag starts (2-8 record) as a rookie.
Others worth mentioning: Peterson, Kalil.

A disabled Evansville man is fighting for better access to air travel for those confined to wheelchairs. He'll soon take his campaign to Washington.
Ben Trockman was mostly paralyzed in a motocross accident in 2006. Today, his role as national representative for Easter Seals, is taking him to cities across the country.
But because no airlines are equipped to handle his motorized wheelchair, his trips that could take hours, are taking days on the road.
"I'm a person with passion. I want to do things and get out and see the world," Trockman said.
When Trockman travels to Washington next week, this is how he'll do it.
"Ever since I was named national representative in 2012, we've had to do a lot of traveling as a family, a lot of driving," Trockman said.
His wheelchair locks into an E-Z lock system attached to the van floor, and Trockman believes a similar idea could work on airplanes.
"I can get into my car within 15 seconds and to me, there's no reason that airlines can't be as accessible as vehicles," Trockman said.
That's why Trockman will be taking his accessible airplane petition and it's 933 signatures and counting to Washington. He's meeting with lawmakers and the Department of Transportation.
"There are a lot of barriers in this world. Really it takes time and effort and a lot of thought to change things and improve things. I look forward to that battle. It may take some time, but I want to see it through," Trockman shared.
Trockman said he doesn't look back at his injury, only forward. He hopes he can help change the lives of others and the families around them.
"People with disabilities don't give up, they just see a different future," Trockman said. "I look back at my petition and I see all these people that are supporting me. I can't let, I have my head on this task."
Trockman said that other concerns include pressure sores and damage to wheelchairs being stowed.
In March, both the Indiana House and Senate passed a non-binding resolution in support of his mission.

In the second game of the opening round of the ACC Tournament, the 19-9 Wake Forest Demon Deacons take on the 18-12 Miami Hurricanes in the #5 vs. #12 matchup. No. 4 seeded Virginia Tech awaits the winner.
Last time out, the Demon Deacons got a much needed and hard-fought home victory over the Clemson Tigers. Al-Farouq Aminu broke out of his two game scoring funk, leading all Wake scorers with 18 points and 12 boards, as Wake defeated Clemson 70-65. Senior guard Ish Smith added 12 points in the victory. The win pushed Wake's record to 19-9 (9-7 ACC), but more importantly, stopped a four game ACC losing streak. While a win over Clemson went along way to punching Wake's ticket to the NCAA Tournament, they can ill-afford to bow out of the first round of the ACC Tournament to Miami. With an ever shrinking NCAA Tournament bubble, a loss to Miami would be very costly to Wake's tournament hopes.
For Miami, a season of much promise has turned into a rather forgettable one. After starting the season 15-1 by snacking on a fairly light non-conference schedule, Miami stumbled to the finish winning only 3 games in their final 14. The 'Canes were the only team in the ACC to go 0-for-8 on the road, and their only two wins away from the BankUnited Center this season came against 7-24 Pepperdine Waves and the 7-22 Stetson Hatters.
Even though Miami has lost 11 of their final 14, this isn't to suggest that they haven't been competitive during the second half of the season. Miami took a very good Florida State team to the limit in the regular season finale, having a chance to win the game in their final possession (61-60). Of the few wins Miami does have in conference, they aren't to pushover teams either. Miami has defeated Wake, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, all likely teams that will be Dancing next week. The 'Canes are 3-4 in games decided by 5 points or less, and lost their last three league games by a total of 13 points.
This year, the Hurricanes and Deacons split this year's season series. On January 9, Miami's James Dews sank a shot with 30 seconds left to life the Canes to a 67-66 victory over then 11-3 Wake Forest. The victory pushed the Hurricanes record to 15-1, 1-1 ACC. That home win would serve as the high water mark for U-M hoops this year, as the Canes went on to lose 4 straight ACC games and 11 of their final 14 games. Wake Forest returned the favor on February 2, when freshman C.J. Harris paced the Deacons with 12 points in a 62-53 win over Miami. The Wake Forest defense held Miami to just one point in that game's final five minutes. Wake Forest holds a 7-3 lead in the all-time series.
Here's what our Wake Forest blog Blogger So Dear had to say about Miami's keys to winning the game:
They are able to zone the Deacs into submission and get hot from three. The 'Canes have had Wake's number when it comes to zone defense the last couple years and Head Coach Frank Haith is going to need to keep Wake's bigs in check and force the Demon Deacons to shoot over the top. Miami is down Dwayne Collins and desperately needs to hit their shots in bunches to stay in this game. They would also be wise to slow the tempo down and make Wake work in their half court set.
For Wake Forest, it starts with their big men Al-Farouq Aminu and Chas McFarland. A solid game by both of those players will likely be enough to push the Deacons onto the next round and a date with No. 4 Virginia Tech. Another key will be the play of freshmen C.J. Harris and Ari Stewart. As Wake's freshmen shooters go, so goes Wake. If Harris and Stewart are able to get hot, the Deacs will be able to bust zones and take pressure off of Wake's big men. If the pair goes cold, you may very well see Miami pull off the upset.
GAME NOTES: Wake Forest is 42-51 all-time in ACC Tournament play, having won 4 Tournament titles (the last in 1996, thank you Tim Duncan). Since joining the conference in 2004, Miami is 3-4 all-time in tournament play.
FACTS & STATS: Site: Greensboro Coliseum (23,500) - Greensboro, North Carolina. Television: Raycom. Home Record: Wake Forest 13-2, Miami Fla. 12-4. Away Record: Wake Forest 5-7, Miami Fla. 2-8. Neutral Record: Wake Forest 1-0, Miami 2-0. Conference Record: Wake Forest 9-7, Miami 4-12. Series Record: Wake Forest leads the all-time series 7-3.
Thursday, March 11th, 2:00 PM ET (Raycom)
Miami has at least been competitive down the stretch, but for a team that went 0-for away from the BankUnited Center in ACC play, I can't see them stealing this one from Wake.
Prediction: Wake Forest 79, Miami 75

When it comes to sleep disorders, insomnia isn't the only affliction robbing the weary of rest - and profits. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and about half don't realize it. Sleep apnea causes sufferers' airways to close every few minutes and forces the individuals awake as they fight for air. The symptoms? Snoring and daytime sleepiness. The malady has been linked to serious harm, such as strokes and heart disease.

Group Seeks Public Funding of "Gun Art" Shows
From APB reports. KNOXVILLE - A group seeking to have "gun art" installations in parks and other Knoxville and Knox County public areas, including government buildings, also desires the government to help fund its efforts.
"Putting officially sanctioned gun art in public places would go a long way toward reducing the apprehension and misinformation that currently plagues the proper appreciation of the role guns have historically played in American society and culture," said Will Caponof, spokesperson for Gunners United in Artful Respect for and Defense of Depictions of an Oeuvre with Guns (GUARDDOG). "We feel this is an imaginative compromise between a total ban on guns in public places and rightful gun freedom."
GUARDDOG also argues that the public safety and public service would be enhanced with public placement of gun art. One idea the group has suggested is installing magnetically "holstered" handguns on pedestals in public parks and other places. These installations would serve as art, allowing those unfamiliar with the quality craftsmanship that goes into firearms to begin to appreciate their beauty. But if a crisis occurred, a licensed gun carrier could swipe a carry permit through an electronic scanner to free the gun from its magnetic holster for defensive use. "And you'd be required to replace any bullets used," said Caponof.
He added that having pass-key-controlled howitzers lining Knoxville's greenways would serve as excellent examples of installation art, "contrasting the severe beauty of their regimented, uniform lethality with the wildlife surrounding them - and they would also be wonderful crime deterrents."
As to the public service aspect of gun art, Caponof said, "Guns bring people from diverse cultures together. Admittedly, when the gun comes out in a public place, those people quickly scatter, but even as they flee, they are united as one in their fear."
Liza Penne-Ziti, Chair of Knoxville's Firearms Elucidation and Arts Reconciliation Subcommittee for Overseeing and Monitoring Lethal Objects, Ornaments, Nonesuchs, Illustrations or Emblems (FEARSOMELOONIE) committee, said that while GUARDDOG's ideas were "provocative" and "unique," such a program would require careful study before any action could be taken.
"We don't want a free-for-all," she said. "Things like that, pieces like that, things they just wanted to have in case they need to shoot somebody ... Many of those works you wouldn't really call works of art. Of course, they would dispute that."
Leon Bills, Knoxville's senior director of diplomatically passing decisions to quasi-autonomous bodies, said it was good that the FEARSOMELOONIE committee was in place to handle such requests.
"It's something that's been long needed," he said. "You need some vehicle to make decisions on what weapons are art, which type of firearm would be considered, what is appropriate ammo and where is the most strategic placement for it."
GUARDDOG member Walter Pepekay said that it didn't matter what roadblocks the FEARSOMELOONIE committee threw in the way of GUARDDOG's plan and that the impetus to fund gun art publicly would only grow in the future.
"Gun art is a reflection of current American culture and social mores, because guns are everywhere, guns are what makes America great, no matter what the deniers say," explained Pepekay. "So to have guns in public places is merely recognizing what's already true in America. And gun art is also an expression of an idealized culture, in which guns are figuratively and literally put on a pedestal in the place of high esteem with which they should be rightfully honored."
Caponof pointed out the commercial benefits of public gun art as well.
"Knoxville seems an ideal place for gun art, especially historic gun art," proclaimed Caponof. "You could have gun art marking sites of historic gun battles in downtown Knoxville. At the site of each, we could install exact replicas of the type of guns used in the fight. For instance, we could have a duplicate of Knoxville Constable Don C. Lusby's pistol placed near Gay Street, where he gunned down his friend Will C. Mabry On Christmas Eve 1881, and then replicas of the pistols used to kill Lusby and his father, Moses, inside the Recorder's Court chambers in 1882. And, of course, you'd have to have facsimiles of the guns used in the Gay Street murders of Will Mabry's father, General Joseph Alexander Mabry, his son Joseph A. Mabry, Jr., and Major Thomas O' Connor later in the year. It'd be historical, educational and aesthetical. Tourists would flock to it. Old blood feuds and vendettas are very family-friendly."
However, FEARSOMELOONIE member Zane Pearson said the committee would never approve funds for public firearms installations if he had his way.
"It's simple: Guns and art don't mix," Pearson said.
Caponof called such attitudes "prejudicially Neanderthal. Adults with proper training will always be able to enjoy gun art in a responsible and life-affirming way. Art doesn't kill people - loaded art kills people."

KISUA Takes African Talent Global-------
Two unique African voices, CEO Samuel Mensah and his partner, creative director Danica Lepen, will launch e-commerce site KISUA in early October, with the goal of bringing emerging and established African designs to the global market. "Even though we have a focus on creating globally marketable and well-priced garments, we have gone to great lengths to retain authenticity in our collections. As we expand and grow, we will look further into incorporating more and more specialized traditional African methods such as beading, dyeing, weaving and hand-printing," Lepen tells Style.com.
For its initial launch, KISUA will offer fully funded "collaborative capsule lines" from ten designers across Africa, from South Africa to the Democratic Republic of Congo. "With these ten designers, the starting point was to take a deeper look into what each of their design features and aesthetics are, and to see what elements we could take from that in order to create something new under the KISUA brand," Lepen explains.
They've also successfully rallied the support of other powerful voices with ties to Africa, including designer Ozwald Boateng, Lagos fashion and design week founder Omoyemi Akerele, and Joop van der Meij, the former CEO of Vlisco, a leading manufacturer of African wax-print fabric. Each of these influencers sits on an advisory board to help the KISUA management team.
Additionally, the brand will set up the KISUA African Designer Fund to help provide monetary support to their designers' businesses, and launch a content-filled portion of the site that gives a glimpse into Africa's creative community. "We have a wide network of contributors from Africa and beyond," Mensah says. "We promise to take the KISUA customer on a journey to experience contemporary African culture with stories ranging from fashion, music, art, and literature."

Glendale approves Phoenix Coyotes lease agreement
Glendale officials approved a proposed $320 million deal to keep the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on Tuesday night.
The new deal was passed by a 4-2 vote.
The renegotiated deal would help Glendale lower payments in the early years of the 20-year deal and would save the city $4 million.
Potential owner Greg Jamison and his group of investors can now take the next step in attempting to complete the purchase of the Coyotes. He has expressed an interest in moving quickly to close the deal with the league.
According to the lease agreement, Jamison has until Jan. 31 to complete the sale of the team. During the meeting, he said he was hoping to complete it within the next 30 to 60 days.
The NHL has owned the franchise since 2009.

The bad news is that the mixed messages Mike Singletary has shown a penchant for sending continued with the release of Michael Lewis. The veteran strong safety was told by one of the team's secondary coaches that there was no truth to the growing rumor that he was on the verge of being replaced by rookie Taylor Mays. We hear Lewis was a very unhappy camper a few days later when Singletary told him that he was indeed going to be replaced by the team's second-round draft pick. The good news is that Mays made a very positive impression in his first pro start in Week Four against Atlanta. "With his 4.3 speed, Mays is much faster than Lewis, who had basically become more of a nickel linebacker," one daily team observer said. "Mays' natural talent is off the scales. He's smart, he's good in run support and the team was pleasantly surprised by his diligence and feel for the game."

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story: I was sitting in my second hour 9th grade Geometry class when suddenly the principal of my school came in, interrupting our lesson. "Can I borrow your teacher for a minute?" she asked. When Ms. Kampa returned, she pressed the button for the TV and told us the terrible news: the World Trade Center, one of the icons of American society, had been destroyed. As the TV screen slowly flickered to life, a small buzz swept throughout the classroom
What happened? Are we in a war? And, most importantly, who could have done such a thing? All throughout the day, 9/11 conversations could be heard in the halls and classrooms. When we got home, though, we got the whole story.
Later that day we attended a candlelit service at my church. During the prayer circle, one woman began to speak. As she fought tears, she told of her husband, who had recently flown to the World Trade Center for business. She hadn't heard from him since the previous evening, and she wasnt sure if he was even alive. This just reminded me all the more of the seriousness of this event.
Life Changed: I guess my life hasn't really changed too much since that fateful day. Although I'm not a huge fan of President Bush, his position on life after 9/11 has really impacted American society. It seems as if everyone has tried so hard to keep their lifestyle and everything the same that it really didnt change much at all; September 11th is just a memory for most of us. Even though the world has positioned a spotlight on Afghanistan and the rest of the Middle East, this event hasnt really changed many aspects of my life.
Should be remembered: The main thing I think should be remembered has to do with one of the possible reasons for why the terrorists did this. I think that one of the reasons some other countries have a problem with the U.S. is because we're so much richer than them and we often try to help, but our attempts don't always succeed and often end up causing more problems. I believe that this may be one point the terrorists wanted to get across, however violent their method of communicating was.
Flag: I've never really been a patriotic person, and I guess September 11th didn't change that for me. After the first couple of days, I think I got over my urge to display a flag on everything I owned. After all, our family doesnt even own a flagpole! If we were to install one, it would probably carry a Swedish flag, since my family is fascinated by our Swedish heritage and I'm nearly fluent in Swedish now. However, now I better understand why so many people make the decision to display their patriotism.

New Yorkers Scramble After Transit Strike
Millions Of Commuters Scramble To Get To Work; Emergency Plan In Effect
UPDATED: 12:46 pm EST December 20, 2005
NEW YORK -- Subways and buses across the nation's largest city shut down Tuesday morning as transit workers walked off the job, stranding more than 7 million daily riders and threatening the city with a $400 million a day financial hit.
About eight hours after the 3 a.m. strike, a closed-door meeting was under way at a Brooklyn courthouse regarding the walkout. No details were available, but City Corporation Counsel Michael Cardozo was among those at the session with state Supreme Court Justice Theodore Jones.
Across the river in Manhattan, commuters were angered by the disruption that turned a typical work day into a test of wills.
"It doesn't seem right to tie up the cultural and investment center of the world," said Larry Scarinzi, 72, a retired engineer from Whippany, N.J., waiting for a cab outside Penn Station. "They're breaking the law. They're tearing the heart out of the nation's economy."
Authorities began locking turnstiles and shuttering subway entrances shortly after the Transport Workers Union ordered the strike, and commuters struggled through a rush hour filled with disorder. At one subway booth, a handwritten sign read, "Strike in Effect. Station Closed. Happy Holidays!!!!"
The city survived the morning rush without the anticipated gridlock and widespread chaos as many commuters adapted to the absence of mass transit -- some by just staying home. Traffic at the Lincoln and Holland tunnels was about half of the usual volume, and Manhattan streets were unusually quiet.
Commuters, scrounging for ways to get to work, lined up for cabs outside Penn Station and gathered in clusters on designated spots throughout the city for company vans and buses to shuttle them to their offices. There were carpools, and bicyclists, and hundreds of people trudging across the Brooklyn Bridge -- including Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The weather, with temperatures in the low 20s, added to their woes.
Yvette Vigo, a Citibank employee, was waiting for a company-run shuttle bus that would bring her from Wall Street to 42nd Street. Her teeth were chattering despite a hooded parka and gloves.
"I'm not happy about this," said Vigo, who had walked a couple of miles downtown from her home on the Lower East Side. "It's too cold to walk this far."
Kathy Ko took a water taxi from Fort Lee, N.J., to lower Manhattan rather than her usual bus and subway ride. "It's just a mess," she said. "Absolutely a mess."
At Penn Station, hundreds of people waited for cabs. Driver Angel Aponte said frantic riders were "pulling doors left and right. I had to make four stops." The cost: $10 per person, rather than the usual metered ride.
At Grand Central Terminal, riders were trying to figure out what trains were going where. "Throw that away," one police officer told a tourist clutching a subway map.
The city instituted a sweeping emergency plan to reduce gridlock and keep certain streets open for emergency vehicles. "It will be difficult, but people are following our rules," the mayor said on the bridge. City schools opened two hours late, and city police were dispatched to guard subway stations abandoned by the workers.
Huge lines formed at ticket booths for the commuter railroads that stayed in operation, and traffic backed up for up to six miles at bridges and tunnels leading into Manhattan as police inspected cars to make sure they followed a four-passenger minimum rule in effect at most crossings.
All the while, transit workers took to the picket lines with signs that read "We Move NY. Respect Us!" as they forced the 24-hour-a-day bus and subway system to shut down. The nation's largest mass transit system counts each fare as a rider, giving it more than 7 million riders each day -- although many customers take a daily round trip.
The union and Metropolitan Transportation Authority had worked furiously to reach a new contract, hoping to avoid the first citywide transit strike since an 11-day walkout in 1980. It is illegal for mass transit workers to strike in New York, which means the 33,000 bus and subway employees will incur huge fines -- two days pay for each day on strike.
The union called the strike after a late round of negotiations broke down Monday night.
"This is a fmOhZt,bxs3/4, the head of the MTA -- and commuters.
MTA Chairman Peter Kalikow called the strike "a slap in the face" to all New Yorkers, and a court hearing was scheduled for Tuesday morning as authorities sought a legal remedy to end the strike.
Bloomberg called the walkout "a cowardly attempt by Roger Toussaint and the TWU to bring the city to its knees to create leverage for their own bargaining position."
"I think they all should get fired," said Eddie Goncalves, a doorman trying to get home to Queens after working an overnight shift. Goncalves said he was expecting to spend an extra $30 per day in cab and train fares.
Bloomberg has said the walkout could cost the city as much as $400 million a day, and would be particularly harsh at the height of the holiday shopping and tourist season. He said a strike would freeze traffic into "gridlock that will tie the record for all gridlocks."
"They have broken the trust of the people of New York," Gov. George Pataki said. "They have not only endangered our city and state's economy, but they are also recklessly endangering the health and safety of each and every New Yorkr."
MTA spokesman Tom Kelly said the agency "put a fair offer" on the table before talks broke down. "Unfortunately, that offer has been rejected."
The union said the latest MTA offer included annual raises of 3 percent, 4 percent and 3.5 percent; the previous proposal included 3 percent raises each year. Pension issues were another major sticking point in the talks, particularly involving new employees.
But Toussaint said the union wanted a better offer from the MTA, especially when the agency has a $1 billion surplus this year.
The down-to-the-wire negotiations came as workers at two private bus lines in Queens walked off the job, a move meant to step up pressure on the MTA.
The contract expired Friday at midnight, but the two sides agreed to keep talking through the weekend and the union set a new deadline for Tuesday.

Bitter in the Mouth: How a Mockingbird Gave Birth to a Little Canary
"An' they chased him 'n' never could catch him 'cause they didn't know what he looked like, an' Atticus, when they finally saw him ... he was real nice...." His hands were under my chin, pulling up the cover, tucking it around me."Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them."
For Scout, "him" is a reference to a character in The Gray Ghost, a favorite book of Scout and her brother Jem, which Atticus is reading to ease her into sleep. For us, "him" is also Boo Radley, the sequestered subject of the Finch siblings' childhood curiosities and fears who had emerged to save them from the very real evils that inhabit their town. "Him," in addition, could be a myriad of characters in To Kill a Mockingbird who are occluded by hearsay, lies, illness, poverty, racial prejudice, or plain old ignorance. The blinders are so many, and Scout is just beginning to recognize them as the novel ends.
When I first read To Kill a Mockingbird, I was 11 years old, a little older than Scout and not as old Jem. I don't think I read the book for a school assignment. I was a voracious reader and probably picked it out on my own from the library. My family was living in Centerville, Ohio, by then. I can still remember my father boasting to my mother that our new, solidly middle-class neighborhood was once home to Erma Bombeck and Phil Donahue. What my father meant was look how far we've come! And we really had.

The San Joaquin River is one of two California streams designated by the federal government to become a blueway – a boating trail to camping, fishing, bird-watching and other kinds of recreation.
A U.S. Interior Department report names the San Joaquin and the Los Angeles River in Southern California as blueway sites. The department says it will help the regions link wildlife refuges, parks and other public recreation spots on the river.
An announcement about the blueway designation is expected Thursday from the San Joaquin River Partnership, 13 groups and agencies dedicated to restoring the river. The campaign is just beginning the planning stages.
"The San Joaquin River Blueway is about lifting up the region," said Dave Koehler, a long-time river restoration advocate and coordinator of the partnership. "The blueway will connect individuals and families to the Valley's rich natural and cultural heritage and creates recreation opportunity for healthier lives."
Interior is naming two rivers in each state this year for blueway status, giving local groups direct access to federal agencies and resources in planning. It is part of the America's Great Outdoors Initiative, a federal push to connect people with nature.
The National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will collaborate with San Joaquin River advocates.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation already is running a vast project to restore the San Joaquin as part of a 2006 settlement to a long-running lawsuit.
The blueway concept is a separate effort to extend and promote recreation over hundreds of river miles from Friant Dam to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

It's becoming clearer and clearer that Bobby Valentine will not return as Red Sox manager in 2013, despite being under contract for next year.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today writes that Valentine is likely a goner when the season's over:
Don't blame the Boston Red Sox mess on him. The manager wasn't the answer and really never had a chance. Just look at the 63-75 record.
And so Valentine will be fired virtually the moment the season ends Oct. 3.
Earlier this week there were rumors the Red Sox might be interested in bringing back former Boston pitching coach and current Blue Jays manager John Farrell to manage in 2013. But Nightengale mentions another man, someone else currently employed as a major-league manager:
If they can't pry away Farrell, who'll be the focus of attention at Fenway Park today as the Blue Jays open a three-game series there, look for the Red Sox to turn to Mike Scioscia if he is fired by the Los Angeles Angels.
If they can't get either, they'll be more likely to bring back Grady Little than keep Valentine.
Little, who hasn't managed in the majors since 2007, isn't likely coming back, but Nightengale's point is that neither is Valentine. If the Angels do make the playoffs and have a deep run, that could save Scioscia's job. With a new general manager in Anaheim, Scioscia no longer has the power he once did, and if the Angels flop this year with their expensive additions, Jerry Dipoto could opt for a change.

The Springfield Falcons are in the playoffs for the first time in a decade, and we now know which team they will face in the first round of the AHL post-season.
The second-seeded Falcons will square off with the seventh-seeded Manchester Monarchs.
It is definitely a match-up in Springfield's favor.
The Falcons posted four wins, one loss and a shootout loss against the Monarchs during the regular season.
Springfield's 45 total wins this season tied a franchise high.
Here is how the first round best-of-five series shapes up:
- Game one is next Saturday at 7 p.m. inside the Mass Mutual Center.
- Game two is next Sunday at 4 p.m., and it is also at the Mass Mutual Center.
- Game three will be played Thursday, May 2, in Manchester.
- Games four and five will take place the following weekend, if necessary.
- The fifth game will be back in Springfield, if necessary.
The team says tickets are still available for each of the playoff games.

The current race for president is a football game at half time with the score zero to zero. Both coaches are in the locker rooms trying to strategize and get their teams pumped for the third quarter.
The most recent strategy involved Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. The two republican hopefuls met for pizza on Tuesday in New York's Times Square. (Wouldn't you love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation?!) I would bet a dollar that the two conspired to eclipse Mitt Romney's announcement today in New Hampshire that he's officially putting his name in the hat for president.
Palin threw an impromptu clam bake for Tea Party activists not far from Romney's gathering. "It's coincidental that we are in the same territory at the same time, but more power to Mitt as he mounts his campaign and best of luck to him," commented Palin. Can we put that down as just dumb luck for Palin? The media was clearly more interested in Palin's clam bake.
New Hampshire was certainly crowded today. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was also there talking at a luncheon for Republicans in Mount Washington Valley, N.H. Giuliani is considering a second try for president. Giuliani is attempting to right the mistake he made of ignoring New Hampshire in 2008.
Both Palin and Giuliani pounced on Romney's health care plan. "The reality is that Obamacare and Romneycare are almost exactly the same. It's not very helpful trying to distinguish them. I would think the best way to handle it is to say, it was a terrible mistake and if I could do it over again, I wouldn't do it,'' said Giuliani.
Up next is the wait for other republican hopefuls to make 'official announcements.' Michelle Bachmann (Rep-Min) and Newt Gingrich are likely to make decisions soonwill Palin throw them under the bus too?

Palin's only purpose in life, it seems, is to make money, and she does it because there are so many "conservatives" out there who blindly follow her (dumb and dumber?)
This "bid" for president is Palin's way to make more money, and it will ensure an Obama second term.
Too bad the tea party is made up of so many uneducated folks. Educated people would not support Palin, and the so called "conservatives" criticize everything but condone teen pregnancy (yeah, the Palin daughter is also making tons of money thanks to her idea of "abstinence")

Palin heading any ticket would be fine with me. The question is which Republican candidate has the courage to eliminate medicare, social security, public education, public libraries, public roads and all the other government programs that cater to entitlement groups. All the Demonocrats are monsters and socialists and they mean to do you harm.
p.s. Don't Tread on ME!!!

Sarah is so funny. Her supporters forget that she was for the government bank and auto company bailouts!! Some tea party candidate! Their love is blind. Here's some classic Palin for you.

Hundreds of state employees discovered that no matter how long they've already been on the job, the job qualifications for what they do are changing. And if they don't change, their jobs might be on the line.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation is now going to require all of its 1,700 maintenance workers to have a high school diploma or GED. It's not just a requirement for new hires. The department is requiring current workers to get their GED as well.
TDOT says the reason is simple. It wants to put together a more cost-effective, smarter and more efficient work force on state highways.
But others say this is unnecessarily picking on hard-working people who should not be punished for not finishing their high school education.
"We are very understanding of that, and certainly we are not trying to get rid of anybody. What we've put in place is a two-year time frame to where we're bringing resources in to work with these employees," said TDOT Chief Engineer Paul Degges. "In two years, if you do nothing and make no effort, then that could be a result."
TDOT is paying for GED training and adds many workers are thankful who say they've always wanted a GED and feel better about themselves now.
Still, some see this as unnecessary. Several TDOT workers have called Channel 4 News upset that they've been able to work, in some cases, for 20 years without a diploma.Tennessee State AFL-CIO President Gary Moore believes this is all unnecessary and plain wrong.
"If they've had a good evaluation, then I can see no reason why a GED would make a difference in job performance. So I would question why they are doing it," he said.
TDOT says the motive is customer service, higher starting salaries and being able to employ promotable people.
"I really believe that in this age we need people with some minimal proficiency in computer skills and being able to understand how things go together, so I think raising the skillset of our entry-level employees is an appropriate thing," Degges said.
TDOT says right now it has 230 maintenance workers on staff who are without GEDs. Opponents of the policy change say there should always be work for hard-working, honest, uneducated people and manual labor has always been one of those options.

Notes: McCarthy learns from legend
Right-hander taking notes from Rangers president Ryan
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers president Nolan Ryan stopped by Brandon McCarthy's bullpen session on Tuesday to tutor him on his curveball.McCarthy acknowledged it felt weird. "It's Nolan Ryan trying to teach you how to throw a curveball," McCarthy said. That's [like] Tiger Woods going up to someone on the range and trying to teach you how to hit your wedge shot. It's definitely a cool experience. It's also a lot of advice that I can really take to heart and work on. "We're working on snapping that curveball harder and getting it so where it's not so easy to pick up out of my hand. He was working with me on that." Did Hall of Famer Ryan instruct McCarthy on how to throw a 100-mph fastball, which helped make him the all-time strikeout leader? "I don't know if that's one you can teach," McCarthy said. "If he's got that advice somewhere, I'd love to hear that." A tender right elbow has kept McCarthy out of early Spring Training games, but he said "everything felt great" after throwing. He is scheduled to start on Friday against the Brewers. "I threw a lot of curveballs and threw them hard and it felt fine," he said. Millwood to throw: Kevin Millwood, who is penciled in as the Rangers Opening Day starter, is scheduled to throw a two-inning simulated game on Wednesday. Millwood, who has been sidelined with a sore hamstring, will pitch, but not field his position. Millwood said he is not sure how his sore hamstring would feel when he has to retrieve bunts or cover first base. "I haven't tried it," he said. "It feels better, but there are still certain things I do when I feel it, when there's an ache." John Mayberry Jr., Julio Borbon, German Duran, Brandon Boggs and Max Ramirez will hit off Milwood. The Rangers are hopeful Millwood could start on Monday against the Padres. Pitchers struggle early: Kason Gabbard and Kameron Loe, the first two Rangers pitchers to face the D-backs on Tuesday, combined to give up nine runs, eight earned, on nine hits, three of them home runs, two walks and a hit batter in the 9-3 loss. Gabbard yielded four runs on four hits, including a two-run Justin Upton homer, in the first inning. He was removed after Mark Reynolds singled to lead off the third. "It wasn't my day," Gabbard said. "I thought I made some good pitches and some of the balls fell in. I think one of the only bad pitches I made was to Upton, but it was a 2-0 [count] and I was trying to challenge him. Its Spring Training and we're working on stuff. Obviously, you want to go out there and do your best, but it's baseball."

FGCU Picked Fourth, Platt Earns Preseason Honors
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU softball team was selected fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference preseason coaches' poll, the league announced Thursday. Lipscomb earned top billing, edging out USC Upstate and Kennesaw State. Senior outfielder Courtney Platt (Naples, Fla./Gulf Coast) represented the Eagles on the preseason All-Conference team.
"I am actually pleasantly surprised that the coaches in our conference ranked us so high. We are probably the least experienced group with 15 of our 20 players being underclassmen," said head coach David Deiros. "The A-Sun is one of the better softball conferences in the country as evidenced by our RPI rank of 11 out of 29 last season. We look forward to the challenge of trying to meet and exceed these expectations."
Platt received a nod to the preseason All-Conference team after posting a .311 average in 2010. The Naples, Fla., product finished with 31 RBI, 83 total bases and 42 hits. Platt also notched with a .615 slugging percentage, a .475 on-base percentage, 40 walks, 12 doubles, nine homers and 31 runs scored, which were all top-10 in the conference.
"Congratulations to Courtney—the recognition is well-deserved," said Deiros. "I think she is one of the best outfielders and hitters in the country. She is going to have a great senior season."
Sophomores Mariah Fernandez (Cape Coral, Fla./North Fort Myers) and Tiffani Upchurch (Lake Wales, Fla./Lake Wales) who were named to the All-Freshmen Team last season, join Platt as the top returners for FGCU. The duo started every game and combined to hit nine home runs with 47 RBI. Senior Catherine McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla./Florida Tech) returns to the circle as the top pitcher and has a 2.49 career ERA, which is good for fourth in the FGCU record book.
Like it has in each of its first three seasons in Division I, FGCU opens its season on the road at a USF-hosted tournament in Tampa, Fla. The Eagles play a five-game stint from Feb. 11-13 and will face N.C. State (Feb. 11), No. 5 Florida (Feb. 11), Marshall (Feb. 12), USF (Feb. 12) and Long Island (Feb. 13) during the three-day span.

Explore the social impacts of climate change through the political economy of food, water, and energy in some of the world's most productive and vulnerable landscapes.
This newly launched study abroad program examines the interconnections between the economics, politics, geography, and science of climate change and its effects on human society. The program takes place in the US, Vietnam, Morocco, and Bolivia.
Students will learn about the varied impacts of climate change — extreme weather, desertification, ocean acidification, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and dangerous social upheavals — and will be encouraged to think seriously about realistic solutions.
Examine the concepts of adaptation and mitigation.
The program focuses on two key concepts that involve physical and technological changes as well as social and political transformations:
- Adaptation. Adaptation refers to how human civilization will adjust to the dramatic environmental changes that are inevitable and already underway.
- Mitigation. Mitigation refers to the steps humans are taking in industry and agriculture to reduce their impact on the environment.
Engage policymakers, scientists, business people, farmers, climate refugees, and others
Students will meet with high-level policymakers and powerful business people involved in the food, energy, mining, transportation, and financial sectors. They will also meet with rural and urban working class people struggling to cope, such as farmers, fishermen, and climate refugees. They will examine the basic science of climate systems through regular engagement with scientists and researchers.
Analyze and contrast climate change across the globe.
Through the program's comparative approach, students will track how a single global crisis plays out differently in distinct places and will compare and evaluate economic and policy responses at the local, national, and international scales. The program will assist students in assessing their own cultural assumptions and in understanding people from different cultures.
Key Questions:
- How is climate change impacting regions differently? How are people adapting to these changes?
- What are the appropriate roles of government, business, social movements, and individuals in addressing this multifaceted crisis?
- Which technologies and traditional forms of local knowledge can realistically meet humanity's need for energy in a sustainable way?
- What are the economic interests and institutional arrangements that prevent us from more effectively addressing the climate crisis?
|The Letters Home are written by students on this program, with help from the Trustees Fellow, at the end of each country program. Letters from the current academic year can be found at the Letters Home blog. We hope you enjoy reading about our students' experiences!

Turkey Dressing Pie Recipe
People tell me this pie is almost better than the original dinner! I fix turkey all year long, and I purposely make too much just so we can have this later on. It's a complete meal in itself. My sister and I took turns cooking when we were in high school...my husband and I have four grown sons...and I used to cook for pheasant hunters we took in. So I've had lots of practice!
- 3-1/2 to 4 cups leftover cooked turkey dressing
- 1/2 cup turkey or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 cups diced leftover cooked turkey
- 1 cup leftover turkey gravy
- 1 cup peas, optional
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 2 tablespoons diced pimientos
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 slices process American cheese, optional
- In a large bowl, combine dressing, broth, butter and egg. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 10-in. pie plate; set aside.
- In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in turkey, gravy, peas if desired, parsley, pimientos, Worcestershire sauce and thyme; heat through. Pour over crust.
- Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden. If desired, arrange cheese slices on top; bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.

Questions about the structural integrity field
I've always found the Enterprise A to be the most beautiful Enterprise of all time, such a graceful and sexy design. It was the only starship in which it looked great at every angle. However, one of the things that bothered me about it was its neck section and the warp pylon struts, they were way too thin and frail. Just by looking at those sections I could nearly see them snap off like twigs. In TWoK, the Reliant fired on the Enterprise's neck section and it was a miracle that it didn't break apart. Realistically, it should have broken off.
1. Is this where the structural integrity field comes in?
2. Also, what would happen if the starship Enterprise traveled at maximum impulse speed without the structural integrity field? Would the neck and warp pylon struts snap off?
Have you ever remembered what life was like before you were born? That's how it will be like after you're dead.
According to Memory Alpha
The structural integrity field (abbreviated SIF) is a technology developed by spacefaring cultures to supplement the natural structural integrity of the material their starship hulls or other constructions are composed of. Engineers use a structural integrity force field to supplement the supports and bulkheads that give a piece of architecture its shape. This technology was made necessary by the fantastic stresses and probability of a hull breach presented by warp fields and spatial phenomena present in the galaxy.
The field strength is usually measured in percentages. A structural integrity reading of 100% means that the field is accepting a maximum load of the stresses presented to the structure, and that all physical architecture is safe from that stress. As the percentage approaches zero, this means that more and more of the stress of weapons, gravity and other phenomena is being experienced by the hull itself rather than the force field. As the hull becomes damaged or breaches, the SIF becomes less effective as the hull it was designed to hold together starts to disintegrate.
If we go by this information then it would seem that the SIF's primary function is to reinforce the ships hull durring the extreme presures put upon it by warp travel and various spaceborne phenomena. In all probability it is also active durring impulse flight but that doesn't necessarily mean that a ship without an active SIF would break apart going at full impulse.
Remember that 23'd and 24th century Starship hulls are made up of materials that we can't even conceive of. Perhaps the tensile strength of the alloys used in the Enterprise A allows the engine pylons and struts to be of a thinness which by our modern material standards would seem precarious but which is perfectly acceptable in the 23d century.
A perfect example of this can be seen in Star Trek IV when Scotty divulges the secret of Transparent Aluminum which can perform the job of a six inch thick piece of plexiglass but be only one inch thick.
Given that such advancements have probably made the construction of many things much lighter and yet sturdier (somewhat like the evolution of our own skyscrapers) The appearance of a frail engine strut may actually belie it's true hardiness.
Mom, how many times do I have to tell you, Track is what athletes run on. Trek is what the Enterprise goes on.

Southport Elementary School kids had the opportunity to show their artistic skills with Chalk.
Over four hundred different chalk arts on display, each piece was created by children from 1st through 5th grade. They had just 45 minutes to create a drawing.
Southport Elementary art teacher Kelly Halley stresses the importance of art.
"Art is important for everyone because it allows all the kids to express them selves through creativity and to show what art means to them and they can express them self in ways the we don't see normal in every day life, says Halley.
Halley went on to say art is also a way for young pupils to express themselves.

Third-time delegate Rep. Mark Pocan says state Democrats are already "pretty popular" when they head out of state because of the coverage of Wisconsin's political conflict.It's the first convention for 22-year-old Evan Giesemann. He tells the State Journal (http://tinyurl.com/8t6kx7j ) he hopes the gathering will give him the energy to come back to Wisconsin and rally the troops for November.Wisconsin's most high-profile speaker at the convention is U.S. Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
3.5 stars. I liked the story, but I found that while some of the pictures seemed to fit in with the flow of the storyline, others just seemed thrown in randomly. They were talked about, but some were talked about as pictures and others just seemed to be put in as the scene passed through.
This book can be predictable, but the photos and visuals make the story larger than life. Well-written, and the style is never boring. I actually couldn't put the book down at times, and read the book until I fell asleep some nights.
I did not enjoy this book as much as many have, but I do see where the praise is coming from. To say that this is a very different kind of story is an understatement. If I needed to compare it to something, I'd say it bears the greatest resemblance to the X-Men, with more of a fantasy aspect to it as well. I am trying to avoid giving anything important away, so I'm not going to get into specifics. Yet, the way in which the author was able to collect a series of strange old photographs and create a story to go with them was rather interesting and creative, while adding a fun new element to the story that I certainly have not encountered in quite this way before. Overall, it's far from the best book I've read in the genre, but it's definitely one of those that many are talking about for a legitimate reason, and as such is well worth at least giving it a shot.
I really enjoyed " Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children". I loved how the photographs were so central to the story, it really brought the book together. The only compliant I have is that the story ended up being really predictable and I knew how it would end but I still could not put it down. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.
Loved this book. Loved the pictures. Especially once I found out that they were real found photos. The concept is amazing and I truly enjoyed the story.
The author's ability to use the photos to play with the reader's imagination, while still holding the tension of the plot, is extraordinary. This kind of device can feel like a self-conscious reminder of the authorial hand, but this is not the case in Miss Peregrine's Home.
In Miss Peregrine's, a teenager decides to investigate the stories his grandfather told him about an island off the coast of Wales. He finds more than he bargained for, of course, and there are adventures, involving a group of kids with remarkable abilities which are almost, but not quite, entirely similar to mutants from X-Men comics. For a story constructed to make use of a collection of vintage snapshots, it's impressively cohesive, and there's certainly nothing wrong with yet another recounting of the hero's journey from callow youth to manhood. But the book never lives up to its own aesthetic, and the story refuses to get past surface level on the occasional odd idea or intriguing concept. Whatever its faults, Miss Peregrine's only true sin is that, presentation aside, it isn't really that peculiar.
Those Creepy Pictures Explained
The idea for Miss Peregrine's Home popped into Ransom Riggs' head when he ran across some sinister-looking vintage photos, which ''suggest stories even though you don't know who the people are or exactly when they were taken.'' As he began writing, he kept searching for images, even combing swap meets and flea markets. ''I was developing the story as I was finding the photos. I'd find a particularly evocative photo and I'd say, 'I need to work this in somehow.' '' Most are reproduced in the novel ''as is,'' but a few have been digitally altered. Riggs says he ended up with more photos than he could use: ''I have a nice big fat backlog for the second book.'' — Keith Staskiewicz
With its X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, it's no wonder Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children has been snapped up by Twentieth Century Fox. This is a novel with ''movie adaptation'' written into its powerful DNA. B+
