The Vikings get one last shot against the Yellow Jackets on Thursday as area volleyball tournaments open across the state.
Both teams compete in the Class 5A, Area 12 Tournament at Curry High School.
The Yellow Jackets, the No. 1 seed, takes on No. 4 seed Hayden while No. 2 Walker faces No. 3 Mortimer Jordan. Both matches are at 4:30 p.m.
The championship match is set for 6 p.m.
The top two teams from each area tournament advance to the Super Regional Tournament, with teams in areas 1 through 8 heading to Montgomery and teams in areas 9 through 16 playing in Huntsville. From there, the top four teams at each regional tournament head to the Elite Eight State Tournament in Birmingham.
In the regular season, Curry took a pair of matches from Walker, winning in straight sets at Curry and winning in four sets at Walker's Songer Gym. In the last meeting, the Vikings won the opening set before the Jackets rallied for the win.
"The last time we played they seemed more confident," Curry coach Annah Cagle said. "They gave us good competition."
Curry comes into the area tournament ranked No. 5 in Class 5A.
The Yellow Jackets (45-11 overall, 6-0 in area play) closed out the regular season with a straight set win over Gardendale on Tuesday.
The Yellow Jackets are after a second straight trip to the State Volleyball Tournament. Curry finished tied for fifth last season.
Curry has plenty of playoff experience, led by seniors: Jessica Bagwell, Chloe Bennett, Kendall Chance, Bretta Lane, Payton Norris and Mary Beth Scott.
"When the season started, I didn't know what to expect," said Cagle, who is in her first year as head coach.
"As we started playing, the girls gelled together. They refused to lose. As far as the area tournament goes, our goal is to come in first and make it back to state."
Five teams in the Daily Mountain Eagle's coverage area are hosting area tournaments this week: Addison, Lynn, Winston County, Carbon Hill and Curry.
Carbon Hill hosts the 4A, Area 8 Tournament.
Dora takes on Corner in the opener at 10:30 a.m. while Carbon Hill faces Oak Grove at noon. The championship match is at 1:30 p.m.
At Addison, the top-ranked Bulldogs begin their quest for a sixth state championship on Thursday. Addison takes on St. Bernard at 4:30 p.m. to open the 1A, Area 11 Tournament. Meek faces Falkville at 5:45 p.m. and the championship match is set for 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs won 1A state titles in 2003-05 and 2010 and also picked up a 2A state title in 2009. Addison also finished as state runner up in 2006, 2008 and 2011.
Lynn hosts the 1A, Area 10 Tournament on Thursday.
The third-ranked Bears face Sumiton Christian at 2 p.m. while Parrish plays Brilliant at 3:30 p.m. The championship match is set for 5 p.m.
Oakman plays in the 2A, Area 11 Tournament at Cold Springs. The Wildcats take on Sulligent at 5:30 p.m. with the championship match set for 7 p.m.

Back to school is in full swing.
At Williston State College, the students are not the only 'new faces' on campus.
The new front drive, curriculum and a near future face lift for Stevens Hall are all in the works.
(Dr. Raymond Nadolny, Williston State College President) "There's a lot of exciting activities, but it's all very new, it's all very challenging, but it's all very wonderful."
The public school system surrounding WSC is populating quickly, Nadolny sites the 350 first graders in Williston as an example.
(Dr. Raymond Nadolny, Williston State College President) "There's a lot of numbers. There's a lot pipeline coming up and there's a lot of people that we're currently serving today. I don't know what to say except that we feel privileged."
With eyes and ears in the field, renovations on campus keep pace with the current enrollment growth, and prepare for prosperous years ahead.
The most visible renovation: the front drive project.
(Travis Rohrer, WSC Director of Facilities) "This will be a new thing for the community. We're hoping to draw some more people in from the outside for outdoor entertainment and just to enjoy what we're offering to the public."
Additional people and additional open spaces means additional security.
IT Director Angie March says the security system in mind for WSC could cost more than $600,000, an expense that qualifies for oil impact money.
(Angie March, WSC Director for Information Technology) "We have a lot more people on campus that you don't always recognize and you're not always sure if they're students or workers. Just to make people feel safe."
The IT department is also busy preparing for the 2014 Stevens Hall renovation.
(James Foertsch, WSC VP Business Services) "The renovation project of Stevens Hall is our biggest challenge. It's a $12 million dollar project that's been authorized by the state legislature."
The design phase has been attentive to updating the infrastructure in the half-century old building that will lead to energy efficiency and cost savings.
In a less than one-percent unemployment area, Dr. Nadolny says there are people exploring different opportunities that are not always traditional school models, which makes it difficult to measure the use of WSC's facilities.
(Dr. Raymond Nadolny, Williston State College President) "Williston State College is a community resource. We are state funded. We are a state resource. The opportunity to provide this resource for all the exciting things taking place is extraordinary. Whether its my IT person going out into the district to solve some IT problems, whether it's meeting the Department of Motor Vehicles need for a DMV site, whether it's providing housing not just for our staff but for state and essential services, I think that's our role. I think we need to be measured by how much we're doing for the community and I think we're doing that in an extraordinary way."
In Williston, Jennifer Thorgramson, KX News.
Dr. Nadolny says the TrainND program on the Williston State College campus is a good measurement of growth: three years ago, 3,000 people went through the TrainND program.
Last year, 10,000 people were trained.
Minot Police say Zofia Kristal Pepple of New Town was struck by a pickup and killed about 6:25pm Sunday
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot Sunday evening.
They ask if you have any information about the incident that you contact them at 852-0111.
In addition, both had recently been released from state prison.

It was Halloween Night 1988 when 14-year-old Orlando Antigua decided to play it safe, skip the trick-or-treating and just play basketball.
The playground in the Bronx where Antigua honed his skills provided a path for him to reach his dream if he could avoid the violence that permeated those hardtops.
On this night, he couldn't, and Antigua was shot in the head.
"Someone thought I threw an egg at them," he says.
The slug remained lodged in Antigua's head for six years, but he continued to play basketball and earned a scholarship to Pittsburgh.
"I had headaches, but you don't let that stop you," he says. "The doctors said it would eventually come out naturally, and it did through my ear."
When Antigua proposed to his girlfriend, she told him no, but he wouldn't give up. They've been married for 20-plus years.
He signed with the Harlem Globetrotters in 1995, becoming the first Hispanic and first non-black to play for the team in 52 years.
He was hired as USF's head men's basketball coach only after it was revealed the person the school initially chose lied about graduating from college.
Antigua is a 6-foot-7 basketball player who can shoot the three.
He defies the odds. That's why the USF basketball program may finally have found the answer to its problems.
"We all face obstacles in our lives and we have the power to choose how we deal with them. Do we use it as an excuse or a springboard to get where you want to go and chase your dreams?" he said last week during a visit to Bradenton and Sarasota as part of the USF coaches tour.
Antigua has been given a challenge that his previous three predecessors failed, beginning with Seth Greenberg, who called the USF men's basketball program a sleeping giant.
He couldn't wake it up and his successor Robert McCullum made the program comatose. Stan Heath delivered a wake-up call, but got fired before he could make breakfast.
Now it's Antigua's turn, and there is something about this guy that makes you feel this sleeping giant is about to raise the Sun Dome roof.
He has boundless energy and worked under John Calipari at Kentucky from 2009 through 2014 before taking the USF job during the NCAA Final Four.
Antigua is considered a rising star and has been recognized as one of the top basketball recruiters in the country.
But that was at Kentucky. Now he is at USF.
They don't recruit the same type of player.
Antigua is nobody's fool, but says don't let the difference between these programs fool you.
"It's all about the process," Antigua says. "Every program has its own separate challenges and we will adjust to ours. I've had challenges in my life. The power is in how you perceive them.
They can be opportunities or challenges that hinder you. I see USF as an opportunity to do what people say can't be done; and that sounds like my whole career."
You have to like Antigua's moxy and the timing couldn't be better. McCullum and Heath coached the Bulls in the Big East when it was the country's most powerful conference.
USF now resides in the American Athletic Conference where the behemoths are limited to Connecticut and maybe Memphis though SMU under Larry Brown is making noise.
USF's basketball facilities are the best they've ever been, and you can't dismiss Antigua's Calipari connection. Not every player can play for the Wildcats, and why wouldn't Calipari steer a few of them to Antigua?
"We've got to recruit kids we can try to get, and we have to develop them. That will lead us to recruiting those All-Americans," Antigua said. "We start by recruiting quality athletes who want to play our style (up-tempo). Winning gets people to come out. We will worry about the results when they happen. It starts by chipping away at the rock."

The physical weakening of cancer-ridden Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez is leading his potential heirs to maneuver for the reins, in a delicate game played behind the scenes that pits the interests of Cuba against those of Chavist military brass and those of the so-called bolibourgeois.
Even though apparently solid, Chavism seems to be unraveling, said analysts who pointed to the confrontation between the side led by Vice President and Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro annointed as heir by Chávez himself and the side led by the current chairman of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello.
According to analysts consulted by El Nuevo Herald, Maduro represents the Chavist sector that is ideologically aligned with the interests of Cuba, while Cabello heads the segment of nationalist military officers.
And it is precisely within the National Assembly, the body that has to choose its new chairman on Saturday, where the parties seem destined to fight the first great skirmish that could define the future of the transition, within the framework of Maduros efforts to wrest from Cabello the leadership of the legislative power.
The problem now begins among themselves, said political advisor Esteban Gerbasi. It is a very delicate situation.
According to the Venezuelan Constitution, the chairman of the National Assembly must assume the presidency of the republic after Jan. 10, if Chávez is declared to be totally absent before being sworn in.
The situation would be different if Chávez is sworn in. In that case, Maduro could be ratified as president and would become interim president until new elections are held. New elections would have to be held in a short time, same as if Cabello assumed the presidency, Gerbasi said.
So far, the Venezuelan government has maintained silence over Chávezs ability to assume the presidency next week, saying little about his health condition except that it is stable.
Those bare pronouncements were repeated Wednesday by Minister of Science and Technology Jorge Arreaza, who is Chávezs son-in-law.
The medical team explained to us that President Chávezs condition remains stable within his delicate picture, Arreaza wrote in his Twitter account.
Comandante Chávez continues to battle hard and sends all his love to our people. Perseverance and patience! he wrote in another publication.
Arreaza has been in Cuba with the presidents children since Chávez was operated on for a cancer whose location and extent are unknown.
But few Venezuelans think Chávez will travel to Caracas next week to be sworn in, leaving it possible that the swearing-in ceremony will be held in Cuba. That would not be seen kindly by Venezuelans.
Meanwhile, Venezuelans attention is beginning to focus on the election of the new leadership of the National Assembly, to be held Saturday at a session summoned by Cabello. Maduro is promoting the candidacy of deputy Blanca Eekhout.
Political analyst Martín Rodil said that Cabello is working hard to achieve the majority he needs among the 165 deputies in the National Assembly to remain in his post.
So far, Diosdado has written down in his favor the names of at least 33 Chavist deputies and is working to increased that number, contacting even some opposition deputies, Rodil said.
In that situation, the opposition could play a decisive role. The opposition deputies could define not only the future of the National Assembly but also who will lead the nation during the transition," he said.
Rodil explained that the internal struggle within Chavism is being waged by the wing led by Maduro, who is clearly the candidate of Cubas Castro brothers, and the wing led by Cabello, a sector constituted by nationalist elements who have amassed huge fortunes in the shade of Chavism.
Nicolás is the best puppet the Cubans can have, because not even Chávez was as willing to march by their side. Diosdado, in turn, is not there because of ideology. Hes there because of the money, Rodil said.
It is for that reason that Cabello is seen poorly by the regime in Cuba.
The Cubans are enormously afraid of Diosdado and his ambition. They went against him in 2008 precisely because they saw him as very ambitious. They couldnt control him because he was independent from Cuban influence, said Rodil, referring to the period when Cabello was separated from power by Chavism.
If Diosdado manages to retain his chairmanship in the Assembly and then goes on to the presidency of the republic, he will provoke a de-facto schism in Chavism. And thats the scenario that worries Havana the most, Rodil said.
Thats the reason behind the efforts to place Eekhout in the chairmanship of the Assembly, Rodil said. "She is a pawn for Havana."
Nevertheless, it will be very difficult to remove Cabello from the chairmanship of the Assembly, said analyst Vilma Petrash.
He is a very able individual, who appeared to be defenestrated within Chavism, but even when he was marginated and held no public post, he continued to build the party while strengthening his internal alliances. It was [Cabello] who practically built that political machine, Petrash said.
According to Petrash, Cabello also has accumulated enormous economic power, in addition to exercising great control over the ruling PSUV (United Socialist Party of Venezuela) and maintaining close ties within the National Armed Forces.
He belongs to a military sector that, without being monolithic, needs a figure like Diosdado, who is a nationalist officer but not a Marxist. Probably, [the army] will be the determining factor in Venezuela, Petrash said.

Another perfectly good neighbourhood bar converted into a dining pub, The King's Head - known as Grey Goose before its owners changed to Antic in 2011 - reverts happily to its former guise most nights of the week. Crowds at the bar down pints of Moretti, Amstel or Timothy Taylor Landlord or glasses of affordable house wine.
Food runs from mini bangers or lamb koftas through to seafood linguine or wild boar sausages with champ mash, best consumed on the wide front terrace – the bar interior is nondescript, but for an atrium near the back which comes into its own on sunny afternoons.

Good pub for a Sundaybdrink
I really like the kings head, they always have a really impressive ale selection, redemption...elb...hackey beers to name a few. I was informed by the friendly helpful bar staff that the kitchen is being built. There was a great atmosphere last Saturday, I think this pub is a hidden gem in Clapham yet to be discovered, great staff and great ale.
Used to have great food, great staff and great atmosphere as the Grey Goose. Now it is an avarage pub with avarage cold snack food.
the best pub in clapham for sure
Fantastic little pub with a friendly atmosphere. There was an excellent selection of real ale including Dark Star and Purity. Highly recommended!
This pub used to be called the Grey Goose, and it was the best spot in Clapham for long Sunday lunches. The roasts were awesome, the rest of the meals on offer were fine too, and all at a very affordable price. Now it's been taken over by a chain and – surprise, surprise – no more proper food, just "cheese and meat platters". Very disappointing. Won't go back again.

Lots of people grow daylilies, some of them seriously grow them, as do Earl and Barbara Watts.
"Well I guess I enjoy the beauty every morning when we go out and look at what's blooming today," said Barbara. "I enjoy the people who come by to look at the day lilies, the interaction with the organization that we have, the American Hemerocallis Society and the Hattiesburg Area Daylily Society. So many people say you come for the flower but you stay for the people."
Barbara Watts and husband Earl grow daylilies. Well, Earl is the one who's supposed to be the one who grows them.
"Well, I'm the support person," said Barbara. "He thinks I'm his secretary but I have to remind him that I'm not. But there's a lot of record keeping because all of our daylilies are registered with the American Hemerocallis Society."
Okay. That's the second time Barbara has dropped that name on us; American Hemerocallis Society. What is that?
"Hemerocallis. It means 'flower for a day,'" added Barbara.
And that is what a daylily is, and where it gets its name. Although there may be scads of blossoms every day for weeks in the garden, each individual bloom only lasts one day. That's it. But it's a long blooming season according to Earl.
"Oh they'll bloom on into the first of August," said Earl. "Some bloom in September. They start blooming in mid-April."
One of the varieties Earl Watts has developed, that he named Nancy Gail, is a re-bloomer. Some varieties just put on blooms once and that's it. But re-bloomers produce all season long.
"Like Nancy Gail will send up five or six scapes on a plant," added Earl.
But no matter how many scapes, or stalks of blooms they send up, and for how long during the growing season, still, each blossom lasts only one day. But that makes for an entirely different flowerbed every morning for folks like Earl and Barbara Watts who grow daylilies.

It looks like they have a good time down there, and a trip like this is amazingly inexpensive if you do it right. Way less than driving and all the time and gas etc.

Ease of Use
After taking Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo for many years I decided to switch to something that would cost me less per month. That was a bad idea. The only good thing about this drug is that my periods have completely stopped. However, I now have terrible mood swings, low sex drive and acne for the first time in my life. Not something I wanted at 31. I've been on it for almost five months with sympt ... Show Full Comment

Overall I didn't feel myself I've been on Microgestin for less than a month and it has been terrible!

The Herald
Many of us were saddened recently by the tragic story of the puppy Callahan, who drowned in the Shenango River Lake after falling through thin ice.
Despite efforts to save the brave pup who battled valiantly, treading water for 45 minutes, his owner Tim Vesonder of Hermitage and would-be rescuers lacked the means to save him.
That's why it was inspiring to see a front page story in The Herald last Tuesday that outlined plans to acquire equipment to save not only animals, but people who might find themselves in the same situation as Callahan.
People have fallen through the ice in the lake before and there has been at least one death.
Since his puppy's demise about seven weeks ago, Vesonder has been actively meeting with emergency officials and determining what type of equipment is required for water rescues, especially in winter conditions.
He has had a series of meetings with John Kolodziejski, resource manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Vesonder's efforts have produced results. Representatives of at least six area fire departments are working to create a water rescue team. The team would coordinate equipment and training.
But while the departments have firefighters who are willing to participate, there is one main problem: Lack of proper equipment.
Because of that, Vesonder is working to create "The Callahan Fund." All donations to the fund would pay for equipment and training for responders for water rescues.
Besides the basics such as diving suits, throw bags with ropes and a life-saving ring, one of the goals is to buy a hovercraft, an expensive, but very important tool for rescue, especially in icy conditions.
Mark Hoffman, chief of the South Pymatuning Township Volunteer Fire Department, has been working with others to acquire equipment and said there have been donations already - including a pair of giant inflatable rafts from Nebulus Co.
Another company discounted a pair of cold water suits.
The fundraising continues and we applaud the efforts of Vesonder and officials who are working to improve safety at Shenango River Lake.
While the death of Callahan was certainly tragic, because of the efforts by this group, it won't be in vain.

by Chris Gasiewski
Her speech at the 1991 World Council of Churches, where she was accused of syncretism, put her in the international spotlight. And her notoriety spread throughout the globe.
Just a year later, Dr. Chung Hyun Kyung was teaching at Harvard University.
Everything seemed to be going smooth, except she felt a whirlwind of emotions internally. Her husband, who she loved so dearly, was a Marxist leader, and their conflicting views ultimately caused their separation and divorce.
She disguised her physical and mental anguish, making it almost invisible.
"I was madly in love with him," she said. "I was struggling in my personal life. I was really dying inside. My whole world cracked open and was breaking down.
"On the outside, it looked like I arrived. On the inside, I was in pain."
Dr. Chung suffered, a notion that she spoke of at length during "A Buddhist Perspective on Personal and Social Ethics" on March 29 at St. Joseph's Long Island Campus and April 5 in Brooklyn's Tuohy Hall Auditorium.
As the College's third Dr. Reza and Georgianna Clifford Khatib Chair in Comparative Religion, Dr. Chung's lecture focused primarily on practicing Buddhism despite her ties as a Korean-Christian theologian. It was the first time the chair focused on a religion other than Islam.
"We are fully Christians and we are fully Buddhists," said Dr. Chung, an associate professor of ecumenical studies at the Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York and an Asian-feminist theologian. "People ask, 'how is this possible?'"
That question has lingered since she began studying the practices of Zen Master Seung Sahn, founder of the Kwan Um School of Zen, which is known as the largest Zen institution in the West. Even more, she is consistently asking herself two questions she deems necessary to practice Buddhism: What am I? And how may I help you?
"If you answer these two questions, you get enlightened," she said. "It's something special if you know who you are."
Buddhists, Dr. Chung said, envision their lives as full of suffering, which she initially learned from Sueng Sahn.
"Whatever you are, whoever you are, you suffer," she said. And that practitioners face two separate and distinct types of distress.
"One is that you want something so badly, but you cannot have it. You suffer," she said. "It can be your dream job; dream house; dream vacation; dream child, whatever, but you cannot have that, you suffer.
"The second suffering is really a more serious suffering — you finally got it, but it's not good anymore. No matter what you do, you will be unsatisfied."
Perhaps, because suffering stems from what Dr. Chung called three poisons: greed, anger/hatred and ignorance. Each contributes to the pain, and each is so prevalent in today's society. "They are socially manifested in human history," she said.
So are a Buddhist's ideals. Dr. Chung said there are four main characteristics to which Buddhists live by, ranging from no sense of self, emptiness, karma theory and how everything is correlated.
"There is no separation between you and I," Dr. Chung said. "Because of you, I am here, and because of me, you are here.
"People think emptiness is loneliness. Nothing is permanent. Therefore, emptiness is what teaches us wisdom and freedom."
In all, Dr. Chung called Buddhism an open mind, and she said that practicing the religion brings peace, especially in troubled parts of the world, such as the Middle East.
"It's harmony with nature based on sustainability," she said.
Buddhism: Keeping an Open Mind

It is not often that a true crime story hits so close to home. But, in the new book, The Charmer: The True Story of Robert Reldan—Rapist, Murderer, and Millionaire—and the Women who Fell Victim to his Allure, residents will be taken through the true story that played out in Bergen County.
Reldan was convicted of raping and murdering two women in the 1970's, and is still serving a life sentence in the New Jersey State Prison. In The Charmer, authors Richard Muti and Charles Buckley, the prosecutor who got the conviction against Reldan, take readers through Reldan's criminal history, which they say he began at age 16.
"Reldan looked like the all-American boy," Muti said. "He was like the kid next door that you'd love to see your daughter go to prom with. Instead, he was actually a serial assaulter of women and a vicious killer. But, he had this ability to win people over."
That ability was not limited to women that he assaulted and later killed, Muti said. "This story is a lesson in the holes in our justice system. How, early on in his criminal career, he got a lot of free passes." Though Muti said he feels the criminal justice system is "more stringent" now than when Reldan was charming his way around it, "there is no question that something similar could happen today."
Muti, a Ramsey native and former mayor of Ramsey, released the following synopsis of the book, which is available in both print and electronic versions:
Serial rapist/murderer Robert Reldan—a handsome, personable charmer of the Ted Bundy mold—had an engaging, friendly smile—a smile that promised a charming personality and inspired trust. A smile that would, over the next 20 years, cause a dozen or more unsuspecting women to drop their guard and place themselves under the power of one of New Jersey's most ruthless criminals.
Two of those women—Susan Heynes, a nurse, and Susan Reeve, a recent college graduate—achieved unwanted fame as victims in what a prominent newspaper would call "the Susan strangulations." Both were abducted within days of each other—Heynes from her home in Haworth, NJ, and Reeve after getting off a commuter bus in Demarest, NJ. Their nude and battered bodies were soon discovered, also within days of each other, in Rockland County, NY, not far from the New Jersey border. Each had been strangled with her own pantyhose.
While in prison awaiting trial for the Susan murders, Reldan tried to hire a hit man to kill his wealthy aunt, from whom he hoped to inherit money to retain a top criminal defense attorney. A jailhouse snitch ratted on Reldan, and authorities were able to substitute an undercover cop as the putative hit man.
In an ironic twist of fate, Reldan, while serving life plus 30 years for the Heynes and Reeve murders, would become, briefly, the wealthiest lifer in the prison system. The aunt he'd tried to have killed—still charmed by her beloved nephew and never believing he'd plotted to murder her—left him an $8.9 million trust fund when she died in 2007. Arthur Reeve, father of victim Susan Reeve, would go after Reldan in the courts and, eventually, deprive him of his inheritance.
Muti, who has authored two other published books and numerous op-ed pieces in local and national newspapers, said he was "very interested" in researching this case when Buckley presented him with the idea of co-authoring a true crime book telling Reldan's story. "I was shocked that no one had written about this case before."
In preparation for the book, Muti said he interviewed those involved with the case, families of the victims, and poured through piles of court documents. "We worked on this for over three years," he said.
One thing he did not do in preparation was interview Reldan, who turns 72 this month. "Part of my research was reading his depositions. They were filled with his versions of convoluted facts," Muti said. "I knew that if I interviewed Reldan, he'd lie. And, I didn't want to publicize those lies."
Muti and Buckley are in the middle of a 10-stop local book tour. This Sunday, June 3, at 2 p.m., the duo will be at the , hosting a free discussion on The Charmer. Afterwards, the authors will host a question and answer session and a book signing.

The Panthers continue their quest to get the roster down to 53 players by releasing former 3rd round DT Sione Fua.
Fua was a huge disappointment after being drafted out of Stanford, accumulating just 22 tackles without a sack in his two years on the roster. After double-dipping at DT in the draft this past April with Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short, the Panthers just didn't have the room for an underperforming DT on the depth chart.
Now that Fua is no longer on the roster the sad realization that the Panthers' 2011 draft was a complete and utter disaster is realized, as 1st round (and #1 overall) pick Cam Newton is the only player remaining on the roster from that draft. Thankfully, he will be here for quite a while.
Stay tuned to CSR as we continue to update the Panthers' roster cuts.
Other cuts
The Panthers have also released the following players:
LB Doug Hogue
TE Zach Pianalto
OL Hayworth Hicks
WR Brenton Bersin
QB Jimmy Clausen
CB Drayton Florence

When you're in the hospital, sometimes there's nothing more therapeutic than a great big dose of canine affection.
The value of animals in promoting healing and growth is becoming increasingly recognized among professional care providers, clinical practitioners and educators.
Trained and registered animal/handler teams are used in medical, psychiatric, rehabilitation and special education facilities throughout the world to provide a medium for assisting individuals where traditional methods fall short.
Animal-assisted therapy is goal-oriented, documented and supervised by health-care professionals. What makes animal-assisted therapy unique is that animals, not humans, do the real work. Four-footed "therapists" have elicited nearly miraculous responses from deeply troubled or abused children, physically traumatized hospital patients and even those who are terminally ill.
The SPCA of Texas' Compassion Connection program brings Animal Assisted Activities and Animal Assisted Therapy to hospitals, nursing homes, retirement centers, rehabilitation centers and social service organizations in the Dallas and Collin County areas. This special program is designed to enhance the mental, physical and emotional well-being of the individuals that these organizations serve by affording them the opportunity to spend quality time with trained SPCA of Texas volunteers and their pets.
The SPCA of Texas provides various training levels and volunteer opportunities for our animal/handler teams. Pets such as birds and rabbits, as well as cats and dogs, are used in this program. The SPCA of Texas is a Pet Partners® (formerly Delta Society) Affiliate. The Pet Partners®, formally Delta Society, is a non-profit organization that brings individuals together who share a common passion - a love of animals and people. To learn more about therapy animals, you may visit the Pet Partners® website.

New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin returns to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., with an exciting thriller about a ghost ship and the President's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court just when a prominent justice resigns, leaving a vacancy.
Then, for no apparent reason, another justice is mysteriously attacked. Dana Cutlerone of the heroes from Margolin's bestselling Executive Privilegeis quietly called in to investigate. She looks for links between the Woodruff appeal and the ominous incidents in the justices' chambers, which eventually lead her to a shoot-out that took place years ago on a small freighter docked upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and illegal drugs. The only survivor on board? John Finley.
With the help of Brad Miller and Keith Evans, Dana uncovers a plot by a rogue element in the American intelligence community involving the president's nominee to the Supreme Court, and soon the trio is thrown back into the grips of a deadly, executive danger.
With nonstop action, Supreme Justice picks up where Executive Privilege left off, putting readers right back where they wereon the edge of their seats.
About the Author

Each displays a unique, compelling insider's view of criminal behavior, which comes from his long background as a criminal defense attorney who has handled thirty murder cases.
