ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- As one of the world's leading display manufacturers, Mitsubishi Electric is the first to take projection to the next level with its WD390U-EST projector: now content can be presented with no computer attached. Shown for the first time at the Florida Educational Technology Conference in Orlando, January 29-31, 2013 in Booth #1113, the Mitsubishi WD390U-EST cloud projector is poised to change the way users select a projector for their classrooms.
Called a "cloud projector," the Mitsubishi WD390U-EST uses its built-in, thin client function to serve as a dynamic display device. And because a computer isn't needed for new builds or technology upgrades, school districts and businesses adapting this new kind of projector can save money in these tough economic times.
Projector industry experts recognize the exceptional benefits this new technology offers: "By making it easy to get a document from your networked computer, server, smart phone, or other mobile device to the projection screen, the WD390U-EST provides PC-free projection that is both comprehensive and easy to use," said Bill Livolsi, Associate Editor, Projector Central.
Users simply log onto their network and begin displaying content in seconds, whether from a local server, the internet or the cloud, giving teachers and presenters access to files through the projector itself. As long as the new WD390U-EST extreme short throw projector is connected and logged on to a network, a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse, users can access content on a server, with such storage now referred to as "cloud content."
No-fuss projection also means teachers don't have to lug computers around, connect a computer to a projector and hope there are no technical issues, or carry presentation materials with them. School districts can store and distribute standardized teaching materials and content, and teachers can access these course materials in a snap, saving time for both teachers and IT professionals.
"Teachers have a unique set of issues when they present in the classroom and shouldn't have to worry about technical problems when uploading their lessons or run late because of technical difficulties," said Wayne Kozuki, product manager, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America, Inc. "Our new WD390U-EST solves all those problems by making it really easy -- teachers simply log on to the network, access their lessons and begin. This also is a great benefit for standardizing instructional technology and materials on a school-wide or district level. It's the logical next step in presentation technology."
By using free SidePad and WiFi Doc applications, the WD390U-EST projector also supports BYOD (Bring Your Own Display) initiatives with flexibility. Teachers and presenters can use a mobile device such as a tablet or a smart phone to access, mirror and control a computer that is connected to the projector and the same Wi-Fi network, and present Powerpoint®, Excel®, Word®, TXT, PPD and JPG files from their iOS or Android devices directly through the projector. For the first time, presenters are untethered from their computers and can control and present from any location within the classroom or meeting space. Both the SidePad and Wifi Doc apps are free downloads via the Apple® App store or Google Play.
Using Texas Instruments DLP® technology, the new projector boasts 3000 lumens of brightness as well as one of the longest estimated lamp lives available -- up to 6000* hours in low mode. And in a continued nod to cost savings, a high-power, 10-watt speaker with variable audio output is built in so even when the projector is in stand-by mode, the speaker can still be used, eliminating the cost and necessity of external amplifiers and speakers.
Mitsubishi's WD390U-EST projector is built with a specially crafted lens that provides excellent ultra short-throw focus performance, and can project a 70-inch (diagonal) wide-screen WXGA image from less than 23-inches away. Teachers and presenters can move in front of the image without creating distracting shadows on the screen.
The WD390U-EST offers HDMI support as well as easy set-up options for multiple video inputs. It has an RS232 connector and a built-in RJ45 input that offers plug-and-play connectivity with third-party remote management products such as those made by Crestron and AMX, as well as Mitsubishi's ProjectorView Global+.
The projector comes with Mitsubishi's three-year limited warranty on parts and labor, and a one-year limited warranty on the lamp; terms and conditions apply. Like all Mitsubishi data projectors, these new projectors are covered by the Express Replacement Assistance (ERA) Program, a comprehensive nationwide service that offers next business-day replacement** for down units that are under warranty.
"Mitsubishi continues to bring new technological innovation to its products," said James Chan, vice president, marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America, Inc. "This new cloud projector is just the latest in a long line of Mitsubishi firsts."
The Mitsubishi WD390U-EST will be available in March at a competitive price. Additional models will be announced throughout the first half of 2013.

Fish Oil For Recovery
As athletes we're constantly breaking down our muscle fibers through training. It is through the process of tissue regeneration that muscle growth and recovery happen, however it's not always as quick as we would like. The stiffness, muscle soreness, and join aches can happen as you push your body towards new levels of accomplishment.
Which is why many athletes turn to fish oil. It is linked to quicker Muscle Recovery, Joint Health, Lung Performance, Fat Loss, and Heart Health. Regular consumption in either pill or liquid form has profound benefits to your health and fitness!

Nokia Siemens Networks deal with Vodacom Tanzania
TELECOMS| Oct. 6, 2011, 12:55 p.m.
Nokia Siemens Networks has migrated the existing charging and billing system of Vodacom Tanzania to its own charge@once unified platform.
With the charge@once unified platform, Vodacom Tanzania's customers can now flexibly choose either prepaid, post paid or a combination of both payment options for their voice, data and SMS services.
The platform also offers a wide set of pre-defined modules that can be used to create marketing campaigns with minimal efforts and more flexibility in a shorter turnaround time.
"We wanted our customers to be the first to enjoy flexibility in bill payments, and we have become the first one to implement this flexibility in Africa," said Dietlof Mare, managing director of Vodacom Tanzania.
According to Deon Geyser, customer team head at Nokia Siemens Networks, implementing Nokia Siemens Networks' unified charging and billing platform is an example of Vodacom's commitment to introduce the latest technology in the market, offering a wide range of services with flexible payment methods.
"The platform provides flexible bill payment options for both fixed and mobile network services for all customers," he said.
With migration to Nokia Siemens Networks' charge@once unified platform, the customers of Vodacom Tanzania can now choose postpaid method for using services for business purposes, and prepaid option for private voice calls or SMS.
In addition, the platform enables family contracts, where parents can opt for postpaid payment for their voice services and use their phones to recharge their children's prepaid subscriptions.
Nokia Siemens Networks' charging and billing platform has a variety of features including self administration, which allows customers to set bill limits and receive alerts on exceeding it.
It also allows them various options for recharging their prepaid accounts. With this platform, the operator can also offer special SMS plans as well as customized tariff schemes to its subscribers for internet use.

Ronald "Tenad" Washington, a notorious Queens stick-up man and longtime person of interest in the murder of Jam Master Jay, expects to be charged as an accessory to the legendary DJ's murder. According to the Boston Herald, an unnamed female witness has told authorities that Washington confessed his involvement in the murders of Jay and Randy "Stretch" Walker, an associate of the late Tupac Shakur. Washington was convicted earlier this month of six counts of armed robbery and is currently incarcerated in a Brooklyn prison. He denies any involvement in either murder, and has said that he was at the Queen's studio where Jay was murdered to provide him with protection. "They want to blame me for all the blood in rap," Washington told the Herald. "They are trying to pen me up for these murders." Washington also expects to be charged with Walker's 1995 murder. Walker, a longtime friend of Tupac, was later accused by the rapper of helping orchestrate his robbery and shooting in 1995 at New York's Quad Studios. Walker was murdered in Queens one year to the day after the Quad shooting. According to the Herald, the indictments in the Jam Master Jay and Walker slayings are part of a large federal investigation of violence in the rap industry. Law enforcement sources have stated that more indictments are expected against multiple rap artists in the near future.

Thank you all for your wonderful support. First off I am going to try really hard get through this without medication or counseling. I changed health insurance when I retired and the insurance does not pay for worthwhile meds or counseling.
So this is how I'm coping. First I have not initiated any contact and he has not contacted me. I read a lot of very helpful information in the healing library and read the posts on MAS and realized that everything I am thinking and has happened is very common. NOTHING is different with my A than anyone else (except paying for a room with quarters)...LOL
Since I tend to over analyze and obsess, I took a rubber band and put it on my wrist and snapped it whenever I thought of him. Here's the problem, I was getting welts on my wrist because I was snapping it so many times.
I went to see the movie Hope Springs and cried through the entire movie because this is how I got involved in an A in the first place having a marriage where H works all the time watches TV and takes me for granted.
I will keep everyone posted on my progress. And for those of you that are worried, I WILL NOT HARM MYSELF!
|Thu, 08-16-2012 - 6:11pm
Good for you for staying the course. I'm so glad you found us because I know it's comforting knowing that you don't have to go alone.
I, too, am concerned somewhat about your past suicide attempts...if you feel you are faltering and having those thoughts again, please contact at least your primary care physician. There are many worthwhile medications out there and the generic brands can be reasonable...break open your piggy bank and make payment in quarters And I can recommend counseling enough. A trained professional can really get to our core issues that need working through and can help guide you.
You absolutely can't go wrong sticking with NC, and if you feel an intense urge coming on to reach out to that man, please come here first so we can talk you off the ledge. If no one's here, continue on with some reading in the H.L. for strength and to occupy your mind, call a friend, hug your kids, hug your pets, get that dustbunny waaay in the corner under the bed...anything else but call that man.
Maybe it would be a good idea to avoid movies that are tear-jerkers (unless you need a good cry) and stick with light and humorous movies. A few of my favorites that either have me laughing out loud or at least sitting there with a smile on my face throughout: Waking Ned Devine, Overboard, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World...those are off the top of my head.
Please keep us posted,...better yet, hang around and participate as much as you can.
Thank you for the reassurance that you will not harm yourself....we do worry about that with newbies.
|Thu, 08-16-2012 - 6:13pm
Good to hear you are hanging in there! I thought about the rubber band thing before, but didn't try it, I would have deep gashes in my wrists!
I just heard about that movie this morning, a coworker said she saw it and loved it. When she described a bit of it, I said I'd probably cry through it. Probably better wait til it comes out in dvd.
Keep up the good work! ((((((((hugs))))))))))))

Hi Willow
A couple of things worry me a little about your post. I am of course glad to hear you are coping - maybe I can help a little.
First, I think you should prioritize your meds - are they anti-D medication? There is a reason you have been prescribed them in the past, and there is a reason why you should still be taking them today. Would you tell at Diabetic to "cope" without their Meds? No... I am also talking from experience, I put myself back on Anti-Ds at the 3-4 month mark, as my intial motivation to stop my A helped a lot, but I soon found my depression creeping over me, and it was scary. Please consider putting your health first.
Secondly. There may be people on this board who disagree with me, but I think NC should include not reading over at MAS. I made this rule for myself when I stared my journey 7 months ago, and believe me it really helps not reading over there. There is nothing to learn over there, its just hurt and painful reminders of where we were, not where we are going. Its just my opinion, so take it or leave it :-) And it not to offend any MAS'er - I was an avid reader and partisipater over there while in my A nightmare.
Hang in there sweetie - we've got your back, so keep writing and sharing. This place is truely priceless.
love WGO

Hi Willow,
Good to see you think positively. You are coping! If you believe in you then I do too....
Welcome aboard! First thing you do is get a life jacket on. The sea is not calm and wont be for a while!! But the Captain at the helm knows what she is doing so we are in safe hands. You have had great advice above and I will just echo what has been said in relation to your depression, the minute you feel your mood dip(and you will cos most peoples does during this) then pls do go speak with your doctor. I also agree with WGO re MAS. It is a great board with really good folk who support each other through thick and thin and some do manage to end their A's their way. BUT the quickest and absolute way to get out is NC. Such a horrid little concept at the beginning. I honestly thought I would die if I couldn't speak to XAP well here I am 99 days later and feeling a lot happier. Half the battle is wanting out and it sounds to like you do... You really want out.
Now about those darn rubber bands and welts on your arm!! Im not a fan of negative reinforcement, heck we hurt ourselves enough on this journey we don't need to sting ourselves with rubber bands!!!! A much gentler and more rewarding reinforcement might be if you got an empty jar and every time you think of him put a quarter in, then on day 90 NC (Tweenerville) take em out and treat yourself to something nice (Hotel room is not an option) I wish I could work out the monetary value a quarter to our money but numbers is not my forte. Im guessing it is low though
So Willow you have a busy day ahead, deleting numbers, blocking emails, social networks, every avenue of contact (if you haven't already) and don't forget to change up some money to have quarters at the ready. Wishing you a ton of strength Willow You can do this.

I am still coping. I did break NC and send him a birthday message. Yesterday was his birthday. BUT, I actually got a reply that will help in my ending journey. Since his W has been laid off, he has to account to her his where about after work. I know some of you will say, OH you will find away but in this relationship there has only been very short specific times we could talk or see each other. With W checking up on him this is a good ending.
I have been praying for an ending with less pain, maybe this is the answer to my prayer.
I know I am not as weepy today as last week.
This is the beginning!
|Tue, 08-21-2012 - 9:42am
In my experience, these things don't come from the outside. Ending an A is an internal resolution. Even people who have had their xap's disappear on them don't seem to automatically accept what's been thrust upon them. They email, stalk and keep it alive in their heads until they realize they're wasting precious moments of their lives pining after someone who doesn't want/cannot have a real relationship. There are many posters here who can tell tales of having emailed for months but getting no response. It doesn't end until a conscious decision is made by the ender (us).
Maybe now is the time to decide that you want this less weepiness to continue and to grow. Maybe it's time to decide you want to stop hurting yourself. You're on the sugar high of contact and, like a real sugar high, it won't last. You'll need to contact him again shortly, probably because it'll be labour day or raining or you saw a cloud that reminded you of something and you just have to tell him. I'm not teasing. I'm being serious. Your brain will always find a way to get you to do what it wants. This is a tough addiction to kick.
The path to no more pain is NC. All you have to do is follow it.
|Tue, 08-21-2012 - 10:01am
I hope this is the last message ever sent. There will always be another birthday, a holiday, a get-well moment, happy chocolate day as an excuse to break NC. Please put a plan in place for those weak, painful moments. Come here and talk it out, read through the Healing Library, call a friend, hug your kid(s), hug your husband, pat your pet, get involved with a project, get working on your 'whys'.
Ultimately you want to find yourself in a place that you are ended because you have arrived at your on conclusion that it needs to be ended and stay ended...not because his wife has made it more difficult to carry on.
I've noted your NC date. Am I'm kinda anal about the neatness of my index cards, and so if you keep breaking NC and I have to keep crossing out the date and adding a new date, I end up just ripping up the card and starting a new one...cause I like things neat. And if this happens too frequently, I'll start billing you...they're probably two cents a piece...just so ya know
To new beginnings...cheers! <clink clink>

Thanks for the replies. I read my post and felt stupid. I understand about the "high" also. I really am working on this Clairity and everyone else. Luckly I have been busy with my new job and don't have as much time to think.
I love weekends because there is no possible contact and I feel free. I felt free when he was with his family on vacation.
As I read these statements a "DUH" moment occured.
|Tue, 08-21-2012 - 9:16pm
Ahhhh, don't feel stupid, but if there IS anywhere you can admit to doing a stupid thing or two, it is right here because we have all sat and visited with stupid.
With time and distance, the DUH moments, which start to bust up the fog, really begin to add up, and before you know it, you're in the clear.
It's good you are busy with your new job. I hope you are happy in it.
At some point, though, you are going to have sit with yourself and do some heavy duty thinking. This is where a good therapy comes in...I really can't stress that enough.
I believe you ARE working on this. You must be 24-hours NC by now...that's BIG!
NC=FREEDOM. You got that right!

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute has awarded an 18-month, $7 million contract to Children's Hospital Colorado and seven peer institutions for a proposal called "A National Pediatric Learning Health System (PEDSNet)." PEDSNet is a national pediatric learning health system that will boost efficiency in health research.
The proposal calls for creating a national, pediatric-specific learning health system composed of a newly formed multi-institutional clinical data research network. Michael Kahn, MD, PhD, Director, Clinical Informatics in the Division of Quality and Patient Safety, will serve as the Colorado site principal investigator.
Learn more about patient safety and quality.
"This multidisciplinary collaboration with PEDSnet allows researchers, patients and clinicians to interact directly and jointly to determine research priorities," said Kahn, "PEDSnet will reduce the time and effort needed to launch new studies and focus research on questions and outcomes – meaning we will have innovative research from the "bench to bedside" which will ultimately benefit the care of not only children and families at Children's Colorado but across the nation."
This network calls for leading pediatric centers across the country to collaborate by sharing data from electronic health records and covers three topical areas including: inflammatory bowel disease, congenital heart disease and obesity.

About the Jaguar XJ-Series
The Jaguar XJ has been positioned as the British marque's flagship sedan since its 1972 introduction. The XJ has evolved considerably since then, but Jaguar has held on to a familiar set of styling cues for this full-size sedan.
The first XJs were grouped under the Mark 1 classification, which ran from 1968 (with the XJ predecessors) until 1992. Important developments during this period included the addition of an XJ Coupe and the powerful XJ12 sedan. Jaguar's reputation was marred by numerous build quality and electronics issues throughout the 1970s. While most XJ sedans were replaced in 1986 with a new model, the Mark 1 XJ12 continued until 1992.
The Mark 2 XJs emerged in 1986, overlapping with the Mark 1, after years of production delays. This series was marked by seemingly out-of-place square headlights, although this design did not last through all six of the Mark 2 styling updates. It was during this phase that Jaguar ownership was transferred to Ford, and the powerful R-Style XJ was introduced.
The third and current series, the Mark 3, was introduced as the Mark 2 replacement in 2002. Jaguar was badly in need of a modernized version of its classic flagship sedan, in order to keep pace with the ever-evolving German competition. A new all-aluminum unibody construction served as the foundation for traditional exterior styling, and a much more agile car was created.

Roman Reigns
Real Name
Joseph Anoai
Date of Birth
May 25, 1985
Place of Birth
There is a little bit of a dilemma backstage in WWE right now when it comes to the Roman Reigns push. Management does not want to put the title on him just yet because they feel that it would be more effective to let him do it at Wrestlemania 31. However, he has gone pretty high up the card already, as Randy Orton is near the top of the ladder. Management will have to figure out what to do with him over the next several months.
August 22, 2014
Reports are surfacing that there is some backstage heat between Vince McMahon and Triple H at the moment over the main event of Wrestlemania 31. McMahon wants Brock Lesnar to defend the title against the Rock, as he feels that those two guys would produce the biggest draw of a match for WWE. HHH, however, wants the company to elevate Roman Reigns by having him challenge Lesnar.
August 18, 2014
During the main event of Monday Night Raw this week, it appeared that Seth Rollins injured his knee during an interaction with Roman Reigns. Rumors are floating around now that he is actually fine and was just selling the move. However, there are reports that WWE is simply downplaying things, so that fans will continue to be hyped for his upcoming match against Dean Ambrose. Fans in attendance noted that the referee did indeed signal the medical crew backstage when the incident happened.
July 15, 2014
By now, everyone should know that WWE has plans on pushing Roman Reigns into the main event scene. However, not everyone knows that the original plan was not this accelerated. Management has decided to pull the trigger much quicker on the Reigns push because of the absence of Daniel Bryan, who is still indefinitely on the sideline due to a serious neck injury. There are some concerns backstage that Reigns could be ruined if the push is rushed too quickly.
July 10, 2014
In a sign of how quickly the heel turn decision was made, WWE still has yet to figure out what new gear Seth Rollins will be wearing now that he is a solo performer. That is one of the reasons why he still continues to wear the same gear as his former partners in the Shield, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Since it is viewed as one of the top priorities backstage, you can expect WWE to produce something new for him to wear soon enough.
June 13, 2014
Ever since it happened on Monday Night Raw, WWE fans have been raving about the Seth Rollins heel turn because it was considered a surprise to many. The reason for that, however, is because it was a surprise to those backstage as well. The script for the show did not include that segment initially. John Cena and Kane were supposed to be in the final spot, but WWE quickly changed their minds and had Rollins turn on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns instead.
June 4, 2014
Despite never climbing the ranks and becoming a main event performer, WWE recognized the skills and passion that Joey Mercury had for the profession. In a feature on their website, the company put some spotlight on Mercury, who is now working as a trainer and backstage agent for WWE. Paul Heyman, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns had quite a bit of praise for Mercury.
May 21, 2014
While the early rumors were that Evolution and the Shield would be doing a rematch at Payback 2014, word coming out of backstage now is that WWE is thinking about handling things a little bit differently. Management is toying around with the idea of doing three separate singles matches involving Batista, Triple H, Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at the pay per view.
May 7, 2014
It is no secret backstage that Triple H has been quite high on Roman Reigns since he was first signed to a developmental contract. WWE has started the big push for Reigns, and HHH is one of the biggest advocates of that move. The end result of the feud between the Shield and Evolution will see Reigns going over HHH big time at a pay per view.
May 5, 2014
The goal for WWE backstage this summer is to elevate Roman Reigns into a main event performer, so that he can be utilized in a high profile pay per view match against Triple H soon. At Extreme Rules 2014, WWE planted the seeds for that by having Reigns spearing and pinning Batista to get the victory for the Shield. The moment gave him some further credibility.
May 5, 2014
A video from Smackdown of the Shield attacking Brad Maddox backstage. WWE has been pushing Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns even more so recently, in order to get them ready for their big match against Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista at Extreme Rules 2014.
April 27, 2014
WWE.com is reporting that Billy Gunn suffered a serious injury during his match against Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 30. The report reveals that he was coughing up blood backstage after taking the triple power bomb from the Shield at the end of the match. No word yet on whether this is a story line or a legitimate injury.
April 7, 2014
"You know what, I tell him this and we joke about it, but the smartest thing WWE did was put him with me and Dean Ambrose. Because when we met him, he started from scratch. Granted he's got a whole family history in the wrestling business, but he's a football player. He's an athlete and he's coachable, but like he gets it. Like he got it quick and he understood right away what we were doing. I think putting him with myself and Ambrose, who had the wealth of experience and the all the knowledge and traveling the road. We're in a car all the time, we're on the planes together, we're having the matches together. He was just able to soak up that information we were giving out like a sponge and you can see the difference. He was great when we came in, but look at him now and he's a completely different performer. It was the smartest thing they ever did, putting him with us." - Seth Rollins discussing the backstage reason why Roman Reigns was placed with the Shield
April 6, 2014
Since the company is worried about ruining the momentum of a potential star, there has been a lot of changes discussed backstage on how to handle the Roman Reigns push. Right now, WWE feels that it would be better if Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose turned on Reigns, as opposed to the other way around, because it would get the fans behind Reigns more.
March 22, 2014
In a sign that they still have a good amount of backstage power, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have been pushing management to let them work with the Shield before WWE has Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins going their separate ways. It looks like the company will be giving them that chance at Wrestlemania 30 in the Kane story line.
March 21, 2014
There are still those backstage that are pushing for the Shield to remain together, even when Roman Reigns is split off and pushed as a singles star. Some are concerned that Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose could be lost in the shuffle without Reigns around. There were talks previously of bringing Mason Ryan up as a replacement member, but no word on whether WWE is still planning to do this.
March 6, 2014
Initially, there were plans to make Wrestlemania 30 a huge night for Roman Reigns, but as of late, it appears that WWE is struggling backstage with how to actually pull that off. Some are still pushing for the triple threat match against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, while others want to put him in a filler tag team match against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
March 1, 2014
John Cena has been using his backstage powers as of late to get WWE to create new stars. He has told management that he is tired of working with the same performers over and over again. The former heavyweight champion feels that guys like Antonio Cesaro, Roman Reigns, Big E Langston and others could provide his character with some freshness.
February 17, 2014
Despite not being a main event performer yet, management has kept Roman Reigns as a focal point backstage when they are mapping out Wrestlemania 30. The only thing for sure is that he will be going over in a high profile match. Right now, officials are leaning towards doing a triple threat match for him against Shield teammates, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
February 8, 2014
"I'll literally be getting dressed or something, I turn the corner, and WHAM there's the cameras. 'Ah, they got me again.' It's like Where's Waldo, you never know where they're gonna be. And for me when I'm backstage, preparing, getting ready, it's not something I wanna be bothered with. So sometimes you'll just randomly hear guys cursing, like that's gonna get them off of the show, like they can't use that scene or something because, 'there's that guy, he's just cussing in the background. A lot of guys just, they all just duck their heads and walk off. So that's something that we deal with but that's the world of entertainment."
- Roman Reigns on Total Divas cameras
January 24, 2014
During a recent interview with Alternative Nation, Hornswoggle was asked about his backstage heat with the Rock. The WWE star revealed some details about an incident that took place when the Rock was revealed as the special guest host of Wrestlemania 27. Hornswoggle stated that the Rock confused him for a Make a Wish kid. Rock apparently tapped him on the shoulders and asked if he had a good time at the show.
August 29, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw last week saw John Cena being booked dominantly against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. It has now been revealed that Vince McMahon was the person behind all of that. Someone backstage had informed McMahon that a lot of WWE fans were mocking Cena for being dominated, so McMahon has decided to build Cena back up again.
August 28, 2014
There might be some backstage heat towards Zack Ryder. After working the live events this week for the company, he noted that he was flying back to New York. He also stated that he was not sick, which has led many fans to believe that this involves some sort of disciplinarian issues. WWE usually flies in performers for Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, even if they're not being utilized on television.
August 25, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Miz may have suffered a concussion. The Intercontinental Champion took a very stiff kick to the face from Dolph Ziggler in a match in Fresno. Afterwards, he appeared to be quite dazed and requested the assistance of a trainer to help get backstage. WWE has yet to issue an official statement, so we will have to wait until Monday Night Raw for further clues.
August 25, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Kurt Angle has called Triple H about a possible return to WWE. Reports has surfaced that HHH is not interested in a reunion with the former world heavyweight champion. There is said to be some lingering backstage heat from HHH towards Angle, whose contract with TNA expires in exactly a month from today.
August 21, 2014
There is a split backstage in WWE when it comes to viewing Dean Ambrose as a main event performer. A lot of people in management do not view the former Shield member as someone of that caliber. He also has his supporters, and that group has probably increased in size after his superb performances with Seth Rollins at Summerslam 2014 and Monday Night Raw.
August 21, 2014
There were some talks backstage in WWE of bringing in Rey Mysterio to help do promotions for Summerslam 2014. He lives three hours away in San Diego and is especially popular in southern California. However, that never happened. The shows how bad the relationship is between the two sides, as Mysterio reportedly wants to be free of his contract with the company.
August 21, 2014
Hulk Hogan has a knack for drawing attention. That's why he has made millions of dollars in his career. The former world heavyweight champion has pulled TMZ in and brought extra attention to WWE this week by exaggerating his supposed real life feud with Brock Lesnar. Hogan is pretending to have backstage heat with Lesnar because the former UFC champion called him "grandpa".
August 21, 2014
Since he has worked himself into shape and became a legitimate main event performer, many are speculating that Bully Ray will be heading to WWE after his contract with TNA expires in a couple of days. However, reports are surfacing that WWE is hesitant to bring him back. Aside from his age, there are those backstage in the company that do not like Bully.
August 21, 2014
Everyone in the industry now knows that Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio made appearances for AAA at the TripleMania pay per view. The belief is that WWE will be pursuing legal actions against the promotion, as management has been very quiet backstage about the incident. That has led many to believe that lawyers have advised them not to discuss the situation.
August 19, 2014
Rumors are now floating around that one of the reasons why TNA parted ways with Vince Russo is due to the fact that he interviewed Daffney on his podcast show. There is said to be a good amount of backstage heat towards her because of the lawsuit that she filed against the company a couple of years back. Russo being involved with her is something that reportedly annoyed management.
August 19, 2014
While a lawsuit against WWE is still being pondered, Alberto Del Rio revealed that several employees, including wrestlers, were witnesses to the backstage incident that took place between he and Cody Barbierri. Of particular note, Del Rio pointed out that Jack Swagger was one of the wrestlers that saw the entire thing unfold. If a lawsuit takes place, then there is a chance that Swagger could be questioned.
August 18, 2014
While management has seemingly given up on the Bo Dallas push, they do not appear to be in a rush to give him a release just yet. The belief is that WWE will keep him around for the time being and utilize him as a roster filler. Dallas is considered a good employee who shows up to work and does not cause trouble backstage. Another push seems to be out of the question, though.
August 18, 2014
Last night, Jeff Jarrett was scheduled to work a match at TripleMania, which is the biggest pay per view by AAA. Unfortunately, though, he was not able to make it. Jarrett had some travel issues due to some bad weather in Texas. There is said to be no backstage heat towards the former world heavyweight champion because he did make the effort to try to get to Mexico for the show.
August 18, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Bully Ray has informed the TNA locker room that he will be leaving the company. That comes as a shock because the former world heavyweight champion had been gaining a bit of power backstage. His contract expires in September, and negotiations are said to be ongoing. The company has been locking up a handful of wrestlers over the last few weeks, so it's not impossible for them to work out another contract with Bully.
August 17, 2014
As expected, WWE has instructed their performers to remain silent if they are asked about the backstage incident that led to the release of Alberto Del Rio. When asked by the media, Sheamus explicitly stated that he knew nothing of the situation, even though most everyone in the company is aware of what happened. Management does not want to run the risk of starting a legal battle with Del Rio.
August 17, 2014
In a sign of how much power he has gained backstage, Bully Ray was recently put in charge of a talent meeting to explain to the performers that TNA was still going to remain in business. The former world heavyweight champion has been given access to details of the negotiations that the company has undertaken with the various television networks.
August 17, 2014
While the widespread assumption is that Spike and TNA have parted ways, the two sides still remain in negotiations on a new television contract. Executives from the network were backstage at the recent taping of Impact Wrestling. There were also representatives from other television networks on hand as well, as they are interested in doing a deal with Dixie Carter.
August 17, 2014
It looks like Alberto Del Rio will not be joining TNA or Global Force Wrestling after all. During a media appearance, the former world heavyweight champion revealed that he cannot wrestle in the United States for approximately a year. The belief is that he breached his contract with WWE when the backstage incident took place. That reportedly enables the company to ban him from working for another wrestling promotion.
August 16, 2014
Since he still has some backstage stroke, Batista is said to be using his political powers in an attempt to get WWE to push Titus ONeil, whom he calls a very close friend of his. The former world heavyweight champion has even publicly stated that he would be more than willing to be the person to elevate ONeil should the company decide to go that route.
August 15, 2014
A Shield reunion could be taking place as soon as Night of Champions 2014. Unfortunately, though, the trio will not be on the same side. There are talks now that instead of doing a singles match between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, WWE could opt to go with a tag team match. Dean Ambrose would make his return and team up with Reigns against the team of Rollins and Kane.
August 26, 2014
One of the things that will help Roman Reigns in his quest to win the WWE title is the fact that he has a good amount of sex appeal. It was one of the first things that Triple H noticed when he met Reigns. The company keeps track of what fans are saying through social media, and they're easily able to see that a lot of female fans are attracted to his looks. That might help draw in the female demographics.
August 16, 2014
A little buzz was created this week when Dolph Ziggler defeated Randy Orton in the main event of a WWE live event. A lot of fans believed that this would be the start of a push for the former world heavyweight champion. However, that does not appear to be the case. Ziggler was simply substituting for Roman Reigns, who was on another tour. WWE usually lets the baby face win the final match of the night to send the live audience home happy.
August 11, 2014
While he might not be as hyped as Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose is actually moving up quite a bit in the eyes of management. In addition to doing a good job at portraying his character and working solid matches in the ring, Ambrose has caught the attention of management by becoming a media darling. His ability to make WWE look good to the public has put him in the good graces of high ranking officials.
August 5, 2014
During a recent interview with CBS Radio in Washington DC, Batista was asked for his opinion on Roman Reigns. The former world heavyweight champion stated that he felt that WWE is pushing Reigns a bit too quickly. Batista feels that the company would have benefited more by giving Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins a longer baby face run since the stable was really over with the audience.
August 5, 2014
Since Roman Reigns is headed towards a big match against Randy Orton at Summerslam 2014, that has left many to wonder if he is still going to work a program against Triple H. That feud is definitely still on the table, as WWE believes it will be the one to catapult him into the main event scene. The company simply has yet to figure out when they want the two of them to start working together.
August 3, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE officials have banned Antonio Cesaro from utilizing his giant swing move. The belief is that the company does not want him to accumulate more fan support because the move has proven to be massively popular. Management is said to be holding off on his face turn and big push because they want to focus on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns first.
July 26, 2014
With the pay per view just a day away, rumors are firing up about WWE pulling the trigger on the Roman Reigns era. There are talks that he could walk out of the WWE Battleground 2014 pay per view as the new heavyweight champion. Management might be forced to give John Cena some time off to film some scenes in a big movie, so the title change has been discussed heavily over the last couple of days.
July 19, 2014
While doing an interview in Cleveland recently to promote his upcoming Hercules movie, the Rock was asked about a return to WWE and a potential match against his cousin Roman Reigns. The Hollywood star stated that it would not make sense right now for the match to happen because Reigns is not the top heel in the company. Rock floated the idea of returning as a heel, but that might not be something that WWE is interested in doing because they know that the fans will not root against the popular performer.
July 19, 2014
By now, it's already clear to many that Triple H wants to put Roman Reigns over and make him a main event performer in WWE. However, that might not necessarily be happening overnight. Rumors are floating around that their big match will take place at Summerslam 2014. That might not be the last one. The belief is that this feud will be stretched out and could possible involve a big gimmick match of some sort before the year ends.
July 7, 2014
While it's several months away and a lot can change during that time, rumors are floating around that Roman Reigns is being penciled in to win Royal Rumble 2015. WWE really wants him to be a main event performer, and being the last man standing in the 30 man battle royal just might be the way to make that happen. The move would put him on track to headline Wrestlemania 31.
July 5, 2014
While it is still quite a long time away, WWE currently has plans penciled in for Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 31. The company wants him to challenge Brock Lesnar at the event, and they're going to heavily push the fact that Reigns is going up against the only man that has ever defeated Undertaker at the biggest pay per view event of the year. The winning moment is supposed to cement Reigns as the top star in WWE.
July 2, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE was quick to set up the main event for WWE Battleground 2014. John Cena will defend the heavyweight championship in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. The move was set up by Triple H, who did not reveal his reasoning for putting Reigns, an adversary, into the title match instead of Seth Rollins.
July 1, 2014
Even though we have another pay per view before then, plans are already being penciled in for Summerslam 2014. Roman Reigns is expected to have a big role on that show, but management isn't certain on the details just yet. Right now, WWE has either Randy Orton or Triple H putting over the former Shield member. Both feuds are expected to eventually happen during this year, but the order isn't certain.
July 1, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
As of right now, WWE has a big match between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton penciled in for WWE Battleground 2014. The company could set up the feud during the title match at Money in the Bank 2014. There are some rumors floating around that Orton and Reigns could be battling for the title at Battleground, even though it's a bit early for the big push to begin.
June 28, 2014
Some big things are happening for Seth Rollins. Aside from being split up from Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, the WWE star is also now engaged to his longtime girlfriend. No word yet on when the wedding date will be. However, the belief is that he will not be missing any television time for it, especially since he is being given a singles push now.
June 27, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Dean Ambrose has a new ring gear, which reportedly will be jeans and a tank top. However, that could just be speculations from WWE fans because Seth Rollins recently was given a new outfit to wear in the ring. Ambrose is still a member of the Shield with Roman Reigns, so they don't necessarily need to change what they wear.
June 18, 2014
Over the last year, fans became aware that Roman Reigns was on the fast track to the main event scene in WWE. The company views him as a potentially big superstar, and they put that to the test this weekend at a live event in Canada. Reigns was given a headlining spot against Bray Wyatt in a Hamilton street fight, which featured interference from both Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. WWE is showing a lot of faith in Reigns by letting him close out the show on top.
June 15, 2014
When Seth Rollins turned on the Shield and joined Triple H and Randy Orton, fans wondered which of his former partners WWE was going to have him feuding with first. It appears that the choice is going to be Dean Ambrose. The two of them worked a match at a live event in Ontario this weekend, meaning that they could have been getting in some practice before working matches on television. Rollins will eventually feud with Roman Reigns down the line as well.

Independence Hall
Independence Hall Review
The birthplace of the United States, this redbrick building with its clock tower and steeple is one of the nation's greatest icons. America's most historic building was constructed in 1732–56 as the Pennsylvania State House. What happened here between 1775 and 1787 changed the course of American history—and the name of the building to Independence Hall. The delegates to the Second Continental Congress met in the hall's Assembly Room in May 1776, united in anger over the blood that had been shed when British troops fired on citizens in Concord, Massachusetts. In this same room George Washington was appointed commander in chief of the Continental Army, Thomas Jefferson's eloquent Declaration of Independence was signed, and later the Constitution of the United States was adopted. Here the first foreign minister to visit the United States was welcomed; the news of Cornwallis's defeat was announced, signaling the end of the Revolutionary War; and, later, John Adams and Abraham Lincoln lay in state. The memories this building holds linger in the collection of polished muskets, the silver inkstand used by delegates to sign the Declaration of Independence, and the "Rising Sun" chair in which George Washington sat. (After the Constitution was adopted, Benjamin Franklin said about the sun carving on the chair, "I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.")
In the East Wing —attached to Independence Hall by a short colonnade—you can embark on free tours that start every 15 to 20 minutes and last 35 minutes. Admission is first-come, first-served; pick up free, timed tickets from the visitor center to avoid waiting in line. The West Wing of Independence Hall contains an exhibit of the national historical park's collection of our nation's founding documents: the final draft of the Constitution, a working copy of the Articles of Confederation, and the first printing of the Declaration of Independence.
In front of Independence Hall, next to the statue of George Washington, note the plaques marking the spots where Abraham Lincoln stood on February 22, 1861, and where John F. Kennedy delivered an address on July 4, 1962. With Independence Hall in front of you and the Liberty Bell behind you, this is a place to stand for a moment and soak up a sense of history. From March through December and on major holidays, free, timed tickets from the visitor center are required for entry. Tickets also can be reserved by calling 800/967–2283 or by logging on to www.recreation.gov.

Daily SP Rankings: Wednesday, Aug 20
Wow, Wednesday has a lot of bad pitching options. Recalling that 100 is league average, only 11 of the day's 30 pitchers rate average or better, and only seven of 30 rate at least 5% better! I love Danny Duffy this season, but he's a fly ball pitcher going at the Rockies. Pass. Nick Martinez has over a 70% chance at the loss! I still think he makes for a decent "There's...

Royals Escape Ninth, Beat Twins 6-5
The Kansas City Royals now have a 1.5 game lead over the Detroit Tigers for the American League Central, and if the season ended today, which it doesn't, Detroit wouldn't even be in the playoffs. In the first inning, Danny Duffy looked to be as sharp as a tack. In the third, it would appear just the opposite. After back-to-back singles, the defense fell to pieces. On a sacrifice...

Duffy finally gets some run support, Royals rout Diamondbacks 12-2
PHOENIX -- The Kansas Royals had given Danny Duffy almost no run support over his previous four starts and little all season, so they were anxious give him something, anything against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ten runs on three swings did the trick nicely. Billy Butler had a three-run homer among his four hits, Nori Aoki hit a grand slam and the Royals gave Duffy some rare run support...

Surging Royals will try to get some runs for Duffy vs. D-backs
With their injured star done for the season, the Arizona Diamondbacks face an even tougher task against a surging Kansas City Royals club that's pitching well of late. The Diamondbacks continue on minus first baseman Paul Goldschmidt on Tuesday night against the visiting Royals. Arizona manager Kirk Gibson announced Sunday that Goldschmidt would miss the rest of the season after...

Royals Edge Twins, Win 3-2
It was looking like another game that would require Danny Duffy to throw a shut out just to even qualify for a win. Danny Duffy made one mistake pitch four innings of Wednesday's matchup against the Twins. Duffy left a fastball up to Josh Willingham, and he hit it a very long way. Duffy settled down until the fifth inning when he put two on with one out. Ned Yost decided to pull...

Duffy getting used to working with limited run support
Danny Duffy watched as Kansas City's offense was shut down in the series opener with Minnesota, something he's also grown accustomed to witnessing during his starts. The left-hander hopes that's not the case Wednesday night against the visiting Twins as he looks to help the Royals avoid a third straight defeat. Duffy (5-10, 2.47 ERA) is the only pitcher in baseball with...

The 'PG' version of Danny Duffy is still pretty nasty to opposing hitters
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Royals left-hander Danny Duffy fully admits there was a time when he was a little out of control on the mound. When he got mad, he showed it -- especially vocally. And everyone could hear it. These days, Duffy still gets mad. He just hides it better, thanks to a trick he learned from James Shields. Shields is legendary for barking obscenities into his glove. Now...

Offense, Umpire Dooms Royals as They Drop Game Two, 2-1
I'm going to keep it short and sweet tonight. Poor Danny Duffy. Danny Duffy made another fabulous start tonight, but it was soiled by the offense yet again. Duffy gave us six innings of quality work as he only gave up one earned run. It was an errant throw by Duffy that gave the Tigers their second run. Nine men left on base tonight. Nine. That's absolutely pathetic. That's...

Now they'll try to get the final 81 games off to a strong start with one of the AL's top pitchers in June taking the mound. Danny Duffy looks to help the Royals win two in a row for the first time...

Gonna vote for @nephilim seemed the closest to me.
@alexsanger +1
Rawns (thanks @LeightonJames)
So if you feel another entrant just really deserves it you can vote for them, but are not compelled to do so.
WHOAH! seen the time? Better crack on with today's winner draw! This votey thingy's got me all distracted.
Edugeek_Nephilim + 1
Well I am gonna buck the trend :D
Righto. In amongst the voting, here is today's STOCKTOBER2! winner draw:
Congatulations - please select your number from those remaining (helpful freezeframe used as the video thumbnail above).
Remember entries are still open, so if you get in now you'll be in the draw from tomorrow onwards until your name is drawn (but will be put back before the star prize PS4 draw). To enter just PM me your professional contact details if you are a UK based IT manager/tech type, OR if you've entered a VeryPC competition on EduGeek before, you can just speak up in the thread that you want back in and we'll add you.
TechMonkey falls on his sword for his comrade in arms! What a trooper.
Whilst I admire your honourability, I can't be seen to be favouring your vote with rewards. We start down that road and who knows where it could end? Vote rigging, post-electoral promises, hanging chads, tactical zoning, Jeb Bush - we're better than that! RaaaaarggghhhH!
@hallb15 appears to be a computer. @mac_shinobi appears to be British Morgan Freeman. @Rawns appears to be my Grandma.
So I'm voting @nephilim for being the most Morgan Freeman-ish, and I'm voting Box 12 for my lovely lovely prize please :D

Can Android get the correct time?
In the most recent episode of On The Verge Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson explains that Android phones are all actually 15 seconds behind the actual time. This is due to the 15 leap seconds that have come since 1982, and are not accounted for by the GPS systems that Android phones get their time from. iPhones, on the other hand, account for the 15 seconds and display the correct time. The part I'm mentioning comes from minute 56-58.
I want to know if there is any way to compensate for these 15 seconds on Android and get the correct time. Anyone?

"Dr. (Robert) Anderson did not find anything unexpected in the procedure and the surgery went well," Panthers head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion said in a statement. The team said the full recovery period for Newton is expected to be approximately four months, which would take Newton until the start of training camp. He could be freed to throw on a limited basis before then. According to ESPN.com, Newton nicked his ankle in a Week 16 victory against the New Orleans Saints, but played in the regular-season finale at Atlanta and in the NFC divisional playoff loss against San Francisco without noticeable issue. The decision was made to go ahead with the operation after the ankle failed to heal with rest after the end of the season. ---The annual National Football League meeting begins Monday in Orlando, Fla., and there will be changes of 13 rules, seven by-laws and one resolution potentially put up for vote. The competition committee proposals included an addition to the rule about rolling up on the back of a player's leg to include rolling up from the side; allowing the on-field referee to consult with a member of the league's officiating department, likely vice president of officiating Dean Blandino in the New York command center, during replay reviews; add to the reviewable list of plays clear recoveries of fumbles in the field of play like the one by San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman during the playoffs; keep the game clock running on sacks; eliminate the one yard from the line of scrimmage rule for pass interference; and have defensive penalties behind the line of scrimmage be enforced from the previous spot rather than from where the foul occurred or where the play ended. ---It appears that veteran free-agent quarterback Michael Vick will visit the New York Jets this weekend. According to reports, the Jets are interested in Vick after failing to land free-agent quarterback Josh McCown, who signed a two-year contract last week with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Jets could be interested in the bringing in a veteran to pair with second-year quarterback Geno Smith. Former starter Mark Sanchez remains on the Jets' roster, but he could be released before a March 25 deadline when a $2 million roster bonus kicks in. ---After nine seasons with the Tennessee Titans, kicker Rob Bironas was released by the team. Bironas is the second leading scorer in Oilers/Titans franchise history with 1,032 points, ranking behind only Al Del Greco, and his 85.7 career field goal percentage ranks fourth in NFL history. ---Interest among NFL teams in a trade for Titans running back Chris Johnson is picking up. According to multiple reports, a number of teams could be willing to discuss a deal with the Titans. One of the stumbling blocks could be Johnson's unwillingness to take a pay cut. The 28-year-old Johnson is scheduled to make $8 million in 2014. ---Free-agent defensive tackle Henry Melton is headed to Dallas. The former University of Texas player announced via Twitter that he was returning to the Longhorn state to join the Cowboys. Melton signed a one-year contract that includes three option years, NFL.com reported. The deal, which could yield up to $5 million in 2014, extends to four years if Melton is on the roster at the start of the 2015 season and would include $9 million in guaranteed money. That essentially would make it a four-year, $29 million contract with $14 million guaranteed. ---Former cornerback Troy Vincent was named the NFL's executive vice president of football operations. Dave Gardi, the NFL's vice president of labor relations and football administration, was appointed to a newly created position of senior vice president of football operations. ---Free-agent offensive tackle Eric Winston was named president of the NFL Players Association. Winston was elected at the NFLPA's Board of Player Representatives meeting in Orlando, Fla. Winston succeeds outgoing NFLPA president Domonique Foxworth. ---The Chicago Bears reached agreement with cornerback Sherrick McManis on a one-year contract. McManis spent the past two seasons with the Bears. He made his first career start last season in a game against the St. Louis Rams and played in a career-high 15 games in 2013. ---The Pittsburgh Steelers were to meet with free-agent running back Maurice Jones-Drew on Wednesday and also could be interested in bringing back former Steelers linebacker James Harrison. Jones-Drew, who has spent his entire seven-year career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, also is attracting interest from other teams, ESPN.com reported. ---Restricted free-agent Jed Collins reached agreement on a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions. Collins spent the past three seasons with the New Orleans Saints, primarily as a blocker out of the backfield, but he did contribute 39 receptions (14 each of the past two seasons) for 174 yards and four touchdowns. He also played on special teams. ---The New York Jets re-signed veteran guard Willie Colon to a one-year contract. According to multiple reports, the deal is worth $2 million. The 30-year-old Colon, who signed with the Jets as an unrestricted free agent last March, started 16 games at right guard in 2013. ---The Oakland Raiders re-signed safety Usama Young. HIs agent, Andy Simms, said earlier that the deal was for two years. Young joined the Raiders for the 2013 season after signing a one-year contract. He filled a backup role, finishing with 27 tackles (19 solo), one interception and a career-high 2.5 sacks, before he suffered a season-ending injury. ---Akeem Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins, adding a potential starting inside linebacker to their depth chart. Jordan started 10 games at inside linebacker in the Kansas City Chiefs' 3-4 scheme in 2013. He spent the previous five seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. ---The Green Bay Packers officially re-signed running back James Starks. ESPN.com reported the deal was for two years. Starks played in 13 games with one start in 2013 and rushed for 493 yards and a career-high three touchdowns on 89 carries. His average of 5.54 yards per carry this past season ranked No. 1 in the league among running backs with 80-plus attempts. ---The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with defensive tackle Peria Jerry. The 6-foot-2, 295-pounder was selected by the Falcons in the first round (24th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss. Jerry enjoyed his best season as a pro in 2013, logging career highs with 35 total tackles (27 solo) and 3.5 sacks. -----Blake Bortles' startling ascent from relative unknown to potential No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick stayed on course with one long-time NFL scout at Central Florida's pro day characterizing the quarterback's workout as a "very solid performance overall." Another high-ranking scout at Bortles' workout gave the throwing session a "B" on a typical A-F scale, acknowledging Bortles' "good" accuracy on underneath passes but also questioning his deep ball accuracy after several of the quarterback's final throws sailed over the head of his intended targets. Bortles completed 38 of 47 passes during the scripted workout, with the majority of his misses either drops from his receivers or overthrows on deep balls.
