Well, the elephant in the room (literally?) whenever this topic comes up is, what do we do with Wade? I hate the idea of in-season firing. It rarely inspires the team, and it leaves you generally with another guy posing as a head coach who isn't good enough to be a head coach. That being said, it's time.
Well, I don't think there's too much left to be excited about this year. It's still fun to watch Dez, Ware gets a sack every now and again, and............that's about it. Unfortunately, it's only week 8, so rebuilding is still quite a way away. We need a plan to get us to the draft, where we can try to regain some optimism. After the jump, my plan for getting to April in the best position realistically possible.
The 2010 iteration of the Dallas Cowboys is totally finished. The players no longer respond to Wade, and it would be in both parties best interest to end the current arrangement. Not to light a fire under a team that has none, but simply to put Phillips out of his misery. Do I think we'll be better with Garrett at the head and Pasqualoni calling defensive plays? Absolutely not. Do I think we'll be worse? How could we possibly be worse?
That's basically all you can do until the sweet release of January 3rd. That's the day the off-season begins in earnest (at least for us). Interview Garrett if you must (though I'd be surprised if he does enough to warrant it), interview Rob Ryan, interview Leslie Frazier, and hope the Jets make a quick playoff exit, because no head coaching search is complete right now without either Pettine or Schottenheimer, if not both. As discussed, I vote Schottenheimer. That would most likely give you Matt Cavanaugh as Offensive Coordinator, and Bob Sutton would seem the most likely D-Coordinator on the Jets staff (with a possible shot at getting Pettine, with play calling responsibility) Perhaps more importantly, assistant offensive line coach Mike Devlin would be very likely to jump here to be O-Line Coach. Devlin coached a very successful offensive line at the University of Toledo, and obviously the Jets have been a formidable group in the 4 years he's been there. My vote would be to keep DeCamillis here, but Ben Kotwica would be a name to watch for, as he is assistant special teams coordinator for the Jets.
Before we look at prospective free agents, who goes from our current team? Can I vote everyone? Seriously, its a roster in need of a facelift. Luckily, we have a GM who knows a thing or two about those.
Leonard Davis may be the most obvious cut. I see no way he wears a star next year. Keith Brooking needs to go. Yeah there isn't much behind him, but its clear that there's nothing ahead for him, either. Chris Gronkowski will be gone. He wouldn't have made this team if John Phillips was healthy, and a healthy Phillips next year spells the end of Gronk's stay. (Related Sidenote: I'm firmly against trading Witten, which some have suggested. It isn't quite fair to scold him for not playing his heart out, when no one else is either. Witten seems salvagable with a new head coach and a fresh start). Quickly, Barron gone, Sensabaugh gone, Ball either gone or moved back to 3rd or 4th corner if needed, Scandrick gone, and if I could plead here: PLEASE RESIGN SPEARS! If for no other reason than to afford getting rid of Olshanski. Despite his solid work this season, Roy Williams is gone, barring a very reworked contract. Barber should be cut if he can't be traded. He lacks punch at the goal-line, and it just seems to me he no longer does anything that I don't think Choice could do.
Now on to free agency! If we look at this through Schott-colored lenses, we can try to get a feel for what o-line options might be pursued. The Jets o-line group is all between 6-3 and 6-6, all over 300 pounds, but only RT Damien Woody is over 320. By this standard, Logan Mankins stays on our radar, and as long as Leonard Davis is dumped before any salary cap returns, Mankins would be the only big guard money we'd be paying. Matt Light will be a free agent also, and if he doesn't command LT money somewhere (he is 32 years old), would seem like a great RT pickup that will bring leadership and accountability to an offensive line that will be getting young very fast (like overhauled within the next 2 years fast).
Unfortunately, the DB crop in free agency this year won't be very strong. Eric Weddle of San Diego would seem to be the only starting quality safety, although he may be under the radar enough to sign without breaking the bank (he's smart and dependable, but nothing worth breaking the bank over). Dashon Goldson and Tanard Jackson will most likely be resigned by the 49ers and Bucs, respectively. While names like Johnathan Joseph, Antonio Cromartie, Champ Bailey, and Will Blackmon highlight the cornerbacks, all are likely to be resigned before their contracts expire. Bailey would be the only exception (given his age, Denver may let him go), and would be intriguing if he's willing to move to safety. At 6'0" 193 lbs., he's got the size to make it work.
ILB may have some intriguing, young options. There are a lot of solid if unspectacular young players due to be free agents this year. Time will tell if any slip through. Paul Posluzsny is interesting. Smart and instincitve but, like our own young PSU linebacker, injury prone. The Bills may decide they've seen enough empty potential. With his injury history, I can't imagine he'd get huge money thrown at him. Familiar faces Kevin Burnett and Scott Shanle are both due to be free agents, and both have had some starting seasoning thrown over the potential we saw when they were in Dallas. Other interesting names include Stewart Bradley, Justin Durant, Chad Greenway, Stephen Cooper, and Ben Leber. As noted however, a good deal of these guys will have new contracts before March rolls around.
And now we're at April. Shiny new coaching staff, high picks, and hopefully a couple new grunts in the trenches. I'll lay off going as far as the draft, if for no other reason than its the next logical post for next week.

As extremely difficult as it is to do a thorough " review " of where the Lions are at, I want to try and at least start by asking the " right " questions.
First off, and I really think that this is the most important question, and it's, how strong is the overall talent level of this team ? The Lion's coaching staff and front office had the whole NFL sold on the "idea" that the Lions' talent level had drastically improved, that the roster had a nucleus of rising young stars, and that the Lion's would perennially challenge for a playoff spot going forward because of this. This was no superficial front that they were making, they had a playoff appearance, and some pretty impressive statistics by key players in 2011 to point to.
Was 2011 just a mirage ? Or are players like Stafford, CJ, Pettigrew, Suh, Fairley, Houston, Tulloch, Avril, Levy, Best, Scheffler, Delmas, etc. really enough of a nucleus to "trust" going forward ? and without " upsetting the applecart " as far as coaching and front office changes ?
Also, the front office DID make attempts to upgrade the supposed weaknesses of the team this past off season. As in, they drafted three corners with NFL calibre athleticism, they went after special teams and linebacker help in the draft, they took BPA in the first round with a stud OT, they took a productive receiver in the second round to supposedly add to a "strength" of the team.
So, where exactly are we now ? The NFL is such an up-and-down league. The Giants looked like they had perennial talent last year and won the Super Bowl to prove it. This season though, they missed the playoffs. The Falcons were an easy first-round out last year and this year look really tough. The Seahawks and Redskins missed the playoffs entirely, and this year, both teams found a groove, to say nothing of the transformation of the Broncos and Colts.
Well those teams have great QBs now you say ? Well, Stafford is only 24 years old and lost almost his entire receiving corp after CJ, had a mediocre running game, and an also depleted defense that couldn't make key stops. So where does this leave us overall ?
For all those that say " we need defense . . . we need defense ", well, the Cowboys went out in free agency and the draft last off-season and got two of the best CB's anyone could ever hope to find, the final "missing pieces" they thought, and still, missed the playoffs.
Here's another thing too. Ya the Lions lost their last 8 games, but it was also 7 really close games against playoff caliber teams.
Other things to consider too: injuries to the receiving corp., injuries to the secondary, no Jahvid Best, TD Young flaking out. It was kind of a "cursed" season for a still "cursed" team. But really, how far away are we ?
I suppose I'm willing to still think that with a now #5 position in the draft, and a major free agency period coming up, that the glass is still somewhat half-full, and that any major shake ups in the FO or staff could be short sighted.
Other than the Fords talking Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells out of retirement to coach and GM this team, I don't know what else as far as major "moves" the Lions could make that would really make for an "improvement". Don't laugh, supposedly the Jets are considering Parcells as I write this.
Hopefully, 2012 was just a really tough " growing pains " type of a year for a team that has some major " growing up to do ".

At the October 16-17 Networks Exchange in New York, there were a number of questions with respect to Chattanooga project development. RSA-US Trustee and lead Fellow in Chattanooga David Turner responds here with an overview of each of the current projects underway and the different levels of network involvement and ownership:
• Art with Dad – led by Sharon Turner; completely Fellow-created and Fellow-led. The project received a catalyst start up grant.
• The Broken Windows Brigade – led by Trey Meyer; leveraged a small amount of support from the RSA network to get matching funds and considerable community support for improvements in a distressed housing project. A video created by Trey and his colleagues to promote the project within the community has since gone viral: http://vimeo.com/17167698 .
• The Chattanooga Stand project – Katherine Currin at Createhere, a local non-profit; benefitted from Fellows' advice on how to creatively use the massive amount of data gleaned from a community survey and visioning project; Katherine is now developing a grassroots support system.
• Reflection Riding Lectures at the Chattanooga Arboretum Bioblitz—led by Nelson Irvine, a fellow of 40 years (and a third-generation US Fellow); plans to re-institute the RSA Reflection Riding lecture series on environmental stewardship and conservation, begun and endowed in 1968 in London by his grandfather, John Chambliss. The re-launch is planned with the 5th Annual Bio Blitz in 2012.
• Scholarships: Over the past 12 months, the CHA network has offered small scholarships and grants to support participation in local programs, such as Museum memberships for Calvin Donaldson students, small travel stipends for fellows, and RSA membership scholarships for young professionals.

The Dr of the NFL's Fearless Forecast
AFC Championship Game-New England @ Denver
Is there some sort of immutable law that states that if, in the pre-season, you pick a team to go to the Super Bowl, that you are not allowed to pick against them in the championship game? If so, I'm in a difficult spot. Before the year began, my prognostication was a Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl, more on Seattle shortly, but I'm leaning against Brady and company today. Here's why. Too much is being made about last week when New England ran over Indianapolis. As we pointed out, Indy couldn't stop the run all year, so let's make LeGarrett Blount out to be Jim Brown just yet. The Broncos run defense has been stout all year [ranked 7th in NFL] and they will provide much more resistance than the Colts did. Look for Brady to come out throwing in this game vs. a porous Broncos secondary that just lost its' best corner in Chris Harris and is without their best pass rusher in Von Miller. I fully expect the Pats to consistently move the ball and Brady to amass at least 350 yards passing.
Bill Bellichick has a conundrum in this match up vs. Peyton, if he stacks his chips to stop Denver's running game, Manning will devour his secondary, and if he stays in a cover 2 to prevent the big play, Peyton will audible into a run and Knowshon Moreno and company will run up and down the field on a terrible Patriot run defense [ranked 30th in NFL]. People forget that because the Colts couldn't take advantage of it because they were a poor running team, Denver will.
In what promises to be a high scoring shootout, TD's over FG's will be the difference. Which team will convert in the Red Zone? Peyton completed 72% of his Red Zone passes and threw 37 red zone TD's with zero INT's during the regular season, look for that trend to continue. In addition, New England will be playing a road playoff game for the first time in 7 years. The Patriots are 1-5 vs. the spread in their last 6 road contests, and are 0-5 vs the number in their last 5 games played on glass. Broncos advance to the Super Bowl.
Denver 37 New England 30.
NFC Championship Game-San Francisco @ Seattle
I've been going back and forth on this one all week. Seattle's been the best team all year but the 49ers are red hot and playing better right now. Home field is huge in this one but the 49ers front 7 vs. Seattle's erratic O-line can quiet things down. Russell Wilson concerns me, he's not played well the last 4 or 5 games and he'll be without Percy Harvin. But Colin Kaepernick has been awful in both games he's played in this building.
As good as Seattle's defense is, you can run it occasionally on them. The 49ers ran for 163 yards in week 14 win against Seattle, can Gore and company repeat this on the road? This is the key to the game, if Gore is producing, the 49ers can sneak out with a win, if not, Seattle will pressure Kaepernick, contain his rushing lanes, and force him into mistakes. Much has been made of the 49ers resurgence on offense since the return of Michael Crabtree, but Richard Sherman will effectively eliminate him and Vernon Davis will have his hands full with Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas who are the best Safety tandem in the league.
I think San Francisco must get off to a healthy start to take the crowd out of it, otherwise things could snowball. Kaepernick completes just 54% of his passes when he's trailing. Their offense is built for long drives, not short ones. This is why Gore is the key to the game, by establishing the run and sending a physical message, it could set the 49ers up for the upset. We all know that Seattle is near invincible at home but San Francisco is better equipped than any other team to pull this off.
So who wins? In a game that promises to be a tight, low scoring affair, I think it's Seattle's year. I trust Russell Wilson more in this spot not to make a critical error than I do Kaepernick. If both teams struggle to run it, which I expect, it gets to which QB will avoid the big mistake. No defense is better than Seattle's at stopping the opposing QB, with the combination of pass rush and coverage ability. Look for Seattle's secondary to get the best of Kaepernick and with the homefield to back them, Seattle returns to the Super Bowl.
Seattle 19 San Francisco 13
This is one of those guilty pleasure movies, go to the theatre, buy some popcorn, turn your brain off and enjoy the disaster porn. It's "Twister" with better special effects. The film harkens back to those disaster films of the 70's, complete with laughable dialogue, 2 dimensional characters and ridiculous situations. But lets be real, the stars of this film are the tornadoes, and their epically huge and devastating. The director, Steven Quale uses the shaky-cam format, so everything is conceived as a point of view image, shot by one of the characters, and it does make it seem more real. Thankfully the film is relatively short, only 89 minutes, so the story moves along its predictable path, but has some genuine suspense. There's a nice moment where 2 characters, who sense their demise, record farewells. In addition, 2 crazy characters, right out of Hee-Haw, who will do anything for You Tube hits, are seen throughout the movie for the necessary comic relief. As disaster films go, Into The Storm delivers, it's well paced and the special effects are solid. Good dumb fun. **12 STARS
In an epic battle Novak Djokovic persevered and defeated Roger Federer in 5 thrilling sets 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4, to capture his second Wimbledon title, and thus regain the world number 1 ranking, while denying Federer his record breaking 8thAll England championship. While compelling, I wouldn't equate this match to the historic level of 1980 Borg-McEnroe or 2008 Nadal-Federer, which are perhaps the greatest finals in the long history of the tournament. Borg- McEnroe had John win the most famous tiebreaker ever 18-16 and then Bjorn shook that off and still prevailed in the 5thset 8-6. Remember also what was at stake, because Borg had won 4 in a row. In 2007 Federer had won 5 titles in a row and similar to Borg , Rafa overcame the adversity of losing 2 straight sets before winning 9-7 in the 5thset as darkness was setting in.
Sunday's match featured great shifts in momentum, and high quality play, 68 winners for Novak and only 24 unforced errors, and more remarkable 75 winners versus only 29 unforced errors for Roger. After splitting the first 2 tight sets, the third is where the Joker began to grasp victory. Federer really dominated the set. His serving was remarkable, even for him. He held his service very easily, pounding 13 aces and placing 83% of his first serves in. Nole 's service holds were more of a struggle, but he managed to grit his way thru it and get to the tiebreaker, where Federer made some uncustomary mistakes, spraying some forehands on key points. Roger had to be really discouraged after losing a set that he controlled. Seizing the momentum, Novak jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the fourth, and it appeared as if the title would be his shortly. But, handling prosperity has been an issue for Djokovic lately in major finals, and Nole once again tightened up and lost 5 straight games to lose the set. After 4 great sets, the match was on even terms.
This is where Novak got some level of redemption. As I stated, Djokovic's recent problems in major finals,[ 0-3 losing to Nadal in Paris and New York and to Murray last year here in London}, created the perception of a fragile psyche. Many at this point were questioning his Championship mettle, his 6-7 record in slam finals entering Sunday, was a testament to his seeming inability to seize the moment. For me, this is just nonsense. Djokovic is truly one of the all-time greats, he just has the misfortune of playing in the same era with perhaps the 2 greatest players in the open era{Nadal and Federer}. To his credit Novak overcame any doubts and outplayed Roger comprehensively in the 5thand decisive set. He captured his 7thmajor, which ties him with John McEnroe and Mats Wilander. That's not too shabby folks.
For Roger, a great run this year falls short. I don't know if at this stage of his remarkable career he can play any better. He served brilliantly, pulling out 29 aces and won 77% of his first serves in play, against an opponent who might be the best returner of serve to ever play. For a man of his age to look as good, with his balletic movement, power and precision, is just astonishing. However, there is a cold, stark and sobering reality here for the seven time champion. Like I always say on the show, championship tennis is a game for the young. Federer is about to turn 33 yrs old, which is fossilized in the world of tennis. Truthfully despite his great effort, Roger did finally start to show signs of fatigue in the 5thset, when he began to make several unforced mistakes. Additionally the weakest part of Federer's game has always been his return of serve, especially on the backhand side, and against Djokovic Sunday, he really struggled.
The bottom line here is that Djokovic did what he was supposed to do. He is 5 years younger than Roger, which is an eternity in tennis. Federer was bidding to become the oldest Wimbledon Champion of the open era, while Novak is right in the middle of his prime. As is often the case, youth was served.
No, I'm not suggesting that Serena, who is approaching 33 years of age, is starting to break down physically. What I'm referring to is being a victim of your own success. Serena through her incredible play, has set the bar so ridiculously high, {5 time Wimbledon Champion} that when she doesn't win every major, people question, "what's wrong"? Maybe it's because she's, you know, human? This weekend she lost 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 to the number 25 seed Alize' Cornet of France. Cornet had gone winless in 13 previous matches versus top 20 opposition in majors. Serena is 0-3 in the majors this year, losing to Ivanovic in Austalia in the 4thround, and the shocking upset loss to Muguruza in Paris in the second round. So now, due to her advancing age, you're hearing folks whisper about the end of Serena's dominance.
Fair or not , age is a legitimate concern. As I always say, father time is still undefeated. History suggests that winning another major will be tough, only Martina Navratilova won a slam title after her 32ndbirthday. But my money is on Serena. I still think that when she is motivated and at her best, there is no one on the tour that can touch her. I also bet that when Maria Sharapova got the news that Serena has lost, she began doing cartwheels! See you on the courts, I'm the fat guy grunting.....
Do you find that some deaths in sports hit you harder than others? When I got the sad news that the great Chuck Noll had passed, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I don't know about you, but I find that when someone in sports that affected me in my childhood expires, it adds significance. It's as if my youth has been taken away. Those Steelers teams of the 70's were MY TEAMS as a kid. Growing up around mostly Giants and Jets fans, and rooting for a team that previous to Noll's arrival , was a laughing stock, I had to endure a lot of ribbing from my friends. In retrospect it's funny how after the Steelers rose to become, what I believe, is the greatest team of all time , many of the same kids who ridiculed them became fans.
Super Bowl Wins
Is Noll perhaps the most "underrated" great coach ever? Perhaps he doesn't get the credit he deserves because Noll did it with class and dignity, and without pretentious self promotion. Current Steelers coach Mike Tomlin likes to use the phrase "the standard is the standard", well that standard that he is referring to IS Chuck Noll. God Bless Chuck, and thank you......
The Dr of the NFL's divisional playoff predictions
Saints at Seahawks.
In order for the Saints to pull off the upset, they must be able to run the football like last week vs. the Eagles. If Drew Brees doesn't have some balance and throws it 50 times, expect a couple of interceptions and a thumping similar to the first time these two teams met. Meantime, Seattle's offense has struggled toward the end of the season. I think the return of Percy Harvin will open up the field for Golden Tate, Zach Miller, and Doug Baldwin, plus New Orleans defense has been decimated by injuries to all 3 linebackers and 3 starting defensive backs. I picked Seattle in the pre-season to go to the Super Bowl and I see no reason to change now. Seattle 23 New Orleans 20.
49ers at Panthers.
The 49ers might be peaking at the right time, they've won 7 in a row and they play well on the road [7-2]. This match-up features 2 championship caliber defenses, and the game should be a slug-fest. Both defenses should be able to contain each other's running game and both must be mindful of QB scrambles. They must keep Kaepernick and Newton home in the pocket and not lose contain because both QB's can kill a defense with their legs. The difference to me is that San Francisco has more weapons outside at their disposal, especially with the return of Michael Crabtree. The Panthers will be limited due to Steve Smith's injury, therefore, Brandon Lafell and Ted Ginn must make plays to help Cam out. Despite the fact that Cam has 4 fourth quarter comebacks this year, I think San Francisco will learn from the loss earlier in the year against Carolina and Harbaugh will make some adjustments. The 49ers will enact revenge setting up and NFC title game with Seattle. Would be fitting since both have been the best teams in the conference all year. San Francisco 24 Carolina 13.
Colts at Patriots.
The mere presence of both teams in this playoff game is really a testament to the excellence of both QB's. They lead teams with modestly talented defenses and banged up receiving options. I believe the winner of the game will be decided by the team that is able to run the ball most effectively. I think LaGarrette Blount and Steven Ridley will be the difference in a tight game. The Colts' defense has really struggled to stop the run [26th in NFL]. Look for the Colts to have success running it as well. The Pats' interior defense has really been compromised by injuries, losing WIlfork, Tommy Kelly, and Brandon Spikes. This game will come down to the 4th quarter and many think this could be the passing of the torch at QB. I think it's coming, but not just yet. Patriots 30 Colts 27.
Chargers at Broncos.
Those that believe that San Diego doesn't have a chance in this game haven't been paying attention. These are divisional opponents that are very familiar with each other. These teams have split 2 games, and in those 2 games, The Chargers were able to dominate time of possession and keep Peyton off the field. Look for more of the same. Denver's defense is suspect to begin with and without Von Miller, they'll get no pass rush vs. Philip Rivers who, in his last 7 games is on fire [14 TDS. 2 INTS]. While I expect this to be up for grabs in the 4th Quarter, I still think Denver prevails because Manning will score TDS while Rivers will kick field goals in a tightly contested game. Denver 37 Chargers 31

A 13-year-old boy is fighting for his life after getting thrown off his all terrain vehicle in Waterford. It happened around 7:30 p.m. on Seroka Rd.
Waterford assistant fire chief Harry Latta said the young boy was driving the ATV at a high rate of speed on the dirt road. He eventually lost control, crashing into a metal post and then a tree head on.
"They're really not meant for the road. They're for recreational purposes and on trails and that but these individuals were riding on a roadway at a high rate of speed which most definitely attributed to the injury," said Latta.
Luckily the boy was wearing a helmet, but it did come off during the crash. He suffered a closed head injury and was airlifted to UPMC Hamot. He was listed in critical condition.

The latest from the Baseball Winter Meetings brings us this nugget about the Atlanta Braves trying to get in on the Chicago White Sox supposed fire sale, currently underway. This Chicago Sun-Times ChiSox beat writer has the scoop.
Matt Thornton is a very solid reliever, and candidate for setup man, from the White Sox. He's a lefty, but like Venters and EOF, Thornton can get out both righties (.231 career BAA) and lefties (.229 career BAA). He's also done some closing of games. He's proven to be durable and pretty darn reliable year after year. He got off to a rough start last season, but was able to right the ship and put together another solid season.
The White Sox want prospects in return, so the Braves could deal from their still-excellent depth of pitching prospects while not giving up any of their top guys. Thornton is signed respectably for the next two season at $5.5 million each year, with a $6 million team option for 2014. That seems expensive for the Braves, but like they did with Scott Linebrink last year, the Braves may be able to get Chicago to pick up some of the remaining salary (especially for 2012) in return for a better prospect.
By the way, the prospect we traded to Chicago for Linebrink, Kyle Coefield, became a minor league free agent this off-season and signed with the Pirates.
David O'Brien buzz-kills the Thornton rumor pretty quickly, though not definitively:
There could be several hang-ups here -- money that Chicago is willing to send along, and prospect they want in return. Of course, he just tweeted this:
"That's so bogus, man!" Oh well, fun while it lasted, all 30 minutes.

Serves 36 as hors d'oeuvres, 8 to 10 as buffet portions, or 6 for a sit-down dinner| Hands-On Time: | Total Time:
- 1 4-pound fillet of beef
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Remove the fillet from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to bring it to room temperature. Preheat oven to 500° F and position a rack in the center.
- Spread the mustard evenly on all sides of the fillet. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat the oil in a 12-inch
ovenproof skillet over high heat; the oil should shimmer but not smoke. Brown the fillet on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per
side. Place the fillet in oven and reduce temperature to 425° F. Roast about 25 minutes for rare or until a meat thermometer
reads 130° F when inserted into the center. (Check the temperature once after about 20 minutes to gauge doneness.) Remove

Quick Tip
Beef tenderloin is best served rare―130° F on a meat thermometer. The term "instant-read meat thermometer" is misleading. Read the thermometer about 3 minutes after sticking it into the meat for the most accurate reading. When buying a fillet, request it trimmed and tied. If you have to tie it yourself, tuck a few inches of the thinnest end of the fillet under, then wrap it with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals.

Facing a tough Oklahoma team on the road, Wayne Selden was not about to let the No. 18 Kansas Jayhawks lose their second straight game. The freshman scored 24 points and made a huge hustle play to help the Jayhawks pull away down the stretch, 90-83.
Selden shot 9-17 on the day for a new career best, surpassing his previous high of 15 points. While he is considered the third most notable freshman on Bill Self's roster behind Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, the 6'5 guard is proving why Kansas' recruiting class was so deep this year.
The Sooners continued their streak of playing tough against ranked opponents; they held their own against Michigan State on a neutral floor earlier in the season. Cameron Clark scored 32 points for Oklahoma, including 12 makes on 16 trips to the free-throw line.
The Jayhawks improve to 10-4 on the season, starting off the conference season with a win. Kansas is seeking its tenth straight Big 12 title.

Remarks Gears Up For Opening (09-Jun-09)
The Remarkables, New Zealand, June 9, 2009 - Queenstown is gearing up for the opening of its youngest ski area
Queenstown is gearing up for the opening of its youngest ski area, The Remarkables on Saturday June 20.
Conditions at the ski area are looking good for opening day due to exceptional May snowfall topped up by snowmaking over the last couple of weeks, according to Ross Lawrence, Ski Area Manager.
Mr Lawrence said that locals had been visiting the ski area since the first snow fell in May.
"We're hoping the weather works in our favour over the next 10 days so that we can maintain our great base for some excellent skiing and riding come opening day on 20 June," he said. "Everyone is already excited about this season, people have been coming up to catch some pre-season snow, and loving it."
Mr Lawrence said there has been a huge amount of effort and investment in improving The Remarkables over the summer, particularly in family and beginner areas.
"Every season we try and improve, and this season we're particularly happy to open our expanded Skiwiland Early Learning Centre - we're looking forward to welcoming young children and their families along with all other skiers and riders from opening day."
New this year is the FReemarkables bus where all holders of day and multiday passes are entitled to free transport to The Remarkables from Queenstown Snow Centre. The base building has been reorganised and the road improved with the installation of 3.6 kilometres of new barriers.

In an effort to bring renovations to Kelly Park back under budget, the Wheaton Park District supported a measure to remove restrooms from the proposed east and west shelters, shaving about $150,000 off the price tag.
During their November meeting, commissioners by Commissioners Phil Luetkehans and John Kelly to reach an agreement with Edison Middle School to keep their restrooms open. The district also opted to re-open bids for construction costs for the park after previous bids came in too high. The , about 26 percent above the expected price tag of $754,000.
Make sure to follow Wheaton Patch on Facebook for the latest news and discussion, and sign up for the free daily newsletter!
The park district began planning the project after receiving a $754,000 state grant from the Open Space Lands Acquisition Development (OSLAD) Grant Program in 2010. The grant program provides for a 50 percent reimbursement for the park district's work and after initial reductions to the project's scope, the grant amount was reduced to $714,500.
Some residents spoke out against the proposed renovations. Sue Kirby called the proposed renovations an unnecessary use of tax dollars. Kirby, who has been a vocal opponent of the renovations at many park district meetings, urged the board to reject the grant money for renovations. She said her vision of the park is one of beautiful open spaces.
Last year residents concerned with the Wheaton Park District's plans for renovations to Kelly Park, launched the "Friends of Kelly Park" website to alert neighbors to concerns for how the changes to the park could affect the neighborhood.
Commissioners also tabled discussing bids for shelters and a new ice rink. Hargrave Builders, Inc. bid $89,900 for new shelters and FBG Corporation bid $217,000 for the ice rink. According to a memo, staff recommended the board approve the bids.
Kim VanderSchaaf opposed the ice rink and said the district erects an ice rink at the park each year for a cost of about $3,000. She said maintaining a temporary structure is more economical than the proposed rink.
In a letter to the board of commissioners, Wheaton resident and neighbor of Kelly Park, Jason Christensen wrote that the new rink would change the dynamic of the park by bringing in more competitive ice sports.
"A new rink would change this dynamic and skating would become much more competitive not allowing for causal neighborhood skating," Christensen wrote.
In the spring of 2010 the park district approved a plan for the park, which included an indoor "shelter" restroom area, a water spray feature, multi-sport courts, a half court basketball area—which would be used as a skating rink in the winter, and bike parking. The original plan for Kelly Park included angled parking along Main Street, but residents were concerned the parking would increase traffic. The park district then proposed a plan that included a parking lot within the park itself, but that was not well received because the plan would reduce green space.
Park District Executive Director Mike Benard said the commissioners discuss the bids again at the December board meeting.

CC Sabathia placed on DL
For the first time in his Yankee career CC Sabathia will not be that horse taking the mound.
The Yankees announced Wednesday morning before their day game with the Indians that they will place Sabathia on the 15-day disabled list with a strained abductor muscle in his left leg. He is expected to miss two starts and return after the All-Star break.
"He doesn't want to go on [the DL], but he understands it's the best thing to do," manager Joe Girardi said. "Missing two starts is better than seven or eight."
Sabathia struggled in his last start against the Mets, but there was no hint of injury. He went 5 2/3 innings and allowed nine hits. He surrendered five runs, but only one was earned.
"The bottom line is he felt sometime during the Mets game and didn't tell anyone about it; then did his bullpen yesterday," general manager Brian Cashman said. "That's when he still felt something and that's when he told us about it. So during the game last night, we sent him over to get an MRI to kind of get a feel for what we're dealing with and [he] had a low-grade strain so better safe than sorry."
"I knew it was hurt and I wanted to see if I could go out and try to pitch," Sabathia said. "Yesterday in the bullpen, I still felt it as intense as I did on Sunday. So I figured I'd better say something before Friday when I get out there in the bullpen because that would put us in a real tough spot."
Girardi said he wasn't at all mad that Sabathia didn't immediately come to him after feeling the pain initially.
"These guys if they had an issue every time they felt something and came in and told me they'd be in there everyday and they'd wear me out," Girardi said. "I wouldn't be able to take it and I'd say 'enough' because I'd have 25 guys coming in. So they know their bodies and he was smart. After the Tuesday bullpen session, he knew that it was something more than maybe just a twinge and came in and told us."
He has thrown over 100 pitches in every start this season, including a complete game win over the Braves on June 18.
One of the selling points when the Yankees signed Sabathia prior to the 2009 season was his ability to take the ball every five days all season. He made 34 starts his first two seasons in New York and 33 last year. The last time he missed a start was in April 2006 when he was on Cleveland. He re-signed for one more year this past November after using the opt out clause in his contract as a negotiating chip. He has five years and $122 million left on his deal including this season.
"[Trainer Steve Donahue] was telling me, CC was like, 'Maybe I'll miss a start, I don't know about DL.' So I said start preparing because I'll be here tomorrow morning and he's going on the DL," Cashman said. "I came in here and it was a one-way conversation. I did all the talking. I know what he wants to do, but that's what we're going to do."
Adam Warren, a 24-year-old prospect from North Carolina, will join the team Thursday and start Friday while Freddy Garcia will start Monday in Tampa Bay. Warren is 5-5 with a 3.86 ERA in 15 starts for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes-Barre.
"That's what we're leaning towards, but it's not official," Cashman said before Wednesday's game. "So I'll let him get all excited."

Ever have a high school class with a mock stock picking contest? If not, you probably didn't get the headstart that some kids received in their financial education. But your kids don't need a class to teach them about the stock market; you can teach them the basics of investing yourself with a little bit of old fashioned home schooling and you should try to make it fun, interesting and challenging.
Everybody knows the phrase Cash is King, but even bright, smart financial advisors seem to forget that everything else is subservient to the king. Everything. I've often seen advice doled out that flies in the face of this one simple rule. What is it about this rule that people just don't get?
Wouldn't it be nice to turn back the clock and take everything that you learned about finances in the last ten, twenty or thirty years and give them out as cliff notes to your son, daughter, grandkids or a friend's kid at the beginning of their adult life? Right now, they're probably more interested in getting their next date, figuring out what they want to do in life or which fraternity is going to have the best Winter party. But as the holidays approach and they are on holiday break, you have a chance to impart some personal financial wisdom on them. Of all the gifts you give them this year, the gift of financial wisdom might end up being the one they remember the most.
Good news from Washington. Even though we lost jobs in November, the unemployment rate dropped from 10.2% to 10.0%. Is this the start of an economic recovery? Many journalist have reported this as "unexpected." But what is really unexpected is how the government gets to report a decline in unemployment even as the economy continues to shed jobs.
The best way to judge the wisdom of whatever an economist predicts is to look back at their collective record. How many of them predicted the financial meltdown and the bursting of the housing bubble? How many of them predicted that the official unemployment rate would top 10% and how many of them saw the rapid decline in the value of the dollar?
A frustrated Harry Truman once screamed at his economic advisers "give me a one-handed economist! All my economists say - on the one hand and on the other."

Birthplace of Alaska's 1964 Earthquake: Prince William Sound, June 8 - 15, 2014
50 years ago this March, the largest magnitude earthquake recorded in North America (9.2), second-largest worldwide, occurred in Alaska. The 1964 Alaska "Good Friday" earthquake ushered in a paradigm shift in earth science, convincing most earth scientists that plate tectonic theory best explains the dynamic behavior of Earth's crust.
OLLI at University of Alaska Fairbanks invites members of other OLLIs to join a once-in-a-lifetime cruise of Prince William Sound to visit the birthplace of the great earthquake. Cost is $3180 per person.

text: Alright guys, alot has been going on this short off season. Never in a million years would I think that after finishing 8-8 Oakland would be in a downfall like it appears we are right now. First, we get rid of Cable. Yeah guys, I was pissed just like everyone else, but just like everyone else too, I think bringing in Hue would keep continuity...and I also think it's imperative that we keep John Marshall as DC. But let's look at Cable, yeah we went 8-8, but what about the losses to Miami and SF?...just too inconsistent man. Now here comes the news about Nnamdi, I really dont know what to think. Why Oakland would put those incentives in that contract to void it, I mean, idk man. It's gonna be a heart breaker if we don't resign him and I personally wouldn't blame him if he went to a proven winning team, he is about to be 30 and is running out of years. He shut down half the field and fit perfectly in Oaklands system cause the man was straight shut down 24/7. If Nnamdi isnt back, I'm sure we will bring in a decent free agent, not even close to Nnamdis talent, but we'll have someone out there playing CB. Then on to all the free agents we might lose. I don't see us losing Zach Miller, if we don't get him resigned I see him being tagged. Huff has been playing pretty well these past couple years, but if he goes, Mike Mitchell or Stevie Brown would step up. If Gallery goes, we bring in a FA or see if Bruce Campbell can play after not playing for a year. I think Routt could be replaced with another FA or Jeremy Ware. If Bush goes that would be a painful loss just cause of his physical presence, but we could replace with him a rookie or FA with that same type of play, a physical back to spell McFadden. And on to Seymour, I just don't see us letting him go after giving up a 1st round pick so he'll def. be back. I just took a look at our main players that we might lose, all of them that is, and let's face it, we'll bring most of these guys back I bet. But Raider fans lets look at what we'll have in 2011. Our O will have McFadden, Reece, Jason Campbell (who will only play better next year for us, and who is in my opinion a decent game manager with an arm), Veldheer, Ford, Murphy, Schilens (finally was healthy the last couple games and if he can stay healthy, can be a No. 1 receiver) Z. Miller (we won't let him go) and our D will have almost everyone back. ONE HUGE THING TO LOOK AT TOO IS OUR SCHEDULE. We get NE and NYJ at home. SD and KC both play at NE and at NYJ. Our AFC north team that we play is Cleveland, while KC gets PIT and SD gets BAL. So out of the top teams in the AFC (oak, sd, and kc) we have the easiest schedule. I think we'll be fine next year guys, I really do. Let me know what you guys think.

750ml bottle purchased in Brussels from Biermania.
Pours a deep, dark brown and make a full bubbly offwhite head, leaves a spattering of lace on my glass. Aroma is loaded with barnyard funk, a bit of roasted malts, vinegar, quite sour. Really interesting flavor profile, I'm tasting chocolate and deep, dark roasted malts and an incredible balance of bretty sour tones. This is almost like an imperial lambic stout. Sour cherries and chocolate are prevalent. Delicious! Tart and astringent, medium bodied with a very dry finish. Peppery carbonation. What a nice beer, it was the only bottle shelved at Biermania when I was in Brussels and it is great. I would definitely try it again if given the opportunity.
Just judging by the fact that this brew is retired... it aged incredibly well. If you have one in your cellar, give it a go because it is definitely peaking!

The beer poured into the chalice crystal clear dark amber brown with a tan, tall head which fell slowly and laced the glass.
The aroma was slightly winey with chocolate and slight Belgian farmhouse aromas. The beer contained a slight chocolate aroma and some pronouced earthiness.
The flavor was winey and acidic with slight sourness and a slight molasses flavor. The molasses flavor transformed into a slight smokiness in the final incantation. Some cherrylike flavors were present as was the same earthy flavor as was noted in the aroma.
The finish was dry with lasting winey and smoky to almost roasty flavors. The body was medium light to light and watery. The carboantion seemed less than expected.
750 ml bottle purchased at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. Interesting, but not a winner. The beer did become more interesting as it warmed and better over time.

A special bottling and considering that I am very much a part of the Burgundian Babble Belt I feel quite special to partake in this Fantome.
Dark Amber.
Hints of cherries, mixed nuts, Fantome Funk, deep roasted malt and odd spicing.
A nice blend of malt, spices and hops. Notes of maple, apple, wood, spices and citrus fruits. A nice beer, but this is lacking the usual Fantome magic.

Liked the touch with the double capping- cap with a cork also... Poured out a rootbeery color with a teensy bit of head that sat in the corners. Alot of carbination in the mouthfeel, almost a little too much for me. Scents and tastes of port wine and sherry, verrrry nice. Alot of biteyness...
Such good flavors and scents to this one... one for savoring, thinking about... enjoying... yum!

Deep brown pour. Almost no head which is a shame for fantôme. Just a thin light brown cover. Big aroma of dark malts, caramelic and brown chocolate reminding. Rhubard and grassy hints. Gentle rhubard-like acidity on dances on the tongue. Very yeasty flavors whih are matched with a high quantity of candi sugar and spices (ginger, cloves, mint). Sweet chocolate and toffee flavors here may be even weirder than the atypical yeastiness considering the marriage with acidity. Honest bitter finish. Rather thick body, lower than average carbonation for fantôme. It makes me think of a more bitter and less sour black ghost.. which is, needless to say, a praise! Cheers to RoyalT!

Burgundian Babbler Belt Babillard Dark was served from a 750ml corked and capped green bottle. In a Duvel tulip, the beer was a murky molten-caramel brown, and was topped by a thin fine tan head that left nice sheets of lacing. The nose was intriguing and assertive, presenting a sour crisp clove-musty ripe pear maltiness. The flavor followed the nose closely, though it was much drier than anticipated. The lightly roasty soft pear-malt backbone had a refreshing, lighty acidic touch. The tart-pear flavor slowly increased in bitterness until a dry, refreshing, robustly bittered finish hit, leaving a lingering pronounced tannic pear and cherry essence...with a touch of creamy roastiness falling out at the very end? I found all of this to be strange yet very interesting and refreshingly enjoyable. Still, compared to other Fantome brews, it was less dimensional and balanced...and didn't have nearly enough of that amazing Fantome flavor. Though as it warmed, a number of nice subleties became apparent in the finish...which yielded most of the flavor enjoyment of the beer. The body was very smooth, full, and well carbonated, matching well with the flavors and providing an interesting contrast and balance with the acidic bitter crispness of the finish. Desptie the flaws, I found this beer to be nicely drinkable and worthwhile. Yet another original creation from the Fantome farmhouse!
Big thanks to skyhand for hooking me up with another from my favorite brewery!

3.23/5 rDev -17%
Appearance: ruddy brownish red, a bit hazy, quite dark, a thin layer of tan foam develops on a hard pour
Aroma: roasty and bready (like pumpernickel), licorice, soy sauce, a bit musty, very light hops, yeast
Flavor: dry malt base with an acidic palate, corky and musty, wood tannin bitterness, slight herbal flavor, coffee, not much sweetness anywhere, finishes dry and acidic with some of that resinous flavor lingering
Mouthfeel: medium body, a bit astringent, alcohol warmth, gentle carbonation
Overall Impression: Dark saisons are few and far between and Fantome is definitely one of the pioneers of this style. It's a good beer, but the roastiness doesn't quite match with the acidic, earthiness of saison yeast. This beer reminds me a bit of La Tongrinnoise (from Br. Tongrinnoise), but I liked that beer a little more.

This one tasted grassy to me, I really don't have much to say about this dark Fantome ale. I liked it, but it didn't impress me much. It was a nice dark brown colour with a nice big head. It smelled like the outdoors, herbal more than spicy I think. It tasted much like it smelled, mustardy, and like wild greens, a teeny bit bitter. A good mouthfeel, nice consistency. That I liked. I would drink it again, but nothing really popped out at me with this one.

This brew is a dark, murky brown colour with a nice, fluffy white head. The aromas are of mustard, dill, various other spices, and the typical farmyard aromas of a Belgian farmhouse ale. The taste is a nice blend of the afforementioned spices, light hops, and some deeper-than expected, roasted malts. The mouthfeel is quite light, but not totally watery, and the drinkability is decent, but not unbelievable, all in all this is a nice beer from Fantome, but nothing compared to some of their others!

With our big news, and the news that Oregon's likely 1st round DB is returning, I thought it might be interesting to see how each team in the conference stacks up in terms of returning all-conference players, taking into account declared intents to enter the NFL draft. Obviously this could change somewhat, with the declaration deadline still more than a week away. But as of this moment...
UCLA- Myles Jack (2nd team LB, offensive and defensive freshman of the year), Ryan Hoffmeister (2nd team special teams), Jake Brendel (Hon mention OL), Jayon Brown (Hon mention special teams), Sean Covington (Hon mention P), Thomas Duarte (Hon mention TE), Devin Fuller (Hon mention WR), Randall Goforth (Hon mention DB), Brett Hundley (Hon mention QB), Anthony Jefferson (Hon mention DB), Eric Kendricks (Hon mention LB), Ellis McCarthy (Hon mention DL), Fabian Moreau (Hon mention DB), Alex Redmond (Hon mention OL), Eddie Vanderdoes (Hon mention DL)
Arizona- Ka'Deem Carey (1st team RB, offensive player of the year), Wade Phillips (Hon mention WR), Jared Tevis (Hon mention DB), Scooby Wright (Hon mention LB)
Arizona State- Taylor Kelly (2nd team QB), Jaelen Strong (2nd team WR), Jamil Douglas (2nd team OL), Carl Bradford (2nd team LB), Zane Gonzalez (1st team PK), D.J. Foster (Hon mention special teams), De'Marieya Nelson (Hon mention special teams)
Cal- Jared Goff (Hon mention QB), Bryce Treggs (Hon mention WR)
Colorado- Mike Adkins (Hon mention RB), Addison Gillam (Hon mention LB), Will Oliver (Hon mention PK)
Oregon- Marcus Mariota (1st team QB), Hroniss Grasu (1st team OL), Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (1st team DB), Erick Dargan (2nd team special teams), Bralon Addison (Hon mention WR), Tyler Johnstone (Hon mention OL), Derrick Malone (Hon mention LB), Byron Marshall (Hon mention RB), Tony Washington (Hon mention DL)
Oregon State- Isaac Seumalo (2nd team OL), Connor Hamlett (Hon mention TE), Sean Mannion (Hon mention QB), Ryan Murphy (Hon mention DB), Steven Nelson (Hon mention DB), Terron Ward (Hon mention special teams)
Stanford- Ty Montgomery (2nd team WR, 1st team kick returner), Andrus Peat (2nd team OL), Alex Carter (Hon mention DB), Jordan Richards (Hon mention DB)
$C- Leonard Williams (1st team DL), Hayes Pullard (2nd team LB), Soma Vainuku (1st team special teams), Nelson Agholor (2nd team kick returner, Hon mention WR), Kris Albarado (Hon mention K), Javorius Allen (Hon mention RB), Su'a Cravens (Hon mention DB), Xavier Grimble (Hon mention TE), Cody Kessler (Hon mention QB), Josh Shaw (Hon mention DB), J.R. Tavai (Hon mention DL), Max Tuerk (Hon mention OL)
Utah- Tom Hackett (1st team P), Dres Anderson (Hon mention WR), Andy Phillips (Hon mention K), Jason Whittingham (Hon mention LB)
Washington- Hau'oli Kikaha (2nd team DL), Marcus Peters (2nd team DB), Dexter Charles (Hon mention OL), Mike Criste (Hon mention OL), Micah Hatchie (Hon mention OL), Danny Shelton (Hon mention DL), Shaq Thompson (Hon mention LB)
Washington State- River Cracraft (Hon mention WR)
Summing up by the numbers- UCLA (counting Jack as defense) offense 5, defense 7, special teams 2 = 14
Arizona offense 2, defense 2 = 4
Arizona State offense 3, defense 1, special teams 3 = 7
Cal offense 2
Colorado offense 1, defense 1, special teams 1 = 2
Oregon offense 5, defense 3, special teams 1 = 9
Oregon State offense 3, defense 2, special teams 1 = 6
Stanford offense 2, defense 2 = 4
$C offense 5, defense 5, special teams 2 = 12
Utah offense 1, defense 1, special teams 2 = 4
Washington offense 3, defense 4 = 7
Washington State offense 1
A couple of observations- In terms of sheer numbers, we have more returning players with at least honorable mention all conference status than any other team.
In terms of sheer numbers, $C is 2nd. I would argue that the $C whole is less than the sum of the parts. When the players line up for the opening game, they will be on their 3rd coach in 13 games. No thanks.
Stanford's phenomenal senior class, who for the true freshmen who graduated only ever played in BCS bowl games, is gone. They now have only 4 players returning with at least honorable mention all conference status. Kevin Hogan is not on this list. But even with him, there will be some major major holes to fill.

Scientists onboard the International Space Station will be studying caterpillars in space and so will some kids in Galesburg. Their mission: to compare the insects in space to those here on Earth. It's an out-of-this-world way to learn more about Monarch butterflies.
Fourth grade science teacher Roxanne Green says the kids are excited about the project,
"We listen with baited breath to see the reports and the kids say, 'they're not talking about Monarchs'. I say, 'they have a lot of other projects, not the foremost thing on their minds,' but it is for us."
That's because the class got its own collection of caterpillars. The students are supposed to chart their progress on Earth, while scientists watch what happens to the caterpillars in space and then share that information with the kids.
Will the caterpillars in orbit turn into butterflies, just like they do on Earth? No one knows for sure, but the children are anxious to learn the results.
"It's fun to learn what they can do in space, said student Baylee Bramlett. "So, I'm excited to learn that."
A couple of days after the shuttle docks with the ISS, the kids will start getting updates on what's happening. In the meantime, the young scientists have their own theories about what to expect.
"I don't think it will be able to fly cause there's no gravity, cause their wings push up and there is no air in space," deduced Connor Larson.
Green has been teaching her students about Monarchs for several years. When she found out about this experiment, she jumped at the chance to bring it to her classroom.
"It's exciting to know that you are doing something that someone has spent hours researching and organizing and testing, and we're trying to replicate it here," Green added.

The different types of coal depends on the organic maturity of plant remains. This maturity obviously happens during the geologic ages and produced different types of coal that offer different characteristics (color, hardness, oxygen, hydrogen and sulphur balance). These different types of coal are consequently used for different purposes.
Starting from the peat, the first output of the conversion process is the lignite (also known as "brown coal"). The continuing effects of temperature and pressure might transform lignite into sub-bituminous coals. Sub-bituminous coal might become harder and blacker, being then converted into bituminous coal (also known as "hard coal"); anthracite coal being is at the end of the evolution chain, containing the lowest rate of impurities.

Transport for London says Crossrail 2 planning needs to begin now
Transport for London has backed the plan to build a second Crossrail link across London. The organisation says a new link is needed because of population growth and the extra passengers using Euston after the High Speed Two rail link is finished to Euston.
But TfL's Managing Director for Planning, Michele Dix, says construction on Crossrail 2 will only start after the first Crossrail link is finished in 2018.

Diana Nyad completes Cuba to Florida swim
Woman, 64, completes 5th attempt at historic swim
(CNN) -- Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad reached the shores of Key West on Monday afternoon, becoming the first person to swim Cuba to Florida without a shark cage.
This was the 64-year-old's fifth attempt since 1978.
Dozens of onlookers -- some in kayaks and boats, others wading in the water or standing on shore -- cheered her on as she wrapped up the swim.
As the team called her around dawn for her first feeding since midnight, she took longer than normal to reach the support boat, the report said.
Though she slurred her speech, the words were understandable. Before resuming her swim-crawl to Key West, her team applied a "sting stopper" substance to her forehead and cheeks in the hopes of warding off jellyfish stings.
"Don't get it on my nose or eyes," she said, according to her website.
Jellyfish stings have helped thwart her attempts before, so divers are swimming ahead of her, collecting jellyfish and moving them out of Nyad's path.
When instructed Monday morning to follow the path that's been cleared for her, she flashed her sense of humor, replying: "I've never been able to follow it in my life," according to the website.
Nyad's home stretch followed an overnight in which she became so cold, the team didn't stop her for feeding until first light "in the hopes that swimming would keep her warm," the website said.
Every stroke she swims puts her deeper into record territory. On Sunday night she broke Penny Palfrey's record for the farthest anyone has managed on the trek without a shark cage.
In 1997, Australian Susie Maroney completed the swim from within a shark cage. She was 22 at the time.
Nyad's website reported the leaders of her five-boat support team were planning her final route into Key West, taking into account tides, currents, shipping lanes, reefs and "swarms of jellyfish."
"Diana has stopped numerous times to tread water trying to restore herself," Nyad's navigator, John Bartlett, said in a website post at 5 a.m., 44 hours into the swim.
Nyad has been wearing a jellyfish protection suit, and also has available a special mask to prevent jellyfish stings to her tongue -- a key factor in her failed attempt in August 2012.
Thunderstorms also helped thwart her last year.
The weather this weekend was much better until 11 p.m. Sunday, when the support team reported winds rose suddenly and a thunderstorm appeared headed toward Nyad's path.
But just before 1 a.m. Monday, the team reported on Twitter: "Diana is swimming strong, everyone is safe, the winds are dying down, and we think we see the glow of Key West! "
Bartlett wrote on her website earlier that a favorable Gulf Stream had helped her achieve an average speed of 2.2 miles per hour.
Bartlett said currents will be "smaller but less predictable" as Nyad nears Florida.
Handler Bonnie Stoll wrote on the site Sunday that Nyad was in good spirits.
"The only concern is that she is throwing up everything she eats. She's quite nauseous from sea salt, but that's to be expected," said Stoll. "We're giving her enough calories and nutrition. We're just going to keep feeding her, and we hope that some of it is going down. She's not weak. Her stroke count hasn't changed."
Nyad set out from Havana at 8:59 a.m. Saturday with a crew of 35, including divers to watch for sharks.
The Los Angeles woman has said this is her final attempt. She said on her website that she wants to prove "it's never too late to chase your dream."
