Signed Jarret Jack and Carl Landry. Resigned Rush. Picked up three rookies in the draft that could actually be meaningful role players down the road. Didn't pay anyone insane money they didn't deserve.
So, to anyone with a longer memory than mine—have we ever had an offseason that went this well before? I certainly can't think of one.

I don't plan on posting every single video that comes out of Camp McCain, but the video shown below is one that was especially interesting to me. It was posted on Monday making it ancient in the political blogging realm, but perhaps many of you have not seen it yet. It's creative, effective, and not your run-of-the-mill campaign ad. I give props to the McCain media folks for thinking outside of the side on this one.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)—La Crosse Committee of the Whole gave its okay Tuesday night to move forward with Powell Hood Hamilton/Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center Joint Neighborhood and Campus Plan; this after a presentation from consultants, Perkins and Will, of the final draft of the plan.
The full council will vote on the plan Thursday.
Gundersen Lutheran's board will look at the plan once council approves it.
The next step is to begin work. They'll start by forming a joint development corporation that will over see implementing the plan.
One of the first changes the plan calls for is more connections, like sidewalks and intersections.
"There was a lack of connectivity on the southern site," David Green, Principal, Perkins and Will said. "By creating more connection, we're proposing we can double the level of connectivity which allows people to move through."
Right now, the neighborhood has 90 intersections per square mile, the proposal found 185 possible.
"We want to connect to downtown," Michael Richards, Executive Director of External Affairs, Gundersen Lutheran said. "We want neighbors to feel connected to us, whether that's a bike option or crossing."
They also want to make the neighborhood safer so people feel comfortable walking around, using those new connections.
"Whether it's a real or perceived issue in the neighborhood," Richards said. "It's an issue that needs to be addressed. One option is lighting."
The consultants used Chattanooga, Tenn. as an example where they added new LED street lights and eliminated almost all night time crime.
"Many of these things can be done very simply with out a lot of capital investment," Green said.
Green said improving the Powell Hood Hamilton Neighborhood will benefit everyone, not just the people living in that area.
"It's going to start bringing people into La Crosse as a cultural and entertainment hub," Green said. "So it actually benefits everybody from an economic perspective, cultural perspective and health perspective."
Consultants wrote the final draft of the plan with room for changes as the area grows. It can act as a model of transformation for the entire city, expanding out from Powell Hood Hamilton to adjacent neighborhoods.
Since the plan is written to take place over the next decade, consultants said there is no way to know the final cost of the revitalization.
It will be paid for in part through a TIF district, meaning tax dollars paid to the city by Gundersen Lutheran will stay in that neighborhood.

I had this big bunch of carrots that were quickly becoming not-so-fresh, even though they were freshly-dug when I picked them up at the produce stand. I'd left them sitting in the fridge for almost too long but couldn't bear to throw them out so I came up with this basic soup, a variation on a lot of my soups. Cook veggies, puree at least some of it, stir in cream. The veggies and herbs might vary and sometimes I leave out the cream, but the idea is the same and it's nearly foolproof. Feel free to mix this one up according to what sounds good and what you have on hand. It certainly doesn't have to be exact!
- Carrots, probably a pound or so
- Red Bell Peppers, two
- Sweet Onions, because that's what I had. Any yellow or white onion will do.
- Rosemary, a sprig or two of fresh or a teaspoon or so of dry
- Thyme, a sprig or two of fresh or teaspoon or so of dry
- Chicken Stock, maybe 6 cups
- Olive Oil
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Balsamic Vinegar, 2 or 3 tablespoons
- Cream, about 1/2 a cup
Peel and slice the carrots.Dice the peppers and chop the onions.If you're using fresh herbs, strip them from their stems and snip them.Heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook for a few minutes, until everything softens and the onion just begins to brown. Stir in the herbs and a dash of crushed red pepper.Add the carrots.Add enough broth to just about cover the veggies and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are tender.Puree about a third to a half of the soup, depending on how creamy or chunky you want it, and return it to the pot.Stir in the vinegar and cream and cook for a few minutes, until it's heated through and well-blended. Season with salt and pepper if you want.Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs if you like and serve warm.

And then the game actually happened. Atlanta plowed through New Orleans on their first two drives and then their offense went silent. Matt Ryan completed only 55 percent of his passes and threw for only 165 yards against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. Despite all that, he still played better than Drew Brees. Brees decided to find his inner Mark Sanchez as he auditioned to be the next quarterback of the New York Jets. He liked the Jets' performance last week against the Patriots so much that he decided to look just as bad as Mark Sanchez.
Brees threw five interceptions (most of which were just truly awful decisions you'd only expect to see out of a young quarterback, not a former NFL MVP), had a sixth interception taken back by a penalty, and completely mismanaged the timing of a two-minute drill with his team facing first-and-goal. This is now the second week in a row Brees has cost his team a game. It's fair to say that he's not in the same class of quarterback as Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady and doesn't deserve to be considered better than someone like Eli or Peyton Manning. He just has too many bad games.
Cody Henry put up a huge week 12 in the BroBible Pickem Challenge as he correctly picked 12 of 16 games. Big weeks from Justin Taylor, Maxwell Bosse, and Zachary Viskovich enabled the three to bounce up to a three-way tie for first place overall. We only have five weeks left and there are full slates every week now that the bye weeks are over.
Locks of the Week:
N.Y. JETS -4.5 over Arizona
Locking up the Jets after what we saw from them last week? I must be crazy. Last week sure was a comedy of errors, but I don't expect that to carry over to this week. They had a real Murphy's law scenario going. Arizona allows them a chance to get back to the basics of running game and defense. I don't expect Arizona to score more than 10 points in this game and the Jets will operate a very cautious gameplan similar to how they beat up St. Louis two weeks ago.
Jacksonville +6.5 over BUFFALO
Don't look now, but the Jags are frisky. They're actually 5-0 against the spread in road games this year. They've done a good job in their last three games against the run, which is important when facing a Buffalo team that has both C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson. And they finally have an offense with Chad Henne that can put up points.
DENVER -7.5 over Tampa Bay
I like the Buccaneers, but I don't like their league-worst passing defense. Peyton Manning will be able to cut up Tampa Bay's defense at ease. Bucs' playmaker Vincent Jackson is also a well-known commodity for the Denver defense, who will shut him down.
Trap Game of the Week:
GREEN BAY -9.5 over Minnesota
The Packers are only 1-4 this year in games in which they've been favored by six points or more. Minnesota also has the advantage on both sides of the line, so they should be able to dominate the trenches and keep this game close, right? It's pretty much a given that Percy Harvin will miss the game, so Minnesota will have trouble keeping up with the usually high-scoring Packers. Expect an extremely strong effort from Green Bay after they were thoroughly embarrassed last week.
Rest of the Picks:
CHICAGO -4.5 over Seattle
I would lock this game up if I had any faith in Jay Cutler, but you never know when one of his bad games can show up. Still the Seahawks are 1-5 on the road this year and just seem to find ways to lose.
KANSAS CITY +3.5 over Carolina
I must be crazy to pick the Chiefs to win this game because everyone seems to be on Carolina. The Panthers, however, are giving up 126.2 rushing yards a game and were thoroughly dominated by Bryce Brown last week. If he didn't fumble twice, the Eagles probably would've come out on top. Look for a big game from Jamaal Charles and the Chiefs to keep things close or even win.
Indianapolis +4.5 over DETROIT
I hadn't watched a full Lions' game this year until I saw them play Houston on Thanksgiving. It was frustrating to see how many times Matt Stafford throws with bad mechanics. The coaching staff obviously isn't being disciplined with him given the fact that Jim Schwartz cost his team the game when he didn't know the rules. Outside of the game against New England, the Colts have been giving up an average of only 13.8 points in their last six games. Andrew Luck should also see plenty of success against the much-maligned Detroit secondary
New England -7.5 over MIAMI
The Patriots are finding their usual late-season form as they're starting to brutalize opponents. They've scored an average of 47.5 points a game over their last four. Miami's passing defense is ranked 26th in the league, so that should make things pretty easy for Tom Brady.
ST. LOUIS +7.5 over San Francisco
The Rams are underdogs here despite tying the 49ers in San Francisco. Two things have changed since that game: San Francisco has moved to Colin Kaepernick behind center and it looks like Danny Amendola will miss the game for St. Louis. Those are two large moves, but I don't think they're large enough for the Rams to not keep the game close. St. Louis' defensive front should be able to cause some issues for young Kaepernick. He got lucky last week in a hostile environment when Drew Brees gifted his defense two touchdowns.
Houston -5.5 over Tennessee
After their last two games went to overtime, the Texans were happy to have some extra time off after a win on Thanksgiving. Expect them to be a bit more focused and not interest to let the game be competitive for too long. Tennessee has lost three of four and seems destined to fall apart the rest of the season.
Cincinnati -1.5 over SAN DIEGO
Last week's blown 10-point lead was sooooo Chargers. But hey, that's Norv Turner and Phil Rivers for you. Look for Cincinnati's front four to abuse San Diego's offensive line, leaving Phil Rivers running for his life and ready to turn the ball over more.
BALTIMORE -7.5 over Pittsburgh
After what I saw from Charlie Batch last week, I want no part of the Steelers. Plus the Ravens always perform better at home.
Cleveland +1.5 over OAKLAND
The schedule says the season has 16 games, but Oakland thought the season ended after seven. They've given up an average of 42.5 points in their last four games and seem to have decided to mail in the rest of the year.
DALLAS -7.5 over Philadelphia
If any team could lose this game, it's Dallas. I just have a hunch they'll be ready for this one since it's a division rival and they were thoroughly embarrassed last week.
N.Y. Giants-2.5 over WASHINGTON
We saw all the Giants can deliver in last week's game against Green Bay, but do they have the mindset to bring it again this week? The message in the Giants' locker room will be that a loss in this game brings the Redskins within only one game for the division lead, but a win would bury the Redskins. With the schedule the Giants have upcoming, they can't afford to take any games off mentally. Hopefully they remember to "build the bridge" or "finish" or whatever they're using for their slogan these days.
Last Week: 0-1
Last Week: 6-10

The 2013 Solon Football schedule has been completed and features some significant changes, with the Comets preparing to face five different teams than last year.
Starting with the non-conference portion of the schedule, Solon will rekindle a long rivalry with Kenston and begin a two-year stint with Willoughby South.
The Comets will also play Valley Forge, Mayfield and Hudson, all new to the schedule next season.
Solon will still play rivals Twinsburg and Mentor along with other Valley Division opponents Strongsville and Brunswick.
Glenville also remains on the schedule from last season.
"The 2013 schedule presents a tremendous challenge for us," said Coach McQuaide. "Our offseason program is in full swing and our guys are working extremely hard to make all of Solon proud."
Here is the schedule:DATE OPPONENT TIME 8/30 at Kenston
7 p.m. 9/6
GLENVILLE 7 p.m. 9/12 at Willoughby South
7 p.m. 9/20 STRONGSVILLE 7 p.m. 9/26 at Valley Forge
7 p.m. 10/4 MAYFIELD
7 p.m. 10/11 at Hudson 7 p.m. 10/18 MENTOR 7 p.m. 10/25 at Twinsburg 7 p.m. 11/1 BRUNSWICK 7 p.m.
The Comets will travel to Kenston to open up the 2013 campaign as the Bombers replace the spot that Shaker Heights held for the last four years. Willoughby South replaces Akron Buchtel as the third game on the schedule, beginning with this coming year. Solon will travel to South for a Thursday night contest in early September.
Solon's last meeting with Kenston came in 2004 when the Comets secured a 35-7 victory over the Bombers. More recently, Solon and Willoughby South matched up in the 2011 OHSAA Playoffs. Solon paid a visit to the Rebels in the first round and came away with a 37-12 win.
Overall, Solon holds a 25-14-3 record against Kenston and a 4-1 record over Willoughby South.
The South Rebels come off another historic season as they made the playoffs in 2012 for the third consecutive year. They were one of two undefeated teams after the regular season in Division I, Region 1 last year and finished with a record of 10-1. In Division II, Region 5, the Kenston Bombers finished with a 7-5 record. They were victorious over Tallmadge in the first round of the 2012 playoffs and fell short to Chardon in the Region 5 Semi-Final.
"We're thrilled to be able to add two top-notch opponents to our 2013 slate," said Solon Head Coach Jim McQuaide. "Both teams have seen great success over the last few years and we know it will be a battle going to both Kenston and South in the same year."
Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division play will begin in Week Four this coming year as Strongsville will visit Stewart Field. NOC Crossover games will occupy the fifth and sixth spots on the schedule.
In those crossover games, Solon will travel to Valley Forge on September 26 and the Wildcats from Mayfield will visit Solon High School on October 4. Valley Division play will resume on October 11 with a game at Hudson; followed by the annual battle against Mentor, a visit to Twinsburg, and a regular season finale with Brunswick at Stewart Field.
Valley Forge and Solon will face each other in Week Five for the first time in the two school's football histories.
Mayfield and Hudson are two long rivalries that were put on hold the last few years. Solon's last win over Mayfield came in 2010 in a game at Mayfield that saw Solon compile 48 points. Solon owns a 17-13-2 record over the Wildcats.
Solon's last matchup with Hudson also occurred in 2010 as the Comets shutout the Explorers for the first 47 minutes to go on to a 34-6 win. Solon has an 11-2 advantage over Hudson entering 2013.

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email LEESBURG, GA (WALB) - Former Lee County prosecutor Craig Mathis was released from jail Sunday on a $5,000 bond. WALB's camera was rolling in the Lee County courtroom as he appeared before a judge at 2:00 Sunday afternoon.
This comes two days after sheriff's deputies arrested him for possession of Schedule II and Schedule IV controlled drug with intent to distribute. Mathis surrendered his right to practice law until the case is dismissed.
Mathis will also enter an in-house drug abuse program. The judge said he waived his fourth amendment right to search and seizure and his right to possess fire arms.

Memphis and her man were having a money problem. I gave them a xxx proposal that is hard to turn down. They talked for a while and soon Memphis stripped right in front of me and began stroking my cock until I it was stiff and ready to stretch her shaved pussy real wide. Watch Memphis get down and dirty in exchange for cash!

This was pretty much the funniest thing i've ever seen on funnyjunk. /b/tard here. I was totally confused for like 4 seconds, and when i got it i pretty much lolled my dick off.


text: This time last year we were wondering what it would be like to watch Louisville basketball games in the Yum and not in Freedom Hall, and probably some of us were concerned that it wouldn't quite be the same. I'm not sure that CC has had a sustained relfection on the move, but this seems like a good time to do so. I consider myself surprised how little I missed Freedom Hall, which I'm sure had everything to do with how much I liked the new place (recrutis are apparently impressed too). Aside from lacking history, the Yum Center provided a superior experience in every way, from the number seats bewtween the baslines to the remarkable ease of getting to and from games. It was simply just a lot more fun to go downtown than to the fairgrounds. I have many fond memories of Freedom Hall but, as a building, it was probably not the special place I had convinced myself it was. It was designed for equestrian events, after all. I watched enough games from the top of the endzone to realize as a child that better seating configurations were possible. I personally experienced no drawbacks from the move. And that's just as it relates to UofL. Factor in that the arena is a catalyst for the ongoing transformation of Main St and the case is even stronger. Thoughts?

My husband and I as well as another family of 5, 2 adults and 3 teens, headed to New Orleans on March 17th. Our cruise on the Elation was set to leave on the 18th, but we opted for a night in New Orleans to avoid any delays. Also, the 17th is St. Patrick's day and we thought it would be FUN to check out the parade in New Orleans.
We arrived to our hotel in Gretna around 3:00 PM. I had called to double check that I had reserved the park and cruise package, however; apon arrival they said we had not booked that and they were sold out of that package. The staff was VERY rude, but the rooms were decent, and breakfast the next morning was nice. Except for the rude man who was never satisfied with the staff. We later saw him on our cruise, still yelling at people. Anyways, back to the evening before. After we got checked in and cleaned up we headed out for dinner. We ended up eating at Bubba Gumps, it was delicious! After dinner we walked around , collected some beads (no flashing was involved), and enjoyed the parade. It was very lively, and I can't even begin to imagine how crazy it gets during Mardi Gras. We headed back to our hotel to get some rest. (yeah right, I was WAY too excited)
We woke up the next morning, gathered our luggage, grabbed some breakfast and headed to the port. We arrived about 10:30. We had priority booking and were seated in a room to the side with refreshments. The process went very quickly and then we moved to the main seating area waiting to board. We were on the ship by 11:30! It was fantastic! My husband and I have cruised before, but of course the excitement of being on a different ship was still there. Our friends however, had never cruised before! Half the fun was seeing their excitement!
We headed straight up to the Lido Deck to grab some food. I had food from the wok, one of my most favorites! We walked around, took some pictures, it was SUPER windy that day and a little overcast, but nothing was going to dampen my day! We checked on our rooms, and were told about 15 more minutes. We went and purchased our soda cards, in my opinion TOTALLY worth it, then headed back to our room to check it out. This was my first time having a balcony and I could hardly contain myself! I must admit I was little shocked at the size of the balcony, but it was still AMAZING! The decor was as to be expected of the older ships. Everything was clean, in working order, just a little tacky.
Muster drill was up next, we were on lido for that, and it was HOT! I was SO ready to get out of there! After muster drill we did sail away then it was back to the room to get ready for dinner. During this time we got to meet our room steward, Ronello. He was absolutely fantastic! So friendly and eager to help. Our server in the restaurant was named Jean, and he was equally as excellent! I don't remember what I had for dinner each night specifically, but the fried chicken was great, I LOVED the sushi plate, and of course I had the chocolate melting cake EVERY single night! I can't help myself!
We had 3 teens with us but none of them tried out the carnival activities, they just kind of did their own thing or tagged along with us. Which means I didn't get to use the serenity deck as much as I would have liked, but the few times I was there it was beautiful. Somehow a kiss on the lips usually found its way into my hand while on the serenity deck!
One of my favorite things was the sushi they served before dinner. There were usually two options and you could get in line as many times as you wanted. It was difficult to find at first, but once we did I enjoyed it a lot!
There were so many fun things we enjoyed on this cruise. I personally loved the evening entertainment, but I'm into all that sort of stuff, our cruisemates didn't seem to impressed. The comedy was funny most nights, one guy was a little TOO raunchy for me. I usually enjoy the adult comedy, but sometimes it went too far. We really enjoyed the newlywed style game, and also played bingo a few times. My husband won $400 so that was exciting for sure!
This was a springbreak cruise, so the the pool was a little crowded, but I never noticed real heavy partying or people out of control.Photographers were not as pushy as I remember on other cruises I have taken, which I appreciated!
We had a great week and couldn't have asked for more, except maybe a few more days on the ship!

Son of 9th Circuit Chief Judge Says He Maintained Racy Website
Posted Jun 12, 2008 5:40 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Updated: The son of Alex Kozinski, the chief judge of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, says he maintained the website with sexually explicit pictures that was shared by his father.
News reports of the website prompted Kozinski to issue a statement late Thursday inviting a potential investigation into his conduct.
"I have asked the Judicial Council of the Ninth Circuit to take steps pursuant to Rule 26, of the Rules Governing Judicial Conduct and Disability, and to initiate proceedings concerning the article that appeared in yesterday's Los Angeles Times," Kozinski wrote Thursday in a two-sentence statement seeking the internal review. "I will cooperate fully in any investigation."
(Meanwhile, as discussed in a subsequent ABAJournal.com post, Kozinski has recused himself from hearing a federal district court obscenity case over which he happened to have been randomly selected to preside, in a situation which helped fan the flames further when his own postings became public.)
Among the content on the site was a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. Kozinski told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday evening that he hadn't realized the website could be accessed by the public. He told the paper then that some material was inappropriate but some was funny.
Other images on the site reportedly included masturbation, public sex and a step-by-step pictorial of a woman shaving her pubic hair.
"Is it prurient? I don't know what to tell you," he told the newspaper. "I think it's odd and interesting. It's part of life."
Kozinski's son, Yale, told the New York Times yesterday evening that he maintained the site, which also included family photos and some of his father's articles. "This server is my private Web server," Yale Kozinski said. "It's owned by me. The domain is registered to me. The people who have access to put files up there are friends and family."
Alex Kozinski was presiding over a high-profile obscenity trial when the news broke. The Associated Press reports he suspended the trial yesterday to give lawyers time to consider the issue. He indicated he would be willing to recuse himself but noted the trial had already begun and jurors had begun considering evidence, including two graphic movies.
In Tuesday's interview with the Los Angeles Times, Alex Kozinski said he had posted some of the explicit materials and he might have uploaded other items by mistake. Yesterday he spoke to the New York Times and sent and e-mail to Above the Law that said his son apparently uploaded some of the items.
"Everyone in the family stores stuff there, and I had no idea what some of the stuff is or was—I was surprised that it was there," Alex Kozinski told Above the Law. "I assumed I must have put it there by accident, but when the story broke, Yale called and said he's pretty sure he uploaded a bunch of it. I had no idea, but that sounds right, because I sure don't remember putting some of that stuff there. I consider the server a private storage device, not meant for public access. I'd have been more careful about its contents if I had known that others could access it."
The judge sounded a similar note in the New York Times interview, which described his comments as "moderately contrite."
"I guess I should be more careful about access and all," he said. "I didn't put anything on there I think would be embarrassing."
AP spoke to Beverly Hills, Calif., attorney Cyrus Sanai, who said he had told the Los Angeles Times about the images on the Kozinski website. He said he found them while monitoring the site as part of a dispute with the 9th Circuit in connection with his parents' divorce. He said he contacted reporters at various publications since January in an effort to expose them.

East Carolina's Swim team was in the pool for a very special reason Tuesday night.
Each year, the Pirate swimmers invite the area's Special Olympic swimmers to work out with the team. The night includes swimming, relays, cheers and of course lots of hugs.
ECU Assistant Coach Kate Gordon says the team always looks forward to this event.
"It's by far our favorite service project," said Gordon. "The community supports us so much so we really enjoy giving back."

School district gets $200,000 language boost
Original post made on Jun 15, 2007
Read the full story here Web Link
on Jun 15, 2007 at 1:48 pm
Of course, MI is cost-neutral so it doesn't require any of this funding.
on Jun 15, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Right, the arguments all along were that MI is cost-neutral and FLES is unaffordable. Will this federal grant help make FLES (or some other innovative language program for ALL K-5 students) a reality?
Who gets to decide how the money is used?
on Jun 15, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Well, now it looks like the district will have funding so that those who do not win the MI and SI lotteries will get some foreign language instruction. Hopefully the FLES task force is up and running and will be inspired by this inflow if money for the lottery losers.

Something like the Clever Coffee Dripper in glass? Or, best ceramic filter cone?
- sweet100s Mar 13, 2011 12:14 AM
I just tried the Clever Coffee Dripper and loved it. I purchased it with travel in mind, but am happy enough with the results that I'd like to use it every day. However, I'd prefer not putting 200 degree water through plastic every day.
Is there anything that has the Clever Coffee Dripper drip stop mechanism in glass?
If not, it seems that the 1 hole ceramic filter cones would drip out slowest.
Amongst the ceramic coffee filter cones, which do you prefer and why?
LOVE my Clever Coffee Dripper.
I don't know if you'll find a glass equivalent but I've been making coffee with my plastic one a couple times a day for well more than a year with the hottest water I can boil up. No probs to report. And if and when there is one, $15 for a replacement really isn't painful in the least.
I replace glass measuring beakers regularly from thermal shock. And we've been thru god-only-knows how many coffee making appliances from the simple tech & reasonable to the sophisticated & silly expensive. I liked many of them for different features and capabilities. They all needed replacement at some point too. None of them made better coffee than the CCD.
I bought a swiss gold filter at peets coffee for $11 and it works really well. No paper filters

District 10 teams Cathedral Prep, Grove City, Hickory, Linesville and Mercyhurst Prep remain among the top 10 in the state, according to this week's Pennsylvania Football News rankings. Click below to see the rankings:
Each year, Erie Times-News staff members spend much of the summer gathering information on District 10 football teams for the Summer Huddle series, Kickoff magazine and print previews.
Despite all of the research, it's inevitable that talented players on some teams will not catch our attention. Then, on opening night – bam! – a few players burst onto the scene with huge performances. It happened Friday. Here are a few players who slipped under our radar that we'll be watching now:
DeShawn Coleman, Hickory: The 6-foot 1-inch, 175-pound junior ran for more than 150 yards in the first quarter alone against West Middlesex. He finished with 295 yards on 18 carries, including TD runs of 80 and 55 yards.
Corey Henry, Strong Vincent: In the preseason, we talked about Vincent quarterback Denzel Jones and running back Michael Neavins, but Henry's emergence could make the Colonels a force. The hulking 6-foot 2-inch, 217-pound fullback gives Vincent an inside power game. He rushed 15 times for 115 yards Friday in a 42-28 victory over General McLane. Jones also looked sensational.
Nathan McLaurin, Cathedral Prep: With a top-notch quarterback like Damion Terry, all Prep needs to do is get the line to protect him and find some sure-handed receivers. The Ramblers found at least one premier receiver in McLaurin, a 5-foot 9-inch 153-pound senior. He had nine receptions for 122 yards, including TD catches of 36 and 7 yards, in a 25-20 loss to McDowell. McLaurin gives Prep three deep threats, along with Kimani Smith and Delton Williams.
Khyre Drayer, McDowell: Yes, Greg Garmon is an all-state running back who garnered much of our attention in the preseason. But Drayer is a nice change-of-pace runner who piled up 130 yards on 14 carries against Prep. The junior scored on runs of 6 and 71 yards. At 5 feet 10 inches and 225 pounds, Drayer is a nightmare to tackle if he has a head of steam.
Fred Epps, Meadville: Artrel Foster and Terence Goodrum entered the season as the Bulldogs' two vaunted speed backs. Epps, however, gives the team an effective change-up inside. He rushed 22 times for 187 yards in the Bulldogs' 33-14 win over Fairview.
Here are a few others who emerged Friday: Lakeview's Blake Reddick (13 rushes, 120 yards, 53-yard TD run), Harbor Creek's Austin Griffith (7-of-7 passing, 78 yards, TD and 6-yard TD run), Linesville's Elijah Anderson (10 rushes, 157 yards, 59-yard TD run), Oil City's Sam Owoc (10 rushes, 109 yards, 2 TDs) and Wilmington's Ryan Crawford (5 rushes, 85 yards, 3 TDs).
We're sure more players will break out in the weeks ahead.
Two District 10 teams are ranked and seven others are listed among "others to watch" in the Pennsylvania Football News preseason state rankings, which were released Wednesday night.
Cathedral Prep leads all D-10 teams with a No. 4 ranking in Class AAA. The Ramblers are coming off a trip to the PIAA Class AAA semifinals and return record-breaking junior quarterback Damion Terry.
Defending District 10 AA champion Sharon is ranked 10th in AA.
Meanwhile, listed among "others to watch" are the following D-10 teams: Grove City in AAA, General McLane, Hickory and Wilmington in AA, and Farrell, Linesville and West Middlesex in A.
Click below for the complete rankings:
Linesville Lions
Coach (season, record): Pat Gould (7th season, 40-24)
2010 overall record: 6-4
2010 region record (place): 5-3 (tied for third)
2010 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 playoffs.
Top players lost: Jack Sindlinger, Denny Diodati, A.J. Thompson, Dustin Buchanan
Top returning players: Jimmy Kearns, Jace Pardee, Dylan Merritt, Jon Weidner
Assistant coaches: Bill Stevenson, Nate Liberty, Doug Tucker
Outlook: Linesville coach Pat Gould has an interesting situation this fall. With Conneaut Lake consolidating with the Lions' program, Gould has more players to choose from but at the same time is responsible for giving the former Indians a shot at earning a starting spot. The competition in camp should be intense and could create an even better Region 1 power. Linesville has some holes to fill with all-region members A.J. Thomspon, Jack Sindlinger and Denny Diodati gone to graduation as well as Dustin Buchanan. The Lions return Jimmy Kearns, Jace Pardee, Dylan Merritt and Jon Weidner and should be bolstered by the addition of the returning Indians from Lake. The biggest issue will be getting everyone to play as one team regardless of school but Gould is confident that the team is already coming together. The consolidation could be a plus with more players adding depth to the Lions' team. Linesville will have two homecomings this season, one for Linesville and one for Conneaut Lake. The Lions will play varsity games on their home field with some of the lower levels still using Conneaut Lake's field. Linesville didn't get any favors from the schedule-makers with games against Lakeview, Mercer and Farrell in three straight weeks, but the Lions will have nearly a month to prepare for that brutal stretch.

Farrell and Wilmington remain atop the polls in their respective classes of this week's Pennsylvania Football News rankings.
The Steelers are first in Class A and the Greyhounds, PIAA champions in 2008, in Class AA. They are the only District 10 schools ranked in PFN's four polls.
District schools which received honorable mentions were McDowell in Class AAAA, Bradford, Cathedral Prep and Strong Vincent in Class AAA, General McLane in AA, and Linesville and Mercyhurst Prep in A.
– Mike Copper
Alondre Hamilton, East, 226 yards, 10 carries, 3TDs
Cory Lee, McLane, 29 carries, 139 yards
Parrish Brown, Iroquois, 95 yards rushing, TD, 84-yard kick return for TD
Tim Schwenk, Mercyhurst Prep, 106 yards rushing, 61-yard TD, key interception
Trevor Litwiler, Linesville, 4 rushing TDs, 1 passing TD
Or does someone else deserve the honor?
Wilmington, the defending PIAA Class AA champion, highlights five teams ranked in the Pennsylvania Football News Preseason Rankings released this week.
The Greyhounds finished 2008 at 15-1, including a thrilling double overtime win in the state championship over West Catholic, 35-34. Greenville is the other D-10 team in the Class AA rankings as a team to watch.
Rivals Strong Vincent and Cathedral Prep are ranked in the top 10 in Class AAA. The Colonels won the District 10 Class AAA championship over the Ramblers in '08. 28-0. Vincent lost several starters but has a solid offensive and defensive line coming back. The Colonels are ranked No. 6 in the state, while their playoff-rival Thomas Jefferson is No. 1.
Prep is ranked No. 9 despite having an average year in '08. The Ramblers created a buzz around the state by hiring Mike Mischler to return as head coach coupled with the heavy recruiting by Division I schools of Shyquawn Pullium has Prep at a top 10 spot.
In Class A, Farrell and Linesville are ranked No. 6 and No. 9, respectively. The Steelers made a deep run into the PIAA playoffs in '08 before losing to Clairton and Pitt recruit Kevin Weatherspoon. The Lions had an outstanding season last year but lose to Farrell in the District 10 championship.
Mercer and Sharpsville, two teams that could surprise some teams in Class A, are both listed as others to watch.

Linesville Lions
Coach: Pat Gould
2008 overall record: 10-3
2008 league record (place): 7-1 (Region 1 co-champion
Playoff results: Lost to Farrell, 28-7, in the Class A District 10 championship game
Top players lost: RB/DB Doug Farley, TE Matt Laird, WR/DB Evan Smith, OL/LB Eric Daniels, OL/DL Kris Tursky, LB Matt Laird
Top returning players: QB/DB/K Trevor Litwiler, RB/WR Jimmy Kearns, RB/WR Walter Litwin, RB/WR Jack Sindlinger, OL Tanner Urbanick, OL Dennis Diodati
Key games: Oct. 2 vs. Farrell, Oct. 16 at Saegertown
Outlook: Linesville lost to two teams all of last season. The Lions lost twice in the regular season: once to Region 2 champion Saegertown and once to Farrell. Linesville's season ended when it faced Farrell again in the Class A District 10 championship game. In its two games against Farrell, the Lions were outscored 55-7. But Linesville still had a very successful season and was co-champions of Region 1, along with Farrell and Mercer. The Lions had four members of the first team all-Region 1 offense and three members selected to the first team all-region defense. Doug Farley and Trevor Litwiler made both first team offense and defense. Litwiler, a quarterback, is the only one of those players returning, but he's a an elite player. Litwiler's main targets, in Matt Laird and Evan Smith, graduated too. The Lions also had five total players split between the second team all-region offense and defense (two offense, three defense) — including two graduating offensive lineman. Litwiler made the second team all-region team as the kicker. The offense next year is in good hands for Linesville. Litwiler threw for 909 yards on a 58.4 percent completion rate. He had 13 passing touchdowns and only five interceptions. He wasn't a slouch in the ground game either. He ran for 763 yards and led the team with 12 rushing touchdowns. Farley led the rushing attack last year with over 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns of his own. But he's gone next season, and that offense will have to come from elsewhere. Litwiler had more than 48 percent of the Lions total yards gained last season. The defense loses key players as well. Litwiler was the only Linesville player who made all-region first or second team not to be a senior. The Lions have the players on offense to potentially replace Farley, but the defense also will need people to step up on the line, at linebacker and in the secondary. The team's third, fourth and fifth leading rushers — Jimmy Kearns, Jack Sindlinger and Walter Litwin — all return and could vie for the starting running back spot. The Lions could repeat at region champs with a talent like Litwiler coming back, but others will need to assist him on both offense and defense.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- It's one of the most important weekends of the year for people of all Christian faiths across the world.
In Rochester Friday afternoon people gathered to celebrate Good Friday through the Way of the Cross.
The Church of St. John the Evangelist has held this yearly tradition for about the past 15 years.
Christians gathered at the Government Center in downtown Rochester and then walked through the streets in silence, two by two following the cross.
The procession ended at the Church of St. John the Evangelist, but they made two stops along the way where they had music, scripture readings and reflections.
Members of the church say the tradition is a public expression of their faith.
"We want to go public," said Rev. Gerald Mahon. "It's one thing for people to gather in their churches, which is beautiful, but to do a public gesture is to say we want to announce that Jesus Christ has changed the world through death and Resurrection."
The Way of the Cross was followed by a Good Friday service.

Two words: THINK BIG. So simple, yet so profound.
Even though the odds were stacked against him, Ben began thinking big about fifty years ago. But he didn't always think that way, and who could blame him.
You see, Ben was not unlike many of his friends who were being raised by a single parent in the projects of Detroit: Poor, disadvantaged, and completely uninterested in school. At the very least, he was about to become little more than a third grade dropout, as his mother had been many years earlier, or worse: he would spend much of his life incarcerated or end up dead. But mom wasn't about to let her son become a statistic without a fight.
Only Ben wasn't so much a hooligan as he was a television addict. Of course, there were obviously worse things that Ben could have been doing other than spending hour after hour in front of the tube. But his grades were failing, and something had to be done. Mom had a plan, and it was time to put that plan into action.
Her two fold idea was both simple and brilliant. First of all, Ben's television privileges were drastically reduced. Secondly, he was told to read two books per week with a written book report due at the end of each said week. It is no coincidence that this crucial turning point in Ben's life was just the catalyst he needed to catapult him all the way from the bottom of his class to the top, and ultimately, realize his future dreams.
Ben went on to graduate from Yale, and subsequently, the University of Michigan Medical School. Soon thereafter, he became the youngest(33) Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery that world-renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital had ever seen. One of Dr. Ben Carson's greatest accomplishments came in 1987 when he led a team of seventy surgeons who successfully separated the Binder Siamese twins, who were conjoined at the back of their head. This famous surgery was one of the highlights of the 2009 TNT movie(Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story) based on the book and life of Ben Carson(Cuba Gooding Jr. played the lead role). Carson also wrote a follow-up book entitled, "Think Big", which was/is the inspiration for this article.
How many of the Panthers' current roster were raised under similar circumstances and beat the odds? I'm quite sure there are more than a few guys on this roster who had the courage to THINK BIG in the harshest of environments, and here they are today, playing for our Carolina Panthers. No, they aren't saving lives as world-renowned surgeons in world-renowned hospitals, but many of them have been spreading a positive influence throughout the Charlotte community and beyond for many years now. In fact, players like Deangelo Williams, Steve Smith, Jordan Gross, and Thomas Davis are all shining examples of what can happen when you THINK BIG on and off the field.
What do you think Ryan Kalil was doing when he proclaimed a Super Bowl victory in a full page advertisement in the Charlotte Observer about a month ago? Sure, it doesn't seem sensible to make such an outlandish prediction when the Panthers are looking up at two superior teams in their own division, and at least several more in their own conference. But isn't this the ultimate beauty of sports, and life? If a kid from the projects of Detroit could go on to become the youngest ever Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, then a team full of guys who beat their own odds can achieve what seems impossible as well.
In case you missed it, the message is simply this: THINK BIG. The Panthers have already taken the plunge, so why don't you?

Auburn guard Tyrese Tanner has been named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week for her performance at last weekend's Sheraton Raleigh Wolfpack Invitational.
The Auburn junior put up 15 points against Maine in the season opener and scored 26 points against North Carolina State in the Championship Game of the Wolfpack Invitational. Her 26 points are the most for an Auburn player since Blanche Alverson scored 27 on Jan. 13, 2011.
New Auburn Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said,"I thought Tyrese was really good … there are so many aspects to the game that she can bring. Not just scoring, she is a great rebounder, a good defender. She can be an all-around player every single game."
Tyrese leads Auburn both in scoring (20.5 ppg) and in rebounds (8.5 ppg). She was also named to the All- Tournament team along with her teammate Hasina Muhammad.
Congratulations Tyrese and War Eagle!

A partnership between First Niagara and the University at Buffalo is helping turn plans for relocating its medical school to downtown Buffalo into reality. YNN's Kaitlyn Lionti tells us how UB acquired the third and final property needed to move forward with the project.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The First Niagara Bank branch on Main and High Street in Buffalo will soon be transformed into a key component of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
First Niagara is donating the parcel of land to the University at Buffalo for the new School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
"This central location will put the medical school at the heart of our expanding downtown campus, the center of the region's emerging biosciences corridor, and a short walk from the hospitals, research centers and incubators that nurture new bioscience startup companies," said Satish Tripathi, president of UB.
While the parcel was appraised at approximately $2 million, the donation allows UB to purchase it for $1.
Officials with First Niagara said the donation is about more than just land.
"It's an investment in our region's growth and success," said Gary Crosby, First Niagara interim president and CEO. The dean of UB's School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dr. Michael Cain, said the move and expansion will help attract world-class faculty.
"To provide exemplary teaching, outstanding patient care and innovative research. Professionals whose inventions and discoveries will change the course of 21st century health care," said Cain.
It's also expected to attract more patients and medical students. In fact, Cain said there's a 50 percent increase in the number of students from the class of 2013 staying at UB for their graduate training than the class of 2012.
Tripathi said, "This is a sign of the quality that's improving here in terms of medical education and medical training."
UB is planning a groundbreaking for early fall and expects construction to be complete in 2016.
As for the current home of the medical school, Tripathi said, "We are working on moving a couple of the professional schools from North Campus to the South Campus, especially the graduate school of education as well as the school of social work."
And First Niagara will continue its presence in the area: first with a temporary branch down Main Street and then with a permanent site in the Conventus Medical Office Building.

Spring Mini Sessions! | Sherwood Park Photography
Posted by Eee and Bee On May 7th, 2013
Since the weather is looking up, Spring looks like its here to stay, which means its time to get out there to do some photos done of you and your loved ones! We are announcing one date for mini sessions this May. Now what is a mini-session you say? Great question! Here is some information on our 2013 Spring Mini Sessions.
Still not sure what the difference between this and a regular photo session is? Well, that's why I'm here!
A mini session is a much shorter session than our regular family sessions. We understand that not everyone wants a whole 1-2 hour photo sessions, be it because of little ones or just only needing a few family photographs. They are held in one location that we all meet at and spend a half hour getting as many beautiful photos as we can! So this year, I've decided to offer mini sessions on one Saturday in May with me (Eee!) and then a product consult to look further at some snazzy products you may need for your home!
So if you've been pondering some Spring looking photos with you and your family, pet, loved one, children, or any other combo you can imagine book your mini session spot today!
If you have even more questions, please contact us through our form at the top of this page or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Check out more of our Sherwood Park Photography and Edmonton weddings on our site! Our poke around our blog to see what we've been up to!
Personalizing a Photo Session | Sherwood Park Photography
Posted by Eee and Bee On April 21st, 2013
When it comes to engagement sessions, family sessions, or any type of the so called "lifestyle" sessions, we always get asked: "SO, where should we go to take photos? Do you two have photo locations in mind?"
The answer is ALWAYS of course, we search the city for fun spots, beautiful backdrops, and hidden gems… BUT, this usually doesn't mean anything much to someone like you! (Unless you would like us to go scouting just for you!)
When you think about getting photos done of you and your loved ones, the photos will mean a lot because you have some beautiful people on board, and we can crack smiles from the most mean muggin' of men. But we want more then that. For each engagement session I ask the couple "What do you two love to do together?" Be it coffee dates, skating in the chilly winter wind, hiking through the river valley (or mountains… we like going there too!) or just spending time at your home cooking a great meal. We want to capture the moments that mean the most to you.
When we meet I love hearing engagement stories, they are probably one of my favorite things (and I think Bee likes them a lot too) Make them awesome, even if it was just he got down on one knee in the kitchen. It was an amazing life decision you both decided to make and you better tell that story with tons of excitement! We would love to incorporate that in any way we can into your engagement session.
It doesn't have to be fantastical, breathtaking, or over the top, whatever you love to do together will work just perfectly, and don't forget you can always throw some fun props in there too.
Some suggestions for (and FROM) our Brides to be:
Pinterest type things (signs, cute poses, you name it we can try it)
Fur babies can come along too
Outdoor activities like hiking, walking, snowball fights!
An outdoor picnic (which you see with Dru + Mitch's Edmonton engagement session)
Fave coffee shops
You could even try out a stylized session, just ask us how!
The most important thing to remember is to make it true to you, let us worry about the rest!

Samsung could be planning to introduce a new tablet range during the first few months of 2014, and although the new slates could be based on the existing Note range, they'll wear a new name. According to rumours, one of the new models will have a large 12.2-inch screen and be called the Galaxy Note Pro.
The tablet could otherwise share similar specifications to the Galaxy Note 3 2014 Edition, with tips suggesting the screen will have a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, and come with Samsung's S Pen stylus. Adding two inches to the size of the display could see the tablet become a hit with business owners, hence the potential new name.
Inside the Galaxy Note Pro, a Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM could be found, while on the outside, an 8-megapixel camera may be fitted. Interestingly, the most recent information indicates Android 4.4.2 will be installed, potentially making the Note Pro 12.2 one of the first Samsung devices to use the new software.
At the moment, the Galaxy Note Pro is still a rumour, and hasn't been officially confirmed by Samsung. However, the first few months of 2014 offer the firm several opportunities to announce the new tablet. CES begins on January 7 in Las Vegas, and will be followed by MWC at the end of February. Samsung could have a total of four new tablets on its books, all of which could make their official debut by March.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 270904 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 404 AM CDT Wed Aug 27 2014 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 403 AM CDT WED AUG 27 2014 Challenging forecast on tap for today mainly in regards to precipitation chances. Early this morning...a stationary front is analyzed from Springfield, Illinois to Sedalia to south of Topeka. A modest 20-25KT southwesterly LLJ has develop across central Kansas and is overriding this stationary front allowing elevated convection to develop across southwestern Iowa through extreme northwestern Missouri and back into northern Kansas. This may allow for training for precipitation across northwestern Missouri this morning and with PWAT values near 1.75" precipitation may be heavy. These storm are progged to move eastward across northern Missouri this morning. This afternoon however, is more nebulous as some operational models (GFS/EC) play the stationary front as the focus for afternoon convection. However, with little convergence to speak of this solution is not preferred. The 00Z NAM is more focused on an area of isentropic ascent along the 310K surface sparking convection over the KC Metro late this morning and then moving precipitation sewd across the CWA this afternoon. Hi-res models are pointing toward pop-up type convection this afternoon south of the boundary in the warm sector. Also, it develops additional convection across northwestern Missouri later this afternoon and evening in response to better upper level support in the form of a lead shortwave ejecting out from the main upper trough back across the Great Basin. It is this solution that is preferred an as such have higher POPs for today across the northern CWA to account for morning convection and additional convective development this afternoon. Also have slight POPs further south to depict afternoon pop-up convection. Cloud cover and height falls later in the day especially across the north will lead to highs in the lower 80s to the north and to the lower 90s across the south. Also, during the day today, the upper level trough over the Great Basin will move eastward into the Eastern Rockies. Lee cyclogenesis will develop across the western high Plains and a surface low will develop and begin to move northeastward during the evening. This will help pull the surface boundary northward across the forecast area. Another nocturnal LLJ will develop albeit west of the area. Thunderstorms are again progged to develop and move into the northern portion of the CWA north of the front...so how far south precipitation makes it will hinge much on the frontal position. Consequently, have chance POPs across the northern CWA sloping to slights further south. Outside of morning convection Thursday...it appears conditions will remain dry as the area should be firmly in the capped warm sector. this will allow for warmer temperatures in the mid 80s to mid 90s. Thursday night the aforementioned upper level trough moves into the central Plains forcing a cold front into eastern Kansas. This will allow thunderstorms to move into the western CWA Thursday night. The front will then move slowly across the area Friday and Friday night as the upper level trough slows and weakens as it moves into the eastern Plains. Highs Friday will be in the 80s. The upper level trough finally moves through on Saturday continuing thunderstorm chances. For the extended period...Sunday looks to be the dry day of the holiday weekend in the wake of the upper level system. Expect highs in the 80s. Models are in agreement that on Monday an upper level trough will bring another round of thunderstorms to the area. Where they are different is in the strength of the and placement of the trough. The EC is much stronger and further north than the GFS. Both push a cold front into the area Monday however, the EC pushes it through the area by Tuesday night whereas the GFS which depicts a much weaker and flatter trough stalls the front across the CWA. This front then becomes the focus for a prolong period of precipitation. As such have opted to keep the ALLBLEND solution which keeps chance POPs over the area from Monday through Tuesday and slight chance POPs into Tuesday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday Night) Issued at 1157 PM CDT TUE AUG 26 2014 VFR conditions will likely prevail at the terminals over the next 24 hours. Only issue there might be storms that may develop across far northwest Missouri early Wednesday morning. Have inserted VCTS for the KSTJ terminal, but expectations are that activity will stay farther north. Otherwise, expect east to southeast winds to persist through the rest of the day. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ DISCUSSION...73 AVIATION...Cutter

With the draft right around the corner it appears the draft will be loaded with talent perfectly suited to Oakland's areas of need . I know there's alot of best player talk heading into the draft , well played , if you want to get value for your picks while wheeling , and dealing on draft day the other clubs need to believe that you could take anybody , and if they have their eye on a particular player they have to deal with you . But make no mistake , if the best player available every time you pick is a QB , Reggie Mackenzie is not gonna draft 5 QB's.
While I watch the draft prospects value rise and fall it appears this draft is shaping up well for Oakland , and even if our picks are at positions of need there is an argument to be made that the player selected is the best available . The talent is there in the later rounds for Oakland to fill all of it's needs.
With Brisiel , Wisniewski , and Veldhere Oakland has a nice foundation to build on , but large questions remain at LG , and RT . Cooper Carslile lost a step at RG , and is now trying to make the transition to LG . He is also on a 1 yr contract . Rishaw Johnson , California ( PA ) is a legitimate NFL caliber talent who packs a punch , Desmond Wynn , Rutgers , also has the potential to be a starter in the NFL if he can stay healthy . Lucas Nix , Pittsburg , Amini Silatolu , Midwestern st. (La) , will also be in play in the later rounds to provide depth , competition , and a possible future at LG . Zietler from Wisconsin would be a steal , butt it appears his draft stock has risen beyond Oakland's reach.
Kaliff Barnes is back on a 1yr contract at RT mostly because Joe Barksdale has not been able to take the job for himself , and may not be a good fit with our new blocking scheme . Oakland also has no depth behind Jared Veldhere . This is a spot where there is huge value in the later rounds this year , I actually like some of the 3rd , 4th , 5th rounders more than some of the tackles that will go much higher . Nate Potter , Boise st. has a skill set comparable to 1st rounder Nate Solder. Levy Addock , Ok. st, will also be around in the later rounds , and has the tools to be a NFL tackle . Matt Reynolds , BYU , Tom Compton , S. Dakota , James Brown , Troy , and Brandon Mosley from Auburn may all still be in play when Oakland starts picking in the later rounds .
Oakland was fortunate to add Bartell , and Spencer to the secondary , but yet again the secondary is a position where Oakland is looking at allot of 1 yr contracts. Givin the injury issues that come with our new starting corners and an uncertain future beyond this year. Oakland would be wise to take a look at some of the corners that will be available in the later rounds to see if they can find a starter or two for next year . Omar Bolden Arz. st. has the cover skills and return ability to be a NFL player . His stock has slipped because he is coming off an ACL , it will take a while before he's back to full speed , but his special teams value and upside as a possible future starter would make him a welcome addition to the raider's roster . Mike Harris , Fl. st . has the tools to become a starter , loose hips , elite change of direction , and man coverage skills are out standing . He could be a force as a nickle back in the NFL , a position that is becoming increasingly important in the NFL . Leonard Johnson , Iowa st . , Ryan Steed ,Furman , Trumaine Jhonson , Montana , Josh Robinson UCF , and yes if hes sitting there as a free agent or VERY late rounds Cliff Harris from Oregon could all provide depth and the possibility of getting a future starter at a bargain price .
The most difficult area to address where were picking will be pass rush . We have allot of 5 to 10 sack guys on the roster but whether at LB, or D line Oakland needs to find a way to add some pass rush . Givin the starters on the roster it allows Oakland to option to pursue a situational pass rusher , the kid does not have to be a all around prospect , all we need is someone who can get after the QB and become a pain in Manning' s neck , ya I said it . Sean Spence Miami is one guy who does possess the ability to be an every down LB . he possesses solid read and react skills , times blitzes well , good burst through the hole , nice swim move , can be explosive and close on the QB . Bruce irving , W.V. explosive , quick , fights through contact , strong tackler , goes after the ball , fights through blocks , tough as nails . Josh Kaddu , Oregon , Tank Carder , TCU , Nigel Bradham , Fl.st. are all capable of providing the Raiders with a pass rush specialist in the middle to late rounds .Vontaze Burfict had a horrible combine and is sliding because of it , but is an explosive player in pads. Has upside as a situational pass rusher , but is a classic boom or bust prospect .
Oakland would like to add a TE in this draft , but frankly I like Ausberry , and I think the players we have on the roster have as much , if not more upside than most the tight ends in this draft . That said if the Raiders get a shot to move up and land Orson Charles from Georgia it would not surprise me .
Though Oakland has the likes of Richard Seymour , Tommy Kelly , Desmond Bryant etc. on the roster , listening to Reggie talk i get the impression we may be in the market for another DT . Josh Chapman Alabama is coming off an ACL and seems to have caught the Raiders eye . Though a little undersized Derek Wolfe Cincinnati is quick off the ball , leading all tackles at the FBS level with 21.5 tackles for a loss . fights to the whistle and if he adds bulk could be a steal towards the end of the draft . Akiem Hicks , Regina is raw but could be one of the sleepers in this draft . Got caught up in recruiting violations at LSU and had to play in Canada , but has all the tools to be developed into a top notch NFL DT .
With the loss of Bush another RB would be nice , Oakland would love to see Robert Turbin , Tx A&M drop to them , but its not looking likely . Turbin is shooting up draft boards and may not even make it out of the 2nd round but Chris Polk from Washington could slip , Bob Rainey from W. Kentucky is a workhorse finishing top 3 in yardage the last 2 seasons averaging 139 yds per game . Isaiah Pead from cincy had his 1st 200 carry season and responded with 1,259 yds 12 td's and 40 receptions for over 300 yds , and though its not as important to Reggie he may be the fastest RB in this draft class . Jewel Hampton , S.Illinois comes from a pro style offense , and has good vision . Vick Ballard , Miss. st. at 220 lbs had over 200 yds , and 31 td's in 2 yrs in the SEC.
Even with not picks in the 1st or 2nd round the Raiders have lucked out this year and have plenty of prospects available to them in the later rounds to fill all of their needs .

After a hands roof crack pulling the lip is the Crux. Worth all you got!!
Starts in a crack just left of Smoking Guns. Head out roof crack. There is a cool knee bar against your right hand, that locks you in to free your left hand. Watch for your rope to get pinched in the crack as you climb above the roof. It merges into Smoking Guns and shares the anchors. On the FA I pulled a basket ball size boulder off just after the roof, managed to chuck it past my belayer, and still snag the Red Point. What a climb!!!

It's been a tough few days for south Louisiana as Hurricane Isaac left its mark, flooding homes that in some cases never flooded before. Once again, we saw the unpredictable and destructive impact of a storm that wobbled its way toward our communities, leaving the National Hurricane Center's best models pointing in opposite directions.
We saw Isaac stall as it was making landfall, dumping massive amounts of rain, pushing high water into rivers and lakes, flooding communities where people thought they were safe. It's not uncommon to hear someone say, "I didn't leave because it was only a category one."
Maybe after Isaac, people will think differently. We live in a state that continues to be vulnerable to hurricanes. Coastal islands and marsh that once acted as speed bumps to slow surge, are disappearing. Isaac has taught us a tough lesson. The effects of a hurricane are still unpredictable and even a category one storm can be devastating.
