This year's wet weather has led to mold problems for many homeowners in South Georgia. One business that treats the growing fungus has seen a huge increase in mold cases.Jud Savelle of Bishop Clean Care and his team of technicians have been busy treating homes contaminated with mold."In the last two weeks I've looked at six cases and normally we would not see that many in a year's time," says Savelle.The wetter than average summer and high humidity have created an ideal environment for mold.Savelle says the most common type they're treating is what's called surface mold.
"These have been the slower types of mold growth that have occurred from humidity levels being too high. And with the exterior air being so high in humidity these days and all the rain we've had, it's just adding fuel to the fire."
If left untreated, mold could impact your health, specifically your respiratory system.
"Mold does affect people in different ways, that's the reason there's really no hard laws on it, we just know it's not good for you," explains District Environmental Health Director Dewayne Tanner. "So what may affect you may not bother me in the same environment. However, any mold is not acceptable."
Experts say the best way to fight mold is to eliminate the two things it needs to thrive: food and water.
Mold can live off of a variety of food sources including dust, wood, paper in the home, and anything organic that it can feed off of, according to officials.
Savelle recommends keeping a clean house and getting your air conditioning unit checked on a regular basis. He says most of the cases his company has seen recently have come from the air conditioning system putting out too much humidity into the home.
And the cost? A small mold treatment can cost between $1,000 and $2,000. Bigger jobs can cost higher than $10,000. And when it comes to insurance, experts recommend checking with your provider to see if you are covered or eligible for coverage.

Heavy downpours hit much of Southwest Virginia Wednesday- and flooded parts of an apartment complex in Blacksburg, leaving some residents with a massive clean-up.
Tenants at the Tech Terrace say it only took a matter of minutes before the rain flooded the parking lot, one car, and a number of downstairs apartments.
"Torrential downpour, and before you knew it, the downstairs apartment, water had started seeping into our apartment," said resident William Long.
Despite the flooding, the tenants say the leasing agency was quick to respond - laying down sandbags to prevent further flooding, and helping residents clear the water out of their homes.

Announcing New Publication on Batterer Intervention Programs
We are excited to announce that Futures Without Violence, formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund, is soliciting recommendations for batterer intervention programs to include in a publication about promising approaches for working with men who batter. The publication is currently funded by "The Woods" Charitable Foundation and the Office on Violence Against Women.
The purpose of the publication is to share information that will support capacity building and help a broad range of stakeholders improve how they respond to domestic violence. The publication will be disseminated widely at key conferences and meetings related to domestic violence and online through a variety of electronic newsletters, websites and list-serves.
Two categories of programs will be included in the publication:
- Batterer intervention programs that use research and evaluation to inform, adapt and measure programmatic effectiveness. These are programs that are being consistently implemented and evaluation data are collected and used for ongoing program improvement.
- Batterer intervention programs that use approaches or strategies that have not been evaluated for effectiveness, but are generally supported by provider experience, research and program measures that track progress.
A variety of program types will be included, such as military, faith-based, parenting, and trauma-focused programs. Programs that integrate services to address multiple challenges such as mental illness and substance abuse will also be featured. We will not include individual therapy programs.
The deadline for program recommendation is May 25th, 2012. The telephone screenings will take place in May and June 2012, and final programs will be selected by July 15th, 2012. Site visits will begin in August 2012. We hope to release the publication in Winter 2013. To submit a recommendation, please fill out the submission form by clicking here.
If you have any questions, please contact Casey Corcoran at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tell us about your experience:
I was a tenant for 501 hollywood Ft Collins, CO. I experienced a late move in, 25 to be exact. Marylea Dornseif, our landlord, told us it was unavoidable. The front yard was patchy and underwatered, the back was nothing but weeds and dust. We were under the impression that we needed to maintain, the lawns, which we did. We watered, mowed, and laid down weed control. the front looked much heathier when we left. We mowed the weeds in the back and watered, but there wasnt much we could do, without using money out of our pocket to fix their property's backyard.They never instructed us to do so, so we didn't, we maintained what was given to us.
We were given a bill after 60 days, with a charge for $300.00 fee for tilling and reseeding the backyard.
-the roof leaked
-the house was not up to code
We didn't decide to move out even though we had good reason, because we thought Marylea was a good person. We figured, we would be leaving her high and dry. She took our deposit, and is now asking for us to pay for her numerous upgrades to the house. Nearly $450

Ultimately, Lovejoy aims to make the organizing framework of compliance a business asset rather than an inhibitor.

When Parents Should Get Involved in Kids' Issues
Expert advice on 7 common situations, so you'll know when to meddle and when to stay mum.
4. Another kid is bullying your child on the playground.
Should you butt in? Not immediately, unless your child's safety is at stake. "If you're there, watch closely and give your child a chance to
solve the problem on her own," says DeBroff. The same goes for school: It's better first to equip your child with skills to
stay safe and empower her to resolve the situation on her own.
How to handle it: Rehearse ways for your child to respond. For example, if your child has a sense of humor, she can use a retort like "No,
I'm not a baby, but thanks for asking," spoken in an assertive tone of voice. Otherwise, she can employ a strong "Cut it out"
before walking away. "Have her practice standing up straight, chest out, like she's wearing a bulletproof vest that taunts
bounce right off of," says Borba.
When to reconsider: If the bullying persists and your child feels threatened, get involved. If you are the one intervening on the playground,
nonchalantly pull your child out of the situation (snack time!) before discussing it. Talking to her in front of the bully
could be more embarrassing. If the bullying is at school, ask a teacher to keep an eye out. Most schools take bullying seriously―39
states have laws addressing it―so teachers should have practices in place. To learn more, check out stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov, which has suggestions for both parents and kids.
5. A teacher gave your child a C, but he thinks he deserved an A.
Should you butt in? Intervene only if your child will take part in the conversation with the teacher. "If you believe your child's points are
valid, say you'll make an appointment with the teacher but that he'll have to make the case," says Busey.
How to handle it: Have your child ask the teacher why she gave him the grade she did. "Hearing the feedback from the teacher will help him
fine-tune future assignments," says Busey. Helping your child line up his arguments beforehand is a great way to teach him
how to constructively approach a disagreement.
When to reconsider: If your child is prone to misreading or incorrectly copying down instructions, make sure you have the whole story before you jump to conclusions. A stellar report on blue whales is less so if the task was to write about smaller mammals of the sea.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Newly married at 28, I was looking forward to a cozy first Christmas with my husband when he uttered the dreaded words: "Hey, let's have some friends over for dinner on Christmas Eve!" I started to sweat. For many people the idea might sound fun and festive. Me? I hated, hated, hated dinner parties.
I'd been almost pathologically shy since I was a kid, and dinner parties were a diabolical combination of everything I either feared, loathed, or simply wasn't any good at: cooking, making small talk, and public speaking.
"Public speaking?" my husband asked as I attempted to explain myself. "These are our friends. You love talking to them."
"Sure, one-on-one," I answered. But dinner parties force you to address a group, I told him, even though it's a small one. For me that's enough to morph innocent gabbing into the thing that most Americans list as their number one fear in life: speaking to a crowd.
I was on the extreme end of the shyness spectrum, it's true (I'm a lot better now!), but it turns out I was in good company. Most people are a little shy sometimes. And while a dinner party with close friends may never have fazed anyone but me, I'd bet most of us feel a bit nervous walking alone into a gathering full of laughing strangers dressed up in their holiday best.
"Shyness is a basic human condition," says Philip G. Zimbardo, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford University and codirector of the Shyness Institute, in Palo Alto, California. Throughout the early '70s, Dr. Zimbardo and his colleagues undertook what became the landmark study on shyness. Of 10,000 American adults, 95 percent described themselves as currently shy, as having been shy in the past, or as being shy on occasion. A hefty 40 percent said they were shy with a capital S -- "chronically shy," researchers call it -- and when the Stanford team surveyed other countries, the numbers were similar. "Not to be shy is the exception," Dr. Zimbardo says. "Only 5 percent of the people in the United States believe they are never socially anxious."
In fact, shyness seems to be on the increase, says Bernardo J. Carducci, PhD, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, in New Albany, who attributes this spike to the rise of the virtual world. As more of our lives come to be lived online, we have fewer opportunities for in-person interaction. If you're shy, there's less pressure and less motivation to get out there and get over it.
But, I used to wonder, Why should I have to get over my shyness? Like most shy people, I flunked the classic test for extroversion: Does social contact energize or exhaust you? Do you come home from a party buzzing with positive excitement or depleted and haunted by the echoes of every stupid thing you said and did?
Depleted and haunted, that was my usual post-party hangover. Besides, experts like Drs. Carducci and Zimbardo are quick to say there's nothing intrinsically wrong with being shy. Shy people are often empathic and sensitive, good listeners and keen observers of human behavior (many writers and actors, from Emily Dickinson to Julia Roberts, identify themselves as shy). And a shy person's desire to spend time alone can be a very positive thing: It is doubtful that, had Albert Einstein been a party animal, he would have been able to shut himself off from the world long enough to give us E=mc^2. So wouldn't it be better if I just honored my shy nature and kept to myself?
Not really, experts say. Shyness is a barrier to social contact, and social contact is a basic human need. Research has shown that those who don't have enough of it tend to "experience more physical and emotional difficulties than well-connected individuals," according to Dr. Carducci. And in other studies, aspects of shyness have been linked to depression, cardiovascular disease, and reduced life expectancy. Gulp. Aren't sweaty palms and a pounding heart enough? Besides, it always felt as though I was born shy.
Perhaps I was. Some mental-health professionals have long theorized that a tendency toward shyness is at least in part a genetic predisposition, as natural as blue eyes or brown hair. Now we're starting to see proof: In a March 2008 study by the Massachusetts General Hospital's psychiatry department, researchers reported that they'd spotted a gene linked to shyness in children and introversion in adults.
It turns out you can fool Mother Nature, however -- shyness can be overcome, experts say. Psychologist Jerome Kagan of Harvard University and psychiatrist Carl E. Schwartz of Harvard Medical School have followed a set of shy people from age 2 to adulthood and found that about half of them eventually overcame their inhibitions. "Parenting, environment, and social opportunity -- all of those had enormous impact," says Dr. Schwartz.
Brain scans done by Dr. Schwartz on these formerly shy people suggest they had not permanently changed their nature, they'd simply learned social skills and coping mechanisms. When shown the faces of strangers, the subjects still had high activity in the regions of the brain that trigger the release of fear/flight hormones. That flood of adrenaline and cortisol accompanies the experience of intense emotions such as fear and anxiety in shy individuals when they encounter situations they find threatening -- talking to strangers, for instance, or entering crowds. Notes Dr. Kagan: "If you're born shy, it may be hard for you to become an extrovert, but you can move toward the middle."
Dr. Carducci gives the best advice any shy person could ever receive: Quit thinking about yourself! "Shy people are very self-focused," he says. We worry about whether we're good enough, smart enough, or likable enough without stopping to consider that others might have the same insecurities we do. "Be other-focused," Dr. Carducci recommends. Once shy people stop focusing on themselves, he says, their shyness no longer controls them.
It was precisely this idea that saved me that Christmas Eve. I realized the evening was about my guests, not me. "You don't have to be perfect," Dr. Carducci says. "You just have to be nice." And since nice is what shy people specialize in, when we're playing host we're actually playing to our strength.
I wanted to throw that dinner party, both for my husband and for myself, so I set about gearing up for it emotionally. I remembered visualization, a tip from my required high-school speech class (the teacher took pity on me and passed me because I was so hopeless). This time I was motivated to actually try the technique. I imagined a table set with my Battenberg lace tablecloth, wineglasses, and silverware. I saw myself swirling shellfish into a broth savory with wine and basil to make cioppino, the fish stew that's my family's holiday favorite. I could almost smell the nutmeg in my homemade eggnog.
For me the visualization technique -- "cognitive extroversion," Dr. Carducci calls it -- did the trick, helping to calm my nerves. Christmas Eve arrived and the cioppino and eggnog turned out perfectly. The centerpiece was a marvel of holiday greens and hand-strung garlands of cranberries. And I was able to turn my focus toward my friends and really play hostess. My guests left feeling that they'd been cherished. I even had a pretty good time myself.
Feel a little intimidated in a crowd? Leil Lowndes, author of Goodbye to Shy, shares her techniques for not just surviving but triumphing at holiday events.
1. Arrive while it's still a small party
You don't like big parties? Most Shys don't at first. And normally they wouldn't dream of showing up early, because they prefer to disappear in the crowd. Yet crowds are the big threat! Solution? Get there when there are just a few people milling about. It's the perfect way to "make a big party small." You'll meet everyone there, so you will know people who can introduce you to others later. speak first All that's required is, "Hi, my name is____. And yours?" Remember, people form an opinion of you in the first 10 seconds. Why waste the first five in uncomfortable silence waiting for them to greet you?
2. Sound dazzled over the dullest things
No matter how boring your acquaintance's words may be, respond as though that person just made the most enthralling revelation you've heard all week. Then you'll sound interesting to your listener. Conversely, no matter how boring you think your own statement is, present it in a this-is-the-greatest-thing-since-Velcro tone. And guess what? It will sound interesting to the other person.
3. Use names -- in moderation
Say someone's name in greeting and parting. It makes him or her feel more connected to you. But beware: If you use it too much, it will sound fake or come across as a nervous habit.
4. Ask "keep talking" questions
Leave uh-huh and okay behind and throw out some who? what? when? where? why? and how? questions. Your conversational companion will be thrilled that you want to hear more -- and you won't feel pressured to come up with convivial and clever responses.

The district will pay $325 per week for use of the pool. The renovated Montour Athletic Center, which includes a natatorium, is expected to open in February, district officials said.
Renovations on the building began in December 2011.
The weekly fee covers full weeks of use at the Boys & Girls Club pool; partial weeks will be pro-rated, according to the agreement.
The organization maintains several locations throughout the Pittsburgh region, including one in McKees Rocks.
The district's school board approved the measure at its meeting Thursday.
The board also approved a bid for athletic supplies totaling $41,910.05.

This post is an excerpt from the updated permanent Employment Charts page, which is updated regularly when new data becomes available. It also includes data on Unemployment Claims, Job Openings, and Federal Withholding Tax. You can bookmark that page for ready reference.
Total and Full Time Employment
Updated July 6, 2012 The number of persons employed full time in June rose by 1,390,000, not seasonally manipulated (from the household survey). That compares with a gain of 637,000 in June 2011. The average gain in June for the previous 10 years was 1,382,000.
The gain in June was the largest in 6 years. Taking the 3 months from April through June, this year's gain of 2.11 million was similar to 2011′s gain of 2.07 million but was below the prior 10 year average of 2.8 million, and well below the bungee rebound of 4.0 million in 2010. These numbers represent a modest but steady recovery, wholly consistent with the trend of the past 2 years and much better than the "sky is falling" headline seasonally adjusted numbers that everyone was moaning and groaning about on Friday.
Any time you see that much hysteria over a single data point, it's usually a good idea to be highly skeptical. Not that any of this has anything to do with stock prices. They may continue lower, but the employment data is not the reason. Fear of the unknown is. My focus is on full time rather than total employment. Part time jobs are nice, and for many that hold them, they are a lifeline, but the important metric here is full time jobs. Without those, we're dead. Full time employment grew far more than total jobs (corrected) in June. A huge number of workers moved from part time to full time employment.
The chart above gives some perspective on how far total employment and full time employment fell in the first stage of this depression, and how much they have yet to recover. The seasonally adjusted (SA) fiction is once again really screwing the pooch this month.
Seasonally adjusted numbers frequently veer away from reality by the very nature of the arbitrary seasonal adjustment process. Conomists and the media focus almost entirely on this nonsense, which attempts to compare one fictitious number with another fictitious number to derive a fictitious month to month change. Meanwhile they ignore the actual data.
If they're going to emphasize the seasonally adjusted fictional data, they could at least check it against the trend of the real data. The not seasonally adjusted (NSA) data is the actual data. The seasonally adjusted data is absolute fiction, and it frequently over or understates the real rate of change of the trend, and sometimes even goes in the opposite direction of the actual momentum of the trend. The conomic establishment tries to downplay the actual data by calling it "not" data as in "not seasonally adjusted," which carries the connotation that somehow "seasonally adjusted" (SA) without the "not" in front of it is the real thing, when the opposite is true.
Mainstream Wall Street and academic shill conomists cloud and obfuscate the facts by sticking them into a numbers grinder hoping the product will come out as a nice tasting numbers sausage that everyone can eat. Unfortunately, sausage, while tasty, isn't good for you when it's your entire diet. And if you actually knew what you were eating, you wouldn't eat it.
Wall Street and the shillcademic conomists are too lazy or too crooked to do the simple analysis of comparing year to year changes and the monthly rate of change in the real data to past years to get a clear picture of where the trend is headed. It's so easy to do when the data is placed on a chart. But unlike technical analysts who actually know how to read patterns and trends in noisy data, the vast majority of mainstream conomists who sell their souls just to get on TV, have no clue how to to do that. The process is so simple. Maybe that's the problem. They like complication because they think it puts the truth out of reach of the general public. In reality, the public gets it. It's the conomists who don't.
This charts shows the year to year trend line connecting the June data in both series along with the raw actual NSA data, and the SA fiction. Contrary to all the hand wringing over the jobs data, where the seasonally finagled data shows the trend slowing, the actual data shows clearly that the trend is not slowing.
July is usually the peak month for both total and full time employment. Here we are in June, and this year the numbers are already substantially ahead of last July. In fact, it broke last July's level in April. The economy was a couple months ahead of schedule in affirming the uptrend in jobs and the trend is accelerating.
Friday's jobs report was not the disaster that the pundits, the media, and the trading bot Al Gore rhythms seem to believe. Furthermore, the withholding tax data suggests that something is gaining, whether it is average compensation or jobs or both.
Stock market performance is at the mercy of the Fed (0r over the past 12 months the ECB, not shown), and employment typically follows them both. While at times there's a lag, the linkage is undeniable. However, over the past year, the SOMA has not reflected the impact of the Fed's MBS purchases from the Primary Dealers, a subject which I cover in depth weekly in the Fed Reports. That graph of Fed purchases from the Primary Dealers has been rising steadily since last September. By cashing out the dealers via these MBS buys, the Fed enables the dealers to buy more Treasuries. The next week, the Treasury spends that cash. That's how Treasury debt is immediately transformed into economic activity.
We all know that it's fake activity and can only be sustained as long as the Treasury Ponzi remains intact, but the fact is that it does remain intact, and it's resulting in steady gains in employment, including full time employment over the past year. The game should continue until the Fed picks up the marbles, or until the other players run out of chips, which probably won't happen as long as everyone is running away from the European gaming tables to play at the US casino.
Average Weekly Earnings
Updated July 6, 2012
Average weekly earnings growth returned to trend in June. After a strong gain in April, average weekly earnings collapsed in May. Year to year, the gain in average weekly earnings was 2.2%. Hourly workers did not do so well, as the year to year gain in average hourly earnings was just 1.1%. Salaried and commissioned workers did better.
While hourly wages were previously stagnating, they had been rising lately, with the average hourly wage up 2.7% in the 12 months through April. The past 2 months have seen a severe slowing in those gains as the number of full time workers has surged.
Hours worked were up slightly from 34.4 in June 2011 to 34.5 last month. So more people were working in June with slightly more hours and an overall 2.2% increase in average weekly earnings. Excess labor supply is slowly being absorbed. Unfortunately, labor supply absorption is too slow to result in any overall improvement in the real unemployment rate, which is likely to remain stuck for the foreseeable future around 15% including discouraged and under employed part time workers wanting full time work.

Another View: Sununu, Merrill, Benson show just how out-of-touch the GOP is
Last week I spoke with someone who is not a Democrat about recent comments by John H. Sununu. My friend asked, with some frustration in his voice, "Why doesn't someone tell him to just shut up?"
The former governor, along with former Republican governors Steve Merrill and Craig Benson, participated in a panel discussion about why Barack Obama was reelected. Sununu said that the President won the election because Democrats were able to turn out voters who are dependent on government. He used the example of Cleveland, stating that Democrats ran up big majorities there.
Why the reference to Cleveland, and not, oh, say, Concord, where President Obama racked up 67 percent of the vote, compared to Romney's 32 percent? Or Portsmouth, where the President doubled up Romney, 8,848 to 4088?
The answer could be that Cleveland's population is 53.3 percent African-American, or it could be because there are neighborhoods in Cleveland with a double-digit unemployment rate. Whatever the reason, Sununu's statement that President Obama was reelected because he appealed to those dependent on government was an insult to the American people and an insult to the 52 percent of the voters who gave Barack Obama a Granite State victory.
Sununu's comments reflect a troubling belief system that is not his alone. Merrill said he agreed with everything Sununu said. Benson went even further, stating the Democratic Party appeals to people by promising "stuff."
What all these former governors essentially believe is that most voters are lazy and can be bought with the dole. They are blind to the vast majority of Americans who are a hardworking people looking for an honest day's pay for an honest day's work, people who are strivers who want to support themselves and their families, regardless of race or ethnicity. The former governors are so ignorant about their fellow citizens that it is a wonder any of them ever managed to get elected to anything. No wonder there are those who just do not want to listen to anything they have to say.
Sununu, Merrill and Benson must not read the newspaper stories about thousands of people showing up at job fairs, like the one sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus in Atlanta a year ago. So many people showed up they had to stand in line for hours; some collapsed in the August heat. They haven't spoken to people here in New Hampshire who work two jobs to get by. They certainly haven't been talking to the people who work low-wage jobs for the dignity of a regular paycheck, even though their company's wage and hour structure means they qualify for food stamps. They don't know the college students taking out back-breaking debt for the opportunity to advance.
In the world of Sununu, Merrill and Benson, it is wise policy when they want to take or give away government help to those who don't need it. But when it is helping low-wage employees who aren't paid enough to insure their kids, or middle-class families trying to save their homes or send their kids to college, well, that's just us good-for-nothing Americans wanting stuff.
Compare those citizens to Sununu, who lost his government job as George H.W. Bush's chief of staff over his use of government jets and limos, to attend political fundraisers and visit ski lodges, golf resorts and his dentist in Boston. One trip, to the Vail ski resort, cost taxpayers $86,330. Talk about government dependency!
Then there is Benson, who said the Democratic Party promised voters "stuff." Here is my definition of wanting "stuff": taking millions in state and federal tax incentives to expand in Ohio, as Cabletron did. Cabletron promised to provide employment in exchange for the incentives, then subsequently closed the plant, leaving hundreds out of work.
Then there was Benson's war on the business profits tax. In 1990, Cabletron threatened not to expand in New Hampshire if the state did not reform the BPT to Cabletron's liking. Cabletron sued the state, claiming the tax was unconstitutional, refusing to pay $13 million in taxes until the law was changed. Merrill must remember Cabletron's demands; in 1993, Benson said that Gov. Merrill had promised to do whatever Rhode Island was doing to get Cabletron to expand there, "times 10." Times 10? Now that is giving away "stuff!"
It is time for Sununu, Merrill and Benson to stop trying to delegitimize Barack Obama's election with this notion that somehow those who voted for Romney are pure of heart, while those who did not are greedy moochers. It isn't true.
We voted for President Obama because as patriotic Americans who want what is best for our country, we think he will do a better job than Mitt Romney.

I wanted to do a mock draft that has plenty of trades. What else would I do?
We know that there are 17 free agents and 1 retiring player. There are another 4 players that may be leaving as well due to salary cap reasons.
The free agents are ...
Visanthe Shiancoe 31
E.J. Henderson 31
Erin Henderson 25
Husain Abdullah 26
Tyrell Johnson 26
Scott Kooistra 31
Fred Evans 28
Letroy Guion 24
Sage Rosenfels 33
Benny Sapp 30
Devin Aromashodu 27
Greg Camarillo 29
Jarrad Page 27
Lorenzo Booker 27
Xavier Adibi 27
Matt Katula 29
Kenny Onatolu 29 RFA
These free agents have 4 weeks left to get offered new deals. Who knows if they would accept the deals or would want to test the market? The team may want to wait to see what their market price will be and/or what other options may be out there.
The players that could be released and or traded are ...
Steve Hutchinson 34
Anthony Herrera 31
Cedric Griffin 29
Antoine Winfield 34
I think Winfield could stay since his salary has been lowered and Hutchinson could stay too.
I am not sure how much the Vikings will have available in free agency if they released all these players because there could still be some dead money from players released last year (Madieu Williams comes to mind) and if they release Griffin and Herrera. Also, Robison earned about an extra 1 mil or so too. I think they could have anywhere from 25 to 40 mil. It really is an exercise in futility trying to figure out exactly where a team is at in relation to the cap.
Here are the free agents I would target and hope to sign.
CB – Brandon Carr 25 6-0 207 4.43 - 6 year 52.5 mil
SS - Tyvon Branch 25 6-0 205 4.31 - 6 year 36 mil
LB - David Hawthorne 26 6-0 246 4.67 - 6 year 45 mil
WR – Laurent Robinson 26 6-2 199 4.38 - 5 year 27.5 mil
I only put four because I think the Vikings should try very hard to get just a few really good and young free agents and then fill in the rest of the roster via the draft, undrafted free agents, or the inevitable veterans that get released and can be had for cheap. I may be overly ambitious even in these four.
So now to the draft.
1. Indianapolis selects Andrew Luck QB obviously
I think St Louis wants badly to trade down but teams know that they will not select a QB and therefore can deal with the Vikings and give up less than they would have to give up to St Louis. The Vikings are in a pretty good spot and Spielman can put the word out to teams that they can do a deal with the Vikings instead of the Rams and give up less. Thus I think ...
2. St Louis selects Matt Kalil OT
So that leaves the Vikings in a pretty good position. They have told teams to make a deal with them instead of the Rams for less. Here is an article detailing the cost of acquiring a QB on draft day ...
Here is a little bit of that article ..
Could the Browns get the second pick from St. Louis for those two picks?
Not likely. The value of their two picks is 20 points light. But more important, precedent shows it takes multiple picks or players to acquire quarterbacks on or near draft day, not two:
Cleveland might be able to avoid giving up both its first rounders this year - general manager Tom Heckert and president Mike Holmgren have gone on record saying they got extra picks to rebuild the team - but it would have to give next year's No. 1.
I first thought that the Vikings should just take RG3 themselves to make sure they get a team to do a deal. But that is very risky for a team like Cleveland. Do they want to try and call the Vikings bluff? Do they want to let Washington or another team blow them out the water with a better deal while they are d*cking around? The Vikings would have no problem dropping down to #6 for Washington's first, second, and sixth (the one we gave to them for McNabb) this year plus their 1st and 3rd next year or something like that. Cleveland has picks this year to use to ensure they get their guy. Cleveland may want to hang onto the #22 pick this year but they could be bad again next year and that first round pick in 2013 has a good chance of being a top 10 pick. So they are better off giving up the #22 this year than a probable top 15 pick next year. I think the Browns will cave and the Vikings want picks this year to speed the rebuilding.
Thus, the Vikings trade the #3 pick to the Browns for the #4, #22, & #118 picks this year plus their 2013 4th round pick.
3. Cleveland selects Robert Griffin III QB
Now Minnesota has a couple of first round picks and can select Blackmon, Claiborne, or someone else like Trent Richardson perhaps. But Washington wants to be sure to get Justin Blackmon. Washington has Santana Moss (11 years), Jabar Gaffney (10 years), and Donte' Stallworth (9 years). These are old WRs. They need WR help bad just like the Vikings but at least the Vikings have Percy. The Redskins take a page out of the Falcons playbook and get the top WR in the draft. They may even sign a top free agent WR too.
Thus, the Vikings trade the #4 pick to the Redskins for the #6 and the #70 picks.
4. Washington selects Justin Blackmon WR
Next up is Tampa who needs all kinds of help but since Aquib Talib is always in trouble and Ronder Barber is really old and may retire they play it safe.
5. Tampa Bay selects Morris Claiborne CB
Now the Vikings are up again. But Buffalo really needs to get a defensive end and Coples is the top 4-3 DE easily.
Thus, the Vikings trade the #6 & #67 picks to Buffalo for the #10, #41, & #105 picks.
6. Buffalo selects Quinton Coples DE
Note: If the Vikings had any inclination of trading Jared Allen then picking Coples here would be the wise move. But trading Allen is not in this mock.
7. Jacksonville selects Dre Kirkpatrick CB
8. Carolina selects Devon Still DT
9. Miami selects Riley Reiff OT
So now the Vikings are finally ready to make their first pick. They have picks 10,22,35,41,70,comp,98,105,118,130,164,193,206,222,comp and an extra 4th round pick in 2013.
10. Minnesota selects Jonathan Martin OT
11. Kansas City who select Trent Richardson RB
12. Seattle selects Luke Kuechly LB
13. Arizona selects Courtney Upshaw OLB/DE
14. Dallas selects Peter Konz C
15. Philadelphia selects David DeCastro OG
16. New York Jets select Michael Floyd WR
17. Cincinnati selects Janoris Jenkins CB
18. San Diego Selects Melvin Ingram OLB/DE
19. Chicago selects Mike Adams OT
20. Tennessee selects Cordy Glenn OG
21. Cincinnati selects Mark Barron SS
22. Minnesota selects Michael Brockers DT 6-5 306 4.95
23. Detroit selects Alphonso Dennard CB
24. Pittsburgh selects Dontari Poe DT
25. Denver selects Jerel Worthy DT
26. Houston selects Kendall Wright WR
27. New England selects Fletcher Cox DT
28. Green Bay selects Nick Perry OLB/DE
29. Baltimore selects Dont'a Hightower ILB
30. San Francisco selects Mohammed Sanu WR
31. New England selects Alshon Jeffery WR
32. New York Giants select Dwayne Allen TE
33. St Louis selects Brandon Thompson DT
34. Indianapolis selects Brandon Washington OG
35. Minnesota selects Zach Brown OLB 6-1 236 4.48
36. Tampa Bay selects Lavonte David LB
37. Cleveland selects Zebrie Sanders OT
38. Jacksonville selects Whitney Mercilus DE
39. Washington selects Ryan Tannehill QB
40. Miami selects Kelechi Osemele OG
41. Minnesota selects Stephen Gilmore CB 6-1 195 4.52
42. Carolina selects Chase Minnifield CB
43. Kansas City selects Andrew Datko OT
44. Seattle selects Andre Branch DE
45. Dallas selects Jared Crick DE
46. Philadelphia selects Vontaze Burfict LB
47. New York Jets selects Vinny Curry OLB/DE
48. New England selects Markelle Martin FS
49. San Diego selects Nate Potter OT
50. Chicago selects Reuben Randle WR
51. Philadelphia selects Bobby Wagner LB
52. Tennessee selects George Iloka FS
53. Cincinnati selects Lamar Miller RB
54. Detroit selects Chandler Jones DE
55. Atlanta selects Coby Fleener TE
56. Pittsburgh selects Kevin Zeitler OG
57. Denver selects David Wilson RB
58. Houston selects Antonio Allen SS
59. New Orleans selects Travis Lewis OLB
60. Green Bay selects Billy Winn DE/DT
61. Baltimore selects Ben Jones C
62. San Francisco selects Ronnell Lewis OLB/DE
The Vikings jump back into the second round here by trading their 2013 2nd round pick plus pick #98 to the Patriots for pick #63. Maybe they would be interested in Winfield and then the 2013 pick could be a 3rd or 4th?
63. Minnesota selects Orson Charles TE 6-3 242 4.64
64. New York Giants selects Bobbie Massie OT
65. Indianapolis selects Trumaine Johnson CB
Now the Vikings want to get another 3rd round pick so they trade Chris Cook and a 2013 5th round pick to the Rams for pick #66.
66. Minnesota selects selects Alameda Ta'amu DT 6-3 337
67. Buffalo selects Nick Toon WR
68. Cleveland selects Cam Johnson DE
69. Tampa Bay selects Harrison Smith SS
70. Minnesota selects Brandon Boykin CB 5-9 183 4.44
71. Jacksonville selects Dwight Jones WR
72. Buffalo selects Shea McClellin OLB/DE

The announcement that she'd been cast in quite a meaty role in Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave naturally led some to wonder about her past work, given that, as I noted in that post, looking over her IMDB page, the Kenyan actress has primarily crew credits on a few projects, but little in the acting department. Although on her Twitter page, she lists herself as an actor first, a graduate of Yale School of Drama.
Well, something tells me that Lupita Nyong'o's life is about to change, as more folks become familiar with her name and face.
But let me not get ahead of myself...
What I learned in my digging into her background is that we actually profiled a project she acted in, first in 2010 and then again in early 2011, when it resurfaced. Her name wasn't in any of those posts, but her face most certainly was, which helped shake up my memory, when I Googled her name and saw a poster for the MTV Ignite Staying Alive project titled Shuga (photo above of Lupita with co-stars).
The first Shuga series (comprised of 3 twenty-four minute episodes) was filmed in Kenya in August/September 2009, starring a young cast of upcoming Kenyan actors and actresses, telling bitter-sweet tales of love, loss, sex and relationships, set in the clubs, bars, campuses and other hangouts of contemporary Nairobi - the intent being to give a raw view on the lives of sexually active young Kenyans, and highlight the risks associated with unprotected sex and the careless lifestyles of today's Kenyan youth, told through interconnected storylines.
Comparisons to Stateside MTV series were made, giving it labels like "Real World: Kenya" (it's set in Nairobi, Kenya - locally shot and produced), although it's not a reality TV series. It's all scripted drama, and, as you will see in the episodes below, was very much made for the young MTV crowd (not that that's a bad thing).
Lupita stars, playing Ayira in the first series of Shuga, and she then moved on to co-direct the follow-up, Shuga: Love, Sex, Money.
Watch all 3 episodes below for a glimpse at the abilities of the young lady who'll be gracing our movie theater screens next year, playing Patsey in 12 Years A Slave - a role that I've already said is quite significant, and while all the parts in the film can be described as demanding, I'd say that hers (aside from the star of the film) is probably the most challenging. She has at least 2 weighty scenes in the film, provided the final movie we see stays true to the book, as well as the draft of the script Vanessa wrote about here on S&A.
Watch below.

Thank you so much for posting this. I found myself weeping after episode 3. I was so touch by all of these peoples lives. Lupita is very charismatic and full of life.
Luce | June 16, 2012 8:33 PM
It's really good. It reminds me a little bit of Aya de Yopougon, the french comic. And as others has said, Lupita is gorgeous.
AccidentalVisitor | June 15, 2012 10:48 PM
This may be the wrong spot to place this but considering this is the most recent post regarding (to an extent) "Twelve Years" I felt it was okay to go ahead and do it anyway. Paul Giamatti was quoted with some very interesting things to say about his upcoming work in the film. Here is most of the article: Paul Giamatti has revealed that Twelve Years A Slave will be "grim". The Rock Of Ages star is the latest addition to Steve McQueen's historical drama, alongside Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Shooting will start down in New Orleans this summer. "It'll be interesting. It's a very grim film, a very big contrast to Rock Of Ages," said the actor. Chiwetel stars as writer Solomon Northup, a married man from New York who was tricked and sold into slavery for 12 years in Steve's big-screen adaptation of Northup's 1853 autobiography. Paul has been cast as Freeman, the man who takes possession of the slaves when they first arrive in New Orleans. "I play this real guy called Theophilus Freeman, who was the biggest slave trader in America at the time. His name was Freeman - how ironic!" Paul added. "He did all kinds of things: he trained them to be able to play music and dance so I have a lot of horrifying scenes. It's pretty grotesque. Unfortunately, none of the white people come off very well - it's pretty grim."

Not only is she gorgeous, she's got screen presence and charisma for days. No wonder she was cast as Patsy. She's got IT quality. She'll make the extreme and obsessive behavior Patsy inspires totally believable.

Someone has been trying to sell this baby pic for A LOT OF $$$$ -- allegedly the spawn of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. But sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... IT'S A FRAUD!
So here's what we're being told. Kim felt people in her world were going to hawk baby photos, so she wanted to catch the culprits quickly. We're told Kim hatched a plan and sent a half-dozen of her "friends" pictures of a baby she claimed was North West -- but we're told it was an impostor infant.
Sure enough ... someone came along and tried selling us this pic (above). Gotta say ... it looks like it could be Kim and Kanye's baby. It has the right ... well, you know ... but Kim would obviously pick a pic of an impostor baby that had the qualities of her own child.
Our K & K sources have seen the pic and claim it's not the real deal.
By the way ... we also got hold of another pic of a baby Kim sent to several other friends -- Bogus Baby #2. We're told she's waiting to see if someone tries to sell this one as well.
Kim previously said that her baby's name would start with a "K". Doesn't that make her daughter's name "Knorth" pronounced North just like "Knight" is pronounced NIght? Just wondering.......
I'm now convinced more than ever that Kim Kardashian has waaay too much time on her hands.
kim no friends kardashian
I dont beleive any thing the press say, they are always
making up stories the celebrities always say it's not true only believe it if they say so on twitter or interview
When it comes to selling the pics, the K's better act soon, as you Jessica Simpson and Duchess Kate ready to give birth.
what a WHORE! what loving mother "hatches a plan" when it comes to their newborn baby???? this baby is in for a long, pitiful, joke of a life.
What kind of s***bag does that to "friends"? And what kind of "friends" must they be to be involved with selling pics of a kid.
The Kardashians are pure trash, and Kanye is just as dumb for being involved with them.
Ahh, poor baby. Being used by Kim Kardashian for entrapment. Whoever that baby really is their parents should sue Kim for defamation.
So it's ok for Kim to take pics of other people's babies and send them to her friends to weed out what so called friend will sell her baby out for money??? Jesus ...Kim just do the photo shoot and sell the pics of your kid for the millions you plan to get and get it over with.
If this were my baby, Kim would see me in court! She is the most self centered person in the world. Quite frankly I could care less to see North West.
I hope she and her baby do sincerely well.
She is a new mother.......how does she find the time to pilfer fake baby photos and send them around just to see if they are stolen.......???? come on, folks.....what is this woman made of? I think we all know....
i really could care less but.. the baby was premature. these babies are too big. if she wants to fake people out she should send a picture of smaller kids.
NOBODY GIVES A FLYING F~~K! STOP reporting on these repugnant people!
As if this baby won't be all over the media, that family doesn't know how to keep anything away from a camera.

Sounds, Music and Visuals to Open Your Heart 'Like Pink Floyd with Love.'
Power of Love ConcertBrava Theater Center (2781 24th Street, San Francisco, CA) Map it $20
Sounds, Music and Visuals to Open Your Heart
"It's like Pink Floyd with Love."
Some of the top musicians & Sound Healers in the Bay Area
Rock Guitar (David Gilmour Style), Bass, Drums, Piano, Cello, Alto Sax, Didgeridoo, Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Bowls and Gongs and the Sound of Love Choir
This concert will be way more powerful than previous shows, but still filled with love, peace and stillness. We will take you through a journey to the depths of your soul to release stuck emotions, then progress through forgiveness and compassion, into unconditional love, joy, and finally -- gratitude.
7 Blessed Vocalists, Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Bass, Alto Sax, Cello, Piano, Crystal & Tibetan Bowls, Gongs and other Trinkets
We will be incorporating a wide range of subtle Sound Healing techniques from the Institute to activate each chakra and massage your auras. We will be holding an Intention of Love and Joy throughout the evening to create a delightful, enchanting, interactive, transformational experience.
"The last event was unbelievably powerful with 8 singers -- each channeling deep and beautiful energies through their voices. We went from beautiful angelic melodies that brought sweet tears to many eyes, to powerfully transformative movements that seemed to release deep stuck energy from the past. The piano, guitar, native american flute and cello sometimes supported the healing and enlightening work, and other times actually led it. However, when everyone came together in the Chakra Journey, Unconditional Love and Pachelbel Canon songs, it was like bringing love into a power. And then when it all ended, no one moved for about 15 minutes. It was like we were all in this deep ecstatic peace that wasn't going to go away. No one wanted to leave!"
This will be a sacred event celebrating the love around us. Designed to help us all to move into higher frequencies of compassion, love, joy.
$20 until Sept 25th, $25 after, $35 door.

Selimiye Mosque in Nicosia (2009)
The World > Europe > Cyprus > Nicosia
Selimiye Mosque in Nicosia was originally constructed during 1209 and 1228 as the Saint Sophia Cathedral. The Kings of Cyprus were crowned here until the Venetians took control of the island in 1489. This ancient building is the chief mosque in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

Nicosia, known locally as Lefkosia (Greek: Λευκωσία, Turkish: Lefkoşa), is the capital and largest city of Cyprus. It is located on the River Pedieos and situated almost in the centre of the island, it is the seat of government as well as the main business centre. Nicosia is the capital of the Nicosia District. Following the intercommunal violence of the 1960s, the capital was divided between the island's Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities in the south and north respectively. An attempted coup to unite the island with Greece in 1974 led to a Turkish invasion, leaving the capital divided since then, with Turkish Cypriots claiming the north as the capital of their own state, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (recognised only by Turkey). On 3 April 2008, as part of efforts to reunify the island, a symbolic wall dividing the two communities at Ledra Street was opened. South of the Green Line, the population of the city is 270,000 (late 2004), while a further 84,893 live in the north.[1] Nicosia is important commercially with many shops, two modern shopping malls, restaurants and entertainment. The city is a trade centre and manufactures textiles, leather, pottery, plastic, and other products. Copper mines are nearby. Nicosia is the seat of the University of Cyprus (UCY) and four other universities.

Katy Perry Reacts to Mall Shooting: "When Will There Be ACTUAL Change?"
Upset over the recent shooting at a shopping mall in Columbia, Maryland, Katy Perry took to Twitter on Saturday (January 25) to share her thoughts.
Engaging her followers, the "Dark Horse" singer began, "Is anyone else really sad about the constant stream of shootings and how normal it's becoming to see these headlines on a weekly basis?"
Appearing to urge gun control measures, she continues, "Scared to go to school? Scared to go to the mall? Scared to go to the movies? Me too. When will there be ACTUAL change? How many more?!"
Finally, the 29-year-old pop star concluded, "You and I both know this is getting embarrassing...My heart goes out to ALL the victims & their families this week. I pray for change."

That those of you Northwest Pac-10 fans should know oh so very well:
Oregon State RB Yvenson Bernard!
I saw it over at Seahawk Addicts, we released former UCLA DT Kevin Brown and grabbed Yvenson. Although I thought that Brown sounded like a nice prospect and there are some better options to release on the squad, I am really excited to see Bernard. This is the guy that I wanted the Hawks to draft as a prospect at the position after seeing him tear up some very good defenses. He is a pounding, relentless rusher who plays banged up, reminiscent of another former OSU back: Steven Jackson. He wasn't drafted because of a poor combine and a slow 40, but we all know that a 40 isn't an indication of skill. I'm pretty stoked to see him next pre-season.

Jay Lehr
Lehr on Groundwater and Agri-Business
While listed [1] as a "global warming expert" for the Heartland Institute, according to his bio [2], Lehr is a "leading authority on groundwater hydrology" - the study of water resources below ground.
According to another bio [3], Lehr is an, "Economist and Futurist [who] makes people feel good about the environment and American Agriculture. He combines 5 decades of expertise and experience in Agricultural Economics, Agronomy, Environmental Science and Business Administration with the most contagious enthusiasm for the future of the American Farm and Ranch."
Lehr and the Heartland Institute
Lehr is science director and senior fellow of the Heartland Institute [4], a Chicago-based free market think tank that attacks the scientific evidence for human-caused climate change. The Heartland Institute has received over $791,000 [5] from oil-giant ExxonMobil since 1998.
The tobacco industry has also been a regular funder to the Heartland Institute, with at least $190,000 [6] coming from Philip Morris since 1993. The Heartland Institute maintains a smoker's rights section on its website called "The Smoker's Lounge." [7]
Lehr on Public Speaking and Public Stoning
Since this briefing note is being prepared in advance of a public conference, [8] here's a 1985 article written by Lehr titled, "Let Their Be a Stoning." [9] Lehr describes a conference in which he took it upon himself to publicly humiliate a scientist in front of 200 colleagues because he found his speech boring.
Lehr writes: "Trembling I spoke, I told him and the audience that his paper was an insult which had obviously bored and irritated a kindly groups of scientists who deserved better. Those who kept awake refrained from stoning him, though they surely had adequate cause."

Very nice theme, I would like to buy this one. But how about using this theme whith Domain Access module is Regular Licence valid for one drupal installation whit Domain Access module enabled. DA module is used to divide content into few domains but this is still one copy of Drupal and one copy of template.
@mkalisz: – Hello, I am not sure what would be Envato policy in this case, you might want to discuss about this with Envato support?
You can read more about licensing terms here: – http://themeforest.net/wiki/support/legal-terms/licensing-terms/
Let me know.

I may be picking this up for a client but have a question. Is there the ability to create various looks for each section of a site. For example I have 5 major sections,(1,2,3,4,5,) and each have areas (a,b,c,d,) within that section. I would like to modify the colors and potentially the layout so that each section has it's own feel.
@Layers: – Hello, Yes, that can be achieved but for that you will do lot of css work. You will need to write up css for different pages based on their node id's or you can create separate content types and can use that content type classes to theme the different sections by writing your own css code.
Let me know.

Is there a way to delete the menu items like "Auto, Education, Health, etc" ? In my menu admin, none of those items actually has a "delete" link available. Only the ones I entered do.

I just purchased your Simple theme (I already have your City Magazine theme). They are both fabulous! I have a question about the slide-text box on the Simple theme feature slide show. It works perfectly on Firefox, however on IE8 , the first slide-text is OK but subsequent slide-text boxes remain positioned low and partially hidden. It is evident also on your demo site. I realize it is something with the browser because when I change the IE8 to "compatibility mode" it is OK. It wouldn't be a problem except a lot of people have IE8 . Any ideas what it might be?
I figured it out. I should have looked more carefully before I sent the note. I just adjusted the Slide Text Settings on the Dynamic Display Block to "Basics- Hide" of the Before Effect setting.
The whole theme is absolutely beauitiful! Thanks, Themesmania
@dserey: – Ok that's great David .

In the words of Morningside senior quarterback Joel Nixon, Saturday afternoons nail-biting 40-35 win over Montana Tech, wasn't the prettiest.
But, for the seventh time in school history, the 3rd ranked Mustangs are in the NAIA FCS quarterfinals.
They'll host 10th ranked Southern Oregon on Saturday, November 24th.The Raiders hail from the Frontier Conference, and were co-champs with Montana Tech.
Southern Oregon brings the No. 1 ranked offense to Sioux City to battle Morningside's top ranked defense.
After trailing 13-0 in the second, players and coaches agree, it was good for Morningside to face some adversity.
"13-0 at that time we needed to get a drive going and we needed to get some points on the board and just build some confidence into our defense," Head Coach Steve Ryan said. "And, our defense battled all day and they just needed to see from our offense that we could put the ball in the end zone."Kick off is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Elwood Olsen Stadium.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Attorney General Marty Jackley's office is hosting the 15th annual Pie Day in the state Capitol on Saturday.
The annual free event includes free pie, cookies, coffee and ice cream and entertainment.
Pie Day began when Mark Barnett was attorney general.
He told workers at a polling place that state law prevented them from offering snacks or goodies to voters. Instead, he invited them to Pierre to have pie, and the annual event has been going on each year. It now attracts hundreds of people.
Saturday's event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Forgive me for criticizing Lou Lamoriello, the man that I have referred to as a businessman and a sports icon, but in times like this, I must. This all started when Lou traded Johnny Oduya for Kovalchuk. Our team clearly could not afford to lose a guy like Oduya, and it showed in the stretch and playoffs. Now it looks like our star player will be leaving too. Bergfors might turn out to be a solid, 25 goal scorer too, plus we lost our 1st round pick in a strong draft year. Great attempt to get Kovy, but a bad time to do it. Sometimes emotions get the best of you, right?!
Now, the long-term effect of my criticism has to do with Lou's attitude on coaching. Lou believes in building from within, as we have drafted Parise, Zajac, Corrente, Tedenby and Josefson in the first round recently, and none of those picks have come in the top 15. Letting key players go has not hurt us severely, although we have not won a championship or even made the conference finals since the departure of Niedermayer/Stevens/Daneyko, etc. As a matter of fact, we have not been that far since we won it all in 2003, the longest drought in Devils history (1982-1988 being the second-longest).
When it comes to coaches, however, Lamoriello seems reluctant to build from within. All three Stanley Cup championship teams had members of the Montreal Canadiens (either as a player, coach, manager, or two of them) as the head coach: Jacques Lemaire, Larry Robinson and Pat Burns. In addition, Canadiens goaltending draft pick Kevin Constantine and ex-Habs coach Claude Julien have also been around the block with our organization, making five total head coaches out of the Montreal organization. More recently, Lemaire returned and Brent Sutter had a stint here. The bottom line is, Lou isn't willing to give a former Devil the opportunity the chance to develop as head coach in the NHL.
John MacLean was the assistant coach at the NHL level with New Jersey, and then moved to AHL Lowell at the beginning of the 2009-10 season. In my mind, he is ready to take the next step. MacLean would institute the offensive system needed yet pay attention to defense so that Lou would not have a heart attack watching Devils games. MacLean was obviously a long-time Devil, and fans (myself included) would love to see him take over behind the bench, with Stevens and Daneyko as head alternates. That would complete a home-grown coaching staff, with Terreri coaching the goaltenders.
Another very logical choice would be the man that was brought in as the assistant coach in Montreal under Michel Therrein, but served most of his time in Montreal under Guy Carbonneau and last season under Jacques Martin. That would be former Devils' first round pick Kirk Muller. Muller has the potential to be a more offensive coach, but then again, he was the assistant under the defensive Martin in 2009-10. Although Muller has never had a head coaching stint behind the OUA, he would be my selection right now, and he has been throughout the process thus far. MacLean would obviously fit the team, and I think we would all love to see him behind the bench, but Muller would be the best fit for our team right now.
So now, Lou, it is up to him to give someone a chance, like he gives his players a chance, to develop into a head coach in New Jersey for a long time. He can try Muller or MacLean out (it looks like Guy Boucher is Tampa Bay's new coach), or go with Keenan or Hitchcock, and the team will remain the same for the new two years and then we will be in the same position we are in right now. It is up to Lou. Is he ready?
