Former Kentucky Wildcat player and assistant coach Reggie Hanson has landed himself a heading coaching job.
In Japan.
Hanson is now the head coach of the Shimane Susanoo Magic in the Japan-BJ League.
This from The Japan Times:
The 45-year-old Hanson served as a longtime University of Kentucky assistant coach (2000-07) after his playing days. He was a University of South Florida assistant from 2007-11, and then USF's director of basketball operations through the spring of 2013.
"I want to thank Shimane management for the opportunity to coach the team," Hanson said in a statement.
"I am very excited to bring a fun style of basketball to the Shimane community."
What's his immediate focus?
"Developing offensive and defensive fundamentals will be my main focus to improve the team," he said.
"It's great to be back in Japan," added Hanson, who has a bachelor's degree in education.
Hanson starred for the Isuzu Motors squad in 1993 and played for JBL rival Denso from 1994-98, while also serving as an assistant coach. He starred for Aichi Kikai from 1998-2000 as a player and assistant coach. At various stages of his distinguished JBL career, he led the league in scoring, rebounding, steals and blocked shots.
I guess basketball truly can take you anywhere.

UNC linebacker Travis Hughes has been charged with assault after a confrontation with a parking officer. Suspended from all team activities.
— Mark Armstrong (@ArmstrongABC11) January 23, 2014
Chapel Hill parking strikes again!
This tweet from WTVD's Mark Armstrong consistutes the extent of what we know at this point. UNC has not officially released any information Travis Hughes' status.
The junior linebacker from Virginia Beach was fifth on the team in tackles with 76 in 12 games during the 2013 season. He also recorded one sack, 1 pass break-up, 1 pass defended, five QB hurries and recovered one fumble.
The suspension from team activities is largely moot at this stage since UNC hasn't started spring football. It remains to be seen how long the suspension will remain in place or how much bearing the legal aspect has on it.

When I bought them they were labelled winter flowering violas and they have smaller flowers than I one usually sees on pansies, so I mean violas.
Do you mean you have left spaces in the brickwork in which you can put plants, rather like people insert plants in the side of a hanging basket? I don't know what kind of soil you have inside the brick container but my immediate thought was alpines as alpines happily grow in dry stone walling and between rocks. It also depends on drainage and whether your container gets a lot of sun, partial sun, no sun at all.
I recently bought a beautiful dwarf cherry tree, Prunus avium Stella, Gisela 5. It seems happy in its large pot and has several embryo cherries starting to swell. I know little about these trees, particularly dwarf (Gisela 5) and have tried to understand all the conflicting information given on the internet, including YouTube. I understand they have a central leader and that the idea is to have branches growing at a good angle and not overlapping each other but growing more in a spiral with about 10 inches in between branches up the trunk. BUT, nowhere can I find any information about pruning back the tips, or ends, of those branches. To cut or not to cut? I want to encourage the growth of fruit each year and am afraid of doing the wrong thing. Do I leave? Do I just cut back the tips? Or do I cut back harder? I also understand the right time to prune this cherry tree is after harvesting the cherries in late summer, to avoid disease.
I planted a small border of winter flowering violas last autumn and although the plants were small they flowered all winter, even through heavy snow. Once the weather started to warm, the plants filled out and now I have a dense border of colour and they are still going strong. You can see them on my own website called Gardeners Word. The violas have such a lovely perfume when they are grown together like this. But I wonder if it is a fluke that they have done so well. They get a fair amount of sun (when there is sun!) and shade throughout the morning.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Drake Says Yeezy's Now His Competition: Should Kanye Be So Appalled? [Click Here & Speak]
Friday, Oct 28, 2011 12:10AM
Aw, man. I'm pretty sure an egomaniac like Kanye West views his only competition as Michael Jackson and ironically, the man in the mirror. For a relative newcomer like Drizzy Drake to hit the scene and basically say he's running neck-to-neck with rap's Liberace is some cray sh*t.
Peep this recent quote by the Young Money spitter:
Just weeks before the release of his sophomore effort Take Care, Drizzy further acknowledges that the throne is for the taking. "When I was a kid trying to figure out what I liked, it was [Kanye] who I related to the most. He was an artist, in every sense, from his cover art to his music. Now, I would say he was a really great competitor...." (The Source)
Don't get me wrong: The Drizzy is still officially only one album deep and has achieved alot in his career thus far. But Thank Me Later isn't touching The College Dropout, which is still one of the strongest debut Hip Hop albums of the past ten years or so.
The two have worked together on a few occasions, and have never really had anything but respectful words to share with one another, so it's cool to see two very successful cats maintain a decent working relationship and whatnot, but seriously: Does a dude like Kanye see Drake as competition? You never know what you'll get with Yeezy, his next album could be a collaboration, a breakup anthology or even entirely in Spanish. So its hard to really compare him to anyone for the simple fact that one can never predict what he's gonna hit you with next.
SOHH Watcha Think -- Are Kanye and Drake really on the same level, or should the G.O.O.D. Music top dog be so appalled at such an idea?
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]

Who's got money on the Wild tonight? Just curious who I should be laughing at.
There are so many factors working against the Wild in tonight's game, that only a hugemongous mental breakdown by the Flyers gives the Wild any chance. Not to be a negative Nancy, but is there anything at all in the past three weeks that has given someone the impression that the Wild can keep up with a team like the Flyers? That's a real question. Has anyone got anything?
I have a feeling most Wild fans are taking tonight off. It's just a feeling. I could be wrong. Hope to see the comment thread full tonight, of course. Not counting on it, but would love to see you here to at least commiserate.
Short Walk today. Enjoy.

Now, in the past, he has been fairly entertaining. At some point along the way, he ran out of material, started writing for too many sites, or his creative processes shut off. I like a joke in the direction of the Wild as much as anyone else (I really do), but these posts have fallen back to relying on the same old jokes. I keep waiting to tune in and see that the Wild are a boring trap team.

Third Fasting Blood Sugar Test
On Tuesday, Amanda went in for her third (!) test for gestational diabetes (GDM).
Her first test, where she had to drink 50 grams of glucose and they measured her blood sugar an hour later she failed. That brought on a "comprehensive test" which was supposed to tell us definitively whether or not she had gestational diabetes.
For the comprehensive test, they made her drink 100 grams of glucose and measured her blood sugar three times for the next three hours. She passed this test, but still was made to have dietary counseling and go in for yet another GDM test, even though this "comprehensive test" was supposed to tell us one way or the other if she had GDM or not.
Well, Amanda's third test results are in and, of course, she passed. They made her take her blood sugar after fasting overnight and it was 78 mg/dL. The normal range for fasting blood sugar is anywhere from 65 to 95, so she was perfectly in range. Then they made her eat her breakfast at the doctor's office and drew her blood two hours after that. Her second draw was 87 mg/dL, which is still in the normal range. The doctor said that he would consider anything over 120 mg/dL two hours after eating as high, but hers wasn't anywhere near that. That's the good news.
But despite passing the third test, and despite passing the second "comprehensive" test, the doctor is making her come in two more times for two-hour fasting blood draws. After that, if she passes, he says he will "lay off" as he was obviously astute enough to recognize we were getting irritated coming in and paying for tests for seemingly no reason.
Does this seem crazy to anyone else? Why are we being forced to prove that we don't have GDM even after the tests say everything we are doing is completely within range?Subscribe to our RSS feed!
Short version – YES THIS IS CRAZY.
Long(er) version – YES THIS IS CRAZY. One of the unintended consequences of being a parent is receiving unsolicited/unwanted advice. Everyone has an opinion. I know you don't know me from Eve, other than the comments I've left on your blog. But from one parent to another, I hope you know that you do not have to be treated like this. You have the right to refuse tests. You have the right to say, "NO." You have the right to choose how you want to go through your pregnancy, how you want to go through delivery, etc. You ahve the right to choose another doctor, if he/she is not respecting your wishes. You are the PARENTS here, and you have the POWER to make those decisions. Above anything else, I wish I would have known that I had the power to make those decisions when I was 19, pregnant and alone.
Take care of yourself and each other. Take care of that beautiful precious gift growing inside of you. I know you will.

The project
english>Trade fairs and congresses>MiCo-Milano Congressi>The project
The MiCo-Milano Congressi project bears the signature of architect Mario Bellini for its external structural design and of architect Pierluigi Nicolin for the interior spaces, and reconverts part of the fieramilanocity exhibit area to congress space (pavilions 5 and 6) integrating it with the adjacent congress center, the largest in Italy. The utmost care was taken to ensure the harmonious blending of the new complex with the new surrounding urban fabric, its energy sustainability and its architectural excellence. A bold statement is made by the highly original luminous covering – 15,000 square meters – known as the Comet – that drapes and unifies the various underlying building units.
As far as the interiors are concerned, the meeting rooms are designed for flexibility, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and are consistent throughout. The auditorium has fixed seating, while the large plenary theater has removable seating, allowing it to become a single large space.

Thanks to the Redszone message borad, I was ble to find this clip from the FSN broadcast:
It's not of the best quality, but you get an idea of what some of the players had to wear. Homer's outfit is pretty well chosen I think lol.
Side note, when I was searching for this, I came across a few different smutty sites. I can't believe the number of people that just go online posting smut about MLB players. (A particularly bad one was named something like talk-sports.net) The comments are kind of like a really bad day at Fay's blog. There are probably already 20 rumors about Rosales's illegitimate kids, drugs and or girlfriends since the last time I was at the site.

5e. Have a friend help you hold the
Castle up to the wall, lining it up with
the marks you made for the top edge,
and insert a pencil into each hole to
mark where you'll be drilling on the wall
(this helps ensure accuracy). Then lay
the Castle back down on the floor and
drill 2" into the wall at each marked
point, with the u" drill bit.
5f. Put each lag bolt and washer
together, then insert into the drill
holes. Using a rachet, screw into the
wall until snug.
NOTE: Tighten until
the cardboard surrounding the bolts is
compressed slightly,
as shown (you don't
want them too tight
or too loose).
6a. To attract Kitty to her new playground, rub it thoroughly with organic
dried catnip. Crush the catnip between
your fingers to release the aroma and
make it extra fragrant. Then rub catnip
all over the sawn surfaces, using extra
for the sides of the central tower to lure
her up there. If Kitty isn't compelled to
make the initial leap, insert small pieces
of her favorite dry treat in the corrugate
openings — that'll get her moving.
So, how does the Castle rate with the
toughest customer, a domestic short-hair cat? Mademoiselle, my pastel
calico model, wouldn't say, but her
reaction spoke volumes. As soon as
the Castle was installed, she promptly
got busy connecting with her inner
tiger, navigating the vertical maze,
scratching, stretching, leaping, pausing calmly atop a battlement to groom
herself and purr with satisfaction, and
generally regarding the Catnip Castle
as her royal domain.

Home > Innovation > 2010 Fourth Quarter > Cancer Care Reimbursement Model
UnitedHealthcare is conducting a pilot study with leading oncology groups to fight the most common cancers in creative, practical ways. There are two aspects of the study:
Smarter reimbursement
Under the current system, oncologists recommend a specific treatment program that commonly includes chemotherapy drugs and administers them to the patient in his or her office. The oncologist then bills the patient's health nsurance plan or payer for the retail price of the drugs, plus a charge for administering the drugs.
This new reimbursement model pays a new patient care fee for a patient's total cycle of treatment it represents the profit margins oncologists made from the drugs. It will remain the same no matter what chemotherapy drugs are given, but the drug cost is always reimbursed. The new program, in effect, separates the oncologist's income from drug sales while preserving his or her ability to maintain a regular visit schedule with the patient.
Clinical best practices
Each medical group will choose a standard chemotherapy regimen for one of 19 clinical presentations and participate in performance reviews of their data to identify best practices. Treatment regimens will be evaluated based on the number of emergency room visits, incidence of complications, side effects and, most importantly, health outcomes that is, which treatments do the best job of fighting cancer.
As oncologists share best practices about which treatments are most effective with no loss of revenue for the physician we hope to see consistently improved patient outcomes.

Saint Francis Hospital is telling women the truth about their heart.
On Tuesday, the hospital hosted its tenth annual "Heart Truth for Women" luncheon, which featured Emmy-winning actress Tracey Conway.
Conway herself suffered cardiac arrest while on the set of a television comedy having to be revived by medical professionals.
The focus of today's event was to teach women the importance of heart disease, which is the number one killer of women.

In the first half Friday night against West Lafayette Harrison, it didn't look like it would be a good start to 2014 for the Western Boone boys basketball team.
But the second half was a different story. The Stars erased a 19-point deficit and out-scored the Raiders 46-19 in the second half to win 64-54.
"You saw the true resiliency of this group of young men," Western Boone head coach Scott McClelland said. "I know that is kind of coachspeak, but you really did. From where we were at the beginning of the season, we just continue to grow and get better throughout the year. It was just major contributions from different kids throughout the course of the night."
After starting 0-5, the Stars have now won three straight.
McClelland said this was an important game to continue the success they had started before Christmas break.
"I think for us more than anything, this was another game for us to build," McClelland said. "We got better right before Christmas, I thought we got better during Christmas break and I thought tonight was important because we were playing a good, well-coached team. It just added momentum for us as we head into a busy week. I made the comment after the Fountain Central win that we were back on the course. Now, not only are we back on the course, we are moving forward on it. We aren't moving full speed yet, but we are moving."
The Stars trailed by seven after a quarter, but saw the Raiders continue to build the lead in the second quarter, leading by 19 with 1:15 left in the half.
Western Boone ended up trailing by 17 at the intermission, but McClelland said there wasn't any panic in the locker room.

Malcolm Jenkins - #27 - S
|6' 0"/ 204 lbs.
|Piscataway, NJ
|Ohio State
|Years played
|2009, 1st round, 14th pick by Saints
Saints place S Jenkins on injured reserve
The Saints announced Saturday that they have placed FS Malcolm Jenkins and OT Charles Brown on injured reserve.
Week Seven Players of the Week
This week, PFW selects Chris Johnson, Malcolm Jenkins and Andy Lee as its Players of the Week.
Saints still looking to FS Jenkins for spark
The Saints could not be more pleased with Malcolm Jenkins' leadership, but he and other Saints defenders are going to have to start playing more opportunistically.
Saints FS Jenkins a disappointment in 2011
Expectations were raised for Malcolm Jenkins in 2011 as he entered his third season, and perhaps the bar was set too high.
Saints FS Jenkins ready, willing to lead
Saints FS Malcolm Jenkins is getting more comfortable speaking up and taking on a leadership role as he enters the second half of his third season.
Overcoming injuries against Seattle won't be new drill for Saints
The Saints beat the Seahawks, despite having several key players sidelined, earlier this season, and they may be facing similar circumstances when they get the postseason underway at Qwest Field Saturday.
Opportunistic 'D' keys Saints' late run
The Saints started the season slowly, but with veteran S Darren Sharper back healthy and second-year FS Malcolm Jenkins playing well, the Saints' defense has returned to its "Super" form.
Week 14 Players of the Week
This week, PFW selects Patriots QB Tom Brady, Saints FS Malcolm Jenkins and Cardinals PK Jay Feely as its Players of the Week.
Brees, Jenkins lead Saints past Rams
Drew Brees threw for three scores, Malcolm Jenkins returned one of his two interceptions 96 yards for his first career touchdown, and New Orleans won its sixth straight game 31-13 over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
Sharper a boon for Saints' defense
FS Darren Sharper's importance to the Saints' defense can't be overstated, according to team observers.
Saints activate Sharper from PUP list
New Orleans has activated FS Darren Sharper from its physically-unable-to-perform list, and he could play in Sunday's game vs. the Browns.
Saints FS Sharper says he's ready, but team not expected to rush return
The Saints have been careful not to drop any hints when it comes to their plan for FS Darren Sharper, who will be eligible to be activated off the PUP list in Week Seven.
Jenkins eases Saints' concerns about absent Sharper
Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has plenty of confidence that Malcolm Jenkins can fill the void at free safety until Darren Sharper is healthy.
Report: Saints FS Sharper lands on PUP list
Five-time Pro Bowler Darren Sharper is reportedly going to start the season on the PUP list, keeping him out of the Saints' first six games as he recovers from offseason microfracture knee surgery.
Position change for Saints CB Jenkins unlikely
While the Saints might have to replace FS Darren Sharper next season, we hear the team is not eager to move CB Malcolm Jenkins to free safety in order to fill the void.
The Saints have scratched middle linebacker Jon Vilma and free safety Malcolm Jenkins for Sunday's game against Carolina.||||||| Jenkins emerged from last week's victory over Atlanta with a sore neck, but was able to practice on Thursday and Friday.
Jenkins has apparently hurt his right knee while tackling Tampa Bay running back LaGarrette Blount on the team's first defensive series Sunday. Blount had a 16-yard gain when he tried to go through Jenkins' tackle along the sideline.||||||| Jenkins struggled to get up and then went back down while trainers examined him before finally walking off the field on his own. After Jenkins made his way to a table behind the bench, trainers wrapped up his knee. Jenkins then paced around flexing the knee, but did not return with Saints starters on the next defensive series as Darren Sharper stepped in for him. Saints officials did not immediately update Jenkins' condition.
Jenkins was fined $10,000 for two hits, one to the head area of Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman and one out of bounds.||||||| The fine was announced Friday.
The Saints scratched Jenkins from their game Sunday at Miami because of his sore left ankle.||||||| Jenkins, the Saints' top draft pick last spring, was not a starter, but has played in five- and six-defensive back sets. He also has stood out on special teams, forcing fumbles on kick coverage in each of the previous two games. Jenkins hurt his left ankle during the Saints' 27-7 win at Buffalo a week ago and did not practice all week.
Jenkins and the Saints agreed to terms Sunday night on a five year contract, opening the way for the former Ohio State standout to report to training camp. The team did not release financial terms.||||||| Jenkins, the Saints' first-round draft pick at No. 14, has missed the first 10 days of camp, including the club's scrimmage on Saturday. Currently, Jenkins is slotted as a backup, with Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter the expected starters at corner. Jenkins started 45 games in a four-year career at Ohio State that earned him first-team All-America honors and the Jim Thorpe Award as a senior. He had 11 career interceptions, returning two for touchdowns.

`Dealer to be penalised for violating sales tax norms'
Our Legal Correspondent
Chennai , Nov. 23
The Madras High Court has ruled that penalty for contravention of TN General Sales Tax Act, 1959 and availing of concessional rate of tax (against Form XVII) should be imposed on purchaser of the goods and not on seller.
The First Bench, consisting of Chief Justice Mr A.P. Shah and Mr Justice K. Chandru, who heard a writ appeal from a Coimbatore firm challenging the order of a single judge upholding the assessment order of Commercial Tax Officer, Coimbatore, imposing penalty, said that a reading of Section 3(3) of the Act would establish that seller was not made liable for wrong declaration under Form XVII by purchasing dealer.
The appellant-assessee was a dealer in machinery spares. Though the assessing authority had accepted turnover reported by appellant and also mentioned that purchases were covered by proper bills, the authority rejected turnover relating to concessional rate of tax against Form XVII.
This was assessed at 12 per cent on grounds that the purchaser had not bought the goods for use in manufacture of other goods. Consequently, the assessing authority assessed tax and imposed penalty under Section 12(3)(b) of Act.
The appellant contended that as purchasing dealer had contravened condition of Form XVII, tax and penalty could be imposed only against purchasing dealer and not against appellant who was selling dealer.
The Court has held that the manner in which the purchaser had dealt with goods was not concern of the seller and liability could be fastened only upon purchasing dealer and not seller.

I'm asking the question because there seems to be no shortage of differing opinions among those who follow the Astros online.
My assumption was that he had a full no-trade clause for the life of his contract, but now I think that's wrong. For one thing, Cot's indicates that the full no-trade clause is only from 2007-2010. (the complete no-trade idea is repeated here along with the claim that Lee has refused to waive his no-trade clause 3 times. However, there's no source referenced and the author isn't that reliable.)
I thought I read some posts in spring training that implied or claimed that Lee's full no-trade expires after this season, and he doesn't have any trade protection next season, but after the 2011 season he has 10-5 rights, so he can veto any trade. (See the Astros Fan Blog at the Chronicle for that opinion.) So the thought is that there would be a window where it might be possible to offload him. However, aside from the posts that mention that idea, I can't find anything to back it up.
I am now of the opinion that Lee will retain some kind of limited no-trade clause for next season and beyond. First, I did find this report by ESPN from 2006 when Lee signed with the Astros that states it. It doesn't describe the nature of the no-trade clause, but says that it exists. Second, it seems likely that if a player was concerned enough to negotiate a no-trade clause for the first four years, he wouldn't completely abandon that demand, especially in the later years of the contract.
I also found this link, from a site I haven't used very much, that says that before next season (2011), the Astros and Lee must agree to 12 teams that he cannot be traded to without his consent and those will serve as the limited no-trade clause for the final 2 seasons of the contract. What isn't clear is whether or not Lee will also be able to exercise his 10-5 rights in the final season of the contract. I don't know if that is a "right" a player can negotiate away in return for other terms, such as the limited no-trade clause in the 2011. I'd guess that he can contract to waive that right, but I don't have any way to confirm that.
Even the half hour I've wasted on this seems pointless. I have a hard time seeing how the Astros are going to be able to move Lee for much in the next couple of seasons. If he can really block a trade to 12 teams, then it seems it would be pretty easy for him to strategically choose the ones most likely to be willing to accept a player like him. In reality, as long as he is close to his offensive numbers of the past couple seasons, his contract isn't obscene, but merely distasteful. For me, his worst offenses are the perceived attitude of not really caring that much, the apparent lack of effort and the fact that he represents the worst of McLane's excesses. What can you say about a ballplayer who puts proximity to his ranch above playing for a winning team? It's Drayton's money and if he needs to suffer for wasting it on a half-assed ballplayer like Lee, so be it. I just wish I didn't have to watch him.

President Barack Obama has carved out a clear advantage in the White House race even as he juggles the demands of his re-election campaign with managing a raging Middle East crisis.
Obama appears to be enjoying a resilient bounce following the Democratic National Convention nearly two weeks ago, while his Republican challenger Mitt Romney has struggled to land telling blows.
The US leader has a small but definite advantage in most national polls of the race to the November 6 election, and more importantly looks strong in swing states that will decide whether he wins a second term.
But while he has benefited from the advantages of incumbency, including an ability to appear statesmanlike, Obama could also experience its downside if anti-US feeling racing through the Muslim world takes another deadly turn.
So far, Obama appears to have avoided missteps following the deaths of four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya, that would erode his national security edge over Romney.
The president was up 10 points over his rival when voters were asked before the crisis whom they trust more to steer foreign policy, in a CBS/New York Times poll.
Obama's campaign team would welcome an election fought over the more friendly terrain of national security, rather than the tepid economy.
But with Americans, including diplomats and Marines sent to protect them, vulnerable in the Arab world, Obama cannot yet afford to breathe easy.
"If this mushrooms and goes on, and we're seeing people attacking US interests, then yes, it would raise foreign policy on the agenda of the election," said Michele Dunne, director of the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East at the Atlantic Council.
But Dunne added that even if unrest in North Africa and elsewhere went on, it was unlikely to trump the economy as the dominant issue of the election.
In recent days, Obama has repeatedly been called upon to handle the threats to US targets in Yemen, Sudan, Egypt, Libya and elsewhere, with one eye on his political prospects.
On Friday, he officiated in the return of the American dead from Libya, then nipped out of the White House for meetings with his campaign team and a big-money fundraiser in Washington.
Obama also managed to make trips last week to swing states Nevada and Colorado, with visits to Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and Virginia on deck.
Eight weeks before the election and three weeks before the first of three presidential debates with Romney, Obama appears well placed.
In Gallup's daily tracking poll Saturday, Obama was up 49 percent to 45 percent on Romney, and in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls, he was up three percent on the Republican.
In Wall Street Journal/NBC/Marist College polls, Obama led Romney 49 percent to 44 percent in Florida, 50 percent to 43 percent in Ohio and 49 to 44 percent in Virginia.
Should Obama duplicate that performance in November, he would easily capture the required 270 electoral votes.
In fact, the president was leading in nine out of 10 opinion surveys showcased Sunday by RealClearPolitics.com. Only a Rasmussen tracking poll gave Romney a slight two-point advantage.
Obama also erased the edge on the economy -- the top election issue that Romney formerly enjoyed -- despite disappointing jobs data last week and an unemployment rate of 8.1 percent.
In the New York Times poll, 47 percent of voters thought Obama would be better at handling the economy and jobs, while 46 percent picked Romney.
Most analysts expect the race to close somewhat as the glow from the Democratic convention fades. And a disastrous jobs report in early October could put Obama under renewed pressure.
Obama aides believe it will be another week before a true picture of the race settles -- but are encouraged by battleground state data.
Republicans are, publicly at least, not panicking. Romney pollster Neil Newhouse last week dismissed Obama's spurt as a "sugar high."
Republican National Committee communications director Sean Spicer meanwhile predicted in a memo on Friday that Romney's position would improve as more voters see a "clear and critical difference" in the rivals' economic plans.
But Romney has struggled to assert himself since he owned the spotlight at his Florida convention in August.
His hair-trigger criticism of Obama as sympathizing with protestors who invaded the US embassy in Cairo prompted Obama to label him a "shoot first, aim later" candidate, and undermined foreign policy credentials tarnished by an error-strewn trip abroad.
Critics have questioned Romney's decision to appear on a soft-focus daytime chat show Friday, addressing trivial issues like what he wears to bed each night instead of focusing on the Middle East.
"I'm kind of a Snooki fan," Romney said, referring to Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, star of MTV reality show "Jersey Shore."
Romney's segment, set to air Tuesday, was part of his effort to show a more personable side to female voters, who polls show strongly favor Obama.
Romney's tone jarred with the somber mood of a day on which the bodies of the four dead Americans returned home in a heart-rending ceremony.
US President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden arrive for a ceremony to honor the 2012 US Olympic and Paralympic teams on the South Lawn of the White House, September 14.

text: As I watched couples line up to tour our Maternity Department this weekend at the "Art of Having a Baby" Maternity Fair, it struck me that today's prospective parents are much more involved in choosing what kind of experience they want during the birth of their child. There is no manual that comes with all the answers and many couples only learn from their mistakes after their first child. That's why Hudson Valley Hospital Center is so committed to giving expecting couples all the information they need to make the right decisions early on. The Hospital wants to empower women to have the type of births that they choose. This blog post on the Top 10 Reasons to Give Birth at Hudson Valley Hospital Center written by Randy Patterson of the Northeast Doulas really sums it up.

What an ugly game last night. One thing became abundantly clear almost from the start. The right side of the offensive line is going to be an issue all year. Flozell Adams is going to have trouble with speed rushers, and apparently false starts. Trai Essex got manhandled on several occasions. So come 2011 that will definitely be an area that needs to be addressed. Willie Colon may be back, or may not if we can't workout a contract extension, but we will need some depth at Tackle and a long term starter at Right Guard.
1. Buffalo Bills – Jake Locker QB, Washington
2010 1st round Draft Pick: C.J. Spiller RB, Clemson
C.J. Spiller is an exceptional prospect but the Bills did almost nothing to address their two most glaring needs in the 2010 draft. None of Buffalo's current stable of QB's, which include Trent Edwards, Brian Brohm, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, could be considered quality, starting caliber NFL Quarterbacks. The Bills used two late round picks on OT's, but with the 9th pick in 2010 that should have been priority number one. Ryan Mallett is a tall pocket passer with a rifle for an arm who is perfect to combat the elements that frequent Orchard Park but Locker is a lot more mobile and a better fit for Chan Gailey's offense. As of right now if the Bills end up with the first overall pick cheapskate owner Ralph Wilson will have no choice but to finally bite the bullet and spend some money on a top QB pick as there is currently no Jake Long/Joe Thomas type OT at the top of the 2011 draft.
2. St. Louis Rams – A.J. Green WR, UGA
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Sam Bradford QB, Oklahoma
Now that the Rams have their QB for the foreseeable future in 2010 first overall pick Sam Bradford they really need to add weapons for him to succeed as well as adding pieces that take pressure off of workhorse back Steven Jackson. Green is an elite prospect whose game projects very favorably to Randy Moss. He's tall and lanky, although he does have room to bulk up without losing his speed, with soft hands and none of the baggage that Moss carried with him for most of his career. If not Green then the only other options I can see the Rams going with are UNC DE Robert Quinn or Alabama DT/DE Marcell Dareus. They need a stable pass-rushing presence to play opposite of Chris Long as well as a replacement for disappointing former first round pick Adam Carriker. While both players are legitimate options Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo's past success in New York with generating a great pass-rush with lesser talent will probably influence him to forego using such a high pick on the defensive line.
3. Kansas City Chiefs – Patrick Peterson CB, LSU
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Eric Berry S, Tennessee
The Chiefs took Javier Arenas in the 3rd round of the 2010 draft but at 5'9" he's never going to be able to be anything more than a solid nickel cornerback. Peterson is being hailed as the next Darrell Revis. The term "Shutdown" corner is used a lot, but with regards to Peterson it may be true. He has a great size/speed combo, and is equally superior against the pass (in man and zone) as well as against the run. If Matt Cassell has another bad year GM Scott Pioli may finally admit that he was a bad signing and this pick could turn into Andrew Luck if he declares for the 2011 draft. Given the rocky relationship between Coach Todd Haley and WR Dwayne Bowe it's not impossible for the Chiefs to give a long look at Alabama's Julio Jones, Notre Dame's Michael Floyd, and Pitt's Jon Baldwin.
4. Seattle Seahawks – Robert Quinn DE, UNC
2010 1st round Draft Picks: Russell Okung OT, Oklahoma State/ Earl Thomas FS, Texas
Seattle had one of the best drafts in 2010, although that's not hard to do with two 1st rounds picks, securing a cornerstone LT and a shutdown FS. Unfortunately they still need a lot of building blocks to be able to crawl out of the perpetual state of rebuilding. Matt Hasselbeck is nearing the end of the line, and the recently acquired Charlie Whitehurst is nothing more than a career clip board holder. There's a reason he could never beat out Billy Volek for the #2 QB job behind Phillip Rivers in San Diego. If Hasselbeck gets injured this upcoming season, which is likely given his history, then Whitehurst will be exposed as the weak link he is and this pick will definitely be for the best available QB. Jake Locker would be ideal but as he is already gone the next available QB who fits Coach Carroll's scheme is Andrew Luck. Aside from the aforementioned problems at QB the Seahawks also have a serious lack of a pass-rush. Enter Robert Quinn, whom some people are calling a more athletic version of Julius Peppers. While I don't know if he'll be quite that good I will acknowledge that Quinn is the best pass-rushing D-lineman in the 2011 draft. And lucky for the Seahawks the 2011 draft is also loaded with top tier WR talent which is something they could also use. Coach Carroll signed Mike and Reggie Williams this offseason because he values size at the position, but neither of them is going to pan out. Current #1 T.J. Houshmandzadeh is already 31 years old entering the 2010 season. With A.J. Green already off of the board it'll really come down to which ever player Carroll values more, either 6'3" Michael Floyd, 6'4" Julio Jones, or 6'5 Jonathan Baldwin. But given the wealth of WR's in the 2011 draft they could easily wait until the second round and take LSU's Terrance Toliver, OSU's DeVier Posey, or Boise State's Austin Pettis.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Andrew Luck QB, Stanford
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Tyson Alualu DT, Cal
After having a phenomenal draft in 2009 I'm not sure what Gene Smith was smoking in 2010, reaching for two DT's in the 1st two rounds with so many other more pressing needs. I like Alualu but they could've taken him where they drafted in the 2nd round. In 2011 the Jags will have a few pressing needs. The first is for a FS because former 1st round pick Reggie Nelson is awful. The second is for a #1 receiver. They signed Kassim Osgood and Mike Sims-Walker is pretty good, but both of them and Troy Williamson will all be free agents in 2011. Even still, after a great 1st year David Garrard has been a disappointment since signing his fat contract extension. If the Jags are drafting in the top 10 again it will most likely mean the end of the Jack Del Rio era in Jacksonville. New regimes usually mean new QB's, especially when the current starting one is struggling so much. Luck would be the top choice but given that he's a Redshirt Sophomore he may not declare for the 2011 draft in which case Arkansas' Ryan Mallett would go here. Mallett is a tall (6'7") classic pocket-passer whose arm strength rivals that of Matt Stafford and Jay Cutler.
6. Arizona Cardinals – Prince Amukamara CB, Nebraska
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Dan Williams NT, Tennessee
The Cards suffered a lot of losses to free agency and retirement. Most notably is the retirement of Kurt Warner. With him they are a playoff caliber team, but without him they will struggle all season long with former first round disappointment Matt Leinart. They also signed Derek Anderson from Cleveland but so far in the preseason he's been nothing but a disappointment as well. In the 2010 draft they did get Fordham QB John Skelton who many believe will develop into a quality starter but it will take a couple years of NFL experience before he's ready. Amukamara's talent level is a shade below Patrick Peterson's but he would create a lockdown duo when teamed with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Another concern is the LT spot where Jeremy Bridges will get his chance to replace Mike Gandy but I have my doubts as to whether he'll be able to adequately fill in.
7. Cleveland Browns – Michael Floyd WR, Notre Dame
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Joe Haden CB, Florida
While personally I think the Brownies would be better off drafting Ryan Mallett here, as the heir to the QB throne Colt McCoy has been anything but impressive so far in the preseason, Cleveland definitely needs a true number one receiver. Mohamed Massaquoi is a solid player but not a number one and Brian Robiskie has been underwhelming so far. Floyd would be a great weapon who could help cover the shortcomings of McCoy, Jake Delhomme, or whoever they put at QB. They could also use a pass-rushing OLB. The Browns traded for Chris Gocong but they don't really have anything on the other side.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Greg Romeus DE, Pittsburgh
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Gerald McCoy DT, Oklahoma
Tampa Bay certainly upgraded the interior of their defensive line with 2010 picks Gerald McCoy and Brian Price but they added nothing to the DE spot. Coming into the 2011 draft this is going to be a huge need for them. Fortunately there is a plethora of quality 4-3 DE's in this draft to choose from. Romeus has gotten better every year so far at Pitt and with another solid season could easily solidify his status as a top 10 pick. The Bucs could also use a replacement of the ageless wonder Rhonde Barber and if Prince Amukamara or especially Patrick Peterson were available then this pick could easily change.
9. Detroit Lions – Aaron Williams CB, Texas
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Ndamukong Suh DT, Nebraska/ Jahvid Best RB, Cal
While I think the Lions will make leaps and bounds more progress than in previous years they are still a year or two away from being truly competitive. Personally I still feel that the Lions should've taken Russell Okung, but I can't really argue against a prospect like Ndamukong Suh. Detroit managed to pick a lot of solid players in the 2010 draft, filling a bunch of various needs, but it's going to be another long season for Matt Stafford. They drafted Jason Fox in the 4th round, but you really can't count on a late round pick to have much of an impact. I'm hoping the front office will finally lose faith with current LT Jeff Backus but until then this pick comes down to CB or a SS to pair with Louis Delmas. There are several players on the board at this point who may represent a greater talent but they don't match up with the needs of the Lions. But that's not a knock on Williams who in any other draft year would be the top CB on the board.
10. New England Patriots (via Oakland Raiders) – Mark Ingram RB, Alabama
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Devin McCourty CB, Rutgers
The Patriots have been lacking a long-term answer for their RB woes for a long time. At this point Ingram is clearly the best RB of the 2011 draft and is a perfect fit for Coach Belichick's scheme as he can play every down, including catching passes on third down. WR may also be a big need for them as Randy Moss will be a 33 year old free agent in 2011 and Wes Welker is coming back from a serious knee injury this year. They drafted Taylor Price in 2010 but he will probably be a solid slot receiver at best. If they do go for a WR the Patriots will have a choice to make between Julio Jones and Jon Baldwin. Jones is a big time play maker who is similar to T.O., including a penchant for the occasional drop. The other option would be a 3-4 DE but with the signing of Damione Lewis and drafting of Kade Weston and Brandon Deaderick I think their need for a RB or WR will overcome their need on the defensive front. If Belichick were that concerned about the defensive front he would've taken Jared Odrick when he was available in the 1st round of the 2010 draft.
11. Carolina Panthers – Adrian Clayborn DE, Iowa
2010 1st Pick: Jimmy Clausen QB, Notre Dame
Without Julius Peppers the Panthers are going to have serious problems generating a pass-rush. Hopefully 2009 second round pick Everette Brown will fill that hole but if not Clayborn certainly will. Anyone who watched the 2010 Orange Bowl knows what a disruptive force he can be. They also need help along the interior of the defensive line as well so Marcell Dareus is an option too. Basically whoever has the better year may be the odds on favorite.
12. Chicago Bears – Joseph Barksdale OT, LSU
2010 1st Pick: Major Wright FS, Florida
The Bears have several holes to fill but the greatest has to be at the RT spot. Maybe QB Jay Cutler wouldn't throw so many interceptions if he had more time to find a target. As of now I like Barksdale as the top OT in the 2011 draft. He's big (6'5", 315lbs.) but extremely athletic and the Bears would be lucky to get him this far back. There's also a chance that they could take one of the available top tier WR's, in this case it would be Julio Jones, but they seem to be happy with the solid group of number two's they have now. On the defensive side they could certainly use some help in the secondary but the top 3 CB's are already off the board and as of right now there isn't a Safety worth a top 15 pick. That could change though with some great prospects in UNC's Duenta Williams, UCLA's Rahim Moore, and Clemson's DeAndre McDaniel.
13. Denver Broncos – Marcell Dareus DE/DT, Alabama
2010 1st round Draft Picks: Demaryius Thomas WR, Georgia Tech/Tim Tebow QB, Florida
What can you say about the Broncos? How about "Josh McDaniels is crazy!" In consecutive years he's traded the team's top players, QB Jay Cutler and WR Brandon Marshall, and in return has ended up with Demaryius Thomas and Tim Tebow. Thomas may eventually become a solid NFL WR, he certainly has the size and speed, but playing in Georgia Tech's Triple-option offense he never learned how to run routes. It's going to take him a couple years before he makes an impact. The Tebow pick was a HUGE reach. Even if McDaniels wanted him he didn't need to trade into the 1st round to get him. Anyhow, given McDaniels interesting drafting style this could be a hard pick to predict. On the defensive front the team has a lot of old rentals and they will be even older come 2011. This pick could easily be Ole' Miss. NT Jerrell Powe as well, as the oldest player on the front is 34 year old Jamaal Williams. Marcell Dareus is the top 3-4 DE as well as the top 4-3 DT so he could easily go to any number of teams before the Bronco's pick.
14. Washington Redskins – Julio Jones WR, Alabama
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Trent Williams OT, Oklahoma
The Redskins addressed their absolute most dire need in the 2010 draft by taking OT Trent Williams. Now Donovan McNabb won't have to run for his life like Jason Campbell did. Unfortunately McNabb doesn't have a lot of options to throw to. Santana Moss is getting old, Malcolm Kelly looks to be a bust, and Devin Thomas is starting to show some promise but is still probably a number two WR at best. Julio Jones does have a propensity of the occasional drop be he's still an elite talent with great size and speed. Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, and Willie Parker have no tread left on the tires so if Mark Ingram is available Coach Shanahan may pull the trigger, although given his running game success in Denver he may feel as though he could throw anyone in the backfield and produce a 1,000 yard rusher.
15. Tennessee Titans – Travis Lewis OLB, Oklahoma
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Derrick Morgan DE, Georgia Tech
The Titans may have a bigger need for a CB to play opposite Courtland Finnegan, in which case a solid prospect like UVA's Ras-I Dowling may come into play, or massive space-eating Albert Haynesworth-like DT like Jerrell Powe but they can't just pass up a talent like Travis Lewis. He's a supremely gifted athlete, even better than former fellow Sooners and current Falcons Linebacker Curtis Lofton, and would fill the leadership/talent void created by the departure of Keith Bullock.
16. Philadelphia Eagles – Ras-I Dowling CB, Virginia
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Brandon Graham DE, Michigan
With the exception of Trevard Lindley in the later rounds I thought the Eagles had a great 2010 draft. They filled a lot of needs and got plenty of quality players. However one of their bigger holes was a CB, especially after trading Sheldon Brown to Cleveland, and they failed to invest an early pick at the position. If Ras-I Dowling would have declared for the 2010 draft he would have been the second or third highest rated cornerback. I put Philly this low because in his first year as a starter I expect Kevin Kolb to struggle a little. Given current LT Jason Peters' struggles and serious work-ethic issues it wouldn't surprise me to see the Eagles draft an OT like Arkansas' DeMarcus Love who would fit the mold of a bigger (6'5", 315lbs.) lineman that Coach Reid prefers.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers – DeAndre McDaniel S, Clemson
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Maurkice Pouncey OG/OC, Florida
As much as I'd like to give the Steelers the 32nd pick in the 2011 draft, which means they would've won the Super Bowl, with an aging defense, the O-line woes, and the Ben Roethlisberger suspension I just couldn't put them any higher than this. Big Ben's suspension will probably be reduced to 4 games and hopefully they can make it through that stretch with Byron Leftwich or Dennis Dixon with an even 2-2 record at least. Age and injury are the two things I think the Steelers may not be able to overcome as the team will have several veteran starters that are quite long in the tooth. From an injury stand point fans will always need to worry about having capable back-ups for Aaron Smith and Troy Polamalu. As of right now, heading into the 2011 draft the top needs will be RG, CB, and FS. In all likelihood 2010 first round pick Maurkice Pouncey will win the OC job and leave Trai Essex or Ramon Foster at RG. Both are serviceable and versatile but better off as reserves. The top OG's in the 2011 draft are currently FSU's Rodney Hudson and Florida's Mike Pouncey. I have to admit it would be pretty sweet to draft Mike and have both Pouncey twins on the starting O-line. The added bonus would be that come contract time in the future both would most likely take a discount to continue playing together. Even after trading for the return of Bryant McFadden I'm still worried about the CB group. He's a solid number two but in 2011 Ike Taylor will be a 31 year old free agent. So far the youngsters haven't really shown that they are capable enough to jump into a starting role. Unfortunately at this point the value isn't there for the team to take any of the available CB's such as Texas' Curtis Brown or Miami's Brandon Harris. Fortunately though there is plenty of talent at both safety positions. The Steelers resigned Ryan Clark to a short, front-loaded contract so if the Steelers value someone enough in the 2011 draft they can release him without taking a big cap hit. In any event every Steelers fan knows how badly the team missed Troy Polamalu when he was injured and having a capable back-up for him is worth a first round pick. Someone like Clemson's DeAndre McDaniel who is versatile enough to play both Safety positions would be an ideal target. If they prefer a pure FS prospect that is more in the quicker, ball-hawking mold then UCLA's Rahim Moore would be more than suitable as he had 10 interceptions in 2009 alone. Other notable considerations would be NT Jerrell Powe to replace Casey Hampton or a DE prospect like OSU's Cameron Heyward. Ziggy Hood will eventually supplant Aaron Smith but the team will still need someone to replace Brett Keisel in a couple of years and currently the team only has late round picks Sunny Harris and Doug Worthington.
18. New York Giants – Jurrell Casey DT, USC
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Jason Pierre-Paul OLB, USF
The G-men seem to collect D-linemen like a nerd collects comics so why not draft Superman's father? All kidding aside, Casey is a great pass-rushing talent and would be an immediate upgrade over Chris Canty and any of the other DT's the Giants currently have on their roster. On paper it seems like the Giants have a pretty well-stocked roster so picking a player for them is a little difficult. They could probably use an upgrade at RB where Brandon Jacobs is wearing down. They do have needs at Linebacker but with Travis Lewis already off of the board it would be a bit of a reach to take UNC's Quan Sturdivant or MSU's Greg Jones.
19. San Francisco 49ers – Ryan Mallett QB, Arkansas
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Anthony Davis OT, Rutgers/Mike Iupati OG, Idaho
Current QB Alex Smith is in the final year of his contract and needs to be replaced. The 49ers are lucky to have Mallett fall this far. If Andrew Luck does not declare for the 2011 draft then Mallett will most likely not make it this far. Current #1 CB Nate Clements is not nearly worth the huge contract he has as he is on a serious downswing so if available look for them to take one of the top tier CB's. San Fran also has needs for rush linebackers so a serious option for them to consider is Texas A&M OLB Von Miller.
20. Cincinnati Bengals – Gabe Carimi OT, Wisconsin
2010 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jermaine Gresham TE, Oklahoma
Andre Smith is a fat load who's been nothing but a disappointment since the scouting combine before the Bengals made him the 6th overall pick in the 2009 draft. If he can't shed some weight and live up to his first round billing this coming year it will be time to find his replacement. Gabe Carimi is a massive yet athletic OT who could easily be a top 10 pick if he has a solid 2010. Much like the Giants, when looking over Cincy's roster it's a little hard to find many real holes to fill. Aside from OT their biggest need is on the back end of their secondary but unless DeAndre McDaniel is available the Bengals will find better value taking some who can protect the ever-fragile Carson Palmer.
21. New England Patriots – Nate Potter OT, Boise State
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Devin McCourty CB, Rutgers
The Patriots have had a hole at DE since the Richard Seymour trade to Oakland and didn't address the need in the 2010 draft until the 7th round. With Cameron Heyward still on the board he'll be pretty tempting but they may also have a need at OT. Current LT Might Light will be a 33 year old free agent. The Patriots may move Sebastian Vollmer to the left side but that would create a hole on the right side. Potter is very athletic and just the right fit for the type of O-lineman Coach Belichick prefers. Von Miller may also get some consideration but the general consensus is that Belichick doesn't use early round picks on pass-rushers because of the high boom/bust rate of DE's that convert to 3-4 OLB.
22. Houston Texans – Rahim Moore FS, UCLA
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Kareem Jackson CB, Alabama
If the Texans ever hope to take control of the AFC South they are going to need to stop Peyton Manning and his areal assault. That means spending another 1st round pick on a DB. Moore is a ballhawk that would replace the oft-injured Eugene Wilson. Another strong option would be WR Jonathan Baldwin. Kevin Walter is better suited for the slot and drafting a playmaker like Baldwin would be a huge upgrade over Jacoby Jones and really take the pressure off of perennial All-Pro Andre Johnson.
23. Atlanta Falcons - Jonathan Baldwin WR, Pittsburgh
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Sean Weatherspoon OLB, Missouri
Right now the Falcons biggest need is for a pass-rushing DE as Jamaal Anderson has been a complete bust and needs to be replaced, and John Abraham will be 32 years old. Unfortunately all of the top pass-rushers are gone at this point. Atlanta could also use a solid #2 WR as an upgrade over Michael Jenkins. So Houston's loss is Atlanta's gain as Baldwin is a force to be reckoned with at 6'5", 225lbs.
24. Miami Dolphins – Ryan Williams RB, Virginia Tech
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Jared Odrick DT/DE, PSU
In the 2011 offseason Ricky Williams will be a 33 year old free agent and Ronnie Brown will be a free agent with a history of injury issues. Ryan Williams will only be a redshirt sophomore so the Dolphins will be getting him without a lot of wear and tear. They could also use an upgrade over Randy Starks and Paul Soliai so Jerrell Powe will also be a very likely option. If Ryan Williams doesn't declare and Jerrell Powe isn't available there is also a great option at Safety to replace the marginal Yeremiah Bell in UNC's Duenta Williams.
25. Dallas Cowboys – Duenta Williams FS, UNC
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Dez Bryant WR, Oklahoma State
The Cowboys have a pretty stacked roster but do have a few slight concerns. The first being the OT position as they released Flozell "Hotel" Adams and are currently hoping that Doug Free can handle the duties. I have my concerns about that but they did get a late round gem in 2010 in Notre Dame's Sam Young. They also drafted Akwasi Owusu-Ansah in the late rounds as well to possibly play FS and replace Ken Hamlin but you really can't count on late round picks to start or make an immediate impact. So this pick will come down to Williams, Arkansas OT DeMarcus Love, or the best available prospect that Jerry Jones happens to fall in love with. They could also possibly use an upgrade over Anthony Spencer as well.
26. Baltimore Ravens – Mike Pouncey OC/OG, Florida
2010 1st Draft Pick: Sergio Kindle DE/OLB, Texas
Everyone knows the Ravens biggest weakness is in the secondary. They have a lot of short-term solutions for a long-term problem. Chris Carr, Fabian Washington, Domonique Foxworth, and Lardarius Webb are all currently suffering from either injuries, lack of talent, or both with Webb being the only quality one of the bunch in my opinion. However we also know the Ravens don't reach in the draft and without any other first round talents available at the position they will have to look elsewhere or trade back which is something they've also been know to do. Current starting OC Matt Birk will be 35 years old at the time of the 2011 draft and Pouncey has the versatility to also play OG which could come in handy as Marshall Yanda has had serious knee injuries. Plus how epic would it be for the Pouncey twins to be on opposite sides of the biggest rivalry in the NFL. This offseason Ed Reed gave some serious consideration to retirement as his mounting injury history is taking a toll on his body and as such 2010 may be his last season. Because of this I would expect the Ravens to target Duenta Williams or Rahim Moore if either of them is within reach.
27. Green Bay Packers – Von Miller OLB, Texas A&M
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
I'm a huge fan of Von Miller. I think he's a more athletic version of Elvis Dumervil. Unfortunately do to his undersized frame and the always unpredictability of hybrid prospects he's slipped to the end of the first round. The Packers defense is already one of the leagues best but with a talent like Miller's to play opposite 2009 rookie phenom Clay Matthews Jr. it'll be even better. They also need a replacement for the gracefully aging Charles Woodson but Miller is too valuable to pass up at this point.
28. San Diego Chargers – Jerrell "Boom Boom" Powe NT, Ole' Miss
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Ryan Matthews RB, Fresno State
First off, if the Chargers do not come to terms on a long-term deal with LT Marcus McNeill then that would be the highest priority come draft day. In that event I can see another draft day move upward like in the 2010 draft to target Joseph Barksdale or Gabe Carimi. They will also have to come to terms with losing Vincent Jackson as it is extremely unlikely they will workout a new contract. And if that weren't bad enough Malcolm Floyd will also be a free agent in 2011. The Chargers love big, tall WR's and there are plenty in this draft to be had and I'm sure that Jon Baldwin will be at the top of their list. Unfortunately he's not available so the third biggest need will have to come into play which is for a stout NT to replace the departed Jamaal Williams. They got a great 2010 late round steal in Cam Thomas but as I've already said before, you can't rely on late round picks to make an immediate impact, if they make an impact at all. The knock on Powe is that like his 2010 counterpart Terrence "Mount" Cody he has issues keeping his weight down. While it's true that he showed up to the Ole' Miss. Campus at around 370lbs. he's steadily improved on that and now hovers at about 340lbs. And unlike Cody, Powe doesn't take plays off and there is no questioning his work ethic.
29. Minnesota Vikings – Pat Devlin QB, Delaware
2010 1st Draft Pick: Chris Cook CB, Virginia
Will Brett Favre come back in 2011? He's recently stated that 2010 will definitely be his last year but how many times have we heard that from him already? In addition to Favre's retirement it will also probably be the last year for Pat Williams as well. He'll be a 38 year old free agent in 2011 and it's time for the Vikings to look for replacements for the Williams' wall as Kevin Williams will be 31 years old. Add to that Ray Edwards will also be a free agent and the Vikings stout D-line could look very different at the start of the 2011 season. Throw into the mix Sidney Rice's hip injury and 2011 free agent status as well as Percy Harvin's migraine issues and the Vikings, with a seemingly loaded roster, will potentially have a lot of holes/issues to address. This pick will depend on whether the Vikings plan to try and stay in the contention hunt in which case they will be looking for an NFL ready QB or admit that they will need to start a rebuilding mode in which case a D-lineman would make the most sense. Some like Chris Ponder over Pat Devlin but I think Devlin has a much higher upside. He has a very strong arm and many compare him to Joe Flacco. Given the probable needs for the D-line this pick could be UNC's Marvin Austin, Miami's Allen Bailey, or PSU's Jack Crawford.
30. New York Jets – Cameron Heyward DT/DE, OSU
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Even with the headache that is the Darrell Revis saga the Jets biggest need in 2011 will be on the D-line, particularly at DE. NT Kris Jenkins will be 32 years old and has injury issues. DE Shaun Ellis will be a 34 year old free agent. Heyward doesn't have the pass-rushing abilities of Adrian Clayborn or Marcell Dareus but he's much stouter against the run. Aside from the D-line woes they also have a need for pass-rushing OLB's. They signed 36 year old Jason Taylor who's in the twilight of his career and in 2011 the Jets will probably finally be fed up with first round bust Vernon Gholston. With Von Miller already off the board the next logical choice would be Jack Crawford.
31. Indianapolis Colts – Anthony Castonzo OT, Boston College
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Jerry Hughes OLB, TCU
Charles Johnson, Tony Ugoh, and Adam Terry will all be free agents in 2011. Add to that Jeff Saturday will be 36 years old and his body has already started to break down. The Colts are in desperate need of an offensive line overhaul. Castonzo is the type of athletic offensive tackle that could be a cornerstone for the rest of Manning's career. They could also target OG Rodney Hudson or PSU OC Stefen Wisniewski. Aside from the O-line they could also use an upgrade at DT. They have plenty of average talent but someone like OSU's Stephen Paea or Marvin Austin would be an upgrade.
32. New Orleans Saints – Bruce Carter OLB, UNC
2010 1st round Draft Pick: Patrick Robinson CB, Florida State
It's a pretty safe bet that the Saints will draft defense here as their offense is as potent as any in the league. Their biggest needs are at OLB and for a DE to play opposite of Will Smith. So with that I'm expecting either Bruce Carter or someone like Texas' Sam Acho. Acho compares favorably to Jerry Hughes who the Saints were very high on in the 2010 draft. The Saints have a much bigger hole at weakside linebacker and Carter would certainly fill that.
Round 2:
33. Buffalo Bills – DeMarcus Love OT, Arkansas
They need some OT insurance so that Jake Locker doesn't become the next David Carr.
34. St. Louis Rams –Kyle Rudolph TE, Notre Dame
The Rams have no talent at TE. Rudolph is currently the top rated TE prospect for 2011 and would be another great weapon for the young Sam Bradford.
35. Kansas City Chiefs –Jack Crawford DE/OLB, PSU
Outside of Tamba Hali they don't have any pass-rushers.
36. Seattle Seahawks –Allen Bailey DT/DE, Miami
Seattle continues the overhaul of the D-line. Bailey is a freak who can play inside or outside but may need to bulk up a little to play DT.
37. Jacksonville Jaguars –DeVier Posey WR, OSU
A new QB needs weapons around him to succeed.
38. Arizona Cardinals –Dont'a Hightower ILB, Alabama
They need a replacement for Karlos Dansby who left via free agency.
39. Cleveland Browns –Jared Crick DT/DE, Nebraska
This is a value pick. Cleveland needs some youth on the D-line with Shaun Rogers, Robaire Smith, and Kenyan Coleman all 33, 32, and 31 years old respectively entering the 2010 season.
40. Tampa Bay Buccaneers –Shane Vereen RB, Cal
Derrick Ward was a bad signing and "Cadillac" Williams can't stay healthy.
41. Detroit Lions –Greg Jones ILB, MSU
The Lions get a local boy who would be a great fit/addition to a rebuilt defense.
42. Oakland Raiders –Sam Acho DE, Texas
Richard Seymour will be a 31 year old free agent in 2011. Even if they choose to franchise him again they could still use someone on the other side.
43. New England Patriots (via Carolina Panthers) –Akeem Ayers DE/OLB, UCLA
They need a good young pass-rusher to pair with 2010 rookie Jermaine Cunningham.
44. Chicago Bears –Marvin Austin DT, UNC
Tommy Harris is a great DT, the trouble is that he's never healthy. Marvin Austin is an athletic freak, one of many from UNC in this draft.
45. Denver Broncos –Adrian Robinson DE/OLB, Temple
Robert Ayers doesn't look like he's going to make the transition to OLB from playing DE in college.
46. Washington Redskins –Quan Sturdivant ILB, UNC
London Fletcher can't play forever. Entering the 2011 season he'll be 36 years old and in the final year of his contract.
47. Tennessee Titans –Curtis Brown CB, Texas
Curtis Brown is talented playmaker who falls due to the quality depth at his position. The Titans need a solid player opposite of Courtland Finnegan.
48. Philadelphia Eagles –Kris O'Dowd OC, USC
Nick Cole will be a free agent in 2011.
49. Pittsburgh Steelers –Clint Boling OT, UGA
Boling is a personal favorite of mine. He's athletic, technically sound, plays with a nasty streak, and is extremely versatile having played both right and left guard as well as LT. His versatility is something Coach Tomlin will love and would be an ideal fit for the RG spot which has been the weak link in the O-line for some time. If the Steelers choose not to resign Willie Colon in 2011 they can move Boling there without skipping a beat.
50. New York Giants –Evan Royster RB, PSU
Brandon Jacobs appears to be on his last leg and Ahmad Bradshaw will be a free agent in 2011.
51. San Francisco 49ers –Will Hill FS, Florida
Will Hill would be the perfect ball-hawking compliment to 2010 second round pick Taylor Mays.
52. Cincinnati Bengals –Rodney Hudson OG, FSU
Bobbie Williams will be 34 years old in 2011.
53. New England Patriots –Derek Wolfe DT/DE, Cincinnati
He's a very athletic prospect to replace Damione Lewis who'll be a 33 year old free agent.
54. Houston Texans –Austin Pettis WR, Boise State
Pettis would be a great compliment to Andre Johnson.
55. Atlanta Falcons – Brandon Harris CB, Miami
He's the best player available and a solid prospect to pair with high-priced, free agent acquisition Dunta Robinson.
56. Denver Broncos (via Miami Dolphins) –Derek Sherrod OT, Miss. State
Both Tyler Polumbus and Ryan Harris will be free agents in 2011.
57. Dallas Cowboys –John Moffitt OG, Wisconsin
Both Kyle Kosier and Leonard Davis will be 32 years old in 2011, with Kosier being a free agent.
58. Baltimore Ravens –Blake Gideon FS, Texas
A replacement for Ed Reed who will probably retire at the end of the 2010 season.
59. Green Bay Packers –Rashad Carmichael CB, VT
He's an eventual replacement for Charles Woodson.
60. San Diego Chargers –Terrance Toliver WR, LSU
Both Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd will be free agents in 2011 and Toliver fits the mold of a taller WR that the Chargers prefer.
61. Minnesota Vikings –Da'Quan Bowers DE, Clemson
Bowers is an athletic freak that's never quite lived up to the recruiting hype but will replace Ray Edwards whose contract demands will probably be too much for Minnesota.
62. New York Jets –Chris Culliver FS, South Carolina
Brodney Pool is injury-prone and a FA in 2011.
63. Indianapolis Colts –Stephen Paea DT, Oregon State
He's a quick, powerful, but undersized DT prospect that is a perfect fit for Indy's defensive scheme.
64. New Orleans Saints –Jeremy Beal DE, Oklahoma
He's just the sort of explosive, pass-rushing DE the Saints are looking for.

Wreckateer uses Kinect to catapult into XBLA this spring
As Boom Blox or Mechagodzilla before it proved, technology often doesn't come into its own until it's used for destruction. Chicago-based Iron Galaxy is putting that to the test with Wreckateer, an XBLA release that uses Kinect to put you behind the lever of your very own castle-crushing ballista.
As Wreck and Tinker do battle with goblins inhabiting over 60 different castles, they'll be able to tweak their shots with special powers that up the destructive force of shots or allow them to target specific weak points. Think Angry Birds meets Boom Blox. In fact, according to Joystiq, that's exactly how Iron Galaxy's Dave Lang pitched the game to Microsoft.
You won't have to wake long to see how his experiment in cross-breeding fared; Wreckateer is slated to launch this spring.

As much as we love the realness of K. Michelle we have to question what was she thinking when she put on these pants and decided to EXPOSE her goodies or should I call them goodies?
K. Michelle steps out in a black one piece suit and from a far she almost looks perfect, but once you zoom in to get a look at some of those "goodies" it just may throw you off. WAIT is that real? Is she a man or are her clothes just that tight? I'm not exactly sure what to believe but this definitely is a fashion MISHAP. We just hope afterwards she was able to take them off while still being able to breathe and didnt lose anything from it.
You know you're our girl but we HAVE TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME!

WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- Federal regulators are poised to propose new rules requiring event data recorders -- also called "black boxes" -- in all new cars and light trucks despite privacy concerns.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to publish the rules in the next few days. Automakers have been quietly tucking the devices -- which automatically record the actions of drivers and the responses of their vehicles in a continuous information loop -- into most new cars for years.
The idea is to gather information that can help investigators determine the cause of accidents and lead to safer vehicle designs. But privacy advocates say government regulators and auto manufacturers are fostering the spread of an intrusive technology without first putting in place policies to prevent misuse of the information collected.
