We cannot educate white women and take them by the hand. Most of us are willing to help but we can't do the white woman's homework for her. That's an energy drain. More times than she cares to remember, Nellie Wong, Asian American feminist writer, has been called by white women wanting a list of Asian American women who can give readings or workshops. We are in danger of being reduced to purveyors of resource lists.

Feminism needs to be authentically intersectional, or nothing at all. This speaks volumes

In this edition of the Top Five Watering Holes Series, gal-about-town Jennifer Ying Lan not only lists her favorite spots to get a drink, but also writes her own introduction. Here it is…
"Jennifer Ying Lan, a native Texan, just can't get enough of Beijing in the summertime. After graduating from Harrrrvard, she followed the flock and found herself on Wall Street at an illustrious 100+ year old investment bank that couldn't stop buying sub-prime mortgages.
"After a couple years of 80+ hour work weeks, she landed in Beijing, where she blogged for the Beijinger, wrote for Agenda magazine, and sent out the notorious '7 Days in Beijing' newsletter before returning to graduate school (like a good little Chinese-American girl). Currently completing a dual-degree JD/MBA student at Duke University, she is a summer associate at a swanky international law firm in Beijing and is back for the nineteenth time. Find her at these places.
"5. Aperitivo: Open-air wine bar located right behind the Sanlitun strip. With plenty of outdoor seating and a great location, never sit inside or you'll miss all the action. Watch the line of people at the crazy-busy jianbing cart and the idiotic drivers in way-too-nice cars as they try to make their way down a jam-packed street filled with people, kids selling roses, and knick-knacks of every kind. By far one of the best people-watching places in town…
"4. Fubar: If you're one of the very few expats in town who hasn't been yet, all I'm going to say is: secret door, hot dogs, and 1 RMB mojito nights. (Plus, one of the co-owners is the leading international construction lawyer in the world and as a future lawyer who wants to/will own a restaurant/bar in the future… that's awesome).
"3. The Saddle Cantina: Come here for the 'Mexican' food, a rainbow of margaritas, and rooftop seating. If you're lucky, some poor soul will sit in the saddle and be force-fed tequila like a foie-gras duck. PS: I adore Luga (the little man) so his place and this one are a bit interchangeable for me.
"2. No Name Bar: The first bar back then at Houhai and it's still holding strong. Sit by the window at night, light a candle, look out over the lake, feel the breeze, and watch the people stroll by. Unless your fellow patrons are from Jersey, you should be able to have a pretty peaceful and perhaps romantic evening.
"1. Maison Boulud: Hands down, the classiest place in town. Located inside the former American embassy at the Legation Quarter, you feel the history as soon as you walk in the door. Rumor has it, this is where Henry Kissinger met with Zhou Enlai on his secret trip to the Middle Kingdom before Richard Nixon came and the West saw China. Ask to see the "Red Room" where the meeting took place. The decor is old school European meets a modern interior designer. Have the gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated Ignace [Lecleir] make you a cocktail before he leaves, sit back and enjoy the live jazz or house music, and just feel good. (Although to be honest, I don't see myself ever going again after Ignace leaves.)

I love ceasar salad! Romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, ceasar dressing, sometimes bacon and croutons!
its my favorite, but only one kind of ceasar dressing.
user banned 2 kids; Silly, Belgium 6539 posts16th Jan '13
Romaine lettuce, cucumber, green pepper, green onions, white onion, tomatoes and cilantro. All chopped very small. Then seasoned with plain salt and pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
I occasionally chop up pickled rutabega and put it in the salad too instead of the lemon juice.

Lately (meaning everyday for the past 3 weeks) I've been eating romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, and avocado tossed in oregano, vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon, salt and olive oil. If you like sour or looking for something different, its wonderful =)

Thomasville -- Investigators are following leads in a string of car break-ins in Thomas County. The thieves targeted neighborhoods in the Summer Hill Road area.
Tuesday morning they broke into six cars, and stole purses, and a laptop computer and other items. Some cars were unlocked, with others, thieves broke windows to get inside.
"Locked, unlocked. We find that it doesn't make a lot of difference but the important thing is in either event, don't leave valuable things in your vehicles," said Investigator Bob Brettel of the Thomas County Sheriff's Office.
Another tip: Investigators say leaving outside lights on throughout the night might be enough to discourage criminals from trying anything.

Tucked behind the bustle of Montreal's rue Notre-Dame, ...
Arsenal Montreal, a converted shipyard turned art venue that opened in May 2011, has recently expanded by some 40,000 square feet to comprise a total of approximately 80,000 square feet. The additional space was recently vacated by a plasma torch manufacturer, and Arsenal is now occupying it as part of a long-term lease.
The expansion comes in tandem with the creation of a new 8,000-square-foot permanent exhibition hall on the lower level of the building. (A space for dealer Galerie Division will continue to exist on the upper floors of the building, as will a private-collection exhibition space for Arsenal leads Pierre and Anne-Marie Trahan, along with an artist's studio and multimedia room.)
The new permanent exhibition hall will debut to the public on January 31 with the opening of "Like Thunder Out of China," a group show of contemporary Chinese artists curated by Paris-based specialist Pia Camilla Copper and Montreal-based art consultant Margot Ross. Among the artists included are the Gao Brothers, Han Bing and Lu Fei Fei.
Arsenal representatives say that, outside of the new permanent exhibition hall, a large part of the additional square footage will continue to be used as a flexible space for events ranging from Sotheby's auction previews to Montreal Fashion Week shows.
The Arsenal enterprise also expanded into Toronto in spring 2012 with a 7,000-square-foot space on Ernest Avenue.
This article was corrected on January 24, 2013. The original article incorrectly indicated that Galerie René Blouin was still at Arsenal Montreal. This dealer recently moved out of the building.

Last week on MOO's Facebook page we wanted to know all about your Eureka moments and what gave many of MOO's customers the push to start their own business.
No two stories were the same and it really helped to highlight that the inspiration for a new business idea can come from anywhere.
As difficult as it is to choose, there has to be a winner, and we've settled on Zach Jex's inspiration for Pushlocal:
We were so impressed with the inspiring and remarkable stories that we also have to mention a few of the other Eureka moments that have caught our eye:
Thanks to everyone who left us their Eureka moment and if you'd like to share your story, feel free to leave a comment on the blog or our Facebook page.
Sorry, can't find anything like this.
My moment came when i was wondering how to raise money for children with AIDS when the needs are so many for each child. Project One Million was born when I was able to break down each need to what we could do for one dollar: 1 year of clean water, 2 days of food, 1 day of medicine, etc. All we need is one million people to give one dollar each, which most of us have at our disposal. Now, i just need to figure out the marketing portion of this.
I love the new cards i got last week. Everyone just loves the facebook cards. It gets right to the point
My Cards arrived and it was great as people could see straight away what our new innovation in the tea bag was all about and they can picture what a T-Stick is and how to use it.

Texas has been running over its opponents of late, and running back "Fozzy" Foswhitt Whittaker has been an integral part of that surge. Unfortunately for the Longhorns, Whittaker has sustained a leg injury early in Texas' Week 11 game against Missouri this Saturday.
The severity of the injury is unclear, but multiple sources on Twitter indicate that it was Whittaker's right knee that was hurt. CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli notes that Whittaker is being examined on the sidelines.
Whittaker had four carries for 15 yards against Missouri before going down. The senior had 151 yards over the last two weeks in Texas' blowout wins over Kansas and Texas Tech, and had compiled a career-high 371 yards in the 2011 season.

Port Officials and Legislators Want to Get Shipping Facilities Running After FloodBy Daniel Cherry | Published 26 May 2011 09:42am |
The flood on the Mississippi River has forced shutdowns and major cutbacks at six ports. MPB's Daniel Cherry has details on a meeting between shipping officials and state legislators aimed at getting the facilities back on line.
Most of the ports along the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers are still dealing with massive flooding at their facilities. Billy Broomfield is the House Ports Committee Chairman. He says planning ahead before the water drops is crucial to speeding up the reopening process.
"We've got to understand that this has affected a lot of lives. People cannot pay their bills. It's our hope that we can make sure once the water recedes, those people who depend on that for their livelihood can get back to the degree that they're accustomed to."
The ports employ thousands of workers directly and many thousand more indirectly. Every day the ports are shut down those people are taking a hit. Greenville port director Tommy Hart says he wants to get the port back up and running as soon as possible.
"The long and the short of it is, we're slowing down the recovery trying to make these determinations. We want the recovery to be as fast as possible because that supplies businesses in the region. It employs people, and the quicker we can get these things resolved the better off everyone will be."
Hart estimates it's going to be late June before they'll be able to reopen. Vicksburg port Director Wayne Mansfield says to become operational, the port is going to need some help from the state.
"I don't know if we can put a value on it until we can get in and inspect our facilities and inspect our infrastructure, but certainly it begins with funding. Rehabilitation, reconstruction of our infrastructure, our dock facilities, our rail facilities, our roads, our bridges. That's going to be the significant part."
The pricetag of the port closures is likely to be in the millions. The legislators say they're looking into grants and no interest loans to help the ports rebuild.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSBlankenship Hand-Delivers Letters On Upper Big Branch To Manchin's Office,Tomblin's Reception Room
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Apr. 11, 2014 11:44 AM EDT
Updated: Apr. 11, 2014 1:10 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Kennie Bass) – Former Massey Energy chief executive officer Don Blankenship is continuing his campaign to share what he calls the real source of the Upper Big Branch disaster that killed 29 men.
Blankenship spent a busy Friday morning in the capital city, hand-delivering correspondence and addressing a national audience about the documentary he produced, "Upper Big Branch: Never Again."
Blankenship delivered letters to the Charleston office of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin and to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's reception room at the state Capitol.
The letter asks five questions, among them if Manchin and Tomblin have asked for analyses of gas samples collected by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and what they have attempted or done to prevent another similar disaster.
Blankenship's documentary claims that scientific evidence reviewed by independent experts pins the cause of the explosion on a massive inundation of natural gas. Three separate investigations by MSHA, the United Mine Workers of America and an independent firm disagree, saying the explosion happened because of Massey's poor mining conditions and that a methane blast was fueled by coal dust.
Blankenship said he wants to make sure the officeholders consider all of the scientific findings "to make sure that the politicians or the legislators and the governor and the senators all know that natural gas was the cause of the explosion at UBB and that they've not done the things that might keep it from happening again."
In addition to delivering his letters, Blankenship was a guest on the Fox Business Channel show "Opening Bell" Friday morning, talking about the UBB documentary and his belief that natural gas was the cause of the disaster.
Manchin has said he was lied to by the production company to gain his participation in the film and has demanded that he be removed from the documentary. Several family members of the victims have also protested the film and its message.
Manchin's office released this statement: "We have received a constituent letter from Don Blankenship and we will handle it in the same manner we handle all constituent mail. The only thing that makes this request unusual is that there is an ongoing federal investigation related to his request. We will handle this issue in the appropriate manner."
Tomblin's staffers told Blankenship that policy forbids them from accepting hand-delivered letters and requested he send the note via the U.S. Postal Service.
Blankenship said he also plans to deliver the letter to the offices of U.S. Reps. Shelley Moore Capito and Nick Rahall.

Neutrik, professional audio accessories manufacturer, have introduced a sleek new design for 1/4" professional phone plugs.
The X-series, previously introduced as the C+ series, improves on the design of the existing phone plug by offering the thinnest available 1/4" plug with unique Neutrik chuck-type strain relief. The new plugs meet the most recent requirements for the highest packing density (15.88mm).
Internationally recognized industrial designer with Messrs Id Connect Andreas Batliner created the new design. The new NP*X series has an improved chuck-type strain relief, which offers higher cable retention force and the same reliability and features of Neutrik's current NP*C phone plug series. The slim NP*X phone plug is all metal and available in mono and stereo versions with nickel or gold-plated contacts and nickel, black, or velour chrome housings.


text: Since this team has no desire to win, I figure I will make something positive out of this. I'm trademarking "Cellar for Zeller", which is the NBA counterpart of the Indianapolis Colts' "Suck for Luck" last year. If we could get him, he could start alongside Roy, and maybe bring some fans in, and a winning attitude. Obviously I would rather see us in the playoffs, but this team has no energy or will to win, so I figure we might as well go big or go home.

Should I recommend my bestie a W8 tablet or an Ipad or even a Android tab
Sup ma geeky friends. My bestie needs a tablet computer. because her one broke............again. I think she broke some amount of tablets since last yr and this year. she's rich anyway. she's on her 7th tablet. But on not on purpose. One was for a test resist tablet. mostly overheating and hardware problems and she s kinda of sad at the moment and crying. I told her would you like an Ipad. She said she breaks them.but I tell her it's not true at all. She once thought they were cursed. (oh God I cracked up Laughing). And I told her about those Windows 8 tablets. She thought they were perfect. but she had a bad bad experience with OEM tablets. then I told her about the MS surface. She liked the look and the creativity of the tablet. but she thought about the gaming apps. She's a hardout gamer. She has a xbox and a live account. but she wants certain games. so i'm in a problem. get her an ipad? which has the games but she breaks them a lot. or get the MS surface? which she has a Xbox and a live account and she likes the creativity. but doesn't have some of the games she uses. Or should I just recommend an Android Tab.
Unfortunately she can't trust Apple anymore since she always got problems and fed up the breaking and overheating. So she's just gonna go the Surace then. sigh
By the way I'm a 15 yr old pretty girl. so do not disrespect me. No trolls please. So I want to keep it troll free. don't want stupid troll fanboys (sorry Boys. True fact No boys and girl arguments please) in this thread please. :-)

When we last saw these Oakland Athletics they were waiving triumphantly to their towel-waving faithful…after a 6-0 defeat at the right hand of Justin Verlander. The loss sent them home for the winter which followed a most improbable summer that saw the A's claim their fifteenth – and easily least-expected – division title.
The fans, caught up in the most exciting wave of baseball in these parts since The Streak a decade before, stood to salute the A's after the final out of the 2012 season, and it just goes to show that Oakland does a remarkable job of emulating its baseball team in that it never seems to run out of surprises.
I mean, what are the A's still doing here? Weren't they headed to Denver or New Orleans or Vegas a long time ago? Or Silicon Valley recently? They have been constantly rumored to be backing up the moving van, but then April rolls around and the key still works.
For 46 years and counting.
And why not? On the mirror test alone, Oakland pales in comparison to her glamorous counterpart to the west (especially now that big sister has shoved her pair of shiny trophies to the front of the fireplace mantel.) But beyond the modest payroll and much-maligned stadium they call home, the A's continue to make beautiful music here.
The Coliseum itself has showcased some of the more memorable moments in recent baseball history: two perfect games, record base-stealing courtesy of Rickey Henderson, the aforementioned 20-game win streak highlighted by three consecutive walk-off victories that took turns outdoing the previous day's events, and last season's pie-smashing mad-dash to the playoffs.
Whether over a stretch of nine-innings, a week, a month, or a full season, the A's figure out a way to do something out of the ordinary.
They will never be confused with New York or Los Angeles or Boston or San Francisco in terms of marketing power, but – since moving to Oakland in 1968 – they have managed to crash the October party sixteen times. Only the Yankees (21) and Braves (17) have more playoff appearances during that span.
And although it has been far too long since they won the whole enchilada, their four World Series victories since '68 is second only to the Yankees (it's always the Yankees).
The A's come into the 2013 season with something new: expectations. The luxury of sneaking up on the division is gone. The glass slipper fit. Damn it. It seems the A's enjoy playing the role of underdog, but we'll see.
One way or another, they will surprise us. Hopefully pleasantly so.
Here's to another season of the A's – our A's – in Oakland. Enjoy the ride, AN.

While working at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Maryland, Oprah and Gayle were both in their early 20s. While Gayle was still living with her parents outside of Baltimore, Oprah had relocated from Nashville and lived in an apartment close to the studio. Due to a snowstorm, Gayle was not able to make the drive home, and Oprah invited her to stay the night - the friendship developed from there, and has continued for more than 30 years.
Gayle's Role at Harpo:
Gayle often makes appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, though she also has her own responsibilities within Oprah's empire. Gayle holds the Editor at Large position for both O : The Oprah Magazine and O at Home -- and has since their inception. Gayle also hosts her own radio show on Oprah and Friends where she discusses everything current and newsworthy, as well as interviews celebrities and other public figures.
Fun Facts:
- Gayle's favorite color is yellow
- Oprah's middle name is Gail
- Oprah and Gayle wear the same shoe size -- 10!
- When Oprah and Gayle met, they wore the same clothing size and had the same contact lens prescription
- Oprah threw Gayle a 50th birthday party -- organized by Colin Cowie
- Gayle is afraid of heights
- Josh Groban is one of Gayle's favorite singers

I'm trying to install Norton Internet Security 2011 and it won't let me get past the Product Key. I entered the Product Key that was on the yellow sticker insert from the package and the "Agree and Install" button will not activate. There is still a red "X" on the right hand side of the box where you enter the code. I've tried typing it in and double checking it several times and I'm not missing any characters because it will not allow me to type anything else in. Very frustrated.

Where did you get the installation package from? A store retail package ?
<< yellow sticker insert from the package >> You aren't talking about the outside of the yellow box are you? On the retail copies I've seen the KEY is on a sticker on the envelope inside the box with the CD inside it.
I don't remember having to put the KEY in before Agree and Install; that comes up when starting to install and activate with the KEY does not happen until after you are installed because if you don't activate immediately it runs for a few days as a fully functional trial.
Was there any other security software installed on your PC before you started to install? What was it? If you removed it how did you remove it?
To get you the best advice, would you give us some more information about your system:
What version of Windows are you using including Service Packs and whether 32 bit or 64 bit as well as the Name and Version ID of the Norton product that you are using -- Help or Support / About is where that is, in the format of nn.nn.nn.nnn
If you get any error messages please give the exact wording of them as well as any other background that could be helpful.
Hi Hugh,
I purchased it from Office Depot. The product key is from the yellow sticker on the package insert. There is no option to run it as a trial. I had Avast Antivirus prior to this and uninstalled it by going through the Uninstall Programs menu on my computer.
As soon as I put the disk in, the welcome screen appears and I selected the Install option. It started installing and then a window popped up saying "Thank you for choosing Norton Internet Security 2011. Enter your product key". This is where I'm having problems.
I'm running on Windows Vista 32 bit. I'm not sure what version it is - all that is on my yellow sticker is the product key and codes for the Norton Online Backup 25GB. There is no "Help" or "Support/About" in the windows that I'm getting. I've attached screen shots of what I get when I insert the disk and then select the "Install" option.

Can't see your images yet but will recheck later but from what you say:
OK -- one cause of refusal to install is traces of another security program and those dig so deep that the normal uninstall does not always remove them -- most makers have a cleanup tool on their website and here's the link for AVAST:
Note that that is a link to an executive file so you are likely to get a warning.
Here's what I would do:
Download that file and choose Save rather than Run from the avast site.
Save it where you can find it again.
Download by Save the Norton Removal Tool also
I would not trust an older copy of SymNRT to be able to remove all the latest patches to the software. Since Norton are updating their products all the time, the Norton Removal Tool is constantly updated.
This link: Symantec Norton Removal Tool. will direct you to the current Symantec Norton Removal Tool.
You can jump to the Download the Norton Removal Tool step under your version of Norton.
Disconnect from the internet
Run the Avast tool a couple of times with a reboot inbetween
Run the Norton Removal Tool a couple of times with a reboot inbetween
Plug the internet connection in again
Downlod a fresh copy of NIS 2011 (this will be more uptodate than the one on your CD) and save it as before
New NIS 2011: Click on this link -- NIS 2011 This will download a single file of around 90MB which you should save on your hard drive where you can use it again if necessary -- Do not select Run but use Save when asked and remember where you put it!
Since you are running VISTA you can run the NIS installation file by Right Mouse Clicking on the file you downloaded and selecting Run as Administrtor which does it with elevated privileges and my avoid problems.
When it asks you for the KEY to activate create your MyNorotnAccount as directed (unless you have one already in which case log into it) and enter the KEY when asked.
That's a lot but it should give you a clean isntall of the current version although after installing (I hope) NIS run live update a few times with a reboot inbetween to get the latest updates.
Leet us know how it goes or if you have any questions.
How many characters or digits are there in your Product Key? It should a 25 digit/character Product Key. Please let us know the first letter of your Product Key.

A federal-state program aimed at helping homeowners in states hardest hit by the mortgage crisis is falling far short of its goals, a federal watchdog said in a report released Thursday.
When Congress bailed out big banks, it also limited the pay of CEOs at those banks -- one of the main reasons why banks wanted out of the bailout program.
Hundreds of struggling small community banks could be stuck in the federal government's much-maligned bank bailout program, a watchdog agency warned in a report released Thursday.
The leaders of Europe's two largest economies have said they've agreed on a "comprehensive package" of measures to address the eurozone sovereign debt and banking crisis, but they did not give any details.
CNN's Becky Anderson explains the Euro bailout fund and who pays what by using mugs of beer.
Europe's top banking regulator has started to re-examine the strength of the region's banks, modelling a big writedown of all peripheral eurozone sovereign debt.
It was once unthinkable but is now widely expected: Greece is headed toward default.
Regulators were under pressure to cut the biggest banks loose from the Wall Street bailout program, a federal watchdog said in a report issued Friday.
Treasury paid five law firms more than $27 million in fees to create contracts governing the TARP bailout of Wall Street banks, but law firms did a poor job of explaining what they did with the money, a watchdog said.
What is happening with the eurozone bailout fund?
As debt-ridden Greece braces for strikes while its prime minister attempts to reassure Europe that his country will pay its bills, the 17 eurozone countries are in various stages of deciding whether to approve the expansion of Europe's bailout fund.
U.S. taxpayers likely lost $1.3 billion in the government bailout of Chrysler, the Treasury Department announced Thursday.
It's been a pretty good week for the Treasury Department's bailout program.
Don't look now, but the bank bailout is starting to turn a profit.
The Obama Administration's main foreclosure-prevention program continues to fall short, and last year's Wall Street reform act does not adequately address the threat that big financial firms pose to the broader economy, the top federal bailout watchdog said Tuesday.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner outlined the benefits of the government's bailout of the financial system Thursday, saying that the overall cost will be a "fraction" of the original estimate.
Two years after the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program was launched, the Congressional Budget Office now estimates the government's economic rescue package will cost taxpayers $25 billion.
The Treasury Department changed its accounting style and produced an overly optimistic estimate of taxpayer losses in the AIG bailout, the special investigator for the federal bailouts said in a report released Monday.
The Treasury Department's multi-billion dollar bailout of American International Group moved into the black after the insurer completed two transactions that raised nearly $37 billion, the department said Monday.
Two years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, it seems safe to say that there is still a lot of resentment toward the financial sector.
The $700 billion bank bailout program helped rescue overseas economies, but international bailout programs did little to help the United States in return, according to a report from a congressionally appointed watchdog group released Thursday.
While bailed-out Wall Street is back on its feet and making profits, Main Street banks have gotten little to no boost from taxpayer bailouts, a watchdog panel said Wednesday.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner defended the government's bailout of the financial system on Tuesday, saying it has been a "critical" part of the economic recovery and will ultimately cost less than expected.
It might seem that the banking sector's bailout saga is nearing its close, leaving room to focus on other catastrophes like the European debt crisis or the Gulf oil spill, but some small banks across the country that benefited from TARP are still struggling to stay afloat, and many more will likely fail.
An overseer of the $700 billion financial sector bailout said Wednesday that insurer AIG lacked regulation, leading to a taxpayer-funded rescue that "broke all the rules."
During the next banking crisis, we will need speed. Remember how floundering financial firms, like Lehman Brothers, AIG, and Fannie Mae, contributed to fear and uncertainty - creating problems for their customers, counterparties, and the markets? Many commercial and investment banks panicked, stopped extending credit, and greatly damaged our economy and financial system.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told lawmakers Tuesday that a proposed bank fee could help stabilize the financial system and recoup bailout costs by targeting banks that engage in more risky behavior.
The cost of the government's controversial bailout of the financial system could amount to less than a third of what the Obama administration originally expected, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter to Congress Friday.
Ireland's government-backed "bad bank" is taking on 16 billion euros ($21.5 billion) in debt from five troubled Irish banks -- a first step toward buying 81 billion euros ($109 billion) in bad loans, the government announced.
CNN's Jim Boulden discusses Ireland's plan to set up a "bad bank" where some toxic loans will be transferred.
Government "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg plans to investigate the pay of executives at 419 firms that took TARP money, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal on Monday.
Bank of America is leaving the Troubled Asset Relief Program with a bang.
The watchdog charged with monitoring the government's $700 billion bailout unleashed one of his harshest criticisms of the program to date, questioning its overall effectiveness.
President Obama on Thursday called on Congress to tax the largest banks to ensure that U.S. taxpayers don't lose a penny from the federal bailout of the financial, auto and insurance industries over the past year.
The Obama administration wants to slap big banks and insurers on the wrist with a new tax. Oh wait, it's not a tax. It's a "financial crisis responsibility fee."
President Obama will propose a new tax on financial institutions Thursday to ensure that taxpayers who bailed out banks get paid back, according to a senior administration official.
President Obama, looking to recoup billions in expected losses from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, will announce a plan Thursday to impose fees on the country's biggest financial institutions, a senior administration official told CNN.
The bailed-out banks are bracing for their paydays in the form of bonuses as well as the outrage among Americans.
President Obama, looking to recoup billions in expected losses from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, will announce a plan Thursday to impose fees on the country's biggest financial institutions, a senior administration official told CNN.
The last of the big banks have returned their bailout funds, but uncorking the champagne would be premature: taxpayers still have a lot of skin in the game, and getting paid back only gets more difficult from here on out.
Wells Fargo said Monday it has reached an agreement with the government to return $25 billion in bailout money it received during last year's financial crisis.
The controversial $700 billion federal bailout program will be extended through Oct. 3, 2010, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said Wednesday.
As the Obama administration considers how to approach the next phase of the $700 billion financial bailout, questions are being raised on Capitol Hill about whether it is helping the economy.
Federal regulators, in rushing to rescue AIG last year, failed to use their clout to negotiate concessions from business partners of the troubled insurer, a bailout overseer said on Monday.
Now that we're officially (if barely) out of the Great Recession, it's time for our nation's elected officials to get down to serious business -- that of taking credit, assigning blame, and calling each other liars.
What do you know? The suits at troubled finance firm GMAC must like working for less money. How else to explain that GMAC is reportedly trying to get a third helping of government rescue funds? GMAC is one of the seven firms that the Obama administration announced sweeping changes in executive compensation for last week.
Will the third bailout be the charm for GMAC?
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Tuesday he expects a wave of banks to return government bailout money to taxpayers soon.
The $700 billion bailout will ultimately cost taxpayers billions of dollars, but the government stands to lose much more than the money it's pouring into companies.
A government watchdog says federal officials weren't entirely honest with the public about the health of the first 9 financial firms that got federal bailouts, according to a report released Monday.
As government regulators switch from crisis-mode to rescue mode, many of the biggest and most successful bailout programs are well on their way to extinction. But there are plenty of others that are gaining momentum as the economy heads toward a recovery.
It's nearly one year after the big crash, and the financial system is still functioning.
When it comes to TARP, it's better late than never for some banks.
If you're looking for the most detailed look yet about how banks have used funds from the $700 billion bailout, you're in luck.
Facing mounting bank failures, regulators are putting a new twist on a familiar idea: splitting a bank's good assets from the bad ones.
The economy may show signs of life, but so-called toxic assets are still a major threat to any recovery, a bailout watchdog group warned on Tuesday.
After rescuing the nation's banking system from utter disaster last fall, Washington now faces an arguably much trickier task: putting the bailout genie back in the bottle.
Lawmakers are quickly learning that "too big to fail" may be too complex to legislate away.
The independent overseer of the $700 billion bailout has caused a ruckus over an important question: How much do taxpayers have on the line?
The oversight czar tracking the $700 billion bailout told lawmakers Tuesday that he's concerned officials are not doing enough to prevent tax dollars from being wasted or pilfered.
The first big government bailout of the financial crisis -- the takeover of mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- is poised to be the most expensive and complicated to complete.
The independent overseer of the $700 billion bailout has caused a ruckus over an important question: How much do taxpayers have on the line?
The top cop tracking the $700 billion bailout program said Monday that he's concerned federal officials are ignoring his proposals for preventing tax dollars from being wasted or pilfered.
Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, testifying before Congress for the first time since leaving office, defended his role Thursday in salvaging a controversial deal struck during the height of the banking panic last fall.
Did government officials overstep their authority and force Bank of America to take over troubled Merrill Lynch at great taxpayer expense?
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. announced record earnings Tuesday of $3.44 billion for the second quarter of 2009.
The government on Wednesday tapped nine financial firms to manage a scaled-down program aimed at helping the nation's banks and said it would invest up to $30 billion to get it started.
The watchdog charged with investigating fraud in the government bailout programs is feuding with the Treasury Department about who he answers to.
Washington's most dramatic foray into the nation's financial sector since the Great Depression began on Oct. 13 with a misnamed acronym, an unwitting tribe of CEOs, and a confused staff of Treasury officials. It was a foreshadowing of the misadventure to come. "I don't even know who the 9 companies are. Do you?" Michele Davis, assistant secretary for public affairs, wrote in an e-mail sent at 7:15 a.m. on that history-making Monday. "No clue," Treasury chief of staff Jim Wilkinson responded. "Let me get the list."
Ten leading banks won approval to repay money from the government's controversial TARP program, regulators said Tuesday, which could represent approximately $68 billion in bailout funds returned to taxpayers.
Good riddance, TARP. It was nice knowing you.
Don't expect TARP-free banks to unleash a torrent of loans to cash-strapped consumers.
Banks that were stress tested by the government earlier this year should undergo another round of examinations, a government watchdog group said Tuesday, amid signs that the U.S. economy may be deteriorating faster than first expected.
Regulators shelved a controversial plan that aimed to cleanse banks' balance sheets of toxic assets.
Jamie Dimon isn't one to pull his punches. In fact, the JPMorgan chief's willingness to criticize, for example, the shortcomings of retroactively changing government bailout programs can be refreshing -- and often spot-on.
With another $30 billion in taxpayer bailout money set to go to General Motors -- for a total of $50 billion -- the bankrupt automaker will become the second-largest bailout recipient after AIG.
The government's list of troubled banks swelled in the first quarter, climbing to its highest level in nearly 15 years, regulators said Wednesday.
Some lawmakers are questioning whether the Treasury Department has the power to recycle returned bailout dollars to fund new or expanded rescues for auto companies, life insurers and small banks.
Banks that underwent stress tests earlier this month have set out raise $56 billion to plug holes in their books caused by big losses, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told a Senate panel on Wednesday.
Six life insurance companies have qualified to receive billions of dollars in bailout money under the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
With the stress tests behind them, banking regulators now face the potentially thornier issue of deciding which banks, if any, should be allowed to repay government funds.
Banks lining up to repay bailout funds are easing away from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s debt insurance plan, a program that helped banks through last fall's financial storm -- and has made money for the FDIC to boot.
Citigroup said Tuesday it authorized $8.2 billion in lending to U.S. consumers and businesses so far this year backed by taxpayer funding.
Ten of the nation's 19 largest banks will need to raise a total of $74.6 billion in capital, federal officials announced Thursday, bringing an end to relentless speculation about how much more money the nation's leading banks would need to withstand the recession.
Don't like your stress test results? The government may have just the tonic: the public-private investment partnerships that aim to relieve lenders of troubled assets.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. chief Sheila Bair reiterated calls for creating a system that would allow regulators to dismantle a large financial institution.
The Treasury Department must make public more information about how banks and other companies are spending money received under the $700 billion bailout, a program overseer told Congress on Thursday.
Bankers itching to put TARP in the rearview mirror are finding it hard to make a quick getaway.
The top cop tracking the government's $700 billion bailout program said Tuesday that he has opened 20 criminal investigations and six audits into whether tax dollars are being pilfered or wasted.
Dick Kovacevich ought to be happy. The sun is shining in San Francisco on an early April morning, shares of Wells Fargo, where Kovacevich is chairman of the board, have almost doubled in a month, and Wells appears to have survived the worst of the banking crisis with its reputation intact (so far).
It looks like Washington is finally giving up on the silly idea that all banks are in the same boat. It's about time.
Consumers take heed: You too might be able to buy a piece of a government subsidized toxic bank asset. Whether you should is another question.
The Treasury Department is poised to open its $700 billion bailout program to life insurers, officials said Wednesday.
The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to give the Treasury Department the power to ban future "unreasonable and excessive" compensation at companies receiving federal bailout money.
Rep. Barney Frank spars with CNN's Lou Dobbs over a bill that gives the government the power to limit executive bonuses.
The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to give the Treasury Department the power to ban future "unreasonable and excessive" compensation at companies receiving federal bailout money.
The mystery is solved: The Treasury Department has clarified its accounting of the $700 billion allocated for the financial-sector bailout, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.

When you are planning memorial services for a loved one, those services should be anything but common. Plan an event that truly reflects the personality of the deceased. There are a number of ways that you might add more character to your loved one's funeral services. Read on to explore a few possible ideas.
Plan a personalized menu
Most funeral services are followed by a catered reception, so you might use this opportunity to showcase some of your lost loved one's favorite foods. If your loved one was a cook, you could even prepare some of his or her favorite recipes to share with the guests of the service. Eating the foods that your loved one enjoyed is an excellent way to collectively celebrate his or her life.
Dress in your loved one's favorite color
Traditional funeral attire is rather subdued, but you do not have to follow this tradition to show respect to the deceased. If your loved one had a bold personality, you might instruct guests of the service to dress in brighter hues reflecting your loved one's favorite colors. You might also have shirts printed for the occasion that feature a favorite quote or picture of your loved one.
Create a memorial website
With a website dedicated to your loved one's memory, you can have an ongoing forum for thoughts, quotes, videos and pictures posted by friends and family from around the world. This is a great way to involve individuals who may not be able to make it to the funeral services but still wish to pay their respects.
At Friedrich-Jones Funeral Home, you can find a wide range of funeral services, including multicultural ceremonies, to honor the wishes of your departed loved ones. To connect with a member of the Jones family, call 630-355-0213.

When the morning bell rings tomorrow, the desks at several Michigan schools will be empty. Schools are closing in anticipation of teachers calling in sick in order to protest the state legislature's recent votes on right-to-work legislation:

Lovely. Essentially, striking teachers — adults — are throwing a colossal temper tantrum and teaching children that that sort of behavior is not only acceptable, but productive and desirable. Shameful. In aligning with union thugs and buying into Leftist lies about the right to work, these teachers are willfully hurting the students that they should be protecting.

Pass Defense. Problems versus the pass started up front earlier in the year, and now they include most of the defense. George Edwards didn't have Shawne Merriman on the field on Sunday; Merriman is one of two capable Bills edge rushers. Arthur Moats is the other. Moats needed to be on the field a lot more than he was, as Buffalo hurried Manning plenty but couldn't track him down. Moats had the team's only quarterback hit. No one is consistently getting to the quarterback, and the cornerbacks are playing worse by the week. Last year, Drayton Florence selected the first Jets game to lay an egg. Yesterday was one of those games. I lost count of his pass interference penalty count. I'll beat this drum again: Buffalo needs an edge rusher and a cornerback with their first two picks next April. Buffalo is solidifying inside the tackle box, but is still weak on the edges, and Eli Manning took advantage of this.
Ryan Fitzpatrick's Fade Route Passes. We'll talk about the other 28 Fitzpatrick passes in the next section. This section will focus on two. It's easy to focus on the interceptions, but they had more meaning than just the picks. The first of the two came on Buffalo's second drive in third quarter. Buffalo squandered the second half opening drive, and the Giants scored on their next drive. Fitzpatrick and the Bills needed to answer, and their ensuing drive gained a first down, with a 2nd-and-4 at the Bills 41. Fitzpatrick under-threw Stevie Johnson, and Corey Webster intercepted the ball. The second pass was a near mirror image of the first. Johnson was open, but Fitzpatrick again under-threw the ball. With defenses looking to compress the Bills' offense, Buffalo has to try these types of passes. If Buffalo's offense is going to continue to find room to operate, Fitzpatrick needs to complete these passes - or, at a minimum, they need to fall long and incomplete.
Compression Of The Buffalo Offense. Chan Gailey seems to have a short list of plays that he goes to: tunnel screen, spread comebacks, receiver bubble screen, Wildcat dive, etc. Buffalo breaks a couple of these plays each game. Buffalo's passing game, however, is becoming less and less explosive as the season wears on. Buffalo had three plays of over 20 yards on Sunday, and one was a run. Fitzpatrick's room for error in the short passing game is small. He's delivered, so far. This compression started to affect Fred Jackson on Sunday. If his 80-yard touchdown run is taken out, Jackson ran 15 times for 41 yards, and a 2.7 yards-per-carry average. Buffalo desperately needs to stretch the field vertically, or risk losing the advantages that they get from spreading it horizontally.
The Good
Fitzpatrick And The Passing Game. Fitzpatrick's day minus the two inceptions: 21-of-28, 244 yards and twotouchdowns. Other than Naaman Roosevelt's touchdown and David Nelson's seam route catch on the second-to-last drive, Fitzpatrick cut up the Giants' defense in the shorter zones. Defenses are forcing Fitzpatrick to beat them underneath the coverage, where the passing windows are smaller and there is smaller room for error. Fitzpatrick's accuracy has been good and his decision making solid, keeping Buffalo drives alive. For the most part, the receivers held up to their end of the bargain. Nelson and Johnson played well, and C.J. Spiller's moonlighting as a deep outside receiver paid some dividends as well.
Play Calling. Buffalo couldn't help but give up some plays to the Giants' front four. That group is simply too good not to create havoc. Even with Justin Tuck hurt, Perry Fewell had three talented rushers to throw at Fitzpatrick. The Giants did record three sacks, but that's a low number comparatively. Gailey called a bunch of three-step drop, rhythm pass combinations early, used the screen in just the right amount, and took advantage of relatively weak Giants linebackers. Spiller on the outside added the speed threat Buffalo needed. 24 points against New York, without any turnovers from the defense, is a good day.
Improved Run Defense. The operable word here is "improved." Buffalo certainly didn't do well on Sunday. George Edwards' group gave up 123 yards on the ground when the Giants entered the game averaging 83 rushing yards a game. Coming into Sunday, the Giants averaged 23 called runs and 33 called passes per game. Kevin Gilbride called eight more runs to get to 123 yards, not counting Manning's kneel-downs, for a 3.9 yards-per-carry average. Seems good for the Giants until compared to what Buffalo had been giving up. Buffalo had been giving up 138 yards on the ground per game on 25 carries, for a 5.5 average per rush. While not stellar, Buffalo improved against a concerted ground game by a team that has shown it can run well in the past. Baby steps.
There are no moral victories out of losses. This loss looks a bit different though. Last year, Buffalo was the team that played big and came up just short. Versus Cincinnati, Buffalo seemed to let up. This loss was neither. New York didn't allow Buffalo to stay in the game through its own mistakes. Buffalo didn't play poorly. Buffalo was the team that made enough mistakes to lose.
That may seem too nuanced of a change to take note of, but it's important. Buffalo wasn't the underdog team the favorite allowed into the game. Buffalo traded blows with a ten-win-type of team and gave the game to the opponent. Buffalo is going to have these types of games in the coming weeks against the Jets, Cowboys, and Patriots, at a minimum. The Bills' ability to trade blows and win in the end will punch their ticket to the playoffs.
For now, Buffalo has two weeks off. That time is needed to heal the injured, manufacture a pass rush, and stretch the field vertically on offense. Then it's back to business versus the Redskins as the Bills seek their first regular season win in Toronto on October 30.

Dangerous Wedding Traditions
July 30, 2010 by sarah
Filed under Wedding Advice
Just like any other type of tradition, weddings have their own set of sometimes quirky, sometimes meaningful rituals that we perform because — well, it's just what you do. But as we evolve as a civilization, and learn things that me may not have known before, we sometimes need to make a few tweaks to long-standing traditions.
One example is how it used to be commonplace for guests to throw rice at the bride and groom after their nuptials. This tradition has been around since early Roman times, and it symbolizes prosperity. But, recently we've learned that dry rice could be dangerous for the birds who would feast on it after the guests have gone. The birds would feast until their stomachs were full or until the rice was gone. Sadly, they would then have trouble when the rice expanded in their little bellies. Nowadays, we substitute things like bubbles or confetti to keep the birds safe.
In southern Italy, it is a tradition for the bride and groom to shoot off a firearms at their wedding celebration. Or, they may plan an elaborate display of fireworks. I don't know if there are any plans to tone-down these traditions, but it seem that it may time to think of alternatives. Recently, at a wedding in Sicily, the wedding photographer was tragically killed by an accidental shot fired by the bride or groom. This is just one tragic example of how people are hurt, or even killed by a dangerous tradition.
Traditions are great, and can add meaning to an already memorable day, but we need to remember that a wedding should be a joyous time for everyone. It's a time to celebrate like you never have before, but play it safe and keep dangerous traditions out of the mix.

We Love Duluth
By todobrillante on Oct 27, 2011 in Videos
Duluth is a special place. You know that. I know that. Duluth knows that.
We decided to document that fact by spending one day talking to random people in Duluth. We conducted the same basic interview over and over again in different locations for about 8 hours, and then set out to create a three minute video. Hours of film were eventually whittled down to six minutes that we want to share with you now. We hope you like it.
So who are "we"? This is the full disclosure part. The project grew out of the plan to create a 30-second commercial for Emily Larson, who is running for Duluth City Council. We quickly decided that we wanted to do something above and beyond a typical political commercial and that we wanted something that would be meaningful after the election on Nov. 8. So in addition to creating a 30-second "political" commercial (which is also up on YouTube) we created this video to pay homage to Duluth.
Again, we hope you enjoy it.
PS: PDD should add a tagging category for "reverence" or something to that effect instead of having both "advice" and "recommendations."

The Picks We Have:
The Carolina Panthers currently possess five picks in the NFL Draft; the 14th (first round), the 44th (2nd round), the 108th pick (4th round), and a fifth and sixth round selection. The Panthers needs spread across the board, but the most glaring needs are Wide Receiver, Offensive line (Tackle and Guard), Defensive tackle (Nose and Under would both be considered a need in the future), Cornerback, and Safety. One could also argue that the Panthers could elect to take a tight end or a linebacker for depth as well.
The bottom line here is that five picks simply aren't enough to address every need in this draft. The Panthers could also elect to take a kicker! Drafting solely out of the most glaring needs often can cripple a team, as reaching for need instead of drafting for talent can come back to bite you. Two of the biggest examples in recent history are Jimmy Clausen and the "double dip" at DT by Hurney in the 2011 draft.
Jimmy Clausen was hailed as the most NFL ready quarterback of the 2010 draft, but unfortunately was tasked with stepping into a system that many would argue he wasn't fit for, with little talent offensively to help him. This would in turn give the Panthers the 32nd ranked offense of the entire 2010-11 season, where they would elect to choose a new quarterback anyway.
My second example referred to the picking of Sione Fua and Terrell McClain in the 2011 draft using a pair of 3rd rounders after the selection of Cam Newton. The idea here was to have two players lined up and ready at both of the defensive tackle positions. Neither one could really be argued as the best player available at the spot they were taken, and neither one really stepped in and played all that great. The art of selecting a defensive tackle is knowing that they often require development, especially in the later rounds. We may in fact see Fua blossom, but currently he is not the answer.
The reason I bring these three up is they were NEED picks. McClain is no longer on the roster, being released in the 2012 offseason the same day the Panthers signed Dwan Edwards, who did in fact play well. Of the 3 discussed, only one (Fua) will really have much chance to sniff the field as a Carolina Panther, and even then his odds of starting do not look good. Clausen is buried in the depth chart behind franchise quarterback Cam Newton and one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league, Derek Anderson.
That all being said, there could be a variety of options available to the Panthers at Nose Tackle in the first two rounds (mainly, the second). It also isn't that crazy to see one selected in the later rounds. However, with the first two picks, a good drafting franchise will usually be able to get two starters (or at the very least, a starter and a good contributor). And with all of the Panthers' needs, Gettleman cannot afford to miss on either of those picks this season.
The Options in The Draft:
This draft is especially heavy in defensive tackle depth. However, for the sake of this article, I will take a look at strictly nose tackles. Here is the WalterFootball.com breakdown of 2013 Nose Tackles:
- Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Height: 6-3. Weight: 311. Arm: 33.58.
40 Time: 5.15.
Projected Round (2013): Top-16.
4/6/13: The heart issue that caused Lotulelei to be pulled out of the Combine has been determined to be a non-issue. He has been given full medical clearance to play pro football. Lotulelei put on a show at his pro day and was very impressive with power, speed and explosion.
Lotulelei had an excellent senior season. He played well against BYU, Utah State, USC, UCLA and Washington. Lotulelei was extremely disruptive and more so than the numbers indicate. He recorded 42 tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, five sacks, three forced fumbles and four passes broken up.
Lotulelei has a rare combination of size, power, speed and explosion. He beats blockers with strength and speed. Lotulelei is dominant when he isn't double-teamed and remains effective while taking on two blockers.
8/25/12: Lotulelei was a First-Team All-Pac-12 pick in 2011 and won the Morris Trophy as the conference's top defensive lineman as voted on by the starting offensive linemen. He recorded 44 tackles, 1.5 sacks, nine tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. As a redshirt sophomore in 2010, Lotulelei was a backup for most of the season and had 21 tackles with 2.5 tackles for a loss. He is still developing and has tons of potential.
Lotulelei was more disruptive last year than his numbers indicate. He causes a lot of havoc at the point of attack by his ability to fire through his gap and penetrate the backfield. Lotulelei is powerful and extremely quick. He has the sheer strength to grab guards and toss them aside. He also explodes off the snap to quickly gain leverage on the guard.
The main thing that the senior has to work on is adding some more pass-rushing moves. He should add a rip move and spin move to go along with his speed and power rushes. Lotulelei is still raw. He has a huge ceiling and should only get better as he gains more experience. Lotulelei could fit in any NFL scheme, but could be a prototypical tackle for a 4-3 defense.
- Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Height: 6-3. Weight: 359. Arm: 33 1/8. Hand: 9 1/2.
Projected 40 Time: 5.45.
Projected Round (2013): 1-2.
4/6/13: Jenkins racked up 50 tackles, two tackles for a loss and a sack in 2012. He stood out with good games against Missouri, South Carolina, Florida and Auburn. Jenkins played well in the SEC Championship and beat Alabama guard Chance Warmack for a sack.
Jenkins is a load at the line of scrimmage who can collapse the pocket while stuffing runs. He helped his stock this season and was dominant at the Senior Bowl. Jenkins was destroying interior linemen with his bull rush and showed some serious explosiveness off the snap. It isn't out of the question for Jenkins to be a mid first-rounder.
8/25/12: The junior college product Jenkins showed off massive size with some surprising athleticism in his debut last year for the Bulldogs. The junior had 28 with six tackles for a loss and three sacks.
Jenkins is a massive load at the line of scrimmage. He is a natural fit as a zero-technique nose tackle in a 3-4 defense. It helps that Jenkins already plays that position for Georgia.
- Johnathan Hankins*, DT, Ohio State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 320. Arm: 33.08
40 Time: 5.31.
Projected Round (2013): 1-2.
4/6/13: Hankins was solid, but unspectacular, at the Combine. He started out the year extremely strongly for Ohio State. He was a monster in the middle of the line as a run-stuffer with some pressure as a pass-rusher.
Hankins was a dominant force against California, among others. He totaled 10 tackles and a sack while making plays all over the field. Hankins made tackles outside of his gap. One was on a wide receiver screen on the perimeter. He was beating double-team blocks from a guard and center to stuff runs at the line of scrimmage.
Hankins' play cooled off some after a dominant September, but he still caused problems at the line of scrimmage and finished his collegiate career strong with a good performance against Michigan. Hankins totaled 55 tackles, four tackles for a loss and a sack in 2012.
8/25/12: Hankins is a massive tackle who takes up a lot of space and blockers at the point of attack. The sophomore had a strong 2011 season. He was a fabulous run-defender at that point of attack and totaled 67 tackles. Hankins also had 11 tackles for a loss and three sacks. He notched 16 tackles and a sack as a freshman.
Even though Hankins only had three sacks last year, he was a better pass-rusher than the numbers indicate. Hankins got good penetration into the pocket to hurry quarterbacks and take away space for them to step up in the pocket. He has serious quickness that he uses to fire into his gap and disrupt plays.
NFL coaches are going to love Hankins' versatility. He has played all over the defensive line. Hankins has lined up as a three-technique, on the outside shoulder of the guard; a two-gap defensive tackle technique; a defensive end; and the zero-technique - as a nose tackle above the center. Thus, he could fit as in a 4-3 as a defensive tackle, or in a 3-4 defense as a nose tackle or defensive end.
If Hankins becomes a more consistent pass-rusher and is able to produce a quality sack total, he could contend to be the top tackle selected. With Ohio State's new attacking defense, it wouldn't be surprising if the junior increases his sack production in 2012.
- Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
Height: 6-3. Weight: 323. Arm: 32.08.
Projected 40 Time: 5.35.
Projected Round (2013): 2-3.
4/6/13: Scouts told WalterFootball.com they don't view Williams as a first-rounder because he won't be on the field in pass-rushing situations. However, some project him to go on Thursday night.
Williams had a rough start to his senior season. He was limited against Michigan in Week 1 and sat out the next game, against Western Kentucky, with a concussion. Williams played better later in the year with good performances versus Texas A&M, LSU, Georgia and Notre Dame. He had 37 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss and one sack in 2012.
Williams is a good run-stuffer, but doesn't offer much of anything as a pass-rusher. He looks like a two-down player at most for the NFL, and with the amount of nickel formations teams run, may only end up playing 40 percent of his defense's snaps.
Williams was unable to run in the field workouts at the Combine.
8/25/12: The "tattooed monster from down under" has some shear power and quickness. The Australian didn't start playing football until he was 15 years old. He played a couple seasons of community college before breaking into the lineup as a junior for Alabama.
Williams had 24 tackles with four tackles for a loss and half a sack in 2011. He was a starting five-technique defensive end but moved inside to tackle as part of a four-man front in pass-rushing situations. Williams should take on a prominent role in the Alabama defense since the Crimson Tide lost a number of players to the 2012 NFL Draft.
- Brandon Williams, DT, Missouri Southern
Height: 6-1. Weight: 341. Arm: 32 3/4. Hand: 9 5/8.
40 Time: 5.37.
Projected Round (2012): 2-3.
4/6/13: Williams was a consistent pass-rusher over the last three seasons. He totaled 25.5 sacks over that time. Williams had 68 tackles, 16.5 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks and five forced fumbles this year. He totaled eight sacks and 35 tackles in 2011. Williams recorded nine sacks and 17 tackles for a loss as a sophomore. He helped himself by performing well at the Senior Bowl.
Of the nose tackles, it wouldn't be all that surprising for the Panthers to select one of them in the 2nd-4th round. Star Lotulelei is all but gone from our hopes, as he will probably go in the top 5 of the first round. Sylvester Williams from UNC also isn't out of the question, as he did line up at Nose in college. There are a variety of options available here, but as we all know, when the draft actually falls, weird things can happen.
What If We Don't Take One?
The Panthers could very easily scoop a nose tackle up in the second, and have shown a great deal of interest. However, we have seen more visits with under tackles like Sharrif Floyd and Sheldon Richardson, and many others. What if one of those two is available at #14? What if Jonathan Cyprien or one of the other highly rated safeties is available at #44?
It's almost a foregone conclusion to assume that the Panthers will take a wide receiver with one of their top 2 picks. Steve Smith won't be around much longer, and of Cam's 7,920 yards passing in two seasons, Smith has accounted for 2,568 of it. That's a whopping 32.4% of Cam Newton's passing yards. If the Panthers want to be able to win when Steve Smith is gone, easing in his replacement is ideal, and having that added weapon will help the passing game for the present Carolina Panthers.
Gettleman will most likely elect to take a receiver with their top pick, but if they choose not to, the second rounder is almost certainly pointing in that direction. And herein lies the problem. A wide receiver is a very ideal pick in this year's draft, there's a lot of good ones available all around the top two rounds. So with a receiver almost certainly being a lock for one of the top two picks, Gettleman could go in any number of directions with the other. There's safeties, under tackles, and offensive lineman that are all highly rated, and very likely to be available when the Panthers are on the board.
What Do We Do Now?!
So draft day has come and gone, and we look back on the scenario where the Panthers don't take a nose tackle. Now begins the time to figure out what to do to patch this hole. And to start, we look at the current roster. The We currently only have Colin Cole, Sione Fua, and Frank Kearse as the only three with any nose tackle experience. Colin Cole has been absent from football since September of 2011, after failing his physical with Seattle from an ankle injury. He went through surgery to repair it, and is returning. Cole is an interesting prospect here, having started 11 games for Seattle in 2010. He could very easily push for some playing time in a relatively thin group at NT.
We covered Sione Fua earlier. With 12 starts under his belt and two offseasons, he has every opportunity to get some playing time. If he simply needed some time to develop and get into the pro game, this is his time to prove it. He can easily win the starting job, or lose his job entirely this season.
Then there's Frank Kearse. The coaching staff has been high on Kearse since acquiring him from Miami's practice squad in 2011. He's a very large lineman with the physical attributes to be successful, and we've seen flashes of it. When Ron Edwards was not in or injured, we often saw Kearse step in and play. Kearse has 8 registered starts so far as a Panther, and he will also push for some playing time. If the Panthers don't draft a nose tackle, look for some undrafted free agents to come in and push as well.
And finally, we have what I like to call the Dwan Edwards phenomena. On September 1st of the 2012 season, we were looking at Ron Edwards and Terrell McClain as the starters on the d-line. The next day, Dwan Edwards would be in a Panthers uniform, and maintain the starting position at Under Tackle for most of the season, while McClain would be sent packing.
The point here is that if the Panthers don't find "their guy" at nose tackle during the draft, its very possible that before the season or during training camp that the Panthers find a quick signing for a veteran presence. Now, it's hard to bank on this happening, but Gettleman would not allow for the Panthers to be left high and dry at nose tackle if he didn't think we have the players here on the roster. The draft is the place to find your future, and unfortunately the cards don't always fall where every need can be met.
So I hope that I'm wrong and that the Panthers find the right guy at nose tackle in the draft and this article is rendered irrelevant. But defensive tackles often need time to develop, so it's possible Gettleman doesn't take a nose tackle high in the draft. It's important to take the players who will make the best impact. The past two years we have been extremely lucky to have back to back offensive/defensive rookies of the year. I think we can all agree we'd like to see that again!
What do you think, Panthers' fans? Should we take a nose tackle or find another way to patch the hole?

Through the prayers and financial contributions of sponsors, Orphans First helps meet the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of hurting children in many countries. By seeing love in action, and hearing God's Word, these little ones who thought they were last learn that through Christ they are first (Mt.19:30). The fatherless learn they have a Father (Ps.68:5). And abandoned children discover they have a family (Ps.68:6).
Two important events take place tomorrow in Southern California--events that could change the lives of local foster children & orphans. 1,000 children in the foster system are waiting & hoping to be adopted. Others just need a mentor, someone to care for them. If you live in the area, please join us. And please spread the word. If you're reading this after the event, check out the article anyway to see how to get involved in the future.
And don't forget to check out other recent articles and videos on the global orphan crisis here and about the movie Not Today and child-trafficking in India in the very area where we have 3 children's homes.
31 million orphans struggle to survive in India--which is why Orphans First has several children's homes in South India. Begging, stealing, hunger, cold, fear, sickness, disease, sexual exploitation… These are just a few words that describe their lot in life. They live in misery. Mother India, Life Through the Eyes of an Orphan, tells the story of 25 of these orphans.
