The United States national team's day ahead in Columbus
Sep 9, 2013, 12:04 PM EST
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jurgen Klinsmann's U.S. Soccer team has been in Columbus for two days now, having arrived on Saturday evening, a day ahead of the reinforcements necessitated by yellow cards (phantom cards, and real ones) and Michael Bradley's injury.
The team will hold a mid-afternoon press conference at Crew Stadium, followed by the team training (closed to fans and media), also at the stadium. The better press conference, by the way, may be the one happening at the stadium around 7 p.m., when Mexican officials and new manager Luis Fernando Tena will speak before the cameras and microphones. Recent press conference with just-dismissed Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre had the combative feel of a full-on MMA brawl, so we'll see how Mexican reporters handle the new man.
After training, members of the United States team will appear at a pep rally, which has become standard practice at these qualifiers. (And if you're in the area, they are generally worth it, with Klinsmann and players speaking and interacting with fans in ways that highly paid professional athletes don't always do.)
The pep rally is at the Bluestone, just outside downtown. It begins at 5 p.m., with players appearing later in the evening.

"The better press conference, by the way, may be the one happening at the stadium around 7 p.m., when Mexican officials and new manager Luis Fernando Tena will speak before the cameras and microphones."
How so? Is it really because of their new manager? How can a team that sucks, can have a better press conference than a great team like the US? Especially when they're the home team.

Tennessee: Loud and proud
Country music legends made Nashville famous. But this Tennessee city isn't all cowboy hats and denims, says Rob Crossan
Saturday 26 January 2008
There's vomit all over the stage. The singer, having just howled his way through a heavy rock number which, to the best of my knowledge, was called "Graawwwwllliinnnrrr" has just broken the microphone stand in two and stage-dived into a crowd of drainpipe-trouser-clad scenesters. "I think the bassist has electrocuted himself!" yells the hired security beef at the side of the stage as the crowd charge on to the proscenium. This might be Nashville but the chances of seeing a cowboy hat or hearing a cover of "Stand by Your Man" are looking slimmer by the minute tonight.
"They call it the Nashville curse," local singer-songwriter Matthew Ryan had told me earlier that day over a robust Southern-style lunch of sausage, grits and Bud, served at Jacks' BBQ in the heart of downtown. "It was getting to the point where nobody believed that anything could come out of Nashville unless it had a rhinestone on it. We understand that the heritage is important but if you want to do something that is different to country then it's pretty hard to get anyone to take you seriously."
Later that night as the bouncers aggressively cleared out the crowd and the roadies reluctantly cleared up the vomit it was becoming obvious that Cage the Elephant, the perpetrators of the rock'*'roll carnage I'd just witnessed, were far from the only show in town. There were legions of people attempting to change the image of Nashville as being the musical home to nothing that isn't clad in a cowboy hat and embroidered denim.
The Next Big Nashville music festival is a showcase for more than 130 artists ranging from the howling rock'*'roll of Cage the Elephant to electronica, Southern Gothic balladeers and swampy 21st-century blues. It takes place over a long weekend in September. Not all the bands vomit on stage, though many do seem to harbour dreams of being the next Kings of Leon. They were the first non-country band from the city to achieve global fame – and in the process sparked the realisation among new-music lovers on both sides of the Atlantic that Nashville's country roots had being surrounded by a motley variety of other plant life.
To say that country music is a big deal in Nashville is an understatement of epic proportions. The main drag of Broadway in the downtown of the city is a neon-splattered artery of bars with names such as "Tootsies" and "Hanks" that play sphincter-rupturingly loud country tunes to a braying and greying crowd of out-of-towners on Friday and Saturday nights. Tremendous, unpretentious fun it is, but the lack of young blood is noticeable both on and off the stages. I found it hard to spot anyone without a paunch and who was under the age of 45.
Ignorance of country music in these circles is considered worthy of open mockery: "Y'going to the Grand Ole Opry?" I'm asked by one of a crowd of Southern gentlemen who, it transpired, were on some kind of divorce-party drinking spree.
"I don't know what that is," I replied.
"Hell, are you some kind of Jack-ass?"
I backed off quickly. Country music in the US has superstars who don't even touch the radar over here. Garth Brooks aside, dozens of country acts earn millions and are household names across the American South, though British non-aficionados won't have heard of them. Alan Jackson? Toby Keith? Gretchen Wilson, anyone? They've made scarcely a scratch in the UK but in this part of the world they contributed to the country music genre selling more than 77 million records in the US in 2004.
The shrine for all this, I later discovered, is the aforementioned Grand Ole Opry. This is the venue for, and the name of, the world's longest-running radio show (it's been on the air since 1925 and can be heard on crackly medium wave throughout the US). With the help of a live studio audience, thousands of country music stars, from Dolly Parton to Johnny Cash have performed on a Saturday night programme which, with its utterly atavistic policies, still has live barbershop quartets singing the commercials. Almost unthinkably for the US, the programme only acquired a sponsor in 2004. Appropriately, it was a chain of country-themed restaurants called Cracker Barrel.
It's easy to get a ticket to see the show: just roll up to the Ryman Auditorium during the winter months and the more modern Grand Ole Opry House in summer where admission starts at $36 (£19). But you get a sense of watching a live museum piece rather than something that is still evolving; a feeling exacerbated by the stage backdrop of a cartoon barnyard and an audience of pensioners from out of state, sated on chicken, grits and beer.
It's all very different to the late Sixties, when Bob Dylan journeyed over here to record with Johnny Cash and release a country album homage entitled Nashville Skyline.
It was around the same time that Elvis Presley was using Nashville as his base to record the likes of "Crying in the Chapel" and the grandiose "How Great Thou' Art", which saw him win a Grammy for Best Sacred Performance in 1967. RCA Studio B is the oldest surviving recording studio in Nashville and was where the King recorded nearly all his Sixties hits. Arriving late at night, Elvis and the "Memphis Mafia" would get into their stride at around 3am. The King's demands were legendary: in order to create the right atmosphere for "Crying in the Chapel", for example, every single light in the building was turned off before Elvis would begin to sing.
Since its closure as a studio in 1977, the place has been refitted to its original design. It's located on Music Square West and visitors can take in the ambience on the hourly tours which take place every day (admission is $12.95/£6.80). The centrepiece of the room is a 1942 Steinway. Built for NBC Studios in New York, it hasn't left the room since 1957 (Elvis's attempt to buy it was rebuffed).
"If a song was recorded on RCA session in Studio B, that's the piano that was used," says my guide. I nervously take the battered black leather stool and clumsily bash out my own version of "Return to Sender".
Incredibly, any visitor is allowed to do this if they ask nicely. It's a thrill to tinkle the same ivories as the King – and a much more intimate experience than the gimmicky shopping-mall feel of Graceland, Presley's Memphis mansion.
Strangely enough, Nashville was being graced by Elvis during my visit; Elvis Costello was performing at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Opened in 2006 at a cost of $123m (£65m), the main hall is dominated by a huge organ and the number of frosted chandeliers inside wouldn't look out of place in a Russian opera house, yet the feel is still sleek and modern. Large windows allow honeyed shafts of natural light to flood the room.
But it's in the bijou basement of independent, vinyl-heavy record stores such as Grimey's that, most nights of the week, you'll hear artists of a dizzyingly high standard and begin to understand why A&R men from across the country are swarming towards Nashville right now.
The night I left, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a set from Brooke Waggoner. In among all the skinny-jean-clad biliousness, it was something approaching miraculous that the loudest noise I heard during my time in Tennessee came from a piano, cello and violin combination, as Waggoner combined Southern Gothic charm with Rachmaninov-esque explosions of power on her piano. "Thanks so much," she whispers at the end in a cute Southern drawl.
The accent of Nashville may still scream country, but the words and the music are steadily moving away into the unknown.

Tweeted this awesome project!
Take control of Zeb in this puzzle/platformer. He is a small energy based life form from space, known as a Plazma Being. While journeying through space to his home, he got kidnapped by aliens. They took him back to their planet and threw him into captivity. During this time a series of earthquakes shook the planet and wreaked havoc upon the alien civilization, but giving Zeb a chance to escape.
The object of the game is to help Zeb make his way back to the ship which brought him to the planet, and use it to escape. Zeb must traverse between levels using the alien's teleportation system, and use his various energy powers to proceed through each level. Zeb can move objects, lock them in position, posses them and more. But it's not as easy as it sounds. The teleporters have lost some of their power, so he must also collect energy to recharge them at the end of each level.
The game features 10 puzzle/platforming filled levels spread out between 3 different environments.
Estimated gameplay time based on tester feedback is 4-5 hours.

Hey all!
Some good news. After today's batch of Greenlit games Plazma Being has been bumped up to #93 on Steam Greenlight! :)
Every vote counts now so if you'd like to vote for the game head on over to my Greenlight Page and click that lovely "Yes" button. All votes are greatly appreciated :)
Tweeted this awesome project!
thank you! :)
Hi, just saw this game on the front page, have a few questions if you don't mind:
1. xbox controller support?
2. average game length?
3. any replay value? (e.g. randomisation, new game + etc)
4. apart from some bits in the video where there's enemies attacking you, are there any timed puzzles, or can you take your time with it?
5. max resolution it runs at? windowed mode?
Hi DryEagle :)
1. no xbox controller support. game uses mouse and keyboard. controlls are bindable though.
2. 4-5 hours (this is based on feedback from people who tested the game for me)
3. No replay value as such. You can choose to switch on energy collection when you start a new game. This will simply add a few extra puzzles (energy to collect in each level). So I guess if you play without that the first time round, you could play again with it turned on.
4. There are some parts where you have to think fast (eg when you are being attacked) but there are no puzzles that require you to complete them in a certain amount of time. you can take as much time as you like.
5. you can run the game fullscreen or windowed. resolution ranges from 800x600 to 1600x1024.
hope this helps :)
Game seems incredible,i will download the demo, if i like will buy the game..
I channel games indies , i'm doing a gameplay of the game .. Congratulations
thanks that's awesome :D
Wow, this game looks great. You have some very nice ideas thrown in there. And considering this is your first game, it's realy amazing. One question: I see you are using the Love engine, so are you considering making builds for linux/mac too?
Hey there, thanks for the comment :) Yeah I'm considering a linux release alright, but I'd like to see how it goes on windows first. I'm not too familiar with LInux, so I'll have to decide if it's worth the effort. Same goes for mac. Thanks again :D
I'm a Linux user/dev and have used LOVE in the past, so I can help you out there if you neeed it.
thanks for the offer! i'll give you a shout if i go ahead with a linux release :)

Title: Possibly escaped non-native Buddleja davidii in Missouri
Answered by: Nan Hampton and Joe Marcus
QUESTION:About 3 years ago my wife and I were traveling thru southeastern Missouri and stopped at a road side rest station on Interstate 44. While we were there we noticed a shrub about 4 to 5 feet tall with pale blue flowers. This plant was covered with butterflies. We counted 12 to 15 different types. There were other flowering plants in the same bed and in other beds nearby but all of the butterflies were on this one plant. This was in late August/early September. Is there anyway to find out what this plant was? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
ANSWER:It is possible that the shrub you saw was butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii—often spelled: Buddleia). It is not native to North America, but is commonly planted in gardens and may be an escapee. It comes in a variety of colors, blooms in late summer, and is definitely a butterfly magnet. Another possibility for a cultivated plant that fits your description is French hybrid ceanothus (Ceanothus x delilianus). It is a hybrid of C. coeruleus (synonym=C. caeruleus) from Mexico and C. americanus that is native to Missouri. The hybrid is a hardy plant with pale blue flowers.
Here are some other possibilities that are Missouri natives and somewhat fit your description:
Blue sage (Salvia azurea var. grandiflora)
Narrow-leaved mountain mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium)
Mountain mint (Pycnanthemum pilosum)
If none of these look like the shrub you saw, you might check the plants with blue flowers on Missouriplants.com.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. and SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (SKAS), an aviation services company specializing in ground-based services to the general aviation marketplace, today announced its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Revenue increased by 7.5 percent to $12,893,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with corresponding prior-year period revenue of $11,993,660. The primary drivers of the increase were revenue associated with the sale of fuel and related items, which increased by 12.3 percent to approximately $7,000,000. Revenue associated with services and supply items increased by 2.0 percent to approximately $5,800,000 and revenue from all other sources increased by 19.7 percent to approximately $164,000.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $509,772, an increase of 32.5 percent as compared to net income of $384,713 in the same period in 2011.
"We are pleased to post another reporting period of increased revenue and sustained profitability," stated Ron Ricciardi, the Company's President and CEO. "The sale of fuel and related items continues its momentum – increasing in volume as well as through our pricing methodology. We generally price our fuel products on a fixed dollar margin basis. As the cost of fuel increases, the corresponding customer price increases as well. If volume is constant, this methodology yields higher revenue but at comparable gross margins. We experienced higher average fuel costs in 2012 as compared to 2011. Revenue from services and supplies also continues to grow on a year-over-year basis primarily paced by the performance of our heliport operation."
The Company also reported Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1,412,056 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an improvement of $184,671 or 15.0 percent as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1,227,385 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Please see footnote 1 below for the Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a description of why the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and important disclaimers regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the appropriate GAAP measure is also included in footnote 1.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statement
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "seeks," "believes," "estimates," "expects" and similar references to future periods. These statements may include projections of revenue, provisions for doubtful accounts, income or loss, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, other financial items, statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations, acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, statements of future economic performance, statements of the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements and statements other than statements of historical fact.
Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The Company therefore cautions readers of this press release against relying on any of these forward-looking statements because they are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the Company's services and pricing, general economic conditions, its ability to raise additional capital, its ability to obtain the various approvals and permits for the acquisition and operation of FBOs and the other risk factors contained under Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
1 Explanation of Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for stock based compensation expense and other income. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure that is not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), is a useful performance metric because it eliminates non-cash and/or non-recurring charges to earnings. It is important to note that non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Non-cash and/or one-time charges and credits

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Los Angeles Times: On the 40-year anniversary of the last manned moon mission, former NASA officials and investors have launched a new enterprise in commercial space travel called Golden Spike.
At an announcement in Washington on Thursday, former Apollo flight director Gerry Griffin and former NASA science chief Alan Stern, the chairman of the board and chief executive of the new company, outlined their ambitious plans. Using existing rockets and "emerging commercial-crew spacecraft" -- a la SpaceX -- the outfit hopes to operate two-person lunar missions starting at a cost of $1.4 billion by the end of the decade. in a press release, Golden Spike said that the company was already working with aerospace companies to begin designing a lunar lander, lunar space suits and surface experiment packages that might be put to use by future moon walkers. The company will also sponsor a 2013 conference on potential lunar science opportunities its missions might pursue.

Their vegan cheesecake is the best dessert ever, and their cakes are really moist and yummy. It you're in the area you should definitely stop here. The owner and his family are also very friendly.

Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber quickest in pre-season F1 testing
The final pre-season session before the start of the season is taking place
Thursday 28 February 2013
Red Bull driver Mark Webber set the pace today in cold and wet conditions on the first day of the final Formula One pre-season testing session, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes.
After Ferrari's Felipe Massa stopped on the track with less than half an hour to go, Webber out-dueled Hamilton with both clocking flying
laps just before the session ended.
Jean-Enric Vergne of Toro Rosso recorded the third fastest lap, in front of rookies Valtteri Bottas of Williams and Esteban Gutierrez of Sauber.
Testing continues through to Sunday before the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on March 17.

Sex, relationships can get better with age
Updated On: Nov 22 2010 09:59:51 AM CST
You don't just get older, you get better, the old adage says. And many believe the same can be said for sex and relationships.
Curtis Weaver says the secret ingredient to successful relationships and a great sex life is understanding one's partner.
"I believe most older people don't have great sex," Weaver says. "I also believe most people at any age don't have great sex. Most don't care enough about the other person to ensure they are satisfied, at any age."
Weaver, an anti-aging expert and host of a Blog Talk Radio show, says having a great relationship and sex does not automatically occur. "If you're having good sex after 60, it's because you've been having good sex for quite a few years before. Good sex is simple: Make sure your partner believes it's good sex too. "
Sex Gets Better
Dr. Dorree Lynn, a psychologist and life coach, says sex definitely improves with age, and she says there are many contributing factors.
Lynn says sex earlier in life is often hormone driven, but as a person ages it is sensuality driven.
"There is more touching, cuddling, kissing as well as intercourse," says Lynn, who is also the founder of Fiftyandfurthermore, which deals with a variety of topics for people embarking on the second half of their lives.
In fact, she frequently hears from clients that the sex they are having as a senior citizen is the best they have ever had.
Another factor is that couples have more time for intimacy. Instead of jumping out of bed to go to work or take care of children, older couples can often lie around and allow more time for satisfaction.
Renegotiate Relationship
Often, couples have to relearn each other once children have moved out, but Lynn says this should not be viewed as a negative occurrence. It is just part of that stage of life.
Lynn, author of "Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex After 50," adds that often couples allow children to take up the bulk of the time and now "the glue that has kept them together no longer exists."
"Long-term relationships require renegotiations," she says. "Use the time to start to spend time with each other enjoying activities, reconnecting sexually. Sometimes things have been pushed to the side because of family dynamics."
If renegotiation is required, Lynn recommends taking walks together, communicating, working out, volunteering and visiting museums or other attractions.
"It is a chance for intimacy that they have never had before," says Lynn.
Rita DeMaria, author of "The 7 Stages of Marriage," calls this stage the reunion stage.
DeMaria's book deals with the various phases that all marriages go through.
DeMaria, like Lynn, views the stage in a positive light.
In this stage there is the "perfect opportunity to take stock of all your marital strengths and to draw on trust, commitment and comfort you've built through the years," she writes.
DeMaria writes that this phase is like your honeymoon but better, because you are "wiser, kinder and emotionally mature."
She adds that many call this the second half of a marriage. She offers a few tips to get through it fairly unscathed.
The tips include simply hanging out with your spouse, planning events that you both enjoy and anticipating that there will be disagreements you can settle.
This all leads up to the final stage, the reunion stage, which she calls a joyful culmination.
"The journey required hard work and patience, love and determination. Defying the odds, you've built a relationship. A home. A family. A life," she writes. "Was it all worthwhile? For most couples, the answer is a resounding 'yes.' "

Coast Guard frees 2 Mich. vessels from icy waters
The U.S. Coast Guard has freed two ships trapped by ice in the Straits of Mackinac between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
The Associated Press
The U.S. Coast Guard has freed two ships trapped by ice in the Straits of Mackinac between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
Authorities say a 678-foot bulk carrier named the Manistee and its 18 crew members were encountered ice Saturday morning west of the Mackinac Bridge.
Crew members on the Coast Guard cutter Biscayne Bay freed the Manistee and escorted the vessel into Lake Huron.
The Biscayne Bay also freed the 90-foot ferry, Huron, with 68 people aboard from ice between Saint Ignace and Mackinac Island Friday evening. The cutter later escorted the Huron back to Saint Ignace.
The cutter and its crew have broken ice throughout Lake Superior and Lake Michigan since December as part of Operation Taconite, the Coast Guard's largest domestic ice-breaking operation.

WARSAW (Reuters) - The plane carrying Russia's defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, changed its status back to civilian and was permitted to fly over Poland, Poland's Ministry of Defence said.
"The flight has now been submitted to the authorities as civilian," said Piotr Walatek, spokesman for the ministry's Armed Forces Operations Command.
"Civilian flights are taking place on a regular basis and it now has the permission to enter Poland's airspace."
Poland's state air navigation services agency PAZP earlier declined permission because the plane had changed its status to military from civil for unknown reasons.

A closer look at Seattle's Saturday draft picks
Bios of players chosen by the Seahawks in rounds 4 through 7
K.J. Wright
LB, Mississippi State
6-3 | 246 pounds | 4th round (99 overall)
An instinctive player, Wright started at both weakside and strongside linebacker in college. He also will have a chance to try his hand as a pass-rushing end in Seattle's defensive scheme. Wright had nine sacks in college, and coach Pete Carroll said that while at USC, he used linebackers Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing as pass rushers from the weakside defensive end spot .
Kris Durham
WR, Georgia
6-5 | 216 | 4th round (107)
Durham caught only 64 passes in his college career and was not among the 329 players who were invited to the scouting combine in Indianapolis in February. But he's fast for his size, which is reminiscent of starting wideout Mike Williams. "We like Kris because he's 6-5," Carroll said. "We wanted another big guy to give us the effect that Mike gives us out there, and to not lose that in case Mike's not available. We saw him in a very special way."
Richard Sherman
CB, Stanford
6-2 | 195 | 5th round (154)
Sherman came out of Dominguez High School in Compton, Calif., becoming only the second player he knew from his high school to attend Stanford. He played wide receiver his first two years at the school before suffering a knee injury, taking a medical redshirt, and then changing to cornerback. He was drafted to fit Seattle's emphasis on press coverage from its corners. "This is a big, tall, long, athletic kid," Carroll said. "He's a wonderful kid that can play for us, and I'm real excited."
Mark Legree
FS, Appalachian State
6-0 | 211 | 5th round (156)
Legree was lightly recruited out of a small high school in Georgia with 28 seniors in his graduating class. Appalachian State was the only school to offer a scholarship, and he became a three-year starter with 22 career interceptions. "Great ball skills, a tough guy," general manager John Schneider said. "He's got great range, and he's a good hitter, and we'll be able to do some cool stuff with him."
Byron Maxwell
CB, Clemson
6-0 | 207 | 6th round (173)
Maxwell plays a position known for its speed, but strength is a big part of Maxwell's game. "Last guy out of the weight room," Schneider said. "The strength coach really likes this guy at Clemson." Maxwell was a highly recruited player from South Carolina. He suffered a knee injury that kept him from playing his senior year of high school, and another knee injury caused him to redshirt his freshman season at Clemson in 2006. "Byron is a big, stud corner that makes hits and tackles and plays very well at the line of scrimmage," Carroll said.
Lazarius Levingston
6-4 | 292 pounds | 7th round (205)
He goes by the nickname "Pep" which was given to him by an uncle because of his nonstop energy. He started the past two seasons at LSU, and while he didn't have any sacks in that time, the Seahawks see him as well-suited to playing the strongside defensive end position, which requires a big-bodied run stuffer like starter Red Bryant.
Malcolm Smith
6-0 | 226 pounds | 7th round (242)
He had an up-and-down college career filled with injuries. He is the younger brother of Steve Smith, the former USC receiver now with the Giants. Extremely fast, he is like a running back at linebacker and Carroll already foresees an immediate role in the Seahawks' nickel defense. "This is one of the best athletes at his position in the draft," Carroll said.
