Speaking on Thursday by videoconference to the President's conference "Facing Tomorrow,"
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that Israel and its Western allies must
"continue the proliferation of freedom" and "stop the proliferation of deadly
weapons." Netanyahu said he was very optimistic about the long-term future, calling our
era the "knowledge century." However, he expressed deep skepticism that what he
dubbed the Arab, Muslim and Iranian world were ready to benefit fully from the
Western notion of freedom and the newest technological discoveries.The
prime minister said that he did not believe a major mature change could occur in
the Arab-Muslim world for "several decades." Although by the end of the century,
Netanyahu was confident that "militant Islam would be defeated" and that even these nations would turn towards democracy and
Western values, he described the central question as being what to do until
then. He said this was a particularly challenging problem, when nations, like
North Korea, have built nuclear weapons, or nations, like Iran, are trying to
build "weapons of mass death."Despite the near term challenges, the prime minister said that Israel was the leading nation in bringing forth new concepts and ideas in relative terms, and one of the leading nations even in absolute terms.Netanyahu also complimented President Shimon Peres on leading a successful confernce. He noted that Peres had received nearly every prize, including the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Nobel Peace Prize, and jokingly remarked that Peres was only missing an Olympic medal.He called Peres a leading advocate of peace who has "dreamed, yearned and worked" for peace.Following immediately after Netanyahu, Foreign Minister
Avigdor Liberman said that the Arab Spring is a "protest again poverty"
and has disproved the leftwing's focus on the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict and the building of Israeli settlements as the sources of the
Middle East's problems.Liberman said that the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict has nothing to do with the revolts and
turmoil taking place in Bahrain, Tunisia, Syria and Egypt.He
also noted that Israel had signed a peace agreement with Jordan despite
continuing to build settlements as proof that peace could be made
without giving up on the settlement enterprise.On the flip side,
the foreign minister stated that attempts to make peace with people who
were not ready had backfired. The major 2005 disengagement from Gaza,
according to Liberman, led to 12,000 rockets being fired on Israel by
Hamas, including a number of rockets today during the conference.Rather
than signing what he called mere pieces of paper about peace, Liberman
stated that Israel should be working with its neighbors on helping them
improve their economies and education systems. According to Liberman,
only after Israel's neighbors were more stable economically and had
vibrant middle classes' could the harder issues in the Arab-Israeli
conflict truly be solved.Peres ended the conference on a different note from Netanyahu and Liberman, calling for disregarding skepticism about what Israel's neighbors were capable of and embracing an enduring innocence and focusing on the dream of what could be possible. Only then, said Peres, could one transform the current circumstances.Peres noted that all major jumps in human history were brought about by such innocence and dreaming, not skepticism.

A simple, easy-to-make, portable board game
My husband and I both love playing games, especially board games. We have a games bookcase that's full of our favorites, but the one we play the most is Go. One of the reasons why we love Go so much is because we made our own game set. We wanted to be able to toss the set in our pockets or my purse and go to coffee shops or the park to play. It was one of the easiest projects we've ever done, and also one of the most useful. Here's how we did it.

Yesterday saw Maybach Music Group ignite the buzz for their third compilation album with three single releases in quick succession, beginning with Rockie Fresh's God Is Great and Wale's Poor Decisions. To round out the trifecta, we present Oil Money Gang, a caked-up selection headed up by label bawse Rick Ross. Here, The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League's inimitably swanky sample work backs Rozay as he boasts of taking his hustle to the next level: "It ain't even being a dope boy, my n**ga / We talking oil money, oil money, yeah." On the back, D-Block veteran Jadakiss adds a little grit to the record's ritzy ambiance. In addition to appearing on Self Made Vol. 3 (due out August 6), this record will be part of of Ross' currently-unscheduled Mastermind LP. Watch our pages for all the latest on both forthcoming projects!

Introducing Kislovodsk
This pleasant spa town, which was entirely closed to cars until the early 1990s, has been a popular destination for Russian holidaymakers since the early 19th century, when the Romantic writer Mikhail Lermontov spent time in its verdant parks and rugged countryside.
The name means 'Sour Waters', but Kislovodsk has a decidedly sweet vibe. Despite the many tourists and the time-worn sanatoriums scattered about, Kislovodsk remains relaxing to the core. The landscape is green, the many gardens well manicured and the air, at nearly 1km above sea level, is crisp.
Pedestrianised Kurortny bul, running north-south from the post office to the Narzan Gallery, is Kislovodsk's main drag and spiritual nerve centre. The train station is just east of Kurortny bul up a smaller pedestrianised street, cobblestoned ul Karla Marksa. Kurortny Park spreads southeast from Narzan Gallery.

Question & Answers
Answer from: fiskers
Its quite simple if you have the mercades slr mclaren beaf it up all the way and use that it should beat him. i beat him by passing him for the ten seconds
Answer from: tredd1995
NO! Although the mclaren does have the fastest top speed in the game the acceleration is very slow and you will have a hard time in the canyon. giet the chevy corvette, autosculpt it with ARASHI front and rear bumpers as well as side skirts, put all areas on the side skirt and rear bumber on 100% but on the front bumper leave area 2 alone and put the rest on 100%. then max out the perfprmance. after that put any 18 inch rim of your choice on it, lower the lift kit to 50%. and put any carbon fiber hood and the airforce spoiler carbon fiber on it. then put indeascent paint on it now vynls so that you save money on other areas. go back to the performance and tune each part in these settings: engine=all horsepower/ transmission=all top speed/suspension=first two on overturn and 3rd in the middle/ nitros(optional to have on stock, if left on stock rival racers in carrer will have no nirtos as well) all volocety/ tires=grip/brakes= first 2 on rear 3rd in middle/ supercharger=1st high, 2nd mid, 3rd low rpm. then when you get this done go back to the main menu and put in the cheat codes for infanent nitros and speed breaker. the top speed on your "vette" will be 250mph(imperial units). and it will accelerate form 0 to 100 in less than a sec. no lie just hold down the nitros button.(which is why you want the endless nitros code enterd) test it out on the highway.

Feb 27, 2012I am so departed from this game's audience, that I fail to understand the target demographic's attraction to what is essentially a mix of 'barbie' and 'whatever soap you choose to make it'. This is one of the few games I cannot be objective about. Nothing struck me as insightful, engaging, entertaining, fun, progressive, or meaningful. I guess it was original for it's time. And that has to count for something. Right?… Expand
Jan 20, 2013The Sims is an iconic piece of gaming history. Though its isometric fake-3D world may not appeal to gamers today, its charm lives on and its playability remains in tact.
Mar 19, 2012What you have here is one of the most addicting games ever made. You have so much freedom and control over everything that it is impossible to get bored of it.
Apr 2, 2012This was the begining of the Best Selling PC game franchise and World Record smasher, The Sims. Im happy with the start and will always be a classic game to remember, even though graphics wasnt good, but ey. It was number one!! :)
Aug 17, 2012Fun at first, but quickly became boring. Beyond sending your sims to work and making sure they don't crap themselves, there is very little to do except expand your house. You don't need a big house for any practical purposes, so to me the game seems kind of... pointless.
Jan 2, 2014The Sims is a revolution in the gaming world. Never before had we could not control the family, build houses, and Organize party. I have to admit that I liked this idea. And although in 2000 arose game with better graphics, it just Sims was not needed. Pleasant to saw on Computer fellows in isometric projection. Cool was also the Simlish language that was incomprehensible mix of several languages. The only thing in this game I did not like is the limited ability to create Sims. Then Sims came only in the world of games so I can forgive them Music listening is really nice. And as for expansions-as opposed to The Sims 3 all expansions for The Sims 1 gave a lot of revolutionary changes and objects. This is a really cool and fun game.… Expand
Apr 21, 2013Very good gameplay, almost innovative for its times. The bad points are the graphics and the performance, since the graphics suck and you still get low FPS on low end PCs (such as PCs of its times). The sound is really boring, except for some tracks. Overall, it's a mediocre game, which could be even better, since the idea was good.
Jul 28, 2013With more interactions this game should have been the game of the year 2000.
Aug 4, 2013Odlična ideja, odlično izvedeno, graditi kuće, sve to fino izgleda....................................................................................
Jul 28, 2014I absolutely hated it. I was so excited for this as it was being developed by Maxis. But, my one and only full night really trying to love this game was a disaster. It was depressing. Get up, barely make it to work. Get home, barely make it to bed. This is already my life. Why on EARTH would I play this? I'll give it a 6 since it had few bugs and the underlying system was well-constructed. But, I really disliked playing this game.… Expand
Oct 26, 2013Very fun and addictive game. Can be quite hard from the beginning, but gets easy after a while. Maxis did a great job on this and this will forever be a classic game. Even in 2013 I still play it sometimes when I'm bored.
Sep 25, 2013So it's been 13 years since this game was released and I've just set up a Metacritic account, I've decided for The Sims to be my first review because I am fairly excited for The Sims 4.
So, what is this game like? Well it is a very difficult life simulation game by Maxis/EA. When I first saw this game, I was awful at it, my Sims kept on starving because I didn't know how to make money, but I still fairly enjoyed it.
I've been playing it recently and although I know I can take care of my Sims by telling them what to do next, they just tend to do what they need to do themselves, besides sleep in the nice comfy bed I placed upstairs.
The enjoyable features of The Sims for me are making the Sims and building the homes in which they live in. Their is the part where you control them but to me it seems a bit tedious and boring and irritatingly difficult without cheating. But the problem is is that the controlling of your Sims is the main part of the game and when your Sims can almost take care of themselves and when the gameplay is almost too difficult and and slightly boring, it takes away most of the fun.
I'm giving this game a 3 out of 10 because as I mentioned previously the Create-a-Sim mode and Buy/Build modes are fun, but the game is about simulating the Sims and I just can't enjoy it enough to like it.… Expand
Feb 3, 2014Story: 7 out of 10, Graphics: 7 out of 10, Fun: 9 out of 10, Controls: 7 out of 10, Ease to Learn: 7 out of 10, Length: 9 out of 10, Re-play: 8 out of 10, Value: 8 out of 10
Jan 13, 2014i remember playing it when it was released, and still dont get it...
mechanics of the game where bad, to say the least(eat, s***, wash, or sleep? cant do it all since it all takes about same ammount of time)
i believe it was a first try for drm crap...ppl could buy stuff like say a lamp for additional money....(real money)
all that aside, and the mechanics (hopefully??) fixed today, its still not more(or less) than an interactive dollhouse.
now, thats fine, and i wont judge ppl who like it, but i guess im just not the right recipent.
its for girls and generally more casual gamers(which is fine, really) so i never got to like it very much....(since im neither nor)
after building my place, i usually quit and had no motivation to look back.
id have loved to see an implementation, a mix if you want, of both the sims and sim city, maybe there were plans for that, but well....its ea....
5/10… Expand
Mar 24, 2014The Sims 1 + all expansions is the best Sims. It's addictive, has infinite replay value, the soundtrack is fantastic, the AI is revolutionary. Just a revolutionary amazing game.
Aug 22, 2014The Sims is a bit fun, but not my kind of thing. There are, however, TONS and I mean TONS of ways to torture your Sims, and their reactions are priceless in fast forward. Wherever you like to be nice to them, and build a society, or just straight up torture them, you'll probably enjoy the game.
Jun 10, 2014Muy importante en la historia del videojuego ya que consiguió, finalmente, acercar a las mujeres de diversas edades a los videojuegos. Pese a que la idea era que les atrajera la parte de la simulación de relaciones humanas, su importancia vino por la posibilidad de diseñar casas e interiores.
Jul 28, 2014The Sims is an incredible simulation that can be played by anyone. It's very fun to create a family and run their lives. There is a lot of customization with creating a person from choosing clothes and a face to selecting their personality. There are a lot of options with making a house and furnishing it, and I find making the house the most fun part. After playing someone's life for a while it can get a little repetitive. They just go to work everyday without much change except promotions here and there to make more money and then you can keeping upgrading your house, but it takes a lot more time to build your house bigger and buy fancier things. The Sims is amazing and it will always be a great game to play for anyone.… Expand
Sep 4, 2014It's magic, it's fun, it's... awesome. It's one of the best games I've ever played. The graphics might be old, but gameplay is incredible. It is and will always be the best game of the series. Period.
Besides bringing out the voyeur inside of me, I've found "The Sims" to be the most addictive and wholly enthralling game I've played in ages.
The game is really fun despite all of the tasks you have to remember.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We feel very fortunate to have picked a neighborhood that feeds into such a wonderful Elementary School such as NLE. The Teachers, Administration and PTO are top notch! I'm a full time single working Mom and wish I could be more involved but feel blessed knowing that my children are getting a great education in such a wonderful environment!
I have never come across a more diverse school and ALL children are treated equally We are a British family and my daughter has good friends at this school from all different nationalities and backgrounds My daughter has loved both her teachers and all staff have been wonderful when we need any information There's a strong parent presence in the school and they do some fun PTO events This is a school for the all the community it serves
Our children's school is amazing, from the front office staff to the teachers and even the custodial crew are invested in making our kids experience the best it can be. A majority of teachers are invested in the teaching our children not just to SOL standards but to standards that will help them transition smoothly into middle and high school. I like the fact my children have exposure to computers, tablets and other technology as well as the traditional learning styles. I would love to see more parents involved in the PTO to learn how much our school does for our kids.
This is a fantastic school with a wonderful Vice Principal and staff. The front office seems to run very smoothly and I absolutely adore the school's nurse - she is so sweet and caring! LOVE HER!!! Newton Lee takes into consideration the safety of the students as a paramount issue - this is something I really appreciate. -Parent of a 4th & a 5th grader
We have 2 kids in Newton Lee and absolutely love the school. We have moved several times in last 5 years and this is the 3rd elementary school for my son, so we know the difference between excellent and mdeiocre schools. As with everywhere, some teachers in Newton Lee are better than others. But overall its a great school with an outstanding Principal and staff. Its amazing to see how solid parent involvement is, diversity is also a plus factor. In case we ever move, we will definitely miss Newton Lee.
Wholeheartedly disagree with the totally subjective post belowl Newton-Lee has quite a diverse population. Why would the staff choose to treat this one person differently? And why would they treat the same person suddenly better when they wanted to enroll their child? This is not a private school. This is not the Ritz. You will not recieve white-glove service at the front desk. They will not receive more money if you enroll your child. In fact, it will only add to the overcrowding situation. Enroll your child somewhere else and leave room for our children who come to school for the excellent education/top-notch staff, extracurricular activities, etc., not the empathy.
Was receieved by the staff with an extremely prejudice "I'm better than you" arrogance, although Newton-Lee has a vast majority of students from different backgrounds. However, when the staff thought I was a parent of a child (on a different occasion) they were extremely friendly and welcoming which really put me off, because I knew it was fake. I am not going to enroll my child into this kind of a school, and have warned my friends from it as well. While the world isn't all one race, gender, nationality, and religion - our children should be taught to be open-minded and accepting of people's differences. From this school, they will simply be taught to be rude/arrogant to diversity, unless it compromises their status. I was astonished by how rude they were before, compared to how friendly they were when they thought I was going to enroll my child in this school. Everyone else's review is solely based on being receieved by the staff as a parent.
Unbelievable school community with a very dedicated staff. Just look at the parking lot before and after school. The lot still has many many staff cars long after the day is over and before it even begins. They are dedicated to providing the very best for the students. My child has benefitted greatly from the team approach and has really blossomed at Newton-Lee. The events are of very high quality, especially the Music programs and their annual field day is always tied to a curriculum theme. There is so much good to say about this school. Its is an excellent learning community! Take a walk down the halls sometime, the displays are just amazing!
Newton-Lee is an amazing school witha wonderful Principal, Administration & Teachers/Staff. They are ALL very dedicated to the best education for all students! We have been very happy with all aspects of NLE. My husband is always impressed with the PTO events and how much school participation there is from students and parents! We love it at Newton-Lee Elementary!
Newton-Lee is a great school! My kids have attended in private schools before and I have to say that we didn't experience any quality issues with this school. We are very pleased and our kids love this school. The teachers and staff are friendly and firm when needed.
What happened to my review? I said nothing that was against the review guidelines. I said that Newton Lee expects a lot from the children and parents. I said that an average student may struggle to keep up if they don t have a lot of support at home. I said that I get frustrated when trying to help my child because so much has changed since I was in school. I agreed with another review here that a staff member in the main office is very rude to both parents and students. I said the PTO is excellent. The majority of the teaching staff and the administration are excellent as well.
My 4th grader has been attending since kindergarten. Each and every year I am amazed with the academic standards and the sincerity of the faculty and staff.
Outstanding Principal and teachers!!! This is a great school and I think the Principal and teachers are consistently doing their best to improve the quality of education delivered to the students.
One of the teachers at Newton-Lee is beyond ruuude, and so is the majority of the office staff. The Principal is friendly, so I am at least pleased with that. However, I am a firm believer that the school staff should be setting a greaat example for our children. After all, little kids look up to adults. If the staff at a school is treating the parents in a rude manner, then I guarantee you that they are treating some of the children in the same way. Don't expect a friendly, nice environment if you are considering to move to this area!
Moving out of the area and the school is the reason I'm sad to leave. It is a very safe and loving place to send you little ones. New Principal that has been a great addition!
Outstanding leadership and teaching staff. Great facilities and PTO.
The teachers, students and parents are all on the same team and together we win! I love this school.
Great teachers! The children are happy to go to school.
It is a high performing school in a great neighborhood.
I love Newton-Lee Elementary School because my nephew attends school and has a great attitude about school, he loves it there.

Anyone watch this? On HBO that I'm sure will be repeated over the next few weeks.
About two mothers whose sons - a 9/yr old and 25/yr old - died from Malaria.
Mary, with 9/yr old planning 6/mos in South Africa when checking with doc what meds/inocs required that when she asked about malaria, the doc replied "not required as it's winter down there.' The other, Martha whose son was heading to Mozambique to teach English, had given his malaria meds to the local children he felt needed them more.
Both contracted the disease and each died within a few days...
We all know there is no inoc against this deadly disease, but until there is.... taking the meds is the best thing, along with sleeping under bednets, using repellent and proper dress from dusk-to-dawn and at first sign of flu-like symptoms get medical care immediately.
So whenever you hear an individual who is planning travel to a malaria area telling you they won't take the meds for whatever reason - "it's not the season, too expensive, tummy upset" - remind them there are more deaths from malaria 'each year', than all the wars since the US has existed.
Mary and Martha - HBO movie?

Who believes American mother and father (with what looks like plenty of education and money) choose NOT to take anti malaria medications, or give to their young son when going into a region with an epidemic?
Report Abuse
I don't find it hard to believe. The adult, well-educated son of a friend went to Brazil without taking the yellow fever shot. He came home and died before being diagnosed.
Report Abuse
In the film, maybe the malaria meds weren't required for where they were staying in SA, but it was when they headed off to Mozambique for a few days, staying in rather rustic housing, with no windows and only nets... that the kid was bitten. And the 25/yr old was working in Mozambique... in rather primative housing, but having given his meds to the kids.
In both, it seems: 'whatever could go wrong did' which is a reminder to all of us that we have to be involved and seriously know what's best and not ignore the possibilities and not think you're a hypo! You're in the danger zone... take care.
I too know and heard of people who have visited areas of Malaria or even Yellow Fever who sadly didn't take the meds, or if they did something went wrong; or didn't have the YF inoc and likewise died... These diseases have to be taken seriously for us travelers, more importantly those who live in in these countries/areas... the little one's especially.
Right now there are trials being done on a inoc that has resulted in about 40% effectiveness, but for sure when the % increases, it should go to locals. But, in the meantime you can donate to Nothing but Nets, where I believe yours will be matched by the Gates Foundation.

Confused by the new ad ranking algorithm in Yahoo's Panama platform? Kevin Lee provides a good illustration in his ClickZ column today, "Panama's Relevance Score Causes Pain and Gain."
As Lee explains, the ranking algorithm is similar to Google's AdRank, in that it comes up with a score by multiplying predicted CTR with bid price. A change in one or the other, measured as a percentage change, will affect the ad's position.
In a case where two ads have equal current bid prices, if one ad's predicted clickthrough rate is 23 percent higher than the second ad's predicted CTR, it would require the second ad to pay a 23 percent higher bid to outperform the first. If that is above the second ad's max bid price, it will drop in the rankings below other ads with higher bid prices or better predicted CTR.
To better align your Yahoo ad campaigns to the new algorithm, Lee suggests taking steps to enhance relevance, such as reorganizing ad groups, reviewing landing pages and bids, and testing new ad creative.

VANS Downtown Showdown Hamburg 2010 - Team Antiz Obstacle
A Skateboarding video by quattro_media - 5,588 views
Vans brought to life the creative concepts of four of the earlier selected skateboard brands and their idea for the ultimate obstacle - each inspired by Hamburg's naughty and nautical past and present. The designs by Cliché, Element Europe, Death Skateboards and Antiz were realised by famous ramp builder Andreas Schützenberger of IOU Ramps and installed on the Reeperbahn to be skated for one day only.
Team Antiz consists of Hugo Liard (FRA), Sam Partaix (FRA), Samu Karvonen (FIN) and Aaron Sweeney (GBR).
When asked about the idea behind the design, Hugo Liard said the following: "There's gonna be a mythical sea monster of gargantuan size in the middle of Hamburg coming from great depths..." It was none other than Guillaume Mocquin from France who tamed the kraken and won the 1st prize accordingly.

Back in September, Minnesota's bachelor governor described some sad Thanksgiving plans.
Just him, his dogs, and a microwave, he said, just like every night. Dayton said with a smile that would make no exceptions for Thanksgiving, "unless someone wants to invite me somewhere, which happens rarely, but we will see."
But Dayton's plans have become a lot warmer.
"I'm having Thanksgiving dinner at the Governor's Residence with an extended family of my sons, Eric and Andrew, and Alida Messinger and her husband Bill and Bill's daughter and two of his grandchildren. So, they'll be nine of us in all," Dayton told the Star Tribune Friday.
Messinger is Dayton's ex-wife and a considerable donor to philanthropic and political causes. She and the governor have remained close since their 1986 divorce.

The Epic Struggle for Wealth, Power, and Civilization
Far more than oil, the control of water wealth throughout history has been pivotal to the rise and fall of great powers, the achievements of civilization, the transformations of society's vital habitats, and the quality of ordinary daily lives. In Water, Steven Solomon offers the first-ever narrative portrait of the power struggles, personalities, and breakthroughs that have shaped humanity from antiquity's earliest civilizations, the Roman Empire, medieval China, and Islam's golden age to Europe's rise, the steam-powered Industrial Revolution, and America's century. Today, freshwater scarcity is one of the twenty-first century's decisive, looming challenges and is driving the new political, economic, and environmental realities across the globe.
As modern society runs short of its most indispensable resource and the planet's renewable water ecosystems grow depleted, an explosive new fault line is dividing humanity into water Haves and Have-nots. Genocides, epidemic diseases, failed states, and civil warfare increasingly emanate from water-starved, overpopulated parts of Africa and Asia. Water famines threaten to ignite new wars in the bone-dry Middle East. Faltering clean water supplies menace the sustainable growth and ability of China and India to feed themselves. Water scarcity is inseparably interrelated to the global crises of energy, food, and climate change. For Western democracies, water represents no less than the new oil—demanding a major rethink of basic domestic and foreign policies—but also offering a momentous opportunity to relaunch wealth and global leadership through exploiting a comparative advantage in freshwater reserves. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Steven Solomon's Water is a groundbreaking account of man's most critical resource in shaping human destinies, from ancient times to our dawning age of water scarcity.less

Two archaeologist's are exploring some ancient ruins when they enter a cave and find two perfectly preserved nude bodies. One of the archaeologists looks at them carefully and states to the other archaeologist, "We've discovered the bodies of Adam and Eve". The other archaeologist replied by saying "You're absolutely correct. We have most assuredly discovered the bodies of Adam and Eve". How could they be so certain they'd discovered the bodies of Adam and Eve?
Spoiler for 2nd thought what if they are test tube babies brought to maturity artificially without the need for umbilical chords and were left here by higher intelligence!<br />

Vereen is a 'brilliant' guy, according to Cal run game coordinator Ron Gould
|05.13.11 at 1:09 pm ET
The latest draft class profile we did was on Cal running back Shane Vereen, who was compared to Marshall Faulk by his position coach while a collegian, Ron Gould. One thing we didn't include in the story was the statement from Gould about just how smart Vereen is.
"The thing that people don't understand is that Shane has a great football IQ," Gould said of Vereen. "He's a brilliant guy ' he graduated from Cal in three-and-a-half years, but he also has a great football IQ . There were things we would discuss, and most guys couldn't tell you the things he can."
Another thing about Vereen ' he and college teammate Jahvid Best had an "unbelievable relationship," according to Gould.
"They're like brothers," Gould said of Vereen and Best, the latter of whom is now with the Detroit Lions. "They both fed off each other and were fierce competitors. There were things that Shane did that Jahvid liked and vice-versa. They tried to one-up each other, but their relationship is second to none. If Shane scored, Jahvid wanted to score twice and vice-versa. They just fed off each other."
The McCourty Twins hang with the 'First Take' crew
|05.12.11 at 2:03 pm ET
Earlier this offseason, it was Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis who sat down to talk football on ESPN's "First Take." On Thursday morning, it was the McCourty twins, New England's Devin and Tennessee's Jason. The two defensive backs talked about their journey to the NFL, as well as several other topics. Check out the video:
Free Agent Snapshot: Manny Lawson
|05.11.11 at 11:59 pm ET
Despite the labor uncertainty, WEEI.com will present a list of 10 possible fits for the Patriots in free agency (under the old Collective Bargaining Agreement) this offseason. For the rest of the players we have profiled as part of this feature, click here.
Manny Lawson
Position: Outside linebacker
Age: 26 (will turn 27 on July 3)
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 240
If the free agency rules of 2010 carry over to 2011, Lawson would be a restricted free agent, which would make it pretty hard to land him. But if there are new rules in effect with a new CBA, Lawson could be one of the more attractive free agents on the market, particularly to the Patriots. He's a smart, heady player who has distinguished himself as one of the better young outside linebackers in the league.
Lawson's sack numbers won't blow you away ' he led the 49ers with 6.5 in 2009, and had just 2.5 last year. But from the midway point of the 2009 season through last year, he was used primarily on first and second downs, which caused a dip in his totals. In addition, he's known as a solid presence against the run. For more evidence, check out this breakdown from the fine folks at Pro Football Focus. Regardless of what you think of their opinion of Tom Brady (and we have heard from many of you on that topic), the PFF guys present a very compelling argument that Lawson is one of the most productive pass rushers in the league.
In a recent ESPN article, Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. weighed in on Lawson, and added a very interesting side note: 'Every time I bring his name up, San Francisco fans are like, 'He is a bust, he is not good.' But the rest of the league wants him. The best might be ahead of him. He is long, fluid. If he went to New England, he might all of a sudden be going to Pro Bowl after Pro Bowl. Not that the San Francisco defense is bad, but you might be careful what you wish for with him leaving town. I don't think he has been a bust.'
Regardless of the rules, San Francisco sounds ready to move on from Lawson, if not this year, than in the not-too-distant future. They took Aldon Smith ' who plays the same position as Lawson ' with the seventh overall pick in the draft. Which could mean that if he's not available as a free agent, the 49ers might entertain the possibility of a trade sooner rather than later.
Why it might not work: As an unrestricted free agent, it would be a long shot. The asking price for Lawson would be too steep. And even if he is available, the contract would come at a hefty price ' Lawson's stock is on the rise seemingly everywhere outside of San Francisco. (The only red flag on that front came last year when he skipped OTA's, reportedly because he was unhappy with his deal.) But at least on paper, the combination of Lawson and the Patriots appears to make a lot of sense.
Ravens' GM Ozzie Newsome says he learned the art of self-scouting from Bill Belichick
|05.11.11 at 4:21 pm ET
While much is made about the success or failure of many of the members of the "Belichick Coaching Tree," one of the most successful men who got his start under Bill Belichick doesn't walk a sideline. Ozzie Newsome, the GM of the Ravens, said he picked up several things while working as a special assignment scout under Belichick in Cleveland, including the art of self-scouting. In a conference call with Baltimore season-ticket holders, he stressed that one of the most important things he learned about the game came as a result of him working with Belichick.
"I was taught, by Bill Belichick, at a very early age that scouting begins on Sunday," said Newsome. "You need to know your football team. The only way you get to know your football team is you've got to be able to watch them at practice, I watch the practice tape, so that's why I do that. That's my niche. But the only way I can do it, I have to trust [director of player personnel] Eric [DeCosta] and [director of college scouting] Joe [Hortiz] and the scouts and their ability to go out and do their job."
Tom Brady ranks second on Forbes' list of most-influential athletes
|05.10.11 at 4:32 pm ET
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the second-most influential athlete in America, according to Forbes. Brady, who trailed only NASCAR's Jimmie Johnson, is one of four football players to crack the Top 10: Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu is sixth overall, Indianapolis' Peyton Manning is seventh and Denver's Tim Tebow is 10th. In addition, Brady is one of two New England athletes on the list ' Shaquille O'Neal is ranked fourth overall.

'¢On the night of the draft, we tracked down Nate Solder's high school coach Bob Marken back in Colorado, who told us the Patriots' first-round pick was the sort of guy "that's easy to root for."
'¢It was more of the same when it came to second-round pick Ras-I Dowling ' Jim Reid, his defensive coordinator at the University of Virginia, talked to us about how versatile Dowling is, calling him "an imposing corner" who can do whatever is asked of him as a defensive back.
'¢Shortly after the selection of Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett in the third round, we examined the curious relationship between the quarterback and Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
'¢Then, there's the story of fifth-round pick, TCU offensive lineman Marcus Cannon ' perhaps the most unique draft pick in the history of the franchise.
'¢Fifth-round pick Lee Smith out of Marshall ' whose position coach Phil Ratliff was a college teammate of Troy Brown ' talked to us about how Smith was a "throwback" in every sense of the word, and believes he will make his mark in an already crowded tight end field in New England. (Our favorite quote that didn't make it into the story? Ratliff praised the 6-foot-6, 266-pound Smith as a workout warrior, saying, "He's the first guy you want off the bus, that's for sure.")
'¢And with lots of help from Central Arkansas defensive coordinator Matt Williamson, we tracked the evolution of sixth-round pick Markell Carter from part-time player at UCA to one of the better under-the-radar pass rushers in college football.
Whew. Like we said, there are more to come, but we'll leave it at that for now.
Report: BC's Mark Herzlich will forgo UFL for shot at NFL
|05.09.11 at 1:41 pm ET
Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich will bypass an opportunity to play in the United Football League for a chance to sign as an undrafted free agent in the NFL. According to Peter King of Sports Illustrated, Herzlich tweeted him on Sunday that he would not join the UFL's Omaha Nighthawks (who took him 51st overall in the UFL draft last week), but instead take his chances with the NFL and hope that the lockout ends sooner rather than later.
Herzlich, the 2008 ACC Defensive Player of the Year, was not selected in last month's NFL draft. Despite that, his story remains an inspiration to many, as he overcame Ewing's sarcoma in his left leg ' he had a titanium rod placed in the leg ' and returned to play for BC in 2010. However, by his own admission, he wasn't the same player he was before he was forced to sit out a year, which likely caused the draft weekend slide.
