Bruce Weber's Liberty City Is Like Paris to Me Debuts on Sundance Channel This Month
Categories: Culture
via Sundance Channel |
He's already shown his love for the town by shooting a special edition of L'Uomo Vogue here and bringing the streets of Overtown to the pages of Anna Wintour's ultra-posh American Vogue. But not all of his work is meant to sell pricey attire. He once was responsible for a moving collection of images that captured the story of Haitian immigrants. As a filmmaker, he has directed the Academy Award-nominated documentary Let's Get Lost.
Later this month, the Sundance Channel will premiere his latest short film, Liberty City Is Like Paris to Me. Shot in the neighborhood during Inauguration Day, the film premieres August 27 at midnight on Sundance as part of Bruce Weber Month. The film will also be available online.

NFF: Christmas baby a blessing, but…
SUNBURY — Christina Yordy is looking forward to expanding her family. Along with her two daughters, ages 10 and 2, Yordy is pregnant with another child, due on Christmas day. While she is a loving mother, she understands the amount of pressure a third child is putting on her family financially. She has decided to accept Salvation Army's offer for help.
Christina and her husband just purchased a new home to house their growing family. She said, "Things are pretty tight with the new one coming, the new house, bills and loans and things." While they don't have a lot, they do try to give back to the community in volunteer efforts. Yordy and her oldest daughter helped their church to send things to New York after Hurricane Sandy.
She said her children are content with what they have, but she wants to give them a good Christmas. She said, "I'm happy the Needy Family Fund is here, because they are a blessing to help families that truly need it. They can help young children to understand the true meaning of Christmas."
You can help this family and many others but please considering a generous contribution to the Needy Family Fund.
Each year, The Daily Item, the Salvation Army of Milton and Sunbury, Susquehanna Bank and the radio stations of Sunbury Broadcasting Corporation team up to raise money for families in need.
Salvation Army distributes toys, food, clothing, and gifts to eligible families. You are asked to please consider a generous contribution to the Needy Family Fund. Donations can be dropped off at any branch of the Susquehanna Bank. More details are posted at www.wkok.com.

2011 JURIST Academy Program Closes With Unique Opportunities
Web Editor
- Published: June 15, 2011
"I don't think there's a challenge I can't handle. That's what law school does for you," said Widener Law Harrisburg graduate Vincent L. Champion '01, an associate at Rhoads & Sinon LLP, as he spoke to participants in the 2011 Harrisburg JURIST Academy program at a special lunch forum on Thursday, June 9th.
Mr. Champion's visit offered one example of the unique opportunities JURIST Academy students on both the Delaware and Harrisburg campuses enjoyed to engage with practicing attorneys and legal professionals.
On Tuesday, June 7th, Harrisburg Mayor Linda D. Thompson spoke to the Harrisburg students on "Lawyers & Civic Engagement," and she presented a proclamation acknowledging the role of the JURIST Academy in diversifying the legal profession. The next day, the students traveled to the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas in the morning, and they visited the chambers of Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas Judge Janine Turgeon in the afternoon.
Delaware JURIST Academy students were treated to a special visit to the Wilmington offices of Richards Layton and Finger on Wednesday, June 1st, and they also had the opportunity to practice oral advocacy with lawyers from Skadden Arps Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP on Thursday June 2nd before giving oral presentation to lawyers from the firm a week later. Additionally, they enjoyed a lunch panel with representatives from the Multicultural Judges and Lawyers Section of the Delaware State Bar. On Wednesday the 8th, they attended a panel discussion on Public Interest Law with Mary Jacobsen of the Mid Atlantic Environmental Law Center and Craig R. Fitzgerald, a child advocate from the Delaware Department of Justice.
Widener Law once again thanks all of the generous sponsors that made the 2011 Jurist Academy such a success.

Amber's Raw Plant Based Vegan Snacks, Made From Locally-Sourced Veggies
The joys of the fall seasonal green markets -- even the best of the full-time, year-round markets -- are upon us once again. It's a chance to sample the best foods, fruits and vegetables fresh from harvest. Or try a new treat by South Florida's very own local artisanal chefs.Amber's Raw Plant Based Organic Food Amber Fitzgerald with her husband at the Boca West Green Market.
That includes newcomer Amber Fitzgerald, creator of Amber's Raw Plant Based Organic Food out of Delray Beach. Fitzgerald began selling her hand-made raw vegan snacks, kombucha, salads and lunches at the Boca Raton West Green Market just a few months ago and has already earned herself a reputation for making some of the best kale chips you'll ever sample.
A vegan, Fitzgerald has been a life-long healthy eater. Originally from Gainesville, she grew up eating stuff most kids would turn their nose up at -- dehydrated vegetable snacks and raw, sprouted breads and crackers. You know, the type of food you probably didn't get a chance to try when you were younger.
"I always thought it was weird when my mother would make it, even though I ate it and enjoyed it," Fitzgerald told Clean Plate Charlie during a recent interview. "But now I know how lucky I was, and I'm so thankful."
Each of Amber's Raw Plant Based Organic Food items are made using locally-sourced vegetables, everything from her spirulina superfood "balls" to the healthy, nutrient-packed salads and entrees she sells from her stand at the green market priced $3 to $12. To stay true to the all-organic mantra she promotes, nuts and seeds are ordered through a distributor that pedals only raw, unpasteurized and organic goods.
Fitzgerald's favorite spot to score groceries isn't as close as you would think, however. She loves to travel north to The White Rabbit Organic Farm in Vero Beach. It's where she'll get fresh spirulina to make her spirulina superfood snacks, tiny balls of liquid spirulina, hemp seeds and wild harvested bee pollen rolled in sesame seeds.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Pablo Picasso wore sandals from this century-old Parisian leather house, which opened its Cannes location in 2007. The sandals are still done in the trademark Venezia leatheroil-tanned and infused with spectacular color and patina that looks like it came straight from an old oil painting. The shop also carries briefcases as well as loafers and oxfords, for when you have to go back to the boardroom. The staff is thoroughly knowledgeable and eager to please, but be sure to walk in with a thick wallet: Sandals start at about $850 and shoes at about $1,275.

Born | Liesel Anne Pritzker March 14, 1984 Chicago, Illinois, US |
Liesel Pritzker Simmons | |
Born | Liesel Anne Pritzker March 14, 1984 Chicago, Illinois, US |
Liesel Anne Pritzker (born March 14, 1984), stage name Liesel Matthews, is an American former child actress and heiress to the Hyatt Hotels fortune. She starred as Sara Crewe in A Little Princess, a 1995 film adaptation of the Frances Hodgson Burnett classic, and played the US President's daughter in Air Force One.
Contents |
For her roles on stage and screen, Liesel Pritzker uses the stage name "Liesel Matthews," first to honor her brother Matthew and second, to avoid conflict between her divorced parents about whether she should incorporate her stepfather's name and be known as Liesel Pritzker-Bagley.[1]
Pritzker made her professional stage debut as Scout in a production of To Kill A Mockingbird in Chicago. She was also seen in Vincent in Brixton, and won a Theatre World award for her performance.
Liesel Anne Pritzker was born in Chicago, Illinois, into the wealthy Pritzker family, of Ukrainian Jewish origin on her father's side. Her parents are Irene (née Dryburgh) and Robert Pritzker.[2] She was named after the Sound of Music character Liesel von Trapp, the eldest daughter of the seven von Trapp children.[citation needed] She is one of twelve surviving grandchildren of patriarch A. N. Pritzker, a financier and industrialist who died in 1986. Her uncle, Jay Pritzker, is the founder of the Hyatt Hotel chain, and owned Braniff Airlines from 1983-1988. The family controls the TransUnion Credit Bureau and the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.[3][4] The Pritzker family has been near the top of Forbes magazine's "America's Richest Families" list since the list began in 1982.
She married Ian Simmons and lives in New York City.[5]
Pritzker graduated from New Trier High School outside of Chicago and enrolled at Columbia University.
In 2002, Pritzker, then an undergrad at Columbia University, filed a U.S. $6 billion lawsuit against her father and 11 older cousins claiming they had misappropriated money from trusts established for her and her brother Matthew Pritzker. In early 2005, the parties settled the lawsuit, which followed another suit that began the process of splitting the family fortune 11 ways, resulting in 10 more Pritzkers joining the Forbes 400; the most members of any family.[6] Under the settlement, Liesel and Matthew each received roughly U.S. $280 million in cash and were given more control over other trusts valued at about U.S. $170 million each.[4]
Liesel Pritzker is the founder of Young Ambassadors for Opportunity (YAO), a network of young professionals who aim to inspire, educate and involve others in microfinance and the work of Opportunity International. In June 2009, she donated $4 million to Opportunity International to help expand microfinance services in Africa.[7]

Ten Miami Restaurants We're Looking Forward to in 2014
A fresh, new year is upon us. Time to make resolutions and plans. It's also a good time to anticipate new restaurants about to open in Miami. And there are a bunch of them. From food trucks continuing to go brick-and-mortar like Latin Burger & Taco, to celebrity chefs staking their claim under our sunny skies (Fabio Viviani, Tom Collichio, and Morimoto are all slated to open restaurants here), there's much to look forward to in the food scene.Hector Torres Jose Mendin is ready to tackle French fare with L'Echon Brasserie.
Here are the restaurants -- both big and small -- that we're most looking forward to in 2014.
See also: Top 15 Restaurants Reviewed in 2013
10. Ikea
Laugh all you want, but we're looking forward to eating mass quantities of Swedish meatballs, lingonberry preserves, and smoked salmon before marching our sated selves over to the kitchen wares department and stocking up on cheap housewares with funny names like a ladle named "sploofa" and a colander called "bork."
9. John's Tacos
John O'Connell, the man behind the taco, started his business sharing space with Josh's Deli in Surfside, making tacos at night after Joshua Marcus closed shop for the day. Now, O'Connell is moving into his own space in Wynwood, an area filled with people searching for a quality nosh after a night of gallery hopping or bar crawling.
8. Kush
When Lokal opened in Coconut Grove, owner Matt Kuscher had a simple game plan: serve craft beer, clean burgers, and local produce. In a town known for being fickle with its restaurants, Lokal became a neighborhood favorite. Now, Kuscher is expanding on his beer selection and firming up his food menu at Kush, a new endeavor opening in Wynwood. With Kush, Wynwood gets a new place to eat good on the cheap and cements its newfound identity as the beer-meets-art capital of Miami.
7. Ralph Pagano's Mexican Restaurant
Quick-talking celebrity chef Ralph Pagano is coming to the Dream South Beach Hotel with a Mexican concept, based on his favorite Baja cuisine. The chef tells us to expect reasonably-priced food, perfect for après-beach like tacos and huevos ranchero -- all under $20. Pagano also promises tequila infusions with flavors like coffee and honey-rosemary. If Pagano's in the kitchen, it's a safe bet the food will be delicious and the atmosphere lively.
6. NaiYaRa Asian Street Fare
Chef Bee of Oishi Thai and formerly of Khong River House is opening NaiYaRa in South Beach sometime in the fall, sharing the Thai street food he loves so much. The 200-seat restaurant will transform into a lounge at night, complete with DJ and offerings of Asian small plates.

FHSU beats Newman
Published on -4/3/2014, 10:20 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By The Hays Daily News
WICHITA -- For the first time this season, the Fort Hays State University baseball team has a three-game winning streak.
The Tigers, in their first of a 10-game road swing, took out Newman University, 10-6, in a weather-shortened, eight-inning contest.
The win moved the Tigers to 10-18 overall. Newman dropped to 14-15.
FHSU scored three runs in the first inning on three Newman errors to take the early lead, but Newman battled back to eventually tie it at four.
James Denton had a two-out RBI double in the sixth to put FHSU back on top for good. Nathan Zimmerman started, but pitched just one inning, followed by Drew Martineau, who went three innings.
Ty Thomas pitched the fifth and sixth to pick up the victory, and move to 1-0. Thomas allowed two earned runs on three Newman hits with three strikeouts and no walks. Gus Strunk worked around one earned run through the seventh and eighth to help the win.
Cooper Langley finished 3 for 4 for the Tigers with an RBI. Gabe Cook was 3 for 5 with a run scored and two driven in. Horace Johnson also drove in a pair of runs, both on outs. Clayton Garland was 3 for 4 and scored three runs.
Starter Ryan Skoubo (1-2) took the loss for the Jets.
The Tigers continue the road swing with a 3 p.m. single game today at University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Okla.

Instagramers around the world are dealing with the rise of spamming on Instagram. The photo sharing app that was once a small community of iPhoneographers quickly grew…and grew and grew. With the growth of of the app, came the expansion to additional smartphone users and the buyout by Facebook. Along each milestone, Instagramers who have been utilizing the app from the get go have felt the pain with each step into the future. What exactly are users experiencing that is so painful? Spamming. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way blaming the spam on the influx of additional smartphone users. It is simply due to the rise in popularity of the app.
SpamBots seem to be invading Instagram with a force that is driving users to a land far, far away. Those who once enjoyed sharing their images are now being attacked by SpamBots. Personally, I have been seeking out smaller photo sharing apps. A current favorite of mine is Starmatic. Why do I like it? Because it reminds me of the old Instagram. I've found a lovely variety of photographers posting beautiful images and there is no spam. I know many others have sought refuge in Tadaa and Streamzoo, just to name a few. Will SpamBots drive Instagram into the ground? I doubt it. Will it lose a few frustrated users? Yes, I believe so.
The Downfall
- Accounts are being hacked
- Endless spamming comments are being left under images
- Legitimate accounts are being deleted
- Scammers posting spam links (Best Buy)
- Fake followers
With each of these instances, Instagram users are becoming increasingly disgruntled, and in many instances, leaving the photo sharing app for good. I've seen it with my own eyes. Accounts that were hacked and recreated by a SpamBot posting the images as their own. Below is a prime example. The account @GNICHOST7ET is a fake account. It has a stolen user image and stolen photographs from a legitimate Instragram user. What can you do? What can he do? Report and block the account.
I'm sure you have experienced the spam in the comments thread under your image. Not only is it annoying, but it seems endless. Within seconds of posting and tagging your photo; comments pop up inviting you to participate in an array of spamming activities. If you tag your photo to any of the popular hashtags used by many, you are likely to end up with a handful of comments inviting you to receive a free iPad or be in a movie production, as seen below. Is there a relation to tagging your photo and the occurrence of the spam comments? Should users stop tagging their images?
Best Buy is one of the most popular scam links that I have seen. The offer advertises a free $100 gift card to Instagram users. When the link is clicked, the user is prompted to enter information including their cell phone number. When a cell phone number is given, users are often being scammed into a subscribing to a service that will eventually show up on your next bill. With the increase of youngsters using Instagram, I worry about the kids falling in to these scam traps. Being enticed by the lure of something free and "too good to be true" can be extremely tempting. If you have kids on Instagram be sure that you take the time to talk to them about spam and scam.
Fake followers are still running rampant, although I feel there has been a slight decrease in this activity. Check your followings and look for "more_followers_here" or "more_likes_here" as the user name. These accounts generally post a comment informing you how to get more likes. As you find the accounts, delete and report.
What You Can Do
- Report spam comments that are posted on your thread
- Report and block accounts that are sending out spam
- Notify Instagram via Twitter, Facebook, and ironically, Instagram
- Don't click on any links advertising free iPads or gift cards
- Contact Jessica Zollman, Instagram's person in charge of Social Media Management and community matters (@jayzombie on Twitter and Instagram)
Instagram is trying to fight back. Unfortunately, as a result, legitimate accounts are being deleted. How is this happening? It has been thought that while Instagram is trying to fight the war on spam links, they are unknowingly deleting accounts of legitimate users who post a link with their image or in their comments. Imagine if you went to post an image and found that your account was deleted? For many photographers, this has been a devastating problem. For now, I would recommend that you do not post any links in your comments thread.

Also known as: letter of intent to bid, letter of intent to submit a proposal, letter of interest, letter for expression of interest to bid, proof of intent letter, or expression of interest letter.
A letter of intent is basically a written statement expressing the sender's intention, should certain circumstances arise, to take or forgo some action, like entering into a future agreement with the recipient, or, more generally, carrying out business activities mentioned in the letter of intent.
In the solicitation and selection context, the letter of intent tells the company issuing the Request for Proposal (RFP) that you are interested not only in submitting a proposal in response, but also in receiving all RFP updates and modifications. It's also referred as a letter of intent to bid or a letter of intent to submit a proposal.
The letter of intent is essentially a legally worthless document. A letter of intent is neither an offer or a contract. Thus, it doesn't oblige its writer and, consequently, cannot be enforced. Although the letter of intent is not, by essence, a binding document, we may often find at the bottom or, even worse, in the body of the letter of intent a paragraph stating and reinforcing the non-binding character of the letter of intent. This mention is usually inserted under the pressure of a legal attorney, or any legal advisor or department considering the letter of intent as a binding document, and not as a mere agreement to agree in the future, unless a mention states the contrary.
"In order to be a valid and enforceable agreement, a document must contain certain essential legal provisions and must not leave either undecided or to be determined at some time in the future any aspect of such essential legal provisions. If these essential elements are not present, then the document is not a binding one and is often referred to by courts as an agreement to agree or a letter of intent, both of which are not enforceable as contracts. (...) Thus, the letter of intent is essentially a legally worthless document."

POGO Urges OSTP to Ensure that Agency Scientific Integrity Plans Include Contractors and Grantees
POGO is pleased to see that most federal departments and agencies have finally made public their draft or final scientific integrity plans in response to President Obama's March 2009 Memorandum on Scientific Integrity. However, POGO is concerned that several agencies have not included contractors or grantees in their plans. The failure to ensure the integrity of science performed outside the government but funded with taxpayer dollars is particularly troubling given that some of these departments or agencies—such as the Department of Energy (DOE)—rely heavily or nearly entirely on contractors and grantees for scientific research. .
14 Federal Agencies Fail to Fulfill the President's Directive: Billions in Taxpayer-Funded Science Not Included in Integrity Plans and Policies
The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Food and Drug Administration were two of 14 federal agencies that failed to set proper scientific standards for contract and grantee researchers, despite the fact that tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer money funds this science each year, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) said in a letter sent today to the Obama administration..
POGO Supports DoD Effort to Redefine Commercial Items
The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) urges you to support the Department of Defense's (DoD) legislative proposal for the National Defense Authorization Act that will result in improved oversight of billions of dollars' worth of so-called "commercial" goods and services..
POGO Supports Proposed Defense Contractor Crime Reporting Rule
The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks input on a proposal to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to expand coverage on contractor requirements and responsibilities with regard to the reporting of crimes committed by or against contractor personnel. .
POGO's Response to Professional Services Council Letter Regarding Reducing Civilian Workforce
Senators and Representatives recently received a letter from the Professional Services Council (PSC) responding to their letters to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, in they criticized the Department of Defense's (DoD) efficiency initiative, which aims to reduce costs by scaling back the civilian workforce to 2010 levels rather than compliance with mandates to reduce reliance upon contractors. We would like to offer some perspective on a number of points raised in the PSC letter..
POGO and Partners Strongly Support Passage of the DATA Act
We, the undersigned organizations, are writing in strong support of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act), H.R. 2146, which is planned for a floor vote this Wednesday. The DATA Act is an important step towards improving federal financial transparency and would empower the public to better understand how their federal dollars are being spent. .
A Test Case on Sanctions?
If there's one thing most Americans support in foreign policy, it's sanctions against Iran to halt its alleged drive for nuclear weapons. From President Obama to Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich, leading candidates all want to put the economic squeeze on Tehran and to signal their support for Israel. President Obama recently announced he will ratchet up sanctions on the country's oil exports and declared a "national emergency" to deal with the Islamic Republic. The Senate will try to iron out its differences over anti-Iran measures in coming weeks, as bus stations around Washington, DC, are studded with advertisements questioning the President's resolve on the issue..
U.S. Wasting Billions on Over-Priced Service Contracts; Government Lacks Data to Make Informed Contracting Decisions, POGO Tells Congressional Subcommittee
The federal government more than doubled its spending on service contracts over the last decade, despite having inaccurate data on the "true" cost of those contracts—largely because of the misguided notion that outsourcing is more cost effective than using federal workers, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) told a Senate subcommittee today..
POGO's Scott Amey testimony on "Contractors: How Much Are They Costing the Government?"
I want to thank Chairman McCaskill, Ranking Member Portman, and the Subcommittee for asking the Project On Government Oversight (POGO to submit written testimony about the important, but often ignored, issue of service contracting costs. Although there are many initiatives in place to cut federal agency spending and reduce the costs associated with the federal workforce, the cost of contractor services has escaped scrutiny. Such avoidance is extremely disturbing because the government annually spends more taxpayer dollars on contractor services than it spends on goods, over $320 billion and $210 billion in FY 2011, respectively. To put that level of spending in perspective, total contract spending was $205 billion in FY 2000, of which services accounted for $128 billion of the total..

I continue to live in parallel universe
Where apparently roses bloom in Illinois in March.
I just went outside & walked the grounds here at work--which are gorgeous already--and their unpruned Home Run shrubs are blooming. UN. REAL.
I don't know when I got transported to this parallel universe, but I'm really liking it.
Me? I'm too new to testify....lol. In the 8 or so years that I've been garden-obsessed, no. But for the other 30+ years of my life, I can't say that I noticed.
I'd say that as a wide generalization, I have blooms on my 1 OGR on Mother's day, and the other modern roses come about 2 weeks later. So no--I think even April would be unusual.
All of the knockouts have flowers opened here already. This is about 5 weeks early as I typically see my first flowers in the first 1-2 weeks of May. The Austins are budded out and showing color but not yet in full flower--I expect Chris Marlowe to open flowers in the next several days.
It does feel like living in a parallel universe to go outside where it feels almost like we skipped spring and are right along to summer. 86F temps predicted on Sunday! Pickering is sending my bare-roots this week (hopefully they are there when I get home) and it would usually be on the early side but feels way too late this year. I spoke with the other vendors (Heirloom/RU) and they are sending potted so it will be okay--they said everyone is really confused this year as to timing because it is way off of the norm.
Well, you folks are ahead of my warm zone 9 garden this year! It has been COLD here lately, even worse than January and February, when I did lots of work in the garden. We are ready to burst forth if it only warms up here. Usually our first blooms come the second week of April.
Sounds like we are in a different universe, too.
You Midwesterners are really irritating me. For the second year we are having a cool, wet spring that seems more like western Oregon than our desert. I can't get my bareroots planted, and it will be weeks before any roses bloom. What on earth is happening? Have the states done a musical chairs switch in geography--something out of the Twilight Zone, maybe? Well, Twilight Zone (I mean the rose) just arrived yesterday, quite appropriately. So maybe that is what is causing some giant hex in the universe. Diane
We were just commenting, as we sat outside at a restaurant having dinner last night...in March...that it was as we are living in Northern CA at the moment.
I'm used to it being muddy, wet and cold when I go out to plant the bare-roots, but this is like mid-May easily, with everything in full leaf and bud out there. I think I'd better get the drip watering system going with a high of 91F on Monday. That is usually a job for June, once all of the new ones are going well. At the moment I'm hilling up the new bareroots with topsoil and wonder if I should also protect the exposed tops from dessication for a few days with clear plastic bags or something.
yeah, well it is back to normal for us in the UK. -2C tonight, and bloody cold easterly winds. As usual though, the insanely optimistic have been planting tomatoes on the allotment plots, forgetting that it is still only March. Mostly toast already (read a book or at least the labels, for heaven's sakes). Yep, I know all the bulbs have been really off the wall this year.....but the rose, even though they are leafing out like mad, look as though they are not going to be fooled by a couple of weeks of June sunshine (unlike the sudden rash of exposed and pallid flesh on show, all over town) We have a term, here in the UK for bulging wads of tummy, squeezing out above too tight trousers - 'muffintops' - enough to put me off baked goods forever.
haha, we call them muffintops here too, and the human version is enough to make one give up the baked goods version indeed!
Boy, does it seem strange to be planting bare roots in a garden that is already in full leaf with temps in the mid-80s. I hilled the new plants up with soil a bit and have just put clear bags over the canes for this first couple of days to prevent dessication. I recall taking this approach once when a grower shipped me bare roots in late April and we had a hot spell. Here I was worrying all spring about roses springing into action and then freezing and now I'm worrying about new plants frying. I really hope there is some temperate weather between now and June.
no wonder I'm so cold and moss-covered. check this out ...
Here is a link that might be useful: nasa earth observatory map
Thanks for the advice Michael--Wilt-Pruf is a very good idea. Today and tomorrow feel like an immediate leap into summer (upper 80s-low 90s) then back to 60s and 70s later in the week. I did Wilt-Pruf new roses once, years ago, when it was warm after planting. But most years there is a long cool stretch afterward and you can just water them well and leave them be.
The new ones appear to be immediately putting out leaves from the little red stumps of new growth they had when they arrived from Pickering. I had bags on yesterday but think I can take them off today. Wilt-pruf it is, and then to get the drip watering system additions made to account for the new plants and to get the timer set up...something I wouldn't usually do until late May, but I think I'll be needing to give them all a drink between now and then, the way this is going.
Lol, as far as I'm concerned, Flaurabunda, I would love to continue living in this parallel universe. Sure don't recall the weather ever being this warm so early here in Spokane...I could easily get used to this! :)
And, Harbor Rose, thanks for the NASA Earth Observatory map link! :)
Things have cooled down considerably around here now and the roses have slowed down too. I did get a little frost bite on some leaves this week but nothing serious. The rest of this week looks to be about normal for highs and lows at this time of year. Personally I wouldn't at all mind those warmer days!
Look at mine; blooming today in Kansas. Hard to believe and at least three weeks earlier than ever.
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Musings blog on roses blooming.
Well, it was another gorgeous weekend on "Planet X". I went out snooping, and nearly everything has buds. They are so cute & tiny right now!
I usually don't have a nice tan until June; I remember 4 years ago when I was working at a local swimming pool that we were unable to open on Memorial Day because it was too cold.
Well, hopefully this means a lack of pallid flesh running amok.
Here on the Central coast of CA I don't usually get blooms till mid April, so you got me beat. One rather unusual thing this year was that Duchesse de Brabant never went dormant and bloomed all winter long. We did have a rather mild winter.

He and his wife Judy also own and direct operations of their carpet and upholstery cleaning business, Nalley Steam Way LLC, in Jackson. After cleaning carpets with his father, Jim Nalley, since 1968, he purchased the business in 1980. Judy brought her administrative talents to the business when they married in 1990. David is certified with the IICRC (an early certification number of #920) and is a Master of Textiles, Master of Restoration, Master of Fire and Smoke Restoration, plus has 12 other certifications. He is one of the original members of Steam Way's "True Blue Training Crew". His first association with Steam Way was in 1968 when Clark G. Seabloom owned it and his father, Jim Nalley, was one of the first distributors. At age 16 David began training new business owners in carpet cleaning who bought their machines from his father. Today, his business utilizes eight Steam Way Legacy 2100's: six are in vans, one is permanently installed in his rug cleaning plant, and one is a backup unit. The 2100's have been excellent investments with some of the machines having given him over 6000 hours of reliable service.

A community of chimpanzees at Mt. Assirik in south-eastern Senegal subsists in a hot, dry and open environment. This wide-ranging, savanna-living group provides an opportunity for comparisons of social organization with other population elsewhere in Africa living in forest and woodland. The group numbered about 28 over the four-year study, and its composition by age and sex was typical. The average size of parties (i.e., temporary sub-groups) did not differ from other populations. However, a high proportion of the group tended to remain together in such parties. The composition of parties resembled that found elsewhere, but some differences emerged between the wet and dry seasons. Larger, mixed parties containing adult males were much more common in open, non-forested habitats than were solitary individuals or parties without adult males. Large parties tended to form for travelling, especially for rapid movement over long distances. Such aspects of social organization seem unlikely to be related to the availability of food in any simple way. Instead, they seem to be adaptations to threat from predators and patchily distributed food, water and nesting sites. This results in occasional bivouacs and mass-migrations from one part of the home-range to another, especially in the dry season.

Shojo Beat Ending
Posted in Manga News on May 19, 2009 by JohannaAccording to this magazine distributor, Viz's girl-targeted manga anthology Shojo Beat is "ceasing publication with the July 2009 issue." Subscribers will be switched to the male-focused Shonen Jump, which will probably not be satisfactory, since the only thing the two have in common are format and publisher; the content is very different.
Currently, subscription links at the Shojo Beat site return "Page not found". Viz has not yet confirmed.
Update: David Welsh at the Comics Reporter has a statement from Viz confirming that the July 2009 issue (on newsstands June 16) will be the last.
… unfortunately in today's difficult economic climate we felt the need to place our resources elsewhere at this time. Of course all of our great shojo manga titles previously serialized in Shojo Beat magazine will still be published and available as graphic novels under the Shojo Beat imprint from VIZ Media.
Shojo Beat subscribers will get a copy of the August issue of Shonen Jump with information on "subscription/refund options".

[…] Oh man, this rumor sucks –  Shojo Beat Ending » Comics Worth Reading. […]
Oh, first was Anime Insider and now Shojo Beat. What's comin' next? The end of Tokyopop, VIZ or Dark Horse?
Out of those three, I would guess Tokyopop, but it's apples and oranges. Magazine publishing is in much worse shape than book or graphic novel publishing. (Note that Tokyopop's Manga magazine appears to have disappeared without notice, although it was nothing but ads.) With Shojo Beat, perhaps Viz thinks they don't lose much going straight to book collections?
These things make that manga and alternative graphic novel offer decreases. Bad times are coming soon?
- Mark E
05/19/2009 at 7:22 PMTokyopop kinda dug their own grave, in my opinion. I've never seen a company make so many glaringly obvious to everybody but them business decisions.
And I supported books like Beck and Kindaichi to the bitter, bitter end, even when I knew they weren't putting out any more volumes.
I can't imagine anybody buying magazine issues over tankabon, myself, so I guess I don't see the doom 'n gloom in magazines folding.
I mean, why would I buy something with several stories of which I might like a couple when I can get a thick volume for slightly more that has a pile of material from a favorite series?
I got the first three issues of Shojo Beat but stopped due to economic factors. Plus, as Mark said, it's much easier to read as a trade, which is what I'm doing with almost all my comics now.
Still, it's always sad news when something like this happens.
Seems to me that the series found in Shojo Beat are nowhere near as popular (male and female readers alike) as Viz's Shonen Jump. A tough but needed decision on Viz's part…
What? that sucks. I was wondering what was up when they didn't have a *continued in the next volume* thing. Well at least the series aren't stopping…..

01/06/2010 at 3:08 PMWhy do you have to do that? You have some much I love that I don't get to do in the world. Like you tell about Japan and stuff like that. I love it that you send it up here in Canada.

01/06/2010 at 3:13 PMIt sucks that Beat has stopped. Unfortunatly though I'm still trying to find the new volumes forms of all the storys cept for vampire knight and honey hunt (on haiatus).

01/06/2010 at 3:14 PMHey it sucks. But we will find a way to.
[…] I got a chance to look at the January 2011 Shonen Jump, their relaunch issue, and if you like boys' adventure manga, this is packed chock-full. It's 360 pages for $5, as the cover helpfully points out, most of which is manga to read. I'm impressed that they include chapters of the biggest shonen titles out there: Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh. It makes me a bit jealous, actually, for not having a similar shojo publication, but we know what happened to that. […]
I love their books most if all i love Godchild!

Videora iPod touch Converter User Reviews

"Watch out for malware"
Version: Videora iPod touch Converter 4.04
Don't know, didn't use it.
Watch out for StartupNow toolbar installation. CPU hog.
"Does exactly what I need."
Version: Videora iPod touch Converter 4.04
Videora successfully converted my video so that I could finally sync it to my iPod Touch 4th Gen. It converted quickly and easily, with no complicated steps or technical jargon.
The program wasn't able to add the video to my iTunes automatically, but that doesn't even matter if you ask me.
For a free program, Videora is quick, simple, and to-the-point. No necessary hoopla. I would recommend it.
"Is bundled with OpenCandy"
Version: Videora iPod touch Converter 4.04
I do not know, I can't install it.
When I tried to install, I received a warning that win32 OpenCandy was bundled with the installation.
OpenCandy is an adware installer that you can not opt out of nor will the program work with out it. It will force advertisements and pop ups on you if you have the program installed.
I am not sure when OpenCandy was installed due to the fact that the last update was November of 2008.
It is a shame because the reviews state that this is a good program. However the developers got greedy and bundled adware to their program. -
"Works adequately...free programs dont get much better."
Version: Videora iPod touch Converter 4.04
-easy use and custom use for tech savvy
-makers of videora actaully update
-reliable, very easy download and installation
-bonus youtube downloader is niceCons
-sometimes converts A/V out of sync
-sometimes, or actually the majority of the time creates moments of frames wrong(really white and bright, unconsistent with the rest of the video file)Summary
overall very good converter.. doesnt get much better than this, for your ipod. people say the software is a little slow? the software is not the problem... actually its your processor, im running different computers at different times... right now(intel core duo, 4 GB RAM)... converts an entire movie in 30 minutes or less...so basically Videora is not the problem... there are things the software creator/s can work on but honestly this is as good as it gets.
"Videora Ipod Touch Converter ROCKS!!!!"

This converter is simple to use and understand. You can choose to convert for ipod touch/phone/apple tv/nano/classic, you can choose the quality of your video and the quality of sound. Always the best part: It's F-R-E-E.
You have to be connected to the internet for it to work.
You can control the quality of your videos (that's probably why it took 5 hrs for one person to convert video - the quality was too high) I've used this for about 20 videos so far - excellent. I never spent more than an hr on my computer and I've converted about 8 movies so far at about 900 MB each. I've tried to find better programs that are free - can't find them (and many of them only convert 5 - 10 minutes of your video). The only down side is the connection to the internet but most people stay connected to their internet 24/7 anyway. Don't expect to have something converted within a minute or two but if you have a free Saturday, you can convert between 1 - 8 videos per hour . . . Enjoy.
"worked just as Videora says"
Version: Videora iPod touch Converter 4.04
They make it simple, the program does all the work. Just answer the questions as you go along and the program will do all the work.
None except when it is telling you where to click to run the program you need to look and the lower screen where your application is and click the tabs there and not in the explanation/description screen. Dah me.
It took 10 minutes to convert a 32mb video.
Updated on Dec 29, 2008 -
"Very slow, more than five hours to convert one movie"
Version: Videora iPod touch Converter 4.04
It works, but ties up my computer forever. At least it's free.
It took more than five hours to convert my first movie. Probably won't try again, because I don't have that kind of time. It also uses all your system resources during that time.
It's the only one around that works AND is free. However, it may be worth paying for a speedier product unless you have a dedicated computer for converting videos.

Dan Kamla chuckles when he says that he might get more corn silage next fall than will fit in his bunker silos.
Barring a poor growing season, he'll definitely produce more tons of silage this year, but not by planting more corn acres. For the first time, all 100 of his silage-corn acres will be in 15" rows.
Kamla, of Arcadia, WI, is part of a trend toward narrow-row corn silage production. More and more dairy farmers are abandoning 30" and wider rows for their silage acres, opting instead for 15-22" rows.
Higher yields are the big drawing card, but farmers who've tried it cite other benefits, too, including better weed control. And dairymen with big herds like the fact that higher plant populations suck up more nutrients from manure, helping them avoid groundwater pollution problems.
Seed company representatives are less enthusiastic, however. They point out that not all hybrids perform well in narrow rows, and the ones that do have not been identified yet. Also, narrow rows usually mean higher plant populations, and research shows that, as plant numbers increase, silage digestibility drops, negating some of the yield-gain benefits.
Interest is high in west-central Wisconsin, Kamla reports. Several other dairy farmers in his area grow narrow-row silage corn, and more would try it if they had Kemper non-row-specific heads for their forage harvesters. That's the piece of equipment that makes it possible. Kamla has one, and does custom silage harvesting for a few narrow-row neighbors, but isn't able to fill all the requests.
He grew some 15"-row corn the past two years, and got significant yield increases compared with corn in 30" rows. Last year he had 25 acres in narrow rows.
"We had good-to-excellent yields considering the dry July weather," Kamla reports. "We had over 31 tons/acre, and we figure we gained about 26% over wide rows."
A neighbor did some calculations for Kamla and came up with a $100/acre increase in net profit. That was figuring the value of milk produced with the added silage.
Planting the crop is the biggest drawback for Kamla. Using a 30"-row planter, he plants each field twice. On the second trip, the planter drops seeds midway between the previously planted rows. That trip is more difficult than the first.
"I almost get blurry-eyed watching the marks," Kamla states.
He plants silage-specific Mycogen hybrids that range in maturity from 94 to 108 days. He figures the maturity range will widen his harvesting window in case of wet fall weather.
His planted seed population: 43,000/acre. He says Mycogen reps watched his narrow-row fields closely last summer. They recommend that their hybrids be planted at 24,000-27,000 seeds per acre. At those populations, they say each stalk should have two good-sized ears.
"We had one large ear on each stalk, and we're satisfied with that," says Kamla. "Some hybrids have small ears so they don't get as much grain in the silage."
The dairy farmer uses the same per-acre starter fertilizer rate when planting narrow rows and wide rows. The weed control program is the same, too - one postemergence application. But the narrow-row corn has fewer weeds.
Gary Dvoracek, Mycogen district sales manager in Kamla's area, thinks narrow-row silage corn is worth considering.
"I'm excited that farmers are looking at how to increase production off an acre of land," says Dvoracek. "This definitely is an avenue to check out."
But more research and farmer experimentation are needed before he'll recommend that farmers jump into narrow-row production.
"My biggest concern about narrow rows is that we've only been looking at it hard the last couple of years," Dvoracek adds. "And we've had two good growing years. I wonder what's going to happen in a cool year when we don't get much sunshine. Maturity may be delayed, and there's the possibility of increased stalk lodging."
Another consideration for growers who use corn insecticides at planting: Per-row rates may have to be reduced to avoid applying more than the per-acre labeled amount, Dvoracek cautions.

This is not an industry standard, it is a company standard. Independent insurance agents typically work with a handful of insurance companies (typically only one for each line of business), and know how to calculate premiums without consulting the insurance company directly. Your insurance agent uses this knowledge to give you coverage on the spot, an insurance policy that has not yet been reported to the insurance company is said to be in "bindered" status.

Home | Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly |
Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly Click on the photo to hear the wav sound. NOTE: THE RC SIKORSKY DRAGONFLY IS ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE PAGE.
The Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly was probably best known for its role as a medevac helicopter, rescuing downed pilots during the Korean War. It was a larger, more powerful, more streamlined progression of the original line of Sikorsky helicopters, capable of additional missions. The H-5 became the first dedicated rescue helicopter when fitted with a hoist and external fuel tank. Operated by the U.S. Navy, it was also the first helicopter used in the Antarctic. The helicopter was updated through the years. Modifications included adding a nose wheel, more interior room, and additional payload capacity. The H-5 became the world's first amphibious helicopter when it was fitted with pontoons which had wheels extending from them. The H-5 cockpit seated a pilot and co pilot in tandem. The pilot's position afforded excellent visibility, essential for the search and rescue role. For medevac missions, stretchers were carried on each side of the helicopter. The H-5 was the first all metal helicopter built in the Sikorsky line. Previous helicopters were cloth covered. This made it more able to withstand the harsh conditions it was exposed to. Pilots particularly appreciated its precise handling, an improvement over prior helicopter designs. The Sikorsky H-5, also designated the R-5 and S-51, was used by the U.S. Army in the medevac role, and as an observation and scout aircraft. It was used for search and rescue by the U.S.C.G. and as a utility helicopter by the U.S.M.C. It was used for sea duties on a wide variety of ships by the U.S.N. It was even used by the U.S. Post Office. A number were also sold for civilian applications. On Jan. 10, 1946 a H-5 climbed to an altitude of 21,000 feet, making it one of the world's highest flying helicopters. In addition to being built in the United States, a total of 133 of the helicopters were built under license in England by Westland. A total of over 300 Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly helicopters of all types were produced. The rc Sikorsky Dragonfly fuselage from Darth. It comes in two halves, is made from Styrene, and fits 450 size mechanics.
The rc Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly makes an unusual radio control helicopter. It is not often modeled. We could only find one fuselage from Darth currently being sold. If you know of a rc Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly please email us about it. The rc Sikorsky cardboard model sold by Fiddlers Green. It has been
used for the basis of a radio control helicopter. A rc Sikorsky Dragonfly helicopter built by John Morgan. It uses ECO 7
mechanics. Length is 47", height is 13" and construction is mostly from Depron. The rc Sikorsky Dragonfly fuselage made by Darthdrk from RC Groups. It
is made to fit TRex and Zoom mechanics. Email us. |

Health Surveillance and Disease Management / Communicable Diseases / Antimicrobial Resistance
Annual Regional Report from Countries Participating in the Network for Monitoring and Surveillance of Resistance to Antibiotics (2002 data)(Buenos Aires, Argentina, 10–13 May 2003) | ||||||||
Full Text Other Annual Reports PAHO Links WHO Links |
Introduction | Recommendations As part of the body of knowledge needed to combat the development of resistance to antimicrobials, since 1997 19 countries of the Region have been part of a network that makes yearly reports on the percentages of resistance to enteric bacteria: Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio cholerae. Since the year 2000, surveillance has expanded to other species that are found in the community and in hospitals, as listed below:
The information provided by each country is an aggregate of the information obtained from various centers involved and occasionally from different geographical areas, such that their epidemiological value is limited. However, one cannot underestimate the importance of this information as an indicator of trends and also as a technical basis on which to justify the need to take measures for the prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance. As a prerequisite for their participation in the network, the countries must make a commitment to having a center to coordinate the national network, which at the same time will be made up of sentinel sites. In most countries, the coordinating institution is the National Reference Laboratory specializing in the area covered by the network. Its function is as follows:
At the same time, the sentinel sites should do the following:
Considering the fact the the treatments followed are empirical in nature, any local knowledge dissemination on the resistance patterns of the microorganisms subject to surveillance is fundamental for the rational use of antibiotics. External performance evaluation of the national coordinating institutions, the National Reference Centers, is carried out annually by the National Laboratory for Enteric Pathogens / NLEP), Canada, by means of an annual shipment of 15 unknown strains of Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio cholerae (five of each). In addition, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases of the National Administration of Laboratories and Health Institutes "Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán" (Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Infecciosas, la Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Institutos de Salud "Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán" / INEI/ANLIS) , Argentina, sends a panel of 10 unknown enteric and non-enteric strains twice a year to Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Nicaragua. At the meeting held in Buenos Aires in 2003, the results obtained in 2002 were presented, by country, as can be seen in the report. The participants additionally made the following recommendations:

Counting down the Top 40
We're just days away from the 2012 NFL Draft, with the first round of selections scheduled to be made April 26. Who will be No. 1? Who get the call in Round 1? Sporting News' mock draft has answers. Join us daily as we count down the 40 best players available.
No. 40: Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State
Worthy is an exceptional athlete with the rare combination of great initial quickness, excellent natural strength, very quick hands and the speed to chase down plays all over the field. He has the versatility to become a quality starting end in a 3-4 scheme, a defensive tackle in a 4-3 or even a nose tackle in a 3-4. Find out his flaws and see which teams and schemes would be best for him.
No. 39: Mark Barron, S, Alabama
Barron is strong and thickly built with the long arms teams love in a safety. He is an outstanding leader who takes command of the defense and makes sure the secondary is lined up correctly. He is an aggressive run support player who reads and reacts fast, avoids blockers well on the move and does a good job of wrapping up and making hard, violent tackles when he stays under control. A key for him is how he fares in pass coverage.
No. 38: Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama
Upshaw is a well-built defender at who 6-2, 265 pounds combines his size and long arms to play strong at the point of attack against run blockers. He has an excellent reach to jolt the run blockers upright and backward. Upshaw then quickly sheds blocks to make tackles on runs at him. He is a consistent, wrap-up tackler along the line of scrimmage. But he is a 'tweener who must go to a team that can best use his abilities.
No. 37: Sean Spence, OLB, Miami (Fla.)
There's a lot to like about Spence, a middle linebacker who is a quick-twitch, explosive athlete with outstanding speed. His lateral agility allows him to make plays sideline to sideline. Is that enough to overcome the biggest knock against him?
No. 36: Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
Poe is an exceptional athlete with ideal size and terrific speed. He can be an excellent run defender When he is focused and competing hard, he is a disruptive inside force. The key to Poe is intensity.
No. 35: Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina
On film, Brown reminded us of the Chicago Bears' Lance Briggs with his ability to make big plays chasing down running backs and in pass coverage. To complete that picture, Brown must match his image to his effort.
No. 34: Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois
Mercilus is a physical defender who's consistently able to make plays using his technique and outstanding competitiveness. Has he come out a year too soon?
No. 33: Josh Robinson, CB, Central Florida
Robinson has the rare athleticism of a shutdown cornerback and is at his best in zone and off coverage. When he is focused on his technique and footwork, he is always in good position. And when his backpedal is compact, he can flip his hips to turn and run with receivers. Take a closer look.
No. 32: Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall
Curry's game-changing pass-rush ability and status as an elite athlete have the attention of NFL teams. He clearly has one of the most explosive first steps in the 2012 defensive class. Size up his strengths, weaknesses and needs.
No. 31: Amini Silatolu, G, Midwestern State
Silatolu has outstanding athleticism and exceptional initial quickness. He should be able to make a transition to the NFL from Midwestern State. His biggest question: Why did he play at a Division II program instead of one of the large schools that were pursuing him?
No. 30: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
No one questions his talent, which is enough to make Jenkins one of the best cornerbacks in the draft class. It's the baggage he carries from off-field episodes that scares teams.
No. 29: Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State
Based on his college success, Weeden has first-round ability. But there are questions, not the smallest of which is his age. Having spent several years in minor league baseball cuts both ways, and also has its benefits.
No. 28: Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia
Boykin will be a dynamic playmaking cornerback and returner because of his athleticism and ball skills, despite his size. He has excellent instincts to maintain proper position in man coverage. Plus, he has elite ability as a return specialist.
No. 27: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
There's no question who is the best center available. It's Konz, hands down. At least three teams could take him, likely early in Round 2 if not in the first round. See which teams crave him and what improvements he needs.
No. 26: Jonathan Martin, T, Stanford
Jonathan Martin's elite feet and athleticism make him an intriguing talent. Several teams near the back of first round and front of the second round could draft the Stanford product. What makes Martin a top O-line prospect?
No. 25: Nick Perry, DE, Southern Cal
Perry is a premier pass rusher because of his excellent use of his hands to jolt and defeat pass blockers. He also separates himself from most elite college pass rushers with his strong, consistent play against the run. With one more step, he will become an elite pro.
No. 24: Mychal Kendricks, MLB, California
Kendricks is faster and has a better closing burst than many NFL linebackers. He plays with an intensity that brings Ray Lewis to mind. What's not to like about this guy? One small problem.
No. 23: David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech
Wilson is a remarkably athletic and explosive back who rushed for 1,709 yards rushing in his first season as a starter. He's expected to be either a late first- or high second-round pick. The team that selections him will have a couple problems to correct.
No. 22: Rueben Randle, WR, LSU
Great size, strong hands, good moves and route-running ability plus down-field speed mark Randle as a potential large target for teams needing wideout help. This Tiger would be a first-round pick but must fine-tune his game.
No. 21: Doug Martin, RB, Boise State
A productive career in Boise State's wide-open offense marks Martin as a capable power back who can stay on the field in all situations. In a draft lacking versatile backs, Martin could be a plum. His stock is rising thanks to great offseason work.
No. 20: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
Wright's ability to out-run the defense and turning short passes into touchdowns will make him a first-round pick. His initial quickness enables him to quickly accelerate to full speed. Wright's ability to get on top of cornerback fast helps him get separation deep when corners try to turn and run with him.
No. 19: Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
Tight end has become a chic position in the NFL after the Patriots showed how two playmakers can impact a game. That's why Stanford's Fleener will be coveted and a likely first-round pick.
No. 18: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
A tall cornerback with blazing speed who excelled against SEC competition ... safe to say Kirkpatrick is firmly in the first-round discussion. Learn more on his talent and his shortcomings.
No. 17: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
Cox is the most explosive interior defensive lineman in this draft class. His skills, combined with his production, will make him a top 20 pick.
No. 16: Devon Still, DT, Penn State
Still is an impressive physical specimen who became Penn State's best defensive player in 2011 and developed into a first-round prospect. Despite his lack of great statistical production, he will be a high pick because of his physical talent.
No. 15: Alameda Ta'amu, DT, Washington
Because of his size, athleticism and strength, Ta'amu is the best pure nose tackle in the draft. Perhaps Ta'amu's best trait is his competitiveness. Unlike most defensive tackles at his weight, he competes hard on every snap. He is relentless in his efforts to make plays. There's more to learn about this can't miss prospect.
No. 14: Cordy Glenn, OL, Georgia
Cordy Glenn's senior season at Georgia has him among the draft's best offensive tackle prospects. But there's something teams must remember when they evaluate this Bulldog.
No. 13: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina
North Carolina has a track record of turning out defensive players and Quinton Coples is no exception. With exceptional size and athleticism, what teams are interested in this pass rusher?
No. 12: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
Despite his past off-field issues with alcohol, teams are high on Notre Dame's Michael Floyd because of his size and route running. What teams are intrigued with the receiving prospect?
No. 11: David DeCastro, G, Stanford
DeCastro plays with great competitiveness on every snap. His determination, combined with his top-level athleticism, makes him a rare prospect. Despite his average playing strength, his usually solid technique enables him to produce at a high level.
No. 10: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
At 6-5 and 325 pounds, defensive tackle Michael Brockers is the sort of athlete coaches dream of having — but is his one standout season at LSU enough to justify a top pick?
No. 9. Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
Tannehill is gifted with all the physical talent to become an elite quarterback. He will be a high first-round pick because his talent will make NFL teams overlook his lack of experience and mistakes.
No. 8: Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College
Kuechly compares favorably to Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, and he has the versatility to play any linebacker positions. We see the Bears among teams that could be in needs of his services.
No. 7: Melvin Ingram, DE/OLB, South Carolina
An exceptional athlete, Ingram has skills to consistently beat pass blockers and pressure the quarterback. He is strong against the run as well. And he is versatile enough play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme or end in a 4-3. Ingram is a wanted man for teams needing a pass rusher.
No. 6: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
Blackmon will be the first receiver drafted and probably will be selected in the top six. Few receivers enter the NFL with his combination of size, strength, hands and strong run-after-the-catch ability. Blackmon was remarkably productive, but he has one shortcoming.
No. 5: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
Alabama's Trent Richardson is the best running back SN's Russ Lande has ever evaluated—even better than Adrian Peterson. Where will his impressive set of skills be for the 2012 NFL season?
No. 4: Matt Kalil, OT, Southern California
Former USC offensive lineman Matt Kalil will be a top-five pick and has all the physical talent to start immediately at left tackle in the NFL, but which team will grab him first?
No. 3: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
How good is LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne? His could be the first name called after Indianapolis and Washington take care of their quarterback needs. In fact, we think he's better than 2010 prospect Patrick Peterson.
No. 2: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
Andrew Luck will be the first pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night, but why is he not atop Sporting News' draft rankings as the top prospect in the 2012 draft class?
No. 1: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
Robert Griffin III will go second overall on Thursday, but the dynamic QB is No. 1 in our countdown of top NFL prospects, and reminds us of a Hall of Famer known for his athleticism.
