A high-power ministerial panel, on Friday, approved hiking by up to 25 per cent the reserve or start price for the auction of mobile phone spectrum in January.
An Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), headed by Defence Minister A. K. Antony, agreed with the recommendation of the Telecom Commission to better regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) suggested reserve or base price for the auction of spectrum in the 1800 MHz and 900 MHz bands, used by GSM operators such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone.
The panel did not take up the merger and acquisition norms.
The EGoM also asked TRAI to suggest a base price for the 800 MHz spectrum, which is used by CDMA operators such as Sistema.
TRAI had not recommended a reserve price for the 800 MHz band, saying there was no need to auction these airwaves now.
The Telecom Commission had earlier this month suggested fixing a minimum Rs.1,765 crore per MHz as the price for pan-India spectrum in the 1800 MHz band, 15 per cent higher than the TRAI's suggested rate of Rs.1,496 crore. The base price for 900 MHz should be 25 per cent higher than what TRAI had recommended, the EGoM said on Friday.
Spectrum in this band will cost a minimum of Rs.360 crore per MHz for Delhi, Rs.328 crore for Mumbai and Rs.125 crore for Kolkata.
"The EGoM met today, and we took a final decision on the reserve price and the EGoM has accepted the reserve price recommendations of the Telecom Commission," Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters here.
Even after the increase, the reserve price is lower than the failed auction of November, when spectrum in the 1800 MHz band was offered at a base price of Rs.2,800 crore per MHz.
An operator can bid for a minimum of 5 MHz in the 900 MHz band. For the 1800 MHz band, the Minister said a decision would be taken on the quantum to be auctioned after consulting the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) about spectrum availability.
Yet to finalise quantum
"We have to finalise the total quantum of spectrum in the 1800 MHz band that has to be put for auction. That would be decided hopefully at the end of the coming week," Mr. Sibal said.
The Minister said there would be no reservation for existing operators in the 900 MHz band.
"As far as 900 MHz auction is concerned, there is going to be no reservation. All those who have 900 MHz will be participating in the auction," he added.
Mr. Sibal said the auction was likely to be held around January 21-22.
On spectrum usage charges, the Minister said the existing regime would be followed.
Mr. Sibal said the method of payment for the spectrum auction would be the same as before: 30 per cent upfront payment for the 1800 MHz band and 25 per cent for 900 MHz.

About this project
UPDATE - We've reached our financing goal BUT this is your last chance to pledge! Five buck or more and you'll get to see an exclusive Searching for Sonny clip we'll be sending out to contributors next week.
For more info, tidbits, and cool photos, check out our Facebook page at http://facebook.com/searchingforsonny
Our little film has attracted a BIG cast:
Jason Dohring (Veronica Mars)
Minka Kelly (500 Days of Summer, Friday Night Lights)
Masi Oka (Heroes, Get Smart)
Michael Hogan (Battlestar Galatica)
Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney from www.briTANick.com
And TONS of great local talent!
Time is of the essence. We're committed to our start date, but we need your support. You can make the difference between making the film of our dreams versus us not realizing our potential. We need your support - both your time and your treasures - to get us through production and post-production.
More than anyone, you know our journey. Sonny started out as a diamond-in-the-rough script written by Andrew Disney - a Fort Worth kid with a wicked sense of humor - and after a year of throwing all of our weight behind this project, we're just a few months away from seeing the fruits of our labor and passion.
Searching for Sonny is a film that tells the story of Elliot, Calvin, and Gary who return to their high school reunion to discover that their old buddy, Sonny, is missing under mysterious circumstances. After run-ins with the law, an ex-girlfriend, and the corpse of the high school quarterback, the mystery turns meta when they realize that everything happening seems eerily similar to a play they performed in high school – a play Sonny wrote.

CONYERS - The Salem baseball team is looking for its postseason experience to pay dividends this year.
The Seminoles (22-4) open the Class AAAA playoffs on the road today in Atlanta against Lakeside-DeKalb (19-7) at 2 p.m. Salem coach Chris Davis is hoping his squad can draw on the lessons learned in last year's first-round loss at Woodland. "Sometimes it's hard for players to understand that this is a new season," Davis said. "Everybody is 0-0 and, if you lose, it ends. I hope we can take from last season that everybody is a good team from this point on and what you do from this point on you have to earn. There are no gimmies, no tomorrows or no resets." The Seminoles, who finished third in Region 8-AAAA with a 20-4 record, come into the postseason on a roll, winning their last eight games. Salem hasn't lost since a 10-9 setback at Madison County on April 11. Davis feels patience and limiting mistakes will be key in the series against the Vikings. "We have to limit mistakes, whether it's on the field, hitting or on the bases," he said. "We will need to take advantage of any chance we get, whether it's getting cheap outs on them or scoring an extra run on their mistake. We need to stay relaxed and play our game, one pitch at a time. Lakeside has pitchers that will force you to be patient and, if you can't (be patient), they will frustrate you to death." On paper, this first-round matchup could be one of the best in Class AAAA. Salem enters the game ranked No. 10 in the latest poll. The Seminoles' four losses all came at the hands of playoff teams from 8-AAAA, which has three squads ranked in the Class AAAA top 10. Lakeside (19-7) was leading Region 6-AAAA until losing to North Springs in its final region game. The Vikings were 13-2 in region play. "They are a very good baseball team," Davis said. "They have two pitchers that have done a great job all season of stopping whoever they play. They have an offense that will score a few runs here and there, and then before you know it, they have a lot of runs on the board. They have beaten some quality teams this year and they will beat us, if we don't come ready to play our best." The Vikings' other region loss came at the hands of St. Pius by a 6-2 score March 20. Lakeside-DeKalb also beat region champion Marist in their only meeting 3-2, also in March. "I expect the two teams to be giving everything they've got," Davis said. "Each of these teams has been in some tight games throughout the season, so I don't expect anything less here. Both teams expect to win, but know it is not going to be given to them." Jeff Gillespie can be reached at email@example.com.

Kieron Dyer Has 'Called It A Day'
Former Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer is set to retire from professional football this summer, having been released by Middlesbrough.
Injury-prone Dyer started at Ipswich and went on to play for England, Newcastle, West Ham, QPR and finally Boro during the second half of last season.
He moved to Newcastle for £6.5 million in the summer of 1999, and he broke into the England team while at St James's Park and went on to win 33 caps, featuring in the 2002 World Cup as a sub on three occasions and briefly at Euro 2004.
However, Dyer's career was hampered by a succession of injuries, and although his fabulous ability was never really in doubt, his career could have been far better.

This sporty and flattering scrub set from Wonderwink Origins collection features a V-neck scrub top and drawstring scrub pants with lots of fun details.
I like this style very much and it wears well
I got an XS top and XS Tall pants. I got the purple and the navy blue sets. The purple pants are shorter than the navy ones even though they are the same size. They work, but it was a bit disappointing. Other that that, the scrubs are a little rough for the fabric but they hold up well and they fit really well.
I order the sets. I need the petite small pants, which fit perfect, but it'd be nice to have the option to get a different size top, if I chose. The petite extra small fits, but it could be a size larger and still fit perfect. Other than that, I love my winks!
I tried these because of the price. The fabric is a little on the "thick" side, but they are a million times better than the awful scrubs provided at my job. I'm 5'5" about 120# I ordered the XS and the fit was perfect.
In my opinion, these are the best scrubs you can buy for the money. Fit and look fantastic like more expensive sets. Very feminine, but functional and hold up well. Love, love them.

Above Ground Swimming Pools
Swimming pools are very common nowadays, proving to be among the best investments you may make for your home and your family. A children's pool is an excellent solution to cool off, if you live in an region that is known for a warm climate. You could have friends at your pool to have fun, or use it to teach your kids how exactly to swim. To research more, consider having a gaze at: pool builder austin tx. Although many people prefer an in ground pool, an above ground pool is equally as good - if not better.
Above ground swimming pools are well-known for three reasons - protection, installation, and maintenance. All forms of pools can be a undertaking to keep, as you've to completely clean it on a daily basis and ensure that you have the right balance of chemicals in the water. You also have to keep an eye on the heat as well, and keep items such as for instance leaves out of the water.
Above ground pools are more straightforward to keep for the simple reason to be above ground. In ground pools are down low, indicating that dirt can simply enter it, and animals such as puppies, cats, and even squirrels have comfortable access to it. Above ground pools on the other hand are a bit higher up, and make it difficult for animals and dirt to gain use of the water. Those who're looking for less maintenance that is required by a pool - should explore an ground swimming pool.
Above ground pools will also be better for children as well. Children can quickly belong to in ground pools, for the straightforward undeniable fact that they're low to the ground. By having an above ground pool, children have to climb a ladder before they could be in the water. If you think anything, you will probably require to compare about team. This could allow it to be hard for children to achieve access, that is just what you need. If you have young kids at your home, you could depend on an above ground pool to supply an expression of security.
As you can do it yourself, unlike in ground pools, above ground swimming pools are much easier to install. To explore more, consider taking a glance at: pool builders austin texas. You can choose a professional if you like, though above ground pools are very easy-to install that anyone can do it. With these forms of pools, there is no digging up your garden and other risks involved. All that's necessary to accomplish is clean off a place of one's home for the pool, then set everything up. Hours are normally taken just a few by it to set up your pool, helping to make it a very time efficient way of having a swimming pool.
Above ground pools will also be cost efficient as well. Most above ground pools cost not quite 1/4 the price of an in ground pool, making them affordable for only those that on a tight budget. There are many styles to choose from, from the smallest and cheapest to the largest. Even though you get yourself a large model, the prices are still very affordable. This way, your complete family can have a pool to savor in the summer without going broke in the act.
With an above ground pool, you are able to spend quality time with your household without making your house. Although there are tasks and maintenance associated with a swimming pool, its really worth it. Here is a surprising library for supplementary resources about why to see this view. If you have been looking for a great swimming pool, you can be confident that an above ground pool is well worth the time - and the amount of money.

Your wedding day will be packed with precious moments. Take stock of them here and you won't miss a shot.
Photo: Elizabeth Messina
No doubt there are many wedding moments you won't want to miss. The best way to ensure your photographer captures the right moments for all posterity is to provide a suggested shot list. Of course, the style and number of these images will all depend on the photographer you've chosen and how long you've hired that pro for, but a shot list of photos you'd love to have is a great way to cover your bases. Since you should count on at least five minutes per shot, it's unrealistic to expect all the photos below, but pick and choose those shots that mean most to you.

Brad Navin

Eligible for draft:

7th round (197th overall), 2011 |

Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2008-09: Brad Navin scored 25 goals with 18 assists in 16 games as a sophomore for Waupaca High School (Wisconsin).
2009-10: Navin led all scorers in Wisconsin high school hockey with 53 goals and 39 assists in 25 games for Waupaca. Navin scored 12 goals on the power play and 9 short-handed goals.
2010-11: Navin was the leading scorer for Team Wisconsin in the fall Upper Midwest Elite Hockey League. In 24 games, he scored 20 goals with 10 assists and scored eight times on the power play. Navin was off to a rapid start in his senior year at Waupaca, scoring 29 goals with 23 assists in just 14 games before he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Navin signed a letter of intent in May to play college hockey for the Wisconsin Badgers. Navin was ranked 163rd among North American skaters by Central Scouting and was selected by the Sabres in the 7th round (197th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft.
2011-12: Navin made the jump directly from high school hockey to college – skating in 36 of 37 games for the University of Wisconsin as a freshman. Playing in primarily a third and fourth line role in his first season, he scored 3 goals with 3 assists and was minus-five with 16 penalty minutes. The Badgers were 10th in the WCHA, just their third season finishing under-.500 since head coach Mike Eaves took over in 2002-03.
2012-13: Navin played in 34 of 42 games for Wisconsin in his sophomore season. Skating on the Badgers fourth line with fellow Wisconsin natives Keegan Meuer and Matt Paape, he scored 1 goal with 3 assists and was +3 with 8 penalty minutes. The Badgers finished tied for fourth in the WCHA but earned an NCAA tournament berth after capturing the Broadmoor Trophy playoff championship by defeating Colorado College, 3-2, in the final. Wisconsin lost to Hockey East champion Massachusetts-Lowell in the NCAA Northeast Regional semi-finals.
Talent Analysis
Navin is a lanky goal-scorer who needs to pack on more muscle to succeed. His greatest asset is his shot, which he uses often, though he prefers to work his way through tight corners and find openings rather than finding the soft areas of the ice and waiting for a pass. While he skates well for a big center, it is one of his most obvious weaknesses.
Over two years with the Badgers, Navin has scored only four goals in 70 games. He will need to improve by leaps and bounds to earn a contract with the Sabres. He will return to Wisconsin for his junior season.

Las Vegas' New Headliner, You Bette-cha
Photo: AP Photo
What's hotter than the desert in the summer? Las Vegas, of course! That's why we've trolled the strip to select the best of the best for September's "Seven Deadly Sins." With one for every day of the week, you'll never be at a loss for sinful pleasures. Wrath Wednesdays, anyone?
Although Vegas had enough T&A on display to last me a lifetime, my most memorable experience in Sin City was an interview with the newest Queen of Vegas, the Divine Bette Midler. Currently rocking Caesars Palace with her extravaganza "The Showgirl Must Go On," Miss M took the time out of her insane schedule to tell us her formula for staying fabulously fit and gorgeous:
CNT: How has Vegas been treating you?
Bette Midler: My husband and I are crazy about it. We're real foodies. So we go out to many restaurants on the Strip but also to the Chinatown Plaza, which is one of the biggest I've ever
seen. I love to lunch there.
CNT: Your show is so high-intensity. How do you do it every night?
Bette Midler: Well, it's very interesting. Now that I've started, I'm in much better shape than when I was just rehearsing, because when I was rehearsing I was doing all of it: a little directing, a little writing, a little arranging, helping with the clothes. I put my imprint on every single aspect of the show. So I didn't have the time to do the workouts and the real hard dancing. And now that I'm doing that, the weight is just falling off. I have a routine that I do every night, almost like a ritual, as many entertainers do to keep themselves healthy and strong. In addition, I have to run around for an hour and a half on a 120-foot stage every night. It's a little bit extreme, I have to admit. But I'm okay. As long as you don't drink too much and you build up your strength and your stamina, you'll be fine.
CNT: How do you unwind after the show?
Bette Midler: I've taken to going to the spa Qua here
at Caesars. They offer a huge array of services, like fantastic mineral water pools in three temperatures, which are extraordinary. There are also non-mineral water pools on the property, which I kind of avoid because the chlorine takes all the color out of my hair. They have a fabulous steam room and a frigidarium, which is modeled on the Roman bath. The services are excellent. The beauty shop is fantastic. I've been there for mani/pedis many times. And the massages are really good too. As you can see, I have a weakness for spa life.
CNT: What do you do on your days off?
Bette Midler: Days off? Are you kidding? I'm sleeping. Or in the spa. I'm usually wiped out. The problem with days off is that when you let everything go it's so hard to get back into harness again.
"The Showgirl Must Go On" is at Caesars Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd. S. For tickets, call 877-732-8836.

SEP 12.1 cannot clear "still infected" status
Looked at this KB but it does not apply as the file is gone from network. http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH165846
I had a CD with some network scanning tools that SEP 12.1 detected, but it was a false positive. Obviously it wasn't able to remove them being on a CD and now even though the CD has been out of the computer for over a week, SEP still shows the computer as still infected with the file path to the CD. The KB says the still infected will clear automatically when the threat is removed, and the threat is gone but the still infected flag remains.
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
it says
The management server resets the Still Infected Status for a client computer once the computer is no longer infected. It gives a more accurate status for how many client computers really are infected.
what if u delete the client machine from the console and wait for 5 mins
update policy on the client machine, this should come up with latest logs and status should be cleared..

Re: Chain plate or impact.
I honestly don't have an answer at this point Jim.
I know (and knew when I bought it) that at some point there was a leak in the area of one plate.
Like you I know all boats leak, somewhere, sometime.
I can understand water leaking around a chain plate's cover and corroding the top couple of inches of my cap plate (teak) and bulwark (4-6 inches high in that area - and that's before it gets to the 'hull' or the deck level.
How is would continue down the encapsulated - which I take to mean solid fiberglass and resin wrapped plate and then delaminate of cause movement enough to crack gell coat - I'm thinking that's rocket science and only a grinder can tell.
Unfortunately, but the time I have it ground out to see if there's a problem, well it will need to be replaced won't it.
Lessons learned are opportunities earned.

Reuters informs that gamers born before the first Bush administration aren't all suffering from Peter Pan syndrome -- game systems are growing up with them. 37 percent of adults own a gaming console and 16 percent own a portable gaming device according to Nielson/NetRatings. Of those, 71 percent are married and 66 percent have at least one child.
According to Reuters, analysts predicted the Wii did well because adult gamers wanted to introduce their children to gaming. These "Nintendads" helped sell a lot of units. Oh please, "Nintendads" wanted the Wii for themselves. The kid was just the add-on peripheral excuse that allowed the wife to let them purchase the console.
Beyond Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft are clearly fighting it out for an adult focused media hub. Although neither is succeeding in making that all-in-one unit, we don't really care, as long as they focus on the games. All we know is as this "Nintendad" generation takes control, we'll see a significant decline in silly game legislation.

HOUSTON - Two Houston firefighters have died fighting a house fire early this morning.
Officials say the department responded to a house fire shortly after midnight this morning.
Neighbors say firefighters didn't enter the house until the blaze looked like it was calming down, but suddenly flames shot through the roof and sideways through the house.
Firefighters left the house, and two were missing during roll call.
The bodies of the two who were missing were recovered shortly after.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

How to Read the Alethiometer
Any question can be expressed by a combination of three symbols, using either the primary or any of the subsidiary meanings. For example,
Should I marry now, or wait for a year?
would be expressed by means of the bird (third meaning, marriage, because birds mate for life), the hourglass (tenth meaning, a year), and the horse (fifth meaning, constancy). The inquirer moves each of the hands in turn until it points to one of the three symbols.
But that is only the physical part of the process. The other part is mental. The inquirer must endeavor to hold in his or her mind a clear picture of where each of the meanings comes in its range. Evoking the image of ladders with rungs extending downward is sometimes advised by skilled practitioners of alethiometry. Picture three ladders side by side, each rung being one meaning in the range, and mark distinctly the rungs corresponding to the meanings you intend - for example, by imagining a bright light shining on them, or ribbons tied around them, or by covering them in gold leaf. The inquirer must hold that image firmly, without losing it for a moment, while setting the hands in position.
Once the question has been asked, the needle will begin to move around the dial, and the inquirer must pay close attention to its movements. It may stop at any number of symbols: two, or three, or many more. The inquirer must note carefully not only which symbols it stops at but also how many times it stops there, because the number of times corresponds to the place of the intended meaning in the symbol's range.
For example, the question above might receive an answer in which the needle stopped at chameleon three times, walled garden seven times, baby five times, madonna nine times, sword six times, bull two times, ant ten times, and bird three times.
By noting the pauses carefully and consulting the books of readings, the inquirer would discover the following meanings: "wait", "allow", "fail", "love", "not", "strong", "sustain", and "marriage."
So much for the external process; the inward process would require the reader to put these meanings together correctly and come to the answer:
Wait and allow your love to cool and die away, because it is not strong enough to sustain marriage.
The alethiometer moves to answer immediately, and usually answers only once. It is clear that a reader must be unusually quick-witted as well as diligent and perceptive, and that only long practice and deep familiarity with the symbol ranges, acquired over many years, can bring about accurate interpretation.
In short, the alethiometer supplies the semantic content of a message, and the mind of the inquirer supplies the grammatical connections between the individual elements. Only when the two work together does the full meaning become apparent.

You guys are also saying Tomlin is hanging onto the veteran guys while not putting in the younger ones, which is valid, but he's doing so for a reason. You don't get to coach the Steelers if you don't have any idea what you're doing. Hampton has being playing decently enough for Woodley to at least apply some pressure on the left side. We wouldn't even be having this discussion if Harrison was healthy and getting to the quarterback on the right side. It would be rainbows and candy, and all this talk about Hampton would be viewed as ridiculous. He's one of the bright spots on an ailing defense right now.
It's tough right now and there's no getting around it. What we don't need, however, are people bitching like they are here about a system that's proven to work when we have our starters out there. Teams are smart enough to throw at Mundy when Troy or Ryan aren't out there because that's immediately the weakest point in our defense. LeBeau has had to adjust the defensive scheme because he doesn't have Harrison wreaking havoc on the right side with Troy roaming around the middle, forcing a quarterback to make poor decisions and create turnovers.
I do agree that it's probably time for LeBeau to hang 'em up, but that would bring in a new defensive philosophy -- something I'm all for. We have the talent to switch to a 4-3 defense with a few adjustments, but we're not doing so.
The defense is in trouble right now, but it's because Harrison and Polamalu aren't out there, thus defensive adjustments have to be made. Once they return, healthy and ready to go, Dick will adjust accordingly and we'll go from there. Bitching and moaning about a team that's 3 weeks into a season might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. This kind of talk isn't on Patriots and Packers sites, so why is it here?
The Steelers aren't in trouble yet. If, for whatever reason they are still struggling once we return to health, then it's time to push the panic button. Until then, all of this looks like it's coming from a fair-weather fanbase.
Of course Tomlin is doing it for a reason. Otherwise he wouldn't be, would he? Whether or not the reasoning is good, is another matter. It doesn't seem like you've been watching the same games everyone else has. I have yet to see a single person before this post defending Hampton as putting up a performance worth the 5 mil he's collecting for it.
Ragging on Hampton(Or any other player) doesn't diminish ones fans status. Most of us are here for the Pittsburgh Steelers, not the Casey Hampton Football Hour. Those Patriots you mention have nothing to complain about because Brady is healthy, and they're actually all Brady fans. The day Brady retires the Patriots fan base goes away.

A fantasy perspective of the 2014 draft
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- We're still around two weeks away from Draft Day and all the trades that go with it, but there are a number of stories that fantasy owners will want to follow during the selection process and the time until training camps begin.
Let's take a quick trip through the NFC to see what fantasy owners should be looking for at the draft and through the remainder of the offseason. Later we will tackle the AFC.
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys
- Dallas needs to decide who will start opposite star wideout Dez Bryant. It used to be Miles Austin and he produced solid fantasy points when he was healthy (which wasn't often). Whether that answer is already on the roster in Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley or Dwayne Harris or they need select someone in the draft, the winner of the competition could be a useful WR3.
New York Giants
- Rashad Jennings can run the ball if given an opening, but to be a true RB1 he's going to need a better offensive line than what New York showed last season. If the G-Men improve the line we might be inclined to draft Jennings and Eli Manning a bit higher. It wouldn't be a glamorous, headline-catching pick, but it would be effective.
Philadelphia Eagles
- The waiving of DeSean Jackson created a gaping hole that must be filled. The team can't depend on Jeremy Maclin or Riley Cooper to stretch defenses and open up the underneath for Eagles running backs and tight ends. As Jackson showed last season, this player has the potential to put up top-10 quality fantasy statistics. They won't get Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans, but if either LSU's Odell Beckham or Oregon State's Brandin Cooks gets the call they could be a big-time fantasy option even as a rookie.
Washington Redskins
- Which Robert Griffin III will show up in 2014? The one who ran and threw his way to fantasy stardom as a rookie, or last season's faded version? The addition of the aforementioned Jackson opposite Pierre Garcon should help, but RG3's health is probable the more important factor to watch. We expect the Redskins to go for defensive help at the draft.
NFC North
Chicago Bears
- The Bears don't need much on offense. Perhaps a backup running back for Matt Forte, but they will likely concentrate on the other side of the ball, so the draft probably won't change any fantasy values.
Detroit Lions
- The Lions will likely target a top receiver to play opposite Calvin Johnson. Megatron owners might not be happy with a reduction in targets, but if they get a guy like Evans from Texas A&M this duo could match the division rival Bears tandem of Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey in physical skills.
Green Bay Packers
- The Packers and Aaron Rodgers have a need for a tight end to replace Jermichael Finley, but if Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson are healthy the tight end has limited fantasy value. Even in his best season Finley never caught more than 61 balls.
Minnesota Vikings
- Adrian Peterson needs better quarterback play to stay a top-five running back. Either Matt Cassel needs to play like he did in New England or the rookie QB the Vikings probably select on Draft Day has to play well in his first season. At this point I don't have faith in either option so despite my great respect for "All Day" his days as a top-five pick could be over.
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons
- If the Falcons don't protect Matt Ryan this season, it won't matter that Julio Jones and Roddy White are one of the best pair of receivers in the NFL. Yes, the team needs defensive help too, but if you don't see a top offensive lineman in the first few rounds then drafting Ryan, Jones and White at your fantasy draft could be a very risky option.
Carolina Panthers
- The Panthers receiving corps last season was mediocre at best ... and that was with Steve Smith on the roster. With Smith now in Baltimore, Cam Newton's fantasy value has taken a big hit and only a top rookie receiver can help boost the quarterback's value.
New Orleans Saints
- Quarterback Drew Brees lost both Darren Sproles and Lance Moore in the offseason. The team has plenty of backs to replace Sproles (they hope), but they need help at receiver. Marques Colston is getting older and less reliable and we're still not sure about Kenny Stills or Nick Toon. Even if they draft a receiver early, he won't pay immediate fantasy dividends as he'll be the No. 3 target behind tight end Jimmy Graham and Colston.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Fantasy owners expect the Bucs to select a top wide receiver in the first round. He (Mike Evans?) could develop into a solid WR2 in his rookie season because he'd be the No. 2 target behind only Vincent Jackson. Tampa doesn't have a good receiving tight end. Of course everything assumes that Josh McCown or Mike Glennon play well.
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals
- The Cardinals likely won't draft a fantasy-worthy player, but if they select an offensive lineman that would certainly help Carson Palmer and the offense.
St. Louis Rams
- We can't see the Rams selecting another first-round wide receiver after spending the eighth overall pick on Tavon Austin last season, but some protection for Sam Bradford and a guy who could open holes for Zac Stacy would be appreciated by fantasy owners. A selection of Auburn OT Greg Robinson would make Stacy's fantasy owners smile.
San Francisco 49ers
- The 49ers aren't likely to use many selections on offense, though they might look for depth behind Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin. Still, no one they draft on the offensive side of the ball will be fantasy worthy in 2014.
Seattle Seahawks
- The Super Bowl champions don't need much. Offensive line help to make more holes for Marshawn Lynch and allow Russell Wilson more time in the pocket could be the order of the day.
Next week the AFC.

Truck bursts into flames after wreck
Driver escapes injuries during an I-37 accident
A 43-year-old man escaped seconds before the cab of his wrecked 18-wheeler burst into flames Monday afternoon on Interstate 37 near the McKinzie Road exit.
About 1:45 p.m. Angel Porras, an employee of a trucking company in Hattiesburg, Miss., was northbound on I-37 when another vehicle pulled in front of the truck, police said.
To avoid hitting the vehicle, Porras slammed on the truck's brakes, causing the truck to careen across three lanes of traffic before hitting a concrete barrier.
The fire appeared to start in the engine area, said Corpus Christi Fire Department Battalion Chief Wayne Prall.
Porras did not have any cargo at the time of the incident.
Prall said Porras, who was wearing his seatbelt, was not injured and refused medical treatment at the scene.
"He was able to walk away unharmed," Porras said.
The blue car that Porras told police cut him off in traffic was not located as of late Monday nor was any additional description available.
Police said they did not expect to issue a citation to Porras.
Traffic near that area was slowed and brought down to one lane while fire crews worked to extinguish the flames that ultimately consumed the cab of the truck.
"It was under control within 5 minutes using foam and water," Prall said adding initial calls to a Hazardous Materials Management crews were canceled.
Fire officials also said that because of the extent of the damage to the asphalt, transportation crews would be asked to repave a section of the highway.
