ABSTRACT: Pea albumin 2 (PA2:Mr≈26000) is a major component of the albumin fraction derived from aqueous salt extracts of pea seed. Sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel resolve PA2 into two closely related components (PA2a and PA2b). A cDNA clone coding for one of these components has been sequenced and the deduced amino acid sequence compared with partial, chemically-determined sequences for cyanogen bromide peptides from both PA2 components. Complete amino acid sequences were obtained for the C-terminal peptides. The PA2 molecule of 230 amino acids contains four imperfect repeat sequences each of approximately 57 amino acids in length.The combined sequence data, together with a comparison of PA2-related polypeptides produced in vitro and in vivo, indicate that PA2 is synthesized without a signal sequence and does not undergo significant post-translational modification. Although both forms of PA2 contain Asn-X-Thr consensus sequences, neither form is glycosylated. Accumulation of PA2 contributes approximately 11% of the sulfur-amino acids in pea seeds (cysteine plus methionine equals 2.6 residues percent). Suppression of levels of PA2 polypeptides and their mRNAs in developing seeds of sulfur-deficient plants is less marked than that for legumin, in spite of the lower content of sulfur-amino acids in legumin.Plant Molecular Biology 01/1987; 8(1):37-45.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies in a number of laboratories have characterised many of the properties of a major pea albumin (designated PMA or PA2: subunit Mr∼26 000) which is not readily degraded in the cotyledon upon germination. In the present report, some of the physicochemical properties of this protein have been studied in greater detail. A non-helical structure, stable at high pH, is evident. Of special significance is the presence of a single free sulphydryl group, although studies reported elsewhere show that the protein consists of four copies of a strongly conserved repeated sequence. It is postulated that this free sulphydryl group in PA2 (5–10% of total pea seed protein) causes polymerisation through disulphide interchange and thereby is a likely source of partial insolubility in protein isolates following an initial alkaline extraction.Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 01/1987; 41(2):167 - 178.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
Richard Angwin | 11 Mar 2014 09:47 GMT | Weather
In data stretching back more than 100 years, 2013 was the hottest year on record across Australia. This hardly came as a surprise, as seven of the 10 warmest years on record have all happened since 1998. So the breaking of more than 150 temperature records in the summer just ended was no shock to meteorologists at the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM).Perth: Warmest ever night 29.7C.Adelaide: Hottest February day 44.7C.Queensland: Driest summer on record at 45 locations.Melbourne: Hottest ever 24 hour period with average temperature 35.5C.New South Wales: Driest summer on record at 38 locations.Canberra: 4 days in a row over 39C.The country's Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is a climate skeptic who has moved to abolish a carbon tax designed to combat climate change. But researchers from the BoM and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) are in little doubt that climate change is to blame.A joint study by these organisations reported that temperatures across Australia were, on average, almost 1C higher than they were a century ago."The latest summer was another example of climate change tearing through the record books," said Tim Flannery of the Climate Commission which analyses climate data from across the country."It's not just about one summer but an overall trend to more extreme weather. Things are getting bad and if we want to stop them getting worse this is the critical decade for action. We need to cut the emissions of greenhouse gases and we need to do it urgently."The outlook for the rest of 2014 is not good. It is thought that a developing El Nino event later in the year could result in higher than average temperatures. Drought conditions are also likely to persist in the north and east of the country.

Spring Chicken & Blue Cheese Salad
From EatingWell: March/April 2008, The Simple Art of EatingWell
This main-dish chicken salad has bright flavors of tarragon in a creamy blue cheese dressing with just a touch of sweetness from honey.
Makes: 4 servings, about 2 cups greens & 3 ounces chicken each
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Low cholesterol | Low carbohydrate | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (see Tips)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Creamy Blue Cheese-Tarragon Dressing
- 2 ounces blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1-2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 head butterhead lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 head radicchio, cored and very thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby arugula or mixed baby greens
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted (see Tips) and chopped
This recipe calls for:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To prepare chicken: Combine yogurt, garlic, oil and tarragon in a large bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the bowl; turn to coat. Place the chicken in a baking dish and cover completely with the yogurt mixture.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Thinly slice the chicken when cool enough to handle.
- To prepare dressing: Mash blue cheese, oil, vinegar, tarragon and honey together in a medium bowl with a fork until well combined. For a creamier dressing, add yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time, if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble salad: Gently toss lettuce, radicchio and arugula (or mixed greens) in a large bowl. Divide the greens among 4 plates, top with equal portions of the chicken, spoon 2 tablespoons of the dressing over each salad and sprinkle with walnuts.
Tips & Notes
- Tips: Thick and creamy Greek-style yogurt is made by removing the whey from cultured milk. Because the whey has been removed, you can cook with Greek yogurt without the normal separation that occurs when cooking with regular yogurt.
- To toast whole nuts, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes.

Lung Cancer Surgery
In this article
Surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer or NSCLC. Unfortunately, most patients who have advanced or metastatic disease are not suitable for surgery.
People who have NSCLC that has not spread can usually tolerate surgery provided they have adequate lung function.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: When You Need More Than One Treatment
"We work in a team when it comes to planning care for a lung cancer patient," says Steven E. Schild, MD, professor and chairman of the department of radiation oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz. This means that you will be working with one or more of the following specialists: Pulmonologist – a lung specialist Medical Oncologist – a doctor who specializes in cancer treatments Thoracic Surgeon – a doctor who specializes in chest surgery Radiation Oncologist – a doctor who...
Read the Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: When You Need More Than One Treatment article > >
A portion of a lobe, a full lobe, or an entire lung may be removed. The extent of removal depends on the size of the tumor, its location, and how far it has spread.
A technique called cryosurgery is sometimes used for NSCLC. In cryosurgery, the tumor is frozen, which destroys it. This treatment is mainly reserved for patients who can't tolerate traditional surgery.
Despite complete surgical removal, a large proportion of patients with early stage cancer have recurrence of cancer.
Surgery is not widely used in SCLC. Because SCLC spreads widely and rapidly through the body, removing it all by surgery is usually impossible.
An operation for lung cancer is major surgery. Many people experience pain, weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath after surgery. Most have problems moving around, coughing, and breathing deeply. The recovery period can be several weeks or even months.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a less invasive type of surgery that is used when possible for the treatment of early stage NSCLC. Recovery from this type of surgery is usually quicker than with traditional surgery.

VIEWS: 22 PAGES: 2 CATEGORY: Arbitration or Mediation Agreement POSTED ON: 8/12/2011 Public Domain
Cell Phone Text Messaging Cell phone text messaging is exploding worldwide. If you have been struggling to keep your cell phone bill under control, rather than change your plan again, you may consider using the text messaging feature available on almost all mobile phones. You will join the ranks of billions of cell phone text messaging users around the world and maybe even have a little fun in the process. Usage of the text messaging feature has seen explosive growth. Statistics show that by June of 2004, an average of 100 text messages per person had been sent globally. Text messaging is a quick, convenient, and discrete way to keep in contact with your friends and loved ones that will keep you from burning extra minutes in your cell phone plan each month. Text messaging is also known as SMS, or short message service, in the technical world. Cell phone users simply refer to them as text messages, or texts. And the popularity of the service has increased three fold over the past year in the United States alone. SMS permits the sending and receipt of text messages between cell phones and other handheld devices, such as PDAs. Sending a text message to someone's phone is pretty simple. You simply choose the messaging feature on your cell phone, input the recipient's phone number, and then type your message. Once you are finished typing your message, then you simply choose the send option and your message is sent. Many plans even allow you to send messages from your phone directly to an email address. In case you are wondering, text messaging is usually a pretty affordable feature. Mobile phone companies may charge $0.10 or less per text message to send and receive text messages. This does not count towards your minutes usage and there is no additional charge. To save even more when you use this feature, you may choose to add on a text messaging package to your current cell phone plan. Most text plans are relatively inexpensive and can be added for as little as $2.99, depending on how many messages you plan to send each month. Check with your cell phone carrier for messaging plans offered for your cell phone. Cell phone companies count all messages that you send or receive, whether you read them or not. Messages can be up to 160 characters in length. If you receive a longer message, each 160 characters counts as a separate text message. You can also use the text messaging feature on your cell phone to receive news alerts, ringtones, and more. However, this is normally classified as premium content and requires a subscription, which is an additional charge. You may have even seen where many companies and television programs are using text messaging for entertainment purposes, such as voting and entering competitions. It is also used by many to play interactive games. You should keep in mind that you are charged extra for using text messaging in this manner, though. So go ahead, start cell phone text messaging instead of idly wasting your cell phone minutes on things that can be said just as easily, and more cheaply, using text messaging.

Great Live Moments - Dee Dee BridgewaterSubmitted by jjackson on Fri, 2008-04-18 09:29
It has been amazing to know Dee Dee Bridgewater, and an honor to hear her read my name occasionally in the credits for JazzSet. And what an artistic career! Her latest recording, "Red Earth," a collaboration with Malian musicians, is just another reminder of how truly hip she is.
Long before she was the host of NPR's JazzSet (a program lovingly produced here at WBGO), Dee Dee Bridgewater was a part of our annual New Year's Eve coast-to-coast celebration, Toast of the Nation. From the ballroom at the Grand Hyatt in New York, Bridgewater greeted 1996 on the East Coast with music from her then recent recording, Love and Peace: A Tribute to Horace Silver.
Listen to Dee Dee Bridgewater sing "Song for My Father," from the WBGO Archives.
Great Live Moments - Fred HerschSubmitted by bpulliam on Thu, 2008-04-17 14:16
Fred Hersch has been a friend of WBGO for at least twenty years. He was in Jane Ira Bloom's group when we recorded her at Citicorp Center for a series called Jazz at the Market (host was the Rev. John Garcia Gensel of St. Peter's Church). I remember that Fred and Jane had brought a piano tuner, but the Center didn't want their tuner to touch the piano. I was disappointed, and learning on the job. Fred was .. well, if not incensed, he was at least insulted.
Fred was part of a concert at Town Hall with MC Steve Allen (the TV personality, dating all the way back to the first Tonight Show). As Steve Allen was telling stories and getting into it, he turned to Fred and asked for "a little something underneath this;" on demand, Fred played the perfect "patter" music.
But Fred wasn't born for that role. From his earliest time in New York, he belonged in top groups. He was a sideman for leaders a generation or more his senior, such as Joe Henderson - from Ohio, like Fred.
At the Iowa City Jazz Festival in the 1990s, I remember Fred getting onstage and talking about funding cuts coming to the National Endowment for the Arts. He wanted me to do that with him, and I didn't. His political passion took me by surprise.
Fred studied with Sophia Rosoff (as did Barry Harris, a revered teacher in New York, who shows pianists how to produce sound through the keys by relaxing. Ethan Iverson of The Bad Plus was one of Fred's many many students.
The 1986 group must have been one of his first. Dick Oatts was on sax, Randy Brecker on trumpet, although they stepped aside for the ballad "Con Alma."

WBGO staffers have big love for vibraphonist Milt Jackson. Among the monumental contributions to jazz music, "Bags" turned a set of percussive steel bars into a more versatile jazz instrument. His was an altogether different sound for the vibraharp, sonically more warm and mellow than his predecessors, Lionel Hampton and Red Norvo. Milt Jackson made the vibes sing.
It's no wonder that Milt Jackson was himself a singer, a teenaged tenor in a gospel group, The Evangelist Singers, in his Detroit hometown. He loved the sound of the voice, and he accompanied many singers throughout his career. One of his last records was Sa Va Bella (For Lady Legends), a tribute to the leading ladies of jazz that Milt Jackson loved so much - Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Etta Jones.
WBGO recorded Milt Jackson's Quartet in the summer of 1996. The concert was part of the Oris Spirit of Jazz concert series (of which we are still proudly associated). Mike LeDonne is the pianist, Peter Washington the bassist, and Mickey Roker the drummer.

Thad Jones and Mel Lewis created one of the most enduring rituals in New York. They started a big band in 1966, one that included some of the most gifted composers and improvisers in the city, many of whom were making their living as studio professionals or in Broadway pit bands. Max Gordon at the Village Vanguard booked them for three consecutive Monday evenings, and the rest is history. Both Jones and Lewis are gone, but the spirit of their music (as well as the original compositions and arrangements from their bands) continues with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
Every February, the VJO plays a weeklong showcase at the Vanguard. On the thirty fourth anniversary of the band, WBGO recorded the group on Monday night, of couse. As it happened, that was Valentine's Day, 2000.
We'll feature "Samba Con Getchu," a composition from Bob Brookmeyer, one of the early members of the Thad Jones - Mel Lewis Orchestra. The VJO included Jay Brandford, Ralph Lalama, Dick Oatts, Rich Perry, Gary Smulyan, Saxophones / Glenn Drewes, Earl Gardner, Joe Mosello, Scott Wendholt, Trumpets / Luis Bonilla, Jason Jackson, John Mosca, Douglas Purviance, Trombones / Ted Rosenthal, Piano / Dennis Irwin, Bass / John Riley, Drums
Great Live Moments - Al Grey and Buddy TateSubmitted by jjackson on Mon, 2008-04-14 01:52
When I listen to swing music these days, I love it with a sense of loss, a disconnect. Nearly all of the swing legends are gone. This music has the feeling of a time that no longer exists, not that it ever did for me. I had to find it. Twenty-six years ago, however, swing still had some traction in our culture.
I would like to put myself back in that time. I'd be the coolest eight year old in the world, digging the scene at Sweet Basil. Trombonist Al Grey and saxophonist Buddy Tate are playing "Undecided." I can't believe I'm hearing this.
Chances are, however, I was anticipating the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller, which came out in records stores the week after this recording was made.
As I listen to this performance from the WBGO Archives, I am reminded of the vitality of the swing era, and that the music still had resonance in 1982. Count Basie was still alive. So were a number of his associates. Tate was one of them. Grey another. Tate was the tenor player that had the unenviable task of replacing Herschel Evans in Basie's band. Al Grey joined Basie much later, but he had previous stints with Benny Carter and Lionel Hampton. These were swing men through and through.
So much seems different now. By the end of 1982, Time Magazine declared the computer as Man of the Year, the first-ever distinction for an object. These real men are gone, except for their music. Here I am in 2008, writing a blog entry on my laptop, trying to get closer to an analog era. How do I feel about it? Decidedly Undecided. All I know is that it's easy to get lost in ones and zeros, better to be found alive, and even greater to be swung....Tempus fugit, baby.

Saxophonist Jimmy Heath, drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath, and the late bassist/cellist Percy Heath were jazz family long before the Marsalis clan. Separately, the sum of their music making covers the totality of modern jazz - Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, the Modern Jazz Quartet. I could go on and on, but enough already! Together, the Heath Brothers were a cohesive jazz combo that brought their collective experience to the stage to form their own brand of brotherly jazz.
WBGO has recorded a number of Heath Brothers performances. They include a beautiful recording from New Jersey Performing Arts Center's Prudential Hall, as well as a club date at Iridium. And that's just during my seven year tenure at the station! In 1984, WBGO recorded The Heath Brothers on New Year's Eve. December 31, 1984 at Sweet Basil in New York. The pianist was Stanley Cowell.
Check out the Heath Brothers playing "Sleeves" from the WBGO Archives.

Live at the Village Vanguard - Adam Rogers QuintetSubmitted by jjackson on Thu, 2008-04-10 09:27
The Village Vanguard is is one of my favorite places in New York. With that simple statement, it gives me great pleasure to introduce WBGO's newest adventure. We're starting a monthly concert series from the legendary jazz club. Our eventual plan is to air the shows live on WBGO, and stream them simultaneously on NPR's Music site. Last night, we took the first of many baby steps.
Guitarist Adam Rogers made his debut as a leader at the Vanguard, and we recorded our initial show for this series. An evening of "firsts," so to speak.
Here's the basic information:
Adam Rogers, guitar
Mark Turner, tenor
Edward Simon, piano
Scott Colley, bass
Jeff "Tain" Watts, drums
Set List:
Long Ago and Far Away
Recorded 4/8/08
Listen to the concert now.
Check out some photos I took during the soundcheck.
We also recorded the second set. Someday you'll get to hear that, too! Stay tuned to the blog for more information about WBGO's new series, Live at the Village Vanguard.
Great Live Moments - Steps AheadSubmitted by jjackson on Wed, 2008-04-09 22:37
The group Steps Ahead came together in 1979, but their debut album did not arrive until 1983. By that time, Steps had created a potent form of fusion. WBGO recorded an early version of the band in the summer of 1982, during the now-defunct Kool Jazz Festival. Vibraphonist Mike Maineri (photographed above) was the leader, and the lineup included some heavy hitters - drummer Peter Erskine, bassist Eddie Gomez, pianist Don Grolnick, and saxophonist Michael Brecker. Brecker was already a star, even though he had not yet recorded a solo effort (and would not for nearly five more years...strange but true...). Steps Ahead became a group that people in and out of jazz noticed, and a lot of young talent got an early lift from being in the band
(pianist Eliane Elias comes to mind).
Check out Steps Ahead playing "Islands," from the WBGO Archives.
Great Live Moments - Abbey LincolnSubmitted by jjackson on Tue, 2008-04-08 11:02
Abbey Lincoln is proof that a rose by any other name smells as sweet. The reigning diva of jazz has had more than a few names over the years. She was born Anna Marie Wooldridge. Her earliest professional names include Gaby Wooldridge and Gaby Lee. For eight years, she was legally Mrs. Max Roach. The cultural minister of Zaire bestowed the name Aminata Moseka.
Abbey Lincoln has certainly earned the right of the great singers in our music, those who need only one name. Billie. Sarah. Ella. Carmen. Betty. Abbey.
For decades, Ms. Lincoln has also been the poet laureate of jazz. Her songs have expressed the essential components of a life unfolding, the sum of our strengths and vulnerabilities. That which makes us human. What's right and what's wrong with us. What we have done. What we can do better.
WBGO recorded Abbey Lincoln at Iridium in New York, October 1996. Marc Cary is the pianist, Michael Bowie the bassist, Aaron Walker the drummer.
Listen to Abbey Lincoln sing "Bird Alone," from the WBGO Archives.
Great Live Moments - Harold MabernSubmitted by jjackson on Mon, 2008-04-07 07:37
It's a Memphis Monday, courtesy of Harold Mabern. WBGO has recorded pianist Harold Mabern as a member of George Coleman's quartet. We've also recorded Mabern's own quartet at American Museum of Natural History.
Check out this version of Harold Mabern's trio, recorded in 1984 at Citicorp Center in New York. Bassist Jamil Nasser (like Mabern, a Memphis native) and drummer Frank Gant, two veteran trio performers (check out those Ahmad Jamal records!) make the trio. They play "Ray's Idea," a song composed by bassist Ray Brown and Walter "Gil" Fuller during the heyday of Dizzy Gillespie's big band.

Please review this chapter as well!
I forgot to tell you guys this is a lime. I wrote it as a lime since I started writing it on paper because he's 18 and its all about that so you have been warned.
Another Alice Story
Talk to me, Talk to me
"Alice loves you Blood yes she does, when you get older she's going to marry you, yah" Alice sang rocking baby Blood back and forth. "Alice that doesn't rhyme" Vivaldi said staring at her trying to put her little brother asleep.
"It doesn't have to rhyme all I have to do is sing and he'll smile la, la, la, la, la, I love you Bloooood" she sang again. She was still rocking Blood to sleep but he was being so stubborn, he didn't want too. "What do you expect! Every time he falls asleep you magically disappear" Vivaldi said.
"I'm sorry I leave you Blood but I have to go home and do other stuff" she sang. Baby Blood was just staring at Alice with his wide emerald eyes, holding his bunny doll. "Has my lover said his first words yet?" Alice asked her future sister in law.
"Nope, he's only nine months old Alice" Viv said.
"Well how old does he have to be?"
"Between 9 and 12 I guess" she said.
"Well he's of age I'ma teach him his first words"
"Hold on Mom told me to record you whenever you try and teach him something" Viv said grabbing the video camera. She turned it on and started recording.
"What are you going to make him say? Mommy?" Viv said.
"Ew I'm not his Mother, I'm his Lover. I'm going to make him say 'I love you'" Alice said.
"That's to long"
"Fine then love you is good enough" she said and looked at Blood.
"Speak" she said to him.
He cocked his head to the side.
"He's not a dog Alice" Viv said.
"Shhh! Now Blood I love you and I need to hear you say you love me too okay" she said.
He blinked.
"Good" she said.
"He only blinked! Doesn't mean he understands!" Viv said.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Alice yelled at Vivaldi. She was clearly getting irritated with Vivaldi's little remarks. Right when those words left her mouth little Blood started laughing.
"Aw Blood you like it when I yell at your sister" Alice cooed at Blood. "Your are so lucky your holding my brother right now" Viv said tightening the grip on the video camera.
"Please stop talking now Viv I'm trying to have a conversation with your little brother" Alice said. Viv huffed.
"Blood I love you" she said.
"Gomabaumaru" Blood blabbled.
"No I love you, love you"
"Gaburu u" he spoke again…I think.
"Love you"
"luuuuf u" he said.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Alice screamed.
"I GOT IT! I GOT IT ON TAPE!" Viv yelled after her.
"ALICE LOVES YOU BLOOD" Alice said and giggled.
Blood Dupre
Age: 9 Months

|ESPN: SportsNation
Hi everyone. Can you believe it? Training camps start in all four NFC North cities this week. Let's jump right in and see what's on your minds...
Kevin, how close are B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews to signing with the Packers?
Nothing is imminent on either front, from what I understand. But that's not a big deal at this point. Much of that work can get done this week.
Kevin, you going to be at Packers training camp anytime soon?
Yep, as of now they're scheduled to be my second stop. Can't reveal exact dates because of the expected crush of celebrity photographers. (Sarcasm alert.)
With camp a week away, any updates on Nick Collins contract status? Also there are varying reports on Nick Barnett's health - I've read that he's ready to start right now, but I've also read he could start training camp on the PUP list?? What say you KS.
Nothing at all on Collins, but like the first-rounders, that kind of work can happen this week. I don't think he necessarily needs a deal done before camp. I think he was just looking for indications that they would eventually get to him. As for Barnett, I don't have any huge insight on that, but it would be pretty normal for him to open training camp on a limited basis. Sometimes the PUP is the best thing for everyone.
With a burtal opening schedule, how likely is it that Stafford gets the nod as starter after the week 7 bye. 93.758? The Rams would be a good first opponent...
Interesting. The only prediction I'm making now is that Stafford won't be the opening-day starter. Too early to see beyond that.
Barring injury and considering both have good years, will Ray Edwards or Chad Greenway be the first to sign an extension?
I would say Greenway in a heartbeat. Ray Edwards still has a lot to prove.
Favre did a commercial with Sears mocking his own waffling. Why would Favre do a commercial with Sears about indecisive guys and then not sign with the vikings? If he didn't sign wouldn't the message be "consider Sears before doing somehtring else.."? I beleive whole-heartedly that this deal is done. Favre will be the starting QB in Minnesota in 09. What do you think about my theory Kevin?
Very interesting take. My understanding is that Sears did several alternative endings for the commercial so that they line up with whatever Favre ultimately decides to do. They're not running until September, apparently.
How do you think Favre will announce his decision? Press conference, exclusive to Rachel Nichols, local paper, text message, twitter?
I was talking to someone about that today. I doubt we'll see him in Minnesota before Thursday at the earliest, so I don't think he'll do a separate press conference before then. I just hope the story comes sooner than later.
How much stock do you put into preseason games as a way to predict how a teams season will go? It seems like lots of teams that go 4-0 struggle in the regular season.
After the Lions last year, N-O-N-E.
Hey Kev, so, I have been wondering, I heard a while back that Marvin Harrison might be interested in joining the Vikings if (when) Brett Favre does. Is there any validity to these claims? If it does happen, how do you think this would change the dynamic of our offence, having him, along with Berrian, Rice, Harvin and Shianco catching passes from Favre?
I have not heard one credible source say Harrison is anywhere close to singing with the Vikings. I think they're pretty well stacked at this point.
Vikings go from #14 to #9? I'm a Bears fan and I'm excited for Favre to land in Minny. Know why? In the NYJ's last 5 games last year (vs. DEN, @SF, vsBUF, @SEA, vsMIA) they went 1-4 while BF threw 2 TD's and 9 INT's. Minny's stretch run this year with a BF that is one year older, is @ARZ, vsCIN, @CAR, @CHI, vsNYG to finish the season. The Vikes better be 10-1 going into those final weeks or they are in serious trouble, just sayin, this guy is old.
You're right. He's slipped at the end of the season in each of the past four years. But I'm not a voter for the power rankings so I don't have to defend them anymore!! Seriously, one way to look at it is to see what the Vikings did with Gus Frerotte last season. They were 8-3. That's how good the rest of their team is. So the question is, how much better could they be with 16 games of Favre?
How much of a dope am I going to look like when Brett doesn't show up to camp until late next week? You know and I know Favre thinks he knows the offense and doesn't want to sit through another TC.
I've wondered about that, and I'm not the only one. But luckily, your camp is one of the shortest in the NFL: Less than two weeks. I think he can make it.
the new power rankings list the Vikings, Bears and Packers at 9, 13 and 17 respectively. I think that undoubtedly the packers have the most solid team in the North, do you think these rankings are legit?
For the most part. I think everyone is just waiting to see how the Packers' defensive transition comes along. It's a big question mark that is going to take some time to sort out. That's why they're almost exactly in the middle of the NFL pack right now.
Do you think the waiving of Charles Gordon has any impact on the signing of Favre?
No. I just don't think he's ready to play after that terrible injury last year. That's Gordon, not Favre.
I'm extremely concerned about the situation the Packers would be in if Aaron Rodgers goes down. So far, Brian Brohm is a complete bust and, though I admire Matt Flynn as a gamer and a competitor, I doubt he could lead the Packers to a victory if he had to. Your thoughts?
It's a huge risk, in my opinion, and one that they got lucky on last year as Rodgers played 16 games. They would be a much, much different team without Rodgers as it stands right now.
In your blog, you compared the Vikes and Bears "aging" defenses. You mentioned that Dvorcek would start, but everyone in Bearland is saying it's Harrison's job to lose. That would put the Bears average age even lower. What makes you think Dusty will start?
Yeah, that might have been an oversight on my part. I can't really make an argument for why Dvoracek should be the guy.
There is a strange dynamic between Bears fans and Packer fans, we've never agreed on anything, but when it comes to Favre it seems both sides don't think he will be the "key" for the Vikings. In fact, Bears fans are salivating at the idea of Favre going to the Vikings and I as a Packer fan am almost wanting this to happen now because I think the Vikings will take a step backward this year. If the Favre experiment doesn't work out it seems to me the Vikings may be irrelavent for years to come? How big of a gamble is this for the Vikings?
It's a gamble, but I still think he's better than the alternative. But if you happen to have, say, the Bears' pass defense in your fantasy league, you're probably excited about the possibility of a few INTs.
What are the most probable stadium scenarios for the Vikings going into the 2011 season? The Dome lease is up before or after the 2011 season?
After 2011. Beyond that, anything is in play. To this point, however, the NFL doesn't seem to be behind the LA efforts of Ed Roski. So I don't know if the Vikings will have much leverage unless the economy improves.
KS, what's your take on Vick, and do you see any NFC North teams going after him? The man did a disgusting deed, but he's still an NFL QB. I would LOVE if the Packers would sign Vick just to throw in an extra addition to their offense.
Interesting. I don't think anyone is really knocking Vick's door down at this point. Not sure that the Packers would have interest. But if, say, Jay Cutler went down in Chicago, would the Bears consider Vick? I'm guessing they wouldn't rule it out.
Hey Kev, Regarding the metrodome situation for the vikings, what will happen when the lease expires? Its not like the metrodome is going anywhere right? In theory could they just renew the lease there?
Sure, but I doubt they want to do that without an assurance that another building is on the way.
There is a lot of back and forth bickering in the NFCN blogs about the affect that the Favre waffeling is having in the Vikings locker room. Got any comments on that?
It won't be a big deal unless he shows up to camp late. And even then, the players will get over it. They know he is likely to make them better.
Who has a better chance of winning their division Cubs or Bears?
Haven't been following the Cubs much, but I'll go with the Bears. Too likely that Soriano will drop a fly ball with the division the line.
Kevin, glad to see you back from your vacation. There are a lot of us GB fans that are very nervous about how the 3-4 is coming along. Will that be a main focus for you as well as the O-line during your time at Pack camp?
It'll be No. 1 on the list, followed by the offensive line and the backup QB situation.
Something besides Stafford and the record...How does the Lion's secondary look to you. Buchanon was a good pickup and Delmas could be the real deal, but what about the rest?
I like Delmas as well. Anthony Henry could be the No. 2 corner, and then there are about five veterans who could win the other safety job. I think they've got a chance to be decent back there, but they'll need some pass rushing help from the linebackers.
Do you think that Brian Urlacher is still a dominant force at MLB? I think hes beginning to slip off a bit, and if not, is there any way you see him reclaiming his top LB status this year?
I don't see him as a dominant player anymore, no. And I doubt I'm alone on that. But I do think he can still be part of a very successful defense if the Bears can figure out a way to revitalize their defensive line.
You posted my question and never answered it =(You must be a Vikings fan.
Whoops. Sorry about that.
Any insight as to whether Jermichael Finley or Pat lee will be able to step up their games and make an impact with the Packers this this? I have heard Finley has worked hard this past offseason but have heard little on Lee.
I think the Packers are hoping Finley makes huge strides and is their starting tight end by the end of the year. Lee is going to be stuck behind a lot of veterans for another year.
Okay; theoretical situation: Lets say Favre gets picked up, Sage and Booty stay on the roster, T-Jack gets dropped. Do you see T-Jack getting picked up by another team and if so which one?
No, and that's why I think it's kind of sad that he might see a trade if the Vikings sign Favre. The one guy in the league that believes in him -- Childress -- is trying to replace him. If J.P. Losman had to go to the UFL, then I don't see where an NFL job would be for Jackson if not with Minnesota.
Hi Kevin, glad you're back. Is Jolly a goner?
I don't think so. The trial is going back to square one.
I know this is not an NFC East chat, but I am still in shock that Jim Johnson will not be the defensive coordinator for the Eagles. Have you heard anything about his replacement from your NFL co-writers?
A lot of teams were interested in McDermott but the Eagles blocked him from interviewing. Now you know why. He's pretty well respected.
do you agrea what the reporter that calvin in randy moss jr
Yes. I think he's a very badd man. (And I mean that in a good way.)
Do you honestly believe that jones wouldnt sign m.vick if given an opportunity..he says no..but we all know j.jones will do things to "shock the world"
Yeah, you would think he learned his lesson from Pacman Jones and Terrell Owens, but maybe not.
With the drafting of Harvin and the progress of Jaymar Johnson do you see the team letting Bobby Wade go to Gain some salary cap space? Ibelieve he is overpaid anyway.
Not necessarily for cap purposes, but I wonder where he'll get his playing time if Harvin is as good as everyone thinks he is.
Kevin, it's been way to long brother!! I'm closing down a funeral and I'm starving...know what it's time for??
If you made the call for the limited 1st reps in practice would you develop Percy Harvin with a 1. Reggie Bush Jack of all trades Plan or 2. Steve Smith Starting WR for base sets plan?
I would go with the Bush scenario, especially in the rookie year.
You seem to be the only one who believes that Favre's indecision is based on not wanting to attend training camp rather than a change of heart. Is there any basis to your thought (sources) or is it just a gut feeling?
That's a fair question. It's mostly based on gut. Favre has made some comments about the rigors of training camp in recent years, and he also has talked about how well he knows the Vikings offense. I'm not even saying that's what's going on. But to me it's something to consider.
How much does Chicago miss me?
Well, the Bears haven't been the same since.
Hey... can I play catch with Jay Cutler?
Doesn't seem like it's in the cards at this point.
As a Bears fan, I may be a little biased, but do you think some people are over exaggerating the Bears receiving corps? It's not like they don't know how to catch a football and run, and plus, who knew who Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal were before they caught some passes from Cutler?
I guess that's fair in some respects. Certainly players can come out of nowhere. But is that an exception or a rule. Earl Bennett had no catches last year. Is it fair to expect him to come through with 50 this year? I don't know. Iglesias or Knox could conceivably do what Royal did as a rookie last year, but historically Royal was the exception for rookie receivers. I think everyone would feel better if there was at least one more proven commodity to compete with Bennett for a starting job. And don't say Rashied Davis.
A lot of rookie receivers don't fare very well, do you think Percy Harvin could have a DeSean Jackson-like impact or a dud like the Redskins wr's last year?
That jibes with the previous question. Harvin has a better chance to do what Jackson did because he could contribute on special teams right away.
Is there a legit NFC north team that can honestly compete for the title even when there's quarterback problems with every team?
I wouldn't agree with that. I don't see a problem in Chicago or Green Bay at that position. In fact, we have a potential QB renaissance on our hands in this division. I'll be hitting that in more detail tomorrow.
Am I being completely silly to think that Jeff George would be a better backup in Green Bay and Chicago than the current backups?
Jeff George hasn't thrown an NFL pass in eight years. I enjoyed covering him when he was with Minnesota, but I think his career is over.
I didn't make my decision early just to give y'all something to talk about during the offseason.
Well, I've talked so much my throat is raw and typed so much my fingers are calloused. Thanks.
What are you most looking forward to this year in the NFC North?
Three of the four teams are trying to upgrade at quarterback. I'm really interested to see who succeeds and who doesn't. And don't forget, the Vikings opted not to pursue Jay Cutler. I wonder how that decision will look in a year and beyond.
Hey, any chance i'm getting a call to head down to bourbonnais il
I'm guessing the Bears will want to at least see what they have in the young guys before pursuing any veteran solutions.
which player has the most to prove this year in Vikings training camp? I think that with the departure of Sharper it's Tyrell Johnson. maybe not, since there's no one else on the roster to take the spot if he falters... maybe Sidney Rice, he was underwhelming last year.
I'd say John Sullivan, the replacement for Matt Birk. Center is obviously a key position, and Sullivan wasn't exactly a household name entering the 2008 draft. (He was a sixth-round pick from Notre Dame.)
Other than the praise given to Jaymar Johnson by the world's best receiver....can you add anything as to his all of a sudden evolution?
He's definitely getting talked up by a lot of people, in part because he put on about 15 pounds of muscle this offseason and had been working pretty hard. But I have a hard time figuring out where he fits in as far as playing time goes.
You don't think T Jack would be interested in the Packers and vice versa after getting thrown under the bus in Minny?
I don't know that the Packers would have interest. They've seen him as often as anyone else over the years.
It seems like Aaron Kampman has been terse with reports this year. Have you spoken with him this year, and if so, how's he seemed to you? Is he really bothered by the transition to linebacker or is he bothered by people asking him about it?
By the time I got there in minicamp, he had lightened up a bit. I'm sure he would prefer playing defensive end, but I don't think he's livid, either. He's just trying to figure things out and didn't want to comment until he had something definitive to say about it.
There has been some talk around ESPN that Vikings at this point should go after Vick over Farve what do you think?
Not on this end of ESPN... I don't see the Wilfs ever signing Vick.
Is McCarthy on the hot seat if the switch to the 3-4 flops this year?
There's two ways to look at that. One is to say yes, and that this change has to make them better. The other is to say that he might have bought himself an extra year or two because in reality it takes time to make this transition.
will greg jennings or calvin johnson have a better year?
That's what started our Have at It series last year. If you mean better in terms of pure stats, I'll go with Johnson. But Jennings will help the Packers win more games.
You're hanging over a pit of sharks, slowly descending towards the water. The evil villain says "Mr. Seifert, all I want to know is, who will win the NFC North?" What do you answer?
I think I would wait for the Mystery Machine to show up so Scooby-Doo could save me. Then the evil villain would say, "You're lucky, Seifert. If it weren't for these meddling kids you would have had to pick an NFC North winner!"
Two items of concern regarding Brett Favre if I'm a Viking fan. 1) The west coast offense is as much about reading receivers as it is knowing the plays. How is Favre's decision to miss OTA's and possibly part of camp going to affect his chemistry with the receiving corps and 2) Brett Favre's rebirth in 2007 came after a rigorous offseason conditioning program where he reportedly was in the best shape of his life. The previous 2 years he came in a little heavy and the results on the field weren't great. What kind of shape will he be in after an offseason of waffles and surgery?
I think the conditioning thing would be a legitimate concern. Working out in cargo shorts and sunglasses isn't exactly the same as OTAs.
I personally think that Marcus Mccauley has better coverage skills than Ced Griffin, do you think that the Vikings are making a mistake letting Ced start bc he is the better tackler?
No. Other than the early part of his rookie year, I've never seen Marcus McCauley do anything to suggest he should be an NFL starter.
do you think that peterson will rush for 2000 yards this season?
No, but that hardly means he won't have a good season.
Is anyone at ESPN checking out the flight status in Hattisburg lately? I think we can figure out when Favre is heading to MIN based on the traffic out of the airport..http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KPIB
Maybe, but regardless of when he signs I think he won't be up in Minnesota until camp starts.
Don't you mean "Jennings has better teammates, which means Jennings' team will win more games"?
Partly, but I also think Jennings is a pretty good gamer in his own right. Nothing against Johnson. Just some savvy that Johnson is still learning.
I know we went ovre this a lot several months ago, but what will the Vikings do about the FB position now that they've drafted harvin? Will Tahi still get the 1yd checkdown and lead blocking role?
I'll be interesting to see. As you probably know, I'm at a loss to explain the importance of Tahi/the fullback in this Vikings offense.
How come some questions get posted but not answered? Are you just getting as caught up in the excitement as we are? =)
That shouldn't be happening. I'll have to check with the tech people.
Ok, one more question here.
Jared Allen comes off as an interesting and insightful guy. He's certainly my favorite personality in the NFL right now. Who's the most interesting person you have talked to in the NFC North?
Allen is up there. So is Mike Brown, the former Bears safety.
And one bonus question.
If you say the Lions secondary is MUCH improved, but they need help from their linebackers, don't you think the new linebacking core is the biggest upgrade on the team? That said, with the revamping of the secondary and the linebackers, don't you think the Lions have a shot (not guaranteed, but a shot) at being in the upper half of defenses in the league????
Yes, the linebacking corps is much improved. But unless the defensive line does a better job of stopping the run, I think the Lions defense will still struggle.
OK everyone, thanks for participating. Next week's chat will probably be at a different time. I'll make sure to update you in plenty of time.

In the hierarchy of UK punk rock debuts, Damned Damned Damned ranks behind only Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols and The Clash in terms of its impact on the music world. The trio of bands behind those albums ushered in the first generation of punk, like motley pied pipers attracting misfit followers everywhere they played. Those not fortunate enough to catch these groups live must have been astonished when, in 1977, all these great new records began popping up in the bins. Sure, the Pistols started the whole thing, and the Clash were the Clash. The first albums from those two groups were great, and everybody knows it. Amazingly, the Damned's debut has hovered just below the radar for these last three decades. While it couldn't exactly be called obscure, Damned Damned Damned deserves to be regarded as a true classic, must-have record alongside the others. Castle's three-CD 30th Anniversary Expanded Edition of the album should help this cause considerably. This is a beautiful package, full of pictures, essays, interviews and detailed track information. The arrangement of the material is smart, too. Disc one contains the original album, and nothing more. All of the bonus material comes on the bonus discs.
