The Patriots appeared to have locked up their final rookie. ProFootballTalk.com reports that the Patriots have come to terms with first-round draft pick Dont'a Hightower, the last of their unsigned draft picks. The terms of the deal were not known at this point. New England drafted Hightower with their second of two first-round picks at this year's draft, taking the Alabama linebacker with the 25th pick. The Pats also took defensive end Chandler Jones out of Syracuse with their first pick at No. 21. Both Hightower and Jones are expected by many to contribute right away on the New England...

BP executive defends spill response tacticsOctober 2nd, 2013 by Michael Kunzelman in Earth / Environment
In this Monday July 12, 2010 image from video made available by BP PLC, oil flows out of the top of the transition spool, which was placed into the gushing wellhead and will house the new containment cap, at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The federal trial over the 2010 BP oil spill resumed Monday, Sept. 30, 2013, with a focus on the company's response to the disaster, with millions of dollars at stake as the two sides argue over how much oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico. (AP Photo/BP PLC, File)
A BP executive who led the company's efforts to halt its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico testified Tuesday that his decisions were guided by the principle that they shouldn't do anything that could make the crisis even worse.
James Dupree, BP's first witness for the second phase of a trial over the deadly disaster, said his teams worked simultaneously on several strategies for killing the well that blew out in April 2010.
Dupree said the company decided in mid-May that it wasn't ready to employ the capping strategy. He also said he was concerned that it could jeopardize other efforts to seal the well.
"We were very intent not to make the situation worse," said Dupree, who was promoted to BP's regional president for the Gulf of Mexico after the spill was stopped. Dupree is scheduled to resume his testimony Wednesday.
BP's trial adversaries have argued that the company could have stopped the spill much earlier than July 15 if it had used the capping strategy.
Earlier on Tuesday, an employee of the company that owned the doomed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig testified that he was surprised when BP scrapped the capping strategy his team had devised and never heard an explanation for the decision.
"We were so close. We had come a long way," said Robert Turlak, Transocean's manager of subsea engineering and well control systems.
During the first few weeks after the spill, engineers focused on two methods for stopping the flow of oil: Capping the well was one option. The other, called "top kill," involved pumping drilling mud and other material into the Deepwater Horizon rig's blowout preventer.
BP ultimately used a capping stack to stop the spill July 15 after several other methods failed.
Turlak's team was working on a strategy that was called "BOP-on-BOP" because it lowered a second blowout preventer on top of the rig's failed one. He called it the "obvious solution" and said it was ready for installation in early June.
But BP concluded it wasn't a viable option because it could have made the situation worse and hampered other strategies if it failed. BP said the capping stack that later sealed the well was specifically designed to land on the well system above the blowout preventer.
BP employed the "top kill" method in May 2010, but it didn't stop the flow of oil. The company says its adversaries have ignored evidence that the "BOP-on-BOP" option wasn't approved or ready for safe installation before "top kill."
The trial's second phase opened Monday with claims that BP ignored decades of warnings about the risks of a deep-water blowout and withheld crucial information about the size of the spill. Plaintiffs' lawyers claim BP knew the "top kill" strategy was doomed based on higher flow rate estimates that the company didn't share with federal officials at the time.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who is presiding over the trial without a jury, also heard videotaped testimony Tuesday by a manager employed by cement contractor Halliburton. Richard Vargo, who assisted on the top kill attempts, said he didn't learn until later that BP didn't believe the procedure would work given the high flow rates.
"I'm pretty angry," Vargo said, choking back tears.
The trial's first phase, which ended in April, focused on the complex chain of mistakes and failures that caused the blowout.
The second phase is divided into two segments: The first centers on BP's efforts to cap the well. The second is designed to help Barbier determine how much oil spilled into the Gulf.
The government's estimate is 70 million gallons (265 million liters) more than what BP says spilled. Establishing how much oil leaked into the Gulf will help figure out the penalties the oil company must pay. Billions of dollars are at stake.
Eleven workers died in the explosion on the rig that was triggered by the blowout.
University of California-Berkeley engineering professor Robert Bea, an expert witness for plaintiffs' attorneys, testified that BP didn't spend any money before the Deepwater Horizon disaster to develop technology for controlling a deep-water blowout. At the time of the Macondo blowout, the company's oil spill response plan simply called for assembling a team of experts to assess the situation while drilling a relief well to halt the flow of oil.
"This is a 'think about it when it happens' plan," Bea said.
During cross-examination by a BP lawyer, Bea acknowledged that other offshore operators had virtually identical plans for responding to a spill. Other companies didn't have capping stacks suitable for deep-water usage, either, Bea said.

Hokes Bluff police chief fired
Published: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 22, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
Hokes Bluff city officials said police chief Mark Robinson had been fired Monday.
Hokes Bluff mayor Tim Langdale confirmed Robinson had been fired during a phone interview late Monday night.
"I did relieve him of his duty this morning," Langdale said.
Langdale declined comment on exactly why Robinson had been fired after only serving as chief for a little more than 7 months.
Robinson, a former military police officer, worked for the Montgomery Police Department for more than 20 years before retiring last June. He replaced former police chief Harvey Scales, who resigned in March.
Even though Robinson has been fired, the final vote is up to the city council and a decision is expected at tonight's meeting scheduled for 7.

A national electricity reliability organization is forecasting electricity supply challenges in Texas and southern California this summer but says the Midwest region should continue to have more than enough power to meet its needs.
The North American Electric Reliability Corp. published its summer outlook this week. The Midwest regional grid coordinator, now known as Midcontinent Independent System Operator, said it expects to have 28% more power than will be needed on the hottest summer day. Demand is expected to peak at 91,532 megawatts in the region, but utilities are projected to have more than 117,000 megawatts available to meet that demand.
The 28% cushion is roughly double the required cushion of 14.2%, according to MISO, which is based in Carmel, Ind.
In eastern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, utilities are forecasting total demand of 11,839 megawatts this summer - and will have 15,324 megawatts available to meet those needs. That gives the region a 29% cushion, even with the shutdown of the 578-megawatt Kewaunee Power Station, the Midwest ISO said.
The strong power outlook was one of the factors leading We Energies to discontinue its "energy partners" program, which gave customers a $50 summertime discount if they agreed to let the Milwaukee utility turn off their air conditioners during periods of heavy electricity use.
We Energies recently notified customers of the change, which was approved by state regulators late last year.
MISO said its models don't forecast any scenarios under which customers will be asked to turn their power off this summer.
Expanded electricity supplies thanks to construction of new power plants coupled with the loss of large energy-intensive manufacturers during the Great Recession have combined to give the region ample supply.
With the price of natural gas remaining low and new environmental standards being implemented across the country, utilities are moving to retire or retrofit aging coal-fired power plants to reduce air pollution. But those moves shouldn't cause any reliability concerns this summer, the Midwest and national reports found.

Acrylamide has been detected in many widely-consumed foods, ranging from French fries to coffee. The highest levels are in fried and baked products such as potato chips and other snack foods. Although classified as a probable human carcinogen on the basis of animal studies, there is currently no consensus on dietary acrylamides risks to human health. With food safety authorities in Europe taking steps to curb acrylamide, controversy has arisen over whether similar action should be taken in the U. S.

Cranberries may improve chemotherapy for ovarian cancer
Compounds in cranberries may help improve the effectiveness of platinum drugs that are used in chemotherapy to fight ovarian cancer, researchers have found in a laboratory study. The scientists demonstrated in cell culture studies that human ovarian cancer cells resistant to platinum drugs became up to six times more sensitized to the drugs after exposure to the cranberry compounds in comparison to cells that were not exposed to the compounds, which were obtained from juice extracts.
Although preliminary, the findings have the potential to save lives and reduce the harmful side effects associated with using high doses of platinum drugs for the treatment of ovarian cancer, the researchers say, adding that human studies are still needed. The new study adds to a growing number of potential health benefits linked to cranberries.

Louisville swing-man Angel Nunez's sophomore season hasn't gotten off to the start that he had hoped for. Nunez has missed Louisville's first eight games of the season due to a concussion and isn't expected to return anytime soon. Coach Pitino said on his radio show last night that Nunez could be out at least another month. Angel didn't make the trip with the team to College of Charleston earlier this week. He is reportedly having issues being around bright lighting. It sounds like this concussion could be pretty severe. I still think when healthy, Nunez could find his way into the rotation depending on the opponent. His length is valuable and regardless of what Pitino said during the preseason, Nunez is easily one of the top shooters on the team.

Out of control
Some years ago, in a series of events known as 'the atrocities of nine-eleven', a bunch of terrorists boarded some aeroplanes with knives, murdered the crews and then knocked some buildings down.
As a result of this, I've had the small pair of nail-clippers that I kept on my key-ring confiscated by airport security, on the basis that I might be overcome with religious zeal on a trip to the States and clip the captain and first officer of a 747 to death, starting with their little finger-nails.
Meanwhile, the real bad guys had moved on to shoe bombs. Once these were discovered, it became necessary for me to remove my 28-hole Dr Marten boots every time I want to fly to Manchester, in case I intend to blow up a load of fat blokes with laptops en route to a conference about the future of plastics.
This measure was never going to catch any real terrorists, though, because they'd since developed two-part liquid explosives disguised as Hammond hair product or some such. Because of that, I now have my deodorant stolen every time I pass through Heathrow with hand luggage only, in case it's a nerve agent and I'm intending to kill a sixth-form netball team on its way to Frankfurt. All that really happens is that I become a bad ambassador for Britain by walking around foreign countries with BO.
This sort of thing drives me up the wall. Because of the anti-social behaviour of a few, I'm being made to suffer enormous inconvenience and the general ruination of my smooth-running existence.
It's the same in my private life. I'm currently making one of my booze series with TV's Oz Clarke, and there are quite a few issues with what the BBC calls 'compliance'. We are in danger of promoting excess drinking and inviting the censure of the board of governors or health groups, and why? Because a small handful of pikeys are getting bladdered and then stabbing each other.
"I'm not bothered about people who drive a bit too slowly. What bothers me are those who drive like prats"
This is ridiculous. All we are saying is that enjoying a glass or two is perfectly acceptable amongst normal, balanced people and that if they end up a bit squiffy, that's fine. Everyone I know likes a drink, but none of them has ever knifed me or beaten me up on the way home from the pub while someone else makes a happy-slappy video.
Yet government ministers insist that we should have smaller wine glasses in order to curb our terrible drinking habit. Rubbish. We're just being made to suffer for a minority of half-wits who would be out breaking rocks in May's Britain.
This brings me to some of the traffic-control measures that have been introduced near where I live – extra traffic lights, islands with one-way priority, alpine speed-humps, fatuous mini roundabouts, millions of cameras, all the usual truly tedious stuff that seems to make driving more trouble than it's worth.
Yet most of it is completely unnecessary as far as the majority of drivers is concerned. We instinctively drive slowly and vigilantly past the school, or let the bus pull into the outside lane on the run-up to the bit where the road forks, or let the other bloke go first when we come head-to-head on a narrow road where there's insufficient room for two cars. We all stop at red traffic lights rather than accelerating through them as if it's somehow going to make everything all right.
But because a small number of people can't work this out, or more likely can't be bothered to, the rest of us must endure endless interference in an activity that is really quite simple and should be fairly relaxing – i.e. driving a chuffing car. I'm beginning to wonder if a few thousand people have spoiled driving for the other 30 million.
I'm not sure what the answer is. I'm not bothered about people who dither, or drive a bit too slowly, or who can't make up their minds about where to go or who forget the indicators. I don't even care if some people drive in the middle lane of the motorway for 500 miles or tow caravans. What bothers me are those people who treat the machine I love with contempt and drive like prats. If the car is such an awful experience, then give it up. The buses and trains are excellent these days.
Meanwhile, the airport security issue is easy to resolve, courtesy of my mate Nigel. He is prepared to sacrifice his future, his career and maybe his life by checking in wearing explosive pants. He may end up being destroyed in a controlled explosion, but as a result of his action, we will all thereafter be required to remove our pants before passing through the X-ray machine.
At least that would be amusing.

Plextor's M5M SSD is one-eighth the size of a standard 2.5-inch drive.
It's been a long, long time since Plextor's bread and butter was high-quality optical drives. It's perhaps a little bit ironic that Plextor's newest product is intended for Ultrabooks, a form factor that largely shuns optical drives (only a handful of Ultrabook models ship with a CD/DVD or Blu-ray drive). Plextor finds itself focused on solid state drives (SSDs) these days, and the company's new M5M mSATA Series drives are intended to give Ultrabook owners some upgrade options.
Announced today at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Plextor's M5M drives read data at up to 540MB/s through a SATA 6Gbps interface. The 64GB model writes data at up to 160MB/s, the 128GB at up to 320MB/s, and the 256GB at up to 430MB/s.
Plextor continues to tap Marvell to provide the controller chipset for its SSDs; in this case, it's the Marvell 88SS9187 working in combination with Plextor's True Speed technology designed to eliminate performance degradation over time.
Other features include 256-bit AES full-drive encryption, 128-bit error correction, and support for DEVSLP power mode to reduce power consumption and extend battery life on ultra portable devices.

Dr. Russo is an in-network provider for MetLife PDP, Delta Dental PPO, Delta Dental Premier, Cigna PPO, and Assurant PPO. We are happy to accept assignment for these patients; however, you will be responsible for any balance unpaid by your insurance company after 30 days.

Most other PPO's will reimburse for services rendered in our office and we are happy to submit insurance claims electronically. Please check with your insurance prior to your appointment to determine what their reimbursement policy is.

Your insurance company will pay the minimum amount that it deems, without the benefit of examining or treating your child. We base all of our treatment on what is best for your child, not your insurance company. No dental insurance covers 100% of dental care and most have exclusions. It is your responsibility to know what is covered by your particular dental plan.

Payment in full is expected at each appointment. Our office provides all patients with the anticipated payments required at each visit. If there are any questions before arriving for an appointment, please call the office and our staff will be happy to discuss this with you.

Re: Help! Im getting a Disk Boot Failure
FYI: On one of my mainboards, the sata connectors worked like the old IDE primary master/slave and secondary master/slave. With 2 drives you want primary master and secondary master, not primary master and slave.
So let's say I had 4 sata ports to connect to for the sake of argument (1, 2, 3, and 4). If I connected my hard drive to 1 and my DVDRW drive to 2...they shared a channel with the hard drive as master and the DVDRW as slave, and I always had issues with my disks. CD's locked up when reading, my hard drive would simply stop/lockup until launching anything that was not already in memory would just stall forever. I would reboot and it would behave as if the hard drive were corrupted "No disks found", etc. Power down and unplug-replug the power supply then reboot and it was fine again.
If I connected the hard drive to 1, skip 2 and connect the DVDRW to 3, one was on channel 1 and the other channel 2 (both as master) and never had another problem. It took me months to figure that one out. In theory it should not have even been a problem. In reality...it was a huge problem until I figured out what was going on.

Republic licenses doctors
On this day in 1837, the Congress of the Republic of Texas established the Board of Medical Censors, a forerunner of the Board of Medical Examiners, for the purpose of granting licenses to practice medicine and surgery in the republic. The law required that the board be composed of one physician from each senatorial district and that the members be graduates of medicine and surgery from authorized colleges and universities. A twenty-dollar fee was collected from those who passed an examination. Without a license, physicians could not collect unpaid fees in court. The first board included among its members Ashbel Smith, A. C. Hoxey, George W. Hill, J. B. P. January, R. A. Irion, Thomas Anderson, and A. M. Levy. The board was scheduled to meet once each year, but difficulty of transportation over long distances and Indian attacks frequently prevented annual meetings. The board was discontinued by a state legislative act in 1848.

Motivated, fit Boris Diaw is steal for San Antonio Spurs
Minor moves by San Antonio will help as regular season ends in a month
CORPUS CHRISTI - For a team that seemed set on March 13th, the San Antonio Spurs have been actively making transactions over the past couple of weeks. While the moves haven't been major, the Spurs have now added every type of player since the trade deadline: a wing (Stephen Jackson), a point guard (Patty Mills) and a post.
The post is Boris Diaw, who agreed to a deal with the Spurs after being waived by the Charlotte Bobcats that will keep him in San Antonio for the remainder of the season. Diaw comes in with a slight knowledge of the territory as the French national is a friend of Tony Parker's. Diaw isn't a traditional post player but his skill set on the block and in the mid-post is vast. Diaw doesn't have to be on the block to make a contribution offensively, which is a rare quality for a power forward. He is an adequate spot-up shooter from three-point range but he's even better at facilitating the offense from the high post. Diaw has point guard skills in a big man's body. Since he came into the league in the 2003-2004 season, Boris Diaw has the most triple-doubles for a power forward or center by far with eight. For comparison's sake, Pau Gasol, who is widely considered the most skilled big man in basketball, has had four, and Tim Duncan has only had one.
The problem with Diaw over the past few seasons has been his effort level. As the Bobcats have faded from relevancy, Diaw has lost all motivation. I remember being in the media scrum with Diaw during the World Basketball Festival when he was asked if he thought he had put on a few pounds. Diaw told the reporter off, but it was obvious. Diaw's weight was directly related to the success of his team. I'm not entirely sure that there's anything Gregg Popovich can do that would significantly improve Diaw's conditioning, but in the limited role that Diaw will play for the Spurs it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
It will be interesting to see how Diaw's role changes once Tiago Splitter is healthy. Diaw would likely be the fifth option in a Tim Duncan, DeJuan Blair, Matt Bonner, Splitter big man rotation. Pretty much no team uses five big man rotations in the post-season so if Splitter is ready to go in the playoffs, Diaw may be reduced to injury insurance. That's not so great for him as he could have had a larger role on a different contender, but the Spurs now have a starting caliber big man as their fifth option. That's very good management work from San Antonio.
Diaw hasn't had all that much impact in his first three games for the Spurs but San Antonio hasn't really needed it, either. The Spurs could have finished the rest of the season without Diaw and be largely unaffected but getting Diaw on a minimum deal means they don't have to rely on a big man from the D-League if an injury were to happen. If he's needed, Diaw can provide some useful skills for the Spurs and Popovich always seems to find good use for big men that can pass when he gets his hands on them. Just like the Patty Mills signing, which is still getting processed, this was a nice low-key move for the Spurs with no risk and a decent reward.

Combine Mortars
This is probably a classic newbie question but maybe some of you can shed light on the question.
Is there a problem using Heat Stop 50 to hold the brick in place (Pompeii 36") then using homemade refractory mortar to fill the voids? I haven't started yet but would like to avoid buying a second bag of HS if it's practical to combine mortars.
My question is based on recommendations to keep the Heat Stop joints thin, yet the need to fill voids at the outside of the dome.
Re: Combine Mortars
I wish I had asked the question. My local masonry supplier only sold the Heat Stop in popcorn bucket size containers. I am embarrassed to say how many of those buckets that I used. I honestly think my mortar expense was higher than my brick expense. In hindsight, I should have ordered the 50 lb bags of heat stop. Even after calculating freight, I would definitely have been better off financially. Also, I should have considered tapering my bricks. This would have saved a lot of mortar. As to the homemade brew, I did not use it. If you are new to masonry, like I was, there is enough stress trying to get the bricks in place. I am not sure that I would want to add the stress of moving back and forth between the two mortars. Here is a link to my build: Picasa Web Albums - Daniel Woodruff - Wood Fired Oven
Re: Combine Mortars
The problem with this plan is the difficulty of filling all the voids. I saw a slide show of a professional oven builder who mortared the inner edges of the bricks together, then after the dome was done he filled the voids with some kind of refractory slurry.
As far as working two different kinds of mortar at once? Forget about it. Hard enough to manage one. My suggestion? If cost is an object, use the homebrew mortar, with fine sand.
And TUSR: 10 pound buckets? Wow. How many did you use? 15?
Re: Combine Mortars
Unfortunately, even more than that. I lost count. I am going to write it off to experience. As to the professional dome, I saw that video clip too. The professional used a sand dome. I would suspect that the mortar slurry would not work unless you used the sand-dome approach. Otherwise the slurry would end up on the hearth floor.
Re: Combine Mortars
I used the mortar "neat" where the joints were small, typically the inner 1/3 or so of the brick. I filled the remainder of the voids with mortar extended by mixing 1:2 with mortar sand.
Re: Combine Mortars
Wow, you took on a huge project. I don't think I've seen such a massive masonry effort for a wfo. I like the masonry base, red brick on the outside and you did a great job on the Pompeii too. more >
Nice approach to the issue. Did you fill the voids right away? How much time elapsed between laying the brick and filling, or did you do several, or wait 'til the end? more>
Thank you for your comments. I have materials at hand to do either method suggested. I'm at conflict with the manufacturers instruction for a thin mortar joint vs the huge volume of filling in the gaps. A less expensive and still suitable refractory mortar to fill the void seemed practical. You might have guessed that I think Heat Stop mortar is preferred over home brew and that is why I want to use it for the critical hot face joints. And, I'm over-thinking the "problem" a bit too.
What I've learned so far: compatibility of the different mortars is not an issue (unless someone with specific knowledge provides input to the contrary); Cost and degree of difficulty handling two mortars are important considerations (but not the only ones).
After seeing the humongus undertaking by tusr18a my problems seem small by comparison. If my build turns out half as nice as his then I'll be happy. I'll wait for more input on the mortars issue before I start. That will allow me time to consider everyone's input. I'm doing the insulation concrete today.....in a few days I'll lay my first bricks.
Re: Combine Mortars
I forced home brew mortar into all the wide outer joints with my pinky and with a pointed trowel until they oozed out of adjoining voids. I usually did this the next day or the day after.
I was pretty confident that the mortar was solidly imbedded.
Re: Combine Mortars
I like your thinking. That is the way I would approach the build.
The hearth insulation is finally done. Ugh....my arms are sore from mixing. 4 cu ft of perlite with Portland cement, 5:1 mix. The last inch on top was a dedicated insulating refractory left over from another project. Total depth is five inches. Next step is to review the plans and start cutting bricks....then laying bricks....then reviewing plans again. More Q's later.
Cheers, and thank you all for your comments.
Re: Combine Mortars
1 Attachment(s)
I used 2 mortars while building the dome because my bricks were tapered between the layers. I used a high heat mortar between the layers of bricks which was very thin and to the front of the side of the bricks and after each row was completed i threw i in home brew mortar to fill the wedges at the side of the bricks. I did this because as you have said the high heat mortar should not be more than 3mm thick and therefore it is not suitable for filling up large areas. I used the trowel to literally fling the homebrew between the bricks and a slicing action with the trowel on the mortar to compact it. I had no problem dealing with two mortars as i only mixed small amounts in a bucket using a paddle and hand drill. Picture attached to illustrate
Re: Combine Mortars
Thank you dublintom.
Nice workmanship on your oven.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Lamb meets with Bucks; ankle injury keeps him out of workout
St. Francis - Connecticut guard Jeremy Lamb met with Bucks officials on Tuesday but was unable to take part in a workout due to the ankle injury he suffered a few weeks ago.
Lamb worked out in Portland on Monday and aggravated the injury. But the Bucks were able to work out 6-7 Washington sophomore Terrence Ross, one of the top shooting guard prospects in the draft.
"Unfortunately things are so fluid this time of year and injuries are part of the process," Bucks assistant general manager Jeff Weltman said. "He (Lamb) probably shouldn't even have gone yesterday. It was to the point where it would have been fruitless to have him on the court.
"But he wanted to let us know he was serious about us and wanted to follow through with the visit. We had breakfast with him this morning."
Lamb said he was glad to meet with Bucks officials even though he could not work out.
"It went pretty good (in Portland)," Lamb said. "I fought through it but it's real sore. It swelled up a little bit.
"They (the Bucks) knew I was hurt but they still said I should come in, and that's great."
Weltman said the Bucks were impressed with Ross, who shot 37% from three-point range last season and has the size the team is seeking in the backcourt.
"He's a very intriguing prospect and he's on the board for us at 12," Weltman said.
"I think he's going to be a better NBA shooter as his body matures and he gets used to the range and the distance. He's got a really mechanically sound jump shot and he elevates.
"He's got NBA written all over him as far as his size, his athletic ability. It's very rare you get a guy who is a good shooter and can generate his own shot. He's a guy who can get if off the dribble and get it in the mid-range, get it out on the floor and still have the same mechanics."
Ross said he felt he did well in the workout and showed he could get to the basket.
"I feel it would be a good fit, playing with those guys who have experience and have been successful at this level," Ross said of playing with Bucks guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis.
Ross said the workout was his last one and he would be in New Jersey for the draft on Thursday night.
"It feels like the draft is still two weeks away," Ross said. "I'm getting anxious. I know Thursday will probably be the longest day of my life until my name gets called.
"I'm just trying to stay patient."
Also working out for the Bucks on Tuesday were Milwaukee native and South Dakota guard Charlie Westbrook, Michigan State guard Brandon Wood and UW-Milwaukee guard Ryan Allen.
