Tug of war could be emerging for Vikings headquarters
Next year, the Vikings will have a new stadium next to the site of their old one. The next project could be a new team headquarters. For that, the Vikings could be moving to a new city.
For 34 years, the facility known as Winter Park (named for team co-founder Max Winter, not because it's always Winter in Minnesota) has kept the Vikings in Eden Prairie. Via the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Vikings could move to a new building in Chanhassen. And that has folks in Eden Prairie concerned.
"The recognition of Winter Park, headquartered in Eden Prairie . . . it's a good way for people to know where Eden Prairie is," Pat MulQueeny, president of the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce, told the Star Tribune. "If the Vikings were to leave, it's a loss. Definitely we'd like to keep them here."
Chanhassen wants to grab the Vikings for the same reason — to increase awareness of a town few beyond the borders of Minnesota know exists.
That gives the Vikings leverage, allowing the team to play one town against the other in order to get the best deal. At a time when that approach no longer is working for other teams trying to get public stadium financing, the last team to finagle major taxpayer dollars for a new place to play could end up squeezing major concessions for their new place to practice.
Geno Smith: Brandon Marshall is "a quarterback's best friend"
Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall recently left Jay Cutler, who threw Marshall passes in Denver and Chicago, off a list of his favorite teammates from his various stops around the NFL over the years.
Geno Smith didn't make that list either, which isn't much of a surprise since the two men haven't played a game together since the trade that brought Marshall to Jersey. Smith doesn't feel the need to wait until September to talk about how much it means for him to play with Marshall, however.
"He's a quarterback's best friend … For one, he's a veteran guy," Smith said, via the team's website. "He understands the game on and off the field. He's a beast of a player. You can't say enough good things about him."
The arrivals of Marshall, Stevan Ridley and Devin Smith give the Jets the deepest cast of characters at skill positions they've had since taking Geno Smith in the second round of the 2013 draft. That's part of the reason why Ron Jaworski and others think the needle is pointing up for Smith heading into the 2015 season, although that optimism is tempered by those who think the problems of his first two seasons have had more to do with Smith than with the players next to him on offense.
Manti Te'o thinks he's becoming a playmaker under Mike Nolan
After entering the NFL following a high-profile college career (and an even higher-profile story surrounding his personal life), Manti Te'o has been relatively quite in his two years with the Chargers. A part-time starter, Te'o hasn't been a bust of a second-round pick, but he hasn't been an impact player, either.
This year, Te'o thinks that's going to change. With new linebackers coach Mike Nolan in San Diego, Te'o says he feels like he can be a playmaker more like he was at Notre Dame, where he was widely regarded as the best linebacker in college football.
"Coach Nolan brings an old-school feel to not only our position, but to the defense as a whole," Te'o said, via ESPN. "He's all about making plays. He's all about doing whatever it takes to put each piece in a position to make a play. It's definitely a good thing to have him here."
The Chargers' defense struggled through a rough 2014 season, but Te'o believes they're ready for a course correction this year.
"We all can do a better job, especially up front," Te'o said. "Just being more stout, knowing where everybody's going to be and just having that mindset that we're going to make a play. Definitely each one of us can do better at that."
Te'o looked better in college than he has looked so far in his NFL career. Nolan might be the coach who can get the most out of Te'o's talent.
Unnamed exec "still confused about" Eagles trading for Sam Bradford
When training camps open in a little under a month, one of the most-watched storylines will be the progress of Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford, coming off a pair of torn ACLs.
But some are wondering whether too much has been made of his arrival by trade already.
Via Mark Eckel of NJ.com, "one of the league's top executives in personnel" was skeptical of the impact Bradford will actually have.
"I understand they gave up on Foles," he said. "But I don't know why they're building up Bradford so much. I'm still confused about that whole deal. You can only talk about him being the first pick of the draft for so long. What has he done since then?
"If Bradford had gone anywhere else you wouldn't even be talking about him. He's been hurt the past two years and even when he was healthy, he was just average. But he's with Chip Kelly, so there's hope I guess. Chip Kelly is the one guy who can make Bradford a success."
That might be because of Kelly's magic milkshakes, which may have helped make his team the healthiest in the league over the last two years. But Bradford has played in just 49 of 80 possible games in his five seasons, so unless there's something in the smoothies to keep him ACLs intact, it will be hard for Kelly to transform him.
Bradford has been a good quarterback at times, but he was stuck on some bad teams as well. If Kelly can polish him up, his reputation will only grow.
Von Miller on contract: Do good things and it takes care of self
The Broncos have nine more days left to hammer out a long-term deal with wide receiver Demaryius Thomas before the deadline to sign such contracts with players who received the franchise tag.
However things wind up playing out with Thomas, the process could serve as a practice run for next offseason. That's when linebacker Von Miller will be eligible to become a free agent and the Broncos will have to make the same kinds of calculations that they've made with Thomas in order to hold onto the second overall pick of the 2011 draft.
If Thomas signs a multi-year deal, Miller can get the franchise tag but no new deal for Thomas would leave the Broncos with two key free agents and one tag after the 2015 season. For now, Miller's not sweating those scenarios.
"But I just want to play the best I can," Miller said, via ESPN.com. "Everything takes care of itself if we do good things and I play like I want to for this team … I think guys here worry about winning. The time for all that other stuff is after the season."
Miller has plenty of company on defense when it comes to playing out the final year of a contract. Defensive linemen Malik Jackson and Derek Wolfe, linebackers Danny Trevathan and Stephen Johnson and safety David Bruton are also headed toward free agency in what will likely be another busy offseason in Denver.
Still no interest in Ray Rice
Three years ago this month, running back Ray Rice signed a contract with the Ravens that paid him $24 million over the first eight months. In the eight months since Rice's indefinite suspension was overturned, Rice hasn't gotten a single sniff from any of the NFL's 32 teams.
Plenty of people have said Rice deserves a second chance, but no one has given him one. The stigma arising from his brutal assault on then-fiancée (now wife) Janay Palmer lingers, and Rice lacks the talent to overcome it. His age (28) works against him, as does the fact that Rice's play dropped dramatically in his most recent full season of action, with 660 yards rushing and an average of 3.1 yards per carry — the lowest of his career by 0.9.
Many think if Rice's name were Adrian Peterson, he'd still be playing. But it would be hard even for Peterson to overcome the video evidence that emerged only four days before Rice's two-game suspension was due to end. Even though anyone with any degree of common sense and/or basic human empathy knew what a man knocking out a woman looked like without having to see it, seeing it changed everything for Rice.
With the offseason program over and training camp looming, the only question remaining is whether Rice's name shows up on any team's list of players to call if/when injuries happen to running back already on the roster. Even if he's a candidate to be contacted, the ultimately challenge will be to get the owner to sign off on signing Rice.
So far, no one has. It would be naive not to at least wonder whether the league office has put out the word to shy away from Rice, given the controversy his conduct sparked — and the consequences it nearly caused. Still, the league always consists of a team or two that is inclined to stick it to 345 Park Avenue; the bigger question is whether the rush that would come from defiance would outweigh the ruckus that Rice's arrival could cause for the team that gives him a job.
As Mariota, Titans haggle over offsets, history says it's a non-issue
The Titans and first-round draft pick Marcus Mariota haven't come to terms because they haven't agreed on whether his rookie contract will include offset language. Which is an odd issue to become a stumbling block, because history says it will almost certainly be a non-issue.
Offsets only come into play if a player gets cut by the team that drafts him and then signs on with a new team. Although first-round picks' contracts are guaranteed, if there are offsets in his contract, the team that drafted the player can deduct whatever he makes with his new team from the money the team that drafted him has to pay. In other words, if Mariota's rookie contract calls for him to make a base salary of $615,000 in 2017, he's guaranteed to get paid that money even if the Titans cut him after the 2016 season. But if some other team signs Mariota and pays him $615,000 in 2017, the Titans don't have to pay it to him. If there are no offsets in the contract, Mariota can "double dip" and collect $615,000 from both the Titans and his new team.
Here's why it doesn't matter: Mariota would have to be so bad that the Titans cut him in the next four years, but not so bad that some other team wouldn't sign him. and that almost never happens. In the 21st Century, only one quarterback has been drafted in the first round, cut in his first four years, and then signed with another team. That quarterback was Brandon Weeden, who lasted two years in Cleveland and then signed in Dallas after the Browns cut him.
Other first-round quarterbacks have been cut in the first four years but not signed anywhere else (JaMarcus Russell), or been traded away by the teams that drafted them (Blaine Gabbert, Tim Tebow). But only Weeden has been cut and then signed elsewhere, which means Weeden is the only first-round quarterback for whom offsets have been an issue.
The Browns did convince Weeden to agree to offsets in his rookie contract, which meant they were allowed to deduct the league-minimum salary he earned from the Cowboys last year from the amount Cleveland still owed him on his rookie deal. The Titans want Mariota to agree to offsets so that if they cut him and he's playing for some other team in 2017, they can also deduct his salary with his new team from the amount he gets paid by Tennessee.
But if Mariota is as bad for the Titans as Weeden was for the Browns, the Titans will have bigger problems than saving a few hundred thousand dollars.
Bengals quietly shifting Onterio McCalebb from corner to receiver
In college at Auburn, Onterio McCalebb played running back, becoming one of only two players in SEC history with more than 2,000 yards rushing, 500 yards receiving, and 1,000 yard returning kickoffs.
And he wasn't drafted.
The Bengals signed him, with an eye toward making the 4.34-in-the-40 speedster into a cornerback. While he's still listed as a cornerback after spending most of the last two years on the practice squad (he has appeared in one career regular-season game), McCalebb is getting a new opportunity in Cincinnati.
During last month's mandatory minicamp, the Bengals switched McCalebb from cornerback to receiver. And that's apparently where he will be when training camp opens.
"The transition to corner maybe was not as smooth as we had hoped," Bengals receivers coach James Urban told Bengals.com, via Mark Inabinett of AL.com. "But he's a great kid who can run, and it's obvious he's natural with the ball in his hands since he's played offense his whole life. Let's see what he does at training camp when everybody is starting from square one."
McCalebb is far from square one in his NFL career. Eventually, he'll run out of practice-squad eligibility, which means that, at some point, it's up or out for McCalebb.
Khiry Robinson "all good" with role in crowded Saints backfield
With Pierre Thomas on his way out and Mark Ingram headed for free agency, Saints running back Khiry Robinson may have had moments early this offseason when he saw himself playing a prominent role in the Saints backfield in 2015.
He'd performed well when given opportunities late in 2013 and early in 2014, although an arm injury last year kept him from building on that early success. Assuming he was healthy, it looked like Robinson would get that chance this year.
Ingram re-signed, however, and the Saints added C.J. Spiller as a free agent after parting ways with Thomas, which presents a different scenario for the third-year running back. Robinson isn't complaining about how things played out, however. He says he's "all good" with the current pecking order in New Orleans.
"I'm the type of person, I'm gonna get what I get and do what I do with it. So whether it's 20 carries or one carry, I'm gonna do the best of my ability every play," Robinson said, via ESPN.com. "I just gotta keep working. It's all love in the backfield. We all work together, try to help each other. So I think it's a good thing we've got a full backfield again. So if anybody goes down, we've got another player right up there to do the same thing."
Robinson may be third on the depth chart, but that doesn't rule him out of the mix for playing time. The Saints have played three or more backs throughout Sean Payton's tenure as head coach and all the talk this offseason in New Orleans has been about maximizing the output of all the team's skill position players along with a renewed focus on running the ball. That philosophy and Robinson's attitude about the situation should bode well for the back once the team starts getting serious about divvying up playing time later this summer.
Golden Tate taking better care of his body
Lions receiver Golden Tate has finally beaten his donut habit.
After a career season in 2014, Tate (whose rookie season in Seattle included the alleged theft of Top Pot donuts) has focused on taking better care of his body.
"I've been doing some yoga, trying to work on my flexibility," Tate said recently, via Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press. "Eating healthier than I ever have and just really trying to build my endurance up, trying to build my body as much as I can because, as you know, the season will break it down."
The yoga has a specific purpose for the player who'll soon by 27.
"I'm just trying to loosen up my [hamstrings] and my hips, my groin, just so I can get a longer stride," Tate said. "Just trying to set myself up to get better this year. The older I get, the more people want to say, 'He's losing a step.' In my case, I want, 'The older I get, the better he's getting.'"
He was better than ever in 2014, with 99 catches, 1,331 yards, and his first-ever trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

Tony Romo on Dez Bryant talks: "I think it will work out with Dez"
Maybe it's just because he's on vacation and back home in Wisconsin, but Tony Romo doesn't seem worried.
Asked at his football camp back home about the Cowboys' ongoing negotiations with wide receiver Dez Bryant, Romo expressed confidence a deal would get done.
"The NFL is a business, it really is, " Romo said, via Mike Ramczyk of MyRacineCounty.com You'll see that side sometimes, with DeMarco [Murray] leaving and Dez not being part of the offseason.
"I think it will work out with Dez."
Asked about the way the business side of the game affects the locker room, Romo took an equally que sera, sera approach.
"Once you play in the NFL, you recognize there's turnover," he said. "One of the big flaws for a football team will be if you have a little bit of success, you think you're just going to pick up where you left off. You have to start over every year. Your team will be different each year.
"You're not worried about much more than improvement on an individual basis. Collectively, you don't worry about people that aren't there. Over time, everyone will get better if you take that certain approach."
If Bryant had stayed away in a huff all offseason, it would be easy enough to stretch that comment into a dig at the star wideout. But because Bryant's been hanging around, joking with Romo on the sidelines during minicamp, it's easy to see where the quarterback's confidence comes from.
Jason Pierre-Paul has burns, but his fingers remain intact
When the initial reports of Jason Pierre-Paul's fireworks injury came out, there were few details beyond the term "severely injured."
But while he has plenty of doctors visits in his future, it appears he may have escaped the worst of the damage.
According to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, some of the flesh on the Giants defensive ends' hand was burned off his palm and fingers, but his fingers are intact. (Sorry if you were eating breakfast while reading this.)
While there was some speculation on the internet that he might have lost fingers or part of his hand, a Giants source told the Post those were "overblown." We can only imagine what that same source said when Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last night that the injury wasn't career-threatening, and colleague Chris Mortensen followed that up by saying it "may not be game or season threatening either."
Of course, massive burns, the kind that would result from an explosive device going off in one's hand, are obviously still a serious issue. And that will likely have the Giants reviewing all their options with Pierre-Paul, who had yet to sign his $14.8 million franchise tender.
Chris Borland says money was never a factor in retirement call
Former 49ers linebacker Chris Borland has been widely supported for his decision to walk away from the NFL after a year because of long-term health concerns.
But when he talks to people, he hears a common refrain, wondering how he could step away from NFL paychecks.
"That has been the biggest surprise for me," Borland said, via Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "People can't get over the money.
"That's all they think about. But your health is a little more important."
Borland volunteered to hand back three-fourths of his signing bonus, or $463,077 from the $2.3 million deal he signed.
"I think people were surprised," he said. "But I signed a contract. I was living by the contract."
Borland suffered a concussion during his rookie training camp with the 49ers but didn't report it, but as time went on, that began to weigh on him.
"Just a combination of my own experience, along with a lot of data that is out there regarding long-term health effects of head injuries," he said of leaving. "And I play a position and a style of play where I was susceptible to the worst of it.
"I played a physical brand of football and played through some things where it makes sense for me."
Borland said he's still exploring "a few pretty decent options," but wasn't in a hurry to begin his next career. As with other calls, he seems willing to wait to make the right one at the right time.

I dunno about the 280..
whats the point of getting a 280/260 right now other than to play Crysis??
serrriously.. i'm urging people not to get caught up in the hype..
i'm definitely going to be avoiding this one until the refresh.. hell maybe even
all together.
just be patient, save your pennies for now.
it's not worth it !!!!!
Re: I dunno about the 280..
I kinda agree with you on this one. Besides Crysis, all other games out right now work just fine, even at high resolutions. I guess it's just an e-p3n1S thing . . .
Re: I dunno about the 280..
this card is a must have for who have big screen like 2560x1600, although i would wait until the shrink comes out and price drop a bit . . .
Re: I dunno about the 280..
for sure, i understand the enthusiast buying one for sure.
in fact that's probably where the majority of sales will come from anyway..
i just wanted everyone else who's debating one of these cards to really
stop and think about it a second time, especially those who already
own an 8800 -and have room for another card.
two 8800gt's or even 3 can be had for much much cheaper than this and
perform admirably.
don't get me wrong the 280 series looks amazing, it's just far too expensive
to justify paying for at this point.
interested to see what AMD does..
Re: I dunno about the 280..
Simply, if you want the very best performance, you go with GTX280. It's not a "e-penis" thing, it's just personal preference. Many people want the best of the best.
Re: I dunno about the 280..
simply.. the 'best' performance sometimes isn't worth shelling out thousands of dollars..
especially in the case of one single game..
there isn't a damn game out there the 8800's can't handle decently, besides the obvious
and if anyone isn't happy with not playing at 1280x1024-1680x1050 with minimal AA + AF ONCE in a while
well.. then they're just spoiled. (not saying there's anything wrong with spending the coin on yourself if you've got it)
just don't put yourself in a pinch financially
like i said in my above post a better investment right now would be to grab a 2nd or 3rd 8800..just my opinion.
Re: I dunno about the 280..
would not mind seeing far cry 2 running on these cards but it is not out:( with the cards being that price will the 280 run it well
Re: I dunno about the 280..
very big disappoint for $650 price range, i'll stick to $425 gx2 lol
Re: I dunno about the 280..
I'll pay the difference and the main reason I want a 280 is the performance is similar if not better than a GX2, and it can drive TWO displays. I rather have one solid GPU solution than two gpu's on one pcb and get stuck messing with sli profiles, flickering, driver conflicts....etc.........
Re: I dunno about the 280..
Re: I dunno about the 280..
They also claim 8800 GTX gets 26fps @ 1680x1050 16xQ AA , same settings i don't get anywhere near that score i got 16~ with 177.26 , without AA i got ~28 fps , so my guess is they didn't actually use 16xQ AA.
Re: I dunno about the 280..
yeah i dont get it at all unless nvidia gave them some special drivers? lol

The Future!!
I laugh a lot, and i think i have a pretty good sense of humor. Although unmistakeably corney from time to time Several facts about me include: --I am one part Japanese and One part black. --I usually get Hispanic, Samoan, or Philippino. --I am from southern ohio, cinicnnati to be exact. --I can do a pretty darn good british accent. --I can watch movies all day and call it research. --Recently learned how to roll my r's --I enjoy cooking, but i enjoy eating even more.( Im also obsessed with spicy food) --I think everyone should wear nametags. --My parallel parking skills are basically awesome. --I find myself listening more than talking. --Im a pretty good whistler. --Dancing skills include: the twist, kid n play, electric slide, the running man or the skip, the humpty dance, cabbage patch and basic head nod. Next point: I have a blossoming(always climbing) career in the music/film business-- for specifics on that please ask. I don't like talking about myself too much, but I'd be happy to give ya the rundown. I do enjoy being active i.e. hiking, jogging, golf(amateur), walking etc. Recently I've set a goal to run the LA marathon in 2012. This will be epic... I'm just hoping to finish =) About relationships: Everyone has that "list"--an organized checklist we store in our heads of what we want from another: from height, to eating habits, all systematically checked and unchecked.. I think that an 80% approval rating would suffice. I'm happy with friendship, in fact. Friendship and trust is a solid foundation to any successful relationship. And, if friendship is all there is, then you've made a good friend. I believe that love is a decision, not a feeling. And we should decide to love someone everyday. To me, that is also a true friendship. P.S. Dog included

Anything history channel. Specifically, Mordern Marvels, or Histories mysteries. Big dork. I have a couple guilty pleasures that I wont disclose yet. Also, Top Chef, Chopped, Iron Chef. Yes all of those. At once if possible.
Walking, hiking, movies, your standard thing. Probably the thing most unique to myself would be cooking: not a good cook, but I try.
That would be Guns germs and steel.

After an unsettling music video and live performance at the BET Awards, Robin Thicke is still trying to get his lady back. The singer, who announced his separation from wife Paula Patton in February, posted a call out to his longtime love via Instagram this morning — just in case she missed his previous attempts at reconciliation. Because if she's choosing not to return your calls, texts or emails, a throwback photo will definitely make her come running.
Khloe Kardashian turned 30 this weekend, and celebrated by letting all of her female family members stunt for the camera during a birthday bash in New York City. The birthday girl rang in the big 3-0 with family, friends and French Montana. Hanh?!
Beyoncé and Jay Z continued to show Instagram followers just how in love they are during their On The Run tour, while exes Ellie Goulding and Skrillex hung out backstage at the Glastonbury Festival. Kerry Washington made her first post-pregnancy appearance at the BET Awards, and found time to pose with the man of the hour — aka host Chris Rock — before he could get yelled at by Paris Hilton for making one too many waffle jokes.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The federal government is officially seeking American manufacturers for rail passenger cars that could someday serve Iowa City.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced today builders may submit bids for a $551 million contract to build up to 130 new bi-level passenger cars. The cars will be used on Amtrak routes in "California, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, and potentially Iowa," according to the DOT release.
That's a reference to a planned service between Chicago and Moline, with a possible extension to Iowa City. Lahood released $177 million last fall to fund improvements to track and signal systems on the route. The DOT had allocated $230 million to extend the twice-daily roundtrips to Iowa City, but Gov. Terry Branstad and Republicans in the state House haven't been interested in coming up with the state's required $20 million match.
The DOT press release claims the new cars would be "the first American-made, standardized passenger rail cars," but they'd actually be the first in about 20 years. The last 140 of Amtrak's Superliner fleet of double-deck cars were built in Vermont in 1993 and '94.
The DOT will select a manufacturer for the project by this fall, with deliveries to begin in 2015. The new Chicago-Moline trains are tentatively set to begin operation in 2014.
The cars are being designed and built under a "Buy American" provision of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act signed by President George W. Bush in October 2008. The law requires all components of the new cars be built in the U.S. "with American-produced steel, iron and manufactured goods," according to DOT.

The researchers gave their test flies drugs that theoretically would block the genetic pathways that allow Alzheimer's to take root. Some of the drugs were experimental; one, lithium, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in humans.
The investigators found that these drugs prevented the onset of memory and learning loss in the flies, and also allowed them to recover some of their memory deficits.
"The results suggest there is a window of time when the loss of cognition is reversible through pharmacological treatment," Jongens said. "Maybe there's a window of time in human patients where these pharmacological treatments might have efficacy."
The results cannot automatically be used to recommend treatment in humans. Jongens believes that testing on mice is the next logical step. And after that, human clinical trials could be considered.
But the fact that lithium worked as a means of halting this form of Alzheimer's is a very hopeful finding, he said.
"One might think that would be a drug you would want to start trying immediately in humans, since it is FDA-approved," Jongens said. "It's interesting that it worked in the fly, and it suggests it should be looked at in careful studies."

Some corn farmers mow fields as drought worsens
DES MOINES, Iowa — Some cornstalks in fields around the farm where David Kellerman works stand tall, but appearances can be deceiving. When the husks are pulled back, the cobs are empty. No kernels developed as the plants struggled with heat and drought.
The soil in Kellerman's part of southern Illinois is like dust after less than an inch of rain since mid-April. This week, he and the farmer he works with packed it in. They cut and baled the withered plants to use as hay for their cattle.
As the worst drought in nearly 25 years spreads across the nation, farmers in Illinois and Indiana are finding themselves among the hardest hit. But they are not alone, and conditions are likely to get worse throughout the middle of the country with an unusually hot summer in the forecast.
Almost a third of the nation's corn crop is already showing signs of damage, and on Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released yet another report predicting that farmers will get only a fraction of the corn anticipated last spring when they planted 96.4 million acres, the most since 1937.
It's too soon to say how that will affect food prices. The cost of meat is most likely to be affected because corn is used to feed cattle, and its price is usually passed along in the cost of hamburger and steak. But meat prices were already rising and were expected to stay high after last year's drought in Texas forced many ranchers to reduce their herds.
Corn also is widely used as an ingredient — in cornflakes to ketchup, bread and soda pop — but it accounts for a small fraction of their costs compared to such things as transportation and marketing.
A rule of thumb is that food prices typically climb about 1 percent for every 50 percent increase in average corn prices, said Richard Volpe, a USDA food markets research economist.
The government has already predicted food prices will increase this year by as much as 3.5 percent. It won't be clear until the fall, when all the damage is known, how much the crop loss will add to that, Volpe said.
Kellerman, 28, farms near Du Bois, Ill., with his neighbor Gerald Kuberski. He said they had been holding out hope for rain, but gave up last week after more than a week of 100-degree or hotter days.
Temperatures over 95 degrees while corn is pollinating can stunt the growth of ears and prevent kernels from fully developing.
"Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we had 108 degrees. It just pretty much fried the corn," Kellerman said.
The drought stretches from parts of Ohio to California. The historic drought that gripped Texas and other parts of the Southwest last year was more severe, but this year is notable for the ground covered.
The USDA said Wednesday it now expects farmers to get 146 bushels per acre this year, rather than the 166 bushels per acre it predicted at the beginning of the year.
They will harvest an estimated 12.97 billion bushels of grain, a 12 percent reduction from an estimate in June of 14.79 billion bushels.

We drive the Audi A3 TDI
by Ali Arsham
The Audi A3 is one of the best kept secrets out there. Here is an Audi at Toyota prices that still feels and drives like an Audi. The A3 was totally redesigned last year and the US market lost the hatchback version so now all A3 models are sedans. The good news is that there are many improvements along the way. There is even a rumor that the hatchback will be back in the US.

We drive the Kia Sedona SXL
by Ali Arsham
The minivan has been forgotten among many manufacturers. There are only a handful of minivans still available for sale and most have not been redesigned in a long time. Kia's Sedona minivan has been around for a long time but has not been updated for many years. Some assumed that Kia would just quietly get rid of it from their lineup but instead Kia redesigned it and has made the 2015 Sedona one of the best and most attractive minivans available.
We drive the Honda Civic EX-L and Civic Si
by Ali Arsham
The Honda Civic is an amazing car. The same basic car can be so different. We sampled our favorite Civic, the Si, along with one of the most luxurious, the EX-L. They are completely different animals and appeal to different people while they are the same chassis and are priced about the same. It is an unlikely comparison but it is intriguing.

We drive the Hyundai Genesis 3.8 V6
by Ali Arsham
The Hyundai Genesis was a significant car when it was introduced in 2009. It brought luxury to the masses by providing an alternative to the German brands at a significant discount. The 2015 Genesis brings some improvements to the second generation premium sedan. The 2015 Genesis represents a bold step forward for Hyundai, continuing to build upon its successful strategy of marketing its premium models under the Hyundai brand umbrella, rather than a costly separate luxury brand sales channel.

OMG his head is enormous....
Also, you would be well served to try another hand position. This one immediately strikes me as weird. His hand would likely be straight with his wrist, not bent.
Also, your porportions seem really off. Might want to take some extra measurements to figure it out.
And lastly, reference images. Can't get the feel you want? Find some pics, and learn from them.

By Nick Gray | Sports editor
The best-kept secret in the state of Kentucky is being held by UK's senior backup point guard: Jarrod Polson.
It's his last Big Blue Madness, and Polson said Tuesday at UK basketball media day that he may or may not have some sort of skit planned for the event on Friday.
"I'm not sure yet," Polson said with a wide grin.
He said he didn't realize it was his final Big Blue Madness until he was asked about it.
"Four years have gone by pretty quickly and I'm going to try and enjoy it," he said.
Big Blue Madness has featured some eccentric dances, including John Wall's moves in 2009 and UK Hoops head coach Matthew Mitchell's dances the past two years.
The event has also given fans some high-tech displays, like the one projected on the court featuring the history of Cats basketball last year. For this year's event, UK Athletics announced this week that fans attending Big Blue Madness should download an app to their smartphones for a display on Friday.
Some of Polson's teammates hinted at him having a plan for Friday night's festivities, though freshman forward Marcus Lee declined to comment.
"I can't say anything," Lee said.
But Lee's fellow freshman forward James Young mentioned it more freely.
"I'm looking forward to it a lot because I was here last year for it and I feel like it will be a real great experience, especially with it being the first time playing in Rupp Arena," Young said. "I'm not sure if I'm going to dance, but I heard J.P. (Polson) has a little something up his sleeve this year."
Senior guard Jon Hood confirmed the news.
"Jarrod's got something really special planned for it," Hood said. "You have to wait for it. It'll be really funny."
Polson and Hood have begun a series of "lasts," going through their last offseason, their last preseason practice and now their last Big Blue Madness before their final college seasons begin.
The duo has been through seven combined Madness events, but neither has done anything particularly notable when it comes to entertaining the crowd.
Hood has participated in four Big Blue Madness events, every event in the John Calipari era, though he was injured during the 2011 outing. The 6-foot-7 guard said he hasn't developed any senior sorrow yet.
"No, it hasn't hit me. I guess it'll hit me on Senior Night," Hood said. "I'm just worried about basketball."

Opinion Poll
KQV/Trib Total Media Listener Poll Will the President's plan to make more salaried Americans eligible for overtime pay be good for the U.S. economy? <More Info>
President Obama has proposed making more Americans eligible for overtime pay. Salaried employees who make up to $50,400 per year would be paid over-time for hours worked over 40 hours in a given week. The increased salary ceiling would bring overtime benefits to about 15 million more workers. Republicans argue that by increasing the overtime threshold will discourage companies from creating jobs, and slowing economic growth.

overpaid disability insurance- i have to pay it back, right?
Angel baby at 5 weeks Nov 2010
Rainbow baby girl born Nov 2011
Angel baby boy born sleeping 15 weeks July 2013
You were overpaid $17,000?? HUH? How long were you on disability?
Did you check your insurance documents for what you were supposed to be paid?
If you were really overpaid, they have a right to get the money back. However you should confirm.
How were you overpaid and did not realize it? I was overpaid on my last maternity leave, but that was because my employer did not stop my payroll when I was receiving my disability pay as well. I knew I was overpaid, contacted my employer, and actually reimbursed my employer the money. They give us full pay for maternity leave, so I was overpaid when I received the disability portion of 60% for 6 weeks. My employer was still paying me 100% of my salary. You have no claim to that money, you have to pay it back.
That's a lot of $$$ to be overpaid. Did they pay you in 1 lump sum or over your pay periods? But I'm pretty sure they can retrieve the funds.
You have to pay it back if you owe it. Does it make sense to you that you were getting way too much $?
FWIW - My disability insurance along with the majority of other moms paid 2/3 of my salary for 6 weeks...so an extra 17K would have stuck out pretty boldly.
( o ) ( o ) and counting
just curious, what is the possible legal standing you have in mind that get you to keep the $?
Call the insurance company and go over the math with them until you fully understand why and how much you were over paid (most likely would be they gave you a higher percentage of your FT pay than you should have gotten, or like PP pointed out you were double dipping both your company and insurance company). Once you get the number, and work with them to figure out how to pay them back (if they can put you on a schedule, etc..) and ask if there will be penalty if you can't pay it back on time.
I would make sure I am well versed in your company's disability insurance policy. Contact your claim manager and get the answers to your questions, print off the disability insurance guide book and read it from cover to cover. I am currently on disability and the handbook is my bible. There are no excuses for not knowing your benefits and keeping your financial house in order. Good luck.
viva la vida loca, just do it legally!
Wow. How long did you receive disablity? I think my TOTAL was like $1500! (6 weeks at 60% pay, minus a 2 week waiting period).
How did you not notice an overpayment of 17K?
