Nancy Veldman is living a purposeful life through Magnolia House.
Veldman said her shop at Grand Boulevard has allowed her to meet different people, explore her musical side and promote the five books she has written.
"There comes a time in every woman's life when you have to decide what to do beyond your career, beyond being a wife or a mother," Veldman said. "We all have a deeper purpose in our life that will affect everyone and have a lasting effect.
"I found that purpose."
Veldman, a native of Memphis, Tenn., opened her shop 20 years ago in Seagrove Beach and moved to Grand Boulevard nearly four years ago.
The home accessories store bursts with items in every nook, from the library filled with books to the shelves of pictures, collectibles and other dainty items for the home.
Veldman opened the shop after she moved to Walton County, but said her background and experience left a lot to be desired. After nearly 21 years, she's figured out how to function and keep her business afloat.
Through the shop, she's found a way to not only meet customers but to share her passions of writing and music, and to show love to those she meets who are broken and in need of a kind word or prayer.
Veldman said her father passed away a few years ago, and as he was being buried a song came to her. Even though she'd only had short stint of piano lessons, Veldman said she was able to sit down and play the song.
"I have no idea what key I'm playing, but it comes out," Veldman said. "That music has touched a lot of people."
Veldman's piano sounds were shared along the Emerald Coast with individuals, at centers with chemotherapy and radiation patients and in hospitals. She said the music makes the hard times better.
She also has written five books and is working on her sixth.
Through her music and customers, Veldman said she was inspired to do more. She founded Nancy Veldman Ministries, which she said helps cancer patients, single mothers, abused women and men, and other suffering people.
"The music, the novels, the ministry, it is a compelling call on my life," Veldman said. "This shop is a joy, but it's made it possible for me to meet so many people and do so many things."

10 things possibly said between Obama, Romney in first meeting
President Barack Obama invited former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to the White House on Thursday to discuss the leadership of America.
While I'm sure they covered highly important issues, including a recipe exchange for the white turkey chili recipe that was served, I started wondering what they may have said to each other while shaking hands. Here's what I came up with:
No. 1: "Sssooo...what's new?"
No. 2: "Are you going to finish your lying to the American publi...er...fries?"
No. 3 "Say, could Clinton borrow that binder of yours? I promised him I'd ask."
No. 4: "Did you see 'Breaking Dawn' yet?"
No. 5: "Remember when we had the first debate? That was great."
No. 6: "Where do you keep Biden?"
No. 7: "Michelle suggested we just do Cornish game hens, but I like Big Bird."
No. 8: "Let me take the dog for a walk...or a ride...he doesn't mind a stiff wind, does he?"
No. 9: "Sasha wants a horse for Christmas. Malia wants a bayonet."
No. 10: "You know, if you turned this place into a bed and breakfast, you'd make a killing."

text: Illamasqua DWS Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is described as a "cement grey" with a cream finish. It's a gorgeous shade of gray that doesn't lean brown–it's that perfect shade of gray skies. There's a tinge of blue in it, but it's very subtle and only picked up in really bright, direct light. Zoya's Dove was the closest shade I could think of, but it leans browner–less blue.

Students enrolled in the Hazard Independent School District got a treat on Monday as the district held its back to school bash at downtown's Triangle Park.
Helen Williams said her high school youth service center and the family youth center, under Sandy Olinger at the middle and primary schools, came together for the event along with several community organizations to kick off the new school year.
"We're bringing together a lot of community partners," Williams said, which included local organizations such as LKLP, KRADD, and the Pathfinders of Eastern Kentucky.
Other organizations at the back to school bash on Monday included UK on the North Fork which provided free sports physicals. The UK dental van was also on site for preschool kids, while the Housing Development Alliance was available to talk to parents about potential home repairs.
Students also had the opportunity to pick up some free school supplies and snacks, while the younger kids were able meet Ronald McDonald.
Classes will resume in the Hazard Independent Schools on Thursday, Aug. 8.


text: The traditional rear-view mirror is a thing of the past in the Audi R8 e-tron. A nifty digital rear-view camera will act as an extra set of eyes on the electric supercar when it goes into production at the end of the year. A 7.7-inch screen displaying an image of everything going on around back will be perched where a rear-view mirror is normally mounted. The lightweight screen features AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode), which is similar to what's used on cell phones. Thanks to a small, lightweight camera located inside a housing at the top of where the rear windshield usually is, drivers will be able to see a much wider field than an average rear-view mirror would show. The housing is heated so it won't freeze over, and the driver can dim or deactivate the mirror at any time. Audi has already used the rear-view camera system in the R18 e-tron quattro and R18 ultra race cars that ran at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the automaker won the top three spots. Since the R8 e-tron will have a limited run of 1000 units, we wonder whether the techy rear-view mirror will start trickling into a higher-volume model like the next-generation R8. Audi spokesman Mark Dahncke told us the assumption can be made, although there's presently nothing on the horizon. Whatever the case, we can see a digital rear-view mirror as a stepping stone for digital side-view mirrors, which could increase aerodynamic efficiency, reduce wind noise, and lead to bolder concept-car-like designs.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has announced that the Pierce County Sheriff's Office has joined the Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
"Wisconsin's ICAC Task Force is a national leader, and within the past decade, the task force and affiliate agencies have arrested hundreds of suspects," Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said. "We are pleased to have the Pierce County Sheriff's Office as a member and part of our mission to taking Internet predators off of the street. The training of more officers by adding affiliates only furthers my commitment to protecting Wisconsin's children."
As part of this affiliation, the Pierce County Sheriff's Office is eligible for:
To learn more about the ICAC Task Force program at the Pierce County Sheriff's Office, contact Deputy Adam Olson at 715-273-5051.
One in seven children is asked online to engage in sexual activities, sexual talk, or provide personal sexual information. Van Hollen has placed a priority on law enforcement's proactive response to the growing problem of Internet crimes against children. To that end, Van Hollen has directed a 67% increase in the number of special agents assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force within the Division of Criminal Investigation. In 2011, the ICAC Task Force was responsible for arresting more than 100 child predators while, in the same year, more than 45,000 individuals in Wisconsin attended presentations on online child exploitation to further the agency's efforts to protect children.
In addition to expanding investigative capacity internally, Van Hollen and the Department of Justice have continued to add additional local affiliates to the Wisconsin ICAC Task Force. The number of local law enforcement partners to the Department of Justice's ICAC Task Force has increased to 180 since Attorney General Van Hollen took office. A list of affiliates can be accessed at ICAC Affiliate List.
For more information on how your community can become an affiliate of the Wisconsin ICAC Task Force, contact Special Agent in Charge Jenniffer Price at (608) 266-1671.

CHARLESTON — An investigation into how The Citadel handled a complaint that a former camp counselor molested boys finds no conspiracy on the part of the school, but instead shows an inadequate probe into the complaint.
The college hired outside experts to investigate its handling of the 2007 complaint involving Skip ReVille, who is now serving 50 years in prison for sex abuse.
The report released Friday centers on a complaint about ReVille when he was a counselor at the college's summer camp in 2002. The school looked into the matter but never contacted police.
ReVille later worked at schools, camps, churches and recreation programs in the Charleston area.
A civil suit against The Citadel alleges others would not have been harmed had the college reported ReVille to police at the time.

Jane Bell isn't afraid to try new things.
Last year, that included taking up gardening for the first time at the age of 64.
"Really it has been a wonderful opportunity," she said.
After having some health issues and retiring from the Marion County Detention Center, Bell jumped into gardening with both feet. She said she's fortunate to have several friends who helped her get started with container gardening.
"The more I did the more I got interested in it," she said.

Let's face it, your last birthday party was a bit of a bust. To start with, you sent out invitations with the wrong address. Many of your guests simply went home after being yelled at by Mrs. Foggleberry (of all the addresses, you had to direct guests to the grumpiest neighbor on the block?). The ones who did figure it out were disappointed to arrive to your house and see that you were throwing a temper tantrum because your Great Aunt Sally had accidentally tripped and sent your cake flying. Those names you called her! And then you brought out the snacks- celery sticks and little pieces of burnt toast. You tried to call them "Tasty Toast Squares"! Needless to say, many of your party-goers ventured back over to Mrs. Foggleberry's to see what was going on over there.
This year the party's going to be different. You hired a professional invitation designer, left dear Aunt Sally off the guest list (she'll never get past the bouncer), and even paid Old Foggleberry to leave town (to ensure there'd be no competition). But the biggest difference? The snacks. You ordered a huge shipment of foiled chocolate candies. Everything from Chocolate Poker Chips to Ghirardelli Deluxe Chocolate Squares. After all, no one can resist something that's chocolate and shiny. Foiled candies are party fare at its finest.

This week (October 22–28, 2012) is the sixth annual Open Access Week, a global event which presents opportunities for the academic and research community to celebrate and learn more about the potential benefits of Open Access. Because Southern Spaces is an open access journal, we thought that it would be appropriate for us to share the details of a recent legal challenge to the access and preservation of library books on the blog as a part of our contribution to spreading awareness (and celebrating!) this week.
On October 10, Harold Baer, Federal District Judge of the Second District of New York, handed down his decision in The Authors Guild, Inc. v. HathiTrust. HathiTrust is a digital repository in partnership with over sixty major research institutions and libraries "working to ensure that the cultural record is preserved and accessible long into the future." The Authors Guild is group which advocates "for writers' interests in effective copyright protection, fair contracts and free expression." The Authors Guild's suit alleged that the massive digitization and preservation effort undertaken by the HathiTrust and its affiliates represented a copyright violation. The HathiTrust countered that their digitization project is fair use because it is intended to preserve print materials in perpetuity, give access to print-disabled readers as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and enable non-expressive uses like comprehensive word searches, text mining, and data analysis.
Baer's ruling represented a major victory for the HathiTrust, its affiliates, and fair use advocates. Below is a "score card" of the results of the ruling written by Matthew Sag, an Associate Professor of Law at Loyola University of Chicago who is an expert in copyright law. In his blog post on the case, "HathiTrust Wins on Fair Use, and just about everything else," he included the following list of the judge's findings:
- Digitization to provide access for the print-disabled held to be transformative use and, on balance, fair use.
- Digitization to provide for print-disabled students held to be (i) an obligation of universities under the ADA, (ii) fair use under section 107 of the Copyright Act and (iii) enabled by section 121 of the Copyright Act.
- Section 108 the Copyright Act was held to expand the rights of libraries, not limit the scope of their fair use rights in any way, shape or form. Given the text says "Nothing in this section . . . in any way affects the right of fair use as provided by section 107" any ruling to the contrary would have been pretty shocking.
- Digitization to create a search index held to be a transformative use, and, on balance, fair use.
- Alleged security risks created by library digitization—dismissed as speculative and unproven. The judge noted the strong evidence to the contrary. It is still an open question whether the risk of subsequent illegal act by a third party could ever render an initial lawful copy not fair use. The whole notion strikes me as rather odd.
- The market effect of library digitization—the court found there was none to speak of in this case. The court rejected the CCC's magic toll-booth arguments—i.e., there were some wild assertions about future licensing revenue that the court rejected as "conjecture."
- The court also notes that a copyright holder cannot preempt a transformative market merely by offering to license it.
- The market effect of enabling print-disabled access to library books—the court found there was no market for this under-served group, nor was one likely to develop.
As Sag's list makes clear, the HathiTrust case represents a major victory for libraries, universities, and the Digital Humanities community. The American Library Association and the Library Copyright Association welcomed the ruling this week, suggesting that it helps set a significant precedent regarding the relationship between library intiatives and copyright laws.
"This ruling is significant for all libraries and universities because it goes to the heart of the mission of libraries, which is to preserve and make accessible our cultural heritage" says Lisa Macklin, director of scholarly communications at Emory Libraries. "The power of full-text searching and non-expressive research like text mining is growing more important to our faculty, students, and researchers, and is only possible with a digital library like HathiTrust. It is heartening that the court so clearly found that HathiTrust's creation and use of the digital library was a fair use under copyright law, particularly in serving print-disabled students."

- Today marks the fortieth anniversary of the 1972 Clean Water Act, which regulates water quality standards and limits water pollution. Citizen groups in Appalachia marked the anniverary by highlighting legislative efforts with the potential to undermine the law and questioning its fair application. The organization Appalachian Voices published a report today titled "The Clean Water Act at 40" (PDF) which details how a majority of legislators in eight Appalachian states have voted for bills challenging the Act, which was initially supported by "all but one of sixty-five representatives from the southeastern states." Also this week, the Sierra Club and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth challenged permits granted under the Clean Water Act for mountaintop removal mining operations in Kentucky and West Virginia arguing that "in Appalachia . . . the Clean Water Act is not being enforced."
- Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant announced today that his state, which has among the highest rates of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, will turn down federal funds to expand Medicaid, even though one in seven of the state's residents are without insurance. Under the new health care law, the federal government would pay for the full cost of expanding Medicaid between 2014 and 2016, but would then rachet down its support until it would be paying for ninety percent of the program's increased costs, requiring states to chip in the remaining ten percent. Mississippi's governor has joined other southern Republican governors from Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Texas in declining to participate in the program, in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling which upheld the health care law but declared state participation in its Medicaid expansion component optional.

|John Egerton, PDF of "Possum on Terrace," 1987.
In 1985, "The Southern War Correspondents and Camp Followers Association" and "The Popham Seminar" held a joint meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, to celebrate journalist Johnny Popham's seventy-fifth birthday. John Egerton, a journalist and scholar who has written about southern race relations, education, and food wrote this unpublished manuscript in 1987 detailing the 1985 conference and Popham's biography.
A Virginia native, Popham was sent by the New York Times to cover the US South in the mid-twentieth century. In 1958, after twenty-five years on the road, he became the editor of The Chattanooga Times. There, he established himself as at the center of a network of southern journalists, education leaders, and politicians engaged in the civil rights movement. Popham also became known for his signature oratorical storytelling style, described by Claude Sitton in this piece as "dollops of sorghum syrup spat from a Gatling gun" (35).
|John Egerton, "Possum on Terrace" with handwritten notes, 1987.
Popham became a leader of a group of who called themselves the War Correspondents, white men who made their careers covering civil rights and desegregation era racial politics for southern newspapers. These men along with a group of higher education specialists also started informal conferences, which they called Popham Seminars, beginning in 1969. Most of the text of this essay is culled from Popham's speech at the 1985 conference and from interviews with other War Correspondents, making this a valuable document for inquiry into civil rights movement history and journalism. Popham, Egerton, and their colleagues continually use the language of war to describe the milieu of race relations reporting, but they do so with an ironic joviality that highlights the bond that formed between men bound by politics and circumstance.
Southern Spaces presents Egerton's tribute to Johnny Popham, "Possum on Terrace: The Southern Life and Times of Johnny Popham and a Few of His Friends," as an unedited manuscript in the spirit of archiving papers of southern figures in twentieth-century journalism.

- October 1 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the integration of the University of Mississippi. A number of media outlets reflected upon how James Meredith enrolled at the university amid violent riots in 1962. National Public Radio marked the anniversary on its Morning Edition, Tell Me More, and All Things Considered programs by interviewing historians of the integration of the University of Mississippi, James Meredith and his relatives, and students currently enrolled at the university. Kitty Dumas, an African American alumna of the university, offered her own reflection on the university's history in The New York Times. Amanda Lewis, Associate Professor of Sociology at Emory University, and John Diamond, Associate Professor of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education, marked the anniversary by questioning the notion that public schools in the United States are really desegregated, asking "Is this the desegregation Meredith fought for?"
- In Florida, confusion over the voting eligibility of thousands of ex-felons has a number of interest groups involved in a campaign to clarify the voter rolls across the state. In Tampa, ex-felons who had their voting rights reinstated by the state government recently received notice from their counties to the contrary. Voting eligibility of ex-felons in this swing state is especially important because laws restricting rights of felons affect nearly a quarter of all African-Americans of voting age in Florida.
- Georgia Power (a unit of Southern Company, the second largest power company in the United States) announced on September 27 that it was seeking permission to purchase up to 210 megawatts of solar power by 2017. The proposed "Advanced Solar Initiative" would represent the largest voluntary purchase of solar energy by an investor-owned utility in the country.
- On September 27, the Arkansas Supreme Court handed down a ruling which will make the state the first in the South to propose the legalization of medical marijuana via ballot initiative.

- The past week the Georgia Secretary of State announced that the Georgia State Archives would close effective November 1, 2012. A great deal of protest followed this announcement, including letters from the American Historical Association and the Society of American Archivists, the Association of Canadian Archivists, and others. Georgia would have been the only state in the nation to close its central state archives. Then, on Wednesday, Governor Nathan Deal pledged that he would keep the archives open; however, the archives will be open for shorter hours and with a reduced staff.

This series of Carl Mydans photographs depicting wheat farmers in the Tygart Valley of West Virginia struck us as particularly interesting, so we decided to post it as this week's set of featured images. While scouring the Library of Congress's Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives Collection, I came across the first image in the series, which seems to traffic in nostalgic visions of an agrarian landscape filled with small farmers. However, the sequence of photographs below actually shows how West Virginia farmers combined old and new technologies of agricultural production during the Great Depression. More of Mydans's photographs from the Tygart Valley can be found on the Library of Congress website.

Picture: Jasmin Riggins, Gary Maitland, Ken Loach, Paul Brannigan and William Ruane UK premiere of 'The Angel's Share' at Cineworld Glasgow Glasgow, Scotland - 29.05.12
British director Ken Loach has refused a lifetime achievement award at the upcoming Turin Film Festival in protest of a labour dispute at the National Film Museum in Italy.
The filmmaker was scheduled to be honoured with the prestigious Gran Premio Torino trophy for his career success, but he has pulled out of the prizegiving gala after learning workers at the museum had lost wages, while others had been fired in a money-saving effort.
Loach, who has examined social issues including labour disputes in his often gritty movies, was appalled to discover the museum's cleaning and security employees were mistreated after challenging salary cuts.
In a letter to festival bosses on Wednesday (21Nov12), the director announced he would not be attending the gala, stating he felt "compelled to refuse the prize," adding, "The workers who were worst paid and therefore most vulnerable lost their jobs for opposition to a reduction in pay. It is unfair that the poorest pay the price for an economic crisis they are not responsible for.
"How could I not respond to a request for solidarity from workers who were sacked for fighting for their rights? Accepting the prize and just making some critical comments would have been weak and hypocritical."
Museum bosses have fired back, stating, "It displeases us that a great film director, someone we have always admired, has been badly informed... (in a way) that does not reflect in any way the reality."
A scheduled screening of Loach's new film The Angels' Share at the festival has been cancelled.
The week-long Turin Film Festival will celebrate it's 30th year when it opens on Friday (23Nov12) with a screening of Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut Quartet.

Each year, the Mays Business School tracks Aggie-owned and Aggie-led businesses and how they're growing and impacting the world at large and even at home. And each year in the fall, Mays' Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship honors those businesses.
Friday marked the eighth annual Aggie 100 to honor the 100 fastest growing Aggie businesses. Around 700 people were at the Zone Club at Kyle Field to hear the list. Three oil-related companies topped the rankings for 2012.
Navidad Resources out of Tyler (206 percent growth), MudTech Services out of Houston (192 percent) and Tolteq out of Cedar Park (160 percent) saw the biggest growth over the past year.
Local businesses also made the list this year:
4. Woodbolt International (144 percent)
60. JB Knowledge Technologies (42 percent)
65. B&B Laboratories (40 percent)
66. The Pool Guy (38 percent)
84. Brazos Technology (34 percent)
"Aggies have paved roads to success across industries and business sectors, as well as across generations," said Richard Lester, the executive director of the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship. "Aggie leaders have proven time and time again that even in tough economic times, solid business ideas, tenacity and hard work pay off."
This years list had a mix of regulars and newcomers. Forty businesses were part of the Aggie 100 for the first time. Eight had been on the list at least five times.

The weather was anything but awesome last week. While that topic took a front seat on "The Morning Rush," it took the arrest of a celebrity to break up the monotony of bad weather. Of course I'm talking about Justin Bieber's run-in with the Miami Beach Police. Here's how this whole thing played out behind-the-scenes.
During a commercial break in the middle of Thursday's show, Sara Hegarty shouted, "Breaking news, Justin Bieber was just arrested."
We all jumped online to learn the details, and they were impressive.
To make a long story short, Bieber was arrested for DUI, resisting arrest without violence and driving on an expired license. We learned that police alleged that Bieber and his friend (singer Khalil) were drag racing through a residential neighborhood in Miami. The police claimed they were driving at speeds in excess of 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. As far as our audience was concerned, this was news that wasn't really shocking. After all, this is the guy that police served a search warrant on because he allegedly caused thousands of dollars of damage by throwing eggs at his neighbor's house.
As usual, whenever we get breaking news, we post it on our Facebook page and allow everyone to comment on it. The comments flew in and ranged from "send him back to Canada" to "loser."
One of the things we noticed was the large number of teenaged kids outside the jail holding signs that read "Free Bieber," and posts to Twitter that were more ridiculous, such as "all he did was drive drunk, why is he in hand-cuffs?"
One of the reasons this story became such a huge monster was because of how far Bieber has fallen from where he was. Added to the fall from perfection is the fact that he's a role model for kids. Like it or not, it's true. And to see signs questioning the legitimacy of his arrest for DUI really scared me.
I don't like seeing anyone trivialize driving under the influence, regardless of their age. I've had very close friends killed by drunk drivers, and the subject matter is rather close to me. To think that there are people out there that still don't understand how serious it is to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is crazy.
Now that all the breaking news has calmed down, we're hearing that Bieber actually blew a .011 and then again a .014. Those are both below the "zero tolerance" threshold Florida has for drivers younger than 21 (which is .02). Still, Bieber admitted to smoking pot and taking prescription drugs, both of which can impair your ability to drive. So, even if you're upset he got a DUI for blowing under the legal limit, you need to know that DUI counts for drugs, too — not just alcohol.
There's also some evidence being released that Bieber may not have been speeding in the first place. That's making people question why Bieber was pulled over. Of course, that's fueling rumors that there was a conspiracy to arrest Bieber.
Let's not lose sight on the real issue(s) here. There's still a 19-year-old kid that got behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs, and failed to comply with the police when pulled over. Those facts mean he endangered the lives of innocent people, all because he felt like he could. This isn't OK.
Many of the problems Bieber is facing are due to his lack of discipline and parental supervision. But as a parent, you can use this unfortunate situation to discuss some important issues with your own kids. Issues like deciding to get behind the wheel of a vehicle after choosing to take drugs and/or alcohol. These are serious choices that need to be discussed with our kids so we can make sure they're not standing outside a courthouse holding a sign that places no blame on someone for putting others' lives in danger.
Or worse — killing someone due to driving drunk.

Redskins take CB Amerson, TE Reed in NFL draft
The Washington Redskins did the expected, then pulled a bit of a surprise Friday during the NFL draft.
The reigning NFC East champions chose cornerback David Amerson of North Carolina State in the second round, a selection that perfectly fit the profile of a team needing to improve a defense that ranked 30th in the league against the pass last year.
Then, in the third round, the Redskins made a move anticipated by neither the team nor the player involved. Even though safety and right tackle are bigger needs, the name announced at Radio City Music Hall was tight end Jordan Reed from Florida - a player coach Mike Shanahan compared to Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patriots.
"We weren't necessarily looking for a tight end," Shanahan said. "But when he was there, we couldn't pass him up."
Both players should have a chance to make an impact right away. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Amerson set a single-season Atlantic Coast Conference record with 13 interceptions in 2011 and won the Jack Tatum Award as the nation's top defensive back, although his play regressed last year as he tried to do even better. He became a hit-or-miss player, making five interceptions while getting beat far too often for touchdowns.
"At the beginning of the season, I was trying to make every play, trying to make everything an interception, trying to just jump every route," Amerson said from Raleigh, N.C., where he watched the draft in a house filled with friends, family and a generous spread of food.
"I started sitting on routes, eyes in the backfield, stuff like that. It was more of me beating myself more than just getting beat by other receivers, and that's something I had to eliminate. It was hurting my team. It was hurting myself."
The drop-off led to speculation that he would be better suited for safety in the NFL, but the Redskins see him as a cornerback. He said he's ready to re-learn the fundamentals as he joins a team with designs of becoming a Super Bowl contender in Robert Griffin III's second year at quarterback.
"I have to get back to the basics," Amerson said. "And playing football like I know how to play."
The Redskins still have last season's two starting cornerbacks - DeAngelo Hall and Josh Wilson - and both took pay cuts to remain with the team as it slashed salaries to deal with a cap penalty imposed by the NFL. Neither is under contract beyond this year.
Shanahan suggested that Hall could be moved to safety, leaving an open for Amerson to challenge for a starting job. The coach said he wasn't concerned by Amerson's lapse last year.
"We don't worry about that," Shanahan said. "We're going to coach him the way we want to coach him. He's going to fit in our system. We think he's got the athletic ability to make plays."
Amerson was the first player chosen by the Redskins in this year's draft. The team didn't have a first-round pick, having shipped it to the St. Louis Rams last year for the trade that put Washington into position to select Griffin.
While Amerson knew the Redskins were interested - he had dinner with Shanahan in the lead-up to the draft - Reed didn't have a clue that he was on the team's radar.
"I had no idea I was going to get picked by Washington," the 6-foot-2, 236-pound tight end said. "Big surprise to me. I'm just so excited."
Reed was recruited as a quarterback by Florida and moved to tight end in 2011. Last year he led the Gators in receiving with 45 catches for 559 yards.
The Redskins already have Fred Davis, Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen at tight end, but the position has gained more prominence in the NFL passing game in recent years because of versatile players like Hernandez. Shanahan said he could envision all four tight ends on the field at once, especially with Reed's route-running potential.
"A lot like Hernandez," Shanahan said. "I'm not sure if Hernandez is that fast, but he's got the ability to beat linebackers and defensive backs because he knows how to run routes, and this guy's very similar."

Three people arrested in December when authorities confiscated over $5,000 in drugs and $1,000 cash have all been indicted by a Scioto County grand jury.
Charged with trafficking and possession of drugs - heroin, trafficking and possession of drugs - cocaine, tampering with evidence and possession of criminal tools with forfeiture specification, were Chanel L. Bufkin, 26; Jermer A. Howard, 24, and Lapercy D. Allen, 33, all of Toledo.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, troopers stopped a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica on U.S. 23 South, near Lucasville, at about 9:12 p.m. on Dec. 26, 2012 for a registration violation. After approaching the vehicle, the trooper detected an odor of marijuana coming from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. During a pat down of one of the occupants, the trooper discovered a baggie containing 13 grams of marijuana.
Bufkin, the driver of the vehicle, advised the trooper that she was concealing contraband on her person and voluntarily forfeited 15 grams of cocaine and 23 grams of heroin. The combined contraband had a street value of about $5,015. Troopers also seized about $1,000 in cash.
Bufkin and her passengers — Howard and Allen, were all taken to the Scioto County Jail.

[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
Look, My life's a party I'm just tryna get my fun in
While I'm young and going hard and this shit I say is stunnin'
I bust in your face just to let you know I'm comin'
And I'm balling in the Golden State I think I'm Chris Mullin
Been hearing disrespect from all these children that I'm sonnin'
For I been putting work in you ain't been putting none in
So, thinkin' hatin on me, might just get you somethin'
Are you dumb and you just wanna start some shit up off of nothing?
Look, I don't get it, you haters are pathetic
See, another man's success should only hurt you if you let it
I know you like my style and my image and aesthetic
How I put my plans in motion that's kinetic, you get it?
Look, Hating on me, bro that shit will get you nowhere
Your bitch checked into my show on her Foursquare
They like, "How he gets them hoes, though it's no fair!"
But hard work is paying big we don't need to go there
[Hook: Sample from Au Revoir Simone's "Only You Can Make Me Happy"]
Only you can make you happy, oh oh
(Gettin' business more, homey fuck you trippin' for?)
Only you can make you happy, oh oh
(It's so profound, hit the stage they go wild)
Only you can make you happy, oh oh
(You rappers get ignored, I'm who they checkin' for)
Only you can make you happy, oh oh
(I'm well know now, hit the stage they go wild)
[Verse 2: KAM Royal]
All these haters on my dick like a condom is
But if they startin' shit we spark em quick like Chronic hits
The bombest chicks give me compliments, yeah it's common sense
Cause I'm coming with the Heat like Wade, Lebron, and Chris
DC boy and G-Eazy down in NOLA, when I drop my album bet it sells like Motorola
I get naked photos on my Blackberry when I'm touring yeah
I love a groupie chick cause she never questions my motives, rah
Cocaina I be coming with the dope
Tell them industry folks stay on your toes like a ballerina
I'm spitting my raps, ripping up tracks like I had cleats on it
It's a game of Simon Says, how y'all followin' leader
Bitch I'm still undefeated you ain't seen a single W
Who the fuck are you? I'm the best, no substitute
Stick with my team, perfect family like the Huxtables
Living life and I love it dude, yeeh

It sounds like the NICU docs and nurses are trying really hard to keep my sis and her DH from getting confident, etc. To me it sounds like Ethan hasnt had any major problems. No blood transfusion, infections, real close calls ,etc. But they docs/nurses keep saying things about him being so sick. Yesterday her DH said " well other than these few things you mentioned he is doing pretty good, right?" and the nurse said "no, we dont even consider him stable yet". Then this morning everything was good! His BP was better so they were able to take him off his meds, he started peeing again, his O2 level and blood gases were good and they had not new problems or worries. My sister said " so he's doing pretty good them?" and the nurse said "well, for now but that could all chance in 30 mintes, hes still a very sick little boy". which made my sis start crying again[V] WHy couldnt they just let her be happy that it was good right now? I guess they just want to make sure she understands the seriousness of it all, but she does. I wish they would at least let her be happy when things are good, KWIM?

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is warning that automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect March 1 will result in travel delays at major airports and require traffic-disrupting shutdowns of air traffic control towers at smaller facilities.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says the across the board reductions will require trimming $600 million this year form the Federal Aviation Administration. LaHood says that will mean furloughing air traffic controllers, which in turn will reduce the ability to guide planes in and out of airports.
He says travelers could experience 90 minute delays or more in major cities.
The transportation reductions are part of broader, cuts that will hit across government agencies that will begin to kick in at the end of next week.
LaHood's appearance in the White House briefing room was part of a continuing campaign by Cabinet members and other administration officials aimed at buttressing President Barack Obama's appeal to Congress to replace the cuts with tax increases and targeted reductions. Congressional Republicans oppose any additional tax increases.
Asked whether it appeared inevitable that the cuts would materialize, press secretary Jay Carney said: "We obviously are discouraged by the line that Republican leaders have taken, which is the book is closed on revenue. ... We remain hopeful and we will continue to engage with Congress."
LaHood, a former Republican congressman from Illinois, denied that he was simply describing a worst-case scenario that would scare the public and put pressure on Republican lawmakers. He said the effect of the cuts will begin to be felt around the beginning of April.
"What I'm trying to do is wake up members of the Congress with the idea that they need to come to the table so we don't have to have this kind of calamity in air services in America," he said.
LaHood said the main reason the White House had asked him to appear before White House-based reporters was because he is a Republican making the case for Obama with Republican lawmakers.

Turin is a real gem of an Italian city, sitting pretty at the top of the country with the magnificent backdrop of the Alps mountain range. It may not be known for being glamorous like Northern neighbour Milan, nor romantic like watery Venice, yet Turin has a magic all of its own.
Flying into Turin works perfectly for ski holidays, as the snowy slopes of the Alps are practically on the city's doorstep. The impressive network of ski resorts known as the Milky Way is within striking distance, with Claviere (old school charm), Sauze d'Oulx (loud and lively), Sestriere (for challenging runs), Montgenevre (quiet French resort) and Sansicario (popular with families) all being within two hours of the Italian city.
Bardonecchia is one of the closest ski resorts to Turin, which makes it a good choice if you fancy a short ski break. This traditional town surrounding by pines and snowy peaks is a favourite with Turin locals, and the après ski scene can get fairly lively on the weekends. Alternatively, it's easy to stay in the centre of Turin, travelling out to the slopes if you wish.
Staying in Turin will see you treated to an elegant Italian city experience, with pretty piazzas, wide tree-lined avenues, leafy parks and classical architecture. The Mole Antonelliana, a 167m tower topped with an aluminium spire, is one of the city's major landmarks and is now home to the National Cinema Museum, while the white-walled Royal Palace is a real sight to behold - both inside and out. You should also tick the Egyptian Museum, the impressive Piazza Castello and Valentino Park off your list to make the most of any visit.
A tour of Turin will see you taking in stunning architecture, beautiful fountains and elaborate landmarks, as well as a classy but lively nightscene. Contrast this with the vast mountain ranges, amazing snow conditions and pretty village resorts that can be seen from the city centre and it's clear that this is a destination which has it all.
Whatever you want to see in and around Turin, Thomascook Airlines has cheap flights to get you there.
