Kehjistan is the great empire of the eastern lands of Sanctuary, located along the eastern coast of the Twin Seas, with the emerald jungles surrounding Kurast in the south, and the desolation surrounding Caldeum in the north.
History Edit
Several thousand years ago, hunter-gatherers found themselves drawn to the lush, fertile rain forests and bountiful game inhabiting southern Kehjistan. But there was something else; Kehjistan's geography was rife with nodes of magical energies, and eventually those with innate, arcane abilities began to sense and recognize these forces, gathering in groups to settle these special areas. It was here that the original mage clans, the Vizjerei, the Ennead and the Ammuit, were founded. Unfortunately the history of Kehjistan is not a peaceful one, and the Mage Clan Wars that erupted nearly destroyed the clans.
In ancient times, the great city of Kehjan was the capital city of the Eastern Kingdom. Though the ultimate fate of the once grand city remains unknown, there's much speculation about whether the lands were named after the city or vice-versa. it is also not clear where it was located, although the jungle environment suggests it was somewhere in the general region of Kurast.
The capital was located at Kurast for some time, until the elite of the city fled to Caldeum when the Prime Evil Mephisto revealed himself. Emperor Hakan I soon followed and kept imperial power centered in Caldeum even when Mephisto fell, as he no longer trusted the Zakarum. He died shortly after, and the crown passed to his son, the child emperor Hakan II.
Geography Edit
Kehjistan encompasses almost one-third of Sanctuary's eastern hemisphere. With an average rainfall of over four hundred inches per year, Kehjistan has the largest rainforests in the known world. This huge expanse of jungle feeds the Argentek River, which is the longest, widest river in Sanctuary. Hundreds of smaller rivers and tributaries twist and turn their way through the lush tropical forests until they finally unite with the mighty Argentek.
Herbalists and alchemists revere the rainforest environment for its ecological diversity. Until recently, these sages would come from far and wide to study and collect the rare plants and animals that make their homes here. Now the jungle is far too dangerous to visit, let alone inhabit. Entire villages, even small cities have been wiped out. News has broken that Kurast, the current capital of Kehjistan, is now under siege by the powers of Hell, and is kept safe only through powerful magical barriers that even now begin to ebb and fade.
Known Locations Edit
Background Edit
Although implied to be simply a geographic region, it is revealed in Diablo III and related promotional materials that Kehjistan is actual an imperial state exercising control over both the lush jungles that dominate the core of the eastern continent as well as the drier desert to the north.

I've seen some nice compound bows that seem to be geared toward novices only to realize that they are more for "youths , women or small-framed individuals". I am none of the above. I'm a 225 lb. adult male who is in desperate need of advice and opinions as to what compound bows would be best suited for me (beginner). I would prefer bow "packages" so that I'm able to shoot right out of the box. Thanks in advance for anyone and everyone's help.

LIBERTY, NC — It's been 11 months since Julian Fire Chief Jeff Folwell fell 25 feet from a highway overpass and lived to tell about it.
On December 16, 2011 he wasn't sure he'd make it to where he is today.
Now he says he is 70-75% of what he was before the fall, but a day after Thanksgiving he's thankful to have recovered at all.
Folwell was off duty, helping a stranded motorist when he jumped over a guard rail to avoid a hydroplaning car. It was dark, and he didn't realize he was standing on a bridge until he fell and broke nearly everything on the left side of his body.
Folwell struggled through surgeries, infections, and immense pain until he began walking again in May.
Now he still has trouble with his left side, including a left leg that is now significantly shorter than the right one.
"I'm just glad I'm alive," Folwell said.

1. Field
The present invention relates to processing Internet Protocol (IP) transmissions in a communication system, and specifically to mapping a Network Access Identifier (NAI) to an IP address.
2. Background
With the proliferation of Internet-capable devices, both wireless and wireline devices, the number of addresses available for routing IP (Internet Protocol) transmissions is being depleted. As a result, in some regions users are no longer assigned a static IP address, but rather are dynamically assigned an IP address to accommodate the many users within a given system. The total number of IP addresses available is a function of the number of bits per address. One method for increasing the number of addresses is to increase the size of the IP address. Larger IP addresses, however, increase the loading and processing complexity of a system and increasing the address size requires a total upgrade of the entire IP network (Internet), incurring significant costs.
There is a need, therefore, for an efficient and accurate method of providing IP addresses for an ever increasing number of users, and for efficiently using the IP addresses available.
The word "exemplary" is used exclusively herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.
With the proliferation of wireless Internet devices, there is a clear shortage in the number of globally routable IPv4 addresses. In countries outside of the U.S., namely Asia and Europe, the pool of global IPv4 addresses is almost depleted. Because of this, users often are not assigned static IP addresses and may not always be directly reached via IP protocols from the Internet. Network Address Translators (NATs) have been introduced as a means of expanding the number of IPv4 addresses in a private network; however, NATs assign private IP addresses that cannot be reached from outside the private network (i.e., they are not globally routable).
According to the exemplary embodiment, local users are assigned a global Network Access Identifier (NAI). The NAI is used as an individual address (e.g., firstname.lastname@example.com) instead of an IPv4 address. A gateway is then used to convert a user's NAI into a local, private IP address via a translation mapping provided by the NAT. The private IP address may be used by the private network to forward the packets to the user. The exemplary embodiment may be implemented in a wireless network and applied to mobile stations without modification to a given communication standard.
As discussed hereinabove, one method for increasing available IP sessions without increasing the number of IP addresses incorporates a Network Address Translator (NAT) as an interface between a regional communication system and a local communication system. Typically in a local communication system, only a small percentage of hosts communicate outside of the local system or domain at any given time. The local domain, such as a corporate network, only handles traffic originated or destined to hosts in the domain. Many of these hosts never communicate outside of the local domain. Therefore, only a subset of the IP addresses inside a local domain need to be translated into IP addresses that are globally unique for regional communication. The NAT provides a translation to and from the local network and thus replaces the end-to-end significance of an IP address with a mapping of a global IP address to a local address. The benefit of the NAT is the increased capacity in the network.
The NAT is a router function that may be configured as shown in
The NAT effectively allows the routing of a "fake" IP network over a "real" one. The real IP network is typically the Internet or a system supporting an Internet Protocol (IP), whereas a fake IP network refers to a local network. The NAT allows a single IP address connection to multiple users. The NAT serves as the interface between the fake IP network and the real network.
In operation, a user in the local network, such as local network A, sends a packet to the regional network through the local router 106 to the NAT 104. The NAT 104 interface translates the user address in local network A into a global IP address. The NAT 104 also translates the source port number to a unique port number. To the regional network, all packets from NAT 104 appear to be from one user, when in fact, any number of users may be included in the local network A. When regional network sends a packet to the local network A, the packet is addressed to the global IP address. The NAT 104 interface translates the global IP address into a local address and routes the packet to the appropriate user and/or device on the local network A. As a protection to the local network A, if the packet is not in response to a request from the local network, or it is not a packet destined for a predetermined service or IP address, the NAT 104 interface drops the packet and does not pass it to the local network. Operation with respect to local network B, local router 110, and NAT 108 is similar.
The gateway 204 is coupled to an IP network or cloud 206, which is further coupled to NAT zone A 208 and NAT zone B 210. The IP cloud 206 may be any network that is capable of processing packetized data, and specifically, packets having an IP format. When packets are sent from the gateway to the NAT zones, the IP address of the appropriate NAT is included as the destination address.
In a communication system having an interface with an Internet Protocol (IP) type network, specific signaling protocols are commonly used to address initiation, termination, and other issues involved in a communication. One such protocol is the Session Initiation Protocol or SIP. SIP is a signaling protocol used for Internet conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification and instant messaging, as well as many other Internet applications. SIP was developed within the IETF MMUSIC (Multiparty Multimedia Session Control) working group, with work proceeding since September 1999 in the IETF SIP working group; SIP is described in RFC 2543 entitled "SIP: Session Initiation Protocol," which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions may include, but are not limited to: Internet multimedia conferences, Internet telephone calls and multimedia distribution. Members in a session can communicate via multicast or via a mesh of unicast relations, or a combination thereof. The SIP specifies the signaling used to initiate, maintain and terminate a session, such as a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) session.
SIP may be used to establish, modify and terminate multimedia sessions or calls. Multimedia sessions may include multimedia conferences, distance learning, Internet telephony and similar applications. SIP may be used to invite both persons and devices, such as a media storage service, etc., to both unicast and multicast sessions, wherein the initiator may send invitations to a session to which it is not a part of. SIP may be used to initiate sessions as well as invite members to sessions that have been advertised and established by other means. Sessions may be advertised using multicast protocols such as Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), electronic mail, news groups, web pages or directories, among others. The SIP transparently supports name mapping and redirection services, allowing the implementation of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Intelligent Network telephony subscriber services. These facilities also enable personal mobility. In the parlance of telecommunications intelligent network services, personal mobility is the ability of end users to originate and receive calls and access subscribed telecommunication services on any terminal in any location, and the ability of the network to identify end users as they move. Personal mobility is based on the use of a unique personal identity (i.e., personal number).
Initially, when a Mobile Station (MS) or other mobile device (not shown) is assigned a private/local IP address in a NAT zone, the MS registers with a gateway using SIP registration procedures. The gateway 204 may be a "PUSH" gateway. The term PUSH implies that the gateway allows applications on the Internet to push traffic to the user, without requiring the user to make a request for the information. Similarly, a user request for information from the Internet is referred to as a "PULL." The registration message from the MS passes through the NAT to the IP network 206, wherein the payload includes the registration message; the message sent from the MS is a SIP registration message. The SIP registration message includes NAI specific to the MS. The packet is forwarded from the IP network 206 to the PUSH gateway 204. The same SIP registration message is included, however, the source IP address and port is changed by the NAT. The PUSH gateway 204 extracts the NAI information from the packet and records the NAI. The gateway 204 also extracts and records the translated source address and port number of the message (i.e., IP address of NAT and the translated port number for the user's private IP address). Note that the translated IP source address and port number are in the TCP or UDP header. The PUSH gateway 204 generates and maintains a mapping of NAI to NAT IP address and port number. In this way, on receipt of an incoming message from the Internet that contains the NAI of the MS, the gateway 204 is able to direct messages to the NAI associated with the target recipient. The PUSH gateway 104 translates the destination IP address and port number corresponding to the NAI information. The packet is then forwarded to the appropriate NAT via standard IP routing procedures. Upon receipt of the packet, the NAT performs standard network address translation to direct the packet to a private IP address associated with the MS. When the message is received at the MS, the MS may use this message to start a session, including a PULL-type of session such as HTTP, SMTP, FTP, etc., responsive to the message content.
For wireless mobility, the MS re-registers with the PUSH gateway 204 whenever it roams into a different NAT zone. In each zone, the MS is assigned a private IP address, which will be translated into a distinct NAT IP address and port number when the MS registers with the PUSH gateway 204. When the PUSH gateway 204 receives a new registration for an MS having an active NAI mapping, i.e., MS already has an existing record of a mapping between the NAI and a NAT address & port number, the PUSH gateway 204 replaces the existing mapping with the new NAT address and port number specified in the new registration.
After registration is complete, the system is prepared to deliver PUSH traffic to the MS. When the CS sends packets to the MS, it directs the packets to the gateway 404 and includes the MS specific NAI. At step 512, the system processes these incoming packets based on the NAI and the MS local NAT mapping. The gateway 404 uses the MS NAI to direct the packets to the corresponding NAT address and port number of the MS. Within NAT A 406 the local routing to MS 412 is performed. The NAT A 406 uses the port number to identify the MS 412 among all the users supported in the zone.
The MS may also initiate a packet transfer, as illustrated from time t5, wherein the MS client desires to retrieve data from the Internet, or other IP packet source. The MS client sends a request through NAT—A, wherein the MS client is identified as the source. The NAT—A translates the source address into the NAT—A IP address and the port number assigned to the MS by the NAT—A at time t6. The packet is then sent from the Internet, or other IP packet source, at time t7. On receiving the requested packet, the NAT—A changes the destination IP address, i.e., NAT IP address, based on the destination port number at time t8 and delivers the packet to the MS.
The mapping recorded at the gateway is illustrated in
As described with respect to the embodiments detailed hereinabove, when an MS is assigned a local network IP address, i.e., a private IP address, the MS registers with a gateway. The local network is part of a NAT zone, wherein within the local network each user is identified by a private IP address. Outside the local network, all users in the local network are identified by the IP address of the NAT and the corresponding port numbers. Each MS registers with a gateway using SIP registration procedures. The registration request includes the NAI of the MS. The registration message passes through the NAT (of the zone) and is forwarded to the gateway, typically via an IP cloud. The gateway records the NAI included in SIP registration message and the translated source address and port number of the registration message source. The gateway thus records the NAT IP address, and the port number of the user's private IP address. The gateway maintains the mapping of NAI to NAT IP address and port number. Upon receipt of SIP messages from the Internet addressed to an NAI, the gateway translates the destination IP address and port number accordingly.
The gateway records the mapping of the users NAI to the NAT IP address and port number. The use of the NAI increases the available identifiers, as the NAI is globally unique and has significant more combinations for use than those defined in IPv4.

Publisher Comments:
Born in Kandahar in 1978, Sultan fled to the United States at age five with her family. Raised in Brooklyn and Flushing, Queens, Sultan saw her life change when she was married by arrangement at the young age of seventeen to a virtual stranger fourteen years her senior — a marriage she struggled to maintain and then hastily fought, eventually (after three years) being granted a divorce. This very divorce would become one of the first in her close-knit Afgan community, where the subject is considered rare and taboo.
Sultan went on to graduate from college summa cum laude with a degree in economics, and in July 2001, she returned to Kandahar, to explore her family roots and find herself. There she met her relatives and surveyed the conservative provincial town where she was born. on return visit to afganistan, she discovered the tragic death of her relatives at the hands of American troops and began to seek answers.
My War at Home is her memoir of self-discovery, family tradition, and life as a Muslim and feminist with political ideals. It speaks to the younger generation of Muslims in America as they struggle to resolve the ever-present inner conflict about what it means to be an American and a Muslim, while also examining the Muslim-American identity at both personal and political levels.
"An arranged marriage at 16 to a man she has never spoken to ignites Afghan American Sultan's search for her place in the two cultures she considers her own. The 27-year-old who made the documentary >From Ground Zero to Ground Zero with Jon Alpert describes in this accessible memoir how she became an advocate for women's rights in Afghanistan: after divorcing her husband and witnessing 9/11, Sultan's 'soul-searching' becomes a mission to promote understanding between Afghans and Americans. While the book begins with the rich details of her traditional wedding, Sultan is not in her element here, tending to give her characters little depth. The author, who supported action against the Taliban, hits her stride when she moves from the personal to the political, describing, for example, organizing a conference on women and the Afghan constitution, or meeting an Afghan farmer whose wife and all but one of his children were killed in a U.S. attack. 'Would this boy grow up to be America's enemy?' Sultan wonders; if al Qaeda members were hiding in Texas, would 'AC-130 gunships, spewing bullets from a rotating cannon' be used? Though this politically driven book may age quickly, it is a time capsule that will appeal to a wide audience." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Can somebody intervene here? We cannot get through the Israeli fence to our land. All the sheep owned by the village are going to starve. Many of our ewes have miscarried. We cannot bear to watch. You know when birds get stuck in oil slicks or whales get beached, everybody rushes to help them. Maybe helping the Palestinians is complicated. But if the world could help the sheep, that should be simple ...
A Time Magazine/Abt SRBI poll conducted last month found that 71 percent of Americans believed that our position in the world has been on the decline in the past few year. And an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey conducted earlier this month found that most Americans believed that we aren't simply going through tough times as a nation but are at "the start of a longer-term decline where the U.S. is no longer the leading country in the world."

The Patriots have re-signed 26-year old QB Brian Hoyer to a 1-year, .92 million dollar deal. Hoyer played in 3 games for the Patriots last year and he completed his only pass attempt, which was good for 22 yards. He also carried the ball 4 times for -3 yards (-0.8 ypc) last year. Hoyer has now played in 13 games (0 starts) in his career with the Patriots and he has completed 27 of 43 passes (62.8%) for 286 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT (80.2 QB Rating). He also has carried the ball 24 times for 14 yards (0.6 ypc) with 1 TD carry. Hoyer will be the Patriots' #2 QB once again in 2012.
Good morning! A light day for Kansas City Chiefs news. Enjoy.
With the team's decision makers headed this weekend to Florida for the NFL's annual March Owners Meeting, the pace will likely be slow early next week as well. In the last three days, the Chiefs have had just two visitors according to the NFL: unrestricted free agents WR Jerricho Cotchery and CB Chris Carr.
All Quite With Free Agency & Chiefs from Bob Gretz
Before Kansas City signed a single free agent, I asked fans a question. Do they trust Pioli and do they think Pioli will make the Chiefs better?…
…It's amazing what Week 1 of free agency did for Pioli. Fans went from being upset to instantly saying nice things about Pioli. Sometimes fans are impatient, but how long has it been since Kansas City won a playoff game? Like the Kansas City Royals, the Chiefs could also say it's time.
Pioli Deserves Some Trust from The Examiner
An Idaho native who was adopted and raised by his grandparents, McClellin grew up on a little farm that sat on Chicken Dinner Road, just off the Snake River in what they call the Treasure Valley of Idaho.
From out of this remote corner of the football world, McClellin heads to the NFL and he could be a defensive end, outside linebacker or inside linebacker.
Top 100 Prospects – No. 82 LB Shea McClellin from Bob Gretz
Has Scott Pioli transformed the Kansas City Chiefs? It's a simple, straightforward question. Has Pioli improved the Chiefs in a positive way? Isn't that the best question to ask when evaluating him? By looking at each position on the team you may find the answer is a resounding, yes!
Scott Pioli: The Transformer from Arrowhead Addict
The Patriots have re-signed 29-year old center Dan Connolly. Connolly played in 13 games (11 starts) for the Patriots last year. He has now played in 42 games (28 starts) in his first four years in the NFL. Connolly appears to be a late bloomer and the Patriots were smart to bring him back to help protect Tom Brady in 2012.
This could be an epic game just like the last time these two teams played in the Super Bowl, when the Giants ruined the Patriots' bid at a perfect season by beating them 17-14. The Giants are coming into this game red hot as they have played really well in the playoffs. But, both teams needed a little luck to win in the Conference Championship Games, so I expect this to be a hard fought, outstanding game. Here is a look at the matchups in this game:
When the Patriots have the ball: The Patriots might just run the ball more than usual as the Giants have had issues stopping the running game this year. If the Patriots can get BenJarvus Green-Ellis going early in the game, it will make the Giants pay for overplaying the passing game. That doesn't mean the Patriots aren't going to pass the ball, because that's their bread and butter. For Tom Brady to be effective in this game, the offensive line is going to have to step up and keep DEs Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora away from him. If Brady has time to throw the ball, he's going to have a field day as the Giants are not loaded with good cover corners. WRs Wes Welker and Deion Branch could both have big games for the Patriots this Sunday as Brady is going to challenge Giants' CBs Aaron Ross and Corey Webster quite a bit in this game. The Patriots are also going to use TEs Rob Gronkowski (he has a high ankle sprain) and Aaron Hernandez a lot in this game, so Giants' safties Kenny Phillips, Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant are likely going to have long days if Brady has time to throw the ball. I see the Patriots scoring a lot of points this Sunday.
When the Giants have the ball: The Giants are likely going to try to stay somewhat balanced offensively in this game. That means the front seven are going to have to stop the running game while getting a good pass rush on Eli Manning. That will be easier said than done. The Giants have two good RBs in Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. The OLBs (Rob Ninkovich and Jerod Mayo) are going to have to keep the outside contained and force the Giants' RBs inside to deal with Brandon Spikes and Vince Wilfork. The Patriots are going to have to get a good pass rush on Eli Manning or they are going to be in big time trouble. WRs Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham are going to cause big time matchup problems for the Patriots. CB Kyle Arrington has been a big time player for the Patriots but he's going to get challenged big time this weekend. CBs Sterling Moore and Antwaun Molden are really going to have to step up this weekend as they will likely be matched up with Cruz and Manningham. Safeties Devin McCourty and Pat Chung are going to have to give help over the top for the corners while also keeping an eye on TE Jake Ballard. A lot of times Manning throws the ball up for grabs after he gets hit a few times early in games, so the secondary is going to have to win those jump balls this Sunday.
The Patriots waived 24-year old WR Tiquan Underwood last night on the eve of the Super Bowl. He played in 5 games for the Patriots this year and he caught 3 passes for 30 yards (10.0 avg). Underwood has now played in 15 games in his first three years in the NFL and he caught 11 passes for 141 yards (12.8 avg). He has also returned 26 kickoffs for 599 yards (23.0 avg) so far in his NFL career. Don't be too sad for Underwood as he will still get a share of the Super Bowl winnings and he will get a Super Bowl ring if the Patriots prevail later today.
UPDATE: (2/7/2012) – The Patriots have re-signed Tiquan Underwood to a reserve/futures contract for 2012.
The Patriots have used their franchise tag on 30-year old WR Wes Welker. Welker played in all 16 games for the Patriots last year and he caught 122 passes for 1,569 yards (12.9 avg) with 9 TD grabs. He also carried the ball 4 times for 30 yards (7.5 ypc) and he returned 8 punts for 82 yards (10.3 avg) last year. Welker has now played in 77 games in his first five years with the Patriots and he has caught an amazing 554 passes for 6,105 yards (11.0 avg) with 31 TD grabs. Welker has also carried the ball 16 times for 126 yards (7.9 ypc) so far in his career with the Patriots. Welker has returned 89 punts for 942 yards (10.6 avg) and 10 kickoffs for 247 yards (24.7 avg) in his career with the Patriots. It was smart of the Patriots to bring back Welker for the 2012 season as he is still money over the middle.
In the lead-up to free agency, we'll be looking at each Patriots free agent and projecting whether or not they will re-sign with the Patriots this offseason;
Age: 30
Position: Linebacker
Status: Unrestricted Free Agent
2011 Stats: 15 games, 1 game started, 37 tackles, 1 pass defensed
Overview: Since coming to the Patriots via trade from the Eagles, veteran linebacker Tracy White has been one of the very best special teams players for the Patriots. However, in the 2011 season, White actually stepped up and played a more significant role on defense. He started at OLB in the 4-3 and also played some MLB. He wasn't terribly effective or consistent, but he occasionally made some decent plays. In fact, it was his pass deflection against the Redskins that led to Jerod Mayo's game-sealing interception in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. While White did perform adequately at times in 2011, it became clear that giving White a role as a full-time defender going forward probably wouldn't be in the team's plans. Nonetheless, White is still valuable as a special teams player, and is one of the very best in the league when it comes to that role. The Patriots obviously aren't going to break the bank on a player like White, but if he's willing to come back on the cheap, I'm sure the team would be happy to have him back.
Prediction: Re-signs on a one year, million deal
The New England Patriots have released 29-year old DT Mike Wright. Wright only played in 1 game for the Patriots last year and he had 1 tackle. Wright played in 81 games in his 7 years with the Patriots and he had 134 tackles, 15 sacks, 5 tackles for a loss, 4 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries and 3 passes defensed. The Patriots will likely try to replace Wright with a more durable and younger player either in the draft or free agency.
The Patriots have waived 26-year old G/C Rich Ohrnberger. He spent all of last season on the Injured Reserve List. He played in just 5 games (0 starts) in his three years with the Patriots. The Patriots have decided not to waste a roster spot anymore on a rather untalented player in Ohrnberger, who also can't seem to stay healthy.
Saturday's workouts are in the books and here's a look at some prospects for the Patriots:
(Click here for all combine results)
Georgia center Ben Jones ran a little slow in the 40 Yard Dash (which is actually important for most positions), but he was just as fast as top prospect guard David DeCastro. On the other hand, his 3 cone drill was far from spectacular. Jones was above average in the bench press, vertical jump, and the broad jump. He looked very good in his drills, which matches how he is as a player: an above average, but not elite, athlete with extremely sound fundamentals.
Wisconsin center Peter Konz put up 18 on the bench press (extremely low), and is recovering from an injury so he didn't participate in anything else.
Ohio State center Michael Brewster was extremely limited as an athlete (no explosion). He hasn't helped himself, in my opinion.
Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler continues to impress as a vicious guard prospect and could be rising due to his versatility. He was athletic and has the grit to be an elite run blocker (something the Patriots expect out of their right guard).
The star was Georgia's Cordy Glenn. Glenn is a projected guard, but showed he has enough athleticism to potentially play tackle (read: Marcus Cannon). Glenn is 345 lbs, but moves extremely well with the weight. If the Patriots paired Glenn with Cannon, there's no way any team could move them.
Lafayette tight end Ladarius Greene was the athletic stud many expected him to be. He was great catching the ball and at 6'5.5, Greene could present a mismatch all over the field.
Oklahoma tight end James Hanna was also impressive in shorts at 6'3, 252 lbs and could be a solid prospect. His tape might not back it up, but he's a potential riser.
Missouri tight end Michael Egnew had, in my opinion, the most impressively athletic day. He dominated the field in the broad and vertical jumps, showing off his explosion. However, his bench press was low (21). Still, he has questions around translating his ability to the field. Could be another Ben Watson sort of question mark- flashes of talent, but concerns about putting everything together.
Stanford tight end Coby Fleener and Georgia tight end Orson Charles didn't participate, while Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen hurt his stock (in my opinion) with an abysmal 4.89 40 time and low numbers across the board. These are the big three tight ends.
There are plenty of shorter (5'9-5'10) receivers in the draft. Arkansas' Joe Adams (179 lbs), Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles (192), Florida International's T.Y. Hilton (183), Toledo's Eric Page (186), Arkansas' Jairus Wright (182), and Baylor's Kendall Wright (188). All are potential prospects for the Patriots.
There are fewer medium (5'11-6'1) receivers. Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon (207), California's Marvin Jones (199), Ohio State's DeVier Posey (211), Rutger's Mohamed Sanu (211), and Wisconsin's Nick Toon (215).
This is the year, if any, that the Patriots go for a big receiver. There are plenty of top prospects between 6'2-6'4. Arizona's Juron Criner (224), Notre Dame's Michael Floyd (220), Texas A&M's Jeff Fuller (223), Georgia Tech's Stephen Hill (215), South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery (216), North Carolina's Dwight Jones (230), Iowa's Marvin McNutt (216), Appalachian State's Brian Quick (220), LSU's Rueben Randle (210), Arizona State's Gerrell Robinson (227), and Miami's Tommy Streeter (219).
Look for players to separate themselves from the rest and expect the Patriots to draw from the 2nd tier of players.

Pictures of actor Kang Dong Won in his military gear as a platoon trainee were recently uploaded onto the official blog of the Army Camp Center.
According to the blog, the actor has just finished a week of training, and is currently taking the role as a platoon leader, responsible for transmitting any difficulties to other authorities.
"Kang Dong Won was recently selected as the best platoon leader in a poll conducted by fellow platoon leaders, and he was chosen as a leader for his aggressive attitude," said a representative of the training school.

11 Famous Folks Who Don't Want Babies
Eva Mendes

When tabloids started speculating that Eva Mendes was preggers, she told them that she doesn't see herself having children ever. "I don't wanna have kids," she said. "I love the little suckers; they're so cute but I love sleep so much and I worry about everything." The world needs mini Ryan Goslings running around, so this is further reason to wish they'd go belly up. [Entertainment Wise]

Quote janetb:
Quote Carmel Candy: Sharon looked like a fool today. Carrying on about how much she hates Mariah. Then changing her tune in a nanosecond, claiming that she understood why Mariah would act out yada yada yada because Sharon abandoned her. The writing makes no sense. This story is so unbelievable and truly DUMB!
Mariah trying to seduce Nick is not okay just because Sharon found out that she's the daughter she never knew about. I expect that it will be Saint Mariah just like it's Saint Cassie just because Sharon didn't raise her.At some time Mariah has to be responsible for her own actions and Sharon has to stop excusing and calling her a victim.
Sharon calling Mariah a tramp was priceless considering her own past behaviour. There were 3 possible Daddies for Faith. Sharon went to Kansas to stop Adam's wedding to Chelsea and she still wouldn't let him go. She stalked him and admitted that she wanted him back but didn't want the blame if his marriage ended. She would have accepted a friends with benefits relationship until Adam got tired of her being so needy and dumped her. After trolling bars for any man who'd have her she wanted Nick back. Who's really the tramp here.
You said it perfectly. I couldn't believe it when Sharon called Mariah a tramp. Sharon has been a nasty tramp for years. There are no lines that she will not cross. She has had sex with married men, almost married men, strangers and as you already mentioned she begged Adam to leave Chelsea at the altar and to shag her. Sharon is repulsive and no right to call anyone a tramp. I guess Mariah inherited the "tramp gene" from Sharon.
Quote mswadel: I am not surprised, after all it is the Sharon/Shick hour now.it sure is. First it was the Niki drama hour with Dylan and Paul and now they have quieted down Niki and stirred up her dummy ex DIL with this twins out of the blue SL. There is NO way you dont know you have two babies in your womb. With this stupid she was knocked out BS,lol. Doris was poor but any pregnant woman is eligle for free care while pregnant. They will have to do better than that. All this sounds stupid everytime she tells the story and Nick tells it. Makes me want to bust out laughing good and hard at this bogus nonsense. Now they are shoving Shick crapfest down our throats trying to get us to pity this tramp and her tramp of a daughter.
hearing Sharin utter those words...tramp..to mariah her new tramp daughter was hilarious. Sharin is the BIGGEST tramp in town. Mariah should ask around and find out how much of a sleaze and tramp her new momma really is and was. having been married to her own ex FIL Victor, his two sons and all the ONS's and marriages she had a hand in ruining..sure Sharin you arent a tramp! takes a tramp to sight the next one.

That made me sick that Sharon of all people would call Mariah a tramp. There isn't a bigger tramp in GC then Sharon! Plus Mariah is very young and obviously has been through a lot and has some issues. Sharon of all people should be able to understand that. Sharon is a thief, a liar a con, a horrible mother and she chose her baby's kidnapper over her own child! Who is that dirty bird to call anyone a tramp or pass judgement. If Mariah is a tramp, a thief and a liar....all I have to say is "The apple doesn't fall far from the Tramp tree".
Sharon has the nerve to turn on the righteous indignation because the police suggested that with Mariah's rap sheet she may be in on this extortion plot. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a son or daughter has helped with an extortion plot against their parents. It was just hours ago that Sharon was calling her a tramp, a manipulator, a liar etc, etc. But now that she knows Mariah is her daughter, oh well, that solves the whole problem. I'm sure that Sharon sees Mariah as a saint now just because she is her daughter. Her actions will find excuses in Sharon's eyes, not because there is really any excuse, but because and ONLY because that is her daughter.
this whole Mariah, Sharon Newman, shick mess has lasted far too long and really ruined the show for me and I am sure others feel the same
Everything Mariah does from now on will be forgiven because she wasn't blessed to be raised by her whackjob mother Sharon. They should have wrapped up Summer's paternity, it's been over a year. Instead they reward Sharon with another daughter just to keep CG on in another role.
Quote mswadel: this whole Mariah, Sharon Newman, shick mess has lasted far too long and really ruined the show for me and I am sure others feel the sameI sure feel you on that. I am so so SICK of stanky Sharin and her duffus boyfriend/babydaddy Nick I could puke. ...JP must be insane in the head to think most of us are enjoying Shick hour/sharin pathetic pity party show. They have even changed Niki's personality towards her now. Glad Victor is standing up to her and not buying her BS pity parties. Thats the only thing making it worth watching. Pardon me but didnt the lying tramp say awhile back that she wanted to remember her secret but then she accused Victor of being obsessed with the secret? whose writing this garbage cause it makes no sense and plus many of us are sick and tired of them flipping history with suddenly all these lost kids now resurfacing,lol. I call that BS!!!! I am boycotting this garbage right now cause I am sick of seeing the tramp in those stank short shorts she's been wearing for a week now and Nick looks like he smells too. YUCK!
She should have fessed up to Nick about Summer's PT. She didn't because she was only thinking of "getting him back" and even preferred the ECT test. It was awful when he "took her back" and she could not undo the mess she made. Summer with the two dads is one of the worst plots ever and it goes on and on and on and on.

Hi! My name is Leslie Hankey. In addition to being a member of the faculty, I graduated from this fine university with a Master of Science in Information Design and Coummunication. I came to SPSU as an adjunct instructor in January 2011.
My history: Soon after graduating from UGA with a BBA, I went to work for Oxford Industries, Inc. where I eventually rose to the position of Retail Group Manager. I enjoyed the exposure to clothing design, management, merchandising and advertising. After nine years with Oxford, I retired to focus on a large and lively family—at least for a time.
Offered a job in the Advancement Office at Whitefield Academy, I reentered the work force and served there as Advancement Assistant, Communications Assistant, Special Projects Coordinator, and Graphic Design Teacher. While working in these positions, I became fascinated by communication, information design, and new media arts, and so I entered the MSIDC program at SPSU.
I was offered a Teaching Assistant position while in the graduate program, and I worked for Professor Jack Haley—a remarkable man and a remarkable experience!
I came to the faculty at SPSU to teach Foundations of Graphics. I have since taught Applied Graphics and Graphics in the Professions, too—these are exciting courses at SPSU as the field rapidly develops. I'm working full-time these days at SPSU, and I am delighted to be a member of this vibrant learning community.

Yahoo Blog announces that Yahoo Mail will have unlimited storage. They'll be rolling this out over a few months, starting from May.
The official explanation is that the cost of storage dropped and users send more attachments. "We have been closely monitoring average usage. We are comfortable that our users are far under 1 gig(abyte), on average. What we see are an increasing number of rich media files as consumers send more photos."
They even offer a history of Yahoo Mail, in terms of storage, but here's the real timeline:
October 8: Yahoo acquires Rocketmail and transforms it into Yahoo Mail. Storage size: 3 MB, that will soon become 4 MB.
April 1: Gmail launches with 1 GB of free storage (invitation-only)
June 15: Yahoo Mail upgrades to 100 MB. Yahoo buys OddPost next month to make the first important UI transformation.
April 1: Gmail doubles the storage: 2 GB. They also launch the Infinity+1 storage plan: each day the storage increases with a small quota (that dropped from 3.456 MB at that time to 0.33 MB now).
Late April: Yahoo Mail has 1 GB.
Of course that very few people have gigabyte-sized mailboxes and this is more like a marketing gimmick, but Yahoo's announcement marks the first time since Gmail launch when Yahoo Mail makes the first move and is about to become better than the competition. We'll have to wait and see if Sergey Brin changes his mind and amends the plan that Google "will start selling additional storage capacity to e-mail users with extraordinary needs".
Meanwhile, Gmail had serious performance problems at least three times this month, mostly for Google Apps users. "All three incidents this month have affected an undetermined subset of Google Apps users, including those on the Premier version of the suite, who pay a fee that grants them a service-level commitment from Google of 99.99 percent uptime."

Daniel Radcliffe may no longer be playing a certain boy wizard, but the guy still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Actually, make that in his mouth.
It seems the actor has quite the talented tongue and, well, isn't afraid to reveal all that it can do...
MORE: Daniel Radcliffe "Miffed" About Harry Potter's Deathly Oscar Curse
Somebody totally managed to put the "rad" in Radcliffe during his appearance on the Spanish TV show El Hormiguero in Madrid on Monday.
While discussing his latest movie, The Woman in Black, the 22-year-old star happened to bring up and subsequently show off a natural-born ability to fold his tongue into the shape of an "M," much to the delight of the studio audience.
Of course, how Radcliffe ever figured out he could do that in the first place is a mystery, but it's pretty, er, magical nonetheless.

The Ballad of Romneyhood and Ryanhood
(They're not Robinhoods, they're just hoods)
Romneyhood, Romneyhood, Cadillacs galore,
Romneyhood, Romneyhood, millions stashed offshore,
He robs from the poor and gives to the rich,
Romneyhood, Romneyhood not so good.
Romneyhood, Romneyhood a stranger to the truth,
Romneyhood, Romneyhood, dog tied to his car roof,
He should join today the A.S.P.C.A.
Romneyhood, Romneyhood not too good.
Romneyhood, Romneyhood, Paul Ryan by his side,
Ryanhood, Ryanhood, the Tea-Baggers' pride,
He's a right-wing star, they hate F.D.R.,
Ryanhood, Ryanhood, he's not good.
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, let's kill Medicare,
Make health care reform a socialistic scare,
They serve only wealth, to hell with your health,
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, no not good.
Romneyhood, Ryanhood will do the best they can,
To have a fair election, just like in Iran,
The vote will be supressed, our liberty oppressed,
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, still not good.
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, "personhood's" their tune,
Government leave us alone except in our bedroom,
"Birther" "deather" fools, crazy right-wing tools,
That's their base, that's their place, what a waste.
Romneyhood, Ryanhood; anti-science slant,
Burn you at the stake soon if you ain't Republi-can't,
Someone tell them that the world is round not flat,
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, not real good.
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, what is their appeal?
Homophobes and racists love that coded spiel,
"Christian" yes that's fine, let's try it out sometime,
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, no darn good.
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, what is their real plan?
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, vote now if you can,
They rob from the poor and give to the rich,
Romneyhood, Ryanhood, no damn good.

An elitest socialist she is not for people who work for a living, only the"advocate " crowd.
Good to know, business as usual in Mass. No money coming in yet from casinos, but a new buracracy is there to spend it anyways. And all these casino operators are civic minded, good guys, I'm sure.
try the stress of the private sector
very sad. The best to anyone visiting Spfld, for functions, events, basketball tournaments, etc., is dont go out in this city at night. Murders and strip bars, what a cultural attraction.
Word has it some of the beer swilling, fried chicken gorging, lazy, disrespectful "players" are unhappy with the managerial choice. It would be so much better if they could let most of the team go, and just have players who want to play the game to the best of their ability. The long term contracts are a worse condition than the monetary amounts.
I wouldnt mind going to a Tea Party occupy, I drink to much coffee, and lately,, I have had a tea once and a while.
Wonder if the CEO and WMECO board of directors have power. Time to occupy WMECO corp offices
Why didnt they build a new bridge? How long have they been working on it? The traffic pattern is obsolete. When it was first built, there was discussion, I believe, about a direct egress/ entrance onto Rte 57, as opposed to exit. In Mass, it has always bee, when it doubt, build a rotary.
Mass Dept. Trans says, "painting may have occured in the last two months." Good to know, the state is running the project efficiently, keeping track of what is going on.
As long as I can remember, the media always tries to find an excuse for low voter turnout. It was breezy, it was chilly, it was raining, or rain was called for. Meanwhile, the machine candidates keep getting in.
I needed a laugh, for the stress from my two jobs. The state will use income from the casinos to combat compulsive gambling. Tell me that is not what the state is precisely counting on, compulsive gambling. The three ring circus on Beacon Hill, nervous about keeping their trough full, is finally getting together. Forget about the excellent ideas some others have just posted. The politicians and their patronage hacks are looking for the quick, easy score. It all sounds so good....
I suppose if these fools flunk a drug test for their job, we are supposed to support them, so they can sit home, listen to alt rock, and get high.
who hasnt experienced the frustration of something not going well, no matter how hard you try? be it work, home project, life issues. I cant stand the money and contract scenario of baseball, but i believe once the season starts, most players, the Red Sox in particular, play the game hard and right.
Mr. Rondo, Life very often is just not fun. As you get older friendships fade, for more people every day, life is a financial struggle to survive.
RETAIL? RETAIL? When did retail last work in downtown Spld, 60 yrs ago? 100s of millions for another Dollar Store?
Ron, you described the last 10 years or so perfectly, "Springfield repeatedly gets whatever NHL team is available" Hockey would have been gone for good from Spfld if not for Bruce Landon. One of the greatest disservices done to Spfld hockey was by Gretzsky. Not the great One of hockey- the only true owner of that title played Defense for Boston in the late 60s to 70s. But I digress. Gretzsky showed so little regard for his top prospects, his development staff, and his minor league host city, he never bothered to come here when Phoenix had their affiliation with Spfld. Great Overrated, Over revered, I digress again.

BSHS girls soccer tries to adjust after 7-0 loss
After starting the season 3-0, the Bonner Springs girls soccer team met its first setback on Monday, losing 7-0 to Shawnee Heights.
Coach Mike Moulin put Yessenia Hernandez, who started in goal, on the field in the second half with the Braves down 3-0, but Shawnee Heights proved too much, scoring another four in the second.
The Braves' three victories include wins against Ottawa and Gardner-Edgerton at home. Against Gardner-Edgerton,
Allie Ledbetter scored twice and Hannah Hunt contributed a goal.
Moulin said the Braves are relatively young this season and each of the Braves' first four games has provided opportuni- ties to groom Bizzell, a first-time goalie, for the latter portion of the season. Meanwhile, Moulin indicated that he'd like his team to improve its first-touch proficiency.
The Braves returned to play on Wednesday at Kansas City Christian Schools. Results were not available at press time.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1998 Growing up in a poor area of Terre Haute, Ind., Robert Jones said he feared ending up working on a factory production line. He couldn't fathom that as a livelihood.
Military service beckoned him. "I saw the military as an opportunity to get an education and to escape that potential destiny," he said. He enlisted in the Army in June 1961.
That was a long time ago. Now the former soldier is the deputy assistant secretary of defense for prisoner of war/missing personnel affairs. As such, he leads the nation's worldwide efforts to account for missing U.S. servicemen from World War II, the Cold War, Korean War and Vietnam War, and is in charge of the Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office.
Jones hit the ground running when he took the reins. "I was sworn in on Sunday, May 10 -- Mother's Day," he said. "Monday, I was on an aircraft headed to meet with the commander in chief of the Pacific, and directors of the Joint Task Force Full Accounting and Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii."
On the way back to Washington three days later, he stopped in San Antonio to meet with officials of the Air Force Casualty Office and Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory. The next week, he was off to Portland, Ore., to attend his first family outreach program gathering "to get a sense of how we communicate and deal with families of missing personnel."
"I plan to be very active with our family outreach efforts," Jones said.
In his first edict, Jones directed his staff to pull together a communications plan involving everyone associated with family outreach for survivors of missing servicemen throughout DoD.
The father of three and the son of a World War II veteran, Jones said it's important to have a strategic planning process involving his office, the Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory, Central Identification Laboratory, Joint Task Force Full Accounting and other organizations.
"We're all a team, but we haven't planned and operated as a team in the past," he said. "I'm looking forward to bringing representatives together in late summer to begin that process." Meanwhile, the 54-year-old taekwondo expert says he wants to instill a sense of mission among those who are providing the fullest possible accounting for America's missing service members.
"I'm attempting to stabilize the organization without going through reorganization," he said. "I want to clearly define our role as the Department of Defense's component responsible for policy and planning for the full spectrum of personnel recovery."
Jones said he views his office as a major DoD organization with outside constituents. He said his most important undertaking now is enhancing communications with them.
"We deal with veterans organizations, military associations and a wide variety of federal agencies and other interested parties," he said. "So we have a vast array of individuals we communicate with, and we need to enhance and improve that."
A good example of the communications process took place with the recent identification of the remains from the Tomb of the Vietnam Unknown as those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael J. Blassie. In that case, Jones' office coordinated with a host of DoD, federal and outside organizations, plus several families -- all important and interested parties.
The POW/Missing Personnel Office also prepares today's servicemen and women to deal with the possibility of capture during any conflict, he said. In addition, his office assists family members and loved ones of servicemen missing in action.
Jones said the Internet is an important communications tool. He invites those interested in POW/missing personnel affairs programs to visit his office's Web site at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo.
For about five years before his DoD appointment, Jones was special assistant to the assistant secretary for public and intergovernmental affairs in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Before that, he was national executive director of AMVETS -- American Veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
While he was on active duty, Jones reached the rank of sergeant and was a wireman with an artillery unit based in Hanau, Germany. There, "the chief of smoke" -- the senior noncommissioned officer of his firing battery -- encouraged him to apply for Officer Candidate School.
After commissioning, he became a senior adviser to a Vietnamese infantry unit in December 1966. When he returned home a year later, he "did a quick turnaround" and returned to Vietnam as an infantry company commander in the 82nd Airborne Division. After that, Jones completed the Army Ranger School at Fort Stewart, Ga. He later went to the infantry advanced course and Special Forces training at Fort Bragg, N.C., and joined the 7th Special Forces Group. His colorful resume shows service in infantry, airborne, Ranger and Special Forces units and even about 200 flying hours in an F-4 Phantom jet as an Army liaison officer to the Air Force's 50th Tactical Fighter Wing in Germany.
He received a Purple Heart for shrapnel wounds sustained during one of his two tours in Vietnam, but he says he's no hero. Jones calls the Army's Combat Infantryman Badge his highest decoration, because it signifies he served in combat and has led men in combat.

The roots of Candomble go back to the slave trade. Enslaved Africans were shipped to Brazil. These Africans tried to follow their religious beliefs and practice their customs, but were not allowed. Christian slave owners tried to convert them. Although many slaves converted to Christianity, others still practiced their religions in secret or disguised their practices as those of Catholicism. Up to the 1970s, Africans were persecuted if they were caught practicing Candomble. Ever since that time, the religion has become very popular in Brazil, especially in the northeastern city of Salvador da Bahia. Many Africans today visit the city to learn more about their ancestors and their religious beliefs. For many Africans, Candomble is not only a religion but also a cultural identity. Some followers want to rid the elements of Christianity from the religion and take it back to its pure form.
The concept of good and bad does not exist for followers of Candomble; however doing bad has its consequences. The goal of each person is to carry out his or her destiny, which is controlled by the orixa. Each person's orixa also acts as a protector. Worshippers perform special dances to allow the orixa to possess them. Orixas are deified ancestors from recent or ancient history. Also known as viduns and inkices, they are spirit gods that link humans to the spiritual world. Each orixa is connected to a force in nature including a certain food, animal, and more. A person's personality is a reflection of their orixa. Orixas are collectively called Baba Egum or Egungun. The moral code of Candomble is regulated by the Baba Egum, who ensures the continuity of morals from one generation to the next.
During major rituals, priests and priestesses disguise as Baba Egum. The worship takes place in the form of dances and songs. Dances call the orixa to enter the body. When a dancer becomes possessed, they enter a trancelike condition and publicly act out scenes from the community life through dance. When the orixa leaves the body, the trance ends. Women play a significant role in Candomble. Women, called "mothers of the holy one" lead services and train future priestesses. The sacred places for followers of Candomble are the terreiro, or temples. These structures have indoor and outdoor sections and designated places for the gods. Worshippers enter the terreiro in clean clothes. They also splash water on themselves before entering so they clean themselves from the impurity of the outside world.
