The real punishment for death row inmates -- beyond the lingering but distant possibility of lethal injection -- is their daily routine, Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said.
The former president of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association acknowledged that no one has been executed in the commonwealth since 1999.
But Marsico stuck with the association's party line when asked why district attorneys continue to seek the death penalty even when it is not enforced.
"It's the law," he said. "And in certain cases, we believe it is an appropriate punishment."
But the real-life punishment is found in Marsico's explanation that, "Your average lifer has more freedom, using the term loosely, than an inmate on death row.
"They are on death row, so it's a different punishment. There are more restrictions on the freedoms of those individuals."
Susan McNaughton, press secretary for the state Department of Corrections, confirmed Marsico's opinion.
According to information provided by her, the only human contact death row inmates have is when they are handcuffed and shackled and moved under "heavy escort" for the two hours they are allowed out of their cells each day to exercise and shower.
Death row inmates live alone and eat alone in their cells. They have no contact with other prisoners.
They also are denied any physical contact with visitors.
Lifers are kept in the general prison population, she said. They can work at prison jobs and have access to schooling, different programs and the prison library.
And when they get visitors, they can hug and kiss when they greet. They can sit next to each other without talking through a glass partition. And they can hug and kiss again when they say goodbye.
Marsico and York County District Attorney Tom Kearney said the bottleneck in capital cases reaching the end of their appeals largely occurs in federal court.
"Death sentences are thwarted in being carried out, mostly by the (U.S.) Third Circuit (Court of Appeals)," Marsico said.
Kearney explained he can't concern himself with the seemingly endless appeals available to death row inmates when determining whether to seek the death penalty.
"There are things down the road that I can't control," he said. "It doesn't mean the citizens don't want it carried out."
In April 2011, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille brimmed with contempt over what he described as the delay tactics and frivolous filings used by the Federal Defenders office in capital murder cases.
And he questioned the legality and the validity of the federal courts funding that office.
In a written opinion, Castille said, "When the families of murder victims, and other concerned citizens, ask why there is no effective death penalty in Pennsylvania, the dirty secret answer is: ask the federal court.
"And if the federal court (which includes the Third Circuit Court) fails to reply, you may want to ask your U.S. senators and representatives."
Meanwhile, a Senate-appointed task force studying the use of capital punishment last week asked Gov. Tom Corbett to impose a moratorium on executions until the study is completed in December 2013.
Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery-Delaware, who signed the letter on behalf of the task force, said Friday he had not yet received a response from the governor.
He said the letter asked Corbett to put executions on hold while the task force tries to determine "if we are doing it correctly."
"Waiting a few more months is not going to hurt anybody," Leach said.
Hubert Michael Jr. case
Gov. Tom Corbett signed an execution warrant Wednesday for Hubert L. Michael Jr., who is on death row for the kidnap and murder of a northern York County girl in 1993.
Michael's attorney, Ronald Travis of Williamsport, filed a petition Wednesday before the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals asking that the Federal Community Defender's Office be appointed as co-counsel to seek a stay of execution or clemency.
Michael, 56, is in state prison in Greene. His execution date is set for Nov. 8.
Michael was convicted for the 1993 kidnapping and murder of Trista Eng, 16, of Franklin Township.

Pittsburgh area startup companies find fewer dollars at venture capitalists
Tough times continued for startup companies looking for money from venture capitalists during the first part of the year.
Venture capital firms invested just $10.9 million in Pittsburgh-area startups from January through March, the lowest level in 14 years, according to the MoneyTree Report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association, using data from Thomson Reuters.
That money went to 22 companies, the same level as a year ago, when investors placed $36.0 million here.
The amount invested was the lowest since venture firms put $10.4 million into three area companies in early 1999.
Innovation Works and unidentified investors made the largest deals during the period: $3.25 million for Wombat Security Technologies Inc., a software developer; $2.55 million in Cognition Therapeutics Inc., a biotechnology company; and $2.1 million for NewCare Solutions LLC, a medical devices and equipment maker.
Venture capital invested here also fell in the final three months of 2012 to $24.7 million in 21 deals.
Despite those numbers, total investments in Pittsburgh-area startups is on an uptick, said Gary Glausser, chief investment officer at Innovation Works, a government-funded nonprofit that is one of the region's most active investors.
Investments by venture capital firms are a minority of deals done here, Innovation Works said in a report last week. Nearly two-thirds of startup financings come from individuals, called "angle" investors, and other private funds.
In 2012, all investors put $329.1 million in 190 companies in the region, according to the study by Ernst & Young and Innovation Works. By comparison, investments from venture firms last year totaled $168.97 million in 79 deals, MoneyTree Report said. Innovation Works tracks investments from all sources.
"The angles really stepped up," said Glausser of the difference.
Venture capital firms aren't investing as much because their ability to raise money is at a six-year low, according to the National Venture Capital Assocation. In the first three months of the year, they raised $4.1 billion, the lowest since 2007, in part because less money is available from foundations and university endowments.
"That's not a good indicator," Glausser said. "If venture capital is having difficulty raising money, then down the road there will be less money invested."
Nationally, venture capitalists invested $5.9 billion in 863 deals in the January-March period, according to MoneyTree Report, a decline of 12 percent in dollars and 15 percent in deals compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 when $6.7 billion was invested in 1,013 deals.
Nationally, venture capitalists invested $26.5 billion in 3,698 deals in 2012, a decrease of 10 percent in dollars and a 6 percent in deals from the prior year.

|Bowden coached Auburn to a perfect record in 1993 before being forced out in 1998. (Jeff Harwell/Zips Sports)
We don't have any of those guys that are going to be automatic NFL stars.
When is the last time you heard that from a Bowden -- anywhere? Papa (Bobby) Bowden won those two national championships. His last team at Florida State in 2009 had three draft choices. Son Tommy spent 10 steady, if not spectacular, years at Clemson averaging almost 2.5 draftees per season.
|More on Akron, MAC
|Related links
|More college football coverage
This is merely a glimpse of the first family of college football. Here's another: Terry Bowden -- the author of the statement above. He went undefeated the same season his dad won a national championship. He knew cutthroat in the SEC before the BCS ever started.
It hardly matters that this first-family member has had one player drafted in the past 13 years. There are a couple of huge qualifiers. A) He hasn't coached at the major-college level since 1998 at Auburn. B) He has chosen to return to that level with Akron.
Akron, a MAC bottom dweller. Akron, which has won two games in the past two seasons; five in the past three. Akron, which was damn lucky to have a 56-year old son of a legend available.
"You look and they were in the bottom 10 in every statistical category the last two years," Terry said of his new team. "I don't know whether there was a morale problem or a talent problem. The statistics are so bad I've got to believe the kids are better than the record indicated."
Let's hope.
One reality is that this Bowden -- the 1993 national coach of the year -- wanted so bad to get back to FBS (Division I-A) that he chose Akron more than the other way around. Nothing wrong with that. Akron couldn't have done much better, and if Bowden sees hope there you have to trust him. This year Akron has turned out to be a center of rebirth -- if not winning football.
Bowden and some guy named Tressel have connected.
"Jim Tressel fits in so comfortably with the academic community," Bowden said of Ohio State's disgraced former coach, now Akron's vice president of school engagement, "a much better shirt and tie guy than I am."
Bowden's last name is famous, but you wonder what weight it carries with Akron players who weren't born when Auburn went undefeated in 1993. That was the year Papa won his first national championship.
Reborn, unborn, they can research this: In 5 1/2 seasons with the Tigers, Terry won his first 20 games, finished 30 games above .500 and played in an SEC title game. He was forced out in 1998.
Bowden then embarked on a career becoming an entertaining, sensible voice of the game. Over the next decade, he worked on ABC television, Westwood One radio and as a columnist for Yahoo! Bowden had the name but he also proved over and over he was good at what he did.
"I was trying to figure out my place in the world," he said. "I figured out I was going to be a spokesperson for the game. I turned 50, looked in the mirror and said 'For the rest of my life do I want to be on the other side of the camera or do I want to get back in the arena and play the game?"
The answer is being played out in Akron's preseason camp that opened last week. Actually, it started back in 2009 when Bowden was working the Division II championship game at North Alabama in Florence, Ala. Around that time, he let it be known that he was ready to get back into coaching.
The day of the game North Alabama coach Mark Hudspeth resigned. Bowden says the school's AD, Mark Linder, practically slid a note under the door during the broadcast.
There was nothing wrong with the Lions becoming a haven for Division I transfers. Bowden had the connections and sometimes that's how you win at the D-II level. He went 30-9 in three seasons, going to the playoffs each year.
And if you want to talk draft choices, North Alabama has had one more (Janoris Jenkins) than Akron (none) in the past four years.
"I was really enjoying North Alabama," Bowden said. "To me that's where you get to coach. When you're a head coach in Division I, you have CEO-type things. Almost everybody gets fired or close to fired at some point. If you're going in just for the glamour, somewhere along the line you're probably going to get smacked in the face."
At Akron, Bowden has put the band back together. Brother Jeff, the lighting-rod assistant for his dad at Florida State, is the special teams coach. Chuck Amato, a 21-year FSU veteran and former North Carolina State head coach, begins his 40th year of coaching as defensive coordinator. Terrell Buckley, FSU's T-Buck, is the cornerbacks coach.
Notice a certain Garnet and Gold flavor?
To put it nicely, turning around Akron is going to be a chore. But if the MAC is anything, it is fluid. Since 2002, seven schools have won conference titles. And Bowden knows a little about what he is getting into. He was Gerry Faust's first quarterbacks coach at Akron in 1986. Safe to say, their careers went in different directions from there.
Meanwhile, Akron has pretty much stayed Akron. The Zips did win the MAC in 2005 (at 7-6). Since then the Akron is 19-53. Bowden holds onto that promise of being reborn. InfoCision Stadium is still an attraction, the $62 million facility having opened in 2009. The 100-yard indoor practice facility, the new coach says, is as good as any he has seen. There is always high school talent in Ohio. Little of it has migrated to Akron lately.
"I thought someone was going to step into Akron and really catch it at the right moment," Bowden said.
Forget the draft choices, then. Akron would settle for a quick exit from laughingstock status. A Bowden is in charge again in college football. That should be good enough.

Bone Spur
Overview | Causes | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | FAQ
View enlarged image
A bone spur, or osteophyte, is an excess growth of bone around a vertebral body. Bone spurs are fairly common in people
over the age of 60. It is not the bone spur itself that is the real
problem; pain and inflammation begin to occur when the bone spur
rubs against nerves and bones. If bone spurs grow too much, they can impinge on nerve roots.
As we age, the discs in our spine naturally degenerate and lose some
of their natural shock-absorbing ability. Factors that contribute
to and accelerate this process include stress, injury, poor posture,
poor nutrition, and family history.
It is not uncommon for people with osteoarthritis to
get bone spurs. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition in which
joint cartilage begins to wear down, causing bone to rub against bone.
As a result, the body may begin to produce new bone to protect against
this, which is how a bone spur forms.
Outlined below are some of the diagnostic tools that your physician
may use to gain insight into your condition and determine
the best treatment plan for your condition.
The goal when treating bone spurs is to minimize pain and prevent any
additional joint damage. Treatment methods may include weight loss,
stretching and physical therapy, rest and ice. Injections can reduce
inflammation long enough to relieve symptoms. Medications such as
ibuprofen or injections may be administered for pain. Bone spurs
can be surgically removed in the case of serious damage and deformity.
How can osteoporosis impact the spine and cause
a bone spur?
Osteoporosis can have extremely serious consequences on the spine.
It is a degenerative condition in which joint cartilage can begin to
wear down, causing bone to rub against bone. As a result, the body
may begin to produce new bone to protect against this, which is how
a bone spur forms.
How can I tell if I have a bone
Bone spurs can generally be detected through X-ray, which can provide
a visual of any bony deposits.
Do I need surgery to treat a bone
Because bone spurs are usually evidence of an underlying problem, this
main problem should be addressed first. This can include treatment
methods for degenerative disc disease, arthritis and osteoporosis.
These conditions can often be successfully treated with nonsurgical
methods, such as interventional pain management.

Quick Tips to Keep You and Your Food Safe this Summer
As we spend time outdoors in the summer at family reunions and picnics, foodborne illnesses increase. When working with food outdoors, the ability to wash hands and keep food refrigerated is often limited. Following a few simple tips can keep you and your food safe.
-Pack the ice cooler correctly. It seems simple – but there are some things you can do to keep foods colder, and therefore, safer. A full cooler will keep food cold longer than one that is partially filled. If you don't have enough food to completely fill a cooler, fill up the rest of the space with ice. Place meats in a separate cooler or on the bottom of the cooler in plastic bags. Put ready-to-eat foods, fruits and vegetables and drinks on top away from meat. Keep the cooler in your air-conditioned car as long as you can and when you reach your destination, place it in the shade. If you are on an extended camping trip, consider placing frozen meat in the cooler. It will stay cold longer and be thawed by the time you are ready to use it.
-When grilling, use a meat thermometer to determine if you have cooked the meat to a safe minimum internal temperature. This will destroy harmful bacteria. Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside, but has not reached a safe temperature on the inside. Remember these important numbers: Cook ground beef to 160 degrees, poultry breasts and ground poultry to 165 degrees and beef, pork, lamb or veal steaks or chops to 145 degrees and allow to rest for 3 minutes.
-Don't cross-contaminate. Cross contamination happens when raw food comes in contact with cooked food. This can cause foodborne illness. One example is when grilling, raw meat is taken to the grill, cooked and then placed back on the same plate where the raw meat was. Another example is when cutting meat on a cutting board, the knife and board are not washed. The next item might be watermelon to be sliced. Bacteria from the meat is then transferred to the watermelon, which can cause illness.
-When you are outdoors, it can be difficult to wash your hands before preparing food or eating. Make an effort to wash your hands. Especially after handling raw meat. Consider bringing water if the picnic spot or campground doesn't have any running water. Try to wash all fruits and vegetables before cutting so bacteria is not introduced into the product. For example, melons grow on the ground, allowing harmful bacteria to deposit on the rind. When it is cut, the bacteria is carried into the inside of the melon unless it is washed.
-It is tough enough to deal with leftovers when you are in your own home. When you are outside, it can be more difficult, but it has never been more important. Remember to put leftovers away within 2 hours, unless it is over 90 degrees. Since bacteria grow fastest at high temperatures, put away perishable food within 1 hour.
-Don't re-use marinades. If marinades are to be used after cooking, reserve some before putting the raw meat in and contaminating it.
-Remember that you can't see, taste or smell most foodborne bacteria. You may not know it is there until you feel ill.

Get Ready for Canning Season
First come the strawberries, then the cherries, apricots and green beans, and by the end of July canning season is in full swing. To get ready to preserve all those great summer flavors, now is the time to prepare.
To sharpen your knowledge about food preservation, consider enrolling in the course Preserving Food at Home: A Self Study. This free, self-paced, online course from the University of Georgia National Center for Home Food Preservation is just right for those wanting to learn more about home canning and preservation. Enroll at https://www.fcs.uga.edu/ext/food/nchfp_elc.
Tidy up the storage area and inventory the foods on hand so you can make a plan for what you will preserve this year.
Inspect canning equipment and get everything in working order. Have the gauge on the pressure canner tested to make sure it is accurate. Inspect the rubber gasket on the pressure cooker. You can test the gasket by pressing your fingernail into the gasket lightly. If no mark remains, it's time to get a new gasket. Replace or repair broken handles, damaged racks or other canner parts. Many parts are available online if you visit the manufacturer's website. If you have lost the instruction book to your Presto canner, download a copy from www.gopresto.com > Products and Parts > Instruction Manuals.
Purchase the flat lids you will need for the current canning season. Although lids can be stored from year to year, the sealing compound will begin to dry out, eventually causing the lids not to seal.
Check jars and rings. If jars are chipped, replace them. If rings are bent or rusted, discard them and buy new ones. With your shopping list in hand, start watching for canning season sales.
Invest in new equipment that will make preserving food easier. If you don't have a canning funnel, bubble freer, jar lifter or timer, consider purchasing them. If you haven't tried a lid wand to remove lids from the hot water, invest in one this year.
Make sure canning books and instructions are up to date. If your canning guide is copyrighted before 1988, it's time to treat yourself to a new canning guide. The U.S.D.A. Complete Guide to Home Canning can be downloaded from the National Center for Home Food Preservation website at http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html. This is a great basic guide with instructions and recipes for preserving fruit, tomatoes and tomato mixtures, vegetables, meats, jams and jellies and pickles. It also has an excellent section that explains why we do what we do when we preserve food.
So Easy to Preserve is another book worth considering. Its 375-pages contain more than185 tested recipes, along with step-by-step instructions and in-depth information for both the new and experienced food preservers. Chapters include Preserving Food, Canning, Pickled Products, Jellied Fruit Products, Freezing and Drying.

Have You Checked Your Credit Score Lately?
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2004 allows you to get a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian) once a year. A credit report contains information about where you live, if you pay your bills in a timely manner and other financial information. Your credit report can be used by companies who plan to sell you credit or insurance or by potential employers or landlords to help determine if they should extend their services to you.
The only official free location to check your credit report is at www.annualcreditreport.com. You can also call toll free at 1-877-322-8228, or you can request it through regular mail by filling out an online form. Other companies may claim to have free credit reports, but their reports are not really free or they have "strings attached." Consider this information regarding credit reports.
• Monitor your credit throughout the year by checking the report from one of the three credit bureaus. December near year end, April during tax preparation and August during back to school are good times to remember to request your reports. The key is to look for inaccurate or unauthorized activity. Examples might be a late payment showing on the report, even though you have paid off the balance and closed the account, or an account you did not open. You should contact the credit bureau and request that they correct the information. You can dispute credit bureau errors by writing a letter. Sample letters can be found online. The quickest way to dispute information is on the credit bureau website when you get your report. Follow the links provided on the website. The credit bureau has 30 days to correct the inaccurate information.
• Check your credit score. When applying for credit, it is helpful to know that your report is in good shape and you have a good credit score. Unfortunately, your free credit report will not show your credit score for free. You can request your score for a fee from any of the three credit bureaus, but the best place to check your score is at www.myfico.com since the FICO score is the score that companies usually use when you apply for credit.
• Know your rights. If a company takes adverse action against you, such as denying your application for credit, insurance or employment based on information in your report, you are entitled to a free report under federal law, even if you have requested your free report within the past 12 months. You must ask for your report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action. The notice will give you the name, address and phone number of the credit reporting agency. You're also entitled to one free report a year if you are unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days, if you're on welfare or if your report is inaccurate because of fraud, including identity theft.
• If you have been the victim of identity theft, request that the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies place "fraud alerts" in your file. This will let potential creditors and others know you have been the victim of fraud. Although it may delay your ability to obtain credit, a fraud alert can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you. You can place a fraud alert in your file by calling one of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies. That credit bureau will notify the other two, which will then also place fraud alerts in your file.
• If you suspect your minor child's information has been used fraudulently, contact the credit reporting agencies directly and also report the illegal use of your child's information to law enforcement. The credit reporting agencies do not knowingly maintain credit files on minor children, but to report fraud, you can give each agency your child's complete name, address, date of birth and a copy of his or her birth certificate and social security card. They will need a copy of your driver's license or other government-issued proof of your identity that includes your current address. They will also need a utility bill containing your current address. For additional information on identity theft, check online atwww.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft.

2013 NFL Draft Defensive Tackle Rankings and Reports
I know defensive tackle isn't exactly a natural progression from quarterback but there were a few major defensive tackle prospects I wanted to look at. Kawann Short is my first scouting report (check it out below), and I'm going to check out Star Lotulelei next.
Other threads:
Quarterbacks - http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52803
NT Star Lotulelei, Utah (6'3", 325, 5.25)
• Has excellent height and bulk to play nose tackle in either defensive front
• Surprisingly athletic for a man of his size and has impressive range
• Initial quickness off of the snap is impressive compared to other nose tackles
• Very strong and can throw defenders aside if he gets good positioning
• Plays with a nasty disposition and a high motor; very physical
• Low pad level allows him to get under defenders and move them off the line
• Can shoot the gaps effectively due to his size and burst off of the line
• Can anchor effectively and was used at the nose in Utah's three-man fronts as well
• Effective wrap-and-fall tackler who has adequate arm length
• Nice career trajectory; improved substantially from 2010 season to 2011 season
• Has also been used at offensive guard in the past (NFL future is on the defense)
• Recognition skills need improvement; can be fooled and caught out of position
• Could do a better job of protecting his legs from cut blocks (also has a top-heavy build)
• Ends up on the ground a little bit too often for a player with his stature and power
• Did not play very much under tackle at Utah; almost exclusively worked the nose
• Not very productive in terms of making plays in the backfield (only two career sacks)
• Needs to play with more discipline/awareness and maintain gap responsibility
Grade: First round
DT Bennie Logan, Louisiana St.* (6'3", 290, 4.90)
• Has the size and bulk to play defensive tackle in a 4-3 or defensive end in a 3-4
• Very long arms allow him to keep blockers at bay in order to keep himself clean
• Effective at getting low and using power in order to shoot gaps on slant patterns
• Active hand use prevents offensive linemen from locking on and controlling him
• Keeps his feet moving and is difficult to drive backwards against the run
• Uses leverage in order to collapse run gaps and is already a strong run defender
• Rangy player who will pursue running backs and receivers in the passing game
• Does a nice job of getting his hands up in an attempt to swat down passes
• Should be able to contribute on special teams; blocked one kick in 2011
• Frame and athleticism suggest he has yet to reach his full potential at this point
• Very raw player whose draft status is largely based off of his projected improvement
• Came off the field when LSU used three-man fronts (Mingo, Brockers, Montgomery)
• Conditioning could be an issue; was often rotated out in favor of Josh Downs
• Doesn't have a ton of counter moves when his initial burst is ineffective
• Often gets caught off balance when trying to change directions in pursuit
• Needs to do a better job of protecting his legs from cut blocks
• Has only one year of production at this point (57 tackles, 6.5 TFL, three sacks in 2011)
Grade: First or second round
DT Kawann Short, Purdue (6'3", 310, 5.30)
• Has enough height to play defensive end in the NFL in 3-4 fronts
• Excellent bulk and takes up quite a bit of space on the field
• Effective anchor and is difficult to move even when double-teamed
• Strong enough to push aside defenders in order to make the play
• Uses a violent spin move effectively in order to get past blockers
• Played all four defensive line positions at Purdue: LE, UT, NT, RE
• Solid tackling fundamentals; effectively wraps up and anchors
• Diligent about getting his hands up in the air in order to contest passes
• Draws double teams fairly regularly due to his sheer mass
• Diagnoses plays well and doesn't get caught out of position very often
• Was named a defensive co-captain at Purdue last season
• Has a ton of bulk but looks like he may be out-of-shape and could lose weight
• Does not possess elite burst off of the line of scrimmage to penetrate
• Must become more effective at disengaging from blockers (more active hand use)
• Not athletic enough to play all over the defense in the NFL like he did in college
• Needs to play with a more consistent motor (conditioning could affect effort)
• Occasionally gives up on the play when he is double-teamed
• Feet often go dead on contact and treads too much water rather than working
Grade: First or second round
NT Johnathon Hankins, Ohio St.* (6'3", 335, 5.30)
• Height and bulk are both ideal for a nose tackle prospect in either front
• Has played nose tackle and even right defensive end at Ohio State
• Stout run defender who is not driven off of the ball very often by blockers
• Fairly strong bull rush with an initial punch which can reset the line of scrimmage
• Has more range in pursuit than expected for a player of his size
• Effective wrap and anchor tackler who generally makes the tackle when he can
• Plays with an active motor and will keep fighting to make a play
• Has made strides each season at Ohio State and career trajectory looks promising
• Still has a lot of room for improvement as well as no known character concerns
• Attempts to maintain outside gaps too often rather than clogging the middle
• Should draw far more double teams than he has to this point; can be single-blocked
• Does not have an elite burst off of the line and won't offer much as a rusher
• Balance must be improved; occasionally bends at the waist or lunges
• Does not have the type of impact on a game that would be expected given his size
• Must develop additional rush moves; relies almost exclusively on the bull rush
• Does not have much experience playing as the under tackle in Ohio State's defense
• Will likely be a two-down player in the NFL; sacks are frequently a result of coverage
Grade: Second round
Upcoming Reports:
Dominique Easley, Florida* (6'2", 280, 4.85)
Kwame Geathers, Georgia* (6'5", 350, 5.35)
Johnathan Jenkins, Georgia (6'3", 350, 5.45)
Cassius Marsh, UCLA* (6'3", 290, 4.90)
Jessie Williams, Alabama (6'3", 320, 5.30)
Sylvester Williams, North Carolina (6'3", 320, 5.20)
How do you plan the order you post these in? Based on ranking or random? Cause I don't see how Short could be your number one DT. Nice scouting report though.
Just added a report for Johnathon Hankins; he is an intriguing prospect who could easily end up going in the first round, but for now I've got a second-round grade on him.
I'm going to post my Star Lotulelei report, and then I'll need some time to review tape of the others. I may do Bennie Logan and Jessie Williams a few days after Star because I was planning on reviewing the Alabama/LSU games from last year.
Bennie Logan and Jessie Williams are two guys who I think will blow up this year.
couple things on hankins
-no way he makes it out of the first round. guys who move like he does at his size don't last long on draft day unless they have major off-field or work ethic issues, which he doesn't.
-he did play "right defensive end" some, but in our system playing left defensive end or right defensive end is essentially playing either 5 tech DT or 3 tech DT b/c we use 3 DTs and a standup DE/OLB called the "LEO." Cam Heyward was also a RDE at Ohio State.
-Hankins never really every played nose tackle except a little bit during his freshman year. He's been the 3 technique under tackle for most of his snaps. So I suggest you watch more tape on him or any at all b/c you won't see him line up over the center very often. That was Garrett Goebel's responsibility last year (and Dexter Larimore's the year before that).
that said he was a true freshman in 2009 who wasn't in shape to play every snap, and last year in his first year as a fulltime starter he stayed on the field b/c he was in better shape. This year with a new strength coach he's down to 317 and in great shape. He had a great year last year as a complete DT who can collapse the pocket and stuff the middle, he should have an even better year as a junior in his second full season as a starter. I know a lot of people on here are big fans of Big Hank, I thought I'd share a little from someone who's seen every one of his games.
By the way, how about Alan Branch as a comparison for Hankins?
UGA has 4 guys on their line who could potentially be drafted in 2013. Garrison Smith and Abry Jones are 3-4 DEs for the Bulldogs, but they could be DT prospects for some NFL teams.
My point is that his speed and quickness for his size and the upside that comes with it (and it's not like he doesn't have any production either, he was very productive in 2010) is the reason why everyone is calling this guy a future top 15 pick. 330 lb DTs who move like Hankins and Lotuleilei don't come around very often. Guys with similar skills have gone higher than that on draft day without producing as much as he did.
I wouldn't use Branch as a great comparison. He was 6'6"/330. Hankins was closer to 6'3"/330 last year and was more similar to BJ Raji than Alan Branch. But it is right in how he played UT/DE in college and will likely be an NFL nose like Branch.
Nice list, going to have to watch more of this guy from Utah. FYI Kwame Geathers was a straight dog last year, really disappointing for a man his size, so hope he improves.
Not sure why you left these guys out, all have talent and potential for next years draft.
Casey Walker Oklahoma
Baker Steinkuhler Nebraska
Omar Hunter Florida
Jacobbi McDaniel Florida State
I really like Hankins as well, compared to Geathers, Hankins was crazy productive and impactful last year, very good season and should be even better this year.
I am a big Louis Nix fan too, talking low to the ground, big stout NT's, he is one to watch as a redshirt sophomore.
Casey Walker is barely on my radar right now; he had two tackles for loss and a sack against Texas and just one tackle for loss over the rest of the year. He suffered a season-ending knee injury the year before that and has virtually no production in 2009 or 2010. Steinkuhler is a decent player with some intriguing size for a 3-4 defensive end but he has never really put it together to this point and got arrested for a DUI so right now I'd say he's more of a mid-round pick. There's not really much tape available on Omar Hunter either, he barely played last season and only has one career sack. McDaniel missed most of last season with an ankle injury and hasn't really put it together either. I'll keep an eye on those guys but at some point they're going to have to produce in order to get noticed.
Just added a scouting report for Bennie Logan; at this point I don't think he's quite the prospect that Michael Brockers was last year but he should be able to earn a first round grade if he has a strong junior campaign. Logan's best fit is likely as a 3-4 defensive end.
Just ran into some bad luck; Easley tore his ACL during my Florida State review and Jesse Williams left the game early in the first meeting against LSU.
I'd suggest watching Joe Vellano from Maryland. Kid is a freaking beast. He's only about 6'1" 285 but he goes non-stop and has a quick first step.
Arkansas has an embarrassment of riches at the defensive tackle position with Bryan Jones and Robert Thomas. Every time I watched Arkansas play these two big monsters were making trouble. I think the Razorbacks even have a 3rd guy but I forget his name.
This isn't a bold prediction, but I think we will see more DTs picked in the first next year than QBs.
No 'Cobi. He's a midget with short arms and doesn't make up for it by being outstanding at any other aspect of his game. Undraftable but solid college player. Plus, it's possible he redshirts this year after a pretty gruesome injury second half of the season.
The two midround DT prospects for FSU are Everette Dawkins (3 tech / 3-4 DE type) and Amp McCloud (NT). Both should be drafted.

Watch: Mastodon premiere 'Black Tongue' from new album 'The Hunter'
When Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor told me earlier this year that the band was juggling who they wanted to produce their fifth full-length, I'll admit that I never thought they'd land on Mike Elizondo. It's not so much that I thought Elizondo incapable -- he's shocked with his propensity for variety, working with Eminem to Avenged Sevenfold to Fiona Apple. I thought of Dillinger collaborator Steve Evetts, or someone purely from the Hydra Head camp.
Elizondo's been a good fit so far, if new track "Black Tongue" is any testament.
The track is the first to arrive in full from "The Hunter," newly announced to arrive on Sept. 27. The tracklist to the set hasn't been finalized, but the first single has been confirmed, "Curl of the Burl," and fans who pre-order the fancy deluxe version of "The Hunter" will soon have first dibs on a digital download of it.
But "Black Tongue" is a also a pretty good gimme. The band's typical psych-reverb wash and barrage of double-bass has a killer pop to the rest of the kit, and the early key change to that shiny melody gives it enough build for a three-and-a-half-minute shortie.
The lyrics are particularly beastly, undoubtedly influenced by inspiration behind "The Hunter's" album artwork (or vice-versa?). The woodcut sculpture from folk artist AJ Fosik is being built in the video: a ferocious bull with multiple mouths, dozens of teeth and red horns. An animal so typically hunted seems to have something to say back at his predator.
Mastodon has also recently contributed a previously unreleased track to Adult Swim's newly bowed Singles Club. Check out "Deathbound" -- recorded during 2009's "Crack the Skye" sessions -- here. Other artists include today's contributor Clams Casino, one of my 2010 singles favorites Tallest Man on Earth and The Rapture.

A double dose of bus envy
An unusual sight revealed itself through my windshield a few weeks ago. I was downtown and couldn't help but notice the largest bus I'd ever seen was at a stop in front of my car. (Yes, even Ms. Metro gets behind the wheel sometimes.)
At first I assumed the vehicle was for sightseeing, since I've noticed double decker's packed with tourists exploring the city. However, this bus had a roof, was blue and white and read "The Double Tall" on the back. Even with that familiar of a coffee-inspired name, I could see the bus was clearly not an advertisement for Starbucks. Eventually "The Double Tall" made a right turn and unmasked an enormous "Community Transit: Smile and Ride" sign on the side.
I'd never seen a double decker bus for us commuters before and wanted to know more. I discovered that the company who makes the famous London double decker's created these 'andsome (Londoner slang) vehicles. While I haven't stepped foot on one myself, apparently the upper level offers an unparallelled scenic passage between the suburbs and city. While these Community Transit (CT) buses do travel to downtown Seattle, their point of origin is farther north with the southern most locale being in Shoreline. This means commuters like me who bus within the city of Seattle don't get a "Double Tall" unless we're actually placing an order at Starbucks.
According to the CT and Metro websites, these buses pack in more of us peeps, cost the same as articulated buses (or bendy accordion buses, as I call them) and had fewer maintenance and operational concerns. With so many perks, I'd think the old school, single story, rambler-like vehicles would become a thing of the past and these big boys would be everywhere. I understand bus ridership is up (which by the way explains why there's rarely an empty seat and I become a kind of contortionist in order to effectively maneuver past fellow passengers when boarding and exiting), and these two story rides seem like the solution to effectively transporting people. That said, as you've likely heard, both CT and Metro plan to cut service and Metro is increasing fees. I don't know about you, but paying more and getting less makes me sad, mad and a tad confused. Bet you can't wait to ride with me and a bunch of other agitated Seattleites.
Well played Community Transit, for making me envious of your fancy pants unattainable bus from the North.

Amenity Space: Jabberwocky, Leeds Metropolitan University
Amenity Space's Jabberwocky was a short-lived artwork for 2007's 'Light Night' – an evening of installations in Leeds on 12 October. In a courtyard at Leeds Metropolitan University, Amenity Space installed four 600m2, 2.4m-tall plywood boxes, mirrored on two sides, each reflecting a wall of 12 stained-glass panels commissioned by and documenting the work of engineer S Pearson & Son between 1844 and 1927. Accompanying text could only be read from the building's interior, so mirrors were used to reflect the words into the courtyard.

'another picnic table' by wouter nieuwendijk and jair straschnow
a design collaboration between designed by wouter nieuwendijk and jair straschnow, 'another picnic table' is a variation
on the iconic outdoor furniture object that tries to tackle two issues. first, nieuwendijk and straschnow's version
splits the bench into separate seats which results in a more comfortable arrangement. at the same time,
these seats can be flipped upwards to provide an alternative, more relaxed low seating position when one
does not require the use of the picnic table, giving the picnic table a new typology. the design is constructed from pressed bamboo.

December 6, 2011I am delighted that the Diversity Committee is finally meeting and I thank this incredibly
talented group for agreeing to participate. A special thanks to Henry Rivera for chairing the
committee yet again. I would also like to acknowledge Barbara Kreisman, who will serve as the
Designated Federal Officer for the Committee; Carolyn Fleming Williams and Nicole McGinnis,
who will also represent the Commission as Designated Deputy Federal Officers; and Tom Reed,
the Chief of the Office of Communications Business Opportunities. I am also pleased that we
are joined by the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Thank you for making the trip to be with us here
The last time the Diversity Committee met was December 2, 2010, more than a year ago.
The delay in announcing the members and convening the re-chartered Committee should not be
taken as an indication of this Committee's relevance and worth. I cannot overemphasize the vital
importance of this Committee's work to the Commission and the public. I hope that next year,
with your recommendations, the Commission will be able to promote policies that enhance the
ability of all Americans, particularly women and minorities, to participate in the communications
industry at all levels – as owners, managers, employees and in other roles.
In fact, the influence of this Committee extends well beyond this building. Not only do
the suggestions made by this group affect the rules adopted by the Commission, but your
recommendations have also prompted industry to take voluntary action. For instance, the
American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's) has developed and circulated to its
members an advertising non-discrimination policy framework to end the practice of "no urban/no
Hispanic" dictates. Thanks in part to the hard work of this Committee, which led to the
Commission adopting the nondiscrimination rule for advertising sales contracts as part of the
2007 Diversity Order, the advertising industry – which we do not regulate – has also
implemented processes to eradicate this despicable practice.
Just this morning, I was informed by Sherman Kizart that many of the CEOs of largest
advertising agencies have signed pledges to implement the 4A's non-discrimination policy.
These agencies control an estimated 7 out of every 10 dollars spent on advertising. This
achievement is highly significant and I would like to thank Sherman for his tireless efforts. He
has some additional ideas regarding the policy to end "no urban/no Hispanic" dictates and I hope
this Committee will strongly consider them.
As you may know, many of the other diversity provisions adopted in the 2007 Diversity
Order were struck down by the Third Circuit in the Prometheus II decision. The court's decision
makes the work that you will undertake here especially significant and timely. I hope this
Committee will actively engage on the myriad of proposals to enhance media diversity that have
been considered in the past and that may be introduced in the future. All suggestions need to be
fully evaluated. We can use your help and expertise in determining which policies will be the
most effective and practicable.
Of course, any actions the Commission would take in this area must also be legally
sustainable and satisfy the rigorous demands of the Equal Protection Clause, as interpreted under
the Supreme Court's Adarand line of cases. While I am at it, I would like to reiterate that the
diversity studies should be completed as soon as possible to assist us in supporting any new
regulations and determining the best approaches to increasing diversity.
I have had the pleasure of meeting with several members of the Committee over my years
at the Commission and I look forward to working with all of you all in the weeks and months to
come. I will close by simply reiterating my heartfelt gratitude for your service to this country.

PHS Alums Giving Back to Gig Harbor's KGHP
GIG HARBOR - Peninsula High School alums Ben Fuller, Dan Lillie and Jason Lillie have tapped into an outlet more than a year ago that allows them to use their passion to benefit others. They formed Music Giving Back in 2009 to do benefit concerts, launching into high gear after the shootings of the four police officers in Lakewood. Another former Gig Harborite, Danny Curry, is part of the group.
This month, the musicians will give their time to something close to their hearts — their former high school, specifically, the radio station KGHP.
"(KGHP) is a huge opportunity for kids to get some radio experience, if they want to go into that field, and also it's a great little alternative program up there for kids to get into, something that's different than print shop, for example," Fuller said.
The radio station has been supported through the Peninsula School District, with help from sponsors, but the funding has been getting tighter. Spencer Abersold, station manager, has been organizing creative fundraisers but KGHP is at a crosspoint.
"The school has provided for us, but they can't now," he said, adding that it's going to be up to the community whether the station stays on the air.
The Music Giving Back fundraiser solely for KGHP is on Feb. 25-27 at the Harmon Hub (in Tacoma). It will be an all ages show until 9 p.m., then switch to 21 and over. The lineup includes, the PHS alum band China Davis and others like, Roman Holiday, The Fun Police and Perry Acker, and organizers hope to attract renowned musician Michael O'Neill, who actually has a show on KGHP.
Suggested donation at the door is $10, and KGHP will sell T-shirts for extra funds. KGHP DJs will be on hand at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26, to meet their fans.
"It's going to be an opportunity (for supporters) to meet the people that they hear on the air, an opportunity for them to come out and support the station," Abersold said. "… By the commitment of Music Giving Back and Bell Fuller (and China Davis) and all the artists and the people who are behind this, it really says to us loudly that, 'we do support you.'"

The helicopter pilot that made an emergency landing in the Hudson River leaves the 79th Street Boat Basin, Sunday, June 30, 2013, in New York. The charter helicopter was carrying a family of four Swedes on a sightseeing tour of New York City when it lost power shortly after takeoff and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River, authorities said. The pilot and occupants were uninjured. (AP Photo/John Minchillo) / John Minchillo
NEW YORK (AP) - The pilot of a sightseeing helicopter that made an emergency landing on New York's Hudson River says he was just doing his job.
Michael Campbell tells the New York Post (http://bit.ly/12xUuqj ) everything was going smoothly Sunday when suddenly he heard "a big boom."
The charter helicopter was carrying a family of four Swedes when it lost power shortly after takeoff. It landed safely on the river. No one was injured.
The 23-year-old pilot said he knew he needed to remain calm. He says, "if I panicked, I knew it wouldn't be a very good ending."
Campbell deployed the craft's pontoons, which it kept it upright and afloat. A boater brought the family back to shore.

Stop Throwing out spinnach/lettuc
I have saved so much $$ by just putting the spinach in a plastic food storage lidded container with a paper towel on the bottom and another on top of the produce! Keeps up to 2 weeks! Works on sliced bell pprs too! Dry off the inside of the lid each time you open and use some of the contents. It's the water/wetness that spoils the produce before you have time to use it all. Amazing.

Hello All,
I'm having the doubt regarding the JVM heap size.
I'm having the JVM Heap memory as follows.
JVM Environment
Free Memory: 137 MB
Max Memory: 988 MB
Total Memory: 220 MB
I found that, there is a huge difference in the Total Memory size.
Why it is like that?
I can't able to find the solution why it shows the size like that?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Slices of life: When is 9/11?
By: Jill Pertler "When is 9/11?" The question comes from my youngest son. I tell him the day is next Sunday. The answer isn't what he's looking for. "When was the first one?" he asks. I know what he's getting at: When did the date September 11 become the number 9/11 – with connotations more far-reaching than any of us could fathom?
