SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Vice-chairman of the South Kingstown School Committee, Dr. Anthony Mega, has announced his resignation from his elected position starting July 1.
In a May 2 email to Town Manager Stephen Alfred and School Committee Chair Maureen Cotter, Mega stated, "I have been rewarded with the opportunity to represent this outstanding school district and the gracious citizens of our town. Simply stated, it is now the right time for my departure. Thank you for your commitment to excellence and trusted guidance through my tenure. I wish you the best."
Mega, who has served on the school committee since 2004, will finish his duties on July 1.
At that time, the South Kingstown Town Council will decide whether to appoint an interim member to finish off the year or to allow the seven-member school committee to operate with six members until the November elections.
Town Council President Ella Whaley indicated that the town charter stipulates the council shall appoint a new member.
"It's important we appoint someone or it will be a 3-3 vote," Whaley said.
The council will discuss the issue at the next meeting on Monday, May 14.
Mega's main reason for his departure is time constraints. Mega works as an oncology physician at The Miriam Hospital in Providence, where he also researches prostate cancer.
"In the context of being very busy as a physician and looking at a time where the school committee work will remain intense, at this point after seven and half years, I don't think I can continue meeting the commitment that is necessary," said Mega in a phone interview Monday afternoon.
Mega explained that he is not disenchanted with the committee and that he hopes to continue work in the school district in some capacity.
"Tony gave a lot of time during the eight years," stated Maureen Cotter, School Committee Chair. "He was a good listener and had a leadership style I enjoyed. He had a stage approach with thoughtful deliberations."
Over the past eight years, Mega has been a strong voice on the committee. During his four year tenure as chair from 2006 to 2010, he handled the transition of superintendents from Dr. Hicks to Dr. Kristen Stringfellow. He also led the committee during its discussions to close the South Road School and its debate to close the Wakefield School. After much public pressure, the committee opted to keep the Wakefield School open.
Mega's decision follows fellow school committee member, Richard Angeli Jr's, public acknowledgement that he will not seek reelection either this year.
The news tops a difficult two years for the school committee. Last year, the school committee crossed fire with National Education Association-South Kingstown during contract negotiations when the teacher's union argued that three new state polices should be negotiated. Recently, the two sides reopened the three year collective bargaining agreement they adopted last summer. They will not state publicly yet what changes, if any, the negotiations may bring.
During public hearings earlier this year concerns were raised regarding the school committee's lack of communication after it decided to move the pre-school from the Hazard School to South Road. It is a decision many saw as a surprise after the committee earlier approved a recommendation by an ad-hoc committee, the Reconfiguration Action Committee, to redistrict students to the Peace Dale Elementary School.
The committee also felt public backlash after they voted to hire two new $200,000 administrative positions following the firing of three special education teachers.
In November, the seats of members Stephen Mueller, Liz Morris, Angeli and Mega are up for reelection.
"It will be a new school committee. It will evolve into a school committee that operates well. I know everyone will miss Tony," Cotter said.

Greg Smith didnt score in his previous game against Wyoming.
Its good to have a short-term memory.
Smith responded Wednesday at Nevada, more than doubling his season average, by scoring a career-best 28 points, leading CSU to a come-from-behind win over the Wolf Pack, 73-69.
The senior forward scored Colorado State Universitys first eight points and had 18 in the first half, doing the bulk of the work when many of this teammates struggled from the field.
I just wanted to be aggressive. I havent played well the last two, and I needed to come off and be aggressive, Smith told the CBS Sports Network. Coach (Larry Eustachy) told me that yesterday and this morning and thats what I tried to do.
Just three Rams Smith, Dorian Green and Colton Iverson scored in the first half, and Pierce Hornung only played three minutes all night due to having the flu. It led to CSU (19-4, 6-2 MW) trailing by as many as 12 in the first period, but the team closed it to two at the break.
CSU took a lead in the second, but fought back and forth with Nevada the rest of the way until Iversons 16th and final rebound of the night made the difference.
Tied at 67-67 with 47 seconds to play, he brought down an offensive board and put back a layup to give the Rams their final lead. A pair of Wes Eikmeier free throws with 0:23 remaining allowed CSU to hold on for the four-point victory.
For Nevada, it was Malik Story carrying the Wolf Pack (11-11, 2-6 MW), but he was the only one. He had a game-high 31 points. Deonte Burton added 11.
Eikmeier and Green each scored 11, and Iverson posted 10 points.
Smith finished with 12 rebounds.

Duck, Duck, Goose: Hank Shaw on Cooking Waterfowl and His Truly Epic Book Tour
Hank Shaw doesn't do things the easy way. That's a given, considering that he's been blogging since 2007 at Hunter Angler Gardener Cook, sharing recipes and techniques for the food he eats -- nearly 100% of it hunted, fished, foraged, or grown himself; the rest sustainably raised by real people. So wasn't surprised at all when I saw his new cookbook, Duck, Duck, Goose -- it's an excellent guide to cooking waterfowl, both wild and farmed, pretty much from beak to tail. And I wasn't surprised that Hank took his usual care with this project, including lots of easy-to-understand technique, recipes inspired by all sorts of cultures (duck pho; I swoon), and gorgeous photos by his partner and photographer, Holly Heyser.
But I was surprised when I heard he was embarking upon a truly epic cookbook tour: Three months of promotions, crossing the country twice, hosting duck-themed dinners in 44 restaurants in 39 states. Whoa.
Hank's on break before the third leg of the tour starts in January. I recently got a chance to ask Hank about cooking ducks and geese, writing the cookbook, making jerky in his car in the summer, and the tour of all tours.
Julie Ross Godar: Why should we cook more (or, for most of us, any) duck and goose?
Hank Shaw: For me, it's all about flavor and diversity. Humans are designed to eat a little of a lot, not a lot of a little, so adding another protein source to your diet can only help your overall health. Eating duck is one small way to break the tyranny of the supermarket chicken. But even more than that, ducks taste awesome! A perfectly seared duck breast, with crispy skin and just a little fat, is like eating a steak wearing a hat made of bacon. It's one of my absolute favorite things to eat in the world.
JRG: Most of the people I've talked to who have never cooked (or even eaten!) duck and goose are worried about the fat. They're worried they won't render it properly. They're worried they'll catch their kitchens on fire. Or they're just worried that it's not healthy. What would you say to them? What's the best recipe for a beginner to try?
HS: There is no animal fat lower in saturated fat than duck or goose fat: It's better for you than beef fat, butter, or lard. Fresh rendered duck fat will actually be liquid in a warm room, it's so unsaturated. As for rendering it properly, well, that's why I wrote a book on the subject: My methods will leave you with just enough fat to be exciting and luxurious, but not so much that you'll be gnawing on globs of it.
Best recipe for beginners? Hands down, a simple seared duck breast. It's something I do close to 100 times year. Here's how I do it:
Take a duck breast out of the fridge and use a very sharp knife to score the skin -- not the meat -- in a cross-hatch pattern. Salt the duck breast well and set it on the counter for about 30 minutes.
Put about a teaspoon of oil or duck fat into a pan and lay the duck breasts in it, skin side down. Turn the heat to medium-high. Don't heat the pan first; you want to slowly render out the fat and crisp the skin. When the skin and fat starts sizzling like bacon -- listen for that sound -- turn the heat down to keep things at a happy sizzle. Cook the skin side until the skin is crispy and brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Turn the duck breast and cook until it's done to your liking -- about 2 minutes for rare, and up to 4 minutes for medium, depending on how large the duck breast is. One thing I also do is stand up the duck breasts on the thick side (the breasts have a thick side and a thin one) to "kiss" the edges for a minute or so: This gives you a nice even brown.
Finally, you absolutely need to rest the meat. Once it's just shy of done to your liking, take the breasts out and set them on a cutting board, skin side up. Let them rest 5 minutes before slicing. If you have a sauce, make sure it goes underneath the duck so you don't wreck that crispy skin you worked so hard to get. Enjoy!
JRG: Every time I look at your cookbook, I start to picture Dickensian holiday illustrations in my head. Are there any treatments or recipes you recommend (or recommend avoiding) for the holiday season?
HS: I have a recipe in the book for a perfect roast duck or goose that I worked on with my friend Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes that I am very proud of. It is the only way I know to get that wonderful combination of slow-cooked legs and wings AND a goose breast cooked medium, with crispy skin. I've used that method on both store-bought and wild birds and it's a total winner.
JRG: Tell me about dehydrating jerky in your car. How did you come up with that idea? Did your car smell like jerky all summer?
HS: LOL. Well, I live in Sacramento, so it gets hot in summer. It can reach 125 degrees inside my little pickup truck, and that's plenty hot enough to dry jerky. So I gave it a shot, and well, it worked great! The meaty jerky smell in the truck did linger a bit, but hey, it's manly, right?
JRG: Tell me about your book tour. You'll have been on the road for the better part of four months, presiding over duck-themed dinners in restaurants in 42 cities in 39 states. What motivated you to structure it this way? And do you think you will you ever want to eat duck again after you're done?
HS: The tour has been exhilarating, grueling, exhausting, and gratifying all at the same time. Mostly I am out on the road so long because people have asked me to come to their town: readers, hunters, and professional cooks. A lot of chefs read Hunter Angler Gardener Cook, and virtually every chef loves to cook duck, so it's a natural. My goal for all these dinners -- and dinners are a far better way to introduce people to the glories of duck than in a bookstore setting -- is to meet both my long-time readers and a host of new friends. Every dinner I do, I learn something from someone who knows some aspect of wild game, foraging, or fishing that I don't. They make me smarter, and I like that.

Stars vs. Blackhawks: Lindy Ruff trying to manage rookie Valeri Nichushkin's energy
The Stars didn't have a morning skate on Tuesday after playing in Dallas Monday night, so we're waiting for the pre-game skate for more information.
Lindy Ruff didn't reveal his goalie or his substitutions, but the guess here is Kari Lehtonen will be in net and Kevin Connauton will draw back in for Aaron Rome. We'll find out soon.
The subject of Valeri Nichushkin came up when we were chatting before the game, and Ruff said he is closely monitoring the 19-year-old rookie
"I think he's grown a lot," Ruff said. "I don't think it's easy for any rookie right now. He has good size, he maybe lacks a little finish right now. He gets a lot of great opportunities, but doesn't finish them the way you would like him to. But I think he's learned that it's a tough league and there's not as much time to hang onto it. We're trying to get him to move the puck quicker and play ,maybe a little more of a team game."
When Ruff had Rich Peverley and Erik Cole as option on the top line, he would often move Nichushkin down to the fourth line to give him some rest. Asked if he still is considering those options, Ruff said he reads Nichushkin on a game-by-game basis.
"I think even looking last night , he had decent energy but he was kind of getting knocked down a bit, and that's a sign that maybe there is a little fatigue in his game," Ruff said. "I would like to see him push through it. There are some options, but I would like to try to keep him there for the most part. Chiasson played well there the game in Philly, so we do have options."
Here are the expected lines for tonight:
Jamie Benn-Tyler Seguin-Valeri Nichushkin
Ray Whitney-Cody Eakin-Colton Sceviour
Antoine Roussel-Vern Fiddler-Ryan Garbutt
Shawn Horcoff-Dustn Jeffrey-Alex Chiasson
Alex Goligoski-Trevor Daley
Jordie Benn-Brenden Dillon
Kevin Connauton-Sergei Gonchar
Kari Lehtonen
Chicago will likely see the debut of highly-touted prospect Teuvo Teravainen
Here are the potential lines:
Kris Versteeg-Jonathan Toews-Marian Hossa
Brandon Saad-Teuvo Teravainen-Ben Smith
Patrick Sharp-Michal Handzus-Andrew Shaw
Brandon Bollig-Marcus Kruger-Peter Regin
Duncan Keith-Brent Seabrook
Johnny Oduya-Niklas Hjalmarsson
Nick Leddy-David Runblad
Corey Crawford
Here is Ruff on how he sees his goalie choices down the stretch:
"It's just going to go from game to game, and it's going to depend on what type of game the night before was," he said. "You can go to overtime or a long shootout, and I think you're going to have to factor all of that in with the goaltenders."
Asked if he has studied the history of Kari Lehtonen tiring down the stretch, Ruff said that this year could be different for a lot of reasons.
"I think the one thing is he's had some time off, which is a good thing," Ruff said. "The Olympic break, he didn't really have time off but he didn't play a lot of hockey. He had the injury, which bought him some time recently. So it might be a blessing in disguise. On one hand, we had a tough time without him, but at the same time, this might be what he needs to carry a little heavier load."

CULLMAN, Ala. (AP) -- Organizers of Rock the South, a two-day country music festival, have signed a contract to keep the concert in Cullman for the next five years.
Cullman Mayor Max Townson tells WBMA-TV (http://bit.ly/10c6BIy ) the city will likely conduct an economic impact study on the festival. Townson also praised the festival's organizers for making contributions to local organizations, including Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
More than 14,000 festival tickets had been sold before the event began this weekend, and the festival featured a meet and greet session with Willie Robertson, of A&E's series "Duck Dynasty."
Rock the South was initially held on the anniversary of the April 2011 tornadoes to celebrate the community's strength and showcase its recovery from the storm.

By Agnes Mazur
Early this June, marketing and advertising experts convened in Monterey for Sustainable Brands '09, where topics discussed ranged from fair trade labeling practices to product life cycle assessment. Among the emerging ideas for securing a profitable future in a challenging economy, two struck me as particularly promising. Virgance, an incubator for profitable business with a social activist flair, and EarthEra, a fund for a renewable energy future for America.
Can you recall a time in the past when a common yet challenging goal sparked a united global outpouring of creativity and collaboration? In searching for an answer to the troubled times we face, entrepreneur Steve Newcomb believes that the challenge of bringing about a paradigm of sustainability is parallel to landing a man on the moon. His business-savvy response to the call for innovation is Virgance, a profitable company that he ambitiously dubs "an Apollo project factory."
Virgance is essentially a new kind of business incubator. It blends ideas of social activism and conscious capitalism in a high tech way, with a mission to promote positive change using effective business models. All projects supported by Virgance must meet the five following criteria: causing as much direct change as possible, harnessing the power of people and community, using positive mechanisms for change, operating under a common technological infrastructure, and finally, operating within a for-profit business model. Once the firm identifies worthy projects, it supports them with not only traditional capital and technological infrastructure, but also invigorates them with creativity and opportunity for participation of everyone involved. Because its projects aim to produce social movements, not products, cutting-edge social marketing strategies are always part of the plan.
Among Virgance's early projects is CarrotMob (the brainchild of Virgance President Brent Schulkin), an entity that takes the flashmob phenomenon and tweaks it to encourage responsible business. Based on the knowledge that business is motivated by profit, Carrotmob poses challenges to businesses and rewards those that show the strongest commitment to social responsibility by mobbing them with clients. Last summer, Worldchanging covered an early Carrotmob in San Francisco, where shoppers swarmed a corner store that committed to dedicating 22 percent of these sales to improving its energy efficiency. (Video here.)
Another Virgance startup is One Block off the Grid (1BOG), an initiative whose mission is to make solar power easily available, understandable, and affordable to communities across the United States. 1BOG's website allows people interested solar to learn about solar economics, incentive structures and advantages of renewable energy. By seeing how many people in a given area are interested, 1BOG can negotiate with leading solar companies in the area to facilitate a group rate, offering discounts to homeowners, large projects to installers and an objective perspective as an impartial consumer advocate. Thus far, 1BOG has launched in 20 cities and on 8012 1BOG homes, with many more to come.
Virgance has two other projects currently in pilot mode, with plans for many more that will engage big brands, small business, grassroots activists and everyday people. We hope that Newcomb and his smart, innovative team succeed in their mission to create a future that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.
EarthEra: Investing in a Renewable Energy Future
NextEra, the largest producer of wind and solar energy in North America, has launched the EarthEra campaign to answer the challenge of funding and facilitating America's transition to a clean energy economy. The campaign's core concept is to produce a trust dedicated to the creation of new wind and solar projects across the United States.
Recognizing various groups' desire to contribute to a clean energy economy and the need to provide a vehicle to help them do so, EarthEra offers products for individuals, small businesses, corporations and governments. As an example, a family can calculate its carbon footprint on EarthEra's website and choose to purchase yearly offsets, while a small business can join a business network that allows them to demonstrate and market their environmental commitment to customers with the EarthEra brand. Corporations have a variety of options for becoming involved, with a wide range of products that help customers participate in the program through their purchases. An alliance with Eco-Media also allows corporations to purchase "carbon offset advertising," which contributes a percentage of revenue to help retrofit city buildings for efficient and renewable energy.
Revenue generated from the sales of these products is contributed to the Trust, currently estimated at $18 million. Working with an objective third-party trustee, NextEra has committed to dedicating 100 percent of the funds to building renewable energy facilities across the United States. Participants can view progress of the projects on EarthEra's website.
Agnes Mazur is a sustainability enthusiast based in San Jose, California. After completing her studies in Political Science, Spanish, and French at San Jose State University, she worked as a reporter in her native city of Warsaw, Poland. She has since returned to the Bay Area where she contributes to various efforts in sustainability including organizing an urban gardening project, researching up-and-coming green businesses, and attending various conferences about environmental sustainability. She hopes her love of world travel, nature and innovation can help change the world.
I know of another company that is very similar to both companies that you mentioned but with a different twist. I would like to share with you.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Shoppers fled and stores went into lockdown after bystanders thought they heard gunfire Wednesday during a food court fight at a shopping mall here.
police said three teens were arrested in late afternoon after a
fistfight involving 20 juveniles at Arden Fair Mall, about 5 miles from

like shots," store employee Crystal Rocha said.

Results: The Maximum Von Misses Stress (MVMS) was observed in the distobuccal area of the cortical bone near the crest of implant in two implant models. In the multi-piece abutment MVMS was more than the one-piece model (27.9 MPa and 23.3 MPa respectively).Conclusion:Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that the type of abutment has influence on the stress distribution in the area surrounding the implant during dynamic loading.

Williams advances in MontrealComment on this story
Montreal - World number one Serena Williams cruised into the quarterfinals of the Rogers Cup with a 7-5 6-4 win over Lucie Safarova on Thursday, but the Montreal tournament lost two of her potential title rivals when Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova were knocked out.
Second seed Kvitova, playing her first event since winning her second Wimbledon title, could not find her rhythm in falling 6-4 1-6 6-2 to Russia's Ekaterina Makarova while fourth seeded Sharapova was beaten 6-2 4-6 6-2 by Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro.
Playing in Montreal for the first time in 14 years, Williams has looked right at home on the Montreal hard courts after she won the tournament in Toronto last year.
While Williams was not as ruthless as she was in a 6-2 6-0 demolition of former US Open champion Sam Stosur in her opening match, the American still delivered on the big points when needed against her 15th-seeded Czech opponent.
"I really needed to serve well today because she was just hitting unreturnable serves for me," said Williams. "We didn't really have too many long rallies.
"We both were just hitting lots of service winners or aces. So it was kind of hard to get in a good rhythm."
Williams will now face Denmark's former-world number one Caroline Wozniacki, who brought Shelby Rogers' fairytale run to a shuddering end by crushing the American qualifier 6-1 6-0, in the quarter-finals.
"Obviously Serena has all the experience. She has a big serve. She takes the ball early," said Wozniacki.
"I would need to try and make her move, try and open up the points, serve well myself.
"Serena is obviously a great champion. She's an unbelievable player. You can see that with how many grand slams she's won, how many tournaments she's won.
"It's never a surprise whenever she's doing well. She's ruling the court." - Reuters

The sun was shining brightly in Siegburg, when the children's home 'Pauline von Mallinckrodt' celebrated its 110th anniversary with a huge children's party and a charity run on Saturday, July 6th. In addition to paying the entry fees for all employees who were participating in the run, Siegwerk supported the 'Pauline-Kids' by donating a very special highlight for their event.
The great rush on the pavilion with the Siegwerk banner, which started right with the opening of the anniversary party, held up for the whole afternoon. For many of the young inhabitants of the children's home and their visitors, the colorful airbrush tattoos that were provided here were the ultimate highlight of the event. More than 150 children and teenagers enthusiastically took the Siegwerk-financed opportunity to have their arms, legs or shoulders professionally decorated with their favorite motives by two specially trained children's entertainers.
In the meantime, the 'Siegwerk Running Team' was supporting the 'Pauline-Kids' with their sporty contribution. In sweat-inducing midsummery weather, the eleven Siegwerkers who participated in the two charity runs ran distances of 5 or 10 kilometers for the good cause. After the runs, every participant has been awarded a certificate as well as a special T-shirt. The entry fees from the runs are completely donated for the benefit of several projects of the children's home.

Enrique's dad has never met AnnaComment on this story
London - Julio Iglesias has never met Anna Kournikova because his son Enrique Iglesias is such a private person.
The Spanish singing legend has never been introduced to the former tennis pro in the 12 years she has been in a relationship with Enrique, but it doesn't bother him because he accepts the 'Hero' hitmaker is fiercely independent.
Quizzed about the fact the pair have never met, Julio told BANG Showbiz: "It's completely true that I have never met Anna Kournikova. I don't know why. There is no reason. Maybe because I travel a lot, like crazy. And Enrique also has a very strong, extremely independent personality. But I told him, 'Congratulations.' I prefer to look into my kids' eyes and see success instead of shadows."
The 70-year-old star has three children with his first wife, Isabel Preysler, including singers Enrique and Julio Jr., and five with his second spouse Miranda Rijnsburger.
He admits his superstar sons have never needed any advice from him and they have a typical father/son relationship where they don't discuss important things.
Julio said: "Fathers want to talk with their sons and sons want to talk less than their fathers. We think we know everything and they think we know nothing. And that philosophy is even stronger when the father and son share a profession. But you cannot tell anything to a champion. You cannot teach how to play to a champion and Enrique is a champion."
Julio is hoping his sons will take time out of their busy schedule to spend some quality time with him in the future just as he did with his own dad Julio Iglesias Sr. in the years before his passing in December 2005 at the age of 90.
He explained: "I don't follow them on Twitter but I know everything about Enrique and Julio. I know where they are, the music they are doing.
"It´s true they usually don't come to see me but I did exactly the same with my dad. But during the last years of my father's life we travelled the world together and I became his friend, more so than ever, so I hope that one day my kids will realise that."
This week, 'Begin the Beguine' singer Julio was presented with a special award by Sony Music in London for being the Most Successful Latin Artist of All Time.
Julio - who has sold over 300 million records worldwide in 14 languages during his six-decade spanning career - performs at The Royal Albert Hall in the UK capital on May 19. - Bang Showbiz

1. Kansas City Chiefs - Star Lotulelei, Defensive Tackle, Utah
NFL Comparison: Haloti Ngata, Baltimore Ravens
(Dorsey is a FA and while Tyson Jackson was just re-signed, he's not the difference-maker they need on the line. This guy could be.)
2. Jacksonville Jaguars - Luke Joeckel, Offensive Tackle, Texas A&M
NFL Comparison: Michael Roos, Tennessee Titans
(If they are going to roll with Gabbert, they must keep him upright to have a chance. LT Monroe is also a free agent after the season.)
3. Oakland Raiders - Sharrif Floyd, Defensive Tackle, Florida
NFL Comparison: Randy Starks, Miami Dolphins
(The Raiders need help everywhere, but especially in the middle, where Seymour and Bryant are FA's and they got little from their pass rush last season.)
4. Philadelphia Eagles - Eric Fisher, Offensive Tackle, Central Michigan
NFL Comparison: Nate Solder, New England Patriots
(Peters is coming off injury, while Herremanns is probably at his best on the interior. An athletic tackle that fits what Kelly needs for his fast-paced offense.)
5. Detroit Lions - Dee Milliner, Cornerback, Alabama
NFL Comparison: Joe Haden, Cleveland Browns
(Detroit desperately needs to upgrade the corner position once and for all. The team could take a big step forward with an improved D.)
6. Cleveland Browns - Dion Jordan, Linebacker, Oregon
NFL Comparison: Julian Peterson, San Francisco 49ers (retired)
(With the switch to the 3-4, an athletic outside rusher is needed to complement Sheard on the other side. Could step in right away.)
7. Arizona Cardinals - Geno Smith, Quarterback, West Virginia
NFL Comparison: Jason Campbell, Chicago Bears
(Anyone that watches Arizona knows they need an upgrade at QB to at least give Fitzgerald & Co. a chance to make some plays.)
8. Buffalo Bills - Barkevious Mingo, Defensive End, Louisiana State
NFL Comparison: DeMarcus Ware, Dalas Cowboys
(Same as the Browns, eventually switching to a 3-4 under the new coach, so an outside rusher is needed. Less risk than Jarvis Jones.)
9. New York Jets - Ezekial Ansah, Defensive End, Brigham Young
NFL Comparison: Jason Pierre-Paul, New York Giants
(Theme of pass rush continues here has the Jets take the plunge on the raw, but athletic and talented BYU product.)
10. Tennessee Titans - Bjoern Werner, Defensive End, Florida State
NFL Comparison: Chris Long, St. Louis Rams
(Tennessee has gotten little out of former 1st rounder Morgan, Wimbley disappointed with only 6 sacks, and they have little depth beyond that to speak of.)
11. San Diego Chargers - Lane Johnson, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma
NFL Comparison: Eric Winston, Kansas City Chiefs
(They need to keep Rivers upright, and this guy has seen quite a rise in the last month or so.)
12. Miami Dolphins - Xavier Rhodes, Cornerback, Florida State
NFL Comparison: Patrick Peterson, Arizona Cardinals
(Will probably address WR need in FA, while the possible loss of Sean Smith opens need at CB. Rhodes is exactly the type of big corner this regime looks for.)
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Alec Ogletree, Linebacker, Georgia
NFL Comparison: Thomas Davis, Carolina Panthers
(A little bit of a surprise, but he is very talented, and he allows Tampa to kick Foster outside and improve LB corps and defense as a whole.)
14. Carolina Panthers - Kenny Vaccaro, Safety, Texas
NFL Comparison: Mark Barron, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
(The secondary was so bad last year it cost them some games. They need a stabilizing presence back there so enter the top safety in the draft.)
15. New Orleans Saints - Jarvis Jones, Linebacker, Georgia
NFL Comparison: Bruce Irvin, Seattle Seahawks
(The free fall stops here as the Saints are another team in need of an outside pass rusher for their switch to the 3-4. They get arguably the top one here.)
16. St. Louis Rams - Cordarrelle Patterson, Wide Receiver, Tennessee
NFL Comparison: Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons
(If the Rams want Bradford to take the next step forward they need a true #1 for him to target. Cordarrelle definitely has the talent to be just that.)
17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Damontre Moore, Defensive End, Texas A&M
NFL Comparison: Kamerion Wimbley, Tennessee Titans
(Harrison is on his last legs in the Steel City. Moore should be higher, but his Combine #'s cause him to fall right into the lap of the eager Steelers.)
18. Dallas Cowboys - Jonathan Cooper, Offensive Guard, North Carolina
NFL Comparison: Mike Iupati, San Francisco 49ers
(Kind of a slam-dunk here. The Cowboys need to upgrade with more athletic lineman up front. Cooper is as athletic as they come for interior lineman.)
19. New York Giants - Cornellius Carradine, Defensive End, Florida State
NFL Comparison: Andre Carter, New England Patriots
(Maybe another surprise to some, but "Tank" was on his way to being a top 10 pick before suffering an ACL tear. The Giants will gamble on his talent.)
20. Chicago Bears - D.J. Fluker, Offensive Tackle, Alabama
NFL Comparison: Flozell Adams, Offensive Tackle (Dallas Cowboys - retired)
(Another slam-dunk as the Bears have struggled to keep Cutler upright for a couple years now. Fluker can step in and start at RT right away.)
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Eddie Lacy, Running Back, Alabama
NFL Comparison: Chris Ivory, New Orleans Saints
(The Law Firm was serviceable for Cincy last year, but an upgrade is needed for this offense to take the next level. Lacy is a complete, work-horse back.)
22. St. Louis Rams - Menelik Watson, Offensive Tackle, Florida State
NFL Comparison: Alex Barron, St. Louis Rams
(Another Seminole sneaking into the 1st. Watson is a uber-talented former JUCO basketball player that is ideal fit to be Bradford's blindside protector.)
23. Minnesota Vikings - Sheldon Richardson, Defensive Tackle, Missouri
NFL Comparison: Kevin Williams, Minnesota Vikings
(Minnesota's interior D-line is getting a little long in the tooth and an upgrade is needed. Richardson is a top-20 talent that should contribute quick.)
24. Indianapolis Colts - Chance Warmack, Offensive Guard, Alabama
NFL Comparison: Marshal Yanda, Baltimore Ravens
(Indy is elated to have a player of Warmack's caliber fall right into their laps to provide more protection for their franchise QB Luck.)
25. Seattle Seahawks - Manti Te'o, Linebacker, Notre Dame
NFL Comparison: Rey Maualuga, Cincinnati Bengals
(Carroll isn't afraid to take chances on players, and he is familiar with Te'o, having recruited him at USC so he knows what kind of character he brings.)
26. Green Bay Packers - Gio Bernard, Running Back, North Carolina
NFL Comparison: Knowshon Moreno, Denver Broncos
(Gio would be a perfect fit for the GB offense and would finally give them a respectable running game and make this offense even more scary.)
27. Houston Texans - Keenan Allen, Wide Receiver, California
NFL Comparison: Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
(The Texans have been searching for a legit #2 WR to complement Andre for a long time. Pairing these two up could be real bad fordefenses.)
28. Denver Broncos - Desmond Trufant, Cornerback, Washington
NFL Comparison: Marcus Trufant, Seattle Seahawks
(Trufant could go much earlier than this, but he is a nice fit in Denver as an eventual replacement for Bailey and after Porter disappointed last year.)
29. Atlanta Falcons - Tyler Eifert, Tight End, Notre Dame
NFL Comparison: Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints
(Gonzalez will probably return. But as insurance, Atlanta drafts Eifert, who will make this offense really scary and eventually replace the HOF'er.)
30. New England Patriots - Tavon Austin, Wide Receiver, West Virginia
NFL Comparison: Percy Harvin, Minnesota Vikings
(If Welker walks, this would be a best-case-scenario for the Pats, as Austin's best fit is as a dynamic slot guy that NE can move around and scare defenses.)
31. San Francisco 49ers - Johnathon Hankins, Defensive Tackle, Ohio State
NFL Comparison: Marcell Dareus, Buffalo Bills
(Sopoaga is a FA, as is Jean-Francois, so a NT of the present and future is needed, as well as the line depth as Justin Smith's age becomes more of a factor.)
32. Baltimore Ravens - Kevin Minter, Linebacker, Louisiana State
NFL Comparison: Jonathan Vilma, New Orleans Saints
(Kind of an obvious pick here as the athletic, intelligent Minter can step in a replace the legend Ray Lewis in the middle. Ellerbe also could sign elsewhere.)
Round 2:
33. Jacksonville Jaguars - Matt Barkley, Quarterback, Southern California
34. San Francisco 49ers - Zach Ertz, Tight End, Stanford
35. Philadelphia Eagles - E.J. Manuel, Quarterback, Florida State
36. Detroit Lions - Datone Jones, Defensive End, UCLA

I'm hearing everywhere that the best size ad for Adsense is 728×90. The problem is that I'm finding that most WordPress themes (that I know of anyway) are not nearly this wide in the blog post area. I'd like to embed an add of this width within the blog post. Does anyone know of good themes that will accommodate an ad of this width?
Thanks!February 18, 2013 at 7:58 am #20985
Hi there,
You could go to a full-width (no sidebar) layout to accommodate on just about any theme. If you're using a mobile responsive theme and keeping your ads mobile responsive is important, you may want to read up on that here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-adsense-responsive-design/25252/
If I could just put in my two cents, I'd say that picking a design just to accommodate an ad isn't the best approach. The design should reflect your brand and the style of your content and let the ads fall where they may. I realize there is strategy to consider, but if your overall design isn't built with your audience/reader in mind, they probably won't be there to see the ads anywhere. Just my opinion.

You make an excellent point Carrie. I've been rethinking this idea a lot since posting this. I do also have to think about responsive design issues as well. Appreciate your comment.September 2, 2013 at 10:30 pm #60351
I took a look at your website yesterday and was impressed. I have a question for you if you are able to help.
We're using Google's DoubleClick for Publishers to serve ads. I added a 728×90 ad between the nav bar and content-sidebar wrap yesterday by registering a new sidebar and using the genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap hook and a tutorial from Nick the Geek. It worked well.
There's just one problem, though. I haven't figured out how to make the 728×90 ad responsive. I don't think the AdSense code you mentioned above applies since we're using DFP. I tried adding the .before-content-ad class to the box-sizing responsive rules (we've added a few to the default rule) that apply to .content-sidebar #content, .content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap, etc., but that didn't quite seem to do it. The 728×90 shows up fine, but it's widened the screen so that I need to scroll from right to left on my phone to read everything.
Do you have any suggestions? Our website is Oak Ridge Today. It's at http://oakridgetoday.com.
Thank you,
John HuotariSeptember 3, 2013 at 5:20 am #60386
Hi John,
You're out of my league when it comes to DFP – I haven't read anything about it or worked with it.

All of our other ads are also served with DFP, and they seem to work okay on the responsive site. The DFP code is inserted into text widgets in the primary sidebar and in the content area. Of course, the largest ad size we've run so far has been a 300×250, so it's not clear to me if the ads are actually being responsive or we've just not run into any issues because the ads are small enough.
I'll do some more research and let you know what I find out.

Indiana All Stars' Bryson Scott dries to the basket as Kentucky All Stars' Jack Whitman, right, defends as the Indiana All-Stars' boys defeat the Kentucky All-Stars' boys in Freedom Hall. June 14, 2013
- Filed Under
For Purdue basketball recruit Bryson Scott, Saturday is a day he never will forget.
In the morning, the combo guard graduated from Fort Wayne Northrop High School. Then, he rejoined his Indiana All-Star teammates to complete a two-game sweep of Kentucky, scoring six crucial points in the final 1:06 of a difficult 84-77 victory in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Incoming Kentucky recruits Dominique Hawkins, his state's Mr. Basketball, and Derek Willis, who gave Purdue a verbal commit two years ago before changing his mind, made sure that Indiana would not duplicate the 54-point romp it achieved ...

Get well soon Fabrice Muamba
By Andy Morris 18 March 12
He stopped breathing and 36,000 people fell silent. Watching Fabrice Muamba, the 23 year old Bolton Wanderers' midfielder collapse in front of a stadium full of people on Saturday evening has shocked the world of football. Muamba suffered cardiac arrest shortly before half-time at White Hart Lane and was rushed to intensive care. As the news spread, those unacquainted with Muamba's remarkable life became more enlightened - learning of his childhood in the civil war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo, his love of academia, his recent proposal to his girlfriend and his experience playing for every level of England's youth teams.
This shocking event simultaneously exposed the best aspects of the footballing community and the worst elements of the online world. Former teammates and fellow professionals all paid tribute, with Chelsea's Gary Cahill wearing a "Pray For Muamba" t-shirt earlier today. Tottenham's Tom Huddlestone probably put it best by tweeting, "Thoughts with Fab and his family. Feel sick watching this, puts football and everything else into perspective." The petty rivalaries, the partisan allegiances - everything has been suspended until Muamba pulls through.
What has been particularly disheatening however is the fact that for all those tweeting or sending messages of support (there are currently over 41,000 likes for "Get Well Soon Fabrice Muamba" on facebook) the trolls of the internet have decided to unleash their venom. "R.I.P Fabrice Muamba" was trending on twitter earlier tonight and taking a look at the youtube comments under the video of the incident, one can only express despair. Of course such online abuse happens to many individuals in the public eye - but to see a man brought low through no fault of his own being anonymously accused of "faking" his own heart attack is absolutely disgusting. Our thoughts are with Muamba's family and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Jerry Jones takes time during news conference to interview Tyron Smith
Jerry Jones stopped for a moment from taking questions and started asking them during a news conference featuring offensive tackle Tyron Smith, whom the Cowboys acquired Thursday with the ninth overall pick of the NFL Draft.
The answers Jones received were quite revealing, when Jones began a conversation with Smith.
"How old were you when you started cleaning commercial buildings?" Jones asked.
"How old was I?" Smith responded. "I was four years old. Four years old. I worked all through high school and when I got to college my family kept the business going and my brothers and sisters come had come to the point where they manage the whole business.'
"Let's say during the school year, how many hours would you work cleaning building?" Jones asked.
"Right after school I started working and sometimes in elementary I wouldn't come back until it was time for me to go to school. Growing up, it was a struggling lifestyle and it was just hard work."
Silence briefly filled the room.
"Do you know what a dollar means?" Jones asked.
"Do you know what a dollar means?" Jones asked again.
"Yeah," Smith said. "I do."
"That's a big point," Jones interjected. "I am really impressed with the kind of background he has had."
And with that said, the media started asking the questions again.


text: Courtney Love Gave Up Rights to Kurt's Image for Cash Publicity rights now in Frances' hands until mom repays $2.75M loan By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted May 4, 2012 1:41 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (3) (Newser) – She lost custody of her daughter, Frances Bean in 2009, and in 2010 Courtney Love gave up custody of the name and likeness of Frances' father Kurt Cobain, according to court documents obtained by The Fix. The documents show that Love surrendered publicity rights for the Nirvana frontman in return for a $2.75 million loan from Frances' trust fund. Love has no say in the use of Cobain's name and likeness until the loan is repaid in full. The administrative rights to Nirvana's music, meanwhile, are owned by Larry Mestel of Primary Wave Music, meaning that Love—who said the Muppets "raped" Kurt Cobain by using "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in their latest movie—was wrong when she claimed Disney had no right to use the song, because the decision was Mestel's. But it's 19-year-old Frances who now controls Cobain's image, so it'll be on her "if her dad's hologram goes on tour," notes Entertainment Weekly.

San Angelo police seek suspect in aggravated kidnapping
SAN ANGELO, Texas - San Angelo police arrested one suspect and are searching for a second in connection to what authorities called an aggravated kidnapping and burglary.
UPDATE: Luis Martinez Granado, 37, was taken without incident and booked into the Tom Green County Jail - click here to read the story.
About 3:30 a.m. Friday police were called to the River Place Apartments, 501 South Irene, in response to a call of an aggravated robbery. Officers met with a 64-year-old woman who said she was house-sitting for a friend at a residence in the 800 block of Cactus Lane in Grape Creek, according to a police news release.
She told officers a man and a woman approached her, pushed their way into the residence and threatened to kill her with a gun if she did not cooperate, police said. The two tied the woman up, rummaged through the rooms and took change and small electronics.
According to the release, the couple put her in a vehicle and drove to her apartment in San Angelo where they made her sit while they searched "looking for anything of value." At one point the female suspect left to buy cigarettes.
"The man showered, ate a bowl of cereal and then left the apartment," the release states.
Police Lt. David Howard said only the woman's arms were tied up. Although the man cut the phone lines, she was able to fax the police for help.
Howard said the victim reported never having met the strangers. Police said the two stole jewelry, credit cards and clothing from both apartments.
While police were still processing the crime scene when the female suspect, later identified as Rachel Leann Bradley, drove up. According to the release she was taken into custody after a brief struggle.
Bradley, 26, was charged with aggravated kidnapping and burglary of a habitation and booked into the Tom Green County Jail.
Police are searching for the man they identified as the second suspect, Luis Granado, 37, who is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts are asked to not try to take him into custody, but to call the police department at 325-657-4315.
Aggravated kidnapping is a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years in prison if convicted. Burglary is a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison.

A domino effect of ordering everything in sight possesses anyone who enters Ara's. Quadruple-layer columns of trays extend across the bakery, heavy with cookies, Bavarian cake slices, cream tarts and other European confections. And, of course, there's baklava, the Middle Eastern dessert standard baked here in eight distinct styles: shaped into diamonds, hexagons, flaky cylinders . . . nearly every shape in the Game of Perfection. 2227 W.

Customers cram this cramped emporium not for the pan dulce—which is delicious, by the way—but for raspados, the Mexican version of snow cones made with the vivacious fruits of the country in syrup form.

A couple of Thai buffets offer Laotian soups and beef jerky, but the county's remaining Laotian diner is the curiously titled Dee Dee, where the roselle juice's narcotic spell reminds slurpers why Laos' inclusion into the Golden Triangle arose in the first place and the curries come garnished with peanuts and fat onion slices. 309 S.

It's pure comfort to know that the same waitresses will serve you the same chicken pot pies year after year. These pies are the size of large talcum-powder puffs and have a flaky, golden-brown pastry crust. 928 N. Euclid St., Anaheim, (714) 533-2021. ¢
Though it's in an area long overrun by Mexicans, all races line up in equal numbers outside El Pollo Fino, a charbroiled chicken shop decorated with photos and paintings of fighting roosters, a bulletin-board collage of boxing cut man extraordinaire Chuck Bodak, and three portraits of Aztec nobles cradling naked, curvaceous damsels.

Americans famished for a savor of liberty should trek over to India House, a tiny-but-posh Buena Park restaurant where the promise of freedom comes with a complimentary basket of naan.

The thirtysomething-year-old deli is little more than counters, chips and sodas—which is to say, it's the perfect beach shack restaurant, even if it's on PCH.

While the Avanti menu is strictly vegetarian, with faux meats and even cheese, the steak-and-potatoes crowd will hardly notice or care.

Good job, Costa Mesans: when Vons Supermarket threatened to shutter the Omelette Parlor in late 2003, y'all rallied to save this blue-collar haven (you should've done the same for Kona Lanes, though).

There are no frills at Frank's Philadelphia when it comes to their Philly cheesesteak: humongous loaf (even the small is ginormous); beef bits chopped into portions so teensy you can absorb them through your fingertips; grilled peppercinnis that remain juicy and fleshy even after meeting cast iron; and melted mozzarella that pours into your innards like milk. 2244 Fairview Rd., Costa Mesa, (949) 722-8725. $
Make a beeline to the sushi bar, where the fish is most inventively prepared. Anything on the menu involving eel or avocado is a must, and the fried, heads-still-on-as-beady-little-eyes-stare-at-you shrimp is a greasy delight. 10545 Valley View St., Cypress, (714) 236-0678. $$

Aspen Travel Guide
With four mountains for skiing, a full slate of annual festivals, and the ever-present possibility of spotting some celebs enjoying their après-ski, Aspen offers an elegant version of the Rocky Mountain High. And while prices can be loftier in Aspen than in other Colorado resort towns, you have excellent access to gorgeous hotels, top-notch dining and, come summer, great hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. In fact, coming here during the off-season, when prices dip nicely, offers one of the best values in the Rockies. Read on in this Aspen travel guide to plan your trip here:
Things Not to Miss in Aspen
• Skiing one of the slopes: Buttermilk if you're a beginner, and Snowmass or Aspen if you want more of a challenge
• Going to one of the town's great festivals, such as summer's Aspen Music Festival and the Aspen Ideas Festival
• Browsing the Aspen Saturday Market, from June through October
• Hiking the "Grottoes," the caves on Independence Pass, along the Roaring Fork River
• If you're feeling bold, check out nearby Conundrum Hot Springs, known for clothing-optional swimmers
When to Go to Aspen
The prime times for Aspen travel, in terms of crowds and prices, are in ski season—mainly from December to March—and then in the summer during the festival season. The payoff if you visit Aspen in the summer, though, is getting to experience the mountain bliss with temperatures are in the high 70s. If you want to go rafting, you'll get the best snowmelt-fueled rapids in June. For the best deals, travel to Aspen in September, when prices are the lowest, the crowds thin and the foliage pops with color. Aspen travel during the summer is wonderful as well. It isn't too hot. The beautiful leaves in the fall make people want to visit Aspen.

Back-to-school must-have: My School Years Books
I have a hard time remembering yesterday, let alone what teacher my daughter had two years ago. Sometimes when reflecting back, she asks me "what her favorite color was" or "did she have a favorite game". With three kids, it's impossible to keep everything straight. This year I'm investing in these adorable fill-in-the-blank memory books that allow you and your kids (if they write on their own) to record all of their favorites for the year. There is also pockets to keep important things like report cards and favorite art and space for 20 photos. Available for preschool to sixth grade, these books are a must-have for any kid headed back-to-school.

For almost as long as there have been computers, people have tried out ways of creating origami—or at least, folded paper shapes—using computational techniques. Once they began developing computational tools for folding, there arose the supporting field of computational origami: the study of mathematical laws and data structures that apply to the intersection of computing and folding.
Computational origami is a subset of the branch of computer science known as computational geometry; many of the algorithms of the former have broader applicability in the latter. We see, for example, the straight skeleton appearing in problems as diverse as the design of origami insects and the design of pitched roofs on buildings!
The practical realization of computational origami theory and algorithms are tools—computer programs—that carry out origami design and computations. In this section I present several computational investigations of my own.
Since the turn of the millenium, the field of computational origami has exploded, and there are many more computational tools and theoretical explorations in the field. Check out my of scientific/mathematical links for many of the latest developments.

Chiefs remain on topComment on this story
Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs maintained their two-point lead at the top of the Premiership standings with a convincing 3-1 win over Black Leopards in Polokwane on Wednesday evening.
While Amakhosi stayed clear of second-placed Orlando Pirates, who held a game in hand, Lidoda Duvha remained hovering just above the relegation zone.
Chiefs got off to a cracking start, with Tefu Mashamaite flicking his leg out and getting a tap in to put his side ahead, after a corner from the right, in just the fourth minute.
Leopards had a double chance midway through the first half when Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune made two quick saves from an attack led by former Amakhosi player Abbas Amidu.
The stretching shot-stopper first got a hand to the ball, tipping it against the post, and then deflected it off the rebound strike.
Leopards continued to keep pressure on the league pace-setters, and Joshua Obaje equalised four minutes before half-time, slotting in from close range.
Chiefs nearly regained the lead six minutes into the second period when Mandla Masango got around Leopards keeper Azwindini Maphaha to open a gap, but he missed wide to the left from a tight angle.
Bernard Parker had an attempt from a set-piece shortly after the hour mark, but his curling free-kick was punched away by Maphaha, who was superb, particularly in the second half.
Three minutes later, however, the Leopards keeper was given no chance when Kingston Nkhatha latched onto a through ball from Reneilwe Letsholonyane and slammed the ball into the back of the net from just inside the area.
Lucky Baloyi put the result beyond doubt in injury time with his first goal of the season.
In a simultaneous fixture, Pirates beat Platinum Stars 1-0 at Orlando Stadium to stay within reach of Chiefs, while Dikwena, in third place in the table, fell slightly off the pace, three points behind. - Sapa

WTHR says IMPD expects to release the completed crash and inspection report later this week.
Driver Dennis Maurer has told polis the brakes failed as the bus was exiting Interstate 465 on Indianapolis' north side and hit a concrete median.

Some gifts fall into the love-it-later category
Have you ever said "thank you" through clenched teeth? The gift in that nicely wrapped box was so not what you wanted: comfy clothes instead of designer duds, or a kitchen gadget instead of a shiny piece of jewelry.
Sometimes, though, the best gifts are the ones you use, and, frankly, most of us probably wear hoodies more than haute couture.
With a closet full of beautiful boots and gravity-defying heels, flat-foot, furry Uggs weren't at the top of celebrity stylist-designer Rachel Zoe's shopping list. They were OK for other people — she might even have suggested them — but she didn't see them fitting into her closet until someone gave her a pair.
"Once you put them on, you can't go back," Zoe says. "In my house, it's now the family at-home shoe. I wear them all the time. My son has 10 pairs and my husband has 10 pairs."
Bradford Shellhammer, founder of Fab.com, which sells unusual items like canvas carryalls screen-printed with images of designer handbags, says gifts fit into three categories: the things everyone knows you want, the bad surprises and the amazing things that make you wonder, "How did I live without it?"
A. Mitra Morgan, founder and chief curator of decorative home-goods website Joss & Main, can't imagine her busy life without the wallet-phone case wristlet her mother gave her last year.
Morgan has almost unlimited access to the pretty things on so many gift lists. Her mother, however, thought her daily necessities were too scattered. She didn't know it at the time, Morgan admits, but mom was right.
Morgan received another love-it-later gift, this one from her husband. He gave her flat-bottomed pizza scissors.
"Coming from my husband, this was at the level of receiving a vacuum. I thought, 'Really, this is what we've come to?'" Morgan says. "But it's awesome!"
Christine Frietchen, a shopping expert who is advising TJ Maxx and Marshall's this year on their gift-giving programs, says a gift is something you wouldn't get for yourself. And the best way to know you've given a successful gift, she says, is if the receiver becomes an evangelist for it.
Adam Glassman, creative director at O, The Oprah magazine, was never at risk of buying the Patagonia fleece sweatpants his brother got for him a few years ago. "Never in my life did I think I'd need sweatpants, but I live in them," he gushes. "When I come home from work, they are my go-to item. I wear them more than any other clothes in my closet."
The only gift he might treasure more is the Eddie Bauer silk long johns his other brother gave him, something else he didn't think he needed or wanted.
"Where was the Tom Ford, the Gucci?" Glassman says with a laugh.
But after a few winters of layering the long johns under his more fashionable pieces, he's now buying them as gifts for other people.
Shellhammer says friends and family can't ask for the items offered on Fab.com because the website sells things people don't know exist. Items such as a shower curtain with a map of Paris (what enthusiastic traveler wouldn't want one?) or a pug T-shirt for your favorite dog lover. (Shellhammer predicts the Mountain Pug Tee will be a top seller this season. The entire shirt becomes the face of a pug, wrinkles, jowls and all.)
And Shellhammer says it's OK to be playful and show a little sense of humor when giving a gift. You'd be surprised how many positive comments the website has received about a hedgehog dish brush, he says. "It just gives you that crack of a smile."
Brian Berger says the Yumaki toothbrush his business partner gave him is a present he'll always remember — and appreciate. And, it's something he uses every day.
His partner was trying to make a point as he and Berger recently launched a men's undergarment and socks business called Mack Weldon that also is courting customers with the idea of "elevated basics," Berger explains.
Some other gift ideas from the experts:
• Kitchen knives.
• Comfortable earbuds.
• Colorful tights and leggings.
• Berry bowls.

A lot of people do skimp on themselves, especially in a season where they are spending so much money, so an upgrade of something mundane to luxurious — or at least more fun — can be a very thoughtful gift, says gift adviser Frietchen.
"Have you ever had a really nice hairdryer, a really good dryer? You think a hairdryer is a hairdryer until you have a good one in your hand. It can change your life," Frietchen says.

TribLive commenting policy
You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.
We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
