Toddler cosleeping, new baby?
Proud Army wife to Max!
Mama to Benjamin 7/16/10 and Baby Boy #2 EDD 1/19/13
No advice here :( My 3 year old still sleeps in my bed so I'm worried about how this is going to work out. I don't have an SO or a BF so it's been just him and I for the past 2 years. I'm just waiting to see.. he has his own room with a twin size bed, but he refuses to sleep in it lol

Clear his room of harmful things, make sure dressers are attached to walls, etc, and get one of these:
Or put a baby gate in the door.

Since I'm an AP and let my kiddos co-sleep, I will say I have had great success with slowly transitioning my kids. I totally understand the "we let him in bed b/c we were really tired" thing, and the hardest part of what you now have to do is fight that feeling and stick to your guns.
Your son is seeking emotional comfort, and personally I never want to deny my children comfort when I could possibly provide it - even when they're adults! (Not that I think I can keep harm or disappointment from reaching them, but why not do what you can, when you can? This kind of comfort is not babying them or detrimental in any way. I've found it can really be beneficial to help enforce that you are someone they can always rely on.)
Anyway, to that end, I encourage you to put a makeshift bed at the foot/side of yours. When your DS climbs in bed with you, take him to the makeshift one and lay there with him. Talk to him about how he's a big boy, and ask him about why he wants to get in bed with you. If he says he's scared, address those fears. If he says he misses you, remind him that you're nearby. The first little while, you'll probably have to stay with him until he's asleep. After that you could start getting back in your bed, but tell your DS that he can hear you/ talk to you. Maybe even sing him a song while you're in your bed and he's on the floor.
Eventually, the idea is to move the makeshift bed further and further from you, and closer to his actual bed. Some parents will then put it outside their door and lock their door (I've never had to do that, though).
Another route is to do the similar comforting of talking/singing etc, but taking him straight to HIS bed. It just means more work on your part, since you'll be out of your bed longer for a while. DH might have to take over this role if LO comes before your DS is back to sleeping in his own bed.
Good luck!

You can use a baby gate to keep him in or a mini bed in your room. You could have DH sleep on the floor in his room for a few nights, so he has company and DH can put him back in bed if needed.
We just transitioned my DD into a double bed in a new room. She's 20 months old. The first few nights, she slept straight through. If she cried, we went in and soothed her back to sleep. The last few nights, she has been up at 3 am and walks into our room. DH has been letting her sleep with us. After a few minutes, I just picked her up and took her back to her room. She protested and I spent the rest of the night in her room with her. I plan on cosleeping with new baby soon, and I don't want them both in the bed at the same time. I do have a baby gate ready to install, so I may have to do that. Her room is also very bare for now - to minimize the distractions. I'd give your son some time. DD's only been in the big bed for 10 days or so.

So... Let's take a look at look at the top events and trends that helped shape the year from a PCI perspective:
Best of luck to everybody in the new year and have a happy, successful 2010!

The mighty masters of morbid rock have returned (again). Sabbath bear the responsibility for some of the most monstrous riffs ever created, and there aren't many contemporary rock bands who are totally free of their influence, so a huge tour and a new album ('13' – named after the year, since they actually released their thirteenth record in 1987) are a welcome reminder of just how important they've been to the development of rock, metal and grunge. Sadly drummer Bill Ward dropped out last year, but apart from that the Sabbath line-up on show is the same one that came together in Birmingham in 1968. That means Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler playing towering guitar lines at ear-splitting volumes, plus Ozzy Osbourne's crazed screams and zombie-like jerks. Raise the horns.

GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) -- A 3-year-old girl used the simple song lyrics "911 green" to call 911 and get help after her pregnant mother fainted. Jessica Eaves, 24, taught her daughter Madelyn the song a week before she fainted due to a medical condition called vasovogal syncope.
When Eaves fainted, Madelyn picked up her mother's BlackBerry phone and pressed 911 and the green button and was connected to a dispatcher.
In the recently released 911 call, Madelyn was able to answer questions about her house and cars outside that led emergency workers to the home.
And this isn't the first time Madelyn has used a phone to call for help for her mother.
Eaves first learned of her condition a year ago and taught her daughter the lyrics "green, green, green."
When Eaves lost consciousness then Madelyn picked up a cell phone and pressed the green button which called the last person Eaves had called and that person called for help.

The Dos and Don'ts of Dealing With Your In-Laws
So you just got married and now you've got a whole second family.
Here's how to survive the transition and thrive long-term,
courtesy of psychotherapist Tina B. Tessina:
DO understand how your spouse relates to his or her parents.
DON'T assume that family relationship will resemble the one in
your family.
DO take the time to get to know your in-laws—if you're separated
by distance, write or e-mail each other.
DON'T take offense easily—you may just not understand the family
DO check with your partner about family customs. Will his
mother expect a hostess gift? A thank-you note? What do
they like to eat? What's their sense of humor like? Can you
talk about politics or religion in front of them?
DON'T criticize your partner's family. Rather, ask for explanations
of things you don't understand.
DO be polite and friendly—use your most charming ways around
your in-laws.
DON'T assume they understand how you feel—they may not have a
clue. Along those lines, don't take their comments and reactions
personally. You may not understand them as they were
DO think about what will work best for you and your partner
before you try to please your partner's family.
DON'T ignore your partner while you're with your family. You can
talk to your sister, but make sure you check in with each
other frequently.
DO consider doing something that's time-limited and easier. If
you go to dinner in a restaurant, everyone might be a bit
better behaved.
DON'T hesitate to ask your spouse how it went when it's over. A
"debriefing" can help both of you.

A Blanchard, Oklahoma, church was surprisingly left standing after three tornadoes ripped through the area with "golf ball sized" hail that leveled condos and displaced residents.
The onslaught of bad weather was a part of a series of some 20 tornadoes that romped through Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska Wednesday wreaking significant damage, according to The Weather Channel.
Despite the destruction left behind in Blanchard, residents say they were surprised the local Bridge Creek Church of Christ was still standing. more >>

An interfaith imperative that brings together over 30 leaders from major world religions, including the World Evangelical Alliance, has launched a call to action to end extreme poverty by 2030 and tackle issues such as climate change.
"What does it mean for the Church to understand that God loves all the world?" asked Christine MacMillan, WEA's director for public engagement, in a phone interview with The Christian Post on Friday.
"There are two questions that you cannot change the answer to for yourself, or anybody else: Who your parents are, and where were you born. And the answer to those questions for some people in this world is devastating. We need to acknowledge that we do not live on an equal plane on this Earth, and God gives us a challenge to create some form of equality by loving our neighbors as ourselves." more >>

Alf Bolin's Outlaw Loot
Somewhere in the Fox Creek Hills is supposed to be the buried treasure of
Alf Bolin, a
Missouri outlaw who operated in mid 1800s. Many years ago a man
came to a farm on Highway JJ south of Kirbyville in Taney County,
looking for the buried cache. He had been told by one of Alf Bolin's
gang, that Bolin had buried gold and silver from his many robberies near a
cave in the Fox Creek country. The cave is located in the vicinity
of Section 20, Township 22, Range 20 in Taney County,
about two miles southwest of the Old Mincy Store and Mill site. The
old man related to the farmer that the treasure was not buried in the cave
but according to the story, nearby, using the cave as a landmark.
It is highly probable that Bolin's loot is
buried in those hills. The activities of the Bolin gang centered
around "Murder Rocks" on Pine Mountain south of Kirbyville,
"Murder Rocks", also known as the "Alf Bolin Rocks," are located on
Highway JJ about 10 miles south of Forsyth,
the county seat of Taney County,
This is a rugged section of the Ozark Mountains in southwest
The present highway up the mountain is about 60 feet east of the old
road. The old road passed within a few feet of these great limestone
The great limestone rocks stood beside the
Springfield-Harrison Road near the top of the mountain. The outlaws
hid behind these rocks with a perfect view of the road to the north
and the south. Many travelers were held up and robbed here and several
others were murdered by the gang.
During the Civil War, Bolin, along with
his gang of about twenty men raided northern Arkansas and southwest
While all the able bodied men were off to war, the gang easily
terrorized the farms left with only old men, women and children to
defend them.
Though Union soldiers were sent to
capture the
outlaw, Bolin and his band were hard riders and good woodsmen and
the bandit eluded every attempt to capture him. Finally, the
soldiers devised a plan to trap him instead. Held captive by the
Union was a Southern soldier by the name of Foster who was from
Bolin's area. His wife, living near the Arkansas-Missouri
state line about three miles south of Murder Rocks, was approached by
the Union soldiers. If she would help to capture the outlaw, the
Union soldiers would release her husband. Though a dangerous plan for
Mrs. Foster, she agreed.
A union soldier by the name of Thomas,
pretending to be a sick Confederate soldier, stayed at the Foster home
for several days. As was Bolin's practice when he was in the
area, he often took his meals at the Foster home. Finally,
Bolin came to the house alone for his dinner and Thomas upstairs, made
a noise. When Bolin what it was, Mrs. Foster explained that he
was a poor Southern soldier making his way back home. Bolin
demanded that the man come down from the attic, threatening to kill
Appearing weak and hardly able to move about, Thomas joined the pair at
the dinner table. Still suspicious, Bolin laid his pistol on the
table as he ate his meal. However, as time passed the outlaw
apparently calmed down and when he turned his back to Thomas, the union
soldier struck Bolin with a fire poker. Though his death was not
immediate, Thomas continued to hit him until he was dead. It was
February 1, 1863. Bolin was 21 years old. When Bolin's body
was brought to Forsyth,
his head was cut off and taken to Ozark where it was placed on a pole. The entire area rejoiced at the death of Alf Bolin.
During his many raids along the main road from Harrison,
Arkansas to
Missouri, the
amassed a considerable fortune in gold, silver and other valuables. Obviously, he couldn't keep his ill gotten cache in a bank, so he buried
it somewhere near the cave on Fox Creek near the
and Arkansas
border. The exact location of the burial spot died with the outlaw,
the treasure remaining in the ground near the cave for more than a
Treasure in Cass County - On October 24, 1879
an article in the Cass County Times-Courier described the
location of a hidden Spanish treasure near Harrisonville,
Missouri. The text read:
"Before being
massacred by attacking
Indians in 1772, several hundred Spaniards buried 15 loads of gold
averaging 130 pounds each and 1,000 bars of silver weighing an average
of 20 pounds to the bar... in the area four or five miles west and one
or one and one-half miles north of Harrisonville. The silver was
buried within one-fourth of a mile of where the present day Rodman
School is standing; the gold is three fourths of a mile farther
More than fifty years
later, a construction crew was building a bridge in 1930. The
location was several miles southeast of the old Rodman School. During the excavation, the crew found evidence of a battle between the
Spanish and the Indians, locating old weapons, skeletons, and part of
old armor.
Harrisonville has
dramatically grown in the last several years, so locating the exact
location of the old Rodman School will, no doubt, require some
sleuthing skills.
Reader Update: I live in Cass county, just north of Harrisonville and a little east
of Peculiar,
We have always heard the legend of the Spanish gold and have been told
that it is on some land that we had when I was a child and I think mom
and dad still own. My sister, brothers and I are going to hunt
this weekend, weather permitting. There is an area that dad
could never get any grass or anything to grow on. We will look
there. Thanks for the research that backs the claims that we
have always heard. - Teresa, October, 2004
Reader Update: I've been researching the
"Harrisonville" legend and have found the "Rodham" school. I am
planning on a trek this weekend to the area. I was viewing some
of the maps online and found a topographic map and aerial photo of the
area, approximately a 1/4 mile from Rodham school. On the aerial
photo there appears to be a concentric ring that does not appear on
the topo. I am still trying to find other aerial photos of the is
area. See here:
Treasurenet. For some reason this "legend" kind of gets my blood
pumping. While the Spanish were in the area at the time, I would like
to see if I could find records from the Spanish missions in the area.
Perhaps they might hold more documentation of the massacre. I believe
Indian tribe was the Osage.
I can't say for sure but that seemed to ring a bell. Perhaps some of
the old Osage tribal leaders might have information about it. -

Weird Noise On My St24
starbuck007 posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubHey to all avid Ford fans, I seek some advice please regarding my recent purchase of a Mondy ST24. Quite often and gaining in frequency, a noise appears from the front of car. It varies in duration and when it there, it drowns the car it that noisy. My lovelly ST24 is drawing looks for the wrong reasons, lol. It appears not to be engine (revs) related and comes and goes. It does sound like the kinda noise you sometimes get from flushing a loo, that droaning kinda noise. The air con switch light always stays on and does not go out when pressed, not sure if that plays a part. Any one experienced this kinda noise? shed any light? I am not mechanically gifted of financially for that matter so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. John

ProFootballTalk: Watt can rock the mohawk
After fireworks accident, C.J. Wilson hopes to resume career in CFL
The Buccaneers waived cornerback C.J. Wilson from their reserve-retired list Wednesday, clearing the way for Wilson to resume his career in the Canadian Football League.
Wilson lost two fingers on his right hand in a fireworks accident last July 4. Per his hometown newspaper, the Lincoln Times-News in Lincolnton, N.C., Wilson left last weekend for Winnipeg. Wilson's agent confirmed Wednesday to the Tampa Bay Times that Wilson has signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
CFL teams are opening training camps this week. The regular season starts in late June.
Wilson, 26, played in two games with the Bears in 2013 as an undrafted rookie and two for the Bucs in 2014.
Jarvis Jones "motivated" by Steelers declining his option
Steelers outside linebacker Jarvis Jones has plenty to play for in 2016 after the team declined to pick up the fifth-year option on his contract, and Jones called that situation "motivation" to have his best season yet.
The Steelers waited until just before the early May deadline before declining the option on Jones, meaning 2016 will be the final year of his rookie contract.
Jones started 15 games in 2015 and had his most productive season, recording two sacks, a forced fumble and an interception. He has started 26 of 36 career games but has just five sacks in three seasons.
"Obviously I have to be more productive than I have been the past three years," Jones said, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I think everybody knows that, and I know that myself. Nothing's changed."
Jones can still play his way into the team's long-term plans, and the sides can still negotiate a long-term deal. What would be best for both sides is Jones playing well enough this season for the Steelers that both his original team and potential outside suitors are interested in his services.
"It's not about the money," he said. "I don't play the game for the money. I play the game because it's something I'm passionate about. If I do what I have to do, eventually I'll get the money. That's not what I'm worried about right now. I'm worried about playing football and being a football player."
Arian Foster says he "probably" needs another month to be back to where he was
He's still not yet 30, but people think he's washed up. They could be rethinking that position soon.
Free-agent running back Arian Foster, still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and still looking for a new job after being cut by the Texans, believes he's getting closer to a return to full strength.
"I probably need another month to get where I am, the person everyone is use to seeing," Foster told abc13.com in Houston. "I can definitely play, but I need another month to be where I want to be and be at that Pro Bowl level I can be at."
Can he get there? Foster's brother, Abdul, believes Arian can be "probably better."
Two years ago, Foster was pretty good, with 1,246 yards rushing and an average of 4.8 yards per carry. From 2011 through 2013, Foster had three straight 1,000-yard seasons, with a total of 4,264 rushing yards.
Despite his track record, Foster seems to be concerned that his personality could be an impediment to getting work.
"I am not one of those Captain America, 'Yes sir, no sir,' kind of cats, and a lot of that comes across as arrogance. But if anyone has spent any real time with me, they'll say I'm not arrogant," Foster said.
Most teams seem to have filled their needs at tailback, but injuries are inevitable. Someone will give Foster a chance, and there's a decent chance he'll still be pretty good, if not better.
Feeling "10 times better," Terrelle Pryor is ready to "beat up on some corners"
Reunited with his first NFL head coach but learning a new position, Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor has high hopes for 2016.
"[I'm] 10 times [better than last year]," Pryor said Wednesday, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I look at the film and it amazes me, and I give that to [receivers coach Al] Saunders, because just sitting there and doing the extra meeting time with him and him really breaking down certain routes to me and how he wants them run, it's awesome."
So what does Browns coach Hue Jackson's former quarterback in Oakland want to do?
"I just really want to go beat up on some corners," Pryor said. "Catch the ball over them, run past them, catch the ball, stiff-arm them, whatever, it doesn't matter. Every time I touch the field, practice, game, I'm going to bring high energy, high effort."
He also brings a high level of disagreement to the idea that he's making the transition from quarterback to receiver.
"I don't even call it a transition anymore," Pryor said in comments distributed by the team. "I feel like I'm there. I already transitioned. It's just now continuing to get better at my craft and try to be the best I can be and do the things every single day to be the best player — like Coach Al [Saunders] says in our meeting room to all the receivers – 'to be the best player you can be, better than the players in the room, player in the league, player in the division.' Obviously, there are great players around the league. There are great players in our room. It's not going to always be like that, but you've got to have that mindset that you want to be the best every single day. We go out there like brothers and we go out there and we help each other and make sure we work hard."
Pryor still has plenty of work to do to persuade the Browns and the rest of the league that he can become a receiver. Nearly five years after being drafted, however, he could finally be moving toward the rare feat of becoming a starter at both NFL quarterback and another position on offense.
Browns not giving up on Justin Gilbert
For two seasons, Browns cornerback Justin Gilbert has been a first-round bust overshadowed by a flashier, better-known first-round bust in his own locker room.
Now, Johnny Manziel and everyone who drafted and coached Manziel and Gilbert in their first two seasons are gone. And Gilbert still has a chance to become a contributor.
The Browns are thin at cornerback, and top cornerback Joe Haden is sitting out this spring while rehabbing an ankle injury. That means Gilbert is getting plenty of snaps as he tries to prove he belongs in the NFL.
"We weren't here and we don't know what went on the last two years," Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton told reporters Wednesday, per the team's official transcript. "All we know is what went on film and tape from today. Everybody has a clean slate, and you go out and work hard. Is [Gilbert] a work in progress? Yes. Is he carrying anything from four months ago? Not in my book he's not. He's just one of the players that we want to help us win a championship here."
The Browns drafted Gilbert with the No. 8 overall pick in 2014, 14 spots ahead of where they picked Manziel. And Gilbert's struggles on and off the field the last two seasons were overshadowed by Manziel's more public exploits.
Horton said the new Browns staff is treating Gilbert "fairly" but not differently and wants Gilbert to know he has a chance to turn his career around.
"He has a lot of God-given ability that was, as coaches, have to get out," Horton said.
Gilbert faced team discipline multiple times over his first two seasons, had multiple injury issues last season and was involved in a road rage incident last fall. Though he had an interception for a touchdown against Andrew Luck as a rookie, he never earned much significant playing time. Gilbert has played in 23 games over two seasons. He played in nine, starting one, last season.
On the field, Horton said the Browns have tinkered with Gilbert's "elongated" stance, and that Gilbert offered no resistance. Gilbert said the right things last offseason about growing up and learning from his mistakes, and maybe this year the fresh start inside the Browns' building will help him get his career on track.
Derek Wolfe says he doesn't regret skipping free agency
Perhaps no player since Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown capitalized on Super Bowl success in free agency the way Malik Jackson did.
But that also made the deal Jackson's former Broncos teammate signed before the playoffs look that much worse.
Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe said Wednesday he didn't regret the four-year, $36.75 million contract he signed in January, just before the Broncos won a title and Jackson hit the jackpot with a six-year, $90 million deal in Jacksonville. Had he waited for free agency, Wolfe would have certainly made more money, but he said he wouldn't have changed things.
"Absolutely not," Wolfe said. "I did what I felt what was right. I'm happy for Malik. He deserves it. I'm where I wanted to be.
"You can't put a price on happiness. I'm happy and that's all that really matters."
That kind of loyalty is admirable, at least until the Broncos decide they don't feel the same way. But Wolfe sounds like he's OK with that reality.
"I love the city, the fans," he said in comments distributed by the team. "The people here are great. I couldn't imagine playing in another city. I don't really want to ever have to play in another city. I'll probably just play here until I decided to just be done. That's my plan. . . .
"To me, I have to prove my worth, prove that I was worth that much money. I have to go out there and prove to the fans, to the team, to the organization, to my teammates and to everybody that I'm worth that much money. To me, it puts a little bit more pressure on me actually."
The real pressure might come when Wolfe is finished playing, since he'll have far less in the bank than Jackson will, with a 24.5 million difference in guarantees in their deals ($17.5 million for Wolfe, $42 million for Jackson).
Dez Bryant getting back to his old self
Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant isn't working in full at OTAs this week as the team continues to bring him along slowly after January foot and ankle surgeries, but he's catching passes and doing individual work while waiting for full clearance.
Bryant hopes to get that after another round of X-rays in the near future, but said Wednesday that even his limited workload leaves him feeling ahead of where he was while mired in a contract standoff with the Cowboys at this time last year. Bryant eventually signed a long-term deal, but a broken foot in the season opener set the tone for a disappointing season all around in Dallas.
The injuries have healed now, though, and Bryant said Tuesday that he feels like he's rounding into form bit by bit.
"I feel fine; I've been working out real good," Bryant said, via the team's website. "I'm getting back to my old self. … It feels good. I'm right on time. I actually feel a little ahead of the game. But I'm going to stay patient."
The Bryant of 2015 wasn't the one that earned that big contract and it isn't one that's going to help the Cowboys moving back in a positive direction this season. The same could be said of quarterback Tony Romo, leaving little doubt about the players that the team will be counting on to lead them back to the right side of .500.
Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Nick Mangold skipping Jets OTAs
Advantage Fitz.
With the Jets and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick willing to continue their relationship but unable to work out a new contract, a trio of Fitzpatrick's biggest supporters coincidentally have skipped the last two days of Organized Team Activities.
Per multiple reports, receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker and center Nick Mangold haven't shown up either of the last two days.
Via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, coach Todd Bowles downplayed the absences, pointing out that the workouts are voluntary.
Bowles said he doesn't think the players are making a statement by staying away. Common sense suggests otherwise. With the team unwilling to pay Fitzpatrick an amount similar to what other starters make, it's likely no accident that these three key members of the offense are choosing not to do something that most NFL players choose to do.
The development makes it even more important that the two sides get together as soon as possible, get in a room, lock the door, and work out a contract. Every days, parties engaged in acrimonious, hostile civil litigation submit to mediation sessions that result in a settlement of their claims. If two sides that hate each other can get in a room and resolve their differences, two sides that like each other surely can do the same.
If they don't do it soon, these two sides that like each other could quickly end up not liking each other.
UPDATE 5:25 p.m. ET: Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that Mangold's wife gave birth on Tuesday. This doesn't explain the absences of Marshall and Decker, obviously.
Chip Kelly back at it with up-tempo practicing in 49ers OTAs
The 49ers are getting a crash course in Chip Kelly during OTAs, learning in a hurry about the kind of pace he wants to keep.
According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, the 49ers ran 24 offensive plays during an eight-minute team period today.
That's an average of one snap every 20 seconds (#math).
If that sounds familiar, it should, as his first days with the Eagles were also about establishing his tempo, which is usually charming in the first days of any regime. Of course, when the results stopped showing his Eagles players quickly got tired of it (and tired).
Tackle Lane Johnson was among the loudest, saying keeping up such a pace from OTAs through the season left players exhausted by the end of the season.
If it works, the 49ers might be able to gain some kind of advantage on offense. But considering their quarterbacks are either Colin Kaepernick or Blaine Gabbert, it could also mean a lot of long days for their defense.
Jerome Cunningham claimed off waivers by Titans
The first time that tight end Jerome Cunningham was waived this offseason, he didn't have to move far to join his new team.
He'll get a few frequent flier miles the second time around, though. The Titans announced on Wednesday that they used their top spot on the league's waiver list to add Cunningham to their 90-man roster. Tennessee only had 89 players under contract so they didn't need to make a corresponding roster move.
Cunningham was waived by the Jets on Tuesday when they signed running back Romar Morris. He joined the team earlier this month after being dropped by the Giants, who he played nine games for during the 2015 season.
Cunningham joins Delanie Walker, Craig Stevens, Anthony Fasano, Phillip Supernaw and Alex Ellis at tight end in Tennessee.
Bengals sign fourth-rounder Billings
Fourth-round defensive tackle Andrew Billings has signed his rookie contract with the Bengals.
A first-team AP All-American last season at Baylor, the 311-pound Billings was also named the Big 12's co-Defensive Player of the Year. He should immediately see some snaps in the Bengals' talented defensive line rotation.
The signing of Billings leaves only first-round cornerback William Jackson III unsigned among the team's seven draft choices.
The Bengals also announced the signing of undrafted rookie fullback Andrew Bonnet, who signed with the Panthers after the draft and was released last week. To make room on the roster for Bonnet, kicker Jonathan Brown was waived-injured.
Geno Smith just trying to take advantage of his opportunity
Jets quarterback Geno Smith has heard teammates like Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall talk about their desire to see Ryan Fitzpatrick back with the team for the 2016 season, but says that he doesn't "really pay much attention to it" because he doesn't think they've said anything negative about him.
In fact, Marshall said recently that the Jets will "be OK" if Fitzpatrick doesn't return and Smith heads into the regular season as the starter. On Wednesday, Smith made it clear that his focus is on preparing himself for that possibility and not on watching to see if Fitzpatrick and the Jets bridge their gap and agree on a deal for this year.
"I believe that I do have an opportunity here, and I've just got to take advantage of it," Smith said, via NJ.com. "If anyone has watched football over the years, it's always been a process with quarterbacks. Every single quarterback has a different learning curve. Some come right in and blow it away. Some come in and struggle a little bit, and then they get it. For me, my confidence has always been there. I think the knowledge of the game, execution, having the game slow down for me, is something that will continue to grow."
With no other teams sniffing around Fitzpatrick and the quarterback saying this week that he'll be playing this season, it continues to look like he and the Jets will find their way back to one another. That will mean either a trip to the bench or the waiver wire for Smith, although there's not much reason for him to worry about crossing that bridge until the Jets put him at the edge of it.
Patriots take aim at Commissioner in new Brady case legal brief
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady continues to fight the NFL's effort to suspend him four games. The Patriots finally have gotten directly involved in the matter and, in so doing, have taken aim at the manner in which the Commissioner and the rest of the league office handled the case.
On Wednesday, the Patriots submitted a friend-of-the-court brief in connection with Brady's petition for a rehearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, calling the suspension of Brady a "highly manipulated and fundamentally unfair process designed and used by the Commissioner to reach and justify a predetermined outcome in violation of the" labor agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association.
Yes, the Patriots, one of the 32 members of the NFL, has argued in an eight-page court document that the NFL violated its duties and obligations under the CBA. While the team's position isn't surprising, it's nevertheless jarring to see such an open and official challenge to the league by one of its teams.
From the first sentence, the brief submitted by the Patriots cuts sharply against the league's interests, arguing that the controversy "presents an issue of exceptional importance [relating to] the extent to which settled precedent and fundamental fairness operate as a check on the broad authority of arbitrators," and that the existing ruling "threatens to undermine vital principles governing arbitration of collective bargaining agreements throughout the national economy." The NFLPA surely is thrilled by that observation, especially with a fresh round of full-scale labor talks less than five years away.
The brief points out that the Patriots "stand to lose their All-Pro quarterback for 25 % of the upcoming regular season based on a severely flawed process," and that "[u]nfairness has permeated the entire handling of this matter by the League." Again, it's not a shock that the Patriots believe this, but it's a big deal to see it reduced to writing and submitted to a federal appeals court.
The Patriots specifically argue that the Commissioner "treated Mr. Brady's appeal not as an appeal but as a continuation of the investigation," which resulted in "new findings" that "shifted the basis for his discipline of Mr. Brady in a decision from which Mr. Brady then had no appeal rights." At footnote 2 to the brief, the Patriots allege that "the League's conduct reflects less a search for the truth than pursuit of a pre-determined result," and points out that the NFL "leaked materially incorrect PSI information and refused to correct it for months, allowing public misperceptions to fester."
That's a direct reference to the ESPN report that 11 of 12 footballs were measured at 2.0 pounds under the minimum PSI level of 12.5, which the Patriots (and anyone else paying attention) came directly from league employees. The Ted Wells report, issued roughly three months later, demonstrated the gross inaccuracy of the ESPN report.
The Patriots also focus on the Commissioner's refusal to give Brady access to notes of interviews with league officials who observed the testing of the footballs during halftime of the January 2015 AFC title game and the flawed science of the Wells Report. The Patriots explain that, without the interview notes, it was impossible for Brady to test the assumptions that were made regarding the critical issue of the timing of the PSI measurements during halftime.
"That left Mr. Brady unable to challenge the fundamental premise of the Wells Report," the Patriots contend, "that science alone does not explain the PSI of the Patriots footballs."
Elsewhere in the brief, the Patriots claim that the Commissioner "misstated" evidence regarding Brady's explanation of his interactions with team employee John Jastremski on the key question of Brady's credibility as a witness. The Commissioner had said that Brady claimed he spoke to Jastremski only about preparation of footballs for Super Bowl XLIX, which in the Commissioner's view made Brady's testimony not believable. However, the transcript shows that Brady testified he spoke to Jastremski about both the preparation of footballs and the then-new allegations of potential tampering with footballs. The not-so-subtle point is that the Patriots are directly attacking the credibility of the Commissioner's attack on Brady's credibility.
Finally, the Patriots challenge the Commissioner's decision that Brady's "non-retention of his cell phone was evidence of guilt without acknowledging that" investigators already had said they didn't want to take possession of the phone or remove information from it, that Brady supplied the NFL with a full list of persons with whom calls and texts were exchanged, and that the league already had the phones of the two alleged culprits in the tampering scheme, Jastremski and Jim McNally.
The Patriots conclude by arguing that the pending decision of the Second Circuit "endorsed the outcome of a highly manipulated and fundamentally unfair process designed and used by the Commissioner to reach and justify a predetermined outcome in violation of the CBA and this Court's precedents," that the ruling "renders meaningless the vital protections afforded by a bargained-for right to appeal and to obtain and present pertinent evidence," and that "[i]ts impacts will be felt far beyond the NFL."
Whether the impact of the Patriots' aggressive maneuver will be felt beyond the confines of this specific case remains to be seen. Regardless, the Patriots — who opted not to pursue an appeal of their own penalties arising from the deflation allegations in the hopes that Brady would be shown lenience — have finally done what their fans have wanted them to do for months.
In an official legal document, the Patriots have pointed a finger directly at the behavior and agenda of the Commissioner and his inner circle.
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu's doctor calls his knee "perfectly fine"
Few college football players have suffered an injury as devastating to their NFL prospects as former Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, who was viewed as a first-round prospect before blowing out his knee in December of 2014 and ultimately fell all the way to the seventh round. Ekpre-Olomu hasn't played in an NFL game yet, but he says he's now been given a clean bill of health.
Ekpre-Olomu told the Miami Herald that his doctor "said I'm perfectly fine."
The Browns waived Ekpre-Olomu this offseason, suggesting that the new regime in Cleveland doesn't believe his knee is ever going to be perfectly fine. But he was claimed by the Dolphins on waivers and says he's happy where he is.
"It was something with new management; they wanted to go in a different direction," Ekpre-Olomu said of the Browns. "And I guess I wasn't in that direction. I'm happy I'm here."
If Ekpre-Olomu ever returns to the form that he showed at Oregon, the Dolphins will be happy to have him in Miami, too.
Broncos sign second-round pick Adam Gotsis
The Broncos are down to one unsigned draft pick.
Second-round defensive tackle Adam Gotsis agreed to a four-year deal with the team on Wednesday, leaving quarterback Paxton Lynch as the only one of the team's eight picks without a contract. Gotsis was born in Australia and became the highest drafted Australian in league history when the Broncos tabbed him with the 63rd overall pick.
Gotsis will be in the mix of players vying for playing time up front on defense after the departure of Malik Jackson as a free agent this offseason. His attempt to nail down that playing time will be delayed until training camp as Gotsis is going to be on the sideline until training camp as a result of a torn ACL he suffered while at Georgia Tech last year.
Jared Crick, Vance Walker and Kenny Anunike will be Gotsis' chief competition for playing time once he's fully recovered.

There are just over 24 hours to go in the transfer window, and the good news is that there have been no new bids yet for Yohan Cabaye, but the bad news is that we haven't signed anybody either, and there's also precious little news that we are honing in on anybody.
Bafe Gomis – not coming to Newcastle
But as far as Arsenal are concerned, they have lodged a bid of €50M (42.5M) for Real Madrid's German star Mesut Ozil, and are said to be in advanced negotiations, and if that deal goes through it would be an Arsenal record for an incoming transfer, and the Gunners are also after Palermo goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.
With Gareth Bale also finally arriving at Real Madrid for €100M – does that mean Bale is twice the player that Ozil is – we don't think so.
But there is no new news tonight that Arsenal are even preparing another bid for Yohan Cabaye, apart from early morning news in the Star that the Gunners were ready to bid £15M – which we didn't believe.
Liverpool have shown us how to do it, and they have announced they will be signing PSG defender Mamadou Sakho, who was a long term Newcastle prospect, Sporting Lisbon center-back Tiago Ilori and Chelsea striker Victor Moses on loan for the season, and all three could be seen at the game today when Liverpool beat Manchester United 1-0 at Anfield.
Why couldn't we have gone after Victor Moses?
And it looks like the Reds will also sign former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given as a back up goalkeeper before the window closes, but Shay may only be changing which bench he sits on next season.
So what are Newcastle doing on the transfer front – not much – as Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas has said Bafe Gomis would not be moving to Newcastle, and he's likely to remain at Lyon for the last year of his five year deal, before becoming a free agent next summer.
But Newcastle, always on the lookout to save money – and too much so – may move for the player in the January transfer window, when he could be half the price he is today – but of course we need him right now.
Everton have also had a bid rejected for potential Newcastle target – Wigan midfielder James McCarthy.
If Newcastle don't sign anybody in the next 24 hours, it's a very good question as to what Joe Kinnear has been up to since the middle of June.
Not much would seem to be a good answer.

Eliana Gil, Ph.D. has worked in the field of child abuse and prevention since 1973. She is a prolific author, most recently Helping Abused and Traumatized Children: Integrating Directive and Non-Directive Approaches (2011).
"I cannot say enough about Theraplay. You have to experience it. You have to watch what happens to your clients when applied carefully and purposefully.
As an integrated clinician, I am eternally grateful for this wonderful technique, deceptively simple, amazingly accessible, and tested over decades with thousands of parent-child dyads. Its application is without bounds, and my purpose here is to encourage clinicians to think about Theraplay as a therapy of choice for trauma and its subsequent clinical issues."
Donaldson Adoption Institute considers Theraplay an Adoption Competent Specialized Treatment.
The Donaldson Adoption Institute's mission is to better the lives of everyone touched by adoption through sound research, education and advocacy that improves laws, policies and practices.
Douglas Goldsmith, Ph.D. is the Executive Director of The Children's Center, a private not for profit agency serving the mental health needs of families with children under the age of 8 years.

Dec 11 2008Wrong, Just Plain Wrong: The TwoDaLoo
The TwoDaLoo is a toilet made for two. Just the thought of it disgusts me.
The TwoDaLoo is billed as the world's first toilet two people can use ... at the exact same time. It brings couples closer together and conserves our water supply all with one flush. The TwoDaLoo features two side-by-side toilet seats with a modest privacy wall in between. An upgraded version includes a seven inch LCD television and iPod docking station.
Oh yeah, because a "modest privacy wall" makes it all okay. WTF! Available now for wholesale, the units cost $1,400 apiece and the minimum order is 12. So yeah, you ever shit out in the open with 23 other people before? *sniffle* God, I miss college.
Thanks Tali, like they say: a family that shits together, uh, starts to look at each other differently.

pretty sure than was an SNL commercial skit in the mid 90s...
yeah it was!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max used the transporter while there was magnetic interference and became 2 differentr Max's. One who was nice, and one who was mean. Baja figured out a way to put Max back together, but Max found out he wasn't complete with his angry, more primitive half.
Mike - Ding! Ding! Ding!
This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong !!!
I'm sure it was designed by a guy who don't have any hobbies
FAKE!! Total Photoshop job. The privacy wall is all wrong with the shadows and texture.
This looks exactly like a scene from an old SNL skit where guest star Kevan Costner was a guest on Jeopardy with Will Ferrel. Darryl Hammond playing Sean Connery chose Famous Titties for $500. Needless to say, it all ended up with Sean Connery telling Alex Trebek to "suck it" and that his "mother's a whore".
Basic Photoshop filters could have made this look more realistic.
Wrong, on so many levels, I don't even know where to start...
Courtesy flush becomes absolutely essential here
Yes. I'm going to get married to girl who will shit with me in the morning, and have long conversations with me after a chili dinner. A girl who doens't mind the smell of my previous meals, and who will listen to me talk, even though the gas I pass is enough to render an elephant useless.
Nothing like an early morning PEW with your one and only.
Yeah this was a SNL commercial skit. It was called 'The Love Toilet' .....pretty funny.
when i was a kid shitters in our school did not have walls between them. but thats just because someone broke em off. probably our gym teacher. he got arrested on child molesting charges at some point.
Thanks to Daisy for taking a lame posting (no love lost GW) and making the comments worth reading. I too, do not feel complete with my angry primitive half.
@4. I think it is fake too. But I've seen Never Back Down before and I don't know what scene you are talking about. I don't even think there was even a scene with toilets in it. It sounds like your describing a different movie. It even sounds like your posting for something else, not this toidy for two.
You are confusing.
Does anyone else smell that? Fresh Noob.
"Trolled" keeps responding to Daisy's comments like he is new to the thread, and all you veteran threaders keep calling him a "Noob," cause you aren't paying a damn bit of attention.
Congrats, your comment has failed. Points for trying though.
Daisy... you suck anyway.
17. shhhhhhh, this is funny!!!
@15 - Never Back Down is a movie? I thought Daisy made that up.
"I thought this was for Siamese twins...My Bad...ROFL."
"Home value just dropped to: FREE"
Finally, I can take a dump and my dog can get a drink at the same time!
The Love Toilet - Victoria Jackson & Kevin Nealon share the most intimate moment of them all... The commercial featured a single-based toilet with two seats placed so that the seated users faced each other. "Because when you're in love, even five minutes apart can seem like an eternity." In late 2007, an actual model called the "TwoDaLoo" was made available for sale
This makes me want to dock my iPod shit with my whole family. When does the ThreedaLoo come out?
Next up: The side-by-side dual enema.
Too late on the dual enema. Come to my place on Saturday, let's make it threenema?
This was on SNL like 10 years ago.
there's a post on best of craigslist about this... just sayin
This would be helpful in families with a lot of kids. Growing up with 7 brothers and sisters, some of us would share the seat on occasion (when we had very little butts, that is). When you gotta go, you gotta go! I guess the modern home has more than one bathroom though, and for the boys there's always the backyard!
Yo dawg, we heard you like taking a shit so we put a toliet in your toliet so you can shit while you shit!
Awww! So cute! The perfect wedding gift for a classy couple.
LOVE IS...using the same piece of toilet paper.
dualing at its brownest
7 inch screen and i-pod docking station?
Jesus I could live in this thing
it ruined my marriage!
To those saying it's fake - this is a computer generated image of the product, it's not a photo of the actual product. How often do you see toilets floating in white space with shadow feathering around their edges in real life?

They will in 2013 though. Sounds like they're thinking ahead.
I forgot about that aspect. I am on the fence right now since t-mo refuses to get their own signature phone like the EVO. I would have jumped on the One S if it had these specs - in a heartbeat. I am going to give HTC until Christmas to see if they smarten up and do away with the crappy embedded memory and battery. If not I might just have to get over my plastic bias and see how the developer community goes crazy with this thing. It should be good times for all rooted users across the board with the variety that should be available.
Does this phone have a FM tuner, not a software one, but a hardware one?

Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix
Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix is an acellular reconstructive tissue matrix designed to support tissue regeneration. It is derived from porcine dermis, which undergoes non-damaging proprietary processing that removes cells and significantly reduces the key component believed to play a major role in the xenogeneic rejection response.
Strattice™ Tissue Matrix allows for early white cell migration, cell repopulation and rapid revascularization, which have been shown in animal studies*,1, which may lead to increased resistance to infection at the surgical site1.
Its benefits include:
Abdominal wall reconstruction
- Provides support to the primary suture repair
- Provides for a strong repair supported by its excellent biomechanical strength**
- Supports rapid revascularization, cell repopulation and white cell migration, as shown in a primate model1
*Correlation of these results to results in humans is not established.
**Data on file (Benchtop test data)
- Connor J et al. Retention of structural and biochemical integrity in a biological mesh supports tissue remodeling in a primate abdominal wall model. Regenerative Medicine; 2009 Mar;4(2):185-95.
- Burns, N, et al. Comparison of cross-linked vs non-cross-linked porcine acellular dermal matrices for ventral hernia repair. J Am Coll Surg. 2010 Sep;211(3):368-76
Before use, physicians should review all risk information and essential prescribing information which can be found in the Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix.

Oklahoma State baseball: Walk-off walk gives Cowboys win over Missouri State
Randy McCurry drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Oklahoma State baseball a 5-4 win over Missouri State on Tuesday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium in Stillwater.
OSU trailed 4-2 going into the bottom of the eighth inning, but loaded the bases with no outs following two walks and a single. The Cowboys then tied the score on consecutive sacrifice flies by pinch hitter Aaron Cornell and center fielder Jarrett Higgins.
McCurry, who started the game at shortstop, moved to the pitcher's mound in the 10th inning and induced a pair of ground ball outs to get out of a jam.
Then, with one out and the bases loaded, McCurry drew a walk to drive in the winning run.
"This team never lets the score dictate their spirit or their effort," said OSU coach Josh Holliday. "They've learned if they play all nine innings, sometimes 10 or 14, with a high level of concentration, that you're never out of a game."
OSU returns to action at 6:30 p.m. Friday in Stillwater with the opener of a three-game series against Loyola Marymount.

Oak Creek - Police are seeking two men who stole pull tabs from machines, then cashed them in for money at local gas stations last week.
According to the Oak Creek police log:
Two men began playing the pull-tab machine at Mobil Gas, 9510 S. 27th St., about 4:45 p.m. Dec. 8. They continued to play the machine for about two hours, according to the station manager, and cashed in their winning pull tabs for $725.
The theft went unnoticed until the next day, when a gas station employee told the manager he thought it was strange when he found the machine was completely out of pull tabs and no money had been deposited into the machine.
According to the manager, the men apparently used some kind of device or fraudulent bill to obtain the pull tabs without payment being deposited into the machine. The men apparently emptied the machine of 929 pull-tabs, valued at $1 each, adding up to a total loss of $1,654 to Mobil Gas.
The men are described as two heavy-set men with goatees and Southern accents. One appeared to be in his mid-40s and was wearing a black Carhart sweatshirt, jeans and a white baseball cap, and the other was wearing a red T-shirt, dark-colored shorts and a baseball cap. The men were last seen in an older model, four-door maroon vehicle, possibly a Cadillac, with no front license plate.
On Dec. 11, police received a report of two men stealing pull-tabs at Shell Gas, 2170 W. Ryan Road. The station manager told police that two men came into the store about 7:15 p.m. Dec. 9, played the pull tab machine and cashed in $19 worth of winning tickets. The theft was discovered two days later when employees found no money had been deposited into the machine and 102 tickets were missing, adding up to total loss of $121 to Shell.
The suspect and vehicle descriptions were the same in both incidents. The Greenfield Police Department also reported a similar incident with suspects fitting the same description.
An investigation is ongoing.

International telecommunications is an issue-area in which multilateral cooperation is very deeply institutionalized. Long before governments recognized a need to establish international mechanisms to manage global problems like trade, human rights or the environment, they saw that nation-states could only benefit from the possibilities of international telecommunications if there were shared rules of the game governing how national networks would interconnect and messages would be passed from one to the next. In consequence, the international telecommunications regime is the oldest multilateral regime in the world, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)-which has historically been the central forum for its negotiation-is the oldest intergovernmental organization in the world.
The telecommunications regime comprises the principles, norms, rules and decision-making procedures that governments have agreed to govern the organization of international networks and services. 1 This chapter explores its historical development, transformation, and contemporary decay For 135 years, governments have cooperated in the ITU and its predecessor, the International Telegraph Union, to maintain a regime based on the overarching principles of national sovereignty, network interconnection and joint service provisioning. This framework allowed national carriers to slowly evolve a global network of national networks while protecting themselves from competitive market forces.
In the post-World War II era, the progressive internationalization of pressures unleashed by the United States' information control revolution fundamentally redefined the policy environment. In particular, new technological opportunities created by the merging of telecommunications, computing and microelectronics provided large corporations-especially users of systems and services-with new incentives to put pressure on governments for market liberalization at both the national and multilateral levels. In parallel, the slow but steady spread of new ideas about the role of telecommunications in an information-based economy and its optimal governance encouraged governments, first in the industrialized world and later in the developing world, to rethink the case for liberalization in a more accommodating light.
