Joe Pesci, Christian Slater
This unfocused, self-important comedy is the least amusing film by the usually astute director Barry Levinson.
Pesci plays a failing Hollywood actor desperate enough to buy ad space on a bus stop bench to promote his nonexistent career. He continually whines about what a "strong" actor he is and how nobody appreciates him. Slater has a role to suit his phlegmatic, ironic style as Pesci's dimwit buddy.
The plot is triggered when Pesci's car radio is stolen. To catch the culprit he hides on the street so he can videotape the thief committing another crime, then send the tape to the police. When he does track down the crook, the event becomes a media sensation, and Pesci issues a statement pretending to be the head of a vigilante movement. As the fiction runs away from (and with) him, Pesci comes to see the situation as a performance. Levinson treats Pesci's notoriety as a serious redemption, as if his career failure had to do with anything other than his lack of talent and luck.
The director, discussing the movie in production notes supplied to the media, demonstrates a stretch to impress Plastic Man: "Ultimately, the mythology of Hollywood also pertains to our country, to every troubled city where many dreams have died." A similar tone of sobriety afflicts most of Jimmy Hollywood. (PG-13)

MONTGOMERY - Trinity Medical Center has won another round in the continuing fight over its plans to move in to the unfinished HealthSouth hospital on U.S. 280, with a state panel re-affirming its approval of the project. Attorneys representing its opponents said they would appeal to the courts.
The state's Certificate of Need Review Board voted 4-1 to reject requests filed by Brookwood Medical Center and St. Vincent's Medical Center to reconsider the project, which it approved last month. Brookwood and St. Vincent's stand to lose tens of millions of dollars in business to the new Trinity hospital.
James Williams, an attorney representing Brookwood, said that hospital will appeal to circuit court. Brookwood and St. Vincent's have 30 days to appeal.
St. Vincent's was singled out by angry board members for alleging in a filing made last week that Trinity may have improperly tried to influence members of the board.
"I resent that," said Dr. Michael Drummond, a member of the board, said to St. Vincent's attorneys. "Shame on you. Shame on St. Vincent's."
Keith Granger, chief executive officer of Trinity, said plans to resume construction on the U.S. 280 hospital would remain on hold while the hospital awaits the Brookwood suit.

Talk:Wikinews interviews John Wolfe, Democratic Party presidential challenger to Barack Obama
From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!
Reporter's notes[edit]
Interview conducted by phone. Correspondence with Mr. Wolfe sent to scoop.--William S. Saturn (talk) 09:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Phrasing queries[edit]
Are the following passages correctly transcribed? --Pi zero (talk) 12:25, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
- He wants to actually to increase military spending by 20 percent.
- So the corporation is incentive.
- His whole life has been one where he reaches consensus and gets wide.
Some of the background in the intro, I haven't found in the cited sources.
- I didn't find statements that Wolfe had been on the ballot in Missouri or Oklahoma. Looking more deeply, in sources cited by articles listed here in Related news, of Darcy Richardson suspends Democratic Party presidential campaign, I found
- "Oklahoma Democrat" — The Green Papers, (date of access)
- "Missouri Democrat" — The Green Papers, (date of access)
- But these indicate that of the two, he was on the ballot only in Missouri, not in Oklahoma. Actually, On the campaign trail, March 2012 says he wasn't on the ballot in Oklahoma.
- I also had a bit of trouble verifying unambiguously that he was the only challenger in Arkansas; I did a sanity check on that with The Green Papers, but don't feel any need to list it under article Sources.
- (Ah, I see that one's mentioned in one of the interview questions.)
- I'm almost completely failing to verify the key background sentence at the start of the fourth paragraph (starting with his being a lifelong Democrat). One more thing to try, and then failing that I'll pull almost all of the sentence (ouch), and publish.

All you need is a USB to (mini-)IDE adapter (and a hard drive). If you
can find a notebook HD big enough, they're easier to deal with and you
can power the drive directly from a USB jack. There shouldn't be any

Don't Procrastinate, Schedule a Mammogram
From the
"I don't have time", "I have no breast problems, so mammography isn't necessary", "My doctor never recommended I get one", "It's painful and the facility is too far away". "It's expensive".
If these are some of the excuses you have for not scheduling a mammogram and you are a female over forty, pick up the phone and schedule an appointment. It could save your life. All GIC health plans recognize the importance of mammograms (a x-ray picture of the breast). All plans cover annual mammograms for women over forty.
Women age 65 and older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women do (less than 55% have had a mammogram in the last two years) even though breast cancer risk increases with age. Breast cancer is the leading cancer diagnosed in American women: this year 180,000 women in the United State will learn that they have breast cancer and more than 40,000 women will lose their lives from it. When breast cancer is detected early and treated promptly, suffering and loss of life can be significantly reduced.
Routine screening mammography is the single most effective method to detect breast changes that may be cancer, long before physical symptoms can be seen or felt. Visit the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) website for more information about mammograms and National Mammography Day, which is in October.

screw ebay as a seller e-bay always takes my money without me even getting to explian my side they say they want to create a postive buyers experience for there buyers but to hell with the sellers what i have started to do is pay on my account balance a little everyday some days as little as 50 cents if all sellers would stert to do this maybe they would get a clue pay a small part of your seller fees every day but not to much overwhelm there systems maybe they will get the hint when it starts to cost them to procces millions of small payments pass the word what can it hurt post this idea where ever you can maybe things will change for the better and e-bay will remeber who built them the small collecters and traders are the ones who built them into a multi billion dollar company.
"Based on his CLAIMS?" Based on your so what comment one would ignore your story in total. You have no proof the item in question arrived in working order. I am also assuming that you didn't mention the scratches either.
Either would have lost you a SNAD claim. You didn't read the rules. Some sellers are great at blaming everyone but themselves.
All things considered, a partial was probably in your best interest due to lack of disclosure.

"No returns or exchanges, but item is covered by eBay Buyer Protection."
Read it more carefully next time, what the CSR forgot to tell you is that Buyer Protection will trump over the return policy on the listing.
It's there to stop sellers from misusing 'no returns' and treating it like 'no refunds', I think.

Instead of offering partial refund so abruptly, you could have came to the forum sooner for help, you'll find that a lot of the members will suggest that you don't offer partial refund and insist on full refund upon return.
What does that mean? It means the buyer cannot get refund unless he/she wins the SNAD claim plus returning the item to you using delivery confirmation (or was it tracking number?).
I was totally unaware of how easily a buyer can file a dispute. If I had been directed to a screen informing me of the buyer protection program before being allowed to list an item, I might have chosen not to auction off a bundle of used Wii items, and I could have avoided a lot of stress. I wish the protection plan had been made clear to me before listing my item.
The shock at seeing my paypal account NEGATIVE $185 because I had already used the money on a bill... it was unexpected and gave me a lot of anxiety. I was totally mistreated by this buyer and forced into providing a partial refund that I don't think was fair AT ALL. The buyer claimed that certain items did not work, which I personally tested before shipping. Yes, a few of the 26 games in the lot were scratched. So what? They were listed as USED. Yet, he said he would take pictures of the scratches and report that the charger included in the bundle did not work. I feel he was lying about that. It worked before it left my house and got shipped! Yet, what were my options? If I refused him a partial refund, the case would be escalated to the Ebay team, who might decide that the buyer deserved a full refund... based on what? Based on his CLAIMS? And then what? He would box my items back up (most likely not taking care to securely package them), send my items back after he had used them, and receive a full refund... and I would take a loss on the shipping costs AND a loss on the time it took to sell this item?
I only provided a partial refund out of fear that this would not turn out in my favor, due to 3 out of the 26 games in the bundle being scratched and his CLAIM that the remote control charger did not work. I sold all of my childrens' Wii games, the console, the balance board, a charger, remotes, nun chucks, 2 steering wheels, and a ton of accessories at a very fair price, and just because the buyer decided to complain, I felt as though I was backed into a corner and forced to provide a partial refund, or risk dealing with a full return. I would never have parted with my childrens' Wii bundle for as cheap as I ended up doing after the refund. I was not aware that buyers could file a complaint with little to no proof of their claims, and I will not be doing any more buying or selling on Ebay. I will be telling my family, friends, and co-workers about this experience and urging them to stay away from Ebay as well. It's a shame. I have used Ebay for over a decade, both on my own account and my husband's account. I even encouraged my father to set up an account and helped him do it, and he buys an average of 5 items a month on here. But not anymore. This experience has totally driven us away. Thanks for nothing, Ebay.

David Moulsdale has always had an eye for a deal, having built Optical Express from a single store in Kirkgate Centre, Leith, into one of Britain's largest chains of opticians by scooping up larger players.
His latest move, however, has been one of necessity. He has acquired the entire debt owed by Optical Express to Royal Bank of Scotland to avert the prospect of the struggling optical empire sliding out of his control. The chain owed RBS more than £30 million and a request for a further loan to pay its workers was met with a threat to sell off

The Cambridge Companion to the Sonnetby Peter Howarth A. D. Cousins
"Beginning with the early masters of the sonnet form, Dante and Petrarch, the Companion examines the reinvention of the sonnet across times and cultures, from Europe to America. In doing so, it considers sonnets as diverse as those by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, George Herbert and e. e. cummings. The chapters explore how we think of the sonnet as a 'lyric' and what is involved in actually trying to write one. The book includes a lively discussion between three distinguished contemporary poets - Paul Muldoon, Jeff Hilson and Meg Tyler - on the experience of writing a sonnet, and a chapter which traces the sonnet's diffusion across manuscript, print, screen and the internet. A fresh and authoritative overview of this major poetic form, the Companion expertly guides the reader through the sonnet's history and development into the global multimedia phenomenon it is today"--
The Cambridge Introduction to Modernist Poetryby Peter Howarth
Modernist poems are some of the twentieth-century's major cultural achievements, but they are also hard work to read. This wide-ranging introduction takes readers through modernism's most famous poems and some of its forgotten highlights to show why modernists thought difficulty and disorientation essential for poetry in the modern world. In-depth chapters on Pound, Eliot, Yeats and the American modernists outline how formal experiments take on the new world of mass media, democracies, total war and changing religious belief. Chapters on the avant-gardes and later modernism examine how their styles shift as they try to re-make the community of readers. Howarth explains in a clear and enjoyable way how to approach the forms, politics and cultural strategies of modernist poetry in English.

Carson beats Nana in all games. Headline by Carson.
I wish it were a metaphor, the opening sentence of an angst-ridden novel that would deliver royalty checks directly to a palazzo on the Amalfi Coast.
But it's not. "Stay Alive," a board game designed by Gordon Barlow and Marvin Glass, is a toy I'd never heard of until yesterday: twenty marbles on a grid of holes. Plastic sliders control whether or not there is a sudden abyss beneath an ill-fated marble.
"Oh! You're playing my favorite game!" my daughter-in-law said, poking her head in the boys' bedroom door on her way to unpaid-wife-labor in the family restaurant, American Burrito. "You can't even buy it anymore. I found it on e-Bay."
Although she's the same height as I am, she was towering over me. Carson, home from second grade with slight temperature and a sore throat, had set the game up on a thin, New-York-Yankee-themed throw rug on the hardwood floor. He was sitting like a Zen master. I was sprawled on hips and elbows, shifting my position every few seconds.
Carson took his turns and my marbles, the red and blue ones, fell into dark space. His yellow and black marbles -- "I'm the bumblebee!" -- stayed on the board. "You're not in the safety zone, Nana," he said, and I said, "Could we move this to the dining room table?"
At the table, many "Stay Alive" blowouts later, Carson suggested we play a card game modeled on the concept of "Concentration": turn all the cards over and try to remember where the matches are. The theme was dinosaurs, twenty or so varieties with predictably unpronounceable names. (The evening before, we had reviewed Carson's spelling words for the week; I couldn't help but notice the difference in what educators believe are appropriate challenges: "through," "broad," "tried," etc., and what children are willing to tackle when monsters, fierce competition, and a dim Nana are involved: "anklyosaurus," "ceratopsia," "pachycephalosaurus"...)
I quickly found a few paired dinosaurs -- sitting at a table, cup of Tazo chai, no spatial intelligence required, this game was going well.
Then, I noticed Carson was not putting the cards back in order when he didn't find a match. He was putting them in new places.
"Wait a minute! You're wrecking the pattern. The human memory depends on patterning, not chaos --"
"What is chaos?"
"Lack of a pattern. Change that your brain can't make sense of. Random change. Are you getting any of this?"
"It's more fun this way, and it will take a long time."
"It will take forever because now it's nonsense, pure luck, no memory involved, and it's much, much harder."
This stopped him. He looked at me coldly.
"Of course, it's harder, Nana. It's supposed to be hard. That's what games are for."
It's early morning now, and in an hour or so, I'll learn if the fever has subsided enough for the gladiator to return to the arena of elementary school, where everyone sits cross-legged on the floor and learns how to make sense of a world in chaos.
I will stay home and make tiny marks on the backs of the dinosaur cards.

When we last checked in on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder's girlfriends (or lack thereof), we had last seen him with attractive young lass Kacie McDonnell. The two of them were quite the hot toddy (is that what the kids say?) during college, but has since gone their separate ways. Since coming to Minnesota, Ponder has been living the bachelor life, frequently saying that his girlfriend right now is football, albeit a painful girlfriend. But he's apparently been working on an alternative.
Well, now it looks like he may have found that alternate option. According to the celeb-uslut troops at Busted Coverage, everyone's favorite shirtless quarterback has been sending suspicious tweets that make it look like there may be something of special interest starting between him and ESPN anchor Samantha Steele. Busted Coverage lays the evidence out on their site, but I "borrowed" the most telling screen capped Tweet and left it for you after the jump. With additional "pictures" of course:
IT'S TOTALLY LEGIT YOU GUYS, HE WANTS TO BONE! But who can blame him. I mean look at her:
GTFO, Erin Andrews. You're Fox trash now. My captain, my quarterback, has committed himself to only ONE sexy blonde reporter, and it shall be Samantha Steele, even if they're just playing around.
However, IF this is true, Christian Ponder once again just demolishes the NFC North girlfriend/wife competition. Look at Samantha Steele and what she has to offer. ESPN personality, super white teeth, blue pants, the whole package. She could probably get us close enough to Chris Berman to pee in his coffee, too.
The rest of the NFC North? Well, Aaron Rodgers loves dudes, Jay Cutler has a baby momma now who is old and busted, and MC Stafford still has (as far as I know) that immature teenage blonde with the fake knockers. I think they're fake. If they're real, this may be a game changer, but I doubt it.
Regardless, Ponder continues to be the best quarterback in the NFC North, and I don't just mean on the field! He's scoring big off of it, too. ZING! SEX JOKES!

Linus Torvalds: Kernel 2.6.25-rc1 "Bloody Large"
Linus Torvalds has announced the first release candidate of the new 2.6.25 kernel, codenamed "Bloody Large".
There is a reason for this name: according to Torvalds the kernel includes various new features and wide-ranging changes to basic functionality. The modifications affect some 1.4 million lines of code, and the diff file weighs in at 11MB. According to Torvald's research most changes affect architecture and drivers.
In his mail to the kernel mailing list Torvalds explains the extent of the modifications with the backlog of work that built up during the kernel 2.6.24 phase, and which is now filtering through to the new version. An detailed changelog is available; the patch is available from Kernel.org.
To be more specifc, the graphic's drivers for Intel cards now have native support for suspend and resume – with or without X support. This change will help many laptop users, including Torvalds himself as he remarked. Device access order in general suspend/resume cases has also been changed. The modifications also affect users who do not have Intel graphics adapters. After merging the 32 bit and 64 bit architecture branches there was some cleaning up to complete. Additionally, kernel 2.6.25-rc1 includes changes to legacy IDENTITY drivers, and new drivers for Intel e1000 network cards that use the PCI Express port.

Hard-pressed savers are ditching deposit accounts paying rock-bottom interest rates and moving up the risk scale in search of higher yields.
Hargreaves Lansdown, the wealth manager, reports that three times as many investors transferred money from their cash Isas to stocks and shares Isas this October compared with last October.
This reflects a growing appetite among savers for higher yields, as the European Central Bank this week became the latest to cut its lending rate — from 0.5 per cent to an even lower 0.25 per cent. However, cautious investors should remember that stock market investment comes with a considerably higher

1. Oakland- JaMarcus Russell, QB LSU
Even though WR Calvin Johnson is widely regarded as the best player in the Draft, I just can't see Al Davis passing on Russell. He has too much talent to ignore at a position more crucial to success than any other in professional sports.
2. Tampa Bay (from Detroit)- Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech
*Tampa trades the 4th, 35th and 102nd overall picks to Detroit for their 4th overall pick.
I hate predicting trades because it can really mess up your board, but Tampa's need for a playmaker is obvious. Galloway is old, Clayton has been a disappointment and it's time to go in another direction. Johnson is the best player in the Draft and is a great character kid. It doesn't matter who's in this spot, they're taking Johnson. Detroit could also pull the Eli Manning, and select Johnson in hopes of trading him.
3. Cleveland- Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame
This is where the Draft will get interesting. The Browns are staring three solid players in the face, but have to pick one. In the end, head coach Romeo Crennel's association to Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis is too strong to ignore. Quinn isn't the physical freak that Russell is, but he has been coached by one of the best offensive minds in football in South Bend, has solid attributes and has true passion for the game.
4. Detroit (from Tampa Bay)- Gaines Adams, DE Clemson
The best pure pass rusher in the Draft, Adams has legitimate Pro Bowl potential. He isn't a great run defender, but let's face it, defensive ends are paid to drop quarterbacks. With the Cover 2 defense in full effect in the Motor City, the need to apply pressure with the front four is a necessity. Adams should be a good fit.
5. Arizona- Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin
'Zona might be the luckiest team on the planet if the board falls this way. Next to Johnson, Thomas is the best player in the Draft and fills a huge need for the Cardinals. After investing so much money in Fitzgerald, Boldin, James and Leinart, it'd be nice to be able to protect their investment. Thomas is an instant starter and perennial Pro Bowler.
6. Chicago (from Washington)- Amobi Okoye, DT Louisville
*Chicago trades LB Lance Briggs and the 31st overall pick to Washington for the 6th overall pick.
Again, predicting trades are extremely risky and I don't like doing it, but this trade makes a ton of sense. The Bears aren't going to pay Briggs, who's already agreed to terms with Washington and is vowing to sit out the season unless he's dealt or paid. Everyone wins in this scenario because Chicago gets to move up 25 spots and get rid of a player that doesn't want to be there anymore. Washington gets to overpay another player, albeit a good one this time, and still get a Round 1 pick (31). There's also a very real chance that DT Tank Johnson might be suspended by the league when he is released from prison.
7. Minnesota- Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma
Not their biggest area of need, but Peterson has the explosion that current RB Chestor Taylor lacks. Taylor's a decent running back, but Peterson has the special qualities that can make a difference in this league. Two RB systems are also in vogue in the NFL and having another capable ball carrier is never a bad thing.
8. Atlanta (from Houston)- LaRon Landry, S LSU
The more I watch Landry, the more I like him. He can play in the box and be another linebacker, cover a ton of ground defending the pass and has the elite production teams drool over. Atlanta has had poor play from its safeties and need a player like Landry to bring stability to the defense.
9. Miami- Levi Brown, OT Penn State
Another player with great production, Brown is a 4-year starter with good feet, size and tenacity. The Dolphins have had difficulty protecting their quarterbacks and it's time they did something about it. Brown is an instant starter.
10. Houston (from Atlanta)- Leon Hall, CB Michigan
Houston can go in a number of directions with this pick. They'd love Levi Brown to still be on the board, but may have to go another route. Despite Hall's inconsistency late in the year, he's the most polished and well-rounded CB in the Draft and would look great opposite Dunta Robinson.
11. San Francisco- Patrick Willis, LB Ole Miss
I've had DT Alan Branch pegged at this pick for months, but two things are happening. One, Branch is moving down boards because of questions about his effort and conditioning. And two, I remembered how important LB Ray Lewis was to Nolan in Baltimore. Willis is easily the best linebacker in the Draft, has been incredibly productive and had terrific workouts after the season. He's my guy at this spot.
12. Buffalo- Darrelle Revis, CB Pittsburgh
This pick has been extremely hard to make. The Bills would love Patrick Willis here, but have to audible. It's too early for Michigan's David Harris, so GM Marv Levy could go with Revis, a solid corner that's flying up boards. After losing corner Nate Clements via free agency, adding Revis would be a big step in the right direction for a defense that has lost a ton of veteran talent.
13. St. Louis- Jamaal Anderson, DE Arkansas
Head coach Scott Linehan will be very happy with DT Alan Branch and DE's Anderson and Adam Carriker on the board. It will definitely be a hard decision, but Anderson's potential might give him the edge. After leading the SEC in sacks last year, Anderson got the NFL's attention. His size (6'5" 280") gives him an edge over the rest of the pack of defensive ends and he should see significant time opposite DE Leonard Little.
14. Carolina- Alan Branch, DT Michigan
The Panthers are said to be looking for a safety, but with them shopping around veteran DT Kris Jenkins and Branch still on the board, they should make this pick. Branch logged more snaps at Michigan than any other defender, so I'm not buying the knocks on him about not working hard. He has all the tools to be great and would be going to a team that relies on their defensive line.
15. Pittsburgh- Adam Carriker, DE Nebraska
Whereas Branch is a surprise with the above pick, Carriker is not. The Steelers need help at LB, DE and CB and will take the highest player on their board. Carriker has the size and speed to play end in a 3-4 or 4-3 defense (which new coach Mike Tomlin is rumored to want to switch to), or even move inside as a 4-3 defensive tackle during passing situations. Carriker's a solid player who dominated the Senior Bowl and has the flexibility to be special in Pittsburgh.
16. Green Bay- Marshawn Lynch, RB Cal
I think the Packers could find a running back later in the Draft, but I believe the Packers are operating under a 'win now' philosophy and will take Lynch. There are better players on the board here, but Lynch should be an immediate starter and could have great success as a rookie.
17. Jacksonville- Reggie Nelson, S Florida
The Jags have some serious decisions to make if the board falls like this. Safety might be the biggest need for the team, but adding a speed receiver or defensive end is a real possibility. In the end, Nelson's production and athleticism should win out.
18. Cincinnati- Aaron Ross, CB Texas
Veteran CB Tory James was allowed to leave via free agency, Dealthy O'Neal was incredibly inconsistent and 2006 rookie Jonathan Joseph was arrested for marijuana. To say the Bengals have issues at corner is an understatement. Ross had a terrific season at Texas and can also return punts. He's a solid pick here.
19. Tennessee- Robert Meachem, WR Tennessee
Will the Titans actually take the hometown kid? They definitely could. The Titans have a major hole after losing receiver Drew Bennett in the offseason. With better quarterback play, Meachem blew up last year. He has the size, speed and hands to be a solid receiver in the NFL. He's also great getting off press coverage, one of the hardest adjustments for rookie receivers.
20. New York Giants- Lawrence Timmons, LB Florida State
A perfect example of where need meets value, the Giants should be running to the podium with this pick. Timmons really jumps out at you on film, is a solid athlete and should be a starter the minute he's selected.
21. Denver- Jarvis Moss, DE Florida
One of the best edge rushers in the Draft, Moss looks the part at 6'6" 260. He needs to add some weight if he hopes to get into the elite category, but his ability to apply pressure off the corner could make him the pick here.
22. Dallas- Joe Staley, OT Central Michigan
The Cowboys are one of only a few teams that don't have a glaring weakness heading into the weekend. They have several options here, including receiver and safety, but Staley's been flying up boards and would give Dallas additional depth at a position that has been unstable for the past few years. Also, starting LT Flozell Adams will be a free agent next season and they're not going to pay him.
23. Kansas City- Ted Ginn Jr., WR Ohio State
I would go in a different direction with this pick, but lacking a premier receiver has kept this offense from greatness in recent years. Ginn is very raw as a route runner, but he has elite speed and replace the recently departed WR/RS Dante Hall as a rookie.
24. New England (from Seattle)- Brandon Meriweather, S Miami
Character concerns are a concern for him, but because he has so much talent and have such a solid veteran presence on the team, the Pats could roll the dice on Meriweather. He's the best man-cover safety in the Draft, but can also be very effective playing over the top.
25. New York Jets- Anthony Spencer, DE/OLB Purdue
The decision here will be between Spencer and TE Greg Olsen, and neither is a bad pick. However, head coach Eric Mangini knows he needs OLBs to put heat on quarterbacks for his defense to work. Spencer has the ability to play as a 4-3 DE or a OLB in a 3-4, giving him the flexibility to be special.
26. Philadelphia- Jon Beason, LB Miami
A terrific athlete, Beason would go much higher if he could've shaken the injury bug in Coral Gables. Philly has flopped on recent linebacker picks, but Beason, along with free agent addition Takeo Spikes, could turn a weakness into a strength for the Eagles.
27. New Orleans- Greg Olsen, TE Miami
The trade for CB Jason David gives the Saints some cushion with their first pick. While the offense exploded last year, it was missing a key piece…TE. Olsen could very well go much higher than this, but he'd be a great fit for the Saints at twenty-seven.
28. New England- David Harris, LB Michigan
The prototypical Patriot defender, Harris isn't flashy but was very productive at Michigan. He's moving up boards, perhaps faster than any other player right now, and fits the mold of what New England wants in a player. Expect Harris to get tutoring from Seau, Bruschi and Vrabel, but play sooner rather than later.
29. Baltimore- Chris Houston, CB Arkansas
Everyone has the Ravens grabbing an offensive lineman, but if the Draft turns out like this, they may have to shift gears. Houston is a fantastic cover corner who could contribute immediately for the Ravens. Veteran CB Samari Rolle was exposed way too often last year and Houston could push for a starting spot.
30. San Diego- Dwayne Bowe, WR LSU
Bowe is one of my favorite prospects and my #2 rated receiver. For him to still be on the board is amazing in itself, but having him go to the Chargers is also incredible. They released WR Keenan McCardell and have to get more talent at the position.
31. Washington (from Chicago)- Charles Johnson, DE Georgia
If Johnson is on the board at this point, the Redskins have done a solid job with their trade with Chicago. Briggs is an instant starter at LB, but Johnson could be right behind him. The Redskins didn't get enough pressure off the edge and Johnson, who outplayed hyped DE Quentin Moses last year, is a nice pick.
32. Indianapolis- Paul Posluszny, LB Penn State
The Colts want to take a LB or DT with this pick, but don't be surprised if a WR like Steve Smith is the selection. However, I'm sticking with Poz because although he's not a terrific athlete, he's much faster in pads and coach Tony Dungy loves his game.

ELKINS -People passing by Citizens Bank of West Virginia on Friday afternoon were greeted by an unexpected summer surprise.
In observance of National Ice Cream Day on Sunday - and with July being designated National Ice Cream Month - the bank decided to do something special.
"Citizens has been out on the streets a few times over the past couple of months giving people unexpected surprises with some random acts of kindness and we thought this would be fun to do on our own location for the community," said the bank's president and CEO, Thomas K. Derbyshire.

(The Inter-Mountain photo by Lynn Setler)
This time, the bank's act of kindness helped cool down passersby. For two hours, Nick's Ice Cream Truck was parked in the bank's parking lot on Third Street.
"Everybody loves ice cream and we thought we would celebrate this fun holiday by renting the ice cream truck and providing our employees and the community with free ice cream treats," Derbyshire said.
Frozen delights from ice cream sandwiches, pushup pops and Klondikes to Orangecicles and Drumsticks were free to those stopping by the truck.
Kathy Leombruno, the bank's senior vice president and marketing officer, said within the first hour she and other employees gave away about 75 ice cream treats.
Bank employees helping pass out the ice cream included Office Facilities and Security Officer Laura Simons, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Sherri Marstiller and Alex Pingley, a marketing intern.

The Enquirer Building is located at 617 Vine Street in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio and was the home of the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper from 1926 until 1992, when the company relocated to Elm Street.4 The 14-story, 288,000 square-foot building was designed by Lockwood Greene & Company in the Art Deco and Art Moderne styles and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The Enquirer Building was purchased by an affiliate of Middle Earth in 2007 for $2.5 million with plans to convert the structure into condominiums.6 The company received $5 million in state historic tax credits and began gutting the interior but stopped work in 2008. In September 2011, Bank of America filed a foreclosure lawsuit against Middle Earth. Middle Earth had borrowed $2.3 million but failed to pay the note when it matured two years later. On September 27, the affiliate went into receivership and the building's court-appointed receiver, CBRE, listed the building for sale.
Several of the last office tenants, including Downtown Cincinnati Inc. and Stout & Gallant, moved out in late-2009.7 The last retail store, Cincinnati Tobacconist, closed in March 2010.
The building was purchased by SREE Hotels of Charlotte, North Carolina for $3.7 million 2 5 and proposed its first historic renovation and first hotel in the region.3 The company proposed converting the vacant office tower into two limited service hotels for two Hilton brands, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites, along with 9,000 square-feet of first-floor retail. The project entailed the construction of 144 Hampton Inn units and 105 Homewood Suites units.1 The conversion of the office building into a hotel is estimated to cost $27 million, partially offset by state historic tax credits and an additional $7.3 million in city tax breaks only if the building is rated silver LEED for environmentally friendly construction.4 5
SREE selected JDL Warm Construction for pre-construction services, CR Architecture + Design for architectural services and HGC Construction of Walnut Hills as the construction manager for the hotel conversion project.1 Approximately 40 bid packages are to be awarded that range from $10,000 to $3.5 million and an average of 150 workers will be present daily on the project.
The two hotels are scheduled to open in early 2015.1

You are overdoing it and overthinking it. Eat food. Natural food. Don't eat stuff that comes in a package. Start there and stop worrying about the macronutrient content for now. The stres will hurt you more than anything primal can fix.
I came across Primal Blueprint a couple of months ago. I found the eating and diet paradigm quite inspiring. For a couple of weeks I tried adjusting my eating based on primal ingredients, the quantities were pure guess work. I logged my weight, what I was eating and my energy levels. Oh, I also mention that I was choose ingredients that were available organically and local to the United Kingdom. I was successful in managing my weight for those two weeks but I would have to admit that my energy levels were hardly consistent: I would feel 'dead legged' or 'weak kneed' going about my daily activities (I hadn't read the book completely by that point). After reading about the recommended protein and calorie intake I decided to use paleotrack to see how I could remedy the symptoms. My target protein intake is 76kg (based on a weight of 58kg, height of 176cm, moderately active and 15% body fat) and average calorie intake of 2150.225 (based on an age of 26, being lightly active and being male - BMR of 1563.8). I found that I was eating on average: half the calorie intake, 97g of carbs, 10kg in excess of protein and found that my vitamin and mineral ratio was completely up the creak (for example: completely lacking in calcium, zinc and iron; overdosing by magnitudes on Vitamin C, K and A).
So conclusions from my analysis would be that my symptoms were probably due to lack of calories. Also, perhaps due to overdoes and defiances in vitamins and minerals (see Vitamins and minerals - NHS Choices).
Therefore, I've attempted to create a menu based on the following criteria:
- Protein intake of 76kg
- Carb intake of approximately 75-100g
- Remainder of calories using fats (minimizing PUFAs)
- Vitamnis and minerals no more than 200% of RDI
- Source food from UK organically and from responsible sources (without supplements)
- Dairy free
- Grain and wheat free
- Sugar free
- Legume free
- Omega 3/6 ratio of around 1
- Potassium/Sodium ratio of 5 or above
It has been a couple of weeks and I'm still scratching my head. When putting a menu together I've found it has been difficult to include enough: calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, thiamin and folate. I solved the vitamin E problem by finding some local hazelnut oil. Unfortunately it is a PUFA oil and I would eat it without cooking anyway, which I hope solves the health concerns. I've been unable to find any references to how much PUFA to consume compared to mono and saturated fats on this site. If anyone can shed any light on this for me that would be great (I've managed about 10% so far). I've only managed to reach about 50-60% calcium levels using mainly two tins of mackerel. I was able to reach about 80%-90% if I included 125g ground flaxseed a day (which also solved most of the mineral issues); but the advice, for males at least on this site, is to leave them out for now due to the cancer risk. If I'm trying to keep all my food local, most nuts and seeds are out of the question (considering I'm from the UK): hemp and flax seem to be the only seeds; walnut and hazelnuts for nuts. But walnut, hazelnut and hemp have unfavourable omega 3 and 6 ratios. Without the help of flax I'm finding it difficult to push the omega ratio down from 3 to 1 considering I've reached my maximum protein and Vitamin B12 levels with a combination of: mackerel, lamb or beef and a lot of mushroom (for the pantothenic acid).
The only way forward I can see at the moment is to compromise on some of my criteria. Such as: include cheese to solve my calcium intake (if I'm trying to keep my food local); add coconut oil, nuts and seeds from abroad (to avoid/reduce the use of dairy); or include supplements such as fish oil. None of these ideas would help me sleep soundly at night.
As I'm at my wits end, I would really appreciate any advice people could give me to solve my dilemma.
Thanks for your time,
Robert Holland

A cup or two of greens (depending on the green) has more than the RDA of calcium... I imagine the rest of the issues are as easily solved, just look at the foods.
I'm writing because of the energy thing... I just had what my boyfriend calls a big eating and I call a big carb day. I hadn't since getting my act together this time and I had gotten to the point where I couldn't think. I feel much better now, and I'm remembering that last time I had a long stretch of successful eating control I needed a big eat day every 7-10 days.
If we want to be all "primal" about it, that is probably even natural- an occasional find of plenty punctuating more mundane eating weeks.

Blogging at http://loafingcactus.com
You're going to struggle with primal and organic and local (how local are we talking?), especially given the last 18 months of rubbish harvests. Remember humans have traded foods for a few years so don't rule out those herring because they are from the sea/outside your local area.
However, are you looking at odd local foods or just what is widely available in shops? Nettles are very nutritious, as are many wild greens; there are bumper chestnut harvests to be had in autumn, ditto blackberries. If you can grow your own there are vegetables such as skirret, earth chestnuts, the roots and rhizomes of many plants, even imported species such as Hablitzia.
Be wary of counting too much on calculated nutrient requirements and contents - you can never know exactly how much of a substance is in each individual plant/animal, nor how much of it you need that day/week/month.
With regards to your comment about trade. I suppose this would help explain my emphasis on local produce. Given the amount of public and private debt in the UK (together with other issues such as: peak oil, a flawed economic/banking model based on perpetual population growth; and climate change) I'm very sceptical on my countries future prospects: we're living far beyond our means. Everything that we need will be far more expensive relative to our incomes and foreign goods (using the same reasoning) will cost even more so. Hence, my emphasis on trying to adopt a lifestyle that is: healthy, keeps me fit as possible for as long as possible without the help of modern petroleum based medicine; and nutritious and local, so that I can eventually source close to home as possible and supplement with growing in my backyard.
Thanks for the warning with regard to nutritional content. One thing I've found out is that most suppliers don't seem to know how nutritious their food is, which I find particularly frustrating. Particularly since there seems to be consequences with overindulging in vitamins and minerals. Thanks for your thoughts NorthernMonkeyGirl.

Erath edges Notre Dame in regular season soccer finale
ERATH – The Notre Dame Pioneer soccer team closed out the 2010 regular season on a sour note Wednesday, falling to Erath, 2-1, at Bobcat Stadium.
The Pioneers (9-3), who had already defeated Erath twice during league play heading into Wednesday's matchup, struggled offensively in the first half and failed to score in the opening 40 minutes.
Erath scored the first goal two minutes into the contest before adding another goal with just over 16 minutes to go in the second half.
Notre Dame closed the gap to 2-1 with six minutes remaining when Jonathon Besse scored on an assist from Hunter Stover.
The Pios had two more opportunities in the closing minutes, but both shots just missed their mark and went off the sidebar.
Erath had 31 shots on goal on the night while the Pios were limited to just 22.
Notre Dame finished in second place in their district behind Catholic High of New Iberia.
The Pios are guaranteed postseason berth and will find out their playoff fate on Thursday. First-round action is slated for Friday.

Barnes breaks through
UNIVERSITY PARK - Bill O'Brien had fielded questions almost all season about defensive end Deion Barnes' play, or lack thereof.
The coach never wavered from the 6-foot-4, 245-pounder's side, maintaining Barnes' play was strong despite the numbers, or lack thereof.
Saturday's game against Kent State brought validity to O'Brien's claims in the form of statistics.
Barnes did not waste much time, earning half a sack - his first of the year - on Golden Flashes quarterback Colin Reardon about halfway into the first quarter. The play resulted in a forced fumble credited to cornerback Jordan Lucas.
The Nittany Lions did not create a turnover as Kent State senior Tim Erjavec fell on the ball, but with the play, a monkey was lifted off Barnes' back.
"[The sack] felt great," Barnes said. "It's been a long time coming."
As far as an explanation for the zero in Barnes' sack column, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Freshman of the Year offered up that he was chasing the sack instead of letting it come to him.
"I was getting a lot of pressure but quick passes or I would miss the sack," Barnes said. "But I'm over [chasing sacks] and out here trying to make sure my team's better."
Barnes finished with six total tackles, two solo.
O'Brien said in his opinion, Barnes is a "heck of a football player," and he would point out how if he watched film with the media.
"I'm very, very glad he's on my team and not somebody else's," O'Brien said.
The defensive end is coming off his first year of eligibility in which he recorded six sacks.
Barnes said he expected teams to focus more on him and some chip blocks, but he is still adjusting to the schemes he is seeing.
"I don't feel like I'm playing to where I want to be," he said, "but I definitely think I got better since last year."
Bunch of fighters
O'Brien had a memorable television interview following a 24-21 emotional overtime victory against Wisconsin last season where he may or may not have uttered an incidental expletive which he corrected to "fighters."
Saturday was nearly the same story.
O'Brien asked reporters if he could be asked more questions about the defense since it pitched a shutout before he went on to compliment the defensive unit.
"I think John Butler ... who coaches over there and that crowd of players over there did a hell of a ..." O'Brien said before starting his next word with an "f" sound.
O'Brien caught himself and finished out his statement with "a hell of a job."
A reporter joked it sounded like O'Brien was about to say fighters - or something else - again, to which O'Brien said, "We do we have a bunch of fighters," as he emphasized fighters.
O'Brien went on to maintain he really said fighters that night in November.
"My mom, she still doesn't believe I said 'fighters.' Do I look like the type of guy who swears?" O'Brien joked.
"Sweet Caroline" returns
Penn State fans saw the return of a classic with 9:26 left in the second quarter.
Neil Diamond's famed song "Sweet Caroline" echoed through Beaver Stadium as the crowd cheered and sang along in surprise.
The song had previously been held from the stadium speakers in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Penn State spokesman Jeff Nelson said via email that "Sweet Caroline" has "been the song most requested by fans this season, whether via social media or our online Gameday Music Crew."
Saturday also marked the third annual blue-out, raising awareness for child-abuse prevention.
Kickin' Ficken
Sam Ficken saw his Penn State record-breaking streak of 15 consecutive made field goals come to an end last week, but he found a way to outdo himself yet again.
Ficken went 2-for-2 against the Golden Flashes, but it was his second attempt that highlighted his night.
With the game winding down in the fourth quarter, Ficken lined up for a 54-yarder and booted it through with ease.
The kick nearly placed Ficken in the Penn State record books again, but fell just 1 yard shy of Chris Bahr's 55-yard record, which he accomplished three times dating back to the 1970s.
Ficken compared his 57-yard miss against Central Florida to his 54-yard make Saturday.
"I didn't hit it perfectly, but I hit it well enough to where it went in. It was pretty much a normal kick that I do in practice four times a week," Ficken said.
Ficken said he went into the kick with the mentality that it was just an extra point and if he hit it well, it would get there. He added it was not a pressure kick, seeing as it had no weight in the outcome of the game, but he has a high standard to maintain.
"Coach O'Brien had confidence in me. When he calls my number, I expect to go out and make it," Ficken said.
Bye week up next
Penn State will be off next weekend as the Nittany Lions head into their first of two bye weeks with a 3-1 record.
O'Brien said the bye week presents an opportunity for some players to go home for the weekend, and that is exactly what offensive lineman Eric Shrive plans to do.
"It's something we look forward to, especially for us Pennsylvania guys who are only two hours away from home," the senior said. "You go home and watch a little high school football. Just relax and get some good eats."
O'Brien said the coaching staff will think about giving the team off Friday, but added the schedule beyond the bye week is very tough, starting with Indiana.
The Hoosiers mark the start of Big Ten play for Penn State, and running back Akeel Lynch said the bye will help heal the team in preparation for that stretch.
Barnes said he plans to use the off week by watching the games the Lions have played thus far to see his flaws.
"Make sure I clear those things up and go out with Coach [Larry Johnson] and with the rest of the line and see what we can do to be better and more dominant," Barnes said.
News and notes
PSU's game captains were P Alex Butterworth, WR Brandon Felder and OL Eric Shrive. LB Mike Hull (knee) did not play against Kent State despite seeing time against the Knights. Safety Ryan Keiser sustained an undisclosed injury and received treatment after the game for it. TE Adam Breneman did not see action until late in the second half, but caught a 27-yard pass from QB Christian Hackenberg.

Bellingham comes in #2 for family friendliest city in the state of Washington! Acclaimed for its outdoor opportunities and easy access to the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades, the city has the shortest commute time. It also ranks in the top five for public schools and preschools, according to Estately.com July, 2014.
Bellingham, WA ranks "highest performing small city in the state" according to the Milken Institute in March, 2013.
And, in July, 2013, the New York Times asked Sperling's Best Places to rank the U.S. cities with the lowest risk of damage from natural disasters and put the City of Subdued Excitement in 3rd!
She does it again and again over the years!
The city has ranked #2 out of the 25 best cities for "independent businesses" according to The Washington Post Business Capital in October, 2011, for locally-owned businesses that are at the heart of the American economy. Check her out on slide picture number 24.
Over the years, Bellingham, WA has found favor with many top publications and organizations in regards to "best places" to live, best places to retire, and best place to kayak!... And we did it again!
In September of 2008, National Geographic Magazine had named Bellingham in their list of "Where To Live & Play Now: The Next 50 Great Towns."
March 19th, 2008, Forbes Magazine had written the city up as #55 for "Best Small Places For Businesses and Careers."
The city was recently named one of the "safest cities to live" in the U.S., according to Sperling's Best Places, noted in December of 2007. (What a way to end the year!)
In May of 2007, Mother Earth News claimed the city one of the 8 "Great Places You Never Heard Of!" Claiming, "Beautiful scenery, access to an abundance of local food and a strong commitment to water and energy efficiency makes the city really stand out." (America's Best Kept Secret!? I think so!)
In December of 2006, after considering crime statistics, extreme weather, environmental hazards, risks of natural disasters, terrorism threats, and job losses in 379 other metro cities in the US, the city was ranked 4th in the nation in the Third Annual "Most Secure Places To Live" from the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies. That is quite impressive!
In 2006, CNN's Money Magazine rated the city 2nd in Washington state among the "Best Places To Retire". They based the towns with top-notch health care, loads of culture, lots of green space and low taxes. Their online article noted about the city, "the great outdoors and a sophisticated community all at your doorstep," and has "metropolitan ambitions without big-city hassles."
In August of 2006, Outside Magazine rated the city the "best paddling town in the U.S." talking about the wonderful kayaking in Bellingham. This recognition is no surprize as local Brandon Nelson bagged a world record this last spring by kayaking 146 miles in 24 hours around Lake Whatcom!
In May of 2006, in a nationwide study by the American Lung Association, claimed the city was named among 11 other cities as having the cleanest air 6 years in a row!
Also, in May 2006, Inc. Magazine rated the city as 5th "hottest boomtown" under 150,000 in population, based on recent job growth.
In April of 2006, the League of American Bicyclists lists the city as a "silver" level Bicycle Friendly Community. It is the only city in the Pacific Northwest with that designation.
In February of 2006, Where to Retire Magazine did a story on Bellingham as a great place for active seniors to live.
In November of 2005, Dog Fancy listed the city as one of the top 10 "dog-friendly cities" in the USA. (Where is that restaurant the dogs and their owners are encouraged to dine? I believe there is one in town!)
In September of 2004, the city was named as one of the 10 top "Adventure Towns" in the nation by (again) the National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
In May of 2003, Men's Journal calls it one of the 50 best small cities in which to live.
In September of 2001, Outside Magazine called the city one of its top 10 "Dream Towns," noting the town's close access to shorelines, rivers, the San Juan Islands, and the Cascade Mountains.
In conclusion, it is no wonder how one falls in love with this "City of Subdued Excitement! It is a great place to live, work and play and a wonderful city to plan your next vacation.

NBCSports: First the banks ran out of money, then the automakers and now sports leagues are suffering from economic decline. Yesterday, the NFL announced layoffs for 10-15 percent of its administrative workforce and it could get worse. Also, last month the a report indicated that the salary cap in the NHL might drop from $56.7 million this year to $48 million next -- again, they blame the economy. My socks are wet because of all the snow outside - yup, economy.
