text: This is the best and most detailed mock I have seen all year. In case anyone doesn't feel like scrolling, here are the Cowboys picks: Round 1: 22. Dallas Cowboys - Dwayne Jarrett, WR USC Round 2: 53. Dallas Cowboys - Marcus McCauley, CB Fresno State http://www.draftconnection.com/nfl/mock-draft.php Round 1 1. Oakland Raiders - Jamarcus Russell, QB LSU As of right now the number one overall pick will be Jamarcus Russell of LSU. The Raiders will review offers from several different teams that could try to move into the first slot. One team that could be looking at that option will be the Cleveland Browns. They have a good amount of interest in Jamarcus Russell and could be inquiring to see how much it would cost them to move into this position. The Raiders have several needs and those needs, however much they change over the next weeks, will directly determine what they do with this pick. If the Raiders decide to trade Randy Moss to the Packers or the Patriots the Raiders could be in beusiness for a wide receiver. The best receiver would be Calvin Johnson from Georgia Tech. If the Raiders decide to trade picks with the Browns they could take Adrian Peterson to upgrade the Running Back position. The Raiders look set to allow Lamont Jordan and Dominic Rhodes handle the Running duties. Because of this they will more than likely go with either Calvin Johnson or Jamarcus Russell. If the Raiders use their pick correctly they could be setting themselves up to turn around this team. Here is a scenario that I believe would be prime for the Raiders: If the Raiders trade their number one pick to the Cleveland Browns they can select Calvin Johnson at number three. Since they have now traded down, in my scenario, they will be in line to at least have the second round pick of the Browns. They will also trade Randy Moss to the Packers for the 16th overall selection. With the 16th overall selection the Raiders could select Marshawn Lynch, because this is my scenario and I believe he is better than both Lamont Jordan and Dominic Rhodes combined. With the first selection in the second round they will select Drew Stanton to be their Quarterback next year. With the second pick in the second round, acquired from the Browns, they will be in line to select their pick of an offensive lineman, I will say Aaron Sears from Tennessee. Now I very serious doubt the Raiders will do exactly what I say here, but I believe adding Calvin Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Drew Stanton, and Aaron Sears would do much to improve this team for next season. I would also consider the removal of Randy Moss an improvement as well. 2. Detroit Lions - Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin The Detriot Lions have many needs in this draft and because of the frenzy over Calvin Johnson could trade this pick. In the end I think they will stay here and select Joe Thomas. Joe Thomas is a very talented very versatile offensive lineman that will be a cornerstone for the Detriot Lions for many years to come. They could select a playmaker, but they haven't had much success in the past with drafting top playmakers. Partly because of that they should get back to basics. They started that movement last year by drafting a top defensive player and now will continue that philosophy by selecting a player that can protect a quarterbacks blindside very well. They may decide to actually select that quarterback in Brady Quinn, but I believe if they really want to invest in an elite quarterback this year they could make that selection in the second round. 3. Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma The Cleveland Browns will be looking to trade picks with the Oakland Raiders to select Jamarcus Russell at number one overall. If they deem the price to be too high they will stay put and select Adrian Peterson with the third overall selection. Their running game last year was definitely more of a problem than strength. Adrian Peterson is the best runningback in this draft and in my opinion is better than people think. The knock on Peterson is that he hasn't shown to be as good as a receiver as Marshawn Lynch has shown to be. This assumption is a mistake. Peterson has not shown to be as good because of the way he was used in his college scheme. Lynch was consistently used as a pass catching Running Back. In his pro day Peterson working mainly on catching passes and because of that proved that he has the hands that people have were not sure he had. Peterson is a big back that make people miss and still run a game time sub 4.4. They would be very smart to make this pick and I believe once the Browns are on the clock they will not be able to pass up this option. 4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech The Buccaneers have several options here as well. However, I don't believe they are going to be as versatile as the Browns. They could use another Linebacker but I don't see Patrick Willis being a top five pick. They could go with Alan Branch to replace Anthony McFarland who was lost to the Indianapolis Colts. But I don't see that being as big a need as some people might think. I view it as if it was all that important they would not have made that move in the middle of the season. They could get a little younger in the secondary but they can do that later in the draft also. I believe for the Buccaneers to get there money's worth with this pick and at the same time upgrading a need they should focus on taking a good reciever in the draft. They could decide to make a change at running back and Select Adrian Peterson with this pick but I like what they have going now. So reciever it is. In my opinion the best reciever in the draft is Calvin Johnson. If Johnson had of played for a bigger name school like USC no one would even question whether or not he was the best reciever. The Buccaneers do have several recievers but with the exception of Joey Galloway they have been inconsistent at best and Calvin Johnson could the big reciever to come in and really help out the younger quarterbacks that the Buccaneers are going with. 5. Arizona Cardinals - Gaines Adams, DE Clemson The Cardinals have several positions to work on this off season. In my opinion there biggest problem is the offensive line. I said from the beginning that Edge wouldn't have the stats he had in Indianapolis because the Arizona Cardinals don't have the right offensive line. In Indy Edge was known for those stretch plays that he was so good at. Instead of looking to the draft to fix their problems the Cardinals seem to want to work with what they have. They may go out and get some experience in the Free Agent market this off season and they will also try to add some depth later in the draft but I wouldn't expect to see them use their first couple of picks on that need. I would like to see them take a linebacker with their second or third round pick or maybe even a tight end. However, with this pick I think they need to address the secondary. They have more of a need for a corner than a safety but Laron Landy would fit well if they used him to replace Griffith and also maybe play a little nickle corner. If they want to pass on Landry with this pick I could see them going for a trade to move down in the draft and select the Linebacker Patrick Willis out of Ole Miss. This would actaully be a good move on there part but because I am not going to start predicting trades we will stick with Landy. 6. Washington Redskins - Laron Landry, S LSU Between Gaines Adams and Laron Landry I think the Washington Redskins would take Gaines Adams, but if the Cardinals take Adams the Redskins will have to choose between Jamaal Anderson and Laron Landry. This might be a situation where the Redskins would pose a draft day trade to the Falcons who currently hold the 8th position in a trade with houston. The Falcons have their eyes on Laron Landry and I believe they will get him if they trade into this slot. Whichever teams ends up getting this player he will make an immediate impact. He is the class of this Defensive Backs and proved that all year last year. He could possible go as high as number five to the Cardinals but I have him going off the board at number six to either the Washington Redskins or the Atlanta Falcons. 7. Minnesota Vikings - Jamaal Anderson, DE Arkansas The Minnesota Vikings have several options with this pick. They could decide to go with Brady Quinn here, but I think they will stick with Tavarius Jackson as their starting quarterback. With that said I think they will choose between going defense or taking Ted Ginn Junior. I believe that when it comes down to it they will give Troy Williamson another chance to prove he is the player they drafted him to be and go with defense here. Jamaal Anderson is coming out early this year but his stock is just as high right now as it would be if he stayed in school another year. He is the second best Defensive End in the draft behind Gaines Adams and should be a top ten pick this year. I think this pick makes the most sense for the Vikings, unless Landry is available, and will bolster their defensive line immediately. 8. Houston Texans - Ted Ginn, WR Ohio State ATLANTA FALCONS FROM HOUSTON IN TRADE FOR MATT SCHAUB: The Falcons struggled to find a true number one receiver last year. It may be a reach to have them going with a receiver with this pick considering they have already signed Joe Horn, but I believe taking the speedy Ted Ginn Jr. with this pick would be a very nice treat for Michael Vick and add another dimension to their offense that they were missing last year. They could choose to go after Leon Hall with this pick but considering both position are very deep this year I think they are just as likely to take a Wide Receiver as a Defensive Back. Ted Ginn Jr. is in the elite of receivers this year and will be able to contribute in the return game until he adjusts to the NFL style of football. 9. Miami Dolphins - Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame The Dolphins seem to be confused at the Quarterback position. With Cleo Lemon, Joey Harrington, and Donte Culpepper on the roster they still don't know who will be starting next year. Harrington will probably be on his way out this offseason and Culpepper doesn't seem to have gotten over his knee injury. They should look to take Brady Quinn here who will be a franchise player in the future. The Dolphins could decide to add Levi Brown here who is one of the top Offensive Tackles this year, but in the end I think they will stick with what they have and select a player at a skilled position. Quinn could go as high as number one overall but I think he will end up slipping all the way to number nine. The Vikings should go with Tavarius Jackson, the Texans are going with Matt Schaub, and the Redskins are going with Jason Cambell. The other possibilities for Quinn are Detroit and Cleveland. The Detroit Lions, odd as it may seem, really like Jon Kitna as their starter and I believe will go with him again this year, even though may select a quarterback in round two or three to groom for the future. The Browns have an equal need at Running Back and should select Adrian Peterson and allow Brady Quinn to slip to the Miam Dolphins at #9. 10. Atlanta Falcons - Levi Brown, OT Penn St. HOUSTON TEXANS FROM ATLANTA IN TRADE FOR MATT SCHAUB: The Houston Texans are no longer in the market for Brady Quinn because they have traded for Matt Schaub and have said he will be their starting Quarterback. With this pick they should look to the offensive line and select the best available lineman in Levi Brown. They already have their quarterback but if he isn't protected he will be no better than David Carr was in this system. They could decide to improve their running game with Marshawn Lynch but with the signing of Ahman Green I think they will be satisfied with drafting for protection. Levi Brown will be a very good NFL tackle and will do a lot in helping Schaub have a good year in 2007. 11. San Francisco 49ers - Robert Meachem, WR Tennessee The San Francisco 49ers are very slim at the Wide Receiver position and should look to bolster that position with this pick. Robert Meachem has really shown he deserves to be the second receiver taken in this draft. He blew up the combine and has bolted up draft boards over the last two months to unseat Dwayne Jarrett as the second or third overall wide receiver this year. This pick could be a reach considering most people don't have Meachem going this high, but as I have learned in recent years of mocking when it comes to draft day the teams are going to select the players they believe will help them the most. For the 49ers Robert Meachem is that player. He will be a dynamic NFL receiver and could start for almost any team as a rookie next year. 12. Buffalo Bills - Marshawn Lynch, RB California The Buffalo Bills have several needs with this pick. They could decide to go after Patrick Willis from Ole Miss to upgrade the MLB position but I think the more pressing need is at Running Back. They lost Willis McGahee this offseason and will need to replace him. They have already signed Anthony Thomas but I don't see him as a starting runningback at this point in his career. Marshawn Lynch is the second best running back in the 2007 draft behind Adrian Peterson. Lynch, because of the system he played in, has displayed the ability to be a receiver out of the backfield and also stay in and block. Because of this, he has many people saying he is a more complete back than Peterson. He will start this year for the Bills. If the Bills decide to pass on Lynch he won't get past the Packers at #16. 13. St. Louis Rams - Amobi Okoye, DT Louisville The Rams are in good position with this pick to select a player that will really help them next year. They could go with Patrick Willis to help out the Linebacking corps, but I believe they will take the 19 year old Amobi Okoye who is getting people really excited over his potential. This player is possibly the best Nose Tackle in the draft and because he is only 19 years old has a lot of playing time in front of him. Also, it is apparent that he is an intelligent individual considering he entered college when he was just 16 years old. Okoye is a beast and consistently beat the top offensive lineman last year during the season and in the senior bowl. He will have a great opportunity to considerably upgrade the Rams defensive line. 14. Carolina Panthers - Patrick Willis, ILB Ole Miss Patrick Willis is the best Inside Linebacker in the draft, by far. Ever since I watched this guy play throughout high school I have been waiting to see how high he would go in the draft. Side note: when he played for Bruceton/Hollow Rock Central in Tennessee, we never even came close to beating them. He will start out behind Dan Morgan but could beat him out in camp. Even if he doesn't Dan Morgan doesn't know what the word "durability" means and will end up giving his starting job to Willis by the end of the year. The pick will get the Carolina Panthers players and fans excited about the new era of the Panthers defense. 15. Pittsburgh Steelers - LaMarr Woodley, DE Michigan Despite the opinions of some top analysts Lamarr Woodley will still probably be a first round pick. The Steelers have taken interest in Woodley and Charles Johnson and will be able to make a pick between those two players with this pick. I don't believe they will look elsewhere because the loss of Joey Porter has opened up a huge whole at Outside Linebacker. They could decide to go elsewhere here and rely on a later pick but the best option for them is to select an OLB with their top pick. They probably readdress this position later in the draft for depth purposes. Especially in the 3-4 defense you can never have too many Linebackers. 16. Green Bay Packers - Greg Olsen, TE Miami The Packers need to address the Running Back position so could try to trade up to get Marshawn Lynch. Some people have Lynch slipping but I don't see the Bills passing on his talent. Assuming they don't trade and the Bills do take Lynch the Packers should look to Greg Olsen. The Pack lost David Martin this offseason and Bubba Franks is no longer producing. Greg Olsen has solidified himself as the only Tight End worthy of a first round selection. He is a big guy and still ran a 4.51 40 at the combine. The Packers do have several needs and have not been very active in Free agency this year. We may end up seeing a draft day trade with the possibility of trading this pick to Oakland for Randy Moss. 17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Reggie Nelson, S Florida The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to have to replace the departed Deon Grant. The best safety available is Reggie Nelson. Several other teams will consider selecting him before the Jaguars are on the clock but I think he will end up being available for Jacksonville with the 17 overall selection. Nelson had a decent combine but he absolutely lit up the field at his pro day so he is back where he should be as a mid first round selection. If he doesn't go to the Jaguars he will get a look at 22 to the Dallas Cowboys even though they are looking to sign Unrestricted Free Agent Ken Hamlin. I think Reggie Nelson could be a starter next year as a rookie for the Jaguars. Nelson is a ball-hawking free safety who is capable of running a 4.35 40. He a center fielder who can also come up and lay a big hit. I was unsure of his tackling ability but after watching some game film on him it is apparent that he is a sure tackle that isn't afraid to hit someone hard but at the same time arrives at the tackle from the right angles. I think he is as smart as he is athletic and will definitely contribute immediately to this Jacksonville Jaguars defensive unit. 18. Cincinnati Bengals - Leon Hall, CB Michigan The Cincinnati Bengals should draft the best available need. That pick should be a defensive back. They may look at Reggie Nelson if he isn't selected at 17 but with him gone I think they choose from Darrelle Revis, Chris Houston, and Leon Hall. Many people have Chris Houston rocketing up the draft boards, and rightly so. However, I don't see him being taken before Leon Hall. Both Hall and Houston are faster than Revis and just as talented in other qualities. Hall got beat by several top receivers last year but his beatings were, for the most part, confined to two bad games. Chris Houston on the other hand was more inconsistent, even though he did shut down certain top receivers. In the end I think the Bengals will go with Leon Hall Cornerback Michigan. 19. Tennessee Titans - Dwayne Bowe, WR LSU The Tennessee Titans need to focus on Wide Receiver with their top pick this year. They lost Drew Bennett in the offseason and he was a top target last year for Vince Young. With Calvin Johnson, Ted Ginn Jr., and Robert Meachem already off the board, they should look toward LSU receiver Dwayne Bowe. There is a lot of first round talent available in this draft and Bowe is right up there with the best of them. He is a big receiver that has surprising speed for his size. He knows how runs his routes and and isn't afraid to make the catch in traffic. The knock on him is that he doesn't use his hands well enough when making the catch. If he can learn to catch the ball with his hands away from his body he could turn into a very good NFL receiver, and he will get every chance to prove his worth with the Tennessee Titans. 20. New York Giants - Chris Houston, CB Arkansas The Giants should choose between a Cornerback, an Offensive Lineman, or an Outside Linebacker with this pick. I think they will realize that they can get a quality linebacker and lineman with their second and third round picks. For example they could be in line to select Jon Beason and Manny Ramirez. I think with these three potential picks the Giants fans would be nothing but pleased. Chris Houston, with his workout at the combine, showed that he is among the elite of Cornerbacks in this years draft. Even though he got burned by some of the top receivers last year, he also beat some of the other top receivers last year. In addition, he showcased his speed at the combine blazing a 4.32 in the 40 yard dash. 21. Denver Broncos - Jarvis Moss, DE Florida The Broncos have needs at Defensive End and Potentially at Linebacker. I thought they would go a little harder towards signing Patrick Kerney but that didn't pan out as expected. They should draft a high class Defensive End in Jarvis Moss, who helped the Gators to a BCS Championship Title this year. Even though Moss is 6 foot 6 inches and 260 pounds he still might need to add another 15 pounds to help in run support. The Broncos could look to take Charles Johnson with this pick but I think they will take Jarvis Moss instead because his pash rushing skill and play acknowledgement are much better than that of Charles Johnson. Also, Johnson could be selected by a team to play as an Outside Linebacker in the 3-4 defense. 22. Dallas Cowboys - Dwayne Jarrett, WR USC With the addition of Leonard Davis, the resiging of Pro Bowl Center Andre Gurode, and the resiging of revitalized RT Marc Columbo the Dallas Cowboys could potentially have the best offensive line that they have had in many years. Even with this said, they could still select Justin Blalock here. They could still have room for improvement if they select Justin Blalock and he is good enough to beat out Kyle Kosier, who is serviceable but is also the weakpoint of the line. The Cowboys should draft for depth at the Linebacker position but look set in terms of the starters. They will start Demarcus Ware, Akin Ayodele, Bradie James, and will have Bobby Carpenter and Greg Ellis splitting time at OLB opposite Ware. The could go after Charles Johnson as they have shown interest in him, but I don't see that happening in the first round. I am assuming with this pick that they finalize their deal with Ken Hamlin that they are currently working on. If they don't finalize that deal then they will use this pick on a defensive back. However the Hamlin deal puts them in the ultimate BPA position. They could still go defensive back with Michael Griffin, Aaron Ross, or several others. If they do not go for a defensive back they could be in line for a wide receiver. I have said many times I don't want them to take a receiver but in this scenario with certain players already off the board it may come down to Sidney Rice or Dwayne Jarrett. I think in Jarrett's pro day later this month he will propel himself ahead of Rice and onto the Cowboys roster. On the Dallas roster he will be the number three receiver behind T.O. and Terry Glenn and could mean the departure of Patrick Crayton who will want to at least be the third receiver. With these three receivers the Dallas Cowboys will be the class of the East and will have the depth to get past any possible injuries. 23. Kansas City Chiefs - Sidney Rice, WR South Carolina The Chiefs definitely need to address the Wide Receiver position. Right now they have Eddie Kennison, Samie Parker, and Donte Hall. I don't really see either of them being a good number one receiver. Kennison is the only one that comes close. Rice will have every chance to start because he is one of the top receivers in the draft. The Chiefs do have several other needs but look for them to address the Receiver position in the first round of this years draft. If any of the other receivers are available they may choose to go with one of those guys but I believe Rice will be the best available at the Receiver position at this point in the draft. 24. New England Patriots - Michael Griffin, S Texas The New England Patriots are in good position to upgrade their defense in the first round this year considering they have two picks at the end of the round. With the first pick I have them taking Michael Griffin from Texas. There are some questions surrounding his cover skills but he still should be a late first round pick. He will competitive in New England and could crack the starting lineup early next year. Griffin looked good at the Texas as did Aaron Ross and both helped their draft status. Dallas could consider taking him in front of the Patriots but I think he will end up falling to the Patriots at #24. The Patriots do not have to take a WR with one of these top picks because of the acquisition of Donte Stallworth. They could still be in the market for a receiver later on the first day but I think they will focus on defense with their two first round selections. 25. New York Jets - Anthony Spencer, DE Purdue The New York Jets have several needs this year but are an improving team that plays with a lot of heart. I think the best pick for them is going to be Anthony Spencer because he can play either Defensive End or Outside Linebacker int the Jets 3-4 defensive scheme. The Jets have signed Kenyon Coleman and Bobby Hamilton this offseason so they would probably play Anthony Spencer in the 3-4, but he will be a good fit there. If they see something in Spencer that they don't like they could decide to go with Charles Johnson instead but for now I am going to say they stick with Anthony Spencer. 26. Philadelphia Eagles - Paul Posluszny, OLB Penn St. There might be a need for a defensive end with this pick depending on what happens with the organization. They had some inconsistency last year and may want to add some depth but I am going to say that Philadelphia will go with the need at linebacker with this pick. Some of their linebackers appeared to underperform at times during last season and even though they may look to add some veteran leadership to the defense they should look to the draft to add a solid outside linebacker for the future. Paul Posluszny can fill that role. He should fall to them because he has been sliding a little bit after some weaknesses were exposed during the Senior Bowl practices and the actual game. If he has a good combine his stock could rise again, but for now I see him as a late first rounder or maybe an early second rounder. 27. New Orleans Saints - Aaron Ross, CB Texas The New Orlean Saints could use some youth in the secondary and Daymeion Hughes looks to be a really good corner. Some people are not sold on him yet but he looks to be a top prospect at corner. I have paying attention to the practices for the Senior Bowl in Mobile and he is playing great. The only question is his recovery speed. However, he is still shutting down everyone he is playing. Because of this I believe he will be at least competitive for playing time in the NFL with the prospect to be a very talented starting CB. If Merriweather is still available they could choose to take him instead, but as it is I have him going to the Patriots a few picks earlier. 28. New England Patriots - Darrelle Revis, CB Pittsburgh Buster Davis is looking to be one of the few Inside Linebackers that translate well to the NFL. He is one of the best at his position this year and has proved all year he can play with the best at the collegiate level. With a good performance at the combine he will solidy himself as a late first round selection. He should find himself taken off the board by either the Patriots or the Ravens in the late first round but won't fall past the first part of the second round. 29. Baltimore Ravens - Joe Staley, OT Central Michigan Quentin Moses's stock was hurt when Jamaal Anderson declared for the draft and chose to forego his senior season. Moses should still be considered one of the top Defensive Ends in the draft. However, he has shown some vulnerability in run support. He will have to add some bulk to be at his best in the NFL and could be considered a candidate to move to the Outside Linebacker position for a 3-4 team. Conveniently the Ravens do run such a defense and will have options with Moses on their roster. 30. San Diego Chargers - Brandon Merriweather, S Miami The San Diego Chargers retain a very talented team from last year. They resigned Dielman so they don't really need to go after Ben Grubbs with this pick. I don't see the correct receiver still available even though that is a need. They may decide to go with Anthony Gonzalez here but I don't see him being a first rounder at this point, especially considering the fact that talent will be available in the second round. The Chargers should stick to the defensive backfield and take Brandon Merriweather. Merriweather has had a couple of off the field issues but I believe he is still a late first round early second round selection this year. The Chargers would definitely be the team that would shy away from taking a character issue player, however, Merriweather makes the most sense considering their needs so I am going to stick with him at #30. 31. Chicago Bears - Justin Blalock, OG Texas Justin Blalock will get a long look at #22 with the Dallas Cowboys on the clock. However, with the work they have done on their offensive line, resigning Gurode and Columbo and signing Leonard Davis, I think the offensive line has become a strength for them and they could shy away from taking a first round lineman. With that said I have Blalock slipping to Chicago. Even though the Bears return their interior line from last year it still has room to be upgraded and Blalock who is the best Guard in this draft will do just that. If the Bears don't go with Blalock they could look to Ben Grubbs who actually played Guard in college but I think they will take Blalock who could actually go in the mid first round. 32. Indianapolis Colts - Lawrence Timmons, OLB Florida St. The Indianapolis Colts have lost their Outside Linebacker in Cato June. They will look to replace him and Lawrence Timmons can do just that. He is one of the top Outside Linebackers in this draft and the Colts are lucky that he falls to them. They will consider a Wide Receiver but I don't think there is one worthy of this pick considering the top six are already gone. They can address that need in the second round if they still believe it is a big issue. Jon Beason is also a consideration with this pick.

A 'geenerk' is a person that embodies the traits of a geek, a nerd, and a dork. In other words, someone that you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult (geek), whose IQ exceeds his weight (nerd), and has odd interests, and is often silly at times (dork). This term was coined by Elaine Perez in September 2009 while referring to her friend Cesar Bocanegra.
If you do a survey with your friends asking them if you're a geek or a nerd, and the response back is that you're both and also a dork, then you're a geenerk.

text: A few weeks ago I noticed the ladies bringing in their first pollen (full sacs) of the year. It has continued, even with our fluctuation of cold, warm, sunny, and snowy weather. The fruit trees or dadelions have not started to bloom. So I am still wondering where and what they are finding in bloom. However, this got me to wondering about robber bees. Can robbers put compressed pollen in cells into their sacs from a theft of another hive?

Adopted 3/23/04; revised 06/27/06; removed from policy manual 9/23/08
Candidates for either rebinding or replacement must meet selection criteria just as they did when purchased initially. In addition, several factors need to be considered, including the general condition of the damaged book, the nature of the damage, availability of a replacement, the costs of rebinding or purchasing another copy, and the costs of staff time to re-process and re-link the rebound or replaced item. Damaged books are not automatically rebound; lost or missing books are not automatically replaced.
I. Definitions
Mending consists of taping or gluing pages and spines in-house; it is less costly and less durable than binding. Binding involves sending the item to a vendor who binds it for a fee*. The vendor also trims the pages and adds a new cover. Replacing means discarding the item and purchasing another copy, or using a donation.
II. Mending Criteria
Generally books are mended if the damage is relatively small, for example, loose pages or a loose spine. Books that are expected to have short shelf-life (such as high-demand paperbacks, or travel guides) and books of a limited topical interest are also good candidates for mending.
III. Binding Criteria
The library does not bind magazines or pamphlets into volumes, and books described in "Mending Criteria" (above) are not considered for re-binding. Damage to the book must be relatively severe so that mending is not an option. Criteria for re-binding include valid content, and pages in good useable condition with sufficient allowance for trimming when rebound..
IV. Replacement Criteria
Damaged, missing or lost books may be considered for replacement if they meet selection criteria just as they did when acquired initially. Standard/classic titles (as listed in bibliographic tools) will be replaced depending on collection needs. Current editions will be purchased to replace dated or superceded editions. Circulation figures may be checked for an indication of demand. If the cost of replacing is less than or equal to the cost of rebinding, the title will be replaced, if available. If the cost of replacing is significantly greater than the cost of rebinding, the damaged book must be unsuitable for re-binding to be considered for replacement.
V. Government Documents
Librarians follow the same criteria for government documents that apply to binding, mending and replacement of other library materials. Documents are unique, and U.S. Government regulations about the retention and disposal of documents affect decisions about binding and replacement. Some documents must be retained permanently, others are routinely superseded after a few months or years, and the majority may be disposed of only after the mandatory five-year retention period.
Some documents require special preparations for the public to use them. The library may need to provide binders, covers, cases or other packaging supplies so the materials can be shelved.
Replacement of documents is less likely because sources and supplies are limited; the government may no longer sell the item, and there may not be a copy available from another depository. There is the possibility, however that the document may be available in an electronic version or online with a government PURL (persistent uniform resource locator).

Teach-In: Bread Riots Along Global Supply Chains - From Cairo to Longview
The world's most bountiful wheat harvest ever was in 2008 yet bread riots broke out in 33 countries — adding that year another 250 million to those without enough to eat everyday and pushing the world's "food insecure" to over 1 billion. Food as a percentage of total household consumption costs has reached 73% in Nigeria, 63% in Morocco, and 61% in the Ukraine. Bread riots in Egypt were preceded by the April 6, 2008 general strike of textile workers who demanded higher wages to cope with wheat prices that had risen 130% (rice also went up 74%).
Egypt is the world's leading wheat importer; the U.S. is the world's top wheat
exporter. The Goldman Sachs Commodity Index of 18 foodstuffs was created in 1991 to allow speculators to invest in financialized futures on ingredients like hard red spring wheat, the world's most popular high-protein ingredient in bread. After the 2008 food bubble collapsed, 200 million bushels of wheat were sold for animal feed while hundreds of millions went hungry. As Asian countries become more affluent, they eat less rice and more meat and bread. EGT Corporation in Longview, Washington has built a portside just-in-time delivery system to allow speculators to move wheat, corn and other grains for food and animal feed down global supply chains to growing markets in Asia. Japan is the world's #1 corn importer; the U.S. is #1 exporter. EGT is doing what Wal-Mart does, but in reverse.
Multinational food giants like EGT monopolize commodities from the farms of North America to food consumers across the planet. This multimedia presentation of recent struggles will be followed by an open discussion of ways we can contribute to the decommodification of not only food, but our lives and society as well.

Here, we sear quail in a skillet and then finish them in the oven over a bed of pear- and cranberry-studded brown-rice pilaf. Although they look like they might be tricky to prepare, quail couldn't be easier to roast. And the flavor payoff is big—rich, succulent meat that is a dark-meat lover's delight.

Serves 4
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 105 min.
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, high-sided, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and ginger to the pan; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in cranberries, sage, thyme and rice. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, season quail with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the quail, in 2 batches, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 4
When the rice is done, stir in pears, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the quail breast-side up on top of the rice. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake uncovered until the rest of the liquid is absorbed and the quail is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the quail with the pilaf.

Meeting information literacy outcomes: Partnering with faculty to create effective information literacy assessment
2012, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 70-85
This paper outlines the attempt by librarians at California State University Channel Islands (CI) to authentically assess the information literacy levels of first-year and third-year students, their partnership with faculty from CI's writing and rhetoric programme in receiving a grant for this endeavour, the creation of a rubric and specialised assignment to facilitate the assessment process and the initial assessment data that came from the three-year grant period. Information gathered during our pilot study suggests that student information literacy proficiency levels can been determined by assessing student writing assignments, and that a targeted rubric is an effective authentic assessment measure in this endeavour. This study is of use to practising librarians as it highlights the efforts of the authors to partner with faculty, not only in assessing student papers, but also in creating a rubric and specialised bibliography assignment that can be used by librarians and faculty at their institutions.

text: I had been waiting for a good day to go in and clean out my beetle traps, and do a general hive inspection and see if I need to reduce the hives down for winter. Today was that day (80 degrees) and I couldn't get home in time. I'm pretty sure we will have some more 70 degree days before winter. Will I be ok to go into the hives with temps in the mid 60's ?

Global warming: the bogus religion of our age
Original post made by Snowman, Midtown, on Mar 10, 2007
Web Link=
Discussing the recent report by Sir Nicholas Stern on the economics of climate change, Lindzen says:
"The central theme of it is that there is a near universal consensus of opinion within the scientific community about the dangers of climate change. But this is not true.
There is no such unanimity among scientists."
Lindzen goes on to concisely debunk the current AGW hysteria, concluding that it is "completely divorced from scientific reality" and that "Like a religion, environmentalism is suffused with hatred for the material world and again, like religion, it requires devotion rather than intellectual rigour from its adherents."
Of course, Lindzen, a Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is no match for the warmies of Palo Alto, some of whom get their information directly from such irrefutable sources as Newsweek or even the Goracle himself.

Snowman. If global warming is such a bogus thing why would major US corporations call for action againt it ? See:
Web Link
And YES there is consensus in the scientific community about global warming. The article you quote presents no evidence to the contrary. Of course, a few odd balls will always be around to claim otherwise... especially if they are paid to do so, as they actually often are.
The US is about the only industrialized country where people are still largely in denial about global warming in such large numbers.
How sad...
a resident of Midtown
on Mar 11, 2007 at 5:05 am
US Corporations must do what is necessary to stay in business. Shareholders do not appreciate principled opposition to a dumb government program.
The US is the nation other nations are eagerly anticipate being allowed to tax under the guize of carbon credit trading, a tax on our productivity.
And there are no SUVs on Mars.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Mar 11, 2007 at 11:02 am
Walter is obviously correct about the motives of large US corporation. Additionally, they correctly understand that once the political situation is such that the regulations will come independent of scientific or economic reasons, they better be the ones sitting at the table and setting the rules so they can make the additional buck trading their future "carbon rights", rather than others making that buck off them...
I will say it very simply... when the day comes that we can *accurately* predict weather just a week ahead, that day I'll start taking the climate models more seriously.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Mar 11, 2007 at 12:55 pm
"The US is the nation other nations are eagerly anticipate being allowed to tax under the guize of carbon credit trading, a tax on our productivity."
Actually other industrialized nations are moving along on this without the US. Witness Europe that decided this week to cut back its emissions of warming gases by 20% by 2020. And they are committed to doing it, because there is so much overwhelming consensus in the scientific community that global warming is real, regardless of Walter's and Wolf's expertise in the area.

Good handle name, Snowman, because you're just trying to "snow us"!
a resident of Professorville
on Mar 12, 2007 at 6:49 am
Actually, Someone, Europe now has a vague pact about the need to reduce CO2 by 20%. There is plenty of dispute about the details and a fair amount of doubt whether the various countries will agree on a specific plan.
And even if they do come up with a plan, there is great reason to expect they will not adhere to it. All the western European countries signed the Kyoto pact, but only two came close to meeting the targets. And Europe as a whole actually increased its GH gas emissions than the non-signatory US in the period since its signing.
It's simply too difficult, in a democracy at least, to extract the kinds of costs and impose the reduced living standards required to reduce global warming gasses on a voting public -- even a public that believes in the science like Europe's.
And the biggest problem - China - isn't having any part of the whole thing.
And as Walter Wallis points out, experiments with carbon taxes haven't exactly been ringing successes thus far. We're foolish to rush into that.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Mar 12, 2007 at 10:44 am
So are you saying that instead we should be getting our science from opinion pieces like the Lindzen reference?
a resident of Palo Verde
on Mar 12, 2007 at 10:45 am
"... experiments with carbon taxes haven't exactly been ringing successes thus far. We're foolish to rush into that."
Geoff, you don't have to worry about "rushing". The US is not rushing to do anything about global warming, disappearing arctic ice etc.... We'll just pass the problem on to our children for the sake of profits.
BTW, carbon taxes is not the only thing included in the European plan agreed upon last week.

I think someone pointed a link to the british documentary,
that is sort of the rebutal to Inconvenient Truth, but I can't
find it now, so I'll assume the rest of the message might have
gotten them deleted and the link that was given did not work.
Get past the hyperbole, and there are some interesting theories put forward in this piece. It's in 8 parts, so you have to find them all.
Piece is called "The great global warming swindle".
I pretty much think you will see from this piece that there is agreement that the surface temp of the earth is getting hotter, just not agreement as to why.

Web Link
I just watched it. It's excellent. Dozens of top experts systematically demolish the theory of man-made global warming. The debunkers include NASA scientists, former lead authors of the IPCC reports, the former president of the National Academy of Science, the co-founder of Greenpeace, and many others.
One particularly important point is that the Warmies seek to impose constraints (eg, no fossil fuels) on developing nations that will condemn hundreds of million of the poorest people on the planet to ongoing poverty and despair. And yet the same Warmies are trying to claim the moral high ground. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.
a resident of another community
on Mar 13, 2007 at 11:10 pm
This "documentary" is just the next wave of disinformation put out by the oil industry through their academic flunkies:
After arguing all along it wasn't really occuring, now they've retreated in the face of overwhelming facts and say, well OK it's occuring, but it really isn't our fault, it natural - but even if it is our fault, we can't do anything about it, so we'll all just have to sit back and take it like a man.
What a load of BS!
Just more "political science" floated as "real science."
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Mar 13, 2007 at 11:22 pm
"One particular...
Actually I think that's part of the hyperbole you should ignore ;^)
The science presented is a plausible explaination that deserves the light of day. The bias in the piece as to motivations are speculation.

I had the best experience with this apartment during my stay (in April 2016) The staff welcomed me in a way that I felt at home immediately and during my time there all of them were extremly helpfull and really friendly at any time! The location of the apartments is in a perfect position: you reach most of the tourist-attractions in a short walk of 10-15 minutes, also a small supermarket is opposite the street that covers all your daily needs, as well there is a good (vegetarian!!) restaurant closeby in the same street, a nice bar on the other side of the street and a metro-station within a short walk of about 3 minutes! The apartment itself was extremly clean and with nice furniture! I was lucky enough and had an apartment with a window to the backyard - so it was quiet inside at any time of the day/night! I can highly recommend these apartments - I would book it again at any time ... if I am lucky enough to return to the beautiful city of Prague ...
We had a really great time there. Beautiful and clean apartment, friendly staff. Overall a great experience.
Everything was clean, organized, and functional. I enjoyed my stay at the apartment and it was for a great price too. Also, the bathroom floor was heated! Thumbs up!
A great location if you want somewhere that is near public transport (tram and metro) and also close enough to walk into the city if you are fit and have plenty of energy. The apartment was spacious and very warm for December, kitchen quite adequate and light cleaning was provided daily. Having transport arranged from and to the airport was very convenient.
The real asset to these apartments are the desk staff who do a really wonderful job day and night. Helpful and polite they are the best advertisement the place could have and deserve the highest praise.
If you are travelling near to Christmas there are plenty of sites with Christmas villages and at least two within easy walking distance. If you want to visit places such as the castle or Kafka museum the 22 tram departs only 50 meters from the door.
The apartment was simply great! Big and well furnished, extremely clean and cosy. Boys and girls at the reception were great too helping us find our way through the discovery of Prague!.
Close to the metro, close to the city center and really easy to reach also from the airport.
We loved this wonderful apartments in the center of Prague! So close to subway ad tram. Also the apartment was brand new, warm, roomy, clean... We couldn't ask for more
The hotel is so beautiful! It was amazing, the room is small but perfect for a citytrip. It is located very cetral and the metro is very near to the hotel.
The breakfast is a little bit too small but it is ok for this price. The room was always cleand and the reception is very friendly.
If I would travel to prague again, I would always stay at the royal court hotel!
Clean room, although a little small but perfect for what we needed & well furnished. Friendly & helpful staff members. If I was to be picky I would say the breakfast could have been a little better, with more variety each day but apart from that I was happy overall.
The stay at Praque was a wonderful time.
It is a beautiful apartment and it includes everything what you need!
It was clean, tidy and nicely furnished.
I would recommend it to any one to stay there. The people are very friendly and it is also very close by the city. My friend and I were able to go everyday by foot to the town ( To the city of Prague).
So altogether it's a great house with lots of nice people and a good location to have a wonderful stay in Prague.
As always fantastic service!! The staff was very helpful and professional. I must say I loved this apartment a LOT more than the other apartment we stayed in last time. Less road noise. I also loved how there was a separate bedroom. Very clean room. The bathroom was very nice.

Nice apartment not far from Cefalu in a quiet environment and historic. Large, deep swimming pool with sea views. Nearby are the beaches.
A nice place to be recommended for those who want to explore the northern part of Sicily. Palermo is one hour for example.
Apartamento grazioso a poca distanza da Cefalù in un'ambiente tranquillo e storico. Grande e profonda piscina con vista sul mare. Nelle vicinanze si trovano delle spiagge.
Un bel posto da raccomandare per chi vuole esplorare la parte nord della sicilia. Palermo per esempio dista un'ora.

GLAD800 drill rig assembled at the marine on Bear Lake near Garden City, Ut
The GLAD800 (Global Lake Drilling to 800 m) drill rig assembled at the marina on Bear Lake, Utah/Idaho. This rig (now named the D/V Kerry Kelts) consists of 8, 20' standard international shipping containers filled with foam and water (separated by an air bag) and connected at the corners. The drill rig is a standard CS-1500 diamond coring rig that has been extensively modified to accommodate standard Ocean Dilling Project (ODP) tools including hydraulic piston core (HPC) and diamond core bits for sampling sediments of different composition and stiffness. Sediment is collected in standard ODP plastic liners. The barge was designed to anchor in water depths up to 200 m, although it now can accommodate dynamic positioning (outboard motors) for coring in deeper water. The system is modular and can be transported in the 20' shipping containers all over the world and to remote locations. The GLAD800 system is owned and operated by DOSECC, headquartered in Salt Lake City (www.dosec.org).

Hi all, I'm new here & was wondering if anybody could shed some light on this subject for me?
My husband recently started driving for a small flatbed company in SD that does quite a bit of bee hauling. He's new at it and it's been quite the learning experience for him- yes, he does get out of the truck & has his own nets and such....he's much braver than I would be!
Anyway, he's been told by several people experienced in bee hauling that he is "exempt" from federal Hours of Service regulations & does not have to keep a logbook when he's hauling bees. I drove OTR for 5 yrs and he has been out here almost 6....and neither of us really trust that "advice" at face value. As far as I know, there aren't any hours-of-service exceptions for interstate tractor-trailer drivers outside of a 100 mile radius of their home base....
As far as I can tell, people are using part 391.2 of the FMCSR as their basis for saying "bee-haulers don't have to keep a logbook":
"(b) Apiarian industries. The rules in this part do not apply to a driver who is operating a commercial motor vehicle controlled and operated by a beekeeper engaged in the seasonal transportation of bees."
But the way this is worded....it sounds like it only applies if the BEE-KEEPER himself (or herself) is the person driving the truck?
Plus, the hours-of-service regulations are in part 395 of the FMCSR, so if the rules in part 391 don't apply to bee-haulers, it still has nothing to do with keeping a logbook.
So....I was wondering if anybody here has spent time hauling bees (their own or somebody elses) long distances in a tractor-trailer & has any solid knowledge of this rule. Or, if you ship with outside trucking companies, maybe you could find a driver who isn't TOO full of bull dung (gotta look hard!) to clarify this for me.
In the meantime, husband is going to play it safe & follow the logbook rules as he understands them . As an aside, his new job has actually gotten me interested in beekeeping as a possible future hobby. Never knew much about it until I snagged his Dadant catalog that he brought home when his boss took him to buy his bee suit . So I'm happy to have found this forum!

Patriots fall to DL, Pierz
The Pequot Lakes boys' basketball team dropped to 2-3 overall with a 73-46 Mid-State Conference loss at Detroit Lakes on Friday, Dec. 14, and a 47-40 non-conference setback against the visiting Pierz Pioneers on Tuesday, Dec. 11.
The Patriots, 1-1 in the Mid-State Conference, were scheduled to be at Park Rapids for a Mid-State game on Tuesday, Dec. 18, and then play at Pine River-Backus on Thursday, Dec. 20.
Detroit Lakes 73, Patriots 46
On Friday, Dec. 14, the host Lakers assumed an early lead and held off Pequot Lakes by outscoring the Patriots 37-20 in the second half.
Ryan Cihak scored a game-high 19 points for Detroit Lakes while Tyler Tappe led the Patriots with nine points.
The Lakers had a 24-23 edge in rebounds. Jordan Redmond led the Patriots with six assists and four blocks.
"We had a six-point lead with six minutes left in the first half, but (Detroit Lakes) went on a 17-1 run to close out the half," Pequot Lakes coach Garry Grewe said. "We made way too many turnovers, and weren't able to get the ball in to Jordan (Redmond)."
Grewe added that a difference in the game was 24 turnovers by the Patriots to 14 for the Lakers, and Pequot Lakes 3-for-11 shooting from the free-throw line.
Detroit Lakes 36 37 — 73
Pequot Lakes 26 20 — 46
Kirk McLeod 10, Corbin Duncan 4, Christian Hedstrom 7, Jackson Lyngaas 11, Nolan Singer 6, Derek Long 5, Ryan Cihak 19, Sam Champa 2, Nick Groth 3, Karter Smith 2, Austin Eiter 4. FT 10-11 (91 percent). (FG 27-49 (55 percent).
Brett Peterson 5, Kevin Beltz 2, John Craig 2, Wes Mumm 7, Michael Ryan 4, Jordan Redmond 4, Tyler Tappe 9, Brandon Hehir 4, Nic Olmscheid 3, Travis Jacobson 6. FT 3-11 (27 percent). FG 20-42 (48 percent).
Pierz 47, Patriots 39
On Dec. 11, the Pioneers improved to 3-0 overall with a win over Pequot Lakes as Cullin Carter netted 17 points and Ben Boser added 14. Tappe led the Patriots with 14 points while Travis Jacobson had 10.
The opening minutes were close until Boser nailed a pair of three-point baskets to give the Pioneers a 17-10 lead. Pequot Lakes did cut the deficit to 17-14 at the half.
The Patriots remained within striking distance in the first five minutes of the second half before Carter scored 11 straight points to give the visitors a 41-30 lead. Pierz later led 44-32 in the final minutes before Pequot Lakes rallied on a 15-foot basket by Jacobson, a three-point play by Tappe and a three-point shot by Kevin Beltz. But the Pioneers held on for a seven-point win.
"We played hard, and kept it close by playing good defense," Grewe said. "We're still having our troubles putting it in the hoop."
Pierz 17 30 — 47
Pequot Lakes 14 25 — 39
Mitch Bednar 2, Ben Boser 14, Jess Kasper 7, Josh Templin 3, Cullin Carter 17, Matt Athman 4. FT 9-14 (64 percent).
Kevin Beltz 2, Wes Mumm 2, Michael Ryan 2, Jordan Redmond 9, Tyler Tappe 14, Travis Jacobson 10. FT 5-12 (42 percent).

Central Oregonians tour Pole Creek Fire area
Discuss fire ecology, forest management, plans for restoration
SISTERS, Ore. - They'd read about it, they'd seen the videos on the news, and they endured a late summer of smoke-filled skies.
But on Friday, a group of 50 Central Oregonians got to see the devastation of the Pole Creek Fire with their own eyes.
"There was actually more green areas than I might of thought," said Sisters resident Pat Kearney.
The Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project and other forest and nature partners opened up portions of the fire area to the public for a special tour and series of talks.
"(We want to) foster a dialogue and create an opportunity for shared learning for the role of fire in our forest systems," said organizer Pete Caligiuri of The Nature Conservancy.
The group loaded up in a bus and toured for different areas in the fire zone. Each stop had a different discussions: the history of fires in Central Oregon, fire ecology, the effects of the blaze and the efforts for forest restoration.
"We're trying to help them understand why we're doing this proposal, what the objectives are and what the impacts and benefits will be," said Forest Supervisor John Allen.
Allen is talking about the proposed salvage logging of about one thousand aces in the fire zone
"When I first came here I thought it should all be mother nature, but I've learned a lot more living in this area, I think we do need to help," said Kearney about how she supports forest officials helping the forest recover.
A few people on the group said they learned a lot--but Caligiuri said it's not only about giving lectures to the public.
"(We want the public to share their perspective on how they've seen forests change, there's a lot to be heard and learned from the public," he said.
And Kearney said she's pleased to see new life is already returning to the area.
"There's a lot of hope there," Kearney said. "I like to see it as it comes along, this is sort of year one, and you're already seeing green things, so that's really neat."
It's a sight Kearney had to see for herself, because photographs can't really capture it.

Is Alamo a frightening example for other incorporations?
Original post made by Community courtesy, another community, on Apr 23, 2009
During this evening, the list of proposed incorporations and their committees have been contacting Alamo region neighborhoods through municipal law council to understand why incorporation failed in Alamo. These committees are concerned that Alamo is benchmark for voters' concerns for the fiscal crisis.
As counsel explained, Alamo was not a community seeking incorporation and had a separate committee of strangers to the majority of voters that pursued their own incorporation proposal. Without community, and its community, incorporation failed in the hands of strangers to the majority in the Alamo region.
In Alamo, incorporation is not dead, but we have to become a community in our mutual support of a well-defined, inclusive incorporation proposal. Just give us time to get a proper job done of incorporation.
Any comments?

Dear Dolores,
Discussions of forms of Municipal Advisory Councils (MAC) for the Alamo region will occur today in Alamo region discussion groups meetings. Discussions will focus on three proposals now in distribution.
AIM participants have defined a MAC and nominated council members to bring a more open public discussion of Alamo's issues under Brown Act rules.
Individual incorporation proponents have defined a MAC that would eliminate local politicians and their agendas for Alamo.
Regional neighborhoods have defined a regional planning commission for Saranap, Rudgear, Tice Valley and Alamo with current county advisory committees as sub-committees of the commission. **Readers should note that this proposal is meant as formation efforts for defined incorporation as a city in the Alamo region**
Certainly, these proposals deserve commentary by your Forum readers including commentary by other communities pursuing incorporation.

[quote user="bflo23"]Fleener runs 40 yard dash in very slow 4.8 sec.
Graham runs 40 yard dash in like 4.4 sec.
How do you figure this? Fleener hasent even ran the 40. But on the field he looks like he runs somewhere in the high 4.5- mid 4.6 range.
Graham ran a 4.53, Gronk ran a 4.68.
Anywhere in between those two times is wonderful.
For more comparison, Fleener is one inch taller and 6 pounds lighter than Shockey was when he was drafted. Very similar size wise.

Athletes from around the world hit the ground running for the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 3. This is the first time in more than a year that runners have raced through the five boroughs. Last year's marathon was canceled in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. This year, a record 50,740 runners took part in the celebrated 26.2-mile race.
Winning Big
Kenya's Priscah Jeptoo, 29, won the title for the women's race. She crossed the finish line at 2:25:07 and maintained an overall pace of 5:33 per mile. Jeptoo beat Bronx resident Buzunesh Deba with an impressive final kick. In 2011, the last time the NYC Marathon was held, Deba, 26, also finished second.
In the men's race, Kenya's Geoffrey Mutai, 32, came in first at 2:08:24. He pulled away from his fellow countryman Stanley Biwott in the last few miles to take the lead. Mutai broke the course record in 2011. "To win this course twice, it's not easy," Mutai said. "For me, it's a glory."
Paralympic track medalist Tatyana McFadden, 24, won the wheelchair portion in 1:59:13 with a mile pace of 4:33. This was McFadden's fourth win this year—she also won the London, Boston, and Chicago marathons. No other athlete has won those four competitions in a year's span. She is the first person to complete a wheelchair marathon Grand Slam.
Tightened Security
Marathon officials ramped up security efforts in New York for the 2013 race in response to April's Boston Marathon bombing. Barricades blocked off much of Central park, and fans waited in bag-check lines to get in. Along with surveillance helicopters, about 1,500 cameras were installed along the marathon route to watch activity. Bomb-sniffing dogs were on site to alert police of any nearby danger. And scuba divers scanned bridges and shorelines to make sure they were safe for runners. Security was tight from the moment crowds arrived. But runners, professional and amateur, said they felt safe on the course.
On a day that normally fills the city with joy and celebration, the success of Sunday's New York City Marathon was also surrounded by feelings of relief and hope. To honor Boston victims, this year's course lines included yellow—the color of the Boston route.
Near the NYC finish line, Ashley O'Brien from Brooklyn was ready with a bullhorn to cheer on runners. She got teary-eyed remembering the events of the past year.
"It's a nice time to all come back together," she said. "You still remember why it was canceled last year and you remember Boston. So it's a little bittersweet."

Thank you for everything.
I will recomend this appartment without any doubt.
The Flat was nice and clean, enough space in the flat for 4 Adults. 10min Train ride to köln City centre. Would use the flat again when making another trip to köln.
Great location, terrific hosts and spacious apartment. Perfect for Köln fair visitors/exhibitors.
The apartment is absolutely top class, very large and newly furnished, centrally located, yet quiet as in a holiday village. 5 min to the S-Bahn, we will definitely be back,
Die Wohnung ist absolute Spitze, supergroß und neu eingerichtet, zentral gelegen und trotzdem still,wie in einem Feriendorf. 5 min zur SBahn, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder,
Very nice apartment. Super spacious. Quiet. Really close to shops. Host super nice, gives good advice.
Highly recommended.
Attention in the French translation, it is not noted that the beds are made and there are towels. Do not burden yourself unnecessarily!
Très bel appartement. Super spacieux. Quartier calme. Vraiment proche des commerces. Hôte super sympa, donne de bons conseils.
Vraiment à conseiller.
Attention, dans la traduction française, il n'est pas noté que les lits sont faits et qu'il y a des serviettes de bain. Ne vous encombrez pas inutilement!
A very nice place to stay. Everything is very new and tastefully decorated. Landlords are very helpful and nice.
Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Alles ist sehr neu und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Vermieter sind sehr hilfsbereit und nett.
We have felt ourselves very well. Would love to come again. The apartment is very spacious and bright. Everything is there that you need. Nice landlord.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Kommen gern wieder. Die Wohnung ist sehr hell und geräumig. Alles da, was man braucht. Nette Vermieter.
It was great! Great apartment and thank you for the kind hospitality! We will be back :)
Es war toll! Super Wohnung und vielen Dank für die liebe Gastfreundlichkeit! Wir werden wiederkommen :)
The place was absolutely brilliant, even better than I expected. Very modern build, plenty of room (the bathroom is massive) and very comfortable.
Even though it is above the owners' house it felt very private and like our own.
It's just 10 minutes to the centre of Cologne and I have no doubt you will not find a better place for this price in or around the city.
Doris and especially her husband (Sorry, I'm bad with names) were very friendly and welcoming and answered every question we asked regarding the local area very well.
Would definitely stay again if I had to stay near Cologne in the future.
