Capra joins KSU women's bball staff
Kansas State women's basketball head coach Jeff Mittie finalized his staff on Tuesday by adding Jacie Capra as the team's recruiting coordinator.
Capra joins a K-State staff that features associate head coach Brian Ostermann, assistant coach Ebony Gilliam and assistant coach Claire Coggins.
"I wanted somebody that continued to improve our ability to recruit across the state of Kansas," Mittie said in a press release about Capra. "Jacie grew up in the gym. Her mom is one of the legendary coaches in the state. I wanted somebody that had that background from the time she was born and Jacie has that. She has the energy, drive and passion to be an excellent coach.
"I was impressed with what she has done to further improve her coaching every single year. Her job will be to coordinate all of our recruiting operations on campus. She will be the liaison between young players across the state for our camps and the coaches, both AAU and high school, not just across the state of Kansas but nationwide."
Capra (formerly Hoyt) returns to the state of Kansas after a four-year stint at Nevada, with the last three seasons as an assistant coach on Jane Albright's staff. As an assistant with the Wolfpack, Capra's responsibilities included scouting, recruiting, point-guard development, equipment, scout team management and summer camp coordinator.
Prior to her appointment as an assistant coach, Capra served as the team's director of basketball operations during the 2011-12 season.
"I am so thankful for the opportunity to be here and to be back in the state of Kansas," Capra said in the release. "The people are just unbelievable. They are warm. They are welcoming. They all take so much pride in this university. To get to be a part of this special group of people, especially here in Manhattan, is something I am really excited about and looking forward to.
"I am also really excited for the opportunity to work with Coach Mittie and learn from him. He is somebody I have always respected in the game of basketball. He is one of the most well-respected coaches in the country in terms of Xs and Os. I am really excited to learn a new philosophy and a new system from him."
As the head coach at Wichita State, Albright recruited Capra out of high school in Hoxie, where she played basketball for her mother and coach Shelly Hoyt. Capra was a three-time all-state performer in volleyball and basketball, as well as a state champion in multiple track events.
As a senior for Hoxie, the first-team all-class selection averaged 28.4 points per game, 7.4 assists per game, 6.3 rebounds per game and 6.1 steals per game. Capra had one of the most prolific scoring careers in state history, scoring 2,016 points in just three years after missing her entire freshman season with an injury. Her career average of 26.6 points per game is sixth in career scoring average for the state of Kansas.
Capra's college career was haunted by injuries, allowing her to play only two of seasons for the Shockers. As a freshman, Capra led the team in assists, was second in free-throw attempts and fourth in scoring. As a sophomore, she was named team captain, while also earning the Iron Shocker Award. Capra continued to distribute the ball to her teammates, as she ranked fourth in the Missouri Valley in assists, while averaging a positive assist/turnover ratio.
In addition to her success on the court, Capra was also a standout in the classroom, landing on the Missouri Valley, Athletic Director, and Dean's honor rolls from 2006-08 with the Shockers. Capra graduated Cum Laude with a degree in general studies from Wichita State in 2009.

Suit Against Michael Moore Dropped
Michael Moore is out of hot water–at least until his next expose. Reuters reports:
A U.S. federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit by an Iraq war veteran who claimed filmmaker Michael Moore used the veteran's image without permission in the anti-war documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." According to court papers, Judge Douglas Woodlock of U.S. District Court in Massachusetts dismissed the suit on Wednesday. It had sought $35 million in damages from Moore, as well as Miramax, which is owned by Walt Disney Co. and several other film companies.
However, the rest of America is still waiting for some closure on the Iraq war itself…oh that's right, it's STILL GOING ON.

Yohan Cabaye On Joe Kinnear's Role In Fail Arsenal Move – 'If He Is Honest, He Will Tell It'
Written By: dunny|
Oct 8, 2013
~~ Whoa. How telling are these quotes from Yohan Cabaye….. Listen, we all get it. Every single player (if they are honest) plays for the opportunity to play at the highest level and when they do get to the highest level, it's about joining the Champions League teams in their respective leagues. That's what Yohan Cabaye wanted, but he deserves plenty of respect for how he's handled the situation.
via SkySports
Yohan Cabaye claims that Newcastle's director of football Joe Kinnear is the only person who can explain what happened about his proposed move to Arsenal.
The French international refused to play at the start of the season, after Arsenal made a bid on the eve of the new season.
Newcastle rebuffed the bid and Cabaye later apologised to the fans over the situation.
Cabaye, now back in the France squad, was asked about his failed Arsenal move by the media in his homeland during a press conference for the national side.
He said: "Was my failed transfer to Arsenal difficult to swallow? At first, yes.
"But you have to quickly get focused again, because if you go on thinking about it you have a grudge against a lot of people and that is useless. I quickly forget about it and go back to work."
Yohan Cabaye On Joe Kinnear's Role In Failed Arsenal Move…….
Cabaye insists that he does not hold anything against some Newcastle fans who booed him upon his return.
"The fans' state of mind was due to what the club wanted to let them know," he said.
"As I didn't talk and I won't give any explanation about what happened, they chose their side. That is part of a career, but I bear no grudge against no one. I accept it, it is in the past."
Cabaye admitted that only Kinnear could reveal the truth behind the situation.
He said: "The only person who can explain what happened is Joe Kinnear. If he is honest, he will tell it. Otherwise it will not get out of my mouth."
Cabaye admits he is delighted to be back in the French squad.
He added: "I missed the French team, but my situation made me not callable for some time.
"Now that I am back the objective is to stay as long as possible, with the hope of going to play next at World Cup in June."

The Forest of Conflict
All About
The way we communicate our feelings, especially negative feelings, can have a huge impact on our relationships. The ability to effectively communicate our feelings, needs, opinions, and desires provides the bedrock for establishing healthy relationships. If I am constantly communicating my needs in an angry way, I will likely develop few close relationships. I may, in fact, create enemies. Likewise, if I never communicate my opinions, positive or negative, I will start to feel frustrated in my relationships, because my needs will not be heard and therefore will not be met. Assertiveness is the communication point between being aggressive and being passive.
Really Healthy Assertiveness Research
The relationship between assertiveness and well-being has been recognized in psychology since at least 1958 (Wolpe):
Likewise, lack of assertiveness has been found to result in anxiety, disappointment, anger, social isolation and physical symptoms.
Positive assertion is letting others know what you would like to have happen (Could I borrow some sugar?) or things that you've really appreciated (I really enjoyed your letter).
Finally, we can be assertive and take the initiative in offering an apology, disagreeing in a conversation, or simply ending an interaction. These may not be as dramatic a type of assertion as asking someone to stop leaving their dirty socks in the living room, but they help to give us a greater sense of control & personal honesty in our daily interactions.
Passive/Aggressive/Assertive Communication Styles
Let's work through an everyday example to see what passive, aggressive, passive/aggressive and assertive statements look like. Imagine that you have just come home from work. You find that your partner/roommate has not picked up his/her dirty socks from yesterday or several days prior to that.
Patrick Passive might say, "If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could put your socks in the wash?" Alternately, he might say nothing, just to avoid the conflict. His tone of voice might be soft and questioning.
Amelia Aggressive might say, "Put your #$* socks in the #$* wash. You are such a slob. The house looks like a pigsty, because of you." Her tone of voice might be loud and grating, and her posture might be intimidating (fists, eyes glaring).
Passive/Aggressive Susan might say, "I don't mind picking up your socks and putting them in the wash for you," but then "accidentally" mix the white socks with a red shirt. Her initial tone might be soft and overly nice.
Arthur Assertive might say, "I feel very frustrated when I come home and your socks are on the floor. I would really like it if you would pick up your socks and put them in the wash. The house would look a lot better." His voice would likely be firm, moderately loud, and his posture would be relaxed, but straight.
Think about your reactions to each of the statements as you read them. Which statement would make you more likely to change your behaviour? Most of us respond best to assertive statements. Aggressive statements tend to put us on the defensive and to make us angry. Generally anger and defensiveness don't lead to behaviour change! Passive/Aggressive behaviour is often quite confusing for the person on the receiving end. It is hard to know what the passive/aggressive person really thinks or wants. Passive statements can result in no action, because the other person may not believe the problem is serious.
For more information on the differences among these types of communication, have a look at the table below. Can you see yourself in any of them?
Passive, Aggressive, Passive-Aggressive and Assertive Communication Styles
Contributions for table from Gambrill (1995) and Arthritis Society (2002)
Self-AssessmentThis is a checklist of assertiveness to help you identify your level of assertiveness. Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 5 in each of the areas. You can also ask a trusted friend to give you feedback on your style.
Body Language: What do I look like?
Tone of Voice: How do I sound?
Guidelines for effective content: What I say in everyday non-threatening situations
(Table taken from Eileen Gambrill in O'Donahue and Krasner, 1995, Handbook of Psychological Skills Training, p. 103 )
How To's
When you are first learning to be more assertive, it can be helpful to use a formula or script. By putting your words into the formula, you can see what you might be missing or what you might want to leave out. A common assertiveness script is the following:
I feel like _____ when you ______, and so I would like you to consider____.
An example from earlier in this section was, "I feel very frustrated when I come home and your socks are on the floor. I would really like it if you would pick up your socks and put them in the wash. The house would look a lot better."
Let's look at it in a bit more detail:
(Steps modified from Girdano, Everly, Dusek, 1997; Rakos, 1991 as cited in Gambrill, 1995)
If you have a specific incident that you would like to handle assertively, try preparing your statement ahead of time. Write it down, try it out on someone else, review it in your head. Remember that when you are speaking assertively with someone, you are not trying to release all the resentment that's been building up for days or weeks. Find other ways to blow off this steam before you try to communicate assertively with someone.
It is often difficult to be assertive. When we are used to being Aggressive, it can feel that we are being too "soft" when we are assertive. When we are used to being Passive, it can feel that we are being far too demanding – maybe no one will like us! When we are used to being Passive/Aggressive, it feels very risky to talk to someone directly about our needs.
Many people worry that when they begin to practise being assertive that they will go too far. This rarely happens. Occasionally a passive person will learn about assertiveness & will overuse it (it feels so good to find one's voice!), but that generally settles down with a bit of time. More often the passive person ends up becoming somewhat more assertive, but no where near the aggressive end of the continuum. Checking with trusted friends or family about how you're communicating can be helpful feedback during this transition time.

Defensive Corners
All About
Many of us are, most of the time, flexible in how we respond to people. We can be more assertive in situations that require it and more diplomatic in others. We can retreat when a break is needed, and we can take charge when a leadership is required.
When our backs are against the wall, however, and we feel very threatened, we are likely to respond instinctively, and retreat to our "defensive corner." When we are in this corner, we are much less flexible, and are only able to respond in one way, be it angry, retreating, conciliatory, or over-controlling. These events often stick out to us in our memories, because we feel that we responded badly, or that we were "stuck," or that we reverted back to old habits that we thought we'd put behind us.
These defensive corners are often leftover from childhood patterns of responding. If you learned as a child that the only way you could survive as the youngest in a family of four was to fight strongly for everything that you needed, you are likely to find that same pattern coming out when you are backed into a corner as an adult. These patterns were survival patterns, and as such we need to honour and respect them. They helped us to survive difficult situations as children, and likely continue to protect us as adults. Because of our lack of flexibility when we are stuck in a particular defensive corner, however, they can also create major difficulties for us.
Let's say that Joe disagrees with one of his colleagues, Bob, at work about the process of handling work orders. Joe is brave and decides to talk to Bob about procedures he feels could improve the process. If Joe is lucky, and approaches Bob in a respectful fashion, his colleague will listen and discuss it with him. Joe will understand Bob's process better, Bob will understand Joe's suggestions, and the work orders may end up being handled more efficiently.
Let's say, however, that Joe approaches Bob, and Bob doesn't really listen to him. Joe tries again, perhaps a bit more forcefully, and Bob begins to feel threatened and withdraws. Joe attempts to seek out Bob again, but Bob's door seems to be shut most of the time, and he's too "busy" to respond to Joe's phone calls. Bob and Joe are now in a relational stalemate, and Bob, in particular, is in a "defensive corner."
The Four Defensive Corners
One model that is very useful in thinking about our defensive corners was developed by Liz White, a Psychodrama facilitator (the text in this section draws freely and with permission from her materials – see her web site address at the bottom of this section and in the Thanks section).
The four corners represent our defensive styles. The inner circle represents our flexible self. When we are in the circle, we are able to be flexible. We can sample from all 4 different approaches, and use elements of those styles to help us in different situations. For example, when we need to be assertive in saying "No," we might need to borrow a bit from the Annihilator. When a consumer on the phone is being unreasonable, we might need to draw on some of the Accommodator skills. The first scenario in the example above is of two people who are both in the inner circle, and staying flexible. When we feel threatened, and move into our defensive corners, however, we lose our flexibility, and simply respond, often in an unhelpful way, and sometimes in potentially damaging ways.
As you can tell from their names, the four defensive corners are characterized by markedly different interpersonal styles.
Although our defensive corners can be problematic for us, these tendencies, when used in a flexible way, are necessary in our relationships. The defensive corner is an over-developed role. The balanced developed role contributes uniquely to a group. So, for example, the person who can sometimes react as an annihilator, when they are grounded, brings leadership, courage, willingness to speak the truth, advocacy, challenge, etc. to a group. The person who might be tempted to accommodate out of fear, when they are grounded are flexible, caring, inclusive, and keepers of process as much as product. The person who can retreat to a cave in desperation can teach us how to step back and reflect, NOT to intervene, to take timeout, and to let others sort things out sometimes. They also are not afraid to leave a situation when it becomes unfitting. The person who controls is also the person who manages, who has the overview and keeps the group true to its agendas and its values, and sets boundaries. You'll see these flexible aspects of our defensive corners in the diagram, just on the edges of the circle, nearest to its own corner.
What's my Defensive Corner a worksheet on identifying your defensive pattern
Defensive Corner Visualization use visualization and clay to befriend your defensive corner
How To's
Moving Toward the Centre, Toward Flexibility
Because these patterns have been with us since childhood, they are very well-worn grooves in our brains – it's like water following a stream bed. If we want to follow a different groove, we'll need to practise, and give ourselves lots of chances.
Steps to Conflict Resolution
We've talked a lot about conflict in the inflexible defensive corners. At times, however, we can be flexible, and yet get into conflicts that are difficult to sort out. These steps can be helpful to work through with the other person, or sometimes on your own to find out what your next step could be. These same steps work when we are faced with almost any type of problem.
Defining the conflict is also critical. Sometimes we take on very large, vague issues that are not resolvable. Defining a conflict can assist us in being able to brainstorm some possible solutions. When you do move on to considering different options to resolve the issue, work hard to keep an open mind, and be willing to try solutions that were not your first choice.
Once you've chosen a solution, give it a fair test. It is easy to sabotage any plan, but often takes more patience to make something new work. Make sure that you build in an evaluation component and time frame. If people have concerns about the solution, they can engage in the trial more wholeheartedly if they know it will be evaluated. When you evaluate the solution, look at all the pros and cons, and try to accept or reject it based on the evidence. Consider adopting a part of the solution that did work, and modifying aspects that did not.

The most comprehensive failure story ever written?
The killer is that I think she's just gonna give you a one sentence response if you text her something like, "How are you, cinderella", you can just tell something is damaged here and you're fighting for it too much. PUA reality is harsh, and you chose to lead this kind of life, i'm sorry but you can't be like any hollywood drunk schmuck and dive head first into cascades of open displays of love for this girl, because if you look back this approach has crashed and burned before, at your expense and pain. Really, you either should send her a farewell text, wish her all the best and tell her you can see her doing big things, accomplishing all the dreams she's ever had and that you hold no regrets over your actions or feelings for her, you're only human and that maybe one day through sheer serendipity you might bump into each other in a video game store again. Make it polished, don't be like a lumbering baby, it's gotta be like Clark Gable before he left that woman, "Frankly my dear, I just don't give a damn". But with decorum as it's driving force, she'll respect you tremendously for this (not to mention you've used future projections) and will either try to rake up the good memories she's had with you and force herself to get in touch, or let you go, perpetually carrying you as an albatross round her neck. Move on, but be classy BRAH!

Kat was the first girl I ever got results from using this stuff with, so I guess that's why I fell so hard.
But I think I'm just gonna text her soon, like nothings the matter and try to recalibrate what we had...she is still with her new boyfriend though, and in a way I don't want to actually be with her anymore. But I think in order to truely move on I need to have her in my life some how, so I know she's alright...sounds lame I know!

I know how ur feeling man, this is the problem with becoming friends first. Friendship really complicates things doesn't it? At the same time, you have to remember HB are common. Girls u can find all the time...but this girl...
This girl seems to be a rare one for you. I'm gonna be honest with you tho, she's a bitch for sending so many mixed signals. Regardless of wheter you didn't make the move in time, she has the chance to do something too, she's free enough with other guys no?
Also remember this, friends can be common too! You can make new friends, in fact most friendships are temporary. Your soulmate, the love of ur life, is extremely rare. If she's the ONE then you gotta focus on making urself better so when she grows up and matures a bit, she will see you go the prize you are. I'm in a similar situation myself, I found myself thinking about this girl all the time and fantasizing about how good we would be together.
Truthfully, you want to engage urself i.n other activities to lose focus on her...sports, sarging, whatever. Improve urself. If u do pickup do it to improve ur social skills, not only to get babes in bed. I hope it works out for you though. U can recover from a broken and currently broken heart. What u will NEVER recover from is regret. If she's the one, do everything in your control to win her heart.

Strangely enough there is an update!
Last Saturday was going to be the first time I saw her since we had our sit down talk about the whole situation. The first time I would see her since she broke me.
She was going out for a friend of ours birthday. I was in the same town that night, and knew it would be impossible to avoid her.
I enter the bar where I'm meeting with the birthday group. I immediately go to the bathrooms.
"Your super cool. Your amazing. And your looking like a superstar. Let's go wow her panties off."
I walk down the stairs and make eye contact with my boss from work, he yells something to me...I don't hear it as in my peripheral vision I can see a white dress, held up by a stunning rack and hugging a tight body. It's her.
I don't look over, I remain looking at my boss but at the same time focused on Kat in the corner of my eye.
She looks my way.
And as if I'm some arch-demon she shoots off into the crowd, running away from any confrontation with me.
I play it cool and talk with friends, I go to the bar and order some liquid courage trying to come up with the words I'm gonna say to her.
But before I get a chance, the birthday party leaves...as does my opportunity for closure on the whole situation.
Since then she's back in my thoughts, crippling my ever growing game. I went out last night and didn't approach one set.
So back to the drawing board I guess....

Shit man. Sorry to hear that.
Do you know if she still is with that Ivan prick?
Don't let her affect your game man!
The most comprehensive failure story ever written?
I say forget all that crap, move to Florida (usa) and let me be your wing!
And great story, most enthralling thing I've read in a while. Plus mad respect to this community.
The most comprehensive failure story ever written?
From what I know she's still with Ivan, although I can't confirm it...being blocked on her facebook and all!!

Mirage Drive pond overflow explained
Rebuilt drainage channel, heavy rain cause Colorado Springs pond to spill into street
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - (TUESDAY, JULY 15)
Two city spokesmen said a pond that overflowed last weekend is designed to do so when it gets full from runoff after a heavy rain.
Corey Farkas, manager of the Streets Division, and Tim Mitros, the stormwater manager, explained the situation during Mayor Steve Bach's monthly media briefing.
Farkas and Mitros said the pond, which serves as a retention basin for the rebuilt drainage channel along Mirage Drive, was filled by the channel's larger capacity and as much as four inches of rain that fell in the area Saturday.
"The channel and the pond were doing their jobs," Farkas said. "We just had an exorbitant amount of rain that fell -- 3 1/2 to 4 inches in a very short period of time."
"There was a lot of hail, and hail was probably our biggest issue," Mitros said. "It starts plugging up inlets and knocks down the capacity in our system, is what happens."
Farkas and Mitros said the pond occasionally spills over onto part of Mirage Drive where it can flow into storm drains. They admit the recent overflow was heavier than normal.
"There's no need for us to do anything to the pond," Mitros said."
Part of Mirage Drive in the Briargate area of north Colorado Springs was closed Saturday because of apparent flooding from a nearby pond filled by a rebuilt drainage ditch.
"I've seen it do this before but not like this," said a neighbor who was walking his dog in the area late Saturday night.
The pond is a diversion or retention basin for runoff water from a drainage channel located between Rampart High School and the Preserve at Briargate neighborhood.
City engineers recently completed a two-year project costing $1.8 million to rebuild the channel. The channel previously could not handle heavy runoff and, on several occasions, eroded yards and flooded basements.
Many neighbors were unaware of the overflowing pond. They said a storm Saturday was the first test for the channel, and they came out to see how it fared.
"It got half to three-quarters full but it kept draining," said Bob Kelly, one of the neighbors. "The city did a fantastic job. We couldn't be more delighted."
Mike Chavez, a city engineer, said the channel is twice as large as it used to be. It's possible, then, that the pond has received more water than expected.

Mr Brumby is also expected to reveal leasing arrangements made or under negotiation with academic and industrial research organisations to pay for use of the synchrotron.
One of these is expected to be Melbourne University, although negotiations are said also to be well advanced with other research bodies in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.
Melbourne University vice-chancellor Professor Alan Gilbert said yesterday the university was willing to work with the state to develop "this immensely important piece of research infrastructure".
Construction of the synchrotron has begun on the site at Monash University, formerly the Clayton drive-in movie theatre. It is said to be on schedule to begin operations in 2007.
The decision to increase the capacity of the machine was made by the government on the advice of the scientists and engineers now working on the design at Monash.
They and government experts believe the "modest extra cost" involved in building a significantly bigger machine will greatly extend its capacity and the fields of research for which it can be used.
The changes will mean at least a doubling of the nine beamlines originally planned for the initial stage of the machine and an expansion of the power and types of research for which the machine can be used.
The main change is a big increase in the diameter of the ring that forms the largest part of the synchrotron, around which photons are accelerated to produce the intense light that scientists use to examine the molecular structure of proteins and other materials.
A bigger ring means fewer sharp bends in the light beams as the particles are accelerated, resulting in narrower and more powerful beams.

By: Derek Havens
On Tuesday, I participated in a debate with Bleacher Report's AFC East writer Erik Frenz. Erik and I spent awhile debating which position the Patriots need to add depth to in this April's draft. Check out the conversation below. –
Erik: The New England Patriots don't need to make a lot of major adjustments to their roster, yet the 2012 NFL Draft will allow them to make improvements in some ways. This is a team that was a play or two away from winning Super Bowl XLVI, so what's the best way to improve?
That's what the draft is all about for the Patriots. They don't usually look for guys who can contribute right away, but instead find guys who can be developed into their type of player and work their way up the totem pole.
But exactly which positions are in the most need of depth?
To debate the topic, we bring in a good friend Derek Havens of PatsFans.com, who can also be found on Twitter.
Since you're the guest, I'll let you lead us off.
Derek: Thanks for having me, Erik. For starters, I agree. The Patriots are a great football team, but there are some holes to fill on the roster.
From my perspective, positions in need of some young talent would be wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker and safety. While I believe the defense needs to be the priority in the upcoming NFL Draft, I would say the offensive line is the biggest position in need of young talent.
As the draft approaches, the offensive line seems to be more of a need than many people originally thought and it would be in New England's best interest to add some young offensive lineman this April.
Erik: Your list of five positions makes perfect sense, but I'd put safety square at the top of the list right ahead of offensive line.
The Patriots already added Steve Gregory, so you'd think it isn't as big of a need anymore, but injuries always take their toll. If you take away either Gregory or Patrick Chung, the Patriots are right back where they were last year at the safety position.
On the offensive line, the Patriots at least have some semblance of depth with the likes of Ryan Wendell (25), Nick McDonald (24) and Marcus Cannon (23). All have shown the ability to contribute on some level, and Dante Scarnecchia has worked with less. Eventually, some will have to step in for the likes of Dan Koppen, Brian Waters and Matt Light (who could retire this year), but the Patriots have a program in place that churns out talented offensive linemen.
Behind Chung and Gregory, the safeties consist of Sergio Brown (23), Ross Ventrone (25) and Josh Barrett (28). Never mind the ages, which are also indicative of a need for youth, but just look at the names. None of those guys make me feel good about the depth at safety.
The Patriots gave up over eight yards per attempt through the air in 2011; it was one the worst pass defenses from a statistical standpoint to ever make the Super Bowl, and though they were just a play or two short of winning it all, more depth at safety would give them an even better chance to do so.
Derek: Well, I am certainly not going to argue that the pass defense doesn't need help. Yes, Gregory was added, but he has been a average player at best throughout his career. I would argue the depth is at safety, and what the team really needs is a reliable, starting caliber player at that position. Unfortunately, Chung cannot stay on the field for a whole season and Gregory is ideally your third safety for depth and certain defensive packages.
Matt Light's potential retirement could make the offensive line a higher need than originally thought. (FILE:Icon/SMI)
On the offensive line, it's almost the opposite. Light, Mankins, Connolly, Waters and Solder are all very solid starters, although Light will most likely retire and with Connolly replacing Koppen, the domino effect is your best reserve lineman is now starting at the start of the season. Waters could retire, but I believe he stays around for another year. Robert Gallery was brought in and should provide a high level of value with Waters in question as well as Mankins recovering from last season's ACL tear.
I just look at the young, developmental lineman Scarnecchia has to work with and don't see a lot of potential outside of Marcus Cannon. Wendell is awful and he was benched last year. I don't believe the team needs to invest high on the offensive line, but I believe they should add two young prospects this April; specifically on the interior of the line.
Erik: My thought on it is that if the Patriots are faced with picking either a safety or an offensive linemen in the second or third round, safety should take precedence. Wendell may have been benched, but so was Sergio Brown…in favor of a special teams ace.
The thing about the offensive line is that Scarnecchia has made his reputation on turning no-name prospects like Steve Neal and Dan Koppen into stars. I trust his coaching in that area, and there are enough solid swing men available on the roster. I agree that safety is in need of a starter but the way those starters are discovered is usually by someone working their way up the depth chart. Unless Mark Barron falls to the Patriots at 27, I highly doubt the Patriots will draft a safety who could get on the field as a starter over Gregory, who started 22 games in the past two years.
There are arguments to be made on both sides, but the need for added talent at safety outweighs the offensive line.
Derek: I definitely would be in favor of Mark Barron coming to New England, but after Barron and Notre Dame's Harrison Smith, the talent level really drops off in this year's draft. The offensive line, however, is very strong and deep so a quality developmental project could be found in the middle rounds.
The argument can be made for both sides—and I think we would agree that both positions need depth—but we disagree on the priority. In any case, Bill Belichick and New England's front office has some work to be done this April. Hopefully, the team can address these needs and once again, make a title run next season.
Erik: Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, Derek, and with that, another great AFC East debate has drawn to a close. I'd like to thank you once again for joining me, and I welcome you back any time for another spirited debate over a Patriots topic.

A 14-year-old girl accused of leading police on a high-speed chase through Belconnen last night has had her bail continued.
The teen faced the ACT Children's Court earlier today charged with dangerous driving, driving unlicenced, failing to stop when directed and taking a motor vehicle without consent.
Police arrested the girl after allegedly spotting a white Mitsubishi Lancer speeding along Ginninderra Drive shortly before midnight.
It is alleged the officers flashed their lights and sounded the sirens but the driver refused to pull over, speeding away at speeds of almost 130km/h in an 80-zone.
But police said at the Mouat Street intersection the car sped through a red-light, lost control at a corner and crashed into a traffic island.
The girl was allegedly arrested at the scene but released on police bail to appear before Magistrate Karen Fryar today, where she did not enter pleas.
The matter is due back in court next month.
