By Nate Davis, USA TODAY
USA TODAY is writing Letters from Camp from all 32 NFL training camps over the next few weeks.
ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins can only hope they shed their reputation as "champions of the offseason" as quickly as Mike Williams is shedding weight.
The Buffalo Bills selected Williams, who played collegiately at Texas, with the fourth overall pick of the 2002 draft. And though offensive tackles like Williams tend to resemble AAA bonds on draft day — safe investments, if not sexy ones — his value tanked fairly quickly. After four unremarkable seasons in Buffalo, injuries and a healthy appetite drove Williams out of the NFL.
PHOTOS: NFL training camps
But that didn't deter the Redskins from taking a flyer on Williams, signing him in April and making him a fairly anonymous acquisition in another one of the team's typically pricey free-agent hauls.
Now they can only hope less is more for Williams, a man hoping he can make an unlikely bid to win a starting right tackle job that coach Jim Zorn says is up for grabs.
"He is in a real competitive situation to where he is going to want to be out there everyday and that's part of his return to the National Football League, and that is his quest of be a full time starter in the NFL," Zorn says of Williams. "It's going to take a lot of work on his part, and I know he's done the preliminary work to get that done."
In Williams' case, the preliminary work is easily quantified.
This February, he estimates he tipped the scales at 450 pounds.
But Williams reported to training camp Wednesday at 342 pounds, not svelte, but not outrageous in comparison to other NFL right tackles.
He cites a better diet and increased cardiovascular training as factors in reducing his frame.
"Walking away was frustrating, coming back is fulfilling," Williams says about resuming a career derailed by a bad back and an admitted lack of desire. But now he says he's "ready to go."
Though it may be tough to leap over anything at 342 pounds — Williams says he weighed 335 pounds when he arrived at Texas before becoming a consensus All-American — he's hoping he can leapfrog Stephon Heyer and Jeremy Bridges to stake a claim as the starter opposite Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels.
But Williams, who hasn't played an NFL game in four years, knows it will take time for his skills to round into the shape his transformed body has taken.
"There are some things that are a little rusty," he says, "some things that need to be polished."
But if he doesn't make an impact this year, it won't be for lack of effort.
"I'm not gonna allow my weight to be an issue," Williams says.
• The scene: The Redskins sweat out the summer at Redskins Park, 30 miles west of the White House. The team's headquarters is nestled in a wooded area surrounded by the golf courses, housing developments and strip malls of humid suburban Virginia. Zorn is "sequestering" players with three years or less NFL experience at a team hotel. Veterans with four or more seasons under their belt have the option of going home after practice each day.
• Reason to believe: The Redskins shelled out a $100 million free-agent contract to add all-pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to a defense that ranked fourth overall in 2008. He should help the unit that recorded an NFC-low 24 sacks while generating 18 takeaways (only two teams had fewer). On the other side, quarterback Jason Campbell can finally enjoy some continuity as he enters his second year in Zorn's offense. Campbell is optimistic that second-year receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly will have much larger impacts in 2009 after disappointing rookie seasons. If so, that could open the field for primary targets Santana Moss and Chris Cooley. Pro Bowl tailback Clinton Portis is a workhorse.
• Trouble spot: Where do the Redskins turn if Campbell falters heading into the final season of his contract? Backup Todd Collins is almost 38 and didn't throw a pass last year. And though he successfully led Washington to the playoffs in 2007 when Campbell was hurt, he was operating in Al Saunders' offense, which Collins had studied for years in Kansas City. Zorn likes Colt Brennan, but the second-year player is still raw and adapting to a pro-style offense after years of lighting up scoreboards in Hawaii. Zorn and Portis seem to have buried the hatchet after failing to see eye-to-eye late last season.
• Who's new: Haynesworth is the marquee addition for a team that annually signs marquee free agents. But if he continues to devastate opposing backfields and free up his teammates to make plays, a club that's won only two playoff games in the decade since owner Dan Snyder bought the team will have a leg up. Guard Derrick Dockery (five years, $26.5 million) returns after a two-year stint in Buffalo, replacing Pete Kendall. New Punter Hunter Smith should fix a lingering problem area. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall was re-signed to the tune of a $54 million over six years. Defensive end Jason Taylor, cornerback Shawn Springs and longtime tackle Jon Jansen were released.
• Positional battle: Zorn is hoping Thomas or Kelly steps up to start at flanker, allowing the team to move Antwaan Randle El to his more natural slot position. Heyer is trying to hang on to his right tackle job, and depth could be a problem on the O-line. The nickelback job is also unsettled.
• Rookie watch: Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo was taken with the 13th pick of the draft, and the Redskins are converting him into a linebacker. Coaches and players seem unanimously excited about Orakpo's skills. Third-rounder Kevin Barnes should help in the secondary and on special teams.
• On the mend: Zorn feels his team entered training camp almost completely healthy. Left defensive end Phillip Daniels, whose season-ending knee injury in camp last year led to the trade for Taylor, is back and feeling stronger than before. His run-stuffing presence is a key. Samuels is ready to go after an injury-riddled season ultimately cut short by operations on his triceps and knee. The team will also likely try to keep battered guard Randy Thomas, 33, fresh.

|The second Hop Festival Fundraiser went off with a blast at Shepherd Neame's Old Brewery Store venue, which the Faversham based brewery kindly gave to the Hop Festival 100% free for the night, and who continue to be a huge supporter of the main event in September. The night would have been nothing without the top musical talent which started with Narn, who first blew crowds away with her blend of country and blues at the Festival in 2015 at only eighteen years old. Faversham favorite Green Diesel followed giving us their modern and traditional folk songs, along with one written just for the Hop Festival. To end the night were local band Creek, who rocked the night away with their own material and some classic covers with the crowd demanding more. The band's gave their time away for the fundraiser along with the engineers from Triple A Events, plus three great prizes were won in the raffle, with each and every penny raised going towards The Faversham Hop Festival in 2016.

Views on eurozone inflation are converging. So too, views on GDP growth and unemployment. Headline rates were largely static from today's Q3 Survey of Professional Forecasters; GDP growth and unemployment both ticked down compared with the Q2 survey, but it was marginal.
But as these charts show, views among the 55 or so forecasters are converging, even if the one-decimal-place standard deviations don't show it.

MOONACHIE, N.J. (AP) — A deadly jet crash at a small airport outside New York City has dredged up dormant fears among residents who live within yards of where corporate jets take off and land.
A Learjet approaching Teterboro Airport smashed into an industrial area Monday afternoon, killing two crew members and damaging buildings. No one on the ground was injured. Federal investigators are scheduled to give an update on the crash Tuesday.
Residents of a community of trailer homes that sits across a street from the end of one of Teterboro's runways are accustomed to the sound of planes taking off and landing.

We all know the tale of Jett Black. He's the twink ballet dancer who had a brief foray into gay porn, debuting for Cocky Boys last March. But then Black was let go by his ballet school and defected from Cocky Boys to Lucas Entertainment (with or without some of Cocky Boy's company secrets, depending on who you believe). Now, the Village Voice is telling the story behind the story in a new piece. The weekly newspaper reveals the details of a deeper riff within the company and an ongoing rivalry with Lucas Entertainment. NYC porn producers are few and far between (with most of the industry operating out of Los Angeles and San Francisco), so the fact that these two major studios are competing is not surprising. But to have a young model (Black is only 23) come on the scene and cause such a commotion is.
In the excellent story, "The Island of Misfit Boys," writer Tessa Stuart interviews both Black and Cocky Boy's founder Jake Jaxson. While their accounts of exactly what happened to make their working relationship sour differ, they both agree that a lot of drama ensued. Exclusive Jake Bass is also quoted about last year's Grabby Awards (at which Cocky Boys won in numerous categories), saying "shit went down" that night. "Basically, everyone was done. We were ready to stop working for Cocky Boys."
Oh well, at least Jaxson is making the best of a bad situation by creating a new multiple-episode mini- series inspired by the incident with Black. Answered Prayers debuts this week at the Cocky Boys site. To read the full piece, click here.

'21' Secrets Uncovered Tour with Shelia M. Goss
"21" Secrets Uncovered by Shelia M. Goss
In honor of her 21st book being released today, Shelia decided to reveal 21 secrets or things you may not know about her.
1. When I was a teenager, me and one of my best friends had aspirations on being the next rapping duo like Salt N Pepa.
2. When in high school, me and one of my best friends performed a Mary Jane Girls song in a talent show.
3. Me and my best friend once snuck into an LL Cool J after party by pretending to be the relatives of someone attending the party.
4. I've always wanted my own radio show, "Quiet Storm with Oh Shelia."
5.. I once wrote for a few confessional magazines.
6. I used to have a crush on actor Don Johnson. I've watched every Miami Vice & Nash Bridges episode.
7. My bank account is like a roller coaster...it goes up and down and sometimes it flatlines.

A hot one-night stand could lead to a once-in-a-lifetime chance at love.
As the producer of one of TV's highest-rated shows, Kem Phillips has a knack for creating the perfect leading man. But love in real life? No thanks. She has no interest in repeating her mother's mistakes.
Thank goodness the star of her newest project is discreet. No one knows about the one-night stand they indulged in at her best friend's wedding. He's also a gentleman who always seems to be there when she's in a jam.
Brent McKenzie has had his share of memorable moments, but that night with Kem is as fresh and hot in his mind as if it was yesterday. He'd love to be the man who comes to her rescue in all possible ways—if she'd let him.
When an emergency call sends Kem racing home to Louisiana, she goes against her better judgment and accepts Brent's offer to go with her. Yet as everything she thought was true about her past crumbles, is his emotional support something solid to lean on…or a crutch she dare not trust?

Buzzard's Luck - An Oxymoron Haiku
(An Oxymoron Haiku)
Saw a dead buzzard
on the side of the highway -
completely alone.
©2015 Peggy T. Rush
I thought about the irony of what my husband and I saw on the way to church Sunday morning; a flock of buzzards obviously feasting on recent road kill along the Virginia highway. I thought too about the irony of what we saw on the way back from church; a lone buzzard that had apparently become road kill itself. Strangely it was all alone - nothing flew above it, nothing picked and pecked at it, nothing wanted to feast on it.
That set of scenarios caused me to think this was an oxymoron of the "Buzzard's Luck" theory:
Can't kill anything
nothing will die.
Somehow it seems oddly relevant and somewhat indicative of the social and political atmosphere we find ourselves dwelling within today.

Motorola CM 540
A very differnet approach to the new 40 channel CB. Photos will be added in depth.
The CM-540 is a unique radio in many ways. Built for Motorola around 1979 by a company in Japan, the CM-540 was one of the CB radios by Motorola to compete in the new 40 channel CB market.
The radio was unable to compete with the Cobra radios made in Hong Kong, and then in Taiwan. Motorola CB radios were short lived, the cost of the design and the fact that Japan was getting out of the CB market ended Motorola's venture into CB. They were built and felt like a commercial radio with some features not found on any other radio.
The first thing I made a note of was the Microphone design. Although; not found in all of Motorola's radios, the CM-540 uses a power microphone. The voltage for the power microphone is supplied by a 13.8 volt source from the radio. The microphone also uses a channel selector on the Microphone. The drawback for this design is the Microphone cord. There are plenty of wires in the cord and a special microphone plug is used.
The radio has the ability to change the channels on the radio and has a scan feature. At a quick glance the radio looks like a Ham 2 meter. It is heavy at 5 lbs; it is 2.6" high x 7" wide x 9.5" deep.
The most unique feature about this radio is it has a single conversion receiver of 455 KHz. This is where the design gets complicated. The input frequency is only 455 KHz away from the mixer frequency. In order to eliminate the three other frequencies created by the mixer, a tight filtering design is needed to get a direct Intermediate Frequency of 455 KHz. Most single conversion receivers use 7.8 MHz. This makes the elimination of the unwanted frequencies easier to remove with less expensive filters.
Dual conversion receivers usually will use 7.8 MHz or 10.695 MHz as the first IF, and then mix it down to a second IF of 455 KHz. The CM-540 goes straight to a single conversion IF of 455 KHz. There is a feature on the radio that I have not seen on another CB; an IF gain. It also has the standard RF gain. Between these two features the back ground noise can be eliminated. The noise blanker is also variable.
Another unique adaptation is the elimination of a separate first RF transistor. The input signal is fed straight to the mixer. The mixer is a dual gated J-FET designated Q101 and is a Q3A10. Motorola uses its own nomenclature for numbering common components. This can make finding suitable replacement parts hard to locate and cross reference.
The audio circuit has a built in audio compressor. The transmitter is simple and ahead of its time. The transmit frequency is generated by the PLL circuit and is mixed with a constant crystal controlled 29.485 MHz frequency.
Overall the radio is hard to work on and the schematic by Sams Photo Facts is the best schematic for the CM-540 in print, but it is one of the last of the CB series service manuals published by Sams, and it shows. The Sams Photo Fact number is # 293 pages 27 through 44. You will not find many of these radios as scrap. If you find one that is working, then consider yourself extremely lucky. Overall the radio works very well.
