But still my output does not show those lines instead if i give Code: _INPFLD1 _INPFLD2 _INPFLD3 I have to check till which line the user has entered value and need to concatenate them into a string.

Try without it. It is sort of a 'hardware' thing. Spanning to multiple lines only works if there are no 3270 field attributes before your intended end of the field. ISPF inserts its own 3270 field attributes to build the box around a popup. Those field attribute characters cause an end of the input field.

More Mike Reiss: Chats | Patriots Blog | Mailbag | @mikereiss | Search
Mike (11:59 AM)
Good afternoon and welcome to today's chat. Just going to get settled here at the NFL combine media center and we'll get started. Closer to a 12:05 p.m. ET kickoff.
Mike (12:05 PM)
Hello, we're ready to roll. Great to be here at NFL combine, listening to coaches, executives and prospects. This is the place to be. Media contingent grows every year.
Mike (12:06 PM)
I've picked up some good nuggets on the draft and Patriots and one that caught my attention was how highly Aqib Talib was viewed by some in the organization. They want him back, naturally, but the question is at what cost. I don't think there are any questions about how hard he worked or fit in here. Everything checks out in that regard.
Jason T (Maine)
The quesion on everyone's mind: How much do you think Dennard conviction changes things? From what I've read, he should be looking at probation. Do you think he's going to miss any of the season?
Mike (12:07 PM)
Jason, I've purposely not tried to get into speculating about that because the truth is that it's not my area of expertise. I signed up to cover football, not the courts, so I let the court reporters do their jobs. Reading them, it seems probabtion is likely (not jail time), so I defer to them. If I had to guess, and I'd stress it's just a guess, he won't miss any of the 2013 season.
Andre (Long Island, NY)
With Dennard situation do you think drafting a CB becomes more imporant as well as resigning Talib?
Mike (12:09 PM)
Andre, the Patriots are a little bit in flux there. I do think they'll draft/sign at least 2 cornerbacks this offseason. They have to, simply based on the numbers. But I don't think they'll alter their approach to do so -- if the CB isn't the best player at the time of the pick, they'll take the better player even if it's not at CB.
Dan (Maryland)
Mike - The sheer number of flops the Pats have had in DBs is astounding. In a world of being accountable - who is evaluating these DBs? We need to get the person evaluating OL to start evaluating DBs - could not be much worse!
Mike (12:12 PM)
Dan, we know the list (Meriweather, Wheatley, Butler, Chung, Dowling) since 2007 and it's not good. On the flip side, McCourty looks like a hit. Jury still out on Wilson, and Dowling can still turn it around, although relying on him has proven to be a shaky bet. Start with BB.
Hallan (Boston)
Do you think pats should release dennard
Mike (12:13 PM)
Absolutely not. They knew about all of this when they drafted him. Nothing new here.
Brian (Oxford, CT)
Hi Mike - Is the combine where the Wonderlic tests are administered? Not that they're any more revealing about players than a straight 40m time, but what sort of options do teams have at the combine for measuring things in line with the mental aspects of the game?
Mike (12:14 PM)
Brian, not sure if you're aware, but there is a new test -- in addition to the Wonderlic -- that is being issued this year. Those are the main things at the combine to measure the mental side, coupled with personal interviews and putting them up on the whiteboard.
Jason (Marcus)
What's your opinion? Whose a better choice, Xavier Rhodes, Jonathan Banks, or Matt Elam? And should we try to sign Wallace, resign Vollmer, and trade for Harvin?
Mike (12:16 PM)
Jason, I like the idea of Rhodes because he's a big corner, but I'd say let's not put that in black and white at this time because I'm still getting into the draft stuff and not ready to "endorse" a player yet at this point. Wallace is the type of WR I think could help them, but I'd caution them on investing top-of-the-market dollars in him. Like re-signing Vollmer, Talib and Welker, if possible, but the market could be tough to get all three back. So to sum it up, I'd start with the in-house options. If they can get all three back, I think that would be a huge start to free agency for the Patriots.
Tony (San Francisco)
All these talks about how important Wes Walker and some other free agents to the Patriots, what we need is just some folks who can make the plays at the critical moments, look at Manningham and Tyree, where are they now, teams don't necessarily want them long terms but some somehow they made the plays at the crucial moments and they won the Superbowls. Look at Givens and Branch, critical plays at the critical moments so we won the Superbowl, Wes didn't make some critical plays, as much as we love his toughness, not sure we should have him for a huge sum of money...
Mike (12:17 PM)
So let's ask the question, Tony, "at what cost?" I think a two-year, $16 million deal would be a fair compromise. $8 million per season for Welker in 2013 and 2014 -- I'd do that. I'm not sure Welker would, though. That's why the market, and another team potentially upping the ante, could ultimately decide if Welker is back.
Joe (Boston)
How are the patriots draft decisions made? I am interested in the interaction between the scouts and BB. I find it hard to believe that BB is able to know a lot about college players when teams have full time GMs like Ozzie Newsome
Mike (12:19 PM)
Joe, it starts with the scouts and director of college scouting Jon Robinson going through the thorough year-round process of scouting the talent. Nick Caserio is a big part of that too. Then at this time of year, BB enters the process more from a time perspective. There is naturally some catch-up to do for BB, but that's completely normal. The structure the Patriots have is not an outlier when compared to other teams.
Kell (Braintree, MA)
As much as people want to see a DB or a WR taken in the first round by the Patriots, I think the talent of OL and DL that will be available will be hard to pass on. I'm hoping DJ Fluker or John Jenkins will be available. Both are Day 1 starters in the trenches.
Mike (12:20 PM)
Kell, I'd just say we should never lock in on a position. Sure, it's nice when the best player matches the biggest need, but I do believe that if you try to focus more on the position, chances are you'll be back at the draft podium looking for the same position sooner rather than later. I like Fluker as a potential Vollmer replacement if Vollmer isn't back.
Anthony Powell (Boynton Beach, FL)
Mike looking at the Lack of Talent in this year's Draft Makes me wonder if the Patriots will pull off a Blockbuster Trade like they did back in 2007 what are your thoughts about this?
Mike (12:21 PM)
Anthony, they only have 5 picks and I think they want more ammunition. I would anticipate more deals that multiply picks, even into 2014 if that's what it takes.
Mark (Maryland)
Mike, how do you see the RB situation unfolding? We seem awfully deep with Ridley, Vereen, Woody, Bolden, and Demps in the stable.
Mike (12:24 PM)
Mark, I think they'd like to bring Woodhead back as a free agent. Bring him back and the position is pretty much set, outside of maybe adding a fullback. In terms of how the snaps are divided, last season it was Ridley (45 percent), Woodhead (34 percent), Vereen (12 percent) and Bolden (7 percent). I'd view Demps, in this scenario for 2013 if everyone is back, in the specialist category (returner, niche offensive player). This is a high-impact position in terms of hits taken, so the more depth, the better.
OJ (Helsinki, Finland)
Mike, allegedly the Patriots need a physical, hard hitting safety that has athleticism to cover TEs and slot receivers. Isn't that just the player Pat Chung and Brandon Meriweather is (or at least, should have been!)? So you can't fault the Patriots for not trying to fill that spot.
Mike (12:25 PM)
Wouldn't put Meriweather in that category, but it was what they were hoping Chung could be. Can't fault the effort, but they are accountable for the lack of execution.
Alex (New Jersey)
Mike, of all the receivers in the draft, which do you feel is the best fit for the Pats?
Mike (12:26 PM)
Alex, I'm not sure he's going to be there, but someone in the profile of Cal's Keenan Allen stands out. He's 6-2/6-3 and 210 pounds and viewed as a potential Anquan Boldin type. First-round talent.
Bill L. (Fort Collins, CO)
Hey Mike! What an interesting off-season this is going to be in regards to the draft and free agency. We usually have very few glaring holes on the roster and a ton of draft picks, but now have 5 picks with holes at CB, S, OL, DL, and WR, which makes me think BB may surprise us and back a Brinks truck up to the front yard of a specific free agent... if you were Caserio, who would be your #1 target (from another team) who you'd give a full Brinks truck to?
Mike (12:27 PM)
Bill, I'd be surprised if there was a big free-agent deal. The way I think the Patriots view things is that with the salary cap not rising this year and next year, it creates a situation where mismanaged teams are going to have to cut some solid players. Thus, the market is filled with solid players at a "good value" price. I think they want to be able to take advantage of that aspect of free agency. ...
Mike (12:28 PM)
... If there are big deals, I think they will be with their own players, the Welkers, Talibs and Vollmers.
Dave (Boston)
Mike - I see that Mankins has a 10 mil cap #. Is releasing him an option or is the dead money that would hit the cap prohibitive?
Mike (12:29 PM)
Correct on the last part, Dave. If you were to take the drastic step of releasing Mankins, which I see as highly unlikely, the cap hit would be greater than the savings as I understand it. He'll be here, and he should be. He's a real good player. Had a down 2012 because he was playing through significant injuries.
Dante (New Brunswick, NJ)
Pats need some more veteran role-players on defense in the Roman Phifer, Otis Smith mold.. guys who are reliable to 'do their job'
Mike (12:29 PM)
I like the thought, Dante. A little more toughness too, I believe is something they'd like to add as well. That comes in multiple forms.
trader75 (wilton, ct)
hey mike,it has been suggested that receiver, in the pat's scheme is a difficult position with all the options. not many can pick it up right away or if all. is db similarly difficult in the pat's scheme? the number of draft misses for the pat's is high and i was curious if you believe it is more of a talent issue or more of a cerebral issue?
Mike (12:30 PM)
I view it more as talent evaluation. If any of these DBs were emerging elsewhere, I'd lean toward the first part. But they're not.
Lav (MetroWest)
Hey Mike, What are some of the things you are looking at while down at the combine? Are there any specific "events" that you go to?
Mike (12:33 PM)
Lav, the main things I look for are different than the scouts. I am not a scout and don't pretend to be one. I watch the game, study the game, and feel like I have a good working knowledge of personnel and the NFL's 32 teams, but I also know what I don't know, if that makes sense. So I don't come here to scout. I come here to listen to the coaches and executives talk about their teams, to listen to the prospects in their media interviews and see how they react, and then try to piece that together with the pure football side (watching on NFL Network, I find, is the best). I always feel more informed about the draft after going through this step in the process.
Mike (12:33 PM)
No specific events, other than the local establishments at night, because often times, that's where the best "information" is gleaned ...
Dan (Leominster, MA)
Welker rumored to Miami............double edge sword? Strengthen your O and weaken a division opponent?
Mike (12:35 PM)
Dan, we just heard from Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland this morning and they have a ton of cap space to spend and 5 of the first 82 picks in the draft. They are in a good position. I like Welker for them , in theory, but I wonder how he'd fit in Mike Sherman's scheme. When I think of Mike Sherman offenses, I don't see players with Welker's skill set thriving. Might not be a scheme fit, but I like the idea in theory.
Tom (Miami)
Mike, Are there any tight ends of note on the scouts' radar at the combine that you've heard about?
Mike (12:38 PM)
Tom, we'll hear from some of the TEs today at the combine, but here is the word on the group: Was poor before all the juniors who declared bolstered it to an average level. As for specific names, I'd focus more on the FBs than TEs from the Patriots' perspective. And just like anything else, you want to make sure you have your home base covered, and that's why Harvard's Kyle Juszczyk shouldn't be overlooked as a realistic option for the Patriots.
Lonnie Paxton (Retirementland)
Mike,If I retire will I end up in the Patriots Hall of Fame?
Mike (12:39 PM)
Lonie, was great to bump into you this morning. I think you fall short when it comes to Patriots Hall of Fame consideration, but we will always fondly remember your snow angels.
CB in Utah (Murray UT via Belmont MA)
There have been some good players released due to salary cap issues (Buf, Jets). Are there any players recently released that would be worth pursuing in Free Agency?
Mike (12:41 PM)
CB, I think there are a lot of good players. I expect even more to come available. That's why there is no rush to pounce now. A player like Bills safety George Wilson, for example, made some plays that caught my eye in recent years (his INT of Brady in Buffalo, on a pass intended for Rob Gronkowski, was one of the best plays of that season against New England from this view.) The list will grow. A smart team like the Patriots, which will leave itself flexibility, will be in position to capitalize on this infusion of talent in the market.
jabsta (wormtown, ma)
Hi Mike, Does Dennard's conviction pressure the Pats to play tag with Talib? Does that give Talib leverage in negotiations? And why are the Pats becoming more open to having players who have some serious character issues? It's not like them. Would they let both Dennard and Talib go and deplete our already subpar secondary to keep the old Patriot image? Thanks.
Mike (12:42 PM)
My initial instinct is that the Patriots won't use the tag at all, but post-Dennard verdict, I do see it as a greater possibility on Talib than I previosusly did. I think the Patriots want Talib, I think Talib wants to be here, and now it's a matter of getting it done at the fair dollar figure for both sides.
Max Lane (Drew's Wine Cellar)
From afar, it seems like Marcus Cannon had a disappointing 2012. Is this fair? Any scuttlebutt on how the Pats' staff assesses his development? Is he ready to become a bigger contributor?
Mike (12:44 PM)
I look at Cannon's 2012 season a bit differently. In his role as the third tackle, he filled in admirably for Sebastian Vollmer when called upon and the offense didn't miss a beat. Based on what we saw in preseason from Cannon, which was scary at times, I thought he improved. I still wonder if he's a better fit at guard, but he proved himself capable in that fill-in role. Can he be a full 16-game starter? That's a tough one. I don't think we have the answer right now.
MG (Atlanta)
Hello Mike - taking a break from the Tony Gonzales retirement watch down here to ask if you think any of the recently released Jets defenders may draw interest from the Patriots?
Mike (12:47 PM)
MG, I'd be surprised if we see Bart Scott here. He's really slowed down. Less sure on Calvin Pace. Maybe some value there, but he's not the difference-maker he once was. Would be more depth-related.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
What is the Best & the Worst NFL Stadium that you have Been to(Building)?
Mike (12:48 PM)
Chris, I'd say the best stadium was Lambeau Field for the history of it all. Great atmospehere. My least favorite might be Fed-Ex Field in Washington, and it's more of a selfish reason: The press box is low and in the end zone. Tough viewpoint to watch/analyze a game.
Showtime09 (NH)
Starting to really think that the Pats will never ever win a SB under Bill again.... His failures to fix the pass rush, Secondary and deep threat has killed this team when it matters.... Thoughts? The blueprint is out there how to beat the pats in the playoffs. There are only a few teams that can do it but it's all the teams they have to beat in the playoffs to win.... The d can not make stops ever when needed... The o can be stopped because WR can't beat people one on one and no opens the field.... No pass rush.... Why doesn't Bill ever fix these problems? They have been problems for years and years and nothing changes.......
Mike (12:50 PM)
I wouldn't count them out. I think NFL context is important here. Not sparing BB the accountability for the struggles to more decisively address some of the defensive questions, but if we look around the league, which team has more consistently been in the championship hunt than the Patriots? They'll be in the mix again in 2013. A quick story ...
Mike (12:51 PM)
... When we arrived in Indianapolis at the airport, we bumped into veteran ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen, who shared a story of how he lives next to some Patriots fans who have been asking him why the team hasn't been able to "get over the hump." Mortensen relayed his response: Look around the NFL ... who is consistently getting over the hump. Sometimes you just get beaten. ...
Mike (12:52 PM)
... The purpose of sharing the story is that I think the Patriots' early success in BB's tenure has created an unrealistic expectation in some circles. I completely understand the frustration on the defensive questions. These are topics we've been talking about for about 5 years now. But if it was that easy, every team would be doing it.
Jay (Revere)
Mike, with Brady just six games behind Drew Brees for most consecutive games with a TD pass, does it stand to reason that the Saints will most likely play at New England in Week 7 of the NFL season? Does the NFL look at things like that (potential for records to be broken) when making the schedule? I know they asked the Redskins when they can expect RGIII back so they can schedule the Redskins prime time games later in the season. Also, since we play Pittsburgh at home, one would think this might take place as it usually does around Halloween, maybe the 27th of October. Based on the calendar from Gillete Stadium, the Revs have home games on September 7th, 21st and 28th so I expect the Patriots will start on the road in 2013, then be at home for week 2 and back on the road for weeks 3 and 4--basically the same schedule in terms or home/away as 2012 when they were @Tennessee, Arizona, @Baltimore and @Buffalo? Can you tell some of us are already gearing up for 2013-2014!?!
Mike (12:54 PM)
Fun stuff, Jay. The NFL loves storylines, but I don't think they take it to that level. If Patriots-Saints winds up being Week 7, I might change my opinion on that. ... On the Revs stuff, it isn't unusual for there to be a Saturday game and then a Sunday Patriots game. I don't think I'd look too deeply into that stuff.
Adam (Providence RI)
Mike, I really see no need to resign Welker if we resign Edelman. He was tearing teams up right until he got injured. I think we should resign Edelman, then focus on a deep threat like Wallace and address the pass rush and secondary in the draft.
Mike (12:55 PM)
Adam, in theory, I understand the viewpoint. But I think it overlooks the durability and reliability of Welker. I'm not saying you're wrong, but based on what we've seen in recent years, how confident are you that Edelman will make it through 2013 injury free?
Ryan (Canton)
Mike, chances of Arrington being re-signed?
Mike (12:57 PM)
Ryan, I think they like Arrington as a slot corner, and would pay him fair market value. If you're Arrington, though, don't you owe it to yourself to test the market and see if a team views you as a No. 2 corner? I think you do, and that's why I expect the market to potentially dictate his return. If it's as a No. 3, I think he's in NE. If it's as a No. 2, I think he probably ends up elsewhere.
Spaulding Smails (Bushwood)
OK, please explain to me how Welker gets labeled as a "system guy?" Makes no sense to me, the guy plays every game, gets open, makes catches (except for 2 we really really needed) & gets tough YAC. How is he just a product of playing w/Brady? I assume every team in the league wants that from their WR's.
Mike (12:59 PM)
It's a balance. Let's start with this: Welker is a solid football player, regardless of system. Can't argue that. Remember why the Patriots traded for him in the first place? It was because he was killing them while a member of the Dolphins. That's one layer. But the other layer is that the slot receiver in the Patriots' offense is a high-production position -- first with Troy Brown, then with Wes Welker. Part of it is the way the offense is built. So like most everything else, I don't see this one as black and white.
Chris (Orlando)
Mike, I know the Dolphins have a ton of cap space, but aren't we all forgetting how many of their own free agents (Long, Hartline etc) they have to figure out ways to sign/replace? They may have a lot of money, but they have a lot more free agents than most. Do they really have the ammo to worry the Pats this year?
Mike (1:00 PM)
Very good point, Chris. That's a big part of this for them. As BB often says, the one thing you don't want to do is miss on an evaluation of your own players. ... That said, still like the Dolphins in terms of being in position to take the next step -- as long as Ryan Tannehill continues to develop.
Ian B (Ottawa, ON)
Who wins the 40 yrd dash at ESPN Boston?
Mike (1:01 PM)
Ian, I'll answer this way: Whose alarm was going off at 6:30 a.m. this morning, so he could get a workout in before today's media availability? Not Yates. Not Rodak. It was Reiss.
Mike (1:01 PM)
Mike (1:02 PM)
Of course, if you saw the quality of the workout, you might be a little frightened. Out of shape, indeed. Not sure BB would pass me on his conditioning test.
Kent (Wishing he were in Iowa)
First, love the work you do keeping Pats Nation informed.Do you think Jeff Tarpinian could be the cover backer somefeel we need?
Mike (1:03 PM)
Kent, I think that's the skill set that initially opened the eyes of the coaching staff with Tarpinian in his rookie season. He did some good things in those 7-on-7 drills in the offseason and training camp. I wouldn't count it out, but I think relying on it would be a stretch at this point.
Clark (Muncie,In)
Good morning MikeI fully understand you can not be fully prepared for this question, but just for fun...If you could add one player (projected 29th or later) and one player only out of this draft who would it be? Part B: One free agent (including our own) and one free agent only?
Mike (1:04 PM)
Good to be back in your neck of the woods, Clark. At No. 29, I'll go with Alabama DL Jesse Williams. On the free agent, it will be Aqib Talib.
CB in Utah (Murray UT)
Mike. we're going to be in NE on vacation this summer (Last week of July) Do you know when Pats camp opens? Will we have a chance to see practice while we're there?
Mike (1:05 PM)
Date not set yet, but if I had to project, I'll guess Thursday, July 25.
Steve (ct)
Mike, as much as I loved the impact Talib made on the D last year I would not like to see the Pats sign him to a deal. Like it has been stated before I believe his impact was a result to his play but more importantly to the fact that McCourty could move to safety. My concern lies with the fact that he has a great history of not being able to stay on the field. It is a gamble that should only be taken into consideration is if the money is right or if it is and incentive based contract. Instead, I would love to see them go after another tall corner in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. I feel he would be a great value pick up. He has great history of staying on the feild along with production while his time in ARI. Also, to touch on the draft, I would love to see the Pats take Alec Ogletree if he falls in the draft, after his DUI. He is a freak of nature that provides versitility all over the field. Should be a fun guy to watch at the combine. Let me know your thoughts, really enjoy the chat.
Mike (1:07 PM)
Steve, I also like DRC as an option for the Patriots. Nice call. These are always tough situations when we're talking about injuries, but I'll tell you what I know: Talib's injuries this year weren't a result of his lack of work. He actually should be commended for playing through what he did, from my view. Obviously, that doesn't answer the main question: Is Talib an injury risk? I think if the Patriots can re-sign him, get him into their program for the offseason, it wouldn't worry me going forward.
Mike (1:08 PM)
On Ogletree, I don't know enough about him and his off-field situation right now. Have to punt on that one at this point.
Chris (NE CT)
Mike, who's the better choice: Ed Reed, Dwight Freeney, or Charles Woodson?
Mike (1:08 PM)
Reed for me, but it all comes down to cost.
Mike (1:09 PM)
Let's go for another 5, but after a short delay...
Zach (CT)
Im gonna be that guy and ask you the chances BB picks Tebow off the heap and converts him into a fullback/special teamer
Mike (1:12 PM)
Zach, it wouldn't surprise me. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels obviously has a very high opinion of Tebow as a player and person.
Kyle (Cranston, RI)
Mike, do you think Devin McCourty has the necessary instincts to play safety at a high level? We know he has the athleticism, ball skills, and tackling ability, but I'm talking about the split-second instincts a safety needs to change his mindset from "don't get beat deep" or "cover my area" to jumping crossing routes and committing to receivers once the throw is imminent. Being at all the home games this year, I started thinking about this when I noticed receivers like Torrey Smith and Andre Johnson consistently catching deep ins in front of him. He will always be there to make the tackle, but will he ever be the guy that sees the play and gets there a half second sooner to break it up?
Mike (1:15 PM)
I do Kyle. Entering 2012, I thought the smarter play was to leave McCourty at cornerback. The rationale was that I thought the shaky safety play behind him in 2011 contributed to his less-than-inspiring play at CB. But after watching him at safety this year, I think I like him better there. I see more upside for his future from a playing perspective.
patsprobst (Las Vegas NV)
Mike,I think Talib was great down the stretch but a lot of people seem to disagree with me. Overall i believe Talib is our best DB, and the best corner we've had since Asante Samuel, but whats your take on Talib as a player?
Mike (1:17 PM)
The truth is probably in the middle -- don't think Talib was the second coming of Ty Law, but he was a difference-maker for them. They built game-plans around him, to the degree that the team does that. I like him and I like what I'm hearing about how he approached things behind the scenes.
Matt (Elon NC)
I've never really followed the combine closely before; what are some of the factors that coaches & GMs will look for in a prospect?
Mike (1:18 PM)
Matt, the medical information gleaned here, coupled with the interview process and getting to know the player, is probably the biggest thing. Then when it comes to positions like CB and WR, getting as true a gauge on speed as possible. This is the place to do it. Obviously, there is more, but that's the snapshot.
Chris (Springfield, MA)
In fairness Mike, Law could grab and hold Revis style. Talib is not granted such liberties.
Mike (1:20 PM)
I don't know, Chris, I saw some Seahawks CBs do some of that this year that I was surprised wasn't a penalty.
Mike (1:20 PM)
But fair point, the rules are different now.
Matt C. (Florida)
Is Steve Breaston, just released from Kansas City a possible option to replace Wes Welker if the Pats let him walk? He had production a couple years ago and was good for the Cardinals. He also should come fairly cheap.
Mike (1:21 PM)
I don't think so, Matt. I like San Diego for Breaston, reuniting with this former head coach in Arizona, Ken Whisenhunt, who is now the Chargers' offensive coordinator.
Matthew (Toronto)
There is no way the Patriots let Vollmer hit the open market is there? I can see them letting Talib and Welker explore, but not Vollmer. Too important, too skilled and too valuable. Can see Patriots resigning lesser free agents (Woodhead, Edelman) and slapping SV with franchise tag while waiting for Welker and Talib to figure out what the money is being offered elsewhere and evaluating the teams next step from there. Do you agree?
Mike (1:23 PM)
Matthew, they want him, but the health questions cloud the picture a bit. The market for a solid RT with the ability to swing to LT has been around 6-7m per year. Would they go there? I think they would, but injury protection/structure would be key. Might be a case where Vollmer tests the market to see if a team will up the ante. If they don't, a door would be open to return.
Jim Bob (Oregon)
Dwight Freeney - Patriot in 2013?
Mike (1:24 PM)
I'd be fairly surprised at that one, only because I think another team will pay Freeney more than the Patriots would based on the need/role they'd have for him.
Bill L (Fort Collins, CO)
Job question: at the combine, how do you, Field, and Rodak break up the duties (i.e. who covers what the next day)?
Mike (1:26 PM)
Let's end on this one. We have a little bit of a unique situation here. Mike Rodak is networking with NFL folks as he gets set to graduate from Providence College. So he doesn't have many responsibilities, if any. Me and Field are splitting them up. We devised our game-plan this morning to split time between news conferences and prospect interviews. Nothing really fancy about it. Just teamwork and constant communication ... and a great passion for the topic we're writing about.
Mike (1:26 PM)
Thanks for the interest and thanks to everyone for chatting. Back to combine work now. We'll do it again next week.

Syria seems determined to reach out to the US perhaps in the vain hopes that it will help settle the Golan Heights situation. Syria has also helped out considerably in the war on terror being a common destination for suspects rendered for torture in Syria's infamous prisons. There were some rumblings about an alternate meeting with Hamas and others opposed to the Annapolis meeting in Syria but obviously Syria decided it was in its interests to be at the Bush meeting. The Arab peace initiative got nowhere since the US and Israel were unwilling to recognise the coalition government. Now that the Hamas controls Gaza and there is a "new" Palestinian govt. without Hamas the US hopes that some way forward can be found. However, it is doubtful. Neither side is in any position to deliver much but lofty sounding words that are basically hot air.
Syria to join U.S.-led Middle East conference
Sun Nov 25, 2007 10:18 AM EST
By Jeffrey Heller
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Syria said on Sunday it would attend a U.S.-led conference aimed at launching talks to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, giving another boost to U.S. efforts to enlist wide Arab support a new peace drive.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas arrived in Washington two days before the meeting in Annapolis, Maryland. But all sides have played down the prospect of any breakthrough at the conference or afterwards.
Ending weeks of uncertainty, the official Syrian news agency said Syria "has accepted the American invitation and will send an official delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Fayssal Mekdad."
A spokeswoman for Olmert welcomed the announcement, calling the decision to send a high-ranking member of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government a positive move.
The spokeswoman, Miri Eisin, said the Israeli-Palestinian track would remain the main focus of the conference, although Syria's participation "could open additional avenues to peace in the Middle East."
Syria, Israel's neighbor to the north and a long-time foe, had insisted the meeting also deal with the future of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, speaking to reporters on Olmert's flight to Washington, said the issue could be raised in a forum at the conference in which "comprehensive peace in the Middle East" would be discussed.
Israel and Syria last held peace negotiations in 2000, in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, but could not reach a deal on the Golan, which overlooks the Sea of Galilee, the Jewish state's main reservoir.
"We consider the Annapolis conference a launching pad for final status negotiations that will lead to the realization
of the Palestinian people's dream of establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital," Abbas aide Nabil Abu Rdainah told Reuters after the Palestinian leader's arrival.
But Abbas has lost control of the Gaza Strip to Hamas Islamists and Olmert is unpopular with voters, not least due to corruption accusations, and faces opposition to concessions within his coalition. President George W. Bush has little over a year left in power.
In the run-up to the conference, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have so far failed to agree on a joint document on how to proceed with negotiations.
Abu Rdainah said they would meet again in Washington on Sunday and Livni told reporters on Olmert's plane she expected the two sides to agree on a document to "launch the (peace) process, not solve (the conflict)."
The mere attendance at talks with Israel of Arab states like Saudi Arabia and Syria, which have had cold-to-hostile relations with the Jewish state, is likely to be hailed in Israel and Washington as a major achievement at Annapolis.
Livni said the Arab presence boosted chances for success, and that without support from other Arabs, there was not "a single Palestinian" who could reach a deal with Israel.
The prospect of better ties with Arab neighbors could also help Olmert, whose governing coalition includes right-wing partners, sell any deal.
At Annapolis, Israel and the Palestinians are expected to reaffirm commitments under the U.S.-backed "road map" to peace, agreed in 2003.
Israel has made any final deal conditional on Abbas carrying out a commitment to rein in militants. Palestinians demand Israel fulfill its promise under the plan to halt "settlement activity" in the occupied West Bank.
The Annapolis meeting will be held seven years after a summit at Camp David hosted by Bush's predecessor Bill Clinton collapsed and a Palestinian uprising erupted.
Faced with the legacy of an unpopular war in Iraq, the conference will give Bush a chance for diplomatic success in the Middle East -- an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal all sides say they hope to achieve before he leaves office in January 2009.
Olmert told reporters on his plane he hoped Annapolis would launch serious negotiations on "all the core issues that will result in a solution of two states for two peoples."
Non-Arab Iran, which the United States has ostracized for developing nuclear technology, has not been invited.
Iran said on Sunday the conference would erode Palestinian rights. Hamas's armed wing vowed to keep fighting Israel and said any concessions would be tantamount to "treason."
In Jerusalem, Israeli police set up roadblocks to try to avert violence after a security alert. Israeli troops killed three Palestinian gunmen in raids in Gaza and the West Bank.

Student Life
Driven by our founding Catholic character, our students and faculty strive to be a force for good around the world.
From close residential communities to state-of-the-art technologies, a Notre Dame education truly is an education of the mind and heart. You can help us continue to provide a unique undergraduate experience by supporting student life.
- All first-year students live on campus, and many choose to stay in their dorms all four years.
- With some 80 percent of students living on-campus, many of Notre Dame's longest standing and most popular traditions center around life in the 29 residence halls.
- Each residence hall has a mascot and nickname, a color scheme, a favorite charity and a signature event, ranging from concerts to game shows, casino nights and auctions.
- Most dorms also hold a Sunday night Mass for the residents.
- Students have the opportunity to participate in more than 300 student organizations and clubs.
- Throughout the year, students participate in long-standing campus traditions, such as Bookstore Basketball, Fisher Regatta, Dillon Hall pep rally, Polar Plunge, An Toastal, SYRs (Set Up your Roommate), Muddy Sunday, Geek Week, Milkshake Mass, Bengal Bouts and Baraka Bouts, Saturday tailgates, ROTC events and many, many more.
- North and South Dining Halls offer themed meals throughout the academic year including Halloween and Valentine's Day desserts, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Cinco de Mayo dinners, and Lenten and Easter buffets. Also a big favorite – candlelight dinners after home football games in the dining hall complete with white tablecloths and yes, plenty of candles.
You can make the Notre Dame experience extraordinary and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Cougars, welcome to the OVC.
SIU Edwardsville (which doesn't have a hyphen. They'll nail you on that!) will be in their last year of transition to Division I this season, meaning they'll play a full conference schedule but are ineligible for tournament play.
If you don't know much about the Cougars, you're not alone. Last season, they were the OVC's whipping boy in most of their conference matchups, save their late season home games against UT Martin and the ever so inconsistent Racers. They did win 4 games against D-I schools, but only one of those teams, Citadel, was in the top-300 in the RPI. (and just barely, at 294)
But before you think the Cougars are destined for a 0-win conference campaign, their RPI last year was rather comparable with the bottom 4 of the conference: SIUe's RPI ranking was 328, UTM was 290, SEMO was 306, EIU was 314, and Jax St. was actually worse, at 331. Now as a note, SIUe played and lost to both UTM and SEMO last season, but did not play EIU or Jax St.
The Cougars graduate 3 players, but their top 2 scorers, Cornelius Chatt and Corey Wickware return for their senior years, as does freshman standout Michael Messer. They are losing their best big man, 6'10" Nikola Bundalo. The Cougars are bringing in 3 JUCO players, including Derien Shieffer, the likely replacement for Bundalo.
I would be curious to know what expectations are for this team in Edwardsville. A top-heavy conference like the OVC is well suited to transitional teams, as it provides both opportunities to play great and not-so-great teams. Could this team pull some upsets, absolutely.
In one more year, the OVC is about to get a big shakeup. SIUe will be eligible for the tournament, and Belmont will try to start making it's mark on the OVC. While everyone is talking about the Bruins, SIUe is sliding in under the radar. Does it make them a dangerous team? Probably not. But they're not one that teams can look past on their schedule either.

So I've been with my boyfriend for nearly 5 months and so far it's amazing :) Up until last light he's always seen me with makeup (I wear it because it's fun to play around with, although I keep it natural, and because it makes me feel a bit more put together and look less tired) the only time he's acknowledged the fact that I wear makeup was when he complimented me when I wore a bit of shimmer. So recently I switched birth control pills and they made me break out (I usually don't have any pimples). I didn't try and cover up the pimples because I wanted to let my skin breath so instead I just wore a bit of eyeliner to distract from my pimples. I didn't mention it to my boyfriend (cause I wanted to see if he noticed the pimples, and the fact that I wasn't covering them) and he said "You're still sexy when chilling with no makeup." Guys: do you think he was lying? Honesty please
Most Helpful Guy
Really don't care about makeup, infact the less of it the better... I know girls are always like oh guys don't know when I'm wearing make up blah blah blah... It's usually pretty noticeable, especially when I can't wash it out of my clothes or pillowcase.11|00|0


text: Okay please don't report this I really need this help guys. I smoked kinda a lot two days ago and got really high but was good after but yesterday I ate dinner and started to feel high again? Like the shaking and the lack of some mental clarity and that was weird but I blew it off. Today I ate lunch and the same thing started happening please help I don't know what's going on and none of my friends know either

"Very good experience of A&E"
About: Scunthorpe General Hospital Scunthorpe General Hospital Scunthorpe DN15 7BH
Posted by Anonymous
Took my wife to A&E with what appeared to be a fractured ankle. Staff helpfully found me a wheelchair, she was booked in and seen within 10 mins and had an X Ray in 20. Pain relief was offered whilst at the reception desk.
Luckily it's a very minor bony injury so she was treated, follow up arranged and given some crutches. Everyone was efficient and helpful. Couldn't fault it.
Response from Scunthorpe General Hospital 14 months ago
Hi, thank you very much for your feedback, it's always a pleasure to hear from satisfied patients! Hope your wife has a speedy recovery.

I apologize in advance! I know I have seen this topic floating around before, but I can't find it!
I would like to know what I can use for cake dummies, if I can't get them in time? Can I use styrofoam circles? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
You can use styrofoam circles - cake dummies aren't anything different. You can make your dummies yourself. If you can order them, it isn't mostly worth your time and the cost, but you can make them.
Either buy styrofoam, cut (let cut) circles. You can stack and glue them together.
Second possibility (heavier) is to use plaster of Paris. Mix perlite in it (can be bought in garden center or probably in home depot) - this will make it lighter.
You can use paper mache as well. Tear newspaper into small pieces and soak in water 3-4 hours, blend in the blender until paper is mushy. Drain and pack into pan: Using a terry cloth towel, press paper into all the crevices and absorb excess water. Mold a shell only, by pressing the paper mixture into the bottom and inside edges of the pan. When completely dry, remove from pan. To make it solid would take much time for drying but can be done.
Another option of making a dummy yourself is to stack up cake circles/boards, cover w/aluminum foil or press & seal plastic wrap (NOT please plastic cling wrap) then ice as usual.
It's harder (at least in my opinion) to do special shapes this way but if it's just an 8" round or such it will work just fine.
Thank you both for the great advice and ideas! I am entering two cakes in the fair but I am not able to order dummies right now. I will let you know how they turn out!
If you have time....tay lor foam . com is lightning fast. I get mine 2 days after ordering!
You can use the spray foam used for insulation... It can be found in hardware stores. Take your pan, and cut a piece of cardboard that will act as a cover. Spray the pan with vegetable oil and proceed to spray the foam into the pan. The foam expands, so stop short about two thirds full. Place the the cardboard over the top like a lid and allow the foam to expand and harden. When it is cured, pop it out like a real cake. If it needs trimming, an exacto knife is all that is required. This is a great method especially for character cakes, etc.

Norwegian Epic
3 out of 5 stars
Download the FREE app and meet your ship mates!
You sign up for them on board. Haven and Platinum passengers get priority tenders tickets in their rooms. I think GSC is the only port you will need to tender, providing that the weather is ok to tender. If it's too choppy , they will bypass GSC and go to Nassau so don't be surprised if this happens. Hopefully it doesn't. I am not a fan of Nassau. :)
Has anyone purchased the excursion "sky ride to Paradise Point" in St. Thomas? The price is $21 pp, same as the price if you just walked up to the window. Would I have to wait in long lines to get these tickets, or can I bypass and go straight for the ride if I purchase them through Norwegian as an excursion? There is going to be 3 other cruise ships in port that day.

Call it superstition, or call it numerology, or just simply not being happy with their real name, these actors changed their names for the screen. Here we list down some celebs whose real names are way (or atleast a little) different.
1) Sunny Deol is Ajay Singh Deol
2) Yo Yo Honey Singh is Hirdesh Singh
3) Ranveer Singh is Ranveer Bhavnani
4) Tabu is Tabassum Hashmi

Join James Williamson for an in-depth discussion in this video Exploring starter pages, part of Dreamweaver CC 2013 Essential Training.
There are going to be times when creating a new page from scratch is not your best option. If you're new to CSS for layout, or you're simply looking for a head start for the structure and layout of your new files, you should give Dreamweaver's starter pages a look. Now although Adobe has currently pared down the number of starter pages available, the remaining layouts are built on standards compliant codes. And they offer cross browser, compatible layouts, that render consistently in almost all versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome.
So, they can be a really great place to start. Now, I want to show off some starter pages, so I'm going to go to File and choose New. Now, I choose blank page HTML I have two choices here. I have a two columned fixed right sidebar header and footer, and you see sort of a little preview of that. So that would give me a header, footer, sidebar over on the right hand side and a main column of content. Now when both of these layouts are what we call fixed layouts, meaning they're not going to flex based upon the size of the screen. We also have a three column fixed header and footer that gives you a sidebar on either side of the content.
Now since the two column fixed right sidebar, header, and footer is the more common layout used with websites. I'm just going to go ahead and select that one. Now, when you've chosen one of these, one of the really nice things about starter pages is how it deals with the CSS. You'll notice that if I go down here to Layout CSS, I've got a few options here. I can either add the CSS for the layout to the head of the document, I can create a new file, and that's going to create a new external CSS for me. Or I can link into an existing file. Meaning, if I already have a file out there that's holding other style like typography for example, I can go ahead and link to that one as well. And it'll add the layout code to that.
Now, just for the sake of looking through the code quickly, for this one I'm going to going to Add to Head. So, that'll place the CSS directly in the head of the document. Alright, I'm going to go ahead and choose Create. And as soon as I do that, I get my new starter page. Now I'm going to switch over to Design view, so you can kind of see what this page looks like. Now, as you can see this page has page holder information, and it's got some neutral background colors. So, those background colors really help you mark the content areas, and there's simple enough to easily replace with your own content in your own style. It's very easy to kind of see where everything is and figure out how you're going to configure this for yourself.
Now, if I switch over to Code view and I start looking through the CSS. One of the things that you're going to notice is that the CSS is fully commented with clear, concise description of how the page structure, class structure, and all the little layout styles work. Additional comments are going to point out properties and styles that are focused on created web standards-compliant code. So, this is all just fantastic information for those of you that are learning how to control layout with CSS. So, even if you're not going to use starter pages, it's worth it just to sort of read through this to learn a little bit more about how layout works with CSS. And how to properly write your styles so that they work across multiple browsers. Now, I'll admit, starter pages aren't for everyone. However, if you've never used CSS for layout before and you want to make sure that you're using solid, standards-complient cross-browser code, they're really a great place to start.
Now, if you already have a strategy for how you want to use CSS in place, and one of the starter pages fits your layout requirements. It really can save you a lot of time in the creation of your CSS, as you'll just simply tweak the existing styles to be more in line with your specific needs. Now, keep in mind that the CSS that you're looking at here and all the page structure itself that's generated from these starter pages is entirely customizable. You can add to it, you can take away from it, you can tweak the code in whatever manner you want. Just make sure that your using starter pages with a very clear strategy in mind so that the overall implementation in them into your site is seamless. With that in mind, our next exercise is going to be focused on discussing strategies for customizing starter pages.
And then, adopting them as part of your overall workflow.
- Learning how to approach web design
- Managing workspaces
- Defining a new site
- Managing starter pages
- Exploring the authoring options
- Creating links
- Setting CSS preferences and styling a page

Classic Caesar Salad
Recipe by Chef Surfn Safari
This recipe is the classic original Caesar Salad with the dressing made from scratch. It has that bite that the best Caesar Salad dressings are supposed to have. This dressing will wow your guests and have them asking you where you bought it. I learned and refined this recipe while in culinary school. It is very important that you use fresh ingredients that have not been pre-processed (ie. lemon not bottle of lemon juice, block of parmesan cheese not parmesan cheese already grated in a container, etc.).
Top Review by stefstewart1
This dressing is so easy to make and DELICIOUS!!! I made enough to have extra & at this rate it won't last for long. No more store bought Caesar for me!

Once upon a time, youngsters hopped into bed, pulled out their flashlights and settled in to read comic books, soaking up their favorite superhero's adventures. Today, iPhones, laptops and DVDs have become the new mediums for graphic novels.
Comic books DC and Marvel have created are being converted into digital formats slowly but surely. While the paper sale of graphic novels in the North American market is still a healthy $ 705 million (quintupling since 2001), there is still the desire to modernize and change with the times, just as the characters in the comic books have. Some call it "evolution," while others just call it "business." Either way, given the enduring success of the hero narrative, comic book series aren't likely to go anywhere anytime soon.
Many fans just want to read comics for free. After all, that's what the internet and peer-to-peer is all about, right? There are a few databases offering graphic novels for free. Manga comics, like Naruto, Bleach, Love Junkies, Pokemon and Vampire Knight can be found at Mangafox and Mangavolume, for instance. More than three hundred conventional classics from DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Vertigo, Wild Storm and Oni can be found at Lorencollins.
Fans looking for "Golden Age" comics can find comic book series like "Tales of Horror," "Out of the Shadows," "Jumbo Comics," "Exciting Comics" and "The Perfect Crime" (with characters like Ibis the Invincible and Blue Beetle) at Comicweb. Other comics from that time period, like "Baffling Mysteries," "Strange Fantasy," "Underworld," "Famous Funnies," "Forbidden Worlds" or "Whiz Comics" can be viewed at Goldenagecomics. Additionally, for fans of DC comic book characters, the first five issues of each major series are being offered as free PDF downloads at Ugo.
Of course, not everyone feels like sitting inside to read comic books in their rooms all day long. Now fans can take their favorite comics graphic novels outside, on the bus, into the lunchroom or on break at work with Nintendo DS portable players, iPods and iPhones. "Comic Book DS" is a neat application that can be downloaded at 4colorrebellion, so that comics can be read on Nintendo DS systems.
For the iPhone or iPod Touch, fans will need the "ComicZeal" program, which can be purchased for $ 1.99 at Igoapps. To read comics on a laptop, a program like Adobe Acrobat Reader will likely be required.
So where does this take the future of comics? Marvel Comics Publisher Dan Buckley says they want people to read comic books using new formats, but they're still undertaking research to see where their time and efforts are best spent. "We're still quibbling about what the primary form of revenue will be," Buckley said, relaying that some comics can be found online for free.
"We don't want to do anything to hurt anybody in the short term," he added, meaning the independent comic book store. In general, the comic book industry agrees that the internet can be a great way for comics to gain a larger audience.

Elfia Haarzuilen 2014 saturday 19 april 2014
Every year in April since 2001, the substantial number of 25,000 people from all over Europe come to the largest Fantasy event on the European continent: the Elfia.
Two-third of the visitors have transformed into orcs, magicians, dragons, knights, vampires, elves, unicorns, gothic lolita, manga comic hero or a combination of these. Every year the costumes are getting more resourceful and more artistic. In the midst of the budding nature of the Castle park which belongs to the largest castle of the Netherlands – Kasteel de Haar fantasy lovers indulge themselves in all that is offered and coveted: medieval music, dancing, lectures, theatre plays, and parades.
Sinds 2001 komen elk jaar in april een groeiend aantal mensen uit heel Europa op de Elfia editie Haarzuilens naar het grootste fantasy evenement dat op het Europese continent georganiseerd wordt: de Elf Fantasy Fair.
Tweederde van deze bezoekers hebben zichzelf omgetoverd tot orc, tovenaar, draak, ridder, vampier, elf, eenhoorn, gothic lolita, manga stripheld of een combinatie daarvan. De kostuums worden elk jaar steeds vindingrijker en kunstzinniger. Temidden van de opbloeiende natuur van het kasteelpark, dat behoort tot het grootste kasteel van Nederland, Kasteel de Haar, dompelen de fantasy liefhebbers zich onder in een aangenaam bad van middeleeuwse muziek, dans, lezingen, theatervoorstellingen en optochten.

Baranov's early career was shrouded in a cloud of scandal, with rumors that he murdered a professional rival. He became a suspect during the course of the investigation, but the outbreak of the Fourth Succession War precluded such things as the CCAF needed every Mechwarrior it could get it's hands on. Wounded during the defense of Tikograd, Baranov spent his convalescence on Hall. Recalled to active duty upon his full recovery, he was posted with the Fourth Republican Guard of the newly formed Tikonov Free Republic. With the Fourth, Baranov saw action in the offensive that Colonel Pavel Ridzik launched against House Marik, and was decorated for his actions on Talitha. Reposted to Hall after the absorption of the Tikonov Free Republic into the Federated Commonwealth, Baranov began quietly consolidating power on the planet. In the chaos that followed the Marik-Liao Invasion of 3057 and the collapse of the Sarna March, Baranov saw an opportunity he could not pass up. Baranov moved quickly, but decisively. He led his troops into the capital city of Harney, crushing what little opposition he found, and crowned himself Emperor of Hall. Though harried from the start by Count Radcliffe McNally, and even by rebellions from his own troops, his first major task was to eliminate the threat to his military power posed by the twin sons of his former Commander, Pavil Ridzik. Baranov skillfully cultivated an atmosphere of mistrust between the brothers by playing on their fears. The disappearance of Nikoli Ridzik forced his brother to flee Hall for Solaris VII, abandoning any hopes of a revived Tikonov Free Republic. The "Idiot Twins" — as Baranov referred to them. Since then Baranov systematically neutralized all opposition on Hall - save for Count McNally and his supporters in Burton's Brigade. A bear of a man with a shaggy beard and multiple tattoos, Baranov looks more like the proprietor of a wild roadhouse than a military commander and strategist.[1]
Emperor William "Bud" Baranov was finally killed on October 9, 3067 while engaged in a 'Mech duel with Captain Elly Burton of Burton's Brigade in the suburbs of Hall's capital city Harney during which both combatants were slain. [2][3]
