Don't forget to tune into Episode 3 of Faces of America on PBS this evening – check your local listings for the show time.
Unfortunately this household is down and out with the flu right now and I will not be able to hold our usual GeneaBloggers chat after the episode airs here in Chicago. In fact, I had to cancel a speaking engagement this evening (on social media and genealogy) since I have no speaking voice.
I'm off to get another pot of Irish Breakfast tea and wrap my Snuggie around me as I recover.

Enjitsu claims to have some kind of purported connection to Shingon (which is suspect as Eijo earlier has pointed out and Eijo indeed is a recognized authority), yet he's saying one can't be ordained while married (this is contrary to how Shingon actually is).
Indeed. I was going to ask enjitsu about this and other of his/her claims.
Since this is a Tendai subforum, what I'd like to know most is what particular Tendai group enjitsu finds objectionable so we can discuss it concretely.
Clarification: None of the orders in Japan carry the pratimoksha vows anymore. All priests receive ordination via the bodhisattva precepts, thus no vows of celibacy are taken.

Brian Purdy has been named Senior Vice President and Market Manager for CBS RADIO Houston, it was announced today by Dan Mason, President and CEO, CBS RADIO. Purdy will oversee the Company's stations in the market (which currently include KILT-AM, KILT-FM, KKHH-FM and KIKK-AM) in addition to his responsibilities managing CBS RADIO's assets in Dallas, a position he has held since 2004. The appointment is effective immediately.
In addition to its four properties in Houston, CBS RADIO is in the process of acquiring two other Houston stations, KLOL-FM (Mega 101.1) and KHMX-FM (Mix 96.5), from Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
"Brian is a terrific market manager who has done an outstanding job positioning our Dallas properties as best in class and leaders in the industry," said Mason. "Houston's proximity to Dallas has previously allowed for synergies we're not able to realize in some of our other markets. Now with Brian at the helm of both operations we'll be able to fully take advantage of our resources and the expertise of our employees with greater efficiency. Working together we'll elevate all our assets to an entirely new level."
Purdy succeeds Laura Morris in Houston. Morris will be staying on to assist with the transition.
Prior to joining CBS RADIO, Purdy was Vice President/Market Manager for Clear Channel's Dallas operations (2002-03). He began his career with Clear Channel in Houston serving in various capacities, including Market Manager, from 1996-2001.
In a related announcement, Sarah Frazier will serve as Director of Sales for CBS RADIO Houston. In this position, Frazier will be responsible for managing the Company's monthly and annual sales objectives for the market, as well as driving strategy to grow CBS RADIO's revenue.
For the past five years Frazier has served as General Sales Manager for CBS RADIO's KLUV-FM and KMVK-FM in Dallas. She served in a similar capacity for Clear Channel in Dallas from 2002-04. Frazier began her radio career at Entercom in Kansas City as an account executive in 1999. She was graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in broadcast sales and management.

Thyroid Diseases
Synthroid and T3 and T4 and TSH
I understand that T3 is available through Synthroid. Shouldn`t T3 be tested along with T4 to make sure that one is not over converting? Is it true that high amounts of T3 can cause insomnia? What is the ideal level for TSH with hormone supplementation? What is the ideal free T-4 and free T-3 level? Thank you!
To answer your first question, any circulatory T4 will be converted to T3 but at a steady state so usually T3 level can be estimated based on T4 level except a few exceptions. As for the rest of your question, primary hypothyroidism diagnosed based on abnormal thyroid function test and specific clinical finding is treated with thyroid hormone replacement. The goal of this therapy is to create a normal thyroid function state that can be assessed by TSH level; generally serum TSH values between 1 and 3 mu/L are considered normal (95 percent of euthyroid volunteers have serum values between 0.4 and 2.5 mU/L). Unless, taking T4 is inconsistent, T4 or T3 are normal in view of normal TSH.

Luck....sheer luck that the Pacers were able to pull this very ugly win.
PG24 tying the game with a 4 point play.....to me....part skill ( yes, All Star Skill ), sheer luck that the shot went in and thanks to the stupidity of Derrick Williams.....a foul.
Also....when you have Thomas and Thornton score 80 points on your Team....I really don't know what to say. They just had their NBA 2k14 Game Sliders on 99 all night long.
I just pray that the thin air in Denver doesn't wear out the Team.

The college football picks for Week 10 are in, with Sporting News' Matt Hayes and Steve Greenberg offering their insight and analysis. (All times ET; all games Saturday unless noted)
Week 10 scoreboard | Conference Power Rankings: ACC | Big East | Big Ten | Big 12 | Pac-12 | SEC
No. 1 ALABAMA at No. 5 LSU, 8 p.m.
Greenberg (68-22; 5-5 last week): Alabama 20, LSU 13: My, my, it's tempting to side with utter BCS chaos. I've got the sort of shadow-casting schnozz that allows me to pretend not to see what's right under it, too. But no—I can't pick against the Tide. They're better than the Tigers pretty much across the board.
Hayes (67-23; 6-4 last week): Alabama 24, LSU 9: It's not all Zach Mettenberger's fault. LSU's offensive line is full of injuries, and its receivers haven't played near their ability. Frankly, it's a wonder LSU hasn't lost more games. Two unreal defenses; one balanced, confident offense that will eventually win the second half.
NO. 2 OREGON AT NO. 18 SOUTHERN CAL, 7 p.m.
Hayes: Oregon 47, Southern Cal 24: Hard to believe a team with this type of balance on offense — the Trojans can run just fine, thank you — can't at least get a decent defense in games that matter. Two words, my friends: wind sheer.
Greenberg: Oregon 37, Southern Cal 31: The Trojans need a running game—tick-tick-tick—to drain some clock in between downfield shots from Matt Barkley to Marqise Lee and Robert Woods. But they also need a defense that can compete with the faster-than-fast Ducks without getting gassed. Even with all that, they might still lose.
OKLAHOMA STATE at No. 3 KANSAS STATE, 8 p.m.
Greenberg: K-State 45, Oklahoma State 24: The Cowboys' defense came to life in October, holding Kansas, Iowa State and TCU—not exactly a murderer's row of offenses, mind you—to a combined 38 points. For his next trick, Collin Klein will see to it that the Wildcats outscore that trio by a touchdown.
Hayes: Kansas State 48, Oklahoma State 17: You had me at Kansas, Steveo. If you remember last season, Oklahoma State reached the 50s in the final two minutes to win by 7. That's not happening this time around, fellas. This will look more like West Virginia last month than last year in Stillwater.
PITTSBURGH at No. 4 NOTRE DAME, 3:30 p.m.
Hayes: Notre Dame 34, Pittsburgh 10: Another game, another blowout. If Notre Dame was going to stumble before the Southern Cal game in four weeks, it would be here — but only because Irish teams of the past have struggled in this rivalry. I don't know if everyone here realizes this yet, but this isn't your ND team of the past.
Greenberg: Notre Dame 30, Pittsburgh 13: Everett Golson was terrific in the huge win at Oklahoma, throwing with accuracy and moving in and out of the pocket with confidence and grace. The Irish have all they need to go 12-0.
MISSISSIPPI at No. 7 GEORGIA, 3:30 p.m.
Greenberg: Georgia 34, Ole Miss 24: The Rebs are dangerous in that a) their offense has playmakers, b) they're playing with confidence and c) they're just plain having fun out there. The Bulldogs won't lock this one down until late.
Hayes: Georgia 30, Ole Miss 28: I'm so, so close to calling this upset. A natural letdown game for a team with a quarterback that isn't playing well. That's a bad combination. Run the ball, Georgia. Run the ball until you can run no more. Then punt and let Ole Miss turn the ball over.
No. 14 OKLAHOMA at IOWA STATE, noon
Hayes: Iowa State 27, Oklahoma 24: That's right, an upset. There's only so many times OU can play well, then play awful. Then play well, then play awful. At some point, the awful overtakes the entire process — and the team gives in. That was one distraught team by the end of last week's beatdown by Notre Dame.
Greenberg: Oklahoma 34, Iowa State 17: It'll be close for a while—I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cyclones score a couple of first-half touchdowns—but the Sooners are going to settle in and keep moving toward a 10-win regular season. By the way, have you heard how many times ISU has beaten OU in 76 tries? Try five.
No. 16 TEXAS A&M at No. 17 MISSISSIPPI STATE, noon
Greenberg: MSU 34, TAMU 27: I don't see why the talented Bulldogs defense can't hang in there against Johnny Football. Florida completely shut him down for a half, and LSU roped him in for a whole game. MSU will finish drives against a suspect defense and end Manziel's Heisman long shot.
Hayes: Texas A&M 34, Mississippi State 24: I don't know if you know this or not, my friend, but LSU and Florida have two of the top five defenses in the nation. That's why Johnny Football struggled. And Mississippi State? I'm not including the seven preseason games in their faux top 20 defense ranking. Last week against Alabama was the first wakeup call. This week is No. 2.
TEXAS at No. 20 TEXAS TECH, 3:30 p.m.
Hayes: Texas Tech 51, Texas 27: This one is for all those emasculations the Longhorns laid on the Red Raiders all those seasons. For all those Texas Exes who look down on little brother from West Texas. And for Tommy Tuberville's hopes of returning to the SEC. Not necessarily in that order.
Greenberg: Texas 31, Texas Tech 28: There'll be some good carryover from last week's game-ending touchdown drive at Kansas. Not that anyone's going to brag about beating the Jayhawks, but success in that moment seems to have lifted some pressure from the shoulders of Mack Brown (11-3 vs. Tech) and the Longhorns.
No. 21 NEBRASKA at MICHIGAN STATE, 3:30 p.m.
Greenberg: Sparty 20, Huskers 17: Throw out those records: A better defense plus home-field advantage equals the salvation of a season for Mark Dantonio's program and another bitter pill to swallow for Bo Pelini.
Hayes: Michigan State 17, Nebraska 16: Welcome, everyone to the Big Ten — where the games are close because everyone looks and plays the same! Fear not, Big Red faithful. The Huskers will lose here (because it's a crapshoot with QB Taylor Martinez on the road) and still find a way to win the Legends Division. Because that's just the way it works this fall in the Big Ten.
No. 24 ARIZONA at No. 25 UCLA, 10:30 p.m.
Hayes: Arizona 45, UCLA 43: We've come to the point in Rich Rodriguez's first season at Arizona where his team must prove it can win on the road in a game that matters. Imagine this: if USC loses again in the league (hello, Saturday) and Arizona wins out (at UCLA, Colorado, at Utah, Arizona State), the Wildcats will play in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
Greenberg: UCLA 44, Arizona 38: Boy, this one's going to be a lot of fun. If the Bruins win, they'll be alone in first place in the Pac-12 South—and, this time, they won't be the butts of a joke of a potential league title-game matchup.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention to reduce sexual risk behaviors and enhance HIV-preventive behaviors among female sex workers (FSWs) in Yerevan, Armenia. The study design is a randomized controlled trial of 120 FSWs aged 18 and over recruited through Hope and Help NGO. Participants will complete an interviewer administered questionnaire collected at baseline, 3- and 6-month follow-up.
Subsequently, participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or a wait-list control. Those randomized to the intervention condition will receive a 2-hour one-on-one intervention session emphasizing HIV knowledge, self-efficacy, and condom use behaviors. They will also receive a 10-15 minute booster session at 3-month follow-up. The comparison condition is wait-listed, but have the choice of participating in the intervention program upon completion of the study.
The main outcome measure includes consistent condom use, defined as condom use during every episode of vaginal intercourse with clients. Other outcome measures are condom application by FSW and HIV- preventive behaviors such as condom use self-efficacy, knowledge of HIV transmission dynamics,perceived barriers to condom use and condom use errors.
Results from this pilot study are expected to inform a larger trial to be implemented with FSWs in Armenia, in an effort to devise gender and culturally relevant intervention programs to prevent HIV transmission in this vulnerable population.

New Project to Highlight History of Asian-Americans in Fairfax County
Braddock District Supervisor Sharon Bulova will host a community meeting to kick off a countywide Asian-American History Project. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Braddock Hall (immediately adjacent to the Braddock District Office), 9002 Burke Lake Road, Burke.
The project is designed to capture and tell the history of Asian-Americans who have made Fairfax County their home. The project will involve local Asian-American residents in the recording, preservation and promotion of history to produce a series of articles and books that describe the different groups of Asian-Americans and their contributions to and experiences in Fairfax County.
The project is being led by Cora Foley, director of the Filipino American Historical Society of Northern Virginia. "Supervisor Bulova agreed to sponsor the project as part of her leading role in developing Fairfax County history projects, most recently the 'Braddock's True Gold' project," Foley said.
The project also has the support of the Fairfax County History Commission. The commission wrote a letter to high school social studies teachers asking them to encourage their students to earn community service hours by participating in the project, according to Foley.
Bulova is inviting Asian-American and non-Asian-American county residents to come to next week's meeting, see what the project is about and volunteer their time. The meeting will include presentations on Asian immigration to Fairfax County, as well as the organization and structure of similar history projects.
For additional information on the Asian-American History Project, contact Foley at 703-250-1830, TTY 711 or email@example.com. For additional information about the community meeting, contact Christina Fullmer in the Braddock District Office at 703-425-9300, TTY 711, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

In the US, TNT network has launched a micro-site to promote its upcoming television series "Wanted". The best thing you find on the website is three interactive comic books presenting the show. Studiocom did an excellent job creating something really innovative and entertaining. The only problem, as AdJab also points out, is that you need to have Superman's sight to read the text in the boxes.

Topic: Dad has found peace...
Daddy was called home this morning at about 6:30. Mom was with him when he passed, which is how I believe he wanted it. Its a sad day and I miss him already, but I am thankful that he has finally found his peace, and pray that his "other world" is as beautiful as he described it. I am sure it will hit me over the next few days that my sweet and kind Daddy is gone, but right now I am tired and want nothing more then to sleep.
Thinking of you all - thank you for your constant love and support.

(AP) LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Police Department said its detectives have apologized to the family of Notorious B.I.G. for failing to warn them that it planned to release his long-sealed autopsy report 15 years after his murder.
The department said in a statement Saturday that detectives had intended to notify the rapper's family, but the report was released prematurely "due to an administrative error."
The Los Angeles Times reports detectives released the 15-year-old report last week in hopes of getting new tips in the unsolved murder. The report revealed that injuries caused by a single bullet killed the rapper during a drive-by shooting in March 1997.He suffered three other bullet wounds.
The attorney for the rapper's family complained Friday that he was not given any notice that the report would be released and criticized police for not closing the high-profile case.

Ramos credits pitchers for his numbers behind plate
WASHINGTON -- Entering Sunday's action against the Cubs, Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos had thrown out 53 percent of would-be basestealers this season. Last year, Ramos threw out 29 percent. What's the reason for the improvement? According to Ramos, it helps that the Nationals' pitchers are quicker to the plate and holding runners a lot better.
"I'm not trying anything. I try to be quick behind the plate, just put the ball in the air and see what happens. That's what I like to do," Ramos said. "The pitchers help us a lot. That's good."
Ramos' bat is also coming around. Since coming off the disabled list on June 26, Ramos was 9-for-26 (.346) in seven games. When he is at the plate, Ramos likes to hit the ball up the middle or go to right field.
"Most of the time, I like to stay to the middle," Ramos said. "Most of the time, the ball goes to right field. I love to go the other way. That's the way I love to hit. I don't like to pull the ball too much."
In Saturday's game against the Cubs, Ramos went 2-for-5 with an RBI. In the third inning, he drove a ball that hit the right-field wall for a single, which scored Ian Desmond. Ramos admitted he thought the ball was gone for a home run, so he stood at home plate and wasn't able to reach second base.
But Ramos learned his lesson, and in the seventh inning he legged out a double, which gave every indication that his right hamstring is fine.
"The leg is going [well]," Ramos said. "Running is getting better. I'm working every day. I feel more strong right now. That's what I want. I go out there and play smart."

What happens if I receive a scholarship from an outside source?
When you receive an award from an outside source, we will first fill any unmet need and then, if necessary, reduce your self-help resources (loan and/or work), and gift aid. We do this to encourage you to seek outside sources of aid. In recognition of the effort you made to obtain the award, we do not first seek to reduce your grant aid. However, any scholarships awarded over the amount of unmet need and self-help may result in a reduction of Saint Anselm College grant and/or scholarship aid.
Students must notify the Office of Financial Aid of any outside scholarship(s) received due to the federal government's mandates. We must include all outside scholarships as part of your financial aid funding.
How do I apply for a merit scholarship?
Saint Anselm automatically considers all qualified applicants. We base selection on rigor of your high-school curriculum, secondary school grade-point average, rank in class, standardized test scores, overall superior academic performance, and extracurricular involvement.
Can middle-income families with relatively high incomes qualify for financial aid?
Yes. Families with two or more children in college at the same time, for example, often demonstrate financial need even though they might be considered in the upper-middle income category. The average family income of Saint Anselm freshmen receiving need-based grant or scholarship aid has been $75,275. Students who believe they need financial assistance to meet the cost of attending Saint Anselm College should apply for financial aid.

Quote Of The Day: Jim Starlin
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics
"This is probably one of the first concept drawings of Thanos I ever did, long before I started working at Marvel. Jack Kirby's Metron is clearly the more dominant influence in this character's look. Not Darkseid. Both D and T started off much smaller than they eventually became. This was one of the drawings I had in my portfolio when I was hired by Marvel. It was later inked by Rich Buckler."

Belkin AC1000 and AC1200 802.11ac routers available this month
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wireless / WiFi
Belkin is set to release its new routers, compatible with the 802.11ac standard, at the end of the month. The Belkin AC1000 and AC1200 are both dual-band routers that support 802.11ac/b/g/n and each has four Gigabit Ethernet ports built in as well. The differences between the two? The AC1000 will sell for $139 and provides maximum throughput of 665Mbps on 5 GHz, while the AC1200 will cost $20 more and provide max throughput of 867Mbps. Only problem now is that, even if you pick one up, you'll have to get a compatible phone or laptop (only ASUS offers one at the moment) if you want the maximum Wi-Fi speeds that these things can provide. Just consider it an investment in the future.

Ask Andru: Is Wii U really a next-generation console?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Editorial, Features, Video Games
Today we received a question about Nintendo's upcoming console release, Wii U, with GeekWire reader Alex wondering why the company continues to release new peripherals for a console that's seen better days.
Question: What's up with the Wii U? Why is Nintendo releasing yet another expensive peripheral for the aging Wii?
Nintendo originally announced Wii U in June 2011 in a vague manner, leaving much of the pertinent details left to the imagination. Because of this, many assumed that Wii U was the name of the new tablet-esque controller, and that it would interface with the Wii console that originally hit stores in November 2006. Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth.

Kelly Osbourne tests out the yoga workout that cures aches, pains, and a bad mood.

Kelly Osbourne tests out the yoga workout that cures aches, pains, and a bad mood.More
Having a stress-induced seizure recently (at 28!) taught me that being healthy is not just about diet and fitness—there's a mental component. So this month, I decided to try restorative yoga. I was worried it would be too hippie for me, like meditation (I just start laughing when someone tells me to imagine myself as a snowflake). But I enjoyed it. I couldn't believe how it changed my mood from annoyed to happy. You can find classes at your local yoga studio or gym, or do it at home by following along with a free online video or a DVD like Jill Miller's Yoga Tune Up ($14.96 at amazon.com). Here are three poses from Miller that unwind any body.
All-in-one pose. Great for undoing the kinks in your back and hamstrings. Lie on your back in a corner of the room. Cross your left leg over your body. Place your right hand on the wall (use a book if you can't reach). Twist your torso so your back is flat; hang out here for a little while. Then switch sides.

Arkansas does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program for the state; therefore, private sector workplaces must comply with federal occupational safety and health standards.
Public sector employers (state and local government agencies and school systems) are governed by state occupational safety and health requirements that are significantly less comprehensive than federal requirements. There are no state rules for material handling in public sector workplaces.
The U.S. Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) administers and enforces federal workplace safety and health requirements in private sector workplaces in the state. The Arkansas Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health investigates complaints, accidents, and fatalities in public sector workplaces and checks for violations of state safety and health regulations.

Now the ankle is feeling a lot better and so are the Komets after Brittain's hat trick and two goals from Luca Caputi helped them blow out Kalamazoo 7-3 Wednesday night before 6,275 Memorial Coliseum fans.
``I feel great, the ankle is under control,'' Brittain said. ``It's just a matter of doing some rehab and making sure it's strong. It's just a little adversity and a matter of moving forward. I'm taking care of it.''
In other words, he's not coming out of the lineup.
``My priority is to help this team every night any way that I can,'' he said. ``The determining factor on whether or not I play is if I can contribute or not. That's it.''
The win evened the Komets' home record at 5-5, gave them four wins in their last six games overall and kept them three points up on Kalamazoo for third place in the ECHL's North Division. They are heading into road games Friday at Reading and Saturday at Wheeling.
``We've won four of six now against some pretty good hockey clubs, so I think we're making a bit of a statement now,'' Komets coach Al Sims said.
It certainly helped that recently arrived forwards Caputi and Ryan Lasch are starting to feel more comfortable after being sent down six games ago from Norfolk of the American Hockey League. Along with Caputi's two goals, Lasch passed three assists, as did Brett Smith coming off injured reserve.
Matt Firman and J.M. Rizk also scored as the Komets got goals from all three lines for the first time this season.
``It was an adjustment the first couple of games, but I feel more confident every game,'' said Caputi who has played 35 NHL games. ``Hopefully we can build off this.''
They just need more first periods like they had Wednesday. The Komets outshot the Wings 14-3 in the first 13 minutes and led 3-0, playing very aggressively, almost anxiously as they charged off the bench. Caputi tried seven shots in the first period and finished with 10 for the game.
Whenever the Wings did make a charge, Charlie Effinger stymied them in the Fort Wayne goal.
``It was kind of an unusual game that we got out to an early lead against a good hockey team,'' Effinger said. ``I felt at some point they were going to have a flurry to try and get themselves back into the game. Being up three, four goals, I just wanted to weather the storm as best I could to keep everything going forward. By doing that, you make it harder and harder for them to come back.''Captain Colin Chaulk is doubtful to play the rest of this week with his shoulder. ... Eric Giosa might get to play around Christmas, Komets General Manager David Franke said. If this were the playoffs, Giosa would probably be a gametime decision, but the Komets want to make sure he's 100 percent when he comes back. ... Goaltender Marco Cousineau is skating every day and is getting close to returning. ... Norfolk General Manager and Anaheim Assistant General Manager Bob Ferguson was at the game, as was Los Angeles Kings scout Robbie Laird. ... The Komets left immediately after the game for Reading.

SANTA CLARA -- Nnamdi Asomugha backpedaled fast, read the route and aggressively cut in front of wideout Marlon Moore to knock away Colin Kaepernick's pass.
If Asomugha keeps that up, cracking the 49ers roster shouldn't be a problem once training camp ends.
Saturday, the 49ers suited up in pads for the first time, and that allowed Asomugha to show the press-coverage skills that once made him an elite cornerback.
"It's definitely good for when you want to be aggressive, to have the pads back on," Asomugha, 32, said. "Until now, it's been just working on your feet and hands. Now the aggressive part starts."
The 49ers return all five of cornerbacks from last season's NFC-winning team, and although Asomugha brings 10 years of experience, he must show the top-notch form he developed his first eight seasons with the Raiders rather than his subpar level the past two years with the Philadelphia Eagles.
So far, Asomugha is pleased with how he has meshed with what he calls a "really nice" scheme, one that offers a seemingly balanced mix of man and zone coverages.
"One of the big things I've been happy about it is my ability to make plays on the defense so far, from this spring into summer," said Asomugha, who stands to make $1.35 million if he makes the opening-day roster.
Just as were the Raiders in Asomugha's rookie year 2003, the 49ers are coming off a Super Bowl defeat. Asomugha has never played on a playoff team. He senses something special with the 49ers, stating: "All 32 teams think this is going to be the year they win the Super Bowl. It's coming from a real place, here. I've never been around that."
Asomugha's 6-foot-2 frame isn't just benefiting the cornerback corps but also the 49ers' receivers. "That's going to be good work for us, because we go up against a lot of cornerbacks with that long body like his, those tall guys up north," wideout Kyle Williams said, referring to Seattle Seahawks cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner.
Williams declared himself "fine" afterward, adding he also was relieved at how his surgically repaired left knee responded from a hard landing on a 40-yard touchdown catch.
Meanwhile, rookie Quinton Patton practiced with a cast on his left hand's index and middle fingers, and second-year wideout A.J. Jenkins endured a rough session that included two drops.
Williams got hurt after racing hauling in that 40-yard pass from Colin Kaepernick while beating safety Eric Reid, the 49ers' first-round draft pick. Williams then had a trainer examine his right hamstring, while a grass stain covered his left knee, in which he tore the anterior cruciate ligament eight months ago.
"That was the first time I landed on it in a game-type situation," Williams said of his knee. "Everything out here is going to be a good test to reintroduce my knee to football-type action."
Left tackle Joe Staley teased Snyder about that one-year abroad with the Cardinals: "He made that one-time mistake, and he's come back to the good side."

Detailed Description:
This study is being done to find out whether a nutritional supplement, called BioResponse-DIM (BR-DIM [oral microencapsulated diindolylmethane]), improves the survival for women who have residual cancer cells following surgery after chemotherapy for breast cancer. BR-DIM is an active ingredient in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts and cauliflower). Consumption of these vegetables has been associated with a decreased risk in several cancers. Researchers also hope to find out whether different biomarkers (also called "markers") in the blood predict the chance of breast cancer returning. BR-DIM is thought to be effective in treating stage II-III breast cancer that is triple negative, AR positive (+), and where there is residual cancer cells in the breast after chemotherapy.

Jack Parker announces retirement, says coaching Boston University has been 'a wonderful ride'
On the day of his 68th birthday, Boston University men's hockey coach Jack Parker, flanked by university president Robert A. Brown and athletic director and assistant vice president Mike Lynch, announced his retirement at the end of the 2012-13 season.
His decision signals the end of an illustrious 40-year career in which he captured 894 wins – the most by a coach at a single school – and he ranks third all-time behind Boston College's Jerry York and Ron Mason (Michigan State) in college hockey coaching victories.
Parker guided the Terriers to three national championships (the most recent a 4-3 overtime win against Miami (Oh.) in 2009), seven Hockey East titles and a record 21 Beanpot Tournament championships.
In the Francis D. Burke Club Room at Agganis Arena, Parker answered the most sought question: Why now?
"I've been a coach here for 44 years and a player, so for 48 out of the last 49 years, I've been reporting for duty for BU hockey,'' Parker said. "That's enough – it's a tough job. It takes a lot out of you.
"I didn't want to do it earlier on in the season and go through a farewell tour of all the other rinks in the league – that's not me and I didn't want that to happen. I also didn't want to wait until the end of the year and tell [the team] when all the games are over, 'That would be the last time I coached you.'
"I always talked about BU being a family. I wanted to have the team know we'll go through this together and this would be my last experience.''
The Terriers, who finished this season 18-15-2, enter the Hockey East tournament as the No. 3 seed. They will face No. 6 Merrimack Friday at Agganis Arena at 7.
"I've had a wonderful ride here,'' Parker said. "I'd like to thank everybody involved with my career here. It won't hit me because we have games to play and practice tomorrow. It probably won't hit me until next October.''
Brown said that Parker will remain with the school in a fundraising capacity in an effort to make athletics an integral part of the school's fundraising campaign.
"Jack's connection with alumni and friends will be invaluable,'' Brown said. "Jack has had an outstanding career at BU. He's been a mentor and coach to so many great young men throughout the years – that will be a very important part of his legacy.''
Lynch added that the search for a new coach will commence soon.
"In weeks ahead, we'll be assessing the interest of many potential candidates,'' Lynch said. "It's a marquee job – it's the best job in college hockey particularly because of [Parker]. It hasn't been open in a long time. It will be an enormously important position, and it will be handled at the highest level of the University.''
As for what Parker hopes to see in his successor?
"Somebody who is sincere and cares about the players,'' Parker said.
Last year, the program came under scrutiny when two players were accused of sexual assault in separate incidents that occurred fewer than three months apart. The school formed a task force and commissioned a report to look into the hockey program. The conclusions of the report were that the players were given star treatment and that there was "a culture of sexual entitlement.''
The school revoked Parker's title as executive athletic director but didn't conclude the coach knew of anything inappropriate going on with his players.
