The Pentagon has suspended dealings with its main supplier of munitions to the Afghan government after some cartridges delivered from China and various former eastern bloc countries were found to be more than 40 years old.
Details of the Miami-based company, identified as AEY Inc – headed by Efraim Diveroli, 22, who has little experience in the arms business, and a vice-president who was a licensed masseur – were revealed yesterday by The New York Times. The suspension seems to have been triggered by evidence that the men misled US officials about the true sources of the equipment and, in particular, that large consignments of cartridges had originated in China, which may have been a violation both of its contract and United States law.
AEY struck lucky when it was chosen as the Pentagon's lead munitions supplier for Afghanistan, with one federal contract awarded to it last year worth in excess of $300m (£150m). AEY is also under criminal investigation by the Defence Department and Customs and Excise. The affair is also deeply embarrassing for the Pentagon, which decided to turn to the private sector to keep the Afghan forces supplied when the insurgency in the country intensified in 2006.
But in awarding contracts, procurement officials appear to have been astonishingly careless in vetting those contractors or stipulating limits on the provenance or quality of the munitions.
That such an important deal should have been handed to a man so young, and with a record of repeated clashes with law enforcement officers in Miami related to disputes with girlfriends and minor assaults, will leave many officials red-faced. Nor was it reassuring to discover that the main skills of the second most senior executive at AEY were in massage techniques.
Mr Diveroli told the New York Times he was unaware of the Pentagon's decision to bar him from future contracts. Officials said a letter confirming the move had been sent to him on Tuesday.
Last December, he had denied any suggestion of wrongdoing. "I know that my company does everything 100 per cent on the up-and-up, and that's all I'm concerned about," he said.
But it appears that at least some of the ammunition he supplied had come from stockpiles of obsolete and unreliable weaponry already designated for destruction by Nato. Experts say cartridges can become less efficient and possibly defective after a certain number of years. AEY also reportedly dispatched some consignments in crumbling packaging.
An Afghan commander in Nawa, an outpost near the Pakistan border, said a cardboard box of cartriges split, to reveal that they had been made in China in 1966. "This is what they give us for the fighting," said Amanuddin, a colonel, who like many Afghans uses only one name. "It makes us worried because too much of it is junk."
Also under scrutiny are the identities of shell companies and murky middle-men that Mr Diveroli apparently engaged to negotiate the purchase of the equipment from Kazakhstan and east European states including Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Romania and Slovakia.
A taped telephone conversation involving Mr Diveroli reportedly hinted at corruption in the acquisition of 100 million rounds of ammunition from Albania. Investigators also suspect that some entities who worked with AEY may appear on US lists of illegal arms traffickers.

It is more important than ever to stress the importance of taking individual responsibility for health. This includes for example, adopting a healthier lifestyle, staying active, eating healthily, only using alcohol in moderation and not smoking.
The Self Care forum uses a self-care continuum to illustrate what is meant by self care. Self care starts with an individual taking responsibility for making daily choices about their lifestyle, such as brushing their teeth, eating healthily or choosing to exercise. At the opposite end of the continuum is major trauma where responsibility for care is entirely in the hands of the healthcare professionals, until the start of recovery when self care can begin again. The NHS can support people to self care at any point during the continuum. Around 80% of all care in the UK is self care.
Many people use the terms self care and self management interchangeably. However, there are important distinctions between the two. Self management will usually be used in relation to long-term, chronic health conditions while self care applies to acute illness or injuries. Self management is about coping with long-term health conditions, and managing the emotional and practical issues they present. Self care focuses more on treatment.
Around 15 million people in England have one or more long-term conditions, and this is predicted to rise by a third over the next ten years (Department of Health 2011).
Self management UK defines self management as: "The systematic process of learning and practicing skills which enable individuals to manage their health condition on a day-to-day basis, through practicing and adopting specific behaviours which are central to managing their condition, making informed decisions about care, and engaging in healthy behaviours to reduce the physical and emotional impact of their illness, with or without the collaboration of the health care system."
Put simply, self management offers a way for people with long term conditions to create a more sustainable way of living with a health condition.
As a nurse you have a clear role in supporting patients in making healthy choices and in directing people to useful sources of information. You can also provide advice, education and training to help people manage their condition, to know when to seek medical help and when they can self-manage their symptoms.
The NHS Choices webpage Your health, your way - Your NHS guide to long-termconditions and self care provides some useful information. See also: SelfCare Week 2015 Resources – Self care for life.
It is important to make sure we take prescribed medication as advised and do not take antibiotics unnecessarily. It is also about the supported self-management for people living with long term conditions.
Over use of antibiotics is of increasing concern and antibiotic resistance (AMR Antimicrobial resistance) is a major problem, see: World Health Organization - Antimicrobial resistance. It is seen as one of the most significant threats to patients' safety in Europe. Better controls are needed to prevent over use of antibiotics and appropriate education programmes set in place to ensure patients know when to take them properly.
Without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics. The public, students and educators, farmers, the veterinary and medical communities and professional organisations are being asked to become Antibiotic Guardians. This is a UK wide initiative led by Public Health England.
The Department of Health's UK 5 YearAntimicrobial Resistance Strategy 2013 to 2018 sets out actions to slow the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance with a focus on antibiotics.
Local pharmacists are increasingly a source of information and advice for people in supporting self-care. The NHS Minor Ailment service is now available through many community pharmacies. See: The Royal College of Pharmacists animation on Minor Ailment Services. The service is very often more convenient and the results for patients just as good as being seen at a GP surgery or in A&E.
A campaign from Pharmacy Voice and PAGB (Proprietary Association of Great Britain) has urged people to self-treat winter ailments such as coughs and colds rather than going to the GP surgery and asking for antibiotics which are ineffective in treating the symptoms of viral infections. The campaign ran until the end of February 2014, see: Treat yourself better withpharmacist advice.
The RCN healthy workplace site has lots of information and support for nursing staff on staying healthy and making the most of work life balance and for employers to creating a good working environment.
Self Care Forum. This forum aims to further the reach of self-care and embed it into everyday life. 'Empowering people with the confidence and information to look after themselves when they can, and visit the GP when they need to, gives people greater control of their own health and encourages healthy behaviours that help prevent ill health in the long-term.' The Self Care Forum has developed a range of useful resources, including: factsheets; best practice case studies; top tips and a patient portal giving self-care advice to patients.
Self Help UK is a free and non-profit making website which provides information on self-help organisations for specific medical conditions diseases and treatments for patients, carers and their relatives. Self Help UK is provided by Intuition Communication Ltd, specialists in health care publishing on the Internet. The website includes a database of over 1,000 self-help organisations, patient support groups and charities across the UK that provide support, guidance and advice to patients, carers and their relatives.

Lahore, Jan.16 (ANI): Troubles for Pakistani actress Meera have increased furthermore, as she has been served a legal notice to vacate her house within the next 15 days.
The notice was sent by one Raja Khalid, who claimed that Meera had sold her house for 20 million rupees but is yet to vacate it, The Daily Times reports.
Meera, however, has rebuked the claims about selling the house and said that she has not received any such legal notice.
Earlier, Pakistani authorities had served a notice to Meera for failing to submit property tax for the past four years.The Lollywood actress had failed to clear the tax dues despite several reminders from the tax department.
"Meera has been served a number of notices on her real name Irtiza Arbab but she failed to clear the tax dues. If she fails to submit the outstanding amount of 217,000 rupees in property tax till January 15, her house will be sealed," Excise Officer Malik Muhammad Aslam had said.
A few days ago Meera was held at the Karachi Airport for carrying two passports in her name on arrival from the US.
Meera, who went to the US on her second passport and returned on the previous one, may face three years imprisonment with penalty for infringing the Passport Act.
Meera had also been embroiled in a marriage scandal earlier. (ANI)

Weighing the loyalties in Tripoli
Player utilities
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Marco Werman: Meanwhile, the fighting continues in Libya today. The Gaddafi regime attacked rebels in Zawiya That's the closest opposition-held city to the capital, Tripoli. Reports from there say there were several people killed and hundreds injured. Pro-Gaddafi forces also tried to wrest control of an oil port that's in rebel hands. There were also reports of a deadly explosion at a rebel arms depot in the eastern city of Benghazi. The BBC's Kevin Connolly is in Benghazi. He says it's hard to assess the outcome of all the clashes.
Kevin Connolly: The nature of Libya is that it is a vast country stretched over a dessert. There are huge gaps between towns. It's a place of whisper and rumor at the best of times. And this is not the best of times. So there are reports of fighting down the postal highway that links Benghazi to Tripoli, perhaps a quarter of the way towards Tripoli, but we think they are fairly light, fairly brief engagements. It's almost as though the two sides are probing and skirmishing. Certainly, the revolutionaries believe that they only have to turn up in a town and spread their idea of revolt against Muammar Gaddafi and that then towns will fall, if you like, as much to the force of their ideas as to the force of their arms. I think they are meeting resistance in some places. People loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, and there are people loyal to him, are fighting back. It is very hard to judge the balance of those confrontations but, I think more of the country than not remains under the control of Muammar Gaddafi and, crucially, so does the capital, Tripoli, where more than one-third of the population lives.
Werman: So are these citizens doing the fighting, or are these soldiers that have kind of gone rogue?
Connolly: One of the interesting things about this confrontation, Marco, is it's not really clear to what extent Libya had a formal army. Over the years, Gaddafi distrusted the army so much he effectively disbanded the kind of things you or I might regard as a formal army and replaced it with what he calls [s/l: Kateevers???], sort of Brigades based on loyalty to individual generals or to Gaddafi's sons. Now, some of those people have defected to the rebels, but a lot of people doing the fighting on the rebel side, certainly, are civilians who lack trucks, they lack tactics, they lack training. There is a very big job ahead of anyone who wants to build a rebel army here. We're talking about months, maybe years, to do that. The quality of the armed force deployed on either side of this engagement is extremely hard to assess, as I say. Even intelligence experts are not sure to what extent Gaddafi retained a real formal military capacity and, certainly, the rebels will struggle to put credible forces into the field anytime soon. They're training people, they say. But, of course, that is not a quick job.
Werman: So, understanding this context of rumor and innuendo in Libya, it almost sounds like what you're saying is the rebels succeeded in controlling Benghazi, but now it sounds like they might not have the power and the wherewithal to complete their mission. Maybe the message of the rebels to the citizenry of Libya to fight Gaddafi isn't sticking.
Connolly: I think there is a real possibility that is the case. Certainly, when I first arrived in Benghazi it was, to some extent, still, I suppose, a hot location. There was a tremendous sense of passion and excitement and a conviction that somehow the momentum of revolution would spread 1,000 miles around the coastal highway of the Mediterranean from Benghazi to Tripoli and that somehow they were unstoppable, that this revolution would follow Tunisia and Egypt, and that Gaddafi would, somehow, inevitably fall. But this country is very different. Gaddafi has used a level of force that was not displayed in Tunisia and Egypt. He has, to some extent, I suppose, been preparing for this moment for a very long time. He has always been very suspicious of coups and plots against him. So the chance the rebels face here is an enormously difficult one, against a man who is a brutal and ruthless dictator utterly determined to hang onto power. The rebels believe that their message is popular. They are utterly convinced that Gaddafi has very little genuine support, but they do accept that he has the power of power of patronage, at least, of intimidation and, of some degree of armed force. I would say it is almost certain that in parts of the country at least, he does also retain genuine support and loyalty. After 41 years it would be surprising if he didn't. So the rebels do have a difficult job.
Werman: Finally, Kevin, given the uncertain strength of the opposition, have you spoken with anyone in Benghazi about their fear of reprisals?
Connolly: I'll tell you this, when we first arrived here we spoke to people and there was, I am not being negative about this aspect of it, a great joy and freedom. The kind of things that you and I take for granted, Marco, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, the right to do as we please and say as we please about our leaders and vote against our leaders. Watching people discover those freedoms is an extraordinarily humbling and inspiring experience. Towards the end of the first week here, people have been saying to us very much the same kinds of things, but they've also been saying, ââ?¬Ë?please don't use my name.' You only say that if you think the old regime is still watching and still has some power over you. Now part of that is a habit of fear built up in 40 years. Part of it is a nagging doubt that somehow Gaddafi is not entirely done.
Werman: The BBC's Kevin Connolly in Benghazi, Libya. Thank you so much, Kevin.
Connolly: Thanks, Marco.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
For eligibility, medicaid uses the household income tests and since my parents live with me, our household income is above the eligible limits. Hence they will not qualify for Medicaid, but that doesn't seem right as I'm only helping and supporting them.
Either one of your parents or both of your paretns may qualify. Your income or assets will not impact your parents ability to qualify for State of Florida Medicaid. I suggest you seeing an Elder Law attorney in your area to discuss these details and they can assit you and your parents in Medicaid planning before they apply for Mediciad determination which will normally take less than 45 days. Although there are income and assets limits amoung other issues designed for applicants that may change every years, an attorney can assist, and provide some asset protection planning to insure your parents utilize these entitlements appropriately.Ask a similar question
I am not licensed in your state. This is a complex area of the law and you should consult with an experienced elder law attorney rather than try to qualify your parents yourself. Mistakes made by well meaning family members can sometimes be irrevocable.Ask a similar question
You haven't indicated which Medicaid program you want for your parents. There are a number of Medicaid programs that have varying eligibility requirements. If you are seeking long term care in an assisted living facility or a skilled nursing facility, there are three prongs for establishing eligibility: medical necessity (known as "level of care"); meeting an income cap of $2,022 per month (and/or establishing a Qualified Income Trust to hold excess income over the monthly cap of $2,022) and maximum assets of $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple. Your household income will not be the determining factor - eligibility is determined by the income and assets of the applicants. In addition, if either of your parents served in the armed services during wartime, they may be eligible for pension benefits from the Veterans Administration. I suggest that you consult with a local elder law attorney - you can locate an elder law attorney at the website for the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys: http://www.afela.org.Ask a similar question

As described on the NASA LVIS Web site, a laser altimeter is an instrument that measures range from the instrument to a target object or surface. The device sends a laser beam toward the target, and measures the time it takes for the signal to reflect back from the surface. Knowing the precise round-trip time it takes for the reflection to return yields the range to the target.
Figure 1 shows two examples of return energy waveforms. A simple waveform occurs where the ice surface is relatively smooth within the footprint of the laser pulse (approximately 20 meters in diameter). Mean noise level, provided with the Level-1B data product, provides the threshold relative to which the centroid and all modes are later computed for the Level-2 data product. A complex waveform might be returned from a rougher ice surface and could contain more than one mode, originating from different reflecting surfaces within the laser footprint such as crevasse sides and bottom, open water, large snowdrifts, and other steep or multiple slopes. A complex waveform would be more typically returned from multilevel vegetation landcover such as a forest.
Figure 1. Sample Level-1B Product Waveforms Illustrating Some Possible Distributions of Reflected Light
LVIS employs a signal digitizer, disciplined with a very precise oscillator, to measure both the transmitted and reflected laser pulse energies versus time. These digitized and captured photon histories are known as waveforms. For the outgoing pulse, it represents the profile of the individual laser shot, and for the return pulse it records the interaction of that transmitted pulse with the target surface.
Processing of these waveforms yields many products, but the primary is range from the instrument to the Earth's surface and the distribution of reflecting surfaces within the area of the laser footprint. For vegetated terrain these surfaces are tree canopies, branches, other forms of vegetation, and open ground. For cryospheric data these surfaces are snow, ice, crevasses, snowdrifts, sea ice possibly interspersed with open ocean, exposed rock, and water.
LVIS uses a waveform-based measurement technique to collect data instead of just timing detected returns of the laser pulse. The return signal is sampled rapidly, and stored completely for each laser shot. Retaining all waveform information allows post processing of the data to extract many different products. With the entire vertical extent of surface features recorded, metrics can be extracted about the sampled area. An advantage of saving all of the waveform data is that new techniques can be applied to these data long after collection to extract even more information. See the NASA LVIS Web site.
The LVIS L0 data are raw unprocessed data. No derivation techniques, algorithms, or processing steps are used.
As described on the NASA LVIS Web site the Land, Vegetation, and Ice Sensor is an airborne LIDAR scanning laser altimeter used by NASA for collecting surface topography and vegetation coverage data. LVIS uses a signal digitizer with oscillator to measure transmitted and reflected laser pulse energies versus time capturing photon histories as waveforms. The laser beam and telescope field of view scan a raster pattern along the surface perpendicular to aircraft heading as the aircraft travels over a target area. LVIS has a scan angle of approximately 12 degrees, and can cover 2 km swaths from an altitude of 10 km. Typical collection size is 10 to 25 meter spots. In addition to waveform data, GPS satellite data is recorded at ground tie locations and on the airborne platform to precisely reference aircraft position. An IMU is attached directly to the LVIS instrument and provides information required for coordinate determination.

A tincture is a liquid extract made by soaking herbs in alcohol to extract the active ingredients from the herbs. Alcohol is considered an excellent solvent because it is food grade and can extract herbal constituents, such as resins and alkaloids, that are poorly soluble in water. After a number of weeks, the herbs are then strained and removed, leaving behind the liquid. A tincture can be made of a single herb or a combination of herbs.

Herbal tinctures are used because of their fast absorption and because of their long-shelf life. If the alcohol content of a tincture is a concern, glycerin extracts, capsules, or tablets may be used instead. Herbal tinctures are sold in health-food stores, some drug and grocery stores, and online. Some tinctures, such as arnica and compound tincture of benzoin, should only be used externally.

Types of Alcohol

The alcohol used in commercial herbal tinctures typically depends on the type of herb. Herbs with water soluble constituents are best extracted with a lower percentage of alcohol, while other constituents can only be extracted with higher levels of alcohol.

Commercial herbal tinctures are often made with pure alcohol made from corn, grape, wheat, or cane and distilled at or above 190 proof. Herbalists sometimes make herbal tinctures in small batches using vodka (80 to 100 proof).

Making a Tincture

Herbal tinctures are made by combining carefully sorting the plant parts, removing any unwanted parts. The herbs may be chopped coarsely before being placed into a glass jar. The jar should be labeled with details such as the name, plant part used, type of spirit, batch number, and date. The jar is filled with alcohol, capped tightly, and allowed to sit for weeks. It may be shaken regularly and the jar may be topped up with alcohol if necessary. The plant material is strained and removed, and the liquid is typically poured into small, labeled, glass bottles with dropper tops.

If dried herbs are used to make the tincture, a common ratio is 1 part dried plant material to 4 parts liquid (1:4 ratio). If fresh herbs are used, a common ratio is 1 part plant material to 1 part liquid (1:1 ratio).

Common Herbs

Herbs that are commonly used to make tinctures include basil, black walnut, catnip, chaga, chaste tree berry, dandelion, echinacea, ginkgo, hops, ginseng, feverfew, milk thistle, mint, oregano leaf, and reishi.

Uses for Tinctures

Tinctures are used for a variety of ailments and health concerns, such as sleep difficulties, migraines, nerve pain, sweating, menstrual cramps, and for colds.

ER experience
Dr Levin should have his license taken before he seriously harms someone...I was taken to the ER recently where he gave me three serious medications to include the narcotic drug Hydrocodon after asking me if I had pain. My response was yes my head is hurting from constant coughing. He then proceeded to prescribe a cough syrup with codeine which put me out for 6 hours when he knew I lived alone. This was extremely dangerous. But believe it or not, the worst and most dangerous thing tha he did was prescribe me an antibiotic used for skin rash. I had been taking the wrong drug for 4 days. It was when I went back to my primary dr. That I was told I had been prescribed the wrong medication for a persistent cough and clear chest mucous. He is dangerous!!!!!!

I'm in the process of writing a letter to the Hospital about the violently poor care, and consideration my girlfriend received under Dr. Levin. We left feeling no peace of mind, and even had to help his fumbling guesses as to what the problem was. He spent no time with us at all, and seemed like he had something better to do. The must disheartening care I've ever witnessed anyone get, not just by a doctor. I imagine a lengthy financial tug of war awaits me, because this man is not getting a dollar.

You have a couple of options.
1. Carry only items in you left hand.
2. Drop or throw at the perp what every you have in your right hand. Good tactical option but hard on the pocket book.
3. Carry a bug for your left hand.
I use all these options depending on the situation and glad you are thinking about these type of things.

Howdy Y'all! I'm just pleased as punch that you stopped by! "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could," pretty much sums up this California girl who now lives deep in the heart of Texas.I always knew I was destined for a life of adventure on the prairie! Okay, so I live a mile away from the Walmart… I didn't say a rural prairie. Nevertheless, I am thankful to have escaped the traffic of Southern California and am absolutely smitten to finally have a little homestead on the Texas Prairie.
I am a military wife, married to a Navy Pilot.
I am so blessed to be married to a man that I absolutely adore and am head over boots in love with…not to mention he never tires of talking airplane to me!
We have two (spoiled rotten) Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dolly and Dallas.We just love them to pieces.
I am kind of a jack-of-all-interests… always dabbling in something new. I would like to think that I am driven by my passion to learn and NOT my short attention span. Regardless, my taste is quite eclectic on the decorating spectrum… ranging from western chic to shabby chic… vintage chic to french chic and everything in between (as long as you throw a chic after it, I'll like it). Let the previous run-on sentence serve as Exhibit A to my startling next confession: I have a uncanny tendency to assign themes to everything… rooms, gifts, parties…blog entries…you name it. It is my signature of sorts…good or bad, I can't help it; I have a problem.
Other "problems" that I find often haunt my life are antiquing, treasure hunting, cooking, baking, cake decorating, creating, crafting, sewing, crocheting, painting, scrapbooking, decorating and gardening, to name a few. (Yes, you were warned about the jack-of-all-interests.)
I believe homekeeping is more than a dreaded chore… it is a privilege to create a safe nest, a cozy atmosphere, a place where strangers feel welcomed and your family feels loved. Never fall victim to "the details do not matter" mentality…for it is the details that make a house a home.
Amazingly, I do have interests outside of the domestic circle. I love, LOVE, LOVE Aviation. I love to fly! I have a BA in Psychology which comes in handy when I completely over-analyze people's behavior and motives, let alone dissect the dynamic of interpersonal relationships. I have also developed a fondness for travel and adventure (the safe, civilized kind haha).
Above everything else, I love and serve the Lord. He alone is the reason and purpose for my existence. I strive daily to follow Jesus's greatest commandments: to love the Lord my God with all of my heart and with all of my soul and with all of my mind and with all of my strength and to love my neighbor as myself. Mark 12:30-31
His word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15

Humphrey's effort earned him the status of All-American at the University of Alabama (1986 & '87). Humphrey is also number one on Alabama's all-time, all-purpose yards list for a career 4,958 yards and a season with 2,016.
"I did things no one else was willing to do, and that is how I got to all levels of football."
Humphrey was the first Denver Bronco to record back-to-back 1,000 yard rushing seasons (1989 & '90).
"I never dreamed or thought about playing in the NFL. I just loved football."
Humphrey's football experience naturally had an impact on his life. "The way I run my program (Head Coach Birmingham Steeldogs) is a reflection of me playing at Alabama, Denver and Miami. We ran a professional organization at Alabama. That experience has helped me with the Steeldogs. I want to run my program (Steeldogs) on a level like that at Alabama."
When asked if he had any aspirations to coach on another level Humphrey
admitted, "I have the desire to become a college or NFL coach. I can
motivate players to win and to become better citizens."
Bennett joined his former teammate Bobby Humphrey in the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. While it wasn't clear where Bennett would play when he arrived in Tuscaloosa, there was little doubt about where he ended up.
"Coach Perkins said he would try me two weeks at running back, two weeks at linebacker and two weeks at tight end," said Bennett. "After a couple of days at linebacker, Coach wanted to know how it was going. I said OK."
Bennett is known in most circles for the nickname "Biscuit." Bobby Humphrey recalls, "In high school, he ate about 12-14 biscuits his mom cooked and people started calling him Biscuit."
Bennett earned All-American honors three consecutive years (1984- '86). He also became the first linebacker to win the prestigious Vince Lombardi Trophy ('86). This award given annually to the top college lineman in the country.
Bennett played in five Super Bowls, four with the Buffalo Bills and one with the Atlanta Falcons.
Reginald "Mule" King is the only basketball player in the group inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of fame last weekend.
King was All-Time leading scorer at the University of Alabama (2,168) and named SEC Athlete of the Year in 1979.
King told a story about his neighborhood friend, Bennett. "I came home for a visit one time from the pros. Everyone was talking about Biscuit. I said I did not know anybody named Biscuit. They told me it was 'Fat Daddy'. I still call him that. It's all I knew."
King played six years in the NBA, four with the Kansas City Kings and two with the Seattle Supersonics.

The longlist, announced today, builds on the success story of Atonement, starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, at the Golden Globes and in nominations for the Orange British Academy Awards.
The film secures a further seven nominations in the Standard's annual tribute to movie-making in the UK.
Control, the story of Joy Division's frontman Ian Curtis, which swept the board at the British Independent Film Awards, is in with four chances of glory.
But there is recognition, too, for several films which have been overlooked by other awards.
They include Sunshine, the Danny Boyle/Alex Garland sci-fi drama, Hallam Foe, the story of a teenage misfit starring Bell, and It's A Free World..., Ken Loach's latest bid to tug the nation's social conscience. Each film has secured three nominations.
There Will Be Blood, the saga of an American oil prospector, gets nods for both its highly acclaimed leading man, Daniel Day-Lewis, and for Jonny Greenwood, the Radiohead guitarist, for his ambitious score.
When Did You Last See Your Father?, the adaptation of Blake Morrison's memoir, also picks up two nominations - for Jim Broadbent and its young star Matthew Beard.
The breadth of British acting talent is revealed in the best actor and best actress categories.
Both Knightley and McAvoy get a shot at honours for their performances in Atonement, the war-time love story adapted from Ian McEwan's novel.
Romola Garai, their more understated co-star, is also in with a chance for best actress - with competition from the ranks of Samantha Morton, Tilda Swinton, Golden Globe winner Julie Christie and Helena Bonham Carter, who is listed for her witty turn as a pie shop owner in Sweeney Todd and the romance Conversations With Other Women.
McAvoy's rivals include newcomer Sam Riley for his portrayal of Curtis in Control, Bell, Broadbent, Day-Lewis and Gabriel Byrne in Australian drama Jindabyne.
The strength of British writing is also acknowledged with Pinter, Christopher Hampton and Ronald Harwood - as well as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? creator Steven Knight - competing for best screenplay.
The variety ranges from The Magic Flute, Kenneth Branagh's film of the Mozart opera, to Brick Lane, director Sarah Gavron's adaptation of the Monica Ali novel.
Blue Blood, a low-budget documentary about students from Oxford University trying to make it into the Varsity boxing squad, is the wildcard entry for best film.
Music seemed so strong this year that the judges - Derek Malcolm and Charlotte O'Sullivan of the Evening Standard, James Christopher of The Times, Tim Robey of the Telegraph and Catherine Shoard of the Sunday Telegraph - instituted a best film score category to replace best comedy in what was deemed a poor year for humour.
Contenders alongside Greenwood include the songwriters for Once, a musical love story about a busker and an immigrant, and John Murphy and Underworld's score for Sunshine.
The results will be published in the Evening Standard on 4 February.

LOS ANGELES – Between the locker room door and Game 2, Kobe Bryant(notes) stopped to share a private lament to the most public issue of his championship chase.
"I can't stand it," Bryant told Yahoo! Sports. "I really can't stand it."
Bryant wasn't talking about trying to cleanly shoot a basketball with a broken finger, but the incessant questions about how he's going to do it now. What does he do? Say it's nothing and ignore the obvious? Or tell the truth and make it sound like an excuse? For everyone else, that taped finger would be an easy out, but Bryant is too ferociously proud to ever make excuses. Every time the questions about that finger come, you can see him stiffen.
"I never [bleeping] do it," Bryant said inside the Lakers' practice facility. "That's why I don't like talking about it."
The hardest part for Bryant is that he's never had to listen to questions about what's wrong with him, with his shooting. Across the past decade, Bryant's been basketball's best player. Whenever issues arose within his game, the solutions were simple: Get into the gym and work them out. Beyond the gimpy knee and tender ankle, there's just this one problem that the hours and hours of shots don't make go away.
Bryant's trying to make shots with a broken right index finger, and that's the reason it's a month running since he's had a shooting performance to his standards. There's a swollen knee, a sore ankle tendon, but that finger is the problem that isn't going away until summer.
"It is what it is, but you have less margin for error with the fundamentals of the shot," Bryant told Yahoo! "A lot of shots rim, come out and all that [bleep] now. The touch, it's real finicky now. It's just real finicky."
Across Bryant's past four games, he's struggled to shoot over 30 percent. He missed 13 of 19 shots in Game 1. Worse, he missed five of 12 free throws. This isn't Kobe, but this is his reality. Funny, but across these consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, it was always about the fitness of his teammates to support him. Pau Gasol(notes). Lamar Odom(notes). Andrew Bynum(notes). Now, they're responsible for holding these Lakers together as Bryant keeps experimenting to elevate his efficiency.
Bryant's always found ways to beat teams, and it hasn't always been with the shot. He'll take his turn on Kevin Durant(notes) in this series. He understands the Lakers can probably push past the Thunder with the ball pounded into Gasol and Bynum, with Odom swooping down on the wing. For now, Bryant has frantically worked to retool his game. He needs to find his shots closer to the rim than the 3-point line. He needs to get the ball in different places, find the angles that work with a shot release that is forever betraying him with that bulky wrap.
"His shot selection, he's had to narrow that down a little bit because he can't just elevate and get over people," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.
Between Games 1 and 2, the Lakers arrived to practice in El Segundo to find Bryant in a familiar place: On the floor, shooting. His capacity to play with pain is unimpeachable, and he'll keep going in these playoffs with the knee, the ankle and, yes, the finger.
"I don't think he's going to offer any excuses," Jackson said. No, he's going to keep searching for that touch on his finger, keep searching for a feel that once was like a second skin. There are still so many big shots waiting in these playoffs, baskets that forever belong to Bryant this time of the year. He knows everyone wonders if he can still make them with that finger and knows they'll keep pushing him on his fitness to do it again. That's why he can seem so grim now, so glum. Anything he says sounds like an excuse, and it's just such a violation of his DNA to make them.
These playoffs are a cold, cutting business of makes and misses. No one cares what's wrapped, what hurts and what finicky touch comes and goes. That's the essence of Bryant, that's the genius. Yes, he hates talking about that finger. Just hates it. Only one way to make the questions stop, and that comes with the ball in his hands and a game, a season, a championship on the line. That's where Kobe Bryant has always lived, and that's where he's always answered those questions. However it ends this time, that's where he goes now.

Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a quiet afternoon walk at the Chinese Garden. Tucked away on two islands in the middle of Jurong Lake, this is a collaboration between nature and culture.
Designed by well-known Taiwanese architect Prof. Yuen-chen Yu, the Chinese Garden is based on the intricate Chinese art form of gardening and draws inspiration from northern Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping. The Chinese Garden is filled with motifs of twin pagodas, pavilions, rockeries, a tea gallery and arched bridges.
Some interesting features include the Chinese Pavilion, Plateau and Tower which represents the crux of Chinese gardening art. One of the main ethos in structural arrangements in Chinese tradition is to integrate grand architecture into the environment around it, which also incorporates elements such as plants, rocks, a winding stream and footpaths in order to construct a truly poetic scene.
Explore the Bonsai Garden, known as the largest Suzhou-style Bonsai garden of its kind outside of China. View the collection of a few hundred bonsais from various countries such as Malaysia, China, Taiwan and Indonesia, with a pair of Podocarpus bonsais from China shaped into lions standing guard over the entrance. Take in the intensely detailed Suzhou architecture and the equally meticulous details of the buildings' accents. The Bonsai Garden is opened daily from 9am to 6pm daily with an admission fee of S$2 per adult and S$1 for children below the age of 12 and senior citizens.
Check out unusual species of tortoises at The Live Turtle & Tortoise Museum, where the rare two-headed-and-six-legged tortoises can be found. This installation is open from 10am to 6pm daily with an admission charge of S$5 per adult, and S$3 for children below the age of 12 and senior citizens.
Visit the site of the finish line of the reality TV series The Amazing Race Asia 2 at the 13-arch 'Pai Hung Chiao' Bridge (white rainbow bridge), which mimics the 17-arch bridge of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China.
On the other side of the bridge, the Japanese Garden is far more simplistic but nevertheless paves the way for meditation or quiet contemplation. Filled with Zen rock gardens, traditional summer houses, stone lanterns, Koi-filled ponds and gilded arched bridges, be prepared to be transported to another country and be lost in time.

Golf: Stenson pumping iron in readiness for Olympic debut
By Martyn Herman
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Golfers and gymnasiums do not always mix, but British Open champion Henrik Stenson has been pumping iron in the Olympic village in preparation for his opening round on Thursday.
Swede Stenson will be one of the favorites for gold on golf's return to the Olympic Games after a 112-year absence and while other top names have shunned the event, he is taking it seriously, regarding it as just below a major in importance.
"I was in the gym on Sunday evening and if you want to get motivated that is definitely the place to be," Stenson said after his practice on a rain-hit Wednesday.
"I didn't try and go for some dead lifts on 80 or 90kg when there is some guy holding 180kg straight up on both arms.
"I was sticking to my routines and exercises that I know I can do and looks good!"
Apart from the bi-annual Ryder Cup between Europe and the U.S., golfers play for themselves.
This week's action on the newly-built course on the Marapendi Nature Reserve will see them playing for their country, with no prize money at stake, just medals.
"It has a slightly different feel and it should have, it is the Olympics," Stenson told reporters. Continued...

Enron set up NewPower and holds a 43% stake in the business, which supplies gas and electricity to homes in Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio and Texas.
Centrica bid £87m for NewPower last month as part of its planned expansion in North America. But it said it was only likely to proceed if it was protected from any potential tax and pension claims following Enron's collapse. A Centrica spokeswoman said: 'We are looking carefully at the judgment and considering our options.'
The Slough-based group wants to have 10m customers in North America by 2003 and the NewPower deal would have lifted it to 4.3m.
NewPower supplies gas and electricity to about 650,000 residential and small business customers. It had sales of $369.9m (£258.7m) but lost $212.8m.

AMMAN (AFP) – Thousands demonstrated in the Middle East Friday and clashes broke out in Pakistan as a new cartoon of Islam's Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) published by French magazine Charlie Hebdo angered Muslims.
In Zinder, Niger's second city, protesters smashed the entrance door to the French cultural centre and set fire to its cafeteria, library and offices, while three churches were also torched.
"We've never seen that in living memory in Zinder," an administration official said. "It's a black Friday."
In Karachi, Pakistan, at least three people were injured when protesters clashed with police outside the French consulate, officials said.
Among them was an AFP photographer, who was shot in the back.
As Muslims raged, with protesters in Dakar and Mauritania torching French flags, Qatar and Bahrain warned that the cartoon published Wednesday by the French satirical weekly could fuel hatred.
In Amman, around 2,500 protesters set off from Al-Husseini mosque under tight security, holding banners that read "insulting the prophet is global terrorism."
In Algiers, 2,000-3,000 marchers chanted "We are all Muhammad," though some shouted their support for the Kouachi brothers who carried out the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
Around 100 protesters rallied in Istanbul in response to a call by a group calling itself the Fraternal Platform of the Prophet's Companions, with some holding pictures of the Kouachis.
The image has angered many Muslims as depictions of Muhammad are widely considered forbidden in Islam.
Algerian protesters chanted: "Kouachi martyrs" or "I am Kouachi" as the demonstration wound its way to the National Assembly, and some clashed with riot police deployed around the building.
AFP photographer Asif Hassan, a policeman and a local TV cameraman were injured in Karachi when clashes also broke out between police and protesters.
A police official said the violence began when police prevented some 350 protesters from approaching the French consulate, in the sprawling metropolis.
Elsewhere in Pakistan, protesters in Peshawar and Multan burnt French flags on the streets, while rallies were held Islamabad and Lahore.
A French flag was also set on fire outside the embassy in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, where 1,000 protesters rallied, denouncing Charlie Hebdo and chanting slogans of praise to the prophet.
"To hell with you Charlie," said one message scrawled on a banner.
In Nouakchott, thousands marched chanting "I am Muslim" with some setting on fire a French flag after security forces prevented them from reaching the French embassy, witnesses said.
Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz addressed the marchers, condemning the controversial cartoon as "an attack on our religion and on all religions".
In Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound, hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated quietly, some with banners reading "Islam is a religion of peace!"
In Khartoum, hundreds poured out of the Grand Mosque and marched across the adjacent square, chanting "Expel the French ambassador. Victory to the Prophet of God!"
One banner said: "The French government should apologise and the French government must stop insults to religious figures."
In Lebanon's flashpoint city of Tripoli, 70 people marched with banners bearing the name of the prophet and chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest).
