For most of their adult lives, their father, Chris McNair, served as the family spokesman. But the longtime county commissioner, now 87, was convicted in 2006 for accepting bribes and then suffered a stroke. He was recently released after serving two years in a federal prison medical facility.
Along the way, Lisa and Kimberly learned to step up. What happened to their sister, to their family, is a piece of American history they must own.
Even though they never knew Denise, it is the sisters' story to tell.
'More of a diplomat than me'
She could have had her own room after their older brother went off to college, but Dianne Robertson chose to stay put in the bedroom she shared with her little sister, Carole. The two, five years apart, would listen to the radio at night. It was the late 1950s, and rock 'n' roll had taken hold.
"She knew all the songs," Dianne says. "'In the Still of the Night,' she really liked that one."
Outside, Carole often tagged along with Dianne and her friends. At the movie theater, the younger girl would look on in horror as Dianne and the others got into what she calls "all sorts of devilment" -- like tossing ice and popcorn from the upper balcony, where blacks were relegated, onto the white folks below. When their boyfriends would put their arms around the teenage girls, Carole would gasp and say, "I'm gonna tell Mama!"
"That's what we all remember. She was everyone's little sister," Dianne says. "We'd have to bribe her to not tell our parents."
The Robertsons, both educators, groomed their children to achieve. The family lived in a tight-knit community rich with black role models: business owners, lawyers, doctors, preachers and teachers. On Sundays, after dinner, the family would go on drives and admire the big, beautiful homes in white-only neighborhoods. Going to college and shooting for dreams was a given.
But where they came from was far from perfect. Their neighborhood in Birmingham was dubbed "Dynamite Hill" because there were so many explosions. Her parents shielded them from much of the ugliness. The kids were never allowed out at night alone. Rather than letting them take buses, where they'd feel the indignity of sitting in the back, their parents insisted on driving them.
No amount of sheltering, though, could keep them in the dark. Dianne remembers eavesdropping as her mom griped with friends. They resented spending their good money downtown and not being able to try on shoes or clothes at stores that reserved those conveniences for whites only. They knew the books their children got in their still-segregated schools paled in comparison to those given to white students.
By the summer of 1963, Dianne had two years of college in Atlanta behind her. She was pregnant with her first daughter when relatives up north helped secure her a job in a New York coat factory.
She moved in with an aunt and kept in touch with family back in Birmingham. The last letter Dianne got from her little sister came in June. Carole, who served on a church committee on racial problems, was excited because she had been chosen to represent the 16th Street Baptist Church at a youth conference. She never got to attend.
On September 15, Dianne was visiting with other family members when her aunt called.
"My aunt told me" about the bombing, "and I just kind of fainted." A bit later, she spoke to her mother. Her father, she says, was unable to talk. He'd identified Carole's body and split a door on the porch when he came home because he'd slammed it so hard. Ten years later, he would die of a massive heart attack. Dianne doesn't think he ever got over what happened to his baby girl. Her older brother remained angry and bitter until he died two years ago, she says.
"Their hearts were broken," she says. They thought they were "supposed to be the protectors, and there was nothing they could do about it."
Dianne flew to Birmingham the day after Carole died. Her parents were all business, planning the funeral for that Tuesday. Her mother picked out an outfit to match what Carole wore the day of the bombing -- a white dress and her first pair of little pump, specially selected for the youth service that was to follow Sunday school that tragic morning. By afternoon, civil rights leaders including King and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy came to the Robertsons and asked them to reconsider their plans. They wanted them to take part in a joint funeral for all four girls scheduled one day later. Her parents chose to pass on that idea; Dianne supported their decision.
"The world was upset and hurt, but it was our family's grief," Dianne says. "There was a privacy about it that I really appreciated."
Dianne returned to New York and married the father of her child. When their daughter was born, they named her Carole. The couple, who would later have a second daughter, always assumed they'd settle in Birmingham. But after the bombing, Dianne said she never could. She enrolled in Queens College.
"It helped me a lot not to be in Birmingham or the South," she says. "In New York, I got a whole new perspective on white America. We were working together. I saw the goodness and the kindness."
For many years she told only a few close friends what happened to her sister. It was too horrific to talk about, and she didn't want anyone to think she "wore it as a badge of honor." Nothing about losing Carole felt honorable.
Now 69 and divorced, Dianne Robertson Braddock has lived for 40 years in Laurel, Maryland, where she keeps tokens of the past. The portraits of Carole that her mother kept on the family mantle are now with her. Like most of the other victims' siblings, she also has artistic renderings of the four girls.
She describes a sister who leaned toward serious, was an avid reader and clarinet player, and a proud Girl Scout who liked to show off her sash and all its badges. Carole was thoughtful and an intent listener. Even as the baby of the family, she'd mediate arguments between her older siblings.
"She would have been more of a diplomat than me," says Dianne. "She might have been a diplomat, a politician, a historian."
Diane has spent her career in education, working to improve the lives of others -- much like the women who came before her and her late sister. Their maternal grandmother, a teacher, founded the first black PTA in Birmingham. Their mother immersed herself in the voter registration movement. Dianne remembers handing out fliers as a high school student. Last June's U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down part of the Voting Rights Act makes her shudder.

My look I have for you today is from a night out in town. While anything goes, remember, this is Mykonos- chic and simple with sandals is my uniform of choice. I learned this lesson the hard and embarrassing way my first year on the island. While wearing heels, I took a tumble and was complete road kill! All in front of at least 300 global citizens. I was quite popular for the rest of the trip. So now, it's flats and sandals only!
The weather of late has been quite warm and while these shorts are fantastic with soaring temps they were a bit hot and "clingy"…if you know what I mean! Leather and Summer…hmmm…
Still, I loved my look. I'll do anything for fashion!
I am wearing:
Topshop gold leather shorts
Helmut Lang black silk tank top
Steve Madden gladiator sandals

Panthers beat Harlan second straight year, tied for first; Mount Ayr leads district
The Creston/O-M Panthers jumped back into a first-place tie in Class 3A District 1 with an historic 34-14 homecoming victory over Harlan Friday night.
With ADM's 28-27 loss to Atlantic, the top of District 1 now has a four-team logjam at the top — Creston/O-M, Harlan, Lewis Central and ADM — all with one loss. ADM and Creston/O-M are each 3-1 in district play, while Harlan and LC are 2-1.
Creston/O-M, which took a 13-0 lead on two early Harlan turnovers, trailed 14-13 at halftime, but dominated play in the final two periods. Tailback Bryce McIlravy had 100 yards rushing in the second half as the Panther ground game chewed up first downs and the clock in a 14-0 fourth quarter.

The Culture of Success.
Much of American art in the 1980s was shaped by and responded to the consumerism and feel-good conservatism of the Reagan era. In a decade preoccupied with success and image, art got bigger: bigger in scope and ambition (elaborate sets, large casts, and complex narratives for commercial musicals), bigger in theme (epic visions in the works of Neo-Expressionist painters), bigger in budget (record advances for new novels), and bigger in promotion (hyping of pop albums and art auctions). Art also became far bigger as a cultural presence. From twenty-four-hour-a-day media coverage to in-your-face images of pop art, video, and graffiti, art was more immediate, available, and accessible than ever before. The new scale and influence of art suited Americans in the 1980s. With more disposable income than in the 1970s and weary of the pervasive pessimism of that decade, they wanted to enjoy themselves again. They began to spend more money on arts and entertainment, aided by the healthiest national economy since the 1960s. Prices in the art market reached new heights as the wealthy discovered that acquiring fine art was a way to parade their success. With increasing corporate, foreign, and private investment in Hollywood and the rapid growth of computer technology, American cinema became increasingly the province of big-budget adventure spectacles designed like thrill rides and...

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Christina Fulton is spotted leaving IDA, the International Dance Academy in Hollywood , with a quick stop at Frederick's Of Hollywood.
She's been rehearsing for her upcoming New Year's Eve 2012 Performance where she'll be rockin the stage with Lupe Fiasco, Cobra Starship, ROCKMAFIA and Mario Lopez at The Hollywood And Highland Complex.
Christina's been seeing some early success with her new single "Thank You" which was hand chosen to be aired on MTV's Hit Reality Show, "Jersey Shore".
Well, not only was that a good look… but as it turns out, virtually the same thing happened when Lupe Fiasco hand picked Christina to rock the stage with him to bring in the last year of the Mayan Calendar.
So it looks like 2011 will end, and 2012 will begin with Christina doing what she loves best, and that's sharing her voice with the World.
See you New Year's Eve

Can't believe it, I'm still in shock,
I got home from work about six pm (it was dark), came in and entertained my son for a bit before putting him to bed, then had dinner and watched some Halloween Simpsons, before playing on the x-box (to be fair I'd had a couple of Vodka & Cokes by that time) and went to bed about 11pm and realised I hadn't got into a fight, I was furious and also gutted.
I'm going to do the same tonight albeit with the added risk of Sparklers and a couple of Catherine Wheels (I think we all know how antogonistic they can be).
Keep your fingers crossed for me, I'll let you know how I get on.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
James Mallahan Cain, son of James William and Rose Mallahan Cain, was born in Annapolis, Maryland, on July 1, 1892. He was the eldest of five children, including his three sisters—Rosalie, Virginia, and Genevieve—and his brother, Edward. His youthful aspirations, neither of which he completely surrendered during his entire life, were music and playwriting. He abandoned his plans to sing professionally but retained a critical appreciation of music that is evident in works such as Serenade (1937), Career in C Major (originally "Two Can Sing," 1938), and Mildred Pierce (1941). His exceptionally good ear for dialogue failed to ensure his success as a playwright. Between 1926 and 1955, his five attempts to write for the stage all resulted in failure of one kind or another; yet the effective dialogue and swiftly paced plots that did not function for him in drama became the core of his best-selling and most critically praised fiction.
In 1910, Cain graduated from Washington College (in Chesterton, Maryland), of which his father was president and to which, after unsuccessful forays into the world of professional singing, he returned as a teacher of English and mathematics from 1914 through 1917.
During the following decade, Cain worked as a newspaperman for The Baltimore Sun. After military service in France, where he worked on the newspaper of his World War I infantry company, he returned to The...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Cain was an observer of the American character and a commentator on its dark vagaries. The height of his career coincided with the arrival of film noir, of which the film versions of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), Double Indemnity (1944), and Mildred Pierce (1945) are examples. What Ruth Prigozy, in her article on the film version of Double Indemnity, says about film noir is equally descriptive of the direction of Cain's fiction:The murder-detective story crime film was popular in the war years, for it enabled filmmakers to depict . . . the violent, nightmarish quality of the era, without explicitly criticizing America. In film noir, the optimism of the previous decade was rejected, perhaps unconsciously, in favor of an overtly skeptical view of human nature and society.
With his antiheroic characters and his theme of successfully but self-destructively pursuing the material side of personal gratification, Cain exposes the treacherous shoals of American aspirations.

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
James Mallahan Cain was the oldest of five children of Rose Mallahan, a singer, and James William Cain, a professor at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. His grandparents were Irish immigrants who settled in New Haven, Connecticut, where his father attended Yale University. Cain was eleven when his father became the president of Washington College. Cain enrolled there at the age of fifteen, was graduated in 1910, received a master's degree in 1917, and taught math and English for a year after giving up his ambition to become an opera singer. He was a reporter for several newspapers and taught journalism at St. John's; then for seventeen years he wrote scripts in Hollywood. His fourth marriage, to opera singer Florence Macbeth Whitwell in 1947, was a happy one, which encouraged him to write about music in four of his novels. The literary figure who exerted the single greatest influence on his career was H. L. Mencken, with whom he corresponded and who published his work in his periodical, the American Mercury.

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
James Mallahan Cain was the eldest of two sons and three daughters born to James William Cain and Rose Mallahan Cain. His father was a professor of English and a college administrator who became the president of Washington College. His mother was a trained opera coloratura who gave up her professional ambitions to raise a family. Later in life Cain repeatedly expressed a sense of resentment and rivalry regarding his handsome and accomplished father. He revered his mother and imbibed from her an abiding love of the opera. After graduating from Washington College in 1910, Cain attempted to realize his dreams of a career in the opera by studying to be a singer. Unfortunately his voice could not match his aspiration, and he quit after a year of frustration. Between 1910 and 1914, Cain worked at a succession of jobs as he searched for a direction in life. He decided to become a writer, though he always regarded writing as a second choice because of his failure to express himself in music. He moved home and began writing short stories and sketches, none of which he could sell. Cain supported himself by teaching mathematics and English at Washington College and earned a master's degree in drama.
Restless, Cain moved to Baltimore in 1917 and found work as a newspaper reporter. He volunteered for service in World War I and edited the Seventy-ninth Division newspaper. Upon demobilization, Cain returned to Baltimore and journalism. He embarked on a course that...

Biography (Critical Survey of Mystery & Detective Fiction, Revised Edition)
James Mallahan Cain, born in Annapolis, Maryland, on July 1, 1892, was the first of the five children of James William Cain and Rose Mallahan Cain. His father was an academician, a professor at St. John's College in Annapolis, and later, in Chesterton, Maryland, president of Washington College, from which James M. Cain was graduated in 1910 and where he later, from 1914 through 1917, taught English and mathematics and completed work on his master's degree in dramatic arts. His early ambition to become a professional singer had been abandoned before his graduate work and teaching at Washington College, but his love of music never diminished. Throughout his life, Cain retained his ambition to become a successful playwright despite his repeated failures in dramaturgy and his own ultimate realization of the misdirection of this ambition.
Cain's career in writing began with newspaper work, first with the Baltimore American in 1918 and then with the Baltimore Sun. He edited the Lorraine Cross, his infantry-company newspaper, during his service with the Seventy-ninth Infantry Division in France. He returned from World War I to resume work on the Baltimore Sun, and in 1920 he married Mary Rebecca Clough, the first of his four wives. Cain's articles on the William Blizzard treason trial in 1922 were published by The Atlantic Monthly and The Nation. He then became a feature writer and columnist for the...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
James Mallahan Cain is a master of the genre of hard-boiled or tough guy novels that flourished during the 1930's. The materials of his fiction are basic human drives: the pursuit of sex, money, and violence. Typical Cain characters are educated roughnecks and ruthless women. As lovers, they embark on high adventure and end up on what Cain calls "the love-rack." For them, the wish that comes true proves a terrifying thing; when they get away with murder—the victim being, usually, the woman's husband—and collect the insurance money, they turn on each other. The sex usually has a fake religious aura and often borders on the abnormal. Cain depicts the criminal behavior of men and women who are not all that remote from the average American. He is also deft at creating a sense of place, as in the novels he set in Glendale, California.
Critics have lauded Cain for his technique, which is most evident in his extraordinary sense of timing. His best novels are brief, and they are narrated by men who seem disinclined to embellish the telling. Showing interest not in past action but only in the immediacy of the present as it careens into the future, Cain lets a story, as he said, "secrete its own adrenalin" and "needles it at the least hint of a letdown." His best work approaches what has been called the pure novel—the novel that, like nonobjective painting, is its own subject.
Cain's parents, both Irish, were born in New Haven,...

Know your debts, know your due dates. Roughly two-thirds of your credit score is based on your ability to pay your bills on time as well as the total amount of your debt. Don't miss monthly payments and be aware of your total debt before taking on more than you can handle!
Don't be afraid to rate shop. A common myth: you can damage your score by getting rate quotes from multiple sources. Answer: not true. As long as you do your rate shopping in a focused amount of time for the same purpose (i.e. getting car loan quotes from several lenders in the same week), your credit score will not be damaged. It's OK to look for a good deal!
Get current, stay current. The longer you pay your bills on time, the better your credit score will be. Even if you've had trouble in the past, it is crucial to bring your accounts up to date. Ask your creditor for assistance before missing a payment. They might be able to help!
Respect all debt. Missing a monthly payment on a small debt is just as damaging as missing one for a large debt. Don't let a single monthly payment obligation slip. A delinquency is a delinquency, regardless of the amount owed.

Customizing SMF > Graphics and Templates
Remove space on top and rounded corners
Hey guys,
First off all, i like smf and the default theme, but i want to make a small change to it.
The default theme has some rounded corners, that i dont like so i want to remove them.
Please look to the screens
Here, you see what i mean
I want to remove this space on top so i get something like this,
As we see, here is no space.
How can i do this? So i dont have any space on top, and footer wthout rounded corners?
Excuse for my bad english. I am from NL :)
Is this possible?
Here is a theme that i like, and i want something like this http://www.lovelyanime.com/forum/
Bump :)
Would be a matter of editing the equivalent of this image on your site:
And editing the CSS for body (line 35) for "padding: 15px 0;" Make that "padding: 0 0 15px;"
Hey Mashbe,
Thanks for your reply. I will take a look.
I try to make this in photshop, but i failed.
Is there somebody who can make this for me?

The Kazakhstan native is charged with obstruction of justice. If found guilty, he could face up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
He is being represented by Arkady Bukh, an attorney based in New York.
Ismagulov said his son always admired and wanted to come to the United States. He was here to study engineering and work in the oil business, his father said.
Teenagers sometimes do stupid things, said Ismagulov, stressing that his son didn't know he was doing anything wrong.
Ismagulov said that he asked his son whether he had wanted to help Tsarnaev.
He apparently told his father no, saying that if they had wanted to help Tsarnaev, he and Kadyrbayev would have thrown out the bombing suspect's laptop and buried his backpack in the ground.
Investigators found the backpack, loaded with fireworks, in a landfill after a two-day search.
Tsarnaev's laptop was turned over by Kadyrbayev on April 19, the same day the FBI raided the apartment he shared with Tazhayakov, Kadyrbayev's attorney Robert Stahl said.
According to the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, Tazhayakov is enrolled but has been suspended pending the outcome of the case.
Dias Kadyrbayev
Kadyrbayev also remains in jail, awaiting a May 14 court date.
According to an FBI affidavit, Kadyrbayev had seen pictures of the suspects released by the FBI on April 18 and texted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to tell him "he looked like the suspect on television." Tsarnaev texted back "lol" and added, "come to my room and take whatever you want."'
Attorney Stahl also said his client "did not have anything to do" with the bombings and disputed that he tried to block the investigation.
Kadyrbayev, a Kazakh national, was taken into custody along with Tazhayakov on April 20 on suspicion that he had violated the terms of his student visa, Stahl said.
According to an interview his father gave in April, Kadyrbayev, 19, "missed a couple, or maybe several classes."
"I can say about my son that he finished school with excellent grades; he was good at math. He helped others. When he saw that help was needed, he always accommodated," Murat Kadyrbayev told Tengi News and STV channel in Kazakhstan.
Kadyrbayev is not currently enrolled at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.
He is charged with obstruction of justice and could face up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines if found guilty.
Kazakhstan's foreign ministry said it was offering consular services to both Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov. "We would like to emphasize that our citizens did not receive charges of involvement in the organization of the Boston Marathon bombings. They were charged with destroying evidence," the ministry said in a statement.

New aluminum unibody construction looks good, feels solid; giant trackpad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; new dual graphics provide more power or more battery life.
All-clicking trackpad is a bit awkward, at least initially; the extra-glossy screen won't appeal to everyone; switching GPUs not as seamless as it should be; similar performance to the cheaper 13-inch MacBook; still no media card slot.
Apple's redesigned 15-inch MacBook Pro boasts a redesigned aluminum body that's stunning, thin, and sturdy; a new trackpad with expanded functionality; and a dual graphics setup for either longer battery life or better performance, but there's now less incentive to spend extra for it because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.

This is probably my 6th computer, 5th laptop, and second Macbook.
I bought the MacBook Air in 2008 and it was brilliant. It served me well, but it was not potent enough for my needs.
Luckily, I've found this MBP and other than battery life, it is by far the best piece of machinery I've ever owned.
Once you go Apple, or lit keyboard rather, you never go back!
Battery life lasts for about two hours, which is pretty good for a three year old machine that runs so smoothly with the backup light, and keyboard light on. It's acceptable for something this powerful to suck up a lot of battery.
I am now able to get all the editing and work done I need. Psshh...no offense, but this Mac is also capable of running Windows 7, much better than any other Windows machine I've owned in the past.
It's size and weight are also perfect for me. Words can't describe how happy I am with my purchase!!!
This is my third MacBook Pro 15.4" This is my first uni-body MacBook Pro. I really liked the previous MacBook Pro's having an Express Card slot. This late 2008 MacBook Pro is the only 15.4" uni-body MacBook Pro that has an Express Card slot. Following this model, Apple replaced the Express Card slot with a SD card slot.
You can put an Express Card in that has a SD card slot, but if you only have a SD card slot, an SD card is the only thing you can put in it. I own 5 Express Cards, including one with a SD Card Slot. I have an Express Card that has an e-sata port, and 4 USB 2.0 ports, all of which I use most of the time.
I have maxed out all of the MacBook Pro's I have owned. This one allows me to upgrade to 8mb of memory and a 1 TB hard drive. For my use, I prefer this model over a brand new model 15.4" MacBook Pro. I also have Parallels installed with Windows XP. I do video processing on the mac. My 1 TB drive is getting a real workout.
I love this new computer. It's in mint condition and is a huge upgrade from my 13" macbook. The screen resolution is perfect and the new mouse technology is amazing.
I honestly don't know why I waited so long? This Mac Pro is simply the best computer I have ever owned.
I am a VoIP Engineer and Network Engineer and this machine works great for me! I would recommend this for any IT related person.
This product blows any PC out of the water with it's reliability, power, quality of product, and style. The biggest plus by far is the support you can get from Apple. Even if you do not have Apple iCare. Apple Tech's are the most helpful tech's I have ever seen, why Microsoft seems to run from their customers, Apple seems to front us right on!

VFW post a casualty of membership drop
Posted at: 01/10/2013 9:24 AM
| Updated at: 01/10/2013 9:29 AM
By: Associated Press
COBLESKILL, N.Y. (AP) - A Veterans of Foreign Wars post is the latest veterans club to close because of a decline in membership.
The Daily Star of Oneonta reports that VFW Post 5088 in Cobleskill will auction off the contents of its building this Saturday.
Post Commander Brian Goodrich says membership has fallen from around 30 seven years ago to about a dozen. He says keeping up the post had become a major expense for the remaining members.
The closing will leave rural Schoharie County with just one veterans' hall, in neighboring Middleburgh.
Veterans' organizations nationwide have seen their memberships decline as World War II and Korean War vets die off and veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan focus on family and careers.

Where on the body do actinic keratoses typically occur?
Comment on this
Read 1 Comment
Common locations for actinic keratoses are the face, especially the cheeks and bridge of the nose, scalp, back of the neck, upper chest, as well as the tops of the hands and forearms. Men are more likely to develop AKs on top of the ears, whereas women's hairstyles often protect this area. AKs, especially on the scalp and the backs of the hands, may be hypertrophic (thickened skin). What is the significance of an actinic keratosis?Actinic keratoses are precancerous (premalignant), which means they can develop into skin cancer. However, relatively few of them actually become cancers, a process that typically takes years. When a malignant change does occur, the cancer is called a squamous cell carcinoma. Although squamous cell skin cancers have the potential for metastasis (spreading to other areas), such cancers that arise in preexisting actinic keratoses have a low potential for such spread, and only do so once they have gone deeper and the skin and become invasive. Treating actinic keratoses at an early stage helps prevent this possibility. When patients are diagnosed with this condition, they often say, "But I never go out in the sun!" The explanation is that it takes many years or even decades for these keratoses to develop. Typically, the predisposing sun exposure may have occurred many years ago. Short periods of sun exposure do not generally either produce AKs or transform them into skin cancers. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

It is important to never drastically change a player's grade based on how he works out in shorts and a T-shirt, but the player workouts can help break some ties and help figure out which system a player may be best suited for. An excellent example is Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe, who was viewed as only a nose tackle before working out at the Combine. But after he showed shocking initial quickness and all-around athleticism for a huge man (6-3½, 346 pounds), were confident he can also play defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme. As a result, we moved him into the top 10 for the first time (Carolina at No. 9). On the other hand, LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers did not show the explosiveness and smooth athleticism throughout his workout, which raises concerns about his ability to be an effective gap-shooting defensive tackle. We feel Brockers (6-5, 322) is better suited to a role as a two-gap defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme or a nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme. Based on his Combine performance, Brockers dropped a couple of spots in the mock (to Kansas City at No. 11). For now, Sporting News' first-round pick projections, barring expected trades (*underclassman): 1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck*, QB, Stanford. With the new regime in place, it is clear they want to get their quarterback of the future, and we are very confident Andrew Luck will be the guy. 2. St. Louis Rams: Matt Kalil*, OT, USC. The Rams mostly likely will trade this pick to the highest bidder for Robert Griffin III. But if something happens that causes the Rams to stay put, they will take Kalil to shore up their offensive line and protect Sam Bradford's blind side. 3. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Blackmon*, WR, Oklahoma State. The Vikings would prefer to take Kalil because they badly need an upgrade at offensive tackle. But with Kalil gone, they grab Blackmonwho can be Christian Ponders go-to receiverrather than reach for an offensive tackle. 4. Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin III*, QB, Baylor. If no one can work out a trade to go up and get Griffinan unlikely scenariothe Browns would jump all over him with the No. 4 pick. 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne*, CB, LSU. New coach Greg Schiano believes in a physical, playmaking scheme, so the Bucs jump at chance to grab the best cornerback in the draft and upgrade a defense that allowed the most points in the league. 6. Washington Redskins: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M. Coach Mike Shanahan has always built his team around big, athletic quarterbacks with strong arms, and Tannehill fits that mold perfectly. 7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame. If young quarterback Blaine Gabbert is going to develop, he needs weapons and Floyd has what it takes to be an impact receiver early in his career. 8. Miami Dolphins: David DeCastro*, G, Stanford. The Dolphins offensive line has struggled with consistency in recent seasons, and DeCastro could start at guard immediately. He showed at the Combine that he also might be able to handle playing right tackle, which would shore up a big problem for Miami. 9. Carolina Panthers: Dontari Poe*, DT, Memphis. Poe has been talked about primarily as a nose tackle, but after displaying elite athleticism at the Combine, the Panthers grab him to play tackle in their 4-3 scheme. 10. Buffalo Bills: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina. With the Bills switching back to a 4-3 defense, they need to find players who can play end and Ingram has the pass-rush skills to be a good one. 11. Kansas City Chiefs: Michael Brockers*, NT, LSU. Brockers is an extremely strong, powerful tackle who can dominate with his strength at the point of attack. He has what it takes to be a good starting nose tackle. 12. Seattle Seahawks: Devon Still, DT, Penn State. With defensive linemen Raheem Brock and Red Bryant scheduled to be free agents, the Seahawks grab Still, who has the talent to start as a rookie and could fill Bryant's role if they lose him. 13. Arizona Cardinals: Jonathan Martin*, OT, Stanford. Arizona's offensive line has not protected the quarterback well in recent seasons, and Martin has the feet and elite athleticism to protect the blind side. 14. Dallas Cowboys: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama. Jerry Jones has long shown a willingness to gamble on players with character concerns. With their dire need for a cornerback, the Cowboys take a shot with Jenkins, who was dismissed by Florida after three arrests in two years. 15. Philadelphia Eagles: Cordy Glenn, G/OT, Georgia. The Eagles offensive line was not dominant in 2011, and Glenn has the physical talent to start at guard or right tackle as a rookie. 16. New York Jets: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina. The Jets edge pass rush needs to improve, and Coples could help them because he is an explosive pass rusher with the versatility to be productive from a down end spot or as an outside linebacker in the teams 3-4 scheme. 17. Cincinnati Bengals (From Oakland): Trent Richardson*, RB, Alabama. The Bengals, who arent expected to re-sign Cedric Benson, get lucky when the top back in the draft slides to them. 18. San Diego Chargers: Peter Konz*, C, Wisconsin. Nick Hardwick could leave as a free agent and four-time Pro Bowl guard Kris Dielman is expected to retire, so the Chargers grab Konz to play one of those spots. 19. Chicago Bears: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor. Despite his poor 40 time (4.61) at the Scouting Combine, Wright is considered the most explosive receiver in the draft and would stretch the field for the Bears' offense. 20. Tennessee Titans: Dre Kirkpatrick*, CB, Alabama. Cortland Finnegan is a free agent, and the Titans have shown a willingness to gamble on players like Kirkpatrick who have immense talent but off-field concerns. 21. Cincinnati Bengals: Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia. Nate Clements will be in his 13th season in 2012, and Leon Hall is coming off a season-ending Achilles tendon injury. The Bengals grab Boykin, whose explosive athleticism, ball skills and return ability give him the tools to make an immediate impact as a nickel cornerback and kickoff returner. 22. Cleveland Browns (from Atlanta): Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford. A young quarterback's best friend is a tight end who can be his short area safety valve. Fleener can provide that as well as big plays down the field for the Browns quarterbackwhoever it is. 23. Detroit Lions: Nick Perry*, DE, USC. Kyle Vanden Bosch is 33 and Cliff Avril is a free agentthough the Lions likely will re-sign him or give him the franchise tagso they grab Perry, a solid pass rusher. 24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama. Upshaw is not a premier, explosive athlete, but he is an outstanding power rusher and run defender who reminds us a lot of LaMarr Woodley. He would give the Steelers a good young outside linebacker to eventually replace James Harrison, who turns 34 in May. 25. Denver Broncos: Luke Kuechly*, MLB, Boston College. Current Broncos middle linebacker Joe Mays is not an elite player, and Kuechly would bring strength, athleticism and rare playmaking ability to the middle of the Broncos defense. 26. Houston Texans: Rueben Randle*, WR, LSU. Every year we say the Texans need to find a receiver to play opposite Andre Johnson, but usually there is not an elite one available when they draft. Randle is a strong, well-built receiver with the excellent acceleration to make big plays after the catch. 27. New England Patriots (from New Orleans): Whitney Mercilus*, OLB, Illinois. Mercilus' combination of outstanding strength, long arms, toughness against the run and great intangibles make him a perfect fit to play outside linebacker in the Patriots scheme. 28. Green Bay Packers: Brandon Thompson, DT, Clemson. The Packers' offense is amazing, but their defense struggled in 2011 and Thompson is a strong, powerful defensive lineman who would fit as an end in the Packers' 3-4 scheme. 29. Baltimore Ravens: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State. Bryant McKinnie is not the long-term answer at left tackle and Michael Oher struggled when he played on the left side in 2010. So the Ravens choose Adams, who is not an elite prospect but a good one with excellent height (6-7), long arms and competitiveness. 30. San Francisco 49ers: DeVier Posey, WR, Ohio State. The 49ers need a receiver to open up their offense, and Posey has good height (6-1 5/8) and the ability to run sharp routes and make tough catches. He would upgrade the 49ers offense immediately. 31. New England Patriots: Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia. The Patriots continue to upgrade their defense by grabbing Minnifield, whose athleticism, long arms and ball skills give him the tools to be successful in their system. 32. New York Giants: Dwayne Allen*, TE, Clemson. After losing Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum to ACL injuries in the Super Bowl, the Giants currently have no depth at tight end. Allen is the type of receiving tight end the Giants have lacked since they traded Jeremy Shockey. http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/stor...ii-dontari-poe |

Re: Sporting News Russ Lande 3/01 Mock
Poe will fall by draft day. Just not sure how many spots. I can't see Washington using #6 on Tannehill; a trade down would be to their advantage or drafting another spot then going after QB in a trade up late first or earlier second.

In regards to Ruben Randall, the more I see the more I like. But just like many have stated, when it comes to who the Texans select and where it more than likely be no one that's been touted here. JMO.

Re: Sporting News Russ Lande 3/01 Mock
That's a pretty bad mock draft. Poe to the Panthers would be laughable, but I would be happy with it as it pushes good players to my favorite teams.
I don't see the Browns going with at TE at 22. They got some young guys in Evan Moore, who looked like a capable starter last year, and Jordan Cameron who was a 4th round pick last year. Both of those guys are capable and should develop into at least decent TEs. TE just isn't a position of need right now for the team, WR, RB, DE, LT, #2 CB and OLB are needs. Any one of those could be addressed instead. Boykin at 21 seems insanely high. Did I miss something, or when did he get upgraded from a 3rd round pick?

Top 100 NFL draft prospects: Robert Griffin III moves to No. 1
Russ Lande/Sporting News Pro days offer players who struggled at the recent Scouting Combine a chance to improve their draft stock in front of NFL evaluators. It's also an opportunity for those who choose to not work out in Indianapolis to show their skills. In addition, players who were not invited to the Combine get a chance to make a case for next month's draft as Miami (Ohio) guard Brandon Brooks did last week. Coming out of Indianapolis, two elite quarterback prospects stand outRobert Griffin III and Andrew Luckfor their remarkable overall skills, intelligence and intangibles. After seeing Griffin measure over 6-2 at the Combine to ease any concerns about his size, the former Baylor quarterback moves up to No. 1 in our latest player rankings.

Yuck. I'd go Vinny Curry as an OLB convert versus a WR project any day. If you're going BPA, take Randle.

Re: Sporting News Russ Lande 3/01 Mock
I like randle alright but I think there are several players that will be available @ 26 that I would take over him.
Reasons I just can't see taking a player that wasn't a productive college player whether it was his fault or not. The WR talent after the top 3 is to close IMO. There should be other WR's available in the third and fourth round with similar abilities. This draft class is deep with athletic defensive linemen. I would seriously consider stockpiling our front seven with our first three picks. Make it the strength of the team. It's worked well for the NY Giants. |

Re: Sporting News Russ Lande 3/01 Mock
3/12 Update 1. Indianapolis Colts. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford The Colts made it clear they are in a complete rebuilding mode by releasing so many veterans. Luck can lead them like Peyton Manning did when he came to Indy. 2. Washington Redskins (from St. Louis). Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor Washington pays a huge price to move up, but if Griffin becomes the premier quarterback we believe he will become, then this will be the move that turns around the Redskins. 3. Minnesota Vikings. Matt Kalil, OT, Southern Cal With the top two picks settled, the Vikings know they can get Kalil to protect Christian Ponder's blindside for the next decade. 4. Cleveland Browns. Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M By making a strong attempt to trade up, the Browns made it clear they don't believe in Colt McCoy, so they reach a little bit and grab Tannehill to build around him. 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU Ronde Barber is debating whether to play another season and Aqib Talib has had numerous off-field incidents, so the Bucs grab Claiborne to be their shutdown cornerback. 6. St. Louis Rams (from Washington). Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State The Rams knew they would get one of the top four players on their board. Blackmon gives Bradford an elite target to upgrade their passing attack. 7. Jacksonville Jaguars. Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina Sources have told us that Jacksonville is determined to upgrade its pass rush. Ingram is the most polished outside pass rusher in the draft. 8. Miami Dolphins. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford The Dolphins' offensive line needs an infusion of young talent. Martin is an elite athlete who can be a good right tackle if he can play with more intensity on every snap. 9. Carolina Panthers. Michael Brockers, DT, LSU Carolina's run defense was terrible in 2011. While Brockers is not going to be a gap-shooting playmaker, he will be an excellent two-gap run defender. 10. Buffalo Bills. Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina With the Bills switching back to a 4-3 scheme they must get defensive ends who can pressure the quarterback. Coples is a powerful athlete with great upside as an edge rusher. 11. Kansas City Chiefs. Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa The Chiefs aren't happy with their offensive line. While Reiff has issues, GM Scott Pioli trusts Kirk Ferentz, who coached Reiff at Iowa and believes he can be a good right tackle from Day 1. 12. Seattle Seahawks. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame The Seahawks wants to upgrade at quarterback, but with no prospects worth taking this high, they grab Floyd to be their No. 1 receiver with big-play potential. 13. Arizona Cardinals. Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State The Cardinals must better protect their quarterback and reportedly leaning toward releasing offensive tackle Levi Brown because of salary cap constraints. Adams has great size at 6-7 with long arms and good athleticism. 14. Dallas Cowboys. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama The Cowboys' secondary struggled in recent seasons. Kirkpatrick is 6-2, 186 pounds and has elite talent, but is he raw. He could develop into the high-end cornerback they desperately need. 15. Philadelphia Eagles. Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College The Eagles haven't selected a linebacker in the first round since Andy Reid became coach, but Kuechly is a special talent who has excellent coverage skills to go with natural football instincts. 16. New York Jets. Devon Still, DT, Penn State The Jets must add young talent to their defensive line. Still has the strength, long arms and quick-twitch athleticism to be a defensive end in their 3-4 scheme. 17. Cincinnati Bengals (from Oakland). Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama It's unlikely the Bengals will come up with the money to pay free agent Cedric Benson, so they jump at the chance to draft the best running back to come into the NFL in recent years. 18. San Diego Chargers. Nick Perry, OLB, Southern Cal The Chargers struggled to pressure the quarterback in recent years. After an excellent junior season, Perry could be the man to change that playing opposite Shaun Phillips. 19. Chicago Bears. David Decastro, G, Stanford Jay Cutler took a ton of punishment in 2011. Decastro will start as a rookie at guard and could eventually make the move to right tackle because of his athleticism. 20. Tennessee Titans. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis The Titans' interior run defense hasn't been the same since losing Albert Haynesworth. At 346 pounds, Poe is huge defensive tackle with rare initial quickness and athleticism to perfectly fill that role. 21. Cincinnati Bengals. Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia Nate Clements has been in the NFL more than a decade. Leon Hall is coming off season-ending Achilles' tendon surgery. The Bengals grab Boykin, whose explosive playmaking ability and return skills will enable him to make an impact as a rookie. 22. Cleveland Browns (from Atlanta). David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech We don't expect the Browns to re-sign Peyton Hillis. Wilson is an elusive back with the explosive burst through holes. He also has speed to take plays the distance. 23. Detroit Lions. Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois Kyle Vanden Bosch is 33 and the Lions struggled to consistently pressure the quarterback in 2011. Mercilus would back up Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril in 2012 and then take over in 2013. 24. Pittsburgh Steelers. Alameda Ta'Amu, NT, Washington Casey Hampton is near the end of his career and is coming of an injured ACL. Ta'Amu's performance at the Senior Bowl showed he can be an anchor nose tackle in a 3-4 defense. 25. Denver Broncos. Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State The Broncos' defense made big strides in 2011, but the interior line could use a playmaker like Cox. 26. Houston Texans. Rueben Randle, WR, LSU The search for a big-play receiver opposite Andre Johnson seems to be an unending journey. The Texans finally solve that problem by drafting Randle. 27. New England Patriots (from New Orleans). Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama The Patriots' defense struggled in 2011 and a big reason was its inability to pressure the quarterback. Upshaw would be the physical run defender and pass rusher who fits the scheme. 28. Green Bay Packers. Andre Branch, OLB, Clemson Clay Matthews needs help rushing the passer and Branch is the dynamic athlete who would fit in perfectly on the opposite side. 29. Baltimore Ravens. Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State Baltimore could use an injection of young talent on the defensive line. The Ravens have had success with gifted players with consistency issues similar to Worthy. 30. San Francisco 49ers. Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor For the 49ers' offense to become a well-rounded unit, it must add speed and playmaking ability at the receiver position. Wright has both. 31. New England Patriots. Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama In an effort to continue to upgrade their defense, the Patriots grab Jenkins. He has the special physical skills to be a shutdown cornerback. 32. New York Giants. Doug Martin, RB, Boise State After releasing Brandon Jacobs and with Ahmad Bradshaw coming off surgery, the Giants are thin at running back. Martin is a strong inside runner with good receiving skills and is solid in pass protection. |

I like Wright because he can return kicks and makes J.J. expendable.

A handsome actor with leading-man looks and charisma to spare, one only wonders why it took actor Matthew Fox's career over a decade to finally set sail with his starring role as natural-born leader Jack on the hit ABC series Lost. Commanding the screen as the brave but conflicted organizer of a group of airplane-crash survivors stranded on a mysterious island, Fox played no small part in bringing compelling drama back to the small screen in a time when reality television seemed to dominate the dial. Of course, Lost wasn't Fox's first foray into television drama, having previously established himself as one of five siblings prematurely thrust into adulthood when their parents are killed by a drunk driver in the Golden Globe-winning Party of Five, but it did find him excelling in a manner that could point to a long and fruitful career. Unlike many actors who realize their calling early in life, in the Wyoming native's early years, it seemed as if an acting career was the absolute farthest thing imaginable in terms of future job prospects. Fox was raised on a ranch that raised horses and barley, and when it came time to choose a college, he opted to study economics at Columbia University -- where he also made quite a name for himself on the gridiron.
All arrows pointed to a prosperous future career on Wall Street, but when Fox was convinced to try his hand at modeling, the chips seemed to fall into place, and he was soon appearing on television commercials and essaying guest appearances on such popular sitcoms as Wings. In 1992, Fox went back to college for a role in the short-lived TV comedy Freshman Dorm, and though that show itself was decidedly short-lived, it helped his career by leading to roles in the film My Boyfriend's Back, the made-for-television feature If I Die Before I Wake, and, eventually, Party of Five. After his wining performance in Party of Five making Fox a familiar face to television viewers, it seemed only a matter of time before he stuck out on his own. Following a touching turn opposite Donald Sutherland in the made-for-television drama Behind the Mask, Fox took the role of an ex-policeman-turned-private investigator whose near-death experience bridges a gap to the spirit world in the supernaturally charged series Haunted, which was quickly canceled despite the fact that it was beginning to see a dedicated fan base. If Fox's career seemed to be floundering somewhat in the wake of Party of Five, that would certainly change when Lost debuted on ABC to impressive ratings in late 2004. With his role as the reluctant leader proving once and for all that Fox had what it took to be a leading man, long-time fans could rest assured that they would likely be seeing much more of him in the future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
