THIS MONTH, PICADORis re-issuing Graham Swift's Waterlandto mark the novel's twenty-fifth birthday. It seems reductive of this wonderful and complex book to summarise its plot, but its main storyline is that Tom Crick, fifty-three, head of history at a south-east London comprehensive, is cracking up as his unhappily childless wife's behaviour grows ever stranger; she eventually steals a baby. In class 'Cricky' is supposed to be covering the French Revolution, but increasingly he is diverting his pupils into the history of the Fens and tales from his own childhood and adolescence spent there – featuring a murder, an unwanted pregnancy, and a suicide. These cranky digressions are providing the headmaster with the ammunition he needs to force early retirement upon Crick, and to slash the school's history teaching to a bare minimum. History, the headmaster tells Crick, is 'a rag-bag of pointless information'. Upon its publication in 1983, Waterlandwas celebrated as a brilliant evocation of place (though Swift had never lived in the Fens). But it is also a thorough, subtle reflection on the nature of history (though Swift had never been a historian). It took a non-practitioner to delineate the crises of faith that postmodernism had forced upon historians from the 1970s onwards. Threats to funding in the early 1980s and the proposed creation of a National Curriculum made such introspection even more urgent. In universities and schools throughout the country, historians had to ask themselves: what are we doing, and why are we doing it? Is history a guide to the future? Does it, in fact, have any useful application at all? Do we re-tell old stories to comfort ourselves? To understand the present? What distinguishes a fact from a myth? Can any documentary evidence ever be bias-free, objective? Cricky's most stimulating pupil, the disruptive, restlessly curious lad Price, jeers at him that history 'is a fairy-tale'. As the nuclear powers square up to each other over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Price tell his teacher, 'What matters is the here and now. The only important thing about history, I think, sir, is that it's got to the point where it's probably going to end.' Perhaps there was something in the air in 1983. It is the year in which Alan Bennett's History Boys, and their teachers, are beset with similar doubts about the purpose of history and its role in public life; and 1983 was the year of the publication in English of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, like Waterlanda novel featuring long, nonfiction digressions (this time, on thirteenth- and fourteenthcentury church history) and conveying an unsettling sense of the slipperiness of documents and the question of who is in control of textual meaning. Eco's novel gives voice to the fear of pointlessness that strikes any good historian from time to time. In the final paragraph of his huge
The Case for Cricky
chronicle, the narrator and now aged monk, Adso of Melk, writes: 'It is cold in the scriptorium, my thumb aches. I leave this manuscript, I do not know for whom. I no longer know what it is about.' Like Waterland, The Name of the Rose supplies, among many other wonders, a vivid way of comprehending the doubts afflicting historians. Novelists
are better able to deal with historical crisis because the novel, and its characters, are allowed plenty of scope for doubt – the novel is perhaps the greatest arena for the examination of uncertainty. Waterlandwas the chronicle of a death foretold. The Gradgrinding of education under the Thatcher government saw the marginalisation of history in schools. The National Curriculum, introduced in 1988, imposed a non-narrative, fact-based approach that developed in children an in-depth knowledge of, say, the Tudors or the Nazis, but no understanding of the bigger picture – of Britain, its place in the world and how all the disjointed little micro-histories that pupils were being crammed with, in order to pass exams, might join up into something like a coherent chronology. Four years after the National Curriculum was introduced, the four periods of history per week that had been prescribed for eleven- to fourteen-year-olds were halved as part of a bid to find more school hours for numeracy and literacy. But the real death of history took place in the Blair years. Sounding very like Tom Crick's sceptical headmaster, Tony Blair declared in 2003, shortly before the Iraq invasion, that 'a study of history provides so little instruction for our present day'. Blair's citizenship lessons have also encroached on history, and today many schools dedicate just a single hour a week to history for this age group. What's more, Britain is now one of only three European countries that allow the subject to be dropped entirely at age fourteen. It's OK for the adults, because the boom in narrative history publishing that began in the 1990s has provided accessible, readable books so good that much literary fiction lingers in their shadow. But how do we help schoolchildren? We should re-engage with the mavericks, like Tom Crick, who can suggest the grand sweep of history or, paradoxically, the type of local studies that could perhaps be used to enthral a pupil. Encourage teachers to use the emotional pull of narrative and to weave a magical tale from local, national and global elements. Stop hoping to cover anything worthwhile in one hour a week. 'Forget your revolutions, your turning points, your grand metamorphoses of history', Cricky tells his pupils. 'Consider, instead, the slow and arduous process, the interminable and ambiguous process.'

The wind storm of 08 pushed lake ice into the Niagara river and choked it compleatly full. The Niagara Power authority sent out both the ice breakers to open a channel in the upper part by the power intake gates to alow ice to break up and flow down river. This is done to protect the upper river from over flowing it's banks due to ice jams and stop the power intakes from clogging due to the ice flows.

Depends if you are a ´Real´ Catholic or one like Biden, Pelosi, or Kerry ~ they are already fooled and fools to believe they are not useful idiots that will be thrown under the bus before Obama is through with us.
Is anyone stupid enough to believe that this is anything other than an unconstitutional threat to religious freedom? This administration is an embarrassment to everyone with a brain!
Everything Obama has ever done as "president" was meant to fool people. Everything Obama will ever do as "president" will be meant to fool people. Given that the Left is based upon a complete lie, there is no other way it can be.
The Obama crew must have feared losing in court to move the goalposts like they did by suddenly revising that administration policy?
Call me a conspiracist but given the history of this odious President and his evil cabal, this latest "contraception rule" looks more like another backdoor attempt to squash Christianity in America.This isn´t about getting the money from religious organizations, nor is it about making them pay for contraception. It is about chipping away more mortar from the foundation stone of Christianity, and for that matter, all religion in America except Islam, who seem to have free rein in changing our culture and our laws.
When we are in negotiations for what part of our rights we will be allowed to keep/observe, we have lost the argument. Vote these bums out or better yet impeach ´em.
so how does this situation compare to the religious conscientious objectors during the Vietnam draft? seems to me like if you´re going to treat Catholics this way, any kind of "religious" objection to any government policy goes out the door. can´t have it both ways. or maybe Obama can, unfortunately.
I went to a " meet and greet" with Ken Cuccinelli last night. He is the Virginia AG who filed the first ( I believe ) lawsuit against 0bamacare within minutes of it being signed into law. He is now running for governor against Terry McAuliffe - the renter of the Lincoln Bedroom for the Clinton´s and man behind the Global Crossing disaster.If I understood him correctly, Cuccinelli says that the solution to this attack on religions is for states to NOT set up healthcare exchanges. No exchange means that businesses, schools, churches, etc can not be fined. I hope he´s right on that. Virginia is not setting up an exchange.
I have an "accomodation" for Obama: Since we are talking abortifacents and how Catholics have to make sure they are offered, let´s do a retroactive abortive action and apply it to Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, etc. Let´s go ahead and declare the democrat party an endangered species and work in that direction.In regards to the Supremes, after the revolution and the vile leaders are put to sleep, the Patriot Council will review the recent decisions of the Supreme Court: any judge who has been shown to judge with a tack towards/for liberal agenda time and time again will be judged/declared biased, incapable of impartiality, summarily pushed out the window of their Supreme Court office. Hello Kagin and Sotomayor? Buh bye! Yes the traitor on healthcare gets the same treatment.
No doubt most Catholics who voted for Obama are cool with abortion, etc., or else are completely oblivious. This last group is too involved with watching Obama Network News, Honey Boo Boo, Girls, or Monday Night Football for this to register with them. And if you tried to warn them, they would insist you are dead wrong.
The Catholic church, the only large group now with its panties in a twist, actually hopped into bed with the left back in the 1960´s. Now they are complaining about the fleas and bed bugs that are biting them! It´s the Vatican that is now driving this boat and a few (very few) older, conservative bishops. That´s it. The laity slowly turned left and are okay with it all. My local parish priest practically demanded that we voted for Obama --- or we must look at why we weren´t doing that and it might be because we are racists!
On being fooled; you can only be fooled if you want to or there millions of stupid people ,pick which you prefer.
Why is it so important to Obama that Catholics have to be made to kill the innocent? There are plenty of non Catholic hospitals who comply to this deed. Why the Catholics and then Christian community? Does he need this for a reason? Isn´t their enough blood shed in the United States America already?
The only people fooled are those who WANT to be fooled.They need to be lied to in order to justify their vote for this criminal in the oval office.
Dishonest and coniving in every thing he does...
This Catholic wasn´t fooled. I have known from the get go what that man is.
I think the dividing line among the laity is based upon regular Mass attendance. Those that are active in the Faith and receive the Sacraments regularly see through the Obama deception. Its the "cultural Catholics" who no longer practice their Faith, but still retain a romantic notion about identifying themselves as Catholic, that are the useful idiots that skew towards liberal shibboleths. (Caveat: Too many of the faithful laity are bound to that 1960´s union with the left that #11 described.)"Progressivism" requires that the great monotheistic religions, which built western civilization, be destroyed. They think they are using Islam for this purpose and once Christianity and Judaism are gone they will be able to dispatch the muzzies. Stupid suicidal liberals.I´ve been struggling since the election to find any reason to continue to believe in our political process. The GOP has made it abundantly clear that they consider their base to be an obstacle, and defending our constitutional rights too much to ask. There is nothing left to render under Caesar.I will render all unto God. He is my rock and my fortress. Let me know when the shooting starts. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. (If you stocked up back in "09.)
He and Sebelius and so many "practicing" or "devout" Catholics within and without the government will have hell to pay.
Our Lady of Fatima said(PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY EVERY DAY, FAST AND DO PENITENCE! Please Pray the Rosary for life, dignity and the Grace for what is to come. Life is the most precious gift from God the Father. He is calling back his sheep. Be still and listen and pray much. There is only ONE GOD, come back to Him. J.M.J
I do believe that like the Clintons, our POTUS is an exceptionally good and gifted liar.
#19, my daughter still writes JMJ on her homework. Our kids luckily go to a Catholic school.I don´t understand why more priests and highers up don´t call out piglosi, kerry (I was in Vietnman) and sicbilis. I can´t judge (errr, but it is hard not to) but surely our spiritual leaders can call them to account.The kenyan idiot is trying to stand out Christianity and Judism.There is NO reasonable basis to send fighter jets to the muslim brotherhood (fka Egypt) other than to arm them to attack Israel.These are scary times.
I starting to believe that Barry may indeed be the antichrist.

Crepe paper and crape myrtles have more in common than their pronunciations. Crape myrtle blooms not only resemble the delicate craft paper, but they come in almost as many colors, with flowers that can be shades of pink, red, white, or purple.
Crape myrtles are year-round beauties in the South, where they thrive in the warm climate and bloom from July to September.
But the show isn't over when summer ends. Fall brings a kaleidoscope of leaf colors, with reds, oranges and yellows mingling on the same tree. In winter, the smooth peeling bark adds a subtle charm to the landscape.
Dawn redwood is a fast-growing, deciduous conifer that even does well in waterlogged soils. The conical tree produces small, light brown cones and soft, needle-shaped green leaves that become orange-brown in fall.
Don't wait decades for the relaxing shade of a large flowering tree. Plant a fast-growing empress tree. Empress tree will shoot right up, soon dangling panicles of foxglove-like blooms even before foliating. You'll delight in the rich scent and marvel at its vigor. Just be sure to check if empress tree is invasive in your area.
Photo: www.maphistreefarm.com
For a natural privacy fence, plant these pretty trees all in a row. Each will grow very quickly (about 3 feet per year) to look very similar to the others thanks to its compact, symmetrical cone shape. Just be prepared to prune heavily, as this is an especially eager conifer.
Lombardy poplar grows fast, its parallel to its trunk as if reaching to the sky. And since all good things turn to gold, you can expect similarly brilliant foliage from this showpiece in fall. The only downside to this tree is its often short-lived nature.
Photo: RDA GID
Birches are appreciated for their papery, peeling layers of bark and river birch is no exception. Distinctive curling, blackish bark exfoliates to reveal varied shades of orange, gray, and lavender, depending on the cultivar.
Sweet gum is a fast-growing, conical shade tree with glossy green lobed foliage. Leaves turn in fall, producing spectacular fall color. Yellow-green flowers blooming in spring are inconspicuous, but watch for the abundance of spiky, spherical fruit clusters that follow.
Though hard to see from a distance, the tulip tree's unique early-summer flowers will definitely dress up your backyard. The wax-like cup-shaped blooms have six greenish-yellow petals with orange bases. But be patient - for most varieties, flowers won't appear until the tree is 10 to 12 years old. The name comes from the distinctive shape of the leaves.
The classic beauty of the weeping willow is well-established as is the popularity of the fuzzy catkins of the pussy willow. But don't stop there. With more than 300 species, this fast-growing tree could produce a forest of distinctive beauties - or at least, one spectacular specimen.
Although often confused with elms, Japanese zelkova are in a league of their own. These fast-growing, often vase-shaped tree produces elliptical dark green leaves in the spring which turn yellow, orange or red in fall.
Works well in many areas due to its tolerance for drought as well as a variety of soil conditions. Mature gray bark exfoliates to reveal vibrant orange.

Cleopatra (1999)
directed by
Franc Roddam
Leonor Varela, Timothy Dalton, Billy Zane, Rupert Graves, John Bowe
The epic saga of the Queen of Egypt gets yet another retelling in Cleopatra, a four-hour, two-part spectacular produced for television. Leonor Varela plays Cleopatra, the Egyptian monarch who uses her wisdom, charm, ruthlessness, and seductive powers to work her way into the heart (and bed) of Roman leader Julius Caesar (Timothy Dalton). But Cleopatra shifts her romantic alliances to Marc Anthony (Billy Zane) just in time for Caesar's death and Anthony's rise to the throne. When Rome goes to war, however, Cleopatra realizes that she can only remain in power for so long, eventually making a late date with an asp when things get especially grim. This is at least the 12th film based on Cleopatra's life (the best-known being the infamously expensive 1962 version starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton). Produced by Hallmark for NBC television, this version first aired as a two-part miniseries in May 1999. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Hide synopsis

When traveling to London, be sure to smile: the city is home to at least half of a million surveillance cameras—if you count video systems at banks, supermarkets and other commercial locations, according to The New York Times. And motorists with obnoxious vanity license plates, take heed: New York City has plans to install cameras that will snap a photo of every plate that enters the borough of Manhattan.
The range of human vocalization, from a full-throated bellow to a hushed whisper, typically lets you decide who will hear your voice. But what happens when that choice is taken away by technology that can pick up and transmit even the softest sounds? Add security cameras at gas stations, convenience marts, subway stops and street corners, and privacy appears to be little more than a quaint notion.
Some efforts to prevent the next terrorist attack have come at a cost to our privacy, whether through the government's expansion of its wiretapping and surveillance powers or an omnipresent network of cameras that scan our every move in the public square as we go about our daily lives.
Is this the cost of greater, and some would argue, necessary security? Or have governments and concerned parties crossed the line into prying and paranoia? Check out ScientificAmerican.com's in-depth report on privacy and security to learn more about these issues.
Here, see images of both conspicuous as well as not-so-noticeable surveillance devices, from the gas station closed-circuit camera to the telephone wiretapping equipment that has recently been the subject of political fights.

Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire) (Conservative): Will the Minister accept a simple truth—namely, that when offered the choice between building on a greenfield site or a brownfield site, a developer will always go for the former? Counties such as Wiltshire have no green belt as such, but they nevertheless have some of the finest rural countryside in England. That countryside has no official protection. Will my hon. Friend confirm to the House that this Government stand for protecting areas such as Wiltshire against unreasonable development?
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Nick Boles): This Government want to protect the most beautiful countryside in Wiltshire and across the country, but we also believe that it is for local people, through local authorities, to decide exactly which sites should be developed. I am absolutely sure that my hon. Friend, through his local authority, will be able to protect the green spaces that his constituents enjoy.

Multiplayer video game
This article should be divided into sections by topic, to make it more accessible. (December 2012) |
This article needs copy editing in order to create readable prose, proper spacing, and/or standard section length. (December 2012) |
A multiplayer video game is a video game in which more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time. Video games are often single-player activities that put the player against pre-programmed challenges and/or AI-controlled opponents, which often lack the flexibility and ingenuity of regular human thinking.
Multiplayers components allow players to enjoy interaction with other individuals, be it in the form of partnership, competition or rivalry. Furthermore, it provides them with a form of social communication that is almost always missing in single-player oriented games. In a variety of different multiplayer game types, players may individually compete against two or more human contestants, work cooperatively with a human partner(s) in order to achieve a common goal, supervise activities of other players, or engage in a game type that incorporates any possible combination of the above. Examples of better-known multiplayer game types include deathmatch and team death match, MMORPG-associated forms of PVP and Team PvE, capture the flag, domination (competition over control of resources), co-op, and various objective-based modes, often expressed in terms of "assault/defend a control point". Multiplayer games typically require the players to share resources of a single game system or use networking technologies that allow players to play together over greater distances.
Some of the earliest known video games were two-player games, including early sports games like Tennis For Two (1958) and Pong (1972), early shooter games like Spacewar! (1962), and early racing video games like Astro Race (1973).[1] First known examples of massively multi-player real time games based around real time networking were developed on the PLATO system starting around 1973. Important multi-user games developed on this system included Empire from 1973 and Spasim from 1974. The latter was a pioneering first-person shooter. Other early video games sometimes included turn-based multiplayer modes, popular in tabletop arcade machines. In such games play is alternated at convenient points, often after the loss of a life. Scores of all players are often retained onscreen in order that players can gauge their relative standing.
The first large scale serial sessions based around a single computer were STAR (based on the series Star Trek), OCEAN (a battle of ships, submarines and helicopters with multiple players divided up between the two combating cities) and CAVE (based on Dungeons and Dragons), created by Christopher Caldwell (with art work and suggestions by Roger Long and some assembly coding by Robert Kenney) in 1975 on the University of New Hampshire's DECsystem-1090. The University's computer system had hundreds of terminals connected via serial lines through cluster PDP-11s for student, teacher and staff access. The games worked by having one instance of the program running on each terminal (for each player), sharing a segment of shared memory (known as the "High segment" in the OS TOPS-10). Due to their popularity, the games were frequently banned by the University's Computer Services since they could easily take up all available RAM and cycles. STAR was based on the original single-user turn oriented BASIC program STAR written by Michael O'Shaughnessy at UNH in 1974.
Ken Wasserman and Tim Stryker described how to network two Commodore PET computers with a cable in a 1980 BYTE article. The article included a type-in two-player Hangman, and described the authors' more sophisticated game Flash Attack.[2]
Digital Equipment Corporation soon distributed another multi-user version of Star Trek called Decwars though not featuring real-time screen updating. Decwars was widely distributed to universities with DECsystem-10s. In 1981, Cliff Zimmerman wrote a more detailed homage to Star Trek in Macro-10 for DECsystem-10s and -20s using VT100 series graphics. "VTtrek" pitted 4 Federation players against 4 Klingons in a three dimensional universe.
MIDI Maze was an early first-person shooter released in 1987 for the Atari ST. It was unique in featuring network multiplayer through the MIDI interface long before mainstream Ethernet and Internet play became commonplace. It is considered the first multiplayer 3D shooter on a mainstream system and the first major network multiplayer action game, with support for as many as 16 players. It was followed up by ports to various platforms in 1991 under the title Faceball 2000, including the Game Boy and Super NES, making it possibly the first handheld and multiplatform first-person shooter and an early console example of the genre.[3]
Networked multiplayer gaming modes are colloquially called "netplay" to refine the meaning. The first popular video gaming title to release a LAN version was Spectre in 1991 for the Apple Macintosh, featuring AppleTalk support for up to eight game players. Spectre's multiplayer popularity was attributed in part by the display of a player's name above their cyber tank vehicle. This was followed by Doom in 1993, when the first network version of the game allowed a total of four simultaneous gamers.[4]
Playing networked multiplayer games via LAN often eliminates problems common in Internet play, such as lag and anonymity of players. As a result, multiplayer games usually are the focus of LAN parties. Play-by-email games are multiplayer games that use email as the method of communication between computers. Other turn-based variations which do not require players to be online at the same time are Play-by-post gaming and Play-by-Internet. Some online games are "massively multiplayer" games, which means that a large number of players participate simultaneously. The two major genres are MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) such as World of Warcraft or EverQuest and MMORTS (massively multiplayer online real-time strategy).
Some networked multiplayer games do not even feature a single-player mode. For example, MUDs and massively multiplayer online games, such as RuneScape are multiplayer games by definition. First-person shooters have become very popular multiplayer games and games like Battlefield 1942 and Counter-Strike gained their fame despite not featuring extensive (or any) single-player plot or gameplay. Casual gaming has also seen an emergence in networked multiplayer games as shown by developer and gaming site OMGPOP, whose library of offerings only include multiplayer flash games. The biggest MMOG in the world is Lineage out of South Korea with 19 million registered gamers which is played in several mostly Asian countries.[5] The biggest Western MMOG in 2008 is World of Warcraft with over 10 million registered gamers worldwide. This category of games currently requires multiple machines to connect to each other over the Internet, but before the Internet became popular, MUDs were played on time-sharing computer systems, and games such as Doom were played on a LAN.
Gamers often refer to latency by the term ping, which measures round-trip network communication delays (by the use of ICMP packets). For example, a player on a DSL connection with a 50 ms "ping" will be able to react faster to game events than a modem user with 350 ms average latency. Another popular complaint is packet loss and choke, which can render a player unable to "register" their actions with the server. In first-person shooters, this problem usually manifests itself in the problem of bullets appearing to hit the enemy, but the enemy taking no damage. Note that the player's connection is not the only factor; the entire network path to the server is relevant, and some servers are slower than others. While latency is frequently complained about, many players believe a lack of finesse and decent tactics is more damaging than a slow connection in most games. Major and frequent variations in latency, however, can be another story; these can make it very difficult to properly play the game. When a player experience network issues such as high latency its most often referred to as lag, e.g. the game is lagging. This issue has even been exploited in various cheats where the cheater uses this to his advantage.
Starting with the Sega NetLink in 1996, Game.com in 1997 and Dreamcast in 2000, game consoles have also begun to support network gaming, over both the internet and LANs. Many mobile phones and handheld consoles also offer wireless gaming through Bluetooth or similar technologies.
In modern console games, arcade games, and personal computer games, multiplayer less commonly implies that the players play together by using several controllers plugged into the same game system. Home console games often use split-screen so that each player has an individual view of the action (important for genres such as first person shooter and racing video games), although most arcade games and some console games (ranging from Pong) do not. Almost all multiplayer modes on Beat 'em up games (due to their nature) offer a single system option. Racing games are increasingly dropping the split-screen mode in favor of multiple system multiplayer.
Online cheating[edit]
Online cheating in games is an activity that modifies the game experience to give one player an advantage over others.[6][7]

Nameberry Week in Review: Debut issue
As promised, here is our first Week in Review by Abby Sandel–creator of the wonderful AppellationMountain blog– bringing you a roundup of the latest baby name news of the week every Monday from hereon in.
Early January brought round-ups of The Most Popular Names of 2010, at least according to a host of informal polls and results from individual hospitals. It makes for a quirky assortment of headlines. Lauren is still holding on in Caledonia, Minnesota, despite falling for decades elsewhere. The gems, of course, are the articles that mention the truly unusual choices, like Ged Spartacus and Hunni Princess, British babies born in 2010 according to an article by Hertfordshire's The Watford Observer.
Just as we'd exhausted regional Top Tens, Pope VXI conveniently made a comment praising the names of the 21 infants – all of children of Vatican employees – he baptized in the Sistine Chapel on January 9. It wasn't much of a comment – he encouraged parents to choose Christian names, but his remarks were about religious faith, not Hollywood trends. It was enough to result in a flurry of headlines, like this one from Canada's National Post: Despite the Pope's disapproval, designer baby names flourish. BBC News Magazine responded with a list of 10 Christian names you don't really hear these days. Gomer and Wilgefortis, anyone? Jezebel also appeared on the BBC list, with an expert insisting that no one would give the name to a child. Name junkies will have heard Jezebel mentioned on more than one message board. Nancy's exhaustive list of J names given to girls in 2009 reveals 24 girls named Jezebel – plus plenty of spelling variants, like:

I replaced them all with 8mm hex to make trail fixes much easier as all the bolts have the same hex size. It also doubles as a nice organizer for other spare bolts/nuts and other small items. I would buy again, but probably get the larger set to compare with.

Steelers' 2013 NFL Draft Results
1 17 ( 17 ) Jarvis Jones, OLB; Georgia
2 16 ( 48 ) Le'Veon Bell, RB; Michigan State
3 17 ( 79 ) Markus Wheaton WR; Oregon State
4 14 ( 111 ) Shamarko Thomas, SS; Syracuse
4 18 ( 115 ) Landry Jones, QB; Oklahoma
5 17 ( 150 ) Terry Hawthorne, CB; Illnois
6 18 ( 186 ) Justin Brown, WR; Oklahoma
6 38 ( 206 ) Vince Williams, LB; Florida State
7 17 ( 223 ) Nick Williams, DT; Samford
From the Yahoo sports blog site: "In 41 games over the last three seasons, McClain has 246 tackles, 6.5 sacks and one interception. McClain's most impressive season came in 2011 when he posted five sacks and a career-high 14 passes defensed as a 14-game starter. However, McClain's on-field performance that season was overshadowed by his off-field exploits. McClain was arrested in Decatur, Alabama in January of 2011 after allegedly pointing a gun at another man and firing it next to his head. McClain was convicted and sentenced to 180 days in jail, but the charges were dropped upon appeal when the victim would not cooperate with the criminal case. In January of 2013, McClain was again arrested in Decatur, Alabama after giving a false name to police during a traffic stop. In between those arrests, McClain was involved in an argument with head coach Dennis Allen and was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team for two games late in the 2012 season. McClain would not play after he was reinstated and he finished his third season in the NFL with 62 tackles and a sack while playing in 48.11 percent of the team's defensive snaps. If off-field exploits and a run-in with a head coach aren't enough of a deterrent to keep a team from trading for McClain, his contract might. McClain, who turns 24 in July, entered the NFL a season before rookies were sacrificed in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement. McClain has two seasons and $10.31 million remaining on his five-year, $40.25 million rookie contract and is scheduled to earn $4.255 million in total cash compensation 2013 and another $6.055 million in 2014. According to a source with knowledge of McClain's rookie contract, $3.635 million of the $10.31 million that remains on the contract is fully guaranteed with no offset language. Whoever acquires the contract, also acquires the $3.635 million in fully guaranteed base salaries." Trade for McClain -- and take on that kind of salary with that kind of risk??? If no trade agreement is reached, the Raiders will have to release McClain, but even then, I don't think the Steelers would bite...nor would I want them to.
He really hasn't ever shown he is that good of a player, plus his off-the-field baggage. Pass.
I would take ...McClain. However, I wouldn't trade for McClain because of his salary. He would have to be released for me to pursue him. It would be a 2 year deal with little up front and loaded with incentives because of his off field issues. He wouldn't be by no means a lock for this year. Year 2 would be an attractive deal for him in his base. If he didn't respond well to the vets, playing STs, and trying to win the starting spot...I would cut him in the last cuts. Risk-reward worth it if he has to earn his $$$. That being said, it only takes one team to "gamble" on who they thought he was coming out of college to give him a nice deal if he is cut.
2014 Draft:
1st (Trade Down) Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE
2a Bradley Roby CB
2b (Via Trade) Kelvin Benjamin WR
3b (Comp) Jeremiah Attaochu OLB
4th Ryan Carrethers NT
5a Max Bullough ILB
5b (Comp) Marqueston Huff S
6th Cornelius Lucas OT
7a Dri Archer RB/WR/KR
7b (Comp) Pat O'Donnell P
We don't need anymore drama, or locker room nonsense. Pass.
2014 NFL Draft
1) Cyrus Kouandjio-OT Alabama
2) Kyle Fuller-DB Virginia Tech
3) Jared Abbrederis-WR Wisconsin (the next Hines Ward)
4) Calvin Barnett-DT Oklahoma
5) Marcus Williams- DB North Dakota State (Best DB you haven't heard of)
6) Venric Mark-RB/WR Northwestern
Looks like a good move to avoid McClain. Amazing that guys waste a golden opportunity because they have **** for brains. He was arrested AGAIN in his hometown.

Stretch marks on arm |
Stretch marks (striae) are pink, red or purple indented streaks that often appear on the abdomen, breasts, upper arms, buttocks and thighs and eventually fade to white or gray. Stretch marks are particularly common in pregnant women, especially during the latter half of pregnancy. Treatment can make stretch marks fade, but it won't completely remove them.
