My great grandmother bought a house and land in 1870 (including her father's name on the deed), then later married a man from Ireland. He was naturalized 10 years later, but someone told me she would have lost her citizenship upon marriage and have to apply again. Is that correct and would that have affected the house status?
Kim - This is an interesting question. You may need to ask a researcher experienced in 19th century women's legal status and citizenship regulations, but I would start by gathering information such as: Where was the land and house located? What was your great-grandmother's native citizenship? If she was a U.S. citizen, was she born here or naturalized? What were the property rights of women in the state where the house and land were located? Was the property held in her name only, or in joint tenancy with someone else? Good luck with your research.

Hello Dan,
We're sorry for the inconvenience, we're working on a rewrite of our plugin which will address all issues.
For now, please try to uninstall it and install this version instead: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/27d69392edce0cbd2d7128b9c74d070d/as/OutlookTodoist.Adx.exe
Also, our plugin uses IE to connect so having the latest version of IE would be beneficial. If you have such option, please upgrade to IE 10.
Best regards,
Thanks David,
Unfortunately, upgrading IE isn't an option for me in our corporate environment. Are you saying that IE 8 is not supported?
With respect to the link you posted for a newer version, what issues is that build supposed to address?
I'm hesitant to reinstall because of another issue I believe was reported on this forum to do with automatically sending drafts; not something I experienced personally in the brief time I had the product installed, but not something I will risk.
One more thing: I didn't mention that our corporate environment uses a proxy for Internet access if that's any help.
Regards, Dan
It's possible that the version above unfortunately may still contain bugs :(
IE 8 should be compatible, but of course it's always best to have the latest version, but if you don't have this option, IE 8 will work too.
Unfortunately, the only alternative for you at this point would be to use Todoist from within a browser at todoist.com We're sorry for the inconvenience, the rewrite we're working on will address these issue, though. We hope we'll have it finished and published soon.
Best regards,
Wow! This is a nice plugin.
I have been experiencing this problem as well. Integration with Outlook was a primary I became a premium user. Please fix as soon as possible.
Please fix it soon as I have encountered the same error and every time when selecting multiple items in outlook2010 (win7 64bit , IE8) , the add-in will cause the outlook crash I have to restart again and remove the plugin.
And while trying to type words in add in interface, it always duplicate the words that im typing , for example , when I type pass in log in page, i pressed "1" , and it shows "11". Same as the space key, it's very annoying bug please fix it as well.
Integration with Outlook is the first reason why I paid for premium service, but above issues are not what I paid for.
Please try to delete the plugin (OutlookTodoist in Programs & Features) and then install this version and let me know if the issue persists: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/cd2fb847eb3397185b45a892c8d94dc5/as/OutlookTodoist.Adx.exe
Best regards,

Orlando is America's great theme park and playground, where the city guarantees fun for all ages. Apart from the thrilling rides and movie adventure, Orlando also has a colourful arts scene with culturally lifting galleries and museums to visit as well as a number of music or theatre productions staged around the city.
Getting to Orlando
Orlando International Airport is one of the main gateways to Florida and the family holiday hotspot of Orlando, providing convenient access to the destination's famous attractions and the downtown area.
The base is located 11km south-east of the city centre, which can be reached via transport options including local buses, taxis and shuttle vans that also run to locations such as Lake Buena Vista and Walt Disney World.
Visitors can also check if their hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service from the airport or hire their own vehicle from companies such as Budget, Hertz and Enterprise.
Major carriers from countries all over the world offer flights to Orlando International Airport, including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Aer Lingus, American Airlines and Air France.
Travellers heading to central Florida can also catch flights to Sanford International Airport in the city of Sanford, about 32km north-east of Orlando.
Get to know Orlando
Orlando is the most visited holiday destination in the United States. It attracted a record-breaking 51.5 million tourists in 2010, becoming the first location in the country to welcome more than 50 million people in a single year.
The Greater Orlando area - which encompasses Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Lake counties - has a population of more than 2.1 million residents in an area of some 2.2 million acres.
Orlando has existed in its current form since the 1830s, when European settlers arrived and established a town in the area.
Arguably one of the most important events in the city's history came in 1965, when Walt Disney opened his new Walt Disney World theme park in the area. Over the following decades, the park became the world's most visited entertainment resort and tourism grew into the cornerstone of the local economy.
Orlando is now home to some 450 hotels and more theme parks and entertainment attractions than anywhere else in the world.
Five must sees in Orlando
No trip to Orlando is complete without a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, 34km south-west of the city centre. The resort comprises four theme parks where visitors can encounter their favourite Disney characters and try all sorts of rides. There are also water parks, spas, golf courses and much more to explore.
One of Disney World's main competitors is the Universal Orlando Resort, which consists of the Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure parks. Here, visitors can experience everything from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Marvel Super Hero Island.
Orlando also provides plenty of highlights for animal lovers, such as SeaWorld. This park presents regular shows featuring killer whales, sea lions and more, and is also home to thrill rides like Kraken and Manta.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the sprawling theme parks, Orlando visitors can find attractions offering culture and some peace and quiet. The Arboretum at the University of Central Florida boasts a collection of more than 600 plant species, including over 100 bromeliads, in an area spanning 80 acres.
Holidaymakers can also spend some time at the Orlando Museum of Art, which presents about a dozen exhibitions every year. The institution also has permanent collections covering topics such as African art and contemporary American graphics, with the latter including pieces by Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Ed Ruscha.
Direct Flights travel tip
When to go to OrlandoOrlando's climate is defined by two major seasons. The months from May to September bring humid weather, with temperatures regularly climbing into the 30s in degrees C and fairly heavy rainfall.
The period from October to April offers more comfortable conditions for holidaymakers, with less rain and lower temperatures.

Law School Applications / Apply to Northwestern Without Interview?« on: January 05, 2007, 05:20:40 PM »
So, I wanted to take advantage of Northwestern's fee waiver, but they "strongly encourage" an interview. The problem is that they are no longer scheduling off campus interviews, so the only way to do it would be to miss work and fly to Chicago.
Has anyone applied to Northwestern without doing an interview? What were your results? Should I save my $12?

Studying for the LSAT / If you missed 3 or fewer on the Dec LR...« on: December 22, 2006, 07:01:35 AM »
1. Which question(s) did you miss, if any?
2. Which controversial question are you proudest of getting correct?
1. I missed supernovas. I picked an answer that strenthened the theory, rather than strengthening the argument.
2. I was right about that weird homes/glass doors/gardens one. This was one I spent a little time on, re-reading thoroughly, but I felt pretty confident I was right about it. It was sort of a long stim, and the key to the answer was buried in the middle of it, in a phrase of a complex sentence. "if it does not already exist"
LSAT horror stories / No bubble sheet?« on: December 15, 2006, 12:40:14 PM »
Not really a horror story, as it didn't really bother me, but kinda interesting:
When they told us to not really open our books, but to slide out our answer sheets, I and one other person in the room didn't have one. The lady at the front was trying to convince me I must have one, but short of turning every page in the book, which I really didn't think they wanted me to do, I couldn't say anything other than, "No, I really don't think so!"
A proctor came and looked through my book, and sure enough, I didn't have one. So, they got me a whole new test, with a bubble sheet. But I think it was the same version, since I got a decent peek at the first page when I was trying to find my answer sheet.
In the bathroom on the break, people were asking me, "Oh my gosh, did you freak out when you didn't have a sheet?"
Not so much.
Personal Statement / You know you want to...« on: November 21, 2006, 08:41:03 AM »
I think I'm pretty close to a final version of my PS, but I'm not positive I really make it clear enough why I want to go to law school... but I also don't want to focus too much on that, since it seems to me that the purpose of this essay is more to let them get to know me.
I would REALLLLY appreciate some feedback from fellow LSDers, since you're more familiar with personal statements than my friends/family/colleagues are.
Any readers?

Bilberry 60 mg (Standardized Extract) 60 Vegetarian Capsules from Thompson® might support vision and provide antioxidant aid to the eyes.
Vaccinium myrtillus or the bilberry is similar to blueberries and has been in use for hundreds of years. It was popular among British pilots who seemed to think that the berry enhanced night vision. Studies have shown that bilberries may be able to help the eyes adapt to changes in light.
These days' both children and adults seem to be spending most of their time in front of a computer' television' or a smart phone. This constant strain is not healthy for the eyes and can eventually harm the quality of vision. Poor lighting and age are other factors that affect vision. This is where the supplement from Thompson® might come in handy.
Excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the free radicals in the eyes and this can damage the retina. Many studies have shown that bilberries' like the ones used in this supplement might be useful for maintaining good vision.

Five Reasons Why You Should Help Your Frenemies March 13 2013
So, back in 2009, I wrote a post about how I wasn't going to blog anymore about Tiger Woods. This post isn't really about Tiger but he's involved in the story behind it.
Last week, Woods won the Cadillac Championship tournament at Doral. Good news for him but not the most interesting part of the story. The interesting part is that the pro Steve Stricker gave Woods a 45 minute putting lesson the night before the tournament started. As a result of Stricker's coaching, Woods had his lowest number of putts ever in a tournament with his win at Doral. Stricker finished second. On a related note, Woods stopped early in the tournament to give some impromptu coaching to his fellow Nike endorser, Rory McIlroy, who has been struggling lately. After the session with Woods, McIlroy went eleven under par over the next 30 holes of play. He finished tied for eighth.
Why would any of these guys give or take lessons from each other when they're all out there to win? They offer some interesting lessons on why it may make sense to help your "frenemies" and why the benefits of "coopetition" might just extend beyond professional golf to what you do in your own competitive environment.
Here are five of them.
One, they recognize that it's their own performance that ultimately matters. It's an act of confidence to help a colleague. It says, "I'm confident enough in my own game that I'll offer you useful coaching and help you with yours."
Two, you learn more by teaching and coaching. By offering help to others, these players are likely reinforcing and developing insights that can help them with their own games.
Three, these guys are confident enough to accept help from a colleague they know and respect. That builds trust and makes the work of the game more fun.
Four, they recognize an opportunity to make the professional game better and more interesting.
Five, when that happens, they all get richer because more fans tune in and more sponsors sign on. In other words, they grow the size of the pie they're sharing. For instance, a lot of pro golfers got a lot richer once Tiger started drawing more eyeballs to the game.
When is it in your mutual interest to help a frenemy? What other reasons would you offer on why it's smart to engage in a little coopetition? When should you absolutely not?
4 Responses to "Five Reasons Why You Should Help Your Frenemies"
Really insightful post, Scott. I'm especially taken by your point 5. Too often we believe the size of the pie is limited and we win only by grabbing more of it for ourselves. I've seen it in too many situations to not accept it as a basic premise of human existence that it is possible for everyone to do better by working together. Make the pie bigger. If the response is "It can't be done", that's just a lack of courage or failure of imagination.
I love the post .
I really do.
The message is right on target.
Slight correction.
Rory McIlroy
Great article!
Thank you for the post Scott. It's a short read (I like that) and right on the money.
To answer your question(s) I think you should always help a frenemy unless they give you reason not to.
Just like personal relationships, business relationships are built on trust. Sharing of knowledge strengthens that bond. Unless your trust is somehow betrayed, you should always be willing to help.
Also, to add to your five points is the incredible power of networking. In business I don't believe there are many more valuable skills. Networking well does not happen without bringing value to the table.
Thanks again.

While it may be true that Nicole and Murray are family now, Nicole being my husband's cousin, I chose to work with them as clients because they are the sort of people I love working with. Nicole is organized, artistic, and sweet. Murray is witty, quick to smile, and smart. Those are just a few of the things you notice about them after only being around them for a little while. Their relationship is sweet, they obviously fit like a hand and glove. At their reception, I was touched when Murray's father pointed to a photo I'd taken of them as a part of their Engagement photos and talked about how blissful Nicole's face looked – a woman in love – and how precious that photo was to him, a representation of their love. As a photographer, that's the kind of thing that makes you glow a little. I caught that same look a couple of times at the wedding – that mixture of pleasure, surrender, and peace. That's the kind of thing we live to capture, as photographers. It was wonderful to have the chance to work with them on their wedding day, from Nicole and her bridesmaids getting their hair done until the dance began to wind down that night, I was able to be a part of their love story. What an honor and a privilege. Nicole's Mom commented to me that she really appreciated that someone who cared and had a vested interest was working with them, and I thought to myself, "But I always do! It's not just something I do for family!" I care about all my couples, really and truly. The romantic in me wants to see their decision to spend their lives together flourish into something beautiful – and my photos to be a lasting reminder that they loved from the beginning. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them!
What a fun wedding! You captured it all. Love how you catered to the fall colors when outdoors. Really like your work.

Platform independence query
I am looking to run a 3D applet through peoples browsers on the internet... Is this possible?
I believe to get things running you would need to install the j3dcore,j3dutils,vecmath jar files then set the classpath to point to them so your code can then import all the com.sun.j3d.* stuff it needs to run.
but which jar files to use seems to be dependent on the platform... they all are available for download here.
but that would mean interrogating a persons system, downloading the correct jar files then editing their classpath somehow. isn't there an easier way?
There are a variety of ways this can be solved. Try a google search on "java3d applet install" also check out "JNLP". There are ways to have java3d installed that way as well.
Looked up 'java3d applet install' all i could ascertain from all the links on the first two pages is that many others have the same problem of trying to get a java3d applet to run on whatever platform it is downloaded to. Is there a specific link that provides an answer to this problem?
Ok I understand it is possible to get that 3d applets should work if you install java3d manually first... as outlined for windows systems here:
But that doesn't mean the applet is a 'run anywhere' applet, and it obliges the user to do lots of install work before getting it going.
True JNLP is a good way to get Java3d code running across the web without the user having to do anything, but it means that users have to agree to a prompt to download the application, and then it runs within a seperate window, not the browser.
OK the code will run this way (which is good.. well done java!) but its not really what I would ideally like.
Ideally I would like it to run as an applet within a webpage on the browser, that downloads reasonably quickly, without it worrying the user with prompts.

CWS appeal update: Cambodia-Thai border crisis/community displacement
More than 500 families have been displaced in continued fighting along the disputed Thaliand-Cambodia border, with the number continuing to grow.
More than 500 families have been displaced in continued fighting along the disputed Thaliand-Cambodia border, with the number continuing to grow. Armies from both countries have escalated their presences in the border region and, as fighting has intensified, 277 houses of Prasat village were burned to the ground. Another 243 families from Kor Mouy and Svay Chum villages have evacuated to Sa-Em, a camp for internally displaced persons.
At least 520 families (1,660 individuals) are without safe shelter, and sustainable water and food supplies as government assistance ended December 1. CWS-Cambodia at that time began some initial humanitarian response efforts. Complicating any humanitarian response are torrential rains and security problems.
CWS response
Church World Service has worked in the region for three years, operating a health clinic and, as of late, provisioning a humanitarian response to this conflict's displacement. CWS Cambodia staff are working in the region to assist 520 of the most vulnerable IDP families by providing food packages, kitchen sets, tents, water containers, mats, mosquito-nets as well as ceramic water filters.
How to help:
Contributions to support Church World Service emergency response and recovery efforts may be made online, by phone (800.297.1516), or sent to Church World Service, P.O. Box 968, Elkhart, IN 46515.

HTTP Error 411 Length required
The Web server (running the Web site) thinks that the HTTP data stream sent by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) should include a 'Content-Length' specification. This is typically used only for HTTP methods that result in the placement of data on the Web server, not the retrieval of data from it.
Fixing 411 errors - general
This error seldom occurs in most Web traffic, particularly when the client system is a Web browser. The problem can only be resolved by examining what your client system is trying to do then discussing with your ISP why the Web server expects a 'Content-Length' specification.
Fixing 411 errors - CheckUpDown
Our service monitors your site for HTTP errors like 411. This error should simply never occur on your CheckUpDown account. If it does, it typically indicates defective programming of our systems or of the Web server which manages the site. The 'Content-Length' specification is irrelevant to the type of access we use when we check your URL.
Please contact us (email preferred) whenever you encounter 411 errors - there is nothing you can do to sort them out. We then have to liaise with your ISP and the vendor of the Web server software to agree the exact reason for the error.
411 errors in the HTTP cycle
Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with the Web server:(1) Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '411'.

NEWPORT CITY – Last Friday, Judge Howard VanBenthuysen handed down a 10-15 year sentence, all suspended, with the exception of six years to serve, to Deontae McNeil, 23, of Putnam, CT.
McNeil's accomplice, Andrew Ladouceur, 26, of Derby, entered a guilty plea Oct. 20, 2011, to a charge of attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling. He is currently serving 4 -10 years with credit for time served. The state dismissed charges of aggravated assault, first degree unlawful restraint and attempted assault and robbery with a weapon.
Nov. 28, McNeil pleaded no contest to aggravated assault with a weapon. The state dismissed a charge of attempted second degree murder.
Oct. 14, 2010, Sgt. Darrin Annis of the Vermont State Police responded to a shooting in Charleston. On the way to the scene, Annis learned the victim had been shot several times outside her home and the suspects had fled in a truck.Â
At the scene, state police Sgt. Sean Selby told Annis that an ambulance had taken the victim, Donelle Morin, to North Country Hospital to be treated for gunshot wounds. Morin also sustained stab wounds.Â
Algi Dubauskas told police he was at his camp when he heard gunshots and someone yelling for help. He walked up a hill where he saw Morin screaming for help, that she had been robbed and to call the police. Morin had blood coming from her mouth and leg. Dubauskas told police that he saw a man on a path behind Morin's house. The man exited the woods and got into a waiting truck. The man turned the truck around and stopped to pick up another man before continuing south.Â
Annis met with Morin at North Country Hospital. Morin said she had been in the shower when she heard her dog barking. She put on her robe and went to the front door where she saw two men approaching. The men indicated they were having motor vehicle problems. Morin said she discretely called the state police. Morin felt the men were "casing" her home. Morin denied one of the men's requests to use the bathroom and took pictures of the men with her phone.Â
Morin was talked into offering the men a ride in her car to get help, but before they could leave the residence, McNeil pointed a revolver at Morin's head. She said they wanted her to take them into her house. Morin became fearful for her life and tried to disarm McNeil. During the process, Morin believed she got shot once in the foot and once in the leg.Â
While the victim was fighting McNeil for the gun, Ladouceur pulled out a knife and stabbed Morin in the hands and arms. McNeil gained control of the gun and left the vehicle. Ladouceur got out, pulled Morin from the vehicle and looked for her cell phone.
Ladouceur and McNeil attempted to force Morin to the front steps of her home. When they heard an approaching car, the men loosened their grip and Morin was able to get away. Morin jumped into her car, locked the door and then realized she didn't have the key. The men approached the vehicle and McNeil fired a shot into driver side front window. Morin feared the men would shoot her in the head and said, "Okay, okay, don't shoot me."
The men pulled Morin out of the car and they began to fight with her. During the struggle, Ladouceur either punched or stabbed Morin. As the men tried to bring her towards her home, Morin broke away. As she started to run, she got shot in the back of the arm. Morin crossed the road and stopped someone to help her.Â
Later that day, Jamie Chateauneuf and others went to the state police barracks in Derby to report that the men involved in the incident were Ladouceur and someone known as "D-Rock" who claims to be "Crip" from Connecticut. Ladouceur and McNeil picked up Chateauneuf near the Border Motel in Derby to give her a ride to Newport. Instead of going to Newport, they traveled to Route 5A and drove towards Westmore until they reached the Hudson Road and turned around. Ladouceur told Chateauneuf to get out of the truck and go into the woods. Chateauneuf started to question why when she saw that "D-Rock" had a revolver in his lap and had a look on his face that scared her. Chateauneuf got out of the truck and walked into the woods.
Chateauneuf told police she thought the men drove towards Charleston, but she could not see them. She then heard gunshots and a woman screaming. Chateauneuf exited the woods and saw "D-Rock" driving towards her. "D-Rock" stopped the truck and told Chateauneuf to get in. "D-Rock" still had the gun and had blood underneath the brim of his hat. They then picked up Ladouceur on the Hudson Road. On the way to Newport, the men spoke of the incident.
Ladouceur's father, whose name is not identified in court records, contacted Annis about the incident. During the conversation, Ladouceur's father said the male was probably McNeil. He also said the two might be hiding at the P & H Truck Stop in Wells River.
John Willey contacted the state police after hearing about the incident on the news. He said that Ladouceur had borrowed his truck. Police seized the truck.Â
In a photo lineup, Morin picked out Ladouceur and McNeil.

#TrueTheVote Day One: Facts, Anger and Divergent Images of Two Crusaders
April 27, 2012 - 8:00 pm
The Hollywood and media left love a crusader. Not in the Knights Templar sense, but in the striving to change the world sense. But they don't love all crusaders equally. Case in point: Earlier today in a post about the EPA's radical region chief I mentioned a crusader. Hollywood loves her and the media eats up her every word. She's southern, she's funny, she's spirited, she's beautiful. She has turned her stance on a set of issues into such a phenomenon that Hollywood even made an eponymous movie about her: Erin Brockovich.
But there's another crusader out there who shares all of Brockovich's external qualities. She saw a huge problem in America just a few years ago and, in a short span, has devoted her life to stopping it. Her local ad hoc group has become a national watchdog; representatives from 32 states are here at the summit in Houston this weekend. So she clearly knows how to lead and motivate. And the problem she is tackling is real. But Hollywood isn't making a movie about her. If it did, Julia Roberts wouldn't star in it. They would do to Catherine Engelbrecht of TrueTheVote what they recently did to Sarah Palin: The starring role goes to someone who publicly hates her, and the film is not the paean that Brockovich got, but would be a nasty hatchet job. For Catherine Engelbrecht, the Hollywood version of her work against voter fraud will have to wait. There's an election on, and she is determined that it will be clean.
Catherine Engelbrecht at the True The Vote summit.
Keeping the 2012 and future elections clean is at the heart of True The Vote's mission. That's not a mission that Hollywood lovingly immortalizes, and it's not a mission that the media mentions approvingly, but if Engelbrecht succeeds, it will immortalize the country one clean election at a time. So Engelbrecht has gathered together a few hundred in Houston this weekend to hear from experts and to study ways to identify and prevent voter fraud.
The first speaker was Anita MonCrief, the courageous young woman who blew the whistle on ACORN's voter fraud and on the 2008 Obama campaign's illicit donation practices. The media wasn't interested in MonCrief's story at the time, and still isn't, despite the fact that ACORN sued her to try to silence her. Former Justice Department lawyer Hans von Spakovsky followed MonCrief, going point by point to prove that voter fraud exists, that it is a real threat to our democracy, and that we must stop it. Following von Spakovsky, former Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama delivered a passionate, brilliant and funny broadside against the notion that requiring a photo ID to cast a vote constitutes a "return to Jim Crow." But the most vivid speech of the night came from Democratic pollster Pat Caddell.
John Fund and Rep. Artur Davis
Pat Caddell is not a young man. He got his start in politics at the age of 16 in the early years of the civil rights movement, and by age 21 had already witnessed a stolen election. In telling how that event alerted him to the threat that stolen elections pose to a country founded on the idea that citizens freely choose their own leaders, Caddell was by turns angry, defiant, and fearless. He spared neither political party, calling out both the "corrupt" and the "stupid" party (and he didn't have to define either for anyone in the room to know exactly which was which). "A stolen election is a stain on America's honor," he said. Caddell blasted his own party for stealing elections, and called for Attorney General Eric Holder to be impeached. He ripped the rank hypocrisy of both parties. He hammered the political class for putting its own pockets and perks ahead of our country's future. He blasted George Soros and the Think Progress crowd for using smears and innuendo to transform this country into something that it is not. Coming from anyone else Caddell's fire might have had less power, but coming from a lifelong Democrat who worked for President Carter, it carried the night. He has been there, he has done that, and he knows what he is talking about.
The fearless Pat Caddell: "I don't speak Democrat and I don't speak Republican. I speak American."
Contrary to the media's portrayal of True The Vote, not all of the speakers were Republicans, and not all of them were white. Not all of them were male. Hollywood won't include that in the film, either, if it ever gets made.

King Hezekiah (Part 1)
2 Kings 18
Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
18 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. 2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did.
4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. 6 For he clave to the Lord, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses. 7 And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 8 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. 10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes: 12 because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of theLord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. 14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house. 16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field. 18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 19 And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I havecounsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. 22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. 24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? 25 Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it:and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 27 But Rab-shakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? 28 Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria: 29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand: 30 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreementwith me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern: 32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. 33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand? 35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand? 36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, whichwas over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
Christ's Second Coming
Zechariah 14:3-9
Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on
Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split
in two,
From east to west,
Making a very large valley;
Half the mountain shall move toward
the north
And half toward the south.
Then you shall flee through My
mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Thus the Lord my God will come,
And all the saints with You.
It shall come to pass in that day
That there will be no light;
The lights will diminish.
It shall be one day
Which is known to the LORD—-
Neither day nor night.
But at evening time it shall happen
That it will be light.
And in that day it shall be
That living waters shall flow from
Half of them toward the eastern sea
And half of them toward the western
In both summer and winter is shall
And the LORD shall be king over all
the earth.
In that day it shall be—
"The LORD is one,"
And His name one.
Final Siege of Jerusalem & Second Coming of the Messiah Zechariah 14:1-8
Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of the battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half toward the south.
Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You.
It shall come to pass in that day That there will be no light; The lights will diminish.
I shall be one day Which is known to the LORD— Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen That it will be light.
And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur.
Jeremiah 24
The LORD showed me, and there were two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad."
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
"Thus say the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans.
'For I will set My eyes on them for good and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.
'Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.
'And as the bad figs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad'— surely thus says the LORD— 'so will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the residue of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.'
'I will deliver them to trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
'And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from the land that I gave them and their fathers.' "
Physical Salvation of Judah Zechariah 12:1-9
The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.
"And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations on earth are gathered against it.
"In that day," says the LORD, I will strike every horse with confusion, and it's rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
"And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts, their God.'
"In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—- Jerusalem.
"The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah.
"In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the LORD before them.
"It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Lamentations 1
How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!
She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
Judah has gone into captivity,
Under affliction and hard servitude;
She dwells among the nations,
She finds no rest;
All her persecutors have overtake her in dire straits.
The roads to Zion mourn
Because no one comes to the set feasts.
All her gates are desolate;
Her priests sigh,
Her virgins are afflicted,
And she is in bitterness.
Her adversaries have become the master,
Her enemies prosper;
For the Lord has afflicted her
Because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.
And from the daughter of Zion
All her splendor has departed.
Her princes have become like deep
That find no pasture,
That flee without strength Before the pursuer.
In the days of her affliction and roaming,
Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things
That she had in the days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
With no one to help her,
The adversaries saw her And mocked her downfall.
Jerusalem has sinned grievously,
Therefore she has become vile.
All who honored her despise her
Because they have seen her nakedness;
Yes, she sighs and turns away.
Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
She did not consider her destiny;
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
She had no comforter.
"O Lord, behold my affliction,
For the enemy has magnified himself!"
The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her pleasant things;
For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
Not to enter Your congregation.
All her people sigh,
They seek bread;
They have given their valuables for food to restore life.
"See, O Lord, and consider, For I am scorned."
"Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Behold and see
If there is any sorrow like my sorrow.
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted on me
In the day of His fierce anger.
"From above He has sent fire into my bones,
And it overpowered them;
He has spread a net for my feet
And has turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.
"The yoke of my transgressions was bound;
They were woven together by His hands,
And thrust upon my neck.
He made my strength fail;
The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand.
"The Lord has trampled underfoot all my might men in my midst;
He has called an assembly against me
To crush my young men;
The Lord trampled as in a winepress
The virgin daughter of Judah.
"For these tings I weep;
My eye, my eye overflows with water,
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
Is far from me.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy prevailed."
Zion spread out her hands,
But there is no one to comfort her;
The Lord has commanded concerning Jacob
That those around him become his adversaries;
Jerusalem has become and unclean thing among them.
"The Lord is righteous,
For I rebelled against His commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.
"I called for my lovers,
But they deceived me;
My priests and my elders
Breathed their last in the city,
While they sought food To restore their life.
"See, O Lord, that I am in distress;
My soul is troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
Outside the sword bereaves ,
At home it is like death.
"They have heard that I sigh,
With no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
They are glad that You have done it.
Bring on the day that You have announced,
That they may become like me.
"Let all their wickedness come before You,
And do to them as You have done to me
For all my transgressions;
For my sighs are many,
And my heart is faint."

Pelissero: Few top-3 draft picks become part of complete turnarounds
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The NFL is designed to promote competitive parity, from the salary cap to revenue sharing to a draft order inverted by record and strength of schedule.
However, it remains a league of haves and have-nots in many ways. Look no further than the inability of roughly half the league to capitalize on the sorts of opportunities the Minnesota Vikings have with the No. 3 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft.
Since the NFL playoffs expanded in 1990, 17 teams have made multiple top-three draft picks, accounting for 56 of those 66 picks (84.8%) overall. Only three of those teams -- St. Louis, Indianapolis and Washington -- have won a championship.
The other 15 teams have combined for 32 Super Bowl appearances, including 19 of 22 titles (86.4%).
Moreover, just four players selected with top-three picks since 1990 have gone on to win a Super Bowl with the teams that drafted them. The only one in the past 13 years was Reggie Bush, who joined a New Orleans team that had the No. 2 overall pick in 2006 because of a nomadic 3-13 debacle during Hurricane Katrina.
The reduction of rookie contracts under the new collective-bargaining agreement makes misses less costly at the top of the draft, but the have-nots don't always miss. In many cases, the decision-makers fail to execute a global team-building plan or run out of time before they can complete the overhaul that comes with being bad enough to land in the top three.
Vikings general manager Rick Spielman probably has time on his side after being promoted in January. He has made clear to ownership his rebuilding plan is predicated on consistent, long-term success. And making the right call at No. 3 is only part of the process, albeit an important one.
The following is a breakdown of the 66 top-three picks since 1990 by team and the impact of those selections on the franchise:
Five times
• Cleveland (0 Super Bowl appearances/0 wins): In the first three years of their (second) existence, the Browns selected QB Tim Couch (No. 1 overall pick in 1999), DE Courtney Brown (No. 1, 2000) and DT Gerard Warren (No. 3, 2001). Only Warren wasn't a bust, and he left for Denver after four seasons. WR Braylon Edwards (No. 3, 2005) had one good season and was such a mess off the field the Browns had to dump him. LT Joe Thomas (No. 3, 2007) is a perennial All-Pro, but he's yet to play with a quarterback who makes his presence worthwhile.
• Detroit (0/0): Misses on QB Joey Harrington (No. 3, 2002) and WR Charles Rogers (No. 2, 2003) lowlighted the Matt Miller era. An influx including WR Calvin Johnson (No. 2, 2007), QB Matthew Stafford (No. 1, 2009) and DT Ndamukong Suh (No. 2, 2010) have the Lions among the NFL's ascending teams, but it took a lot of awful seasons to get there and the franchise still hasn't won a playoff game since Jan. 5, 1992.
• Arizona/Phoenix (1/0): RB Garrison Hearst (No. 3, 1993) and DE Simeon Rice (No. 3, 1996) had their best years after escaping a team owner Bill Bidwill long ran on the cheap. DE Andre Wadsworth (No. 3, 1998) was an epic bust. T Leonard Davis (No. 2, 2001) ended up making three Pro Bowls as a guard with Dallas and was gone before the Cardinals reached a Super Bowl with help from WR Larry Fitzgerald (No. 3, 2004), who is one of the NFL's best receivers but hasn't had anyone to throw to him since Warner retired.
• Indianapolis (2/1): The Colts blew it with QB Jeff George (No. 1, 1990), DE Steve Emtman (No. 1, 1992) and LB Quentin Coryatt (No. 2, 1992) before hitting on HB Marshall Faulk (No. 2, 1994) and QB Peyton Manning (No. 1, 1998), who led them to a championship in his ninth season and another Super Bowl appearance three years later. Indianapolis hasn't had a top-three pick since -- until they draft No. 1 overall this month, thanks to a brutal season with Manning sidelined by neck surgery.
• St. Louis (2/1): The Rams traded up with the Jets for LT Orlando Pace (No. 1 in 1997), who protected Kurt Warner's blindside on a team that won a title in his third season and lost one in his fifth. Once Warner left, the Rams tanked, churning through several regimes and ending up with high picks in 2008 (No. 2, DE Chris Long), 2009 (No. 2, T Jason Smith) and 2010 (No. 1, QB Sam Bradford), plus the No. 2 pick this year they traded to Washington. Smith has been a bust. DT Sean Gilbert (No. 3, 1992) had 10½ sacks in his second season, left after his fourth and became best-known for sitting out the 1997 season in a contract dispute.
Four times
• Cincinnati (0/0): DT Dan Wilkinson (No. 1, 1994), RB Ki-Jana Carter (No. 1, 1995) and QB Akili Smith (No. 3, 1999) remain painful punchlines for penny-pinching owner Mike Brown's franchise. The Bengals got two Pro Bowls and no playoff wins out of QB Carson Palmer (No. 1, 2003), who was never the same after blowing out a knee in 2008 and forced his way to Oakland last year.
Three times
• Houston (0/0): QB David Carr (No. 1, 2002) was the franchise's first draft pick and failed in part because he had so little around him. The Texans hit on WR Andre Johnson (No. 3, 2003) and DE Mario Williams (No. 1, 2006), who bolted for a $100 million megacontract with Buffalo last month.
• Atlanta (1/0): DB Bruce Pickens (No. 3, 1991) didn't work out and was long gone before the 1998 NFC championship. QB Michael Vick (No. 1, 2001) was a Pro Bowler before felony dogfighting charges led to prison time and his release. QB Matt Ryan (No. 3, 2008) has proven a competent starter, but the Falcons are 0-3 in the playoffs with him under center.
• Oakland (1/0): DT Darrell Russell (No. 2, 1997) had his career derailed by drug problems and wasn't around for the 2002 AFC championship -- the Raiders' last playoff appearance under late owner Al Davis' deteriorating rule. T Robert Gallery (No. 2, 2004) never met expectations. QB JaMarcus Russell (No. 2007) is the biggest bust of the past decade, and that's saying something.
• Seattle (1/0): DT Cortez Kennedy (No. 3, 1990) is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame despite playing on a lot of lousy teams. QB Rick Mirer (No. 2, 1993) was a mistake and DB Shawn Springs (No. 3, 1997) -- drafted with a pick acquired from Atlanta for selections in Rounds 1 through 4 -- was in Washington before the Seahawks made the Super Bowl after the 2005 season.
• Washington (1/1): The Super Bowl the Redskins won after the 1991 season was a distant memory before they missed on QB Heath Shuler (No. 3, 1994). They made a pair of deals to move up for LB LaVar Arrington (No. 2, 2000) and T Chris Samuels (No. 3, 2000), who both became Pro Bowlers. But the Redskins have only one playoff win since 1999 and quick-trigger owner Dan Snyder often has fallen into the trap of trying to buy titles through free agency.
Two times
• New York Jets (0/0): RB Blair Thomas (No. 2, 1990) didn't work out. WR Keyshawn Johnson (No. 1, 1996) made two Pro Bowls with the Jets, but he got his ring in Tampa Bay.
• Jacksonville (0/0): T Tony Boselli (No. 2, 1995) made five Pro Bowls before injuries forced him into early retirement. LB Kevin Hardy (No. 2, 1996) was a solid player who had 10½ sacks in 1999.
• Miami (0/0): RB Ronnie Brown (No. 2, 2005) had one 1,000-yard season before injuries sapped his explosion. Like Thomas, T Jake Long (No. 1, 2008) is a Pro Bowl performer with no one of note to protect.
• Carolina (1/0): DE Julius Peppers (No. 1, 2002) helped the Panthers to their only Super Bowl appearance in his second season. Can QB Cam Newton (No. 1, 2011) do the same?
• Tennessee/Houston Oilers (1/0): QB Steve McNair (No. 3, 1995) was drafted before the move and helped the Titans to a Super Bowl appearance in his fifth season. They had less luck with Vince Young (No. 3, 2006), who was involved in several unfortunate incidents on and off the field and was released in January 2011.
• San Diego (1/0): The Chargers whiffed badly on QB Ryan Leaf (No. 2, 1998), then targeted the same position with QB Eli Manning (No. 1, 2004), who was flipped for a package including No. 4 pick Philip Rivers and has won two Super Bowls with the Giants. The Chargers also made deals in 1998 with Arizona, which blew the pick on Wadsworth, and in 2001 with Atlanta, which drafted Vick.
One time
• Kansas City (0/0): DE Tyson Jackson (No. 3, 2009) has developed into a solid player, but the Chiefs are in transition again.
• Philadelphia (1/0): QB Donovan McNabb (No. 2, 1999) made six Pro Bowls with the Eagles, who rode him to a Super Bowl in his sixth season and four other NFC championship game appearances -- but no titles.
• New Orleans (1/1): Circumstances gave the Saints a chance to draft HB Reggie Bush (No. 2, 2006), who helped spark the turnaround that led to a championship in his fourth season. They dealt the No. 2 pick to Washington in 2000.
• San Francisco (1/1): It's been a long time since the 49ers won their last title after the 1994 season. Persistent turnover at the offensive coordinator position contributed to the struggles of QB Alex Smith (No. 1, 2005), who remains the 49ers' starter but has fallen short of the second quarterback taken, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers. They dealt the No. 3 pick to Washington in 2000.
• Tampa Bay (1/1): The Buccaneers built a roster that won a championship after the 2002 season, long before they took DT Gerald McCoy (No. 3, 2010), who has been plagued by injuries.
• Baltimore/old Cleveland Browns (1/1): DB Eric Turner (No. 2, 1991) played one season after the 1996 move to Baltimore, where the Ravens won a title after the 2000 season without him.
• Denver (2/2): The Broncos haven't been back to the Super Bowl since the retirement of John Elway, who now serves as the team's vice president of football operations. His first draft pick was LB Von Miller, who had 11½ sacks as a rookie.
• Dallas (3/3): NT Russell Maryland (No. 1, 1991) was a part of three Super Bowl-winning teams with the Cowboys, who are 1-7 in their past eight playoff games.
• Buffalo (4/0): The Bills have been through six head coaches since Marv Levy's retirement in 1997 and haven't won a playoff game. But they didn't have a top-three pick until last year, when they took DT Marcell Dareus (No. 3, 2011).
• New England (6/3): The Patriots haven't had a top-three pick since QB Drew Bledsoe (No. 1, 1993), who led them to a Super Bowl appearance in his fourth season.
Zero times
• Vikings (0/0): The last time they went 3-13, the Vikings ended up with the No. 4 overall pick and drafted future Pro Football Hall of Fame end Chris Doleman. They've drafted in the top 10 only four times since and never higher than No. 7. Their last top-three pick came in 1968, when they used the No. 1 overall selection on another future hall of famer, tackle Ron Yary.
• Chicago (0/1): The Bears have drafted in the top 10 only six times since 1990 and haven't had a top-three pick since 1972, when they missed on tackle Lionel Antoine at No. 3.
• Green Bay (3/2): One of the NFL's model football operations in recent years, the Packers have had only four top-10 picks since 1990 and haven't drafted in the top three since 1989, when they blew the No. 2 selection on steroid-driven tackle Tony Mandarich.
• Pittsburgh (4/2): The Steelers' last top-three pick was hall of famer Terry Bradshaw, who went No. 1 in 1970.
• New York Giants (4/3): Not including the trade for Manning, the Giants haven't selected in the top three since 1984, when they got a solid but unspectacular linebacker named Carl Banks.
