Seniors Lead OSU in Day Four Practice
EULESS, Texas – Oklahoma State completed its fourth practice in preparation for the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, working for an hour and 45 minutes Monday at Trinity High School.
"Practice was good," Head Coach Mike Gundy said. "We went through special teams and had good offensive and defensive periods. The attitude and tempo were really good. We've got great senior leadership with 28 of those guys. That helps us during bowl week."
One of those seniors, cornerback Justin Gilbert, will be on the defensive side of perhaps the game's most intriguing matchup, going against Missouri receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. Green-Beckham is 6-5. Gilbert is 6-0. Both are considered among the best at their positions nationally.
"I think you're looking at two potential first-round draft picks," Gundy said. "So when you have that type of talent competing against each other it will always be a lot of fun. With his size, he's very tall for a receiver but Gilbert's also very tall for a corner.
"Gilbert has made us proud this year. He didn't play well last year and this year he's had a great season. He had a great offseason, worked hard, been a good leader. At one point late in the season, he got hurt and played through it, played with some pain and came back."
The Cowboys went through media day interviews at AT&T Stadium on Monday and were scheduled to visit Texas Scottish Rite Hospital on Tuesday in Dallas.
"We want to thank the Cotton Bowl and AT&T and everybody involved," Gundy said. "We've been here a few days now and the hospitality and the accommodations and entertainment and facilities that we've had have been really good. Our players have had a great few days."
The 78th AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic is Friday, Jan. 3 on FOX. Airtime is set for 6:30 p.m. CST with kickoff scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Making their fourth appearances as members of FOX's broadcast crew, Gus Johnson and Charles Davis will describe all the action and will be joined by Kristina Pink reporting from the sideline. FOX is broadcasting the Classic for the 16th consecutive year.
ESPN Radio returns as the Classic's national radio partner for a second-straight year. Brad Sham, the "Voice of the Dallas Cowboys," will partner with Ed Cunningham offering color commentary and Ian Fitzsimmons adding analysis from the sideline to provide the call of the 78th Classic to hundreds of affiliate stations around the country as well as subscribers of Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio in the United States and Canada.

What a Super Bowl, right? It was the second-greatest of the past few years, behind only Super Bowl XLII, when the New England Patriots' undefeated season went down in flames -- although Steelers-Cards (XLIII) certainly merits consideration.
Baltimore's win leaves many to wonder if the Ravens are in fact the best team in pro football. The Powers That Be at NFL.com saw this potential outcome and immediately thought: "Power rankings? Yeeessssss!" Let me show you how you find out you're getting an assignment at my place of work:
@datbowtie Good news. All 32 rankings coming from @harrison_nfl Tuesday after Super Bowl.â Henry Hodgson (@nflukhank) January 26, 2013
Twitter, of course. (There went my Super Bowl after-party -- and the better part of Monday.)
It's worth mentioning that I had written some pretty good rot before the power went out in my apartment. Yes, I was dominating Microsoft Word for Mac. To compare it to a football game, I'd say the score was 28-6. But the long delay allowed writer's block back into the fold, so this intro is being cut short.
How do the 32 NFL teams stand today, going forward into free agency and beyond? The answer key lies below. Feel free to pass along any thoughts on these rankings to the usual addy: @Harrison_NFL.
Let the dissension commence on this, the first official Power Rankings of the 2013 season ...
Joy for
Baltimore Ravens fans ... agony for NFL.com's Power Ranker. Is Baltimore truly the top team in football heading into the 2013 offseason? I deliberated at my computer. I deliberated with NFL.com colleagues. I deliberated on the calf-extension machine ... at Q's Billiards ... at the tire place.
Here's the deal: Baltimore is No. 1, and not just because the Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII. This becomes clear through the process of elimination. Consider:
a) The Ravens have beaten New England in two straight meetings. You can make a solid case they should've won the AFC Championship Game in Foxborough last season, too.
b) San Francisco is an outstanding football team, but the 49ers also had to squeeze past Atlanta, were blown out late in the regular season at Seattle and went 0-1-1 versus the Rams. The Ravens won the Super Bowl fair and square, irrespective of what you might think about the officiating. Yes, there was a power outage, and some folks believe it had a glowing effect on the game. I don't. And anyway, if any team was helped by it, it was the 49ers.
c) It can't be Denver. The Ravens beat the Broncos in their stadium. Denver finally faced a team playing quality football (after hardly doing so for two months) and was beat, making us all wonder about the merit of the club's 11-game winning streak.
d) The Packers have lost two straight divisional-round bouts. No, they've been whupped in two straight divisional-round bouts.
e) Atlanta hasn't been able to close the door. Given the Falcons' mediocre running game, that's not likely to change.
f) We need to see a thicker catalogue from Seattle. Too soon.
g) Houston? Next.
Obviously, the contract situations of Joe Flacco and Ed Reed hover slightly above "relevant" in terms of importance. The Ray Lewis departure is a huge loss in the locker room but a gain on the field. I'll tell you what, though: Having a healthy Lardarius Webb in the secondary will make the defense better in 2013.
What a tough loss to take,
49ers faithful. The most mind-boggling aspect? The questionable play calling by offensive coordinator Greg Roman in the most important goal-to-go sequence of the season. He had been rock solid pretty much all year.
But don't worry. San Francisco is exploding with young talent: Mike Iupati, Michael Crabtree, NaVorro Bowman, Chris Culliver, Aldon Smith, Joe Staley and obviously Colin Kaepernick. Like the Pats, the Niners boast an excellent blend of young and old. So what will they get for Alex Smith?
The New England Patriots are still one of the top two teams in the AFC. That's becoming old hat. Still, it's been eight seasons since this team won the Super Bowl. The key for the Pats, as mentioned above, is their mix of veterans and young talent. Stevan Ridley, for example, just broke out in his second NFL season. The linebacking corps is turning into a team strength. If the Pats get Ed Reed, New England will be playing in New Jersey a little less than a year from now.
Concern abounded in this space a month ago regarding the possibility that offensive coordinator Mike McCoy could be distracted by potential head-coaching vacancies. Whether or not that played any role in
the loss to the Ravens is up for debate. The decision to run the ball three straight times and punt with 2:23 left was
John Fox's, not McCoy's.
McCoy is now gone, taking over as San Diego's head coach. So here are two other thoughts regarding the Denver Broncos:
1) Can Peyton Manning hold up for 16 games again at age 37? In 1998, a 38-year-old John Elway missed four starts, but Denver went 4-0, thanks to solid backup Bubby Brister. Denver doesn't have that kind of depth at QB right now.
2) How much of the Broncos' season-ending 11-game winning streak was legit? Just two teams beaten during that streak -- Cincinnati and Baltimore -- finished with winning records. And the Ravens, of course, ousted the Broncos from the playoffs.
This is a tough call. The Atlanta Falcons are capable of putting up 13 wins -- they've managed that feat in two of the past three years. They also have no problem getting out in front of opponents with coordinator Dirk Koetter's explosive offensive. The good news: Koetter signed a contract extension to remain in Atlanta. The not-so-good news: It doesn't seem that this team can change much to get over the hump. Mike Smith's club is already the least penalized, most disciplined team in the league. Getting Brent Grimes back will help. Nonetheless, little will change until this team learns to close the deal in the postseason. Even in the divisional-round win over the Seahawks, many felt Seattle should've pulled it out. I'll go with could've.
There are multiple question marks entering every offseason for every team, but in Seattle, the biggest has to be how this club will fare without defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who left for the head job in Jacksonville. We can talk free agents, or Russell Wilson's development. Still, much of 2013's success will boil down to how Dan Quinn does in his new role as Bradley's replacement. Luckily for the 12th Man, Quinn was in charge of the defensive line under Pete Carroll in 2010. He knows the personnel, and, more importantly, the drop-off should be nil. Should be.
Green Bay Packers are easily the favorites to win the NFC North. The bottom line for this group is threefold (yes, I'm in a listy mood):
1) Dom Capers' job might be safe, but the defense must improve to get to the next step. The Packers' D is decent now, but not stout enough to overcome ...
2) ... the running game. Averaging 3.9 yards per carry, Alex Green and the committee exhibited promise, but not enough to truly diminish the immense load on Aaron Rodgers.
3) Randall Cobb has developed? Doesn't mean Greg Jennings is expendable.
Is this a premium team? Houston Texans fans must be concerned with how this past season played out. The club couldn't get past New England in the playoffs and really played poorly for much of December. I could see Houston going 12-4 again or dropping a rung (or two). Brian Cushing's return should help immensely, as will playing in a still-weak AFC South.
Another postseason berth, another season-ender at Reliant. So what's in store for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2013? This club has been in the playoffs three of the past four seasons, yet can't get past the first round. Heading toward next season, the hope is that the kids continue to get better, starting with A.J. Green, Andy Dalton and Jermaine Gresham. Don't sleep on 2012 third-round draft pick Mohamed Sanu, who really came on before getting hurt. Better yet, the Bengals have a crapload of cap space (over $50 million).
If Robert Griffin III is back for the beginning of the 2013 season, the Washington Redskins are the frontrunners to win the NFC East. Not because they won it in 2012. No, because they won it in 2012 despite having two of their key contributors (Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker) miss almost the entire season. Having a healthy Orakpo on the defensive side of the ball is like having Kat Dennings return for another season on "2 Broke Girls." That's a big development ...
The New Orleans Saints need to clear some cap space this offseason. Nonetheless, this non-playoff team could quickly turn into a contender in 2013. Sean Payton is back, the bounty scandal is in the past and these players just saw the Super Bowl played on their field. This is a new team, without the biggest distraction since Spygate -- and the McRib.
Talk about never knowing what you're gonna get from a team ... From 9-7 Super Bowl champs to 9-7 postseason-free chumps. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw has another foot surgery on his résumé, meaning David Wilson must be ready from the get-go (unlike in 2012). It was evident by midseason that Eli Manning had too much on his shoulders -- similar to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay -- yet Eli didn't play as well. It sure would help if Hakeem Nicks could ever stay healthy.
The Indianapolis Colts have some core pieces, no question. The expectation here, however, is that Indy will take a step back. The magical 11-5 season was just that. The Colts continually pulled out tight ballgames while getting blown out in losses. That's not to say this club falls to 6-10, but some of those squeakers will go the other way in 2013. The Colts were outscored by 30 points over the course of the season, and two of their most prominent players -- Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney -- are getting long in the tooth. Freeney, who didn't fit the new defensive scheme well, will likely be donning a new uni in 2013. They have some money to play with this offseason, so get ready for some Irsay tweetage.
Many Dallas Cowboys players -- including DeMarcus Ware -- were disappointed by the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Will Monte Kiffin be an upgrade? That's a difficult question. Honestly, it's tough to evaluate Ryan's performance in 2012, considering all of the injuries this team dealt with on the defensive side of the ball. (During one game, Dallas lined up with just five of its original starters on D.) That said, while Ryan has had one top-10 defense in his career as a coordinator, Kiffin's Tampa Bay defenses finished in the top 10 during 11 of his 13 years with the Bucs (1996 to 2008). That's why Ryan has been out of work for a bit longer than five minutes.
Sure thing: The Pittsburgh Steelers are always in the running. The Steelers have finished 8-8 or better in 12 of the past 13 seasons. So how much can they improve on 2012's .500 mark? Whether fans are sick of hearing it or not, age is still an issue to be addressed on defense. James Harrison is likely gone. Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark only have so much gas left in the tank at safety. Where will Mike Wallace play in 2013? Who is the starter at tailback?
In our last regular season Power Rankings, I predicted the
Chicago Bears would surprise folks by pulling a name somewhat out of nowhere in their search for a new head coach.
Marc Trestman certainly qualifies. He did a nice job as the
49ers offensive coordinator in 1995-96 with Steve Young under center, and in Oakland as the OC on the team that went to
Super Bowl XXXVII. He even escaped the wrath of Tim Brown and Jerry Rice, unlike, uh,
Bill Callahan.
Can Trestman get more effectiveness from Jay Cutler? More productivity from Michael Bush? How about the O-line? Also, will new defensive coordinator Mel Tucker find a way to create turnovers the way Rod Marinelli's defense did last season? Bears faithful, does the Trestman hire concern you? Hit me up @Harrison_NFL.
Like so many in my business, I was soooo wrong about the 2012 Minnesota Vikings. Didn't see 10-6 coming. And I can't see a repeat of it now. Not unless Christian Ponder takes a giant step in his third year, and an even larger leap is made by the receiver corps. Having Percy Harvin for 16 games instead of nine would be nice. Adrian Peterson going for 2,000 yards -- or at least 1.7K -- seems almost necessary. The club carries over some cap residual, leaving room to make (tempered) noise in free agency.
St. Louis Rams fans have to like what they saw from this club in 2012. The potential is there. I loved the way Jeff Fisher's team competed in Seattle on the last day of the regular season -- a possible contender for our Top 20 Games of 2012. The organization met with Dick Jauron on Monday for its vacancy at defensive coordinator. Jauron was replaced by former Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton in Cleveland last month, but I think he'll get the Rams gig.
Ron Rivera held his job. Rob Chudzinski did not. Carolina's former offensive coordinator is now the lead dog in Cleveland, which is slightly relevant. Cam Newton and the offense came alive over the last nine games, scoring a whopping 251 points while going 6-3. Chudzinski played a large role in the late-season success. Now it's up to Mike Shula, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach to fill Chud's spot. Continuity is rarely a bad thing, and with Rivera retaining his gig, this move made sense. Carolina is over the cap, with Jon Beason, Chris Gamble and Jonathan Stewart (or DeAngelo Williams) subject to a possible release. Rivera has his work cut out for him.
What's the plan in 2013? In 2012, Greg Schiano made some noise by playing about 7,000 guys in the preseason. Tampa got hot in midseason and, at 6-4, was in prime wild-card contention -- until everything fell apart. Tampa Bay needs to draft the best corner available. The front office must get a deal done with Michael Bennett, whom I personally watched decimate the Cowboys in Week 3. Then there's the Josh Freeman enigma. Is he the answer?
Mike McCoy comes to town with perhaps the trickiest research project in the business: discovering what happened to Philip Rivers. (Well, other than the fact that Robert Meachem gave the San Diego Chargers virtually nothing in free agency, and ditto for Eddie Royal.) The Bolts' new head coach inherits a smart veteran quarterback, though he might not be as accomplished as Peyton Manning ... Still, Rivers once led all quarterbacks not named Otto Graham in career points per game. He's 31. Kurt Warner's career took a nosedive at 31, but he eventually got it back. Rivers can, too.
What if the Miami Dolphins signed Greg Jennings AND Mike Wallace? Yeah, and what if Charlize Theron became an NFL.com analyst? OK, dreaming aside, Miami does have the cap space to get an impact player. The Dolphins also must re-sign Jake Long and -- potentially -- Reggie Bush. With five picks in the top 100 of the 2013 NFL Draft, this 7-9 football team could be pretty damn good in 2013 ... or 2014.
Michael Lombardi and Rob Chudzinski are new to the party. Both have much to do. The former must retool a defense that was ransacked by injury early last season and could use pieces in the back seven. A free safety would be apropos, as would a healthy Chris Gocong at linebacker. In fact, add another linebacker to that list. And if another new guy in Cleveland, defensive coordinator Ray Horton, makes the switch to a 3-4, the defensive line will see a shakeup. Ironically, that might be the most talented section of the defense. Big question marks here, and we haven't even discussed Brandon Weeden.
The club has decisions to make on free agents-to-be Chris Houston and Louis Delmas. Houston has been so-so, while Delmas has found it darn near impossible to make it through a 16-game season. The modern-day Bob Sanders played in just eight games last season. Secondary quagmires aside, Detroit can't allow 10 return touchdowns (most in NFL) again. Nor can Jim Schwartz's offense afford to run the ball so inconsistently.
The K-Gun offense is all the rage in Buffalo. It's being resurrected at the rate of hobbits, nerd-turned-"cool guy" commercials and coaches reportedly throwing Super Bowls. But here's the problem with head coach Doug Marrone's master plan: Who's gonna throw the ball, i.e., run the offense? Ryan Fitzpatrick? OK. Where's Andre Reed, James Lofton and Keith McKeller (whom the offense was named after)? Does Buffalo have the personnel? If the answer in the minds of Bills fans is "yes," that means they're only worried about new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett's lack of experience. I don't blame them. If Buffalo is to go up-tempo, it has to be all in, or the fast-track approach likely won't work.
Oh, boy. With over $140 million committed toward the cap and a very public quarterback issue, this organization is going to get worse before it gets better. When it comes to people in new jobs, who thinks New York Jets general manager John Idzik has the most formidable challenge? To trade or not to trade the best cover corner in pro football -- that is the first, best question. At least Idzik called Darrelle Revis, pulling a Sergeant Schultz "I know nothing!"
Chip Kelly made the big move. Now, can the Philadelphia Eagles make a move out of the NFC East cellar with a whole new offensive system? Well, it could mean boffo numbers for LeSean McCoy. But it definitely means the Eagles have some gnarly choices to make at quarterback. Could Kelly make it work with Nick Foles? That's a rather significant uncertainty. Maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves: There's a solid chance Michael Vick could return, despite everyone assuming, just a few weeks ago, that he would be gone.
Ray Horton is now spearheading the defense in Cleveland. Still, the
Arizona Cardinals have the parts on that side of the ball. Unfortunately, this team's massive offensive questions overshadow the defensive strengths. Those questions exist at quarterback and offensive line. (Yup, two pretty substantial areas.)
New head coach Bruce Arians was hired to work wonders with the NFL's worst offense this side of the Jets. (Is it any surprise these two clubs played a 7-6 barnburner in 2012?) The money is on Kevin Kolb to win the QB job. (Especially considering the actual money spent on Kolb, which usually rules the day when it comes to closely contested position battles.) Regardless of who's under center, the offensive line must improve. Even a Frankensteining Kurt Warner wouldn't be able to accomplish much behind a line that gives up 58 sacks.
Chris Johnson wasn't overly excited with the direction of the team last month, when some position coaches lost their jobs. Sometimes that's what happens when a head coach (
Mike Munchak) keeps his job after a 6-10 season. What CJ2K
will like is an upgrade at offensive line. While he was inconsistent in his own right, Johnson often had nary a crease to run through. The interior of the line was banged up, but it could be retooled in a draft that actually has some guards to go around. It will be interesting to see what the team will do with the 10th overall pick. Could the
Titans trade down and get line help later?
John Glennon of The Tennessean wrote an informative piece detailing the O-line, identifying some free-agent names in the process. Still, methinks April's draft is the solution here, despite the Titans having a healthy amount of cap space (almost $20 million).
Love the Gus Bradley hire. The offense was supposed to be the big problem in 2012, particularly after Maurice Jones-Drew's holdout, but the defense was miserable for much of the season -- finishing 30th overall. Bradley was the only head coach of the eight hired in January whose discipline falls on the defensive side of the ball. I'd like to see Daryl Smith return, as he had been one of the AFC's most underrated linebackers before an injury-riddled 2012 campaign. New Jacksonville GM David Caldwell has expressed optimism regarding Blaine Gabbert. We'll see how long that lasts.
This is perhaps the most interesting NFL locale as we transition to the 2013 season. When Andy Reid took over the Eagles in 1999, they were nothing short of awful. (Philadelphia had won three games in the previous season.) But by 2000, Reid's group was 11-5 and won a playoff game. Much of that had to do with the emergence of quarterback Donovan McNabb. So who will be the man under center at Arrowhead this fall? Reid is obviously catching up on the "play" of Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn. This isn't the draft for quarterbacks. Then again, 1999 was supposed to be a great year for quarterbacks, and McNabb was pretty much the only guy who ended up having a lengthy, productive career.
It's not easy ranking the Oakland Raiders dead last. Except it kind of is. Oakland showed virtually no improvement down the stretch in 2012, losing eight of the last nine games. Though Dennis Allen is a defensive-minded coach, his D allowed more than 28 points per game during that stretch. Carson Palmer didn't play poorly, but too much of his production came in garbage time -- solid in fantasy, worthless in reality. So what now?

Few Chechen immigrants make it to U.S.
One suspect in the Boston marathon bombing was a naturalized U.S. citizen and both claimed Chechen heritage. It's rare for ethnic Chechens, especially men, to be granted asylum in the USA.
There are probably fewer than about 200 Chechen immigrants in the United States, and most of them are settled in the Boston area, as many U.S. cities have refused to accept asylum applicants from the war-torn area of southern Russia, says Glen Howard, president of the Jamestown Foundation.
About 70% of the Chechen immigrants are women, Howard says. Very few men are granted asylum because of U.S. anti-terrorism policies and because Russia often protests when ethnic Chechens try to settle in the U.S., he said. The U.S. admitted only 197 refugees from all of Russia in 2012.
That contrasts with many European countries, especially Austria, where many Chechens who want to leave difficult conditions at home settle. Austria has about 30,000 Chechen immigrants, Howard said.
"This family is a very rare episode. Very few make it here, even fewer get green cards," Howard said. The Jamestown Foundation has testified on behalf of several ethnic Chechens who have applied for asylum in the United States, which is typically a three- to five-year process. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the remaining suspect in the Boston marathon bombing, is a naturalized U.S. citizens.
STORY: Russia's Chechnya has long terrorist connections
FULL COVERAGE: Boston Marathon explosions
STORY: 'I knew this kid': Neighbors recall Tsarnaev brothers
President Obama has tried to "restart" U.S. relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has maintained a tough policy on Chechen insurgents. The U.S. also wants to maintain a key military supply line to Afghanistan known as the "northern route," which runs across Central Asia and southern Russia.
Immigrating from Chechnya is particularly difficult because there are several groups on the U.S. Department of Treasury terrorism list, such as Islamic International Brigade, the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment and the Riyadus-Salikhin Battalion, which were implicated in the Moscow theater hostage bombing of 202 that killed 129, including an American.
The Tsarnaev family apparently moved to Dagestan after the outbreak of the Russia-Chechnya war in 1999. The fact that they resided in Makhachkala and not in Khasavyurt, as most other ethnic Chechens in the republic, indicates that they had the financial means to live in the capital of Dagestan, which is quite expensive, says Mairbek Vatchagaev, a Chechen analyst for the foundation.
Tamerlan and Dzhokhar's mother, Zubeidat, emigrated legally to the United States and received permanent residence for herself and her four children, Vatchagaev said.
Dzhokhar, the suspect who is still at large, is a Chechen name and he was likely named after the first separatist president from Chechen who died in 1995, Dzokhar Dudaev, Howard said.
Police are on the hunt for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. His brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a firefight with police early Friday. VPC

She Turned In Her Own MOTHER
Sometimes the best part about your Wreck submissions isn't the photo, but the e-mail that came with it. Today's Wreck is aces on both counts. So allow me to allow Sarah L. to give you the intro.
You'll understand why Sarah was so adamant about her mom doing better work in just a moment.
In fact, I'd say all will be made clear right...about....
Hi, Sarah's mom!
Say, you DO kind of look like you're having a nervous breakdown. Perhaps if you sprinkled a little more powdered sugar?
To be fair, Sarah offers the following explanation:
"The wedding took place during August in Dallas, and I think the biggest lesson here is humidity and fondant DO NOT mix. The cake was essentially "sweating," and as it melted, it began to lean."
Whoah, whoah, whoah! An over-caffeinated toddler with poor spatial awareness? Really? C'mon, maybe if she just added a few flowers...
You mean she didn't have an anxiety attack? Aw, now that's a couple that's gonna go the distance, right there.
Well, I think we've all learned some valuable lessons today. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to dig up some embarrassing pictures of my mom during Band Camp; this mom stuff is comedy GOLD.
Oh, and Sarah? Better go with the premium bouquet this Mother's Day. With chocolates. And a few diamond necklaces. Delivered ahead of time. By someone else.

King Kong
King Kong
I grew up in the projects in Richmond, California. Although Richmond, at present, has a reputation for crime and violence (and there is much more than there should be), in those days, during and after WWII, there was a dignified innocence in being Black, poor and struggling for survival. I was the oldest of four children and the only girl.
The project buildings had been built to house the tidal wave of mostly Black, poor migrants from the South lured by the siren song of jobs and riches offered by the non-stop churning of riveting steel in the ship-yards of WWII. Richmond was one of those teaming industrial port towns. We lived in a two bedroom downstairs unit. Above us lived the handsome Napoleon, his dark skinned beautiful wife, Naomi and their young son, Lester. Week days consisted of walking the three blocks to the Cutting Blvd., arriving just in time to watch the lumbering yellow bus chug to an exhaustive stop to transport our neighborhood children to school. However, Saturdays were special. On Saturday mornings Mom and Dad slept late while the four of us gathered around the radio to be transported to other worlds of fiction and fantasy. I can still hear "plunk your magic twanger, Froggy" and "that's my dog Tide, he lives in a shoe, I'm Buster Brown, I live in there too". A catchy commercial was as important then as now. From fairy tales to super-heroes, they were there waiting for us as our sleepiness was replaced with wide eyed wonder at the sounds that emanated from the mahogany, bullet shaped box, stoking each of our imaginations for a few hours of giggles, shoves and shut-ups on Saturday mornings.
Saturday evenings offered a different kind of entertainment as the sound of music filled the air as doors slammed and voices buzzed with expectation. It was Saturday night and there was always action at Red Robin pool hall and bar, Minnie Lue's bar or sometimes a dance at the Richmond Auditorium for dad and resentfulness for mom. There was definitely a double standard – the men went out on Saturday nights and only certain type of woman was seen regularly in the bars, but everyone went to the dances at the auditorium. There was usually the obligatory fight that Naomi and Napoleon performed for the neighborhood. We kids listened for the yelling to start; followed by the scuffling, then the thud of a body hitting the floor. When the ambulance came and the EMTs brought down the body of a bleeding Napoleon, we would strain to see and ascertain the seriousness of the beat-down that he had taken this time. He went to the hospital; she went to Red Robin. He would miraculously return home at some point (I think he would sneak upstairs upon return) and they would commence to being the loving couple until the next Saturday night. I never knew where Lester was during the Saturday night fights.
Between the radio shows and the fights, Saturday offered another treat for us. If we were good… if we had been obedient, if our father deemed it OK…we could go to the movies…if there was enough money. After all it cost twenty cents per child, plus the cost of popcorn, a soda and a Power House five cent candy bar. The cost was not much by today's standards; however, after the war was over and shipyard lay-offs took effect, money was fugally managed. Dad searched for work, while mom worked at the cannery. She worked with peaches and often came home with the skin peeling from hands, the results of handling the hot fruit.
Although the movie "King Kong" was made in 1933, it was sometime in the early 1950's that it came to our "Uptown Theater". The advertisements were spine-tinkling and breathtaking. " A Monster of Creation's Dawn Breaks Loose in Our World Today!" This movie was the topic of conversation at school and anywhere else that people gathered. We all wanted to see "King Kong". And no one wanted to see it more than my brother Clyde. He was the middle brother. Clyde usually followed the lead of my oldest brother, Earl; however, on this issue, Clyde was his most outspoken self. His eyes sparkled and his lips quivered when the subject was the giant gorilla. Looking back, I believe that Clyde's creative side was intrigued by the thought of seeing on screen this product of Ray Harryhausen's creative genius.
In those days, so unlike children of today, you did not talk back to your parents. It was unheard of in the Black community. So, late one evening, although we had been told there was no money for movies, my brothers and I had conspired and they had convinced me to approach my dad about letting go to see this special movie that everyone, even he, had been talking about. Being the only girl and the oldest, I was my dad's favorite. I got good grades, cooked in my mom's absence, cleaned house and watched after my brothers. It was decided that if anyone could convince my dad to let us go, it would be me.
The four of us approached my dad together (mom was at work). He was searching through his tool box and kept up his search rattling the various tools and I had to lift my voice to be heard over the static sound. "Daddy, can we go to see 'King Kong' this Saturday?" "What you say baby girl?" I said in a louder voice "We've all been good, can we go to the movie and see 'King Kong'?" He looked at the four of us with one eye half closed and his answer was a curt "No". I turned to walk away. Two of my brothers, my oldest and youngest, turned with me. However, Clyde hung back a little, then turned slowly to follow us, but said under his breath, "I want to see "King Kong". That moment froze in time. Everything slowed. Horrified, I turned to see my dad's reaction. I looked at Clyde whose head was lowered in dejection. The overhead light fixture reflected against his bowl haircut's shiny scalp. "What you say boy?" "You want to see 'King Kong?'- all right then get your tail outside and run around this building until you see "King Kong".
Clyde tried a feeble show of defiance and attempted to puff out his chest as he stomped toward the door. The night air was balmy. A full moon glimmered a pale yellow smile at Clyde as the starry blanket blinked in random play twinkling down at skinny eight year old as he ran around the twelve family unit (two levels of six). We were ordered to helplessly watch as he passed the front door four times. As he began his fifth lap, I couldn't stand it anymore. I decided to take a chance on defying my father too. I ran through the kitchen to the back of the house and from my mom and dad's bedroom window I could see from the street light the shadow of a haggard and perspiring Clyde as he approached. I whispered in a frantic voice as loudly as I could "Tell him you see 'King Kong.'" He didn't seem to hear me on that lap; however, on the sixth lap his gait was so slowed, I knew that he heard me as I said -"Tell him, tell him that you see 'King Kong'." As we had been ordered to watch Clyde run, I hurried back to the living room and waited to see Clyde make his admission to Dad. Clyde passed us again going for another lap. Finally on the seventh turn, a sweating, Clyde with his tongue hanging out in exhaustion, probably ten pounds lighter, staggered through the door into the living room and with a dazed look in his eyes he told my dad in a choking voice. "Daddy I saw "King Kong". My dad looked up at Clyde in a dismissive way and with a harrumph, put his tool box away.
It's ironic the things you remember about loved ones. I told that story about Clyde at his Memorial Service last year, October, 2009. He was tragically murdered in his apartment in Richmond. He died in the hospital; however, he had been tied, beaten, and stabbed with a plastic bag over his face and his apartment was set on fire. I've written about his death and how it has affected me. For me writing is cathartic. Writing helps with the healing process. However, the irony is that now the way he died is not what I dream about and think about and feel. Now, I remember the goofy things that happened when we were young.

DURHAM — A team of researchers led by the University of New Hampshire and the University of Maine will conduct a three-year study of the many factors affecting the health of their shared coastal ecosystem.
This collaboration, funded by a $6 million award from the National Science Foundation, aims to strengthen the scientific basis for decision making for the management of recreational beaches and shellfish harvesting.
With the value of coastal recreation estimated at some $20 billion nationally and $400 million in New Hampshire and Maine, coastal closures represent a significant sustainability problem with complex and interacting economic, social and environmental dimensions. As long-term trends indicate worsening coastal pollution, this research will inform choices and provide a promising model for interactions between science and decision-making.
The project, known as the New England SusTainability Consortium (NEST), is managed by the EPSCoR programs at UNH and UMaine in partnership with Great Bay Community College, Plymouth State University, and Keene State College in New Hampshire, and the University of Southern Maine, College of the Atlantic and University of New England in Maine. Citizens interested in participating in the research will have an opportunity to join the New England Stewardship Network which will be developed by UNH Cooperative Extension to connect natural resource organizations, public agencies, scientists, and volunteers.
"This award is both a testament to the terrific work carried out by the talented researchers at New Hampshire's colleges and universities, as well as an important look at our state's coastline and ecosystem," said U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. "New Hampshire's coastline is critical to our economy and the Granite State's natural beauty, and this research will play a key role in efforts to protect these areas for future generations."
Coastal water assessment programs currently use the presence of fecal indicator bacteria and, more recently, pathogenic bacteria as risk assessment tools for managing recreational beaches and shellfish harvesting. However, these methods are poor predictors of risk. A better understanding of how environmental and climatic conditions affect the dynamics of potential pathogens is essential for informing public resource management decisions. For example, water temperature and water runoff from land both influence hazardous bacteria populations, and therefore risk to humans.
NEST will select a number of study sites in each state that differ in ecological and social attributes (e.g., closure frequency, watershed loadings, economic impact of coastal tourism or shellfish harvests). Researchers will investigate how natural processes (e.g. water flow in rivers) and human activities (e.g. land development) in coastal watersheds influence bacterial dynamics. A major focus of the work is to understand how scientific knowledge is used for making resource management decisions, such as decisions to close shellfish beds to harvesting.
"We are very excited about this opportunity to directly link policy and regulatory decisions around beach and shellfish bed closings with data in collaboration with our colleagues at the University of Maine," said Jan Nisbet, senior vice provost for research at UNH and NH EPSCoR state director. "We also need to better understand the response of the community and the impact on the Maine and New Hampshire economies when beaches and shellfish beds are closed. This grant will allow us to make this important connection as well as better understand the coastal ecosystems under stress from weather events such as excessive rainfall and polluted storm water runoff."
There is widespread agreement among resource managers and scientists in both states that current beach and shellfish management approaches are flawed; sustainability science research methods offer a means to address these flaws. NEST will use a collaborative process in which resource managers participate in defining problems, identifying research needs, interpreting results and designing solutions.

The NFL likes to heavily promote the opening game of the regular season in every possible arena, including banners on the streets around the host city.
That's Denver this year and there's a little agitation in the city about the fact that some of the banners flying overhead feature Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco rather than a member of the home team. Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post spoke to several Denver residents about the banners and got responses like "stupid," "disrespectful" and "royally ticked off" when he asked them what they thought about the banners. Vic Lombardi of CBS4 in Denver went a step further, posting videos of himself defacing one of the posters.
One of the banners is on the exterior of Sports Authority Field, which has led to a Change.org petition from Broncos fans to have it removed. And it also got a response from Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
"It doesn't seem like it makes sense that the Denver Broncos have to have an opposing player on their stadium," Manning said, during an appearance on 850 KOA.
It makes plenty of sense to the NFL's marketing arm, which builds the opening game into as big an event as possible with pregame festivities and concerts that normally are associated with playoff or championship games. They aren't going to stop promoting the game, so Denver is probably going to have to learn to live with Flacco's image a little bit longer.

Over the course of a 23-season career filled with milestones that other ballplayers only dream about, Henry Aaron retired as a first-ballot Hall of Famer and, most famously, as the all-time major-league home run king. Today, for most fans, he's still the all-time home run king — Barry Bonds' thoroughly tainted 762 round-trippers notwithstanding. So many other numbers that Aaron put up over the course of his career, meanwhile, cement his reputation as one of the very greatest ballplayers who ever lived.
[Check out the cool, old-school multiple exposure shot of Aaron's hair-raising 715th, hit off of Al Downing in Atlanta on April 8, 1974, at the bottom of this post — a joint effort by LIFE photographers Ralph Morse and Henry Groskinsky.]
To cite just a few of his eye-popping stats: Aaron was a 25-time All Star (from 1959-1962, he played in both of the All-Star games held each summer back then) and a .305 lifetime hitter. He hit 755 home runs, of course; had more than 3,700 hits, including a major-league record 1,477 for extra bases; drove in 2,297 runs (another record); won a World Series ring; won a couple of batting titles; and, perhaps most incredibly, he still holds the major-league record of 17 consecutive seasons with 150 or more hits.
Take a moment to digest that: 17 years in a row with 150 or more hits. Anyone who knows anything about baseball knows that it's hard to get 150 hits in one season. To hit 150 or more, year after year for almost two decades, while routinely launching 30 or more home runs every year, speaks to a talent, a competitive drive and a consistency that borders on the superhuman.
Henry Aaron spoke with LIFE.com about some of the players — teammates as well as rivals — who made his playing days so satisfying, and so much fun, for so many years. Now 80 years old (he was born Feb. 5, 1934, in Mobile, Ala.), he is both gracious and insightful in his praise of his old friends and foes — a man of quiet, unmistakable dignity.
Thanks for the memories, Mr. Aaron. Thanks for everything.
— Ben Cosgrove is the Editor of LIFE.com

what it is
Rhod-3 AM dye (supplied in the Rhod-3 AM Imaging Kit) offers significant improvements over existing Ca 2+-sensing dyes. Its uptake into organelles is reduced, which translates to better cytosolic localization. Also Rhod-3 AM exhibits a large increase in fluorescence emission upon binding to calcium, making it more sensitive than other red-fluorescent calcium dyes. The novel Rhod-3 AM Imaging Kit is designed for live-cell imaging of cytosolic calcium signaling in combination with green fluorescent dyes or proteins. Red-shifted calcium dyes are also applicable where CFP/YFP are used as FRET-based biosensors.
how it works
The dye in the Rhod-3 AM Imaging Kit is a rhodamine derivative attached to a calcium chelator, and is supplied as an AM ester to facilitate entry into cells. Once inside the cell, intracellular esterases cleave the AM group, trapping the dye in the cell and rendering the dye fluorescent. As calcium binds, the fluorescence intensity of the dye is enhanced. The spectral properties of Rhod-3 AM (ex/em = ~560/600 nm) and strong fluorescence upon calcium binding gives an excellent signal window and makes it our brightest red calcium dye.
what it offers
- narrow emission enables simultaneous detection with GFP or other dyes
- compared to existing red calcium dyes, Rhod-3 AM exhibits a significantly higher increase in fluorescence upon calcium binding
- enhanced cytosolic localization for better detection of cytosolic transients
|Excitation and emission peaks of Rhod-3 AM (panel A). The new red-shifted calcium dye, Rhod-3 AM, is the preferred choice for multiplexing with GFP (panels BI and BII). Rhod-3 AM can also be imaged simultaneously with other green fluorophores. Panel C shows HeLa cells that have been co-loaded with Rhod-3 AM (10 µM) and mag-fluo-4 AM (5 µM) for simultaneous monitoring of cytosolic and intra-ER calcium (for detailed methods see Park et al. 2000 EMBO J 19:5729–5739).
ELISA Kits for p27 and p21 proteins
what they are
Invitrogen is now offering two new assay kits to measure p27 Kip1 and p21 Waf1/Cip1 protein levels in cell lysates. As cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, both proteins are negative cell cycle regulators that play an important role in tumor suppression. Cell division relies on the activation of cyclins, which bind to CDKs to induce cell cycle progression towards S phase and later to initiate mitosis. Uncontrolled CDK activity is often the cause of human cancer; CDK function is tightly regulated by cell cycle inhibitors such as p21 Waf1/Cip1 and p27 Kip1 proteins. Following anti-mitogenic signals or DNA damage, p21 Waf1/Cip1 and p27 Kip1 bind to cyclin–CDK complexes to inhibit their catalytic activity and induce cell cycle arrest.
how they work
The ELISA kit method offers a simple and unbiased way to quantify specific proteins. The Invitrogen ELISA kit employs a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); antibodies are coated to the bottom of a 96-well plate (immobilized); the sample is added to the well, and the immobilized antibody binds to the protein antigen. Nonspecifically bound proteins are washed away. A detector antibody is then added, followed by a secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Finally a chromogenic substrate is added that reacts with HRP to produce color, the intensity of which is directly proportional to the concentration of the protein present. A stop solution is added to terminate the color reaction, and the intensity is measured using a plate reader. Invitrogen ELISA kits come ready-to-use with all the necessary reagents including calibrated standards.
what they offer
- sensitive—use a small sample volume
- specific—measure the protein you're interested in
- fast—4 hours to complete
- minimal variation—consistent lot-to-lot performance
|Figure 1—Natural p27 Kip1 from serum-starved MCF-7 cell lysate was serially diluted in Standard Diluent Buffer (provided with the kit). The parallelism demonstrated between the standard and MCF-7 lysate indicates that the standard accurately reflects p27 Kip1 content in samples.
|Figure 2—Apicidin treatment (2 µg/ml for 24 hours) increases p21 Waf1/Cip1 expression level in MCF-7 cells. Untreated MCF-7 cells were used as control. Cell extracts were prepared and cell lysates (200 mg/ml) were analyzed with p21 Waf1/Cip1 ELISA Kit (Cat. no. KHO5421).

Akt Pathway Phospho 7-Plex Panel and the Luminex® 200™ detection system
what it is
The insulin receptor IR/IGF-1R–Akt signaling pathway is crucial for regulating cell survival, proliferation, and a number of insulin metabolic effects. Perturbations in this pathway are suspected as key indicators (and perhaps root causes) of diseases such as cancer and diabetes. A method to simultaneously measure the activity of these proteins (IR [pYpY1162/1163], IGF-1R [pYpY1135/1136], IRS-1 [pS312], Akt [pS473], GSK-3β [pS9], PRAS40 [pT246], p70S6K [pTpS421/424]) will significantly expedite drug discovery efforts that target this pathway. Invitrogen has developed the Akt Phospho 7-Plex Panel (LHO0001) and now offers the Luminex® 200™ detection system with xPONENT® software to meet this need.
how it works
The Akt Phospho 7-Plex Panel is a multiplex bead immunoassay designed to determine the phosphorylation state of seven proteins in the IR/IGF-1R–Akt signaling pathway: IR [pYpY1162/1163], IGF-1R [pYpY1135/1136], IRS-1 [pS312], Akt [pS473], GSK-3β [pS9], PRAS40 [pT246], and p70S6K [pTpS421/424]. The assay is a solid-phase sandwich immunoassay that is designed to be analyzed using the Luminex® 100™ or 200™ instrument. The spectral properties of 100 distinct bead regions can be monitored with the Luminex® 100™ or 200™ instrument, a capability that affords this assay system the potential for measuring up to 100 different analytes in a single sample. Beads of defined spectral properties conjugated to analyte-specific capture antibodies and samples (including standards of known analyte concentration, control specimens, and unknowns) along with Detector Antibody are pipetted into the wells of a filter-bottom microplate and incubated for 3 hours. During this first incubation, analytes bind simultaneously to the immobilized (capture) antibodies and to the solution-phase rabbit polyclonal (detector) antibodies. After washing, an anti–rabbit R Phycoerythrin (R-PE)– conjugated secondary antibody is added for 30 minutes. During this final incubation, the anti–rabbit R-PE binds to the detector antibodies associated with the immune complexes on the beads, forming four-member, solid-phase sandwiches. After washing to remove unbound anti–rabbit R-PE, the beads are analyzed with the Luminex® 100™ or 200™ instrument. By monitoring the spectral properties of the beads and the amount of associated R-PE fluorescence, the concentration of the seven analytes can be determined.

Phosphorylation site–specific antibodies for platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)
what they are
Invitrogen offers monospecific reagents for studying the phosphorylation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and new additions cover both alpha and beta isoforms.
how they work
Phosphorylation is a common mechanism for activation and deactivation of proteins in cell signaling cascades. Phosphorylation site–specific antibodies (PSSA) that are monospecific for the phosphorylation state of a particular tyrosine, serine, or threonine residue on the target protein are critical for elucidating these signaling pathways. Invitrogen offers antibodies against all isoforms of PDGFR to monitor protein expression and regulatory phosphorylation of primary activation sites.
|Up-regulation and antibody-peptide competition
Extracts of NIH3T3 cells unstimulated (1) and stimulated with 50 ng/ml PDGF for 10 minutes (2–5) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF. The membrane was blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4°C, then incubated with the PDGFRα [pY754] antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 1% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 2), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (3), a generic phosphotyrosine-containing peptide (4), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (5). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F(ab´)2 anti–rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase (Cat. no. ALI4405) and signals were detected using the Tropix WesternStar™ method. The data show that only the phosphopeptide corresponding to PDGFRα [pY754] blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. The data also show the induction of PDGFRα [pY754] phosphorylation by the addition of PDGF in this cell system.
what it offers
- validated reagents with multiple applications and species specificities
- wide range of targets and modification sites
- all phosphorylation site-specificities are verified with peptide competition

Endothelial cilia are fluid shear sensors that regulate calcium signaling and nitric oxide production through polycystin-1.
Nauli, S.M. et al. (2008) Circulation 117: 1161–1171.
How do vascular endothelial cells sense shear stress? Significant evidence exists to suggest that physiologic fluid shear stress offers beneficial effects in vivo. For example, vascular regions with steady laminar flow are generally protected from atherosclerosis, and shear stress has been shown to upregulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factors in osteoblasts. Vascular endothelia are known to release nitric oxide—a potent vasodilator—in response to fluid shear, but the specific mechanosensory apparatus that mediates this response is unknown. In their present study, Nauli and colleagues investigated the role of primary cilia in the activation of shear stress–related physiological response in vascular endothelia. Immunofluorescence staining identified the proteins polycystin-1 and polaris—known components of primary cilia—in aorta of embryonic mice. Cells were observed to respond to applied shear stress by transiently releasing intracellular calcium and nitric oxide; mutant cells defective in cilia structure/function showed no response to shear stress. Prolonged shear stress led to polycystin-1 cleavage in wild-type cells, accompanied by the loss of the shear stress response. In an effort to further elucidate the roles of polycystin-1 and polaris in the shear stress response, cells were subjected to other physical/chemical stimuli, namely apical membrane distortion and exposure to acetylcholine. Both wild-type and mutant cell types showed similar responses to these stimuli despite their different shear stress responses, indicating a role for native polycystin-1 and polaris proteins that is specific to the shear stress signaling mechanism.View bibliography reference

Validation of novel tools that detect the elusive O-GlcNAc
The O-GlcNAc (O-linked β-N-acetylglucoasamine) modification is an abundant, highly dynamic, intracellular regulatory modification found in all eukaryotic cells; like phosphorylation, O-GlcNAc modification plays a key role in signaling pathways. Until recently, the O-GlcNAc modification presented several formidable challenges for detection. First, O-GlcNAc is very small, uncharged molecule, so O-GlcNAc-modified proteins do not migrate any differently from unmodified ones. Additionally, being present at very low levels, it is often beyond the detection limits of antibody- and lectin-based detection methods. Finally, O-GlcNAc is very labile; even with mass spectrometry, the molecule simply goes undetected. Clark et al. recently reported on an advanced chemoenzymatic labeling strategy based upon click chemistry that overcomes the limitations of these existing techniques and enables detection of the dynamic O-GlcNAc at unprecedented levels (Clark PM et al., (2008) Direct in-gel fluorescence detection and cellular imaging of O-GlcNAc-modified proteins. JACS (web release date August 7, 2008)). The authors initially tested the technique on α-crystallin (a known O-GlcNAc modified protein with a low extent (~10%) of glycoslyation) and detected femtomole levels with the new chemoselective approach (compared to conventional antibody and lectin techniques, by which only microgram levels were detectable). The new method was then applied to nuclear and cytosolic protein fractions from rat forebrain, and a total of 213 proteins, representing 67 known and 146 novel O-GlcNAc proteins, were identified. Besides detecting O-GlcNAc proteins directly in gels (which streamlines proteomic analyses), the authors also demonstrated the how this near-quantitative, simple, and robust two-step chemoenzymatic method can be applied to image O-GlcNAc proteins in cells and tissues.

10 Ways To Get Rid of Constipation
Everyone experiences a bout of constipation now and then. If you have constipation more than occasionally or have severe pain or bleeding, you should definitely see your doctor — these are possible signs of serious digestive disorders. But often constipations is simply the result of consuming too little fiber, and adding more fiber to your diet is the simple remedy. The average adult needs between 25 and 30 grams of fiber a day to ward off constipation, far less than most of us typically eat. But to avoid bloating and cramping, Add more fiber-filled foods to your diet gradually, and be sure to drink plenty of fluids to help the fiber flow properly through your digestive tract.
Pick Berries for a Sweet Treat:
For a sweet constipation remedy, take your pick of raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. All are examples of fruits that have a good amount of fiber. A half-cup of fresh strawberries provides 2 grams of fiber while the same size serving of blackberries will provide 3.8 grams and raspberries 4 grams. Berries also are low in calories, so you can eat a big bowl of plain berries with low-fat
Yogurt or toss them on your breakfast cereal, or mix them in pancakes.
Pop Up Some Air-Popped Popcorn:
Popcorn is a great low-calorie way to get more fiber in your diet, especially if a lack of fiber is your constipation cause. However, if you load on the salt and butter, you could undo some of its benefits. Go for air-popped or a healthy variety of microwave popcorn or go on regular popcorn with minimal amount of oil and salt .Popcorn is a whole grain , and increasing the whole-grains in your diet is an effective constipation remedy.
Try Beans for a Big Fiber Boost:
Cup for cup, beans can provide twice as much fiber as most vegetables, and making them a regular part of your healthy diet will help ward off constipation. A half-cup serving of navy beans will provide 9.5 grams of fiber, while a similar size serving of kidney beans provides 8.2 grams. Lima beans, and pinto have a little less, but still pack a 6-plus grams of fiber per half-cup. Beans are incredibly flexible and can be tossed into any number of salads, soups and pasta.
Snack on Healthy Dried Fruit:
Dried fruits, such as dates, figs, prunes, apricots, and raisins, are another great source of dietary fiber that acts as a constipation remedy. "Prunes, in particular, are great because they not only are high in fiber, but also contain sorbitol, which is a natural laxative. Like fiber, sorbitol is a type of carbohydrate and has a molecular structure similar to sugar. Fiber isn't digested and so it retains water as it passes through your gut. The water softens your stool, helping to relieve constipation.
Switch to Whole-Grain Bread:
Whether for sandwiches or with a meal, the bread you eat should be made from whole grains to help keep constipation away. Whole-grain breads are low in fat and high in dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates . Check the label before buying: The first ingredient should say "whole" before the grain, such as "whole-wheat flour."
Start Your Day With a High-Fiber Cereal:
. Choose a cereal that has at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. If your favorite cereal doesn't have a lot of fiber, add your own: Sprinkle a few tablespoons of wheat bran or flaxseed on top. If lack of fiber is a constipation cause for you, starting the day with a bowl of high-fiber cereal is a smart move.
Bring On the Broccoli:
Like beans, broccoli is a superstar source of fiber. Broccoli is also a great source of nutrients while still being low in calories. It's best to eat vegetables raw because cooking them can reduce their fiber content, but if you prefer your broccoli cooked, the healthiest methods for most vegetables are steaming, broiling, and baking. Before serving, toss with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Go Raw With Plums, Pears, and Apples:
Constipation can cause you to feel bloated .Eating more raw fruit can be a constipation remedy because fruit, too, is high in dietary fiber. Plums, pears, and apples are good choices because much of the fiber can be found in their edible skins. Plums, pears, and apples also are high in pectin, a naturally occurring fiber. A small raw pear with skin has 4.4 grams of fiber, while a medium apple with skin provides 3.3 grams of fiber.
Surround Yourself With Nuts:
Yet another powerhouse when it comes to fiber are nuts. Among the best are Brazil nuts, peanuts, and walnuts. A 1-ounce serving of almonds provides 3.3 grams of fiber, while a similar size serving of pistachios will provide 2.9 grams of fiber, and pecans 2.7 grams. However, nuts come with a caution: Watch how many you eat because nuts are calorie-dense. Have a handful of nuts daily .
Get the Skinny on Baked Potatoes:
One medium baked potato with the skin on will provide 3.8 grams of fiber in your fight against constipation. Even better is a baked sweet potato with its skin — it provides 4.8 grams of fiber. Boiling and mashing potatoes — with skins — is another good way to serve them, but skip the French fries as they are high in fat. You can cut potatoes in the shape of fries, spray them with a little olive oil, sprinkle with your favorite seasonings, and bake in the oven until crisp — they'll taste like French fries without the added calories .

Brighten up your space with Vanessa's happy little Tea Party Tuffets. Make them simple with just yardage or add a little patchwork fun with charm packs. There are so many lovely possibilities!
*Fabric is "Marmalade" by Bonnie & Camille
- 1 charm pack or 3/4 yard fabric for Tuffet-Top
- 3/4 yard fabric for Tuffet-Bottom
- 3/4 yard fabric for Tuffet-Side
- 1 Tea Party Tuffet PDF pattern {see Printer Friendly file at bottom of post}
- 6 lbs polyester fiberfill
- 4-1/2 yards decorative trim or piping
- 4 yards HeatnBond non-woven fusible feather weight interfacing (20″ wide)
*Print out all pages of the Tea Party Tuffet PDF pattern. Be sure to print at 100% scale on regular 8.5 x 11″ paper and assemble according to pattern instructions.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be small gaps in the pattern circle shape where the pages are taped together–this is okay! Do not trim or overlap the pages in an attempt to connect the lines.
Once all pages are taped together, cut out the pattern.
Tuffet-Top: Use the pattern to cut one circle from the tuffet-top fabric. If using a charm pack instead of yardage, refer to the Patchwork Tuffet-Top instructions.
Tuffet-Bottom: Use the pattern to cut one circle from the tuffet-bottom fabric.
Patchwork Tuffet-Top: You will need 36 of the 42 charm squares; organize them into six rows with six charm squares per row.
Assuming 1/4″ seam allowance, sew the charm squares into their rows, pressing open the seams afterwards. Sew the rows together, lining up the seams and pinning in place beforehand. Press those seams open as well.
Center the pattern and cut out one circle for your tuffet-top.
INTERFACING OPTION: At this point, I like to iron a feather weight fusible interfacing to the back of each tuffet-top and tuffet-bottom piece. It makes the fabric feel a bit stiffer and gives an overall stability to the shape of the finished product that I really love! Not a requirement though.
EMBELLISHMENT OPTION: Another option is to embellish your tuffet-top and tuffet-bottom pieces with some sort of trim. I'll use pom-pom trim to demonstrate, but there are many trim options you could use!
In all likelihood, you will need to use a zipper foot to stitch your trim in place. In general, you'll want the seam allowance to be about 1/2″. Because the pom-pom trim is so skinny, I'm going to lay it down 1/4″ in from the raw edge of the fabric, pom-poms on the inside.
Whatever trim you use, I sometimes find it helpful to remember that everything left of the needle/stitching is what is going to show.
Once you've sewn almost all the way around, cut the end of the trim to overlap with the beginning-piece and resume stitching it down.
TUFFET SIDE: From the tuffet-side fabric, cut two strips 12″ x WOF; subcut into two 12 x 37″ strips. (Iron fusible interfacing to the back of each if you've done it to the tuffet-top and tuffet-bottom pieces.)
To sew them into a tube: bring the 12 x 37″ strips right sides together, aligning the raw edges, and pin along the 12″ sides.
[Switch to a regular presser foot and] sew down the 12″ sides using 1/2″ seam allowance, leaving a 6-7″ gap unstitched in the center of one of those sides as indicated by the diagram below. (This is how we will turn our tuffet right-side out later).
Press open the seams. (Here is the side with the gap.)
Pin the tuffet-bottom to the other side of the tube, right sides together and repeat.
Turn the tuffet right-side out through the 6-7″ gap in the side.
Your tuffet will look quite sad and saggy without stuffing, so fill it! I stuffed mine pretty full so it would be nice and sturdy.
Once it's full to your liking, fold the edges in at the hole and pin closed. (This is probably the toughest part of the whole project!) Stitch the hole closed by hand (I recommend a ladder stitch).
An adorable tuffet!
Vanessa Goertzen
