In Name Origins
Who is Irene Freund?
The younger of two children, Irene was born to Jewish parents in the industrial city of Mannheim. Her father, a wounded German army veteran of World War I, was an interior dec…orator. Her mother was a housewife. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Irene's older brother, Berthold, was attending public school. Three-year-old Irene was at home with her mother.. 1933-39: Celebrating Jewish holidays with all my aunts and uncles was really nice. One of my favorite places was the zoo; I especially liked the monkeys. When the Nazis forced Jewish children out of public school, I began attending a Jewish school. I was "a daddy's girl," and my father would take me home from school on his bike. After the Nazis burned our school, my older brother left for safety in Britain--I was too young to go with him.. Major camps in France, Gurs indicated See maps . 1940-44: In 1940, when I was 10, our family was sent to Gurs and then Rivesaltes, terrible camps in southern France. The food was awful. The Jewish Children's Aid Society took me away and placed me in a Catholic convent along with 13 other Jewish girls. I became Irene Fanchet and studied under Sister Theresa. One day, the SS came to our convent looking for hidden German-Jewish children. One of our girls, who was fluent in French, did the talking for us. It worked. The Germans left, and we were safe.. Thirteen-year-old Irene was freed by Allied troops in July 1944. After being transferred to several children's homes in France, she emigrated to the United States in 1947. ( Full Answer )

Battle over controversial Redskins name comes to Dallas
WASHINGTON - It's not just a good old West rivalry anymore.
The symbolism of a Dallas Cowboys-vs.-Washington Redskins football game Sunday couldn't come at a worse time for the capital's embattled National Football League team owner, Daniel Snyder.
The Redskins team name is under fire as never before for being a racial slur, as critics, from President Barack Obama to Native American groups to prominent sportswriters, decry the use of what many view an offensive term for the franchise.
"This is not going to go away," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida Indian Nation representative, said in an interview. "The momentum is building. We're at a tipping point."
The Oneida Nation, a tribe in upstate New York, is at the forefront of the protests with a "Change the Mascot" campaign that sponsors radio ads about the name in every city that the Redskins play. It is airing one this week on Dallas-Fort Worth's KRLD-FM called "Bipartisan" for the bipartisan opposition to the name, citing critical comments from Obama and Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who has Native American heritage.
An increasing number of sportswriters refuse to write or say the name, preferring neutral terms like "Washington NFL team." Sports Illustrated writer Peter King and USA Today writer Christine Brennan, who covered the team for The Washington Post in the 1980s, recently announced they won't use it.
The Kansas City Star, a McClatchy newspaper, has not used the name for a decade.
"The term is patently offensive and insulting to some percentage of Native Americans," said Jeff Rosen, the Star's associate managing editor-sports. "That alone was enough for us to stop using it."
Washington Post sports columnist Mike Wise, a relentless opponent of the name for years, wrote Monday, "It's not a matter of 'if' anymore, but rather 'when.'"
It was Obama speaking out Oct. 5 in an interview with The Associated Press that inflamed the already simmering issue.
"I've got to say, if I were the owner of the team and I knew that the name of my team, even if they've had a storied history, that was offending a sizable group of people, I'd think about changing it," the president said.
Snyder, who had famously told USA Today in May that he would never change the name, "never—you can use all caps," took four days to react to the president. On Oct. 9 he issued a letter to the team's fans that was more conciliatory to the critics but didn't actually budge from his position.
"I respect the opinions of those who disagree," he wrote. "I want them to know that I do hear them, and I will continue to listen and learn. But we cannot ignore our 81-year history, or the strong feelings of most of our fans as well as Native Americans throughout the country. After 81 years, the team name "Redskins" continues to hold the memories and meaning of where we came from, who we are, and who we want to be in the years to come."
Snyder is increasingly isolated, however, as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has to field questions about the controversy, often from very opinionated sportswriters like Wise, who says the financial pressure from sponsors will be next.
Goodell and NFL officials had already planned a meeting Nov. 22 with the Oneida Nation to learn more about Native Americans' concerns, but that is now "hopefully" being moved up, said Halbritter.
At an NFL team owners' meeting Monday in Washington, Goodell and league owners, including Jerry Jones of the Cowboys, faced questions about the controversy. Even the Cowboys and Redskins coaches were asked about the name at press conferences leading up to Sunday's nationally televised game, events usually limited to discussions about game strategy and player updates.
Jones talked about it earlier this week on his radio show on KRLD-FM: "All team names have always been a positive attempt at the namesake. The intent is very positive. I'm very sensitive and we should always listen to those that feel that you're being insensitive."
In his letter to the fans, Snyder quoted from a 2004 poll of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, which found that 90 percent of nearly 800 people who identified themselves as Native Americans did not find the team name "offensive."
But Halbritter and others reject the idea that a poll stands in the way of how they feel. "Our people are offended," he said. "It hurts people."
In a response to Snyder, he wrote, "The marketing of this racial slur has had—and continues to have—very serious cultural, political and public health consequences for my people and Native Americans everywhere."
Halbritter also said that, as for the team's storied history, the original team owner, George Preston Marshall, advocated segregation and that the Redskins were the last NFL team to integrate, in 1962.
The name is also the subject of a trademark violation lawsuit by a group of Native Americans. A ruling is pending from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office over the name being offensive and a racial slur.
But with Snyder's promise to keep listening, Oneida's Halbritter said he has invited the team owner to come to the reservation.
"During his visit, we will organize a special meeting of Oneida Nation families where Mr. Snyder can personally explain to them why he believes they deserve to be called 'redskins,'" he said.


text: Leeds - Proteas batsman Jacques Rudolph says batsmen can prosper at Headingley, where the second Test against England starts on Thursday.Rudolph, who spent five years playing for Yorkshire, whose headquarters are at the ground, said on Tuesday: "There is a very strong perception that Headingley is more of a bowler's wicket but in my experience when the sun is out it is a very nice place to bat."With rain and showers predicted during the Test, Rudolph said overhead conditions could play a "massive role" and influence the decision of the captain who wins the toss."But once you get used to the swing and a little bit of seam movement you can get yourself in ... you can go big."Rudolph said the South Africans expected England to bounce back after losing by an innings and 12 runs in the first Test at the Oval, a match in which the England bowlers took only two wickets in the only South African innings."England are the No 1 team in the world and we expect a strong fightback from them," said Rudolph."They've done really well in their own conditions in the last couple of series they have played over here. We are prepared for what we are going to face on Thursday."Rudolph said South Africa would take confidence from having won their last two Tests against England at Headingley, with several of the current squad having been involved in the games.Rudolph said he had matured as a person and a batsman during his stint with Yorkshire.He said he had considered a permanent move to England before family ties drew him back to South Africa, where good form in domestic cricket earned him a return to the international scene last November after five years out of the Test team.

About This Project
"150 Years Ago this Week in the Civil War" is a project of the Periodicals Department of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. Drawing from its collection of historical newspapers from around the State of Maryland, the Periodicals Department will post one 150 year-old newspaper article every week for the four year duration of the anniversary of the Civil War. These articles will capture the political and daily life struggles that Marylanders faced as their cities, towns, and fields became battlefields in the difficult conflict that divided the Nation. Over time, the collected articles will provide a valuable resource for students of the conflict in secondary schools throughout the state.
Permission to reproduce or publish images and scanned news articles on this website is required and may be subject to copyright and other legal restrictions imposed by parties outside of the Library. The Enoch Pratt Free Library is not responsible for the outside use of these images and news articles but is committed to the responsible and legal use of any content posted on its web site.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady didn't seem too concerned on Monday about Texans defensive lineman Antonio Smith's "spying" charges in the wake of New England's 34-31 victory over the Texans on Sunday.
"I don't really think much of it, truthfully," Brady said of Smith's comments on his weekly radio show on WEEI in Boston. "I just kind of have moved on."
"Execution is the name of the game. We did a good job there in the second half," Brady said.
Trailing 17-7 at halftime, Brady completed 18 of 23 passes for 263 yards in the second half and directed five scoring drives, including three touchdowns, to help the Patriots rally for the win.
After the game, Smith said, "Either teams are spying on us or scouting us . . . I don't know what it is."
Smith said it was "miraculous" that the Patriots were able to adapt their offense around what he said was a unique Texans' game plan. But Brady dismissed that.
"They definitely did some different things than we were expecting, but nothing that really blew our mind," he said.
As for Patriots coach Bill Belichick, he was his normally open self on matters in his meeting with the Boston media.
"Yeah, I saw them," Belichick told the Boston Globe in regard to the comments. "I don't have any comment on them. That's a league matter."

|Has your Pierce genealogy research hit a brick wall? Has the paper trail found in courthouse basements lead to a dead end? If so, you may wish to take advantage of today's cutting edge DNA technology to jump start your research.
Project Background
The Pierce DNA North project is limited to Pierces with ancestors from northern U.S. states or the British Isles. All variant spellings of the Pierce surname may join including:
Pearce, Peirce, Pearse, Pierse, and Percy
Participation in the Pierce DNA North project is simple. Please use this "Join" link and complete a "Pierce Project Join Request."
After the request is received, participants will be sent a form to join this group and complete an order for one of the following tests: the YDNA-12 marker test ($59), the YDNA-25 marker test ($109), the YDNA-37 marker test ($149), or the YDNA-67 marker test ($248). Participants are encouraged to select at least the YDNA-25 marker test because the results are more helpful in identifying matches with other participants.
For any interested new British Isles participant, this project is currently offering to pay for a 37 marker test.
Participants must be male Pierces because the genetic information tested (on the Y chromosome) is passed along the male line from father to son. If you are a Pierce, but are female, you will need to recruit a male Pierce relative-- perhaps a cousin, father, brother, or uncle to participate.
The tests are done by Family Tree DNA located in Houston, TX. Family Tree DNA's website has a wealth of information about the use of DNA analysis in genealogy. For additional information, please see their Frequently Asked Questions page.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to use our Contact Us form to email the group administrator.

Annual Report 2008
In an economic climate in which businesses are "going back to basics" and retrenching, Oxfam America finds itself in a unique position. We're optimistic. Those of us in the relief and development business know that good times are often followed by bad, rainy seasons by drought, peace by war. It's fair to say that we adapt readily in crises.
These are difficult times, but we have a vision of what's possible. During the past several years, we've been scaling up. We continue to invest in individual projects—drilling wells, planting mangroves—but increasingly we weigh the value of our efforts in terms of how they contribute to long-term systemic changes.
On the following pages, we offer you the opportunity to look at a handful of our individual projects and the people behind them, because talking in the abstract about scale can't capture what makes us optimistic in these troubled times. And that is? Potential—the potential of millions of poor men and women to overcome poverty and our own potential to foster sweeping change over the long haul.

Like stockbrokers tracking tickers on the Big Board, train travelers up and down the East Coast share a common ritual: standing, bags at our feet, under massive signs displaying departures, peering up until our number is called. And then we shuffle — quickly — to the appropriate platform, bound for Washington or New York or even Richmond, Virginia. In the old days, the train signs made a mechanical noise as the cities, tracks, and times changed. Just like brake lights on the car ahead of us alert our brains to stop, the sound of the flipping digits told our brains to pay attention, and then to hustle.
Alas, the old-fashioned boards at North and South stations in Boston were replaced by electronic signs, but they still can click, thanks to computer-generated recordings. If you want the real thing, though, you can get it at the much smaller rail station at Route 128 in Westwood, where the sign (above) makes a click-click-click as it cycles through the day. The difference is that, here, with just two tracks, there's little mystery to where your train will be.Scott Helman is a Globe Magazine staff writer.

Inter-county pursuit ends with car aflame
A car chase that started in Hardin County, ended on Interstate 10 around Beaumont when the vehicle lost control, crashed and caught fire.
According to information from law enforcement, suspects Christopher Perez, 25; Brandon Clay, 22; Joseph Akens, 22; and Jacorri Collins, 21, were suspected of stealing computers from the Walmart in Silsbee early Thursday morning. This led to a chase from Hardin County into Jefferson County, with law enforcement from several agencies taking part in the pursuit.
Several attempts to spike the tires of the suspect vehicle were unsuccessful, as were the shots fired at the vehicle. A Beaumont patrol car rammed the suspect car, and the vehicle lost control, striking an emergency vehicle only sign before coming to a rest in the median near mile marker 836 on Interstate 10. The car burst into flames and the four black males were taken into custody. Two of the men were transported to a local hospital where they were treated and released into police custody.
All four suspects have been taken to Hardin County Jail.

Group Sees Progress in Effort to Cut Infant Deaths
PIERRE - A South Dakota task force reports that progress has been made in carrying out a program aimed at reducing the number of infants who die each year.
First lady Linda Daugaard, who chaired the task force, says it will take a sustained effort over time to reduce South Dakota's infant mortality rate. But she says members of the task force are committed to programs that will reduce that mortality rate.
The first annual report issued by the task force says progress has been made in promoting safe sleep practices for infants and making sure pregnant women get medical care.
About 80 South Dakota infants die each year before their first birthdays. The state's infant mortality rate is higher than the national rate and higher than in some neighboring states.

Fred's Mill: June 29, 2013 18:26 : News, Tools
There's a new tool hanging out at the lab these days, thanks to VCL's new best friend Fred.
Here's his description of the new beast.
I think this particular mill will be perfect for your workshop as it's probably the most common home shop mill you can find in NA, it has mods galore, and it easily behaves like a traditional drill, but with much higher precision. The vise I added makes it a great "prototype" tool because you can set up and secure small parts quickly.
This model is pretty much the one all other plants work from. Various Chinese and Taiwanese plants will clone it to varying levels of quality. The one I bought is a clone, but that was actually made to higher standards than the rong-fu and has a widest x axis table.
It's has 23 inches of x- travel, which allowed me to place an entire 19″ rack mount audio gear panel and machine it.
You should check out this guy's page, he has some awesome information on this mill.
his is called a zx-45, but as you'll see it's identical to the one on your floor.

That's a good reason to use it. The fundamental problem is that supporting both ANY_TAG and ANY_SENDER efficiently is really annoying. So most implementers would prefer to support ANY_TAG efficiently and ANY_SENDER less efficiently. And then those pesky users (life is much simpler when you only run benchmarks that you write yourself, you know ;-) go use ANY_SENDER, usually because they think it's faster when say 4 nodes are sending you something at roughly the same time. Instead, we'd prefer that they use Irecv for that. -- greg

Traders blamed the move on a confluence of factors, including disappointment that the company appears to not be planning a special dividend before the end of the year and media reports that margin requirements are being raised by certain firms (potentially causing margin calls). The company is America's largest by market capitalization and has an outsize pull on the broader markets.
Mixed Data
The ADP National Employment report showed the private sector added 118,000 jobs in November, missing expectations of 125,000 jobs created. Digging into the report, large businesses led the hiring with 66,000 jobs, followed by medium businesses at 33,000 jobs at small businesses at 19,000.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, which collaborates on the report, said in a conference call "several crosscurrents" impacted the reading. In particular, he reckons Hurricane Sandy cut 86,000 jobs for the overall reading. He said manufacturing and small businesses were impacted especially severely by the superstorm. Also, the early timing of Thanksgiving added between 60,000 and 70,000 jobs that Zandi expects will come out of the December numbers.
This report comes out ahead of the all-important monthly jobs report from the Labor Department. Overall, economists expect the economy to have tacked on 93,000 jobs in November, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 7.9%.
The Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing PMI increased to 54.7 in November from 54.2 in October, compared to expectations of a drop to 53.5. That indicates the services sector expanded at a slightly faster pace that month. A separate report from the Commerce Department showed factory orders climbing 0.8% in October from September, better than forecasts of no change.
On the corporate front, Citigroup (NYSE:C) said it will slash 11,000 jobs and take a $1 billion fourth-quarter charge as part of a 'repositioning.' This comes at the banking giant looks to lean out its operations amid a new financial landscape.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (NYSE:FCX) announced it will acquire Plains Exploration & Production Company (NYSE:PXP) and McMoRan Exploration Co. (NYSE:MMR) in a $20 billion deal. The deal will create a behemoth in the energy and materials industries.
Trading desks already had a busy day, with several reports being released in Europe. The eurozone services sector contracted at a slightly slower pace in November. Germany, the 17-member currency bloc's economic powerhouse, saw its contraction slow to near break-even territory, while France's contraction picked up steam. A separate report showed eurozone retail sales sinking 1.2% in October from the month before.
"European data continue to signal sluggish economic activity," analysts at Barclays wrote in a note to clients.
Elsewhere, commodities markets were little changed. The benchmark crude oil contract edged lower by 37 cents, or 0.4%, to $88.16 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.46% to $2.677 a gallon. In metals, gold dipped $5.20, or 0.32%, to $1,691 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 rose 0.05% to 2592, the English FTSE 100 gained 0.39% to 5892 and the German DAX ticked up by 0.26% to 7455.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 climbed 0.39% to 9569 and the Chinese Hang Seng surged 2.2% to 22271.

Chad Nacapoy and Jim Ramos were fairly familiar with each other whenever the Cal State Los Angeles and Cal Poly Pomona baseball teams met the last two seasons.
Nacapoy served as a catcher for Cal State L.A. and Ramos was the head coach at Cal Poly Pomona. The two crossed paths at Pomona last spring when Nacapoy attended an invitational tryout with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The two exchanged greetings and would keep in touch during the next several months before Nacapoy was scooped up by Tampa Bay in the 38th round in the 2012 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft in June.
Ramos contacted Nacapoy, a Crescenta Valley High graduate, and inquired about the possibility of him becoming a member of Team Philippines in the World Baseball Classic Qualifier. Ramos was the manager of Team Philippines.
Nacapoy didn't waste any time considering the offer, though he first needed clearance from the Rays. Once Tampa Bay granted Nacapoy permission after he finished up with the Princeton Rays, a rookie affiliate, Nacapoy prepared for the international stage.
"It was just about being in the right place and the right time," said Nacapoy, a former All-Area honoree who graduated last spring from Cal State L.A. "I said yes [to Ramos] about becoming a part of the team and it would be a great opportunity to play at the international level."
Nacapoy grabbed his gear and headed for the Philippines on Nov. 9 for a series of workouts before the team participated in the qualifier. The Hawaii-native Nacapoy has family ties to the Philippines, as his grandparents were born there.
About half of the team featured American-born players and the rest consisted of Filipinos.
"We had a couple of practices and used that time to get used to each other," said Nacapoy, a former Glendale Angeleno. "It was amazing taking in the excitement and seeing the Filipinos playing baseball because it's an up and coming sport there.
"The country was excited about the team. It was a real good experience to be playing baseball there."
The Philippines, ranked 31st in the event, began play with an 8-2 victory against Thailand in Taipei.
Nacapoy went two for six and scored a run against Thailand, which featured Johnny Damon, who won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and New York Yankees in 2009.
"It was an awesome experience to not only be playing in that game, but also going against Damon," Nacapoy said.
The Philippines then suffered a 16-0 loss against Chinese Taipei, ranked eighth, in the next contest Nov. 16. Nacapoy went hitless in a pair of plate appearances.
"We got spanked around a bit," Nacapoy said. "That was their national team and they went out there to send a message.
"They had a relentless lineup and play flawless defense. It's fun to watch them play, but frustrating to lose like that. The atmosphere was awesome playing in prime time and in front of about 20,000 people."
The Philippines saw its bid to qualify for the World Baseball Classic, which will be held in March, end with a 10-6 defeat against unranked New Zealand.
Nacapoy had one hit in four at-bats and scored one run. He finished the qualifier batting .250 (three for 12) with two runs scored.
"We held them close, but then it got away," said Nacapoy, who attended Brigham Young University for two seasons. "I was proud of our team coming back, but we just came up a little short.
"It was an honor to be invited to play. We made history by being the first team from the country to compete and then win a game. I think the future looks bright there with respect to baseball."
Pitcher Geno Espineli was a battery mate with Nacapoy.
Espineli, who pitched briefly with the San Francisco Giants in 2008, said he developed a good rapport with Nacapoy.
"He's a proven catcher and a very good clubhouse leader," Espineli said. "He stepped up for us and our pitchers were confident with the game that he called."

When you have two sofas or any larger seating arrangement, a big coffee table might seem like the obvious solution. But also consider a pair of matching coffee tables. They will keep the focus off one large piece of furniture and let your eye move around the room more easily. One classic coffee table size is 48 by 24 inches, so you can plan on that when thinking about your furniture arrangement. A large coffee table is often double that: 48 inches square.
On the other hand, perhaps you want your space to look cozier (and you need some storage). Stash baskets, trunks and old suitcases under simple legged coffee tables to ground spaces that are otherwise too open. Solid tabletops usually have a very square corner. If you have little kids or the circulation is tight, allow extra space at the ends so it's easier to get around the corners without hitting your shins. Go for color with an upholstered coffee table, as it will draw people to the surrounding sofas and chairs. Top it with a tray to hold books and other items. Choose your fabric wisely, since people may want to put up their feet (and shoes). Outdoor fabrics can be smart; steer clear of linen and fabrics with high amounts of rayon or viscose. Take a swatch home and test it out with dirt, red wine or whatever you think your coffee table will encounter, to make sure your fabric choice can handle it all.
Sealers and, of course, coasters can help protect the surface from water damage. Sometimes a coffee table that isn't the standard height or width is exactly what a room needs. In this instance a very low coffee table creates a crisp horizontal plane in the foreground, offsetting the long horizontal line of the credenza in the background. A higher table would have blocked the view of the credenza and competed with it; the varying heights add interest.
A lip edge or tray top on a coffee table is always a smart choice if you have a tendency to spill your coffee or have kids that will be using the coffee table for snacks and drinks. They're also good if you entertain often and don't want to worry about red wine getting spilled on your carpet. Coffee tables should be the same height as the surrounding seating, with 18 inches being a good average (although it will depend on your furniture). If you select a coffee table with a lip, make sure the lip isn't higher than the adjacent seating, or you'll end up hitting your drink against the lip when you try to set it down. The idea is to put your drink down, not up.

Being in marketing, I know the importance of having a solid message behind a product. If you rely on fluff, the product will always pale by comparison. Glitz may attract, but at some point, there has to be something of value behind the glitz; otherwise, the buyer loses interest, and the product loses value. You couldn't find a better example of this than at a recent basketball game.
I was recently invited to a Sixers' basketball game and skybox, pre-game party. I liked the party part and thought I would leave when the game began because, frankly, I'm not a sports fan. This was made evident when I used the only line I knew to hide my lack of sports knowledge: "Aren't those Sixers great?" Not so, I quickly learned, since the Sixers have lost more than 60 percent of their games this season.
As game time was nearing, I was preparing to leave when all hell seemed to break lose. Suddenly the court was filling with people dancing, jumping, running. Crowd pumpers, men waving and cheering, were on court. There were dancing girls, lots of them — Rockettes with gymnastic genes in overdrive. While they danced, the pumpers pumped, and the audience screamed and yelled, hooted and hollered. It was mayhem. Next came fire from a fire-spouting machine. With every flame came a puff; boom boom boom sound as drums were added to the eclectic mix. Big drums. Loud drums. Add blinking lights, rotating digital ads, horns, and it felt the way gladiator season must have felt like in ancient Rome.
Next came what looked like a mini Zamboni — two, maybe more, who could count with all the dancing girls and crowd pumpers? I still had only one sleeve of my coat on — this after 10 minutes — when, from the mouth of these machines, flew a package that soared and sailed into the air, flying with the ease of a bird.
"What is that?" I whispered to someone. Curiously, he looked at me and said, "It's the Hatfield hot dog launcher." Oh?
How could I not know that? Those were hot dogs flying through the air, one after another, flying into an audience screaming with delight. And while the hot dogs flew, the horns blared, the drums drummed, the fire flared, the dancing girls danced, and the crowd pumpers pumped, and an announcer boomed that the game was about to begin. Ahhhh, I knew there was a basketball game hidden somewhere in the hoopla!
Each player made a grand entrance; more horns, flames, drums and cheers. I was in Rome, this was the Amphitheater, and it was just spruced up a bit with flying hot dogs. They probably had those in ancient Rome too; they were just on a spear!
And so, the game began. Well, after that intro, who could possibly be interested in seeing a ball shot through a hoop? Where was the drama? Why wasn't that basket spinning? Or the ball in day-glo colors? Everything seemed so calm, so tired, so fatigued. The crowd seemed to think so, too. As I slipped my coat on the other arm, I looked around. People were on their phones, they were texting, they were talking to each other. Was anyone watching the game? Well, call me crazy, but if you begin a game with a machine that shoots hot dogs, will anyone be interested in watching men in shorts shoot a ball through a hoop?
I couldn't help but think that somehow, somewhere, the show got reversed. The real show was before the game instead of the game itself. A ticket was purchased to see the Sixers play basketball, but somehow, it seemed that people came to see the initial show and couldn't care less about seeing the team play. Did they feel let down after the hoopla? The Sixers just didn't measure up … and it showed. The real show was the fire machine, the girls, the pumpers, the flying hot dogs, the rotating ads, the blinking lights, horns and drums.
The marketing parallel was obvious. You can create a lot of hoopla with your copy, your commercials, your on-line talk — a lot of flame and fire, but when you get to the product, you can't depend on fluff to carry it through. Your product has to be solid. You have to have substance behind the message, and if you don't, people won't pay attention, because you never backed up the fluff with something of value.
If you depend on fluff without substance, you'll only ever be selling fluff; it can bring people in, but it won't keep their interest. Imagine a concert with all the bells and whistles but with a terrible singer and band. A big letdown after a big intro. But look at a real performer, a Lady Ga Ga. There's substance behind the fluff; there's value behind the glitz and glam. People are drawn and excited not only by the pre-game show, but also by the star herself! She's got value, worth. She is the brand!
Who would have thought that a Sixers' game would be a marketing message in disguise. "Aren't those Sixers Great?"

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Unveils Signature Wine 'Symphony Interrupted'
Megadeth rocker Dave Mustaine has expanded his passions to include wine, as his Mustaine Vineyards is now offering their debut Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 dubbed 'Symphony Interrupted.'
The wine will be available in limited qualities and customers may purchase only three bottles. The orders are also limited to U.S. customers only. The offering was made to commemorate Mustaine's upcoming sold out performance with the San Diego Symphony at Copley Symphony Hall on April 12.
Posted along with the wine offer at the Mustaine Vineyards website, a statement reads, "Tonight, the air is electric; tonight, the sounds are amazing; tonight, we revel in music, in art, in excellence; tonight a guitar legend marries heavy metal and classical music together in a performance only the select few will witness."
The message continues, "Dave Mustaine often says classical IS metal, and now it is time to partake of the highlights and distinctive notes of life's finer things. Raise a glass of our very first bottling of Mustaine Vineyards wine from the sunny hills of Fallbrook, California and lest we forget, tonight is ours forever."
Orders for Dave Mustaine's 2012 'Symphony Interrupted' Cabernet Sauvignon are currently being taken at this location.

No joke! A surprisingly snowy exit for March in Fairfield
It's a day shy of April's Fool Day, and "spring" -- at least in name -- is more than a week old, so Fairfielders and others in southwestern Connecticut might be forgiven if they mistook those first big, wet snowflakes that began falling early this morning for bits of goose down or some exotic tufted-seeds borne aloft on the chilly winds.
But, alas, it was no joke.
Mother Nature surprised almost everyone -- including weather forecasters -- by dusting the region with slick, wet snow ... and the farther east you went, the more snow there was.
It had mostly stopped by 10 a.m., although more precipitation -- the rainy sort-- is in the forecast for this afternoon, with gradual clearing promised as the day goes on.
Tomorrow -- the real April Fool's Day -- is expected to be far more seasonal, with sunny skies and temperatures rising to a high in the low-50s.
Here's hoping that's no joke.

Did you know that the popsicle, ear muffs AND the trampoline were invented by kids? And, more than a few kids have become rich off of their inventions before they even graduated high school.
"Kids are natural innovators," said Jon Dudas, who used to work for the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office but is now the president of FIRST, an organization designed to help foster innovations by kids in science and technology.
One of the youngest inventors, Dudas recalls, was just two. "Her parents had sort of sectioned off a place where she couldn't open the cabinet doors. She used suction cups and an extension," Dudas explained. "Her parents thought it was a neat idea—to use for people in wheelchairs with limited movement," he said. The child had a patent by age four!
Kids have been inventing things for hundreds of years and now, thanks to organizations such as FIRST and "By Kids, for Kids," a group that connects kids with contests for young inventors, they're feeling more inspired and more confident to invent. Turning their products into sales is also becoming more of a reality.

The "world's dumbest trade war" is the spat between the U.S. and China over solar panels, according to an article on Slate. But it's not just dumb: it could threaten the future of solar power, the online magazine says.
Cheap and plentiful solar panels from China have fueled the boom in rooftop solar systems. But now that the U.S. is threatening to slap new tariffs on them, China could retaliate by slapping more duties on U.S. manufactured polysilicon, a key component of the panels, the article says.
It all started when the U.S. division of Germany's SolarWorld AG started lobbying the federal government for an investigation on alleged duty evasion. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce followed with a call to stop the probe, asking the U.S. government to be "prudent" in taking any further measures.
On Friday, the International Trade Commission voted to proceed with the probe. The ITC and the Commerce Department are running parallel investigations into solar imports from China and Taiwan, out of concern Chinese makers could be evading duties by assembling solar modules from cells made in other countries.
The U.S. established duties on Chinese solar products in 2012, but they didn't include solar panels made with solar cells outsourced from other countries.
A research report released this week by Cowen and Co. noted the trade barriers are bad for solar-panel makers such as China-based Trina Solar Ltd. /quotes/zigman/446274/delayed /quotes/nls/tsl TSL , and also for U.S. installers like Real Goods Solar Inc. /quotes/zigman/109405/delayed /quotes/nls/rsol RSOL .
Even supposed beneficiaries — First Solar Inc. /quotes/zigman/102025/delayed /quotes/nls/fslr FSLR and SunPower Corp. /quotes/zigman/7312465/delayed /quotes/nls/spwr SPWR — would not reap that many benefits, the analysts said.
SunPower's manufacturing is constrained until later this year, and the company would have limited ability to take market share.
First Solar does not participate in the U.S. rooftop solar panel market, at least not until it ramps up capacity at TetraSun, the panel maker it bought in April 2013 to get a toehold in the rooftop market.
Moreover, higher PV cell prices would slow U.S. solar growth overall. Domestic manufacturing lacks capacity to support the market, the Cowen analysts said, and an expansion ahead of 2016, when tax credits are set to expire, are not feasible.
If China is blocked, production would likely move to another low-cost country in Asia or to Mexico, but not to the U.S. in any case.
Following the Friday ITC vote, the Commerce Department is expected to make a preliminary decision on the Chinese subsidies on March 28 and a preliminary decision on dumping on June 11.

Arapahoe Basin offers two-season bulk pass
summit daily news
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area is selling a season pass that's good for not just one season but two.
The so-called Double Down Pass is available for $499 until Dec. 31 and is valid at the ski area through the 2013-2014 ski season. Single-season adult passes are still available for $299.
A-Basin enthusiasts can save $99 for two seasons of skiing available at the bulk price.
A-Basin is perhaps best known for its long ski seasons, which chief operating officer Alan Henceroth says average 233 days.
The Double Down also affords its passholders the same great on-mountain benefits as the regular single-season A-Basin pass. These include 10 percent off food and beverage purchases as well as purchases made in the Arapahoe Sports retail shop.
A-Basin passholders also receive one $45 half-day class lesson with the A-Basin Snowsports School, $10 off performance tuning, one unguided day at Silverton Mountain, and discounted pricing on lift tickets for friends and family.
Passholders who have already purchased a single-season A-Basin pass can upgrade to the Double Down for $200.

Dink, 52, managing editor of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, was shot outside his newspaper's offices in Istanbul. Dink had received numerous death threats from nationalist Turks who viewed his iconoclastic journalism, particularly on the mass killings of Armenians in the early 20th century, as an act of treachery. In a January 10 article in Agos, Dink said he had passed along a particularly threatening letter to Istanbul's Sisli district prosecutor, but no action had been taken.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Dink's murder as an attack against Turkey's unity and promised to catch those responsible, according to international news reports. A day later, police arrested the alleged triggerman, 17-year-old Ogün Samast, who reportedly confessed to the crime. Erhan Tuncel and Yasin Hayal, described as ultranationalist Turks opposed to Dink's political views, were accused of conspiring with Samast to carry out the murder. In all, 19 people went on trial beginning in July.
In the last 15 years, 18 other Turkish journalists have been killed for their work, many of them murdered, making it the eighth-deadliest country in the world for journalists, CPJ research shows. The last killing was in 1999. More recently, journalists, academics, and others have been subjected to pervasive legal harassment for statements that allegedly insult the Turkish identity, CPJ research shows.
Dink, a Turkish citizen of Armenian descent, had been prosecuted several times in recent years-for writing about the mass killings of Armenians by Turks at the beginning of the 20th century, for criticizing lines in the Turkish national anthem that he considered discriminatory, and even for commenting publicly on the court cases against him. His office had also been the target of protests.
In July 2006, Turkey's High Court of Appeals upheld a six-month suspended prison sentence against Dink for violating Article 301 of the penal code in a case sparked by complaints from nationalist activists. His prosecution stemmed from a series of articles in early 2004 dealing with the collective memory of the Armenian massacres of 1915-17 under the Ottoman Empire. Armenians call the killings the first genocide of the 20th century, a term that Turkey rejects.
Ironically, the pieces for which Dink was convicted had urged diaspora Armenians to let go of their anger against the Turks. The prosecution was sharply criticized by the European Union, which Turkey has sought to join. Dink said he would take the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, to clear his name.
Dink edited Agos for all of the newspaper's 11-year existence. Agos, the only Armenian newspaper in Turkey, had a circulation of just 6,000, but its political influence was vast. Dink regularly appeared on television to express his views.
In a February 2006 interview with CPJ, Dink said that he hoped his critical reporting would pave the way for peace between the two peoples. "I want to write and ask how we can change this historical conflict into peace," he said.
In the interview, Dink said he did not think the tide had yet turned in favor of critical writers-"the situation in Turkey is tense"-but he believed that it ultimately would. "I believe in democracy and press freedom. I am determined to pursue the struggle."

Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient, mostly Hebrew, manuscripts (of leather, papyrus, and copper) first found in 1947 on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is among the more important finds in the history of modern archaeology. Study of the scrolls has enabled scholars to push back the date of a stabilized Hebrew Bible to no later than 70 ce, to help reconstruct the history of Palestine from the 4th century bce to 135 ce, and to cast new light on the emergence of Christianity and of rabbinic Judaism and on the relationship between early Christian and Jewish religious traditions.
Discovery and description
The Dead Sea Scrolls come from various sites and date from the 3rd century bce to the 2nd century ce. The term usually refers more specifically to manuscripts found in 11 caves near the ruins of Qumrān, which most scholars think was the home of the community that owned the scrolls. The relevant period of occupation of this site runs from c. 100 to c. 68 bce, and the scrolls themselves nearly all date from the 3rd to the 1st century bce. The 15,000 fragments (most of which are tiny) represent the remains of 800 to 900 original manuscripts. They are conventionally labeled by cave number and the first letter (or letters) of the Hebrew title—e.g., 1QM = Cave 1, Qumrān, Milḥamah (the Hebrew word for "war"); or 4QTest = Cave 4, Qumrān, Testimonia (i.e., a collection of proof-texts). Each manuscript has also been given an individual number.
The documents were recovered in the Judaean wilderness from five principal sites: Khirbat Qumrān, Wadi Al-Murabbaʿāt, Naḥal Ḥever (Wadi Khabrah) and Naḥal Ẓeʾelim (Wadi Seiyal), Wadi Daliyeh, and Masada. The first manuscripts, accidentally discovered in 1947 by a shepherd boy in a cave at Khirbat Qumrān on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, were almost immediately labeled Dead Sea Scrolls. Later (especially from the 1950s to the mid-1960s) finds in neighbouring areas were similarly designated.
A great number and variety of manuscripts were discovered at Qumrān. The best-preserved documents at that site are those found in Cave 1, including an Isaiah Scroll; the Rule of the Community (also called the Manual of Discipline); The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness, or War Scroll; a scroll of thanksgiving hymns; and a commentary on Habakkuk. Cave 2 contained only fragments, but Cave 3 yielded the Copper Scroll, a list of Temple treasures and their hiding places. Cave 4 sheltered the main deposit of what some believe to have been an Essene library, which contained approximately 400 manuscripts, generally in poor condition. Most of the manuscripts are sectarian writings, and about 100 of them are biblical texts, covering the entire Hebrew Bible except Esther. Several well-preserved documents were recovered from Cave 11, including a large scroll with canonical, apocryphal, and unknown psalms. There was also a copy of Leviticus (dated to the 3rd century bce) as well as the very important Temple Scroll. Its 66 preserved columns give details for the construction of the ideal Temple of Jerusalem.
Wadi Al-Murabbaʿāt, a second site 11 miles (18 km) south of Qumrān, contained documents left by fugitives from the armies of Bar Kokhba, the leader of the Second Jewish Revolt against Rome in 132–135 ce. Archaeologists recovered two letters of Bar Kokhba, legal documents in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and fragmentary biblical works of the 1st and 2nd centuries ce. They also found a remarkably well-preserved scroll of the 12 Minor Prophets that is virtually identical with the traditional biblical text.
A third site was discovered by shepherds in 1952 south of ʿEn Gedi. The discoveries at this site include a lost Greek translation (1st century ce) of the Minor Prophets, a letter of Bar Kokhba, biblical fragments, and legal documents of the Bar Kokhba era in Aramaic, Greek, and Nabataean. Excavations at Naḥal Ẓeʾelim, in the "Cave of Scrolls," uncovered clear evidence of the Bar Kokhba era and, in the "Cave of Letters," 15 papyri of Bar Kokhba with a psalms fragment. Later diggings produced additional letters of Bar Kokhba and a large body of Nabataean, Aramaic, and Greek documents. At Naḥal Ḥever, in the "Cave of Horrors" (containing skeletal remains), there were bits of a Greek recension of the Minor Prophets.
A fourth site, 8.5 miles (13.6 km) north of ancient Jericho, yielded about 40 badly damaged documents deposited in a cave by Samarians, who were massacred there by soldiers of Alexander the Great in 331 bce. These legal documents are all in Aramaic except for seals in Paleo-Hebrew. As the earliest (375–335 bce) extensive group of papyri ever found in Palestine, they are of immense value to historians.
A fifth site, at Masada, produced a Hebrew manuscript of Ecclesiasticus (c. 75 bce) and fragments of Psalms, Leviticus, and Genesis. Found also was a Scroll of the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, possibly of Essene authorship. A similar manuscript was found in Cave 4 at Qumrān.
The discoveries at the various sites include a wide variety of texts, but the greatest interest remains with the sectarian writings, which can be classified as follows: (1) rules, or manuals, like the Rule of the Community, describing the dualistic doctrine, constitution, and regulations of the "Union," as the community owning the scrolls at Qumrān called itself; and the War Scroll, which tells how the "children of light" finally conquer the "children of darkness"; (2) interpretations of biblical texts, such as commentaries on Isaiah, Habakkuk, Nahum, or Psalms; or groupings of texts by topic, such as the Florilegium or the Melchizedek Fragments—all of these typically relate scriptural passages to the sect and its times; (3) liturgical texts, including the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, which focus on angelic worship in the heavenly Temple (anticipating later Jewish mystical traditions), and the Thanksgiving Hymns, which express a powerful anthropology of human depravity redeemed through divine grace; (4) collections of laws, frequently dealing with cultic purity, such as the Halakhic Letter, the Damascus Document, and the Temple Scroll; and (5) ethical tracts (e.g., several sapient works, and the Song of the Sage).
Although heralded as one of the great events in modern archaeology, the discovery of the scrolls is not without controversy. All the manuscripts were placed originally under the control of a small committee of scholars appointed by the Jordanian Department of Antiquities (a responsibility assumed after 1967 by what is now the Israel Antiquities Authority), who, some claim, monopolized access to the scrolls. Most of the longer, more complete scrolls were published soon after their discovery. The majority of the scrolls, however, consists of tiny, brittle fragments, which were published at a pace considered by many to be excessively slow. Even more unsettling for some was the fact that access to the unpublished documents was severely limited to the editorial committee. In September 1991 researchers at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, announced that they had created a computer program that used a previously published concordance to the scrolls to reconstruct one of the unpublished texts. Later that month officials at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, announced that they would allow researchers unrestricted access to the library's complete set of photographs of the scrolls. With their monopoly broken, the official scholars of the Israel Antiquities Authority agreed to lift their long-standing restrictions on the use of the scrolls. In 2011 researchers from the Israel Museum, which housed the scrolls, collaborated with the American search engine company Google Inc. to publish five of the larger scrolls, including the Isaiah Scroll, online.
The scrolls in context
The group at Qumrān has been identified with many Jewish sects of the time. Even though some scholars believe the community to have been a branch of the Sadducees or Zealots, most believe that they were Essenes. The group is believed to have fled, or been driven out, to the Judaean wilderness as a result of a dispute with the priestly leaders in Jerusalem over the sacred calendar and matters of legal interpretation. At Qumrān this group not only preserved their beliefs but developed a worldview that rejected the rest of the Jewish people, espoused a highly dualistic view of the world (i.e., a world sharply divided between good and evil, light and darkness), and looked for an imminent divine judgment of the wicked. They also cultivated a communal life of extreme ritual purity, necessitated by their rejection of the Temple cult.
The history of the Qumrān community can be glimpsed, though darkly, through the scrolls. The "Union" was apparently founded by a messianic figure called the "Teacher of Righteousness." The group may have split off from a wider movement that lived in its own settlements and urban quarters throughout Palestine. Whatever its origins may have been, the community offers a fascinating example of a Jewish messianic movement, and thus a sociological parallel to the early Christians. Other parallels between the two groups, such as the belief that Scripture foretold the history of their own times, have sometimes been thought to indicate a direct connection, but such parallels can just as easily be explained by the Jewish background common to both groups.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are important not only because they offer insight into the community at Qumrān but because they provide a window to the wider spectrum of ancient Jewish belief and practice. A quarter of the texts are biblical manuscripts—to which can be added copies of works such as the books of Enoch, Jubilees, and Tobit, previously known and not thought to be sectarian. Thus, the scrolls shed light on more than merely the sect that possessed them. Indeed, it has been argued that the Qumrān scrolls actually represent the contents of libraries in Jerusalem, hurriedly hidden shortly before the Roman siege of the city during the First Jewish Revolt (66–73 ce), and thus reflect quite varied Jewish origins. This is not an improbable explanation for the concealment of the scrolls, but the diversity of these scrolls is not as wide as this account would suggest. Clearly, many scrolls originate from outside the sect, and this realization makes the importance of the scrolls to ancient Judaism even greater than if they were entirely sectarian.
Indeed, because the scrolls reflect the beliefs and practices of Jewish groups during a highly volatile period of Judaean history, this unique collection of sectarian and nonsectarian writings is the most important archive for understanding late Second Temple Judaism. By contrast, the New Testament was written by and for both Diaspora Jews and non-Jews; and rabbinic literature was composed at a later period and under quite different circumstances.
Above all else, the contents of the scrolls show the remarkable flexibility and variety of Jewish thought and practice and demolish any notion of a uniform "Judaism" at that time. They show that the notion of cultic holiness and sacrifice could be contemplated without the Temple, that different liturgical calendars (implying different times for festivals and different priestly rituals at the Temple) existed at the same time, that the distinction between Israel and the Gentiles could be displaced by a notion of two predestined groups of saved and damned individuals, that the worship of the celestial Temple could be witnessed and described (foreshadowing a tradition of Jewish mysticism), and that good works could replace sacrifice. They also show a variety of beliefs that may have been shared by some or all of the Judaisms of the period, including the imminent culmination of history, the advent of a messianic figure, and the absolute necessity of complete obedience to the Law of Moses (however interpreted).
The Dead Sea Scrolls also testify to a period of theological creativity, of social fissure, of intense expectation and passion within the wider perspective of Judaism and Christianity. The scrolls' occasional contradictions betray tensions between the goals of personal holiness and national redemption; between human and heavenly redeemers; between faith and knowledge as the means of salvation; between free will and predestination; and between an anthropology of human holiness and an anthropology of human depravity. They also exhibit typical features of a sectarian mentality: traces of a persecution complex and a corporate identity fortified by official opposition. In this ferment can be seen, with hindsight, the matrix of the two great systems of rabbinic Judaism and Christianity, which, though each took centuries to form, drew in different ways on the heritage that the Dead Sea Scrolls dramatically document.Philip R.

Reinvention by Maya Donenfeld is a sewing book filled with 28 projects made from salvaged materials. The chapters are broken down by materials, Linen, Burlap, Jersey, Wool, Denim, Mailers, and Vintage. Along with the projects, there are also two chapters dedicated to sewing basics and printing basics. This book has projects for everyone from sewer beginners to advanced.
One of the things that stood out to be in this book was that Maya shares the history of the materials and their environmental impact. For example, she shares about the product Tyvek which I knew nothing about until reading Maya's book. The Environmental Impact section really made me think about some of the products I buy and what I could do without.
Below are few of my favorite projects.

Transformations of Dynkin Diagrams
Before we continue constructing root systems, we want to stop and observe a couple things about transformations of Dynkin diagrams.
First off, I want to be clear about what kinds of transformations I mean. Given Dynkin diagrams and , I want to consider a mapping that sends every vertex of to a vertex of . Further, if and are vertices of joined by edges, then and should be joined by edges in as well, and the orientation of double and triple edges should be the same.
But remember that and , as vertices, really stand for vectors in some base of a root system, and the number of edges connecting them encodes their Cartan integers. If we slightly abuse notation and write and for these bases, then the mapping defines images of the vectors in , which is a basis of a vector space. Thus extends uniquely to a linear transformation from the vector space spanned by to that spanned by . And our assumption about the number of edges joining two vertices means that preserves the Cartan integers of the base .
Now, just like we saw when we showed that the Cartan matrix determines the root system up to isomorphism, we can extend to a map from the root system generated by to the root system generated by . That is, a transformation of Dynkin diagrams gives rise to a morphism of root systems.
Unfortunately, the converse doesn't necessarily hold. Look back at our two-dimensional examples; specifically, consider the and root systems. Even though we haven't really constructed the latter yet, we can still use what we see. There are linear maps taking the six roots in to either the six long roots or the six short roots in . These maps are all morphisms of root systems, but none of them can be given by transformations of Dynkin diagrams. Indeed, the image of any base for would contain either two long roots in or two short roots, but any base of would need to contain both a long and a short root.
However, not all is lost. If we have an isomorphism of root systems, then it must send a base to a base, and thus it can be seen as a transformation of the Dynkin diagrams. Indeed, an isomorphism of root systems gives rise to an isomorphism of Dynkin diagrams.
The other observation we want to make is that duality of root systems is easily expressed in terms of Dynkin diagrams: just reverse all the oriented edges! Indeed, we've already seen this in the case of and root systems. When we get to constructing and , we will see that they are self-dual, in keeping with the fact that reversing the directed edge in each case doesn't really change the diagram.

It's Sunday morning. That's time for setting fantasy lineups and last-minute injury updates.
A four-part series on player health and safety with reporter Andrea Kremer aired Tuesday through Friday on NFL Network:
Tuesday: Football's safety issues
Wednesday: Virginia Tech's helmet technology, The "Hit System"
Thursday: Inside Darrelle Revis' rehab
Friday: The lack of common safety standards in youth football
» For more information on player health and safety, visit NFLEvolution.com.
Here's the latest injury news you need to know, updated throughout the games.
1. New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker played during a 59-24 blowout victory over the Indianapolis Colts despite a lingering ankle injury. As expected, tight end Aaron Hernandez (ankle) didn't suit up for the Patriots.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashad Mendenhall (ankle) started against the Baltimore Ravens on "Sunday Night Football." We knew Mendenhall would be back previously but didn't know if he'd start until coach Mike Tomlin announced the news Sunday morning. We still believe the Steelers should throw the ball plenty against the Ravens.
3. Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon (foot) started in a 31-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said all week he expected the wide receiver to play against the Eagles. Safety Brandon Meriweather (knee) also played.
4. Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels (hamstring) played in a 43-37 overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
5. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith is cautiously expected to play Monday night despite his concussion. He's listed as questionable. Jason Campbell will start for the Chicago Bears with starting quarterback Jay Cutler sidelined by a concussion.
6. Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle) played in a 23-19 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, but he left in the third quarter when he appeared to reaggrevate the injury. Running back Michael Turner (groin) also played, but linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (knee) sat out.
7. Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden missed Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys after testing his injury in warmups.
8. San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews (neck) played Sunday in the team's 30-23 loss to the Denver Broncos.
9. New York Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley (heel, hamstring) played in a 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams.
