Last week, we presented 10 things we learned about the Patriots this spring. Consider this -- an absurdly early look at what the 53-man roster might looks like -- a companion piece is based on notes from the spring sessions.
Quarterback (3): Tom Brady, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett. No surprises here. It will be interesting to see the breakdown of the reps Hoyer and Mallett get in the preseason.
Running back (4): Joseph Addai, Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead. Don't expect a traditional lead back in this group, but instead a collective effort, with Woodhead figuring in as a multidimensional threat. Kevin Faulk could always be a part of the mix (possibly if he starts the season on PUP), but his chances of making the final roster right now appear slim. If he's not on the roster, look for Addai to take over many of his responsibilities. Brandon Bolden is a candidate for the practice squad.
Tight end (3): Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Daniel Fells. Fells figures to be the third in the mix with Gronkowski and Hernandez, although we haven't seen him on the field at all throughout the spring. Jake Ballard will likely spend 2012 on injured reserve.
Offensive line (7): Dan Koppen, Dan Connolly, Marcus Cannon, Logan Mankins, Nate Solder, Robert Gallery, Brian Waters. Lots of moving parts here with a lot of different possibilities. With the uncertain health of both Mankins and Sebastian Vollmer, we're going to bet that at least one of them will be nagged by persistent injury issues and start the year on PUP. (We rolled the dice here and put Vollmer on the PUP list.) We also went with Gallery over Ryan Wendell, mainly because Gallery has played both guard and tackle, which could come in handy if Vollmer is out, but that could just as easily be flipped between now and the start of the season. Donald Thomas doesn't make our final cut, but could also be a part of the mix as well.
Wide receiver (6): Deion Branch, Brandon Lloyd, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, Jabar Gaffney, Donte Stallworth. First five are no-brainers, with Edelman's special teams value clinching his spot. Tough call here with the addition of Stallworth, but his work as a kick returner lands him the final spot on the roster. Not that it's a secure spot -- he could get bumped if an extra body is needed anywhere else. (Particularly on the offensive line.) Rookie Jeremy Ebert lands on the practice squad.
Specialists (3): Zoltan Mesko, Stephen Gostkowski, Danny Aiken. Again, no surprises here.
Defensive linemen (8): Vince Wilfork, Jonathan Fanene, Gerard Warren, Brandon Deaderick, Kyle Love, Myron Pryor, Jake Bequette, Chandler Jones. Some news faces make Ron Brace expendable. In a perfect world for the Patriots, rookie Justin Francis makes it through to he practice squad, but his fate could be tied to how he performs in the preseason. Marcus Harrison is also a practice squad candidate.
Linebackers (8): Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes, Bobby Carpenter, Dont'a Hightower, Dane Fletcher, Trevor Scott, Rob Ninkovich, Tracy White. Bill Belichick said Jermaine Cunningham had a great offseason, but it's not enough to save him here. Ninkovich and Scott have also lined up at defensive end, but we're going to put them here at their primary position. (Niko Koutouvides and Jeff Tarpinian just miss the cut, but both could also be a part of the mix here.)
Defensive backs (11): Matthew Slater, Devin McCourty, Kyle Arrington, Ras-I Dowling, Sterling Moore, Will Allen, Patrick Chung, Steve Gregory, Tavon Wilson, Alfonzo Dennard, Nate Ebner. Lots of movement here, with plenty of new faces who have positional versatility that could leave some guys who have been around Foxboro for a couple of years out in the cold. The Patriots would love to have a healthy Dowling -- that would allow them to do more in the secondary and create a positive domino effect. I think they would love to be able to get Ebner through to the practice squad for a year -- if they can, that would open the door for some other moves, like the return of either Brown or Barrett -- but I don't know if that's possible. Marquice Cole presents very good special teams value, but just misses out. Likewise Ross Ventrone, but something tells me that Ventrone finds his way back to Gillette Stadium sooner rather than later.
A few notes: This roster doesn't include defensive end Andre Carter, but it wouldn't be a surprised if he made a return to Foxboro sometime this year. In addition, the numbers simply precluded us from including any of the fullbacks on the roster -- Eric Kettani, Spencer Larsen and Tony Fiammetta. If the Patriots do end up going with one, it would likely be Larsen because of his positional versatility (he's played both offense and defense in the NFL).

Last of shuttered Cleveland parishes reopens after winning Vatican appeal
Hundreds gathered Sunday to celebrate the reopening of St. Emeric Catholic Church, a Hungarian parish that was shuttered two and a half years ago and is the last of 11 churches to reopen under orders from the Vatican.
For the first time in 28 months, St. Emeric came alive in a glow of candles and surges of Hungarian prayers and hymns. Many in the standing-room-only crowd held up cellphone cameras to capture the historic day.
"I can't speak," said Irma Friedrich, a parishioner since 1957. "I start to cry."

Region: Southeast
Topic: Seed and Plant Sources
Title: Source of black cherries for Tennessee
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I need to know where black cherries grow in TN. I need a source of black cherries in TN. Do they grow easily and can the trees be bought?
Prunus serotina var. serotina (black cherry) is the largest and most important cherry native to North America, and is, indeed, found growing naturally in Tennessee. This USDA Plant Profile shows the counties in Tennessee in which it is presently growing. It is apparently considered more important for the wood than the fruit. Limited flowering can begin a few years after planting; however, maximum production is usually found on trees between 30 and 100 years of age. The main value of the berries seems to be as a food source for migratory birds.
On the other hand, Prunus virginiana (chokecherry), a large shrub or small tree, is also found growing in Tennessee. This USDA Plant Profile shows it growing in counties in the eastern part of Tennessee, but they could very well be growing in more areas than shown on the map. Nashville, of course, is in the north central area of Tennessee, and is not included in the USDA location map. The site notes that range may be expanded by planting. For some opinions from gardeners on the chokecherry, you might be interested in reading the comments in this Dave's Garden forum on Prunus virginiana.
Here is a warning that applies to members of the genus Prunus, taken from our own website on Prunus virginiana (chokecherry).Warning: New growth, wilted leaves, or plant parts that are injured by frost or drought are poisonous to cattle and humans. The toxin, hydrocyanic acid, is formed in the animals stomach. Hydrocyanic acid quickly affects animals and causes difficulty in breathing, slow pulse, dilated pupils, staggering and loss of consciousness before death. Chokecherry toxicity is highest during the spring and summer; however, leaves are non-toxic by the time fruits mature.
Both of these plants, being in the same genus, share many of the problems of disease and insects. The stone fruits or members of the genus Prunus seem to be susceptible to many pests and diseases. See this North Dakota State University website on Disease Control in Cherries, Plums and Other Stone Fruits. That would address your question as to whether they were easy to grow.
It comes down to what you had in mind for the cherry tree-street tree, wood to make your own furniture, cherries for jelly? We even took a look at hybrids of various cherry plants, but they seemed to be geared to the decorative flowers in the Spring. At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, we recommend plants native to North America and to the area in which they are being grown. Many food crops either are not native or have been so extensively hybridized that they are no longer recognizable as native. Therefore, it would seem that a source for the kind of cherry you are looking for may be out of our range of expertise. We would suggest that you consult the University of Tennessee Extension Office for Davidson County. Their web home page gives contact information. County extension offices are more in touch with local growing conditons and with the production of food crops.
Finally, if you decide that what you want is one of the two natives we have cited above, go to our Native Plant Suppliers section, type in the town and state, and you will get a list of native plant nurseries, seed suppliers and landscape consultants in your area.

By: The Associated Press
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A Dona Ana County fire investigator says smoke from a fire at a biofuel facility wasn't toxic, and authorities say there's no continuing health risk to residents.
The fire at the Rio Valley Biofuels facility in Anthony on Tuesday forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes as authorities declared a hazardous materials emergency.
The evacuation order was lifted Tuesday after the fire was largely put out, but some material continued to smolder Wednesday.
Deputy Fire Marshal Eric Crespin says tests of water used to clean firefighters and their gear indicate the smoke wasn't toxic.
New Mexico State Police Lt James Frietze says the materials in tanks that exploded were "relatively safe" without direct contact.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that investigators continue trying to determine the fire's cause.

Construction starts on Eastern Cape damBack

The R70-million project makes up Phase 1C of the R350.7-million Mncwasa Water Supply Scheme and is aimed at providing water supply storage for the Amathole district municipality.
The scheme, which was initiated in 2010, is being built in phases up to 2012/13 and will provide water to more than 6 000 households.
The Mndwaka dam makes use of rubble masonry concrete (RMC) technology, which blends ancient manual construction methods with state-of-the-art design techniques, Shaw says.
"RMC dam construction has been demon- strated to be an efficient and highly cost-effective method for the labour-based construction of small and medium-sized dams," he notes.
Structures created through this method are durable and substantially less sensitive to exceptional flooding conditions than a common fill embankment. This durability reduces the requirement for river diversion and allows for a dam to be built safely in phases over an indefinite period, or to be built for future raising, he adds.
Further, RMC dam construction usually creates about five times more employment opportunities than are created during the construction of an equivalent embankment dam and the masonry skills developed through the application of this technology have been found to be of value in many other types of construction, Shaw points out.
Meanwhile, construction on the 24 m earthfill embankment Mukurumudzi dam, which will supply water to Australia-based mineral sands developer Base Resources' Kwale project, in southern Kenya, started in January.
The Kwale project entails the extraction of titanium and zircon minerals from the dunes in the area south of Mombasa.
The dam is configured as a homogeneous embankment of about 210 000 m3 of silty sand originating from the local area. With little suitable clay materials available, the impermeable membrane of the dam will comprise a central bentonite-cement-soil cutoff constructed progressively with the embankment and will include graded blanket and chimney drains for seepage control.
Flood handling will be managed through an uncontrolled ogee spillway over a saddle on the left bank.
To date, the construction process has included excavation across the full dam footprint, partial excavation of the core trench, partial construction of the river diversion culvert and the establishment of the contractor's facilities and plant.
The project is expected to be completed in April 2013.
ARQ's RMC technology, combined with its spillway capacity enhancement technology, was also recently used on the Department of Water Affairs' (DWA's) Bospoort and Molepo dams to increase the dams' spillway capacity fourfold, adds Shaw.
Chuniespoort Dam
Chuniespoort is a 16-m-high homogeneous earthfill embankment dam.
The rehabilitation project included increasing the spillway capacity, raising the earthfill embankment, installing embankment drainage, up- and downstream erosion protection and upgrading the outlet works.
The granitic fill used for the construction of the dam is dispersive and careful treatment, as well as design and construction specifications, were needed to ensure a durable, low-maintenance solution.
"ARQ's involvement included the conceptual design, the full detailed design, preparation of tender documents, as well as supervision assistance," says Shaw.
Changuinola 1 Dam
"The 230 MW hydropower scheme comprises the dam, a 4 km headrace tunnel and a surface power station," says Shaw.
At a completed cost of about $150-million, the dam consists of a 105-m-high roller-compacted concrete (RCC) arch/gravity structure, with a crest length of 590 m and a concrete volume of 895 000 m3.
"ARQ's involvement in the design phase of the project included the feasibility design, the full detailed dam design, the spillway design, the instrumentation design, the river diversion design, as well as the foundation rock mass analysis and the design for the EPC contractor," he says.
The dam was initially configured as a gravity structure, but as more rock mass information became available, the company was able to prove the technical feasibility of an arch/gravity structure to the satisfaction of the project owner.
On the basis of the associated time and cost savings, the design was accordingly revised.
"The Changuinola 1 dam is the first RCC dam built outside China and South Africa," Shaw points out.
Future of Water Engineering
Compared with the rest of the world, the country's water engineering industry's standards were high, until a recent reduction in large projects and an increase in competition in a shrinking international market led to the best minds no longer entering the field of civil engineering, he says.
"Retaining qualified and experienced engin- eers can only be done by accessing bigger markets, which is why ARQ is working on a number of dams and hydropower projects abroad," he adds.
The biggest potential for South African consulting engineers to grow is to expand further north into Africa, says Shaw.
"We are ideally placed, both geographically and in terms of our understanding of the correct engineering approach to provide services for the development of water resources and hydropower projects in Africa," he says.

Plot Summary: Combining elements of thriller, romance, and war movie, "The Situation," set exclusively in Iraq and the first U.S. feature film to deal with the occupation, dramatizes one of the countless human stories that lie behind the headlines of the current war. When a group of American soldiers throw an Iraqi boy off a bridge in Samarra, the incident sets off a chain of events that exposes the deep rifts among the Iraqis in Samarra and results in yet another cycle of violence between the insurgents and the corrupt Iraqi police.
Anna (Connie Nielsen) is an American journalist who decides to write a story about the assassination of an Iraqi leader whom she admires. At the same time, she is pulling away from a relationship with Dan (Damian Lewis), an American intelligence official who thinks the war can be won with hearts and minds, and towards Zaid (Mido Hamada), a young Iraqi photographer who shows her there are people, rather than sides, in the conflict. As she tries to make sense of the half-truths of Iraq, she gets caught up in the violence and finds her life in danger.

Venture capital report: financing trends continue to improve
VC Reports
Send this to a friend
- Aislyn Greene
- Contributing Writer
Though the effects of the recession still linger, 2010 was a year of slow recovery for the venture capital industry - and 2011 should be even better, according to an annual report from law firm Cooley. The overall deal volume in 2010 reached 407 deals, a level not seen over the last five years. And, aggregate dollars invested - $4.6 billion - eclipsed levels seen in the years following the recession.
"The slow but steady growth we saw in 2010, and the continued growth thus far in 2011, leads us to be optimistic about financing trends continuing to improve," said Craig Jacoby, head of Cooley's Emerging Companies practice.
TechFlash reported in the first quarter of 2010 that the number of up rounds - venture capital deals completed at a higher valuation than the previous round - had increased to 58 percent of all deals. That trend continued, with an overall increase in the percentage of up rounds over 2009, and a significant increase in the fourth quarter when 72 percent of all fourth quarter financings were up rounds.
All series of financings saw an increase in median pre-money valuations over 2009, especially in later-stage deals. There was a sizable increase in the number and percentage of deals with a median pre-money valuation of more than $100 million.
The report said, in another sign of recovery, it saw recapitalization transactions decrease to 2007 levels.
Cooley's report analyzed 407 deals completed across the U.S., totaling approximately $4.6 billion. The data was not broken down by industry.
Though the VC industry appears to be improving, some analysts have speculated the tech industry could be headed towards another bubble. The NYT today launched a discussion comparing/contrasting the current climate (money again pouring in and valuations for companies like Facebook and Zynga quintupling in recent years) to that of the late 90's.

U.S. soldier confesses to Afghan massacre
"I've asked that question a million times since then," he said in court Wednesday at the base south of Tacoma. "There's not a good reason in the world for why I did the horrible things I did."
Bales, 39, confessed to the massacre as part of a plea agreement sparing him the death penalty for the slayings he carried out in two villages last year while serving with a Lewis-McChord Stryker brigade.
Army Judge Col. Jeffery Nance accepted the agreement and declared Bales guilty after the soldier spent several hours admitting to the offenses.
"Sir, I intended to kill them," Bales told Nance when the judge asked what Bales planned to do when he walked armed and alone inside the homes of sleeping Afghans in the early hours of March 11, 2012.
In the best-case scenario for him, Bales, a father of two who used to live in Lake Tapps, Wash., would receive a life sentence with a chance for parole. Murder carries a mandatory minimum life sentence under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Bales attorneys said his guilty plea was the first step in taking responsibility for the homicides. A sentencing trial is expected to take place in August.
"He's very remorseful," defense attorney John Henry Browe said.
Bales for the most part spoke in a steady voice as his wife, Kari, and other supporters sat behind him in court. His voice wavered a couple times when he named his victims. He used restrained, legal language to describe the slaughter. For instance, in describing his killing of a man named Mohammed Dawood, Bales said, "I formed the intent to kill Mohammed Dawood and then did kill him by shooting him with a firearm. This act had no legal justification."
He read a variation of the same paragraph 15 more times.
Bales learned the names of his victims from investigative reports and from wrenching witness testimony at a pretrial hearing in November. Survivors testified over a video link and described watching an American soldier kill their loved ones.
The Army has been preparing to bring several of the six people he wounded to Lewis-McChord to testify at Bales' court-martial. The terms of his plea agreement could allow them to testify over video teleconferences at his sentencing instead of in person, Nance said in court.
In Kandahar, relatives of Bales' victims have been advocating for the death penalty.
The killing spree started, Bales said, when he walked outside the Special Forces combat outpost where he was serving and encountered a grandmother in the village of Alkozai. They struggled inside her home. Bales did not say why, or what he was doing there. Bales decided he would shoot any Afghan he saw, including the woman. She was his first victim.
He killed four people in Alkozai and wounded six more in that village. Then he returned to his combat outpost, only to leave once more for nearby Najiban, where he killed 12 more civilians.
Bales' attorneys over the past year have said the four-time combat veteran suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma from a concussive head injury. The soldier Wednesday did not discuss whether that influenced his behavior. Those factors likely will be raised at the sentencing trial.
Bales did, however, describe an environment that tolerated alcohol and steroid abuse in a combat zone that was nurtured by soldiers from the 7th Special Forces Group who were in charge of his outpost.
He was not working with his larger Stryker brigade at the time; his unit was broken into small components and assigned to Special Forces detachments throughout southern Afghanistan last year.
He testified that he obtained steroids from a Special Forces noncommissioned officer and used them three times a week to get fit for the mission. He also said he drank with soldiers at the base.
The military forbids service members from using either substance while they are deployed. Bales said the steroids increased his irritability and anger.
Bales was charged with 34 criminal offenses from his deployment last year with Lewis-McChord's 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. There were so many criminal counts that Nance took 50 minutes to read them and ask Bales if he understood each offense.
He pleaded not guilty to one count of trying to impede an investigation. The Army agreed to drop the charge.
Bales did not remember all of the crimes. He could not tell Nance why or how he burned the corpses of his victims in the second village he attacked.
"I remember that there was a lantern in the room. I remember there being a fire after that situation. I remember going back to the (outpost) with matches in my pocket. To tell you I remember picking it up and throwing it on a group of people, I do not recall that," Bales said.

Video: Bad Lip Reading sequel released
Just if you thought the NFL couldn't get more entertaining this season, the people behind Bad Lip Reading released a sequel to its original bad NFL lip reading video.
The Bad Lip Reading guys take a poor aim at dubbing Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning interviews, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh's sideline drama, the tacky player introduction videos at the start of "Sunday Night Football" and almost any other situation imaginable this season in the NFL.
Bad Lip Reading released its first comical dubbing of the NFL last year, which has received more than 47 million views since.

Even Hosted Call Centers Have to Change With the Times
Millennials are more likely to consult their social networks online for a purchase than an industry expert. When they need support, they prefer to go online to find a solution before speaking to a CSR.
Cloud Platform by inContact Utilized by Financial Services Firm
inContact, a provider of cloud contact center software and contact center agent optimization tools, has announced that its core cloud platform has been selected by a leading financial institution.
Host With the Most: Start with the Best Contact Center Partner for Your Needs

Hosted Call Centers Getting Better: Survey
When it comes to contact center customer service, a new report says about 60 percent of consumers reported they've seen an improvement in the service since 2013.
Be Proactive in Building Valuable Customer Loyalty
Each time a contact center interacts with a customer, the primary goal (of course) is to answer the customer's question or resolve a problem. While this should be goal number one, there is another, more subtle goal: build customer loyalty and ensure that individual keeps coming back. While some companies are competent at the first task, the second goal is much more challenging. "Keeping customers happy" doesn't have a simple recipe or checklist to follow.
Tips for Selecting an Outbound Contact Center Services Provider
While outsourced outbound contact center services are a good option for many companies who wish to put their outbound campaigns in the hands of professionals, it's critical to examine the details. There are vast chasms of quality between different outsourced services providers. Before you look, know what you want.
Call Center Hosting Easier via the Cloud
The cloud is an attractive place for the contact center market, as it allows companies to expand their horizons without investing the necessary dollars to support a brick-and-mortar build-out.

Hiring is Up, but at What Cost?
The U.S. call center industry, after taking years of hits when the recession first began in 2008, seems to be looking brighter as of late. Many companies that were laying people off are now taking on call center agents in large numbers.
Hosted Call Centers Work Better With Happy Staff
The best headset is the one that lets call center reps answer calls. But there's more that goes into the right choice of a call center rep's headgear.
Hosted Call Centers Can Benefit from IVR, Too
It's not uncommon for a company to employ IVR technology to streamline common interactions or to launch a survey. If a consumer can easily answer a few questions before they end a call, you may be more likely to capture the actual voice.
Call Centers Need 'Engaged' Employees
The 'employee engagement funnel' may sound like some sort of human resources torture device, but in reality it's the metaphorical process that companies must urge employees through to attain high employee engagement.
inContact's Cloud Offering Put to Use Helping Consumer Protection
A consumer protection service company has tapped inContact's cloud contact center software to meet its needs as it expands.
Are You an Advocate for Your Employees?
Many companies are striving to build their reputations online and in social media through customer advocacy programs that induce happy customers to act as unpaid "brand ambassadors in social media settings."

A financial services provider has replaced its old premise system by deploying the inContact cloud solution. The company will now leverage the offering to connect two contact center locations with a 100 percent cloud platform.
How to Measure Agent Performance

Latin America Sees Potential Call Center Growth
A new report has found the contact center market in Latin America earned a healthy revenue of $260.4 million in 2013.
Engage Your Contact Center Workers for Best Results
Research tells us that most American employees are disengaged from their jobs, and this is a big problem. Engaged employees are far more productive and innovative, and are needed to grow a company successfully.
inContact Hosts Call center in the Cloud
inContact, a provider of cloud contact center software and contact center agent optimization tools, recently announced that its cloud software platform had been selected by a leading e-commerce firm.
Affordable Care Questions Still Vex Contact Centers
While the deadline for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period is long past, call centers, especially those in California, are still working the phone lines to help people who are waiting for their applications to be processed.
Hosted Contact Centers Anticipate Gains in Next 10 Years
At the heart of the call center, the phone is still the primary source of contact between customers and agents.
Say 'Hello' To Your New Hosts: Millennials
According to a recent blog post, millennials have some decent skills to bring to the table, and would be well-suited for the contact center.
Keep Call Center Staffers at the Top of Their Game
Contact center turnover is often very high, so many companies are hesitant to simply show low performers the door before trying to salvage that person's employment at the company.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?
Ask Mr. Smarty Plants is a free service provided by the staff and volunteers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Title: Native Plants for a Steep Slope in TN
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:Hello, I live in Knoxville, TN and have a very steep slope in our backyard. There is a lot of water erosion causing our grass to be covered with red dirt. I would love to try to plant something on this bank to keep it from eroding. It would be wonderful to have nice grass in our backyard. I'm not sure it is even possible, but would take any advice you could give me on any native plants, shrubs or trees that could help.
There's hope for you to have a great lawn in your backyard and a slope full of native wildlfowers too. The first place to go to find a list of potential slope plants for your backyard is our Native Plant Database. Use the Combination Search feature instead of Recommended Species. This will provide a bigger selection with much more choice to narrow down. The volunteers and staff at the Wildflower Center who maintain the database have put together an extensive database of plants and their characteristics for you to review.
Under Combination Search, select the following categories: TN, Habit – Herb (for herbaceous), Duration – Perennial, Light Requirement – Sun, Soil Moisture – Dry (because of the steep slope), and Size – 0-6 feet. This search criteria will give you many native plants to consider, but not all of them are appropriate for a slope.
Some potential herbaceous slope plants include:
Glandularia bipinnatifida var. bipinnatifida (Prairie verbena)
Oenothera speciosa (Pink evening primrose)
Some potential shrubs for the slope are:
Gaylussacia baccata (Black huckleberry)
Symphoricarpos albus (Common snowberry)
