|Updates on Patriots rules proposals, Michigan's Jeremy Gallon working out for New England and other notes from league meetings
|03.25.14 at 2:57 pm ET
ORLANDO — A few picked-up pieces to report from the NFL's annual meetings in Central Florida:
1. The proposal to extend the goal posts by an extra five feet "seems likely to pass" when voted on Wednesday, according to Judy Battista of NFL.com. An initiative sponsored by Bill Belichick and the Patriots, the coach said Tuesday that the idea of doing it certainly seems like a no-brainer. "Virtually every kicker at the combine can kick them over the top of the goal posts [and] some of those guys aren't even going to be in the league," Belichick said Tuesday morning when asked about the idea. "I'd say every kicker can do that." In addition, the other three proposals proposed by the Patriots are also scheduled to be voted on by the owners Wednesday.
2. In other end-zone related news, the league announced Tuesday it will penalize players who dunk on the goal posts in 2014. In the past, the league has cracked down on group celebrations, as well as using the football as a prop, so it would appear that this is the next step in the process. In addition, it was announced Tuesday that the NFL officiating department will help referees rule on instant replay reviews starting next season. Referees will now be allowed to consult with director of officiating Dean Blandino and his staff — who will be monitoring games from the league offices in New York — to help determine whether a call should be upheld or overturned.
3. This doesn't have anything to do with the goings on in Florida, but according to a league source, wide receiver and special teams coaches from New England were in Ann Arbor on Tuesday to work out wide receiver Jeremy Gallon. The 5-foot-8, 187-pound Gallon has put up impressive numbers over the last two years with the Wolverines, including 89 catches for 1,373 yards and nine touchdowns in 2013. He also posted good numbers as a return man, compiling 589 yards on 27 kick returns in 2010, and 192 yards on 31 punt returns in 2011.
4. Broncos coach John Fox was asked about the courtship process that brought former Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib to Denver, as well as comment on his thoughts on Talib as a player.
"We had an offer on the table to [Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie]. They were working through it. I don't get involved in this stuff'this is agents and [Director of Football Administration] Mike Sullivan. It's scholarships with price tags," Fox said. "We obviously are an appealing place but the reality is it comes down to the contract, usually. We were all over that and then it flipped and we were very pleased to get Aqib."
On Talib as a player: "He's long, he's fast, he's quick, he's tough. The only real negative is he had some off-the-field issues early in his career. I knew him even when I was in Carolina and he was in Tampa. I knew their coaches there pretty well. You get a pretty good feedback on players when you're in the division'even on other teams. I knew how he grew, got married, started a family and matured."
5. Reports continue to link running back Maurice Jones-Drew to the Patriots, with one story saying that Jones-Drew was going meet with the Patriots, Steelers, Dolphins and Jets this week in Orlando. (Jones-Drew has already apparently met with Pittsburgh, but has not received an offer from the Steelers.) It remains to be seen how all of this will play out — given the Patriots depth at running back, as well as the current state of the market, you would have to think they'd be more inclined to bring back LeGarrette Blount at a cut rate price instead of likely investing more in Jones-Drew. (Jones-Drew could also sit out until the summer to see if the market shifts and he's able to play one team against each other in hopes of reaching the reported $3 million annually he's seeking.) But it's certainly a situation that bears watching going forward for Patriots fans — even if he doesn't land in New England, two of the three other teams reportedly in the hunt for the diminutive back are in the division.
|Setting the scene from the Mile High City as Patriots battle Denver Broncos in AFC championship
|01.19.14 at 1:04 pm ET
DENVER — Mother Nature is apparently a big fan of the Broncos and Patriots.
In January weather more befitting of Florida or Southern California, sunshine and 67 degrees is expected for the 1 p.m. MT kickoff here in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, as the Patriots and Broncos do battle in ideal conditions for the AFC championship.
The temperature is expected to reach as high as 69 by halftime before cooling off in the evening.
If that holds, it will unofficially go down as the warmest outdoor game in Patriots playoff history.
On Jan. 12, 1986, when the Patriots beat the Dolphins, 31-14, the game-time temperature at the Orange Bowl was 64 degrees. It was officially 60 when the Patriots lost in the 1998 playoffs in Jacksonville. When the Patriots beat the Chargers, 24-21, in the 2006 playoffs it was only 53 and Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville was only 59.
Ironically, today's AFC championship is the 12th anniversary of the epic "Snow Bowl" at Foxboro Stadium, a game won by the Patriots over the Raiders, 16-13, in overtime in the last game ever played at the venue.
The two biggest injury question marks coming into the game appear to be the health of two rookie receivers that could challenge the Broncos secondary deep.
Kenbrell Thompkins continues to nurse a sore hip while Aaron Dobson is dealing with a stress fracture in his left foot. Both were limited all week in practice and both were questionable coming into the game. Dobson returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Colts playoff game.
The Broncos have won both previous playoff meetings against the Patriots in Denver, beating the Patriots 22-17 in the 1986 AFC divisional round and winning, 27-13, in the 2005 playoffs, the game most infamously remembered by New England fans by Champ Bailey's game-changing 100-yard interception return off a Tom Brady pass to the end zone.
The Patriots gained their revenge two seasons ago when they blew out Tim Tebow and the Broncos, 45-10, in the divisional round. Including Super Bowl XXXVIII, when the Patriots beat the Panthers, 32-29, Bill Belichick is 2-0 against John Fox in the postseason.
|Patriots-Broncos predictions: Media prognosticators lean toward Denver taking close game
|01.17.14 at 1:17 pm ET
One thing is clear about the predictions coming in for Sunday's AFC championship game between the Patriots and the Broncos — most believe it'll be a close game. Both local and national media favor Denver, but, like the score predictions, neither team has a blowout lead.
On WEEI's Dennis & Callahan, Gery Callahan was the only one to favor the Patriots. While Callahan thinks Tom Brady will lead New England to a 31-28 win, John Dennis (37-24) and Kirk Minihane (31-24) believe Denver will win it behind a Peyton Manning MVP effort. Minihane and Callahan predict the 49ers will take the NFC title, while Dennis projects the Seahawks will pick up the game on their own turf.
On Mut & Merloni, Mike Mutnansky is going with the Broncos, 35-28. Lou Merloni has the Patriots emerging victorious, 31-27. The two are split on the NFC game as well, with Mutnansky taking San Francisco and Merloni tabbing Seattle.
At SB Nation, the Patriots and Broncos split the panel, with Ryan Van Bibber, Jason Chilton and Stephen White leaning toward New England while Joel Thorman, David Fucillo and Matt Ufford predicting a Denver win.
ESPN's group of 13 panelists, on the other hand, favor the the Broncos. Merril Hoge, Adam Schefter, Mike Ditka, and Cris Carter project that the Patriots will come out with the win. Meanwhile Eric Allen, Mike Golic, Ron Jaworski, KC Joyner, Chris Mortensen, Mark Schlereth, Seth Wickersham, Tom Jackson and Keyshawn Johnson are sticking with Denver.
USA Today's panel of seven favors the Broncos 6-1, with Jarrett Bell, Jim Corbett, Lindsay H. Jones, Pete O'Brien, Tom Pelissero and Simon Samano favoring Denver. The lone vote for the Patriots came from Nate Davis.
Following are more predictions from around the country:
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Patriots 26, Broncos 23 – "The Patriots didn't need to play the Bengals, and blew by the Colts. Now that they survived to get to the Broncos, it's easier to trust them to advance. While the expected hype is around Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning, the real matchup is Bill Belichick vs. John Fox."
Don Banks, Sports Illustrated: Broncos 34, Patriots 31 – "It still sounds quite strange, but I think Tony Dungy had it right when he told me on Monday that this meeting of Hall of Fame-bound quarterbacks will likely come down to the running games, and the run defenses."
|Ex-Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker ready to face his old team again
|01.16.14 at 6:00 am ET
When asked Wednesday about Wes Welker and the impact he's had on the Denver offense in his first season with the Broncos, coach John Fox and quarterback Peyton Manning didn't mince words.
'He's been exactly what we thought we were getting," Fox said when asked about Welker. "Even people in the New England organization said that we would enjoy coaching him, and we have. He came in, made a pretty big impact. The fact that he was voted captain and just got here is a pretty good indicator of what his peers and teammates think of him. He's fit in in exactly what we thought he would be, and that's important.'
'Like Coach Fox said, a lot of things that I think a lot of people thought about Wes as an opponent all proved to be true once he joined us as a teammate," Manning said. "I always assumed that he was an extremely competitive guy that loved football and a guy that loved to work, he loved to practice. The way he played ' I saw him many a time play Colts versus the Patriots ' so to have him become a Bronco, all those things checked out.
"He's a gym rat. He loves the game, loves to work after practice [and] loves to talk in meetings about routes that he thinks might have a chance to get open," Manning added. "He's very knowledgeable of defenses and how teams have played him in the past, whether they've double-covered him or whatever it may be. So he's been a fun guy to play with, I'll say that.'
After six seasons in New England, Welker finished his first year with the Broncos with with 73 catches for 778 yards and 10 touchdowns in 13 games. After going down with a concussion that caused him to miss the final three weeks of the regular season, he returned to the lineup in last weekend's divisional playoff win against the Chargers, and had six catches for 38 yards and a touchdown.
Welker said that after his first game against the Patriots — which ended in a loss in his return to Gillette on Nov. 24, a game where he had four catches for 31 yards — he was able to get some of that nostalgia of facing his old team out of the way. Now, heading into this weekend's AFC title game, the focus is on football.
'It's still another game," he said Wednesday when asked about facing the Patriots. "You understand it is the AFC Championship, and everything like that. You want to go out there and prepare as much as possible. At the same time, it is still an opponent and it's a team and you're going out there and playing to the best of your ability and go out there and try to win the game.'
|Peyton Manning, Broncos teammates will enjoy win over Chargers before starting real prep work for Patriots
|01.13.14 at 6:15 am ET
In the wake of Sunday's divisional playoff win over the Chargers, the Broncos acknowledged they were going to take a few hours to enjoy the moment before moving on to prepare to host the Patriots in Sunday's AFC title game.
'Well, I think I'm just going to enjoy this one first," said Denver coach John Fox of the 24-17 victory over San Diego. "It hasn't sunk in. We'll dig into [the Patriots] tomorrow. We'll enjoy it tonight for what it is. We're very honored and pleased to be in that position.'
'We're going to address [the Patriots on] Wednesday," said quarterback Peyton Manning. "We'll certainly talk about them plenty on Wednesday. But, we'll enjoy this one. You're supposed to enjoy these wins. They're hard to come by, and we'll start working on the Patriots tomorrow.'
Two Denver players who have a history involving the Patriots are Manning and wide receiver Wes Welker — Manning because he's so connected to Tom Brady (this will mark the 15th time they've squared off against each other), and Welker because of the fact that he spent six seasons with New England before signing with the Broncos this past offseason.
"Tom Brady has just been an outstanding quarterback for such a long time, but the game next week is the Broncos versus the Patriots," Manning said. "I know there will be some individual matchups that will get headlines, but it will be a battle between two good teams. Teams that have been through a lot, that have overcome a lot to get to this point, and that's where my focus will be — trying to help the Broncos get a win against the Patriots."
'It's the AFC Championship game, so there will be plenty of juice," said Welker.
It'll be the second matchup of the season between the two teams — in the first game, the Patriots dug themselves out of a 24-0 halftime deficit to post a 34-31 overtime win.
Defensive end Robert Ayers said the Broncos are not going to be motivated to beat New England because of that November loss.
'That's not going to motivate me," Ayers said. "I can't speak for anyone else. That's not going to motivate me at all. That's the last thing on my mind. We have to go out there and try to win. Regardless of what happened last time, if we don't bring our 'A' game, we're going to lose. We're just going to focus on bringing our 'A' game. We are going to enjoy this victory for the night and tomorrow we're going to start back preparing and that is what we are looking forward to, just getting another win and moving one step forward.'
'We're looking forward to it," said defensive end Shaun Phillips. "Obviously we're the two best teams in the AFC because we're playing for the AFC Championship, so what more can you ask for? That's what you want as a football player. Tom Brady is my second favorite quarterback behind Peyton. I really like Tom. I think he's a great player and a great person, but what better way to do it? You want the two best teams going head-to-head, and that's what's going to happen.'
|Bill Belichick doesn't plan on 'doing anything differently' in light of John Fox, Gary Kubiak health issues
|11.05.13 at 9:41 pm ET
FOXBORO — Coaching in the NFL can be all-consuming. It can also be hazardous to one's short and long-term health.
One needs to look no farther than this past weekend's developments with John Fox and Gary Kubiak to see proof of that.
Texans coach Kubiak was released from a hospital Tuesday after suffering a transient ischemic attack during Sunday night's game against the Colts. According to the Broncos, Fox remains 'on track' to a full and complete recovery after undergoing surgery Monday to replace an aortic heart valve.
Bill Belichick, who normally gets away to a home on Nantucket, was asked Tuesday if the Fox and Kubiak cases make him think more about taking care of himself and taking extra time to rest during the bye.
"No, I don't feel that way," Belichick answered.
His daily routine would suggest the 61-year-old Belichick still takes superior care of himself, preparing for the rigors of the day-to-day demands of the job. He arrives early, runs and exercises regularly before beginning his day of planning, preparation and coaching.
"I'm comfortable with the schedule that I'm on and what I'm doing. I feel about what I feel normally at this time of the season which is good but it's not like you feel on July 28 when you start the year or whenever it is. I feel good. I'm planning on making it through the rest of the year. I don't really see, I don't really plan on doing anything differently."
|Adam Schefter on D&C: Dolphins OL Jonathan Martin 'felt threatened, he felt harassed' by teammate Richie Incognito
|11.04.13 at 9:50 am ET
ESPN's Adam Schefter joined Dennis & Callahan to discuss the ongoing Jonathan Martin bullying saga with the Dolphins, and the health issues of a pair of NFL coaches.
Miami announced on Sunday the indefinite suspension of offensive lineman Richie Incognito for his role in the alleged bullying of Martin, the Dolphins' second-year lineman.
Martin left the team for emotional reasons last week, before Miami's 22-20 overtime win against the Bengals on Thursday. A voicemail left by Incognito on Martin's phone was the smoking gun, according to Schefter.
'They went over the transcripts of one voicemail last night, and made the determination to suspend Richie Incognito immediately,' Schefter said, adding: 'Richie Incognito is on the Dolphins' leadership council. '¦ It's unbelievable to think that he wielded his powers the way that he did.'
The reported trigger for Martin's absence was a lunch room incident. According to ESPN, Incognito also approached Martin last summer to help fund a trip to Las Vegas with a group of Dolphins players. Martin donated $15,000 out of fear of retribution if he didn't, but he never joined his teammates.
'We've seen in the NFL, veterans take rookies out and rookies picking up big dinner tabs and things of this sort,' Schefter said. 'This went above and beyond that. This was an example where Jonathan Martin felt threatened, he felt intimidated, he felt harassed.'
It's unknown when Martin will return to Miami, and how long Incognito's suspension will last.
'The union is in a very difficult spot, because it is the union's job to defend Richie Incognito,' Schefter said. 'However, once the union gets a copy of this one particular voicemail, and the instances and text messages, the defense is going to be difficult to do.'

Texas has 19 coal-fired power plants, the most of any state. Those coal plants can release sulfur dioxide, a main ingredient of acid rain. The owners of the Fayette plant say pollution is not to blame. State regulators are also skeptical. But a Sierra Club botanist say it's not just drought — some leaves have the brown spots that are typical of acid-rain damage.
The Fayette plant is spending almost $500 million to install so-called air "scrubbers." That could reduce emission of sulfur dioxide by 90 percent. But the problem is not just around that plant. Farmers and ranchers near coal plants in Victoria and Franklin are also reporting that trees of all varieties are dying.
The Associated Press reports that the EPA is investigating.

Layton • The fifth annual Pallet Grand Prix on Friday had all the thrills and spills of a professional race: Cars zooming down the track, drivers focused on beating their competitors, a vehicle veering off course, spectators cheering wildly and excited winners crossing the finish line.
The event — held by PARC (Pioneer Adult Rehabilitation Center) in the parking lot of Layton Hills Mall — also had the special element of building awareness of the untapped labor pool of people with disabilities.

"It's just a fun, feel-good event for the community," said Chad Miller, marketing manager of the Clearfield-based PARC, a nonprofit administered by Davis School District that helps adults with disabilities learn life skills and find employment.
Seventeen companies and schools entered the grand prix and built cars out of wooden shipping pallets based on the theme of "The Hero Within." The cars and drivers' outfits referenced Superman, Captain America, Batman, Angry Birds (they protect their babies) and other heroes of the participants.
There were just a few rules for the cars, including no engines and brakes optional. The drivers were PARC clients and the power was supplied by two members from each race team who pushed the car down a 150-foot track.
The cars raced two at a time in elimination rounds. In the end, the Princess Power team of Melinda Gulbranson and Roben Rogers, who took turns in the driver's seat, won.
The two, appropriately dressed in pink princess dresses, were cheered on by a large crowd of supporters wearing princess power T-shirts. Their team was sponsored by"The Moms," a group of family members and friends of PARC clients who exchanged fist bumps with Gulbranson after her car finished first in the deciding race.
The princesses' competitors had just as much fun and everyone made it to the end of the race, despite a mishap involving the entry from Clearfield High School. As the car holding school janitor Jeff Weston was being pushed down the track, it suddenly lost a wheel and veered off course.
The students in the pit crew scrambled onto the track and carried the car, with Weston still behind the wheel, across the finish line.
Although he didn't win his round, Weston was happy with how the race ended. With a big grin on his face, he said of the students, "They are way cool."

Mission: The Park Leadership Fellows Program serves to attract the best and the brightest to Johnson, and to establish the School's reputation as the premier producer of world class leaders.
Vision: To develop and inspire the next generation of world class leaders through an experience based leadership program that is grounded in self-awareness and interpersonal mastery and manifests in an enduring legacy of service.
Personal Mastery is about knowing and discovering oneself for the purposes of understanding who you are as a leader, what developmental changes you want to make, and how you want to apply your talents in this world.
Challenges You to Grow as a Leader. You do not invent your natural leadership style, you discover it. This means stepping out of your comfort zone to face new challenges, to grow as a person, and to expand your realm of possibilities. Every act of leadership is an act of courage, and you will model this through the challenges you face in this self-discovery process.
And Empowers You to Pursue Your Passions. Confucius said to "find work that you love and you will never work another day in your life." We impel you early to take a hard look at this issue. If your professional aspirations are lined up with your passions, you will not only be successful, but also happier and healthier. The fellowship not only begs this question, but also affords you greater financial freedom to experiment with it.
An Innovative Vision. The two-year developmental sequence of class sessions and experiences that the Fellows go through together makes the Park Program a unique and powerful experience in management education. It is built on a principle of developing leaders from the inside-out, and it not only instills an inspiration for becoming the best that you can be, but also a desire to make a positive difference in the world.
Balancing Leadership Theory. The developmental sequence starts with a process of discovering leadership. As a Park Fellow, you will explore the leading theories and frameworks and have an opportunity to deepen your understanding of them through case discussions. You will also be asked to define leadership for yourself and to use that definition as a model to live by.
With Practice and Learning by Doing. Leadership development is like learning how to swim—you only learn after jumping in. So after reflecting on the intellectual frameworks of leadership and developing your own definition, you will apply your understanding through exercises, simulations, school activities, and service projects in the community. Each of these areas serves as a practice field for developing leadership skills along four broad dimensions:
Inspired Leadership. The result is a leadership ideal—visible, distinguished, and selfless—that all Park Fellows are inspired to attain. They are driven to excel, dedicated to excellence, and committed to the greater good. Moreover, their example of balancing professional achievement with personal contribution to the world, serves to inspire others to do the same.
A Diverse Group, Sharing a Common Commitment. One of the distinguishing features of the Program is its theme of diversity—"fro
The program enabled me to define a professional vision that encompasses a diverse set of personal values.
Perhaps the greatest reward of the program, however, was working with such an inspiring, impressive group; my Park class definitely shaped my business school experience, supported my career search and became true friends and mentors.
The Park Fellows Program helped me in ways that were subtle, but in the aggregate led to a higher degree of effectiveness and confidence, particularly when it came to interacting with others.
For professionals seeking leadership development and management expertise.
Professional certifications or advanced degrees may qualify for this accelerated MBA program.
Six options to concurrently earn two top-ranked Cornell degrees.
For professionals who desire leadership opportunities in the digital economy.

The highway – which runs through town as Queen Street – is where you'll find the bus stop and all essential services, as well as two workers' hostels that can find you employment picking and packing capsicums, amongst other things.

It now lies intact and encrusted in coral in 18–30m of water, and is home to turtles, rays, moray eels and huge schools of barracuda, mackerel and trevally, making for a staggeringly good wreck dive. Be aware that the wreck is in an exposed location, and it's not much fun diving here if the weather is rough; this is also a demanding site – deep, with strong currents and startlingly big fish – and it's best not to go unless you've logged twenty dives or more.

The Authority did have a the ultimate power in vampire society. Like Petrov aka "the Deep Throat" said in one Post Mortem during S3: "It controls every aspect of institutional vampire society, from the monarchs to the agenda of the American Vampire League, which operates so freely in your country. To its adherents it inspires an almost a religious devotion. It is the law. And it is infallible. Disobedience is unthinkable. It is the Authority that decided it was time for us to reveal ourselves to you two years ago. It is the Authority that empowers the monarchs so that it is a crime of treason for them to be defied."

text: The activist group found that along with employing underage workers, the factory's management would physically abuse workers and it failed to treat or compensate those with work-related injuries. Employees were also allegedly forced to work excessive overtime, sometimes as much as 11 hours a day with only one meal break, in extremely dangerous conditions. Additionally, those who reported product defect were fined severely, rather than rewarded.

Combine exercise with healthy, locally grown food and you have a good start on a healthy lifestyle. Everyone can join in learning what this means in practice by visiting Woodstock, Vermont, on Saturday, June 5, for "Trek to Taste," an event that combines outdoor exercise with enjoying a variety of seasonal, local foods. According to Peter Allison, Trek to Taste's coordinator, the event has grown from its origins several years ago as a series of walks designed to showcase the network of 30-some miles of hiking trails around Woodstock to one that showcases a host of local farmers, food producers and food products. Last year, some 400 people participated in various treks and tastes. This year...

from the FarmPlate Kitchen Consider making slightly over-sized sliders so they can't slip through the rungs on your grill rack.

English has got to be a tough language for the non-native speaker. Take the word "slider" for instance. It can mean a runner rounding third determined to break the tie. An Olympic slider rides a skeleton down a mountain. The Slider is an almost-forgotten T Rex album. In the past five years, a new slider has joined the etymological mash-up. Sliders are turning up on restaurant menus all over the place. They're two- or three-bite burgers than pack some serious flavor heat. Sirloin sliders are probably the most common, but pork, lamb and even chicken sliders show up fairly frequently. We like sliders because they give you lots of room for creativity. You can tuck a surprise bit of cheese into...

I like the idea of having Friday off and turning every weekend into a three day weekend. I did just that this week and spent Friday and Saturday lounging with visiting relatives and old friends, wrestling my brothers into Mother's Day Photo appropriate outfits, and eating more maple almond butter than is really acceptable.
However, it is almost two in the morning and sleep remains a wily and elusive fox, so carry on I shall with my updates for the list.
I'm still not back home, so I figured that planning what to start on when I return was a good (enough) start.
The first task I'm planning to tackle is 10. Take a cooking class. I've taken a few before both at Williams and Sonoma and at a private kitchen and I prefer the latter immensely. Gainesville has quite a few cooking classes; one of them is even through the University! Take Away Gourmet and Spice Up Your Life! seem like the best fit for me. I'm really leaning towards SUYL-it is more expensive but the class is much smaller (1 on 1) and I can pick whatever I want to learn. I think I'll treat myself as a belated birthday present.
Task 12. Learn how to make perfect croissants stems from my obsession with Uppercrust bakery. I go at least once a week and rarely leave with only one item. Their croissants are heavenly-I haven't been able to eat croissants from anywhere else in months because nothing compares. I have a feeling that HowSweetEat's recipe for croissants will give Uppercrust a run for the money. It also stands to reason that Julia Child, the queen of French cooking, knows her way around a croissant or two. To be sure that I achieve my goal of making "perfect" croissants, I really must try both recipes. Clearly, I have no aversion to butter.
Moving right along to task 14. Read an encyclopedia cover to cover. When I wrote that, I fully had the intention sitting down with stacks upon stacks of all of the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica and laboring through on my way to crossword champion glory. Then I realized that I wasn't looking forward to that and decided that the Marvel Encyclopedia is just as valid and (sadly) probably more relevant to my life. Also, my little brother already has this one and I don't think that he'll mind sharing. Hopefully I'll have this one finished up pretty soon.
And finally, task 29. Do a juice cleanse. After posting this list, it took me approximately 15 seconds to realize that I don't have a juicer, nor do I consider a 3 day juice cleanse sufficient reason to buy one. What I do have is a blender. A wonderful, durable blender that I picked up for $20 at Target a few years ago. I like to use my blender to make smoothies. Sometimes they involve ice cream and chocolate syrup. Normally, they have at least a little fruit. The point of the juice cleanse was to try something new that is also healthy and will leave me feeling more refreshed. Rumor has it that the green smoothie does all of that without making me buy a juicer. You just add bananas and spinach together with whatever other fruit you would like and a little water and you're done. Sounds like a plan to me!

Obama seeks to shift election debate to fight over tax cuts for wealthy amid economic unease
WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing sagging jobs numbers, President Barack Obama sought to recast the November election as a fight over tax fairness on Monday, urging tax cut extensions for all families earning less than $250,000 but denying them to households making more than that.
The president's pitch was aimed at painting Republican rival Mitt Romney as a protector of the rich at a time of economic unease, as Democrats intensify efforts to raise questions about the Romney's own wealth and offshore bank accounts.
Romney supports extending the federal tax cuts, first signed by George W. Bush, for all income earners.
Obama said if Congress passes a one-year extension for those making less than $250,000, voters can use the November election to decide the fate of the cuts for higher income earners.
"My opponent will fight to keep them in place. I will fight to end them," said Obama, flanked by a dozen people the White House said would benefit from the tax cut extension.
Companies win cut in pension contributions; critics say saving the plans is even bigger worry
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new law will let companies contribute billions of dollars less to their workers' pension funds, raising concerns about weakening the plans that millions of Americans count on for retirement.
But with many companies already freezing or getting rid of pension plans, many critics are reluctant to force the issue.
Some expect the changes, passed by Congress last month and signed Friday by President Barack Obama, to have little impact on the nation's enormous $1.9 trillion in estimated pension fund assets. And it is more important, they suggest, to avoid giving employers a new reason to limit or jettison remaining pension benefits by forcing them to contribute more than they say they can manage.
The equation underscores a harsh reality for unions, consumer advocates and others who normally go to the mat for workers and retirees: When it comes to battling over pensions, the fragile economy of 2012 gives the business community a lot of leverage.
"That wouldn't do our members any good" if the government forces companies to make pension contributions they can't afford, said Karen Feldman, benefits policy specialist for the AFL-CIO, the giant labor federation that supported the legislation.
New crisis looms in Egypt over fate of Islamist-dominated parliament
CAIRO (AP) — A new showdown loomed in Egypt on Monday as the country's highest court stood by its ruling that dissolved parliament last month, challenging the new Islamist president's plans to reconvene the lower chamber in defiance of the military.
If he goes ahead, Mohammed Morsi would be taking a dramatic step away from the outreach that characterized his first days in office. It's a tough fight, though, and the president could lose it along with more of his already diminished powers.
The military, which handed power to Morsi on June 30 after ruling the country for 16 months, delivered a thinly-veiled warning to the president, saying it would continue to support the country's "legitimacy, constitution and law" — language that means it will not stand by and watch the rulings of the country's top court ignored or breached.
At the same time, the Supreme Constitutional Court sent out a clear signal that it will not bow to Morsi's wish, saying in a statement after an emergency meeting on Monday that its June 14 ruling to invalidate the Islamist-dominated parliament was final and binding.
"Morsi's move sets the stage for a potentially very serious political and constitutional crisis," said Michael W. Hanna, an expert on Egypt from the New York-based Century Foundation.
UN envoy Kofi Annan seeking Iranian help in reviving his struggling peace plan for Syria
BEIRUT (AP) — International envoy Kofi Annan tried to rescue his peace plan for Syria by seeking help Monday from Iran, a staunch ally and military backer of President Bashar Assad's regime.
Before flying to Tehran, Annan said he had agreed on a new approach with Assad to stop the violence, which activists say has killed more than 17,000 people since the conflict began in March 2011.
Annan did not spell out the agreement or say what kind of involvement he saw for Iran in resolving the crisis. Anti-regime fighters dismissed any role for Iran in a plan they and some experts say has little hope of succeeding.
"Kofi thinks you can't have a political transition and solution without the Iranians on board, but this is still part of the understanding that Assad and the regime will be part of the solution — an idea many of us have given up on," said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center and an analyst on regional politics.
The United States has rejected Iranian participation in international meetings on the crisis in Syria.
Romney and GOP outraise Obama by millions in June, thanks to help of high-dollar contributions
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday said he raised $71 million in June for his re-election campaign, after Republican candidate Mitt Romney reported $106 million during the same period. It was the second consecutive month that Romney collected more cash and underscores the challenge for Obama ahead of November.
The grim news for Obama came as his campaign officials have publicly worried they were on track to lose the money race. Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, in an email to supporters just three days ago, said: "Their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election."
Obama is fighting on two fronts to keep the presidency: On one hand, he faces Romney's own war chest that pays for campaign operations. On the other, he has to push back against the hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to GOP-aligned "super" political action committees, or PACs, which have aired continual attack ads aimed at Obama and his record.
Indeed, wealthy donors have been instrumental in helping Romney beat Obama. When he broke fundraising records last month, Romney's campaign praised small-dollar donors it said made it possible. But it was actually a small and often wealthy number of donors responsible, who gave an average of about $2,400 each, according to an Associated Press analysis.
Like Obama, Romney often touts the high percentage of donors who gave less than $250, underscoring the perception that a large, grassroots group of Americans want him in the White House. Romney's campaign said that about 94 percent of 571,000 donors gave those amounts in June, or about $22 million.
As Europe's economy falters, younger adults struggle most to find jobs
BRUSSELS (AP) — Irene Fernandez lost her job with Spain's postal service five months ago, a victim of government spending cuts. Since then, she's been getting by on spending money from her mother and the $530 a month she earns grooming dogs for neighbors. Fernandez, 24, has had one job interview.
"This year has been the toughest," she says. "I am beginning to realize that things are going to be a lot tougher for me than for my mother's generation."
Europe's economic crisis is hitting young people like Fernandez the hardest. The youth unemployment rate is nearly 53 percent in Greece, 51.5 percent in Spain and 35 percent in Italy. In the 17 countries that use the euro currency, youth unemployment is a record 22 percent, twice the eurozone's overall unemployment rate of 11 percent, which is itself the highest since the euro was created in 1999.
The striking exception is Germany, where youth unemployment is only 7.9 percent, thanks to a vocational education system. (European economic statistics count those 15 through 24 as youths.) In the United States, youth unemployment — which covers ages 16 through 24 — was 16.5 percent last month.
Economists fear that years of unemployment could produce a European version of Japan's "Lost Generation" — the young adults who looked in vain for jobs in the 1990s and today find themselves permanently locked out of good careers. The longer young adults stay unemployed, the longer they contribute nothing to economic growth, consume government aid and increase the risk of social unrest.
Detroit mom questions how off-duty officer's gun went off during hug, killing daughter
DETROIT (AP) — The mother of a Detroit woman shot and killed while dancing with an off-duty police officer questioned Monday why he would carry a loaded gun at a party in his own backyard.
Police said Adaisha Miller was dancing with the officer early Sunday morning when she hugged him from behind. His gun, which was in a waist holster, went off, and the bullet punctured Miller's lung and hit her heart. She died at a hospital.
Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee described Miller's death during a Monday news conference as a tragic, "unfathomable" accident.
"Somehow, in the course of dancing with the individual to his rear and touching his waist, his Detroit Police Department-issued weapon discharged, striking Ms. Miller," Godbee said. "There is absolutely no indication that the officer placed his hand on his weapon at all."
Godbee implied contact from Miller appeared to have caused the gun to go off, but he stopped short of saying she pulled the trigger on the .40-caliber handgun.
Cruise, Holmes agree to settlement in divorce case; details not revealed
NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reached a settlement on Monday, legally sorting out their divorce with the same speed that kicked off their much-scrutinized romance seven years ago.
Just as Hollywood was settling in for what was expected to be a long and nasty separation, lawyers for the couple said the pair settled less than two weeks after Holmes unexpectedly filed for divorce.
"The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed," Holmes attorney Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement. Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, also confirmed the settlement in a statement: "Tom is really pleased we got there and so am I."
Representatives for Holmes and Cruse declined to elaborate on the agreement. Wolfe said in a later statement that terms of the settlement were confidential and will not be disclosed.
"We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life," the statement from Holmes' attorney said. "We thank Tom's counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution."
Blade Runner: Oscar Pistorius fires up debate over engineered limbs after making Olympic team
LONDON (AP) — Is manmade material superior to muscle? Are those blades better than real legs?
Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee runner, is taking the issue of disabled vs. able-bodied competition into new territory as he prepares for the London Olympics.
His inclusion on South Africa's team clears the way for him to become the first amputee runner to compete in the Olympics. And because it's the sporting world's biggest stage, his participation is likely to fire up the long-running debate over whether his flexible, carbon-fiber blades give him an unfair advantage.
Pistorius, 25, runs on Cheetah Flex-Foot blades, J-shaped limbs that are 16 inches (41 centimeters) long and weigh a little over a pound each.
Pistorius, whose lower legs were amputated when he was a baby after he was born without the fibula bones in his shins, has a personal best in the 400 meters of 45.07 seconds — almost two seconds off Michael Johnson's world record — and ran a 45.20 this year, both inside the top Olympic qualifying time.
Armstrong legal team stumbles as it takes USADA to federal court to block doping charges
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge handed Lance Armstrong a quick setback Monday as he went to court to save his seven Tour de France titles and his reputation as one of the greatest cyclists ever.
Armstrong filed a lawsuit aimed at preventing the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency from moving ahead with charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs throughout much of his long career.
But within hours, U.S. District Court Judge Sam Sparks in Austin dismissed the 80-page complaint. He said it seemed more intended to whip up public opinion in Armstrong's favor than focus on legal arguments.
Sparks, however, did not rule on the merits of Armstrong's claims and will let him refile the lawsuit. Armstrong attorney Tim Herman said he will do that, possibly on Tuesday.
The lawsuit claimed USADA rules violate athletes' constitutional right to a fair trial, and that the agency doesn't have jurisdiction in Armstrong's case. It also accused USADA's chief executive, Travis Tygart, of waging a personal vendetta against the cancer survivor who won the Tour de France every year from 1999 to 2005.
