The Bears
1a. Cornerback Peanut Tillman & Tim Jennings are both free agents next offseason and will be both the wrong side of 30 by then we dont have any kind of depth behind them who could be long term starters I would expect Tillman to be resigned but if Jennings has another outstanding season I doubt we invest the money in both at their ages.
1b. Defensive End Next season Julius Peppers is owed $16.3 million this year and even more next year with Jay Cutler due an extension along with the likes of Henry Melton & Corey Wootton who offer us longer term options on the Dline we could have a situation where Peppers is cut if he is we will need a new DE as pass rush is key in our D.
2. Centre Roberto Garza is done and will be a weak link this season let alone next he is a free agent and I cant see him being brought back in Aaron Kromers protection schemes the middle of the protection is more important than the tackles and Marc Trestman has stressed the importance of keeping Jay upright.
3. TE/Slot WR Marc Trestmans offence is all about attacking the middle of the field Martellus Bennett is a major upgrade at TE this year and if Earl Bennett can stay healthy he could be outstanding in this scheme from the slot but you can never have enough weapons and unless another TE or WR steps up during the season I would expect us to go after another weapon to attack the inside of the field.
4. Defensive Tackle depth as I said before pass rush is key in this scheme and grabbing another DT is never a bad thing.
5. Offensive Line depth even after drafting Kyle Long & Jordan Mills plus picking up Jermon Bushrod & Matt Slauson in FA there is still work to be done another guard or tackle would make plenty of sense at this point.

For the Cowboys
1. OG - Livings and Bernadue are not the answer. I hope a young guy like Leary steps up but if that does not happen Guard must be addressed high in the draft and seeing as how Romo is a 100m qb we must protect him.
2. DT - Ratliff and Hatcher will be 32 and 31 yrs old next season. We do have Lissemore and Crawford but neither guy is proven. DT will be a huge need next season
3. DE - Spencer is on the franchise tag and I highly doubt we pay him a big contract with guys like Dez, S.Lee coming up soon. Ware will also be 32 and DE is going to be a big need.
4. S - Safety has been a problem for yrs. We did draft JJ Wilcox in the 3rd this yr and Matt Johnson in the 4th last yr. Hopefully these guys or Church are the answer but if not Safety will be a need yet again.
Outside of that I think we are good around the board. We got Romo, we should be set at rb, wr, te. Our LB's and CB's are outstanding.
Oh my, I forgot OT. D.Free is garbage and unless he steps his game up to 2010 status or Parnell breaks out OT will also be a need. Basically imo the Cowboys should spend the entire draft in the trenches. Draft 4 d-lineman and 3 o-lineman. I would not have a problem with that at all.

Kansas City
The Chiefs are an enigma as some of their fans believe the team is loaded and poised for a playoff run. Im not one of these people. I expect a significant improvement, but nothing extraordinary. Im expecting 6-8 wins and to be picking somewhere between 10-16.
The Alex Smith trade has left KC without an R2 or R3 pick, pending an 8-8 record. Depending on how things shake out, a trade down is a possibility.
I dont think Alex Smith is a long term answer. If the Chiefs tank, it means Smith, once again, suffered a serious injury or he is not very good. If the Chiefs are picking top ten a QB could be the pick. Otherwise they might take one on day 3.
Huh? What about Jamaal Charles?, you ask, You do know KC used an R3 on Knile Davis as a complement, dont you?
Yes. I expect bigger things than weve seen ever before from Charles. So whats the problem? His contract. (http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/jamaal-charles/) The Chiefs really got a bargain deal on Charles and if they were smart they would rip it up after the season. If not, a holdout could be forthcoming. Its a very remote, minor day two possibility that the Chiefs would take an RB under these circumstances, but money changes everything they say. This would be a nightmare to we Chief fans.
Beyond Dwayne Bowe, the cupboard is bare. Fragile Donnie Avery will not be the answer. Unless Jon Baldwin breaks out, WR will be a high priority next offseason. Sammy Watkins should be a consideration. 2014 free agent, Philly WR, Jeremy Maclin could be an option.
I suspect the Chiefs do not come to terms with Branden Albert. He is either traded to a needy team during the season or after, or allowed to walk via FA in 2014.
The Chiefs OL is very unsettled at this point, regardless. Jeff Allen had a bad, bad, bad rookie year. Donald Stephenson is rumored to be a possible LG solution this year, as is Geoff Schwartz. Stephenson is too tall for the position (6-6, 312). His future is at OT, but is he a starter? Schwartz is a stop gap, valuable backup.
Andy Reid loves his OL. Even if the questions are answered by incumbents, dont be surprised if he takes one sometime. Philly OG/OT Todd Herremans makes a perfect 2014 FA signing too.
Tyson Jackson may not be a bust entirely, but he hasnt lived up to being the #3 pick in the draft, either. The Chiefs should cut ties with him in 14. Thus 34DE will be a necessity, unless little used Allen Bailey busts out. I like him, but who knows? Regardless, many folks think Dontari Poes upside is wasted at NT and would like to see him used more like Haloti Ngata. Well see what Reid and Hal Sutton think. In that 10-16 range, Stephon Tuitt DE or Louis Nix III DT fit nicely.
Theres a lot of hope that R4 pick Nico Johnson is the long term answer as Derrick Johnsons complement. I dont buy it. MLB could be a day 2 consideration in KC. This, not considering the Chiefs could sign Desmond Bishop.
Some say Tamba Halis play has slipped. I dont agree. Justin Houstin is just stealing some of his sacks. Still, Hali is not getting younger and his cap hit is getting larger. I doubt this warrants R1 consideration. I also dont see a good prospect in the target range. C.J Mosley or Karl Van Noy are not NFL 3-4 prospects at this point. Still KC must plan for the future without Hali in a year or two.
The Chiefs have a need at FS. Kendrick Lewis is average at best, has injury issues, and is a 2014FA. However the answer may be on the roster. Sean Smith has not been very special at CB thus far in his career. It could have been a scheme thing. I believe he has upside at FS if he doesnt work out at CB. Dunta Robinson may play FS at some point too, albeit a short term solution. Even R5 pick Sanders Commings is a remote possibility.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is a remote R1 possibility or a CB if the Chiefs move someone. More than likely this could be addressed on day 2.
IMO - In My Opinion

view, attitude, or appraisal.

The Packers needs will be determined by who we bring back from FA this upcoming offseason:
TE: Jermichael Finley is a FA, we won the Super Bowl with little to no TE production, but I would still think TT will want a contributing player there, but if none are available early, he won't reach for one.
WR: Thought we would take some receivers early this year, but the board allowed us to patch up RB and OL depth at the expense of WR, so this years draft could be where we go that route. Guys 6'2 or under who run good routes and are not body catchers are what GB usually looks for.
S: Will all depend on Jerron McMillian this year, if he's a stud, this isn't a need.
DL: Got Worthy and Daniels last year, Jones and Boyd this year, but Raji, Pickett and Wilson will all be FA's soon, might look to pick up another guy here if someone else falls.
Uh hello? You left off the 1 position you need to upgrade the most... QUARTERBACK!
Lol, obviously I'm kidding. But seriously how do you consider WR a possible need for your team? Jordy, Cobb, Jones is bout as good as it gets. I think you guys will find a way to keep em all unless Jones repeats 2012 cause then he will earn starter money somewhere else.

WR: This depends on who gets re-signed. The Giants have great WRs right now but Louis Murphy and Hakeem Nicks are both free agents after this year. Cruz and Randle would still be around but there would be no no. 3 guy and barely any depth so the team would either need to re-sign Nicks, Murphy, or both, or they need to draft a receiver or two.
G: LG Kevin Boothe is a free agent next year and with Justin Pugh now at right tackle there isn't really anyone to replace him on the roster. Pugh has been really impressive at RT and I think that will continue so I doubt they'll move him.
LB: Inside or outside, the Giants just need linebackers. The entire unit is just average with no real difference makers and not a lot of potential. Drafting a stud in the first or second round would really help. Jacquain Williams and Mark Herzlich probably have the most upside but neither is going to be a star, just solid contributors. The team could use a star.
DB: Some extra depth would help. Corey Webster and Antrel Rolle are aging, Stevie Brown is injured and Terrell Thomas has been healthy so far but who knows what will happen. Bringing in another young guy in the middle rounds would help.

For Vikings:
Tier 1:
Tier 2:
Tier 3:
Not on the list right now, QB, it is hard to place, if Ponder plays like last week, he is top priority to be replaced, and I'd fully expect the Vikings to move up, if Ponder plays like the end of last season, Houston and Packers where Peterson did well, but Ponder led the offense to the wins, then QB is a tier 3 need. Right now if I had to guess, I'd say he'd be a tier 0 need at the end of the season and we'd need to replace him, but we've played one week thus far.

Steelers will draft Offense in the 1st round. Steelers always alternate Offense and Defense. This is an Offense year.
1) Left Tackle. Mike Adams is a nice player, he can really excel at RT, so best to improve two positions. Marcus Gilbert shouldn't be starting. OL woes have been our #1 concern for way, way too long.
2) #1 WR. A tall matchup nightmare.
3) Tight End. Everyone but Heath is a bum. We need someone who can step in if Miller goes down. We have no other TE who can catch.
4) CB. Depth is a concern here, we should find an eventual replacement for Ike Taylor, who doesn't have much time left.
5) IOL. Foster is an ok fill-in at LG, but we can do better. Pouncey's knee injury came at a time where he will be going into next year as his last on contract. Steelers would want him to prove it before giving him a new contract. He either returns to form and prices himself out of here, or can't get it back, and we need to find his replacement.

Pryor is developing a miniature Tebow-esque type of following. But the reality is that he's still extremely underdeveloped as an NFL passer. I have little faith that he's going to become a Super Bowl caliber QB.
McFadden is in a contract year and doing nothing to earn said contract. A cheaper alternative is needed. Someone with the vision and lateral agility that DMC lacks would be nice. I'd start looking in Rd3.
Rod Streater is a nice player, but not a true #1. Denarius Moore is inconsistent, and sometimes just plain bad. I joked on a Raider fan site that we should maneuver up in the draft to take both Lee and Watkins. The more I ponder that joke, the more I lean towards thinking that might actually be an idea. In any event, a go to receiver is a must.
Mychal Rivera looks like a keeper, but not a starting TE. Nick Kasa has been invisible so far, but his upside makes him an intriguing prospect for the future. If a legitimate featurable TE is available, I wouldn't hate the idea of nabbing him.
We're bleeding to death at LG, and Mike Brisiel is only a stopgap on the right side. I'd address this position as early as Rd2.
Walker and Sims are good players on 1 year deals. Whether or not we retain both remains to be seen. Depth behind them is basically nonexistent. Depending on what we do with Sims and Walker, this could be a 1st round priority.
We all love Lamarr Houston, but he's never going to be a sack artist. Jason Hunter is a very good base end, but he also struggles to get to the QB. Depth consists of fringe players. If we drafted a DE who could also play with his hand up in Rd1, that would be just fine.
Nick Roach is an OLB masquerading as a MLB. He may be allowed to continue there. If so, I could envision McKenzie wanting someone to replace Kevin Burnett in the starting lineup outside.
Mike Jenkins and Tracy Porter are on one year deals. I like Phillip Adams as a prospective future starter along side DJ Hayden. But, with his concussion history, keeping him relegated to subpackages may be the better move. We may retain one of the two current starters, but we'll be needing another body here.
Kick/Punt Returner:
Jacoby Ford will be a free agent, and has underwhelmed thus far. He also struggles mightily to stay healthy. McKenzie and Allen both preach the importance of having a strong special teams unit, so I could see them burning a pick on a return specialist.

I'd personally put DE ahead of CB and DT over TE/Slot, but this is pretty accurate i'd say.

Buffalo Bills needs:
Top Tier
LG - Colin Brown is just downright awful, easily the weakest link on our OL
CB - Stephon Gilmore is a stud, and we resigned Leodis to an extension this year. We are hoping that Ron Brooks can take on that nickelback spot and Nickell Robey has been playing well, but anyone hurt and we are in trouble.
2nd Tier
TE - Scott Chandler is finally finding himself in this offense, but behind him we have nobody.
OLB - Kiko has MLB locked down and Manny Lawson has done pretty well at the one OLB spot, but if Bradham can't step it up, he could be a candidate to be replaced.
RB - C.J. is the clear cut starter, even though he is not doing the best of jobs right now, but Fred Jackson will be 33 before next year and Tashard Coice is an UFA
DE/Pass Rusher - We brought in Jerry Hughes to pass rush across from Mario, and Alex Carrington can do well when he is not hurt, but this team probably needs one more pass rusher.
3rd Tier
QB - We have E.J. Manuel and UDFA Jeff Tuel, after Kolb having to more than likely retire, we probably will take care of a #2/#3 QB through UFA. Be that as it may, it is still a need.
S Corey Graham
LB Preston Brown

Jazz Combo is one of 26 oil paintings by Ev Niewoehner on
display through Sept. 28
in the Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Art with a musical theme was a
natural one for Ev Niewoehner to paint.
The retired teacher lives in Nashville, Tenn., the epicenter of
country music. So his current show at the Lindsey Wilson College
Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery, "The Art of Music," plays on that
"I've lived in Nashville, the 'Music City,' my entire life so it
seemed natural to do a show with a music theme," Niewoehner
said. "A majority of the work I do has been music influenced and
based. Music is a universal language that people of all cultures
are drawn to."
Niewoehner's "Art of Music" show at LWC, which runs through Sept.
28, features 26 oil paintings of instruments and musicians in
either colorful settings or in impressionist scenes that reflect
instruments' shapes, sounds and moods they create. Musical
influences depicted in the paintings include classical, country,
jazz and Latin sounds.
A public reception will be held for Niewoehner at 3:30 p.m. CT on
Sept. 13 in the Begley Gallery.
"I've always had interest in art since I was a kid," Niewoehner
said. "My mother saw something in me and encouraged to pursue art.
Art class was my favorite in high school and college. I've worked
on art as a side project for most my life, until I retired from
teaching in 1992, where I focused all my attention onto my
Niewoehner, who will also speak to LWC classes on Sept. 13, said
he hopes his work can inspire and instruct aspiring artists at the
"I hope to give these kids some insight and the chance to talk to
someone who is the field of art," he said.
LWC Professor of Art Tim Smith said it is important to expose
students to professional artists.
"A lot of students think of art as either a avocation or as a
vocation, and they need to know how to go about getting their work
out there," said Smith, who is also director of the Begley Gallery.
"Most students don't understand how important it is to get their
work out there for public viewing and receive feedback from it. It
gives the students a chance to work with and talk with other
working artist and gather new perspectives on art."
"The Art of Music," by Ev Niewoehner, is on display through
Sept. 28 in the Lindsey Wilson College Lucretia C. Begley Art
Gallery. A public reception for Niewoehner will be held 3:30 p.m.

Texas Rules Ft. Hood Dead, Wounded, to be 'Casualties of War'
To the Obama Administration, the men and women who were shot down by Maj. NIdal Hasan at Ft. Hood in 2009 were victims of 'workplace violence.' But the State of Texas today declared them to be 'casualties of war,' and made them eligible for all of the benefits the state provides to people wounded in battle, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"Each of the active and retired military members who died in the Ft. Hood terrorist attack lost their life while assigned to duty in Texas or in support of the military in Texas," said State Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, whose office runs the Texas Veterans Land Board. "They were physically on duty in Texas and chose to remain until the time of their death in defense of both the citizens of the United States and Texas. Like Travis and Crockett, their spilled blood remains forever intermingled with Texas soil."
Patterson says the Texas General Land Office dates back to the founding of the Republic of Texas in 1936, and it's goal was to make sure that veterans of the Texas Revolution were given the land rights they were promised in exchange for their role in liberating Texas.
The Texas Veterans Land Board was created in 1946, to do the same for the Texans who helped liberate Europe and Asia in World War Two.
Among the benefits Texas offers to those who served in war, and those who were wounded in battle include below-market interest rate loans for land and home purchases, as well as for home improvements. The VLB also operates eight Texas State veterans Homes that serve more than a thousand veterans and their families. It also operated four dignified places of rest for the free burial of veterans with full military honors at Texas State Veterans Cemeteries.
"This wasn't workplace violence, these were casualties of war, and we are going to change the rules to give these families full access to VLB benefits, Patterson said. "We will let the lawyers work out the details, but I intend to make sure we honor their sacrifice."
Patterson says an 'exception' will be made for Ft. Hood casualties to rules which require that recipients of VLB benefits must live in Texas.

We don't do anything yet but I plan to for the future. We just moved to a new state and don't have a church to attend for Easter (at least right now) and no family events to go to so we probably won't buy anything special until next Easter

Yes, In fact I have been telling my husband that we need to look for our little guy's Easter outfit as I would like to go have his picture taken and I am hoping that he will also be able to wear it for an upcoming wedding. We look all over the place to find just the right outfit. Last year it came from Costco. This year...fingers crossed, it just might come from Children's Place.

Ballerinas' Brains Adapt To Spinning
The brains of ballet dancers can physically adapt to spinning around.
A new study by researchers at Imperial College London has found signals between the inner ear and the brain that normally cause dizziness appear to be suppressed in longtime ballet dancers.
This new information may help patients who experience chronic dizziness. One in four people get the condition at some point in their lives, and once doctors figure out how ballet dancers' brains suppress the signals, they'll be able to develop a treatment for chronic dizziness.

Team Admits Staging Fake Proposal, Rejection
(NEWSER) – The hundreds of thousands of people who cringed in embarrassment (or laughed) at a guy having his marriage proposal publicly shot down can stop cringing (or laughing). Turns out it was all a hoax by a minor league baseball team, reports the Hartford Courant. The video went up on YouTube last week and shows a man on bended knee being rejected by his supposed girlfriend at a New Britain Rock Cats game. It's been viewed more than 700,000 times and gotten coverage at ESPN and elsewhere.

Thanks to all who replied to my previous questions. Those functions work
fine now. Here is another question - I apologize if it has been asked before.
I need a function
that returns True if expr, which is generally a flat list, contains
only integers or floating point numbers, and False otherwise.
Rational numbers such as 1/2 are considered symbolic for this test; so is
\[Pi] or Sqrt[5]. Appearance of any symbol, as in 2.0*a+3.5, makes it False.
As in previous questions, this should work on versions >=4.0.
Use: unified printing of simulation data structures in table formats.
Expressions containing only integers or floats are filtered through
PaddedForm[] and ToString[], others through Symbol[]. The end
result (a flat table of strings) is filtered through TableForm with
appropriate options.

Now a Hurricane, Arthur Heads for the Carolinas
(NEWSER) – Arthur strengthened to a hurricane early today, threatening to give North Carolina a glancing blow on Independence Day, prompting the governor to warn vacationers along the coast not to risk their safety by trying to salvage their picnics and barbecues. "Don't put your stupid hat on," warned Gov. Pat McCrory as the first named storm of the season prompted a hurricane warning for much of the North Carolina coast and a mandatory evacuation for visitors to the Outer Banks' Hatteras Island. In addition to the hurricane warning, tropical storm warnings are in effect for coastal areas in South Carolina and Virginia.

I have read in an article that a website with average on page optimization but with rich anchor texts can rank higher in the search engines very easily. I was thinking that I too should experiment over this and see myself if anchor text do any affect in my keyword's SERP. But before that I would like to know form you guys that has anyone of you tried this concept or do you have any experience in this regards ?? Please guide me I am a NOOB in SEO. Thank you in advance.
I have never set out to carry out an experiment like that – for the simple reason that I've always used rich anchor text and encouraged people to do so when linking to my sites. Most of my sites do pretty well in Google. There could well be a connection between those two points.
It's pretty clear that if you have one link that just says
sitepoint.com
It's pretty clear that if you have one link that just says
sitepoint.com
and another one that says
Sitepoint – a great resource for web designers
, Google is going to find the second one more helpful (as are people reading the page), because it is more descriptive and tells them what the link is about.
Nice tips, Dear Advisors Steve D.Can you please share the the perfect way of using anchor texts. can we use exact keywords as anchor. some people sayingkeywords 60% Barnd name 40%. Is that the right way. i need you to give me the perfect way of this method.
Hi emizrglobal, there isn't a perfect formula when it comes to the usage of anchor text simply because a formula will lead to abuse by webmasters who are trying to spam the search engine rankings with crappy content.
The idea to rank well is to host quality and useful content on your website that people will link to naturally with their chosen anchor text. If you have 10 inbound links to a page on your website and all the 10 links are using the same primary keyword as anchor text, a red flag will be raised by Google bots to its system because this is, in a way, unnatural. Most people link to other web pages using the website's brand name, action words such as "click here", "check it out", "learn more", or a phrase describing the web page they are linking to (as shared by Stevie) as the anchor text rather than just the primary keyword.
Just remember that you should always diversify your anchor texts to ensure that they are natural. Creating thousands of backlinks using the same anchor text is a bad idea. At least have several different keywords, relevant keywords, synonyms as well as some generic ones such as click here, here or sometimes just bare URL would do.

I would love to erase this ridiculous holiday from the calendar. But thanks to elementary school, I have been an unwilling participant in themed parties, a begrudging baker of bake sale goodies and a grouchy shopper of paper valentines.
If we're going to talk about Valentine's Day, be forewarned. It's going to get a little Grinchy. Because I would love to see this ridiculous holiday erased from the calendar, along with its meddling friends, Mother's Day and Father's Day.
My husband and I have an agreement to never celebrate Valentine's Day. No dinners, no flowers, no cards. And we like it that way.
Sadly, elementary schools have no such agreement. For the past few years, I have been an unwilling participant in themed parties, a begrudging baker of bake sale goodies and a grouchy shopper of paper valentines.
Oh, how I loathe you, pack of 32 Hallmark valentines. Why try so hard with your multitudinous themes and tepid love notes? Because you have the life span of a Mayfly and will soon be in the bottom of trash bins everywhere, populating landfills with your impersonal cartooned messages. When my kids bring home their decorated bags stuffed with those flimsy rectangular valentines (and the more ambitious homemade kind fashioned out of construction paper, lollipops and doilies), they end up in the recycle bin before dinner.
Alas, again I found myself in Target, deep in the belly of the red and pink valentines aisle, selecting two boxes of 32 Lego Star Wars Hallmark Valentines. ("Valentine's Day, it is. Have a happy one, you must.")
My boys will fill out the names of all of the kids in their classes next to the "To:" line. They will sign it in the "From:" line. They will add them to the valentine decks of their classmates. If valentines are given selectively, people's feelings could get hurt. If everyone gives one to everyone, it seems a little mechanical. Either way, the sentiments are heading for the garbage.
Maybe the approaching Winterfell snowpocalypse will take care of this for me by forcing school to close on Friday. Then the only valentines my kids will get will be the hugs and kisses from my husband and I that they enjoy every day, no matter what the calendar says.

With all eyes on him, Daniel Henderson limped up to a podium in San Bernardino Superior Court to finally address the man accused of shooting him three times, permanently disabling him.
On Friday, the 39-year-old man - who now relies on the assistance of a cane and has his wrist wrapped in a brace - unfolded a hand-written letter and started reading a statement he had penned the night before.
First, Henderson thanked Jehovah for the privilege to continue living. Then he thanked law enforcement, the judge, Deputy District Attorney Denise Yoakum and jurors for seeking and serving justice.
Then he addressed his convicted attacker, Cedric Williams.
"I pray that your sentence serves the same bitter taste of immobility and pain that awaits for me the rest of my days," Henderson said.
As part of the legal process, Henderson was given a chance to deliver his statements before a judge decided what kind of sentence the defendant would receive.
"We're glad that victims like Daniel Henderson come forward," Yoakum said after the hearing, adding that without them, officials couldn't investigate gangs as well.
Williams, a 31-year-old Compton gang member, was sentenced to nine years in state prison for attempted murder on Henderson, plus 25 years to life for a gun charge.
"He got what he deserved," Henderson said after the hearing, adding that he was happy about the outcome.
"This whole thing woke me up," he continued. "I lost a lot, don't get me wrong, but I gained a lot too."
On Dec. 23, 2010, Henderson got off work and went to his Highland home. After talking with his wife, he walked to a nearby store to pick up a few items.
On his way back, he passed a man standing in a field. That man started to follow and when Henderson turned around he noticed the man holding his hand near his waistline.
"He said, `You lookin' at me like you know me,"' Henderson recalled.
Henderson said he recognized Williams and had seen him around the neighborhood but did not personally know him.
Williams then called out the name of his street gang - Spook Town Crips.
Henderson, who is not a gang member, turned around and started walking. That's when Williams opened fire, authorities said, and Henderson heard shot after shot after shot
Five shots were fired. Henderson was struck three times.
One bullet damaged the nerves in his right arm. Another shattered the femur in his left leg. The third shattered his pelvis.
"My life has been changed forever," said Henderson, who now has a metal rod in his leg. "I will never do 95 percent of the activities that I loved. I have children that I can't run with anymore."
The trial started Sept. 27. Two and a half weeks later, the jury came back with a guilty verdict.
Williams denied the charges and plans to appeal the verdict.
Initially, after he was shot, Henderson said he did not want to identify Williams. It took him a month to report the attack to police.
"I have a wife and three kids; I feared for them," he said.
But Henderson eventually worked up the nerve to get involved. And for that he is happy.
"The way he did it to me ... it was like, `You've done that to other people and you're going to do that again,"' he said.
Before the shooting, Henderson said he questioned the justice system and its procedures. But since he has been thrust into the heart of it, Henderson is now a firm believer.
"Please have faith in our justice system," Henderson said, offering encouragement to other victims. "Don't judge police, and please, please, please don't be afraid."

POLICE, firefighters and Gloucestershire County Council highway officers are out in force dealing with flooding across the county.
Heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has led to flooding on road throughout the county, particularly in the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean.
Although many improvements have been made the county's drainage systems since the devastating floods of 2007, the rain has caused problems.
The worst affected areas are the B4008, A38, A419, A40, A48, A4173 and A429, although drivers should expect standing water on most roads.
GCC highways officers have been taken off normal duties and are out in force cleaning gullies and pumping water from roads around the county.
Gloucestershire police have also closed some roads and the county's Fire and Rescue Service has responded to calls from Dursley, Berkeley, Cheltenham, Newent and central Gloucester.
Firefighters have been pumping water from roads and gardens where needed.
GCC area highway manager Jason Humm appealed to the public to help with efforts to alleviate flooding where possible.
"Our teams are out all over the county responding to any emergency calls we get and clearing away free standing water where necessary," he said.
"At the same time, members of the public are asked to help if it is safe to do so.
"If you're passing a drain with leaves on, kick them off or sweep them away as this will help prevent blockages, or if you see any obvious obstructions to the standing water which can easily be solved, and it is safe to do so, then please help out.
"While this rainfall is going to cause disruption, I would encourage people to remain calm and to take extra care if they're out driving on the roads."
Although rain is expected to stop this afternoon, more rainfall is forecast tomorrow and the ground will remain saturated so localised flooding could occur again.
Drivers are advised to take extra care and allow for extra time for their journeys.
Some schools have been closed for the day, full details can be seen at gloucestershire.gov.uk/closedschools

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Senior Named Player of the Week
October 11th, 2010 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College senior Erin Pugh (Terre Haute, Ind.) was named Women's Soccer Player of the Week by the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) for her performances in matches in the first week of October. Pugh, a forward, scored once in a victory over Trine University and set a new Pomeroy single match record with four goals in a victory over Berea College. A graduate of Terre Haute North Vigo High School, Pugh earned a number of honors, including USCAA All-American and All-Tournament Team selection at the 2009 USCAA National Tournament. She has scored eight goals in the first nine matches of the 2010 campaign, on schedule to possibly break her 2007 mark of 13 goals in a single season.
Coach Mike Aycock has high praise for Pugh's accomplishments. "Erin consistently brings everything she has to a match," he explains. "Even when we're not controlling possession as much as we'd like, we can be dangerous because Erin is making runs, creating shots, and getting things done in the attacking end of the field," Aycock added.

Hearts, heads, voices and muscles will be tools for celebration as area residents celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at events this weekend and early next week.
Scheduled gatherings focus on preaching, speaking, praying, eating, singing and working, in a variety of combinations.
The federal holiday honoring King's life and work is on Monday, but the University of Redlands will present its tribute on Sunday because of another important Monday event: President Obama's inauguration.
"We didn't think we should compete with that," said U of R Chaplain John Walsh. "This (timing) honors both Dr. King and President Obama appropriately."
Students will offer music, along with spoken-word selections from King's writing and speeches. Speakers include Walsh; Leela MadhavaRau, director of the Center for Diversity and Inclusion at the U of R; and San Bernardino Valley College Professor Ed Gomez, who chairs the city of Redlands Human Relations Commission.
The whole community is invited to the free annual event, which is at 7 p.m. in the University's Memorial Chapel, and expected to last about an hour.
"It is very much town and gown," Walsh said.
Inauguration Day is usually Jan. 20, but moves to the following Monday when the 20th is a Sunday, according to the website www.inauguralscholar.com. This is the seventh time that has happened, and the second time the relatively new King holiday has coincided with a presidential inauguration. The first time was President Bill Clinton's second inauguration in 1997.
On Monday morning, the Redlands Family YMCA's annual MLK Day of Service offers a chance to do some work in memory of Dr. King, said Darwin Bennett, CEO of YMCA of the East Valley.
From 9 a.m. to noon on Monday, more than half a million people are expected to donate time and talent at Ys across the nation.
"At the Y, volunteering is part of our DNA," Bennett said.
The Redlands Family YMCA's project is weeding and re-planting of the parking lot landscaping, Bennett said, as well as some general exterior cleanup and beautification.
All workers 5 years old and older are welcome, but children must have an adult along. Organizers encourage all workers to bring gardening gloves and a trowel or shovel.
To participate, contact Greg Fields at email@example.com or 909-798-9622, ext. 245.
The Y will provide coffee and doughnuts, but more substantial sustenance is available at 7:30 a.m. Monday at the annual Martin
Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast, a few miles down Interstate 10 at the National Orange Show, Orange Pavilion, 869 S. `E' St., in San Bernardino.
The keynote speaker is Bishop L. Daniel Williams, senior pastor at the Baptist Church of the New Covenant in Norwalk, former president of both the Baptist Conference of Los Angeles and Southern California and the Progressive Baptist Convention of California.
Tickets to the breakfast, sponsored by the Inland Empire Concerned African American Churches, are available in advance by calling 909-887-2526. Cost is $20 for adults and $10 for children. For more information, call the IECAAC at 909-474-7036.

Ginnifer Goodwin's Eco- and Wallet-Friendly Correspondents' Dinner Dress: H&M!
No Marchesa for Ginnifer Goodwin! The actress wore a wallet- and eco-friendly dress from H&M to the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Details here!
-Lucia Peters
We already know that H&M has been moving up in the world lately; with collaborations with high-end designers like Versace and Marni, no longer is the brand solely for the broke college student who dreams of a closet full of high fashion outfits. And hey, guess where else their stuff has been appearing lately? The White House Correspondents' Dinner!
On Saturday night, Once Upon a Time star Ginnifer Goodwin was among the many celebrities who scored an invitation to the dinner—but unlike many of them, her dress didn't cost thousands of dollars. Her romantic little H&M number only cost a wallet-friendly $299; but more importantly, it's eco-friendly too!
Ginnfer's gorgeous, frothy confection of a dress is part of the brand-new H&M Exclusive Glamour Conscious Collection. This eco-friendly line of dresses and separates has been making big waves with the stars lately; according to People, its pieces have graced the red carpet on the frames of such stylish celebs as Michelle Williams and Viola Davis.
Read Charlize Theron + More Celebs Who Were Fab or Drab at the Correspondents Dinner
Made of silk and organic cotton, the elegant light grey gown features a fluffy skirt with asymmetrical raw-edge ruffles and a textured sleeveless bodice. Ginnifer gave it a personal touch by adding a black belt, and she finished off the look with a gold clutch and dramatic red lips. For the event, she told People, "I wanted something that was very earth-friendly. That was critical." Unsurprising, given the actress' predisposition to work for good causes (you can still pick up a pair of the shoes she designed with Milk and Honey to benefit the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!).
If you want to snag the dress for yourself, though, you'll have to act fast; it's a limited edition piece. Only 1,000 of them were made, and each is individually numbered. So hurry! Hie thee to thy local H&M and grab one before they're all gone!

Get your travel planner out for flight fifty-seven of the Bible from 30,000 Feet. On this flight, our tour guide Pastor Skip will take us through the books of Titus and Philemon. While the letter to Titus focuses on the importance of sound doctrine and the elements of the church order, Philemon takes a more personal approach and speaks on the application of the great principles of Christian brotherhood to social life. The key chapters to review are Titus 1-3 and Philemon 1.
The letter itself identifies Paul as its author. The letter was probably written in the summer of a.d. 66, after Paul's return from Spain in the spring of that year, or perhaps in AD. 63 from Corinth. He probably wrote Titus before traveling to Nicopolis, where he spent the winter. Paul's letter to Titus was designed to establish the basic elements of church order and witness. It achieves this by emphasizing the need for purity in leadership and soundness in doctrine.
c. 63-66 A.D. Letter written to encourage Titus
This brief letter focuses on Titus' role and responsibility in the organization and supervision of the churches in Crete. Throughout the letter Paul stressed the importance of sound doctrine. The letter is structured around three different appearances of God's grace, each one of these appearances functions as the basis for instruction and behavior. Considering the smallness of the book, Paul mentioned "good deeds" many times.
Crete Fourth largest island in the Mediterranean. When Paul went to Rome as a prisoner, the ship sought refuge from a storm at Fair Havens on Crete. Paul may have visited the island after his imprisonment in Rome.
Nicopolis Name means "Victory City." Paul directed Titus to go there after leaving Crete. Of the nine cities by that name, Paul probably meant the one situated northwest of the Gulf of Corinth.
Paul Born around 10 A.D., a Jew in a family of Pharisees and a Roman citizen as well. Paul was a very zealous in his persecution of the church until he met Jesus on the Damascus road. He had two hearings before Caesar Nero.
Titus Joined Paul's ministry about 50 A.D. He was a Gentile Christian who didn't observe Jewish traditions. He delivered Paul's letters and helped solve church problems when Paul was not available.
Artemas Christian coworker with Paul, whom the apostle considered as a replacement for Titus on the island of Crete.
Tychicus A "beloved brother" who accompanied Paul in his trip to collect and deliver the offering for the Jerusalem church. He served as the courier for Paul's letters to Ephesus, Philemon, and the Colossians. Paul mentioned Tychicus twice in his later letters, first sending him to Crete to be with Titus, and later mentioning to Timothy that he had sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
Zenas the Lawyer Lawyer whom Paul requested Titus to help with his travels in Crete.
Apollos A Christian Jew from Alexandria who was an eloquent preacher at the time of Paul's missionary journeys. Paul described him as waterer of the seed that Paul had planted as the founder of the church.
Church Historian Eusebius, who wrote about three hundred years after Paul wrote, said Titus stayed on Crete and became the island's first bishop.

A new invention with significant precast potential incorporates concrete not only into the deck but also the floating structure in aquatic applications.
Inventor Jerry L. Mattson of Lake Ozark, Mo., has patented a "Concrete Module for Floating Structures and Method of Construction," which he touts as a less-expensive solution to many structural and assembly problems. Mattson's patent, issued March 13, 2001, was not assigned to a third party.
These modules can be configured to form a water break, wharf, walkway, dock, or another structure of variable width and length, including a dock with one or more boat slips, without any modifications to the modules. In simplest terms, the invention includes a module with a buoyant center core and a lightweight expanded shale or lightweight concrete outer shell. Each module has lengthwise and widthwise passages, which connect modules with rods or cables. These passages stay above the waterline under loading. The top of the module has reinforcing ribs for strength. The sides of the modules may be concave to allow the modules to fit together securely without bowing or bending. The modules have common sizes and connecting passages, and they are designed to allow inclusion of custom-designed docks and other floating structures.
Brackets also are available for attaching posts, buildings, rails, cleats, and many other items to the assembled structure.

A BETTER-REGULATED MILITIA: It is time, apparently, to ban rocks.
Rocks, tire irons, sections of 2x4s, arsenic, kitchen knives and iron skillets. All these things, in the wrong hands, can kill, we were reminded idiotically by way too many people last Friday and in the days following the massacre at Sandy Hook.
The level of debating-skill sophistication always plummets, along with the national mood, each time one of these assault weapon-enhanced mass killings takes place. The rapidity with which gun advocates remount their arguments in favor of their weapon of choice and in passionate defense of the breathtaking range of their killing efficiency makes one imagine that they're dispatched like an army by the National Rifle Association, even as the NRA stood semi-graciously mute for a while after the latest school murders.
The depthless observation that "guns don't kill, people do" is still hauled out after all these years as a reason to not regulate the innocent gun, which only wants to sit in a nice walnut case all day or maybe do a little varmint huntin' now and then.
The fact is, that guns really don't kill on their own. We'll give 'em that one. But a shooter can do a lot better job as a killer with a gun. And the more rounds that gun's magazine can hold, the easier it is for that person to kill more people. Make it a semi-automatic (full automatic is ideal, but, thanks to a stray bit of sanity, illegal for most of us to own) and you can kill with your eyes closed. Guns don't kill, people do. Together, they make a great team.
The next level of deep thought is, again, woefully predictable and illogical. Stop us if you've heard it: Knives kill people (well, no, people kill people, but we get what you mean), tire irons kill people, rocks kill people. And here's the topper: Automobiles kill people. Are you going to outlaw knives and rocks and cars?
OK, no, we're not - nor is anyone, or hardly anyone - seeking to outlaw guns. After all, we need our well-regulated militia in order to defend ourselves against a government gone amok, as per the poor and abused Second Amendment, whose authors are kicking themselves in their graves for not having the foresight to anticipate an AR-15 assault rifle, never mind that weapon being maddeningly available at some 1,700 Wal-Marts, the nation's No. 1 seller of firearms in the U.S.
People - some of us - are merely seeking regulation. What kind of regulation? Anything at all would be nice: Banning assault rifles of any stripe would be a good start. Closing the second-market means of buying guns without so much as a cursory background check by purchasing firearms at guns shows and on the Internet. Limiting the capacity of the gun's magazine to however many rounds it takes to defend your home or kill a deer. Making background checks a tad more thorough - in some civilized countries you're required to have a couple of people vouch for you when you apply for a gun.
Gun control is not going to end killing. Killing will go on as a long as there's still a rock left on this planet. It's not going to end mass murders. But it will save lives. That's undeniable. How many lives will it save? We don't know. What's the number gun fanatics need to have in front of them before they'll agree that regulation is necessary?
Did we say "gun fanatics?" We meant "gun nuts." Too often these aren't mere Second Amendment defenders who cleave to every clause of the constitution. Here, we're talking about the people who fear that their prized arsenal of sophisticated weaponry will be snapped up by bellicose pacifists in Washington and who go into a hoarding frenzy at the first rumors of peace.
When our president gave his beautiful and gently stern eulogy in Newtown on Monday, you could hear pickups firing up all across the country as people flocked to gun stores and discount chains with smiley-face icons to pick up an armload of assault rifles and other firearms - and plenty of ammo, because those bad boys can spew out a couple hundred rounds per minute even if you have a lethargic trigger finger.
Gun sales spiked ferociously after the Aurora, Colo., theater slayings; they spiked when Obama was re-elected; they're spiking now.
And it's all because Obama is hinting that the country might be moving in the direction of compassion and common sense. For some people, that's a frightening prospect. For the rest of us, it's a reason for - what's the word that's always used? - hope.

Welcome to your one-stop resource for voter registration and information at The New School. This guide will assist you in registering to vote in New York state or your state of residency. Please consult the links to the left for information about registration, voting, electoral issues, and how to volunteer on campus.
For more information, you may call the Office of Student Development and Activities at 212.229.5687.
In order to register to vote in New York State, you must be a U.S. citizen, 18 years old by December 31 of the year in which you apply, and live at your present address at least 30 days before an election. This means that most New School students can choose to vote in New York by registering with their
local addresses or they can register with a home address and vote in that jurisdiction. If you have registered to vote in more than one location because of a move, you should vote at the location in which you registered last.
Most students have the option to register to vote at either their home address or their local residence. It's important to decide where you will register, as some states are quite lenient and allow same-day voter registration and absentee ballots while others are stricter and require registration a
month before the election and restrict out-of-state voting.
Information about voting and registration in all 50 states can be found at
vote411.org. The "Voting in Your State" section is particularly useful because it provides deadlines and residency requirements.
The "Register to Vote" button brings you to a page that asks you to provide your email address, to either enter your zip code or choose your state from a drop down menu, and to select register to vote from the list provided. Once you have supplied this information, you will be
taken to a registration wizard that will walk you through the voter registration form for your state.
You might also want to use the "On Your Ballot" section of the
vote411.org website to learn about issues and candidates in your state. Once you enter an address and zip code, the website will provide local candidate biographies, positions, and major issues in the election.
Approximately two or three weeks after you submit your form — by mail or to The New School — you should check to make sure that it was received by your local Board of Elections and that you have been entered into the system correctly, so that there will be no problem when you
arrive at your polling place to vote. Use the following websites to check your voter registration status.
Information about casting a provisional ballot — if your polling place does not show you as a registered voter — is available in the easy-to-use state-by-state guide of voting procedures assembled by the League of Women Voters on their
vote411.org site.
It is a good idea to find out where you are expected to vote and then to take a few minutes to figure out the best way to get there. The following websites will help you find the location of your polling place.
If you need special accommodations because of injury or disability, contact your local Board of Elections ahead of time to confirm that your polling place is accessible and to request a transfer to another polling place if necessary.
The websites shown below provide information about important local and national issues and candidates.The New School takes no responsibility for the content or viewpoint of these sites.
These parties are officially recognized on New York State ballots. If you choose, you can register as a member of one of these parties when completing your voter registration form.
These websites serve as hubs for nonpartisan information about a wide variety of political issues and candidates.
While sometimes partisan, these websites offer daily updates and breaking news on campaigns and political issues that will be timely for the 2016 election.
The Office of Student Development and Activities (OSDA) will sponsor voter registration drives throughout the spring and fall semesters, and we need help from students, faculty, and staff. There are two ways you can help register voters on campus.
For more information on volunteering to help with the voter registration drive, contact Terra Bailey at
email@example.com or 212.229.5687.

Lowe's Workers Fix Vet's Wheelchair (After VA Wouldn't)
(NEWSER) – A public thank-you by a Vietnam vet to three workers at Lowe's is providing yet more ammo for critics of the VA. As he explains in a letter to the Staten Island Advance, Michael Sulsona lost both his legs to a landmine during the war. He'd been trying to get a new wheelchair from the VA for the last two years without success, and it finally broke down on him during a trip to the hardware store. Three employees came to his assistance, remaining after the store closed to make sure his chair got fixed. "I kept thanking them and all they could say was, 'It was our honor," writes Sulsona.

Post subject: GSAK help please
I've used GSAK for quite awhile (maybe three years?). I know I don't use much of what's available in it, but until Saturday I thought I used all that I needed. Well, on Saturday, I learned that it's easy to configure GSAK to send container size, terrain and difficulty info, and other stuff over to the Garmin when sending the waypoints.
Boy, I'd really like to know how to do that! I can't find anything in the pull down menus or on the "send to GPS" dialog box that looks promising. I'm sure I'm just not recognizing it. Could one of you who knows how to configure the program to do this please clue me in?

My first answer would be to tell you to come to the tech event on the 20th and we'll teach you how.
Under the "Send waypoints to GPS" dialog, look for waypoint name in the middle/left. It says "you can build the waypoint name using tags (see help)".
The help file gives you all of the possibilities for the options you can put there. I use this string:
This gives me the waypoint code (minus the beginning GC) followed by the container (Micro, Small, Regular, etc), followed by the type of cache (Traditional, Multi, etc), followed by the last four logs (Found or Not found), followed by the difficulty and terrain ratings (which sometimes gets chopped off).
There are better options for the dif and ter that guarantee that it won't get chopped off but I like what I have.

Here is what I use:
From the "Export to MapSource File", I have the fields filled in as follows -
Waypoint Name - %Smart
Cache description format - %code %typ1 %con1 %correct by %By (%Dif1/%Ter1) Hint:%hint
I should change mine to Pearhead's format and remove the "GC" from the waypoint code and the spaces. The difficulty and terrain I use are a little shorter, but you have to do some simple math in your head to get the actual published ratings (add 1 and divide by 2). I also have included a Y/N for corrected coordinates in case you see the cache is a puzzle and are need to know if you have solved it before attempting.
But at any rate, just hit "Help" while that box is open and there are many other options to consider for you own needs.

I just made up GCXXXX as an example. I also made up Wonders of Warba, although there certainly should be a cache with that name.

What's GCXXXX? And what's this 8 or 14 chr restriction.
Just an inquiring Magellan user who does not have those issues.
I understand what you're saying... Even if I could fit the cache name in easily I would still opt for the GC code - makes logging the cache online much easier.
I suppose having the extra information there would be nice, although I prefer less information over being 50' off.

I do both.. 9 chars of smart name and 5 chars of GC code.
All the other information is in the waypoint description if I need it:
%Name=20%Dif%con1%Ter%by%children%name=20 %c_Name %c_Type

Interesting, I hadn't thought of combining the smartname and the GC code. I might have to try that.
Right now, I just use this for the smartname:
%smart %children %smart%c_Code1
I do send out the GC code into cachemate, so I have it for those rare occasions when I try to log on from the field.
For my description I use this:
%Dif1a/%Ter1a %typ1:%con1 %last4 %hint %By
That provides lots of information.

GSAK...Cool stuff. I was at the GeoTec event in North Branch and it was great. One thing I learned was how much I do not know. I did end up with a lot of questions That one session would be impossible to answer. Would it be possible for someone to do a class on just GSAK all the way through how to manage queries. Is there anyone else that would be interested in taking a lass like that?
