Post subject: 7 Rounds
Just a note for everyone- I did not review every free agency signing before creating this mock. You'll have to pardon me- I do have a life and a job outside of this.
Round 1
1. KC- Luke Joeckel- OT- Texas A&M
With their QB problem solved IMO with the trade for Alex Smith (who IS an NFL starting-caliber quarterback), the Chiefs can use this pick to upgrade their O-Line. Joeckel is a prototypical left tackle. If they also re-sign Branden Albert, Albert can move to RT to solidify that side of the line.
2. Jax- Ezekiel Ansah- DE- BYU
There is probably no prospect shooting up draft boards faster than Ansah right now and the Jags are desperately in need of pass-rush help. This selection almost makes too much sense for it to actually happen.
3. Oak- Jarvis Jones- LB- Georgia
Another team in desperate need of pass-rush help, the Raiders look to the former USC Trojan and Georgia Bulldog to solidify the situation.
4. Phi- Eric Fisher- OT- C. Michigan
No matter who is playing under center for Chip Kelly, an upgrade on the o-line is imperative to keep that quarterback on his feet.
5. Det- Dion Jordan- DE- Oregon
Having lost both of their starters this off-season, this becomes a need pick for the Lions. Jordan will lead the team in sacks as a rookie.
TRADE- Cle trades #6 to Buf for #8 and #71
6. Buf (from Cle)- Geno Smith- QB- W. Virginia
Seeing the top 2 signal callers still on the board, the Bills make the deal to get their gu leapfrogging the Cardinals. Smith does have some issues, but he definitely has the arm strength to throw in the winds in Buffalo.
7. Ari- Matt Barkley- QB- USC
I think there will be a great sigh of relief when the Cardinals hear Smith's name called rather than Barkley's at #6. Barkley fits Bruce Arian's system much better than Smith would.
8. Cle (from Buf)- Dee Milliner- CB- Alabama
Having improved their pass-rush with the underrated Paul Kruger, the Browns can move their attention to improving their secondary. Pairing Milliner with Joe Haden will give them one of the top young corner duos in the league.
9. NYJ- Barkevious Mingo- LB- LSU
The Jets are another team in desperate need of pass-rush help. Luckily, there are plenty of those available in this draft. Mingo will be an immediate upgrade on the outside.
TRADE- Ten trades #10 to SF for #31, #34, and #93
10. SF (from Ten)- Star Lotulelei- DT- Utah
With draft picks coming out of their ears, the 49ers have enough firepower to move up for the slipping Lotulelei. I anticipate the additional testing of his heart will clear him to play and make him an absolute steal at this point to man the middle of the 'Niners defense.
11. SD- Lane Johnson- OT- Oklahoma
If the Chargers are going to have any chance to compete with the Broncos in the AFC West, they will have to finally upgrade their O-Line to protect Phillip Rivers better. Johnson will be a starter at LT from day one in San Diego.
TRADE- Mia trades #12 to Dal for #18 and #80
12. Dal (from Mia)- Chance Warmack- G- Alabama
With several teams looking for interior O-Line help ahead of them, the Cowboys make the aggressive move to bring in a special talent in Warmack.
13. TB- Desmond Trufant- CB- Washington
Another guy rising up draft boards, Trufant fills a huge need in the defensive backfield in Tampa.
14. Car- Sharrif Floyd- DT- Florida
Floyd will fill a huge hole in the middle of the Panther's D as an interior pass-rusher and run-stopper.
15. NO- Damontre Moore- LB- Texas A&M
The transition in New Orleans to a 3-4 D is underway and will require new personnel. Moore has the ability to become an outstanding player on the outside for them.
16. SL- Jonathan Cooper- G- N. Carolina
Even if the Rams pick up Jake Long as a free agent, there will still be work to be done on their O-Line. Cooper has the ability to play any one of the interior positions for them and will be an immediate upgrade.
17. Pit- Cordarelle Patterson- WR- Tennessee
The free agency defection of Mike Wallace makes receiver a position of need for the Steelers. Patterson will be the big, fast target Big Ben has been missing over the past few years.
18. Mia (from Dal)- Tyler Eiffert- TE- Notre Dame
The addition of Mike Wallace helps with the receiving corps in Miami, but there is still work to be done. Eiffert will give developing QB Ryan Tannehill a reliable outlet receiver at the tight end position.
19. NYG- Bjoern Werner- DE- Florida St.
As usual for the G-Men, the first round pick is a defensive lineman. With Werner in the fold to play opposite Jason Pierre-Paul, it will not hurt them to let disgruntled Osi Umenyiora depart.
20. Chi- Manti Te'o- LB- Notre Dame
With Brian Urlacher a free agent and nearing the end of his career, a new stud in the middle of the Bears defense is needed. Te'o fits the bill perfectly.
21. Cin- Eddie Lacy- RB- Alabama
Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis is not the answer at running back in Cincinnati. Lacy is the top runner in this draft and will give the Bengals the additional punch from the position that they have been missing.
22. SL (from Was)- Keenan Allen- WR- California
For Sam Bradford to take the next step in his development, he needs some more reliable targets to throw to. Allen will quickly become his favorite receiver.
23. Min- Sheldon Richardson- DT- Missouri
Richardson will immediately step into the DT position next to Kevin Williams to solidify the D-line for the Vikings.
24. Ind- Xavier Rhodes- CB- Florida St.
The coverage units are in need of an upgrade in Indianapolis. Rhodes will start on the outside immediately.
25. Min (from Sea)- Robert Woods- WR- USC
Trading Percy Harvin makes this more of a need pick. Once considered a top-10 selection, Woods didn't have the standout season many expected, but he's more than capable of becoming a playmaker at the next level. A steal here for the Vikings.
26. GB- Kawann Short- DT- Purdue
With the amazing D-line depth in this draft, the Packers finally take care of the missing link in their defense flanking BJ Raji.
27. Hou- Kenny Vaccaro- S- Texas
The two positions the Texans have been neglecting for years are wide receiver and safety. Keeping Vaccaro in-state will finally address one of them.
28. Den- Alec Ogletree- LB- Georgia
With the question marks surrounding the linebacking corps in Denver, adding an outstanding talent in the middle is a step in the right direction.
29. NE- Johnathan Hankins- DT- Ohio St.
Adding Hankins to play next to Vince Wilfork will greatly improve the Patriots defensive play.
30. Atl- Zach Ertz- TE- Stanford
Future Hall-of-Famer Tony Gonzalez can't keep playing forever. It's time to start grooming a replacement.
31. Ten (from SF)- Sylvester Williams- DT- N. Carolina
Due to the depth of the talent on the d-line in this draft, the Titans are able to trade down and still get a top-notch player to plug into the middle of their defensive line.
32. Bal- Kevin Minter- LB- LSU
Ray Lewis has retired, leaving a gaping hole on the defensive side of the ball. Minter will help fill the gap.
Round 2
33. Jax- Johnathan Banks- CB- Mississippi St.
With the holes in the defensive backfield, the Jags would be wise to use this selection there rather than on the offensive side of the ball.
34. Ten (from KC via SF)- Larry Warford- G- Kentucky
An upgrade to the interior of the Titan's O-Line will help Chris Johnson return to form.
35. Phi- David Amerson- CB- NC St.
With Nnamdi Asomugha set to leave as a free agent, there is need of reinforcements at the position.
36. Det- Tavon Austin- WR- W. Virginia
A playmaker to replace departed head-case Titus Young.
37. Cin (from Oak)- DeAndre Hopkins- WR- Clemson
A complimentary receiver to fill the hole across from AJ Green.
38. Ari- DJ Fluker- OT- Alabama
With their QB in the fold in the first round, they need to use this pick to protect him.
39. NYJ- EJ Manuel- QB- Florida St.
Will push or replace Mark Sanchez and allow Tim Tebow to move to his more natural H-Back position.
40. Ten- Jordan Poyer- CB- Oregon St.
Will step into the nickelback role as a rookie.
41. Buf- Justin Hunter- WR- Tennessee
A weapon for Geno Smith to develop with.
42. Mia- Sam Montgomery- DE- LSU
Will start opposite pass-rush specialist Cameron Wake.
43. TB- Johnathan Jenkins- DT- Georgia
The addition of Jenkins will free up the Buccaneers linebackers to make plays on the ball.
44. Car- Terrance Williams- WR- Baylor
Steve Smith is getting old and the young receivers on the roster have not developed as expected.
45. SD- Giovanni Bernard- RB- N.Carolina
Will push the disappointing Ryan Mathews for playing time.
46. SL- Jonathan Cyprien- S- Florida International
A centerfielder to improve the performance of the secondary.
47. Dal- Mike Glennon- QB- NC St.
The time is now to bring in a QB of the future in Dallas.
48. Pit- Marcus Lattimore- RB- S. Carolina
With their group of solid running backs, the Steelers can afford to take their time on the uberA -talented Lattimore to ensure that his injury problems are behind him.
49. NYG- Gavin Escobar- TE- San Diego St.
Eli Manning needs a reliable receiver from the Tight End position.
50. Chi- Chris Faulk- OT- LSU
The Bears cannot go into this next season with J'Marcus Webb as a starter.
51. Was- Kevin Reddick- LB- N. Carolina
London Fletcher can't play forever, right?
52. Min- Blidi Wreh-Wilson- CB- Connecticut
None of the young corners has stepped forward for the Vikings.
53. Cin- Datone Jones- DE- UCLA
Will compete with the underachieving young DE's in Cincinnati.
54. Mia (from Ind)- Montee Ball- RB- Wisconsin
Reggie Bush was not resigned.
55. GB- Andre Ellington- RB- Clemson
The Packers can't afford to go into 2013 with their current stable of running backs.
56. Sea- Arthur Brown- LB- Kansas St.
Will compete for an outside LB position flanking second-year stud Bobby Wagner.
57. Hou- Marquess Wilson- WR- Washington St.
The Texans need a receiver that can play opposite Andre Johnson so he's not constantly double-teamed.
58. Den- Michael Buchanan- DE- Illinois
Derek Wolfe will be able to move inside to his natural position with the addition of Buchanan.
59. NE- Da'Rick Rogers- WR- Tennessee Tech
This small-school stud has one thing that no other Patriot receiver has- size.
60. Atl- Menelik Watson- OT- Florida St.
A replacement for oft-injured Sam Baker.
61. SF- Barrett Jones- C- Alabama
Jonathan Goodwin is getting older. A replacement is needed.
62. Bal- TJ McDonald- S- USC
Ed Reed is getting older and may not return.

Nice try but not even close for the Redskins.
Just my opinion but That is WAY to high for Reddick try the 4th round. Robert Lester will go in the 6th or 7th and Washington needs a FS not a SS. I quit reading after those picks!!

I like Fisher at #4.
I would take Tavon Austin at #35 in this scenario (which won't happen, Austin will be long gone by then).
I would take Rob Alford in the 3rd for this scenario.
Then I would take Jamie Collins in the 4th for this scenario.
Uzzi is fine in the 5th.

Just a tweak to your order, Vikings have 214 the Buffalo pick which they traded to Seattle, which was then traded to Vikings.
As for the Vikings draft, Ii'm not a huge Woods fan, but that's a solid first round pick. CB isn't bad, but in your description, Cook has stepped up nicely for the Vikings, but there are injury concerns with him, and Robinson didn't look too bad as a rookie last year.

Terrible job for the Boys. While I do like Warmack at OG, we cannot afford to trade away anymore picks to move up and get 1 player. I didn't like it last year and I would like it even less this year.
We could stay at 18 and hope Cooper slides to us or trade back and COLLECT another pick in the 3rd round and thake Wafford in the late 1st.
Jimmy Johnson didn't build a dynasty by trading away picks, he stockpiled picks and drafted from there. Why is this concept so difficult for most people to grasp????

Overall I like it for the Titans I have been a big proponent of moving down with san fran....you will likely have to give us more picks to make the deal.
Your later round picks are a little out there for us and Kenny Tate is not worth a 3rd. Give us Tank Carradine there instead.

Absolutely horrible Falcons draft. Terrible, terrible. Tight end isn't a need, espicially in the first round with so many other needs. Menelik Watson is equally awful. We just gave Sam Baker a huge contract, why would we draft his replacement? Okafar--good, but not likely to be there. Porter and Stills are good picks. And now for the worst pick--Collin Klein? WTF? Why would we draft Collin Klein? He's a UDFA? And over Logan Ryan, a second round corner, who is still available? Ugh. I would not be happy with that draft.

You lost me at Dallas trading up for an OG, especially since Jonathan Cooper would fall to Dallas at 18 should they stay where they are.

12. Chance Warmack- G- Alabama
47. Mike Glennon- QB- NC St.
114. Micah Hyde- S- Iowa
151. Josh Boyd- DT- Mississippi St.
185. Ray Graham- RB- Pittsburgh
No good for Dallas.
Warmack is fine, but OGs typically fall and trading up for one is simply a bad idea, especially in a draft as deep as this one.
Glennon. Decent pick, but changes in defensive scheme and questions at both safety spots, make a QB a bad selection at this point.
Hyde - At least a round too soon and Dallas has their top 3 CBs already in Claiborne, Carr and Scandrick.
The others are OK. Outside of Hyde, I have no issue with any of the prospects, just doesn't do much in terms of filling the gaps and the trade up for an OG is a killer.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The new year is off to a solid start for U.S. equities, and while this strength can continue near term, I stand by the theme I wrote on Jan 2, in The Stock Market Is a Risky Asset Class in 2013.Next week is an important week for earnings, as 13 money center and regional banks with buy ratings report their quarterly results. I profiled them on Thursday, Jan. 10 in Buy-Rated Big-Bank Stocks to Trade Pre-Earnings. Positive results from the banking system should prolong the near term stock market rally. Otherwise, next week's closes could be disappointing as pivots from my proprietary analytics act as magnets pulling stocks back down. As I have been reporting recently, the fundamentals for the stock market are not cheap. At www.ValuEngine.com we show that only 42.7% of all stocks are undervalued with 57.3% overvalued. In addition, all 16 sectors are overvalued with eight overvalued by double-digit percentages; consumer staples by 24.3%, construction by 20.3%, transportation by 20.0%, industrial products by 17.2%, finance by 13.4%, medical by 12.4%, computer and technology by 12.3% and retail-wholesale by 11.9%. Here are the pivots that have been magnets already in January: The Yield on the 10-Year Treasury Note (1.894%): The rise in yield so far in January has held my annual value level at 1.981%. The 1.981% yield should be a magnet for all of 2013 keeping the low yield environment in tact. My annual and semiannual value levels are 2.476% and 3.063% with my semiannual risky level at 1.413%. Comex Gold ($1,673.50): My annual value level is $1,599.90 with a monthly pivot at $1,673.80 and semiannual, quarterly and annual risky levels at $1,719.20, $1,802.90 and $1,852.10. I expected the monthly pivot to be a magnet in January and it was tested on Thursday, but don't expect a re-inflation of the gold bubble. Nymex Crude Oil ($93.89): My monthly value level lags at $74.23 with a quarterly risky level at $95.84 and annual risky levels at $115.23 and $115.42. While oil should trade up to my quarterly risky level, do not look for a re-inflation of the oil bubble either. The Euro vs. the Dollar (1.3253): My semiannual value level is 1.2797 with an annual pivot at 1.3257 and quarterly risky level at 1.3346. My annual pivot was tested on strength Thursday and the euro is slightly above this level this morning. The supports a trading range environment I have predicted for 2013.

Gene Simmons' chewed gum fetches six-figures on eBay
While the KISS catalog includes goods ranging from baby bibs to caskets, one person now has a piece of memorabilia that can't be found at the KISS Shop.
A piece of gum Gene Simmons chewed on the UK TV show "Soccer AM" sold on eBay for nearly $250,000. The rocker chomped on the gum during an appearance on the show on September 28th, while he was in the UK to sing the national anthem at the Pittsburgh Steelers-Minnesota Vikings game in London.
The Simmons gum comes with the original packaging and a show script. All the money raised through the auction is going to the Street League, a British charity that helps unemployed youth.

Jefferson City, Tenn. - Darius Moose recorded his first collegiate double-double and Aleksandar Vasiljevic pulled down 12 rebounds as the Tornados held the 50-28 rebounding edge on Wednesday evening in Holt Fieldhouse, but Antoine Davis and Ishmael Sanders combined for seven three-pointers as the host Eagles held on to defeat the visiting Tornados, 69-55.
Brevard (1-11, 0-3 SAC) held a 32-12 rebounding advantage at the half with Moose pulling down 12 boards in the first 20 minutes, but trailed the Eagles (9-4, 2-1 SAC) 29-15 at the break as Carson-Newman forced 14 Brevard turnovers which led to 15 Eagles points in the first half.
Moose finished the game with his first collegiate double-double with 13 points and finished with 18 rebounds, tying Jonathan Whitson, Sam Carlisle (twice) and Josh Jordan for the second most rebounds in a single game in BC history. Gaither Hendrix led Brevard with 14 points, scoring 12 in the Tornados second half comeback bid, while Drew Schauss was also in double figures with 10 points, adding seven rebounds.
Davis led all players with 20 points, going 7-for-13 from the floor and added three blocked shots as the Eagles improve to 2-1 in conference play on the season. Sanders was 5-for-8 from behind the three-point line on his way to scoring 19 points, while Marcellous Perez added six points and a steal in the win.
Carson-Newman took control early in the game, scoring 26 of the first 37 points of the game on their way, but Moose closed out the half with a pair of layups as the Eagles held the 29-15 lead at the break. Sanders led the Eagles with 11 points in the first half, hitting three treys in the opening 20 minutes, while Moose paced the Tornados efforts with six points and 12 rebounds.
The Eagles went up by as many as 25 in the second half as Ray Likely hit a three-pointer with 11:22 remaining in the game, but the Tornados answered with a 12-0 run capped by three-pointers by Moose and Hendrix to cut the score to 50-37 with 7:33 to play.
Carson-Newman's lead creeped back up to 20 on a Collin Crane trey from the right corner with 3:53 on the clock, but Brevard mounted one final run as Hendrix scored five points and Chavis Hamilton added a pair of free throws to go on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 63-50. However, four consecutive free throws by Sanders and Davis ended the run as the Eagles closed out the 69-55 victory.
The Tornados pulled down a school record 27 offensive rebounds in the game against the Eagles, paced by seven offensive rebounds by both Moose and Vasiljevic, while Schauss pulled down five boards as Brevard snapped the previous record of 23 set on February 13, 2007 against North Greenville and matched on February 26, 2011 against Wingate.
Brevard remains on the road in South Atlantic Conference play as they travel to Mars Hill, N.C. to take on Mars Hill College. Tipoff in Stanford Arena between the Tornados and the Lions is set for 4 p.m.

Indiana 'Feticide' Charge Is the Latest Fallout From States' Strict Anti-Abortion Laws
Anyone who doubts that laws restricting abortion rights actually restrict the freedom of women to fundamentally control their bodies and health should look at Indiana. In that state, a 33-year-old woman has been charged with "feticide" after suffering premature delivery and seeking hospital treatment. She becomes the second woman to recently be charged with "feticide" in Indiana. Nationwide, at least 37 other states have similar laws that have restricted the rights of pregnant women under the guise of supposedly protecting fetuses.
This past July, Purvi Patel went to an emergency room in St. Joseph County, Indiana, bleeding vaginally. According to the prosecution's allegations, Patel initially denied that she had given birth but eventually told staff at the hospital that she had delivered a fetus at home and believed it was dead. Patel said when she saw the fetus wasn't breathing or moving, she placed it in a bag and put the bag in a dumpster.
Upon examination of the fetus by police and medical staff, prosecutors initially charged Patel with felony neglect, a class A felony in Indiana that carries a 20- to 50-year prison sentence. And yet under Indiana law, Patel could only be convicted of neglecting her dependent child if prosecutors could prove she gave birth to a live baby.
So, to cover their bases, prosecutors also charged Patel with feticide, a class B felony. According to court records, Patel said in text messages found on her phone that she had taken drugs to try to terminate her pregnancy—although according to the ER doctor's affidavit, one of the two drugs Patel took would not have had any effect. Nonetheless, Patel can be found guilty of feticide if she "knowingly or intentionally" terminated her pregnancy "with an intention other than to produce a live birth or to remove a dead fetus." Feticide carries an 8- to 20-year prison sentence under Indiana law.
The legal knot here is dumbfounding. The State of Indiana intends to convict and incarcerate Purvi Patel one way or another, whether the fetus she delivered was alive or not—never mind the fact that the facts necessary for filing the one charge (that the fetus have been alive) entirely contradict the facts necessary for filing the other (that the fetus have been dead) and vice versa. But the utter illogic of the legal prosecution simply echoes the illogic of Indiana's law and others like them—which not only unconscionably (and arguably unconstitutionally) restrict a woman's right to abortion but tread dangerously close to criminalizing pregnancy as a whole.
If you do your job as a woman and give perfect birth to a perfect baby, you're safe. But God forbid anything go wrong, that you have any complications either due to your own actions or actions that could be attributed to you, that you as a woman fail in your duty as a vessel for the fetus—the rights of which the State of Indiana is clearly more invested in than your own. What then?
Consider Bei Bei Shuai, the first woman charged under Indiana's feticide law. Shuai had become so depressed during her pregnancy that she attempted suicide. Did the State of Indiana try to help Bei Bei Shuai, to use state funds to provide mental health services or other support? No, Indiana used taxpayer dollars to charge and incarcerate Shuai on the grounds of feticide because the suicide resulted in the termination of her pregnancy. Because Shuai was charged with murder, she was denied bail. Shuai was locked up in jail, pending trial, for over a year until she was released in a plea deal. State funds that could have been used not only to help Shaui but other pregnant women facing depression were instead spent to prosecute and incarcerate Shuai—as though, incidentally, her persecution would somehow send a message to other suicidal pregnant women. To put it bluntly, threat of incarceration isn't much of a deterrent to women whose goal is to kill themselves.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
MUKILTEO — For all he has accomplished in swimming, and the list is long, one prize has eluded John Stupey.
The Kamiak High School senior, who holds five school records and has finished first in more races than he can count, has never won an individual state title. He has been close, including a runner-up finish in the 100-meter butterfly a year ago, but has never experienced the thrill and elation of standing alone atop a podium at a state championship event.
But maybe soon.
With the state Class 4A swimming and diving championships just a week away, Stupey is aiming at two individual titles. He has qualified in eight individual events, but is limited to just two and will swim the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle.
And the idea of finishing first in one or the other, or both, is a tantalizing notion.
"It would be so much fun to stand (atop the podium) and know you were the fastest that day," said the 18-year-old Stupey. "To know that you raced and came out No. 1. If that happens, it'd be really cool."
In fact, Stupey does have a taste of winning at state. A year ago he swam the leadoff leg of Kamiak's 400 freestyle relay team, and the Knights built an early lead and then held off Eastlake of Sammamish by .03 for the championship.
Also, Stupey was a sophomore in 2011 — he finished fourth in the 100 freestyle and sixth in the 100 backstroke — when Kamiak won its second of two team titles (the other was in 2009).
"State is pretty important this year," he said. "And it'd be really nice to come away with a win, both for the team and for the individual events. That'd be a lot of fun."
In the meantime, Stupey will get one final week of race preparation at this week's 4A District swimming and diving meet at the Kamiak pool. The prelims were Thursday and the finals will be Saturday afternoon.
Stupey already has one memorable swim this season. Competing in the 200 IM at last month's Kentridge Invitational, he led for most of the race and finished in 1:53.34, bettering both his own personal best and the meet record by a few seconds. Unfortunately, Tommy Thach of Burien's Kennedy slipped in front on the final freestyle leg to edge Stupey in 1:53.06.
"We both finished and looked up (at the times), and (Thach) said, 'Wow.' … It was exciting. We both shattered the meet record. It wasn't even close. We just destroyed it."
"That (race) was a jaw-dropper for the crowd to see," said Kamiak coach Chris Erickson. And for Stupey, he added, "you just keep thinking, how can he keep dropping (time) so dramatically?"
The Kentridge race convinced Stupey to swim the IM at state this year for the first time. And it makes sense for another reason, too. He is a gifted all-around swimmer, but by his own admission, "I'm not a real superstar in any one event. … So I think the IM has really become a good event for me."
Stupey, who has accepted a partial scholarship offer to swim next year at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, says he is looking forward to the intense and highly competitive races at state.
"I'm going to go faster as long as I've got somebody there pushing me," he explained. "I really don't like to lose, so if there's somebody next to me then I'm trying to race my hardest and trying to win. That's when I swim my fastest, when I'm trying to catch somebody or trying to make sure nobody gets ahead of me."
Chris Erickson, Kamiak's coach, has big hopes for Stupey in the days ahead. Because as good as he has been to date, there is a feeling he can still be better.
"He just continues to be a surprise," Erickson said. "And you (wonder), how fast can he really get?"
Looking ahead to state, "my expectation is that he's going to do his best, and that's obviously going to happen," Erickson went on. "But if we talk about goals … he wants to be a state champ. Without exactly saying that, that's something we've talked about.
"And of course we'd love to have a team championship, too," he said. "So as we march through this, we'll see how many of those goals we can accomplish."

Architecture, like every industry, is full of professionals whose big personalities and talking points seize the limelight, regardless of merit. But the field is also full of mentors, educators, and technicians—the designers who are content to spend life backstage, nudging projects in the right direction, or imparting advice that becomes the saving grace.
In greater Philadelphia, many architects and engineers found a mentor and friend in Warren "Barney" Cunningham, FAIA. He passed away on Jan. 24 at the age of 90. A soft-spoken man who excelled in the technical aspects of buildings, Cunningham made his mark as the last of the partners named in the Philadelphia firm Geddes Brecher Qualls Cunningham Architects (GBQC).
The firm received the AIA's Architecture Firm Award in 1979. Its projects include the Police Administration Building, also known as the Roundhouse, in Philadelphia, for which a grassroots movement to preserve the building is now under way; the Franklin Institute Futures Center; the University of Pennsylvania Moore Building; the Stern School of Business at New York University; and the campus of Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, for which Cunningham received an honorary degree. GBQC was also the runner-up out of 233 entrants to design the Sydney Opera House. In 2006, GBQC merged with Boston-based Cubellis Associates, and became incorporated as Environetics in 2009.
"Barney was mentor to us all," said Robert Geddes, FAIA, in an article by AIA Philadelphia. At an April 19 memorial service in Philadelphia, Cunningham was eulogized by many of the design and engineering professionals he influenced, several of whom had gone on to open their own practices.
Cunningham attended Franklin & Marshall College before joining the Navy in 1942 and fighting in World War II. He earned his bachelor's degree in architecture at Penn on the GI Bill. In 1996, he received AIA Philadelphia's John Frederick Harbeson Award, which recognizes architects who have made significant contributions to the professional and related industries over their lifetime. He also served as the president and director of the Construction Specifications Institute of Philadelphia. He is survived by his three daughters, six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
PennDesign, the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Fine Arts, is organizing a lecture series in Cunningham's honor. Further information may be obtained through Charles Capaldi, founding partner of B Five Studio's office in Philadelphia.

Just picked up Gattaca from a WaWa store while getting gas for the car for $5.99. Definitely within the 'affordable' range. 😉
This was a great movie we saw years ago on a movie channel back when we had cable TV. And I have not seen it in the $5 bin at Walmart or over in the inexpensive DVDs at Target either. I have been watching for it because it was such an excellent movie. It still after 13-14 yrs, it is still 7.8 out of 10 stars at IMDb as of today.
Gattaca has a very important message that is even more relevant today than it was back in 1997 when the movie was made.
The movie starred Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Gore Vidal, Ernest Borgnine and others.
It shows what can happen when genetic markers/identities become the norm, when they think they can predict someone's future by their genetics and people's lives and jobs are what suffers…despite it being illegal to choose job applicants by their genetics.
It is the story of a 'normal' person and his 'genetically engineered' brother and how genetic differences affected their lives, and those around them.
A gripping story. Prophetic. And maybe we can keep this from happening … If only …

Professor's Groundbreaking Book On Urban Studies Earns Accolades
February 5, 2010
Filed in Headlines, Humanities
Springfield, Ohio – The groundbreaking book Doing Justice In Our Cities by Wittenberg Professor of Religion and Director of Urban Studies Warren Copeland was recently named one of the "Top 10 Books to Guide Us in 2010″ by e-zine ReadtheSpirit.com.
After introducing the book's premise and providing background information on Copeland, Crumm, a former columnist with the Detroit Free Press and editor of ReadtheSpirit.com, writes online: "What's so eye-opening about this book – and what places it on our list of truly enlightening new books for 2010 – is precisely this sleeves-rolled-up specificity in Copeland's approach. Lots of other good books inspire us to feed the hungry or donate to poverty-relief programs, but Copeland opens up his briefcase and gets down to the nitty gritty of making a difference in a real-life city."
ReadtheSpirit.com is a Web site produced by multimedia publishing company David Crumm Media, LLC, which focuses on religion and spirituality. ReadtheSpirit.com is operated by "a network of professionals, including writers, editors, photographers, artists, clergy, scholars and people from other disciplines, who are building cooperative partnerships to produce books, Web content and videos."
Copeland is currently on leave as faculty director of Wittenberg's Center for Civic & Urban Engagement while he serves as interim provost for the university. He is the first person elected mayor directly by the voters of Springfield in more than 90 years. He has served the city as a commissioner since 1988 and has served three terms as mayor, covering more than 15 of those years.
In his career, he has studied urban policies and analyzed pressing city issues while also dealing with the realities of everyday life as a politician, all of which provides him with a unique perspective. As far as Copeland knows, he is the only person in America who teaches ethics and is mayor of a city of more than 60,000 people.
Released July 20, Doing Justice In Our Cities is Copeland's fourth book. Economic Justice and Issues Of Justice (co-editor) were both published in 1988, while And The Poor Get Welfare was published in 1994. All three of those books have examined religious social ethics.
Copeland said the book's central thesis is that "the nature of contemporary American cities is itself an ethical problem. We have been sorting ourselves out primarily by income into homogenous neighborhoods, typically leaving behind those with the least amount of money in inner city neighborhoods. That creates problems of urban education, crime – all the things that people think of as negatives in cities."

Regardless of where we work, we are driven by one core mission: to end extreme poverty and advance the dignity of every human being. Yet, we come together tonight at a time when this mission—and our values—are being tested. Across the globe, millions of children—especially girls—are facing daunting threats.
Syria's children continue to endure relentless dangers, from barrel bombs to extremist militias. India's girls risk their lives every time they fetch water or visit latrines. And Nigeria's children are finding school a target for terrorists rather than a sanctuary for learning. All it takes it one look around the world to see that our joint efforts and advocacy are more critical than ever.
(As prepared)
Habari zenu, Good morning,
Honorable Henry Rotich, Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury; Honorable Michael Kamau, Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure; Lucy Mbugua Managing Director of the Kenya Airports Authority; other distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor to be with you.
In Cambodia today, women are living longer, healthier lives than their mothers and their mothers before them. As the nation's health system and economic opportunities continue to improve, Cambodian women have better access to higher-quality health services and products for themselves and their families. Giving birth is safer than it has ever been in Cambodia, for both mothers and their newborns. Contraceptives and other health commodities are more readily available and affordable. Deaths due to the most lethal diseases of the past – such as tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV – are declining each year.
(As prepared)
I am so pleased to be here to mark another milestone in our 50-year partnership with Kenya.
We are here today because we recognize that Kenya is in a position to benefit from the positive effects of a demographic change. The country is overflowing with young and ambitious Kenyans eager to contribute to the development of the country. If we can move them responsibly into their working age years as healthy, educated and productive adults, with fewer dependents, they can lead the development process and elevate Kenya to a middle-income country.
It gives me the greatest honor and pleasure to be here today to pledge the U.S. Government's support for the Government of Ethiopia's unprecedented commitment to End Fistula and Transform Lives by 2020. We applaud the Federal Ministry of Health for its renewed focus on obstetric fistula and for taking the bold step of developing a Plan of Action to eliminate fistula by the year 2020.
More than 1 billion people - one-sixth of the world's population - suffer from one or more neglected tropical diseases, also known as NTDs. These diseases affect the world's most vulnerable populations - those who are poorest and have little or no means to protect themselves from illness. Their impact on individuals and communities is devastating. In addition to the over 500,000 people who die annually from the consequences of NTDs - millions suffer from chronic disability, pain, disfigurement, and social stigma that keeps them from living full, productive lives.
This is an incredibly exciting week for the global community- as we outline a new approach to working together to prevent maternal and child deaths and set ambitious goals that we hope to achieve in the years ahead.We're thrilled that you are a part of it.
It is such an exciting time for this effort. Because for the first time in history, we stand within reach of a world that was simply once unimaginable—a world without child and maternal death.
Child Survival and maternal mortality have been a focus of the U.S. commitment to global health for decades. Every year, we commit nearly $1.5 billion to this moral mission. And today, we know that how we deploy those precious dollars has the potential to transform millions of communities that suffer from the senseless tragedy of losing children to preventable deaths.
After a very successful meeting in Mandalay at the end of March, we now have a critical mass of champions who are highly committed to moving the agenda on migrant health care further along, in whichever way we can, with whatever resources we can muster, the key operative word being partnership. Partnership between health, labor and social security, partnership between public and private sector, between government and civil society, and between the countries, to develop shared solutions to a common and complex health area. Also, partnership among development partners; we have a large group of external agencies who have come together to demonstrate our friendship and support for the cause. This meeting is a joint effort between IHPP Foundation, USAID, UNDP and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
While 92% of the Philippine population had access to an improved source of drinking water in 2010, 15.7 million Filipinos are still without access. This shortfall has serious impacts on economic growth, health and the overall development of the country. There are several reasons for inadequate water supply services, including low levels of investment; poverty linked to an inability to afford services; and policy, regulatory and financing barriers.

I used to hate story problems when I was in grade school. You know, math problems that involve both numbers AND words, as if somehow math problems with just numbers alone aren't challenging enough.
I had a hard time with story problems because I always focused on the wrong elements. Take the following question, for example, which, BTW, is an actual problem I just found on a website for school teachers: "You have five mini-pizzas to share with four friends. You're cutting the pizzas in half. How much will each friend get? How can you make sure the leftovers get shared equally?"
Now if I were still in grade school, I would read this and go, "What kind of toppings do the mini-pizzas have?"
"Hey. Where did they get those mini-pizzas so I can tell my mom to buy some?"
"Wait. If I count myself, there are five kids, so why can't we just all have our own damn mini-pizzas?"
"Who said I had to share the mini-pizzas with my friends anyway? I don't see my friends sharing their mini-pizzas with me!"
See what I mean?
Anyway, I remember the night I asked my dad if he could help me with some homework. He said, sure! Why not? So he took my book and read through the story problems for himself, after which he handed me back my book and said, "I think kids should do their own math, don't you?"
He didn't say so, but I knew my dad didn't see the point of story problems anymore than I did. I also knew that neither he nor my mother was going to do my homework for me. EVER. Homework was my job, and eventually I grew up to be a parent who believed kids should do their own homework, too. As my friend Erynn says, sometimes it's the things we don't do for our kids that turn out to be the best gifts we give them.
Still. There are plenty of things my dad did for me over the years. Before I turned 6, he taught me how to swim, ride a bike, make a baby laugh, take a wrapper off a Popsicle, put salt on an apple and return a stolen candy bar to the grocery store.
When I was in grade school he taught me how to turn a cartwheel, do a back somersault off the diving board, pick fruit, tell a joke, play Black Magic on road trips and eat tomatoes straight out of the garden.
When I was in high school he taught me how to drive a stick shift, appreciate well-written dialogue in a movie or a television show and have difficult conversations without resorting to the use of verbal napalm.
When I became an adult he taught me how to enjoy Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, love a spouse, make a backup plan, deal a deck of cards, call an audible off the field and accept the fact that there's more than one way to get to the same place.
Or at least he tried to do those things. The truth is, I am and I always have been a stubborn student.
Here's another true thing: I didn't do anything to deserve a good dad anymore than a kid with a bad dad deserves that. I just lucked out in the dad department. That's all. Life, unfortunately, is pretty random that way.
But I am grateful for him. Always.
Happy Father's Day, Dad.

Franciscan was founded in 1972 by a group of lawyers and doctors from San Francisco who decided to try turning their passion for wine into a business. In 1985, Agustin Huneeus, a Chilean exile who had built Concha y Toro in his native country, took over the helm at Franciscan. Huneeus refocused the winery on using the superlative grapes growing in its own vineyards, rather than sourcing from outside.
Today, Franciscan's wines are crafted under the exacting eye of Janet Myers, who came to Franciscan in August 2003 as associate winemaker after working in the Margaret River region and Beaulieu Vineyard, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and Louis Martini. The winery remains committed to its tradition of small-lot winemaking, with small batches averaging just 150 to 1,500 cases. The image of a hand-operated wine press on Franciscan's logo and wine labels reflects this small lot approach to winemaking. View all Franciscan Estate Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

The CIA's role is discussed in Jeffrey T. Richelson, The U.S. Intelligence Community, 4th 5th ed. (19992008). A critical history of the CIA is provided in Tim Weiner, Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA (2007). An excellent account of the Office of Strategic Services is Joseph E. Persico, Roosevelt's Secret War: FDR and World War II Espionage (2001). Christopher Andrew, For the President's Eyes Only: Secret Intelligence and the American Presidency from Washington to Bush (1995), provides a good overview of U.S. intelligence. Robert M. Gates, From the Shadows: The Ultimate Insider's Story of Five Presidents and How They Won the Cold War (1993, reissued in 1996), is an insider's account by a former CIA director. The covert operations of the CIA have been discussed in the works of many former operations officers, including Antonio Mendez, The Master of Disguise: My Secret Life in the CIA (1999); William J. Daugherty, In the Shadow of the Ayatollah (2001); and David Atlee Phillips, The Night Watch (1977). The struggle between the CIA and the KGB is detailed in David E. Murphy, Sergei A. Kondrashev, and George Bailey, Battleground Berlin: CIA vs. KGB in the Cold War (1997, reissued 1999); and Milt Bearden and James Risen, The Main Enemy: The Inside Story of the CIA's Final Showdown with the KGB (2003).
An excellent study of the first leaders of the Directorate of Operations is Evan Thomas, The Very Best Men: Four Who Dared (1995). The origins of the CIA and its leadership are also the subject of Amy B. Zegart, Flawed by Design: The Evolution of the CIA, JCS, and NSC (1999); David R. Rudgers, Creating the Secret State: The Origins of the Central Intelligence Agency, 1943–1947 (2000); and Burton Hersh, The Old Boys: The American Elite and the Origins of the CIA (1992, reissued 2002). The human cost of CIA operations is explored in Ted Gup, The Book of Honor: Covert Lives and Classified Deaths at the CIA (2000).
Monographs published by the Central Intelligence Agency Center for the Study of Intelligence include The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954–1974 (1998); Assessing the Soviet Threat: The Early Cold War Years (1997); and At Cold War's End: US Intelligence on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, 1989–1991 (1999). Also helpful is Central Intelligence Agency, A Consumer's Guide to Intelligence (2000).


text: The objective of any offense is production, not style points or aesthetics. So, when we are looking at how Jason Garrett's offense went about its business, we should be careful not to nitpick because we don't like how it looks. If they can get away with playing outside the normal perimeters of "fundamentally sound" or "conventionally proper" offense and still put up points and wins, then there is no issue - see Mike McCarthy up in Green Bay many weeks, where he seems to not mind not having a running game or much pass protection and also doesn't seem to mind his QB taking a number of hits every Sunday. Where it breaks down, of course, is when the results are not there. Then, we all want to figure out why it doesn't work and pick apart strategies and concepts and wonder why they do the things that they do. This is a flawed offense and it has been since the start of camp in my estimation. This means that they are not where they are because of an injury or a bad circumstance. The fact is, they have always hoped that they could develop an offensive line from the scrap heap and their work suggests that simply has not happened. They thought a new offensive line coach and a full commitment to a zone running game would really make things happen in a positive nature, but that did not work either. To properly ever be the juggernaut offense that they fancy themselves, and that their skill position players would suggest they should be, they simply need to address the offensive line. This is not a breaking news story nor is it a guess. In fact, they don't even argue this point anymore, but what remains unclear is why they did not arrive at this conclusion sooner - as in the offseason after 2010 or 2011.

Pimp My Artwork 038: Full Moon in Libra Brings Two Cards
It's a full moon in libra so what better thing to do that give you two tarot cards and few spells. They can be done even after the full moon. So what is the energy for the next two weeks? Well it's all about balance. It's time to regroup and take hold of your emotions. In order to find harmony you must go within. The moon card teaches us to do just that. Modeled after good friend Jill Tracy. This card was started on during the waning moon and finished right before the full moon. A cycle indeed.
The moon card means going within, listening to those dark dreams that call out to you. It also represents mad genius. With Neptune in Pisces and the Moon being a card all about Pisces, it's time to go deep. Instead of wallowing in darkness, let the moon guide you, let that creative energy flow and tap into places you've never gone before. The Moon signifies great creativity, enhanced psychic powers, and visions. Your judgment may not always be trustworthy, but you will have intuitive flashes that are remarkably accurate. It's an excellent time to take note of dreams.
I started this card during the waning moon and quickly fell under it's spell. The moon you see can cause madness but it also teaches you to trust your intuition, and boy did it teach me that.
A Simple Cleansing Solution:
Take sea salt, lavender, and rosemary. Mix together to create a scrub. Use in the shower to gain clarity and cleanse away and negativity.
Create a playlist at MixPod.com
Choices, choices, choices. The lovers represent somebody or something that truly just crashed your world. You want it so much but at the same time, you've had what you thought was a clear path. It's a risk if you choose to follow what your heart is telling you, and yet this card is not about emotion. It is about the psyche, the connection, and the messages you are about to receive.
It is about something that speaks to you, that you "know" and recognize as your other half or mirror image, and which makes you feel harmonically balanced or complete. Your friends and family may think you're crazy for falling so quickly. Now remember this card is not always a person, it could be a piece of land, an instrument, or a piece of art.
Yet you can say "no" to this attraction. You do have that choice. If, however, you don't allow yourself to try and make this person, career, challenge or thing a part of your life, you may regret it, profoundly and forever. -Aeclectic Tarot
The Love Pendulum
The pendulum can be used for many things including finding lost items and communicating with spirits. If you find yourself in a "Lovers" type situation and like to know if this person or thing is right then here's the spell. Take a ring that has sentimental value. Suspend it on red silk thread or ribbon. if you have anything that has a direct connection with the person place it on the table or floor in front of you. It can be a picture, a note, and article of clothing etc. Place the pendulum over the picture and visualize that person and all the positive and negative qualities. Then say:
Av, mi Romani mal
Pawdel dur chumbas
Av kitane' mansa?
This is roughly translated to "Come my Gypsy friend, over the hills and so far away. Will you come along with me?"
Repeat this 3 times. The pendulum will begin to swing. If it swings back and forth it is a yes. If it swings side to side, that is a no. Clockwise, yes and counterclockwise, no.
(I found this spell in a journal I had as a teenager. I'm not sure where it comes from but once I find out I'll give credit where credit is due.)
You will need:
7 small white candles
An oil mix of rose (love), lavender (peace and tranquility), verbena (cleansing), and laurel/bay leaves (protection)
(You can also mix these herbs together and place them into an oil base for candle dressing)
white flowers
Something to carve the candles with. If you do not want to carve 7 candles you can get a 7 day candle available at most grocery stores.
A white cloth
3 pennies
Cleanse yourself with the lavender, rosemary and sea salt scrub in the recipe above. After you have cleansed, create a small sacred space where you can work and not be disturbed. Place the white cloth on the sacred space and lay your candles or 7 day candle out. Place your hands on them and visualize everything you'd like to be uncrossed. Really spend time focusing and put your energy into the candle/s.
Take the herbs and oil or just oils and mix them together creating a blend. Take the property that you need most, lets say cleansing and use that as your base oil or herb, then add the others accordingly until you have a good blend. Place your hands over the oils and chant from your heart. You can even sing, talk to the oil or hum. Whatever feels right and allows you to connect.
When you are ready take the candles and your tool to carve them. If you are using a 7 day candle you can use a sharpie marker to write on it or a blank piece of paper and pen. Carve your intentions into the candle, It doesn't matter if it overlaps or gets messy, let your mind be free of those things and allow them to come out on the candle. If you are carving all 7 you can either do them all at once or day by day. When you are finished writing, take the oil in your left hand and rub from the halway point first up and then down. If you are using a 7 day candle, pour a little of the liquid into the candle and with a screwdriver or a nail poke holes into the wax to let the oil seep in. Blow on the candles 3 times.
When you are finished once again hold the candle and light it. Sit with the candle and visualize your life being free from the things that hold you back and cross you. Chant, sing, whisper, do whatever you need to raise power and feel connected. When you are finished take a deep breath and feel your body release any negativity. Take the flowers and place them by the candle/s creating a peaceful place for your magic to work.
For 7 days cleanse youself with the rosemary, sea salt, and lavender and spend time buy the candle breathing and visualizing your body being unblocked and your roads opening. At the end of the 7 days throw out the flowers. If you used the 7 day candle put it into a plastic bag and break the glass then throw it out.
Take three pennies and go to the crossroads. Leave them at the crossroads to open your road.

'The only exciting moment for the Devils came in the final second when Brian Rafalski's shot got through Dominik Hasek. As the Devils celebrated what they wished was a game-tying goal, the officials reviewed the play. When the replay was stopped as the clock hit zero, the puck was clearly not in the goal and the Sabres won on a goal by ex-Devil Dave Andreychuk.'

University honors top students at Awards Day
The University of South Carolina presented its top honors, the Algernon Sydney Sullivan and Steven N. Swanger awards, to three graduating seniors during the university's annual Awards Day ceremony Thursday (April 15).
Meredith Ross of Spartanburg and Gurjeet Guram of Columbia received the Algernon Sydney Sullivan awards, the university's highest honor for undergraduates. Sullivan awards are given each year to one graduating woman and one graduating man for outstanding achievements, campus leadership, exemplary character and service to the community. The award is named for the 19th-century New York lawyer and philanthropist.
Amanda Davis of Matthews, N.C., received the Swanger Award, the university's second highest undergraduate honor. The award is named for a former president of Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK), which sponsors the university's Awards Day. It is given to a graduating senior for exemplary leadership and for making significant contributions to the Carolina community.
The university also presented more than 300 awards recognizing undergraduate academic, service, athletic and leadership achievements.
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award
Andrea Meredith Ross
Meredith Ross, daughter of Scott Ross and Sandra Adams of Chicago, is a graduate of Dorman High School in Spartanburg. A member of the Dean's and President's list, Ross will graduate in May with a bachelor's degree in political science.
Meredith Ross
"The people I've known who are older than me who won this award – to be on a list with those people means the absolute world. It's a huge honor," said Ross, who will join Teach for America. "These past four years have flown by but have been some of the most memorable years of my life."
Ross has been involved in student government since entering the university and was student body president in 2009. Ross also was vice-president, student senator, a member of the Freshmen Council and a recipient of the Student Government Meritorious Award. She was a page for Sen. John Hawkins (R-Spartanburg) for three years.
She volunteered with the "Spanish Buddy" program at Claude A. Taylor Elementary School, where she mentored an 8-year old bilingual girl who couldn't read. Ross wrote in her application for the Algernon Sydney Sullivan award that the moment that "will stand out in her mind" from her time at Carolina was when the girl finally read a book out-loud.
A member of Omicron Delta Kappa, she served on its retention and involvement committee and was honored last year as the ODK Thomas Moore Craig Leadership Award recipient. She was also active in the Presbyterian Student Association, where she was part of the Leadership Team and Women's Bible Study. Last month, she was named a finalist for the Outstanding Woman of the Year at USC.

A 2009 Rhodes Scholar Finalist in District 12, Harry S Truman Scholarship Finalist and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Guram will graduate in May with the most rigorous academic achievement an undergraduate can earn, the baccalaureus degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in biology, economics and political science.
Jeet Guram
"This is a tremendous honor to recognize service and other involvement," said Guram, who will be attending Harvard Medical School. "It means a lot to me, and I hope it can serve as a way of recognizing all the people who helped me get here as well."
As a sophomore, Guram founded the USC Roosevelt Institution, a student think tank that studies policy problems, drafts solutions and presents ideas to members of Congress, and designed an upper-level political science class that examined the same issues. His writings on public health policy have been published by the Heritage Foundation.
Guram has conducted research in the laboratory of Dr. Sarah Schweitzer, assisting in research clinical studies of the physiology of pain. He won first place award for his biomedical science presentation at USC's Discovery Day and and presented two posters at a national meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
Guram has volunteered in the intensive care unit at Palmetto Health Baptist and at a rural hospital in the Dominican Republic, where he helped design and implement a program to boost childhood immunization rates.
He is a National Merit Scholar, Lieber Scholar, Palmetto Fellow, Magellan Scholar and recipient of the Frances Chalk Carolina Scholarship.
Steven N. Swanger Award
Amanda Beth Davis
Amanda Davis, daughter of Cheryl and Roger Davis of Matthews, N.C., is a graduate of Weddington High School. A McKissick Scholarship recipient, Capstone Scholar and member of the Dean's List for four years, she will graduate in May with a bachelor's in English Language and Literature.
Amanda Davis
She is a member of Alpha Lambda Delta freshman honor society, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Golden Key national honor society and Omicron Delta Kappa.
"This has been my life. My major is the university more so than my studies," said Davis who will join Teach for America. An English major, she said working for The Daily Gamecock "took over my life. I'm in there 24-7. I tell people it's my major."

Zend_Http_Client provides an easy interface for preforming Hyper-Text
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests.
Zend_Http_Client supports most
simple features expected from an HTTP client, as well as some more
complex features such as HTTP authentication and file uploads. Successful
requests (and most unsuccessful ones too) return a
object, which provides access to the response's headers and body (see
The class constructor optionally accepts a URL as its first parameter
(can be either a string or a
Zend_Uri_Http object), and an array
Zend_Config object containing configuration options. Both can
be left out, and set later using the setUri() and setConfig() methods.
Example #1 Instantiating a Zend_Http_Client Object
$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://example.org', array( 'maxredirects' => 0, 'timeout' => 30)); // This is actually exactly the same: $client = new Zend_Http_Client(); $client->setUri('http://example.org'); $client->setConfig(array( 'maxredirects' => 0, 'timeout' => 30)); // You can also use a Zend_Config object to set the client's configuration $config = new Zend_Config_Ini('httpclient.ini', 'secure'); $client->setConfig($config);
Zend_Uri_Httpto validate URLs. This means that some special characters like the pipe symbol ('|') or the caret symbol ('^') will not be accepted in the URL by default. This can be modified by setting the 'allow_unwise' option of
Zend_Urito 'TRUE'. See Allowing "Unwise" characters in URIs for more information.
The constructor and setConfig() method accept an associative array
of configuration parameters, or a
Zend_Config object. Setting
these parameters is optional, as they all have default values.
|Expected Values
|Default Value
|Maximum number of redirections to follow (0 = none)
|Whether perform validation on header names. When set to FALSE, validation functions will be skipped. Usually this should not be changed
|Whether to strictly follow the RFC when redirecting (see HTTP Redirections)
|User agent identifier string (sent in request headers)
|Connection timeout (seconds)
|HTTP protocol version (usually '1.1' or '1.0')
|Connection adapter class to use (see Zend_Http_Client - Connection Adapters)
|Whether to enable keep-alive connections with the server. Useful and might improve performance if several consecutive requests to the same server are performed.
|Whether to store last response for later retrieval with getLastResponse(). If set to FALSE getLastResponse() will return NULL.
|Whether to pass the cookie value through urlencode/urldecode. Enabling this breaks support with some web servers. Disabling this limits the range of values the cookies can contain.
Performing simple HTTP requests is very easily done using the request() method, and rarely needs more than three lines of code:
Example #2 Performing a Simple GET Request
$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://example.org'); $response = $client->request();
If no method is specified, the method set by the last setMethod() call is used. If setMethod() was never called, the default request method is GET (see the above example).
Example #3 Using Request Methods Other Than GET
// Preforming a POST request $response = $client->request('POST'); // Yet another way of preforming a POST request $client->setMethod(Zend_Http_Client::POST); $response = $client->request();
Adding GET parameters to an HTTP request is quite simple, and can be done either by specifying them as part of the URL, or by using the setParameterGet() method. This method takes the GET parameter's name as its first parameter, and the GET parameter's value as its second parameter. For convenience, the setParameterGet() method can also accept a single associative array of name => value GET variables - which may be more comfortable when several GET parameters need to be set.
Example #4 Setting GET Parameters
// Setting a get parameter using the setParameterGet method $client->setParameterGet('knight', 'lancelot'); // This is equivalent to setting such URL: $client->setUri('http://example.com/index.php?knight=lancelot'); // Adding several parameters with one call $client->setParameterGet(array( 'first_name' => 'Bender', 'middle_name' => 'Bending' 'made_in' => 'Mexico', ));
While GET parameters can be sent with every request method, POST parameters are only sent in the body of POST requests. Adding POST parameters to a request is very similar to adding GET parameters, and can be done with the setParameterPost() method, which is similar to the setParameterGet() method in structure.
Example #5 Setting POST Parameters
// Setting a POST parameter $client->setParameterPost('language', 'fr'); // Setting several POST parameters, one of them with several values $client->setParameterPost(array( 'language' => 'es', 'country' => 'ar', 'selection' => array(45, 32, 80) ));
Zend_Http_Client provides methods of accessing the last request
sent and last response received by the client object.
Zend_Http_Client->getLastRequest() takes no parameters
and returns the last HTTP request sent by the client as a string.
Zend_Http_Client->getLastResponse() returns
the last HTTP response received by the client as a
Zend_Http_Response object.

'As is the case with every other team still alive at this stage of the season, the Sabres possess an extremely effective transition game. That's another reason for the Hurricanes to make sure they put the puck deep. No matter how quick you are, you can't create a neutral-zone turnover in your defensive zone.'

Architect Merritt Harrison considered this building his finest creation. PWA (Public Works Administration) funds made it possible for the Fair Board to build this structure, which was to be a "Livestock Pavilion." Harrison used tan brick and Indiana limestone on the exterior. The style is Art Deco. When you go inside, notice the ticket booth grilles--cast brass in the form of ears of corn. On the outside, notice how most of the corners are rounded or stepped back, a hallmark of the Deco style.
Like the track, the Coliseum has been used for many events. It was the best and largest indoor live performance house in the state, that's why the Beatles held their only Indiana concert here in 1964. Before MSA was built in the early 1970s, the Indiana Pacers played here. But during the Fair, the Coliseum serves its intended role as champion horses and cattle are judged and awarded inside.
