NEW YORK (AP) Â? Paula Abdul's (ab-DOOL') new manager says she may not be returning to "American Idol."
According to a Los Angeles Times report, David Sonenberg says he doesn't have a proposal for a new contract for Abdul. He says it doesn't appear she'll be back.
Sonenberg began representing Abdul a few weeks ago.
Auditions for the ninth season of the highly rated Fox talent competition begin next month.
Abdul said recently she'd been invited to remain as an "American Idol" judge and was optimistic about negotiating a new contract.
Earlier this year, Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly called Abdul "an integral part of the show."
The other "American Idol" judges are Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and newcomer Kara DioGuardi (KA'-ruh dee-oh-GWAHR'-dee).

His role as Mr. Spock made a lasting impact on pop culture, but Leonard Nimoy barely noticed when he first heard about the role back in 1966.
"I really didn't give it a lot of thought," Nimoy recalled of the time his agent first called about the part.
Nimoy -- who died Friday at 83 -- recalled how he won the landmark role as the relentlessly logical half-human, half-Vulcan Spock during a November 2000 interview with the TV Academy for its Archive of American Television Project.

*1 If your boot kernel is located on your hard drive, and your hard drive fails, you will get the Flash ROM error instead of the hard drive error because the boot kernel could not be loaded.
*2 It may be possible to recover from a Flash ROM error by pulling out the power cord and trying to boot again the next day.
*3 Users have reported getting this error when the hard drive already has a Linux partition on it. The solution appears to be to simply reformat the hard drive.This might also happen if the PSU does not provide enough power for the hard drive, or if the hard drive takes too much time spinning up.

Endorse this
Continue Reading Below
Celebrities, like the rest of us, love stuff. But the amazing thing for them is they often get paid to use said stuff. And they don't just get paid a little bit -- they get paid a LOT. Why? Because advertisers want you to see them using their products and have you go out and buy them. These endorsement amounts are growing as more and more celebrities connect with their followers on social media. Some companies are tapping into the medium and paying up to $10,000 per tweet for a high-profile endorsement.
But not all deals are as peachy keen as being handed five figures for 140 characters, however. Many agreements go awry, for reasons mundane and ironic to costly and remarkable.
A recent study by University of Colorado at Boulder affirmed the risk that companies take on when establishing a close connection with a celebrity.
"The overall message to marketers is be careful, because all of us, celebrities or not, have positives and negatives to our personalities, and those negatives can easily transfer to a brand," says Margaret C. Campbell, an associate professor of marketing for University of Colorado at Boulder.
First case in point: Tiger Woods saw $22 million walk out the door after his habit of not being able to stay away from ladies who weren't his wife was exposed. What are some other notable celebrity endorsements gone awry?
Don't Kard me
We've been able to reach Mars yet again and discovered the "God particle," but no one seems to have established what it is Kardashian sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney do.
That's especially true now that they are no longer hawking the Kardashian Kard, an endorsement for MasterCard aimed at teenagers.
The prepaid card was practically booby trapped with a number of large fees targeted at financially inexperienced young adults.
Former Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal decried the card's predatory structure, adding, "In reality, no family can 'keep up with the Kardashians' using this card."
Zing! The Kardashians pulled the cord on the toxic partnership within a month, forfeiting an estimated $40 million to $60 million combined. If, for some reason, you're feeling bad for the sisters, know that they were paid $25,000 to show up at a Kardashian Kard launch party for a few hours and allowed to spend $1,900 on a chauffeured Escalade and $7,000 on their hair and makeup.
The trio was sued in 2011 for $75 million over breach of the contract, a charge that was dismissed six months later.
What's all the fizz about?
The youth are disrespectful, depraved and refuse to get off your lawn. Pity then the PepsiCo Inc. marketing department, which is charged with finding faces of pop culture to endorse a product perpetually aimed at the younger generation with slogans such as "Live for now" and "Why you doggin' me?"
It seems that every few years, we hear about PepsiCo having to gulp hard over another endorsement issue before sales go flat.
Perhaps the most infamous case arose in 1989 when PepsiCo thought it was a good idea to pay Madonna $5 million for a one-year deal that included using her ostensibly wholesome new hit "Like a Prayer" in an ad. It was only after the ad began airing that execs saw the music video, which featured classic family-friendly images such as burning crosses and sexual innuendo. The ad was pulled faster than the pope could crack open a can of Coca-Cola.
In 2002, PepsiCo tried again, teaming up with rapper Ludacris to go after the hip-hop audience -- much to the dismay of Bill O'Reilly. The TV host labeled the company as "immoral" for hiring the rapper, on account of his lyrics, and called for a boycott of PepsiCo. The company quickly pulled the ad, only to eventually pay $3 million to the hip-hop star's charity, the Ludacris Foundation, after an apparent double standard of airing a TV spot by the equally obscene Ozzy Osbourne.
Advantage out-standing regret
Sometimes, endorsements don't work out; rarely are they mutually disastrous.
Martina Hingis was the face of women's tennis in the late '90s, winning five Grand Slam singles titles at a young age. It was clear to anyone with so much as a passing interest in the sport that Hingis had many years ahead of her replete with more titles and millions of dollars in endorsements.
Sergio Tacchini used to be a tennis pro himself, staying on the sport's peripherals to launch a tennis clothing company in the '60s. Tacchini's company went on to produce some pretty groovy leisure wear and sportswear, and when the '90s rolled around, he was butting up against the big boys of apparel, Nike and Adidas. Having signed many tennis greats and up-and-comers, he figured he'd grab another one of the biggest names in tennis to wear his gear to stay competitive. He looked to Hingis for his comeback.
Tacchini signed her on for five years and $5.6 million, and everyone was happy -- until Tacchini realized Hingis wasn't wearing his threads. He fired her after three years. Hingis then responded with a $40 million lawsuit, claiming Tacchini's shoes were the culprit for ankle injuries that sidelined her career.
The lawsuit added to Tacchini's mounting business struggles from overexpansion, and the company went bankrupt in 2007 -- it was later bought by a Chinese businessman. That same year, Hingis tested positive for cocaine use, derailing any attempt at a roaring comeback.
Golden haze
Though the 2012 Summer Olympics helped reaffirm Michael Phelps as a national sports icon more than a lightning rod for the drug debate, his public relations debacle in 2009 was like a cannonball off the high dive of endorsements into the deep end of brand sensitivity.
When a tabloid published a photo of Phelps smoking marijuana, advertisers scrambled to both sides of the debate, with some perhaps seeing a bit of a boon (Subway soon used Phelps in a "Be yourself" campaign) while others took a pass on his newly recreational brand.
Phelps saw his $500,000 deal with Kellogg's go up in smoke faster than it could be inhaled, while Rosetta Stone and AT&T let their expired deals with him remain unrenewed and distanced themselves.
In the end, Phelps won several more Olympic medals and still has a stable of 11 sponsors, including Visa, Omega and Louis Vuitton. His endorsement-driven net worth sits at an estimated $40 million, with his agent having predicted that to rise to $100 million in his lifetime.
All downhill
Unfortunately for skier Bode Miller, nobody will be giving him a lifetime net worth of $100 million based on his endorsement deals. The athlete was flirting with full-fledged stardom heading into the 2006 Winter Olympics, with magazine covers and $4 million in combined endorsements, including Visa and Italian pasta company Barilla.
Miller looked at his limit, and while most would see nothing but sky, he apparently saw nothing but a good time. He quickly developed a reputation as a partier at the Olympic Games, which drew negative headlines and was exacerbated by his failure to win a single medal.
Like watching a slow-motion train wreck, Miller began his downfall long before the Olympics even started in an interview with "60 Minutes," saying, "Talk about a hard challenge right there. If you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy."
That's not the perspective that moves product. While his agent disagrees, some estimates put Miller's losses after his no-win Olympics at $3 million in annual sponsorship deals, which was apparently enough to shock him into gear. He went on to win three medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The final version of the Strategic Plan
- Posted May 27, 2010
Fuchs: Collaboration, not centralization, is the watchword
- Cornell Chronicle - May 27, 2010
Provost Kent Fuchs, at the request of President Skorton, has led Cornell University in a comprehensive, coordinated set of planning and implementation activities upon which the future health of our great university depends. This work had two goals: (1) to position Cornell for excellence in priority areas, and (2) to ensure the ongoing financial health of the university. The directions Cornell takes in years to come have been determined by crucial decisions that were made in the months past.
Much of the work involved soliciting ideas from the Cornell community, launching academic task forces and partnering with a global consulting firm to administrative cost savings across the university. Moving forward, a three-pronged approach was adopted:
- Twenty academic task forces have made recommendations, which were considered by Provost Fuchs, on strategies to enhance the university's competitiveness in priority areas despite the difficult economic environment.
- A strategic plan, released May 27, 2010, was drafted by a committee headed by Ed Lawler, the Martin P. Catherwood Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations. This plan identifies the goals, strategies, tactics and metrics that defines the Cornell of the future.
- The newly formed Initiatives Coordination Office, headed by Associate Vice President Paul Streeter, is helping the university achieve operational savings in a number of areas, including: procurement; facilities; information technology; finance, human resources and communications; and organization and management of support activities. He will provide regular updates on this process.
President Skorton and Provost Fuchs were responsible for directing the activities of all three aspects of Reimaging Cornell, as well as decisions made based on the recommendations that emerged from the process.
This web site serves as a comprehensive source for information on all aspects of Reimagining Cornell. New information will be added as it is released. If you have questions or suggestions for the president or provost please send them to the reimagining suggestion box. There is also a suggestion box for your comments back to the strategic plan team. We encourage you to get involved.

Retail sales and two inflation gauges will take center stage in a relatively light week for economic data next week.
Continue Reading Below
Investors will be keeping a close eye on February retail sales when they're released on Wednesday. Conventional wisdom holds that the numbers could be held down by a 2% payroll tax hike that took effect January 1, costing many Americans a few hundred dollars a month out of their paychecks.
Some economists believed the real impact of the tax hike would not be felt until February because it probably took many consumers a few weeks before they realized the extra money was being deducted from their paychecks.
On Thursday and Friday respectively come the producer price index and the consumer price index. The former measures prices paid by manufacturers for goods used to make goods. The latter is the price paid by consumers for goods already manufactured. Both are important gauges of inflation.
The Fed has said it won't consider tightening its loose fiscal policies until inflation hits 2.5% and the figure, which excludes energy and food costs, is nowhere near that mark. But critics of the Fed's programs of low interest rates and extensive bond purchases say the end result is inevitably inflation.
The University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer sentiment survey is due Friday and the numbers might get a boost based on the positive jobs report out this week. In a big surprise to the upside, the Labor Department reported 236,000 new jobs were created in February and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.7% from 7.9%. Those are the kinds of number that boost consumer sentiment.
The National Federation of Independent Business will release its Small Business Optimism index on Tuesday. The NFIB says its members are frustrated by lack of a coherent fiscal policy out of Washington.
Other economic reports next week include the Empire State Manufacturing survey on Friday; and February's industrial production report, also on Friday.
A handful of big retailers release earnings next week, including Dick's Sporting Goods on Monday (NYSE:DKS); Costco (NASDAQ:COST) on Tuesday; Men's Wearhouse (NYSE:MW) on Wednesday; and Krispy Kreme Donuts (NYSE:KKD) on Thursday.

With the first pick in the 2013 Orange Mane NFL Mock Draft the Kansas City Chiefs Select:
Luke Joeckel, Offensive Tackle, Texas A&M
66 310 lb.
ESPNs Todd McShay has Joeckel as his No. 2 overall prospect:
Joeckel fared well against the likes of Alabama and LSU this season. His balance and ability to recover in pass protection stand out, and he takes good angles and is able to get to the second level in the run game.
ESPNs Mel Kiper has Joeckel third:
Joeckel has the ability to take away good pass-rushers. Theres very little to not like. He has a ton of experience, starting on the left since his freshman season. He can really drive people in the run game, even if he gets questions on how nasty he is as a finisher. The feeling now is hes a safe bet to be the first OT taken.
Gil Brandt of NFL.com has Joeckel ranked as his top prospect:
Joeckel is the same type of player as Jake Long, who was taken with the No. 1 overall pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2008. A junior, Joeckel has great size and athletic ability, as well as really good hand placement.
Former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli has Joeckel ranked as his top underclassman:
Strong candidate for the first overall pick. Three-year starter at left tackle in the Big 12 and never red-shirted. A true height-weight-speed prospect who plays with good athleticism and body control. Will play early while he develops better hip and core strength. Good teammate too.
NFL.com compares Joeckel to Denvers Ryan Clady:
A technician with an athletic build, Joeckel excels as a pass protector for the Aggies and displays enough of a temper in the run game to be one of the top picks in this draft class, and a long-time NFL starter at left tackle, especially as he continues to add bulk in an NFL strength and conditioning program.
Joeckel has the technique to play at the next level right now. Many young offensive and defensive linemen come into the league with adjustments needed to their footwork. The team that drafts Joeckel doesn't need to worry about making those normal fixes.
His best asset is the ability to control pass-rushers. Joeckel is a mountain of a man at 6'6'' and 310 pounds with long arms, helping him to neutralize top talent on the other side. Joeckel is also quite strong and can handle the bullrush, something that isn't easy for taller players with a higher center of gravity.
For his size, Joeckel has the incredible ability to get out in space. Joeckel isn't a great run blocker in a phone booth, but once Joeckel pulls and gets out to the second level, he's a force.
Pick was made at 11:00 PM Mountain Time. ColoradoBuff is now on the clock.

Brian Dawkins
With the 2nd pick in the 2013 OM NFL Draft......the Jacksonville Jaguars Select:
Cornerback, Dee Milliner, Univ of Alabama
6-0 201 lbs
4.31 and 4.37
STRENGTHS: Built well for the position. Plays with excellent coordination and smooth hips, using his arms and hands to knock down throws. Excellent awareness and read/react ability, getting his head turned and uses his eyes well to quickly find the ball.
Attacks the run and is a very good tackler, never backing down. He is a bruising hitter and does a nice job separating ball from receiver with terrific timing. Plays tight bump-and-run and enjoys pressing with little cushion. Closes quickly and baits throws, looking to make a play on each snap.
Smart and disciplined, but not shy about coming off his man to make a play. Physical striker and does a nice job avoiding blocks while keeping his eye on the ball. He processes information quickly and looks comfortable in space.
WEAKNESSES: Plays too aggressive at times and will take himself out of the play, missing some tackles. Has just one full season as a starter. Needs to refine some of his cover technique, most notably his backpedal.
COMPARES TO: Charles Tillman, CB, Chicago Bears -- Similar size and ballhawking ability when the ball is in the air.
pick made @ 11:53 mtn time
Oakland (CBF1) are on the clock.

Mr Castro.
With the 3rd overall pick in the Orangemane draft, The Oakland Raiders select
Sharrif Floyd, Defensive Tackle Florida Gators
6' 3" 297lbs
Yes, there is a new Sherrif in town
Mike Mayock rated Sharrif Floyd above Star Lotulelei prior to the Combine, and he wasn't the first to do so. There's a ton of buzz about Floyd, with some of the ESPN and Scouts Inc. analysts ranking him in the top 10 of their big boards. He has so much upside and versatility that he could end up being a top-five pick. It's possible that the Raiders would view him as the best player available. Of course, this is much more of an obvious pick in the wake of Lotulelei's heart condition.
Floyd makes a ton of sense from a needs staindpoint. Richard Seymour's contract has been voided. Meanwhile, Tommy Kelly is a bum who doesn't care about winning. He's a thug who has played so sluggishly this year in the rare instances when he wasn't trying to injure the opposing quarterback, so there's no chance he's going to see a penny of his $6.5 million salary in 2013. He's as good as gone, and 15-year-old head coach Dennis Allen lost all respect in the locker room for not cutting him after the opener.
STRENGTHS: Has a naturally powerful frame with wide shoulders, a surprisingly trim waistline and the thick lower-half conducive to anchoring as a two-gap defender and run-stuffing presence in the middle. Flashes a terrific initial burst off the snap, showing the quickness to split gaps or even challenge lethargic offensive tackles when he's asked to line up wide.
Uses his hands well to chop at blockers attempting to latch on to his chest, ripping away and showing a nice over-arm swim move. Good lateral agility to "get skinny" through gaps and shows enough short-area quickness to close when the ballcarrier is near. Has made gains each of his three seasons of collegiate football and could be just scratching the surface of his potential.
Philadelphia/Arkie is on the clock, pick submitted @ 2:18 MST

With the 4th pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select
Dion Jordan, OLB/DE, Oregon
6' 6", 248
He will be the star of Philadelphia's new hybrid defense.
Jordan signed with Oregon as a highly regarded prep tight end and only made the switch to the defensive side of the ball in the spring of 2010.
As a reserve defensive end for the Ducks in 2010 Jordan registered 33 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.
To take advantage of his unique combination of burst off the snap and length, Oregon created a hybrid role for Jordan in 2011, lining him up as a stand-up pass rusher and moving him around to find favorable matchups. Demonstrating surprising fluidity for such a tall player, Jordan exploded for 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, each of which led the team, earning First Team all-conference honors from Pac-12 coaches.
In 2012, Jordan showcased his versatility to the nation against Arizona State, lining up on the line of scrimmage as a stand-up defensive end, in the box as a linebacker or in the slot, covering inside receivers. Yes - in the slot on receivers, a spot usually reserved for defensive backs.
Rarely asked to play with his hand in the dirt as a traditional defensive end, Oregon helped protect Jordan as a run-defender as he lacks the bulk to consistently set the edge against 300 pound behemoths. Jordan's long arms and vision, however, allow him to disengage from most blockers quickly and he plays with a high-revving motor, often pursuing the ball-carrier yards downfield.

Julius "Fluff"
With the 5th pick in the 2013 OM mock draft, the Detriot Lions select....
Chance Warmack, OG Alabama
Alabama running backs Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson have received deserved acclaim for their production over the past three seasons, two of which ended with Tide head coach Nick Saban holding the crystal football signifying a BCS championship. One of the big reasons for the success of the teams running attack, figuratively and literally, is the play of Warmack.
Coming out of Atlantas Westlake High School as a top national recruit, Warmack earned playing time at guard in five games as a true freshman. He was injected into the starting line-up the following year, starting all 13 games at left guard the same spot where he again lined up every week in the teams second BCS championship season last fall. The second-team All-SEC pick in 2011 brings a nice combination of strength and mobility to Alabamas offensive line, which in and of itself would make him a potential starter at the next level.
Thick interior player. Possesses a strong punch to shock oncoming defenders and consistently extends his arms to keep them at bay in pass protection. Strong lower half helps his anchor against bull rushes. Mobile enough to effectively trap and pull, regularly negates targets coming into the hole and flattens defensive backs in his path. Practiced fitting on linebackers on combo blocks. Brings attitude on every play, constantly keeps his hands and feet moving when drive-blocking, rolling his hips through contact, and looking to pancake his man whenever possible. Doesnt have the quickest feet, but is very technically sound and uses his strong punch to stop defenders and his length to mirror. Drives interior defensive tackle off the ball on base blocks. Has handled a number of dominating college defensive lineman with ease.
Pops straight up out of his stance at times, losing leverage battle against better tackles on occasion. Has foot speed to get out in front of screens but will miss targets and lacks the short area quickness to adjust to defenders on the move. Will stop his feet after first contact at times. Does not elite recovery speed to stop secondary rushes from quicker defensive linemen. Not asked to be a puller for Alabamas zone-heavy run scheme.
NFL Comparison
Carl Nicks
Bottom Line
Sturdy guard with dominating strength at the point of attack and enough mobility to clear the way for Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, 2012 top five pick Trent Richardson, and probable first round pick Eddie Lacy over the last three seasons. His toughness and durability are outstanding, and he grades out as one of the elite talents in the 2013 draft, and as a probable starter day one on Sundays -- and he'll stick around for a long time

With the 6th pick in the 2013 NFL draft the CLEVELAND BROWNSselect BARKEVIOUS MINGO
DE/OLB 6'4" 241 lbs 33 3/4" arm length 9 5/8" hands
Was back and forth with a few DE/OLBs and after Mingos combine its hard to pass up his potential with the 6th. Jarvis has health questions and Jordan is off the board. The browns clearly lack alot of things and a pass rush is toward the top of that list. Playing a 4-3 the last couple years, Horton has already made his mark by declaring a defensive switch to a 3-4. With mingo running a 4.58 40, 37 inch vertical jump, a broad jump of 10 feet 8 inches, he has all the measurables of making a transition to 3-4 OLB go smooth. During drills he displayed athleticism and quickly moved around the field, practicing with balance and flexibility. Mingo was run through a battery of linebacker drills, and he was flawless. The Browns will benefit with a solid pass rusher who can make an immediate impact opposite Jabaal Sheard.
STRENGTHS: strong and explosive pass rusher who projects best as a stand up, weakside edge rusher in the NFL. Incredible first step off the snap, can turn the corner on the outside and shimmy inside against tackles. Strong player setting the edge against the run. Not afraid to man up against tackles, Extends his arms to keep distance and can get off to grab backs trying to get through the hole. Takes TEs backwards to the ground using his length and footwork. Works through blocks to get down the line to chase plays. Overrall length and agility make him effective in coverage. Can stay with RBs out of the backfield and wrap up recievers in space. Excellent straight line speed. Uses length to disrupt passes a la JJ Watt.
WEAKNESS: very lean player that is unlikely to grow into every down DE. Needs to shed more consistently to prevent plays from getting outside of him. Long legs get in the way spmetimes when making precise changes in direction. Often gets too focused on scrapping with his blocker instead of watching the ball in the backfield. Great player off the snap of the ball, but tends to allow the tackle to recover because he lacks a move to disengage.
NFL COMPARISON: Demarcus Ware.

With the 8th pick of the 2013 OM Mock Draft, the Buffalo Bills select OLB Ezekiel Ansah BYU
Only played football for 2 years so he's raw, but his size/strength/speed measurables are there. And after a big Senior Bowl and combine he's making a legitimate claim to a top 10 pick. Track star prior to going to BYU. He's been compared to JPP. Buffalo has a bevy of needs, one of which is a legit edge rusher opposite Mario Williams. Sound against the run and with immense pass rushing upside, Ziggy Ansah may fit in as an every-down OLB in Mike Pettine's D immediately. If not, he's at least a rotational pass rusher who can take over the starting gig within a year a la Aldon Smith.

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR
School: Tennessee | Conference: SEC
STRENGTHS: Patterson has a solidly-built frame with good height and length. He is a fluid athlete with good initial burst and strength to release to the inside and gain separation in single coverage. Patterson knows how to create with excellent vision, controlled footwork and speed, showing excellent change of direction and a strong plant foot to make elusive, sharp cuts.
WEAKNESSES: Patterson is still developing as a route-runner and will tip his patterns at times. He is a natural hands-catcher, but will have some concentration lapses and drop some easy ones, running before securing the reception.
COMPARES TO: Mix of Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs and Nate Burleson, Detroit Lions - Patterson has a similar frame and physical downfield nature as Bowe with the speed and quickness of Burleson to contribute as a return man.

With the #10 pick the Tennessee Titans select:
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
STRENGTHS Flexible athlete with the natural bend to dip and contort his body to get under or around blocks. Shows excellent snap anticipation and fires out of his stance, playing fast and hard with very good quickness off the edge. Projects as a strong-side 4-3 end who can play the run well and get pressure on the quarterback. Possesses very good quickness off the snap for his size and flashes some shimmy to get the inside lane. Finds the ball well and uses active hands to rip past tackles after initial contact. Brings power to his punch, can bull his man toward the quarterback with leverage. Swallows running backs after shedding his man in the run game, has athleticism to make tackles in space. Stacks and sheds well, sets the edge and works off blocks to make stops in the run game. Times jumps well to knock down passes if unable to get to the quarterback, also looks comfortable making plays in coverage (18 career passes defended).
WEAKNESSES Lacks elite length for the position and doesnt have the natural start/stop explosion of some pass rushers. Pops straight up out of his stance at times, losing strength at the point of attack, and is inconsistent turning the corner as a pass rusher. Usually looks for misdirection when unblocked but loses contain when getting caught up in pulling guards instead of keeping outside leverage. Motor tends to run hot/cold at times, especially late in games or if the play isnt to his side of the field. Needs to consistently finish when he gets his hands on the ball carrier. Has a history of several minor injuries, including a left hand issue that bothered him this past season.
NFL COMPARISON Chris Long
BOTTOM LINE Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Werner enjoyed American football growing up and joined a club team before moving to the United States as a high school exchange student, playing two seasons and emerging as a top recruit. He has developed his football knowledge and technique substantially the past five years, flashing a top football IQ and instincts. Werner has the frame and athleticism to win with speed or power and, although he needs to improve his motor for all four quarters, he often looks like hes playing at a different speed than everyone else. He has proven to be much more than just a pass rusher, showing much better awareness against the run and at the line of scrimmage to swat passes down - a possible top-five overall draft choice with the potential to be an impact starting strong-side DE in a four-man front.

With the 11th Pick in the 2013 Orangemane Mock Draft, the San Diego Chargers are ecstatic to select:
Lane Johnson
6Ft 7In
303 lbs
Johnson is a very interesting prospect who started out his college football career at Kilgore College as a quarterback, and after a while there he made the transition to the tight end position. When he came to Oklahoma, he came as a tight end but has since added 35 pounds and become the full-time starter at right tackle, where he started 12 of 13 games in 2011. Hard worker in the classroom who was an Honorable Mention Academic All-Conference.
Johnson has good size at 6-foot-6, 302 pounds and very long 35-inch arms. Johnson is very athletic and has quick feet. He is a natural bender and plays with good leverage. Johnson has some nasty in him, but is at his best as a pass protector. Johnson has active hands and should have no issues handling the athleticism of right defensive ends in the NFL.
Johnson doesn't have a lot of experience at tackle and it shows up at times with sloppy technique, especially as a run blocker. Johnson doesn't have great functional strength and until he gets stronger could have problems the powerful defensive ends.

With the 13th pick in the 2013 OM NFL Draft......the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Select:
Xavier Rhodes, Cornerback, Florida State, 6'-2", 210 lbs, 4.43
STRENGTHS: Rhodes is strong for the position with a solidly-built frame and excellent arm length. He loves to jam and get physical in press coverage, getting in the face of receivers at the line of scrimmage and staying aggressive through the whistle.
Rhodes has very good click-and-close ability with strong plant-and-go burst to drive on plays in front of him, undercutting routes and knocking down passes. He does a nice job getting his head around to locate and high point with very good leaping ability and timing. Rhodes can flip his hips and easily change directions with a near-effortless transition, showing the ability to adjust and contort his body.
He is confident and instinctive in coverage, coming off his man to make a play on the ball with very good ballskills. Rhodes does a nice job defeating blocks to be a factor against the run and is a punishing striker, making the decleating hit if it's there.
He has very good experience with 39 career starts, finishing his collegiate career with eight interceptions and 31 passes defended.
WEAKNESSES: Rhodes tends to get too physical in tight coverage, playing too hands-on and grabby, which will attract pass interference penalties. He plays very aggressive with the ball in the air, but makes too much contact and needs to pay more attention to body position.
Rhodes needs to show better discipline and is susceptible to play fakes and misdirection. He lacks elite long-speed and isn't a quick-twitch type of athlete. Rhodes needs to stay assignment-sound holding contain against the run. He needs to eliminate the penalties and stay focused, controlling his intensity.
COMPARES TO: Aqib Talib, CB, New England Patriots - While Rhodes isn't quite as fast as Talib, he doesn't have the same character concerns either, But both do have tall, long frames with a knack for making plays on the ball when it's in the air.

With the 14th Pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers (Bronco Inferno) has selected. . .
Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
The Panthers feel like they got a steal with arguably one of the top talents in the nation and a player worthy of a top five selection @ #14 in the first round. I will let BroncoInferno post more analysis when he can. I made this pick in his stead after he sent his priority list.
Broncoinferno sez:
STRENGTHS: Boasts all of the physical traits to ultimately rank as one of the better, more versatile defensive linemen in the NFL.
Flashes an explosive burst off the snap. Possesses the lateral agility and flexibility to slip through gaps and ruin plays before they even have a chance to begin.
Strong, heavy hands to control his opponent and possesses the upper and core strength to simply rag-doll offensive linemen. Possesses a thick, classic Polynesian build well suited to anchoring against the run, making him a natural candidate to play inside at nose guard or defensive tackle, as well as a five-technique defensive end.
Has a developing arm-over swim move to break free from blockers when initially slowed at the point of attack. Locates the ball well and gives good effort in lateral pursuit to make the tackle. Has only average arm length but is very strong, showing the ability to grab and pull down ballcarriers seemingly out of his grasp. Has a short-area burst to close on the ball and can generate impressive explosiveness as a hitter.
Seemed to step up his play against top competition, enjoying some of his best moments against USC (and highly regarded senior center Khaled Holmes), as well as state rivals BYU and Utah State.
WEAKNESSES: Inconsistent. Relies too much on his unique physical traits to overcome rather marginal technique. Does not possess an elaborate array of pass rush moves and has just seven sacks in 38 career games at Utah. Too often is stale-mated when his initial burst and power are contained.
Possesses shorter than ideal arms, which contributes to his struggles slipping blocks and his relative lack of passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage (five over his career).
Carries a bit of extra weight around his midsection and played at Snow Junior College in 2008 at more than 350 pounds. Will be slightly older than most prospects (turned 23 in December) after sitting out the 2009 season.
COMPARES TO: Kevin Williams, Minnesota Vikings -- While a touch shorter than the Vikings' former All-Pro, Lotulelei offers a similarly dominant combination of quickness and power and should one day rank among the league's best interior defensive linemen.
Pick made at 7:10 MST, 8:10 CST, 9:10 EST.

With the 15th pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers proudly select:
Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 245 pounds
40 Time: 4.75 (estimated)
Player bio from CBSSports.com:
Great American novelist Thomas Wolfe popularized the expression, "You Can't Go Home Again" with his classic of the same name published posthumously in 1940. Jarvis Jones, a Columbus, Ga. native who originally signed with Southern Cal, would certainly beg to differ.
Jones earned playing time immediately with the Trojans, seeing time primarily on special teams and as a backup strong-side linebacker in their 4-3 alignment. He suffered a sprained neck in the eighth game of the season (Oregon), however, and missed the rest of the year. Team doctors refused to clear him for participation the following spring and after seeking other opinions, Jones elected to transfer back to Georgia.
He sat out the 2010 campaign per NCAA transfer guidelines before absolutely exploding onto the SEC scene the following season. Primarily asked to rush the passer as an outside linebacker in Georgia's 3-4 alignment, Jones led the SEC in sacks (13.5) and tackles for loss (19.5) while posting 70 tackles overall (second on the team by two stops). He earned consensus first-team all-conference honors, quite a few All-American nods and was voted a finalist for the Butkus Award as the nation's best linebacker.
Having earned First-Team All-SEC honors in each of his two eligible seasons at Georgia, Jones has proven himself to be a playmaker against both the pass and run. The 6-2, 242-pounder led the country in three critical statistics -- sacks (14.5), tackles for loss (24.5) and forced fumbles (seven) despite missing two games (Kentucky, Florida Atlantic) due to injury.
As dynamic as he is, the redshirt junior's medical grade will ultimately determine his draft status. He was diagnosed with a mild case of spinal stenosis in 2009 and some NFL doctors may be unwilling to clear him.
Elite playmaker off the edge. Possesses an explosive burst to complement very good timing to consistently cross the face of offensive tackles and get them backpedaling. Has enough flexibility to dip under their reach and close on the quarterback, demonstrating strong hands and an eye for ripping the ball free for the sack and forced fumble. Stronger than he looks and has an effective bull-rush. Also uses this strength to be surprisingly effective in setting the edge despite routinely giving up 70-plus pounds to opponents. Locates the ball quickly and pursues with passion. Athletic enough to drop back into coverage.
Size limitations. Possesses an impressive build but a frame that may not have much room for additional mass. Relies an awful lot on speed, showing few complementary pass rush moves. Was diagnosed with a spinal stenosis condition while at USC, a condition which has led some notable NFL players to end their careers rather abruptly, including San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl left tackle Marcus McNeill a year ago at just 28 years old.
Compares to
Von Miller, OLB, Denver Broncos -- Jones isn't quite as explosive off the snap or as reliable an open-field tackler as Miller but he's close. The medical concerns are frightening but make no mistake, Jones is a Pro Bowl talent whose impact in the NFL will be immediate.

At pick 16 in the first round of the OM draft, the St. Louis Rams are proud to select:
D.J. Fluker, RT, Alabama, 65, 339
Tall, long, thick right tackle prospect with huge hands and a solid (not sloppy) build. That pure size gives him the power to collapse the edge to create running lanes. Defensive ends must be very quick off the snap to beat him on their initial pass rush move because of his length and hustle. Has improved his anchor against bull-rushes, wide base and length make him tough to move. Flashes footwork to reach linebackers at the second level, who cant separate from him once he locks on. Shows some bend for his size in his stance, can get low to cut-block on quick passes and in short-yardage situations.
Gives up too many secondary rushes, lacks recovery speed to stay in front of his man if the quarterback holds onto the ball. Must get his hands up more quickly to sustain blocks, both in pass protection and in the run game. Quicker players in space can avoid him if they see him coming. Loses his balance regularly when overextending towards his target, often ending up on the ground. (NFL Scouting).
Comment: One of those rare times when BPA and greatest need coincide (IMHO). I keep reading how Jeff Fisher never has taken an Olineman in the first round and doesn't need to because he prefers to develop his own players and he has one of the best Oline coaches in the league in Paul Boudreau, but I don't agree in this case, and I don't think Les Snead would either. At some point, you have to think of protecting your QB. The right side of that line is a mess, and if Jeff Fisher intends to keep emphasizing the run-first mentality, he better get himself a RT. I just got him the best one in the draft.
Pick made at 8AM Mountain Time.

The New Orleans Saints select......
Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
New Orleans defense is in shambles and they're about to embark on a 3-4 conversion, meaning the front seven needs a significant overhaul. That said, the secondary was the worst pass defense group in the NFL last year as well. Trufant is the last of the top tier CBs in this class and so the Saints go BDPA (that's best defensive player available) here to fill at least one of their many holes on that side of the ball.

With the 18th pick in the 2013 OM draft the Dallas Cowboys select....
DT Johnathan Hankins from THE Ohio State University - 6'3" 322
Ohio State's great 2012 season could be attributed to many factors; one big reason for their success is DT Johnathan Hankins. The 6'3", 332 lb anchor of their defensive line is a true difference maker.
Hankins is best-suited as a RDT or NT that can occupy double teams and control the middle of the trenches. Although he plays with inconsistent technique, he is powerful enough to make up for it. He holds his ground well and does not get pushed around by blockers. One adjustment he will need to make is keeping his pad level low and driving with his legs rather than attempting to just manhandle players with his upper body strength.
With the recent drunk driving DT's that the Dallas Cowboys currently employ it's time to start thinking about building their future at that position. Johnathan Hankins is the perfect fit to do that. Monte Kiffin is going to build this defense from the inside out, and front to back. Johnathan Hankins has both the size and strength to be able to do that. Let's send it over to Jon Gruden to get his take on this pick... Jon?
Gruden: "This guy Johnathan Hankins... let me tell you something man, he is a true FORCE to be reckoned with at 6 foot 3 inches 322 pounds he is going to be knocking the grins right off of opposing linemen and running backs... I LOVE this pick for the Dallas Cowboys."

The Kansas City Chiefs are Elated to have their guy available at the 19th pick in the Draft.
Sheldon Richardson, Defensive Tackle, Missouri
64, 295 lb.
The Chiefs weighed their options heavily between ILB, DT, and QB, but felt the talent of Richardson was too much to pass up.
Richardson's best game statistically came against the best team, Alabama. Richardson had 14 tackles and a sack against the Crimson Tide. At 6'4 295 lbs, Sheldon projects to be a 3-4 end or a 4-3 tackle in the NFL.
- Play recognition: He's able to read a play quickly and react. His recognition is evident when you see how fast he gets into the backfield at times. Not only does it take speed and strength to make tackles for a loss (10.5 last season), it takes the ability to read where the play is going, and Richardson does that.
- Swim move/Power move: I'm really impressed by Richardson's swim move. He has the ability to use speed and finesse to get past the lineman at times, he doesn't always have to use brute force. Richardson also is strong enough to push the offensive lineman back and to the side.
- Pursuit: He's fast enough when a quarterback gets out of the pocket he can still get to him for a sack, and when a ball carrier gets passed him he can still catch up and make the tackle. For a lineman Richardson can run sideline to sideline well and takes good angles to get to who has the football.
- Misses some tackles: Will have to improve on squaring up and making sure he's in the best position to make the tackle.
- Over-pursuing: It will be very important for him to maintain the edge in a 3-4 defense. His aggressiveness has made him the good player he is, but he will have to pick his spots more in the NFL or a big play is going to happen for the offense. He allows open lanes at times and has to work on clogging the them.
- Strength: Don't get me wrong, he's a strong dude. But there have been times where he's been handled by an offensive lineman and he isn't able to get pressure or drive the offensive lineman back, he's the one getting driven back. This doesn't happen to Richardson all the time, but it's something to be aware of. He will have to get stronger.

Left Tackle TBD
Chicago Bears Select:
Tavon Austin - WR West Virginia
I hoped to have one of the top OL prospects fall to me, but this is a nice consolation for Cutler and company. Good luck double teaming Brandon Marshall and leaving Austin in single coverage underneath. He is an instant impact in Special Teams and can help the sluggish Bears offense have that home run threat..
STRENGTHS: Video game-like athleticism with rare change of direction skills. Lateral explosion is something special, doing an excellent job sticking his foot in the ground and bursting in any direction.
Knows how to change gears and turn on the jets to blow by others on the field. Very good start/stop ability with patience and vision to quickly survey and waste little time creating, always appearing to have a plan. Goes zero-to-60 in a flash and forces poor angles by defenders, following blocks and anticipating holes to set up his moves.
Very good space player and extremely shifty and elusive with the balance and deceiving strength to stay on his feet through contact. Smaller target for defenders to square up and a tough ballcarrier to tackle in motion. Good body control to make tough catches look easy with quick hands to pluck. Fearless and confident going up for the ball. Tough, gutsy and can take a hit, working hard to get every yard.
Versatile skill-set with experience all over the offense at running back and receiver, often used as a decoy. Dangerous return man and very good at weaving through defenders, playing with different gears that others on the field just don't have. Extremely productive with numerous school records, including career catches and all-purpose yards.
WEAKNESSES: Smallish frame and limited length with obvious durability concerns due to size. Will dance too much and get caught going east-west too much or in reverse, getting himself in trouble always looking for the home run. Smaller hands and will have some drops and double-catches, sometimes looking to create before securing the grab.
Strong effort as a blocker, but obviously limited in this area and can be tossed by defenders when they get their hands on him. Probably relegated to the slot at the next level. Too much all-or-nothing runs.

Cincinatti Bengals select: Alec Ogletree, LB -- Georgia
It is no surprise to anyone who follows the NFL that the Cincinnati Bengals have no reserves about pulling the trigger on players with character concerns. Pacman Jones, Vontaze Burfict and the late Chris Henry are just several of many players in the league that the Bengals have brought into the fold whose personal and off the field issues have made other coaches, scouts and personnel staff shy from giving them a chance. Alec Ogletree, who recently was arrested for DUI and busted for drugs earlier in the year certainly fits the mold, but there is no doubting his talent on the field.
In my evaluation of Ogletree, I believe I saw one of the most dynamic and explosive players in the draft. He was a Top 15 player on my board based on game play alone, despite the character concerns he brings along with him. He has schematic versatility, the ability to play MIKE in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense, as well as an outside LB in either scheme. He has the athleticism, instincts and ability to play all across the linebacking corps with relative ease. With the Bengals having two starters (Lawson, Maualuga) and two reserves (Skuta, Howard) hitting free agency linebacker was undoubtedly their biggest hole moving forward.
The versatility of Ogletree allows for fluid competition between himself and Burfict at ILB, with their play style being interchangeable for either to be inside or at weakside linebacker. He is a perfect fit for the team and we are extremely proud of his selection.

After watching top target Alec Ogletree go to the Bengals one pick ahead of theirs, the New York Giants have moved on to their highest ranked remaining player. With the 22nd pick in the draft, the New York Giants select...Keenan Allen, WR, California
6'2" 210lbs
Long-legged, reliable No. 1 receiver prospect. Runs solid slants, crossers, speed outs and vertical routes. Good height to win jump balls downfield, will attack the ball in the air with his hands and has good ball skills overall. Lines up in the slot regularly, can get off press with a quick shake at the line and uses his frame to block out smaller corners. Eats up ground quickly on his vertical stems. Agile and physical ball carrier after the catch, can make the first man miss with a quick cut or spin away from tackle attempts, maintaining his balance to continue downfield. Also runs through smaller corners to pick up a few extra yards. Gets down quickly for low throws despite his height. Aware receiver who uses his hands to create space from defenders downfield and gives his quarterback a target when in scramble mode. Good hip flexibility, as he sinks low into his routes and bursts out of the break.
Has striders speed that is good enough to threaten defenses down the sideline but is not elite in this category. Allows some passes into his body when facing the quarterback. Has the occasional drop when extending away from his frame or tracking over his shoulder, but bounces back quickly. Does not utilize his size or length as a run blocker, does not execute cut blocks and at times fails to hit a target. Development as a receiver was held back, as his quarterback could only comfortably attack a few portions of the field.

This 'American' Life: Pie, Hormones And The Endless Hunt For Happiness
It was really too bad about the audio.
Our press screening of American Reunion here in Washington was saddled with a muted soundtrack, which is unfortunate for any movie, let alone one that revolves around '90s music, loud parties and a school dance. The audience laughed louder at "I love this song!" than at any of Eugene Levy's improv.
So my take on Reunion is necessarily incomplete. But since I still had the privilege of watching Seann William Scott relieve himself in a beer cooler, I think I got the gist of what the film has to offer, and what the series as a whole has become. The takeaway: Still funny, but now with a much bleaker outlook.
Forget about that pie for a minute. Gross-out gags were never the true hallmarks of the American movies. There's a bigger reason this demented franchise has endeared itself to a demented generation: emotional consistency. The Michiganders at its center grew up with the mindset that sex is the single most important thing in the world, and all that's happened over the course of four movies and 13 years has, for better or worse, adhered to that principle.

It sounds all fun and frivolous, and maybe it was back in 1999, when four teens were willing to do just about anything to lose their virginity — that scourge of high school. But those insecurities, and those hormones, burn just as strongly as ever in 2012.
As American Reunion opens, married-with-child protagonists Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) confront this darkly comic reality headlong. Each half of the couple, voracious bedroom appetites no longer satisfied by the other, has independently elected to go solo.
Whatever the opposite of a big chill is, that's what it feels like to attend East Great Falls High's 13-year reunion, which most of the time feels like it could have just as easily been a one-year reunion. Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Oz (Chris Klein) are still hung up on high school flames (Tara Reid and Mena Suvari), while the supposedly worldly Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) throws up tales of derring-do to score with the girl who got hot (Dania Ramirez, new to the franchise).
Now that these guys and girls are in their 30s, with jobs and (in Jim and Michelle's case) a family, their constant quest for fulfillment has morphed from adolescent angst to hardened melancholy, and suddenly things are more Shame than Stifler. Live by the tube sock, die by the tube sock.
Should we have expected the cast to finally find release? Of course not. If they weren't still easily excitable, there'd be no point to the film. But the sands of time still shift for the Class of '99, just as they shift for the generation they represent. (Not my own; I'm holding out for Superbad Reunion). The fact that the characters feel so real to those who grew up watching them is both a blessing and a curse, because it makes all the gleeful immaturity glare in a peculiar way.
Consider that high school and college are usually our formative years, and with luck people generally emerge on the other side a little stronger and wiser. You aren't supposed to turn 30 acting like you just got home from prom. But the circumstances of the American franchise don't allow for natural maturation. The paradox is that in order to justify why we should still care about their lives, these people need to assure us they're all still as hopelessly horny as ever. A Jim who doesn't get caught pleasuring himself isn't really Jim at all.

It's not all frozen assets. Writer-directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the duo who gave the world Harold and Kumar, do make some valiant efforts to depict the shifting eras, as when a Stifler scheme falls apart due to the existence of cell phones. We're also aware we're dealing with different times because the filmmakers favor attractive yet dull new faces over gifted performers like Hannigan and Thomas. (And, nauseatingly, there are two separate sequences in which substance-addled girls throw themselves upon unwilling guys.) But mostly, the gang's-all-here spirit causes Reunion to do a sort of reverse moonwalk, looking backward while moving forward.
Make no mistake, it's a thrill to see everyone again. Yet our inclination after nine years is to also look for progress — and when redemption for the characters finally arrives, it feels static (and silent, too, but that wasn't their fault). It's kind of sad, in a way. To so many, these Americans stand for something grander than sex — and yet there was no way they could ever stand for anything but sex.

LEE — Officials continue to investigate details of the circumstances leading to a local man being shot by officers on Lee Hook Road in the early hours of Monday morning.
At a news conference Monday afternoon, Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said officials were in town to "investigate the facts and circumstances" leading up to the shooting of Steve Amazeen, 45, of 289 Lee Hook Road, whose wife, Mary, called police just after midnight to report her husband had fired a weapon in their home and was suicidal.
Amezeen is in stable condition at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover.
Police made contact with Amazeen, owner of Mystic Dragon Tattoo in Dover, on the roadway near his home. Officials are "still putting the pieces together" as to what unfolded there, but Morrell said she believes the interaction between police and Amazeen was brief. She could not comment as to whether Amazeen had threatened the officers with a weapon.
"We are investigating why he was shot and by whom," she said.
Though she said police have a good idea of who shot Amazeen, time is needed to conduct a thorough investigation. No answers were given pertaining to how many officers fired at Amazeen or how many shots were fired.
Amazeen's Facebook page shows he is a graduate of Oyster River High School.
While officials were tight-lipped on many details leaving a number of questions unanswered, Morrell did say it can "be surmised" that what happened inside Amazeen's home before he left was a "domestic issue going on in the home."
Amazeen's wife was unharmed during the incident, and Morrell said she believes the couple's young child, also unharmed, was present when Mary Amazeen dialed 911.
Amazeen remains at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he was transported from the scene.
Investigators will also look into whether there is an underlying mental health issue or if a drug or alcohol problem contributed to Amazeen's actions, according to Morrell.
"Something prompted this," she said.
Morrell said the investigation may take days or weeks to conclude and the case will go to the Strafford County Attorney's Office and the Lee Police Department to look into any potential criminal charges.
Numerous police departments responded to the scene including Durham, Newmarket, Barrington and Newfields, as well as others.
Lee Hook Road remained closed to traffic from the intersection of Little Hook Road to the Durham town line until about 4:30 p.m. while the State Police Major Crime Unit continued to investigate the shooting.

The other day a friend dropped by when I was prepping extra-large red potatoes for a baked potato dinner (for us it's a main course, not a side dish). This friend is in late middle age, has never been married, and to say that she has never learned to cook is putting it mildly.
She asked if she could stay for dinner, and I said sure. When she saw me take a brush to the outside of these already fairly clean potatoes, she said "Oh, don't do that! I always leave the dirt on, it makes them crunchier."
Yes, she was completely serious.

Monitoring and Analysis
Water quality and stormwater monitoring provides valuable information on the health of lakes, rivers & creeks in Minneapolis. It helps to identify problems and is used to measure the effectiveness of efforts to minimize pollution. Primary targets for monitoring include City lakes, creeks, wetlands, as well as stormwater runoff.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) performs and documents extensive water quality monitoring and data collection as part of efforts to protect and care for the 13 lakes, three creeks and one river in Minneapolis.
The Annual Water Resources Report is a comprehensive technical reference of water quality information for the citizens of Minneapolis. Electronic copies of the reports are available on the MPRB website. Hard copies of these reports are also available for check out at Minneapolis public libraries.
Lake Water Quality Monitoring Program
MPRB monitors Minneapolis lakes for water quality, using a database to track trends. Long-term monitoring is important as lakes can change from year to year, due to wet or dry weather. Analyzing years of data together must be done to see trends that will determine if the water quality is improving or not. These trends are also used to develop water quality goals and evaluate the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs).
The Minneapolis Lake Water Quality Monitoring Program began in 1991 as part of a study for the Chain of Lakes Clean Water Partnership, including Brownie, Calhoun, Cedar, Harriet and Isles. The monitoring program was expanded in 1992 to include Diamond, Hiawatha, Loring, Nokomis, Powderhorn, Webber and Wirth. Spring Lake was added in 1993.
Residents can help to monitor water quality also. For more information, see the River Watch program on the Hennepin County website.
Beach Monitoring
Increased bacteria levels predominantly come from waterfowl and pet wastes in yards, streets and parks. This waste washes into our lakes, rivers and creeks, either directly or through area storm drains, as the result of a heavy rain.
Minneapolis public beach water is monitored weekly throughout the summer, and is checked for bacteria that can be an indication of health risks for swimmers. Samples are collected and analyzed for indicator bacteria to determine if a health risk may be present for swimmers. If high bacteria levels are present, MPRB will close the beach until the water is safe for swimmers.
Best Management Practices (BMP) Monitoring
Grit chambers are constructed stormwater drainage system structures designed to remove sediment, trash and debris from storm runoff, so they are not deposited in receiving surface waters. Minneapolis Public Works first installed grit chambers in 1915, yet only seven were in place before 1990. Currently, Minneapolis maintains 145 grit chambers in our storm drain system. Please note that private grit chambers exist in Minneapolis, as well as units owned by Hennepin County and MnDOT.
Around the turn of the century, City engineers designed and constructed the first grit chambers. They were large underground concrete boxes with baffles, which allowed the water to slow down. Sediments and heavier materials then settled to the bottom of the chamber below the pipe entrance and exit. More recently, manufactured separator units that utilize modern technology are used to filter stormwater.
Minneapolis Public Works and MPRB together began grit chamber monitoring in 1998. Our goals include:
- Measure device effectiveness for specific units and site applications
- Determine optimal cleaning schedules (once the chamber is full, the device stops working, and material may also be washed out of the chamber)
- Develop better specification requirements and selection criteria for future installations, for both MPW, as well as being a requirement for private construction in Minneapolis
This project involves coordination of both water quality monitoring technicians and Minneapolis Surface Water & Sewer personnel.
Additional Monitoring in Minneapolis
The following list shows other types of monitoring and water quality related data collection by MPRB:
- NPDES stormwater monitoring
- Watershed outlet monitoring programs
- Wetland health evaluations
- Stream bank erosion surveys
- Beach studies
- Lake levels
- Minnehaha creek levels
- Ice on/out dates
- Rain data
- Macrophyte (algae that is visible to the naked eye) surveys
- Macroinvertebrate (aquatic animals without backbones visible to the naked eye) surveys
- Winter dissolved oxygen monitoring
- Audubon certification monitoring
- Groundwater and drinking wells
- Irrigation and augmentation wells
There is additional monitoring that is performed by the four individual Watershed Management Organizations (WMOs) in Minneapolis.
