So I have Capone living with us now for 5 months, I still have him and the girls separate, Macy will always be separate, I do walk him with Babs everyday, they sniff the same spots and don't really seem to pay attention to each other, they have had a few by accident personal meets (hubby leaving door open) they have gone ok. I am the one who is very nervous.
I know my nervousness can be a problem, not sure how to get over that, its from breaking up 2 fierce fights between the girls.
will keeping them separate make things worse, creating animosity.
how long is too long before introducing.
I don't know how to get over my fear, I stink at reading body language, but Babs really doesn't have any.
any thoughts would be appreciated

Frequently Asked Questions - Course Enrolment
Q: How many courses should I plan to enrol in during the fall, winter, and summer terms?
A: NEW as of September 2011: over the course of the year (September 1 to August 31) incoming MA stream students will need to complete 4 full (Y) or 8 half (H) courses, including ENG6999Y1F Critical Topographies (which is equivalent to one full course or two half-credit courses). A common distribution of courseload for the MA stream is 4 half courses in the fall and 4 half courses in the winter. However, as no additional costs are incurred by taking summer courses (fees cover all three terms) some students prefer to spread the courseload over three sessions. Students in the combined JD/MA program will need to complete 3 full (Y) or 6 half (H) courses, including ENG6999Y1F Critical Topographies and 1 full (2 half) or 1 half course from a set of English designated "Law and Literature" courses. Courseload distribution is flexible since students are enrolled 2 years in the MA program. Students in the MA in the Field of Creative Writing program will need to complete 3 full (Y) or 6 half (H) courses which includes ENG6950Y (which is equivalent to one full course or two half-credit courses) and 2 full (Y) or 4 half (H) courses in their first year. A common distribution of courseload for the MA in the Field of Creative Writing students is 3 half courses in the fall and 3 half courses in the winter. Note that MA CRW students are not required to take ENG6999Y1Y. PhD students should plan on taking 3 half courses in both the fall and winter terms, leaving the summer for Comprehensive Exam preparation. All incoming PhD students must add the CR/NRC course ENG8000H Texts, Theories, and Archives to their fall session; PhD Direct Admits must also take ENG6999Y1F Critical Topographies in Year 1 and ENG8000H Texts, Theories, and Archives in Year 2. Both PhD and MA students should, in planning a timetable, remember to factor in preparation time for external awards and PhD applications.
NOTE: One course is equivalent to one credit; a half course is equivalent to a half credit.
Q: I can't get into the course I wanted. What should I do?
A: ACORN and the SWS now have the capability to maintain waiting lists in courses. If the course you have chosen is full, you can choose to join a waiting list. You can only be on one waiting list. We also recommend that you look again at your 2nd and 3rd choices – they may look more attractive! Check ACORN regularly (but not obsessively) there WILL be movement in courses, particularly by the end of the first week of classes.
Q: Should I enrol in fall AND winter courses, or just fall courses?
A: You should enrol in your top choices, irrespective of the session.
Q: When ACORN tells me there are spaces in a course, why am I denied enrolment?
A: The number of spaces available can be misleading - if you are denied enrolment it usually means all the English Dept. spaces are taken. Keep in mind (a) one place in every course is allocated for an out-of-the-department student (b) instructors cross-appointed with another department or centre will hold spaces for students in that department/centre (c) in courses that are cross-listed with another department/centre our allocation will be proportionate.
Q: Why does RST 9999Y (or RST 8888Y) appear on my list of courses?
A: RST 9999Y (and RST 8888Y) are ROSI-generated devices for ensuring students are registered in a course for each session of the year (useful for income tax and OSAP purposes). They do not affect your course load; they are supplementary to it and will disappear once you have completed your degree and convocated.
Q: How can I enrol in a course in another department (or Centre)?
A: Students wishing to take 1 course (or 2 half-courses) outside the department should obtain in writing the approval of the Associate Director, MA or PhD. Not all graduate departments allow students to enrol in courses via the web so check local enrolment procedures. It is not too late to begin this process in Orientation week but you should finalize your timetable before the start of fall term classes..
Q: Are courses taught by English faculty (ie with non English course designators - ENGXXXX) in other graduate units counted as English courses and can I take an additional 1.0 (or 2 half) non English courses?
A: Yes, courses taught by English faculty in other graduate units are considered cross listed courses and will count as English courses which means a student has the option of taking either 0.5 or 1.0 courses outside the department towards completing their coursework requirements. Please note that students must receive in writing the approval of the MA or Phd Associate Director for courses taken outside the department with the exception of cross listed courses taught by English faculty or courses required for a collaborative program.
Q: I have not paid my tuition fees yet. Can I still enrol in courses?
A: Yes, ACORN is set up to handle course enrolment before fees payment. Fees should be paid by September 11th, however (unless deferred through a fellowship or a TAship) – ACORN is quite patient, but eventually you will be removed from courses.
Q: What happens when my status in a course changes from wait-list to approved?
A: You will need to drop one of your other courses RIGHT AWAY! ACORN will not arbitrarily remove you from a course, but the success of the wait-list depends on how quickly spaces are freed up for others.
Q: How can I check if I am on a wait-list?
A: In the SWS, go into Course Enrolment, List of Courses, Wait-list. You can also remove yourself from a wait-list at this point.
Q: I am thinking about taking a summer course, but am concerned they may be oversubscribed. Do you anticipate a problem?
A: No, we don't. With a 4 (full) courseload, many students will wish to complete in fall and spring and take the summer off.
Q: If I am 3rd on the wait-list, is it likely that I will get into the course, and should I attend the first class?
A: Graduate enrolment definitely doesn't have the kind of movement that undergraduate enrolment does, but the first 3 students on a wait-list may attend the first class. With graduate enrolment, what seems to be key is students being flexible and being considerate of each other. If you don't panic or hoard courses or shop around in the first week of class, the process goes surprisingly smoothly!

The AMAZING Cover:
Luke Price's life has always been about order, control, and acting tough on the outside. For Luke, meaningless relationships are a distraction-a way to tune out the twisted memories of his childhood. He desperately wishes he could forget his past, but it haunts him no matter what he does.
Violet Hayes has had a rough life. When she was young, she was left with no family and the memory of her parents' unsolved murders. She grew up in foster homes, living with irresponsible parents, drugs, and neglect, and trying to fight the painful memories of the night her parents were taken from her. But it's hard to forget when she never got closure-and she can't stop dreaming about what happened that tragic night. To make it through life, she keeps her distance from everyone and never allows herself to feel anything.
Then Violet meets Luke. The two clash instantly, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other. Although they fight it, they both start to open up and feel things they've never felt before. They discover just how similar they are. But they also discover something else: The past always catches up with you . . .
For a brief second, I seriously contemplate pushing the emergency button and stopping the elevator, so I can push her back against the wall and kiss her fiercely before pulling away and leaving her. Regain a little of my control and power over the situation.
But as the elevator continues up and my arms stay at my side, I realize that I can't go through with it and honestly I have no idea why. She's messing with my head and I don't know what else to do besides stare at my reflection in the shiny steel doors for the rest of the elevator ride. When the doors open, I let out a breath of relief, glad we're coming to the end of this strange, silent journey. As we approach Violet's dorm room toward the end of the hall, I spot Kayden and Callie standing in front of the door. They're smiling as they talk to each other and they make it look so easy, so natural, like it's as simple as breathing. But even breathing is difficult for me sometimes.
Callie says something and Kayden laughs, but when he sees me walking up the hallway with Violet his expression fills with inquisitiveness.
"What's up?" he asks as we walk up to them. He glances from Violet to me, then his eyebrows arch, his eyes widening a little.
Callie steps out of the way as Violet moves out of my arm and drags her foot as she moves up to the door. "Are you okay?" Callie asks, looking down at Violet's ankle.
"Yeah," Violet answers with indifference as she punches in the code to their room with her finger. The lock beeps and she shoves the door open, tossing her book aside as she starts to shut the door behind her. I'm about to call our stubborn challenge a tie, when she pauses with the door still open a crack, her eyes sparkling with life for the very first time, and says, "Thanks, Mr. Stoically Aloof."
"You're welcome, Violet with no last name," I tell her and then she shuts the door.
Feel free to use with your review!

Romans 1:1-17
These 17 verses are the Introdution to the letter. The section can be sub-divided into three sub-sections but we should note here that this introduction is the longest of all of Paul's letters. In part, as we already noted, it is because Paul was not the founder of the church in Rome. As he explains in chapter 15:20, "…I make it my ambition to proclaim the good news , not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on someone else's foundation".
In other words, the church in Rome was someone else's foundation – not Paul's – and we do not know whose. Thus, he needed to establish the basis for writing to them.
The Salutation: 1-7
This is a long and formal salutation. In Greek, the seven verses are one sentence of ninety words!
The beginning of the letter is typical of all letter beginnings in the Greco-Roman period. First, there is the identity of the sender – here, it is Paul. We have noted that this letter is undoubtedly Pauline, from both internal and external evidence. It was not uncommon – indeed, it was very common – for unknown writers to write in the name of famous individuals. A lot of the pseudepigraphal literature was written in the Greco-Roman period.
So, the writer is Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus. What is translated servant is the Greek doulos, normally used for slave.
In modern society the word slave carries a stigma and negative
connotations. Paul saw himself as a servant so totally committed to his master to the extent of losing his free-will. The bond between Paul and Jesus was similar to that of a slave to his master – he only obeyed his master's bidding.
In the same verse, Paul continues to introduce himself as not only a slave, but he was called. Jesus called him – which reminds us of Jesus calling his disciples. He did not see himself as the initiator, but one who heeded a call. In fact, like the Twelve, Paul saw himself as called to be an apostle.
In Greek apostolos from which we get the term apostle means "one who is sent" – from the verb apostelein, meaning "to send". In the early church, the term was reserved for the twelve disciples. Today, the term is often also used in a generic sense, to mean anyone who is sent to proclaim the gospel.
Paul never saw himself sent in the generic sense. He saw himself as one of that special group of the Twelve. In 1 Corinthians 9:1 he wrote: "…Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?…" What Paul is asserting here is that, like the Twelve, he too saw Jesus, a qualification for the title of apostle.
So, Paul was called to be an apostle. That was the purpose or the mission of his call. Every Christian needs to be sure of one's call because all believers are indeed called. When Jesus called us to follow him, he also designated a mission for the call. What is it? Everyone needs to find that out.
The next thing Paul says, is that he was set apart. The common term we use for setting apart is consecration. A church – the building – for example, is set apart, or consecrated for worship. It may not be used for commerce, for example. In the same way, Jesus' followers are set apart for service to Jesus.
Paul says he was set apart for the gospel of God.
The Gospel is the translation of the Greek Euangelion which means Good News. Note, that Paul here says it is the Good News of God. In his time, good news often meant proclamations from the emperor, for example news of victory in military campaigns, or the birth of an heir. Paul distinguishes the Good News of God from all other proclamations.
What is this Good News of God? It is the whole message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Indeed, it is what the whole epistle to the Romans is all about.
Furthermore, Paul says this gospel was promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures. Holy Scriptures is a reference to the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament. Paul is saying here that the gospel message goes back long before the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem and that the prophetic message was part of the salvation history.
As a matter of fact, after the fall of mankind following the disobedience of our first ancestors, God promised to "put enmity between you (Satan) and the woman and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel" (Gen.3:15).

It's just a f***ing movie!
Hello, again gang! Summer heat is setting in here at the home base so the fan is cranking and the windows are open. Hope you are keeping cool where you are.
So recently the topic came up (again) about the new Ghostbusters remake coming out mid-July. Now there was already enough chatter about the movie way back when it was announced the four leads would be all women. But now the new chatter isn't so much the movie itself, it's about reactions to the trailer, or more specifically one person's reaction to the trailer. The Angry Video Game Nerd.
The Nerd posted a video not to long back, explaining how he has no desire to see the movie. He is a huge fan of the original movies, was one of the fans hoping that a third movie would come out after a multitude of delays, and had no desire to see a reboot. The point was, he refused to review the movie for his show.
Honestly, I wouldn't have cared. I have nothing against him, but I don't really follow his videos enough to care what he does and doesn't want to review. It's his show. But I kept having people on my Facebook feed talking about how horrible and sexist he is. Again, I really didn't care. But then an article written about him started popping up about the very same subject.
Now my interest was perked. I watched said video and you know what? I didn't see it. I didn't see where so many people were calling him sexist. He doesn't like the look of the trailer, he has no inclination to see a remake of the original when he can, you know, watch the original movie, but the way some people talk it was if he dropped the c-word every two seconds.
I had people on my Facebook tell me James is this horrible sexist person and he didn't need to make the video and everything short of being the second gunman on the grassy knoll. People saying (including being hinted at in the article above) that no matter what the reason he is not seeing it was because of the women leads, that him even making this video was sexist, and that he should just have shut up and not said anything at all.
It's just a movie.
Needless to say, I disagree with that sentiment and think these people are being just as sexist as those who really are boycotting the movie JUST because of the women stars.
First, the argument that "He didn't need to make this video". Last I remember, he is a video reviewer. THIS IS WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING. He makes videos and states his opinion. He also has a massive fanbase and is known for being a huge fan of the original movies. I can only guess at how many times people probably sent him letters asking him tp review this very same movie and in one fell swoop he answered all of them. But of course in doing so, you know, what he actually makes his money doing, he is either a sexist or an "entitled fan" who is mad because instead of a third movie or a continuation of the original's storyline, fans were given a complete reboot instead.
No fucking shit.
I love how said article not only slips in accusations of sexism but accuses him of being entitled because the studio "Didn't play into his narrative" and shitting on him for making the video at all.
Because A.V. Club knows what's best for James after all. Pot and Kettle anyone?
These sites also fail to mention the numerous other video reviewers who are saying the exact same thing. Both men and women have come out and said similar things that James did. that this was a needless remake, the effects didn't look any good, and that filling the trailers with shot for shot remakes from the original movie just made this look even more unoriginal and uninspired that people already thought it was. No not a word about any of them being entitled sexists.
Especially the women reviewers.
I get it. In this instant gratification world, people want this movie with its women leads to come out and break every box office record there is and show Hollywood and the viewing audience that a movie with women leads is awesome and that more movies will be made with women as the stars.
If you think THIS will be the movie that does all that in one go then I'm sorry for the disappointment you are going to have.
Here is the thing, and follow me on this, this movie is a reboot. Reboots don't exactly have the best reputation with viewing audiences nowadays. A lot of them do not do very well, let alone with established fan bases. Remember what happened with Jem or The Smurfs? The only reboot series that I've seen this not happen to is Star Trek and maybe the Ninja Turtles. I don't see this happening here. Those two movies at least had original stories going for them, this one doesn't seem to have that from what the trailers are showing me.
And the other thing and a LOT of people do not want to hear this, but if you think that having the four lead characters being women was some great progressive movement or some social statement, you are really going to be disappointed.
It's a gimmick. A gimmick to have a reason for more than one Ghostbusters team. That's it. The whole goal of this was to give the studio it's own movie franchise like the Marvel movies. You know, have multiple different movies that all take place in the same universe with the idea of doing big budget cross over pictures later on down the line. The difference is, Ghostbusters aren't superheroes. They don't have different powers or abilities. They all have the same gear and do the same thing. So what do you do when you need two different reoccurring casts that all do the same thing? Make one of them women. You can then have a men vs. women crossover down the line. It also makes for a handy hook to sell to people and movie execs as well. If you don't believe that, the fact that the movie studio right after announcing this movie would have four women in the leads, they announced that they were making another reboot with an all-male cast show how much they give a shit about any progressive ideas.
Don't get me wrong, there are some real sexist assholes out there. A lot of the negative reviews for this movie ARE totally sexist. But you know what? Just because of the women leads does not make it any less sexist to shame people who just don't care to see it either. It really is just a movie, so take it off the pedestal and stop being so mad because some people see it as another soulless Hollywood remake and not some overblown symbol of social change a lot of people are making this out to be.

Who is He?
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared at Sridhama Mayapura, in the city of Navadvipa in Bengal, on the Phalguni Purnima evening in the year 1486 AD. His father, Jagannatha Mishra, a learned brahmana from the district of Sylhet, came to Navadvipa as a student. He lived on the banks of the Ganges with his wife Srimati Sacidevi, the daughter of Srila Nilambara Cakravarti, a great learned scholar of Navadvipa. Their youngest son, who was named Visvambhara, later became known as Nimai Pandita and then, after accepting the renounced order of life, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
His Mission – The Universal Religion
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission was to preach the importance of chanting the holy names of the Lord in this age of Kali (quarrel). In this present age quarrels take place even over trifles, and therefore the ancient scriptures have recommended for this age a common platform for realisation, namely chanting the holy names of the Lord. People can hold meetings to glorify the Lord in their respective languages and with melodious songs, and if such performances are executed in an offenseless manner, it is certain that the participants will gradually attain spiritual perfection without having to undergo more rigorous methods. At such meetings everyone, the learned and the foolish, the rich and the poor, can all hear the transcendental sounds and thus cleanse the dust of material association from the mirror of the heart. To confirm the Lord's mission, all the people of the world will accept the holy name of the Lord as the common platform for the universal religion of mankind.
His Pastimes
The wonderful pastimes performed by Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the city of Navadvipa and in Jagannath Puri are recorded by His biographers. The early life of the Lord is most fascinatingly expressed by the author of Caitanya-bhagavata (by Sri Vrindavana Dasa Thakura), and as far as the teachings are concerned, they are most vividly explained in the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta (by Sri Krishna Dasa Kaviraja Gosvami). Now they are available to the English-speaking public in our Teachings of Lord Caitanya.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu preached the Srimad-Bhagavatam and propagated the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita in the most practical way.
The essence of His teachings is recorded in Caitanya Manjusha as follows:
Lord Sri Krishna, who appeared as the son of the King of Vraja (Nanda Maharaja), is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the incarnation of mercy for all and even the most wicked get His shelter. Vrindavana-dhama is non-different from the Lord and hence is as worshipable as the Lord. The highest form of transcendental worship of the Lord was exhibited by the damsels of Vrajabhumi. Srimad-Bhagavata Purana is the spotless literature for understanding the Lord. The ultimate goal of human life is to attain the stage of prema, or love of God. The Lord left only eight slokas of His instructions in writing, and they are known as the Siksastakam. All other literatures based on His teachings were extensively written by the Lord's principal followers, the six Gosvamis of Vrindavana, and their followers.

I just opened the iTunes store to attempt to buy last night's episode of Battlestar Galactica and was greeted with a message telling me that my store credit balance is currently unavailable. I found that odd because I don't currently have any credits in the store, but it turns out that all of the credit processing in the iTunes store — including credit cards — may be down right now.
A quick scan of Twitter Search is yielding hundreds of users with the same issue starting about 10 hours ago. The error is a pop-up message that shows up anytime you try to buy something and it reads:
Due to a problem with the iTunes Store, your store credit balance is temporarily unavailable for use in purchasing music; you may continue purchasing using a different method of payment.
Of course, it's not just a problem for purchasing music. I not only tried my television show, but also tried buying an application from the App Store, which didn't work either. I then tried entering in another credit card as my "different method of payment," and that failed as well.
Many of the Twitter users are joking about switching over to BitTorrent to acquire their media through less-than-legal means. Or maybe they're not joking. Regardless, Apple better hope it can get the service back up soon.
I've contacted Apple about the issue and will update if I hear back.
Update: The issue has now been resolved, but there's still no word from Apple as to what caused the problem.

Line of Scrimmage: Packers, Saints in early state of urgency
Philadelphia, PA – There's no such thing as a must-win game during the second week of the NFL season. For the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans, however, their next outing is about as close as one can get to the critical stage at this point.
Both projected powerhouses, who combined for a sterling 28-4 record in the 2011 regular season, put forth performances more resembling also-rans in highly disappointing debuts. The mighty Packers were outmuscled on their home turf by the NFC's new bully on the block, the San Francisco 49ers, while the Saints became an unwilling facilitator to the growing legend of Robert Griffin III with a sloppy and shocking loss to the rising Washington Redskins on the same Superdome field they were virtually unstoppable on a year ago.
Those defeats weren't only alarming, but painfully revealing in regards to the two teams' vulnerability in a conference that at first glance appears to be even more jumbled and wide open than last season, when the New York Giants emerged from the pack despite a 9-7 finish that stood as the worst mark among the six playoff entrants.
The Packers were predictable on offense and extremely exploitable on defense in their 30-22 loss to the physical 49ers, with San Francisco running the ball at will and rendering Aaron Rodgers into mere mortal status with a seek-and- destroy mentality that took full advantage of Green Bay's disproportionate dependency on the pass.
While the Packers' flaws do seem quite correctable, they only have a mere three days to smooth out the rough spots before a meeting with another opponent capable of exposing their weaknesses. And this one happens to reside in their own division.
The Chicago Bears will come into Thursday's showdown at Lambeau Field both determined and confident after easily disposing of lightweight Indianapolis in their opener. While Green Bay will present a far greater challenge than the reconstructing Colts, the Bears also look to be considerably more formidable than the team the Packers have pushed around routinely over the past few years with a healthy and more assured Jay Cutler under center and the addition of game-changing wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
It goes without saying that a loss to the Bears would put a severe dent in Green Bay's chances of repeating as NFC North champion, as a two-game deficit in the standings with only six home dates remaining would be an uphill climb for any team, even one that went 15-1 one year after winning the Super Bowl. And that alone should be enough to raise the intensity up a notch in a rivalry that rarely ever lacks motivation regardless of the stakes.
While the Saints may have been due for a period of transition after having head coach Sean Payton exiled for the entire season for their affront of Commissioner Roger Goodell with their pay-for-performance scheme, his absence doesn't excuse the defense's wretched display against a rookie quarterback making his initial professional start in Sunday's 40-32 clunker against Griffin and the Redskins. Nor does Aaron Kromer's suspension-coerced elevation into first in command explain the uncharacteristically off-target afternoon of quarterback Drew Brees, who connected on a Tebow-esque 46 percent of his pass attempts in his first effort after setting a new league standard for that category in 2011.
Excused or not, the Saints have problems, and ones that needed to be fixed in very short order. If a green rookie like Griffin can pile up 320 yards with relative ease right out of the chute, imagine what a proven air assassin like Rodgers would be able to accomplish when New Orleans heads to Lambeau Field in two weeks. Or when the Saints pay a visit to Denver in late October for an encounter with Peyton Manning.
Of course, New Orleans can't be focused on the daunting challenges that lie ahead, not with a pivotal divisional road game against Carolina right on the horizon. Although the Panthers were unexpectedly lethargic on offense in an ugly loss at Tampa Bay last week, there's more than enough talent on that side of the ball to create another day of headaches for new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and heartache for the entire Who Dat Nation.
It's quite possible the Saints were simply just caught off guard in the opener, and the team's admirable track record of both success and overcoming adverse situations suggests that their Week 1 showing may not be an accurate indicator of the future. Then again, having the organizational infrastructure blown apart by a vindictive Goodell as punishment for its bounty crimes may prove to be too much for New Orleans to overcome.
The answer should become infinitely more clear on Sunday, when Brees and his mates square off against the dangerous Cam Newton and a Carolina squad that's at a similar crossroads at this juncture.

After very nearly crashing and burning with last week's choice of Detroit, maybe a more sweatless selection should be in order for Round 2. And in glancing over the upcoming schedule, the candidate that clearly stands out is New England.
The Patriots are a dominant home team that will face a quarterback in Arizona's Kevin Kolb who's pressed into duty after failing to claim a starting job he had the inside track on in the preseason, although the maligned and injury-prone passer did do some good things when taking over for an ailing John Skelton in the Cardinals' Week 1 win over Seattle.
Add in Arizona's extremely dubious history in cross-country games with early kickoffs, and it seems like a clear recipe for success.
For those intending on saving the Patriots for later in the season, Cincinnati could be a good bet at home against a Cleveland team that looked absolutely awful on offense in the opener and will be without arguably its best defender, suspended cornerback Joe Haden.

Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald three catches shy of becoming youngest in NFL history (29) to reach 700 for career ...

Philadelphia signed wide receiver Mardy Gilyard on Tuesday while waiving safety Jaiquawn Jarrett, team's second-round selection in 2011 draft.
PREDICTION: Ravens will encounter difficulty from Philadelphia's outstanding pass rush and the speed of running back LeSean McCoy, and Vick can't be as bad as he was last week. Eagles 24, Ravens 21.

Cleveland defense recorded four interceptions of Philadelphia's Michael Vick in opener, with linebacker D'Qwell Jackson returning one pick 27 yards for club's only touchdown ... Bengals wide receiver Andrew Hawkins tallied career bests for catches (eight) and receiving yards (86) against Ravens, while running back and offseason pickup BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for 91 yards and touchdown on 18 attempts in first game with Cincinnati.
PREDICTION: Bengals still have plenty of problems to sort out, but should be able to find some success against a punchless Cleveland team that was lucky to be in last week's game. Bengals 24, Browns 10.
Houston (1-0) at Jacksonville (0-1), Sunday, 1 p.m.

Houston held Dolphins to 275 total yards and no offensive touchdowns in opener, while standout receiver Andre Johnson amassed 119 yards and a touchdown on eight catches for Texans ... Houston running back Arian Foster averages 103.3 rushing yards against Jacksonville for career and needs just 20 yards on the ground to become Texans' all-time leader in that category ... Houston quarterback Matt Schaub one touchdown pass shy of reaching 100 for career.
PREDICTION: Gabbert is showing improvement, but still has a ways to go before the Jaguars can be picked with any amount of confidence to overtake a Houston outfit that's solid in just about all areas. Texans 23, Jaguars 13.

New Orleans has won four straight in series and followed up 30-27 victory in Charlotte last October with 45-17 home trashing of Carolina in 2011 regular-season finale, and has averaged 36.3 points in last three wins over Panthers ... Saints quarterback Drew Brees piled up 389 passing yards and five touchdowns in Week 17 rout of Panthers and put up 339 yards and three scores last weekend, but was intercepted twice ... 2011 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Cam Newton threw for 303 yards for Panthers in Sunday's loss, while also tossing a pair of picks ... New Orleans wide receiver Lance Moore finished with 120 yards and a touchdown on six catches against Redskins, while teammate Marques Colston compiled 145 yards and two scores on seven receptions in Saints' most recent matchup with Carolina ... Panthers top target Smith finished with 106 yards on seven grabs in opener ... Saints signed wideout Greg Camarillo on Wednesday.
PREDICTION: Both offenses will be far more effective than each showed last week, but it's hard to go against Brees and a somewhat-desperate Saints squad if it's indeed a shootout. Saints 31, Panthers 27.

First home regular-season start for Miami rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who threw three interceptions and failed to lead the offense into end zone against tough Texans ... Dolphins' lone touchdown in Week 1 came on 72-yard punt return by reserve running back Marcus Thigpen ... Revamped Oakland defense held Chargers to 32 rushing yards and 258 total in opener, but committed three special-teams miscues that led to nine San Diego points ... Raiders have lost three straight and nine of their last 10 non- playoff tests with Miami, including a 34-14 defeat at Sun Life Stadium last December in which Dolphins rushed for 200 yards, but did come through with a 35-17 triumph in South Florida in 2007 ... Oakland's Darren McFadden set new franchise record for receptions by a running back with a 13-catch, 86-yard outburst in Monday's tilt ... Miami running back Reggie Bush totaled 115 yards from scrimmage in opener and aiming for third straight 100-yard rushing effort at home, one of which came against the Raiders.
PREDICTION: Short week and an early start time after a cross-country trip could be an ominous scenario for Raiders, but Dolphins are so inept offensively it may not really matter. Raiders 20, Dolphins 10.

Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan was an assistant under Giants head coach Tom Coughlin from 2004-11 and spent the last two seasons as New York's quarterbacks coach.
PREDICTION: Buccaneers' revamped defense looked good in shutting down a Carolina team with its share of firepower and should keep them in it, but Giants are the fresher and more battled-tested club. Giants 24, Buccaneers 17.

Dallas has taken last three games in series, including 23-13 triumph at Cowboys Stadium last November in which running back DeMarco Murray rushed for 139 yards, but has fallen in last two trips to CenturyLink Field (counting playoffs) since last prevailing there in 2004 ... Murray added 131 yards on 20 carries in this year's opener, while wide receiver Kevin Ogletree broke out for career highs of eight catches, 114 yards and two touchdowns for Dallas ... Murray goes up against stout Seahawks defense which limited Cardinals to just 43 yards on the ground on 20 attempts last Sunday ... Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch had 135 rushing yards and a touchdown in last year's clash with Cowboys and leads NFL in that category (1,026 yards) since that contest.
PREDICTION: A boisterous home crowd and Seattle's rugged defense won't make it easy on Romo, but Cowboys' talent and experience edges win out in a close one. Cowboys 17, Seahawks 13.

Washington sacked Rams quarterback Sam Bradford seven times in last year's meeting, with outside linebacker Brian Orakpo netting 2 1/2 takedowns and forcing a fumble ... Redskins signed veteran long snapper Justin Snow on Tuesday to fill in for Sundberg.
PREDICTION: Griffin looks more like a rookie against an improved and somewhat underrated St. Louis defense, though the Rams' injury problems along the offensive line will be too much to overcome. Redskins 26, Rams 13.
New York Jets (1-0) at Pittsburgh (0-1), Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
LINE: Steelers by 5 1/2

New York attempting to maintain momentum after erupting for unforeseen, 48-28 throttling of visiting Buffalo in Week 1, with starting signal-caller Mark Sanchez throwing for three touchdowns and Jets also getting scores on defense (Antonio Cromartie interception return) and special teams (Kerley punt return) ... Pittsburgh aiming to bounce back from 31-19 road loss to Peyton Manning-led Broncos last Sunday in which Denver produced 24 second-half points to prevail, and has won nine consecutive home openers ...

Revis is a native of nearby Aliquippa, Pa., and played collegiately at University of Pittsburgh, while Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes spent first four NFL seasons with Steelers from 2006-09.
PREDICTION: Rex Ryan's aggressive defense will pose some problems for a Pittsburgh front line that doesn't protect Ben Roethlisberger all that well, but Jets offense won't nearly resemble the juggernaut it appeared to be in the opener. Steelers 24, Jets 20.

Chargers come back to San Diego off hard-earned 22-14 victory at rival Oakland on Monday, with kicker Nate Kaeding tying career-best with five field goals to account for most of team's scoring, and shoot for first 2-0 beginning since 14-win season in 2006 ...

San Francisco puts six-game regular-season home winning streak on line and comes in off impressive 30-22 road ousting of 2011 NFC top playoff seed Green Bay last Sunday, while Detroit rallied for harder-than-expected 27-23 home decision over St. Louis in Week 1 on touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford to running back Kevin Smith with 10 seconds to play ... Lions vying for first win in San Francisco since 1975 and have dropped eight straight overall to Niners since a 27-24 triumph in 1995 ...

Second-year wide receiver Julio Jones also had big day for Atlanta, accumulating 108 yards and two touchdowns on six catches ...

Syrian security forces opened fire during one of the largest anti-government protests so far in the 10-week uprising, and activists said at least 34 people were killed Friday in a city where thousands died in a failed 1982 revolt against the regime.
President Bashar Assad's forces renewed their assault on towns seen as key to the demonstrations calling for an end to his family's 40-year rule. The regime also cut Internet service across most of the country, a potentially dire blow for a movement that motivates people with graphic YouTube videos of the crackdown and loosely organizes protests on Facebook pages.
The Internet shutdown, if it continues, could also hamper the movement's ability to reach the world outside Syria, where the government has severely restricted the media and expelled foreign reporters, making it nearly impossible to independently verify what is happening there. Still many activists found alternate ways to log on and upload videos, such as satellite connections.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said tens of thousands of people were protesting in Hama when security forces opened fire. He said the Hama protest was among the largest yet in the uprising that began in mid-March.
Friday's protests appeared to be the biggest of the 10-week uprising, with people gathering in larger numbers in cities and towns that before had less participation. Protesters also gathered in several Damascus suburbs, as well as the capital's central Midan neighborhood, which has seen demonstrations in recent weeks.
Abdul-Rahman said security forces killed one person in the village of Has in the northern province of Idlib. Another rights activist, Mustafa Osso said security forces shot dead three protesters in the northeastern city of Deir el-Zour. State-run TV said five policemen were wounded there but did not say how.
"It is a real massacre. It is terrorism by itself and they want the people to stay silent," said an activist in Hama. The activist, who like many involved in the protests requested anonymity to avoid reprisals, said hospitals were calling on people to donate blood.
Syria's state-run TV said three "saboteurs" were killed when police tried to stop them from setting a government building on fire in Hama. The Syrian government blames armed gangs and religious extremists for the violence.
In 1982, Assad's father and predecessor Hafez Assad, crushed a Sunni uprising by shelling Hama, killing 10,000 to 25,000 people, according to Amnesty International estimates.
As the Friday Muslim prayers ended, worshippers left the mosques and marched in cities, towns and villages. Syrian security forces dispersed some, mostly using batons, tear gas and water cannons and fired live ammunition in at least two locations in southern and northeastern towns.
Rights groups say more than 1,100 people have been killed since the revolt against Assad erupted in mid-March.
An eyewitness in Hama reached by The Associated Press said there were around 150,000 demonstrators, an unprecedented number if confirmed. He described a chaotic scene, with security forces firing tear gas and live ammunition, and snipers shooting from the rooftops as people fled.
"There are many killed and wounded people, the hospital is full," he said. "I fled the area but I can still hear sporadic gunfire."
Syrian troops also pounded the central town of Rastan with artillery and gunfire for a seventh day, killing at least two people. The Local Coordination Committees, which helps organize and document Syria's protests, says troops also opened fire on residents fleeing the town.
Friday's deaths bring the toll in Rastan and nearby Talbiseh to 74 killed since last Saturday.
The opposition had called for Friday's nationwide rallies to commemorate the nearly 30 children killed by Assad's regime during the uprising.
In the southern city of Daraa, where the uprising began 10 weeks ago, scores of people rallied in the city's old quarter, chanting "No dialogue with the killers of children," an activist said.
The protesters were referring to a decree by Assad to set up a committee tasked with leading a national dialogue.
The regime also released hundreds of political prisoners this week after Assad issued a pardon. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said leading Kurdish politician Mashaal Tammo and Muhannad al-Hassani, who heads the Syrian Organization for Human Rights, were released Thursday.
A Syrian activist said authorities cut Internet service in several parts of the country, apparently to prevent activists from uploading footage of the protests and the government crackdown and from organizing new resistance. In Damascus, several people contacted over the phone said the Internet was down.
Renesys, a trusted U.S. firm that specializes in keeping tabs on Internet connectivity, confirmed the Syrian outage and said two-thirds of all Syrian networks were unavailable.
Video surfaced earlier this week on YouTube, Facebook and websites of Hamza al-Khatib, a 13-year-old boy whose tortured and mutilated body was returned to his family weeks after he disappeared during the protests.
The boy has since become a symbol to Syria's uprising and many people carried his posters during anti-regime rallies this week.

OMG! Keke Wyatt & Her Brother Sing Marvin Gaye Jam & KILL IT! Must See!
We all know Keke Wyatt is a SANGIN' somebody! She can sing the McDonald's menu and make it sound like a soulful masterpiece. As a matter of fact, one of my dream concerts and bedtime lullabies (LOL) would feature Keke Wyatt, Fantasia, Patti, Chaka, Kelly Price and then I'd mellow it out with some Minnie Riperton and The Jones Girls…okay I digressed just now, so let me get back on track…
Keke recently posted one of her #kekecovers Youtube videos and this time she included her brother, Keever West, in the mix, but we had NO IDEA that dude could sing just as good as his sister!
Keke and Keever covered Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" in honor of all of the senseless killings that have happened in recent times and mailed it! Check out their version below and let us know if it gave y'all goosebumps. It's THAT good!
