The erythropoietin test measures the amount of a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) in blood.
The hormone tells stem cells in the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. EPO is made by cells in the kidney. These cells release more EPO when blood oxygen levels are low.
See also: Reticulocyte count
Serum erythropoietin; EPO
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test may be used to help determine the cause of anemia, polycythemia (high red blood cell count) or other bone marrow disorders.
A change in red blood cells will affect the release of EPO. For example, persons with anemia have too few red blood cells, so more EPO is produced.
The normal range is 0-19 milliunits per milliliter (mU/mL).
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Increased EPO levels may be due to secondary polycythemia, an overproduction of red blood cells that occurs in response to an event such as low blood oxygen levels. This may happen at high altitudes or, rarely, because of a tumor that releases EPO.
Lower-than-normal EPO levels may be seen in chronic kidney failure, anemia of chronic disease, or polycythemia vera.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

After a court acquitted her of murder charges, Casey Anthony is filing for bankruptcy, saying she's only worth $1,100 and still owes close to $800,000 to her lawyers and law enforcement officials.

Casey Anthony
Anthony owes about $792,000 -- most of it to her defense attorney, according to a Chapter 7 petition filed Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, The Associated Press reported.
She also faces three civil lawsuits stemming from the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee Marie, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The 2-year-old girl was reported missing in July 2008 and her body was found that December near the home of Casey Anthony's parents in the Orlando area.
Anthony was found not guilty of murder in July 2011 but was convicted of lying about the child's disappearance. She was sentenced to time served, and on Friday an appeals court struck down two of the lying convictions.
Anthony claimed that a babysitter had kidnapped Caylee, and a woman with the same name is suing for defamation, as is the former meter reader who found the body -- he says Anthony's attorneys damaged him by painting him as a possible killer.
The third suit is by Texas EquuSearch, a search and rescue organization, which says it spent more than $100,000 searching for Caylee.
Anthony's bankruptcy filing said she had only $1,084; here are her main debts, according to the Sentinel report:
- About $500,000 to defense attorney Jose Baez
- $145,660.21: Orange County Sheriff's Office
- $68,540: Internal Revenue Service
- $61,505: Florida Department of Law Enforcement
- $10,283.90: to the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation

Meanwhile, make up the couscous following the packet instructions – it will take about 450ml boiling water to give it a nice fluffy texture. Fork through the lemon zest and mint. Season to taste.
Spoon the couscous onto serving plates, pile the Quorn mixture on top and scatter with the cashews.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9205 was one of the few devices which were promised to get updated to KitKat — and XXUDNE4 Android 4.4.2 is the representation of that promise getting fulfilled. This firmware update is a important one as not only it brings the all new Android KitKat but it also carries over some of the latest TouchWiz UI & UX features. Started of as an experimentation, Galaxy Mega has seen some interest in the community. We hope to see an upgrade to the hardware this year but it is good to know Samsung has not forgotten the original device. You can get this firmware directly from Samsung KIES or OTA (Over-the-air) system update. However, there is a greater chance of you not finding this due to the limited regions it has been released in. Fortunately, in that case you can follow along our detailed tutorial on manually updating to this firmware. You can easily update Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE I9205 to XXUDNE4 Android 4.4.2 KitKat official firmware from our tutorial below.
As you continue reading below, we will guide you how to install XXUDNE4 Android 4.4.2 KitKat on Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE I9205 using ODIN. Please note, I9205XXUDNE4 firmware is an official firmware by Samsung, not a custom or modified firmware. We have also given some tips on how to backup your phone data and have given some other important tips. Don't forget to backup all your apps and personal data as a precaution. Check if ALL of your data is backed up before proceeding. Let's continue with the tutorial now.
Disclaimer: All the custom ROMs and firmwares, official software updates, tools, mods or anything mentioned in the tutorial belong to their respective owners/developers. We (TeamAndroid.com) or the developers are not to be held responsible if you damage or brick your device. We don't have you on gun point to try out this tutorial 😉

Country: Albania (Vodafone)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1496203

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE USB Drivers
You will need to connect your Android phone with the computer. For that, please make sure you have installed the USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE properly. If not, you can download the latest official drivers from our Android USB Drivers section here:
Download Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE USB drivers!
Backup and Other Important Tips
Done with the USB drivers? Perfect. The tutorial is on the next page, but first, please take a look at the following tips and important points you need to take care of. These are important, as we don't want anyone losing their personal data or apps:
Always backup your important data that you might need after you install a new custom ROM, an official software update or anything else. Make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong. See below for some tips on how to backup data:
- Backup your Apps. How? –> How to Backup Android Apps.
- Backup your SMS messages. How? –> How to Backup/Restore SMS Messages.
- Backup Contacts, Gmail and Google Data. How? –> Sync with Google Sync.
- Backup Call History. How? –> How to Backup Call History.
- Backup WhatsApp Messages. How? –> How to Backup/Restore WhatsApp Messages.
- Backup APN Settings: GPRS, 3G, MMS Settings. How? Note down everything from: Settings > Wireless & Networks (More…) > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
Samsung users can also back up data using Samsung KIES. If you backup data manually, you get more options what to choose from and it is very easy to move data across Android devices from different manufacturers, i.e moving Samsung Galaxy Note backup data to HTC One X.
If you already have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP etc.) installed on your phone, we strongly recommend a backup using that as it creates a complete image of your existing phone set up.
A few more optional tips that you should remember:
1. Having problems connecting your Android phone to the computer? You need to enable USB debugging mode. See here: How to Enable USB Debugging — for Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and KitKat.
2. Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85% battery level. This might help you: How to Check Battery Percentage. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. No one wants that, right?
4. Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on Team Android are for factory unlocked Android phones and tablets. We recommend NOT to try our guides if your phone is locked to a carrier, unless we have specified the carrier name or device model.
If you find the above tips useful and they were helpful to you, please consider giving us a +1 or LIKE to thank us!
All set and ready? Good. You can now head over to the next page and update Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE I9205 to Android 4.4.2 XXUDNE4 official firmware update.

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - Corryn Brown's Kamloops team defeated Manitoba's Shannon Birchard 6-3 on Sunday night to win the women's Canadian junior curling championships.
Brown's team of 17-year-olds — third Erin Pincott, second Sam Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser — will represent Canada later this month at the world juniors in Sochi, Russia.
Trending Stories
It was B.C.'s first gold medal at the tournament since 1987 when Julie Sutton won her second straight with a victory in Prince Albert, Sask.
"It feels incredible," said Brown. "It hasn't really sunk in too much right now. But it's just unbelievable. Going to Russia is going to be incredible, and having the Maple Leaf on our back is going to be even better. I could not be more proud of these girls."
It was a tight first five ends, with B.C. taking a 1-0 lead with a single point in the fourth when Brown made an open hit while looking at three Manitoba counters.
Birchard responded in the sixth when she made a cold draw to the four-foot to score two and take her first lead of the game.
But B.C. answered back in the seventh as Brown made a spectacular triple takeout to score three and take a 4-2 lead.
"We were fortunate enough to have that set up, and we thought the worst we can do if I miss it is give up one," said Brown. "So we thought the benefits outweighed the risks. We tried and ended up making it."
In the eighth end, Birchard was looking at five B.C. rocks in the rings, but coolly drew to bite a piece of the button to score one and cut Brown's lead to 4-3.
Brown made an open hit for a single in the ninth to restore her two-point lead.
In the 10th, Birchard had a runback double takeout to score two and force an extra end, but the rock jammed, giving B.C. a steal and the victory.
"There was just so much moving at once, and then all of a sudden ours stopped just outside of the eight-foot, and we knew we won it," said Brown. "It's an incredible feeling to know that we did enough to pull out that win in the last end."
It was the second straight year that Winnipeg's Birchard has finished second at the Canadian juniors. Playing with lead Mariah Mondor, she lost last year's final to Alberta's Jocelyn Peterman at Napanee, Ont.
"It's definitely heartbreaking," Birchard said. "Coming back into this, it was a way better final than last year. Just a couple missed shots here and there that really killed us. I was deep with my last shot in the seventh and set up that automatic triple for three. It was there all day and she was going to make it up, no matter what."
Her team this year was rounded out by third Nicole Sigvaldason and second Sheyna Andries.
"They're a great team and they're going to represent the country really well in Sochi," added Birchard.
Manitoba's Matt Dunstone won the men's final on Saturday.

The Center for Native Oral Health Research (CNOHR) conducts research aimed at developing culturally acceptable and effective strategies to prevent infectious oral diseases in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. Although both caries (cavities) and periodontal (gum) disease are entirely preventable, disparities in oral health for American Indians and Alaska Natives are among the highest reported. Our research is directly informed by the needs of the tribes with which we work, and Native consultants and colleagues are at the center of program development and delivery. We emphasize behavioral and community-based strategies, since the prevention of chronic and infectious processes will always be dependent on individual factors involved in accessing and using health knowledge and clinical intervention. In other words, we believe in prevention through empowerment. Consistent with the complexity of this approach, our faculty investigators represent more than a dozen academic and professional disciplines and also include individuals of Native background.
CNOHR was established in 2008, with funding from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, a division of National Institutes of Health (NIDCR U54DE019259). It is one of five centers nationally that are focused on oral health disparities, and one of three Collaborating Centers for Early Childhood Caries – along with Centers at the University of California at San Francisco and Boston University. CNOHR is the only one of these oral health disparities centers that addresses the specific needs of the AI/AN population. At the University of Colorado, CNOHR is one of several Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health within the Department of Community and Behavioral Health of the Colorado School of Public Health. We collaborate closely in our work with the School of Dental Medicine.
As CNOHR continues to develop capacity, increasing emphasis will be placed on supporting developmental work that shows promise for demonstrating the effectiveness of emerging prevention and treatment strategies. Our program of Developmental Research will provide funding and opportunities for such efforts. Meanwhile, CNOHR approaches can be best understood through descriptions of the two major projects that began data collection in 2011.

I had completely forgot about this until I came home from my doctor's appointment this past Monday and found a UPS box at my doorstep! Jon asked me what I had ordered and I told him nothing. I didn't remember that Quaker had promised to send me something until I opened the box. Inside was not one, but six boxes of Quaker Soft Baked Bars and a thank you note!! The people are Quaker thanked me for my review and told me to enjoy these bars with my family and friends.
Isn't that so cool!? I still cannot believe that they sent me more than one box. I eat Quaker oatmeal everyday and love their products. I am so thankful for the way that they showed their appreciation to me!
So if you have not tried them yet, get yourself some of these bars, because they are delicious!!

Moderating Korean War Veterans Association of the USA, Inc Discussion on Veterans/Armed Forces Network!
The moderators are the people who make sure that users are following the Forum Rules. They are here to help members and to protect members and the forum itself, from those few, who do not want to act as adults. Their job is not an easy one, so I have to thank them all for offering to help run this site.
Please find below the rules with which this forum is moderated. These are the rules that moderators should adhere to, when doing their job. Of course, like several things in life, this is not final, changes will obviously be made in the future.
The rules below are established in order to make their life and member's life easier.
1 The moderator's role is to enforce the Forum Rules among the Forum members. This is an administrative task, not a law enforcement task and should be treated as such, both by the moderators and the members.
2 The moderator acts as a role model for the rest of the members. The moderator's behavior has to set an example to how other members should behave in the forum.
3 The moderator does not have friends and enemies, all members should be treated the same by every moderator. A moderator should not allow his personal feelings to influence his judgment about the content of this forum, or the behavior of the members. These are defined by the forum rules and the moderator's personal feelings have nothing to do with them.
4 The moderator has the right to edit or delete member's threads or posts, if he thinks that these are not according to the Forum Rules. He is not allowed to edit or delete a thread or a post, simply because he does not agree with its content or the member who submitted it. Typically a thread or a post will be edited or deleted, if it contains politics, vulgar or foul language, nudity or comments which can be insulting for other members of the forum, keeping in mind the international characteristics of the Internet. Please be advised, that your original posted, before it is edited or deleted by the moderator, is stored in a special area, for dispute resolution.
5 A moderator has the right to move a thread to another forum if he thinks that this would be a more appropriate area for that thread. A relocation message should be left behind, so that people can follow up the thread. Please keep in mind that this board has a Warning System, through which the moderators can issue warnings to members who do not follow the Forums Rules. Usually moderators do not warn new users for 'offenses'. However, a seasoned member will be warned, if his actions are not according to the Forums Rules.
6 A moderator has not the right to ban a user from the forum. This will be done only after consultation with the other moderators and the forum's administrator. A moderator should use the Warning System to issue warnings for member's offenses. These warnings CAN result in a member being banned and this is not considered a violation of this rule. However, a moderator should consult with other moderators and/or the forum administrator, before issuing a 'Permanent Ban' warning (see the FAQ, for details on the Warning System).
7 When a moderator participates in a discussion, he should do it in accordance with rules (2) and (3) above. In no case, should a moderator use his administrative role, as a weighting factor in such a discussion. When participating in a discussion, the moderator is treated as just any other member, and is subjected to the same rules that apply for the members, only he is judged more strictly, since he has to set the example for the members.
8 Every member who has a specific and documented complain about a moderator should directly discuss the problem with the moderator himself. If he is not satisfied with the outcome, the member can notify the forum's administrator, with his complain, while concurrently cc-ing the particular moderator. I expect both members and moderators to act as responsible adults, not as babies.
9 Moderators should always keep in mind that this forum is (and will always remain) a gentleman's playground, where members come to enjoy themselves. They deserve the utmost respect, and that is what they should get. Your actions should be well justified and the member against whom you are taking actions, should be aware of the reasons which caused your actions. Under no circumstances a moderator can edit/remove a thread or post, without explaining his actions to the offending member.
10 If a moderator faces a severe problem with a member, and he is not sure how to handle it, it is best to bring the problem to the 'Staff Lounge' for discussion. The same is true for the members of course, according to (8 above.
Practically speaking, if:
1 A moderator notices a new thread which is not in accordance with the forum rules: He moves the thread to a specified forum, where it remains for dispute reasons. That forum is accessible only to moderators and admin. The moderator will also use the Warning System to warn the user for his behavior. The Warning System will notify the member of the warning he/she received, automatically.
2 A moderator notices a post in an existing thread which is not in accordance with the forum rules. The moderator uses the Warning System to warn the member and copies the post in the specified forum. The post is edited and the reasons for the moderator's actions are stated where the post was, in the thread.
3 A moderator notices a thread which does not fit in the forum it was posted. The thread is moved to the proper forum, leaving a redirection link in the original forum. The moderator has to warn the member, using the Warning System, unless the member is very new to the board, in which time a PM should be send explaining the problem.
4 A moderator has a significant problem with one member and wishes that this member be banned from the forum. He posts a message in the appropriate forum (Staff Lounge) explaining the reasons for which he wants the user banned. Other moderators provide their opinions. Decision is reached. If the member is banned a message is send to the offending member explaining the reasons he/she was banned.

Carvedilol is the generic form of Coreg, used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure.
Heart failure prevents the heart from pumping an adequate amount of blood to all parts of the body.
This drug may also be given to people whose hearts cannot pump blood as well as they used to because of a heart attack.
Carvedilol is a beta blocker that will relax your blood vessels and slow your heart rate so that your blood flow improves and your blood pressure goes down.
Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995, carvedilol is sold under the brand names Coreg and Coreg CR.
GlaxoSmithKline manufactures the brand-name drugs and several pharmaceutical companies make the generic carvedilol.
Carvedilol is available as a tablet and extended-release capsule, and it's often prescribed in combination with other medications.
While taking carvedilol can't cure you, it may help to control your symptoms.
There are no adequate studies to determine how carvedilol might affect you if you are pregnant.
There is also no conclusive evidence as to whether it might harm your baby if you are taking it while breastfeeding.
Let your doctor know right way if you are pregnant, might become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
If you are prescribed carvedilol, you should never stop taking it without first speaking to your doctor.
If your physician decides to take you off carvedilol, he/she may gradually decrease your dose over one to two weeks.
If your dose is decreased, it's a good idea to limit your physical activity to reduce strain on your heart.
Seek medical attention right away if you develop chest pain, tightness, pressure, or chest pain that spreads to your jaw, neck, or arm.
Other signs of serious problems are unusual sweating, trouble breathing, or a fast or irregular heartbeat.
If you have severe liver disease or certain heart conditions you should not use this medication either.
People with a slow heart rate who don't have pacemakers should inform their doctor before starting this medication.
Be sure to tell your doctor whether you have asthma or other breathing problems, liver disease, or a slow/irregular heartbeat.
You also need to mention any current or past blood flow problems in your feet or legs; diabetes and other conditions that might result in low blood sugar; low blood pressure; or hyperthyroidism, which results in too much thyroid hormone in your body.
Also on the must-disclose list: Chest pain that occurs for no obvious reason when you are resting (Prinzmetal's angina) and the condition pheochromocytoma, where a tumor appears on a gland near the kidneys, perhaps leading to a fast heartbeat or high blood pressure.
Before having surgery, including dental surgery, let your doctor know that you're using carvedilol.
If you experience any of these problems, call your doctor right away.
Other conditions that require you to reach out to your physician include:
Seek emergency medical care immediately if you think you are having an allergic reaction.
Signs may range from swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat to hives and difficulty breathing.
Before using carvedilol, you should give your physician a complete list of all your prescription, non-prescription drugs, recreational drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Carvedilol may interact with some of these products impacting the drug's effectiveness and/or producing serious side effects.
Some of the medications that may interact with carvedilol include:
Insulin and oral diabetes medications are also known to interact with carvedilol as are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar).
Tell your doctor if you are undergoing allergy skin testing or allergy treatments as well as whether you are on any of the following medications:
In addition, make your doctor aware of any HIV/AIDS medicines you're taking such as delavirdine (Rescriptor) or ritonavir (Norvir or Kaletra), or any medications that help psychiatric disorders such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Permitil or Prolixin), haloperidol (Haldol), perphenazine (Trilafon), and/or thioridazine (Mellaril).
Carvedilol may impair your thinking or reaction time so it's a good idea to refrain from driving or other activities that require concentration until you know how this medication will affect you.
Avoid drinking alcohol as it could also boost your blood pressure further, increasing certain side effects of the medicine.
Never stand up quickly when you are lying down or sitting since you may feel dizzy while taking carvedilol. Stand up slowly and carefully.
Carvedilol comes in tablets ranging from of 3.125 milligrams (mg) to 25 mg.
It's also available as an extended-release capsule. It's up to your doctor to determine which strength is right for you. You will probably begin with a low dose.
Most people take the tablets twice a day with food; extended-release capsules are usually taken once a day in the morning with food.
Don't chew or crush the capsules or divide up the beads into more than one dose.
If you can't swallow capsules, open the capsule and sprinkle the beads over a spoonful of cool or room temperature applesauce and swallow the entire thing without chewing.
If you think you have taken too much get to the emergency room right away or call a poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Signs of an overdose include:
If you forget to take your medication, take the missed dose as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next dose.
If that is the case, skip the missed dose and continue your regular regimen. Never take extra to make up for what you forgot.
A: Carvedilol is used to control heart rate and blood pressure, so it is possible to experience fatigue or low blood pressure with this medication. Weight gain was a side effect seen in clinical studies but the amount of weight gain was comparable to the patients who were not given carvedilol. If you are experiencing side effects that affect your daily activities or a sudden weight gain, you should consult with your physician to rule out any other causes.
A: According to the drug manufacturer, tinnitus (ringing in the ear) has a very low incidence. They report the side effect occurring in patients between 0.1 - 1% of the time. Those percentages translate to ringing in the ears happening between 1 out of every 100 patients to 1 out of every 1000 patients. If you believe your tinnitus is related to your medication, consult your prescriber. They may consider changing your therapy; temporarily stopping it to see if your symptoms resolve; or working on finding an alternative cause. Jeff O'Connell, PharmD, RPh
A: The prescribing information for carvedilol indicates that it can cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in 5-12% of patients. Increased blood sugar monitoring is generally recommended. Contact your health care provider to review your blood sugar readings and make any necessary adjustments to your medications. Do not stop or change the amount of medications without talking to your health care provider first. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. You may also find helpful information at //www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/carvedilol Sarah Lewis, PharmD
A: Coreg (carvedilol) (//www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/coreg) is an alpha and beta blocker that relaxes blood vessels and slows down the heart. Coreg is used for high blood pressure and heart failure. (//www.everydayhealth.com/high-blood-pressure/guide/). For more information about an alternative for Coreg (carvedilol), consult wtih your doctor. It is important when your doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all your prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals and herbals, as well as foods you eat. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements you take and review it with your health care providers and your pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all your prescriptions and over-the-counter products. This allows your pharmacist to keep a complete record of all your prescription drugs and advise you about drug interactions and side effects. For more specific information or if you have concerns about the Prozac not working effectively, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.

9.) If you had front-row tickets to the Muppet concert of your dreams, which Muppet or group of Muppets would you hope were playing? Could Marvin Suggs get away with holding a Muppaphone concert now that PETA has gained prominence?
- The Electric Mayhem! Including Lips. Marvin Suggs could get away with a Muppaphone concert...but he'd have to round all the PETA members in the audience up and blind fold them discreetly before his number. ~ Anonymous
- Electric Mayhem! And if Stefani Germanotta can get away with wearing stuffed Kermits, I don't see why Marvin Suggs can't be permitted to have a Muppaphone concert. ~ Prairie Chica
- Hmm, I don't know if Marvin could get away with that, PETA might not approve of what they would consider "violence". For me, my Muppet dream concert I think would be the Fraggles in concert. The music in Fraggle rock is so inspiring, and the five of them have such beautiful harmony together. I like rock and roll just fine, but if I was going to see a live concert, I'd appreciate something more acoustic and laid back feeling, so the Fraggles would be ideal! ~ Beth Kondrick
- I would love to see Scred duet with Lily Tomlin again. That is one Muppet we never saw enough of. Scred needs to make a comeback! A reunion duet could be a YouTube hit. ~ Sarah Bastin
- It would have to be a full variety show of all of them (Like MuppetFest only longer!). Sure he could. PETA doesn't care about hurting vegetables, children or fat people (re. their current billboard controversy). As long as he's not hitting a dolphin he's fine. ~ Heather Powers
- Small, cozy, wooden-floored room, with comfy sofa-seats, sipping ginger-ale and cream, watching a solitary act play hit after hit on the tinkling ivories...of an out of tune piano...I would want to see Ol' Brown Ears: In Concert. Rowlf would play his songs, tell pithy jokes and witty stories of life, love, and Lassie. ~ Beauregard
10.) If a judge ruled that Grover had to be your personal assistant for a month, what jobs would you have him do?
- I would have Grover give me autographs from EVERYONE on Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, etc. I would also have him get me a copy of every Muppet movie/special/show ever filmed. Then I would just want him to stay at my house and chill with me. That'd be cool. I wouldn't make him do anything crazy. ~ Nick Tredo
- I would ask Grover to be my moving and grooving monster, and teach me to lose weight while watching clips and singing "Wubba wubba". Then I would ask him to teach me all about the monster in my mirror. ~ Jarrod Fairclough
- I'd need help with organization and motivation. I'd like him to arrange my home or office to maximize efficiency and then I'd need pep talks to do stuff when I'm feeling bad. He's very good at that kind of thing. ~ Kelly Masters
- Wash my car, mow the lawn, sing a song, carve a pumpkin, do the dishes, edit the show, polish the drapes, and live-blog from a Bavarian scream-singing competition. Also invent Bavarian scream-singing. ~ Steve Swanson (host of The MuppetCast)
- Something even HE can't mess up. ~ Oscarfan
- I think I would have him carry things Up and Down for awhile. Then perhaps there would be some things that could be carried Near and Far. ~ Steve Wolterstorff
11.) If you have cares, do you dance them away, saving your worries for another day? Or do you simply work said cares away, saving dancing for another day?
- I tend to work my work away until all that's left for me to care about is dancing. ~ MrsPepper
- Neither, I just let the Music play! ~ Chris O'Connor
- I say get everything done in one day… more dancing for tomorrow. ~ John Papovitch
- I alternate. ~ Sarah Labadini
- I don't dance, or work. Now I don't know what to do! ~ Oscarfan
- That depends on if I've had my daily recommended intake of Doozer sticks. ~ Jarrod Fairclough
- Honestly? I do neither. I tend to follow Wembley's style and wemble my worries away, leaving decisions till another day. I also follow a "Right where you belong" method of belief where I am sure that I am always in the right place at the right time and that whatever happens, happens. Similar to Cantus's message for Mokey when she's worried about not hearing her "Ping"...'But what happens if I don't hear anything?' 'Nothing.' I've taken those words to heart many times, when fearing for my life's decisions... A little Cantus appears on my shoulder, "Nothing."...And I breathe out, and get on with it. ~ Beauregard
- I'm on Prairie Dawn's side! She would win NO DOUBT! Scooter doesn't stand a chance! ~ Nick Tredo
- That's hard. Prairie Dawn probably has less contacts and experience, but she didn't come across as a suck-up like Scooter did in the first season especially. Then there's that whole child labor law thing. I'd probably intern Prairie but hire Scooter as a full-time employee. ~ Kelly Masters
- Scooter. He wouldn't be as effective as Prairie Dawn, but he's less of a bossy know-it-all. Also I learned that Scooter at least offers an HSA. ~ Steve Swanson
- Prairie Dawn, no contest. The Muppet Show, while lovable, is more than a bit chaotic and not even Scooter can rein it in. Prairie's pageants are controlled much better. ~ Prairie Chica (methinks she's biased in this answer!)
- Scooter. It's a height bias decision but there you go. ~ Steve Wolterstorff
- I'm afraid that Prairie Dawn would win hands down. Scooter fell into a go-fering position because he was desperate to work with the Muppets, and this was the position they needed. Prairie was BORN for organization and from the very dawn of her existence she has thrived on pageants and plays – even as a little girl. When Scooter was a little boy all he did was played on his geeky computer (Muppet Baby Lore Applied). ~ Beauregard
- I would teach "Friend Triangle: Zoe, Elmo, and Rocco." ~ Anonymous
- I would teach "Ernie and Bert: The First Bromance", and I would teach how the two really started what would become a huge success in later years, and how each famous bromance (such as Clooney and Pitt, Affleck and Damon etc) are influenced by Ernie and Bert. ~ Jarrod Fairclough
- The implications of "Mahna Mahna" on the dancing and singing styles of a 3, 13, 23, and 53 year old. ~ Noelle H.
- "The Muppet Movie: Buddy-Road Trip Comedy or Deconstruction of the American Dream?"
"Adv. Fraggle Music: Style, Character and Story" ~ Sarah Labadini
- The Ecology of Fraggle Rock – the show was written to bring peace and harmony to the world and also was quite earth conscious at the time and we could learn a lot from it. So that would be my choice even though I'm not a scientist. ~ Beth Kondrick
- I actually have and the title was How Muppets Shaped Music. ~ Heather Powers
- It would be a class for those suffering with eating disorders: "Your Dinner and You: How To Make Friends With Your (All Singing, All Dancing) Food." ~ Beauregard
14.) What is your favorite show starring a singing pig?
- Charlotte's We...I mean, The Muppet Show. ~ Anonymous
- "starring" is a subjective term. ~ Heather Powers
- Don't tell Piggy, but I always liked The Boogie Woogie Piggies... ~ Jarrod Fairclough
- Geez, did she write these questions? ~ Kelly Masters
- The Tony Clifton Show! No seriously, it would have to be The Porky Pig Hour. I love when he sings his big hit "I Loved You the Minute I Sow You". ~ Steve Swanson
- Hmm, I can't think of any shows starring a singing pig. My mind's gone blank. Maybe I need to sing that old remembering song... ~ Sarah Bastin
- Oh, "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast" of course! ~ Oscarfan
- …Hannah Montana? Just kidding (about the favorite part, yuck!). ~ Sarah Labadini
- Uncle Elmer's Porcine Parade. In color! ~ Steve Wolterstorff
- The Drew Carey Show (my apologies for the fat joke…) ~ John Papovitch
- Do you mean something Piggy has done? I believe the answer is "everything" unless you want to get karate-chopped! ~ MrsPepper
- Did Annie-Sue sing? ~ David
- Are we excluding the Sow of Music? (Boo! BOO! Get off the stage, you bum!) ~ Beauregard
15.) Do you think the legislation allowing chickens to dance onstage should be passed?
- DEFINITELY. Chickens deserve all the rights they can get, and their dancing abilities should be displayed onstage for the world to see. ~ Nick Tredo
- Of course. Equal rights baby. ~ Noelle H.
- I was under the assumption that it was already legal, as they do it quite often and haven't been arrested yet. ~ Kelly Masters
- Not in its current form. I think if they put the "poultry option" back in then we're in good shape. ~ Steve Swanson
- Absolutely. Chickens have been relegated to the corners of society for far too long. It's bad enough people only think of them in regards to their tender, delicious meat or that they run around after their heads are cut off, but to limit their artistic expression is a cruel and unjust torture. It is not their fault they are not mammals, that they live in coops and peck at the ground for food. They have true beauty inside them, just waiting to be let out and it is undemocratic to let them lay eggs in the wings waiting to come out. Nobody puts Chickie in the corner. ~ Sarah Labadini
- Of course! They have a lot of potential in the theater business! I hear that they also can rollerskate while singing The Sound of Music, too. ~ Caitlyn
- Speaking on behalf of the Council for the Legislatorly Insane, I suggest No to the first, No to the second, and let's all get hammered and have a knees-up. ~ Beauregard
16.) Argue your side of this issue: "The government should require all children to watch Sesame Street until age 7."
- I believe all children up until 7 should be required to have a class at school called "Sesame Street" in which they watch the show, then discuss everything that happens, including why someone like Natalie Portman would be working in Hooper's, or how hot Heidi Klum looked while she was talking about compliments. ~ Jarrod Fairclough
- The government definitely should require children to watch Sesame Street. How else would YOU have learned what to do with a cookie, and to monstrously eat plates of them all at once?? ~ Steve Swanson
- I would actually argue that the government should require all people, regardless of age, to watch at least 20 hours of Sesame Street a year. Make the kids watch all of it, but edit together episodes for adults that takes out the counting to ten and alphabet games and just involves the social issues the show deals with. Because adults, just as much as children (and maybe even more so) need to remember to respect other people, their environment and all creatures on Earth. If we paired this with required Fraggle Rock viewings, the world would be a better, happier and more peaceful place. ~ Sarah Labadini
- I agree and they should watch it past age 7 too! It's cute when you're young, but actually funny when you're older! ~ MrsPepper
- "The government should require all children to watch Sesame Street until age 7...which, following the Bronze Age and the Stone Age, is apparently the hippest age to be." (The Ice Age was the Coolest.) ~ Beauregard

- "Rubber Duckie" ~ Prairie Chica
- Bubbles come out of my head! ~ Sarah Labadini

- B-Words! ~ Almost everyone else

- intro drug ~ Heather Powers
- Sell Out ~ David
- I see an evil, show-stealing monster. And then I see myself saying this out loud, and I realize that I am a cooperate, unfeeling monster myself and that Elmo is just a child, with a lot of love, and a lot of hugs, and a lot of tickles. He's not evil at all. It's just an attitude that has built up on me for years, and I struggle daily to be rid of it. ~ Beauregard
Rizzo's Back
- Rat! Oh, Rizzo...phew. Nice jacket. ~ Anonymous
- The back of the jacket that I would kill to have! ~ Nick Tredo

- A t-shirt I MUST have! ~ Jarrod Fairclough

- Do wop do wop hop. Don't stop. ~ Beth Kondrick
- Yuck. Modern culture mixed with the Muppe---OH! That's funny! Hip...because Dr Teeth is hip, and Hop because the frog...Right...I get it now. (Maybe they could do another with Hip represented by Waldorf's left leg replacement, and Animal's Bunny?) ~ Beauregard

- Red ~ Steve Swanson
- Fraggle 300! ~ John Papovitch
- No it wasnt, It was this big!! ~ Chris O'Connor
- Fraggle movie! Fraggle movie! Fraggle--...Is this a picture from the Fraggle Movie? Please be a picture from the Fraggle Movie. I want a Fraggle Movie. GIVE ME A FRAGGLE MOVIE!!! ~ Beauregard
- Honestly, I have no cute answers for the pictures. I see Elmo, Rizzo, Dr. Teeth and Kermit and Red. It is 1:40am, and I have no more wittiness left in me… ~ Sarah Labadini
Thanks to everyone for reading! See you all tomorrow!

Bedrest study phase one comes to an end: meet the scientists and volunteers
ESA PR 74-2001. In August this year ESA, CNES and NASDA started the first period of a study to validate countermeasures to cope with the demands of long-duration missions aboard the International Space Station when 14 male volunteers were confined to bed for 90 days, lying in a strict -6° head-down tilt position, the best for simulating certain effects of the weightless environment of space.
Long stays in weightlessness affect the human body, as evidenced by changes to bone and muscle in particular. During the "bedrest" study conducted at the MEDES space clinic in Toulouse (France), scientists have been able to collect a wealth of data and will continue to do so with a second group of subjects currently being selected, while the first group resume their ordinary lives before Christmas. The participants will be followed up in specific check-ups on bone and muscle status at set intervals over one year.
The scientists and volunteers will be sharing their experience with media representatives at a press conference to be held on Monday 17 December from 11:00 to 12:30 at Toulouse Rangueil Hospital, Avenue Joean Poulhès, Salle Claude Louis (tbc by CNES).

I am haiving a problem that is consistent in BW 6. When I am using the Reults window to read several verses at a time, invariably I will have times when the wording gets messed up, showing only the tops of the letters for one or more lines of text. If I then go to the menu bar for the result window and explicitly choose a different verse and then choose the verse I was origianlly at, the verse is painted properly on the screen. I don't know exaclty what's wrong, or if Windows XP somehow messes with the Windows painting APIs for the current display, but there's a problem. I don't know if this is XP-specific. ANy suggestions?

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) – Champaign area authorities say they issued more than 270 tickets during last week's Unofficial St. Patrick's Day Celebration.
The Champaign News-Gazette reports the 271 orders to appear in court were issued during the festivities, most of them for underage drinking or public possession of alcohol. Nearly 30 people were taken to the hospital in ambulances and 15 people were taken to the county jail during the annual event that drew thousands of students for a day of drinking.
This year, the city limited bar hours during Friday's celebration as well as how much alcohol could be sold near campus. They also limited the entry age for people to get into bars, which they have done in previous years.

French Bulldogs are one of the more popular dog breeds in the United States. Despite their name, they come from England, not France, and have been bred to be companion animals for several hundred years. Frenchies have the characteristic short muzzles of bulldogs, but are smaller than their traditional Bulldog counterparts. They are very playful and affectionate in nature, and love to be near their people. French Bulldogs, which tend to be no larger than 28 lbs. in adulthood, are adaptable to both small and large spaces, and are devoted pets to individuals and families. Read More

News from the world of Maths
Word on the particle physics street (a very small street) is that tomorrow's announcement from CERN will be very exciting indeed. Find out what all the excitement is about: what the Higgs boson is, what it does and how to hunt for it.
The Plus team's vehicle of choice is the bicycle, so we're particularly pleased about an announcement that hit the news this month: a clever car mirror that eliminates the dreaded blind spot has been given a patent in the US. The mirror was designed by the mathematician Andrew Hicks, of Drexel University, after years of puzzling over the problem.
On Saturday Alan Turing would have celebrated his 100th birthday. In his short life he revolutionised the scientific world and so 2012 has been declared Turing Year to celebrate his life and scientific achievements. Join the celebrations with these events or by browsing through Plus articles.
On a rainy night last month, in an ancient hall down a hidden alleyway in the centre of London, Bernard Silverman, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Home Office, revealed a surprising secret... ancient mathematics is at the heart of a very modern game of hide and seek.
Our planet is shaped by the oceans, the dynamic geology and the changing climate. It teems with life and we, in particular, have a massive impact as we build homes, grow food, travel and feed our ever-hungry need for energy. Mathematics is vital in understanding all of these, which is why 2013 has been declared as the year for the Mathematics of Planet Earth.
If you've never heard of cubic Hamiltonian graphs before then take a look at Christopher Manning's wonderful cubic Hamiltonian graph builder. No, really, do! We too had never heard of them and now we think they are the bee's knees!
This month 70 teenage girls from nineteen countries including Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia and Finland came to the University of Cambridge to participate in the inaugural European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO).

Kandy Paint Records Remembers "Yungstar" Da Throwed Yung Playa Of S.U.C.
Yungstar grew up on the west side of Houston and began rapping at age ten. In the early '90s, he began working with DenDen, CEO of Straight Profit Records. He first gained attention freestyling over tapes made by DJ Screw and emerged nationally with a guest appearance on Lil' Troy's "Wanna Be a Baller." Straight Profit released his debut album, Throwed Yung Playa, and it sold 40,000 copies before being picked up and re-released in a revised form by Epic Records in 2000, though he was back to Straight Profit for Ballin' Underground, which came out in 2002.

As the technological and cultural landscapes change in the coming years, getting paid to complete online surveys may be one of the easiest and most rewarding opportunities presented to you, a consumer, in the digital age. If you want to get cash for taking surveys that will help your favourite brands meet your needs better, register at OpinionWorld and get started right away - there is nothing to lose.
Information is the resource that fuels corporate success and drives companies to embrace cutting-edge strategies and carry out innovative projects in an effort to attract and retain more clients. You, as a consumer, have the unique ability to project your voice in a way so it resonates throughout the business world. The easiest way to do this is to provide your favourite brands with insightful data.
However, simply walking up to an organisation and handing over a manila folder with all of your personal information in it can be a scary - and unsafe - way to share your desires with companies. Instead, you should take surveys online that will keep your sensitive data anonymous and pay you on the side.
Get money for online surveys
What's the easiest way to make money in today's highly digital and fast-paced world? Getting money to fill out non-personal surveys online. OpinionWorld understands the concerns associated with providing companies with highly sensitive information, despite the opportunistic benefits associated with doing so, such as enabling those firms to use that data to improve marketing and sales endeavors.
If you want to make money online, register with OpinionWorld and fill out simple surveys that keep personal information safe and provide your favourite brands with the data they need to optimise outward-facing processes. At OpinionWorld, each survey you complete is translated into points, which can be converted into cash via PayPal or redeemed for gift certificates at major companies like Amazon and iTunes.
Have brands target your needs
When your favourite brands do not customise product development or marketing strategies to appeal to your needs, it's not great. First, you feel neglected and left out, causing you to turn to other companies or simply not purchase anything at all. Second, the organisations miss out on generating revenue from you, a potential loyal customer. This can change when you take online surveys at OpinionWorld.
The surveys at OpinionWorld are made up of easy questions about your employment history or pet preferences. This non-confidential information can be extremely helpful to your favourite companies, which can use this data to create more targeted ads or personalised products that cater to your specific expectations and demands as a consumer. As a whole, both you and your preferred businesses will be able to benefit when you fill out surveys for money.

Seven Speakers, Exhibits, and Community: Manifold Greatness at Centre
As part of the Manifold Greatness exhibit, the staff at The Grace Doherty Library and the Religion Program at Centre College designed a program which included seven speakers, hoping to appeal to a broad range of college and community patrons. Our program began in February and ran through April 30, involving nationally known scholars, Centre College faculty, and local genealogists.
Dr. Margaret Mitchell, Shailer Mathews Professor and Dean of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, visited our campus on February 25 to deliver "Bible and Media Revolutions: A Select History." Dr. Mitchell spoke to a crowd of approximately 375 students, faculty, staff, and community members.
Dr. Bart Ehrman, James A. Gray Professor, University of North Carolina, Chapel, spoke to more than 700 students, faculty, and community patrons on April 17, to deliver the paper, "Misquoting Jesus: Scribes Who Changed the Scriptures and Readers Who May Never Know." Dr. Ehrman's address prompted a furious letter in the local newspaper from an irate reader who, although he admitted he had not attended the lecture nor had he read any of Dr. Ehrman's books, was convinced that Dr. Ehrman was an agent of the devil.
Earlier in the term, on March 27, Dr. Phillip White, Associate Professor of English, Centre College, led a more intimate conversation with a group of 30 students, faculty, and community members in the library's reading room with his presentation, "A Miracle of Style: Some Ways the King James Bible Affected Later Writers and Writing." Dr. White discussed Lincoln's use of the King James Bible phrasing in both the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural. He also discussed Hebrew idioms from the KJB that have been assimilated as English idioms, such as:
To fall flat on one's face
To pour out one's heart
The land of the living
The skin of one's teeth
Like a lamb to the slaughter
A drop in the bucket
To give up the ghost
On April 18, Dr. Amos Tubb, Gordon B. Davidson Associate Professor of History, Centre College, led a similar discussion group in the library's reading room in his presentation, "The History of Publishing in England and the King James Translation," walking the group through the complex and sometimes baffling history of the publication of the KJB.
Dr. Eugene March, Arnold B. Rhodes Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, also led a discussion group through "The 'Birthing' of the King James Version of the Bible: Two Hundred Years of Labor Pains," describing the initial resistance to the new translation and the many printing errors that plagued the early editions.
Finally, on April 30, Reverend Mark Davis, Pastor-Theologian, First Presbyterian Church of Lexington, Kentucky, spoke to group of 175 students and community members with his presentation, "Authenticity and Authority: The King is Dead, Long Live the King."
Also, Boyle County Public Library developed an exhibit of family Bibles to accompany Carolyn Crabtree, genealogist and researcher, and her program, "Family Bibles as Sources for Legal Documents and Historical Research," on April 25.
Clearly, the integration of the exhibit Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible with our English, History, and Religion programs was of great benefit. In addition, the collaboration with the Boyle County Public Library further strengthened the bond between Centre College and the community at large. Overall, the exhibit and the accompanying program were of real significance.
Stan Campbell is Director of Library Services at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.

New Degree Emphasis Focuses on Mental Health in Schools
The Penn State College of Education features six Counselor Education master's degree options for students who wish to pursue careers in various professions as career counselors, school counselors, and rehabilitation counselors. The Clinical Mental Health Counseling in Schools and Communities emphasis is the latest to be added to the Counselor Education's master's program. The development of this emphasis is especially important given the emerging national dialogue on school mental health.
This master's degree program focuses on promoting optimal human development, wellness, and mental health through outreach, prevention, and early intervention strategies in schools and community settings.
Elizabeth Mellin, program coordinator and associate professor of education, said, "I'm particularly proud of this emphasis given its unique focus on children and adolescents and the relationship between learning and mental health."
Mellin added that the program is truly a one-of-a-kind graduate training opportunity.
"With the recent national conversation on school mental health, I expect it to be a model for other programs who are looking to promote mental health and support learning in schools," said Mellin. "This program has developed unique training opportunities with the State College Area School District and is helping us sustain the work of our federally funded school and mental health services grant."
Currently, many local and state governments as well as the federal government are proposing policies pertaining to mental health in schools. In addition, the federal government is proposing significant funding for training master's level mental health counselors for work in schools.
Counselor trainees in this program are prepared for implementing a wide range of culturally responsive, early intervention, and intervention services to maximize the potential of children, adolescents, adults, and families. They also are trained to provide crisis intervention services to schools, families, and communities and promote social change through the development of cross-system collaborations that contribute to school and community improvement initiatives. Counselor trainees are also prepared to pursue national certification and/or licensure as a professional counselor.
An added feature of the program is the College of Education's CEDAR Clinic where counselor trainees are provided the opportunity to incorporate counseling theory, skills, and techniques into real-world learning experiences. In the CEDAR Clinic, counselors are exposed to role-playing and genuine counseling situations through practicums.
Penn State's College of Education looks to lead the way in preparing graduates to support children in this very important area of mental health.

Dillon Salvages 12th-Place Finish at "The Rock"
Ty Dillon and the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet team finished 12th in Sunday's North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Rockingham Speedway. Dillon started the scheduled 200-lap affair from 14th and began making his way to the front of the field. After a long green flag run, Dillon was scored in the fifth position when a caution flag was displayed on lap 63. Crew chief Marcus Richmond called the Welcome, N.C., native to pit road for four tires and fuel. A quick stop by the Bass Pro Shops pit crew earned Dillon the fourth spot on the ensuing restart. The Richard Childress Racing team continued to fire off quick pit stops throughout the afternoon, helping Dillon improve to the second position on lap 102. After the first half of the event, the black and orange Chevrolet developed a tight-handling condition in the center of the corners. Dillon continued to battle the handling issue in the closing stages of the race, but maintained a position within the top-10. A late-race caution set the field for a green-white-checkered finish and on the restart, the 21-year-old was shuffled back in the running order. With only one lap remaining in the race, Dillon was unable to improve his spot on the track and crossed the finish line in the 12th position.
Start - 14 Finish - 12 Laps Led - 0 Points - 6th
"I think we had one of the fastest trucks here this weekend, but our finish definitely didn't show it. The guys worked hard to keep the balance right on the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet all day. We had a solid finish in our sights, but on that last restart we got shuffled too far back to make it back into the top-five."
Brendan Gaughan Scores Third-Place Finish at "The Rock"
Brendan Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet crossed the finish line third in the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Rockingham Speedway Sunday afternoon, earning his first top-five finish of the season. The Las Vegas native started the scheduled 200-lap event from the ninth position and quickly moved into third by lap 10. Happy with the overall handling of the truck, Gaughan maintained a position within the top five for the remainder of the race moving as high as second in the running order, before crossing the finish line third. The top-five finish allowed Gaughan to gain five spots in the driver championship point standings, he now holds the 12th position.
Start - 9Finish - 3Laps Led - 0Points - 12th
"We had such a strong Chevrolet from the start of the race and drove to the front right away, we didn't' want to fool around out there. We had strong pit stops all day, but my pit crew is mad at themselves right now because they think they had terrible stops. We never lost a spot on pit road; we even gained a few positions throughout the race. You've got to love having a crew that is this passionate and competitive with what they do. It's just fun to have Shane Wilson (crew chief) back on the box and run like we did today."

John Wooten: NFL's crackdown on racially-charged taunting a 'tremendous victory'
ORLANDO – John Wooten called Wednesday's emphatic crackdown on eliminating abusive and racially-charged taunting "a tremendous victory for the league."
"It is going to change the culture," Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance that monitors the league's diversity policies, told USA TODAY Sports. "I applaud Jeff Fisher, Rich McKay, Ozzie Newsome and the rest of the competition committee for stepping up. The young guys coming into the league are going to know they can't call each other the N-word. It's another form of bullying.
Owners approved the competition committee's call for an over-arching enforcement of existing unsportsmanlike penalty rules to combat a vile trend that has risen on the field and came to light in the Miami Dolphins locker room during last season's Jonathan Martin bullying scandal.
Wooten said the incident that spurred his Fritz Pollard Alliance to write a letter to the competition committee to clean up the game stems from a November Philadelphia Eagles-Washington Redskins game when Redskins left tackle Trent Williams was accused of a racial epithet directed at umpire Roy Ellison, who is also African-American. Williams denied the charge.
Wooten said because Ellison reacted by yelling an expletive at Williams instead of throwing a flag for an unsportsmanlike penalty, the umpire was suspended for one game.
"If you talk to officials or (vice president of officials) Dean Blandino, the disrespect runs rampant out there," Wooten said. "It's horrible. Taunting calls have escalated."
Not anymore.
"We're going to clean the game up on the field between the players – the in-your-face taunting, those type of things, the language," committee member and St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "We're going to raise the standard…We are going to affect change immediately as early as the OTAs when players come back.
"We've got to change our conduct on the field. We've got to bring the element of respect to the highest level back to our game."
It will take more than 15-yard penalties to turn the tide of nine taunting calls in 2012 to 34 calls last season.
Change isn't easy. But it starts not with officials, but with coaches and locker-room leaders changing behavior the way Wooten did as the former Philadelphia Eagles pro personnel director with a young linebacker named Ray Farmer. The new general manager of the Cleveland Browns is grateful Wooten schooled him early on.
"I was lucky that John was big on making sure guys understood the meaning of that word -- that it wasn't rooted in endearment or feel good," Farmer told USA TODAY Sports. "He would pull you aside in practice and I learned early on from him why not to use it."
Now Farmer and his peers will follow Wooten's lead in raising consciousness for a younger generation.
"The general managers and the coaches are going to tell their players during OTAs in May, 'This behavior is out. We don't want this kind of penalty called against us,'" said Wooten, a former Browns guard from 1959-1967. "There's nothing we can do about the music industry and so forth.
"But by eliminating this culture of disrespect among our younger players, what you'll see in the NFL, the colleges, high schools and the Pop Warner level that this is a great victory for us."
