Oil spill firm to pay $400 million to fix Gulf coast

The Deepwater Horizon spill has just provided a $400-million windfall for Louisiana's environment. Transocean, which worked with BP on the stricken Macondo well, pleaded guilty last week to a violation of the US Clean Water Act, and admitted that it was negligent in the 2010 spill. The resulting multimillion-dollar fine will be used to pay for a host of environmental projects around the Gulf of Mexico.

It is the second largest fine for environmental damage in history, after the $4.5-billion fine BP had to pay out for the same spill. Transocean has two years to pay up in full.

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) will get $150 million, and another $150 million will go to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), a non-profit based in Washington DC. The NAS will use its portion to research oil-spill prevention and better ways to respond to spills. The NFWF's Timothy DiCintio says it will distribute its award between the affected Gulf Coast states, for ongoing remediation efforts such as marsh and wetland clean-up.

The remainder of the money will go directly to Louisiana's $50-billion Coastal Master Plan, which aims to restore the state's degraded coastline. The money will fund a host of projects, including restoring barrier island reefs and creating diversions on the Mississippi to repair eroded coasts.

"The way Louisiana looks at it, their coastal problems are so pervasive that the degradation from the spill was a final indignity," says DiCintio. The modifications should not only allow the state to rebuild after the lingering effects of the spill and hurricane Katrina, but also help the coast cope with future disasters.

Why China Supports North Korea - Business Insider

China's "big brother" relationship with North Korea saw an extreme test last week, as North Korean leadership apparently flouted Chinese requests and tested a third nuclear device.

If reports in Japanese and Taiwanese press are believed, North Korea went ahead with the test despite direct protests from the Chinese government (China apparently refused to accept a "certain condition" in secret talks).

Another report from Reuters says that Pyongyang has told Beijing it will be holding another one or two nuclear tests this year, further ignoring Chinese requests.

Both the official response from China and public sentiment within the country seem enraged by what many see as the ungrateful behavior of the smaller, poorer nation.

All of this begs the question ? why do the two countries have a special relationship in the first place? And if it's souring, why bother keeping it up?

The relationship dates back at least half a century, with China entering the Korean war on the side of the North. The two countries were united by a shared ideology and Cold War bipolarity that pitted both against the West.

Nowadays ideology and anti-Western sentiment appears to have taken a back seat to more practical concerns. For North Korea, the modern benefits of the relationship are obvious. In 2006 the Council on Foreign Relations estimated that the country got 70 percent of its food and 70 to 80 percent of its fuel from China, and that an estimated 300,000 North Koreans lived in China, many of them migrant workers who sent money back home.

For China, things are a little more complicated. If North Korea's government collapsed or the country descended into conflict, it would likely create a refugee crisis, and most of those refugee could well cross the border into China, stretching resources in a country that has many of its own problems.

There's also the incredible economic opportunity on offer in North Korea. Last week NK News reported that the two countries' trade had reached an all time high, and included a chart that showed how the trade had exploded in recent years.

Much of that growth is based around North Korea's largely untapped natural resources. One report from last year suggested that the country could be sitting on $6 trillion worth of rare minerals. It's likely no coincidence that much of this is thought to be rare earth minerals. China is the world leader in the rare earth market, with expertise and resources far beyond most other countries. However, it may not last forever ? last year the Chinese government put out a white paper that suggested it's supplies were running out.

It's for these reasons few experts expect the latest infractions from North Korea to effect the relationship too much. China has too much to gain from an isolated-but-stable North Korea to punish its little brother.

HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) ? Mindy McCready threatened suicide after losing custody of her sons earlier this month, yet she was allowed to leave a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program just days before she apparently killed herself at her Arkansas home, her ex-boyfriend said Monday.

Billy McKnight, who was in a long, stormy relationship with McCready and is the father of her oldest child, Zander, said the 37-year-old mother of two stayed in the substance abuse treatment center for about 18 hours before she was allowed to walk free.

McCready died Sunday at her home in Heber Springs, a vacation community about 65 miles north of Little Rock. She was found dead on the front porch, where her longtime boyfriend, musician David Wilson, died last month of a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities are investigating both deaths as suicides but haven't determined an official cause of death.

McKnight told The Associated Press during a phone interview from Tampa, Fla., that McCready and Wilson, the father of her youngest son, were recently engaged. He wondered how she was allowed to go free, given all the turmoil in her life.

"That was a big mistake on the part of whoever released her," McKnight said. "She was in a terrible state of mind. She doesn't perform any more. She wasn't working. She has two kids and her fiance was just killed. There's no way she should be out by herself in a lonely house with nothing but booze and pills. That was a really, really bad mistake, and the end result is tragic."

Arkansas courts were closed for the holiday Monday, so local case documents weren't immediately available.

Neighbors reported hearing two shots Sunday afternoon when they called the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office. Authorities found Wilson's dog dead next to McCready's body at the home, where yellow crime-scene tape looped through a grove of pine trees and around the one-story brick house Monday afternoon.

"Based on what we have found at the scene at this time, we do believe that she took the life of the dog that we are being told by family members belonged to Mr. Wilson before she took her own life," Sheriff Marty Moss said.

The sheriff said McCready's two sons were safe. McKnight said the boys remained in foster care, where they were at the time of their mother's death. McKnight said he was trying to get custody of his son, Zander, but that he was not privy to what was happening with her other son, Zayne, who was born last year.

McCready's sons were put in foster care and she was ordered into rehab earlier this month after McCready's father expressed concern. He told a judge his daughter had stopped taking care of her children and herself after Wilson's death, and that she was abusing alcohol and prescription drugs.

Moss said McCready's cause of death would be released soon, but that "all indicators" point to suicide. Her body has been sent to the state crime lab for autopsy.

For all the highs McCready had early in her career, thanks to the spunky anti-chauvinist hit "Guys Do It All The time," and her first album, "Ten Thousand Angels," which has sold more than 2 million copies, there were many more lows. She previously attempted suicide at least three times, and her fragile state of mindwas always a concern to family and friends. She acknowledged in a 2010 interview that her life was turbulent at times, sometimes self-inflicted.

Over the years her relationships often made the biggest headlines. McKnight was charged with attempted murder after being arrested for beating and choking her. She claimed to be in a long relationship with baseball great Roger Clemens that started when she was 15 and he was 28 and married, but Clemens denied the relationship. She was once engaged to actor Dean Cain.

She also was arrested several times on drug charges, probation violations and a misdemeanor assault charge against her mother.

But there was a period in her life where McCready thought she might be able to escape that pattern. She reluctantly joined the "Celebrity Rehab 3" cast with Dr. Drew Pinsky, and left the show believing she might be able to change.

"She was doing great," Bob Forrest, a chemical dependency counselor who frequently works with Pinsky and appeared on the show, told the AP on Monday. "She would go through these periods of three to six months where she didn't want to drink, didn't have an interest in drinking. And if she didn't drink, she didn't do drugs."

Just months after her appearance on the show in early 2010, McCready told the AP about the release of a new album, "I'm Still Here," her new love in Wilson and plans to reunite with her son, who was in her mother's custody at the time. But the progress seemed to unravel by late 2011. Her album debuted at No. 71 on the country albums chart and failed to gain significant radio airplay, and plans for a book and reality show failed to materialize.

She also was unable to immediately regain custody of Zander. McCready then took the boy from her mother, his legal guardian, and fled to Arkansas over what she said were child abuse fears. She was later found hiding in a home without permission.

McCready is the fifth participant in Pinsky's "Celebrity Rehab" shows to pass away since appearing on the show, and the third from Season 3. Pinsky has been criticized for the deaths and for showing such personal struggles on television.

In a statement, Pinsky said he had recently reached out to the singer after hearing about Wilson's death.

"She was devastated," Pinsky wrote. "Although she was fearful of stigma and ridicule she agreed with me that she needed to make her health and safety a priority. Unfortunately it seems that Mindy did not sustain her treatment."

Kids' suspensions renew debate over zero tolerance

Waiting in line for the bus, a Pennsylvania kindergartener tells her pals she's going to shoot them with a Hello Kitty toy that makes soap bubbles. In Maryland, two 6-year-old boys pretend their fingers are guns during a playground game of cops and robbers. In Massachusetts, a 5-year-old boy attending an after-school program makes a gun out of Legos and points it at other students while "simulating the sound of gunfire," as one school official put it.

Kids with active imaginations? Or potential threats to school safety?

Some school officials are taking the latter view, suspending or threatening to suspend small children over behavior their parents consider perfectly normal and age-appropriate ? even now, with schools in a state of heightened sensitivity following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in December.

The extent to which the Newtown, Conn., shooting might influence educators' disciplinary decisions is unclear. But parents contend administrators are projecting adult fears onto children who know little about the massacre of 20 first-graders and six educators, and who certainly pose no threat to anyone.

"It's horrible what they're doing to these kids," said Kelly Guarna, whose 5-year-old daughter, Madison, was suspended by Mount Carmel Area School District in eastern Pennsylvania last month for making a "terroristic threat" with the bubble gun. "They're treating them as mini-adults, making them grow up too fast, and robbing them of their imaginations."

Mary Czajkowski, superintendent of Barnstable Public Schools in Hyannis, Mass., acknowledged that Sandy Hook has teachers and parents on edge. But she defended Hyannis West Elementary School's warning to a 5-year-old boy who chased his classmates with a gun he'd made from plastic building blocks, saying the student didn't listen to the teacher when she told him repeatedly to stop.

The school told his mother if it happened again, he'd face a two-week suspension.

"Given the heightened awareness and sensitivity, we must do all that we can to ensure that all students and adults both remain safe and feel safe in schools," Czajkowski said in a statement. "To dismiss or overlook an incident that results in any member of our school community feeling unsafe or threatened would be irresponsible and negligent."

The boy's mother, Sheila Cruz-Cardosa, said school officials are responding irrationally in the wake of Sandy Hook. She said they should be concentrating on "high school kids or kids who are more of a threat, not an innocent 5-year-old who's playing with Legos."

Though Newtown introduces a wrinkle to the debate, the slew of recent high-profile suspensions over perceived threats or weapons infractions has renewed old questions about the wisdom of "zero tolerance" policies.

Conceived as a way to improve school security and maintain consistent discipline and order, zero tolerance was enshrined by a 1994 federal law that required states to mandate a minimum one-year expulsion of any student caught with a firearm on school property. Over the years, many states and school districts expanded zero tolerance to include offenses as varied as fighting, skipping school or arguing with a teacher.

Some experts say there's little evidence that zero tolerance ? in which certain infractions compel automatic discipline, usually suspension or expulsion ? makes schools safer, and contend the policies leads to increased rates of dropouts and involvement with the juvenile justice system. Supporters respond that zero tolerance is a useful and necessary tool for removing disruptive kids from the classroom, and say any problems stem from its misapplication.

The original 1994 federal law, and most state and local zero tolerance policies, give school administrators the flexibility to tailor punishments to fit the circumstances, noted school safety expert Kenneth Trump.

"Contrary to the myth of zero tolerance, most school board policies provide options and flexibility for administrators. What you see is poor decision-making and poor implementation of the policies, rather than the fact school administrators are handcuffed in terms of their discretion," he said.

Trump said most school officials bend over backwards to be fair. But he added there's no question that Sandy Hook weighs heavily.

"It's a normal occurrence to have a heightened sensitivity after a high-profile tragedy, but that does not negate the need for common sense," he said.

Maryland father Stephen Grafton said common sense was in short supply in a case involving his 6-year-old son, who he said was suspended from White Marsh Elementary School in Trappe, along with a second 6-year-old, for using their hands as "guns" during recess.

Grafton, a staff sergeant in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, said administrators were criminalizing play. He said he told his son he shouldn't shoot pretend guns because it makes some children upset, "but it was a difficult conversation to have because he didn't do anything wrong."

The school lifted the suspension after a day and removed it from his record, Grafton said.

"It's a very hypersensitive time," he said. "But, still, common sense has to apply for something like this, and it looks like common sense just went completely out the window."

The school principal did not respond to messages.

Zero tolerance traces its philosophical roots to the "broken windows" theory of policing, which argues that if petty crime is held in check, more serious crime and disorder are prevented. So it's no accident that students are often harshly punished over relatively minor misbehavior, said Russell Skiba, a zero tolerance expert at Indiana University's Center for Evaluation and Education Policy.

"We've seen literally thousands of these kinds of episodes of zero tolerance since the early 1990s," said Skiba, who co-authored a 2006 study for the American Psychological Association that concluded zero tolerance has not improved school security.

In the Pennsylvania case, Guarna, a former police officer, said she was summoned to her daughter's school last month and told that 5-year-old Madison had talked about shooting her pink bubble gun.

The kindergartener was initially suspended for 10 days and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation, according to documents supplied by Guarna's attorney. The suspension was later reduced to two days, and the incident was reclassified as "threat to harm others."

But Guarna wasn't satisfied. The counselor who evaluated Madison indicated she was a "typical 5-year-old in temperament and interest." Guarna and her attorney, Robin Ficker, demanded the district expunge Madison's record, apologize and make policy changes.

The parties met recently and Guarna went away happy, though she said she was asked not to reveal the terms of her agreement with the district. The district's attorney declined to comment, citing privacy law.

Guarna said she intends to push for changes in state law.

"My daughter had to suffer. I don't want to see other kids suffering," Guarna said.

Mark Terry, a Texas principal and president of the National Association of Elementary School Principals, said most principals he knows are "not big supporters" of zero tolerance policies because they discount professional judgment.

But when discipline policies do provide leeway, he said, "I would hope that principals would, number one, use discretion and common sense. And if you do make a mistake, apologize and say, 'Hey, that was a boneheaded move.' Our sensitivities are just too high and we need to back off a little bit and take a look at what our real safety plan is."

2013 NFL Mock Draft: Pre-Combine Projections and Prospect Rankings

In recent years, by the time the NFL combine rolled around, it was usually pretty clear who is destined to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft.

This year is different. With just two months to go before the draft, there?s still a ton of mystery and uncertainty surrounding what the Kansas City Chiefs intend to do with the first selection.

In the past four drafts, a quarterback has been the first player taken, but there?s a very good chance that streak could come to an end this year.

With the combine and the all-important free-agent period on the horizon, there?s still plenty that will change in terms of the stock of the top prospects as well as the team?s individual needs. Nevertheless, here?s a look at the current pre-combine projections and predictions for all 32 first-round picks, along with prospect rankings for each individual position.

With the 1st Pick, the Kansas City Chiefs Select...

Sharrif Floyd, DT/DE, Florida

The Chiefs clearly need to find a new starting quarterback. However, if Andy Reid doesn't think Geno Smith is the right player to build around, then they could choose to spend the first overall pick to upgrade another area of need, such as the defensive line.?

The team has a quality young nose tackle in Dontari Poe, but it lacks a real difference-maker at defensive end.

Florida's Sharrif Floyd has all the physical tools to develop into a dominant 3-4 defensive end in the NFL. The 6'3'', 300-plus pound Floyd is a big, powerful and agile lineman, who showed plenty of flashes of dominance as a junior in 2012.?

With the 2nd Pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars Select...

Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M

In a recent interview with the Florida Times-Union, new Jaguars GM David Caldwell was quoted as saying that he would like to try to build around young QB Blaine Gabbert.?

What Caldwell really needs to do is give Gabbert some better bodyguards up front. Jacksonville ranked 30th in the NFL with 50 sacks allowed in 2012.?

Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, the 2012 Outland Trophy winner, is the type of gifted young tackle who could come in and immediately help fix the Jaguars' struggling offensive line.?

With the 3rd Pick, the Oakland Raiders Select...

Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia

The Raiders' decision to trade for Carson Palmer has turned out to be an epic disaster, as Palmer has been dreadful in Oakland. The team now needs to find a new offensive leader for the future.?

Although they have an intriguing young developmental quarterback in Terrelle Pryor, it still wouldn't be surprising to see the Raiders take the top QB in the 2013 draft class, Geno Smith.

Smith may not be a truly elite prospect. However, he possesses the type of size, arm talent, leadership qualities and football IQ to become a highly successful signal-caller in the pros.?

With the 4th Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select...

Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah

Philadelphia will switch to a 3-4 defense under new head coach Chip Kelly. That means that the Eagles will now be looking for front-seven personnel to fit the new scheme.?

One position of need is nose tackle, where projected starter Antonio Dixon is nothing more than average.

Utah's Star Lotulelei is a big, physical run-stuffer who has the versatility to line up at either nose tackle or defensive end in a 3-4 front. The 6'4'', 325-pound beast shares many of the same physical traits as another tackle of Tongan descent, Baltimore's Haloti Ngata.

With the 5th Pick, the Detroit Lions Select...

Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama

Detroit found a starting-caliber cornerback, Bill Bentley, in last year's draft. The problem is, other than Bentley, there's still a ton of uncertainty at the position, especially since Chris Houston, Drayton Florence and Jacob Lacey are all free agents.

Drafting a premiere young corner prospect such as Alabama's Dee Milliner would really help to solidify the Lions' shaky secondary.

Milliner shined in his one year as a full-time starter in Tuscaloosa. He ranked first in the nation with 22 total passes defended and locked down almost every receiver he squared off with.

With the 6th Pick, the Cleveland Browns Select...

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee

Cleveland has two very physically gifted young wideouts in Josh Gordon and Greg Little. But neither of them appear to be true No. 1 targets.

That's why the Browns could decide to take the best receiver prospect in the 2013 class, Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson, with their first-round pick.

The supremely athletic receiver showed tremendous explosiveness, playmaking ability and versatility in 2012. He ranked second in the country with an average of 18.8 yards per play and scored 10 touchdowns in four different ways.

With the 7th Pick, the Arizona Cardinals Select...

Mike Glennon, QB, NC State

Arizona has the weakest group of quarterbacks in the NFL. That's why the Cardinals will have to consider spending their first-round pick on a young signal-caller, even if it's not the best value pick.?

NC State's Mike Glennon is a quarterback who would fit in well in Arizona.

Glennon went just 15-11 in his two years as a starter in college, and his decision-making was spotty at times. Still, he's got the combination of size, arm strength and natural passing skills that scouts look for in a prototypical pro-style pocket passer.?

With the 8th Pick, the Buffalo Bills Select...

Alec Ogletree, ILB/OLB, Georgia

Buffalo currently has one of the weakest linebacker corps in the NFL, which is a big reason why the team ranked second to last in the league in run defense in 2012.?

This year's most talented linebacker prospect, Georgia's Alec Ogletree, is the type of difference-making defender who could come in and instantly give the unit a big boost.?

Admittedly, Ogletree does have some off-the-field red flags that will concern teams. However, the extremely athletic 'backer shined on the field in 2012, racking up 111 tackles in just 10 games of action.

With the 9th Pick, the New York Jets Select...

Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama

Both of the Jets' starting offensive guards, Matt Slauson and Brandon Moore, are free agents. Given the team's cap problems, it's doubtful that they'll be able to keep both, and there's a chance that neither may return.?

If they lose both guards, New York could look to the 2013 draft to fix up the interior of the offensive line.?

This year's top guard prospect, Alabama's Chance Warmack, is the type of big, physical and powerful run-blocker who could come in and be a solid starter from day one for a team like the Jets.

With the 10th Pick, the Tennessee Titans Select...

Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri

Tennessee has a talented young defensive tackle trio comprised of Jurrell Casey, Mike Martin and Karl Klug. However, the Titans lack a true standout at the position, which is a big reason why they ranked just 24th in the NFL in run defense in 2012.?

Adding a disruptive penetrator like Missouri's Sheldon Richardson to the interior would really help to strengthen the middle of the defense.?

Richardson looked simply unblockable at times in 2012, racking up 75 total tackles, including 39 solo stops, 10.5 tackles for loss and four sacks.?

With the 11th Pick, the San Diego Chargers Select...

Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State

Both of San Diego's starting cornerbacks, Antoine Cason and Quentin Jammer, are free agents, and it seems like a long shot?that both will be back with the Chargers in 2013.?

Although the team has two intriguing young corners in Marcus Gilchrist and Shareece Wright, more help will be needed, especially if both Cason and Jammer leave.?

Florida State's Xavier Rhodes is the type of big, speedy corner who would be a perfect replacement for Cason. Rhodes is still very raw, but his remarkable physical ability is certainly tantalizing.?

With the 12th Pick, the Miami Dolphins Select...

Kawann Short, DT, Purdue

Miami's defense allowed just four yards per carry in 2012. However, it will be almost impossible to remain that stout against the run next season if the Dolphins lose their top DT Randy Starks in free agency this offseason.?

If the team is unable to re-sign Starks, then it could turn to the draft to find his replacement.?

Purdue's Kawann Short seems a perfect replacement. Like Starks, the 6'3'', 315-pound Short possesses the combination of size, quickness and strength to flourish in Miami's 4-3 defense.

With the 13th Pick, the Tampa Bay Bucs Select...

Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon

Both of Tampa Bay's young defensive ends, Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers, have some serious durability issues to worry about.

The Bucs could select one of the top edge-rushers in the 2013 draft, such as Oregon's Dion Jordan, to add stability at a key position and boost a pass-rush tied for 29th in the league with just 27 total sacks in 2012.?

Jordan is a converted tight end who possesses the type of big, long frame and outstanding athletic ability to grow into a dynamic defender in the NFL.?

With the 14th Pick, the Carolina Panthers Select...

Kenny Vaccaro, FS, Texas

Carolina has some holes to fill at a few critical spots on defense. One of the most glaring problems is in the back end of the secondary, where Haruki Nakamura is one of the worst starting free safeties in the NFL.?

If this year's top safety prospect, Texas' Kenny Vaccaro, is available when the Panthers are on the clock, they should snatch him up, because he would be a huge upgrade over Nakamura.?

Vaccaro is an experienced three-year starter who has shown great leadership ability, natural playmaking instincts and all the skills it takes to be a Pro Bowl safety in the NFL.?

With the 15th Pick, the New Orleans Saints Select...

Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan

There's a good chance that free agent left tackle Jermon Bushrod has likely played his last down in a Saints uniform.

New Orleans certainly won't have an easy time re-signing the sought-after two-time Pro Bowl lineman. In fact, in a January interview with the Baton Rouge Advocate, GM Mickey Loomis called Bushrod the team's "No. 1 tough deal."

If the Saints lose Bushrod, they could turn to the draft to find their franchise tackle of the future. They wouldn't be able to find a much better tackle than Central Michigan's Eric Fisher, who has quickly become one of the fastest-rising prospects in the 2013 class.

With the 16th Pick, the St. Louis Rams Select...

D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama

The Rams' offensive line wasn't nearly as bad in 2012 as it was during its embarrassing performance in 2011. However, it's clear that St. Louis needs more help up front, as the line still gave up 35 sacks and 81 quarterback hits this past season.?

Alabama's D.J. Fluker is a physically gifted and experienced three-year starter, who could come in and help solve the team's problems in the trenches right away.

Fluker's pass-blocking skills still need some fine-tuning. But he's got the size, strength and tenacity to develop into one of the premiere run-blockers in the NFL early on in his pro career.?

With the 17th Pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers Select...

Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia

Adding more young playmakers to a rapidly aging defense has to be one of Pittsburgh's top priorities this offseason. One area where the team could certainly use some fresh blood is at outside linebacker, since soon-to-be 35-year-old James Harrison's skills seem to be quickly deteriorating.?

Georgia's Jarvis Jones is a player who would fit in perfectly on the edge of the Steelers' 3-4 defense.?

Jones isn't the same caliber of elite athlete as some of this year's other top pass-rushing prospects. But the two-time All-American displayed a knack for making huge, game-changing plays during his outstanding collegiate career.?

With the 18th Pick, the Dallas Cowboys Select...

Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State

It's going to be very interesting to see what type of personnel moves the Cowboys make this offseason, now that the defense will be transitioning from a base 3-4 defense to a 4-3 scheme under new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin.?

We know that DeMarcus Ware already has one defensive end spot locked down, but Dallas could still benefit from finding another young pass-rusher to complement him on the other side of the line.

Florida State's Bjoern Werner is a powerful, athletic and instinctive end who would form a terrific tandem with Ware. The German native is still noticeably raw and unrefined, but he's got the physical skills to become the next Jared Allen.

With the 19th Pick, the New York Giants Select...

Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma

It's really been surprising how much success the New York Giants offense had in recent years, considering the team has had one of the least talented offensive lines in the league.?

GM Jerry Reese has failed to properly address the team's weakness up front, especially at tackle. Now, it's finally time for Reese to go out and find a top-notch young tackle that the team can build around for the future.?

Oklahoma's Lane Johnson, a 6'7'', 303-pound former tight end, is the type of huge, athletic left tackle who would give QB Eli Manning the type of protection he desires.?

With the 20th Pick, the Chicago Bears Select...

Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina

Chicago's offensive line has been one of the team's main weak spots for the past few years, and there's still plenty of holes that need to be filled in the trenches.?

If the Bears want to find a lineman in the draft who could come in and start right away, they'll likely be targeting a prospect such as North Carolina's Jonathan Cooper.?

Cooper flourished during his four years as a starter in Chapel Hill. The athletic and fundamentally sound interior lineman showed that he has the versatility and physical skills to dominate as both a run-blocker and a pass-blocker.?

With the 21st Pick, the Cincinnati Bengals Select...

Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M

During a recent interview with NFL AM, DE Michael Johnson said he wants to remain in Cincinnati. But after the performance he just had in 2012, there are surely going to be plenty of teams that will be looking to throw big money his way in free agency.?

If the Bengals are unable to keep Johnson, they'll likely look to the draft to find a pass-rusher to make up for his loss.?

Texas A&M's Damontre Moore would be a perfect replacement. Moore is a high-motor player who really came into his own during his final collegiate season, racking up 12.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss.

With the 22nd Pick, the St. Louis Rams Select...

Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech

St. Louis drafted both Brian Quick and Chris Givens in last year's draft. However, the team could still use some more dangerous pass-catchers, especially since Brandon Gibson, Steve Smith and Danny Amendola are all free agents.?

Louisiana Tech's Quinton Patton is a pass-catching prospect that the Rams could become seriously interested in.?

Patton, who caught 104 passes and 13 touchdowns in 2012, is one of the fastest and most athletic players in the entire 2013 draft class. The speedy 6'2'', 205-pound senior is an explosive playmaker who would add a valuable new dimension to the team's offense.?

With the 23rd Pick, the Minnesota Vikings Select...

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson

It remains to be seen whether or not Minnesota will actually trade its top WR Percy Harvin. However, even if the Vikings end up holding on to Harvin, it's obvious that they still need more help at the position.?

The team needs a big-play receiver on the outside, who is capable of consistently making explosive game-changing plays in the passing game.?

Clemson's DeAndre Hopkins can do just that. Hopkins is coming off a brilliant breakout junior campaign, in which he averaged 17.1 yards per catch and scored 18 touchdowns.?

With the 24th Pick, the Indianapolis Colts Select...

Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU

Indianapolis has parted ways with one of the longtime faces of the franchise, Dwight Freeney. The move has now left an opening on the edge at outside linebacker that will need to be filled this offseason.?

Luckily for the Colts, there are going to be a few versatile "tweener" pass-rusher prospects available in the 2013 draft that could fit into the team's 3-4 defense. One of them is LSU's Barkevious Mingo.

Mingo is a Kamerion Wimbley clone who has been blessed with remarkable and rare athletic gifts. With the proper development and coaching, he could become a star pass-rusher in the NFL.?

With the 25th Pick, the Seattle Seahawks Select...

Kyle Long, OG, Oregon

Seattle's found its franchise quarterback of the future in Russell Wilson. Now, it's time for the team to invest in keeping him safe, which means fortifying the offensive line.?

Paul McQuistan and James Carpenter are one of the weakest guard duos in the NFL, and the team could clearly use an upgrade at the position.?

Oregon's Kyle Long, the son of Hall-of-Famer Howie Long, is one of this year's most talented interior linemen. He's also a player who coach Pete Carroll?is very familiar with. Back when he was coaching at USC,?Carroll was impressed with Long and offered him a scholarship to play for the Trojans.?

With the 26th Pick, the Green Bay Packers Select...

Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego State

Tyler Eifert and Zach Ertz are the two tight ends in the 2013 draft, who have generated the most publicity so far. However, if you're looking for the tight end that's going to generate the most buzz in the next two months, it's San Diego State's Gavin Escobar.?

Escobar is a super-athletic 6'6'', 255-pound receiving weapon, who will create some major matchup problems for opposing defenses in the NFL.?

Green Bay, which could part ways with TE Jermichael Finley before the draft, could be one of the teams that target Escobar in the latter part of the first round.?

With the 27th Pick, the Houston Texans Select...

Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina

Wade Phillips has worked wonders with the Texans' defense since he arrived in Houston back in 2011 and switched the unit to a primarily base 3-4 front.?

Even though the defense has been highly successful with Phillips at the helm over the last two years, the team still lacks a truly dominant nose tackle.?

That's why the Texans could look to add a young monstrous middle man like North Carolina's Sylvester Williams in the 2013 draft. Williams is an agile and powerful 6'3'', 315-pound run-stuffer capable of causing havoc in the interior.

With the 28th Pick, the Denver Broncos Select...

Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU

Denver's defense was able to survive with 37-year-old Keith Brooking at middle linebacker in 2012. However, the team will have to find a more capable starter at the position this offseason.?

Luckily, there should be a few quality inside 'backer prospects available when the Broncos are picking late in the first round. One player that the front-office could have its eye on is LSU's Kevin Minter.?

The 6'2'', 245-pound Minter is an outstanding run-stopper who put together a terrific performance as a junior in 2012, racking up 130 tackles, including 55 solo stops, 15 tackles for loss and four sacks.?

With the 29th Pick, the New England Patriots Select...

Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia

New England's top two wide receivers from 2012, Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd, will both turn 32 this offseason. Even if the Patriots decide to re-sign Welker, who will be a hotly pursued free agent, it's clear that the team needs to add more young playmakers in the passing game.

West Virginia's Stedman Bailey is a player who would fit in perfectly in New England's offense.?

Bailey, who hauled in 114 catches and scored 25 touchdowns in 2012, is one of the most physically gifted and technically sound prospects in the 2013 draft class. He's got the potential to become an even more dangerous weapon than Welker.

With the 30th Pick, the Atlanta Falcons Select...

Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU

Atlanta's top pass-rusher, John Abraham, put together one of the best seasons of his career in 2012, racking up 10 sacks and forcing six fumbles. However, it's unlikely that the soon-to-be 35-year-old DE will be able to keep up the pace for much longer.?

The Falcons need to find Abraham's eventual replacement, and BYU's Ezekiel Ansah could be just the player to fit that role.?

Ansah, a native of Ghana who has only been playing football since 2010, is still an extremely raw project. But he's got the type of rare athleticism and physical ability that you just don't see very often from a 6'6'', 270-pound player.?

With the 31st Pick, the San Francisco 49ers Select...

Brandon Williams, DT, Missouri Southern

San Francisco had one of the strongest defenses in the NFL in 2012. However, coach Jim Harbaugh knows that if he wants to ensure the unit's success for the future, the team will have to continue to add young dynamic defenders to the mix.?

One defensive position that the team could look to solidify with its 2013 first-round pick is nose tackle, where 31-year-old Isaac Sopoaga will be a free agent.?

Small school stud Brandon Williams is the type of player who is starting to surge up draft boards, and he could end up being a late first-round prospect that a team like the 49ers covet.

With the 32nd Pick, the Baltimore Ravens Select...

Jonathan Cyprien, FS/SS, FIU

We know Ray Lewis' career in Baltimore has come to an end, but it's also likely that Lewis' longtime teammate Ed Reed has also played his last down in a Ravens uniform as well.?

If Reed either retires or signs with another team this offseason, the Ravens will need to find a new starter at free safety, since there doesn't currently seem to be a player on the roster who could fill that job.?

Jonathan Cyprien is a big, physical ball-hawk who could start right away as a rookie. Cyprien's stock is soaring after a fantastic performance during Senior Bowl week, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him end up in the first round when all is said and done.?

Apple lost iPhone trademark in Brazil

Apple have now officially lost the iPhone trademark in Brazil to Gradiente Eletronica who has the exclusive rights to the name in South America?s biggest market which?registered?the name in 2000, seven years before Apple launched their version of iPhone.

The ruling was made by The Brazilian Institute of Industrial Property. As?surprising?it may look, Gradiente Eletronica recently launched their ?iPHONE? which is an Android-powered smartphone.?As of now, Apple has filed an appeal stating that the Brazilian-based company did not use their trademark name between 2008 and January and also keeping that in mind, asked the regulators to remove the registration.

Gradiente has legal rights to keep the name until 2018.

Miscues doom Broncos against #19 New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) ? Senior reserve Jamal Fenton gave New Mexico just what it needed in the second half Saturday against Boise State with starting point guard Hugh Greenwood in foul trouble and struggling with his shot.

Fenton scored all 11 of his points in the second half to help the No. 19 Lobos (22-4, 9-2 New Mexico) hold off the Broncos 60-50.

Cameron Bairstow led the Lobos with 16 points and added seven rebounds, and Tony Snell finished with 12 points, six rebounds and four assists for New Mexico.

Derrick Marks was the only player to score in double figures for the Broncos (16-8, 4-6). Marks had 19 points and seven rebounds, and reserve Kenny Buckner grabbed 11 rebounds for Boise State.

"This has been a team that has an awful lot of balance and a lot of guys score," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said of the Broncos. "So to have only one guy in double figures, I thought that was a really good defensive effort by our guys."

Fenton hit a trio of key 3-pointers to provide all of the Lobos' points during an 8-minute stretch in which their lead shrank from 38-29 to 47-46.

"I thought Jamal Fenton really gave us a boost in the second half when we weren't making shots," Alford said. "And that's what seniors have got to do."

Fenton had gone 0 for 10 on 3-pointers in the previous four games before breaking his slump.

"He did a really good job in the second half when we weren't scoring," Alford said.

Fenton sank half of the Lobos' second-half field goals and made the only 3s of the half.

But New Mexico's defense forced the Broncos into 11 straight scoreless possessions while the Lobos pulled away from the line by going 8 of 10 in that span. Boise State went just 5 of 10 from the line for the game, including missing three foul shots during its scoreless stretch.

New Mexico's ability to successfully get to the line and convert its chances throughout the second half proved to be key with the Lobos going 16 of 19 after making 3 of 6 in the first half.

That speaks to the Lobos' mental toughness, Alford said. "It was really a gut-check performance," he said. "We grew up mentally. We've been a mentally tough team all year long. And this was definitely a mentally tough win."

Broncos coach Leon Rice credited New Mexico's defense with a stifling effort, holding them to 37-percent shooting and 5 of 20 from 3-point range.

"They did a great job defensively," he said. "They never let our guys get into a good rhythm. We didn't feel like we got into a good rhythm, There were a couple times there where we thought we might get it going, and we just never really got it going but again, that's a credit to New Mexico."
