Everyone was interested to see how he held up at the combine, particularly how fast he could go. This will certainly help, though Bowman still could be a late-round guy due to his injury past.

Bowman recently wrote a draft diary for NFLplayers.com.

Here's some of it: I always told myself that I wouldn't go to Nebraska, but I had a change of heart on the airplane when I landed. It was a fun time there. I met my fiancée there and football-wise had a really good first year there. I didn't play my second year at Nebraska due to a knee injury. My third year, I played, but we didn't have quite as successful of a season as we all wanted to. It is what it is though and I learned from it. I had some ups and downs while I was at Nebraska, but I got through it. After the 2006 season I considered entering the NFL Draft, but in the end I decided to come back for another year at Nebraska.

Of course, they don't add back the time you've spent being debriefed or watching them fumble around because they weren't properly trained or their computers were outdated or upgraded. None of this is the fault of clerks. They're just doing their jobs. The fault lies with managers who've decided to do inventory and marketing on your time -- Gary Crooks/Smart Bombs.

Book Excerpt

But it was only over time, the media bringing it up, old friends talking about it and asking about it, that I've come to see just what an incredible event it was. I made some strong statements about it at the time, but remember, right after we won that game, we had to fly back to L.A. and get ready for the next one, and the one after that. Sports is hard to be involved in and see the big picture."

What had happened, whether Goux was too busy to see it or not, was that a region looked into its collective Christian conscience and knew that they could no longer interpret the Bible from a racist perspective. For the Greek-American USC linebacker John Papadakis, who found himself as the liaison bridging the volatile black-white world that still divided the Trojans, it fulfilled the Platonic ideals that shaped his life and gave it meaning.


2nd Monday shooting reported in Palomas

Area law enforcement representatives met Tuesday morning in Las Cruces with Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., and Homeland Security's Steve Austin after more shootings in Palomas.

The Luna County Sheriff's Office reports the latest shooting was Monday evening. It had not confirmed the victim's name. He is believed to be from Palomas but with a Luna County residence.

Early Monday morning, said Sheriff Raymond Cobos, two people were killed and two wounded in shootings in Palomas.

The dead were identified as Javier Otero of Columbus and Adan Perez of Palomas. Injured were Hector Leyva Flores, who was airlifted to El Paso's Thomason Hospital for treatment, and Ricardo Regalado Ramirez, taken to Deming's Mimbres Memorial Hospital for treatment of shotgun pellet wounds to the lower back.


America's oldest street connects history, fun in St. Augustine

"It's a business doing pleasure with you," declares leather craftsman Dan Holiday, whether you shop or not in his studio on America's oldest street in St. Augustine.

He's all about the pleasure part, shaping vegetable-tanned leather into soft handbags or sharkskin into belts, and meeting people walking on the brick street built in 1565.

Horses clomp by too, with carriage drivers telling their passengers tales of this Florida city founded by the Spanish, invaded by the British and chosen by Minorcan people fleeing New Smyrna in 1777. Florida became America's 27th state in 1845.

That carriage ride is fun, but making friends with Holiday and his neighbors on this two-block street requires strolling. Carefully. This is an old street, really old, so can't be expected to be smooth and even.
