Unlike most other sports leagues, which hold their all-star games during (roughly) the halfway point of their respective regular seasons, the Pro Bowl is played at the end of the NFL season. The first "Pro All-Star Game," featuring the all-stars of the 1938 season (as well as three players from the Los Angeles Bulldogs, who were not members of the league at the time), was played on January 15, 1939 at Los Angeles's Wrigley Field.[1] The NFL All-Star Game would then be played in Los Angeles until 1940 and then in New York and Philadelphia in 1941 and 1942 respectively, after which the game was suspended due to World War II. The concept of an all-star game would not be revived until 1951, when the newly rechristened Pro Bowl played at various venues before being held at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii for 30 consecutive seasons from 1980 to 2009. The 2010 Pro Bowl was played at Sun Life Stadium, the home stadium of the Miami Dolphins and host site of Super Bowl XLIV, on January 31, the first time ever that the Pro Bowl was held before the championship game, with the conference teams not including players from the teams that will be playing in the Super Bowl. The event is scheduled to return to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012.

Ray Drew Videos
Biography: Ray Drew finished his junior season with 72 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and seven sacks. Ray Drew says he can bench 315-pounds and squat 455.
Partial senior (4-1) stats: 35 tackles, two forced fumbles, one sack and one fumble recovery
Drew reports a 3.0 core GPA, a 17 ACT and a 1350 three-part May SAT. No plans to retake.
Drew: “I’m good at the pass rush. I bring good size to the line and I’m pretty quick. I have great reach. I have a 6-foot-10 wingspan, so I use my hands and arms to keep guys off me.
“I have a great swim and rip move too.
“I want to improve my footwork and coordination. I want better agility.”
Ray Drew is an elite pass rusher who plays with a lot of energy. Not too often do you see guys of his size make plays on special teams, but he does not come off the field much when he can attack the football. He still needs to add weight and just play more aggressive. He likes to get up field, but he needs to hold his ground better against the run. He has the ideal frame to add weight and he has an elite package as a pass rusher

Steve Jobs Cancer
![]() |
| Steve Jobs Cancer |
Yesterday, Apple announced the third known absence by Jobs for medical reasons over the last 7 years. York told me about the treatment, which was not available in the U.S., in the context of our discussions about Jobs, his health and Apple's future. Under our agreement at the time, York wanted the facts of Jobs's treatment in Switzerland to remain out of the news. He didn't say whether the board knew of it. (With York's death, the off-the-record agreement is no longer in place.)
A neuroendocrine cancer expert at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics said Monday that recent studies show that "survival rates are improving" due to better treatment. At the time Jobs's cancer was originally diagnosed in 2004, according to Dr. Thor Halfdanarson, the five-year survival rate for metastatic disease was thought to be less than 20%. Today "the prognosis is getting better," with the five-year survival rate at 55% to 57%, he said, according to one recent study.
The circumstances surrounding this leave by Steve Jobs cancer are unknown, but the kind of cancer he was treated for in 2004 is known to recur. If his leave is due to a recurrence, "we don't know where, in his new liver or elsewhere,'' that recurrence could be, said Dr. Halfdanarson. Speculation about Jobs's prognosis would thus also be premature, according to Dr. Halfdanarson.
Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton in an email response to questions declined to elaborate on the company's announcement. However, the announcement by Apple seems to indicate that Jobs is taking his health extremely seriously. As Peter Elkind reported in his 2008 "Trouble with Steve" Fortune story, Jobs was initially opposed to his 2004 surgery, choosing instead to treat his tumor through a special diet. Whatever course of action Jobs is taking now, his leave of absence suggests it's not one that can be balanced with the duties of leading the world's largest tech company and second largest U.S. company overall.
While York told me he didn't know exactly why Jobs and his doctors had sought medical care in Switzerland, it is the home for the world-renowned University Hospital of Basel, which has developed a special form of hormone-delivered radiotherapy to treat neuroendocrine cancer. The treatment isn't available in the U.S. (In April 2009, Jobs underwent his liver transplant at the Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Given the demands of transplant recovery and the timing of his return to Apple, it's likely he visited Basel before his transplant.)
York, who grew up in Tennessee, told me he was "very familiar" with the Memphis hospital and the care offered there. The Wall Street Journal reported in April 2010, after York's death, that he was displeased with Jobs's lack of transparency about his illness and had nearly resigned from the board over the matter.
According to Steve Jobs and Apple, the diagnosis of the chief executive officer's illness took place in 2004 as a result of a lesion in his pancreas. Doctors removed the tumor. Sometimes neuroendocrine cancer, which generally is a slow-growing tumor, is confused with more virulent forms of pancreatic cancer. The disease can spread to endocrine tissue in the liver, lungs and other organs and most commonly is treated with surgery to remove, burn, freeze or starve the tumors.
Dr. Halfdanarson said that chemotherapy, which once was regarded as ineffective against neuroendocrine cancer, is showing some promise. Sutent, Asinitor, Xeloda used with Temodar are medicines that have been able to slow growth or shrink tumors in some patients, he said. However, Halfdanarson added that shrinking tumors and slowing their growth doesn't necessarily add to life expectancy.
"There has been an explosion of research," he said. "That's probably because there are more patients since many formerly went undiagnosed."

Helena Bonham Carter

| Helena Bonham Carter |
After experiencing family dramas that included her father's stroke-which left him wheelchair-bound-and attending South Hampstead High School and Westminster School in London, Helena Bonham Carter devoted herself to an acting career. That trajectory actually began in 1979 when, at age 13, she entered a national poetry writing competition and used her second place winnings to place her photo in the casting directory "Spotlight." She soon had her first agent and her first acting job, in a commercial, at age 16. She then landed a role in the made-for-TV movie A Pattern of Roses (1983) (TV), which subsequently led to her casting in the Merchant Ivory films A Room with a View (1985) and Lady Jane (1986), which was her first leading role.
Often referred to as the "corset queen" or "English rose" because of her early work, Helena Bonham Carter has continued to surprise audiences with magnificent performances in a variety of roles from her more traditional corset-clad character in The Wings of the Dove (1997) and Shakespearian damsels to the dark and neurotic anti-heroines of Fight Club (1999) and many of Tim Burton's films. Though consistently a versatile and engaging actress, Bonham Carter has never won a major American film award. However, she has received a number of critical awards and has been nominated for five Golden Globes, an Oscar, a SAG Award, and two Emmys.
Bonham Carter was nominated for a Golden Globe for the fifth time for her role in partner Tim Burton's film adaptation of the Steven Sondheim musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), for which Burton and co-star Johnny Depp were also nominated. Since their meeting while filming Planet of the Apes (2001), Bonham Carter and Burton have made four movies together. They live in adjoining residences in London, sharing a connecting hallway, and have two children: Billy Ray Burton, 4, and Nell Burton, who was born December 15, 2007. Ironically, a mutual love of Sweeney Todd was part of the initial attraction for the pair. Despite that, Bonham Carter has said in numerous interviews that her audition process for the role of Mrs. Lovett was the most grueling of her career and that, ultimately, it was Sondheim who she had to convince that she was right for the role.
