The Tigers must replace the quarterback (Hayden Holmes), running back (Jakeem Johnson) and receivers (Hunter Rasberry, Randall Smith) who accounted for most of the offense and 30 touchdowns last season.
"Some people are gonna be counting us out because of who we lost, but I'm excited for what we have coming back," Burcham said.
A few good senior athletes return along with others who showed potential as first-time starters as sophomores last season.
"We just need some guys to grow up. We're not gonna be that far off from where we've been," Burcham said.
Last year, the Tigers went 6-5 and were close to being quite a bit better. They lost three games decided by a touchdown or less. They also upset eventual 5A champion Carl Albert and came within an eyelash of erasing a 33-point deficit in their first-round playoff loss to Bishop Kelley.
Defensive starters as juniors, Tristan Butcher and Caleb Wheeler are now prime candidates for playing time at Johnson's old spot in the offensive backfield.
Another likely contributor is sophomore-to-be Key'landus Colton. "He's shown the potential to be really, really good," Burcham said.
Ryan Fitzsimmons and sophomore-to-be Jake Northern, who started at third base as a freshman on the varsity baseball team, are competing at quarterback.
"They're really '1' and '1A'," said Burcham, 32-24 in his first five seasons. "They'll rotate evenly, but Ryan will go out first because he has a couple of years in the system. I just see them having a really good competition."
The Tigers return a solid nucleus on defense with linebackers Butcher and Sam Dawes, defensive back Wheeler and linemen Michael Bogner, Kent Graham and Bill Perry.
Another standout is senior offensive lineman Craig Stunkard, who was part of the seventh-grade class when Burcham arrived as head coach.
"It's fun to see these guys develop," Burcham said. "Stunkard goes from being a backup cornerback as a seventh-grader to one of our best offensive linemen as a senior."

May 20, 2013 ? The allure of personalized medicine has made new, more efficient ways of sequencing genes a top research priority. One promising technique involves reading DNA bases using changes in electrical current as they are threaded through a nanoscopic hole.
Now, a team led by University of Pennsylvania physicists has used solid-state nanopores to differentiate single-stranded DNA molecules containing sequences of a single repeating base.
The study was led by Marija Drndi?, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the School of Arts and Sciences, along with graduate students Kimberly Venta and Matthew Puster and post-doctoral researchers Gabriel Shemer, Julio A. Rodriguez-Manzo and Adrian Balan. They collaborated with assistant professor Jacob K. Rosenstein of Brown University and professor Kenneth L. Shepardof Columbia University.
Their results were published in the journal ACS Nano.
In this technique, known as DNA translocation measurements, strands of DNA in a salt solution are driven through an opening in a membrane by an applied electric field. As each base of the strand passes through the pore, it blocks some ions from passing through at the same time; amplifiers attached to the nanopore chip can register the resulting drop in electrical current. Because each base has a different size, researchers hope to use this data to infer the order of the bases as the strand passes through. The differences in base sizes are so small, however, that the proportions of both the nanopores and membranes need to be close those of the DNA strands themselves -- a major challenge.
The nanopore devices closest to being a commercially viable option for sequencing are made out of protein pores and lipid bilayers. Such protein pores have desirable proportions, but the lipid bilayer membranes in which they are inserted are akin to a film of soap, which leaves much to be desired in terms of durability and robustness.
Solid-state nanopore devices, which are made of thin solid-state membranes, offer advantages over their biological counterparts -- they can be more easily shipped and integrated with other electronics -- but the basic demonstrations of proof-of-principle sensitivity to different DNA bases have been slower.
"While biological nanopores have shown the ability to resolve single nucleotides, solid-state alternatives have lagged due to two challenges of actually manufacturing the right-sized pores and achieving high-signal, low-noise and high-bandwidth measurements," Drndi? said. "We're attacking those two challenges here."
Because the mechanism by which the nanopore differentiate between one type of base and another is by the amount of the pore's aperture that is blocked, the smaller a pore's diameter, the more accurate it is. For the nanopore to be effective at determining a sequence of bases, its diameter must approach the diameter of the DNA and its thickness must approach that of the space between one base and the next, or about 0.3 nanometers.
To get solid-state nanopores and membranes in these tiny proportions, researchers, including Drndi?'s group, are investigating cutting-edge materials, such as graphene. A single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, graphene membranes can be made a little as about 0.5 nanometers thick but have their own disadvantages to be addressed. For example, the material itself is hydrophobic, making it more difficult to pass strands of DNA through them.
In this experiment, Drndi? and her colleagues worked with a different material -- silicon nitride -- rather than attempting to craft single-atom-thick graphene membranes for nanopores. Treated silicon nitride is hydrophilic and has readily allowed DNA translocations, as measured by many other researchers during the last decade. And while their membrane is thicker, about 5 nanometers, silicon nitride pores can also approach graphene in terms of thinness due to the way they are manufactured.
"The way we make the nanopores in silicon nitride makes them taper off, so that the effective thickness is about a third of the rest of the membrane," Drndi? said.
Drndi? and her colleagues tested their silicon nitride nanopore on homopolymers, or single strands of DNA with sequences that consist of only one base repeated several times. The researchers were able to make distinct measurements for three of the four bases: adenine, cytosine and thymine. They did not attempt to measure guanine as homopolymers made with that base bind back on themselves, making it more difficult to pass them through the nanopores.
"We show that these small pores are sensitive to the base content," Drndi? said, "and we saw these results in pores with diameters between 1 and 2 nanometers, which is actually encouraging because it suggests some manufacturing variability may be okay."

Education Minister Hekia Parata has today announced the next phase of consultation on transforming the New Zealand Teachers Council into a professional body fit for the 21st Century.
Ms Parata has released the New Zealand Teachers Council review report together with a discussion document proposing the establishment of a new professional body for teaching and education leadership.
?A skilled, ethical, well researched and well led education profession is vital for New Zealand?s future. Educational success does not happen without great teachers and leaders and both require our best and brightest people, and all deserve a strong professional body to support them,?? says Ms Parata.
?It is in the interests of all New Zealanders that we have a strong and universally respected education profession that delivers the values, skills and knowledge that our children and young people need to be successful in the 21st century economy and society.?
The Government has a critical interest in ensuring that all young New Zealanders are getting the best education possible.
?Achieving this is not something the Government can or should do alone. We need the education profession with all the knowledge, expertise, and professional capabilities it can bring to the development of the highest quality teaching, and the highest quality education leadership.??
The Teachers Council Review Committee took into account 177 submissions, interviews with individuals and groups from throughout the education sector, considered New Zealand and international research, and looked at similar professional bodies in the health, legal, and engineering sectors.
It made 24 recommendations which fall into four key themes: a new professional body, the regulatory framework for teachers, the disciplinary framework, and resourcing to support a strong, professional body.
In addition, the Ministerial Cross Sector Forum on Raising Achievement made recommendations about strengthening the quality of education leadership in early childhood centres and schools.
The Government has appointed a Ministerial Advisory Group to lead consultation with the sector and the public on the proposals over the next two months.
The Group will be headed by Dr Graham Stoop and is made up of eight other educational leaders.
?I?m delighted Dr Stoop has agreed to be seconded to the Ministry of Education from his duties as Chief Executive of the Education Review Office to chair this group.
?His experience and standing in the education sector will be hugely valuable.??
One of the key findings in the review was that the Council ?as it is currently structured, governed and positioned, can?t effectively set and enforce standards for entry, progression and professional accountability with the full support of the profession. It lacks a distinctive brand or effective public voice.??
?The Government will work with the sector to transform the Council into a professional body for the 21st Century, geared to support a well led professional workforce that is skilled, flexible and culturally intelligent.
?My vision is for a strong New Zealand professional body that provides leadership and is owned and driven by the education profession. The proposed new body would drive changes to improve the quality of teaching and education leadership, and ensure robust processes are in place to protect children.??
The review made a number of recommendations on a new regulatory framework. It recommended clearer separation between becoming registered as a teacher and the issuing of practising certificates, which certify the ongoing competence of teachers.
It also recommended that in addition to the current Limited Authority to Teach, a broader Authority to Educate is introduced to allow individuals with proven expertise to complement the teaching workforce.
The review also endorsed a move to post graduate entry to the profession for school teachers.
?We know the most important thing we can do to raise achievement is to raise teaching and leadership quality throughout the whole education system,?? says Ms Parata.
?This is a priority for our Government. That?s why in Budget 2013 we announced we are investing $37.5 million over four years to lift the quality of teaching and leadership. This is on top of $352 million we are already planning to spend on professional learning and development for our education profession over the next four years.
?As the review found, to improve outcomes for all students and to address equity issues, New Zealand must have a flexible, skilled and culturally intelligent and well-led workforce.?
Notes
The review of the New Zealand Teachers Council was instigated in 2010 following recommendations from the Workforce Advisory Group?s report: A Vision for the Teaching Profession. The Government made a commitment to carry this work through in 2011.
The review started in July and took into account the findings of the Ministerial Report into the Employment of a Convicted Sex Offender in the Education Sector.
The review committee comprised Pauline Winter (chair), Dr Judith Aitken, John Morris, and Robyn Baker.
The New Zealand Teachers Council was established in 1989 following the disestablishment of the Teacher Registration Board. It currently regulates over 100,000 registered teachers across the schools and early education sectors. Most of these (70 per cent) are fully registered with the remaining 30 per cent some way towards full registration.

That cat's out of the bag a day early, it seems. Yahoo's board has approved a $1.1 billion cash deal to purchase the blogging site Tumblr, according to The Wall Street Journal. We were expecting Yahoo to announce the acquisition during tomorrow's NYC media event -- CEO Marissa Mayer may instead use the last-minute gathering to detail the company's plans for integrating the popular platform. It's unclear how Yahoo intends to utilize its latest procurement, but with a 10-figure price tag now public, we can only imagine that Tumblr will be put to good use. We'll be covering tomorrow afternoon's event live, so stay tuned for more details from New York City.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) ? Tony Parker had 20 points and nine assists, Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points and the San Antonio Spurs struck first in the Western Conference finals by beating the Memphis Grizzlies 105-83 on Sunday.
The Spurs avoided a repeat of their Game 1 loss from when the teams met two years ago in the first round. The Grizzlies went on to knock San Antonio out of the playoffs as the top seed that time.
San Antonio raced out to a 17-point lead in the first quarter, then came up with a response when Memphis rallied to get within six in the second half. Both teams pulled their starters with over 5 minutes left and the Spurs leading by 21.
Quincy Pondexter led Memphis with 17 points. Grizzlies All-Star Zach Randolph missed his first seven shots and scored his only points on a tip-in with 9:26 left in the game.
Game 2 is Tuesday night in San Antonio.
The NBA's stingiest defense wasn't up to its usual standards, allowing the Spurs to hit 53 percent of their shots and a franchise postseason record 14 3-pointers while Randolph struggled. Randolph was a non-factor after going for a playoff-best 28 points and 14 rebounds as Memphis eliminated defending West champ Oklahoma City in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
The Grizzlies started to rally as soon as Randolph came out of the game for the first time in the second half.
Pondexter made a baseline cut for a layup off of a Darrell Arthur pass, then hit back-to-back 3-pointers during a 10-0 burst. Jerryd Bayless' two-handed, fast-break dunk off of a steal got the Grizzlies within 62-56 with 3:43 left in the third quarter.
The comeback was short-lived, though.
Bayless missed a 3-pointer on the next trip, and Manu Ginobili was able to make one at the opposite end to spark an 11-1 response that immediately restored the Spurs' lead to 16 by end of the quarter. Leonard hit a pair of 3-pointers and Gary Neal had one as San Antonio kept pouring it on in the fourth.
The four regular-season meetings were all won by the team with more points in the paint, but perimeter shooting proved to be a bigger factor in the playoff opener. Memphis, which was second in the NBA by holding opponents to 33.8 shooting on 3-pointers, let San Antonio make 13 of its first 24 from behind the arc and finish 14 of 29.
Danny Green connected three times and scored 16, and Matt Bonner hit four of his five attempts for 12 points.
Marc Gasol provided 15 points for Memphis, and Mike Conley had 14 points and eight assists.
The Spurs asserted themselves early, scoring on their first seven possessions and also getting a couple head-to-head defensive stops from their veterans while claiming a quick 23-8 lead. Parker swiped the ball from Conley on Memphis' second possession, running out for a layup, and Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins burned a timeout in the first 2 minutes.
Tim Duncan snuffed out the ensuing play by blocking Randolph's shot, and the Spurs' strong start continued. Bonner hit back-to-back 3-pointers for a 17-point edge late in the first quarter, and San Antonio pushed out to a 43-23 advantage following consecutive baskets by Parker with 6:06 left before halftime.
It was the largest first-half deficit for the Grizzlies during the playoffs.
Gasol hit three baskets as Memphis made a push to get back in the game before halftime, trimming the deficit to 51-37 at the break.
Notes: Memphis' only larger deficit this postseason came in the first-round opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. L.A. didn't lead by 20 until the final minute of a 112-91 victory. ... Tracy McGrady got a standing ovation when he checked in with the Spurs up by 20 midway through the fourth quarter. ... The Spurs had 13 3-pointers in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers in last year's playoffs, on May 15.

Warming oceans are changing the mix of species in the world's fisheries, according to a new study. Marine-ecosystem models have indicated that this could be an effect from global warming.
Lobsterman Mike Horning paddles his skiff across Perkins Cove after returning from fishing on a mild winter day, in Ogunquit, Maine, in February. Warming oceans are changing the mix of species in the world's fisheries as fish try to remain in waters in their preferred temperature range, according to a new study.

The movement to keep pace with preferred temperatures shows up most starkly in the northeastern Pacific Ocean and the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, as fish migrate out of the subtropics to beat the heat.
The changes have particular implication for people living in the coastal tropics who either subsist on fishing or fish commercially, the research team says. If ocean temperatures continue to warm there, the heat could top a level that even tropical species find intolerable, reducing their abundance, the researchers say.
This raises the urgency of adopting approaches that minimize other stresses on fisheries, such as pollution and overfishing, the team says.
Marine-ecosystem models have indicated that global warming's impact on ocean temperatures would trigger such a migration. And studies of individual regions have documented the arrival of species from warmer aquatic climes.
This latest effort represents the first attempt at documenting the changes for the planet as a whole, says William Cheung, a scientist with the Fisheries Centre at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, who led the team. The techniques that the team used, along with the results, appear in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
The general pattern reported in the study is "very similar" to results from studies that have focused on the US Northeast's fisheries, says Michael Fogarty, who heads the ecosystem assessment program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole., Mass.
Off the New England coast, for instance, marine scientists tracked migration trends for 36 fish species and found that 75 percent had moved north or into deeper water or both to keep their cool, Dr. Fogarty says.
At the same time, "the Atlantic croaker, a subtropical species, is moving north and is having higher reproductive success as well" in northern waters, he says.
Meanwhile, fishermen in the Gulf of Maine are reporting highly unusual species for the area: black sea bass, which could earn them a tidy sum; new species of squid; and blue crabs, Fogarty adds.
The work by Dr. Cheung and colleagues "is a very interesting study, and its global reach makes it quite important," he says.
The study covers a period spanning 1970 to 2006. The team examined catch records compiled by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, as well as from regional and national fisheries groups. The researchers divvied the catch data among 52 large marine ecosystems ? for example, the US Northeast's continental shelf, the North Sea, or ecosystems defined by currents such as the Canary Current (a segment of a much larger North Atlantic surface current that skirts the Canary Islands).

May 14, 2013 ? Most consumers who are shopping for a new car depend on good crash safety ratings as an indicator of how well the car will perform in a crash. But a new University at Buffalo study of crashes involving cars and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) has found those crash ratings are a lot less relevant than vehicle type.
The study is being presented May 16 at the annual meeting of the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine in Atlanta.
In head-on collisions between passenger cars and SUVs, the UB researchers found that drivers in passenger cars were nearly 10 times more likely to die if the SUV involved had a better crash rating. Drivers of passenger cars were more than four times more likely to die even if the passenger car had a better crash rating than the SUV.
"When two vehicles are involved in a crash, the overwhelming majority of fatalities occur in the smaller and lighter of the two vehicles," says Dietrich Jehle, MD, UB professor of emergency medicine at Erie County Medical Center and first author.
"But even when the two vehicles are of similar weights, outcomes are still better in the SUVs," he says, "because in frontal crashes, SUVs tend to ride over shorter passenger vehicles, due to bumper mismatch, crushing the occupant of the passenger car."
When crash ratings were not considered, the odds of death for drivers in passenger cars were more than seven times higher than SUV drivers in all head-on crashes. In crashes involving two passenger cars, a lower car safety rating was associated with a 1.28 times higher risk of death for the driver and a driver was 1.22 times more likely to die in a head-on crash for each point lower in the crash rating.
The UB researchers conducted the retrospective study on severe head-on motor vehicle crashes in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) database between 1995 and 2010. The database includes all motor vehicle crashes that resulted in a death within 30 days and includes 83,521 vehicles involved in head-on crashes.
"Along with price and fuel efficiency, car safety ratings are one of the things that consumers rely on when shopping for an automobile," says Jehle. These ratings, from one to five stars, are based on data from frontal, side barrier and side pole crashes that compare vehicles of similar type, size and weight. The one to five star safety rating system was created in 1978 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Jehle notes that after manufacturers addressed the roll-over problem with SUVs that plagued these vehicles in the 1980s and 1990s, rollover crashes are now much less common in SUVs.
"Currently, the larger SUVs are some of the safest cars on the roadways with fewer rollovers and outstanding outcomes in frontal crashes with passenger vehicles," he says.
Jehle says that prior studies on frontal crashes have found that compared to passenger cars with a 5-star crash rating, cars with a rating from one to four stars have a 7-36% increase in driver death rates.
"Passenger vehicles with excellent safety ratings may provide a false degree of confidence to the buyer regarding the relative safety of these vehicles as demonstrated by our findings," says Jehle. "Consumers should take into consideration the increased safety of SUVs in head-on crashes with passenger vehicles when purchasing a car."
Co-authors with Jehle, all from UB, are: Albert Arslan and Chirag Doshi, MD candidates in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences; Joseph Consiglio, data manager/statistician for the UB Department of Emergency Medicine and a graduate student in the Department of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health and Health Professions; Juliana Wilson DO, a post-doctoral scholar in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Christine DeSanno DO, a resident in the UB Department of Emergency Medicine.

TuneIn Radio has just released an update to its streaming radio service that lets users quickly find and purchase the music they're listening to in Google Play. The app has simply added a Google Play icon to the action bar between the share and search buttons, and tapping it brings you to a pre-populated search page in Google Play where you can purchase the track being played. Presumably the button doesn't show up when it can't find a match for the music (it doensn't show up on talk radio, for example), but in our few tests it always returned results.
The update is available for both free and paid versions of TuneIn, and is certainly one to update right away if you find yourself trying to remember and search for music to buy later. You can grab the free version from the Play Store link at the top of this post, and the $4.99 paid version right here as well.

Some highlights of NBC's moves in its schedule for next season, released on Sunday.
WHAT'S NEW: A lot. The long-struggling network invested heavily in new programming, and has ordered 17 new series for next season. John Malkovich as Blackbeard. James Spader as a wanted fugitive. Dracula brought to life. A cops drama from the guy who made "Law & Order." More supernatural stuff from J.J. Abrams. A cooking show. A quiz show. A home renovation show. If a couple of these make an impression on viewers, NBC will be thrilled.
WHAT'S GONE: The newsmagazine "Rock Center," in a move sure to cause bad blood between NBC's news and entertainment divisions. Matthew Perry's star vehicle "Go On," failing to recreate that "Friends" magic. And about two dozen other sitcoms you never watched.
LIFE SUPPORT: The serial killer drama "Hannibal" has terrible ratings, but NBC had such high hopes for it this spring that executives can't bear to pull the plug. Maybe it's their livers on the line.
STAR POWER: Michael J. Fox is a beloved sitcom actor, respected even more for his dignity in handling Parkinson's Disease. Now he's essentially turning those real-life experiences into a sitcom, where he will play a sportscaster going back to work. Interestingly, NBC gave Sean Hayes a more prominent spot on a Thursday night schedule geared to broad-appeal comedies, perhaps so Fox won't feel the pressure to save the network.
WHAT THEY NEED: Somebody to save the network.
BIG MOVE: "Revolution" to Wednesday nights, where it will no longer have the advantage of a big audience tuning in for "The Voice." ''Chicago Fire" moves to Tuesday. Moving successful shows to new nights is always risky, perhaps even more so for programs at an early stage in their development.

Trading on Wall Street is basically a huge game of poke,r and it would be kind of hard to bluff or cover your strategy if Bloomberg reporters were watching your Bloomberg terminal to track your every move. So you'd assume said reporters wouldn't abuse their corporate affiliation like that, because it would be shady and weird. That assumption would be wrong.
Goldman Sachs officials called Bloomberg LP out this week, according to the New York Post, when they realized that reporters from Bloomberg News had been monitoring activity on traders' terminal accounts. The terminals, which cost more than $20,000 a year, are a ubiquitous resource across banks and trading firms with about 315,000 subscribers. Reporters did not have extensive private access, but could see when a trader logged on to a terminal and checked things like bond trades or equities indices. Goldman basically took the position that they weren't trying to be paranoid, but it really wasn't okay for a Bloomberg reporter to ask if someone had been fired based on the fact that there was no recent activity on his/her terminal account.
Bloomberg issued a statement saying that the whole thing had been a mistake, and that reporters would no longer have access to the information, but it seems that the "mistake" has been going on for years, and that it was one form of leverage Bloomberg News used to gain traction during its early days. Outside of Wall Street, the Federal Reserve is investigating whether the tactic was used on its regulators. The New York Times explained:
Bloomberg reporters used the ?Z function? ? a command using the letter Z and a company?s name ? to view a list of subscribers at a firm. Then, a Bloomberg user could click on a subscriber?s name, which would take the user to a function called UUID. The UUID function then provided background on an individual subscriber, including contact information, when the subscriber had last logged on, chat information between subscribers and customer service representatives, and weekly statistics on how often they used a particular function. A company spokesman said both of those functions had been disabled in the newsroom.
At this point it pretty much seems like the behavior was legal, but it's certainly not ideal and is definitely corrosive in terms of faith that any part of Bloomberg can be trusted to keep private information separate from Bloomberg News. Competing wire service Thomson Reuters, which also has a financial data service meant to rival Bloomberg terminals, took the opportunity to note that its news division operates independently and is never given the opportunity to read other peoples' diaries.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? Turkey's prime minister vowed Sunday his country won't be drawn into Syria's civil war, despite twin car bombings the government believes were carried out by a group of Turks with close ties to pro-government groups in Syria.
The bombings left 46 people dead and marked the biggest incident of violence across the border since the start of Syria's bloody civil war, raising fears of Turkey being pulled deeper into a conflict that threatens to destabilize the region.
Syria has rejected allegations it was behind the attacks. But Turkish authorities said Sunday they had detained nine Turkish citizens with links to the Syrian intelligence agency in connection with the bombings in the border town of Reyhanli, a hub for Syrian refugees and rebels just across from Syria's Idlib province.
Harsh accusations have flown between Turkey and Syria, signaling a sharp escalation of already high tensions between the two former allies. But Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested that Turkey would not be drawn militarily in retaliation.
He insisted Turkey would "maintain our extreme cool-headedness in the face of efforts and provocations to drag us into the bloody quagmire."
"Those who target Turkey will be held to account sooner or later," he said. "Great states retaliate more powerfully, but when the time is right... We are taking our steps in a coolheaded manner."
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters in Berlin those detained were linked to a Marxist terrorist group.
Sabah, a Turkish newspaper close to the government, reported Sunday that authorities suspect the leader of a former Marxist group, Mirhac Ural, now believed to be based in Syria, may have revived his group and ordered the attack.
The group, Acilciler, was one of many Marxist groups active in Turkey through the 1970s and 1980s, and was long-rumored to have been formed by the Syrian intelligence agency. Many of its militants allegedly included ethnic Arab Turks belonging to a sect close to Syria's Alawites.
"Some believe that now that relations (with Turkey) have deteriorated again, Syria may have reactivated the group to cause turmoil in Turkey," said Nihat Ali Ozcan, a terrorism expert at the Ankara-based Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey. ?
Guler said a ringleader was among those detained, and more arrests were expected.
"We have determined that some of them were involved in the planning, in the exploration and in the hiding of the vehicles," he said.
Saturday's twin bombings 15 minutes apart damaged some 735 businesses and 120 apartments, leaving smoking hulks of buildings and charred cars. It also wounded dozens of people, including 50 who remained hospitalized Sunday.
Syria and Turkey became adversaries early on during the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad that erupted in March 2011. Since then, Turkey has firmly sided with the Syrian opposition, hosting its leaders along with rebel commanders and providing refuge to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees.
Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said the aim of the attack was to stoke tensions between Turks and Syrian refugees. The town is home to members of Turkey's Arab Alevi community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, while many of the refugees who have fled Syria are Sunni.
On Sunday, hundreds of people marched in the city of Antakya, near Reyhanli, protesting the government for its Syria policies and support for the rebels ? which some believe has exacerbated the conflict in Syria. Turks in Hatay, the southern province where the town is located, complain that the rebels roam freely, disrupting calm in Turkey's border regions.
Witnesses said they saw Turks attacking Syrian registered cars in Reyhanli soon after Saturday's attack and some Syrians avoided going out in the streets. Erdogan asked citizens in Reyhanli to remain calm and not "fall for the provocations."
"The prime minister brought this on to us," said a business owner, who asked to be identified only by his first name, Mehmet. "We have no peace anymore. The Syrians are coming in and out, and we don't know if they are bringing in explosives, taking out arms."
Authorities had so far identified 35 of the dead, three of them as Syrians. Families began burying their loved ones in funerals on Sunday.
Earlier in Damascus, Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi rejected Turkey's charges, saying that "Syria didn't and will never undertake such acts because our values don't allow us to do this."
He accused Turkey of destabilizing the border areas between the two countries by supporting the rebels, who the regime has labeled terrorists.
"They turned houses of civilian Turks, their farms, their property into a center and passageway for terrorist groups from all over the world," Al-Zoubi said. "They facilitated and still are the passage of weapons and explosives and money and murders to Syria."
Al-Zoubi also branded Erdogan a "killer and a butcher," adding that the Turkish leader "has no right to build his glory on the blood of the Turkish and Syrian people."
Tensions had earlier flared between the Syrian regime and Turkey after shells fired from Syria landed on the Turkish side, killing five Turks, and prompting Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S. to send two batteries of Patriot air defense missiles each to protect their NATO ally.
Davutoglu said his country would hold those responsible for the bombings but had no immediate plans to involve its NATO allies.
The attacks come just a little over a week after Israel escalated its role in the Syria conflict by striking suspected shipments of advanced Iranian weapons in Syria.
Erdogan is flying to the U.S. for talks with President Barack Obama next week. In the wake of the car bombs, both men could come under greater pressure to take action.
"It comes down to an existential struggle," said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha center. "Those who oppose Assad really have to show that they mean it now."
The U.S. has provided humanitarian aid to the Syrian opposition, but has been reluctant to provide military aid, in part because al-Qaida-linked militants are becoming increasingly influential in the armed opposition.
Last week, Erdogan alleged that Syria has been using chemical weapons, delivering them on at least 200 missiles, though he provided no evidence. Syria has denied using chemical weapons.
Obama has portrayed the use of chemicals by the regime as a "red line" that would have harsh consequences, but has said he needs more time to investigate allegations.
In another potentially destabilizing element, Israel signaled last week that it will keep striking at shipments of advanced Iranian weapons that might be bound for Hezbollah. Syria has traditionally be a conduit for Iranian weapons to Hezbollah.
Earlier this month, Israel struck twice at what Israeli officials said were shipments of advanced Iranian missiles near Damascus. In response, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said this week that Syria is expected to deliver "game-changing" weapons to his militia. If more than empty rhetoric, this would likely provoke more Israeli strikes.

- I cannot have a girlfriend that will cost me more than 5000 per month
- I cannot go anywhere without my wife ending up knowing about it.
- My wife knows all my past relationships (she once joked to my sister that she knows who to suspect can bring a love child)
- All intimate topics are open for discussion.
It looks good to me because we end up getting closer and she feels safer to take risks with me even when she is not sure about the outcome (from experience)
What is your experience? Is this a safe strategy in this culture?

According to Nairaland 1st Class Celebrity Okiki_Oluwa, 'Open communication is a tool that straightens relationships'. It's very vital to a successful marriage.
Absolute crap its like deliberately sticking your neck out to be beheaded. Marriage by itself has given women more advantage, which one be open communication again? am not saying cheat! Or commit adultery, But woman and men are not wired the same way and will not reason on the same line of thought, you will find out that 99 % of decisions taken in these types of marriages are women inclined, its the delilah tactics, then when a minor misunderstanding occurs of 25 years in the marriage the men will commit suicide, because weather you like it or not, no matter how long it takes there will be misrep or misunderstanding somehow some way along the line, then you would have been checkmated.
wen i don marry i go answer that question. I m still single ok.

i dont cost anything.
thanks.
I don't know why it's usually the woman who pushes for an open (relationship) communication? Is it because its not too easy for a woman to have an affair without becoming emotionally involved, which will eventually become so obvious to her partner hence 'lets be open'? A man can have an 'ethical' affair without being emotionally involved and where his wife and family's interests would be carefully shielded.

Noted and very vital
Open o or no open communication, there are things I will never discuss with my wife at home. Official businesses and documents must be kept out of marriage.
Open communication is a situation where a couple is free to discuss all aspects of their relationship including finance, relatives, friends, work, intentions, advances from opposite sex and desires.
While open marriage encompasses the above and having any one of the couple be intimate with a 3rd party so far the partner is informed.
Some may find open communication too extreme and embarrassing while others may find it reassuring and safe.
So, be it open or secret communication...COMMUNICATION is one of the major foundations to stable relationships.
PLease nairanders, a word of advice - Some information are better not opened up in marriages especially if there is no request for it. Example, you've been living happily with your spouse for 5 years and suddenly your new neighbor turns out to be your ex, you don't throw it up that you banged together for years before your marriage.
Communication in marriage should not be open rather guided by common sense. But please always be truthful to your spouse.
