As a UT fan, I hate to see a good man like Dooley lose his job, but his time has come in Knoxville. The idea that Petrino would be a good replacement sickens me. The man may win football games, but he has no moral center. His record speaks for itself. Flying from Louisville to Auburn while in mid-season, leaving a sticky note as a good-bye present to the Falcons, and then the affair ridden, con job in Arkansas all add up to someone I would not trust recruiting my son to play ball. If ethics mean nothing, I would prefer Jim Tressel and that is laughable considering the show cause issues. The fact is, integrity has to be a staple of the job at UT considering the circus over the past few years. Petrino is definitely not the man. Gruden is a fantasy for some, but doubtful. Realistic targets would be Charlie Strong or Kirby Smart. Defensive issues plague the Vols and it will take a defensive mind to right that ship.
in case you haven't noticed, we're reaping the benefits of prizing the staple of integrity over competence. does anybody in knoxville feel cleaner?
@sojourner I believe integrity and competence can be found in the same person. We lowered our standards of integrity with the Kiffin/Orgeron experiment and look what that produced? NCAA investigations and a cloud over the program that most kids and coaches would avoid. Hamilton hired who he could at the 11th hour (which was not a smart move by him, could have been his only recourse given the situation). Regardless, here we are, three years later, with a mediocre team, a diminished national standing, yet we still have some talented young men. The right leadership can do better than what we have seen lately and we dont have to compromise an ethical idea to get the right person.
you're missing my point. i don't deny that competence and integrity can inhabit the same person (pat summitt for example), but some people have made a fetish out of integrity to the point that it is supposed to excuse the most obvious ineptness. that has been the fall back position whenever somebody pointed out that dooley had zip for qualifications other than his last name. "oh, but he's doing it the RIGHT WAY". truth is, he was doing squat, regardless of how many merit badges he had in his closet. the undeniable truth is that when it comes to things like attendance, t.v. ratings, general respect, and championships, a rogue like saban or petrino beats the likes of 'dudley do-right' dooley every time.

Plantae; Spermatophyta, Angiospermae - Flowering Plants; Dicotyledonae; Lamiidae / Tubiflorae; Scrophulariales; Scrophulariaceae - Snapdragon Family
Original proving
Proved in 1993 by Riley on 17 persons
Description of the substance
The Common Speedwell is a native of the Old World, but is abundantly naturalized in the eastern United States, where it grows in open, grassy places.
In this country, it is generally found on heaths, moors, dry hedgebanks and in coppices, where it is very common and generally distributed.
---Description---The plant is a perennial, of a prostrate habit, with ascending branches, bearing erect, spike-like clusters of blue flowers, the stems 3 to 18 inches long, varying very much in length according to soil. The leaves are opposite, shortly stalked, generally about an inch long, oval and attenuated into their foot-stalks, their margins finely toothed. The flowers are in dense, axillary, manyflowered racemes, 1 1/2 to 6 inches long, the individual flowers nearly stalkless on the main flower-stalk, their corollas only 1/6 inch across, pale blue with dark blue stripes and bearing two stamens with a very long style. The capsule is inversely heart-shaped and notched, longer than the oblong, narrow sepals. The plant is of a dull green and is generally slightly hairy, having short hairs, sometimes smooth.
The fresh herb is faintly aromatic. After drying, it is inodorous. It has a bitterish, warm, and somewhat astringent taste.
---Constituents---Enz found a bitter principle, soluble in water and alcohol, but scarcely so in ether, and precipitated by the salts of lead, but not by tannic acid; an acrid principle; red colouring matter, a variety of tannic acid, producing a green colour with ferric salts; a crystallizable, fatty acid, with malic, tartaric, citric, acetic and lactic acids; mannite; a soft, dark green bitter resin.
Mayer, of New York (in 1863), found evidences of an alkaloid and of a saponaceous principle. Vintilesco (1910) found a glucoside both in this species and in Veronica chamaedrys.

American Roots: Music of the Moravians
At the time of the American War of Independence, the most sophisticated music making in America, by European standards, was unquestionably in the Moravian enclaves in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Salem, North Carolina. The Moravians were passionate about music. Besides being fully accomplished in the performance of music of European masters such as Haydn, they composed and performed beautiful and sophisticated pieces in that style that astonished Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.
In addition to fine works for strings and anthems for choirs, you will enchanted by the unique Moravian tradition of the trombone choir, under the direction of Dr. Nathaniel Brickens.
La Follia's first concert exploring American music from the time of the Revolution won an Austin Chronicle award for one of the top 10 Classical Music treasures in 2012. We promise this installment to be equally amazing.

It Just Makes Sense
By Tym Yee | Thursday | 01/08/2013
Over the past few years we've been keeping a watchful eye on Hisense; a brand that seems to have secured itself as a very viable option for those looking for new consumer electronics. What some people may not know is that the manufacturer also offers Australian homes a selection of sleek appliances that provide established brands some serious competition.

This is the kind of issue that so clearly articulates the mission of Social Policy that it makes us all proud to put our shoulder to this wheel. From one article to the next, you will find passion, argument, analysis, policy, and advocacy. Tell me that's not exactly what we are all hoping for when we crack the cover of a new issue!
The lead piece by Brian Johns and Ellen Ryan of Virginia Organizing stands up for community organizing in the best sense and calls out, ok, maybe even shames, the codependency that has now mutated the relationships between idealistic organizations and their funders and general contractors among unions and D.C. based nonprofits into work that at its narrowest is now becoming transactional, rather than transformative. With any luck organizers are going to be discussing among themselves and debating the themes raised in this essay and speaking truth to power, as Virginia Organizing was willing to do, to their funders and handlers. And what is the water in Virginia these days, because we are fortunate to have a look as well at why Virginia is such a battleground politically, in a piece by veteran organizer Jon Liss and his co-author, Steve McClure.
Rand Wilson is also experienced in the labor world and offers the challenging argument that we need a coalition of the willing – and able – to go after state legislators in order to attack frontally employment "at will" and win workers real job security as a matter of statute, not just from the good fortune of stumbling into a job with a union contract. It will be interesting to see who answers the call. Similarly, David Bacon in an excerpt from his most recent book turns some of the arguments made by opponents of immigration reform upside down by making the case that the economic policies of the United States are forcing immigration here, and that people want the right to stay and work at home.
While we are looking at policies that are at crosscurrents, Bowdoin Professor Emeritus Daniel Rossides, whom we have come to rely on for an annual piece, goes chapter and verse through arguments of America's "exceptionalism," punching holes in each, systematically and vigorously. Perhaps more quietly, but as devastatingly, Morgan State's Banigo and Wilson offer a cold, crisp analysis of the Multi-Ethnic Placement Act (MEPA) affecting adoptions, and mince no words in making the case that the years have not been kind, it has not worked, and it needs amendment, which they offer as well.
Drummond Pike opens with an overview of the economic situation in the country and the role of the dominant militarily controlled super-companies, and the odd silence still about their operations. Mike Orders, a veteran of the Thai-Burma border area where he has long represented his union, BCGEU, looks at the rapidly fluctuating political scene. Jay Hessey, an ACORN and SEIU veteran, is now living and working on the border and shares how these changes are also impacting the longstanding camps. Scott Nunn looks at community organizing, and shares our hopes that the Myanmar Institute for Democracy (MID), may be the most encouraging sign of growing strength at the grassroots level for social change and empowerment. Joie Warnock with an assist from Orell Fitzsimmons shares the hope and Catch 22 nature of the current changes in labor law which are fueling organizing from a number of exciting local unions and federations we were able to meet in the industrial area of Yangon. William Dowdell reflects on our visit with almost 100 women workers in the textile industries on a Sunday, their one day off work, as they sought to learn everything they could to build their union and their future. Finally, Antoinette Eyth gives a comprehensive report on one of the bigger surprises we discovered, the story of the Chin people in the northern part of Burma and their many decades of struggle based on their poverty and their Christianity, both of which set them apart in the country. The photographs taken by Chaco Rathke tell their own story and give us all the feeling we were there together in the rapidly evolving Myanmar!
Changing gears, our old friend and faithful correspondent Mike Miller interviews Fred Hirsh and vividly gives us all some lessons "from the horse's mouth" on what it means to make change from the bottom and be the backbone of a local union. Indeed, as one of those interviewed says, we all need Fred Hirshs in our union! Phil Mattera's column looks at Walmart and its ability to squeeze every dime out of the public purse as well as the public. Noorin Ladhani shares a novel social media event involving the well-known Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki. John Anderson in his Northern Light column could not resist taking a look at Rob Ford, who as mayor of Toronto is almost single-handedly changing everyone's perception of the city, and argues that Ford is actually teaching more lessons to progressives about politics in the metropolitan city than he is offering hard-partying tips. Finally, I wonder why progressives are still not willing to learn the lessons of our polarized politics and "gotcha" media sources, prepare for James O'Keefe and his acolytes, and beat them at their own game.
You're going to love closing out 2013 with this issue from Social Policy, so here's to a great New Year!

The smoky sky above Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra that became noticeable on the evening of Tuesday, July 23, and into the morning of July 24 is due to a 2,000-plus-acre fire on the west side of the Sierra crest, north and west of Huntington Lake, near a SCE reservoir called Mammoth Pool Reservoir.
The nearest town is Huntington Lake.
The fire is almost directly 40 miles west of Aspendell, a small community west of Bishop (located on S.R. 168, the road to Sabrina Lake, South Lake and North Lake).
The last day for all Valentine Reserve talks is Aug. 2, and there is still some room left on the last two talks of the year:

Editor's note: This letter was sent to the MT on Monday, July 22, by local recycling expert and Mono County Solid Waste Task Force member Lisa Isaacs. Since we go to press after the meeting tomorrow night where the Town council may vote on a private property item related to this letter (votes on "property negotiations" are allowed in closed session, according to Town officials), Isaac's letter is printed here in full.

Music Festival offers piece of 1952 history
A rucksack used by Andrea Lawrence during her historic performance at the 1952 Winter Olympics has found its way to an auction.
Along with a hand painted violin from Lady Jill Mueller, which is signed by Dave McCoy, the rucksack is part of the Mammoth Lakes Music Festival fundraising drive.
The drive, which accompanies the three-week music festival, also offers other auction items, including a Hollywood Bowl package as well as a weekend stay at a Southern California beachfront house.
On the evening of Saturday, July 20, Mono County SheriffŌĆÖs Dispatch received an emergency call from a SPOT satellite device warning of an ill and/or injured hiker on the John Muir Trail.
The Mono County Sheriff Search and Rescue (SAR) team was dispatched to the area. A father, age 52, and son, age 22, from Clovis, CA, were backpacking from Lake Edison to Tuolumne Meadows when the father became ill and activated his emergency notification device.
Ken and Flossie Coulter step away from Jazz Jubilee
Two days after the last trumpet blew at the 2013 Mammoth Lakes Jazz Jubilee, Ken and Flossie Coulter were still at it.
"This morning I found a bass amplifier that someone forgot to take home," said Ken Coulter as he made his rounds through Sam's Woodsite ("The Holler") and the other venues that featured last weekend's 25th annual festival.
"You wouldn't believe how long it takes to wrap things up," he said.
Tourism expert proposes TBID for county, region
Mammoth and Mono County are making a mistake if they assume that the future lies mostly in skiing and snowboarding, according to a recent economic study commissioned by the county.
"Of the $646 billion that is generated in the country from outdoor recreation spending, only $6 billion comes from the ski and snowboard industry," said Carl Ribaudo, a consultant with Strategic Marketing Group.
Owner forecasts mid-February opening
Dan O'Connell walked across the dry, dusty parking lot on Chateau Road, popped through an entry way of his brand new Rock 'n' Bowl, and looked as if even he could not believe what he saw.
"It's real!" he said. "It's going to happen!"
O'Connell, 52, a Mammoth resident since 2009, this past week led a private tour around the two-story, 26,000-square-foot-structure.
It took a while.
Research with Major League Baseball over shattered bats
As the major league baseball season slides past the All-Star break, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced the results of research by the U.S. Forest Service, and funded by MLB, that will result in significantly fewer shattered baseball bats.
"This innovative research by the U.S. Forest Service will make baseball games safer for players and fans across the nation," said Vilsack in a news release.
Trails residents vent fears about 'stinky, ugly' recycling facility
The Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mono County have been at opposing sides of the garbage issue for a long time and last week, it was easy to see why.
A Town/County Liaison meeting on July 11 turned personal when Town Council member John Eastman took umbrage with a comment made by the county's new county administrative officer, Jim Leddy.
Official says new system must be tested first
Although there have been delays on some sections of the Digital 395 high speed broadband fiber installation project, a Suddenlink representative said Wednesday that vastly improved broadband speed for its customers is expected after the Digital 395 infrastructure is in place at the end of the month—but he could not give an exact date for the service.
Agreement will ensure enough water for Mammoth's projected final population
Mammoth Lakes will continue to have access to the amount of water from Mammoth Creek granted to it by the state for at least another century and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will get about $5.8 million in return after both sides reached an out-of-court settlement earlier this month.
Limited space is still available on these Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve Walks and Talks this week:

New finance director aims to continue belt tightening
The rest of the country might be pulling out of the Great Recession, but Mono County is still sitting tight, budget wise.
"It's flat," said the county's finance director, Leslie Chapman. "That's the best way I can describe it."
Fesko: 'We need to keep this momentum going'
The community of Bridgeport is hoping a proposed new visitor center can help it join the rest of the Eastern Sierra communities that have had to reinvent themselves in the past decade to survive—but first, it had to get past its own internal disagreements about the project.
New, stiffer state standards for arsenic in drinking water are putting the squeeze on small water districts
Arsenic in drinking water is undoubtably a bad thing.
How bad, though, depends on the amount of arsenic. Naturally occurring arsenic is common in small amounts in Eastern Sierra waters due to local geology.
In recent years, the state has set higher standards for arsenic in public drinking water systems, meaning less arsenic is allowed than before.
Elsewhere, red mother bear totals car in feeding rampage
A 19-month-old, black-on-black bear, described by Wildlife Specialist Steve Searles as "cute," could face the executioner unless people in Old Mammoth can figure out a way to stop his felonious behavior.
At the same time, a mother bear with two cubs is rapidly learning the art of vehicle break-ins near Canyon Lodge, where she and the youngsters totaled a "fairly new" car this past week after being trapped in it for about six hours.
Five priorities top policy list
After nearly three decades of reactive policy making, the Mammoth Lakes Town Council this past week attempted a turnaround.
In unusual back-to-back special meetings, the council on July 8 and July 9 began to set priorities in advance of policy decisions—a reversal of the past process whereby policies often were set in reaction to circumstances at the time, both in good times and in bad.
The boards of the City of Los Angeles' Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and Mammoth Community Water District (MCWD) reached a formal settlement this week, ending potentially costly litigation over water.
The agreement assures both LADWP and MCWD of water from Mammoth Creek and the Owens River, while providing funds for collaborative water conservation opportunities in the region, both agencies announced in a news release.
Jacob Pellegrini, 29, Mammoth Lakes, was arrested on the morning of Wednesday, July 10, for having what law enforcement officials called a "full marijuana lab" in his home, according to the Mono County Sheriff's Department officials.
He was arrested on for sales and possession for sales, cultivation, and chemical production of concentrated cannabis, according to law enforcement officials.

Article Comments - 2009 Subaru Forester XT First Drive and Full Test
henrylw Posts: 1"...the torque split for the AWD system constantly varies according to acceleration, deceleration and wheel slip, and as much as 100 percent of power can be directed to the wheels with the most grip."
This is not correct. I sent an email to Subaru asking the questions about the torque split, and got reply from them as below:
Thank you for contacting Subaru Canada, Inc.
The Forester does not have a Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) centre differential. For the 2009 model year, the Forester 2.5XT includes a Multi-plate Transfer (MPT) System that adjusts torque from 60/40 (F/R) to 50/50 (or anywhere in-between) depending on throttle input, road conditions and input from the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) System. VDC operates like most electronic stability control (ESC) systems in that it can adjust engine output, adjust individual brake pressure and even front rear torque distribution to retain/regain vehicle stability.
It is not possible for the system defeat the role of the centre differential and thus torque output will always be split between the front and rear differential. Meaning, the system cannot direct 100% of power to a single wheel - whether it be with VTD or MPT.
We trust this information is helpful.

Yeah, I don't think that's correct.
The FWD fuse disengages the rear axle completely, so 100/0 is possible.
I think people mis-use the term 50/50. I think a lot of people mean the two axles are locked when they say that.
Example with a viscous coupling:
Let's say the front axle is on ice. At first the front wheels slip, but then the VC locks the two axles together, and the power is transmitted to the rear axle.
If the two axles are truly locked together, the fact is the front axle is really getting no power at all, or perhaps only enough to overcome the inertia needed to spin the front tires at the same speed as the rears.
So locked is not the same as 50/50. Locked means the power will go to whichever axle has grip.
I think that's what they mean when they say "50/50".
I think i'd agree with 100% of the review. Forester owners are a little bit of a sect, not quite a cult. Yes, we are dog lovers (among other animals), hikers, skiers, cyclist.
I just got a 2010 XT limited loaded, it is so nice. Bigger, makes it easier to get in and out as i get older. The exterior styling looks better than my 2000 forester, for which i _am_ thankful. But i agree the styling is not what draws me to the car.
Hitting pouring rain while doing 75-80mph in western interstates- the forester has been stable as a ROCK. The all time AWD is something i was not sure i needed at first, but now i refuse to consider a car without it. When my wife replaced her Camry and went upscale, we got the x version of the G35 because of my experience with AWD in the forester. After her first Chicago winter with AWD (the G35x has a particularly nice version IMHO), she'll never be without it.
As a cleaned out my old 2000 to trade it in, no more junk in it (tow rope, rescue equipment etc), it was the lightest it had ever been. I had no accessories on the L model, the car was as light as it could be. With 1/4 tank of gas, I ran the 5 speed up to the red-line on the tollway on ramp, i realised i had forgotten how quick the little old car was. I was over 100 by the time i merged into traffic lanes when i slowed to blend with the traffic going 80-85 . What a nice last memory of the old car.
Then, i get into the new XT. I can see where it is not as cat quick as the WRX. For me, that's probably good. I would drive too fast. Keeping the revs low for the first few hundred miles is going to be hard. But it will be worth it. The interior is more utilitarian than my wife's loaded G35x, but the finish is at least 95% as nice. Awesome blend of luxury, utility, capability. I looked at the EX35, even drove it for half a day. Nice car, but the Forester XT fits my needs better. (Having a second, nicer car obviates the desire to get a status brand, but i'd have still selected the Forester XT anyway)
I drive on business a lot, and we'll take the bigger and higher ground clearance Subaru on vacation to northern Minnesota (in winter) with the whole family. I trust Subaru with my family's safety and my meeting my clients deadlines. I can't give any better recommendation than that. The Subaru meshes with the college prof as well.
Subaru are consistently, conscientiously committed to refining the Forester, and the sales numbers reflect this. They know their clients very well, something i strive to emulate. This is the best of the Japanese business ethos actualized.
My only regret with regards to Subaru, is that I wish the would get into the small aircraft business, making them with the qualities they put in their cars. They would be awesome to fly!
I really like the comments on the acceleration and braking- there are more dimensions than a single number to these actions, and this really tells the story. Very very nice reporting. True professionalism.
The 2010XT is great. A 5 speed auto would be a welcome addition, and a little more lateral grip too, but given the off-road capabilities, it's an excellent synergy. Schaumburg Subaru cut me a good deal despite the craziness of the clunker program going on. Really a class act from manufacturer to Sales, to final product.
204meca Posts: 366Kurt & Juice:
I did not know Subaru has a "FWD option"! :surprise: Is that true of all Subies - sticks & automatics?
Lets say I am driving on I 94 through Eastern Montana, S Dakota & Minnesota in the summer -- basically 1000 miles of relatively flat, dry straight concrete ribbon. If I install a fuse to defeat the AWD & am in FWD only, will that reduce the mechanical load / friction / drag resulting in a signifcant (may 10% increase in mpg as wild guess)? So could I have FWD much of the time & simply pull the fuse when AWD traction is desired?
Not all - you only have the "insert FWD Fuse" option on the base AWD models with automatic. So not on models with VTD AWD and also not with the viscous coupling manual trans models.
It's really meant for part-time use when you get a flat tire.
It would be hard to know the long-term effects of disengaging the rear axle from the front because it is meant to have torque transmitted there full-time. Who knows if all those parts will be properly lubricated under loads.
Also, you won't get 10%. Yes there is more drag, but you carry the extra weight regardless of whether it's on or off. I bet you'll see more like 3-5%, if that.

Based on the crappy Pats WR's, BAMA would have and edge on defense. pats "O" stinks
The Playbook: Previewing Saints-Pats, Packers-Ravens, more Week 6 games
Chris Burke and Doug Farrar get you ready for the weekend with The Playbook, a detailed weekly preview that gives you everything you need to know about the upcoming slate of games.
Main Events
New Orleans (5-0) at New England (4-1) — 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX: If you hypothesized before the season that the Saints defense would have the edge over New England's offense in this game, you'd have received some funny looks. But that's where we are now. Tom Brady is dealing with injuries and attrition all along his receiver corps, and the formerly historically porous Saints defense has been a revelation since switching coordinators from Steve Spagnuolo to Rob Ryan. Brady currently ranks 19th in Football Outsiders' DYAR (season-cumulative) efficiency metric, the lowest mark of his career, and the Saints are teeing off on their opponents. Ryan, who worked as New England's linebackers coach from 2000 through '03, has always had a way of getting to Brady with his schemes. Last time, it was Ryan's Dallas Cowboys against the Pats in 2011, and Brady countered with constant no-huddle to keep Ryan's weird blitzes off the field. The problem now is that Brady's own receivers may need the time between snaps to get their bearings and remember what they're supposed to do.
FARRAR: Rob Ryan's big blitzes key Saints' defensive revival
Meanwhile, there's the always efficient Drew Brees, who is reunited with Sean Payton and has an interesting history of absolutely waxing New England's defense when he faces it. In three career games against the Pats, Brees has completed 47 passes in 65 attempts for 723 yards, eight touchdowns and no picks. He has a higher quarterback rating (148.3) against New England than against any other team. Small sample size? Yes. Different personnel? Sure. And the Pats' defense has played very well this season for the most part. But if Brees gets a head of steam going at Gillette Stadium and the seemingly unstoppable Jimmy Graham goes on a roll, watch out. Brady's team as currently constructed isn't ready for a shoot-out, and that's true even if Rob Gronkowski is finally able to make his 2013 season debut.
Payton wouldn't bite, however, when asked this week if Brady will be an easier matchup than in years past.
"You see everything you've seen prior, you see the arm strength, you see the will to win, you see the competitive drive, you see all those things," the Saints coach said. "I think just like we are a work in progress each week, we're trying to improve, we feel like we tell our players we're in a race to get better. It's either that or you're going in the other direction, and I'm sure they're working hard to improve in the areas they feel like they need to just like we are."
The issue for the Patriots is the Saints are much further along in their progression. – Doug Farrar
Green Bay (2-2) at Baltimore (3-2) — 1 p.m. ET, FOX: Can the Packers shuck their early-season trend? Their first four games have played out like this: loss on the road, win at home, loss on the road, win at home. This is, obviously, a road game, so Green Bay has to get off the schneid away from Lambeau Field if it's to avoid dropping back below .500.
It's hard to say which Baltimore team will be awaiting the Packers' arrival. The defending champs' last home game, in Week 3 versus Houston, was a blowout victory, paced by stellar defensive and special-teams play. But the Ravens have been tough to pin down in two road games since, losing to Buffalo in a game that saw Joe Flacco throw 50 times before winning at Miami behind 27 rush attempts and a pair of touchdowns from Ray Rice.
There may be more openings through the air than on the ground against Green Bay. That said, both aspects of the Packers' defense will be stunted some by the absence of linebacker Clay Matthews, who is expected to miss at least a month with a broken thumb. Green Bay went 3-1 without Matthews last season, but it will take a complete effort to make up for his loss again.
The Ravens' secondary may be the unit that's really in the spotlight. It has not faced a wide-open attack since Week 1, when Peyton Manning threw for 445 yards in a convincing 49-27 win. Baltimore has stiffened considerably against the pass since then, but slowing Aaron Rodgers and his arsenal of weapons will be a substantial challenge.
For all the early season hand-wringing in Green Bay and Baltimore, the teams are in decent shape to make matching runs. The Packers, with a critical win over Detroit last Sunday, pulled within a half-game of first in the NFC North (now a full game with the Bears' win Thursday night); the Ravens are tied atop the wide open AFC North, sharing the division lead with Cleveland and Cincinnati.
For Green Bay to keep spinning its momentum forward, though, it will need to break its brief road losing streak … while ending Baltimore's run of four straight wins at home, dating to last season. — Chris Burke
Jacksonville (0-5) at Denver (5-0) — 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS: The line for this game had Denver as a 27-point favorite as of Thursday morning. In just about any other matchup, this game would be ripe for a Broncos letdown — coming off an emotional win in Dallas, expected to roll at home. However, the Jaguars hardly look capable of keeping pace.
Even the Broncos' official Twitter feed pointed out the obvious: Jacksonville's offense (51 points in five games) is no match for Denver's Peyton Manning-led attack (51 points in Week 5, 46 points per game overall). Chad Henne will get the nod as Jacksonville's QB with Blaine Gabbert injured. Henne has made 10 starts and won just one game over the past three seasons.
The Jaguars did wake up on offense in a Week 5 loss to St. Louis, mainly thanks to Justin Blackmon's return from suspension. He took his first reception of the season to the house and finished with 136 yards. Maurice Jones-Drew also showed signs of life, rushing for a season-high 70 yards.
Denver's defense, up until a late interception by Danny Trevathan, looked mighty vulnerable against Dallas last week. But the return of cornerback Champ Bailey should help, even though Von Miller's still serving his suspension and both Robert Ayers and Wesley Woodyard have missed practice this week.
Will it matter, though, if the Broncos cough up some points? Maybe to bettors, but the lowest output for Manning's offense this season? Thirty-seven points, in a Week 3 win over Oakland. It's hard to envision any team, let alone the 0-5 Jaguars, keeping the Broncos totally in check for 60 minutes. Jacksonville's defense is the worst in the league against the run, too, so the revitalized Knowshon Moreno might be set up for a monster afternoon. – CB
Tennessee (3-2) at Seattle (4-1) — 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS: Last Sunday, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick made his first start for the Titans in place of the injured Jake Locker. He did so against Kansas City's amazing defense, and the results were surprisingly decent — Fitzpatrick completed 21-of-41 passes for 247 yards, two touchdowns and two picks in a 26-17 loss. Not world-beating numbers by any stretch, but not bad for a physically limited guy against a clamp-down defense. And, he rebounded nicely after completing just five passes in 14 attempts for 31 yards in the first half. Plus, Fitzpatrick completed a zero-yard pass to himself, which is nice.
What's not so nice for Fitzpatrick is he now has to travel to Seattle's CenturyLink Field to face a Seahawks defense feeling raw about several blown coverages against the Colts last weekend. Andrew Luck picked the Legion of Boom apart late in Indy's 34-28 win with a series of route combos that took the Seahawks away from their preferred press coverage and had them playing some passive zone stuff instead.
"We're not backing off," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said of his defense Monday. "I tried to make the point that … they didn't want to hear it, how good [the Colts] are. They have really, really good players, and good receivers and a great quarterback, and it took them until the fourth quarter…. Our guys, they will be up for the next challenge for sure."
The Titans offer no such challenges for Seattle's defense. Kenny Britt has been MIA all season, and Tennessee has just 10 pass plays of 20 yards or more this season — the Titans have allowed 17. Chris Johnson is averaging 3.2 yards per carry. Where they may be able to pull this game out is on defense. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams (remember him?) is running his usual Pandora's box of schemes, blitzes and fronts, and Seattle's offensive line has been a relative pushover all season. Marshawn Lynch broke 100 yards for the first time all season against the Colts, though Seattle converted just 2-of-12 third-down chances at Lucas Oil Stadium. Russell Wilson is used to running for his life, and he's done a great job of it this season, but the Seahawks need more conversion plays at some point. The Titans also have Alterraun Verner, who is absolutely the NFL's most underrated cornerback. Seattle should win this one, but don't look at Fitapatrick as a starter and assume that it will be a gimme. – DF
Six rings.
Steelers start a 10-2 run starting tomorrow!
You're jealous?
Saints 45 Patriots 10 It will be gut wrenching for us Pats fans, but it is the reality of this season.
Drew Brees highest QB ratings have come against New England Patriots. It will be fun to watch him work his magic again this sunday. Saints 34 - Patriots 17
I am not surprised the media did not cover the Ravens and Green match up the way they always do mainly with the Ravens, The Packers are not looking too good ,they are not winning the way the media expected to, so GreenBay gets the cold shoulder, but they still pick GREENBAY. What do Baltimore have to do to get RESPECT in this here NFL and the fans from elsewhere? All we do is win I thought winning was the corner stone of Greatness , We are a great team with great fans with great players but still never get RESPECT. We win the Superbowl no respect . we are playing way better then GreenBay they cannot and will not beat us in our house.Look at our record? It speaks for itself. anything we do is not good for ANYBODY MAINLY THE media. We are tired fans listing to people talk real bad about us mainly going back to the RayLewis error that is not right. there are teams we do noy like we make our opinions that is fair but to hate the Ravens ?you are wrong it hurts me to think the world of sports fans hate us I am sorry I have written this long but I am hurting so you know All Ravens are hurting. in closing Thanks for hearing my comments to you Ravens fans (Ravens on one ) RAVENS
In all of sports, not one mention of Frontlines TV show? Thats plain embarrassing!
Can you say Gronk! Again,,,,,,,,Again,,,,,,,,,
Some fan you are, completely ignoring the Patriots' home record. Patriots always have a chance at home. If the game was in NO it might end that way, however.
@BernardMcDaniels if the ravens make the playoffs this year it's due to a watered down afc
@BernardMcDaniels 3-2 is not 5-0 so umm you don't win all the time. When you lose its way ugly beat downs or teams you should have beaten. When you win its squeakers over teams you should crush . No respect? None earned. Superbowl? Your QB gets the MVP and you sign him to elite dollars and you way overpaid.. so If you want people to talk about your team maybe you should be ready for the laughter.
@Rick in Huahin! , that was a good story. Its been repeating on pbs.
@TheSteelers @A1 You think the pats would score at least SEVEN on Cincy didn't you? Home record can go bye bye today with the sh*tty receivers Tom has and Gronk should just get cut as he is of no value

Naughty Monkey Beasty Boot 1 1
Runs small I've always worn naughty monkey boots so when I read the reviews about how these ran small I didn't believe them because all reviews ppl say there either to big or to small but I've always worn 8.5 in this brand and never had a problem... Until these ones! They really do run about a half to a full size to small depending on how you prefer yours to fit.. Also I was pretty disappointed because when I received them one of the buckles was broke so I had to use some super glue to fix them because these boots were all sold out and I wanted to make them work even with all the problems I've had with them. I just needed them for one specific outfit so my feet had to suffer a little but there cute so.... March 17, 2013

Lately, the UFC has been preying on their Hall of Fame like a team of rabid telemarketers relentlessly calling a retirement home to sell over-priced appliances to confused and lonely senior citizens. Why? Because bringing a legend out of retirement sells a lot of tickets. However, it isnt much different than giving your senile grandfather five bucks to pull his pants down and sing the national anthem on the corner, and then charging the neighborhood kids ten bucks each to watch it happen. I honestly felt bad for Royce Gracie after Matt Hughes gave him the prison shower rubdown and I still think the UFC rolled the dice with Ken Shamrocks life by letting him fight Tito Ortiz again and again like a confused zoo-keeper who keeps going into the gorilla cage despite suffering repeatedly dire consequences. Now the UFC has set the stage for what could be, potentially, the worst thing to happen in the octagon since Joe Son punched Keith Hackney in the nuts by matching Randy Couture against Tim Sylvia. Can the older, smaller, vastly more popular former champion defeat the larger, younger current champion, who just might be the most unpopular person in human history to wear a championship belt? Fans everywhere will be watching to find out; which is exactly what Zuffa wants.
Tim The Maine-i-ac Sylvia vs. Randy The Natural Couture
With the possible exception of Alabama, the entire world is hoping Couture will pull this one off. However, trying to take Sylvia down is like trying to tackle a gorilla that is standing on the shoulders of the two other gorillas, to make a gorilla pyramid, which is similar to a human pyramid, except its made out of gorillas. Also, the top gorilla has a garden rake in each hand, and its swinging them around like a bastard. Also the whole damn stack of gorillas is backing up, so you basically have to run at it like Sonic the Hedgehog if you want to get near it, and that is when your troubles begin. Couture has not done well against larger, younger opponents but, realistically, who has?
In the battle between younger and older, younger usually wins and, sadly, bigger has a size advantage over smaller. What does that leave? Smarter? Ill admit that Randy Couture would probably trounce Tim Sylvia in a game of Trivial Pursuit, but Ill remind you that The Maine-i-ac will likely have Pat Miletich or Jeremy Horn in his corner; which is akin to having a genius-level midget strapped on your back ala Master Blaster from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Will Couture be able to overcome these obstacles? The civilized world certainly hopes so. Unfortunately, I suspect that The Natural will catch a toaster-sized fist in the jaw while trying to box his way into an upper-body clinch and, sadly, Sylvia will win by TKO. Afterwards, unburdened by humility, Sylvia will say that Couture was a great champion but that he is even greater. This will not help his popularity. On the bright side, Couture will still have three fights left on his contract and will very likely face Cro Cop at some point. However, unfortunately, Cro Cop will probably knock him out as well.
Chris Lights Out Lytle vs. Matt Hughes
Superman doesnt go to the gym. Instead, he just sits around and uses his x-ray vision to scope out Lois Lanes fallopian tubes. Why? Because when you have super-powers, theres no need to spend a lot of time in sweaty weight-rooms. Similarly, word on the street is that Hughes never used to train much for his fights. He didnt have to because he was able to walk through most of his opponents like the son of Jor-El wading through a hailstorm of bullets. But then he ran into a bald genius with a master plan; Georges St. Pierre who, in the role of Lex Luthor, gave him the full on Kryptonite treatment and kicked his ass into the Phantom Zone. Now Chris Lytle, as Batman, takes his shot at the man of steel. Does he have the right tools on his utility belt? Maybe, but as everyone knows, Batman does not have superpowers. Also, bat-a-rangs are specifically forbidden inside the octagon. Therefore, Hughes will win by decision.
Drew McFedries vs. Martin Hitman KampmannUFC fans remember McFedries as the guy who out-boxed Alessio Sakara in a fight reminiscent of something youd see behind a convenience store at midnight. Kampann is from Denmark, so Im pretty sure that makes him a Danish; which is appropriate since I think that McFedries will eat him for breakfast and win by TKO.
Rich Ace Franklin vs. Jason The Athlete MacDonaldAnyone with an aspiring modeling career should stay the hell away from Rich Franklin. Evan Tanner looked like something out of Night of the Living Dead after his last waltz with Ace and David Loiseau left the octagon looking like he was suffering from a severe case of cranial elephantitis. Will The Athlete treat Franklin to a happy-meal of intense suffering at MacDonalds? Or will the former champ turn the Canadian into yet another Franklin-steins monster. My guess: Franklin by TKO
Jason Lambert vs. Renato Babalu SobralEvery time Babalu comes into the octagon his hair looks like something just exploded right beside his head. Will this have any effect on the fight? Absolutely not, but I have to write about something since this the outcome of this one seems pretty clear to me. Sobral has better striking, better takedowns and better submissions than Lambert. He also has much cooler and far more numerous tattoos. Sobral by decision.
Rex Holman vs. Matt The Hammer HamillWhen I was a kid, I had a dog named Rex. Also, the bully at my school was deaf. Every day hed push you around while shouting half-words you couldnt understand. It was terrifying. Worse, whenever you complained about it, the teachers would get mad and tell you to always be nice to the handicapped. So, every afternoon, he would chase me around like some scene from Planet of the Apes. One day, I came home and my Mom told me that my dog Rex had run away. Years later I found out that this was a lie and that Rex had been put to sleep because there was something wrong with his leg and the surgery to fix it was more expensive than the needle. Hamill by decision.
Jon Fitch vs. Luigi FioravantiLuigi will jump onto Fitchs head and crush him flat. Then he will kick him out of the octagon, sending him sliding off screen at ridiculous speed. Afterwards, he will run around the cage collecting enormous spinning coins while lousy electronic keyboard music plays and his brother Mario celebrates in his corner. No wait, thats the wrong Luigi. Sorry. Fitch by decision.
Gleison Tibau vs. Jason DentTibau has a loss to Anaconda Anaconda and a win over Anderson Bad Boy. Dent has beaten a guy named Kolo Koka. Bad Boy Anaconda Kola would be a terrible name for a soda pop. Dent by TKOJason The Gizzard Gilliam vs. Jamie The Worm VarnerThis is like the battle to decide who has the worst nickname on Earth. In one corner: The Worm: a spineless creature and/or contemptible person. In the other: The Gizzard: a thick-walled, muscular pouch in the lower stomach of many birds and reptiles that grinds food, often with the aid of ingested stones. Whats next? The Braying Ass? The Chain-Smoking Clown? The Creepy Grandmother? Actually, I think those names are better. Varner by decision.

Sheriff Lee Baca readies for final jail violence report
Grant Slater/KPCC
L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca conducts an inspection of Men's Central Jail in Downtown Los Angeles in this photo from December 2011.
Reporters caught up with Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca at the Fire Department's Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center Thursday, where Baca joined other L.A. leaders in announcing a large new Homeland Security grant for Southern California.
Naturally, questions turned to the impending release Friday of the Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence report, which is the culmination of several of investigations into claims of inmate abuse in Los Angeles County jails. Baca gave a bit of insight as to his thoughts on revelations of jail violence.
Baca on the commission:
"The commission was part of my planning with the board of supervisors. This is something I asked for. I have found that certain people testified about certain things and then when I asked others about the same thing, they had a different version of what occurred. So we've got some issues in that regard. But overall, I think the recommendations are designed to improve what we do."

Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.

Thousands of opinions on alcohol responsibility – Moderate consumption and teaching in the family are the most important (Translation)
7 August 2009
Budapest, 5th August 2009, - Nearly five thousand adults have participated in the online survey introduced at www.alkohol.info.hu. Dreher Breweries Ltd. has launched the survey in the frame of its Alcohol Responsibility Program started together with Gábor Talmácsi. The survey examined the opinion and attitudes of Hungary's adult population in connection with alcohol responsibility. From the answers it turns out that adults have concrete opinions and even more, solution suggestions in the issue affecting the whole society.
As the latest element of Dreher Breweries Ltd's Alcohol Responsibility Program, with the cooperation of Gábor Talmácsi, an opinion survey connected to alcohol consumption was introduced on the website http://www.alkohol.info.hu/ with the support of the National Association of Large Families.
The survey avoids the "on what occasions and how much alcohol do you consume" cycle of questions and, besides the individual interpretation of responsible consumption, it examines the opinions and suggestions for handling the social problems caused by excessive drinking.
The questionnaire was filled by nearly five thousand (4868) persons above the legal age limit; more than two thirds of the respondents were (67.7%) men and one third (32.3%) were women. 94% of the respondents were from the age group between 18 and 54.
8 of 10 respondents indicated the consumption of alcohol on meetings with family or friends at home or at catering units, at parties and on special occasions. More than half of the respondents said that they did not consume alcohol at all while watching TV (66%), or during meals (55%).
By the individual definition of responsible alcohol consumption the respondents highlighted the temperance, the occasional consumption and the knowledge of self-limits. There was no single opinion on defining the bottom limit of excessive alcohol consumption: 38% of the respondents indicated 4-5 drinks consumed within 2-3 hours (1 glass means 0.5 l beer, 0.2 l vine, 0.33 l cocktail, 0.2 l champagne or 4 cl spirit), while 37.5% indicated 6 or more drinks as the bottom limit of excessive alcohol consumption. However, 24% of women considered 2-3 glasses already as excessive alcohol consumption.
7 of 10 respondents (78%) deemed driving under alcoholic influence as the biggest problem. Violence and vandalism were indicated by 70% of respondents as well as the falling apart of families, which was considered by 6 of 10 respondents (67%) as a serious risk.
More than a half of the respondents (55%) considered the role of family teaching and showing example as a very effective method on working against irresponsible alcohol consumption. 4 of 10 respondents (44%) see the value of free-time activities and 30% of them see the keeping of underage legal regulations as being very effective as well.
The majority of respondents (37%) see the limitation of selling alcohol as an ineffective step taken against irresponsible alcohol consumption. 33% of them think that price increase is also in this category, as well as involvement of doctors, which is considered ineffective by 17% of the respondents.
"We are very happy that so many visitors filled in the questionnaire, as the high level of interest shows that people are touched by the topic and a social dialogue has started. Responsible attitude is fundamental to our lives and consuming alcoholic drinks with responsibility is an organic part of this responsible attitude" - said Gary Whitlie, Managing Director of Dreher Breweries. "We receive a lot of feedback and opinions that not only strengthen the success of our Program but give new dimensions and ideas for its continuation."
Among those who filled in the questionnaire, 3 trips to the August 16, 2009 Brno MotoGP race were drawn. The lucky ones who win can cheer for Gábor Talmácsi, who has been a partner and supporter of Dreher Breweries' Alcohol Responsibility Program from the beginning. The three winners receive 2-2 Gold VIP Dorna pass entry tickets that are good for the duration of the entire race, meaning admission to the VIP Village locations and contain a pit lane visit too.
"I have been an active participant of the Program from the beginning, and the big interest toward the initiative only confirmed my view that we do have to talk more and do have to talk louder about responsible behavior and the weight of our decisions. The results of the opinion survey and the fact that so many have filled in the questionnaire shows that the question of alcohol responsibility is important to many of us." - said Gábor Talmácsi.
Further details on the results of the survey can be found on http://www.alkohol.info.hu/
Alcohol Responsibility Program of Dreher Breweries:
Dreher Breweries launched its Alcohol Responsibility Program in cooperation with Gábor Talmácsi world champion motorcyclist in 2008. This January the Program's information sharing website, http://www.alkohol.info.hu/ was also launched and since then it has been visited by 77 thousand people. The website, which puts individual responsibility as a main focus, places much emphasis on giving information. Also, visitors can join in forums, ask their questions and share their opinion. A further specialty of the site is a body map that shows step by step what happens to the body when we drink alcohol.
As the latest element of the Alcohol Responsibility Program, in the summer of 2009 the highly popular http://www.alkohol.info.hu/ website was enriched with a new topic and an opinion survey. Under the "Topic of the Month" heading, the brewery raises a new topic each month in connection with responsible alcohol consumption. It is made complete by life scenes of Gábor Talmácsi, as well as video from an expert and visitors' comments. A further novelty of the Program is the survey connected to alcohol consumption, launched with the recommendation of the National Association of Big Families.
"We are very happy that our Program has reached such nice results so far" - said Gary Whitlie, Managing Director of Dreher Breweries. "And we are especially proud that we, as the only company in Hungary, presented our program as a pledge towards the European Union's Alcohol and Health Forum."
This SABMiller subsidiary news release has been translated from its local market language to English language for publication on http://www.sabmiller.com/ We have attempted to provide an accurate translation of the original material but due to the difficulties of translation slight differences may exist.
Note, the news release was first published in its local market on 05-08-09.

A lecture by JAMES L. WATSON, in the series Beyond the Headlines: China and the Global Future
Thursday, February 18, 20104:00 PM - 5:30 PMHacienda RoomUCLA Faculty CenterLos Angeles, CA 90095
This lecture explores the fate of international borders that were transformed by the collapse of cold-war socialism and the triumph of global capitalism. On February 15, 1951, a muddy creek that separated British Hong Kong from the newly established People's Republic of China suddenly became a front line of the cold war--the Berlin of the East.
Cantonese farmers, including members of a seven-hundred-year-old clan, found themselves separated by a "hot" border, cut off from each other for the next four decades. In 1997 Hong Kong reverted to Beijing's control and the border changed into a Tijuana-style immigration barrier. Today, people in Hong Kong resent the influx of Mandarin-speaking immigrants from north of the border and struggle to maintain a distinctive, local identity. Meanwhile, members of the border-straddling clan (studied by Professor Watson for the past forty years) have revived their pre-1950s ties and are thriving in the new post-colonial, late-socialist environment. The lecture concludes with some general thoughts regarding the uncertain fate of post-Cold War borders and the people who live in their hinterlands.
* * *
James L. Watson is the Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society and Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University. He teaches courses on Chinese society, globalization and culture, and comparative food systems. Professor Watson has gained international recognition as one of the most distinguished and important anthropologists of China.
Watson grew up in New Market, Iowa, and earned a Bachelors degree in Chinese Studies at the University of Iowa in 1965, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley (1972) in anthropology.
Professor Watson has spent over forty years conducting ethnographic research in south China, primarily in villages (Guangdong, Jiangxi, and the Hong Kong region). He learned to speak country Cantonese in the Hong Kong New Territories during the late 1960s and has subsequently worked in many parts of the People's Republic (using Mandarin). His research has focused on Chinese emigrants to London, ancestor worship and popular religion, family life and village organization, food systems, and the emergence of a post-socialist culture in the PRC. In recent years Prof. Watson has worked with graduate students in Harvard's Department of Anthropology to investigate the impact of transnational food industries in East Asia, Europe, and Russia.
A reception will follow Professor Watson's lecture.
The lecture series Beyond the Headlines: China and the Global Future brings to UCLA distinguished speakers who are key players in and observers of the global processes that are inextricably linking China's fate and the fate of the rest of the world. Professor Watson's lecture is the second in the series.

Preparing for the winter surf, part two
I had exited my teens just in time to find Honolua Bay on Maui quaking beneath the swell of the century. The 17-inch wide, 7'10" pintail I had crudely shaped and glassed in my garage proved adequate to the biggest California surf of the previous season, but standing in the shadows of what some would call 20-foot Hawaiian surf was something else. Leashes were a few years from being invented and the idea of breaking your one and only board was never far from mind, when facing a mountain of water and a beach lined with jagged boulders.
The first wave of the set stood up on the reef, jacked in front of the infamous cave and I paddled into it, feeling myself pulled back to the top of the wave. When feeling forward motion, I stood up, but was unprepared for the pressure exerted on spindly legs. I steadied myself for the drop, wobbled slowly to the bottom and had the entire Pacific Ocean unload on me. After the worst hold down of my life to that point, I finally surfaced to foam as thick as ice cream, tried not to gulp any down and looked for by board, which lay in pieces, on the rocks.
I had been Hawaii's latest victim of insufficient equipment and conditioning. The equipment has since been handled by Carl Ekstrom. Conditioning, I am leaving to the Greenasium, a unique North County "green" gym founded by three longtime friends and trainers: David Chaffey and brothers Alex and Byron Spratt.
What first attracted me was the word green in the gym's name. This is no bandwagon gimmick, but something the owners live by. Stationary bicycles send power back into the grid, rather than robbing it. Many of the items within are constructed of recyclable materials. All are painted with nontoxic paints. Even the business cards are on recycled paper and laced with wildflower seeds that sprout on contact with water and soil. The owners give back to the community through free weekly workouts and monthly beach cleanups. Clean, sparse and organized like a fine sushi house, the Greenasium is a comfortable place to work out or to hang out.
Of course none of these are reason enough for choosing a gym. The main selling point for me (I signed up after going there to write this story) is that the Greenasium does not apply a public school, play to the middle, attitude toward fitness, but emphasizes each individual's needs and goals, which in my case go back to the desire to ride bigger surf comfortably. "We help you set your own goals that can range from losing 10 pounds to surfing Pipeline," Chaffey said.
Lifelong surfers who do no other sports or lower body workout tend to be strong in the upper body and weak from the core down, since the muscles called upon in bigger waves get little use when actually riding waves.
"We look at surfing as a team sport: the arms, lungs, core and legs all ride the wave together," Alex Spratt said. "In training each of these players, you will become a better all-around surfer."
At 7 a.m. on a Wednesday morning trainer Alex Spratt gave me lesson No. 1, as I took the first step in helping correct some of my physical deficiencies. By mid-winter, I hope to find comfort in waves that have formerly been challenging. I may not be much improved by opening day, which should be just around the corner, but I'll let you know how things work out once the Aleutians again roar to life and scare the hell out of the unprepared.
