Dr Fiks sees very few patients, mostly he screens and refers to his of NPs. It hardly matters because you'll be treated like you're a hypochondriacal drug abuser and/or selling. I went there for over a year and even my internist agreed that he was purely in it for money. He pushes the most expensive opioids and pushes spinal blocks to line his pockets. He is demeaning and rude, and expensive. I didn't realize how awful he was until I went to another pain specialist who was kind and respectful. Fiks was neither.
Extremely poor communicator, Treated my husband like a drug addict instead of trying to help him deal with a chronic pain issue. All he wants to do is injections.
reviewed in the last week horrible pan handlers all they want is your $$$ this place is a joke the doctor lets uneducated PA handle your care and its a total JOKE the nurses and MA all think they are doctors they speak as if thier education was taken at a dumb tech institution that will pass ANYONE
I would not recommend this doctor, and especially his treating staff, after a singular initial appointment with this dr. Referrals to PT and notes in file were detrimental, whereas I was injured when I was unknowingly scheduled with a PA unfamiliar with me and comments in records were unfounded and derogatory; after having a serious reaction to pain meds, I was told that it was unrelated to them. There is a turnover with staff with exception of the core group who are nominal in professional stds.
This doctor has a nice facility, and the magazines are ok. Dr. Fiks has a staff of people that are rude half the time and have very poor communication. It makes for a long drawn out time at the doctor, so clear your DAY if you go there. Since his facility is nice, that means he has to pay the extra money to keep that appearance. I've noticed that the prices he is charging for the visit hits every line item on sheet. I could not believe what I was seeing. I'm actually surprised the Ins. Companies let him charge what he does. I'm sure I can't put actual prices on this without getting in trouble, but it seems to me its not about really getting to know and help the patient, it's about getting people into their office so they can charge for everything, (probably charges for a tissue) that's how bad it is. I have been going to this doctor for a year now and my out of pocket keeps going higher and higher and I still feel just as bad as I did when I started going to him. Might even feel worse. I have decided to find a new doctor because I don't feel like lining his pockets anymore. There are many others out there that take advantage of your situation like this doctors facility does. This place is take and rude, except the first day!
My experience has been great, I have had 3 lumbar injections. The second worked about 6 weeks the other 2 have not. But there have never been gurantees. Healing chronic pain is not easy if not impossible in some. Some of you have been in pain so long all you do is complain. Their staff has been great. Billing, no issues. Dr. Fiks is an imposing character but very professional. Don't dis him if his family owns the building. Go buy your own building, respect others culture. Im trying this pain treatment in hopes I don't have back surgery. My doctor gave it a 30% chance, I will take that over getting cut. If it doesn't work so be it, don't blame it on the doctor.
They did not listen to my needs or how I was feeling or provide appropriate reaction to a new pain condition. They told me I am too young to have anyt ...
I should of read the reviews prior to making an appointment. The office staff is absolutly rude! All the Physician Asst wanted to do was push spinal injections which did not help me previously. Sounds to me this palce is all about making money and over charging my Insurance for unnecessary exams. I contacted my referring physician about my experience and he referred me to another physician in Hillsboro. I would not recommend Dr.Fiks to anyone
From start to finish the entire staff especially receptionist needs extensive customer service training! Dr barely spoke and definitely doesn't explain anything.... Had one injection and cancelled all future appointments, get a new job dr its clear you don't care about patients! Advice don't come here!
i have been a patient for 3 years but I have finally HAD it. It is so plainly a complete SCAM. Initially I went because my other pain doctor, who I loved, died. I was referred by my internist. At the first appt he seemed interested in what he could do for me, but that was one of the only times i have SEEN DR. Fiks. You are brought make by a Medical assistant who is very unfriendly and she takes your vitals, which is a total Joke. They take your temperature, etc at every appt so they can bill more. My appts last about 8-10 minutes. It's simple; you give him exorbitant amount of money for a narcotic Rx. Of course the prescriptions are for medicines like Avinza and Opana, which cost me $2,300, a month. And the back injections are outrageous and did not help at all.! My insurance paid part yet I still had incredible out of pocket expenses. After about 2 yrs my internist told me he had referred his mother here and it was disastrous. My intents then referred me else wear for back injections and the experience was totally different. They were all very nice and the back injections WORKED! the complete opposite of Dr. Fiks scam. The turnover of PAs is very high. The PAs are the ones who write your scrips, and I can't count the times it wasn't written properly and I had the pharmacy nightmare. In summary, this is a DRUG MILL. they keep you addicted to opiates. There is no exit strategy. Dr. Fiks can't even prescribe bupinorphine and he wouldn't want to get you off opiods. The loss of money! HE IS GREEDY, UNCARING and condescending. Don't go!!
This is the worst healthcare experience I have ever had. This man Dr. Fiks is about MONEY ONLY. You can not make an appt. until you are called back (days later) at which time you can not see the DR. Only his PA's who then may or may not grant the permission to see him 1 or 2 weeks later. If you are so blessed to convince them to medicate you with something other than kick back meds that are not covered by insurance (he could care less, all the same to him) they will only write for the bear minimum that will keep you in enough pain to ensure your return. The Pa's run his office and should not be providing patient care due to there competency and compassion. I NEVER felt cared for or looked at as anything other than another pill seeking piece of human garbage who is nothing for the DR. Other than another insurance to way OVERBILL. I am so hurt and upset by the care I received and am flat out sad that what his clinic is doing is legal. I can not express the sadness I have for the future referrals to his clinic. His own family operates the entire clinic and he runs in house phys therapy and in house spinal injections. He runs his patients through the injection clinic like cattle for slaughter. Everyone insurance will cover WILL get injections mark my words. This place is just sick and wrong. Now I owe him thousands. I sure hope someone reads this and goes elsewhere before there insurance is pillaged...
First time going. the front desk girl didnt seem very happy, acted like i troubled her. they just should get rid of her. however the back assistant i spoke to was extremely nice and helpful. looking forward to my second visit.
I was a patient there for 2 years. Rarely saw him, mostly the P.A. I had severe back pain and was only given a couple of pain pills day. I was in agony but they didn't care. The procedures helped but were extremely expensive. The urine drug screens were billed to me and my insurance at 1,200! I work in healthcare and I know they do not cost that much. Not long ago I had to resubmit my test as my urine was too dilute to use. To my shock Dr. Fiks' office charged me anyway and made me do a second one. To my amazement they charged me for both at a cost of 2,400.00! (just to pee in a cup) I wrote a very nice letter to Dr. Fiks asking if he would write off a portion of my bill as my bill was HUGE! Nope, he wouldn't budge. It's been 6 months since my last injection and I have been in agony. His office refuses to schedule me until my bill is paid IN FULL even though I make generous monthly payments. I finally gave up and am going somewhere else. Dr. Fiks has ZERO compassion and only wants your money. Go somewhere else, trust me!!!!
Nurses & receptionists are almost always very friendly & caring. Always get checked in promptly. PA always makes sure to address any issues & all questions and expresses genuine concern for how I feel. Has given me hope and treatment ideas when many other doctors couldn't or didn't want to take the time to try to figure out my difficult health problems. I also like that they don't simply prescribe medication, but discuss it's pros & cons with you and let you help make decisions on your health care. I've never experienced that anywhere else before!
Although I have been with Dr. Fiks for less than a year,I am pleased with the professionalism when I see him. I would like more time with him and perhaps less with the PA but over all Dr Fiks has been a great advocate so far!
My experience with this Dr has been very very dissapointing. Dr Fix was not there when I first starting coming to Advanced Pain Management.I am not sure when he took over the clinic because I have seen him maybe twice for about 5 minutes in the years he has been there.I was always seen only by an assistant.Very unprofessional front office staff and the lady that does the billing was very dismissive when questions asked about accidentally billing my secondary insurance when the primary insurance should have been billed first. She actually told me not to worry about the mistake because the secondary insurance had already paid,so it wouldn't cost ME anything.She refused to correct it and asked me why I cared if the insurance company had already paid.That is dishonest to my insurance company. I parted ways with this practice when I discovered he had been sanctioned and disciplined in California,Oregon and Washington state for some questionable practices. Save yourself alot of grief and seek a pain clinic that cares about their patients and offers a multidiciplinary approach.
I have been a patient at Advanced Pain Management Center for approximately 10 years. During that time Dr. Fiks and his staff have seen me through many obstacles related to my pain. I have found the folks at APMC to be excellent practitioners and very caring, compassionate people. My pain has been managed well and the procedures recommended allowed me to become more active, sleep better and enjoy my life more. The nurses never fail to give me a follow up phone call after a procedure even though I know their days are quite busy. The office is clean, comfortable and stylish hardly feels like a doctors office and there is plenty of parking and handicapped access. Keep up the great work APMC! I highly recommend Dr. Fiks on a regular basis and will continue to do so. However, if you are a drug addict or do not feel a responsibility to pay your bills, this is not the clinic for you.
i have bad back pain and i had injections in my lower back and cost me 3000 a shot bit much i say. staff are not nice at all
Not a place I would send a pet I cared about yet alone go back for more treatment. Very transparent give me money I'll write scripts..... 2 bad quacks
After i had been sent to another local clinic whose idea was to spend 10 minutes asking me how I was, then telling me to keep taking drugs, APMC was a nice change. Yes the office help are a bit robotic, and appear not so caring, but the doctors are great. Looking for alternate ways to help the pain, taking extra time to discuss issues I am having. Explaining things I just don't understand about Chronic Pain. I will definately continue to use this facility and would definately encourage others also
Terrible practice- I would NEVER go back again. I had a procedure performed and I never even saw the MD. No results. Office and MD need serious customer service skills.

BUYER ADVICE against all R Gupta BooksFriends, I ordered this book and a few others written by R Gupta. Only the Economics Section (Paper II & III) are worth looking at, rest everything will ensure that you FAIL in the exam. Like all of the R Gupta's books, this book is FULL of incorrect answers to questions that will throw you off if you get the answers right only to find out they are wrong according to the book. Then you recheck recheck and recheck your answer only to find out later that you were right. Same is with Research Aptitude and continues in all the other sections. R Gupta is an author who just copies and pastes a handf… (Expand)

CHAMPAIGN -- The first couple weeks of school are always a challenge. Students at Dr. Howard got a break from it Thursday with help from some UI athletes. Teachers and staff hosted a Back to School celebration. The day of fun and games allowed all 450 students, and some older participants, to enjoy themselves. The theme at Dr. Howard is being kind to others and showing respect.

Evolution has had little affect on the xenophobic mind in that past 100 years. Indeed, knowledge and understanding have also fallen short of reaching the advent xenophobic trend.
Evolution has had little affect on the xenophobic mind in that past 100 years. Indeed, knowledge and understanding have also fallen short of reaching the advent xenophobic trend.
In 1905, the Clansmen: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, the second anti-black bigoted novel in a trilogy written by Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr. a North Carolina Baptist minister, was published. Dixon felt that the Northern liberals and emancipated slaves were destroying the South and its Christian way of life. Dixon depicted African-Americans as savage beasts, and threats to white women and American civilization.
Dixons Klan Trilogy was a best seller in 1905, as was the first racist novel in the trilogy the Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden, which he wrote in reactionary response to Uncle Tom's Cabin and in an interview in 1903, Dixon himself said:
"I claim the book is an authentic human document and I know it is the most important moral deed of my life. It may shock the prejudice of those who have idealized or worshipped the Negro as canonized in "Uncle Tom." Is it not time they heard the whole truth? They have heard only one side for forty years."
The Leopard's Spots is a hateful novel, but along with the other books in the Klan Trilogy it was very popular with American readers, north and south. So popular, that D. W. Griffith's used Dixon's novels and plays to make the movie, Birth of a Nation in 1915.
Birth of a Nation was first releases as the Clansmen in California, but three months later it was renamed to Birth of a Nation when it premiered in New York. In fact, William Joseph Simmons, a Methodist minister, was inspired by the Birth of a Nation to reestablish the Klan. In the decade that followed the initial release of the film, the Klan experienced a revival and an overwhelming membership of over 100,000 devotees. Simmons' founding members included two aged men who had been members of the original Klan and the Knights of Mary Phagan, the media inspired lynch mod that murdered Leo Frank because he was a Jew and accused of killing Phagan. The Knights of Mary Phagan burned the first cross that is now a Klan trademark at Stone Mountain, Georgia. The cross burring was not a ritual used by the original Klan; it was inspired by the film, Birth of a Nation, and traces back to a Scottish signaling practice. A burning cross is also referenced in the novel Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott.
Unbelievably, today, Birth of a Nation is still a recruitment tool used for Klan membership. Despite the fact that all of the depictions in the film are false and have only one intention – to create hostilities towards a defenseless minority by provoking fear of an imaginary and impending destruction of American society at the hands of "Savages" and "Criminals". To make matters worse for African-Americans, politicians endorsed the film – Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it not only historically accurate, but like "history writ with lightning."
Sound familiar?
It should. It is the same tactic of the Antis. The term Antis is loosely applied to describe those people that are Anti-(legal/illegal) immigration, anti-diversity, anti-multilingualism, anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-minorities, anti-peace, etc. Like the Klan's use of fear tactics, the Antis use the same lies to provoke the same fear that has inspired the forming of groups like the Minutemen and Save our State.
One read of the material found at several Antis sites and immediately a person who has experienced diversity will quickly see through the lies the Antis spread about minorities, specifically ethnic Mexicans.
I must explain that there are two categories of Mexicans, one is the Mexican citizen and the other is the ethnic Mexican. A Mexican citizen can be of any race, and practice any culture i.e. Sephardic Jews, Muslims and Indigenous. Ethnic Mexicans share a common cultural background, can also be of any race, and can live anywhere in the world. One can not easily distinguish an ethnic Mexican from a Mexican citizen; and the Antis don't really want people to know that there is a difference. They want to provoke hatred towards all persons perceived to be Mexican. They mask their message of hate with words like "Illegals", "Criminals", and if any person with a Spanish surname commits a crime the Antis quickly use the incident as evidence of the "Savage" and "Criminal" nature of Illegals, which, by the way, is the new code word for Mexican.
Infamous quotes:
"Illegals…are coming here to kill you and to kill me and our families." – Tom Tancredo, US Congressman
"The diversity crowd seduces the naive by teaching that the invaders are noble, harmless people, just here to work, when in fact they are here to commit auto theft, burglary, rape, robbery and murder." – Robert Vasquez, County Commissioner
"Illegal immigrants will destroy this country. Every time a Mexican flag is planted on American soil, it is a declaration of war." – Jim Gilchrist, Minuteman Project
"We are suffering robbery, rape and murder of law-abiding citizens at the hands of illegal barbarians who are cutting off heads and appendages of blind, white, disabled gringos." – Barbara Coe, California Coalition for Immigration Reform
"These people start coming into our communities, they live among us, they steal our children's educations and our children's jobs and our jobs. Deport them. Each and every one of them." — Lupe Moreno, Latino Americans for Immigration Reform
"I can't stand hyphenated Americans." – Joseph Turner, SOS
Of the names listed above, Robert Vasquez and Lupe Moreno have parents and grandparents that were undocumented immigrants. Their hate for Mexicans is rooted in self loathing from their failure to adjust to oppression. Some Mexicans living in a dominant white environment have lied about their ancestry to be accepted into white society. Some have claimed to be Spanish, Italian or anything but Mexican. Those that could not fabricate a persona that white society would accept, blame their ancestors and hence we have people like Vasquez and Moreno. Fortunately, the majority of Mexicans embrace their ethnicity and don't have to suffer like Vasquez and Moreno. What these misguided souls have failed to understand is that white society is not by itself American, but only one of the diverse ethnic groups that make up the whole of Americanism.
Patriotism is another ploy used to misdirect the masses. Just like the Klan, the Antis say that they are fighting to preserve the American culture and hide the fact that Americana is the combination of contributions from many cultures, i.e. the Cowboy is Mexican in essence and substance; Blues, Jazz and Rock and Roll are African-American and our economic system is European. The list is extensive and includes the contributions of Asians, Native Americans and many other ethnicities.
All public school history books omit the fact that Nuevo España, AKA Mexico, funded up to 80% of the American Revolution and sent many Indigenous, Mestizo and Iberian troops to aid the Continental Army in defeating the British. The books don't tell you that Latinos planned many of the victorious battles fought against the British.
The end result today is that Latinos, specifically Mexicans, are not viewed in the correct historical perspective, but viewed as enemy invaders because the population in general favors the fictional anecdotes of impending doom theories of the Antis.
The Antis will tell you that a person's position on immigration says a lot about their patriotism, and if you favor a logical and equitable solution to immigration reform you will be called a traitor by the Antis: "Patriots are for law and order, and the rights of citizens over the desires of a horde of law-breakers. Traitors are willing to see our country overrun by outsiders who want what we have, but don't want to be part of us."
The Antis will claim that undocumented workers take jobs away from Americans, yet agribusiness and the construction industry have reported labor shortages. Agribusiness is paying as much as $14/hr for harvest help in order to compete with the construction industry for laborers. I posted an 800 phone number at many Antis websites, blogs and forums soliciting employees for jobs in both agribusiness and construction, but not one Anti has applied for a job.
Reality teaches us that the real issue concerning immigration reform is not patriotism, but economics. As I have stated, there are labor shortages across the country even with the available labor pool of undocs. We are a capitalist nation that operates in conjunction with other capitalist nations to share commerce, and other economical resources.
The US has an excess supply of jobs and the undocs have a supply of laborers – the simple practice of supply and demand is what keeps the economy stable and profitable.
Economic trade allows the free flow of services, products and other resources across our borders. Labor is an economic resource that the US needs. We have shortages, and will have more shortages in the very near future. Immigration is how labor shortages are usually met; another resource is outsourcing jobs by exporting them to other countries. Both are used, but because of the high demand for labor and the antiquated immigration system, US industries utilize the undocumented worker.
Is anyone viewing immigration in its proper perspective? Yes. Corporate America and its foreign allies in commerce are all watching the immigration debate. They are not worried though, because they will continue their lobbying and backroom deals to ensure that they get the labor supply they need. On the surface, there may be elaborate legislature passed, walls built and a militarized border, but in the fields, factories and construction sites, the undocumented will remain a prevalent commodity. Undocumented workers have been a part of the US economic equation for almost a century and it is not likely to change any time soon.
Strip away the rhetoric about Patriotism, Impending Doom and Demise of Americana and you have the bottom line – help wanted, the primary reason that the undocumented, at great personal risk and peril, come to the US. They are my heroes; they make great sacrifices to ensure that I have food on my table, a roof over my head and clothes to wear. Then, as an added bonus, they mow my lawn, care for my kids and wash my car. Amnesty has certainly been earned by many of the undocumented workers in our country.
Vote for Amnesty, vote for human rights, vote for a diverse America.

I'm running Oracle WLS 10.3.5.0.
I have two Managed Servers and want to setup distributed JMS Queues on them. However, I'm confused about the relationship between JMS Servers and Persistent Stores.
I have created two migratable JMS Servers, one on each Managed Server. Each JMS Server points to its own Persistent Store on the same Managed Server, each with a unique prefix name.
JMSServer1 JMSServer2
PersistentStore1 PersistentStore2
Migratable ManagedServer 1 Migratable ManagedServer2
The WLS JMS Servers section shows:
JMSServer1 JDBCJmsStore1 ManagedServer_1 (migratable) ManagedServer_1 OK
JMSServer2 JDBCJmsStore2 ManagedServer_2 (migratable) ManagedServer_2 OK
Is that correct?
Many thanks.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The city administration and a union representing most City Hall workers have declared an impasse in contract negotiations that have dragged on for nearly a year.
The city and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees had reached tentative agreements on six of the contract's 37 articles, said Costy Kassisieh, management negotiator.
Kassisieh declined to list any major sticking points.
Anthony Montoya, union president, declined to disclose specifics in the talks.
The impasse Thursday came under a provision in the city's new labor ordinance, which says negotiations must be settled by Oct. 15 or a federal mediator will be appointed to settle differences.
The city previously declared an impasse in May.
The two sides returned to the bargaining table in July, shortly after the city terminated 15 provisions in the previous contract and presented another 13.
The city could no longer afford to pay the terms of the previous fiscal year's contract, administration officials said.

5.0 stars 3 totalReview Mark Lischwe
Posted by Martha
I was recently referred to Mr. Mark Lischwe as the attorney to handle my chapter 13 bankruptcy. I had an initial consult with Mr. Lischwe and immediately felt comfortable. He explained everything very clearly and answered every question I had. I never had any doubts about him handling my case. Every time I had a question, I would email Mr. Lischwe's legal assistant and ask. She would always email me back with an answer as soon as possible. Mr. Lischwe's legal assistant is the best and the brightest! His office kept in contact with me so that I never once wondered what was happening. Mr. Lischwe has a keen knowledge of the bankruptcy laws, which is very evident in your first meeting with him. His office made my case extremely easy for me. The price was right, the people very friendly and very caring. I am truly thankful I was led to Mr. Lischwe. I highly recommend Mr. Lischwe. He is simply the best!
Posted by David Lin
Mark handled my case over a 5 year period. There were some issues that he managed expertly and his oversight resulted in my Chapter 13 discharge. Before you hire an attorney, ask how many BKs he's seen through to discharge. I bet not many. It requires skill, oversight, knowledge of the laws, persistence and a genuine care for the client. Mark has all these skills. He comes highly recommended.
Posted by Sally
He had a convenient satellite office, was efficient and explained clearly what was needed from us in our case, accepted payment on our own schedule, and his office staff is outstanding.

Congress Rejects $250 Payment for Seniors
WASHINGTON—House and Senate lawmakers defeated a Democratic attempt to provide a one-off $250 payment to seniors, veterans and disabled people, after Republicans united to block the legislation.
The bill would have provided the payment in lieu of a cost-of-living increase for 2010.
Democratic lawmakers brought the bill forward after the Social Security Administration determined there would be no automatic cost-of-living adjustment because the inflation measure it uses recorded no increase in 2010.
The White House strongly urged its passage, saying it would provide much-needed financial assistance to 58 million people.
The Senate vote was 53-45 in favor of bringing up the matter for debate, with five Democratic or Independent lawmakers siding with most Republicans in opposing the measure. Sixty votes were needed to advance the legislation.
In the House, the vote was 254-153 in favor, short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage under the fast-track procedure that was used.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) criticized Republicans for voting against the bill. "This legislation is critical to our seniors and is fiscally responsible, but unfortunately, congressional Republicans overwhelmingly chose to oppose it," Ms. Pelosi said.
Republicans argued that the bill would have added $14 billion to the federal budget deficit, and that the spending should have been offset by savings elsewhere in the budget.
"There is a responsible way to protect seniors without increasing the deficit," said Sage Eastman, a spokesman for Rep. David Camp (R., Mich.), who will become the chairman of the Ways & Means Committee next year.
Cost-of-living adjustments are set automatically each year by an inflation measure adopted by Congress in 1975. More than 58 million retirees, disabled people and surviving family members receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income checks. The average monthly check is $1,072.
The increase for 2009 was 5.8%, the largest in 27 years. It was triggered by a sharp but short-lived spike in gas prices to more than $4 a gallon in the summer of 2008. By law, the next increase in benefits won't come until consumer prices as a whole rise above what they were that summer.
Democrats and advocacy groups say the formula doesn't accurately reflect the living costs of seniors, who pay more for such commodities as health care and drugs.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama State University Board of
Trustees is upset over a bill introduced by Sen. Roger Smitherman
to rename the school's acadome for Joe L. Reed.
The board stripped Reed's name from the sports building last year after he filed a court challenge to severance pay for outgoing ASU president Joe Lee.
Trustees issued a statement Friday saying Smitherman's bill sets a bad precedent and opens the doors for legislators to randomly rename buildings at other state colleges and universities.

EDITORIAL: Smoking down, but still health problem
Published: Tuesday, January 7, 2014 at 9:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 7, 2014 at 9:30 p.m.
Many people of a certain age can tell you exactly why they quit smoking. They will point to the report by U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry — released 50 years ago this week — that stated unequivocally that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer.
Once it was printed in black and white many, people could no longer enjoy lighting up. Anyone who has seen the effects of lung cancer can understand why. Sometimes it's just necessary to state the obvious.
Many of the people who quit in the wake of the surgeon general's report had probably suspected for years what the report stated. References to cigarettes by names like "coffin nails" date back to the early 20th century, and lung cancer cases went from relatively rare occurrences to a growing health problem as machine-rolled cigarettes grew in popularity.
With the heavy restrictions on smoking today, it's hard to remember how ingrained cigarette smoking was in the culture in 1964. Cigarettes were among the most heavily advertised products on television. Tobacco companies sponsored sporting events. Celebrities endorsed different brands. There were few places you couldn't light up, and ashtrays were standard equipment on just about every desk and table.
"More doctors smoke Camels than any other brand," the company's advertising proclaimed. Indeed, almost half the doctors in America smoked, and patients likely assumed their doctor wouldn't do anything that wasn't good for his health.
Changing that culture has been a slow process. It started with anti-smoking campaigns and accelerated with a ban on cigarette advertising on television. Advocacy groups sought protection for nonsmokers, and states raised taxes and eventually sued and won huge settlements from tobacco companies. Smoking cessation products helped people quit.
Today, the percentage of the population that smokes has dropped from 43 percent to 18 percent. And that 18 percent pays an exorbitant price for cigarettes.
But smoking remains the No. 1 cause of preventable deaths in the country. Fifty years later, it is still a major health problem. Some bad habits die hard.

SEOUL, Jan. 13 (Yonhap) -- President Park Geun-hye offered her congratulations to the archbishop of Seoul on his promotion to cardinal, her office said Monday.
Andrew Yeom Soo-jung, the 71-year-old archbishop of Seoul, was one of the 19 new cardinals named by Pope Francis. He is South Korea's third cardinal after late Stephen Cardinal Kim Sou-hwan (1922-2009) and Nicholas Cardinal Cheong Jin-suk.
On Monday, Park called Yeom to offer congratulations, saying his promotion was what South Koreans had hoped for, according to senior presidential press secretary Lee Jung-hyun.
In March, Park expressed her hope for a new South Korean cardinal when Cardinal Fernando Filoni, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples at the Vatican, visited Seoul to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations between Korea and the Roman Curia.
Park also expressed hope for a papal visit to Korea at the time.

Demand for pilots is heating up in the Asia-Pacific region as
new aircraft are added to fleets and ageing pilots retire.
Pilot trainers and an Auckland-based placement company say
Kiwi pilots have a good reputation and in the post-global
financial crisis tightening cycle are picking up work around
the world.
Plane makers Airbus and Boeing are planning significant
production increases with deliveries forecast to go from the
current 400 a year to around 2000 by 2019.
Many of these planes will be crewed by retrained pilots but a
large number of new ones will be needed.
Hamilton airline flight training school CTC Wings said its
research showed in the Asia Pacific region and China close to
90,000 pilots would be needed by 2023.
In Australia demand had fallen since the Qantas announcement
of thousands of job cuts six months ago but in Asia, and
Japan in particular, demand was strong, said CTC's chief
operating officer Peter Stockwell.
Thousands of flights in Japan could be cancelled this summer
as the country's rapidly ageing population leads to a
nationwide shortage of airline pilots.
One budget airline, Peach Aviation, has said that more than
2000 flights between May and October may be affected by pilot
shortages. Vanilla Air, another low-cost carrier, recently
announced the cancellation of 154 flights this month after
struggling to recruit sufficient staff to fly its planes.
Regional airlines in the United States - notoriously poor
payers - were also short of staff.
Stockwell said Vietnam's aviation sector was rapidly
expanding airline operations and China was a huge market.
"Part of the issue with a lot of these places is dealing with
the regulators," he said.
Around the world attrition accounts for 30 per cent of demand
and fleet changes and expansion the remainder, according to
the CTC report.
Aviation recruitment specialist Rishworth Aviation said it
was difficult to get a handle on overall demand but it was
"Post GFC [global financial crisis] we're finding it harder
to get guys for a lot of our contracts. Maybe the supply
globally is okay but there'll be major imbalances between
where they need to be. There's growth in Asia but all the
infrastructure for training is in Europe and America," said
managing director Mark East.
New Zealand pilots are well regarded around the world because
of their flexibility and adaptability.
New Zealand Airline Pilots Association president Wayne
Renwick said in this country there didn't seem to be a
"We don't believe there is a shortage now. There may be in
the future but there seems to be enough perfectly trained and
qualified pilots who could step up through the system."
New international rules requiring both pilots in a cockpit to
be under 65 are due to be introduced later this year although
there will be exemptions in New Zealand.
Renwick said that as long as a pilot is licensed and holds a
valid medical certificate human rights laws mean there can't
be discrimination on age grounds.

Aug 24, 2013It's sad to see a movie trying to tell a meaningful story go for shock by throwing an x-rated scene into the mix. I understand that the X industry is part of the storyline, but it was completely graphically unnecessary it badly overshadows the movie to a "0."
Awards & Rankings
Starlet sneaks up on you. Set in the same sun-dried, strip-malled precincts of the San Fernando Valley where "Boogie Nights" took place - and set, in part, in that same porn industry milieu - Sean Baker's low-key, low-budget indie traces the relationship that develops between a young actress and an isolated, elderly woman.
It's an odd film in some ways. The porn milieu is detailed in ways at once sparing, in terms of actual screen time, and bluntly explicit. The odd-couple relationship guiding the story has its familiarities. But where it counts, 'Starlet' ... allows its characters room to maneuver within the potential cliches.
The film itself deserves praise for its portraits of these two women and the different worlds they inhabit.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Creators | Ruling that cartoonist Albert Uderzo can't benefit from tax breaks extended to authors, French authorities have ordered the Asterix co-creator to pay $273,000 in taxes on the 24 books he and late collaborator late René Goscinny produced between 1959 and 1979. The country's tax office asserts the extra tax exemption applies only to "people who have participated in writing the texts of the comic strip." "This is an injustice and a scandal," the 84-year-old Uderzo said. [The Telegraph]
Creators | Cartoonist Dick Locher is retiring from the Dick Tracy comic strip after 32 years, handing the reins to artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis. Their first strip will appear in newspapers on March 14. "It's time to move on to other things," the 81-year-old Lochner tells Michael Cavna. "It's time to do normal things with my family, to travel, to paint in the American Southwest." [Comic Riffs]
Publishing | In an article focusing on the commercial success of The Walking Dead, Image Comics reveals that initial print runs for the collected editions are 100,000 copies. More than 2 million copies of the trade paperbacks have been sold. [Publishers Weekly]
Legal | Running counter to arguments used in the United States to criminalize cartoon depictions of "a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct that is obscene," a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience is proposing the use of comics containing child pornography to steer "pedophiles' impulses in the right direction" and reduce the abuse of actual children. A Dutch anti-child pornography group supports the sure-to-be controversial plan. [Radio Netherlands Worldwide]
Retailing | Although San Antonio, Texas, retailer Atomic Comics & Gaming announced just days ago that it would close at the end of next month, owner Gary Ruiz now says the store will remain open. "Alright, we have not taken our last breath here," he writes on the store's website. "We will ride this store till the wheels fall off." He tells Rene A. Guzman: "We had a small financial scare but thanks to some backing from individuals we are able to keep our doors open and will continue to serve the San Antonio community." [MySA.com]

Comics | John Przybys spotlights Southern Nevada's comics scene. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
Comics | Gina Gagliano recommends seven comics that feature supernatural teenagers. [First Second Books]
There hasn't been as much talk about Understanding Israel in 60 Days or Less as would have liked. CBR should interview her or at least give it a spotlight review. The book is wonderful (although severly marred by shoddy printing.)
I always enjoy eating crow with humble pie for dessert. Still, its surprisng how under the radar it is for a vertigo book.
It could be because it's hard to review a book about Israel on a comic book website without trolls spouting conspiracy theories and racist arguments in the comments section.
I was more upset that the Jewish media completely ignored it. I mean sure, it's a comic, and almost nobody pays attention to comics except the comic news outlets, but you'd think a comic about a typical American secular Jew going to Israel with a bias against Israel and seeing how she reacts to the reality of the situation would be something they'd want to call attention to, something they'd want to explore.

Village People's Randy Jones Starts a New Club Night!
Randy Jones, the original cowboy from the legendary disco group the Village People, is a man of many hats--not just cowboy ones.
He's starting a party called Sunday Night Fever at Splash this Sunday, May 6.
Here's what the ever-charming Randy had to say about stuff when I asked.
On his input into the weekly party:

"My brand is fun, and my brand is having someone around who was there and can let you know if it's being done the right way. They could have used us on that movie [54] because no one there knew what was going on."
Is he the host?
"I hesitate to call myself a host, but I think that's the idea they have. I'm gonna be there on the premises for the majority of that time slot. It's wonderful to have kind of a residency and a spot where I know where I'm gonna be for several Sundays when I'm not performing somewhere else. It's nice to have a bigger living room."
Other projects include the movie Tale of Poe, a trilogy based on Edgar Allan Poe tales.
"I'm also doing a film called Cafe '65, based on Titus Andronicus. They set it in the early '60s in an Arizona town, looking at it through the lens of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. It's by a young filmmaker from Mexico. I play the father of the girl who gets raped and gets her tongue cut out."
His legacy with the Village People?
"I'm very proud of it, and I honor it. My takeaway from it is it was fun for me, and lots of hard work, and I never knew all that hard work and fun would still be paying off all these years later. It represents fun and an era when people were having a good time. We only had three networks. You weren't tweeting or listening to your voice mail. You were having a good time, even if that good time meant dancing on the floor with someone half-naked handing you a popper bottle and Disco Sally to the left and Kevyn Aucoin to the right.
"You and I were raised in the generation of turbulence and war and demonstrating. But we also had been raised on the philosophy of free love--'If it feels good, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.' When we hit 21 and free, those of us incorporated those philosophies into our adult lives. There was a generation that really loved what they had been taught in the '60s.
"We've got to hand it to Sylvia Rivera standing up to cops that could have shot her dead [at Stonewall]. 'I am in high heels, a dress, and a wig. Do not fuck with me, and if you do, I will put that parking meter through your fucking windshield.' After that, the gay community said, 'We're gonna reclaim these images of what men can look like. Some people might want a different drag--that drag can be a leather actor or a cowboy.' The gay community was taking back the male image while women were putting on pants suits and straight men were letting their hair grow long on the road to metrosexuality. And yet we were the opposite of the leisure suit, trend-wise.
"I understood that it was built on male images that had been sold by the Hollywood film industry for years. The first film, The Great Train Robbery, started with a cowboy looking you right in the lens with a gun. We infused it with a little Three Stooges humor, a little Marx brothers, a little fun.
"Everything I've done has been with a wink, a wiggle, and a wave, and wanting you to laugh along. I could never have gotten up and sang a song called 'Macho Man' with a straight face. Think about it!"

Mitch Daniels's Wife Can Change the Course of History
Sh hates politics, but will she let her husband run?
Fact: The outcome of the 2012 presidential election will have an enormous effect on world events and alter the course of history.
Fact: Mitch Daniels, the highly respected Indiana governor who stands out in the primary field for being decidedly uncrazy, could beat President Obama. "Top Democrats," according to one report, believe he'd be Obama's second-toughest opponent. (Daniels himself thinks the odds of unseating Obama would be "quite good")
Fact: The GOP establishment is desperate for Daniels to get into the race, but Daniels has yet to decide whether to run.
Fact: The approval of his wife Cheri will be a major factor in his decision.
And this is why all eyes are on Cheri Daniels today, as she makes the keynote speech at the Indiana GOP's springtime fund-raising dinner. Is she going to say something like, "I officially give my husband permission to run for president"? No.
The governor insists his wife has no plans to break news. "She's going to talk about the life of the first lady, which she's never made much of a display of," he told reporters Monday.
But Daniels gets why everyone is getting so excited.
"Cheri hasn't even attended one of these, let alone appeared at one of them," he said in a recent interview. He added, "Tea leaves started getting read — and I get it."
Indeed, observers hope that something she says might hint at whether the ultimate reluctant political wife has acquiesced to what, to her, would seem to be a major headache. As The Wall Street Journal reports, she didn't even want any part of her husband's statewide campaigns:
The Indiana first lady's distaste for politics is legendary. Her husband crisscrossed the state for months in an RV to win his two elections for governor, first in 2004 and then in 2008. His wife stayed away.
"She hated the idea," Mr. Daniels told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year. She agreed to let him run, he said, on the condition that she never would have to appear at campaign events. "And I can say I have stuck to that [promise] to this day," he said.
A presidential campaign would be much longer and more intense, and furthermore, would eventually focus attention on the Daniels's mysterious marriage history. Even so, the Times says that if Mitch Daniels runs, Indiana Republicans believe that Cheri "will not dramatically change the distant role she has played in his previous campaigns." Which is a shame. Because she sounds like an awesome time.
The first lady is no shrinking violet. She is a constant presence at both weeks of the annual Indiana State Fair. She won two blue ribbons at the 2007 fair, one for cow milking and the other for long-distance watermelon-seed spitting. (She spit one 15 feet, one inch.)
Every month she takes on a new "chore" she then describes as part of a radio show she hosts, "First Fridays with the First Lady." Some highlights: dump truck driving, bartending, clog dancing, grooming a horse.
Watermelon-seed spitting! Beat that, Callista Gingrich.

Heart Health Center
Leaky Heart Valve
In this article
Leaky Heart Valve and Aortic Regurgitation
Causes of a leaky aortic valve include:
- A bicuspid aortic valve, which means the valve has two flaps instead of the normal three
- High blood pressure, or hypertension
- Infection of the heart valve, known as endocarditis
- Marfan syndrome
- Rheumatic heart disease
Many people with aortic regurgitation only require observation over time.
People with symptoms due to severe aortic valve regurgitation may benefit from certain blood pressure medicines called vasodilators. Other drug treatments for congestive heart failure, such as diuretics, can be helpful in severe aortic regurgitation.
When aortic regurgitation is severe, surgery is sometimes the recommended treatment. A surgeon will usually replace or repair the leaking aortic valve.
Leaky Heart Valve and Mitral Regurgitation
Causes of a leaky mitral valve include:
- Mitral valve prolapse (an improper closing of the valve)
- An enlarged heart, called cardiomyopathy, due to hypertension, coronary artery disease, or another cause
- Endocarditis
- Rheumatic heart disease
Some people with a leaky mitral valve don't require treatment. The standard approach is observation over time. Experts don't recommend daily medication for mitral regurgitation unless there is significant heart failure.
Surgery to repair or replace a mitral valve that is leaking severely can result in significant improvement for certain people. Because mitral regurgitation is slowly progressive, deciding when to operate -- neither too early, nor too late -- can be difficult.
Leaky Heart Valve and Tricuspid Regurgitation
Many healthy adults have a slightly leaky tricuspid valve. This may be discovered incidentally, usually causes no problems, and does not require treatment or follow-up.
Moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation may result from pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery. This high blood pressure has many possible causes. The main one is congestive heart failure.
Medicines may not be effective in treating tricuspid regurgitation. Diuretics, or water pills, can help relieve body swelling, or edema, that's due to congestive heart failure. The swelling is not always present, however.
The tricuspid valve may be repaired during surgery to correct other leaky heart valves. Surgical repair of the tricuspid valve generally works better than replacing it. Surgery to replace the tricuspid valve by itself (not along with the mitral or aortic valve) is only recommended in rare cases.

Fullerton also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in California, ranking as number 31st. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Year over Year Google Adwords Prices for Fullerton are up in May 2016
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Fullerton keywords increased by (Yr/Yr increase %)% versus the same keywords one year earlier.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 10% Lower in Fullerton than Anaheim
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Fullerton are 10% lower than in Anaheim. The average price of a click in Fullerton is $11.44.

This is the first recipe I have seen in over 50 years that puts in drying time after slicing. This was my Aunt Rosie's way of making these and they were always perfect. Heirloom tomatoes take me right back to my childhood and they taste SO much better. Enjoy these like I did!
Very good! I used heirloom tomatoes, and dried them as instructed. Then I refrigerated the prepared slices. When ready to cook, I pressed panko into the tomatoes. They were very delicious - crispy, light and sweet/tart. Thanks Linzi.
Very good! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
The spices are delicious, adding a nice kick. A wonderful end to the last of the garden tomatoes. Thanks for sharing.
These are great! I couldn't get green tomatoes, so (much to my family's amusement) we had fried green tomatoes which were actually red! Lol The spice was great, just enough heat. Next time I will cut the coating mixture in half though, as i had a lot left over. I have covered it and popped it in the fridge though, to make some spicey potato fritters tomorrow. We had never had fried tomatoes before, and hubby & I both loved them! Great recipe, Linzi! [Made for PAC Fall 2008]
Yum, very tasty.

Washington Redskins: Preoccupied by family issues, and seriously contemplating the end altogether to his football career, quarterback Danny Wuerffel has turned down a contract offer to rejoin the Redskins.
Wuerffel was with the team in 2002, and again in training camp this summer, but was released in the final roster reduction before the start of the season. With the release last week of backup Rob Johnson, the Redskins had no backup on the roster with any regular season experience, and offered Wuerffel a deal through this season, worth $305,000. It would have been a minimum-salary deal prorated over the team's remaining nine games.
But agent Mike Moye informed the team that Wuerffel, the former Heisman Trophy star who played for Washington coach Steve Spurrier at the University of Florida, chose not to accept the Redskins' proposal.
The career backup has been in New Orleans performing ministry work and his wife is pregnant as well. Spurrier hinted that Wuerffel may soon retire, but sources close to the quarterback said no determination has been made in that regard.
Wuerffel's decision means that, beyond starter Patrick Ramsey, the Redskins do not have a quarterback who has taken a snap in a regular-season game. The club signed free agent Tim Hasselbeck, a former Boston College starter, last week after releasing Johnson. The Redskins may also promote seventh-round draft pick Gibran Hamdan, who knows the offense better than Hasselbeck at this point, from their practice squad.
In related news, it appears starting halfback Trung Canidate and top reserve Ladell Betts will miss this weekend's game at Dallas, which would leave third-down specialist Chad Morton and fullback Rock Cartwright to split the ball-carrying load. The Redskins have released offensive lineman Mitch White, signed last week, and re-signed Brad Bedell.
The Redskins also signed cornerback Calvin Carlyle and released linebacker Orantes Grant.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Linebacker T.J. Slaughter was cut Tuesday, a day after he was arrested for allegedly pointing
a gun at two men passing him in a car.
Slaughter, a fourth-year veteran, is free on bond while
prosecutors decide whether to charge him. He could face a felony
charge of aggravated assault, or a misdemeanor charge of improper
exhibition of a firearm.
The men told police they drove up alongside Slaughter on a
highway Sunday night and tried to complement him about his wheel
rims. That's when, the men said, Slaughter rolled down his window
and pointed a handgun at them.
Slaughter denied showing the gun, but told police he did carry a
gun in the center console of his vehicle, authorities said.
A third-round draft pick of the Jaguars in 2000, Slaughter
started 29 games but opened this season as a backup. He had 18
tackles and one sack for the Jaguars this season. Last year, he was
suspended four games for violating the league's steroid policy.
--Associated Press
Houston Texans: After starting the first 23 contests of his young NFL career, it appears Texans quarterback David Carr will be forced to the sideline by a high ankle sprain. Carr, the only starting quarterback to date in franchise history, suffered the injury to his right ankle in Sunday's loss at Indianapolis.
A Monday re-evaluation of the ankle, which included an MRI exam, indicated the ankle is not as severely damaged as originally believed. Carr insisted on Tuesday that he will try to play, and is receiving near-round the clock treatment, but the odds that he will be sufficiently recovered to face the Carolina Panthers are remote.
"I want to be 100 percent when I come back," said Carr, who will be listed as "doubtful" on the official injury report that will be posted Wednesday morning. "I will be very, very surprised if I'm not back by the Cincinnati game [on Nov. 9]."
Assuming that Carr cannot play, journeyman veteran Tony Banks will start and rookie Dave Ragone will serve as the primary backup. Banks has started 75 games during his eight-year career. But he did not take a snap at all in 2002, has played sparingly in '03, and has not started a regular-season game since the 2001 finale with Washington.
St. Louis Rams: The surging Rams, now tied for the lead in the NFC West, figure to see their ranks boosted for this weekend's game at San Francisco, with the anticipated returns of tailback Marshall Faulk and strong safety Adam Archuleta. There is also a chance that cornerback Travis Fisher will be back in the lineup and that free safety Jason Sehorn, who has not played yet this year after suffering a fractured foot in training camp, might be able to participate in some situational circumstances.
Faulk has missed the past four games with hand and knee injuries, but the Rams have been able to maintain a balanced offense with backups Lamar Gordon and Arlen Harris at the tailback spot. Archuleta has missed two games with a sprained ankle. He is the Rams best tackler in the secondary.
"I'm getting tired of being the assistant running backs coach, standing around and just watching the other guys," said Faulk, who has been able to participate in some segments of practice the last two weeks. "It's time to get back out there."
St. Louis could be without defensive linemen Leonard Little (torn pectoral muscle) and Damione Lewis (ankle sprain) for the game.
Oakland Raiders: Raiders signed defensive tackle Sean Gilbert on Tuesday to bolster their depleted defensive line.
The 33-year-old Gilbert hasn't played in 2003 after spending the
previous five seasons with the Carolina Panthers. The Raiders,
reeling at 2-5, have worked out several players in recent days.
Defensive tackle John Parrella has a torn groin muscle and it's
unclear when he will return or whether his injury will require
surgery. DT Dana Stubblefield is recovering from an ankle injury
and defensive end Sam Williams' knee is hurting.
New York Jets: ESPN.com has learned that defensive tackle Josh Evans, suspended by the league indefinitely, will meet with NFL officials next week and likely will be reinstated. Evans, twice suspended earlier in his career, could be back at practice with the Jets by next week.
The return of Evans, who led New York defensive linemen with 58 tackles last season and also collected a career-best six sacks, would be a significant boost for a Jets unit that has again struggled versus the run. It would permit a solid three-man tackle rotation that would include Jason Ferguson and first-round draft choice Dewayne Robertson.
Evans has been working out regularly in the hope he would be reinstated around the middle of the season.
Defensive end John Abraham will miss the game against the New York Giants on Sunday with a strained right groin.
The Jets said Tuesday that results from an MRI exam showed the
strain. He will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.
Tennessee Titans: Oliver Luck, the former Houston Oilers quarterback and NFL Europe League official, will not be joining the Titans' front office, as had been anticipated.
Just two weeks ago, Titans owner Bud Adams announced that he had retained Luck, who is currently the chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority, to wrap up negotiations with the Gaylord Entertainment Center for the arena league team Adams hopes to place there. But in a surprising move, Luck declined to accept the post with the Titans, after much consideration.
There have been widespread rumors that Luck was being groomed to assume the role of Titans team president in 2004. Current team president Jeff Diamond is in the final season of his contract and the consensus is he will not be back with the Titans next year.
Carolina Panthers: Despite a second concussion in two weeks, middle linebacker Dan Morgan is expected to practice this week, even though his status for the Panthers' game Sunday with the Houston Texans has not yet been determined.
Morgan exited last Sunday's game at New Orleans after a collision with Saints wideout Joe Horn in the end zone. Morgan has suffered a spate of injuries since entering the NFL as the Panthers' first-round choice in the 2001 draft, and part of his bad luck might be the reckless manner in which he performs.
"I would like to think it's more a case of bad luck," coach John Fox said. "This is a pretty violent game. It's a physical game and injuries are a part of it. I'm sure it is frustrating for him, but I don't think he is doing wrong, or that we're doing wrong (in playing him)."
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Safety John Lynch and receiver Joe Jurevicius are expected to return to practice this week, coach Jon Gruden said Monday in a St. Petersburg Times report.
Lynch missed Sunday's 16-0 victory against the Cowboys with a damaged nerve in his right shoulder. Jurevicius has missed five games since tearing the MCL in his right knee Sept.14.
The status of both was upgraded for Sunday's game against the Saints -- Lynch to probable and Jurevicius to questionable.
Jones a free agent: Offensive tackle Kenyatta Jones, released over the weekend by the New England Patriots, has cleared waivers and is free to sign with any team now. That the talented Jones was not claimed on waivers is likely a reflection of the fact he faces assault charges following a recent incident in which he allegedly dumped scalding water on a live-in assistant.
Jones had been on the physically unable to perform list, rehabilitating from surgeries to both knees, and was ready to resume practicing this week.
As a former starter, and at a position that is difficult to fill, Jones probably will generate interest as a free agent. Most teams, however, will delay in working him out until legal charges are resolved. Agent Hadley Engelhard told ESPN.com that he already has fielded inquiries from several teams about his client.
New Orleans Saints: The Saints suspended DT Grady Jackson for one game, meaning he will miss Sunday's game against defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay.
Saints officials said Jackson was suspended for "conduct
detrimental to the team" but offered no details.
He was suspended without pay.
Jackson and his agent Bus Cook did not return calls from the
Associated Press.
Jackson missed Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers after
surgery to correct a sprained ligament in small finger of his left
hand. Coach Jim Haslett and other team officials believe Jackson could
have played with the injury. Jackson had
surgery Wednesday to reattach the ligament.
Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings waived kickoff specialist Jose Cortez on Tuesday.
Cortez was signed Oct. 17 to relieve Aaron Elling of his kickoff
duties while the rookie recovered from back spasms. Elling, who
kicked for Wyoming in college, continued to handle field goals and
extra points, and he was healthy enough this week for the Vikings
to let go of Cortez.
The team will decide Wednesday how to fill his roster spot,
probably by activating running back Michael Bennett, coach Mike
Tice said. Bennett is expected to make his first appearance of the
season Sunday night against Green Bay after recovering from a
broken left foot.
--Associated Press
Philadelphia Eagles: Philadelphia put defensive lineman Hollis Thomas on injured reserve today and signed veteran
Jim Flanigan to take his place.
Thomas needs season-ending surgery after tearing his left biceps
in the final minute of Philadelphia's victory over the New York
Jets on Sunday.
Thomas, a key run stopper, becomes the fourth member of the
Eagles' defensive line to be lost for the season. Defensive ends
Derrick Burgess and Jamaal Green went down in the preseason and
defensive tackle Paul Grasmanis was hurt in the second week of the
--Associated Press
Buffalo Bills: Safety Lawyer Milloy was fined $25,000 for knocking over an official in Buffalo's 24-7 win against Washington on Oct. 19.
Milloy wasn't penalized for the play, and declined to comment on
The NFL said it happened during a running play in the third
quarter in which Milloy made "impermissible physical contact with
a game official."
Milloy is the second Bills player in consecutive weeks to
receive the same fine. Safety Izell Reese was fined for
impermissible contact during Buffalo's 30-3 loss to the New York Jets on Oct. 12.
