Al Horford seems to be getting to work with his new Boston Celtics teammates. Second-year guard R.J. Hunter posted a picture to his Instagram account showing the pair alongside teammates Amir Johnson and Jae Crowder. Sweat-drenched Hunter looks to have gone through a fairly rigorous workout.
Chris Forsberg ESPN Staff Writer
The Celtics mourned the passing of longtime parquet caretaker Rudolph "Spider" Edwards on Wednesday. Edwards, instantly recognizable with his trademark fedora, swept the Garden parquet for 33 years and remained a familiar presence even after hanging up his broom. Edwards did a ceremonial sweep of the Garden parquet last October when the Celtics unveiled only the third parquet in team history. Edwards was beloved by players (Larry Bird, among them), fans, and executives alike. As Celtics assistant GM Mike Zarren wrote on Twitter Wednesday, "When I was 4 years old, the only thing I wanted in the whole world was to be Spider for a day. Really."
Garoppolo needs more protection

Belichick: Priority now is to get Garoppolo ready
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday that the team's priority is to get Jimmy Garoppolo ready.
Tom Brady's opener streak will end at 14
No quarterback has started more consecutive season openers with his current team than Brady, whose streak began in 2002. Eli Manning will take over as the new active leader due to Brady's suspension.
Mike Reiss ESPN New England Patriots reporter
Patriots OC Josh McDaniels on QB reps in practice: "This is really the time of the year where we really try to provide everyone with their foundation for the whole year, so our philosophy really is going to remain unchanged for a while here, in terms of repetitions. We usually split them up pretty evenly. We don't really put anybody in first and second groups, or third groups, at this point. What we really try to focus on is getting everybody opportunities to work on their fundamentals and techniques, and to work with the different players on our team because we don't know right now who's going to be doing what six, seven weeks from now. They're both going to get plenty of reps and so is Jacoby [Brissett]. We're going to do what we've normally done in the past and all those guys have things we can get better at, and we're excited to coach them all and to work with every one of them."
Does anyone want to win the AL Cy Young?
Three of the top candidates for the award -- Steven Wright, Danny Salazar and Chris Tillman -- pitched Tuesday, and each struggled. Wright gave up eight runs for the second time in 2016 and saw his league-leading 2.67 ERA rise to 3.12. Five things we learned Tuesday

Mike Reiss ESPN New England Patriots reporter
Bill Belichick on the QB situation: "We had, finally, some definition with Tom's situation, so our priority now is to get Jimmy [Garoppolo] ready for the start of the season, for the Arizona game [Sept. 11]. That will be, obviously, a comprehensive process. Tom will return as the starting quarterback when he comes back, but in the meantime, we have to prioritize the first part of our schedule and that will be to get Jimmy ready to go."
Mike Reiss ESPN New England Patriots reporter
In his first remarks since Tom Brady's four-game suspension was upheld by the court, Bill Belichick said Brady will return as the starter in Week 5. At the same time, team's goal is to get Jimmy Garoppolo ready for the first four games.

Self-Storage Operating in the PINKAll business owners understand what it means to operate in either the red or the black, but this month some self-storage operators are learning what it means to operate in the pink by participating in community efforts surrounding National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Learn what fellow storage professionals are doing to help and how you, too, can get involved.
Troubleshooting Common Self-Storage Talk ProblemsSet up in front of a computer on the exhibit hall floor, I was able to get several people re-engaged in SST. But in case I missed you in Tacoma and you're having one of the common forum-related problems, I thought I'd address some of the frequently stated problems.
Word About Self-Storage Talk Spreads at Inside Self-Storage World Expo in TacomaAs I sit in the back of a seminar room at the Inside Self-Storage World Expo in Tacoma, Wash., I am ecstatic that so many presenters are, first of all, members and participants of Self-Storage Talk and second, have mentioned (and sometimes elaborated about) SST in their presentations. Self-Storage Talk is the largest online community in the industry and the official online forum of Inside Self-Storage.
Can You Really Afford to Miss the ISS Expo?Next week in Tacoma, Wash., hundreds of self-storage operators and other industry professionals will meet at the Inside Self-Storage World Expo to learn strategies and gather information that will immediately improve their businesses. But some of you can actually afford to miss out on this important opportunity. Think you're one of them? Read on and see.
Self-Storage Talk to Play Active Role at Next Week's ISS ExpoUpcoming events and conferences are always exciting for the industry. But next week's Inside Self-Storage World Expo in Tacoma, Wash. (Oct. 4-6), is especially important for Self-Storage Talk, the industry's largest online community. SST, the official forum of Inside Self-Storage, will play a notable role in the three-day event's agenda, and the gathering will provide an opportunity for many industry pros (and SST members) to catch up or be introduced for the first time.
Need Some 'Likes' for Your Facility Facebook Page? Head to Self-Storage TalkBusinesses across all industries and sectors are trying to connect with their customers through social media, and self-storage is no exception. Seemingly every day new self-storage-facility fan or business pages are added to Facebook. Of course, just having a Facebook page isn't enough. Facilities must draw possible customers and Facebook users to the page to interact with them. And as a business, the way to give customers and potential customers access to your Facebook content is to get them to "like" you, a subject currently being tackled on Self-Storage Talk.
Legal Mistakes Can Be Costly in Self-Storage … in More Ways Than oneIn self-storage as in most businesses, mistakes can be chalked up to "experience" and viewed as a learning opportunity, but they can also have a long-reaching effect that damages public image and company profitability. Our business is fraught with potentially pricey legal risk. Get guidance to help you avoid it.

New $1.1m TV ad will air in Virginia over ten days
WASHINGTON – American Crossroads today launched a new television ad in Virginia that blasts President Obama for his failed economic policies, and demonstrates that contrary to Obama's "Forward" campaign slogan, America is really moving backward on his watch.
Supported by a $1.1 million television buy, the new 30-second ad will run in Virginia for ten days. The spot, entitled "Forward?," highlights a series of economic facts on the extent of Obama's economic malaise, including that 40% of families are living paycheck to paycheck on Obama's watch.
"For Barack Obama, 'Forward' is the new backward, because another four years of Obama's economic policies will only keep moving America backward," said American Crossroads director of state and regional media relations Nate Hodson. "Obama's hollow campaign slogan is another attempt to divert attention from the fact that during Obama's tenure, unemployment, household incomes, gas prices and the national debt are all getting worse."
American Crossroads is a non-profit 527 political organization dedicated to renewing America's commitment to individual liberty, limited government, free enterprise and a strong national defense through informed and effective political action. American Crossroads seeks to educate voters and empower citizens to hold lawmakers and office-seekers accountable for where they stand. Paid for by American Crossroads.

Providing every American freedom of choice in health care.
Read more about Health Care
The United States spends $2.6 trillion on health care, roughly 17 percent of the gross domestic product. Additionally, government is responsible for approximately 50 cents out of every dollar spent on health care because of the huge and rapidly growing government health care programs: Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, and state and public health care programs. The result of so much government control is that health care is one of the most highly regulated sectors of the American economy. Government financing means government control, and government control means less personal freedom.
1.Transform private health insurance so that individuals and families are able to own and control their own policies and take them from job to job without tax or regulatory penalties. Currently, nine percent of Americans directly purchase their own health insurance. We want this figure to increase to 50 percent in 10 years.
2.Transform health care financing to create new opportunities for individuals and families so they control the flow of dollars into the system. Currently, only $3.50 out of every $100 is spent by individuals for the direct purchase of private coverage. We want to increase that amount to $50 out of every $100 over the next 10 years.
3.Transform Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP so that individuals and families have a broad choice of health plans and providers and that those providers are directly accountable to patients for their quality of care.

Celebrity Chimp Goes on Rampage, Is Shot Dead
The oddest story of the week, perhaps the month, is that of Travis, a chimpanzee who was unaccountably kept as a pet by a couple in Stamford, Connecticut. In 2003 he was riding in a car with his owners when, enraged by a young man who threw something at him, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and "ran around a downtown intersection for two hours" before authorities, despite lacking a tranquilizer gun, subdued him and took him into custody. Permits are required for such exotic animal companions in Stamford, but Sandra and Jerome Herold had enjoyed the unpermitted company of the chimp since the 1990s and were apparently grandfathered in.
Travis seemed rehabilitated, and appeared in TV commercials for Old Navy and Coca-Cola. But it was reported that he had become a wine drinker and a user of the internet, which has deformed many another sterling character. Yesterday the 200-pound
monkey ape got into "a rambunctious mood," Sandra Herold told the Times, took the keys to his house and let himself out. This time, as he tried local car doors, presumably seeking a ride, Herold called a family friend, Charla Nash, to come over and give Travis some Xanax tea. It is suspected that Nash's change in hairstyle made her difficult for Travis to recognize; maybe he was just fed up. He attacked and critically injured Nash, chewing on her face. After trying to resolve the situation herself with a kitchen knife, Herold called the cops. Stamford Police Captain Richard Conklin responded and Travis climbed into a cop car and started attacking an officer, who responded with gunfire.
Travis made a last run for freedom, but was later discovered in
a local wooded area his home, having succumbed to his injuries.
As often happens with celebrities, some are making excuses for Travis. "May it serve as a reminder to us all that some animals are not meant to and cannot be domesticated," says Fame Watcher, and a Lyme Disease site suggests Travis' recent bout with the illness, or the medication he was taking for it, may have influenced his judgment.

Bleak weather and a move to Dunedin's Middle Beach failed to
dampen the spirits of swimmers at the annual Polar Plunge
St Clair Surf Lifesaving Club chairman Anthony Mason said 600
people braved the miserable conditions.
Most swimmers stayed in the water for about five minutes but
a few had a 20-minute frolic.
The change of location because of sea-wall damage at the
Esplanade at St Clair had made the event easier to run
because the registration stalls were sheltered from the gusty
onshore easterly wind behind sand dunes.
''If we'd been on the Esplanade, the wind would have been
howling. It would have been awful.''
The club collected about $1000 in donations yesterday, which
was less than usual.
''It's slightly under, but for us it was about making sure
the event ran.''
At the Polar Plunge starting line yesterday, hula girls
huddled and people in pyjamas waited for a wintry wake-up.
Miner Mike Cowie, of Dunedin, said he finished a night shift
underground yesterday morning then changed into a pink
tooth-fairy costume for the plunge. He reported conditions
were ''warmer than last year''.
St Hilda's Collegiate School pupils also wore pink for the
plunge to support principal Melissa Bell in her fight against
Stairs on the St Clair sea wall were damaged further at the
weekend and may be removed, Graeme Hamilton, Dunedin City
Council transportation operations manager, says.
Mr Hamilton said the stairway nearest the salt water swimming
pool, at the southern end of the wall, was loose and
might have to be removed for safety reasons.
The council was aware an unusually high tide was expected
this week.
''We'll do as much as we can in between now and then,'' he
Repair work on the sea wall stopped yesterday because of the

well that's just, like, your opinion, man
OSU DT Tommy Schutt out 6-8 Weeks with Broken Foot
Looks like the injury bug has hit a position with very little depth for OSU. Tommy Schutt was looking to be their starter at one of the DT positions (link says he was a backup at both, but I'm not sure I really believe that, he was going to play significantly and probably eventually start). They have little depth around him and almost no experience even with him. Going into the season, DT was probably their biggest concern, even more than an OL with serious depth issues. Well, that situation just got worse.
The OOC schedule is still easy, but teams like Wisconson, NW, Iowa, and PSU are the first four up in B1G play. Even when Schutt comes back he's unlikely to be 100%. While OSU has playmakers in the back end and in the pass rush, their lack of experience in the middle made them potentially weak against the run. Against the B1G teams listed above you don't want to be weak against the run. Wisconsin could pull out a big victory; NW, while being more of an outside run team, could potentially get OL to the LB level; Iowa is still good at blocking in the interior and with a few lucky bounces could be in a game they have no business being in; and PSU may be able to run the ball to take some pressure off their young QBs.
I still wouldn't expect many loses from that group of games, because the offense is still the offense. But this gives teams a chance and likely makes victory that much harder for the Buckeyes. Hate to see injuries regardless, but this is a big one for OSU.
Injury Report (Darboh, Black, Shallman, Morris, Bryant)
Not much information, but more than I think previously posted here. In summary...
Amara Darboh WR - undisclosed injury during scrimmage on Saturday, has not practiced since. Unofficial reports of him in a boot around campus.
Jabreel Black DT - sat out Saturday's scrimmage with an undisclosed injury, and has not practiced this week.
Wyatt Shallman RB - not practicing due to undiclosed injury.
Shane Morris QB - sat out of scrimmage "as a precaution" with a finger injury... "could have gone."
Chris Bryant G - prior knee injury, back in practice.
That is all.
Can Gardner Threaten Defenses on Read-Option Looks Without Carrying the Ball?
Can a conservative gameplan designed to protect Gardner's health still utilize Gardner's running ability as a threat to influence defenses?
This question came up, most recently, in today's Hokepoints thread. MCalibur argued for a much more intense use of Gardner as a runner, and was universally shot down by people like me who believe that a significant Gardner injury basically ends Michigan's season.
But can he force teams to account for him in the running game anyway?
Grantland has an interesting piece from Chris Brown of Smart Football that seeks to discern what kind of offense Chip Kelly will run in Philadelphia this year. One of the interesting revelations is that Chip can run his basic scheme with or without a running quarterback without changing its basic tenets. And, further, that Chip strongly preferred that his QBs in Oregon hand off, regardless of the actions of the unblocked defender.
And the statistics bear this out. Oregon's two most successful years occurred under the guidance of perhaps the least impressive, and certainly the slowest, quarterback of the Chip Kelly era: Darron Thomas. Thomas wasn't exactly Tom Brady in the pocket, but he wasn't a gamebreaker either, and those of us who watched Oregon in those years remember how infrequently he made plays with his feet.
Oregon won the Rose Bowl at the conclusion of its 2011 season; I don't think any of us would be disappointed with that kind of result this year. Darron Thomas that year? 56 carries, 206 yards, 3 touchdowns.
Yet Oregon was not lining up in the I-formation. They were running their diet of inside and outside zone reads, inside zone gives, and occasional reverses. Thomas wasn't a huge threat, but his presence required the coverage, or at least hesitation, of the unblocked defender; the result was space for LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner to run through.
Michigan does not run the spread concept anymore, and we do not have LaMichael James in our backfield, but the principle is the same. If the rumors of a pistol look are true, I would be unsurprised (but overjoyed) to see Michigan running pistol read-option looks to its tailbacks where Gardner almost always gives. This uses Gardner's speed as a threat while still keeping his running totals low. Frankly, as Kelly does, the only time Gardner would ever pull would be when the defense completely ignores him--and then he has the space to make them pay, and to protect himself. Two or three of those carries a game and the concept has done its job.
Combine those carries with perhaps one or two designed draws and Gardner's propensity for scrambling and you have 8-10 low-risk carries per game but also a fully realized threat that the defense must account for on every play.
The Atlantic article on how NCAA abandons athletes after injuries
There is a great article from The Atlantic about NCAA players who get abandoned to fend for themselves after they are injured. It is a pretty damning portrayals on how universities take advantage of naive kids and families. I don't understand why NCAA cannot provide 5 year free insurance coverage for athletes after they graduate if they are injured during their athletic career.
To relate this back to us, if Michigan does things the right way (but I do not have any real evidence that we do - just hope that we do things the right way and how we have handled Austin Hatch so far makes me believe that we do), shouldn't this be a real emphasis during recruiting?
Additionally, shouldn't sites like Mgoblog keep track of stories like this so that recruits can make informed decisions when it comes to which schools keep promises and which schools don't? I would hope doing would help Michigan be even more attractive to kids.
OT - Washington Post Piece about Medical Standards in the NFL
The Washington Post has a long piece about how injuries in the NFL may not be treated the same way as they would outside of football. The injury to RGIII in the Skins' playoff game has been the subject of much debate.
Do no harm? NFL's medical dilemma.
There is medicine, and then there is NFL medicine, and the practice of the two isn't always the same — a conflict that was never more apparent than during a January playoff game.
Below is a link to a graphic in the article showing injuries by year, by position and by average weeks a player is on an NFL injury report.
OT - Hugh Freeze pulls scholarship offer over knee injury
So, this story just came up today and I thought I'd get MGoBlog's opinion on it.
Ole Miss Head Coach Hugh Freeze has pulled a scholarship offer to a 2013 LB from Georgia due to an ACL tear. Big deal, right? Happens all the time. A coach can't be signing injured players.
Here's the thing. Freeze and his staff were completely aware of the ACL tear at the time that the offer was made, and they never indicated that the offer was condidtional on the knee healing in a certain time or way. Furthermore, team doctors indicated that it was healing properly and on schedule, and were not concerned. It's not like it appeared to be going bad. The kid played last season on it because he was mistakenly told it was just a sprain, and he was able to show enough to earn an offer even with the tear. Now Freeze is getting cold feet.
What's your feeling on this? I don't have a problem with a coach pulling an offer if a kid gets hurt, but making the offer when you know he's hurt and then pulling it later when you suddenly get cold feet puts me off.

GALLE, Sri Lanka Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath continued his love affair with the Galle International Cricket Stadium as he took five for 65 to help dismiss New Zealand for 221 on the opening day of the first Test on Saturday.
The left-armer's effort was his fourth five-wicket haul in eight matches at the venue and means 40 of his 159 Test wickets have come there.
New Zealand struck back late on with Tim Southee dismissing Sri Lanka debutant Dimuth Karunaratne leg-before wicket for nought as the home side reached nine for one at close of play.
"I really like it (here in Galle)," Herath told reporters. "I made my (test) debut here and most of the time I have done well here in Galle.
"We've done well. If we can get runs tomorrow we are well ahead in the game," he added.
Herath was the man who dismissed New Zealand's top-scorers, Brendon McCullum (68) and Daniel Flynn (53), and was well supported by seam bowlers Shaminda Eranga (three for 51) and Nuwan Kulasekara (two for 31).
McCullum was dismissed the ball after hitting Herath straight for six, beaten and bowled by a ball which turned and beat the outside edge, while Flynn was caught behind by wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardena in the over before tea.
McCullum, who opened the innings, hit eight fours and two sixes in an innings which mixed positivity with watchful defence while Flynn passed a half-century for the first time in Tests in more than three years, facing 152 balls and hitting seven fours.
"It was not the batting performance we were after as you win the toss in Galle and hope to get more than 400," McCullum said.
"The pitch was good. It turned more than you might expect on day one but you also expect that in the sub-continent.
"We have to look forward to tomorrow and it is a big first hour for us to try and expose the Sri Lanka middle-order. If we can then that will make today's disappointment easier to handle."
New Zealand, looking to make amends after a 3-0 defeat in a rain-scarred one-day series, started well with captain Ross Taylor winning the toss in hot and sunny conditions and on a pitch expected to be at its best on the first three days.
But they quickly stumbled to 40 for three as Eranga dismissed Martin Guptill (11) and Kane Williamson (0) in the space of three balls, both to catches behind the wicket, while Taylor (9) was bowled through the gate playing a loose drive at Kulasekara.
McCullum and Flynn resurrected the innings with a stand of 90 in 33 overs either side of lunch but when both men, together with James Franklin - who laboured for 43 balls for three before Herath trapped him leg before wicket - fell in the afternoon session, the writing was on the wall for the touring side.
The disappointing total continued New Zealand's struggles with the bat during this calendar year as they have now posted only three scores of 300 or more in nine Tests in 2012.
The second match of the series takes place in Colombo starting on 25 November.

Rosberg takes pole for home race ahead of Hamilton
Nico Rosberg set a scorching pace under pressure on Saturday to seize pole position, ahead of Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton, in qualifying for his home German Formula One Grand Prix. Full Article

Mercedes star Rosberg got a perfect start to claim the lead from team-mate and pole-sitter Hamilton, and never looked troubled thereafter.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo originally claimed what seemed an impressive second place in front of his home crowd, but was later stripped of his accolade as a subsequent investigation showed that his car had consistent exceeded the maximum allowable fuel flow rate allowed under 2014 rules.
That left McLaren's Kevin Magnussen, originally third, with a stunning second place on his F1 debut, with Jenson Button close behind in third.
The shocks of the race were the early retirements of Hamilton and Vettel, however, both of whom suffered misfiring cylinders that saw them missing pace from the start.
Fernando Alonso was promoted to fourth after Ricciardo fell foul of stewards, but perhaps the performance of the day came from Vallteri Bottas, who came fifth after twice scything through almost the entire field - once at the start of the race, and then again after hitting a wall, losing his right rear tyre and limping into the pits.
The winner's joy was evident after as easy a win as could be imagined.
"Fantastic! What a car you've given me! What a car!" Rosberg yelled down the radio to his team after taking the chequered flag.
"It's great to have such an amazing silver arrow to drive," Rosberg added on the podium. "This thing was just unbelievably quick and the reliability was great as well."
Ricciardo had been delighted after making the podium in his home race.
"Two or three weeks ago I'd have bet everything I owned that we wouldn't be standing here now," said the Aussie. "It's been an incredible turnaround - I don't know how Red Bull have done it, but they have."
Clearly the answer to that question is, at least in part, that Red Bull must have cut one too many corners to produce an incredible turnaround between testing and the opening race.
Magnussen was thrilled with his display: "The car was just so much better than it has been," he said. "Big congratulations to the team for a great job."
Hamilton had a very different opening race, however, though he remained philosophical.
"I was driving on five cylinders - it's a bit unfortunate, but that's racing," he said.
"It's just a hiccup. There's a long way to go... I'm not concerned about anything."
Vettel tried to stay cool despite his clear frustration at the retirement after a rotten weekend that saw him qualify down in 13th.
"We lost power. We didn't understand why - cars kept passing me... At one stage I thought there was a slight improvement but then it was clear there was a big problem with the engine," he said.
Hamilton and Vettel both added that they are confident the issues could be solved quickly - and given the excellent pace of their team-mates, that seems more than likely.
Rosberg, tipped to duel with team mate Hamilton for the championship, celebrated his fourth race victory and first since last year's British Grand Prix, when he was also the beneficiary of technical mishaps to Hamilton and Vettel.
The gaping margin of victory underscored Mercedes' superior preparations for F1's technical revolution, which saw all teams struggle during winter testing with the new V6 turbocharged hybrid engines.
The glitches continued as only 14 of the 22 cars finished on a gusty day at the bumpy street circuit which was doused by a brief rain-shower early in the race.
Hamilton, who snatched pole position at the end of a wet qualifying session on Saturday, noticeably lacked power on his start and was called in by his team to retire on the third lap.
Vettel, starting twelfth after a grid penalty for one of the cars just ahead of him, also struggled at the start and retired only a few laps after Hamilton, complaining of engine performance problems.
That snapped a nine-race winning streak for the German dating back to the Belgian Grand Prix in August.
Ricciardo thrilled home fans by seemingly taking his maiden podium spot in his first race weekend with Red Bull and drove with admirable composure after being challenged by Magnussen over the closing laps.
Magnussen's podium, the first by a Dane in Formula One and the team's first since 2012, was intially thought to be an exact match of Hamilton's first F1 race for McLaren in 2007 when the Briton qualified fourth and finished third. In the end, Magnussen went one better by earning second place.
Williams driver Bottas's fifth place was his best F1 result ever, and an outstanding race from 15th on the grid. His points haul was more than his team scored in all of last season.
The race began farcically, with Marussia driver Max Chilton stalling on the grid before the pre-start installation lap and his team mate Jules Bianchi then repeating the mishap, forcing a second formation lap.
Both Marussias started from pit-lane behind Lotus's Romain Grosjean, who was also dealt a drive-through penalty for leaving his garage prior to the 15-minute signal before the race.
Japan's Kamui Kobayashi lived up to his reputation as a combustible racer by ploughing into the back of Felipe Massa's Williams at the start, taking both drivers out of the race at the first corner and prompting an FIA investigation.

Des Plaines Theatre Study Funding Temporarily on Hold
DES PLAINES, IL – Aldermen in Des Plaines have decided to hold off on providing up to $60,000 in funds to study the viability of converting the historic Des Plaines Theatre into a performing arts venue until they learn if the theater's new owner, Dhitu Bagwakar, plans to follow the study's recommendations.
According to a report in the Daily Herald, Bagwakar is currently screening East Indian features at the twin theater. Many of the alderman have issues about giving funds to a private business, as well as the need for another performing arts center in the area, after the new Metropolis Theater in nearby downtown Arlington Heights failed.
That venue is currently in the midst of a debate over whether the city of Arlington Heights should take over the Metropolis or it should be taken over by another private organization.

Data from a Burkard volumetric sampler in a densely built-up area of North-central London, England are used to investigate the effects of rainfall on pollen concentrtions over four years. Pollen counts generally decreased with rainfall, although several episodes of increased pollen concentration have been recorded in London following the onset of precipitation.
Pollen concentration is recorded as two-hourly pollen counts, while hourly records of nine meteorological variables, including rainfall amount and intensity, are obtained from the London site of the Meteorological Office. The two-hourly changes in concentration that take place during both «normal» rainfall events and during those displaying marked increases in pollen concentration are examined in relation to the patterns of rainfall, the wind regimes, synoptic situation and general characteristics of urban areas.
The influence of rainfall in removing pollen from the air is also examined in relation to the rainfall intensity and size of pollen grains for selected taxa.

I'm using VPN for increased online security but whenever the VPN server fails the connection for some seconds, some application fall back to the original connection and can reveal my real IP.
My OS is Windows 7 and I've found this tutorial, but using some third party components may theoretically work after they are started and before that some connections can already be made, e.g. if bittorrent start first, and that's what I'm trying to avoid. I'd like not to use windows firewall for this task, as it seems to be an overkill.
Is there a way to change main connection settings so that it is only used for VPN? Or is there a way to solve the problem on the router level? I have a basic Asus router sharing internet between different PC.

First of all, let me thank you for such a nice theme.
But, while configuring it, I've noticed a bug in the theme: when i resize the window, to check how the theme appears in different devices, between 850px (roughly) and 768px (roughly), the header gets really big, and that doesn't look nice. There are many devices using the 800px resolution, and that means the site will display poorly in those devices.
Have you noticed this problem?
I have checked in firefox and opera. the same thing happens in both browsers.
I tried with and without site description.
I also checked if reducing the number of items in menu solved the problem. It didn't.
Can you check this issue please, and give me some feedback?
Best regards,

Skip to comments.Heat's James apologizes for insensitive remarks
Posted on 05/10/2011 9:14:17 AM PDT by Mind Freed
LeBron James says he's sorry for using the word "retarded" in a postgame news conference.
The Miami Heat star muttered the word after Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals as he and Dwyane Wade listened to a question about Wade's takedown of Boston guard Rajon Rondo.
James had his hand covering his mouth when he said "that's retarded" as a reporter asked Wade whether the play that dislocated Rondo's elbow was dirty.
After Game 4 on Monday night, James opened his postgame comments by apologizing for using "the R-word."
(Excerpt) Read more at nba.com ...
Is it alright if you say "That comment was R-Word".
You may have found the question retarded but many of us saw your teammate's action as ghetto....
BTW, LeBron, your Mom and Delonte still throwing down?
So, if a fully-functioning journalist asks a stupid question, and someone responds "That's retarded" -- exactly who jumps to the thought that people with special needs have just been insulted??
For my money, the people who are PC are the people who are quickest to engage in the type of thought that they themselves despise.
That's retarded.
The word "retarded" has legitimate descriptive use. It refers to something that has not met it's full growth potential.
It can be used callously, crudely, as an insult, or as a put down, but it is not a word that exists outside of a real meaning that is clearly defined.
I hate political correctness for the damage it has done to language and communication. It's ridiculous and retards the vocabulary of people.
Because it's James, though, I hope the PC police lynch him. Metaphorically, of course.
"Retarded" means mental or physically delayed. So if you think a question is retarded, then its deficient of intellectual response.
Makes sense to me.
LeBron is still a thug, but this is ridiculous with how we've watered down the language.
Do you think Lebron would quietly accept anyone else's use of the "N" word? It is blacks who promoted the use of politically correct speech, now they can live with it.
Allen pulled Rondo down b/c 1. Rondo had a hold of Allen as well, 2. Allen was trying to get the foul call on Rondo. It wasn't "ghetto" and he wasn't trying to dislocate Rondo's arm.
A simple response of, "Is that a ^serious^ question?" directed to the simpering media beotch would have been sufficient.
These guys need media consultants (I'm available...)
I don't think it's fair to call LeBron a thug. He's never done anything thuggish, and never been in trouble with the law. He's actually a good kid.
But he is totally full of himself, and, for an aspiring global icon, doesn't have a lot of media savvy.
It was not a dirty play.
Well the Heat better know the Mavs are coming, and revenge is a dish best served cold.
I get your point, but I wouldn't say that not using the N word is bowing to political correctness.
I can accept someone using the word "retard". I don't accept people using the N word (black or white).
Subsitute Wade for Allen.
I'm a Dallas native currently living in LA.
Last week was the best week of my life (basketball wise), watching the Mavs b-slap the Fakers, and shut these silly, fair-weather Lakers fans the hell up.
Go Mavs! Bring on the Heat.
Yes, LeBron needs some serious media training. Nothing made that more apparent than "The Decision."
Still, it was a retarded question. Technically.
LOL, looks like the Clippers are going to be the best LA team for the next few years.
I still don't like Mark Cuban, but I want this one for Dirk.
Most decent people don't use the "n" word, so in that I agree with you, but it is the political hate speech that has turned it into such a big deal. Any politician who has ever said anything remotely racist in their entire lives has it thrown at them until the resign. I'm pointing out that Lebron has benefitted from the use of hate speech protection while he listens to rap filled with that very word. So to me, he is just getting a little taste of what being politically correct actually means. We should all care enough to watch what we say, I agree with that premise, but using it to ruin someone (conservative) is pathetic.
The Clippers are my team. My wife and I had season tickets from 2001 - 2007.
But we still watch every game, and we are soooo excited about Blake Griffin (even though he's a Sooner - barf).
But I still have a soft spot for the Mavs. They are my playoff darling. And I'll root for ANY team that plays the Lakers, even Boston.
::: Still, it was a retarded question. Technically. :::
Agreed! Recognition by the individual needs to be couched in appropriate response given the timing.
Case-in Point: McEnroe's "You cannot be serious!" A well timed and delivered "expletive". It became a classic.
The funniest thing I saw all week regarding political correctness was that utterly goofy public service announcement by the Lakers, all because Kobe used the "F" word. (faggot) Talk about AWKWARD!
If the two highest profile American atheletes like Kobe and 'Bron can't buck Political Correctness, then we should just go ahead and confirm an approved list of neutral words we are allowed to say. Hey, didn't Kobe and 'Bron skip college? (they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer anyway)
You watching the Noah vs Horford series? If not for the Mavs, I would be rooting for the Bulls, just to see Joakim do his crazy dance again.
In my opinion it was very dirty. He deliberately put his leg behind Rondo then pushed him back so he would trip over it. Watch the replay.
Yeah, good series, win-win for a Gator like me.
Rondo deserved it. After the ball went out of bounds, Rondo had his right elbow to Wade's upper back, and his left arm around Wade's waist. Rondo took Wade to the floor. All Wade did was take Rondo with him.
You or anybody else can see it in this video. The slow motion replay starts at 42 seconds.
And Corey Brewer is on the Mavs, although he doesn't get a lot of minutes.
Totally agree. Trent Lott and Macaca are two great examples.
Several black basketball players have been taken to the wood-shed for "anti-gay" comments, most recently Kobe Bryant.
PC has run amok.
It appeared to me to be a simple accident.
Well maybe James is just niggardly with his vocabulary...
How do you know he listens to rap?
Somehow I don't picture him listening to Prog Rock.
I am willing to be surprised.......
LeBron likes 80's music, particularly Cyndi Lauper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKnolC_PrPU
I would never call someone a name that would offend, that is rude and uncalled for. I do use the word Retard...I call my dog that all the time, or tease my grown children with "are you sure you're not a little tar- tar?" F----ot is not a word I commonly use, and it is incredibly stupid that I have to self censor the usage of it. I more than likely use the word Queer, which means strange and really out of the norm. It fits well for homosexuals. The N word, I use the same way black people do in popular culture....What's up my "nigga", whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Nearly every one of my childrens friends use that term in greeting, so it is something not exactly nice that I kind of started using when greeting them.....it makes them laugh anyway...so it can't be bad....even their black friends laugh most heartily. Maybe I am now even in trouble for calling African Americans a color...black.....See we will never win, if we are always in full retreat.
Yes, Wade looked like he was leg sweeping in retaliation for tough defense.....WHAT A PUNK.
An elbow to the back and arm around the body when the ball is out of bounds isn't defense, tough or otherwise.
Actually, the rules are enforced so that placing your hands on a persons back is a foul, but you can place your elbow in the small of their back to "check" them. An arm loosely draped around someones waist is maybe a foul, but no reason to leg whip said person....PUNK MOVE...you must be Heat fan. No other reason you could think that or write that.
Are you suggesting he is the only professional, black athlete who does not listen to rap?
What you do in your home is your business - as I said before, it is nice to see the politically correct speech demanded of us all come back to sock these guys in the gut.... Gay is the new Black -
Elbow near the head. Arm around the waist. The ball is behind the ref and he's shielded from seeing what Rondo is doing.
Rondo with a handful of jersey, pulling Wade to the floor (Wade is off balance), and still shielded from the ref. Wade never made leg contact with Rondo. He did wrap his right arm around Rondo as he was halfway to the ground. Rondo should have been ejected, fined, and suspended on top of the injury he brought on himself.
What a sad commentary on society and pro sports and the media today..
Cool....havn't seen much of the Mavs yet.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Swine Flu: How Long Are You Infectious?
Sept. 15, 2009 (San Francisco) -- Some swine flu patients are still infected with H1N1 virus that they can transmit to other people eight to 10 days after their symptoms strike, researchers say.
The finding suggests that the CDC's recommendation for people with flu-like illness to avoid others until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever may not go far enough.
"Three days after your fever subsides, you're probably still contagious with H1N1 [swine] flu," says Gaston De Serres, MD, PhD, a medical epidemiologist at the National Institute of Public Health in Quebec.
De Serres tells WebMD that it's not yet known exactly when it is safe to go back to school or work. "But a couple of days [after symptoms strike] is likely to be insufficient. You're probably contagious for about a week."
New Studies on Swine Flu Spread
De Serres led one of two teams of researchers that separately reported this week that as many as one in five patients continue shedding H1N1 virus eight days after symptoms start.
Both studies were presented here at the annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
For the first study, De Serres and colleagues swabbed the noses and throats of 43 patients with confirmed H1N1 flu as well as those of their sick family members.
On the eighth day after symptoms struck, 8% to 19% were still shedding live H1N1 virus.
The second study, led by David C. Lye, MD, and colleagues at Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore, involved 70 patients. It showed that 80% were still shedding virus after five days of illness, 40% at seven days, and 10% at 10 days.
People who were treated with Tamiflu shed virus for an average of three fewer days than those not given the anti-flu drug, "but still, some were showing signs of viral shedding after a week," Lye tells WebMD.
Tamiflu or another anti-flu drug, Relenza, is recommended for anyone hospitalized with flu-like symptoms or at high risk of complications. The drugs, which should optimally be started within two days of symptom onset, shorten illness by about one day.
Neither study used methods sensitive enough to determine whether people were shedding enough virus to spread infection.

My brother and i are going next summer on a surf vacation to England. We have a some experience on bodyboard, but we are going to buy surfboards next summer. Where is the best place to buy and surf? We are from Norway and its our first time in Enland.

Bodyboards for little girlys fool! i don't think i'd want to be age 30 walking down the beach with a little kiddies toy in my hand!!!!!!...............
RE: Best place to buy and surf?« Reply #3 on: September 01 2004 17:09:00 »
I body board and surf. Mainly bodyboard when the surf is too big. North devon is the best place. There are some great surfing shops in Woolacombe and further inland - Braunton.

If i were you i would stay with your bodyboard, yeah come portreath with a surfboard, slam into the reef cos u wont make the drop. If you live in Cornwall then you realise that the bodyboarding scene is huge. And you say the surfs too big to go surfing in, yeah at least he admits it instead of boasting on the beach i was in earlier was way better, when you were really too scared and you prefer snaking people in 1ft slop

A new article came out yesterday in Ms. Magazine and a few other publications, called Blocking the Vote. The piece, like other recent news stories, details what the League and other voting rights groups have been ringing the alarm bells on for several years - a new wave of voter suppression laws passing state legislatures at an alarming rate. League President MacNamara's quote sums it up nicely, "The fact that this is being touted as a way of making the [election] system more secure....is just a false argument."
The League is dedicated to ensuring that all eligible voters – particularly those from traditionally underrepresented or underserved communities, including first-time voters, non-college youth, new citizens, minorities, the elderly and low-income Americans – have the opportunity and the information to exercise their right to vote.

How many shots were fired?
Just 2 guys fighting over a cowboy hat and a guy accidentally
drinking out of a beer cup that had chewing tobacco spit in the
cup,while he thought it was beer.
The Govt likes to use these flag waving farm boys as cannon fodder. I say enough is enough let Israel fight there own war!
Great Concert! Toby never disappoints. The dance moves from the horn section were fun, too!
I'm sorry; but as much as I like the music, the show had some issues. This was by far the loudest Country show I've seen.I was fortunate to have earplugs but I felt bad for a large number of people around me that were constantly plugging their ears: The high vocals and guitar created quite a bit of distortion. I loved the patriotic themes throughout, but I really disdained the constant Ford commercials. Perhaps selling out too much now? A number of songs were a bit sloppy but to be honest, that's generally expected in the first show of a tour. I'd give an overall rating a B-.
Jack Napier- Agree completely! Surprised that js hasn't deleted your post. Keith's brand of fake patriotism is nauseating and wears thin fast if you know the truth!
Kanye West still reigned supreme. Kanye show was sold out and it was diverse. No distortion of music. Stage show was fantastic. No incidents took place. So far Kanye by far had the best show at summerfest this year easily.
Hayseed jingoism.
A review of a first half of a concert is about as helpful as reviewing only the first half of a movie.
Pretty useless.
I never thought that I'd be posting this in a Toby Keith concert review, but I agree with 'Jack Napier'... let Israel fight their own wars.

Civil Disobedience (Hardcover)
Originally published in 1849 as "Resistance to Civil Government," Thoreau's classic essay on resistance to the laws and acts of government that he considered unjust was largely ignored until the Twentieth Century when Mohandas Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and anti-Vietnam War activists applied Thoreau's principles.
About the Author
Henry David Thoreau was an American author, poet, and philosopher, who is best known for his works Waldena treatise about living in concert with the natural worldand Civil Disobedience, in which he espoused the need to morally resist the actions of an unjust state. Thoreau s work heavily reflects the ideologies of the American transcendentalists, and he has long been considered a leading figure in the movement along with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, and, at first, Nathaniel Hawthorne (who changed his views later in life). In addition to his writing, which totaled more than twenty volumes, Thoreau was an active abolitionist, and lectured regularly against the Fugitive Slave Law. Thoreau died in 1862, and is buried along with Louisa May Alcott, Ellery Channing, and other notable Americans in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.

I am running Sabayon linux, a fork of gentoo. I recently removed KDE according to http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=Remove_KDE this page, and followed through with a reboot. Upon booting, I no longer booted into a graphical environment. Instead, I was stuck in command line. I originally thought this was due to removing something from GNOME in the removal of KDE, but GNOME is updated and fully checked. I also reinstalled KDE, on the off chance that it would help.
As far as feedback from the machine goes, my libtest goes fine, and the deptest reveals that one of my xorg drivers is not there, but it is an older version that the one I currently have.
Anybody have any ideas how I could get back to my GNOME? Or another DE?

When you're chosen to supervise unfamiliar work, it's your opportunity to prove to your organization that you can be an effective manager.
Although there are many positives, social media can easily lend itself to blurring the line between users' personal and professional lives.
We all have a career plan, but it's also wise to have an exit strategy. Experts say preparing for a time when you will leave a company is a wise move.
To pick a career you love, make sure you are a good fit for the lifestyle it entails. Know what motivates you.
Of course you were hired to work, not make friends. But connecting with people on the job is important as well.
Corporate talent expert Angela Nuttle teaches business people how to show up with executive presence. But what is "executive presence" and how can you use it in your career?
Want to change careers? You are not alone. According to a new national
survey conduct by the University of Phoenix School of Business, almost
60 percent of all U.S. working adults want to change careers, but 40
percent have zero idea which new career to pursue. Experts tell you how
Has work taken over your life? It's time to realize you are not your career. Of course, everyone wants to get ahead at work and that often means
working harder and longer. But while your worklife may blossom, other
things in your life may suffer. Experts suggest you find the balance.
There's nothing productive about being in a job you don't

AbstractThe Air Force requires a method of tracking released aircraft stores during operational testing, at altitudes from ground level to 100,000 feet, and at ranges up to 100 miles. This Phase I program will provide a rigorous feasibility study and workingdemonstration of system design and technology implementation methods for a cost effective and highly practical software controlled radio and Global Positioning System (GPS) based tracking and scoring system to meet this mission. It shall use commercialoff the shelf components and standard PC's for control and databasing. A modular system design adaptable to a variety of air and ground assets (places where radio terminals are placed or carried) is planned. The system shall be primarily externallymounted on air assets using an electrocleavable adhesive, thus minimizing system integration cost by use of line aircraft as opposed to specially instrumented test aircraft. A flexible design provides for levels of sophistication ranging from point topoint links to airborne cellular networks, depending on the mission and the assets available. Any desired range may be supported via air to air relaying in the airborne cellular mode. Assets supported include ground stations, aircraft, UAV's, and seabased buoys and vessels.The military services have a direct need for Radio/GPs based tracking, and may reasonably be expected to issue procurement contracts for systems such as the one proposed. Commercial reuse is also very likely, such as tracking atrisk personnel such as police and firefighters, and high value assets such as truck fleets. This system is designed using low cost COTS components and using the ISM bands in order to allow direct commercial reuse.

Definition of cholecystography in English:
X-ray examination of the gallbladder, especially used to detect the presence of gallstones.
Example sentences
- Ultrasonography has replaced cholecystography as the diagnostic test for gall stones.
- In special circumstances, the older method of oral cholecystography is used where one swallows 6 tablets of x-ray contrast material the night before an upper abdominal x-ray.
- Oral cholecystography is used when patients are obese and have a large amount of overlying bowel gas which makes ultrasonography more difficult.

Utah's Post Card Project
Our Wayne County Utah 4-H after-school SET (Science, Engineering, & Technology) Squad program is starting a six-week exploration of animals in the wild as well as on ranches and farms. We kicked off our unit by creating postcards showing the Animals of Utah we already knew. Our group includes Cloverbuds (ages 5-8) as well as older 4-H youth. Many of the children used animal books and drawing books for ideas and inspiration.
Since there are only a couple names so far on the states list, we decided to share all of our postcards. However we wrote the reverse side as a group (click the image for the full-size to print). Your class can print the one you want to use for your project.
The following were created by setting the PowerPoint screen to postcard size "3.5 inches by 5 inches". If you click on the image, you'll see a full-size version.
