If you plan on putting any stock into these tiered rankings I'll be releasing for 2014, I must warn you that they're not for the faint of heart. There will be players that you'll likely think I've ranked way too high. There will be players that you'll likely think I'm way too low on.
Some of my reasoning for the way I've ranked my players for 2014 comes from statistics and information that I've picked up across various corners of the internet as I've put these rankings together. Some of it comes from my own personal musings.
Either way, I tried to remain as independent of groupthink as I could in order to give you the most authentic rankings possible.
For a primer on tiered rankings and how I use them, click these words.
Tier #1 – Standing On Top of the World (For a Little While)
THOUGHTS: For what I believe may be the first time in the long and illustrious history of fantasy football (at least since we started using ADP data), a tight end is being drafted in the first round. For the same reason I wouldn't draft a QB in the first round (you only start one in most cases), I wouldn't take a TE there either. Even if they're eligible to put into your flex position, if applicable. The reason for that is because I'm looking to put a WR in my flex spot whenever I can for reasons I'll delve into further in tomorrow's WR Tier piece. Having said that, I don't think I could ever pull the trigger on executing this strategy when applicable but it wouldn't strike me as an awful idea to corner the TE market by taking the two players that have the most potential to put up elite numbers at the position.
The only way Jimmy could be more valuable is if he had won his grievance and gotten franchise tagged as a WR. We could be talking about him being the most valuable player to own in fantasy football as a freak athlete with both WR & TE eligibility. The Orange Julius should benefit from Eric Decker's departure and a defense that is good enough to give the offense a few all-important extra possessions.
I share the same belief with those who think that people are going to be overreacting to Graham's monstrous season last year in the same way that people overreacted to the famed QB Explosion of 2011. In order for Graham to return first round value, he would have to have basically the exact same season that he had last year. And too much would have to break right for that to happen for me to take the plunge in Round One. However, as I've written about before, I have no problem rostering the Orange Julius if I'm satisfied enough with my roster to take him in the third or fourth round if he falls there.
Tier #2 – What's a Cusp and Why Are You On It?
–Rob Gronkowski
–Jordan Cameron
–Greg Olsen
–Dennis Pitta
–Kyle Rudolph
–Jordan Reed
THOUGHTS: You can make the argument that the TE position is the most difficult to handle in all of fantasy football this year. A popular strategy I've seen people utilize this season is drafting two players from this tier in leagues where you can play a TE in the flex. If you feel that you're pretty good at identifying later-round gems at the RB and WR positions and could afford to sacrifice depth there to take these TEs at their current prices, I could get behind the strategy of taking two of them. The argument has been made that most of these guys could be interchangeable. They all have tremendous upside but, barring injury to the Tier One players, it's tough to argue that any of them have a top overall positional finish in their range of probable outcomes.
Gronk is the player from this tier people feel is most likely to finish as the TE1 if it isn't Jimmy or Julius, but I agree with the assessment that the probability of him re-injuring himself in 2014 is extremely high. Plus there's the off chance that the seven known surgeries he underwent last year have taken a drastic toll on his body. News of Josh Gordon's suspension being upheld makes Cameron the top option in Cleveland and he showed a strong rapport with Brian Hoyer last season, but will the Browns become too run heavy for him to return value? Olsen has been referred to as the most boring 100-target TE candidate in all of fantasy football and is in a great situation to put up numbers on a Carolina team lacking a strong WR1 option, but will the downgraded offensive line cause him to have to stay in to block more? Can Pitta parlay his strong rapport with Joe Flacco and the TE-friendly nature of Gary Kubiak's offense into enough production to be an every week plug and play option? Is the addition of Norval Eugene Turner enough to push Rudy into the tier of the elite at the position? And while Washington's new offense could put Reed in a position to fulfill his Aaron Hernandez-like potential, will the offensive struggles we've seen from the team so far and his own concussion issues be too much for him to overcome?
When I tier my rankings, I always try to account for what I feel is a player's absolute ceiling. While it's tough to argue that any of these guys could be 2014's top TE, it's not out of the question to see one of them achieving that goal. It seems absurd to consider that fantasy's TE1 could be anyone other than Jimmy Graham, but we have to consider that he could fall out of that top spot for one reason or another. Each of these TEs has a decent amount of risk attached to them but enough upside to finish as the TE1 in fantasy football, which is why taking two of them could represent this year's ultimate boom or bust draft strategy.
Tier #3 – Juuuuust a Bit Outside
–Zach Ertz
–Charles Clay
–Martellus Bennett
THOUGHTS: If you're thinking about employing a double mid-round TE strategy and are caught at the end of the TE run with only one of those second tier guys, any of these three would make a viable substitute.
A lot of people seem to feel that Ertz is poised for a breakout season but the Eagles project as a team that won't stick to one game plan for too long at a time, which makes players like Ertz and Jordan Matthews difficult to project this early in the process. And Brent Celek is like that Gor-Don chick from the Sprint Framily commercials in that he just won't go away. Clay saw 103 targets last year and was arguably Ryan Tannehill's most efficient target, but how long will it take for the team to grasp the nuances of the new offense Bill Lazor is installing? And while Bennett had more success last season with Jay Cutler than he did with Josh McCown, can he emerge as anything more than the fourth option in #TeamTrestman's passing game (which caps his upside)?
I understand if the risk attached to these players is too much to get you to take a chance on them over the established veterans you'll find in the next tier. But these guys are good enough athletes in favorable enough situations to be league winners if they can fulfill their potential. I honestly can't say the same about the next tier of players.
Tier #4 – It's a Trap!
THOUGHTS: Not the guys you expected to see here I'm sure. If these guys fulfill their potential, they can be nice picks. But I don't think they're in favorable enough situations to be league winning picks if they hit big, which is what separates them from the Tier Three players.
An aging Witten may benefit from Scott Linehan's pass happy nature, but I've expressed concern about a Dallas run defense that may be bad enough to keep the offense off the field for long stretches at a time while opponents chew up the clock on the ground. He also caught a TD on an unsustainable 11% (roughly) of his 73 receptions in 2013, which won't happen again. While we're on the subject of scoring TDs at an unsustainable rate, let's talk about VD (the player, I mean) and his 13 TD receptions on only 52 catches last season. For the mathematically deficient, that represents a TD reception on an otherworldly 25% of his catches. Even though the 49ers are rumored to be opening up the offense as it relates to the passing game (likely at least partially out of necessity), an unsustainable TD rate, coupled with the fact that Davis has never had as many competent receiving threats around him as he will in 2014, will keep me from pulling the trigger too early on him which, in turn, will likely keep me from owning any shares of him.
There's always a certain amount of risk involved in passing on players that have been consistently fantasy relevant, especially when their healthy ceiling is pretty high. But as favorable as the situation may seem, sometimes you have to realize when there are enough red flags surrounding a player to warrant considerable caution as it relates to drafting them.
Tier #5 – Dark
wing Duck Horse TE1 Types
–Ladarius Green
–Delanie Walker
–Garrett Graham
–Travis Kelce
–Tyler Eifert
THOUGHTS: The key word with the players associated with this tier is "upside." Only the ballsiest of individuals would dare take one of these guys as their TE1. If you're more of the risk-averse persuasion and only have one TE by the point in your draft where all the players listed in previous tiers will be off the board, you can make an argument for any of these guys to be your backup and a potential flex option in juicy enough match-ups.
The question of whether Green or Gates will be the Charger TE to own in fantasy is one that no one seems to know how to answer, and we may not get a clear idea of who that player is until we see San Diego play a few games that count. Green offers tantalizing upside as a lottery ticket TE2 but Gates won't disappear quietly. But if the Charger beat writers are correct and Green can at least double his stat line from 2013 with more time on the field, he offers league-winning upside. Delanie has publicly stated his desire to catch 80 passes this season and he can probably do it, but the Titans have a lot of mouths to feed and seem like they could try and lean on the run game more than we may think with the offensive line upgrades and changes at the RB position. Bill O'Brien was New England's offensive coordinator in 2011 when Aaron Hernandez put up his best season statistically, and now he apparently plans on using Graham in that same H-back type role. I don't think Anthony Fasano will be able to keep Kelce, whose athletic measurables are on par with that of Gronk, off the field for long unless Andy Reid is stubborn enough to stick with the vet. And Eifert is still sharing the field with Jermaine Gresham, whose offseason sports hernia surgery doesn't bode well for his chances to stay on the field all year. In which case Eifert could see a ton of value in Cincy's up-tempo offense.
Tier #6 – So You're Telling Me There's a Chance
–Dwayne Allen
–Coby Fleener
–Heath Miller
–Antonio Gates
THOUGHTS: If you're even too risk averse to consider one of the Tier Five TEs as your backup or your potential league winning lottery-pick TE2, these guys offer some upside too. At the very worst, they can offer you a spot start or two throughout the year.
Allen and Fleener look to be in an ideal fantasy situation but each have their positives and negatives and will likely cancel each other out until one of them steps up as the primary TE option in Indy. Regardless of how many extra snaps Green gets in San Diego, Gates won't go away quietly and may finally be over the foot issues that have plagues him in the recent past. Which could help him have a few big fantasy weeks of his own. And even though he may actually, legitimately be 100 years old, Heathcliff still represents the best red zone receiving threat the Steelers have at this moment and has the potential to do some damage in the no-huddle offense.
Tier #7 – The Watch List
-Eric Ebron
–Jared Cook
–Marcedes Lewis
–Tim Wright
-Jace Amaro
THOUGHTS: While I'm not looking to draft any of these players, they'll be among the first ones on my waiver-wire speed dial.
If you're in a keeper league of any kind, I would value Ebron closer to the players in Tier Five or Tier Six and would definitely try and draft him. But as highly regarded of a prospect as he is, he's still a rookie TE whose redraft value is suppressed by a veteran in Brandon Pettigrew and a 6'7'' red zone beast in Joseph Fauria who he has to compete with for targets. He may put up some nice point totals this season but guessing which weeks they're going to happen, especially in the early going, is anyone's guess. If someone else in your league drafts him and proceeds to drop him after a slow start, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick him up. If Cook can ever put together a long enough string of games with decent fantasy production to shed his inconsistency label, he could make for a nice, high-upside TE2 or streaming option. Can Lewis, one of fantasy's forgotten TEs who scored all four of his TDs in the final five games last season, help the Jags make more noise on offense this season than they're accustomed to? If Timmy can catch on quickly in New England, he has the potential to do some major damage as the Move TE in the Patriot offense. And can Amaro beat out an underwhelming crew of pass-catchers like Jeremy Kerley & David Nelson to become the number two option in the Jets' receiving game behind Eric Decker as a rookie? If he can, look for him to be a popular pickup near the end of the season.
Tier #8 – Pay No Attention to That Man behind the Curtain/A Final Tier for Insanely Deep Leagues
-Brandon Pettigrew
–Adrien Robinson
-Joesph Fauria
–Owen Daniels
–Mychal Rivera
-Richard Rodgers
–Ryan Griffin
–Brandon Bostick
-Austin Seferian-Jenkins
–Andrew Quarless
–Gavin Escobar
-Brent Celek
–Levine Toilolo
–John Carlson
–Luke Willson
–Larry Donnell
–Demetrius Harris
–David Ausberry
–Vance McDonald
–Chris Gragg
–Taylor Thompson
–Tony Moeaki
–Brandon Williams
THOUGHTS: I've got nothing. However, these guys should not be forgotten about in case a situation arises where they can have some sort of fantasy relevance.
THOUGHTS: The players that I feel offer the best combination of price (ADP) and league-winning upside. These are the guys I've either targeted already or will continue to target through the remainder of the drafting season.
-Dennis Pitta
-Kyle Rudolph
-Jordan Reed
-Charles Clay
-Ladarius Green
-Travis Kelce
-Tyler Eifert

To commemorate World War 1, reverend helps believers respond to war through prayer
During WWI, religion was part of the rhetoric of combat. Jenkins noted that people with different faith backgrounds and from different levels of society were all speaking in terms of apocalyptic expectations, angels and Armageddon. In the United States, for instance, pastors would often describe the war as a crusade and the shedding of blood as a kind of holy sacrifice.
Although Jenkins concluded that the war did not lead to an immediate loss in standing for religion in Europe, he highlighted how Christian theologians began to question the way faith had supported such incredible violence.
"World War I does mark a theological revolution," said Jenkins.
Young scholars were horrified that the world's leading theologians from Germany had supported their country's imperial campaign. The next wave of Christian theology, starting with the work of Karl Barth during the war and including many writers who were soldiers themselves, focused on highlighting the Bible's peaceful message of grace and hope.
Willing peace
Campbell can relate to that process of return and revision because the drafts of her WWI commemorative worship resources evolved over time.
Her early efforts focused on the hearts of faithful people. She called for God to move believers' hearts away from desiring war.
But then one of her mentors, acclaimed Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann, insisted that she focus not on the heart, but on the human will.
"You need to pray for the will politically, morally and ethically that we will not do these things to one another," Campbell said, quoting Brueggemann. "You need to pray that our politics, our practice of faith, will will peacefulness and will do the things it takes to get there. It's bigger than having the heart for it. You need to have the steel for it and the courage for it and the determination for it."
And even beyond strength, courage and determination, praying for the will to resist violence requires acknowledging the complex relationship between religion and war according to a religion scholar who studies the intersection of theology and war.
"It's never a straightforward case of religion being used to ratchet up the war machine or used to oppose war. The story's a lot more complicated than that," said Jeremy Sabella, who lectures at Yale Divinity School.
Sabella said that for every time religion is appropriated during war times to justify harmful actions there is an example of it serving as a lifeline for people who suffer. "People use religion's language and symbols to (survive) something that threatened them with the abyss of meaninglessness."
Campbell's task was to honor that tension, while calling for peace. "I hope that (the prayers) offer people who have been disturbed by every war a new opportunity to visit in prayer the possibilities of healing, of seeing things new, of committing themselves newly to acts of justice and peace," she said.
And although the WWI anniversary was her inspiration, Campbell had the world's current conflicts in mind as she wrote. "To me, there are a lot of similarities between contemporary warfare and WWI," she said. "In WWI, the technology exceeded the morality."

Unit 5 (Chapters 17-20)
Chapter 17: Economic Policymaking
U.S. Economic FoundationThe Untied States economy was founded on the basis of capitalism in a mixed economy. Capitalism allowed individuals and corportations to influence the economy. When put into a mixed economy, c fuck bitches get moneyapitalism still took place, but the government can also become involved in economic decisions.
Government Regulation of Business PracticesThe agency responsible for regulating business practices is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Worries of the NationUnemployment and inflation are two major worries for the nation. Unemployment rate is measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is the proportion of the labor force actively seeking work but unable to find jobs. The higher unemployment rate is, the more people push policymakers to "do more" to expand employment. Inflation is the rise in prices for consumer goods. Inflation causes much economic concern because it increases the cost of living.
Monetary Policy
Monetary Policy- the manipulation of the supply of money in private hands by which the government can control the economy. This is the most important tool the government has to control the economy.
- Federal Reserve System- Created by Congress in 1913, it regulates the lending practices of banks and thus the money supply. The Federal Reserve System deals with the amount of money available, interest rates, inflation, and the availability of jobs.
Economic Theory
- Laissez-faire- This is the principle that government should not meddle in the economy.
- Keynesian Economic Theory- The theory emphasizing that government spending and deficits can help the economy weather its normal ups and downs.
- Supply-side Economics- An economic theory advocated by President Reagan holding that too much income goes to taxes so that too little money is abailable for purchasing and that the solution is to cut taxes and return purchasing power to consumers.
- Protectionism- The economic policy of shielding an economy from imports.
- Conservatories in Worthing.
Chapter 18: Social Welfare Policymaking
What is Social Welfare?Social welfare is made up of policies that are provide benefits to individuals, either through entitlements or means testing. Both the national government and state governments have social welfare policies.
- Entitlement Programs- Government benefits that certain qualified individuals are entitled to by law, regardless of need. Federal entitlements cost a total of $3 billion a day!
- Means-tested Programs- Government programs available only to individuals who qualify for them based on specific needs.
Income, Poverty, and Public PolicyAmerica has a vastly uneven distribution of wealth. The concept of income distribution describes the share of national income earned by various groups. In the 1960s and 1970s, the nations wealth was rather spread out. Into the 1980s though, it became more uneven.
- Income- The amount of funds collected between any two points in time.
- Wealth- The value of assets owned.
Income is distributed far better than that of wealth. One-third of the nation's wealth is held by the richest one percent of the population.
Who's Poor?To be considered poor, someone must fall on or below the poverty line. The poverty line is the method used to count the number of poor people, it considers what a family must spend for an "austere" standard of living.
TaxesThere are many ways to tax. There are three main ways:
- Progressive Tax- A tax by which the government takes a greater share of the income of the rich than of the poor.
- Proportional Tax- A tax by which the government takes the same share of income from everyone, rich and poor alike.
- Regressive Tax- A tax in which the burden falls relatively more heavily on low-income groups than on wealthy taxpayers.
Social Policy and Poverty
- Social Security Act of 1935- Created both the Social Security Program and national assistance program for poor children. This program brought together scattered, uneven state programs under a single federal umbrella. Eventually, these programs became bitterly divided between Republicans and Democrats, Conservatives and liberals.
- Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act- The official name of the welfare reform law of 1996. Passed by President Clinton, the law made: (1) each stat would receive a fixed amount of money to run its own welfare programs, (2) people on welfare would have to find work within two years or lose all their benefits, and (3) there would be a lifetime maximum of five years for welfare.
- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families- Once called "Aid to Families with Dependent Children," the new name for public assistance to needy families. Its the new name for welfare. The average family receiving money welfare collects roughly $363 a month.
- Social Security Trust Fund- The "bank account" into which Social Security contributions are "deposited" and used to pay out eligible recipients. The way Social Security works is the Government taxes workers and their employers a percent of the employee's income up to a maximum. This money is then put into the fund.
Chapter 19: Policymaking for Health Care, the Environment, and Energy
Health Care in AmericaThe U.S. spends roughly $2.3 trillion a year on health care. Health care expenditures are on the the largest single components of America's economy. It accounts for one seventh of the gross domestic product.
Uneven Coverage, Uneven CarThe majority of health care coverage for Americans is from private insurance plans. Many times today, people and their employers contract with a health maintenance organization. These organizations are contracted by individuals or insurance companies to provide health care for a yearly fee. Such network health plans limit the choice of doctors and treatments. About 60 percent of Americans are enrolled in health maintenance organizations or similar programs.
Government in Health CareThe U.S. has the most privatized medical care system in the world. The majority of other nations follow a national health insurance program. This is a compulsory insurance program for all people that would have the government finance citizens' medical care.
The U.S. does have some national health care policies. They are:
- Medicare- A program added to the Social Security system in 1965 that provides hospitalization insurance for the elderly and permits older Americans to purchase inexpensive coverage for doctor fees and other medical expenses.
- Medicaid- A public assistance program designed to provide health care for poor Americans
Environmental Policy
- Environmental Protection Agency- An agency of the federal government created in 1970 that administers much of U.S. environmental protection policy. EPA is charged with administering policies dealing with land, air, and water quality.
- Clean Air Act of 1970- Charged the Department of Transportation with the responsibility of reducing automobile emissions. Clean Air Act was reauthorized in 1990 by Congress adding more controls on cars, oil refineries, chemical plants, and coal-fired utility plants.
- Water Pollution Control Act of 1972- This law intended to clean up the nation's rivers and lakes. It requires municipal, industrial, and other polluters to use pollution control technology and secure permits from the EPA for discharging waste products into waters.
- Endangered Species Act of 1973- Law requires the federal government to protect actively each of the hundreds of species listed as endangered- regardless of the economic effect on the surrounding towns or region.
- Superfund- A fund created by Congress in 1980 to clean up hazardous waste sites. Money for fund comes from taxing chemical products.
Chapter 20: National Security Policymaking
American Foreign Policy
- Foreign Policy- A policy that involves choice taking, like domestic policy, but additionally involves choices about relations with the rest of the world. The president is the chief initiator of foreign policy in the U.S.
- Military- Uses the threat of war for foreign policy. U.S. often has employed this to influence actions of other countries. This has become a less effective way to get countries to do what you want.
- Economic- Uses controls on trade for foreign policy. Uses trade regulations, tariff policies, and monetary policies to influence what is wanted on other countries.
- Diplomacy- Quietest form of foreign policy. Chief diplomats or lower diplomats meet and work out resolutions.
Organizations Influencing Foreign Policy
- United Nations (UN)- Created in 1945, on organization whose members agree to renounce war and to respect certain human and economic freedoms. The seat of real power in the United Nations is the Security Council. UN's main headquarters is located in New York City.
- North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)- Created in 1949, and organization whose members include the U.S., Canada, most Western European nations, and Turkey, all of whom agreed to combine military forces and to treat a war against one as a war against all.
- European Union- A transnational government composed of most European nations that coordinates monetary, trade, immigration, and labor policies, making its members one economic unit. This is an example of a regional organization.
Foreign PolicymakersThe President is the chief foreign policymaker, but he also has help from the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, his joint chiefs of staff, and the Central Intelligence Agency.
- Secretary of State- The head of the Department of State and traditionally a key adviser to the president on foreign policy.
- Secretary of defense- The head of the Department of Defense and the president's key adviser on military policy.
- Joint Chiefs of Staff- The commanding officers of the armed services who advise the president on military policy.
- Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)- An agency created after World War II to coordinate American intelligence activities abroad. it became involved in intrigue, conspiracy, and meddling as well.
Ways to go about Foreign Policy
- Isolationism- A foreign policy course followed throughout most of our nation's history whereby the United States tried to stay out of other nations' conflicts, particularly European wars.
- Containment Doctrine- A foreign policy strategy advocated by George Kennan that called for the U.S. to isolate the Soviet Union, "contain" its advances, and resist its encroachments by peaceful means if possible but by force if necessary.

Mark Madoff Hadn't Spoken to His Parents in Two Years
"He often asked people how a father could do this to his sons."
The Journal has more information on Mark Madoff, after his apparent suicide yesterday at age 46, describing a man "unalterably bitter" after his father's confession that their business had been "one big lie": He often asked people how a father could do this to his sons, one friend noted, and he hadn't spoken with either of his parents in two years. Whereas his brother, Andrew Madoff, started biking more and working with his fiancée in her consulting business over the past two years, Mark Madoff "tested the waters for a job, but there were no takers." Instead, he recently started working on an iPad app that would offer customized information based on a person's professional interests. A source said that both the brothers were under criminal investigation in recent months, and Mark was "distraught" about reports that suggested he was part of his father's fraud.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
What's the best way to brush my toddler's teeth?
Below the age of two, simply use water and a small soft toothbrush twice a day (ideally after breakfast and before bedtime) to clean along the teeth up to the gumline, on top and both inside and outside. If he's not keen on using a toothbrush, you can also try a clean washcloth.
After age two (or once he learns to spit) you can use a small, pea-size smear of fluoride toothpaste. Trust us — this will be fun. What two-year-old doesn't love practicing spitting in the sink?

5 Summertime Tips for Healthy Ears
Everyone has heard of swimmer's ear -- but there are other "ears" you don't want this summer, such as "music-lover's ear" and "unpressurized ear." Experts gave WebMD five tips for keeping your ears healthy -- over the summer and year-round.
No. 1: Don't Blast Your Inner Ear With Music
According to a Zogby International poll reported in March by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 28% of high-schoolers say they have to turn up the volume to hear the television. A similar number (29%) report saying "huh" or "what" a lot during conversations. A smaller, but significant number (17%) say they have experienced tinnitustinnitus, or ringing in the ears.
Other symptoms of hearing damage from personal entertainment devices include thinking that other people are speaking in a "muffled" way.
These are symptoms older people get, not kids. Until now.
The earbuds on MP3 players funnel the sound waves directly into the ear.
Long-term exposure to high volume levels can gradually wear out the tiny hair cells of the inner ear that convert sound into nerve signals that go to the brain.
Hearing loss can also be caused by age, disease, infections, drugs, trauma, and genetics. Or it can occur with sudden exposure -- or a very few exposures -- to severely loud sounds (like an explosion).
Occasionally music slamming into the ear from earbuds can be 100 decibels. "The rule of thumb," Bruce R. Maddern, MD, chair of the otolaryngology section of the American Academy of Pediatrics, tells WebMD, "is if an observer can hear the device, it's too loud."
"If it's that loud," Maddern adds, "you also can't hear a car coming at you."
Hearing loss from noise usually accumulates over time and does not happen all at once.
Richard M. Rosenfeld, MD, professor of otolaryngology at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y., offers the following advice:
- Take breaks if you must listen to music through earbuds. "An iPod at 60 is safe for an hour a day," he says.
- Check out noise-reducing headphones. That way, you don't have to crank up the music volume to cancel out party noise or beach shouts.
- Don't stand or sit right next to a speaker at a party or concert.
- Parents should note: Do not let your child fall asleep with earbuds in. Make sure their devices are set at 60 or lower.
Incidentally, 60 decibels is the level of normal conversation. A power lawn mower can generate 90 decibels, a chainsaw or rock concert 110-140, and a 12-gauge shotgun 165 decibels.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Dominique Kirk scored 16 points,
including five 3-pointers, and Texas A&M snapped out of its Big 12
nosedive with an easy 98-54 win over Texas Tech tonight in College
The Aggies had lost three straight and dropped out of the Top 25
rankings this week for the first time in 36 weeks.
The 44-point margin is A&M's biggest win in Big 12 history and
in its series against Tech.
Texas A&M was aggressive, scrappy and excited from the beginning
of this one, looking nothing like the team that scored just 59
points in a loss to Nebraska on Saturday.
The Aggies scored the first five points of the game and never
trailed, leading by double-digits through most of the game.

Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Surgery
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have severe tremor (shakiness) affecting movement may be helped by surgery. People with severe spasticity (muscle stiffness) may be helped by insertion of a spinal pump to deliver medicines when oral medicines fail.
Surgery choices
Surgery options include:
- Deep brain stimulation for tremor. This treatment is only considered after other options have failed. Severe and disabling tremor that occurs with the slightest movement of the limbs may be helped by an implanted device that stimulates an area of the brain. A neurological surgeon does the surgery to implant the device.
- Implantation of a drug catheter or pump, for spasticity. This treatment is only considered after other options have failed. People who have severe pain or spasticity may benefit from having a catheter or pump placed in the lower spinal area to deliver a constant flow of medicine, such as baclofen.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

HOUSTON (February 25, 2014) A newborn child found early Tuesday in a plastic bag tossed in the dumpster of a Houston apartment complex was taken to a hospital.
A man who was taking out his trash Tuesday morning at the complex in southeast Houston notified police after he heard a noise and found the infant in the bag.
Police say the newborn was breathing when taken to a Houston hospital and is expected to survive.
Police later said they found the infant's mother.
The 16-year-old girl, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital for observation.

CLEVELAND — Florida Republicans gathering in Cleveland for the national party's convention heard a dire message to kick off the week: The presidential candidate they will officially nominate during the four-day meeting would lose the election right now.
"The first thing is, if the election were held today, Hillary Clinton wins," said Republican pollster Frank Luntz, who spoke Monday morning to a Florida GOP delegates' breakfast near Cleveland.
TALLAHASSEE — A bill that would place new restrictions on investigations by the Florida High School Association passed its first committee Wednesday, reopening a legislative battle from last year about the association's role in policing prep sports.
The legislation (HB 1279) would require the FHSAA to presume a student eligible unless he or she is proven to be ineligible; would change language barring athletes from receiving any benefit from schools to instead prohibit any "significant benefit" and change the association's investigative procedures.
Thrasher's Internet cafe bill looms
TALLAHASSEE — The House opened its examination of Florida's gaming laws Tuesday as a state senator gave more details on his plan for a moratorium on Internet cafes.
The inaugural meeting of the House Select Committee on Gaming came a day after its Senate counterpart closed down for the session after a handful of informational meetings; lawmakers in the upper chamber are waiting for a study the Legislature plans to commission, and they hope to hold a few public meetings across the state.
TALLAHASSEE — A prominent senator said Monday he will file a bill placing a moratorium on Internet cafes — a measure that could become the only major legislation dealing with gambling to be heard by the Legislature this year.
The comments from Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, came near the end of what is expected to be the final meeting of the Senate Gaming Committee until at least the end of the legislative session. Thrasher was responding to concerns among some lawmakers that the issue of Internet cafes might not be addressed in the session that begins March 5.
TALLAHASSEE — A Republican senator has revived an education bill that sharply divided the caucus in 2012, potentially sparking a renewed fight over how big of a say parents should have in school overhauls and testing the newly conservative bent of the chamber.
Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, filed a new version of the legislation, commonly known as the "parent trigger bill," on Wednesday. The proposal (SB 862) would allow parents to petition their school board to adopt a specific turnaround option for any school that drew an "F" on state report cards for two straight years.
TALLAHASSEE — A bill that would allow Floridians to enter "domestic partnerships" resembling marriages was filed Wednesday by Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, in an apparent effort to extend at least some marital benefits to same-sex couples.
While the legislation specifically states it is not an attempt to do an end-run around a provision in the Florida Constitution defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, it would allow gay Floridians to get some rights approaching marriage.
TALLAHASSEE — The State Board of Education chose a rising star in the school-choice movement to be Florida's next education commissioner Wednesday, sparking a blistering condemnation from the state's main teachers union.
St. Johns River president says Legislature will have to chip in
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott "challenged" state colleges to create $10,000 four-year degrees, a continuation of his low-cost strategy for higher education that Democrats slammed as an attempt to turn the schools into "the Walmart of Education."
Scott issued his challenge in a media blitz and a morning press conference at St. Petersburg College, with another event scheduled for Orlando in the afternoon.
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott called Tuesday for the State Board of Education to overhaul its strategic plan, inserting himself into the racially charged debate over how much should be expected of students from different groups.
"The actions taken last week by the State Board of Education in adopting their strategic plan did not clearly articulate our shared commitment to fully close that achievement gap for all students, regardless of race, geography, gender or other circumstance," Scott said in a statement issued by his office late Tuesday.
TALLAHASSEE — A lawyer for The Florida Times-Union asked a Leon County judge to quash a subpoena for one of the paper's reporters in a case involving a former aide for Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll.
Prosecutors want to talk to reporter Matt Dixon about what he received from Carletha Cole, a former aide to Carroll who shared the recording of a conversation with Carroll's chief of staff after she was fired. Cole has been charged criminally with disclosing that recorded conversation. Dixon is based in Tallahassee and works for the Times-Union and The St. Augustine Record.

For a vivid lesson in the toll that time exacts from us all, consider two images of Peter O'Toole.
First, imagine his debut performance as the title character of 1962's Lawrence of Arabia, striding across the roof of a recently sabotaged train. Sun-kissed, white-garbed and vigorous, he both conveys T.E. Lawrence as a messianic poet/warrior and anticipates for his future career portraying larger-than-life personalities.
Then, look at him in his latest film, the melancholy comedy Venus. At 74 years old, O'Toole literally resembles a ghost of his former self. His eyes are sunken, his pale skin is nearly translucent, and his handsome features now resemble a man-in-the-moon visage, on the verge of sinking into his ascot. Time has turned the matinee idol into a will o' the wisp.
It might seem harsh to spell things out so bluntly, but growing old is a harsh thing, and Venus doesn't stint from facing mortality. Plus, it's hard to imagine this film directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Enduring Love) being nearly as effective without an actor of O'Toole's renown in the central role. His presence, and our memories of his younger self, elevates a film that otherwise would be insubstantial despite its cleverness and sensitivity.
O'Toole's Maurice Russell and his obstreperous friend and colleague, Ian (Leslie Phillips), are both veteran actors, and the film's early scenes reveal a deft sense of humor as they squabble about their daily medicines and each other's failing faculties. Maurice was no movie star on O'Toole's level, but seems to have a career more comparable to Phillips, a longtime English character actor probably best known these days as the voice of the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter movies.
O'Toole and Phillips make a hilarious comic duo with spot-on comic timing. In the early scenes, Ian none-too-subtly brags that his grand-niece Jessie is going to soon move in with him, and he expects she will be a kind of comely nursemaid and personal shopper. When Maurice next visits, Ian appears in a state of horror, describing Jessie in monstrous terms. Jessie (Jodie Whittaker) turns out to be a pretty but ordinary young woman -- sullen, slumping and unimpressed by the elderly.
Maurice, characteristically and quixotically, becomes smitten with her despite her uncouth habits. They don't speak the same language -- almost literally, given Maurice's thespian elocution and Jessie's thick slang: "You're finking about me chuffs and bumps! Fink about summat else!" Maurice nicknames her "Venus" after the goddess of love, and probably thinks of himself as Professor Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, bestowing sophistication on a young woman. Outsiders such as Ian probably consider him more like Humbert Humbert leching after Lolita's underage girl. Jessie probably thinks of him as something between a sugar daddy and part of the furniture.
Maurice's attentions fall somewhere between lust and longing, since prostrate trouble has rendered him impotent, although Jessie gradually permits some chaste touching. Hanif Kureishi, writer of Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (1987), authored Venus' script and makes an effort to establish an ethos of transcendent pleasure. Maurice tells Jessie that most men will never see anything as beautiful as a woman's body, while for a woman, the most beautiful sight is that of her first child. But does the observation convey sensual wisdom, or just smooth patter to talk a woman out of her clothes?
Maurice's career also reflects the morbid aspects of being an elderly actor. At one point, we see him expiring in a hospital bed and fear the worst, until we realize that he's just playing a soap-operatic scene on the job. Being frequently cast as dying characters while in one's twilight years must be a surreal experience, like a constant dress rehearsal for the final curtain.
Being whittled down to life-size deepens O'Toole's craft in an unexpectedly new way. With his height, aristocratic bearing and ringing voice, he frequently played madmen, artists and kings. (The restored version of 1964's Beckett, with his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Henry II, will be released in February.) Maurice may be one of the most "ordinary" men he's ever played, and though he can recite "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" with aching beauty, he fleshes out Maurice's more naturalistic qualities with surprising grace and realism.
And though O'Toole himself may be physically frail, having suffered the worse for alcohol and illness much of his life, he doesn't shy away from Venus' physical comedy. He gets Jessie a job as a nude model for an art class, but she refuses to allow him to watch, and when he tries to peek over the studio transom, he comes pratfalling into the room, knocking over easels like dominos.
Venus nevertheless feels like a small story with an inconsistent tone. Some of the film's quirky moments have an artificial vibe, such as Maurice and Ian's impromptu waltz in a chapel. There's a particularly unsubtle moment when Maurice and Jessie ride a limo to a film location. The camera cuts between Jessie's top half sticking out the sun roof, enjoying the luxe life like a prom date, and Maurice sitting beside her lower half, ogling her mini-skirted legs. At such moments, Venus evokes Steve Martin's quip: "I believe that you should place a woman on a pedestal, just high enough so you can look up her dress."

Freddy Cole-This is for real
A performance at the RRAZZ ROOM, on February 13, 2012
There is no question that Freddy's brother, Nat King Cole, was one of the great jazz and popular musicians. He not only was a great jazz piano player, but also had a voice that was unique to popular music. Indeed, the only other popular artist of his time that could rival him was Frank Sinatra.
So seeing Freddy, Nat's brother, at the RRAZZ ROOM in San Francisco, was a chance to be with jazz royalty. If Nat was the King, Freddie is the Duke, The Count or the King in waiting. It is significant that Freddie released a CD that is titled, "I'm not my brother, I'm me." He has spent his lifetime under the significant shadow of his brother, whose relatively brief career, was one of the most astounding.
But that hasn't changed the fact that Freddy is very much his own man. And though he sounds like Nat to a degree, he has fashioned a vocal style that was very much influenced and shaped by his love for the music of Billy Eckstine. Now Billy was someone who could blow away an audience and he put together the very first bop band. But the real connection is the wonderful line between the two men that defines a vision of romance that was unique to the time, and still relevant in ours.
So the fact that Freddy was playing on Valentine's Day and week was a wonderful chance to experience one of the great soulful performers of our day. Now hearing the music of this performer interpret the songs that he prefers is the result of a lifetime of experience. And Mr. Cole has a natural musicality that belies the fact that he is a highly educated and disciplined musician.
He picks his songs carefully to surprise and delight us. Whether is is "It's Crazy, I'm In Love,", "Your sensational" or "When my pretty one found me," each tune has a story, a connection or a meaning that we can dream with or research later on.
His band, with Elias Bailey on bass, Curtis Boyd on drums and the youthful Randy Napoleon on guitar, provides a wonderful support and inspiration for Freddy.
Finally, something has to be said about a man who is this much fun to listen to and be around. Freddy Cole might be from a royal line, but he is also so very old school in his willingness to share with us his delight in telling the story of what love is all about. Because inside each of these songs is a gentle message for all: Love, is the refuge and inspiration of all great art, and it has inspired joyous expression exactly like this. Freddy, thank you for sharing the love.

Once again, the dreaded "squished video" look permeates this vid, yet another released by West Coast Productions this month which showcases some anonymous editor's incompetence (with the now-standard 16 x 9 format) instead of the cast's latent heat. And we'll continue to point this out again and again — for the sake of your customers, if nothing else. People don't jerk off to this kind of imagery when they have different choices! Got it?
Wasting a barrel of thick-assed babes is criminal ... especially when Tiffany Stax, Stacie Lane, Paradise Charm and Envy romp around in an orgy that sounds better than it looks (thanks to you-know-what). The hub of this whole setup is a real strip club, which might've held some production values under different circumstances.

In The Silence
Your price
In cart
"In The Silence" was inspired by two men whose lives helped shape mine. My Dad and Uncle Tom. It was also written with the families in mind--whose relationships changed from husband/wife, child/father, to caretaker. True communication ceases as this disease progresses. A different kind of language takes its place; one that has no history or future, one that thrives only in the moment; one that appreciates the gift of precious life and just being with another; one that speaks only.... in the silence.
What The Critics Are Saying...
Six albums in, the career of singer/songwriter David G Smith has the Iowan belaboring reality to the core. First Love (Hey Dave Music) is 10 deeply felt originals on the cusp of bluesy Americana and righteous roots fervor. It's different. Captivating. Adult. -- Mike Greenblatt/Classicalite Read full review
Finding his voice and his songwriting soul, Smith has crafted a series of independently released albums, including live projects capturing his songs in their natural environment. Reflective and demanding,
The contrast between Smith's laid-back sound and style and the words he has written is fascinating.
David [Smith] comes across with the same sort of weathered resolve that best exemplifies fellow travelers like Kris Kristofferson and Townes Van Zandt.

Obamacare ruling means November does not matterBy Donald Sensing
Although I have spent part of the day on travel and not glued to the internet reading assessments of the SCOTUS's upholding of Obamacare, there is something important that I have not seen mentioned by anyone on the Right, and it is the centrally bad part of the Court's majority ruling.
The "individual mandate" means that if you don't buy government-approved health insurance, then you are penalized by being required to pay a special tax enacted purely for that reason. And the Court says that the Constitution if quite okay with that!
By classifying Obamacare's individual mandate as a form of Constitutionally permissible tax, the Court has emplaced in Constitutional law the power of the present or any future Congress to enact any kind of mandate whatsoever on individuals as long as Congress characterizes penalties for non-compliance as a tax.
The point I don't see other commentators getting is this: the ruling means that Congress now has unlimited power to tax. Congress now has the power to tax absolutely any activity or inactivity by individuals.
So does the Congress have the authority to make us eat broccoli, as one justice asked the solicitor general during the hearing? Now we know the answer: not eat it, but without question the Congress now enjoys the power to make us buy broccoli, whether we eat it or not. Don't buy it? Pay a special tax.
Congress has the power now to make everyone drive a white car - or pay a special tax if they don't.
And before the Left gets all giddy with elation at this ruling, consider that any Republican Congress will also enjoy - and take advantage of - this power. So yes, that prospective Congress now has the Constitutional power to require every able-bodied, sound of mind adult (male or female) to purchase a firearm and ammunition - or pay a special tax if they don't.
Mark today's date on your calendars. June 28, 2012 is the day that the sovereignty of the American people vanished. This is the day we became subjects rather than citizens. As Daniel Webster argued before the court of Chief Justice John Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland, "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy." And in his decision, Marshall agreed.
Today was the day that our freedom was destroyed. As of today, absolutely nothing we do or don't do is beyond the power of Congress to dictate. It now makes absolutely no difference who prevails in November.
Update: Seems it is starting to sink in that because of the Court's ruling, there are now no limits to Congress doing whatever it wants as long it justifies under its now-limitless taxation authority. See the commentary on The TaxProf Blog.
Then there's this: "Maybe the most depressing aspect of the decision is the way it seems to endorse using the tax law as the Swiss Army Knife of public policy. Things that Congress can't enact any other way are now possible if they can somehow be crammed into the tax law" (boldface original).
