Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
T-Fal UltraGlide EasyCord FV4476 Steam Iron
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The colorful T-Fal UltraGlide EasyCord may be one of the less expensive irons in our test, but it still turned in a solid performance. It produced as much steam as any iron in GHRI tests and we found it worked well on its higher temperatures, smoothing tough wrinkles from wool, cotton, and linen. (If you find yourself ironing silk garments, you may need to splurge on one of our top picks for better wrinkle removal, however.) Large ironing batches won't wear you out with this model — it was one of the lightest appliances in our test — but this also means it's more prone to tipping over. (Luckily, T-Fal built in three-way shut-off, so the iron will automatically turn off if left idle on its side, face, or horizontal.) A nice bonus: You won't need a measuring cup to fill up the T-Fal. Simply place the opening under running water and watch the large reservoir fill. The manual's a little confusing: The instructions are mainly diagrams, so they can take some time to decipher. Should you have any questions though, we found T-Fal's customer service to be very helpful.

Retiring from full-time duty
By Ted Spencer
So, this is it — the last week of my time as a full-time employee of the Baseball Hall of Fame. My last day is this Thursday, April 16. (There will be an explanation on the significance of the 16th on the day itself.)
It certainly isn't the same place it was on the day I started, April 19, 1982. At that time, the number of full-time employees here was about 18. Now, we number close to 100. There were approximately 30,000 square feet of exhibit space. Now, it is around 50,000.
More importantly, we have grown philosophically. I remember the first month I was here, I asked Howard Talbot, the museum director, "Are we a museum or a tourist destination?" His response: "That is a question we're trying to answer."
I believe that, in the years that followed, it was answered. Even though the vast majority of our visitors are here on vacation, we have matured into a major museum and most importantly, a serious research center. With the staff we have in place throughout the organization, I think the future years here will be very exciting.
For me, personally, it has been quite a ride. What an experience! For someone who was just an everyday fan in the fall of 1981, to find himself on first-name terms with many of his childhood idols — it's mind boggling. In addition: taking an exhibit to Japan, spending five days in Cuba, meeting three U.S. presidents, working in the White House. That's all topped off by being able to raise your family in Cooperstown. How much better can it get?
Around 9:30 on Friday morning, the entire family heads for a week's vacation in South Carolina. When I return, I will be coming into the office for a few mornings each week. I will be prowling through the institution's archives, which — I hope — date back to our beginning. This is an area I've wanted to research for some time. I hope to find information on the history of the exhibits as well as any information on the donation of artifacts. A cursory look through has already unearthed some 1950 correspondence between the Hall and Ty Cobb, which led to his donation of his "Honey Boy" Evans trophies from the early 20th century.
I anticipate reporting on my findings in future blogs.
Right now, I have an office to clean out.
Ted Spencer is vice president and chief curator of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Carotid artery disease occurs when the carotid arteries become narrowed or blocked.
The carotid arteries provide the main blood supply to your brain. They are located on each side of your neck. You can feel their pulse under your jawline.
Carotid stenosis; Stenosis - carotid
Carotid artery disease occurs when fatty material called plaque builds up inside the arteries. This buildup of plaque is called atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
The plaque may slowly block or narrow the carotid artery. Or it may cause a clot to form suddenly. A clot that completely blocks the artery can lead to stroke .
Risk factors for blockage or narrowing of the arteries include:
Smoking (people who smoke one pack a day double their risk of stroke)
At early stages, you not may any symptoms. After plaque builds up, the first symptoms of carotid artery disease may be a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIA is a small stroke that doesn't cause any lasting damage.
Symptoms of stroke and TIA include:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam. Your provider may use a stethoscope to listen to the blood flow in your neck for an unusual sound called a bruit. This sound may be a sign of carotid artery disease.
Your provider also may find clots in the blood vessels of your eye. If you have had a stroke or TIA, a nervous system (neurological) exam will show other problems.
You may also have the following tests:
The following imaging tests may be used to examine the blood vessels in the neck and brain:
Treatment options include:
You may have certain procedures to treat a narrowed or blocked carotid artery:
Major complications of carotid artery disease are:
Transient ischemic attack. This occurs when a blot clot briefly blocks a blood vessel to the brain. It causes the same symptoms as stroke. Symptoms last only a few minutes to an hour or two, but no longer than 24 hours. A TIA does not cause lasting damage. TIAs are a warning sign that a stroke may happen in the future if nothing is done to prevent it.
Stroke. When the blood supply to the brain is partly or completely blocked, it causes a stroke. Most often, this happens when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain. A stroke can also occur when a blood vessel breaks open or leaks. Stokes can cause long-term brain damage or death.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) as soon as symptoms occur. The sooner you receive treatment, the better your chance for recovery. With a stroke, every second of delay can cause more brain injury.
Here's what you can do to help prevent carotid artery disease and stroke:

The gluten free menu is limited. You get a binder for food allergies. So you'd think the waitress would ask which allergy and make sure your food isn't contaminated. NOPE. I told her I have a gluten allergy but she didn't write it down. I got a house salad (thank god I brought my own dressing - not a very big selection) without croutons and sweet potato fries. I have been sick ever since. I guess not frying the fries in contaminated oil is too much to ask for. -If you go there and you are a vegetarian like me just go with a salad without croutons and fruit.
Yum! Love their gluten free bun!
4514 Centerplace Drive, Greeley, CO 80634
I'm a Celica. Tonight my husband and I went here for dinner and it was amazing!! Our waitress was a fellow Celica and she helped me picked yummy food. We will be back again soon I hope!
2860 Route 34, Oswego, IL 60543
Great interactive allergen menu on website. Gluten free buns that tasted good and weren't too thick. Dedicated fryer for fries. Staff had training plus access to an iPad with the allergen menus. Excellent lunch at a place I hadn't thought of before.
19433 Interstate 45 South, Shenandoah, TX 77385
This location works with local customers who have specific starch and food dye issues so the sweet potato fries are not available as a GF option. Regular steak fries are not on their GF menu but can safely be made GF and are cooked in a separate fryer. The staff and management were knowledgeable and concerned about ensuring I understood what my options were when I had difficulty with sides due to my multiple food sensitivities.
18810 E. Highway 40, Independence, MO 64055
If your not looking to eat healthy then getting a burger from Red Robin is your place! The Royal Red burger is the most flavorful. Gluten free bun is a nice to give you other options to go out with people that might not be gluten free.
565 W. Arrow Highway, San Dimas, CA 91773
Red Robin has a gluten free menu and even has a bun that you can eat your burger on, but they make it very difficult to order. The wait staff is not trained. While they have a gluten free menu, there is not a printed version. you have to go online and wade through the checklists of what is effectively a really long slideshow just to see an option, only to have to do it again again to see if you can eat anything else. It is very difficult and tedious, bit to mention disheartening when the wait staff aren't even aware that such a menu exists. if you can get past that, it is nice to be able to eat French fries and a burger with a bun. the bun is okay, not great, but it's still nice just to have a bun. I didn't get sick eating here...just wish I didn't have to convince the people working there what their secret menu contains.
302 Indian Lake Blvd, Hendersonville, TN 37075
They would get 5 stars except that their beef is not good enough to get top marks. The GF buns are absolutely great. Red Robin's will even sell their buns separately. Bottomless frech fries are marvelous, just marvelous. They will even cook you a batch without salt (in case you are watching your sodium intake). Heinz mustard available on request.
4080 Maple Road, Amherst, NY 14226
50-50 chance of getting sick here. Love the food, fries are always delicious- but the stomach issues start before I even get out of the restaurant about half the time. I guess I keep going back because I like the illusion of it being truly gluten free. Or maybe I'm just a gambler.
10067 Brook Rd., Glen Allen, VA 23059
The food took forever- waited over 45 minutes for a lettuce burger. Offered bottomless coleslaw, requested more, and then never received it. Seemed that there really wasn't enough staff to accommodate a normal dinner crowd. The explanation (upon delivery of the food) for the long wait was that the chef put my burger on a roll and the meal had to be redone. That explained why my wife's meal. Was cold :-(
1500 South Willow Street, Manchester, NH 03103
the staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a burger with a gf bun. it was great. their fries are also gf.
2100 Hamilton Place Blvd, Suite 317, Chattanooga, TN 37421
Great experience with their fancy schmancy iPad like devices they use for an allergen menu. It was nice to eat like a normal person.
317 Mid Rivers Mall Drive, St. Peters, MO 63376
It is great to go to a restaurant that have GF buns for your hamburger. We eat here about once a month. Love the bottom less fries.
1200 Towne Centre, Suite 1100, Provo, UT 84601
very poor service and not very nice
83 Fortune Drive, Irvine, CA 92618
GF bun and fries. I love the bbq chicken sandwich, it can be made GF.
6524 W. Saginaw Highway, Lansing, MI 48917
In 2013 and 2014 I had great service and I was there enough that some of the staff already knew what I needed. Gluten free items and meals were right on and never got sick. Currently in 2015 I have to check when you get them because sometimes there's a mix of gf and not gf. Ie.... Cooked chicken in wrong sauce or wrong but on order to go, but over all very good restraunt and gf friendly. Just keep your eyes open and double check.
441 S. Randall Road, Algonquin, IL 60102
First time to Red Robin and it was overall a very good experience! I had a little trouble ordering but the manager, Gary, came over and got things straightened out! His son is gf and Gary knew exactly what I could or could not have. He was very attentive but not overly so. The gf buns are really good! Gary said I could buy some buns to take home anytime I want. Best part is I did not get glutened!
10300 Forest Hill Boulevard #122, Wellington Green Square, Wellington, FL 33414
The best Gluten free burger my son ever had. The bun was amazing. The restaurant is very accomodating on making gluten free dishes and they have an IPad were kids can play with and choose their gluten free meal.
5029 Pinnacle Square, Birmingham, AL 35235
The waitress looked very confused and took forever to locate the GF menu. The hamburger buns crumbled and fell apart in our hands. They must have been in the freezer for months.
10067 Brook Rd., Glen Allen, VA 23059
Food is stellar with lots of options. Dedicated fryers mean bottomless fries! EDIT 2/19/15: I have to take two stars off, however. Yes, the food is great and yes, there are a lot (*A LOT*) of options. However, be sure your server absolutely knows what your order is when you order it. Every time I have been to this location since I left my previous review in July 2014, they've gotten my order wrong. While I was never in a situation of being served a gluten-containing item instead of the gluten-free version, you really have to be careful.
6100 Brandywine Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19803
Food was excellent. Their gluten free bun was so moist, I almost thought it couldn't be gluten free. Their fries and signature blend season are gluten free as well. I wasn't crazy about the GF menu being online and having to look it up on my phone, but overall it's a good eat.
37701 Six Mile Road, Livonia, MI 48152
I have eaten here twice without getting sick. However, last time I went I specifically ordered a GF burger but it came out on a regular bun. Luckily, I knew what the GF bun looked like and told our waitress. She was helpful and took it away. They cooked a completely new burger that was delicious. I did not get sick. Fries came out without the seasoning (if you order GF this is standard).
27 Holyoke Street, Holyoke, MA 01040
Very good about keeping all the gluten free food separate from any contaminates. Even have "allergy fries."
31805 John R. Road, Madison Heights, MI 48071
So many things wrong but i will say the main entrees were very good. Drinks were beyond bad, they were atrocious. There was no carbination in the soda. Both my wife's and my drinks were flat. My wife then changed her drink and they got it wrong. They don't have a printed gluten free menu. instead, they hand you an iPad which has allergy information but you need to refer back to the main menu to understand what you're really getting. It's very annoying. Also, some of the menu items that were on the Apple iPad are no longer available, making it further confusing. Red Robin needs to rethink how they handle their gluten free alternatives. I would be embarrassed if I were them.
15560 Cedar Ave., Apple Valley, MN 55124
Takes things very seriously. Great burger!
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
The wait was long but once we got in we told them my husband had celiac disease. The manager Gary came right over and spent 15 minutes explaining what he can and can't eat. Very courteous and informative. Appreciate the personal touch!
20155 West 153rd Street, Olathe, KS 66062
I've been there 4 - 5 times since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. The first time, I had a reaction afterwards. I went back again and was fine, so I've been back several more times, all with good experiences. Just be sure to tell your server when you order that you need GF. All the ones I've had seemed pretty knowledgeable on the company policies and procedures for handling GF food. They said they have a separate fryer for the GF fries. They also said that their fry seasonings are GF (maybe they weren't in the past?).
N109 Stoneybrook Road, Appleton, WI 54915
I worked at a Red Robin as a server, and I know that they take precautions against cross contamination, and they also have a dedicated GF fryer. My husband has celiac and is VERY susceptible to being glutened. We have eaten here many times, and haven't had a problem. They also have many more options for GF, and offer GF buns which many places do not. I also know that our local Celiac group meets at Red Robin for some of their meetings, so I would say this place is a pretty good bet for most Celiacs, at least the one where I live.
111 Marketplace Blvd, Selinsgrove, PA 17870
Awesome buns!!! Gluten free menu is full of options. My order took a little longer but it was only to insure my safety from cross contamination! Very friendly staff and the manager checked in regularly to make sure I was happy and let me know what was safe and almost safe depending on how sensitive I was etc. awesome experience!! And did in mention the buns!!! Best I've had!
621 Park Avenue, Hershey, PA 17033
They have a designated gf menu with quite a few options. I ordered the chicken bruschetta sandwich with a gf bun. It was delicious. The bun was soft and did not have that "gluten free" taste at all. Being able to have their fries was a big bonus. I left there very happy and will definitely go back often.
8640 Snowden River Pkwy, Columbia, MD 21045
Very accommodating, good options, knowledgable.
370 Peachtree Parkway, Cumming, GA 30041
The bun was really good. Fries are now made all gluten free. Plus, they put your food in a special basket so they can keep gluten items away. They do not have a separate hard copy menu. I had to pull it from their website. Their items under the nutrition and allergy section does not provide detail of the food. I needed to find it on their menu to see what all it consisted of.
1090 Gramsie Road, Shoreview, MN 55126
Allergy menu very helpful. Gf buns and dedicated fryers!
1750 N Loop 1604 E, Ste 102, San Antonio, TX 78232
Terrible! They had no menu. Told us they had cards unfortunately they are on order. Manager never came over. We had to walk out. The manager should know about their items. Will never go to another Red Robin!
1875 Airport Road, Allentown, PA 18109
Great GF Buns. Never had an issue at a Red Robin. Servers are always very nice and knowledgeable!
101 East Brannon Road, Nicholasville, KY 40356
Great food! Waitress was very knowledgeable about menu & very helpful. They have a designated fryer & the gluten free hamburger bun was the best!
1230 Settlers Ridge Center Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15205
Yum! I ordered a burger with a gluten free bun. YAY! I also ordered a strawberry limeade and it was amazing! Be careful with seasonings and fries- they are contaminated. I recommend!
1750 N Loop 1604 E, Ste 102, San Antonio, TX 78232
Love their burgers with a lettuce wrap!
9945 Sowder Village Square, Manassas, VA 20109
I went and had the grilled chicken with a GF bun and the bun was absolutely amazing but I would not recommend the grilled chicken.
6632 0E. Superstition Springs Blvd, Mesa, AZ 85206
Great options for glutenfree hamburgers my go too place
8311 NE Vancouver Mall Rd., Vancouver, WA 98662
Left without eating here today. The hostess was irritated to have customers and the server cut me short when I tried to clarify the prep for my gluten-free order. I felt very anxious about my food after the weird, disinterested service so decided not worth the risk. Won't be back to this location.
4080 Maple Road, Amherst, NY 14226
My daughter and I have celiac. She got sick before we left the restaurant and I got sick on the way home. Manager was nice when I called but I've never heard anything good about their gf food and wouldn't risk it again.
1021 N. Columbia Center Blvd., Kennewick, WA 99336
The buns are okay and the fries have never made me sick, but you're better off making a burger at home. The food just isn't very good unless you like greasy gut bombs.
9870 Von Allmen Court, Louisville, KY 40241
For what this place is I give it 5 stars because my burger was great and it was the best gluten free bun I've had.
4503 Rosewood Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94588
I am lactose/gluten intolerant and I had the worse reaction last night. I had the grilled turkey burger, gluten free bun minus the sauce and added the honey bbq sauce. Everything was suppose to be safe according to their allergy menu. I even had the gluten free french fries. With in 2 hours I had the worse gas pains. This morning I am trapped in the smallest room in my house! I have had the same thing at the Newark location with no problems. 😞
3901 S. Steele St., Tacoma, WA 98409
we eat at robin frequently. visiting from the east coast, and ordered something ... the shift manager came out to double check my order, because one of the sauces may not have been gluten free. I was so happy to have that level of care.
27001 US Highway 19 North, Unit 1130, Clearwater, FL 33761
Dedicated fryer and unlimited fries
625 SW Powerhouse Drive, Bend, OR 97702
dedicated frier and grill, gluten free buns and huge menu to choose from. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly with my Celiac. Never been sick and have eaten there multiple times.
9434 Civic Center Blvd., West Chester, OH 45069
Yummmmm. ok I had to say that. The staff understood.kur concerns and even the manager stopped by before we ordered. Best bun ever and fries can't be beat. Worth the wait.
100 Bluefish Drive, Panama City Beach, FL 32413
The grilled chicken on a gluten free bun was good. But we ordered it with a side salad, and they brought the salad with croutons on it!

Have Fun with Money Worksheets
Money worksheets for kids are great learning tools for future savvy savers! Make learning about money with money worksheets even more fun with these handy tips:
- Before your child begins his money worksheets, go to the bank and withdraw a roll of each pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.
- Use real life money to introduce your child to the different kinds of currency. Have your child line up the coins from smallest to biggest. Is the biggest coin worth the most money? What about the smallest coin? Ask your child to see if this pattern applies to all of the coins. Have your child look at each coin carefully and tell you how much it is worth. Lay the coins out on a piece of paper and have your child write their values underneath.
- Take out a couple of money worksheets and have your child work through the problems using real coins. This adds to the fun of learning about money, and is also a great exercise for kids who learn through sensory play.
- If you'd like to give your child a special reward for completing his money worksheets, tell him he can keep the number of coins that he needed to work through the problems. Or, set up a miniature 'store' in your living room using small toys or tasty treats that your child can buy using the coins from his worksheet practice. He'll get a nice surprise, and learn about currency at the same time!

Cowboys sign LB Sean Lee to six-year, $42 million contract extension
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoDallas Cowboys middle linebacker Sean Lee signed a six-year contract extension that could be worth up to $51 million, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport and Albert Breer report.
The base value of Lee's extension is $42 million, a $7 million average per year (APY) that is below inside/middle linebacker extensions signed last year by Daryl Washington of the Arizona Cardinals and James Laurinaitis of the St. Louis Rams. The $7 million per year average of Lee's extension is identical to what former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe received from the Miami Dolphins as an unrestricted free agent in March.

Broncos LB Von Miller releases statement after receiving six-game suspension from NFL
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoDenver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has officially been suspended for the first six games of the 2013 regular season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Miller's suspension will begin on Aug. 31 and he will be eligible to return on Oct. 14.
[Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football is open for business]
Miller released the following statement through the NFL Players Association:
"The Substances of Abuse policy requires everyone to comply with the rules," Miller said. "Although my suspension doesn't result from a positive test, there is no excuse for my violations of the rules. I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team, Broncos fans, and myself. I am especially sorry for the effect of my bad decisions on others. I will not make the same mistakes about adhering to the policy in the future. During my time off the field, I will work tirelessly and focus exclusively on remaining in peak shape. I look forward to contributing immediately upon my return to the field and bringing a championship back to the people of Denver."
Report: Texans DE Antonio Smith to be suspended for Week 1 after helmet swinging incident
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoHouston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith will be suspended for the remainder of the preseason and for the regular season-opener after removing the helmet of Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito and swinging it at his face during a preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 17, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
According to Schefter, Smith will be fined, as well. A one-game suspension in the regular season would cost Smith $352,941, the amount of one of his game checks from his $6 million base salary in 2013. Smith is appealing the fine and suspension.
[Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football is open for business]
In addition to losing a considerable portion of his salary, a one-game suspension would end Smith's streak of 124 consecutive games played, which is the longest, by nearly two seasons, among active defensive ends. Smith has also started 62 straight games for the Texans, which is the second-longest active streak among defensive ends.
Three members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins to skip White House visit for political reasons
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoThe members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins team, who had a perfect 17-0 season, will be honored at the White House by President Obama on Tuesday. However, at least three members from that team have chosen not to attend the festivities for political reasons, David Hyde of the Sun Sentinel reports.
Hall of Fame center Jim Langer, guard Bob Kuechenberg and defensive tackle Manny Fernandez are skipping the event because of politics and President Obama, with Hyde adding that two have been on the fence about attending for similar reasons.
"We've got some real moral compass issues in Washington," Langer said. "I don't want to be in a room with those people and pretend I'm having a good time. I can't do that. If that (angers) people, so be it."
The '72 Dolphins were unable to visit the White House after their historic season as President Richard Nixon was embroiled in the Watergate scandal.

NFLPA expected to file grievance against Patriots over Aaron Hernandez's unpaid $82,000 workout bonus
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoThe fight between the New England Patriots and the NFL Players Association over the money that tight end Aaron Hernandez was scheduled to receive will commence shortly as the NFLPA is preparing to file a grievance on Hernandez's behalf over an unpaid $82,000 workout bonus, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports 1 reports.
Hernandez was scheduled to receive the $82,000 workout bonus, which was included as part of his rookie contract, on Aug. 1. The Patriots have not paid that amount to Hernandez, who has been held without bail in Bristol (Mass.) County Jail after being charged on June 26 with first-degree murder in the June 17 killing of Odin Lloyd.
The battle over the $82,000 workout bonus is expected to be the first in a series of battles between the Patriots and NFLPA over money that has been paid or is owed to Hernandez, who signed a five-year, $37.5 million extension with the Patriots on Aug. 27, 2012.
Report: Broncos linebacker Von Miller facing six-game suspension
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoDenver Broncos linebacker Von Miller will likely be suspended for six games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter report.
Miller has been in the process of appealing the suspension, which was triggered by a "diluted sample" after Miller had spilled a sample that was collected prior to an offseason workout. Miller could not immediately provide another sample, but did provide one after consuming fluids during the workout. Miller's appeal of that suspension was supposed to occur last week before it was delayed until Aug. 20.
According to the ESPN report, Miller is "not likely" to appeal the six-game suspension, which could be handed down as early as Monday. However, Miller's camp is negotiating with the NFL to possibly have the number of games he is suspended reduced to four.
Still, it's one more thing Miller has to deal with.
Jets QB Geno Smith to miss preseason game against the Jaguars due to ankle injury
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoNew York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will not play in the team's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to his injured right ankle, the team announced two hours before kickoff.
Smith, a 2013 second-round pick out of West Virginia, is in a full-blown competition with Mark Sanchez for the starting job. Smith was the second quarterback in against the Detroit Lions last Friday night and played 14 snaps, but injured his ankle during a scramble in the opening minutes of the third quarter and was replaced by Greg McElroy.
Even though he was not 100 percent, the Jets allowed Smith to practice this week, a decision that may have negatively impacted his ability to play in Saturday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jets head coach Rex Ryan defended the decision to not rest Smith, citing the team being in the installation phase of training cam for giving him those live reps during the team's final practices of camp.

Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel to miss the remainder of the preseason due to knee injury
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoBuffalo Bills first-round quarterback E.J. Manuel will miss the remainder of the preseason after undergoing a surgical procedure on his left knee, head coach Doug Marrone announced on Saturday.
"EJ Manuel had some swelling in his left knee this morning and was examined by our medical staff. An MRI revealed that he will need to have a minor knee procedure and that has been scheduled," Marrone said. "He will miss the remainder of the preseason and then be re-evaluated at that time. Kevin Kolb will be our starting quarterback for this weekend's game at Washington."
With Manuel out for the remainder of the preseason, Kolb will likely be the Bills' starting quarterback when they open the regular season against the New England Patriots on Sept. 8.
In addition to Manuel's injury news, the Bills announced that wide receiver Kevin Elliott will miss the season with a torn ACL.

49ers rookie QB B.J. Daniels inserts himself into battle to backup Colin Kaepernick
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback B.J. Daniels has inserted himself in the mix for the No. 2 job behind starter Colin Kaepernick, head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Friday night.
"He's been there this past week," Harbaugh said after Daniels led the 49ers to a come-from-behind 15-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Daniels, the 237th player selected in the 2013 NFL draft, took over late in the third quarter, playing 24 snaps and completing six of nine pass attempts for 72 yards with a 14-yard go-ahead touchdown to rookie wideout Chuck Jacobs.
Daniels' performance on the final drive impressed Kaepernick.
"He had a great drive. He had a lot of poise and made plays when it really counted," Kaepernick said.
Daniels, a read-option quarterback at South Florida, was fourth on the depth chart when training camp started, but Harbaugh said earlier this month that Daniels was in the mix for the No. 2 job, which was thought to be between veterans Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien. However, neither have done much to solidify that role.
Fantasy Football video from Yahoo! Sports:
E.J. Manuel continues to push for Bills' starting quarterback job
Brian McIntyre at Shutdown Corner 1 yr agoBuffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone is not expected to make a decision on a starting quarterback two games into the preseason competition between veteran Kevin Kolb and first-round pick E.J. Manuel, but thus far, it appears as though Manuel will be the starter when the Bills open the regular season against the New England Patriots on Sept. 8.
Through two preseason games, Manuel has completed 26 of 33 pass attempts (a 78.8 completion percentage) for 199 yards with two touchdowns for a passer rating of 111.9. Manuel only scrambled one time for one yard against the Minnesota Vikings on Friday night, but he had a 24-yard run in the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts and his mobility adds another dimension to the Bills' offense.
As for Kolb, he would have started the preseason opener, but suffered a minor knee injury and missed some practice time to attend to a personal matter in the days before the meeting with the Colts. Kolb starting against the Vikings made sense as the coaching staff needed to see him work with the first-team offense to make an informed decision on who will start when the bullets begin to fly in September.

Moreover, eight percent of children in the U.S. - about one out of 13 - suffer from a food allergy.
The Pirates have reserved The Deck for fans - along with their families and friends - affected by life-threatening peanut allergies. The Pirates will also be providing tips throughout the game to help all fans be more aware of life-threatening allergic reactions.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs.
RA; Arthritis - rheumatoid
The cause of RA is unknown. It is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
RA can occur at any age, but is more common in middle age. Women get RA more often than men.
Infection, genes, and hormone changes may be linked to the disease.
Most of the time, RA usually affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles are the most commonly affected.
The disease often begins slowly. Early symptoms may include minor joint pain, stiffness, and fatigue.
Joint symptoms may include:
Other symptoms include:
There is no test that can determine for sure whether you have RA. Most people with RA will have some abnormal test results. However, some people will have normal results for all tests.
Two lab tests that often help in the diagnosis are:
Other tests that may be done include:
RA usually requires lifelong treatment, including medications, physical therapy, exercise, education, and possibly surgery. Early, aggressive treatment for RA can delay joint destruction.
Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs): These are often the drugs that are tried first in people with RA. They are prescribed along with rest, strengthening exercise, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Anti-inflammatory medications: These include aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen.
Antimalarial medications: This group of medicines includes hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil). They are most often used along with methotrexate. It may be weeks or months before you see any benefit from these drugs.
Corticosteroids: These medicines work very well to reduce joint swelling and inflammation, but they can have long-term side effects. Therefore should be taken only for a short time and in low doses when possible.
Biologic agents: These drugs are designed to affect parts of the immune system that play a role in the disease process of rheumatoid arthritis.
They may be given when other medicines for rheumatoid arthritis have not worked. At times, your doctor will start biologic drugs sooner, along with other rheumatoid arthritis drugs.
Most of them are given either under the skin (subcutaneously) or into a vein (intravenously). There are different types of biologic agents:
Biologic agents can be very helpful in treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, people taking these drugs must be watched very closely because of serious risk factors:
Other drugs:
Surgery may be needed to correct severely damaged joints. Surgery may include:
Range-of-motion exercises and exercise programs prescribed by a physical therapist can delay the loss of joint function and help keep muscles strong.
Sometimes, therapists will use special machines to apply deep heat or electrical stimulation to reduce pain and improve joint movement.
Other therapies that may help ease joint pain include:
Some people with RA may have intolerance or allergies to certain foods. A balanced nutritious diet is recommended. It may be helpful to eat foods rich in fish oils (omega-3 fatty acids).
Some people may benefit from taking part in an arthritis support group .
How well a person does depends on the severity of symptoms.
People with rheumatoid factor , the anti-CCP antibody, or subcutaneous nodules seem to have a more severe form of the disease. People who develop RA at a younger age also seem to get worse more quickly.
Permanent joint damage may occur without proper treatment. Early treatment with a three-drug combination known as "triple therapy" can decrease joint pain and damage. Many of the newer drugs have also shown positive results.
Rheumatoid arthritis can affect nearly every part of the body. Complications may include:
The treatments for RA can also cause serious side effects. Talk to your doctor about the possible side effects of treatment and what to do if they occur.
Call your health care provider if you think you have symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
There is no known prevention. Smoking cigarettes appears to worsen RA, so it is important to avoid tobacco. Proper early treatment can help prevent further joint damage.

It is said that there are parallel dimensions all around us. Everything is almost the same in everyone of them. Well, in this dimension, everyone has a Daiyi. A Daiyi is part of you, but it's in the form of an animal. That animal shows your personality. It represents your strength and will. It is, as I have said, a part of you. If your Daiyi is harmed, so are you. But this, of course, is forbidden.
Something is wrong in Gallea, our town. Children's Daiyi's are being stolen. Taken away for demented purposes. All of us can tell, because the children feel what their Daiyi feel, and it's not good. It's up to us to find out what's happened. Now who's with me?!
No guns.
Feel free to make up your own weapon! but you must explain what it does.
Water: Ice Shards, Freeze Your Enemies, Make Blizzards Happen In An Instant, Control The Seas!
Fire: Tame Volcanoes, Control Fire, Make Flames Appear Out Of Air!
Earth: Snap Vines At People, Control Tree Limbs, Make Plants Eat People, Grow Anything You Need!
Air: Master The Winds, Make Tornadoes, Hurricanes, and so much MORE!
(you can also make swords and daggers out of your elements)
------------------------Character Sheet--------------------------------
Name:(first and last)
Gender: (male or female)
Daiyi: (depends on your class.)
Age: (13-25.Your Daiyi is the same as you)
Class: (nothing other than the four elements)
Weapon:(anything! Except for guns. PM me if you want to have a gun. also depends on your class)
Description: (very detailed.)
Goal/Occupation:(money, to save the city or your friends! it's up to you)
Personality: (very detailed as well)
History: (at least one paragraph)
(I'll use mine as an example)
Name: Amelia Compass
Gender: Female
Daiyi: Timber Wolf
Age: 18
Class: Earth
Weapon: Grass Hammer.Made out of wood and grass. Able to level trees and break bones!
Description: Amelia is about 6'5, skinny, and somewhat muscular. She wears a black crop top, Dark Wash skinny jeans w/ a black and white checkerboard belt, black shades, and pink and black checkerboard converse. She wears faded brown arms warmers as well. She has long, purple hair, in which the fringe covers her right eye, contacts which make her eyes look white with black pupils and a black outline, and she has a scar across her left eye. She's very beautiful, despite it.
Goal/Occupation:To Save My Friends And My City
Personality: Amelia is very stoic, she rarely shows emotion around strangers and is very respectful, she's a tough fighter, able to hold her own up until the point of passing out and/or extreme fatigue, She has no known fears. When around friends, she is very playful.
History: Amelia was found on the doorstep of the Compass's on the back of her Daiyi, a Timber Wolf named Skarrie, when she was five years old. Her parents had passed away three days ago. They took her in and raised her until she was 16. Then she moved out to the outskirts of Gallea, to a house surrounded by grass and trees, so she could practice her skills. She's been hearing of the reports of kids' Daiyi's being stolen and plans to head out to find out what's going on. First, she needs to assemble a team.
----------------------------The Two Sides---------------------------------
Your are either trying to save the children and/or the city from The Burrow
or your part of The Burrow, who are stealing kids's Daiyi's to find out a way to live without them and prevent us from foiling their plans. Also, behind The Burrow, their president is secretly trying to rid the world of Daiyi's and anyone who has them.
It is your choice.
Only one of you can be The President of The Burrow. He's mostly not in the story, so if your not on the internet much or not on Snafu a lot, you might want to apply! and The President is 25, so... yeah
Ask me any questions you may have!

Grieffon wrote:Mon-Kitsune wrote:Well, I've had a theory that, much as some waterbenders can bend blood, some earth benders can probably "bend" bones. This might actually have some medical applications in bonesetting (much as, if you think of it, a blood bender might be able to save someone with a severed artery by keeping the blood inside). But, again, like bloodbending, it would likey mostly have a very dark side, letting the bender snap bones at will or move them like a puppet.
I don't think this can actually happen. Going from no seismic sense to the level of being able to sense the bones of the enemies will probably take years, unless Bolin had some talents, which I really doubt. He had been earthbending for years, so if he was actually a prodigy, he should be better than this.
As for the "dark" bending, a way I can see using firebending is taking away the heat from someone, like how Ozai redirect the heat of the volcano. Though that wouldn't be very practical, except for defeating someone without causing damages to them.
Oh don'tn get me wrong, I agree that, even if such a power existed, the odds of Bolin having it would be pretty remote. I was spinballing, goggy asked if there could be any more refined forms of earthbending, and bone bending was the best I could come up with. I then simply speculated on how interesting it could be if Bolin did find out he had it.
Q.U. wrote:Isn't lightning already the "dark" side of fire bending?
Who says "dark" bending only has to take one form. The mindbending we saw was also pretty dark in its appication. As I said above a bloodbender could probably stop someone bleeding out, but he could also probably cause every last drop of you blood to burst out of your veins, or all the moisture in your body to go into your lungs and literally drown you on dry land. Thanks to the Noatak training montage, we have already seen that somehow, a skilled bloodbender can cause animals (and presumaby people) to defy gravity and levitate. Seeing that, I would not put much of ANYTHING in the realm of "impossible" That's one of the things about "darkenss"and "evil" by definition, it's forms are numberless.

'Two Lives Lost to Heroin': A Harrowing, Early Portrait of Addicts
'We are animals in a world no one knows'
In February 1965, LIFE magazine published an extraordinary photo essay on two New York City heroin addicts, John and Karen. Photographed by Bill Eppridge, the pictures — and the accompanying article, reported and written by LIFE associate editor James Mills — were part of a two-part series on narcotics in the United States. A sensitive, clear-eyed and harrowing chronicle of, as LIFE phrased it, "two lives lost to heroin," Eppridge's pictures shocked the magazine's readers and brought the sordid, grim reality of addiction into countless American living rooms.
To this day, Eppridge's photo essay remains among the most admired and, for some, among the most controversial that LIFE ever published. His pictures and Mills' reporting, meanwhile, formed the basis for the 1971 movie, Panic in Needle Park, which starred Al Pacino and Kitty Winn as addicts whose lives spin inexorably out of control.
Here, on the heels of the sobering news that New York is again a major hub of a growing heroin trade in the U.S., LIFE.com presents Eppridge's "Needle Park" photo essay in its entirety, as it appeared in LIFE — a portrait of two young people who have become, as they themselves put it, "animals in a world no one knows."

One Put, One Call Option To Know About For 3M
Consistently, one of the more popular stocks people enter into their stock options watchlist at Stock Options Channel is 3M Co (MMM). So this week we highlight one interesting put contract, and one interesting call contract, from the July expiration for MMM. The put contract our YieldBoost algorithm identified as particularly interesting, is at the $140 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $1.15. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 0.8% return against the $140 commitment, or a 6.5% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Top YieldBoost MMM Puts »
Selling a put does not give an investor access to MMM's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. So unless 3M Co sees its shares decline 3.7% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $138.85 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $1.15 from $140), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 6.5% annualized rate of return.
Interestingly, that annualized 6.5% figure actually exceeds the 2.4% annualized dividend paid by 3M Co by 4.1%, based on the current share price of $145.40. And yet, if an investor was to buy the stock at the going market price in order to collect the dividend, there is greater downside because the stock would have to lose 3.69% to reach the $140 strike price.
Always important when discussing dividends is the fact that, in general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of 3M Co, looking at the dividend history chart for MMM below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 2.4% annualized dividend yield.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

All i have to say about these reviews is if you took some personal responsibility there wouldn't be as many issues. Everytime there is a fee change or an account change the bank notifies you 60 days ahead of time... maybe you should read your mail and stop blaming the bank for your laziness!!! Also, the include statement inserts... so if you opened your statement it would avoid 2 issues: you would know about the fee change and how to avoid it and you wouldn't over draft your account because you would be able to properly balance your check book! I've worked for many many banks and they are ALL the same! The bottom line is the customers have to have some personal accountability we can't do your banking for you we can only provide you with the information you need to do your own banking
Well I was an HSBC customer who was transfered over to First Niagara. I was a customer of HSBC for 6 years and did most of my banking online and had to contact the customer service department once for a lost card. I had a checking, savings and credit card transfered to First Niagara. The transfer was easy and so was setting up my online banking. After 6 months I noticed I got a 4 dollar mantainance fee on my checking account. I called and asked why and then stated in the customer service agreement and from what HSBC told me that you cannot change my original contract with HSBC you just aquired the accounts and would have to get my permission and signature to change any of my accounts.
They reversed the fee but failed to acknowledge my statement. He then offered to switch me to an echecking account which he stated do not aquire any fees. I obliged and later that month I got a letter stating that echecking accounts starting in December will start being charged a 3 dollar mantainence fee. Are you kidding me I went down and closed out my savings and checking account but left my Credit Card open.
Now here comes the fun part I purchased a course in march under my HSBC credit card and decided to cancel it in November. They refunded me the course but it went under my HSBC card number. I did not realize this and called HSBC after I did not see the funds deposited. They stated they have records of the original purchase however all my accounts and data were transfered to first niagara and that even if they did refund it to my credit card under HSBC First Niagara still would have recieved the refund and posted it to my account as they should still be attatched. Called First Niagara and after about 11 transfers to different departments they stated I should wait 10 days and call back. I called back and they acknowledged by a third party that the refund was issued however they do not know where it is. Then stated that is all they could do! Next step is small claims court
We deposited $1128 dollars into the account, and through the time it was in there on top of a payroll deposit as well, we continued to rack up $37 dollar fees (13 in all after the two days after the deposit) to a point where it was $500 +/- in the hole!
We asked for an explanation and all we received was that is the way the system works, something about debit places hold etc. I said OK could understand that on the day after but the majority (13 of them) were 5-6 days later, on debits of $30.00 we received $37.00 dollar charges. They will not and say they cannot do anything about it, a week before Christmas and 6 kids? We are 500 in the hole?
