Darrell Green Hosts 24th Annual Christmas With The RedskinsPosted by on December 10, 2013 – 3:54 pm
Darrell Green stood on a stage at the Hilton McLean Tyson's Corner and talked about childhood holidays when he was grateful just for a piece of fruit and a pair of ill-fitting shoes.
Shortly thereafter, two doors swung open and busloads of underprivileged children flooded the ballroom.
The Darrell Green Youth Life Foundation ensured kids from low-income and broken homes had a reason to celebrate at the 24th annual Christmas With the Redskins.
The children were treated to a buffet of sliders, chicken tenders, french fries and brownies. Behind a black curtain, tables full of stuffed animals, pink Barbie convertibles and action figures waited for new owners. Appropriately-sized sneakers had been selected for each individual. Read more »

Waiter Ryan Kerrigan Gets A Huge TipPosted by on December 3, 2013 – 11:07 am
"Would you like a crabcake?"
The burly waiter extended a silver tray of hors d'oeuvres, but the patrons were more interested in his autograph.
A black, rectangular name tag reading "Ryan" was affixed to a Ruth's Chris apron over a crisp white dress shirt and a diagonally-striped gray-and-white tie.
Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and nine of his teammates hustled for tips Tuesday at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Arlington, Va., as part of a Celebrity Waiter night to raise funds for Kerrigan's Blitz For The Better Foundation.
By the end of the night, Kerrigan's group had raised $108,000 for seriously ill, special needs and physically challenged children throughout the greater Washington, D.C., area. Read more »

Will Montgomery On Redskins Late NightPosted by on October 26, 2013 – 3:12 pm
Can an offensive lineman get some love please?
Maybe it's due to the buckets of sweat staining their jerseys after practice or this thought that if you block you spend your life watching Star Wars, memorizing the Dewey Decimal System and have a strict bedtime of 9pm, but offensive lineman are almost always the last to get media attention.
Will Montgomery isn't one of those typical boring guys—he goes to bed at 9:30pm and reads science e-books off an iPad. He also is the man who works closest with quarterback Robert Griffin III.
While a dream for most Redskins fans (to play offensive line of course—jeez Will you're so lucky) Montgomery went solo this week for "Redskins Late Night"—a show hosted by comedian Chris Paul airing exclusively on NBC-4 Sunday mornings at 1:30am.
Here's a sneak peak at Montomgery's time on set:

What Went Right: Week 6Posted by on October 14, 2013 – 12:44 pm
Highlight: Alfred Morris busts the longest run of his career, a 45-yard touchdown to cut the lead to single digits.
What went right: This is what a well executed zone running play looks like. The offensive line and the runner are moving in perfect concert. This play is successful because each blocker completes his assignment, Morris has the vision to be decisive and then breaks a tackle to complete the big gain. Center Will Montgomery has to trust guard Kory Lichtensteiger to handle the defensive tackle. Watch how quickly he passes the defender off, leaving the double team to get to the next level and seal off Sean Lee in the middle. Outside linebacker Justin Durant keys on fullback Darrel Young, effectively running himself out of the play. Morris sees the lane, cuts upfield and has the patience to make a another cut off Montgomery. Orlando Scandrick can't square up on Morris, and the runner shakes him off to complete the play.

VIDEO: Will Montgomery Google+ HangoutPosted by on September 27, 2013 – 10:26 am
Always an afterthought with the media, the offensive line is one of the most important units in terms of success rate. If you have a great offensive line, then chances are you'll have a great offense too.
The Redskins have both and it all starts with veteran center Will Montgomery.
Montgomery was the latest Redskin to sit down with a collection of lucky Redskins fans as part of the team's Google+ Hangout Series and talked about this guy he works with real closely.
No not me. That quarterback that won AP Offensive Rookie of the Year—Robert Griffin III.
While being a dream of most Redskins fans (to play offensive line of course—jeez you're so lucky Will), they asked him other hard-hitting questions.
Here's what they were:

Fans Now Straw That Stirs Madden RatingsPosted by on August 28, 2013 – 11:09 am
On your drive to work yesterday morning you probably saw what millions of others did and tweeted (at a stop of course) your observations. Taillights, stoplights (tweeting commences), taillights, congested highway ramps, taillights and a long line of diehard Madden fans waiting to get the 25th edition of the virtual gaming experience.
Since its birth in 1988 on what are now seen as archaic video game systems, the EA Madden football franchise has grown rapidly into one of the top grossing sports entities of all time. Just last year, Madden 13 sold over 1.65 million copies—in the first week. Yeah that's a lot of homework being passed on.
Last week the Redskins Blog released the overall ratings for each player on the roster (yes some have been cut since that time and the next roster update will reflect accordingly) and fans chimed in with disgruntled outrage at how low the Redskins are as a whole. London Fletcher 82? Will Montgomery the only player rated higher than 89 on the offense? Trent Williams' passing accuracy a whole astonishing eight overall?
Gasps—we have proof to debunk that claim. He's probably got 14 accuracy.
Under scrutiny for years, the guys at EA are now giving the fans the chance to directly impact the weekly ratings updates. Guess who's up first. No, no it isn't Chris Chester although he's close–about a fanny length away actually. Try Robert Griffin III and the rest of his 2012 NFL Draft classmates.

Brainiac Will Montgomery Knows SciencePosted by on August 5, 2013 – 1:14 pm
And he also knows a thing or two about football.
Washington Redskins veteran center Will Montgomery is known mostly for being a football player. Since being drafted in the seventh round of the all too famous 2006 NFL Draft, the former Virginia Tech Hokie has appeared in 74 games, the last 61 in burgundy and gold.
What isn't associated with Montgomery's public profile though, is his two degrees from his alma mater. After redshirting the 2001 season, Montgomery had an extra year of eligibility to pursue a masters in health promotion after already receiving a bachelors in business information technology.
Instead of just nailing his diplomas to the Montgomery household walls, the center has applied the curriculum to his position.

Hall, Tapp To Reunite In WashingtonPosted by on April 4, 2013 – 9:28 am
With official word that the Washington Redskins have resigned cornerback DeAngelo Hall, his teammates were excited to have him back to help defend the 2012 NFC East title.
Hall has been with the Burgundy and Gold since 2008 when the team signed him to a deal that November. In his five years in Washington, number 23 has appeared in 68 games, starting 64, and was selected to represent the NFC in the 2010 Pro Bowl.
While Hall will see familiar faces from his time in the DMV such as Josh Wilson, Reed Doughty and Robert Griffin III, there is one man who has seen the talented player grow since his high school days in Chesapeake, Virginia.

All-NFC East Team Is Released; RG3 MVPPosted by on December 27, 2012 – 1:33 pm
A season-best nine Washington Redskins players today were named to ESPN.com NFC East blogger Dan Graziano's final All-NFC East Team. Additionally, Graziano named rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III the NFC East's Most Valuable Player.
The Redskins' nine selections tied the Dallas Cowboys for the most 2012 All-NFC East team selections. Following the division leaders were the New York Giants (six selections) and the Philadelphia Eagles (three).
Like it was in the NFL's Pro Bowl voting, Washington (9-6) was well-represented in all three aspects — offense, defense and special teams — in the 2012 All-NFC East Team. The Redskins had five selections on offense, three on defense and one on special teams.
Here's the entire list of Redskins representatives on the final All-NFC East Team:

Several Redskins On PFF Pro Bowl RosterPosted by on December 19, 2012 – 3:56 pm
Fan voting for the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl is officially over, and the league's coaches and players don't vote until later this week, but four prominent members of the Washington Redskins' offense have already made the NFC Pro Bowl roster — at least to the folks at ProFootballFocus.com.
The organization today released its own Pro Bowl rosters, and quarterback Robert Griffin III, running back Alfred Morris, left tackle Trent Williams and center Will Montgomery all made the cut.
Here's what ProFootballFocus.com had to say about each Redskins' performance so far this season:

Part of Deferred Division – in the House of Commons at 4:28 pm on 2nd April 2008.
I am grateful for that intervention, and for the hon. Gentleman sharing his knowledge on the matter.
I deal now with noise pollution in particular. There is no doubt that the expansion of Heathrow will result in extra noise pollution for local residents. The key figure quoted by the Government is 57 dB, as that is the level at which community annoyance sets in. BAA has estimated that more than 250,000 people now live inside the 57 dB contour. They are therefore affected already, but the proposed expansion will make the problem much worse.
In fact, the problem is even more serious, as the World Health Organisation has challenged the Government's view on noise thresholds. It has argued that 50 dB is the appropriate level for determining annoyance, and that 55 dB constitutes serious annoyance. Therefore, even according to the BAA figures, it is clear that all the people in the immediate area are experiencing serious annoyance, according to the WHO definition.
In November 2007 the Government published a study entitled "Attitudes to Noise from Aviation Sources in England", and Ministers will know that it reinforces the WHO's argument very strongly. Although there are "only" 250,000 residents in Heathrow's 57 dB area, another 2 million people live within the 50 dB area. Adding those figures together gives us the total number of people the WHO believes are being affected by noise pollution at the present time, so what will the total be if the planned expansion goes ahead?
The Government said that they would not go ahead with Heathrow expansion if the number of people living in the 57 dB area increased. How will the Government square having a third runway with that pledge on noise? We have heard nothing about that.
In addition, the new flight path will pass over such places as Heston, Chiswick, north Hammersmith, Kensington and Chelsea, Langley, Slough and Maidenhead. A total of 150,000 people live in those areas, but do the Government believe that they do not count?
On top of all that, Heathrow expansion would have significant impacts on health. The 1999 study into public health impacts at large airports that was carried out for the Dutch Government found evidence to suggest that exposure to the air pollution levels observed within an airport's operations system—and in that sense Heathrow is the largest airport in the world—was linked to higher mortality rates, and to more frequent hospital admissions as a result of the aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular problems. The study also found that air pollution was linked to decreased lung function, and an increase in chronic respiratory conditions. What assessment have the Government made of the current health implications for people who live near Heathrow, and what assessment have they made, seriously, of the implications if a third runway is given the go-ahead?

Merger regulation, firms, and the co-evolutionary process: An empirical study of internationalisation in the UK alcoholic beverages industry 1985-2005
We present an historic industry study of the consolidation of the UK alcoholic beverages firms to inform debates in organisation studies relating to co-evolution and the dynamics of internationalisation. We distinguish behavioural and structural co-evolutionary factors in firms' strategic intent, mirroring the two types of remedies that competition authorities can impose on merging firms. We test this theoretical construct in an empirical investigation of the consolidating UK alcoholic beverages firms between 1985 and 2005. In this era Diageo was formed from the landmark merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness. Subsequently Diageo acquired the former international spirits empire of Seagram in partnership with a major competitor. Successful implementation of Diageo's merger strategy owed much to an ability to navigate the evolving multijurisdictional co-ordinated oversight of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. The formation of novel deal structures as well as co-operation with competitors to circumvent policy intervention were significant co-evolutionary mechanisms that have featured more generally in subsequent international mergers as others have copied these deal structures to achieve similar regulatory outcomes.

|Live Christmas Music at the Americana in Glendale, California (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Andrew Bernardin at A Daily Dose of Doubt (update: link no longer active) asks whether he is the only one offended by what he describes as an "involuntary audio bath in dogma." No Andrew, you are certainly not alone. I'm not sure if "offended" is the best label for how I feel. For me, being offended generally includes some element of surprise (i.e., I can't believe they are doing such and such). In this situation, I don't have this reaction. I expect the pervasive noise pollution each December. So what terms would I use to describe by emotional reaction? I'm probably somewhere between "annoyed" and "disgusted" (depending on the level of blatant Jesus content) when encountering this celebration of ancient superstition.
Andrew does an excellent job of describing his thought process when the music strikes his ears. He tries to reassure himself that the Jesus music comes from an understandable human desire to celebrate tradition.
I attempted to temper my feelings of having my ears and beliefs violated with this line of reasoning: It's just folk music. They're telling stories about folk heroes.Andrew then remembers that lives have been ruined - even lost - for the crime of not believing in the phenomena described by these songs. He realizes that many people today think less of him for not believing in them himself.
Like Andrew, I would prefer that all the Christ stuff be kept out of the public sphere, whether it is December or any other month. However, I recognize that this is may be an unrealistic expectation. When a business chooses to play this music, they are catering to the majority of employees and shoppers. As long as their competitors are doing the same, I'm not sure anybody can question the soundness of this business decision. However, by catering to the wishes of the Christian majority, they are alienating non-believers and non-Christian believers. I can't imagine that Jews are going to be any more thrilled than I am with having to hear about Jesus each time they go shopping.
I do not do much shopping any time of year, and December is no different. Other than weekly trips to the grocery store and periodic trips to home improvement stores, I meet most of my minimal shopping needs online. Much like Andrew, I try to avoid the businesses that can be counted on to play the most Jesus-centric music this time of year. If I wanted to go to church, I would go. I don't - I want to be able to shop when I must without being bombarded by religious nonsense. What I hadn't considered until reading Andrew's post was going the next step and letting the businesses I avoid know why they are losing my business.

This book considers in unprecedented detail one of the most confounding questions in American racial practice: when to speak about people in racial terms. Viewing "race talk" through the lens of a California high school and district, Colormute draws on three years of ethnographic research on everyday race labeling in education. Based on the author's experiences as a teacher as well as an anthropologist, it discusses the role race plays in everyday and policy talk about such familiar topics as discipline, achievement, curriculum reform, and educational inequality.
Pollock illustrates the wide variations in the way speakers use race labels. Sometimes people use them without thinking twice; at other moments they avoid them at all costs or use them only in the description of particular situations. While a major concern of everyday race talk in schools is that racial descriptions will be inaccurate or inappropriate, Pollock demonstrates that anxiously suppressing race words (being what she terms "colormute") can also cause educators to reproduce the very racial inequities they abhor.
The book assists readers in cultivating a greater understanding of the pitfalls and possibilities of everyday race talk and clarifies previously murky discussions of "colorblindness." By bridging the gap between theory and practice, Colormute will be enormously helpful in fostering ongoing conversations about dismantling racial inequality in America.
"Pollock attacks the topic with strength, providing a clear, compelling, and well-written argument. She helps readers cultivate greater understanding of the pitfalls and possibilities of daily race talk. A necessary and important work in fostering ongoing conversations about dismantling racial inequality in the United States."--Library Journal
"The dilemma at the heart of this book is the same dilemma at the heart of US society: practically no available form of public discourse about racial topics or issues actually engages with what race i. . . . This book's ethnographic setting, detailed observations, and transcripts provide a close-up look at a vexing everyday issue, demonstrating an important performative dimension in the generation of racialization."--Bonnie Urciuoli,Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
"The scholarship is provocative, the text well written, and the argument clear and compelling. Pollock is a truly gifted writer."--Michelle Fine, City University of New York
"Professor Pollock attacks a vitally important topic with vitality and an engaging and very readable style. Displaying a keen ear, she has artfully picked up the nuances of 'race talk' from students she has taught and observed. Pollock presents a troubling, but significant finding: Talking in racial terms can make race matter; but so too, can not speaking in racial terms."--Hugh Mehan, University of California San Diego
"This welcome book invites us to become more critically conscious of 'race talk' and thus more aware of how even our silences can reproduce racial hierarchies."--Charles Payne, Duke University
"Pollock's profound insights about the dilemmas of race talk and silence will change the way Americans think about language, social categories, and the responsibilities we must face if we are ever to make headway against racial inequality."--Katherine S. Newman, Princeton University

text: A big RB at 230lbs who should run in the 4.55 range. Can help in the passing game and is a decent blocker. Just think of this...Dayne and Hunt RB duo. Defenses would have to go against 2 power backs all game long which would really open up the passing game. He's faster and quicker than Dayne, and should Dayne get injured, we still have a power back.

Dave Grohl might never be canonized on gloomy Hot Topic tees a la dearly departed bandmate Kurt Cobain, but this much we now know is true: The most talented guy in Nirvana was actually the drummer.
Grunge — and, for that matter, Nirvana — aged with all the grace and post-'90s reverence of Pauly Shore. I was in my early 20s during those daze, and although I had my own share of dumb angst, I just wasn't buying what the Seattle 3 was selling. And yet, once the pity party was over, Grohl, freed from his suicidal captain's shadow, proved to be the most consistently likable rock god of the past two decades.
You have to wonder if even Grohl bought into all of Cobain's doomsaying. Out of the gate in '94, Grohl's new crew, Foo Fighters, mixed prehistoric power chords with sun-dappled Brian Wilson harmonies. Plus, who knew the spastic tub-thumper could sing that well — the most sensitive soul in the biker gang! The Foos had us hooked from the opening strains of debut smash This Is a Call. Grunge is gone, he said; now let's have a little fun.
As proved by new FF album Wasting Light — a rambunctious charmer being released today and produced, ironically enough, by old Nirvana knob-twiddler Butch Vig — Grohl never wavered from that feel-good formula. And why would he? No one mixes power pop and Sabbathian thunder like Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins and the rest of the Foos. Plus there's a little extra oomph this time around: In a sweet vintage cameo, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic joins Grohl for the first time in a long time. It's a reunion, and a happy one at that.
First single Rope regains that old Foo flair for the sonic haymaker; the song is pretty but tough, unlikely harmonies offsetting the song's Zep-inspired framework. A Matter of Time generates the same kind of rumble and sweat but adds a sneaky element: Grohl getting wistful about past mistakes. I Should Have Known packs punch, too; it's a fuzzed-out haunted blues, with a ghostly chorus in the shape of a somber string section.
The Foos have amassed a considerable string of hits: Big Me, Monkey Wrench, Everlong, My Hero, to name of few. Adding to that impressive list, and maybe even surpassing it, is Wasting Light's big beating heart, Walk. The album closer plays like a microcosm of Foo excellence: a tingly preface, a heart-racing chorus and a surprise mid-song twist that sounds like a prison break of street poets. When Grohl begs for his life at Walk's end — "I never wanna die! I never wanna die!" — it's a powder-keg moment. The man wants to live. That may not get Grohl immortalized as a lost rock angel, but something tells me he's just fine with that.

Log-Normal Interest Rate Models: Stability and Methodology
The lognormal distribution assumption for the term structure of interest is the most natural way to exclude negative spot and forward rates. However, imposing this assumption on the continuously compounded interest rate has a serious drawback: rates explode and expected rollover returns are infinite even if the rollover period is arbitrarily short. As a consequence such models cannot price one of the most widely used hedging instrument on the Euromoney market, nameley the Eurodollar future contract. The purpose of this paper is twofold: First to show that the problems with lognormal models result from modelling the wrong rate, namely the continuously compounded rate. If instead one models the effective annual rate these problems disappear. Second to give a survey on recent work on lognormal term structure models for effective or nominal forward rates.

250ml Bitspower - By Carlos G at 07/05/2014
Great reservoir, sturdy strong well built, crystal clear glass like. Replaced my 150ml to this 250ml, just make sure you have enough space in your case..I installed this in my Switch 810. It comes with everything you see in the picture including the anti-cyclone which stop the water from doing a cyclone.

This is a pretty slick reservoir it has everything needed but may need to mod your case to fit it in. It fits nicely in my nxzt Switch810 but had to drill holes for the braces and the pump. Nice anti cyclone feature n works well for my needs.

Weather cools food drive total but not volunteers
Business Directory
By Roxanne McKnight
Staff Writer
Mexia's Food for Families food drive Friday brought in much food, though far short of its goal thanks to exceptionally cold weather.
Marjorie Parks, who directed the event in Mexia, said around mid-morning that she was pleased with the turnout and donations.
"We're about a fourth of the way there," she said at 10 a.m., but she was well aware that the miserable weather would cut down on their totals for the drive.
The temperature was 39 degrees when the drive began at 6 a.m. and fell several more degrees throughout the day. Mist and drizzle also fell throughout the day, made worse by windy conditions.

ALBANY — The latest plans for the University Village project have been posted on the city's website (http://www.albanyca.org/index.aspx?page=521).
The project, which includes a Sprouts Farmers Market and other retail along with senior housing, will be taken up at a meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, perhaps as early as October.
The commission has had multiple study sessions on the current version of the project and the new plans are a further refinement after the commission gave feedback to representatives of the University of California and developer Oppidan.
The new plans include a bike path around the grocery store parcel and several trees in the parking lot. Concerns had been raised that the retail part of the project was "overparked," meaning too many parking spaces. Parking appears to be reduced from 136 spaces to 125.
The project has been in development for years. It is on land owned by the University of California and adjacent to land used by the university for agricultural research known as the Gill Tract.
Project opponents have contended that the Gill Tract should be preserved as the last undeveloped farmland in the area. Activist group Occupy the Farm has camped on the land and planted crops multiple times over the past year and a half. The university has evicted the protesters by force several times.

Judgement reserved in case of couple accused of kidnapping grandson
Mr Justice Michael Peart has reserved judgement in the extradition case involving a County Cork couple who're accused of kidnapping their grandson from Chicago over two years ago.
Timothy and Ethel Blake from Cobh face a charge each of aggravated kidnapping the then nine year old boy if they're surrendered to the US authorities.
Their lawyers have today said no formal extradition request has been made by the US authorities.
The judge said he would mention the case on the 16th of November.

The Next Big Thing
Photo by James BunoanYou jaded hipsters can thank me now or you can thank me later, but I have discovered our newest star in the unlikeliest of places: Santa Ana's creaky Ye Olde Ship. That's right, Big Sandy: you might have discovered Phil Shane, but I have discovered Pete "The Treat" Dawson. Now everyone go be a fan, right away!
On Saturday nights (but only until 11 p.m., when the place capsizesor something), Pete strums. And while he strums, he programs his Elba and pumps the pedals on his footie-controlled bass, and he plays not one but two harmonicas that sound as rich and full as Chris Gaffney's accordion. And while he does all that, the old salt sings. In the most poignant, honeyed warble, he sings of England and Britannia ruling and all the other seaswept shanties one expects from a creaky old Brit bar. No, he doesn't know any Clash—but Burt Bacharach? He has a few! And as he sits behind his synthesizer (in a captain's cap straight from Muskrat Love), he chats gratefully with the seven people who have come to see him play.
But, my friends, five of those seven were annoying young wanna-Mods who wore newsboy caps and thought they were sensitive and interesting, like Morrissey, except they blabbered constantly to one another and were neither. They kept making requests like Pete was a jukebox, one after another (not just a few judicious favorites, but any song by any British band they could think of), and they were requesting Blur and snickering because Pete is clearly old and un-with-it and they are young and full of oats. But they are dull, and Pete is interesting. And Pete, when singing "That's Amore," gets racy and sings the dirty version: "When she says, 'What the hell/Let's go get a motel'/That's Amore." And Pete is sad-eyed and gentle. And Pete is British but sings with an American country-and-western accent, even on Beatles songs. And when people ask Pete for an original, Pete is humble and self-deprecating and says things like, "I can't write my own songs. That's why I'm playing here." Also, Pete welcomes guest singers, so warm up your pipes and go on Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m. Watch Pete with rapt attention. Cheer Pete. Adore Pete. Buy Pete a cognac and make him your own. But mostly, shut your yaps.

Earlier Saturday night, we'd hit the new Caged Chameleon at the old Koo's Art Caf, for a Foxy Ladies and Men Enter the Dragon party. We were there to celebrate the birthday of the Chameleon's Richard Espinachio, and the party was appropriately mad and perfect, with empty rooms given over to Bruce Lee projections and sexy loungy cushiony places crying out for a hookah. We dined on the vegetarian stylings of Richard himself (Richard is an amazing cooker!) and took in the amazing change Richard and Eric have wrought in the formerly hard-lived-like-a-hooker Koo's. We were, however, distraught by the lack of a trace of the Koo's graffiti wall. "We got a ton of shit about that!" Richard confirmed. "We promise, we'll do [a graffiti] exhibit!" Partying alongside Richard and Eric were Huntington Beach oldster-supervisor Randy Pesqueira and his David Amendariz; artist Ken Ruzic; and some of the most glamorously earthy fag hags this side of Grace Adler. The fright wigs, though, were generally not a good look for the boys, girls or birls.

Last week, I was lazy and didn't want to continue my As Seen on TV Gift Guide. The week before, I wasn't at my most productive either. But whew! Now we be back on the game! All "gifts" can be purchased at the As Seen on TV store in The Block at Orange. Go shop!
• Miracle Mitt. Do I really have to tell you that this is not a gift for a wife or girlfriend, but rather only for an anal-retentive sister or gay friend who has already expressed a wish for one? Apparently, I do, since my best friend Greg the Fireman was all set to give Annie His Special Lady a set of tires for her 30th birthday. However, I'm happy to report the chemical-free duster is handy and does work—unlike . . . • Twist 'N Hook.Since I rearranged my room and blocked the door to the side hall, I now have to walk the length of the living room every time I want to pee. In order to not give the neighbors a big, fat show every night, I must either wear pajamas or—much more likely—a robe. I would like to hang this robe by my bedroom door, and I would like to do that with a miraculous Twist 'N Hook, which can be used again and again holding up to 20 pounds! Except they don't. They don't even hold a robe. Unless you lick the back of them, which is not on the directions or anywhere in the ad. Licking Twist 'N Hooks is gross. • Marvin's Magic Drawing Board. Couldn't figure out how to use this cool-looking thing for the life of me. My son lost interest after exactly seven seconds. • Twist & Dry. More comfortable on one's head than a big huge towel, for those going for the Elizabeth Taylor Bald Years look. Doesn't absorb that well, but nice and lightweight for those who, like me, have slender, swanlike necks. • Euroblaster. Do you live in Long Beach? Do you wake up every morning to freshly fallen silt from the prettily belching port? The Euroblaster works great at cleaning one's disgustingly dirty house, plus you can shoot neighborhood ruffians with a stream of water as forceful as the Reverend Lou Sheldon's hot air. Be sure to hide it inside the house when you're done, though. Leaving a hose accessory that looks like a gattling gun unattended is like leaving Todd Spitzer with a television camera. It's tantamount to entrapment.

Ravel and Dahl
This week's performance is all about economy. Not in the financial sense, but with regard to the pursuit of getting a lot from a little, and our program featuring works of Maurice Ravel and Ingolf Dahl accomplishes just that.
The music of Maurice Ravel, along with that of Claude Debussy, is often referred to as "impressionistic," a nod to a similar classification which was being applied to visual artists such as Monet and Degas in the second half of the 20th Century. Labels are always tricky, and much like their colleagues in the visual arts, Debussy and Ravel weren't necessarily thrilled with the term "impressionism." Ravel in particular is known to be an incredibly careful and even thrifty composer—in his music, not a single note is wasted. This is certainly the case in his "Sonata for Violin and Cello." With the absence of the piano, this work relies on precise and lean counterpoint to create excitement and variety, and employs a broad palette of harmonic flavors and instrumental colors to create depth. Husband and wife team Megan and James Holland (violin and cello, respectively) combine their considerable powers for this performance.
Also on the program: the Hollands will be joined by Chatter Artistic Director and Clarinetist, James Shields, in a performance of Ingolf Dahl's "Concerto à Tre." Scored for Clarinet, Violin, and Cello; this simple and charming work is all too rarely heard. Born in Germany in 1912, Dahl emigrated to Los Angeles in 1939, where he had a diverse and varied career as a performer, conductor, arranger, and composer. Completed in 1947, the "Concerto à Tre" is a surprisingly substantial work, and contains passages of virtuosic fantasy as well as pastoral simplicity. One wonders if Dahl's musical taste had been influenced by his time in America, as listeners may hear hints of Copland and perhaps Irving Fine mingled in with his European aesthetic up-bringing.
This week, the spoken word portion of the program will be presented by Michelle Otero. A writer, actor, and teacher, Otero is the author of "Malinche's Daughter," an essay collection based on her work with women survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault as a Fulbright Fellow in Oaxaca, Mexico. Her work has appeared in New Mexico Magazine, Brevity, Puerto del Sol, and other literary journals. She is member of the Macondo Writers' Workshop. A tenth-generation New Mexican, she is Creative Director of Valle Encantado, an organization promoting sustainable development initiatives in Albuquerque's Atrisco neighborhood.
Chatter Sunday Admission prices are $15 regular, $9 for those under 30, and $5 for children under 12, available at the door. The Frequent Attender Pass gives patrons 11 admissions for the price of 10 and can be purchased at the Chatter website, chatterabq.org.

LGB&T health award win for The LGF's Chief Executive
Publish Date: 09/04/2014
The Gay and Lesbian Association of Doctors and Dentists (GLADD) is honouring Paul Martin OBE, Chief Executive of The Lesbian & Gay Foundation (The LGF), with the David Harvey Award for improving the health and lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGB&T) patients and staff.
The David Harvey Award is named in honour of the prominent paediatrician, who was out as a gay man for most of his professional life. He was not afraid to stand up and be counted at a time when many gay professionals felt unable to do so.
Paul Martin OBE, Chief Executive of The LGF, said: "I'm incredibly honoured to receive this award; it's wonderful to be personally recognised by GLADD, who are a brilliant organisation to work with. This honour is equally shared with The LGF's amazing staff and volunteers for all of their hard work and commitment.
"With the changes to the health sector at the moment, it's very important to work together with doctors and health practitioners to ensure that the needs of LGB&T people are met and incorporated into the health agenda. Now more than ever, it's vital that LGB&T voices are heard. If you're not counted in today's NHS, then your needs don't count – that's why the monitoring of all staff and patients' sexual orientation is vital," he added.
GLADD, established in 1995, are great supporters of The LGF and are the UK's only organisation that unites and represents LGB&T doctors and dentists from all over the country.
Co-Chair of GLADD, Dr Rafik Taibjee, said: "Paul was nominated by the Executive Committee for his enduring commitment to LGB&T health issues. He has worked on Pride in Practice, the NHS LGB&T Health Summits, and continues to campaign to achieve changes such as sexual orientation monitoring and coding, to ensure patients get the best service they can. As such, he has always been an invaluable resource of knowledge and support for GLADD."
The award will be given at GLADD's annual dinner and AGM at the Montague Hotel in London on Saturday 12th April, where Paul will also be delivering the Peter King Memorial Lecture.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Wolf, Dec 10, 2006.
6 minutes in the 4th, I haven't seen him in the lineup for the last 3 plays?
Think that foot is bothering him?
Where has he been THE WHOLE game? Other than that offsides penalty, I havent hear Mario the whole game.
Mario needs to just shut it down for a couple of weeks and fix that foot, he is not really doing anything but adding fuel that drafting him first was a BAD decision
Has this guy made one single play that meant anything this season?
I didn't even notice Mario was playing anyways. He was a non-factor.
4.5 sacks. marios foot hurts!!!!! leave him alone, the man is handicaped out there!
2 tackles, 1 assist. what's not to like?
ryans did not do much better.............most of his tackles were on th ewrong side of the LOS and THenry ran right through him on his second TD. Over 200 in the air and the ground................And VY put the exclaimation point on it.
Mario...???...oh that guy we took over Vince...oh I'm not sure, all I know is that he was pretty non-existent today.....I seriously don't see the big fuss over this guy....he's an average player.
Yeah. He almost won the game for them!
"You can't beat the Colts without a good defense"
Muh haahaahahaha
ha. yeah vince young wont do what he did in college because defensive players are a lot bigger.
Don't forget faster!
Uh, yeah. That Mario Williams guy is mighty feared.
I mean he has to be the least talked about No. 1 pick in NFL history. The broadcasters barely even mentioned him.
He had ZERO impact on the game.
I see your still drinking the Mario koolaid..
Not many did that lol
So two tackles and assist was alright for you. You just don't have very high expectations. And don't give me that crap that they didn't run to his side becuse the titans ran all over the texans no matter what side they ran to.
Someone gave me bad rep on my previous post where I said Mario was a non-factor, the rep said simply "not true"
Who are these people?

This plate belonged to my husbands grandmother, and I am trying to find out some information about it. I can't completely make out the company's name. I can read a letter or symbol at the beginning and then a Ca??ers LTD. I would like to know more about this and the history behind it. Any information would be appreciated. Thank You.

This 7 inch Quezal vase is one of the finest examples of the gaffer's art that I have ever seen. The execution of the shape and decoration is just superb. As an added feature, it is made using aventurine green glass. The matte surface pretty much masks the sparkle which appears as tiny black dots, but is very apparent on the bottom and in the pontil mark where the iridizing spray did not reach. Is it experimental? I guess it's rather academic since the sparkle doesn't normally show. (1994)

We see political uprisings, market crashes, and a never ending array of social trends. How do we make sense of it? Models. Evidence shows that people who think with models consistently outperform those who don't. And, moreover people who think with lots of models outperform people who use only one. Why do models make us better thinkers? Models help us to better organize information - to make sense of that fire hose or hairball of data (choose your metaphor) available on the Internet.

Laws have always regulated who may marry, the obligations
related to marriage and children and whether and how a
marriage can be ended. Governments have always put their own
social agenda above the pluralism of personal choice. Never
in history have governments considered marital relations
strictly private. In the U. S. tax code, hundreds of assumptions and provisions
are based on the definition of marriage. And many more are
found in federal entitlement programs, immigration laws and
social benefits. A man and a woman living together outside of marriage are
taxed separately.

Virginia's Sales Tax Holiday: Hurricane and Emergency Preparedness Equipment.
Memorial Day
George Marotta was featured in an article in Reuters on how grandparents can have a large positive impact on children and grandchildren, with specific examples of ways finances can bring families together.
Diversifying your asset allocation among investments with a
low correlation can and should reduce your portfolio's
volatility and boost your returns. But critics are claiming
this strategy is no longer valid. That's because they don't
understand the nature of what happened in 2008. Fickle followers of asset allocation point to the market
drop in the fourth quarter of 2008 as evidence that
diversification has been discredited. Every investment
philosophy and asset class moved downward at the same time. They point out that asset classes are more highly correlated
when stocks move down than when they move up.

Thanks for the heuristic! I never realized that before! I think this will help improve my coding.
(If there's a larger source where you picked that up, I'd be benefitted by a pointer.)
Thought I've later found that others point this out, I doubt how I learned this [perl.org] will help you
I figured a concrete example would help. Imagine this awful method from some Catalyst code I was working on:
sub _set_group_by : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
my $group_by = 'day';
my $period = $c->stash->{report_metadata}{period};
my $report_range
= $c->stash->{report_metadata}{start}->day_month_year
. ' – '
In this case, it's done via a customer selecting a URL, so it's up to the customer to decide what they want and we don't have to.
A better example would be with Java:
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
public void setName(String first, String last) {
this.name = first + " " + last;
In regular Perl (no modules), it sometimes gets mistakenly rewritten as this:
sub name {
my ( $self, $first, $last ) = @_;
$self->{name} = $last ? "$
This was a tiny example and merely a first-pass refactor. If you look at the actual code I checked in, you'll see it's much cleaner.
sub report : Chained('somewhere?') PathPart('') CaptureArgs(0) {
my ( $self, $c, @args ) = @_;
$c->action->chain->[-1]->name =~
or die 'Chain ends at action with malformed name';
$c->stash->{report_metadata}{period} = $1;
$c->forward('_set_start_and_end_dates'); # inline this?
sub report_day : Chained('report') PathPart('') CaptureArgs(0) {
my ( $self, $c, @args ) = @_;

Harris talks about Clinton, Bush and the future
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris spoke to some reporters (but alas, not the Buzz) at the Ruskin Seafood Festival Sunday afternoon. Here are some of the highlights.
--On former President Bill Clinton's remark from a rally with Bill Nelson that Harris can't "refuse to count or disqualify enough votes to win on Election Day."
"I guess he'll just have to wait and see on Nov. 7," she said.
--On attending President George W. Bush's rally on Monday:
"They called, invited us to come and said we'd be on stage," she said. "That's all I know."

text: The New York Times "Behind the Screens, Between the Lines" weblog reports that Nickelodeon veteran Brown Johnson has been removed as president of animation and head of preschool programming as part of a larger management shake-up intended to reverse a sharp decline in ratings for the network. Johnson is credited with bringing kidvid hits from Blue's Clues to Dora the Explorer to Nickelodeon, and is also credited with "the pause," where a character makes a choreographed pause during a show to allow children to actively respond to the TV. In other management moves, Russell Hicks was elevated to president of content development nad production, Margie Cohn was named to the new position of president of content development, and Paula Kaplan will serve as executive vice president of current series.


text: I had not bought a phone since I bought the very first iphone on the very first weekend. Finally my iphone broke where the screen didn't work and I decided to get a new phone. One thing I knew is that I was NEVER EVER going to buy another iphone again as I hated not having flash all this time. Ok, it seems that everywhere I look at apps they are saying I have to have root. Whether I am looking at screencapture software, backup software, you name it, everything says I have to have root. Well I understand the concept of root from playing around with my websites, but other than that I am lost. I bought a very cheap $99 t-mobile concord (Brcm zte v768). It seems that everywhere I go, everyone mentions coming to either this site or one other site out there, but nowhere can I find the info I need. Is there a simple thread somewhere that will give me the download link to the software for my phone and what I need to do? I'm not kidding when I say that I have been on google for the better part of 7 hours now and I am no further along than when I started. Please Obi Wan... your my only hope

While in Florida visiting family for the holiday and failing to thwart my mother's attempts to ruin my diet, I had an interesting conversation with one of my parents' Christmas dinner guests.
"So, Paula, I hear you're in Flint now," said the guest, a lovely lady approximately the age of my mother, Dolly Weston. That means she's about thirty-nine.
"Yes," I replied. "I moved to Flint in 2008 to teach at Mott Community College."
That elicited this one-word question: "Why?"
I thought about this for a minute. After all, I'd given the reason why I'd moved to Flint. Somehow this dinner guest intuited that there were deeper forces at work, forces that required a more substantial, meaningful answer. Fortunately for me, Dolly Weston understood and answered for me.
"She covers the college hockey," said my mother — clearly wise beyond her thirty-nine years.
Yes, I cover the college hockey, the college hockey that returns this week from its brief December slumber. First, my picks record.
Last week: 3-4-1 (.438)
Season to date: 67-39-19 (.612)
Naughty. Very naughty indeed.
This week
There are three holiday tournaments this weekend involving six CCHA teams.
Florida College Classic
Friday Dec. 28 and Saturday Dec. 29
Germain Arena, Estero, Fla.
This tournament offers a rematch of the deciding game of the 2012 NCAA Midwest Regional tournament with a field that includes Cornell, Ferris State, Maine and Minnesota-Duluth. The No. 19 Bulldogs first face No. 11 Cornell — the team they beat 2-1 in Green Bay Mar. 24 to advance to the Frozen Four — at 4:05 p.m. Friday; FSU's Saturday opponent not only depends on the result of the first game but also the result of the contest between the Black Bears and those other Bulldogs of Minnesota-Duluth.
Our Bulldogs — our Defenders of the Realm — are .500 at midseason (7-7-3, 6-6-1-0 CCHA) after ending the first half with a 3-1 loss to Michigan State Dec. 15. In their last three weekends of play, the Bulldogs went 1-3-1 with the three losses the last three games they played. In the losses, FSU was outscored 9-4. That's no reason to count out this team. FSU was 7-6-1 in CCHA play just before the second half of the 2011-12 campaign and the Bulldogs ended their season playing for a national championship.
With a .927 save percentage and 2.26 goals-against average, sophomore C.J. Motte has been the goalie of record in every game the Bulldogs have played this season. Motte's save percentage is comparable to his numbers in 12 games played last season, but the FSU defense in front of him has yet to reach its potential. So far this season, the Bulldogs are scoring nearly the same number of goals per game on average (2.82) than they were at the end of last season (2.88), but the Ferris State defense ended 2011-12 as the sixth-best in the nation (2.19 goals per game allowed) while the Bulldogs are 22nd (2.47) so far this year.
I do believe this FSU team will rebound and finish up strong, beginning with this tournament. Cornell (6-3-2, 3-3-2 ECAC) rides a four-game unbeaten (3-0-1) streak into Estero and the Big Red is well rested, having last played Dec. 1, a 3-1 home win over St. Lawrence. The Black Bears (2-11-2, 1-7-2 HEA) last won Nov. 10, the second game of a weekend split against Massachusetts-Lowell and they lost to and tied with Vermont (Nov. 30-Dec. 1) to end the first half. Those other Bulldogs (7-8-3, 5-6-3 WCHA) ended their first half with a road sweep of Alaska-Anchorage (Dec. 14-15) and went 4-1-1 in their last three series.
Friday's game: Ferris State vs. Cornell, 4:05 p.m.
Saturday's games: Consolation at 4:05 p.m; championship at 7:35 p.m.
Picks: I'm a homer when it comes to Ferris State and midseason tournaments. Sometimes I'm rewarded for it. I think they'll play UMD for the tourney title. FSU 2-1, 3-2
Great Lakes Invitational Tournament
Friday Dec. 28 and Saturday Dec. 29
Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, Mich.
This year's Great Lakes Invitational Tournament features three CCHA teams — Michigan, Michigan State, Western Michigan — as well as host Michigan Tech. This tournament was to be played in Comerica Park this year but when the NHL cancelled the Winter Classic, this plan went down with it. Should the NHL resume play next season, the event may be part of the league's Winter Fest in 2013.
This year's field originally had St. Cloud State playing instead of Western Michigan, but Winter Fest organizers wanted four Michigan teams to attract locals for the planned outdoor game. Next year, Denver is supposed to be the fourth team … but that would mean that WMU would miss out on the midseason outdoor game. Should the event be rescheduled in Comerica Park next year, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Broncos in their second consecutive GLI.
This year, WMU is clearly the favorite in the field. The No. 8 Broncos (11-4-1, 8-3-1-1 CCHA) are currently in second place in the CCHA with 26 points, four points behind the two teams tied for first place, Miami and Notre Dame. The Broncos had their six-game win streak snapped in the last game they played in the first half, a 2-0 loss to Michigan Dec. 15. Sophomore Frank Slubowski (1.98 GAA, .918 SV%) has been the goalie of record in all 16 of WMU's games this season. Three of WMU's leading scorers are defensemen: Kenney Morrison (4-6–10), Dennis Brown (0-9–9) and Danny DeKeyser (2-6–8). The Broncos are knotted for seventh in the nation with three other teams in scoring defense, allowing 2.00 goals per game. WMU's scoring, however, is 42nd in the nation (2.38 goals per game). The Broncos captured the GLI championship in 1986 in their second tournament appearance.
The Wolverines are the defending GLI champs for two years running and have captured four of the last five tournament titles. Michigan (6-9-2, 4-7-2-2 CCHA) is tied with Alaska for seventh in the CCHA, each team having 16 points. The Wolverines struggled in the first half in front of two freshmen goaltenders who lack confidence, largely because they're not getting much help from the defense in front of them; UM's defense is 52nd in the country, allowing 3.35 goals per game. At this point last year, the Wolverines had netted 71 goals in 20 games; this season, they've scored 50 through 17. Michigan halted a four-game winless streak with that 2-0 win over Western Dec. 15, the weekend salvaged by the play of junior goaltender Adam Janecyk, who made 25 saves in his first game of the season, his first collegiate shutout decision. That UM defense will be without its best player for this tournament, freshman Jacob Trouba, who is playing with Team USA in the IIHF World Junior Championship. The Wolverines have 15 GLI titles.
Michigan State (5-10-2, 4-8-1-0 CCHA) looks like a team that's rebuilding this year, with young talent that needs to mature. The Spartans are in ninth place in the CCHA with 13 points and finished the first half on a high note, a 3-1 win over Ferris State that stopped a six-game winless streak and five-game losing streak. Another team struggling with offense, the Spartans are down 25 goals from where they were a year ago. Sophomore Matt Berry (9-7–16) leads MSU in scoring, followed by classmate Brent Darnell (5-8–13). Both players are on pace to exceed their goal output from their rookie seasons; Berry scored 11 goals in 37 games in 2011-12, Darnell six in 36. Freshman Jake Hildebrand (1.81 GAA, .941 SV%) has played in 10 of MSU's games this season. The Spartans last captured the GLI title in 2009 and have won 12 total.
Michigan Tech (4-10-3, 3-8-3 WCHA) is coached by former UM associate head coach, Mel Pearson. The Huskies enter the GLI looking for their first win since Nov. 17, a 2-1 overtime victory that capped a weekend sweep of Bemidji State. Since that win, MTU is 0-4-3. The Huskies have played in every GLI since the tournament's inception in 1965, but they last captured a GLI title in 1980. They last played for a title in 2007.
Saturday's games: MSU vs. WMU at 3:35 p.m.; UM vs. MTU at 7:05 p.m.
Sunday's games: Consolation at 3:35 p.m.; championship at 7:05 p.m.
Picks: Everything in me is telling me to pick Michigan for this tournament, especially with Janecyk in net. The Wolverines have an uncanny knack of turning things around when they're down — with a goaltender emerging as the new darling of Ann Arbor. That's not how I'm picking, though. Saturday: WMU 3-2, UM 3-2; Sunday MSU 3-1, WMU 2-1
Three Rivers Classic
Saturday Dec. 29 and Sunday Dec. 30
Consol Energy Center, Pittsburgh, Penn.
This is the inaugural run of the Three Rivers Classic, which I can only hope will incite a long-standing rivalry between the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Hosted by Robert Morris, the field also includes Penn State in its first season of D-I hockey and CCHA teams Miami and Ohio State.
The No. 5 RedHawks (11-3-4, 8-3-3-3 CCHA) are the favorites here, even though Miami finished the first half with a loss, a tie and a win after an eight-game undefeated (6-0-2) streak. The RedHawks last played Ohio State, a 1-1 tie and 3-1 win in Columbus. With 30 points, Miami is currently tied for first place in CCHA play with Notre Dame. The RedHawks are 28th nationally in offense, averaging 2.78 goals per game — down slightly from where they finished last season (2.98) — but Miami has the third-best defense in the country, allowing 1.67 goals per game. While they can't take all the credit, freshmen goaltenders Ryan McKay (0.58 GAA, .979 SV%) and Jay Williams (2.05, .921) have been outstanding in net. The RedHawks will be without leading scorer, freshman forward Riley Barber (8-14–22), and his classmate forward Sean Kuraly (3-1–4) for this tournament; the two are playing with Team USA in the IIHF World Junior Championship.
Ohio State (7-6-5, 6-3-3-1 CCHA) is currently in fourth place in the CCHA with 22 points, one point ahead of fifth-place Lake Superior State and four points behind Western Michigan. OSU played its last weekend of the first half against Miami — that tie and loss — and the Buckeyes' last CCHA play before that was a two-game road sweep of Michigan State (Nov. 30-Dec. 1). The story of Ohio State's first half has to be the play of senior goaltender Brady Hjelle (sounds like "jelly"), who is third nationally for goals-against (1.46) and second for save percentage (.951). Another narrative for the Buckeyes, though, is OSU's offense, which can best be described as "sluggish." Averaging 1.94 goals per game, OSU has the No. 54 offense in the nation; the Buckeyes were averaging 2.60 goals per game by the end of the 2011-12 season. Sophomore forwards Ryan Dzingel (6-8–14) and Max McCormick (6-4–10) lead OSU in goal production.
Penn State (7-8-0) is playing independently this season and will be part of the Big Ten Hockey Conference in 2013-14. The Nittany Lions are coached by former Alaska and Princeton head coach Guy Gadowsky. PSU ended the first half of the season with a 3-2 loss to Robert Morris Dec. 15 — which made me perfectly happy after the Nittany Lions defeated my beloved alma mater, Fredonia State, 4-0 Dec. 11.
Robert Morris (7-4-2, 4-3-1 AHA) carries a five-game undefeated (3-0-2) streak into this tournament. Prior to that win over Penn State, the Colonials defeated and tied Ohio State, 3-2 and 2-2, and RMU's last conference play was a win and tie against Holy Cross (Nov. 30-Dec. 1).
Friday's game: Miami vs. Ohio State, 7:35 p.m.
Saturday's games: Consolation at 4:30 p.m.; championship at 7:30 p.m.
Picks: This is an interesting field with familiar foes all around, and it's Miami's to lose — although I expect it to be very competitive, all around. I wouldn't be surprised to see Robert Morris take the whole thing. Seriously. Miami 3-2 Friday, 3-2 Saturday; OSU 3-2 over PSU or losing to RMU 3-2

Two strangers help save life of fallen band member
(WJLA) - The Lake County Indiana Pipe and Drum Band was the lead band at Wednesday night's march and service in Northwest D.C.
"This is the biggest honor you can have, really," said member Allen Wolak.
But just after they had marched, one of the band members collapsed.
"I'm a paramedic from Florida, so I went over immediately started to render aid with Officer Robertson," said Lt. Douglas Goerke with Orlando Police.
"I simply walked up to hand him a bottle of water thinking it was a heat-related illness, and it ended up being a cardiac arrest," added Officer Gary Robertson with St. Louis County Police.
Lt. Douglas Goerke and Officer Gary Robertson had never met until that moment, when they suddenly had to work together to save a man's life.
"We did a quick assessment; he confirmed no pulse," said Lt. Douglas Goerke. "And from there we started the chest compressions."
Someone brought them a defibrillator.
"I think that's what truly helped him," said Lt. Goerke. "In total, there were three shocks delivered. By the time he did leave here, he was breathing and kicking on his own."
The two strangers are now anything but – and it looks like the band member will be okay.
"He's doing good, and we're praying for him," said fellow band member Allen Wolak.
"We're all a team, we're all brothers and sisters, that's what we're for…I'm glad it worked out," said Officer Robertson.

Just a hunch....
i hope you are right
I agree.... domanick is our man but even he knows he cant afford to fall back to 3rd on the depth chart.
On the practice field as in "riding a bike that's on the field" or "standing on the field with the other training room regulars drinking gatorade".
I really like DD and think he can bring a lot to the team but he does stay nicked up so I'm pretty glad that we have Lundy and Morency acting like they belong in the NFL.
I would love to see DD back in action but if he doesn't stay healthy then i like Morency over Lundy.
