BIDMC emergency room physicians Peter Smulowitz and Stephen Epstein have been discussing a new poll by the American College of Emergency Physicians that expresses concern about readiness for an H1N1 outbreak.
Smulowitz tells WCVB-TV that pandemic planning should continue with the idea that all hospitals are prepared for a worst-case scenario.
And Epstein repeats the message on WBZ-AM, along with some common sense tips on how to care for yourself.

Obama's visit to Myanmar marks 'new chapter' in US-Myanmar relations
As Myanmar tiptoes toward democracy, Obama - the first US president to visit the former pariah state - denied he was endorsing the government amid criticism that his visit came too soon.
YANGON, Myanmar
President Obama became the first American president to visit Myanmar on Monday, using a six-hour trip to balance US praise for the government's progress in shaking off military rule with pressure to complete the process of democratic reform.
Skip to next paragraphObama, greeted by enthusiastic crowds in the former capital, Yangon, met President Thein Sein, a former junta member who has spearheaded reforms since taking office in March 2011, and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
"I shared with President Thein Sein our belief that the process of reform that he is taking is one that will move this country forward," Obama told reporters, with Thein Sein at his side.
"I recognize that this is just the first steps on what will be a long journey, but we think that a process of democratic reform and economic reform here in Myanmar ... can lead to incredible development opportunities here," Obama said, using the country name preferred by the government and former junta, rather than Burma, which is used in the United States.
Thein Sein, speaking in Burmese with an interpreter translating his remarks, responded that the two sides would move forward, "based on mutual trust, respect and understanding."
"We also reached agreement for the development of democracy in Myanmar and for promotion of human rights to be aligned with international standards," he added.
Obama's Southeast Asian trip, less than two weeks after his re-election, was aimed at showing how serious he is about shifting the US strategic focus eastwards as America winds down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The so-called "Asia pivot" is also meant to counter China's rising influence.
The trip to Myanmar highlighted what the White House has touted as a major foreign policy achievement – its success in pushing the country's generals to enact changes that have unfolded with surprising speed over the past year.
Tens of thousands of well-wishers, including children waving American and Burmese flags, lined Obama's route from the airport after his arrival, cheering him as he went by.
'Icon of democracy'
Obama met fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Suu Kyi, who led the struggle against military rule and is now a lawmaker, at the lakeside home where she spent years under house arrest.
Addressing reporters afterwards, Suu Kyi thanked Obama for supporting the political reform process. But, speaking so softly she was barely audible at times, she cautioned that the most difficult time was "when we think that success is in sight."
"Then we have to be very careful that we are not lured by a mirage of success and that we are working towards genuine success for our people," she said.
Obama recalled Suu Kyi's years of captivity and said she was "an icon of democracy who has inspired people not just in this country but around the world."
"Today marks the next step in a new chapter between the United States and Burma," he said, using the country name that she prefers. Before he left, the two embraced and he kissed her on the cheek.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that to visit this very pink virtual world of the Ty Girlz ("fashion" dolls from the same people who brought us the Beanie Baby), you need to purchase one of the dolls ($14.99), since each comes with a secret code used to access the games and activities. The virtual Ty Girlz are a bit more vampy looking than their actual doll counterparts, and they also wade in some very shallow waters, with interests that don't extend far beyond makeovers and shopping. And while the site includes games that test memory and other skills, it's these very games that drive kids to spend even more time online, since they're the way to earn Ty Dollars, the site's virtual currency. On the plus side, chat is restricted, limiting users to preselected words and phrases, or a restricted dictionary. There isn't any advertising on the site, but you can learn more about the other dolls in the collection and where you can buy them in your area. Be warned: Kids who love the site are likely to beg you for all of the dolls.
User reviews

Kids say
What's it about?
TYGIRLZ.COM is one of several virtual worlds for dolls and other toys, popular with tweens. Ty Girlz look to their Bratz doll counterparts for aesthetic inspiration: They've got the big hair, cartoonish features, and of course, sexy, sparkly clothes. In their world, kids can dress their virtual doll for auditions and dates; chat with other doll owners; shop for new furniture and clothes; and when the money runs out, play games to earn more.
Is it any good?
It's unfortunate that good old-fashioned play, the kind where you create the world your dolls live in, is becoming second fiddle to online play. Who needs the Barbie house and its trappings when you've got an online passport to a colorful world where you can redecorate your pad or engineer an outfit change with the click of a mouse?
Despite the virtual consumerism and promotion of new clothes and makeup, the site is relatively harmless -- as long as that virtual world is balanced with some time in the real world and less shallow pursuits.
Explore, discuss, enjoy
Families can talk about why the Ty Girlz don't have jobs (with the exception of Rockin' Ruby, the rock star) or go to school. If your Ty Girl did have a job, what would it be? Families can also discuss how this site pushes the idea of spending money and buying things. Does the site make you want to buy all the dolls?

Better than I imagined.
I never intended to be so jaded towards one brand as I have become towards Marmot. I had to re buy a lot of gear that was getting to old and this tent is the best tent I've used in 10 years. First night I got it in the mail we had a nasty blizzard so it got some heavy heavy snow and wind and stood up with ease. When I awoke in the morning no water in the tent, the vents work great. Has many extra pockets and ties to hook stuff up too. Vest is a little small but my pack still fits in and is to be expected from a light and bombproof tent. Will take to Denali in a few weeks and see how it stands up.
linda - January 3 2010
We'll hear back the end of March
I got this tent for my daughter to take to the Patagonia Cordillera, the El Cani Reserve and into the Valdivian Rainforest for nine weeks. Places where all weather conditions are possible. She was able to easily set it up in no time at all, she's only 5'2 and it's nice and light,she said it rocks.
Jeff - September 17 2009
Great Tent, great warrant
This tent is extremely easy to setup (even in the pouring rain) and has served us well through all seasons. Unfortunately, while trying to set it up in a hail storm, I broke a tent pole. This sounds like the beginning of a bad review, but it comes with some nice extra pole pieces that we were able to rig so our trip could continue with a standing tent. After getting home and sending it away for free Marmot got a new pole back to us within 4 weeks. Marmot rocks!
Eddie - September 6 2008
Well constructed, with nice touches.
Easy to set up, sturdy, and long enough (I am 6'1"). This is the first Marmot tent I have owned. I usually stick with Mountain Hardwear (I have a Meridian, and Light Wedge II), but I needed something for winter camping, and this tent had everything I was looking for. It seems to be bomb proof, although I have not tested it in alpine conditions. Very pleased so far.
Mike Parlow - August 28 2008
Great design
This tent has served me well. It is my favorite so far and I have owned several 4season tents. It kept 2 of us dry in pouring rain and did not produce condensation at all. Enough room for two 6" adults and lots of head room too. My favorite feature is the ease of assembly (through external clips) which takes only a minute or two even when it's very windy out there....and the integrated vestibule to leave the stinky shoes and the backpack dry. Very light and compact design.

I just love this donkey.
This reminded me of two donkeys I met once at a very difficult few weeks in my life, as I was walking past a field. I never forgot them. They were so gentle and wise and interested in the food I offered them, and I felt better immediately.
Thank you for the sweet reminder.

Posted: 5:42 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Riviera Beach leaders have spent the last three decades trying to transform the city's blighted waterfront district into a gathering place for residents and tourists. But after failed attempts and legal challenges, including three in the past eight years, officials say they are finally poised to turn the vision into reality.
The city's Community Redevelopment Agency unveiled a plan last week to spend $29 million to renovate a waterfront park and community hall and create a nearby public market and boardwalk in hope of attracting $245 million from private developers to turn the 10-block area between Broadway and the waterfront into a district of shops, restaurants, apartments and a tourist hotel.
The proposed development, a scaled-down version of the $2.4 billion, 400-acre renovation proposed by Viking Inlet Harbor Properties in 2005, would rival similar tourist hot spots in downtown West Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. It is designed to rescue Riviera Beach from decades of crime and poverty by creating jobs and business opportunities for residents and sparking a revitalization that officials hope will spread throughout the city.
"This isn't an aspirational plan," said Tony Brown, executive director of the city's redevelopment agency. "We have the money in the bank and we have site control."
The Community Redevelopment Agency borrowed $26 million in 2011 to pay for public projects along the waterfront. The rest of the money will come from another loan or the CRA's annual budget, both of which are paid by residential and business property owners within the CRA district, which entails most of the city east of Avenue F including the Ocean Mall and an area around it on Singer Island.
Newcomb Hall, a longtime community center, would be rebuilt under the plan and expanded to include a grand meeting hall capable of holding 400 people. The building also would have a visitor center, shops and cafe space.
Plans for neighboring Bicentennial Park include a beach with swimming, water sports and a community pier. The park's large lawn would be used for community events.
A permanent public market for local vendors would be constructed east of Broadway. It would feature a courtyard with restaurants and shopping kiosks and second-floor space for community arts, cultural and educational programs.
Spanish Courts, the former motor court of Mediterranean Revival cottages that was the subject of a $2 million redevelopment project 20 years ago, is slated to become a wellness center. The buildings are to be moved or razed, to make way for an assisted living facility and medical office space.
Land would be set aside for a hotel, marine businesses and a tiki-style restaurant.
The redevelopment agency plans to spend $20 million on improvements to Newcomb Hall and the park, Brown said.
The city council is expected to vote on the plan on Feb. 27. If approved, construction is expected to begin in March 2014, officials said.
"I believe that we have got it right this time," Councilman Cedrick Thomas said. "I believe in this plan with every ounce of my being. This is very doable. We will get this done."
The first two phases of the plan are expected to create more than 100 entrepreneurial and business opportunities for county residents.
"It is very exciting to see this finally be on the verge of reality," Beth Kigel, CEO and president of the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce told city council members last week during a meeting to unveil the proposal.
Kigel said the plan would turn Riviera Beach into a "world class destination."
City leaders have spent more than 10 months working on the plan, Brown said. It is the latest in a series of attempts by city officials to redevelop the waterfront.
The city has been studying the redevelopment of its marina and land along Broadway since 1982. In 1999, then-Mayor Michael Brown first unveiled his vision for turning as much as 800 acres into a Harbor Village. By 2005 the council and Mayor Brown chose Viking Inlet Harbor Properties as a master developer to transform 400 acres along the Intracoastal Waterway into shops, restaurants, a hotel, marina, aquarium and condos.
That $2.4 billion plan stalled because it relied on taking 2,000 residential and commercial properties by eminent domain, a power that Florida legislators stripped from local governments in 2006.
In 2008, city officials again negotiated with Viking for a $500 million revitalization of the marina and surrounding properties. The proposal included rebuilding the marina and Bicentennial Park as well as building a 608-car parking garage, a Key West-style village of shops and restaurants, a hotel, offices and a public market on 13th Street. But the city and company shelved the project in 2009, with Viking Vice President Mike Clark declaring, "The world changed," referring to the then failing economy.
In 2010, after Riviera Beach voters approved a referendum to keep all of the marina public, the Rybovich boat company, owned by the Huizenga family, dropped its plan to pay $14.5 million to lease half the marina for 25 years to service big yachts, a plan expected to created hundreds of jobs.
City officials are confident this proposal will be different. The CRA is ready to begin work immediately on the first three phases of the project, Tony Brown said.
"This community has seen so many aspirational plans," he said. "We are ready to roll."
Riviera Beach on verge of new waterfront
If the Riviera Beach City Commission approves a $29 million public investment this month, the Community Redevelopment Agency would start working on the project's first three phases:
Phase 1: Upgrades of Newcomb Hall and Bicentennial Park, 2014.
Phase 2: Construction of public market and parking garage, 2015-2016.
Phase 3: Line up private investors to build medical offices, assisted living facility on Spanish Courts property.

freedom of the press to give you the left slice of life.
Apparently, Joe Biden's staff is a bit worried about what might come out of the vice president's mouth and what the press is saying about it....to each other, not to the public. According to reporters following Biden on the campaign trail, staffers are editing press pool reports. Pool reports are developed and issued by press, for press in order to keep up with Biden's schedule and events, among other things.
Most transparent administration ever.

Simple implementation for search operators (Begins with, Contains, = etc.)
I think "Beings with" overlaps with the functionality of "Contains" so it's more or less an overkill for a name search. I'm not sure what the context is for you but generally users know the name of the person they're looking and "Beings with" is an advanced search setting which can probably be hidden within the "advanced search" link. Again, it'll help with more context on how the search is used. |

Dilemma: dropdown design with active link and active sub elements
Can the list be collapsed? If not, then you can replace the dropdown arrow with some other visual elements because the arrow usually indicates a toggle. Instead of using "All Sports" within the sub view (I think that's what you're describing), you can make the top level "All Sports" to begin with. In addition, you can eliminate the indentations so that "All Sports" is on the same level but contains the rest of the sub sections. |

Best Circus Experiences In Charlotte
Circus entertainment grew out of trick-riding equestrian shows in England during the second half of the eighteenth century. Horses were the real stars of these shows! Then came acrobatic clowns on horseback, performing daring flips, balancing tricks and pantomime. America's love with the old-time circus began in the 1820s. The traveling tent circus, an American innovation, was created by a New York entrepreneur. A menagerie of animals, enthralling all ages, accompanied the big-top shows. Performing arts dating back to ancient Egypt and China, such as juggling, were added to the evolution of this American institution. Two rings were expanded to ten, electrifying aerial shows and rope walkers made it the nation's top drawing entertainment!
Best Ways To Celebrate Passover 2013 With Kids In Charlotte
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is celebrated March 25 to April 2 this year.

It is a remembrance of the night when God passed over the homes of the Israelites during the tenth plague and the exodus out of slavery in Egypt to freedom. The focus of Pesach is the Seder. It is a symbolic-rich meal completed in 15 steps that tells the story of God's grace from bondage to freedom. In Charlotte, Passover will be celebrated in homes, community gatherings, temples and churches:

Fit The Pasta Dinner Bill
By Luna M.

About Me Foodie, Frequent Diner
Comments about Meijer Angel Hair Pasta - 1 Box (16 oz):
Aside from the super healthy pastas, I do not find much of a taste difference in the dried pastas. The Meijer brand cooks up well and is a good value. We stock up when it goes on sale. My 10 mo. son loves the Angel Hair w/ spaghetti sauce as lunch or dinner. It's not as bulky as the Thin Spaghetti and other thicker pastas.

Great Value, Tasty, and SO Easy to Make
By Laurel H
from Cleveland, OH
About Me Foodie, Frequent Diner, Health Conscious
Angel Hair is my favorite pasta shape, and it's often very expensive. This batch was a great value! It cooks in a few minutes, and tastes great with any kind of sauce. We like garlic & olive oil, marinara, fresh cut tomatoes & basil, spicy peanut sauce with scallions, and even simple butter & Parmesan cheese. The only thing to make sure is your sauce is ready before you cook the pasta because it's done before you know it!

Movie Info
Neil Jordan's The Brave One stars Jodie Foster as a happy woman whose life changes irrevocably after a brutal assault leaves her partner (Naveen Andrews) dead. The woman, feeling that the police investigation will be unable to catch the perpetrators, begins to live in constant fear. This outlook results in the woman eventually dispatching vigilante justice. Terrence Howard co-stars as the officer in charge of the investigation. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

All Critics (191) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (78) | Rotten (105) | DVD (21)
The Brave One is not merely the most morally repellent film of the year, but a contender for the stupidest.
Beautifully played, the tantalising accretion of mutual understanding between Foster and Howard is one of the film's strengths, yet the plot machinations required to lever it into position would overstretch credibility in the clunkiest action flick.
The fire goes out long before the film ends.
I think The Brave One could have been a better film with a different ending, but it's still a well-crafted, thought-provoking story with outstanding performances.
Foster does her best with a flawed story whose ending rings even less true than the rest of it.
Jodie Foster and thoughtful Irish international director Neil Jordan take us to places we'd probably rather avoid.
The Brave One can at times be a brutal, violent and harrowing portrait of an over burdened system, where thugs rule the streets and the corrupt contaminate the upper echelon of society. It is also an un-original revenge/vigilante story.
Deplorable urban-vengeance melodrama
You know what would be brave? Making an unflinching film about a difficult-to-tackle topic and complex characters, and sticking to your message, damn the torpedoes.
The Brave One is worth seeing for the scenes between Terrence Howard and Jodie Foster.
They're trotting it around at all the festivals trying to distract everyone from how bad it is.
[A] dopey action movie featuring the contributions of people too talented to waste their time on something this risible.
Jordan je, koriste%u0107i svoj nesumnjivi re%u017Eijski talent, snimio film koji je istovremeno i staromodan i moderan
The switch is flipped so quickly by Erica that I didn't root for her vengeance, I felt sorry for her.
The Brave One feels like a superhero movie, charting the familiar story of an unsuspecting everywoman who discovers one day that a gun gives her special powers to right wrongs and uphold justice.
Audience identification with the movie really rests on whether you're turned off by this freestyle, really pissed off judge and jury female assassin, or else in the mood to cut this loose cannon sexy sniper some slack.
If nothing else, enjoy Nicky Katt's hilariously smart-ass one-liners.
The movie never seems entirely plausible. Yet it makes no difference; we still get involved with it.
In this dreary, cockamamie Valentine to New York City haters, concocted by the father/son team of Roderick and Bruce A. Taylor--a good argument for the government sterilization of a certain family's genes--radio personality Erica Bain (Foster) is confront
Just a more superficially sober version of Death Wish.
The profoundly discouraging ending doesn't work.
Una pel�cula mediocre, sensacionalista y manipuladora filmada por un buen director.
An unapologetic genre picture powered by a pair of honest performances that plucks our emotional strings and races our pulses.
You will be rooting for her to off more bad guys, rather than understanding that she is disturbed and out of control.
Audience Reviews for The Brave One
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
Stylishly directed by Neil Jordan, as she did in Flightplan and Panic Room Jodie Foster summons her inner bad ass, and the result is another convincing performance from a very talented actress.
The film, however, is not well written. Mercer, the detective assigned to the case of Foster's vigilante killer, is not constructed well, transitioning at a critical moment in the third act illogically; his plan doesn't even make sense within the plot. What is more, the film essentially supports vigilantism without a critical eye. It would be a more complex exploration of this idea if Erica killed someone whom she realizes is innocent of any mortal sin. Also, the style of the film - Neil Jordan moving the camera like it's a boat at sea - is occasionally effective but eventually annoying.
Overall, despite all the great work Foster does, I think there's little that could have saved this film as it is written.

Many rural and remote communities in Australia could be considered 'unsustainable' because of the loss of human, financial and consequent social capital and degradation of the natural resource base that provides both the setting for the community and, in many cases, the economic foundation. The problems they face, such as lack of services, unemployment, maintaining professional workers in the region and youth suicide have been extensively explored, yet studies of the role of the arts and associated organizations as brokers of culture through pedagogical activities are few. This paper describes stage one of a project that proposes arts activities as a means of stimulating community development through the interface between cultural brokerage, cultural pedagogy, and the sustainable outcomes that might emerge from their application in rural and remote areas of Queensland. The project is investigating ways in which performing and visual arts activities might contribute to sustainable communities. The interdisciplinary research approach was developed in a partnership between Flying Arts, The Queensland Murray Darling Committee and the University of Southern Queensland.

1 Hour Left in NY Tech Meetup's First Community Board Election
With just a little over an hour left in the election for the first ever community board members of the New York Tech Meetup, less than 10 percent of the approximately 11,000 voters have weighed in.
It's really not that surprising says director Nate Westheimer. "I think I got elected with like 400 votes."

Working with Ipsos MORI we've spent a year tracking eleven families as they cope with the daily challenges of austerity. The findings show how fragile family finances have become.
Family Matters saw researchers begin working with families on in-depth basis from December 2011 through January 2012, carrying out day-long visits to their homes and tracking household income and expenditure. The sample includes families on the edge of poverty to those in the 'squeezed middle'. We aimed to uncover:
Download the report and read the findings here: Family Matters report
Download the press release here: Family Matters press release
To accompany this study, we also carried out a survey of over 1,000 parents in Britain, asking them for their views about the pressures of austerity and the kind of measures which might help families to cope. You can download the full polling results here: Family Matters topline parent survey
The Family and Childcare Trust has authored a policy response to these findings. We outline how the assets families have to draw on (money, time, support and environmental resources) have been steadily diminished by 'austerity effects'. We give some examples of policy measures which could help more families to thrive, despite the challenges of the economic climate. Download our response here: Family Matters policy response

After repeatedly being forced out of Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street has set up base in Union Square. It's an appropriate location, as the park has been a site for mass labor protests since the late 1880's.
Last night, the park, at one of the busiest intersections of the city, was closed for the first time in memory, and was barricaded by hundreds of police.
The weather has been unseasonably warm, positively May-like, and the renewed energy is infectious.

Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
I could see us drafting zero, one or two defensive backs, but I don't see any real need. For the record I would draft at least one safety because of the value likely to be available at 47, 58. and perhaps even at 89.
========================================== DO WE NEED A CORNER? 1) We are certainly set for 2009. Belichick took care of that with the signing of Springs and Bodden. This board wanted Wheatley to start in 2008 based on his preseason play. Wilhite is a decent nickel and was starting by year's end and was playing solid special teams. 2) I would think that we are set for 2010 also. Wheatley and Wilhite are our developing prospects, and they are progressing. There is no reason to add another youngster. Hobbs will play 2010 unless there is a new CBA. Springs can start or backup as needed. If need be, we can add a veteran in 2010. 3) There aren't any top corners that we just must have. The value is not there since there are no top corners. All will be overvalued. I would expect that six safeties will be better values. I expect there to be a higher valued safeties until our list of six top safeties is exhausted: Chung, Delmas, Johnson, Moore, Smith, and Vaughn. DO WE NEED A STRONG SAFETY? The need is not there. We have a reasonable backup in Williams who is a top special teamer, exactly what we need at this roster spot. DO WE NEED A FREE SAFETY? The need is not there. Springs and Spann are fine as backups. BOTTOM LINE I still see the same value as I did a couple of months ago: Moore and Johnson. Look at the mocks. I still think that they provide the best value and would be solid patriot picks. |
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
I think the secondary abounds with oppurtunities to upgrade.
Corner: With Samuel gone, the secondary lost its elite player and the group as a whole went from average to bad. That viod has yet to be filled. The current FA group brought in improve the back-end of the CB position but do little to replace the gap at the number one spot. Getting an elite or even a possibly elite CB going into the future is a glaring need. Wheatley and Whilhite have shown the promise to be good 2 and 3 CB but may not be true shut-down corners. They will undoubtedly improve with experience but adding more talent will not go to waste. In my opinion, the pass defense of the Team as Whole is improved by the upgrades over, O'Neal and hopefully Hobbs, and will improve again with a consitent pass rush; however the defense still lacks a CB that can win one-on-one with most #1 WR. Free Safety: At present the FS is Sanders with back-up coming from Springs and possibly Spann. None of these options really inspires a lot of confidence. Adding a true play-making FS would shore up the middle of the field greatly. Strong Safety: Merriwether has surprisingly done well at the SS position, I had him pegged as centerfield type of FS. But the loss of Harrison still shows in the middle. Tight-ends, running backs and slot recievers can make receptions and move the chains almost unchallanged. Further more the depth at SS is almost nill. Tank Williams was a JAG brought in for an expirement at ILB, an expirment that did not really produce much in the way of results. Behind him is career practice sqaud member Ventrone. If the FS position is addressed in the draft I can see Sanders being a good option to bolster the SS position. Conclusion (not quite QED) - Despite the relative weakness of the draft for the DB, adding talent to the secondary is major goal for the weekend and if the potential for a very-good to elite DB comes available, the value to the team makes it a smart pick. |
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
1) I agree that we would be better off with a developing elite corner at least of the quality of Samuel. However, I don't anyone close in the draft.
2) We disagree regard Tank, but I am fine with drafting Moore, Chung or Vaughn at SS. 3) I would like to see us draft Rahad as a free safety. BOTTOM LINE We'd be set for years at safety with Meriweather, Sanders, Moore and Johnson. We'd be set for at least 2009 with Bodden, Hobbs, Springs, Wheatley and Wilhite. Quote:
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
I think that is a good idea, but only if Rashad is choosen with the compensatory pick, or at least in the third round... |
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
Yes , I would like to draft both. Let us presume that we do not get an early OT and choose to wait until Day Two to draft a possible future upgrade at OT.
ONE SCENARIO 23 Gilbert/Jackson/Hood 34 Highest value linebacker available (my choices are Laurinitis or Sintim) 47 Wood or Moore if Wood is not available 58 Moore or Johnson 89 Johnson or an OG 97 OT backup 124 LB (there are many options here) I think it is reasonable to use all our choice in this great draft. I come out with a DE, 2 OL's, 2 DB's and 2 LB's. Quote:
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
I see this as a two Safety draft class, at least one SS with good cover skills, and at least one "tweener" with excellent cover skills. I do expect at least one CB, preferably in the late rounds, but an Alphonso Smith early isn't unimaginable; I also expect a UDFA prospect.
Safety depth is barely adequate with Spann, Slater, and Williams, and some situational work from Springs and emergency help from Ventrone. There's room on the Practice Squad in terms of depth management to be considered. There's room on the Practice Squad for CB too. |
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
Belichick has never drafted a CB in round one with the Pats. The earliest CB selected was Wilson (round two) who became the starting FS. Next is Wheatley from the last draft (round two), who will be competing for the LCB role this season. Hobbs, the RCB starter was selected in round three. Samuel, whom you alluded to, was drafted in round four. Both Hobbs and Samuel were not on anyone's binky list back then, yet BB knew about them, and developed them into starters. Why then, is it not possible that there's one CB who has starter potential somewhere in THIS draft? We have a reference list of 13 CBs that the Pats have shown some interest in. From the list, 6 have had private workouts, and another 3 are official visits. And those are just the names that have been reported. Chances are, with BB's ability to spot CB talent, there's a Samuel-in-the-making among them somewhere -- or at least someone to take a chance on. |
Re: Do We Need: CB, SS, FS, swing DB?
No corner in round 1, although, S by the end of round 2 is most likely. Guys like Chung and Moore might be too hard to pass up. Chung for his special teams prowess and Moore for his versatility. Safety is a position that is shorter on talent. Competition and learning required, you take a guy earlier and hope you get to teach him the D, before an injury forces him onto the field. That position on this team has to be one of the more difficult to pick up fast.

Retirement Effects of Proposals by the President's Commision to Strengthen Social Security
A structural dynamic model of retirement and saving is used to simulate the retirement effects of proposals made by the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security. Provisions reducing the growth in real benefits and increasing actuarial incentives to work reduce retirements. They more than offset increases in retirements caused by individual accounts, increased benefits for low wage workers and survivors, and reductions in the top AIME bracket. By 2075, the Commission's proposals would reduce retirements at age 62 by roughly 4 percentage points, mitigating an 8.7 percentage point trend to earlier retirement projected to reassert itself after its recent interruption.Download Info

Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Adam Lambert vs. The Situation

New images show 99% destruction of Giswati forest
Kigali, June 10 (RNA) - Satellite images released by the U.S. space agency NASA show nearly complete destruction of Gishwati Forest between 1986 and 2001 - coming just weeks after illegal squatters angrily uprooted up to 70,000 planted trees in the forest in question, RNA reports.
Overall only 600 hectares of Gishwati's original 100,000 hectares of forest remain - a loss of 99.4 percent of its cover, according to NASA's Earth Observatory. The forest is located in north-western part of the country.
The news also comes as delegations from countries in the region are in Kigali to map out measures to protect the vast forests that are disappearing at a very fast rate due to war, displacement and population explosion.
According to the UN's environment agency UNEP, Gishwati's forests were largely intact in 1978, and substantial forest cover still remained in 1986.
"But in the 15 years that elapsed between these images-a time that spanned the country's tragic genocide-wave after wave of refugees arrived in Gishwati Forest and began clearing it, often for subsistence farming", say Michon Scott and Rebecca Lindsey from NASA.
By 2001, only a small circular patch of native forest remained-1,500 acres of the forest's original 250,000.
Deforestation of the forest reserve is largely the result of subsistence harvesting and cultivation by refugees in the aftermath of the country's 1994 genocide. The tree cutting was also driven by the need for food, medicine, charcoal, and timber, especially for commercial products. Government forced the relocation of these settlers but that has turned out to be a nightmare.
Last month, when government officials visited the area and gave the residents an ultimatum to leave, the villagers responded by uprooting some 70,000 trees that had been planted as part of the country's reforestation programme. More than 200 million of trees have been planted across the country on a massive campaign.
"Large tea estates and plantations now occupy the (Gishwati) park", says NASA.
"The loss of so many trees in a rainy, mountainous country has had severe environmental consequences. In addition to tremendous loss of biodiversity, the region experiences soil erosion and degradation and landslides." write Scott and Lindsey.
Conservationists are now working to restore a corridor of native forest between Gishwati and Nyungwe Forest National Park, in southern Rwanda. The initiative would provide connectivity for wildlife - including chimpanzees - to move between forest areas.
The latest voice to the plight of Gishwati is not alone. President Kagame has been at the forefront of a protracted battle to have thousands of the squatters moved to allow gazeting it as a protected area, but to minimal success.
Available estimates suggest that Rwanda had 634,000 hectares of forest cover in 1962 but that by 2004, only 200,000 hectares was still standing - blamed on careless human activity. Soil erosion has also been causing the loss of 500 tons of soil per hectare annually, according to government, which says is headed for "uncontrollable" ecological disasters.
A new report released Wednesday in Germany by the UN and a network of organizations finds that climate change is already contributing to migration and displacement globally.
All major estimates project that the trend will rise to tens of millions of migrants in coming years. Within the next few decades, the consequences of climate change for human security efforts could be devastating, the researchers said.
The exact number of people that will be on the move by mid-century is uncertain. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) estimates that there may be 200 million environmentally-induced migrants by 2050.
From 2000-2005, West and Central Africa lost 1.36m ha of forest cover per year, or a total of 67,800 sq km. More than 300 million people in Africa already live with water scarcity, and areas experiencing water shortages are likely to increase by almost a third by 2050, the report says.
Although the Sahel (North Africa) has seen a "greening" since the mid-1980s drought - at 2.6 percent, the region still has the second highest population growth rate in the world after Central Africa - in which Rwanda is located.
This population growth combined with climatic trends and land degradation, according to the report could lead to: declining per capita production for the agriculture, including animal husbandry; shortage of fuelwood; declining rainfall in some regions with consequences for rain-fed and irrigated agriculture; food shortages and famines in drought years; movement to urban areas or to more fertile farming areas, such as recently opened areas in the Savannah zone owing to the eradication of river blindness.
