Dyslexia (Reading Disorder) OverviewDyslexia (reading disorder) is the most common (more than 80%) of all learning disabilities and is the best understood. It is more easily identified by the public and has received a lot of attention in research and the media. Failure to read (or read accurately and with speed) is very noticeable and somewhat stigmatizing in today's society. Dyslexia occurs in about five out of every 100 children of school age, and another 5 to10 out of every 100 are described as "reading backward"; that is, they may not be considered to have a dyslexia, but may have greater difficulty in reading than their classmates. Although it was traditionally thought that many more boys than girls had dyslexia, studies have shown that this is not true and that both boys and girls are equally likely to have the condition. Further, although it is not understood which genes are responsible and how it is passed down through families, there is strong evidence to suggest that dyslexia is a genetic condition. It is present from birth and commonly runs in families. It is not predominantly something acquired because of lack of adequate early education due to poverty or lack of access to education.

Got this product in my box. Absolutely fantastic. Smells great, makes skin feel fresh and clean, reduces the size of your pores (noticeably) and a little goes a long way. Will definately continue using this product.
This product is great! It smells so great. When you lather it on as a face wash, it sort of tingles your face as the bubbles burst and feels great. I have been using it mainly as a face wash, and my skin feels softer. I give this wash 4 out of 5 and would recommend it as a daily face wash.
Received this face wash in one of my boxes a while back and its great. Highly recommend it.
It cleanses, it rinses off nicely, and just does the job well. But what makes it great, is the great fragrance. I will be buying this.
I got this in my first birchbox and it is by far the best facial cleaner I've ever used. Love the lemon scent. No slimy residue.

LeBron James is the most consistently productive scorer in the NBA
LeBron James is currently second in the NBA in scoring average, and the NBA's top-5 in that category currently reads like this:
Carmelo Anthony: 30.0
LeBron James: 29.6
Kevin Durant: 29.1
Kobe Bryant: 28.8
Dwyane Wade: 27.1
You probably knew that. You might have also known that nobody on this list averages more assists per game than LeBron, and only Durant's 7.2 rebounds per game are more than the 7.l James averages. But that's a topic for another day.
If you are just talking scoring, there is no NBA point scoring machine as dependable as the Akron Hammer 'Bron 'Bron's been this season, especially when considering points per game, combined with both field goal percentage and the amount of times a players gets his team at least 20 points in a game.
Amongst these top-5 scoring leaders, there isn't anybody on the list that boasts a better overall field goal percentage than the 51.1% clip LeBron has shot it at thus far this season. In fact nobody else is as high as forty-nine.
Durant's 48.6% is second on that list, followed by Anthony at 47.6%. Kobe's 46.9% field goals made mark would slot him fourth, and Wade's year to date 45.5% from the field would round out the top-5.
But beyond scoring average and field goal percentage, the other measure of dependability and productivity is at least how many points can you count on a player for on any given night. Specifically, how often does a guy give you at least 20 points or more.
In LeBron's case, he hasn't reached the 20-point mark during a game this season 4 times. He has played in all 42 games, and scored at least 20 points or more in 38 of them.
How does that compare?
Kobe has scored less than 20 points in 8 games this season. Bryant has played in 40 games so far, and scored at least 20 points or more in 32 of them - and in those 32 games he has averaged well over 30 minutes per so don't try to say that's why.
Wade has played in 39 games this season and not scored 20 points 5 times, which is the same amount of times Durant didn't manage to crack 20 through 40 games for OKC this season. And while Carmelo'sFG% is about 4 points worse than LeBron's current average, he does have the least amount of games of not netting 20 points on this list (3 times) however he has also played in the least amount of games overall so far (35).
Notes: For whatever its worth, Melo did not make it to 20 points last season 22 times, Durant didn't get there 16 times, Kobe didn't get there 15 times, LeBron didn't get there 9 times, and Wade didn't get there 8 times.

Barcelona Super Saver: City Tour, Sitges and Freixenet Cava Day Trip
- Duration: 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.)
- Location: Barcelona, Spain
- Product code: 2140BCNCAVA
The Barcelona Super Saver 2 combines two best-selling tours at a discounted price – becoming a fantastic day out in Catalonia. Start your morning with a visit to Freixenet, one of Spain's leading cava producers. Immerse yourself in the magical world of Spain's sparkling wine and enjoy a complimentary sample. Then it's off to Sitges, one of the most picturesque beach villages on the Catalan coast. In the afternoon, you'll head back to Barcelona for the Artistic Barcelona Tour, where you will discover fabulous architecture by the incomparable Antoni Gaudí. Accompanied by your professional guide, you will visit the World Heritage-listed Park Güell and Barcelona's most famous landmark, La Sagrada Familia. Enjoy a 10% discount when you buy these two tours at this one price.
- Led by a local guide
- Comprehensive tour of the city
Morning tour: Freixenet cava cellars and Sitges
You'll depart Barcelona and begin your tour with a visit to the Freixenet cava cellars; cava is a Spanish sparkling wine. Your local guide will share the history of this family-run business, and then take you to the old cellars where you'll learn how cava is made. Next, you will board a small train to travel through part of the 12 miles (20 km) of underground cava cellars before arriving at the tasting room, where you can taste the different cavas of the Freixenet range. Before you leave, you will have the option to purchase some of your favorites!
Next stop is the quaint coastal village of Sitges, one of Catalonia's most famous destinations. This village enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year and is home to 17 beaches. Take a walking tour through the village, and then enjoy some free time to explore on your own.
Afternoon tour: Artistic Barcelona
The second part of your Barcelona day tour is an artistic tour through the city, where you will explore the numerous treasures of famous architect Antoni Gaudí. The tour begins on the Paseo de Gracia, where you'll see Gaudí's iconic buildings, including Casa Batlló and La Pedrera. You'll also have a 30-minute visit at the bizarre and extraordinary Park Güell, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will then continue to La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece and Barcelona's most famous landmark.
You will also visit the famous Santa María del Mar, the only gothic church in Catalonia that is completely finished; this church is not a Gaudí structure, but is still very worthy of a visit. The tour ends near the Picasso Museum, which exhibits works from the painter's delightful Blue and Pink periods (ticket not included).
Please note that from April 1, 2014 this tour will have some changes in the itinerary

Automating Manufacturing Processes with Linux
A manufacturing company makes money only when production is running. So, timely information from the production floor is crucial to the business. As our company has grown, so has the complexity. We have outgrown our manual and paper methods for monitoring manufacturing.
Midwest Tool & Die stamps electronic terminals and molds plastic parts for the automotive, electronics and consumer industries. Our manufacturing processes generate a lot of data. Our high-speed presses make up to 1,200 parts per minute, and each part must be correct. We inspect critical dimensions for every part that is produced. Part quality is charted and monitored, and the data is archived for traceability.
We needed to manage all of this data to improve the manufacturing processes. Our main goals were to improve uptime and understand the causes for downtime. In addition, we hoped to track and control costs, reduce paperwork and avoid human input error.
To meet these goals, we came up with requirements for the new system. The first requirement was to gather data from a variety of machine controls, sensors, automated inspection equipment, programmable logic controllers (PLC) and human operators. The system had to be reliable and be capable of gathering data at our fastest production rate.
Next, the system had to correlate the data that was gathered. The system would need to interact with enterprise PostgreSQL databases. Production data and process status would be passed to PostgreSQL for display and reporting.
The new automation system also had to provide a user interface, so the machine operator and maintenance personnel could log their activities. Process downtime and the reason for the downtime would be logged and passed to the enterprise databases. This requirement would replace a paper log and manual data entry effort.
Finally, the system needed to be flexible and easily upgraded. The solution would be adaptable to new manufacturing lines and changing system inputs.
We evaluated several solutions to meet the requirements. Industrial PLCs could gather data reliably. However, their approach to networking has been stuck in proprietary nonstandards for decades. Ethernet connectivity has become available, but the systems are expensive. The user interface typically is implemented on vendor-specific display hardware. Each vendor produces its own proprietary development platform. So, vendor lock-in was an issue at every point of the evaluation.
Next, we looked at a PC with a data acquisition (DAQ) board. In the past, we have used a laptop with a DAQ board, Microsoft Windows and Agilent VEE. This combination has worked well for quickly acquiring data with little programming. With that setup, data transfer to our database systems was available only through Windows OLE. We could develop applications, but the proprietary platform would tie us in to the vendor. National Instruments also offers a complete DAQ package for the PC, but at a premium price.
The solution that best met our requirements also used a PC and a DAQ board. The big difference was the use of RTLinux, a real-time OS stack based on Linux. We could limit vendor tie-in and communicate freely with PostgreSQL and TCP/IP networking. The real-time OS offered the reliability of a PLC, without sacrificing communications. Finally, the GUI could be written in the language of our choice. Using open-source tools, we could create flexible, upgradeable applications.
The computers we chose to perform the task of data acquisition and handling of the data were slow in comparison to computers available today. We were able to recycle old office computers to use on the shop floor. These 400MHz Celeron machines are fast enough to perform the tasks asked of them adequately, without hindering our hard real-time requirements for data acquisition. The system we worked with started off with an installation of the Red Hat 7.3 distribution with the 2.4.18 Linux kernel.
The kernel separates the user-level tasks from the system hardware. The standard Linux kernel allots slices of time to each user-level task and can suspend the task when the time is up. This can lead to priority tasks being delayed by your system's noncritical tasks. There are commands to control the operations of the Linux scheduler; however, hacking the scheduler's parameters in the 2.4 kernel does not result in a hard real-time system. The 2.6 kernel has enhanced real-time performance but does not fill the needs of a hard real-time system either.
There are many great publications about RTLinux, many of which are written by Michael Barabanov and Victor Yodaiken, who first implemented RTLinux back in 1996 and have been improving it ever since.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Overcast and Windy ~ Wind Advisory Tuesday, Mar. 11, 2014 |
E3Posted Friday, July 13, 2007, at 10:51 AM Good Day! I realize that first articles usually warrant an introduction or some type of heralding event which qualifies me to be writing to you today. My only art supplies for this picture I paint are the copious amounts of passion that explode from me regarding the entertainment industry itself. Over the next week I will be focusing on Gaming in general, simply because this is a big week for it. This week is E3, or the Electronic Entertainment Expo. This event was/is one of the major gaming events of the year. Last year and every previous year before it, E3 was the premiere event. The big to do. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony as well as every other developer made an appearance to showcase new games, systems, and viral marketing campaigns. However, last year the executives of E3 decided that the millions upon millions of dollars worth spent on it had made the function too large for itself. Thus, they made E3 available to only a select few media household names such as Nintendo as well as several (hundred) gaming journalists. They still show new games at E3, it's just not open to the several thousand other ravaging fans who went to preview the new games. I feel the need to clarify. If gaming was a rock concert, E3 would be Woodstock. It was huge. Because of this closure of the former E3 to the public, many other events have flourished this past year. One of the largest is PAX, or the Penny Arcade Expo. It appears that gamers just can't get enough of the carnival. Fear not young ones! Your trepidations are in mind when I tell you that the majority of gaming announcements and Coup d'�tat's are still held at E3. I've also heard that quite a few indie (small group developers. Garage bands, if you will.) are heading towards the extravaganza as well. Over the next week, I will be showcasing and writing about the major events of E3, and what it means for us consumers on the receiving end of this vast new world.

I don't think so either as it's not really anything new but I know how some people are.
I think of the Grimms as kinda like the Slayers in the Buffy universe. They have "gifted" physical abilities but if they don't train them and accept them they don't do a whole lot. Another analogy might be "super soldier" ala Captain America. Basically the best a human can achieve.
The way they are building the mythology reminds be very much of season 2 Buffy. I think getting renewed so early really gave the writers the freedom to explore the wider universe vs. worrying if they needed to wrap things up if they didn't get renewed.

OLIVER, Carolina et al. Trasplante autólogo de progenitores hematopoyéticos en pacientes con mieloma múltiple: análisis de factores pronósticos y sobrevida. Experiencia del Hospital Británico. Rev. Méd. Urug. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.4, pp. 202-210. ISSN 0303-3295.
Summary Introduction: autologic transplant of hematopoietic progenitors is regarded as the standard in the first line treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) younger than 65 years old. Objective: to analyse global survival and incident free survival in patients with multiple myeloma transplanted at the British Hospital. Method: we conducted a retrospective study of patients who received the first autologic transplant of hematopoietic progenitors. Results: 56 autologic transplants of hematopoietic progenitors were performed from July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2010 in 48 patients with MM. Upon analysis of patients after the first transplant, 46% were women and 54% were men. Median age was 54 years old (32-65 years old). 73% were IgG, 17% were IgA and 10% were light chains.60.4% achieved CR/nCR (CR), non- confirmed CR and VGPR) after transplant. With an average follow-up of 58.6 months (5.84-186.56), the median global survival was 121.8 months (IC 95%: 70.1-173.54 months). No significant differences were found in the global survival in patients who achieved CR/nCR after autologic transplant of hematopoietic progenitors and those who failed to achieve it (log Rank p=0.162. The median incident-free survival was 56 months (IC 95%: 42.2-70.4 months). Conclusions: autologic transplant of hematopoietic progenitors is an essential tool to treat patients with MM and it is a safe procedure at the Hematology Unit of the British Hospital.

Robots rampage on Linux
Raleigh, NC - North Carolina State University has robots running about through mazes, trying to alternately recognize each other, avoid each other, and maybe someday to learn from each other.
This sort of behavior would not be possible if they operated on Microsoft Windows brain food. No sirree, for this job, they must have the breakfast of champions! Linux, the open-source computing environment of the people is the food these 'bots need.
The News and Observer reported on the Linux-based robot project that is underway at NCSU's Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines yesterday.
To understand why N.C. State University is a hotbed for open-source computing, watch eight duck-shaped robots learn to recognize one another as they navigate a maze in a campus lab.
Half the robots are green; the rest are red. Each uses a camera eye to avoid the maze's black walls, to find same-color robots and to wheel away from different-color robots.
They report what they see through a wireless network that NCSU students and professors can tap into anywhere. To change the mission -- say, to have the green robots cozy up to the red ones -- a student can type commands into a computer that will transmit them back to the robots.
"Eventually, we want to get to the point where the robots running the maze figure out which one does the best job, and transfer that brain to the rest," said John Galeotti, a computer engineering grad student.
Those robots would not exist today if Galeotti had to use Microsoft Windows, the world's dominant computer operating system. Because Windows is a proprietary system, users cannot get access to or modify its source code.
Galeotti turned to Linux, an open-source operating system that welcomes users to tinker with the source code as a chef might play with a recipe. Galeotti created a stripped-down version of Linux and then added features to make the robots do their tasks.
It's this flexibility for research and user access that has turned NCSU into a leading advocate among universities for open-source computing.
NCSU embraced the philosophy early on. The university played host in the mid-1990s to the first annual Linux Expo. Now a major international event on the tech world's calendar, the Expo initially drew about 150 Linux fans to NCSU.
Since then, the university has formed a strong partnership with one of the leading companies that develop and service open-source products, Red Hat. In February, the company moved its headquarters and 200 employees from Durham to NCSU's Centennial Campus.
Thomas K. Miller, NCSU's vice provost for distance education and learning technology, says the Red Hat move puts NCSU among the leaders in a growing field of computer engineering that could lead to new technologies and new businesses.
"Having Red Hat here will bring a spotlight to some of the open-source projects and initiatives that are going on at N.C. State and will help us get a little bit better known out there," Miller said.
Matthew Szulik, Red Hat chief executive officer, said he looks forward to increased collaboration between Red Hat employees and NCSU researchers and students. He is talking with campus administrators about founding an institute at NCSU to develop less-expensive open-source computing solutions that would address social concerns such as educating students and teachers.
"We would like to create an institute that can stimulate thinking to find a way to really transition the economics," Szulik said. "So that dollars that once flowed into proprietary software, that only impacted a few, could be reallocated to impact many."
NCSU professors and graduate students have developed open-source software to design integrated circuits, built interactive tools for distance education and created a wireless method of polling and surveying students in large classrooms. They've designed open-source software that allows motorists to safely select music from a vast digital library on their car stereos as they drive.
At NCSU's Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, the duck-like robots run on chips smaller than a domino and conserve power when idle. Minimum size and maximum efficiency are critical because the goal is creating machines that one day could explore collapsed buildings or distant moons.
"We could not do what we do if we did not have a good open-source operating system like Linux as the underpinning system," said Edward Grant, the center's director. "It allows us to do just so much more."
Though NCSU is a big believer in Linux, most of its faculty, staff and students still use Windows. Three floors down from the robotics center lab in Daniels Hall is a computer lab with Windows NT workstations.
But Carl Howe, an industry analyst for Forrester Research in Boston, said more universities are switching to Linux because its adaptability gives it an advantage in a research environment. He sees interest in Linux eventually filtering down to businesses.
The money won't be made selling the basic software, which is freely available to the public. Howe said that companies can make a profit adapting and servicing what they sell, and they will need people trained in Linux.
"Red Hat's doing the right thing aligning themselves with N.C. State," Howe said. "It's a nice symbiotic relationship."
NCSU became a strong advocate for open-source computing more than a decade ago, when MIT and Carnegie Mellon University made the source code available for their UNIX-based network operating systems. Miller advocated that NCSU take the best of both systems to create its own.
In 1990, NCSU rolled out Project Eos, named for the Greek goddess of the dawn, giving students access to their files and applications from any UNIX workstation on campus. With access to the source code, the university could choose from multiple vendors for UNIX workstations, and it could upgrade the computers without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on new equipment and software licenses.
A few years later, NCSU textiles professor Warren Jasper and computer science student Matthew Wilson both had the same idea: Why not find a way to bring Eos to any personal computer on campus?
The two spent three years tinkering with Linux and scavenging other freely available computer programs to develop software that could link any personal computer to the campus network. Students and faculty now download their software for free.
Jasper got involved in the project because he needed an easy way to transfer his research data on fabric dyeing from his lab personal computer to a university network that had all kinds of data-analysis tools. Wilson, then a freshman and now a Red Hat employee, had a simpler inspiration.
"It was cold in the wintertime," Wilson said, "and I wanted to stay in my dorm."

Jeannette Rankin, America's Conscience
Suffragist, social worker, first woman elected to the United States Congress, a lifelong peace activist, and a tireless advocate for political reform, Jeannette Rankin is often remembered as the woman who voted "No." Elected to Congress from Montana on the eve of the United States' entry into World War I, Rankin cast her first votethe first vote cast in the House of Representatives by any womanagainst the declaration of war against Germany. Reelected to Congress in 1940, she repeated her vote, becoming the only member of Congress to vote against the United States' involvement in World War II.
Born in Montana in 1880, Jeannette Rankin's life of activism spanned much of the twentieth century. A "first-wave" feminist who campaigned for women's suffrage, she became a heroine to "second-wave" feminists in the 1960s and a living testament to the achievements of their foremothers. A peace advocate during and after World War I, she lead the Jeannette Rankin Brigade during the March on Washington in 1968 to protest the Vietnam War.
Jeannette Rankin was a woman who lived her conscience, and she became America's conscience through her unflagging campaigns for children's protective legislation, women's rights, election reform, and most of all, peace. Her determined voice shines in this biography, written by her friend, Norma Smith, who paints a convincing portrait of a complicated activist based on interviews with Rankin in the 1960s.
Social worker, suffragist, first woman elected to the United States Congress, and a lifelong peace activist, Jeannette Rankin is often remembered as the woman who voted "No" to United States' involvement in both world wars. Rankin's determined voice for change shines in this biography, written by her friend, Norma Smith.
Available in August of 2002, the 168-page book includes illustrations and is available at bookstores across the state, or can be ordered directly from the Montana Historical Society for $17.95 plus shipping charges by calling toll free 1-800-243-9900.

In my opinion, Russell Wilson is a bit better than Kaepernick, and everyone and their damn mother was saying he was going to be the next superstar quarterback, but Atlanta shut him down, at least in the first half. If Atlanta plays the full sixty minutes, I see no reason why they can't do the same to Kaepernick. Once again, it's all going to come down to Matt Ryan and Michael Turner. If Atlanta establishes a good running game and can take the lead and burn time off the clock, it will certainly help. If Ryan makes bad decisions, Atlanta is going to lose. It's that simple. And, if you remember correctly, the main reason why Kaepernick was able to run all over Green Bay was because they used man to man coverage, which is really quite stupid when you're playing against a running quarterback. He also only completed about half of his passes (17/31, I believe), and that isn't going to work against a defense that knows how to defend running quarterbacks and has players like Asante Samuel, Sean Weatherspoon, and John Abraham.
lol Now Lions "fans" want to tank 2013 for contract reasons.
Come on, NOBODY does that! My goodness... no real fan of a team would want that to happen.
Also, Lions new ST coach is underwhelming, but whatever.
CFL?Anybody know where Tebow will go if Jacksonville doesn't want him?
It's not so much how Kapernick plays against Atlanta's D, it's more how well Atlanta's offense plays against the 49ers D. If the Niners punch Atlanta in the mouth on defense, then that just makes Kapernick's job all the more easier. From what I've seen this year, other than the Bears game, the Niners winning usually hasn't been contingent on how well Kapernick plays. Yes, even his last game he wasn't too spectacular. But that defense knows how to put a hat on offenses.
It's not like the Patriots, Saints, and Packers where if Tom Brady, Drew Brees, or Aaron Rodgers has a bad game, then they lose. How the Niners win is how well they play on defense, and they proved they can do that. If Kapernick doesn't play lights out, then so what. He has the luxury of falling back on a D that can put the QB on the ground and score points. You make a mistake against them, and you pay for it.
This is going to be the worst Championship weekend ever. SF is going to obliterate the inferior Falcons, and the NFL has pre-determined Ray Lewis is going to the Superbowl. There's absolutely no drama or intrigue at all.
It will be cool if the Harbaugh Bowl will happen in the SB

Like I mentioned, the Eagles seem like the only possibility, depending on what Chip Kelly does with their offense.
I don't know about the first one: they did just beat a similarly-talented team and got a major monkey off their back. I'm still picking the 49ers, but not by a landslide or anything.
About the latter thing: I see you apparently noticed it, but does anyone else here think that was pretty much the worst officiating imaginable in the Ravens-Broncos game? I don't wanna seem like a homer finding excuses, but every time I think about it, it's hard to believe that they didn't impact the outcome of a double-overtime game with their lousy calls.
Yeah, I guess I'm pulling slightly for that to happen now. Can't really realistically see the Ravens getting by the Patriots, though (on the plus side, this means I get to see Ray Lewis blubbering about a loss instead).
Eh, I'd be inclined to disagree. Their secondary is probably better, though, and that's more relevant to the Falcons.
Well, Baltimore had show how good they are against my favorite team (Denver). I was very confident that Denver will win in that time, but in reality they shut my mouth. That is football all about, everyone can win championship if you give your best effort. I don't know how the Ravens got so hyped in the first place(well Lewis is one reason), but wish them best luck to beat NE, i hate Patriots. As well, you will never know what would happen, maybe today Tom Brady gets injured i don't know lol.

Honestly, the CFL is a pretty realistic option for Tebow, assuming Jacksonville really doesn't have any interest. I think Kelly made a mistake taking the Philly job, and bringing Tebow would only create more media scrutiny and pressure for a city that expects him to win immediately. I guess I could see him in Arizona, only because they have possibly the worst collection of QBs the league has ever seen. He's solid enough to be a second or third string guy in the NFL, but when you factor in all the non-football baggage he brings with him, no executive in his right mind would see Tim to be worth the media circus surrounding him.
Tebow should really come to Cleveland. We've seen what he can do, Cleveland could really benefit.

Is good that they get a new GM, and a former NFL Network analyst, but still they need a good head coach that really are good on developing young qbs, like Jim Harbaugh. He did change alot with Alex Smith and we is doing a great job on developing Kaepernick. And still they need a young raw qb so he can learn the nfl level in 1-2 years.

That's right, the Falcons are dominating. If they keep playing good they'll be in New Orleans in 2 weeks.

Falcons doing a great job of working the clock and keeping 49ers O off the field. That's a recipe for success, but they can't let SF back in the game like they did Seattle.
WOW! its getting so intensive.

At least its not the Falcons in New Orleans. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters to me.

I can't believe the Refs didn't call roughing the passer on that hit on Ryan or a pass interference on that other play. As a Packers fan it is really disenheartening to see the 49ers advance. I've already had to deal with a college football championship game not going my way (SEC sucks and you all know it!) but now I run the risk of a pro football championship game not going my way either.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
The last thing I want is a Harbaugh Bowl. Those two guys are complete assclowns.
Go Patriots.
The last thing I wanted was the 49ers to make the Super Bowl. I hate that douche QB they have.
Now I must pull for the Ravens or Patriots.

As a Browns fan I want the Patriots to win the Super Bowl now. If that ends up happening it's very likely that Denver will be their opponent in the kickoff game because of the 8 teams New England is to host next year only Denver with Peyton Manning made the playoffs in 2012. And you know how the media likes Peyton VS. Brady.

If I'm not mistaken, Sean and Jeff both ran last year. I think Jeff opened up the gap towards the end for the margin of victory. I'm sure he can better explain. Also I think Franco Harris was at the finish line greeting everyone. Good luck to all who participates. Hope to see you at the Lions247 tailgate again on Saturday.
Sean Fitz said...
From the numbers I've seen, the run raised over $360,000 for Special Olympics Pennsylvania. Great stuff.
For those holding their breath on the results, natural athleticism triumphed over "training" and "being in shape," and I bested Jeff by about 30 seconds.

"Will recommend this hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
This hotel is very well situated, we didn't even need a bus to get to most sights.The best bit was it was full of character and the staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us with maps and tips on places to visit and eat etc.The breakfasts were also excellent value and had a good selection of meat, cheeses , fruit, tasty Italian cakes etc . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
"An exceptionally good stay at value for money pric"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
My wife and I returned from Rome yesterday and were both very pleased with our choice of Residenza Frattina for a three night stay. The hotel is a series of rooms inside a beautiful old building, as such there is no elevator and you do need to be able to walk up some steps. The location is perfect, if you like to walk to you get from the Hotel to the Colosseum in half an hour or 5 minutes to the Spanish Steps. There is an abundance of shopping and dining options locally. The room was spacious and kept nicely warm on a cold weekend in Rome. I only marked down the 'Condition' of the hotel for two reasons, firstly the floorboards creak above you (so if people are walking around you know about it), in such an old building this is inevitable. Secondly the conversations from the hall were clearly audible in our room. However this did not prove to be a nuisance as we were up and out of the room early each day. Finally the staff are just wonderful, they speak excellent English and when we had to leave early on our last morning they made sure a breakfast was left for us in our room the night before. We would stay here again when next in Rome for sure.
"Old, overpriced, and noisy - but good location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
I've paid a lot less for a better nights sleep. This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the railway station. However, the beds are rock hard and only one pillow is provided - another was brought to my room promptly. It's a lovely old building, which is far more attractive than modern quieter hotels, but unfortunately, I just couldn't get a good nights sleep. Everything from the corridors could be heard, as could the ablutions of the man next door. Overpriced minibar, breakfast, and indifferent service. I was about to say I wouldn't stay here again -but from what I gather, all Rome hotels are old, creaky, and overpriced.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
The hotel was not within walking distance of the centre of Rome - this was however, easily accessible by public transport. Compared with hotels in the centre of Rome, this was extremely good value for money - clean and comfortable, with friendly, helpful staff, and II would definitely recommend staying in this hotel rather than one in the centre of Rome. There are plenty of restaurants and bars in the vicinity and PIgneto is an interesting area.
".easy access to transport links"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
We really only slept in the hotel,spending all day sightseeing. The room was larger than expected with average furnishing,the beds were not particulary comfortable,but adequate. The bathroom needs a facelift. The hotel overall was pleasant and the staff we came into contact with were polite and helpfull(the communication between night and day staff was good as we made requests at night for the following day and they were supplied). The one small downside was the noise of the Trams in the early hours(but I tend to wake at around 4:00am )but it was not to intrusive. I would certainly stay there again and would recommend it to friends with the above caveats as it is perfectly positioned for using the busses and trains and you can be anywhere in Rome very quickly. We had a very good and pleasant stay all told.
"Traditional plus comfort and convenience"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
A great place to stay - extremely friendly and helpful host
"Nice room in great location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
We stayed here for 3 nights, and thought the hotel was excellent. Excellently located, close to both Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. The room was a good size with a good bathroom with nice, powerful shower. Room was nicely done up inside, with a modern but comfortable feel to it. The breakfast was good with fruit, croissants, rolls, cheese, ham, pastries and cereals on offer. Only bad point was that although they did a good espresso and cappuccino, ordering just a black coffee seemed to get you a pot of instant coffee. Staff were friendly, the receptionists were welcoming and provided us with maps and helpful information. Would stay again.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
Breakfast was plentiful and tasty, room was clean but I didn't realize it was split level, I found this a little unusual with a bathroom downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. Access between them was via a stainless steel spiral staircase with glass steps. Shower was unusable having no support for the shower head except to hold it while kneeling over the bath to wash your hair. There was no hooks for gowns or anywhere to put you shampoo etc while having a bath. Two safes in the room which was very handy.
"Fantastic Location and Staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 21, 2013
The location was fantastic. The staff where so polite and helpfull. The breakfast team where superb :).The only niggle I have is that the wall's between the bedrooms are really really thin (no sound proofing).

From there, Moonen assumed the position of saucier at Manhattan's La Cote Basque. This experience was followed by two years at Le Cirque working with the legendary Alain Sailhac. In the ensuing years, Moonen continued his career in New York, becoming executive chef at some of New York's most iconic restaurants, including Le Relais, Century Café and Chelsea Central before joining Buzzy O'Keefe at The Water Club.
After six years, Moonen left to become executive chef and partner at Oceana where he helped garner the restaurant national recognition and three stars from The New York Times. His next step was partnering to create Molyvos, a Greek fish house, further demonstrating the range of his culinary skills. Here he brought Greek cuisine to another level, and Molyvos was the first Greek restaurant to earn three stars from The New York Times.
After five years Moonen decided to develop his own restaurant. As executive chef and owner of New York City's rm, Moonen earned critical acclaim and, once again, received three stars from The New York Times. In 2005, he was drawn to the rapidly developing culinary scene in Las Vegas and closed his doors in New York City to bring his unique flavor and specialties of the seafood world to the West Coast with his multi-level restaurant Rick Moonen's rm seafood at Mandalay Bay.

The following resource is part of the Lamaze "Push for Your Baby" campaign, which aims to provide expectant women with the tools and resources they need to get the best care for their babies and themselves.
You may be wondering how to choose the best health care provider for the job. Finding the right person to care for you and your baby during pregnancy, labor and birth is one of the most important decisions you will make, and it can help you feel confident to push for the safest, healthiest birth. As you review doctors and midwives in your area, the following questions can help you find someone who will provide the care you are looking for. Asking questions and providing information builds trust, and it's the best way to make sure everyone is working toward the same goal – the safest, healthiest birth possible for you and your baby.
- What is my role in helping to achieve a safe and healthy birth?
This is an important question that will help you determine whether your care provider will be respectful of your choices and invite your input. By being an active and attentive participant in pregnancy, labor and birth, you can help achieve the best outcomes for you and your baby. Your health care provider – doctor or midwife – has important knowledge and skills, but they don't always know everything about you or what is best for you and your baby. Find out how openly you can share your needs and work in partnership with your care provider to get the care that's best for you. - What standard routine practices should I expect in labor?
This information will help you identify any practices that your care provider may see as needed or routine. While many interventions may seem like they would make childbirth easier, did you know that some of the care that pregnant women routinely receive can have unintended consequences and potentially make birth more difficult and less safe? Many practices in maternity care aren't always necessary, including:- C-sections;
- Electronic Fetal Monitoring;
- Epidurals;
- Episiotomy (surgically cutting the area between the vagina and the anus, called the "perineum," in order to make the vaginal opening larger)
- Induced labor;
- Restricting women from eating and drinking freely;
- Restricting movement;
- Directed pushing; and,
- Separating mom and baby.
Get the most out of your conversation and be specific. Find out more here inChildbirth Challenges.
- How will you work with me as your patient to identify mine and my baby's unique needs?
You and your baby's unique needs should be front and center throughout pregnancy, labor and birth. Like any other kind of health care, maternity care isn't perfect. A lot of the regular care that pregnant women get includes interventions that don't always help and can sometimes even cause harm. Ask your care provider about what's negotiable and what's not. Weigh the answers you get; they will give you good insight into whether you've found a good match. It's important to work with your health care provider early on, because routine care isn't always designed for you and your baby's individuality. Remember that getting the care that matches your and your baby's needs may mean saying, "I'd like to consider another option." - How do you feel about me bringing someone like a doula for one-on-one support?
Many women count on having a nurse by their side to provide important support. But labor nurses may be caring for several women at the same time, and may not have the time to provide contraction by contraction support. Dads are often expected to fill this role, but many times they are new to the process too and need cues on how to best be supportive in labor. A continuous support partner, such as a doula, can help you navigate your labor, support good decision-making and help make sure you're able to communicate your wishes to your health care provider. Keep in mind, some health care providers may not agree to the use of a continuous support partner, such as a doula. Be prepared to ask them "why?" - What is your rate for C-sections? What are the main reasons you perform them? Is there anything you know about me and my baby that might suggest I would need a C-section?
A health care provider's C-section rate can tell you a lot. Cesarean surgery can save lives, but just like any other surgery, it carries risks for you and your baby. More and more babies are being delivered by cesarean, even when there's not a good medical reason to do so. One of the best ways to reduce your chances of a C-section is to give birth in a location , and with a provider, that maintains low cesarean rates . There is no federal requirement for health care providers to report this information, so you need to ask your care provider directly for these details. If your health care provider has a high rate because they say they care for many "high risk" women, be sure to probe about what they consider to be "high risk." - Do you limit the length of labor? Or will you support continuing labor as long as my baby and I are doing OK?
Certain care providers and birthplaces may be under pressure to speed up the birthing process, or put a time limit on your labor and birth. Labor is an intense process, at times overwhelming and draining. But, the good news is that your body is perfectly designed to birth your baby. It's important for you to find out if your care provider will give your body and your baby time to move the process along, and let nature take its course . Childbirth education classes can help you identify various options to keep labor progressing. - How often do you perform inductions? What are the main reasons you perform them? Is there anything you know about me and my baby that might suggest I would need an induction?
Due dates aren't an exact science. Even if you and your care provider feel sure about your date, every baby matures at a different rate. Inducing labor can mean your baby is born before he or she is ready. Labor should only be induced if it is more risky for your baby to remain inside than to be born. Studies have consistently shown your risk of having a C-section nearly doubles with induction with your first labor. It also increases your baby's chance of being born premature. Your best chance of avoiding an induction is by finding a health care provider who uses them sparingly. Lamaze childbirth education classes can also give you many strategies to help labor start on its own. - How will you monitor the baby's heartbeat during labor?
We all want to know our babies are doing OK. Using the same thinking, most care providers will monitor your baby's every heartbeat during labor using electronic fetal monitoring, or EFM. However, EFM can mean you are confined to a bed and not able to use gravity and movement to advance the birthing process. Studies show that a baby's heart rate can be monitored just as safely with a nurse, doctor or midwife regularly checking in to listen at key points in your labor with a Doppler hand-held monitor or something similar. Talk with your health care provider about whether they use intermittent listening so you can move freely, relax between contractions, and avoid the anxiety that comes with being tied to a machine. Ask whether the nurses on staff will use it too. - Will I be able to move around during labor, or will I be confined to bed? In what position will I be giving birth?
Contrary to Hollywood's portrayal of labor, lying on your back in a hospital bed is not the only way to give birth! In fact, walking, moving around and changing positions throughout labor makes the birth of your baby easier. Movement is a natural and active way of responding to the pain of childbirth. When it comes time to push, staying off your back and pushing with your natural urges can be key to making it as easy as possible on you and your baby. Find out if your health care provider will encourage you to stay mobile. - Will my baby be kept in the nursery or in my room?
In many hospitals, it's standard procedure to separate mom and baby for periods of time. However, research has shown that it's best for mom and her healthy baby to stay together after birth. Skin-to-skin contact helps your healthy baby stay warm, cry less, and be more likely to breastfeed. In fact, interrupting, delaying or limiting the time that mom and baby spend together may have a harmful effect on their relationship and on successful breastfeeding. Talk to your care provider and ask if they support "rooming-in ," which will maximize your time with your little one, as well as opportunities for breastfeeding.
