The bears screwed him ... retirement was his best choice after being stabbed in the back . I dont blame him for looking around, but he FITS with the bears and even with diminished performance he is STILL better than 95% of the middle linebackers in the league, if not more.... not to mention he is easily MUCH better than any middle LB the bears have now for this up-coming season. Take that along with the huge amount of rest he has gotten and rigorous off-season training he has been doing to stay in shape. Everyone gets injured.. this is the NFL! For Chicago not to even give the guy just 2 more years (@ only 6million, which he would have taken which is is way under his worth) was a huge, undeserved, slap in the face and just shows how messed-up the ownership really still is in Chicago. Brain, I wish you well and thanks for all the great years .. you deserved an SB ring and Im sorry Rex blew that for you... I hope you enjoy retirement!
Brian Urlacher a legend, but retirement comes at right time
Brian Urlacher could have coaxed another year or two out of a body that was breaking down rapidly. He could have signed with a team hunting for middle linebacker help, like Minnesota or Denver.
Instead, the 2000 Defensive Rookie of the Year, 2005 Defensive Player of the Year and eight-time Pro Bowler opted, wisely, to call it a career on Wednesday.
"After spending a lot of time this spring thinking about my NFL future, I have made the decision to retire," Urlacher said in a statement. "Although I could continue playing, I'm not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that's up to my standards. When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after a 13-year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear.
"I want to thank all the people in my life that have helped me along the way. I will miss my teammates, my coaches, and the great Bears fans. I'm proud to say that I gave all of you everything I had every time I took the field. I will miss the great game, but I leave with no regrets."
While retiring as a one-team player further cements Urlacher's exceptional legacy with the Chicago Bears, he got to the real heart of the matter when he mentioned a decreased "level of performance." Urlacher, who turns 35 later this week, missed all but one game in the 2009 season with a wrist injury and, though he made the Pro Bowl in both 2010 and '11, clearly neared the end of the line during 2012.
Urlacher missed another four games due to injury last season, and he was a shell of his former self on the field. He finished the year averaging fewer than six tackles per game, which would have put him at about 91 for a full 16-game season — a total lower than any other complete year for Urlacher.
Rather than bring the former No. 9 overall pick back for a 14th season, the Bears opted to sign D.J. Williams and draft Jon Bostic, both moves indications that the team had reached the difficult conclusion that Urlacher was finished. Urlacher graded out on Pro Football Focus as Chicago's worst defender by a large margin last season, his sagging run defense at the heart of that rating.
It's not an easy decision for a player to walk away from the game he loves, and we've seen more than a few try too hard to hang on for longer than they should. Urlacher decided to hang 'em up before he reached that breaking point.
And so now we turn our attention to the discussion of Urlacher's legacy. Both within the Bears' franchise and in the annals of NFL history, it's hard to dispute the impact Urlacher had.
He will forever be mentioned alongside Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary as part of the Bears' linebacker lore. Both Butkus and Singletary are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Urlacher no doubt will follow them to Canton in the near future. Urlacher, in fact, surpassed Singletary in games played last season — Urlacher played 182 games (and started 180) for Chicago, compared to 179 for Singletary and 119 for Butkus.
Urlacher's retirement also comes just months after Ray Lewis stepped away from the game following Baltimore's Super Bowl win, meaning the league has lost two of its all-time great defenders this offseason.
Urlacher, though, played a different game than Butkus, Singletary or even Lewis. Whereas the former Bears' MLBs destroyed offenses with intimidation, Urlacher captained Chicago's cover-2 defense, using his instincts and athleticism to eliminate the middle of the field.
That's not to say that he tackled gently, but Urlacher helped carry his position into the modern era. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers told the Chicago Tribune that he "revolutionized" the middle linebacker spot.
"He was so good at running that Tampa-2 scheme," Rodgers said. "They had him play both the deep middle and then react to the short middle. He changed that position with his height and long levers and athleticism."
Urlacher's days of domination had passed, however, and he looked overmatched against sped-up NFL offenses last season — almost to the point of it being tough to watch at times.
The Bears realized his time had come and gone. Even if part of him desired to continue his career, Urlacher knew it too.

Daydreaming With Sozi = Good Idea

Huge Crowds Make USA 7s a Success |
Tournaments - USA Sevens Tournament |
And the fans. The fans were loud, smiling, and numerous. Paid attendance for Sunday was 25,032. Add to Saturday's gate of 24,877 makes a total of 49,909, just 91 short of 50,000. The attendance was a massive increase over 2010, by the order of 36%. By all accounts the fans really embraced the event, and made the 2011 USA 7s the biggest and most commercially successful rugby event ever. (During the days when some colleges banned football in the early part of the 20th Century, some college rugby teams drew huge crowds. We are measuring the event outside of that period.) |

Believing in a Better Modesty Movement
Displaying 110 of 28 comments
Devon Torchiana
Dannah, I very much appreciate your framing of modesty within a celebration of God's creation and the beauty of the bodies He created. So often modesty can become one more way to restrict and surveil women, but the way you have constructed it here is a healthy and supportive way of thinking about what is appropriate. hopefullydevon.blogspot.com
Jim, I'm not sure where you live in that you commonly interact with "streetwalkers" (I'm assuming these people are prostitutes that advertise their wares on streetcorners), but for the vast majority of us, I think, we don't really have a point of reference. If you are actually seeing women whom you mistake for prostitutes at your church or in your daily interactions because you also know how prostitutes dress ... then I think this is an issue for you to, perhaps, address. You might say something like, "One of the prostitutes that I know has that same dress that you have on." -- If that is an untruth, and you don't actually interact with prostitutes and don't in reality, have a point of reference outside of the movie, "Pretty Woman" -- then you might just withhold judgement.
Jim Ricker
If you don't want to be thought of as a street-walker, don't dress or act like one. If you don't want to be thought of as a block-walker, don't dress or act like one. If you think that it is inappropriate but that 11, 14, 16, 0r 34 year-old females walking around with mini-skirts and scoop tops on while looking like a version of "Pretty Woman" (a street-walker) is not inappropriate, then you have zero sense of biblical modesty. If you want to argue against a straw man who thinks women should wear ankle-length dresses and burlap bags while being denied the right to go to school, go ahead by all means. You'll just be hitting a false person with a false position. Much of the modesty movement is nothing more than common-sense.
Jim Ricker
Hi Janet - as a person who grew up in a rather conservative Baptist church, attended a very conservative biblical college of Baptistic roots and has been involved to one degree or another over the years with the 'modesty movement' I'd say I'm well versed with the movement yes. Eating disorders do not come from unreal expectations of modesty. Many other problems come from the extremes of unrealistic 'modesty' expectations but eating disorders are not one of them. There is nothing inappropriate in pointing out that much of what one sees streetwalkers dressed in while they are working is the same as what much of the women and young girls are wearing today - nothing at all. You just don't like the expression because it is too close to the truth for you and you don't like it. Just like it would be wholly appropriate to say that boys who are walking around with their pants halfway down their legs look like those who are the ones who are the block-walkers in prison. Continued
Jim -- do you really know what's taught and underscored by the "modesty movement"? Read any articles, paid any attention at your own church? I think you'd be surprised by what you find, if you took the time to look into this issue beyond your gut response for women "not to dress like streetwalkers" (which, by the way, is just a terribly inappropriate expression).
Jim Ricker
No one has an eating disorder caused by a 'modesty movement' or anything like one. Trying to connect not dressing like a street walker or not wearing a scoop down to the middle of your cleavage has nothing to do with whether you eating disorders. There is a hug difference from teaching your daughter that modesty is an attitude of presenting yourself honorably (and this goes for guys as well - having prison-pants is not modest) and telling her to make sure there is nothing showing that could possibly ever make a male look longingly. This principle is the same for men (modesty in appearance, modesty in thinking, modesty in presenting oneself). My dad had a great way of describing all this stuff and he wasn't a believer by any stretch. If you shine your car up, detail it out, clean the engine nice, put it out at the edge of the property along the road with the hood up, the windows down and the doors open, everyone will want to stop and look, and buy - and this shouldn't be surprising.
Michael Trowbridge
The resultant self-objectification of young girls is becoming a major problem stemming from this (twisted) modesty movement. Anorexia in 7 – 10 year old girls is growing rapidly. In fact, my 8 year old beautiful niece is now readmitted to the hospital for another whole week to prevent her self- imposed starvation. This hyper-focused obsession on repressive outer "modesty" demonstrates a repudiation of God given feminine beauty akin to what Islam is doing with the burqa. I agree that the push up padded bra is wrong by disrespecting the specific feminine beauty that girl has (smaller breasts). But to corrupt the beauty of the larger breasted woman deeming her beauty is immodest and impure is also disrespecting God's design for her... when you say she must hide her God designed beauty. When you write, "God calls us to modesty and purity..." this is true for the inner person. 1 Tim 2:9 is the only verse which supports your call for "modesty" – and it seems to be mistranslated....
My concern of late, watching & observing or noticing Christian Gospel Female Artists/Celebrities dress code (their own). I pulled the Febr., 2012 article on "Clothing" up to see if I could find anything to answer my concerns (I couldn't read all the comments) and then I read this article too. I guess I'm trying to get a feel from others or an article done here regarding the dress apparel of Gospel Artists. I see of late very short dresses or over-large tops over leggings (not jeans or slacks) and/or skirts or dresses over the knees as they perform or express themselves in voice ministries. I am a little bit older and part of the boomer generation, so yes my culture was raised off our parents' culture, but with modesty, classiness and a little hip/cool if you want to call it. I just think we as Christians are set-part from the world & worldly things to draw others to Christ. It's His anointing I want to see through the spoken or sung Word. What are your thoughts anyone?
wondering how one "purifies" another person .... Are you to wash away your wife's sins in some manner? It's an honest question. When one sets themselves up as Jesus in their wife's world -- it presupposes a level of sinlesness on the husband's part and a measure of sinfulness on the wife's. I think one must look a little closer at these verses to determine their correct meaning -- as it cannot possibly be saying that the husband is God.

Hello community,
I don't know if this has been brought up already, forgive me if this may sound redundant.
Okay, my problem is the storage. I have 400mb of free space, but I can't seem to install a 50mb game from Xbox.
I have no idea what's going on.
Ps this is my first smart phone, so please be nice with your comments. I am a noob in the smartphone world.
Thank you - 02-04-2013, 02:59 AM #2
I'm guessing the download file size is 50mb. But the install size will be a lot bigger, also it will want to take up x amount of space for a cache. Im afraid the only way is to uninstall some apps to make more space. I'd personally suggest sending it back and getting a lumia 620 instead as it has more internal storage.

Illuka Manor is around 3 km from Kuremäe, the biggest town in Illuka municipality. Originally constructed in 1657, the manor you see today was completed in 1888 by the Dieckhoffs. Since 1921 it has been home to Illuka's school. In summer you can take a look inside the manor as part of the organised excursions.

Coalition Admiral Brit Bandar is a veteran of the long-running war between the barbarian Drakken Horde and the more-advanced Coalition forces.Now that the Drakken have been defeated (see Grant's previous trilogy), a new, Triad government has been established with Coalition, Drakken, and Earth representatives. Brit finds herself summoned by the Prime-Admiral of the Coalition, where she is informed that a new state-of-the-art ship, the Unity, awaits her command. She'll be in charge of a crew that includes Coalition, Drakken, and Earthling members. Her second-in-command, in fact, is a Drakken: former pirate-turned-warleader Finn Rorkken. Their mission is to patrol the Borderlands between the former Coalition and Drakken territories and try to draw rogue Drakken into the Triad.
Finn, one of the few remaining Drakken Warleaders, commands a beat-up ship with a hungry crew that he can barely feed, now that his Drakken-issued scrip is worthless. He's tired of war and willing to give the Triad a chance, especially when he can bring his crew on board the Unity and perhaps change all of their lives for the better. Brit, however, is dismayed to find the pirate once known as the Scourge of the Borderlands, a man she chased many times and never caught, is now aboard her ship. Worse, he reminds her of her beloved late husband, and the attraction she feels for him can't be anything but disastrous.
Finn is equally bemused to meet the woman known throughout the galaxy as Stone Heart. Under her aloof demeanor, he senses a loneliness and slight vulnerability that puzzles him as much as her body attracts him. What caused that instant flash of pain on her face when they met? But Finn will have his hands full trying to keep control of his Drakken crewmembers, help them assimilate and adjust to working with Coalition crew, and deal with several savage attacks on outpost planets.
I enjoyed this story immensely. Susan Grant often writes about mature heroines, and Brit Bandar is no exception. Nearing forty, she's experienced much in life but has closed off her emotions, even reducing sex to a paid commodity. This works, until Finn's resemblance to her dead husband knocks her completely off-balance. At its heart, the story is about her struggle to overcome her deep-seated hatred of the Drakken and see Finn for the honorable man he is underneath. Grant does a fine job of detailing Brit's pain at the massacre of her family. It's introduced early on, and her subsequent struggle to abandon her prejudice is handled well. No lightning-fast turnarounds here, but a gradual acceptance, thanks to Finn's gentle handling and strong support.
Finn is less complicated, at least emotionally. He's an orphan, grew up on the streets, and rose to the rank of Warleader through his skills and intelligence. He long ago accepted what he couldn't change, and his focus is on the future - a sharp contrast to Brit, who is emotionally frozen in time and can't let go of her past. Finn is a dream hero in many ways: strong, honorable, and a terrific lover, but willing to admit he's knocked for a loop by Brit, who is his equal in intelligence and courage. When Brit finally decides that the only way to get Finn out of her thoughts is to just bed him and be done with it, it's red-hot - and her fate is sealed.
A secondary romance involving several crewmembers was enticing, but not quite resolved, and I'm hoping it might make its way into a future book. Grant left the door open for a more fully-developed story there. As for the world-building, this is pretty much a sequel series to her last trilogy, so readers who have some knowledge of her past books will feel right at home, but it stands alone easily. In fact, the author takes pains to show the small details of life on board a star ship, and it's these little touches that bring it to life. One interesting note is that it takes place in current Earth time, in sort of a parallel-universe fashion. References to contemporary pop culture such as movie titles and brands of beer will help the reader place it.
The sub-plot of attacks on small outposts by a possible Drakken rogue band exists really as a catalyst to get Brit to resolve her issues, but it's functional and doesn't feel stuck on. Overall, Moonstruck is an excellent start to this new series, and I strongly recommend it. Susan Grant shows once again that she's a master at her craft. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Enter The Deuce: Part VI
Nature does not abide the straight line. Perfection in nature is rare and what it looks like can be surprising. Imperfections can be just as hard to recognize; often hidden by what we expect to see, what seems normal, they can be the most mundane of details. So while in a straight line we see consistency, constancy, the absence of error, a mathematical precision that suggests a kind of mastery to please the human mind by reassuring us and banishing fears, nature takes its own course, one where the route might be no less imperative, but a path without the arrogance to pass all things undisturbed.
When the housing market took off in the early 2000s, a friend laughed at me for putting what little money I had into a magazine, when—of course—any sane person would buy a house. And if they already had a house, they'd buy another. There can be little doubt it would have been a better use of my money but when my interest rate would have shot through the roof and I couldn't afford to pay my mortgage—something I considered so distinct a possibility I refused a loan I was offered—as it turns out, I would have been able to keep my house because other tax payers would have been forced to rescue me from my bad judgement. It turns out that my responsible judgement was worse than everyone else's bad judgement. Who knew? The point being that as he and other friends laughed at me for missing out on what everyone was saying was going to be a permanent escalation in real estate values for all time with prices gaining double digits annually until the sun burned up all its hydrogen. That whole linear function thingy.
Only it didn't play out that way. But because so many people banked on exactly that impossible scenario (among other factors) our economy still hasn't recovered.
The Deuce is now a corollary to that fundamental truth. Based on the confusing, incomplete and occasionally contradictory information we're getting from the doctors, our son either hasn't improved in a week or he's worse. Or maybe something else entirely. We're not sure. But my mind keeps going back to the dissatisfaction I experienced with the housing bubble because though I wasn't rewarded for good judgement, I knew the market wouldn't continue to go up, that the bubble would burst, that there would be hell to pay for all those people who bet the farm on a linear function.
What ought to be giving me smug satisfaction right now is just a source of irritation. I knew that the Deuce wouldn't get better every day until finally he'd go home. But what is really hard to deal with is knowing that he may or may not have gotten any better for a week, but we really can't be sure because doctors waited six freaking days to decide to inspect his chest tube that was draining no fluid.
Six days ago they told us there was fluid in his chest. Six days ago they told us the fluid wasn't draining. Six days ago they told us they weren't sure why the fluid wasn't draining. Six days ago they admitted the tube might be clogged.
Yesterday, I repeat, yesterday, they pulled the tube out only to discover that—lo!—all three openings in the chest tube were clogged with a thick, pussy gunk.
In my previous discussions with the doctors I made it clear that they had my trust. I made it clear that all I asked was clear and frequent communication based on the facts. In those circumstances in which we didn't have a complete set of facts, talk to me about statistics and percentages, what was most likely to play out. I know that no one sinks the 8-ball on their opening shot. Just tell me how many shots are likely to elapse before someone calls "corner pocket."
Don't bullshit me. Ever.
The request I didn't make because I didn't think I needed to make it was, "Stay on top of your patient." Okay, so that's not a request, but I could have asked, "Would you please stay on top of your patient?" I've received a great many nice notes from medical professionals and regular folks like me who encouraged me to stay chill and let the docs do their thing.
Which I did. I stayed chill.
And what did they do? Well, I'm not sure, but it wasn't "their thing." I consider "their thing" to include getting any and all stray fluid out of my son. If his primary problem is fluid leaking from his thoracic duct into his chest and thereby compressing his right lung so that he can't breathe properly, then they should do their shit and get the fluid out. Proto, or in their terms, STAT.
Look, if this was a carwash and someone missed hitting my tires with the Armor-All, it would be no biggie. My tires aren't going to go flat. I'm not going to lose control of the car in a turn. My gas mileage isn't going to fall to M1 Abrams.
But this ain't Armor-All. This is a rare and otherwise fatal condition in my son. My son who is relying on their skill and know-how to hopefully one-day leave the NICU and move to Redondo Beach. For him to go home, he needs to be well. For him to be well he must improve. For him to improve, he needs optimal treatment, that may or may not include surgery. But we can't know exactly what treatment he needs if his doctors don't really know what's going on with him. And I'm sorry, but if you've taken five days to decide to pull out a chest tube that hasn't removed any fluid from his body to the little measuring receptacle because it is clogged with some sort of puss-like gunk, then I think I have a right to tell you to your face that you aren't operating with a full set of facts. And if you aren't really operating with a full set of facts, but those facts are there to be gathered—all they needed to do was pull that tube out to know—then you aren't really doing your job. That's an important detail and I have a right to ask why and receive a straight answer.
Look, if I show up for a hilly bike race with a cassette meant for the flats because I didn't bother to read the course description or look at the course profile, and I have trouble getting up the climbs because I'm over-geared, that's my fault and I deserve to have my ass handed to me. There was data. I could have made decisions based on it. I didn't do my due diligence.
My understanding is that once my son has been here 30 days, he will be evaluated for progress. That seems reasonable. However, if his progress depends on treatment that requires a complete set of facts, it's unacceptable to spend 20 percent of that time wondering why fluid isn't draining out of him.
Changing a chest tube is no picnic. If Maslow had a hierarchy of discomfort, this would rank way higher than, say, a bagel cut or road rash. You'd rather have the stomach flu than a chest tube. And you'd rather have a colonoscopy than have someone remove or insert a chest tube. But that's no reason not to do it. Matthew was on a witches brew of drugs yesterday after they did, finally, change his test tube. Dr. Drew Pinsky has made a career out of treating people who think the cocktail Matthew was on—Phenobarbital, Lidocaine, Lorazepam and Naloxone—would make for the ultimate party. He slept the entire afternoon and evening.
We're three weeks in and our reality is one I struggle to accept. The Deuce's nurses know him and his preferences better than we do. I hate that. Having a nurse tell me what my son likes makes me feel like the most absentee dad since … I dunno, name the father of some mass-murderer. Most days, I feel like I'm the parent of one-and-a-half kids, if even that.
I learned that a friend of my wife's used Matthew as motivation while she ran a half marathon last weekend. She said that every time she faltered, she thought of him and that gave her strength. That a little guy who can't survive outside an isolette can inspire someone to run 13.1 miles is one of those outcomes no one could guess. Finding out that the Deuce could give someone strength even as his situation robbed us of ours humbled me to my core. I felt as if someone else was experiencing more love for him than I was, and in that I was both embarrassed and filled with hope. If that's not a fresh take on Keats' notion of negative capability, I don't know what is.

There's no "might" about it — John Flansburgh and John Linnell stand as giants of the "Alternative music" revolution. Formed in 1982, They Might Be Giants have charmed their way into the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of music lovers over the years. While the duo's clever songwriting is nearly impossible to "copy" (making it somewhat hard to truly judge their lasting musical influence), the freedom and joyous sense of adventure in their impeccably crafted songs have no doubt inspired a multitude of music makers
. TMBG has been working on converting future generations — not only does the band's music live on in movie and TV land (the group has done the themes to cartoons like Higglytown Heroes and performs the Bob Mould-written Daily Show theme song), but they're basically The Beatles of children's music, dropping a handful of well-received kids albums since 2002's No! They Might Be Giants are so popular with the diaper-set, their grown-up show at Madison Theater (730 Madison Ave., Covington) Sunday night with guests Vandaveer (promoting TMBG's forthcoming 16th album, Nanobots) comes with this warning on the Madison's website (madisontheateronline.com): "This show is ages 14+; NOTE: No one under 14 will be admitted to the show, even when accompanied by a parent or guardian." So leave the tykes at home and find your inner child with TMBG this weekend. $23 in advance; $25 at the door. Sunday, March 3. madisontheateronline.com.

Hello 2nd week and muscles in biceps not as tight and swollen as after 1st workout. After 1st workout they were so tight and sore to the point I did'nt think I would be able to work them on friday but by thursday night they were fine. They were so sore and pumped it felt good, are they supposed to feel like that every week? Also the 1st 12 reps are we supposed to lift the max we can, if so I have to drop weight to do the following sets?
I was sore for the first two weeks after every workout but it goes away. Now I don't get sore even when lifting heavy. As far as the reps and sets are concerned:
Do the first set of 12 with a lower weight to get warmed up
rest 1 min
Do the second set of 10 reps with a heavier weight (I usually add 5-10Lbs)
On the third set add weight and do 8 reps
For the fourth set add weight (almost your max) and do 6 reps
Fifth set, reduce weight 1 step to the weight you did on the third set and do 12 reps.
Go directly to another exercise for the same muscle group and do up to12 reps at the max you can do.
Rest 2 minutes and move to the next muscle group.
If you feel you can do more than 12 reps on the last 2 sets, increase the weight for all of the sets.
Good luck with your workouts.

Nairobi, 11 Oct 07 The new Permanent Representative of Israel to UN-HABITAT, Mr. Jacob Keidar, on Wednesday presented his credentials to the Executive Director, Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka.
Welcoming the envoy, Mrs. Tibaijuka thanked the Government of Israel for its moral and financial support to the organization. She noted that Israel and UN-HABITAT have been enjoying good relations and assured the envoy that UN-HABITAT had made impressive progress in the last few years. Mrs. Tibaijuka also informed the envoy that UN-HABITAT has increased its activities in Israel.
Mrs. Tibaijuka recalled that during her visit to Israel in 2005, she signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Israel Centre for International Cooperation (MASHAV) to advance technical training of professionals in the field of human settlements. The MOU also include training of professionals for capacity building in local government and land administration.
The Executive Director noted that Israel has made substantial progress in the development of solar technology and called for technical cooperation between Israel and UN-HABITAT in this field for the benefit of slum dwellers.
Mr. Keidar pointed out that solar technology is now compulsory for all new buildings in Israel because it is cheap and a one-off expenditure. He assured the Executive Director of his country's willingness to work with UN-HABITAT to ensure the development of solar energy for slum dwellers.

Sep 23, 2013To me season 3 is when this show hit its peak. This is my favorite season of the 5 and always will be, but for some reason something told me they should have ended the show with this season since it reached its purpose. Unfortunately the last two seasons make this show decline. 10/10 from me.
Oct 5, 2011Yet again, they deiliver like no other. I thought of NBC as a stupid, **** piece of **** that had one good show. With this show and season, I finally have the ability to reframe that mindset. It's awesome enough to the point of appreciating the network that releases it
Jan 10, 2011There are many television shows that get worse with time, fortunately, Chuck is not one of them. Every season of Chuck gets better. With a plot that covers everything from action to comedy and romance, every viewer will have something to look forward to in Chuck.
Nov 6, 2010Chuck just keeps getting better and better. Its an outstanding comedy, and a fantastic action filled spy show. A show like this deserves more viewers than its getting.
Sep 3, 2010The plot twists in this season are just amazing. At times you almost want to yell at the villains on the screen, it pulls you in and takes you for a great ride. Can't wait to see how they pull it together in the next season.
Sep 2, 2010One of the best shows on TV with twists and lots of steamy romance. The character connection on screen works well with the show. You will feel a connection with the characters and can relate with them.
DouglasT.Jan 27, 2010This is one of my favorite shows of all time. Why? Because its a consistently fun, lighthearted, silly, action adventure romp that always puts me in a good mood. In other words, its exactly what I want from a good TV show.
MaddogJ.Jan 27, 2010I don't know what happened in the off season, but it seems as though the writing team listened to the critics and molded a new show with this awesome cast putting up a stronger performance every week.
AvinashS.Jan 26, 2010This new season is lot more interesting than the previous seasons. Its a perfect balance of comedy, action and romance. this new season will be a real treat to watch.
BenLJan 25, 2010As excellent as ever. The slightly repeating storyline throughout the episodes may bore some, but an underlying progression of plot made by excellent acting and creativity on the director's part keeps the show exciting and a joy to watch.
KRJan 17, 2010This season is a little bit of the same awesomeness we've come to expect. The fun balance of spy stuff with the nerdherd world is just the right tone to escape from real life and have a few laughs. The only spy comedy out there worth watching, and this season with Chuck not being so anemic in the skills department has been a fun addition.
CJJan 13, 2010Chuck contains a little for everyone, and the third season is no different. It is taking a new path this season, but is still a nice combination of physical comedy, clever writing, action, suspense and romance. IIt's difficult not to like something here. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!
JasonSJan 12, 2010I'm sure there are more sophisticated shows on television. But in terms off pure enjoyment, wit, laughs, consistency and overall joy, "Chuck" exceeds all others. Thank you, NBC, for giving the show another chance. We are all grateful.
BillDJan 12, 2010Drama, Intrigue, Romance, Comedy, all done tastefully. One of the best shows on TV.
RyanSJan 11, 2010I thought this show had great balance and a tendency to play with all of my emotions. There was never a dule moment and the continued tention between Chuck and Sarah leave me on edge. It is the best show on TV now!
LeahTJan 11, 2010
MikeNJan 11, 2010Can't decide if it wants to be situation comedy, spy-romance or action. Increasingly it does none of them well, using Reset Buttons to return everything to stasis.
LukeSJan 10, 2010
The show remains lightweight and occasionally just silly, but it's also a comedy that's truly tense, a drama with a mythology that rarely gets bogged down.
Because the comedy is so strong, the cast is so likable, and everyone involved so obviously has a passion for making the show as entertaining as it can be, there's a sense of joy around "Chuck" that's infectious.
The five episodes NBC sent out don't, to my eye, reach the heights Chuck hit toward the end of its season 2 run. But after a major change in the show's premise--rather than being a sad sack nerd dragged into the spy-life, Chuck is now a certified ass-kicker, thanks to getting some superpowered brainwaves--the show successfully changes gears while keeping everything that's best about it.

Global mercury treaty could make local fish safer
Because mercury floats around the Earth, reductions elsewhere could reduce levels here at home.By: John Myers, Duluth News Tribune
It didn't make many headlines at the time, but delegates from 140 nations earlier this month quietly signed the first-ever global treaty to reduce mercury emissions, a move that could help make Northland fish safer to eat.
The treaty, reached in Geneva, Switzerland, after years of negotiations, is aimed at reducing human-caused mercury emissions from smokestacks, gold mining and other sources — mercury that can float around the Earth before falling in rain and snow, sometimes thousands of miles from the source.
That mercury can transform into highly toxic methylmercury in wetlands, lakes and rivers, building up in fish and then in animals that eat fish, including loons, eagles and people.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and most other states have issued fish consumption advisories, warning anglers and others to limit their meals of some fish, such as walleye and northern pike. The advisories even warn pregnant women and children not to eat larger fish at all. The warnings are aimed at preventing accumulated toxic mercury buildup known to cause developmental and neurological damage, especially in fetuses and young children.
The United Nations environmental program reported this month that the amount of mercury falling into the top layer of the world's oceans has doubled in the past century. Some mercury comes from natural sources, such as volcanoes. But it's believed the big increase in recent years has come from human sources — nearly 2,000 tons per year into the air and another 1,000 tons directly into water.
Supporters of the new treaty say any reduction in how much mercury goes up and later falls to Earth will help reduce the amount of toxic mercury getting through to people.
"Everyone in the world stands to benefit ... in particular the workers and families of small-scale gold miners, the peoples of the Arctic and this generation of mothers and babies and the generations to come," said Achim Steiner, U.N. environment program executive director, in a statement Jan. 19 as the treaty was approved.
Stopping the source
The treaty sets controls and reduction targets for many industries, products and manufacturing processes that use mercury, focusing on four main areas: the global supply and trade of mercury; the use of mercury in products and industrial processes; efforts to reduce emissions from small-scale gold mining in poor nations; and measures to reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants and metals production facilities such as smelters.
If and when a real reduction in mercury is achieved by the treaty, the results could be seen relatively quickly, said James Hurley, project director of the University of Wisconsin Water Resources Institute. Recent research headed by Hurley found that new mercury added to a lake shows up rapidly in the food chain. But Hurley's work also found that mercury levels drop in fish shortly after the level of mercury entering the lake goes down — within the first year for minnows and soon after for bigger fish.
"The treaty really seems to try to tackle the sale and movement of mercury and how much mercury is out there going into small-scale gold mining. What we're seeing now is that the amount of mercury one person is using for this kind of mining could be the same as a day's worth of mercury from one coal plant," Hurley said, noting recent estimates put mercury used for gold mining at more than one-third of all global emissions.
Mercury is used as an amalgam to bind with the gold, and later is burned off so the gold can be sold. The use of mercury has dramatically increased along with the skyrocketing price of gold in recent years.
"If they can really get a handle on that part of it, and also go after the emissions from coal plants and other industrial sources, we could see a real reduction in the amount of mercury in the atmosphere," Hurley added. "And that would translate to less mercury going into our lakes. We'd see a corresponding reduction in the food chain."
Mercury migrates here
Minnesota already has been taking action, for more than a decade, to reduce mercury from products such as batteries, thermostats, switches and light bulbs. The state also cracked down on mercury in dental implants and even mercury that went up the smokestacks of crematoria. The state also was among the first to require power plants to reduce mercury emissions, and now the federal Environmental Protection Agency has followed suit nationwide. Iron Range taconite plants, among the largest sources of mercury emissions in the state, also are moving to reduce smokestack mercury.
But state researchers say that, on average, only about 10 percent of the mercury that falls into Minnesota lakes is from Minnesota sources. Nearly one-third of the mercury deposition in Minnesota is from human sources far away — so-called global emissions, said Rebecca Place, mercury program manager for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
That's why, after all of Minnesota's efforts, the amount of mercury in fish hasn't declined much in many cases, Place said.
"We can't solve the problem of mercury in Minnesota fish tissue only with actions in Minnesota. So seeing a global effort to tackle this problem really does seem like a big step forward," Place said. "It's going to take years to see the actual reductions from this treaty. ... But it's still important that this is being addressed at a global level."
Many Northland residents were jolted a year ago when the Minnesota Department of Health released a study that showed 10 percent of all babies born in the Lake Superior region of the state have levels of toxic mercury in their bloodstreams above the 5.8 micrograms per liter that the EPA considers safe. Some went as high as 211 micrograms per liter. Fetuses, infants and children are most at risk from mercury exposure because even small amounts can harm the developing brain and nervous system.
The health department, with federal funding, is conducting an intensive follow-up study in Cook County to find out how to reduce pregnant women's exposure to mercury, which is probably coming from fish the mothers eat.

Core exercises are an important part of a well-rounded fitness program. Aside from occasional sit-ups and push-ups, however, core exercises are often neglected. Still, it pays to get your core muscles — the muscles around your trunk and pelvis — in better shape. Read on to find out why.
Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.
Any exercise that involves the use of your abdominal and back muscles in coordinated fashion counts as a core exercise. A bridge is a classic core exercise. Lie on your back with your knees bent. Keep your back in a neutral position, not arched and not pressed into the floor. Avoid tilting your hips. Tighten your abdominal muscles. Raise your hips off the floor until your hips are aligned with your knees and shoulders. Hold the position for as long as you can without breaking your form.

A practical guide for coastal resource managers to reduce damage from Catchment areas based on best practice case studies
Resource Type: Tools / Applications One third of the world's population lives in coastal areas and rapid development of these areas has meant increased construction of coastal infrastruc- ture (e.g. ports, navigation channels, coastal de- fence) and related activities (e.g. land reclamation, beach nourishment), which has inevitably led to conflicting priorities between coral reef conservation and economic growth. The key impacts of these ac- tivities, if not managed, include:
• Direct loss of coral reef caused by the removal or burial of reefs
• Lethal or sub-lethal stress to corals caused by elevated turbidity and sedimentation rates
Dredging and port construction activities potentially affect not only the site itself, but also surrounding ar- eas, through a large number of impact vectors (e.g. turbid plumes, sedimentation, release of contami- nants, bathymetric changes). Effects may be imme- diate or develop over a longer timeframe and may be temporary or permanent in nature, depending on a large number of factors.
Coral reefs are a critical global resource, both biologically, and in socio-economic terms. Coral reefs are also highly sensitive to climatic influences and appear to number among the most sensitive of all ecosystems to temperature changes, exhibiting the phenomenon known as coral bleaching when stressed by higher than normal sea temperatures.
Resource Type: ReportsThis report presents comprehensive and up-to-date information and data on marine cold-water coral reefs from around the world. Cold Water Coral Reefs: Out of Sight - No Longer Out of Mind aims to provide policy makers with the information required to take concerted action in the conservation, protection and sustainable management of these beautiful, largely unexplored and fragile coral reefs.
In 2008, the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted scientific criteria for identifying ecologically or biologically significant marine areas in need of protection on the open oceans and deep seas.
While much scientific discovery lies ahead, available information and current and emerging methodologies already allow us to begin identifying oceanic features that are likely of particular ecological or biological importance.
The World's oceans play a crucial role for life on the planet. Healthy seas and the services they provide are key to the future development of mankind. Our seas are highly dynamic, structured and complex systems. The seafloor consists of vast shelves and plains with huge mountains, canyons and trenches which dwarf similar structures on land. Ocean currents transport water masses many times larger than all rivers on Earth combined.
In this report, the locations of the most productive fishing grounds in the World - from shallow, coastal waters to the deep and high seas - are compared to projected scenarios of climate change, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, intensity of fisheries, land-based pollution, increase of invasive species infestations and growth in coastal development.
Resource Type: ReportsHotspot Ecosystem Research on the Margins of European Seas (HERMES) was one of the 40 most successful projects under the EU's 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. Following completion of the project in March 2009, The HERMES Story is published jointly by HERMES and UNEP to inform policy and decision makers from around the world about the lessons learned and the amazing new insights into deep-sea biodiversity, structure, function and dynamics discovered under HERMES. The HERMES Story highlights the need for concerted action to protect the deep sea against the increasing pressures, threats and impacts from human activities and climate change, and provides inspiration for the development of similar deep-sea research projects in other regions.

Saint Abo of Tblisi
Also known as
- Abo of Tibileli
- Abo of Tiflis
Grew up Muslim. Perfumer to Nerses, the prince of Kartli, a region of eastern Georgia. As a young adult, Abo became convinced of the truth of Christianity, but was afraid to convert openly as Georgia was under Muslim rule and conversion was a capital offense. For political reasons, his prince had to seek shelter in Khazaria north of the Caspian Sea, an area free of Muslim control; Abo and 300 other members of the court accompanied him, and Abo was baptized there. The prince and his party returned to Tblisi in 782, and for a few years Abo lived quietly as a "closet" Christian. However, in 786 he was exposed as a Christian, and tried for being an apostate from Islam. He confessed his faith at trial, was imprisoned, and martyred.
- 8th century at Baghdad, (in modern Iraq)
- beheaded 6 January 786 at Tblisi, Georgia
- his body was burned on the edge of cliff, and his bones thrown off a bridge into the Kura River
- his biographer, a contemporary named John Sabanisidze, swears a pillar of light was seen rising from the water the next day

Game Preview 5/29/12: Master Eight - Yankees @ Angels
New York Yankees (26-22) @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (25-25)
Pitching Probables: NYY – Andy Pettite (2-1, 2.53 ERA) LAA – Dan Haren (2-5, 3.76 ERA)
Game Info: 7:05 PM PT; TV - Fox Sports West; Radio - KLAA 830
Hey, what's this? That record up there, look! The Angels are actually at .500 again!!! Whoopie!!!! It seems like with the roll they're on they'll NEVER lose a game! Nothing can stop these guys, especially not the post-retirement return of Andy Pettite!
Should I keep jinxing the team or would it be best to stop now?
With the way Dan Haren pitched in his last start, striking out a career high 14 against the Mariners while walking none in a shutout effort, you can count on the fact that the Yankees won't score nearly as much as they did yesterday. The same could be said for the Angels since they don't get to face the Southern California native who can't pitch against his hometown team Phil Hughes, but with the way the bats were swinging last night it seems like even the best of pitchers would have a little trouble on the mound against these guys.
The Angels have just proved that they can battle tooth and nail to pull out a gritty win even when the circumstances are against them. That's great to see, but tonight maybe we could get a nice comfortable steamroll of a win?
It would feel real nice guys, I promise!

Home » News » Politics » State House Dome
Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Will House, Senate continue the feud?
The negotiations look to be fierce and ugly this year, foremost because the House is controlled by Democrats and the Senate by Republicans.
The Senate last Thursday killed two bills the House passed to increase revenue, a 20 cent tobacco tax increase and a 12 cent increase in the gas tax over three years.
Some key House and Senate players had worked out a deal that if gambling passed the House, the Senate would go along with a 4 or 5 cent increase in the gas tax to raise money for road and bridge projects. That increase would at least pay for finishing the Interstate 93 expansion from Salem to Manchester and avoid layoffs at the Department of Transportation.
The House Public Works and Highways Committee will also decide on Bragdon's pet project, Senate Bill 3, to eliminate one of the three ramp tolls off the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, the largest town in his Senate district.
Here's betting the gas tax may show up on this bill.
The Next Big Fight: Now that each body's preferred revenue source has been killed, all eyes are likely to turn to Medicaid expansion for the next big battle between the House and the Senate.
Expansion would also provide state health care providers with an estimated $2.5 billion over the next seven years when the federal government pays from 100 to 90 percent of the cost of the new Medicaid recipients.
But GOP senators have balked at expanding the program, saying the federal government has not lived up to its promises, using special education as an example.
He and Morse say they want more information before expanding the program, a frequent refrain from critics.
The Senate Finance Committee is expected to add its weight to the fight Tuesday when it decides on a bill concerning the state and federal partnership for the state's health insurance exchange required under the Affordable Care Act.
Medicaid expansion will be one of the major sticking points during budget negotiations between the House and Senate.
Social Media Passwords: The Senate takes up a bill this week that would prevent employers from requiring an employee or prospective employee to divulge his or her password to social media or email accounts.
The bill would not limit an employer's right to adopt and enforce workplace policies on equipment or Internet use or to monitor an employee's use of company equipment.
The 21st century comes to the New Hampshire General Court.
