Nice start goes awry for Byrd, Indians
After losing five-run lead in seventh inning, slide reaches 10
DETROIT -- Jimmy Carter was president.More appropriate to the situation, Jeff Torborg was manager. That's the last time the Indians did what they've done here in 2008. What was once a season of promise and a season centered on completing unfinished business has hit its lowest of many low points -- and it's a point no Tribe team has dared approach in nearly three decades. Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park -- a loss in which a 6-0 lead was wasted and in which Miguel Cabrera's two-run homer off Jensen Lewis in the ninth provided the finishing blow -- marks not only the finale of a winless road trip once deemed "make or break" but also gives the Indians 10 consecutive losses for the first time since June of 1979. "I've never been here before," manager Eric Wedge said. "As a player or a manager, I've never been here." The Indians didn't get here by accident. Theirs is a starting pitching staff ravaged by injuries to Jake Westbrook and Fausto Carmona and, most recently, the trade of ace CC Sabathia. Theirs is an offense that, even on nights that begin with promise, is continually unable to come through in the clutch. And theirs is a bullpen that has lost the trust of its manager. "We're losing collectively," said starter Paul Byrd, who was foiled by the 'pen in this one and remains winless since June 6. "You can't single out one facet of our game." So Wedge will do what obviously must be done at this point. He will gather his club before Thursday's home game against the Rays and address every facet. "I'm going to meet with these guys," Wedge said, "and let them know where I'm at and where I feel we're and what I see collectively as a ballclub and individually." What does Wedge see? "The effort is there," he said. "The work is there. Respecting the game and being a good teammate -- that's there. What's not translating is consistent performance from game time until that last pitch is thrown. Tonight was a great example of that."
|"We're losing collectively. You can't single out one facet of our game."

L'ISLE-VERTE, Que. — As a small Quebec village prepares to voice its collective grief after a fierce blaze at a seniors' residence that claimed many lives, Premier Pauline Marois arrived in the community to grieve with them.
Marois arrived in L'Isle-Verte, Que., on Sunday to see the results of tragic fire first-hand.
Authorities have said 10 people are confirmed dead while 22 others are unaccounted for and are believed to have died.
Marois cut short a trip to Europe to be in the small village of 1,500, where an afternoon mass is scheduled at the local church to allow the community to grieve.
The premier called the brutal blaze "unacceptable" and hopes that such a tragedy never occurs again. She told a news conference that everything is being done to provide support for those who survived the fire and to give closure to those still awaiting word on their loved ones.
She met with the mayor and had a look at the scene of Thursday's tragic fire.
The premier said her government is prepared to bring about any changes that are necessary to increase safety in residences, but she wants to see the results of the various investigations before rushing to judgment.
"First of all, we will wait for the inquiry because now, we don't have the results of this evaluation and examination," Marois said. "After that, we will see if there is some new rules to adopt."
Marois said a working committee has been in place for one year studying a number of issues, including whether mandatory sprinklers are necessary in these types of buildings. The tragic events that unfolded at Residence du Havre last week will push her government to act even more quickly.
"If they recommend to us to change the rules, to change the laws and implement (mandatory) sprinklers, we will do that," Marois said.
Quebec provincial police say they're gradually starting to search the scene for more victims after suspending their activities earlier Sunday due to bitter cold, poor visibility and blowing snow in the area.
Marois applauded the efforts of the police, firefighters and other first responders who have been working tirelessly since Thursday.
"For the people who are working on these situations, it's not easy to do that so I want to say thank you very much," she said.
Marois was expected to attend the mass, one that local priest Gilles Frigon says is also aimed at allowing first responders to express their suffering.
Frigon wants the celebration to be family-oriented and intimate with the emphasis on local residents and people from the surrounding area.
People are being invited to bring photos of those officially declared dead as well as of the 22 others who are feared to have lost their lives.
Frigon says the mass and the collective gathering is all about the grief of people affected by the loss of friends and relatives.
A more formal commemorative ceremony has been scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 1. That event will feature more dignitaries.
Frigon called Sunday's mass "a first step toward healing."
"It will be family-oriented and intimate, so that in this tragic event we're going through, we can find ourselves and rebuild our hearts," he said.
"It will be about the grief of people who are affected by the loss of their father, their mother, their grandfather, their grandmother, their great-grandfather and their great-grandmother."
How the blaze began is still unclear, with police saying it is far too early to conclude that a cigarette was the cause.
On Saturday, the coroner's office identified two victims: Juliette Saindon, 95, and Marie-Laureat Dube, 82. A third person has been identified and his or her name will be released on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross announced Saturday it has raised $200,000 for the community. The money will go to various things like eyeglasses, furniture and clothing.

Release Roddy White
After the Zimmerman trial verdict Roddy White went on Twitter and tweeted, "...the jury should go home and kill themselves..." After this statement I am trying to tell my 6 year old son why we will not root for the player who was his favorite. Not knowing what to tell him I enlisted the help of Mr. White through Twitter. He ignored me and before blocking me tweeted me personaly that "your not important" It was his misuse of the word "your" not mine. Anyhow with no remorse shown by any party involved I would like to call for his release or resignation. Thank you for your time. Mike Chrzanowski An unimportant fan according to Roddy White

All about oil?
EDITOR: It's obvious what's going on in Egypt: The CIA is creating Egypt's instability upon which rising oil prices can be blamed.
Sound far-fetched? Consider: The Egyptian military is the largest recipient of U.S. aid and isn't averse to taking part in keeping the world's economy humming.
It has a good excuse: throwing out a Muslim Brotherhood president. The Brotherhood has been banned from Egyptian politics for decades: It is anti-Israel and anti-West. Like the Taliban, al-Qaida and other Muslim conservatives, the Brotherhood has no place in a region struggling to fit into a singular global society which we are becoming and which is becoming "westernized."
Since much oil comes through the Suez Canal, what better excuse for rising oil prices than chaos in Egypt?
We don't have to think about peak oil (why else are we pushing fracking and mining tar sands, pushing electric cars and solar power?) that is already making economic recovery difficult.
Hats off to the CIA. It's always thinking of our welfare.

Food stamps and poverty
EDITOR: Ron Van De Kraats ("Food stamp statistics," Letters, Thursday) offered advice to a woman he apparently doesn't know regarding how she should spend her government-provided food benefits while decrying the "large" percentage of Americans (14.3 percent) receiving food assistance, a percentage actually below the federal poverty rate of 16 percent.
He believes the number who truly need support is lower and that many receiving support are simply choosing to take government handouts, thus cheating the system. Apparently he is unaware of certain facts: 91 percent of the food benefits go to people living below the poverty line. For a family of four, that's $23,550. Subtract from that number the average monthly rental for a one-bedroom apartment in Sonoma County ($1,000-plus), and that leaves not one heck of a lot for everything else. Consider also that average food benefit per person per meal is less than $1.50.

Biscotti has another delicious treat for its fans. The pint-sized TV camera that we told you about last year just announced MyBiscotti Cloud Services.
The idea is that Biscotti users can remotely tap into that camera that's tethered to the TV, to check in on kids, pets or just the property.
MyBiscotti allows users to peek in on all of their home's Biscotti TV cams, as well as check out time-lapsed videos. The new service can also deliver status info and even allows users to configure the system remotely.
Of course, you can also use the Biscotti TV Cam to make high-def calls from any HDTV or HDMI-compatible screen via WiFi. Biscotti offers free unlimited video calls to other Biscotti devices, as well as to any computer, iPhone, iPad or Android device.
"MyBiscotti Cloud Services continues the evolution of Biscotti's video calling solutions, significantly heightening functionality and adding more value for our users," said Dr. Matthew B. Shoemake, Biscotti's CEO and founder. "MyBiscotti Cloud Services ties the Biscotti TV Cam to the cloud, thereby, opening the door for innovative applications beyond calling, such as remote monitoring, video recording and more convenient system configuration and management. In the future, it will also allow us to add services like multi-party calling and video mail, helping to further the user experience."
Biscotti says that MyBiscotti Cloud Services are available to new and existing customers via the software version 2.0 or later. From there, you can access MyBiscotti Cloud Services through the company's website and then by clicking on MyBiscotti.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Enterprise Partners Venture Capital was founded in Southern California in 1985 and has maintained an investment focus on technology and life sciences companies.
Managing Directors
Managing Directors Carl Eibl and Drew Senyei form the core investing partnership
Limited Partners
Enterprise funds are raised from the country's most experienced institutional investors, typically university endowments, pension funds, fund-of-funds and insurance companies
Current Fund
Enterprise Partners is currently investing its sixth fund (EPVI) of $353M
Investment Approach
Historically the firm has invested at the seed or early stage in a company's development. Recently the firm has invested in companies at other stages of maturity including the acquisition and redirection of late stage companies. Enterprise most often serves as the lead investor in a deal. We like to work in close partnership with company management and take our board roles seriously. Occasionally the partnership will invest as little as $300K in a seed stage venture but our initial investment more typically ranges between $3 and $10M, with additional funds reserved for follow-on financings.
Where Enterprise Does, and Doesn't, Invest
Enterprise avoids investing in areas where we have little or no personal experience or industry contacts. For example, we have not invested in real estate development or retail businesses. In addition we prefer to invest in businesses based in California.
Enterprise evaluates thousands of business plans a year and invests in few of them. The companies are a diverse lot. Recently we have invested in a digital media company, an innovative fuel cell technology, a therapy for congestive heart failure and several wireless content and applications companies. What all these businesses have in common is a truly breakthrough approach to serving a large emerging market, along with a defensible business plan and a great management team.

Arizona has some serious problems.
The state ranks near the bottom in education, and when it comes to protecting vulnerable children, CBS5 recently reported that Arizona's Child Protective Services failed to investigate 6,500 child abuse cases.
State Rep. John Kavanaugh, R-Fountain Hills, is one of many lawmakers planning to push for more CPS funding when the legislature reconvenes next week.
However, the bill Kavanaugh is working on is already creating controversy.
Kavanaugh wants to shift more than $30 million a year away from First Things First and give it to CPS.
First Things First is the state's largest childhood development agency, which helps tens of thousands of Arizona children and families each year.
"Most of their programs are nice to have, not need to have," said Kavanaugh. "I'm not taking away from Arizona children - I'm setting priorities. I think Arizona children, who are in abusive households or households that are so dysfunctional they're neglecting them - they are the most vulnerable. It makes sense to prioritize their needs and give them more money."
First Things First Interim Director Sam Leyvas doesn't see it that way.
Leyvas agrees with Kavanaugh that CPS is in desperate need of funding for support and prevention programs that protect Arizona children, but he wonders what good can come from eliminating programs that basically do the same thing.
"In a lot of ways his proposal is effectively robbing Peter to pay Paul," said Leyvas. " Sixty percent of what we already do, funds the kind of programs Rep. Kavanaugh is talking about, so at the end of the day, there's no new money coming into the system where its desperately needed."
"We're already part of the solution," said Leyvas. "We want to continue to be part of the solution. I just don't think this proposal fixes what needs to be fixed in meaningful way."
Kavanaugh told CBS5 that the state could be facing another budget crisis and there is not any "extra" money in the general fund.
"What limited money we have, we need to prioritize, and abused and neglected children are a very high priority," said Kavanaugh. "The Arizona budget is a basket case. We are still spending more money each year than we take in."
Lawmakers would not be able to transfer the funds on their own.
The state legislature would have to place the proposal on the November ballot and let voters decide.
First Things First receives its funding from an 80-cent per pack tax on cigarettes that Arizona voters approved in 2006.
The agency works with approximately 100 groups across the state, providing everything from subsidized childcare to pre-K programs.
Last year, First Things First received $132 million from taxpayers.
Kavanaugh wants to see 25 percent of First Things First's budget transferred to CPS.

View From The Opposing Bench: Raptors Republic
Thumbnail: After suffering arguably their worst loss of 2012-13, the Celtics will have to quickly pick up the pieces. In this situation, it could be fortunate that Boston is flying home to complete a back-to-back. The Celtics are 8-8 this season on no rest, a respectable record for a team that is led by aged veterans. However, the more important record is 16-0. According to Celtics play-by-play radio broadcaster Sean Grande, the men in green have won 16 straight games at home on the second day of a back-to-back.
As evidenced by the Celtics' loss to the Bobcats on Tuesday, Paul Pierce is the team's most important player, especially since Rajon Rondo was lost for the season. The Truth has been forced to take on the role of rebounder and facilitator as well as scorer. Coming into Wednesday, Pierce has spent more than twice as much time on the floor as he has on the bench this season. In those 2,109 minutes played by the captain this season, the Celtics are six points better per 100 possessions than they are with him off the court.
Pierce's one-game absence seemed to specifically hurt Kevin Garnett's offense. Garnett had a season-low five points on Tuesday, which marked just the second time in Garnett's career that he scored five or fewer points on at least 10 field goal attempts. With Pierce's returns to the lineup, Garnett and the Celtics will most likely play much better than they did in Charlotte. There are also some milestones in reach for Pierce and Garnett. Pierce is seven free throws made away from tying Allen Iverson for the 10th-most free throws made in NBA history. In addition, Garnett is four points away from passing Jerry West for the 15th-most points scored, and Pierce is 10 points away from moving into sole possession of 20th on that same list.
Prediction: Pierce and Garnett move up the leaderboards as the Truth's return ignites the Celtics' 17th consecutive home victory on the second day of a back-to-back.

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher and killed himself this morning after he fatally shot his girlfriend Saturday morning.
Belcher, 25, from West Babylon, NY, shot himself in front of head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli outside of Arrowhead Stadium, according to police.
Pioli and Crennel confronted Belcher in the stadium's parking lot and while they were talking to him, he walked in the opposite direction and shot himself in the head, according to local television station.
Belcher thanked Pioli and Crennel for all they had done for him before he turned the gun on himself, according to police spokesman Darin Snapp.
Authorities say they received a call around 7:50 a.m. from a woman who said her daughter had been shot multiple times at a home on Crysler Avenue, about five miles away from Arrowhead Stadium.
Snapp said police arrived and found the victim, 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins with multiple gunshot wounds. Perkins was taken to a local hospital, where she died a short time later, according to Snapp.
Police say they received a desperate call from the Chiefs' practice facility at around 8:10 am.
Snapp said Belcher was "holding a gun to his head" as he stood in front of the front doors of the practice facility.
"And there were Pioli and Crennel and another coach or employee was standing outside and appeared to be talking to him. It appeared they were talking to the suspect," Snapp said.
"The suspect began to walk in the opposite direction of the coaches and the officers and that's when they heard the gunshot. It appears he took his own life," said Snapp.
Belcher was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police said the coaches felt they were never endangered. The stadium has been in lockdown since about 8:00 a.m.
According to police, Perkins' mother said Belcher and his girlfriend had recently been arguing. Belcher and Perkins recently had a baby girl, Zoey, born on September 11.
Belcher starred for West Babylon High School where he led them to an undefeated regular season in 2004. He was also a three-time All-American as a high school wrestler.
He went on to play for the University of Maine where he was named the 2008 CAA Conference defensive player of the year and graduated with a degree in child development and family relations.
The 6-foot-2, 228-pound linebacker was in his fourth season with the Chiefs — his third as a full-time starter after joining the squad as an undrafted free agent.
Belcher started 10 of the 11 games he played this season for the Chiefs, making 38 tackles, and appeared in all 16 games each of his previous three seasons, recording 257 tackles and one sack in his career.

Loaded gun found in airport luggage
Published On: Jun 03 2013 04:59:36 PM CDT
A gun discovered in carry-on luggage going through security at the Tri-Cities Regional Airport led to charges on Sunday.
61-year-old Lee R. Osborne is charged with possession of handgun prohibited. We've learned authorities found the gun Sunday morning around 7:45.
Airport police were alerted after a loaded .357 revolver was found in his bag.
We do not know where Osborne is from at this time.
Passengers are permitted to travel with firearms in checked baggage if they are properly packaged and declared.
Two guns were found at checkpoints last year at Tri-Cities Regional Airport.

Blues given injury boost as duo return
10:57am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
MARVIN McCoy and Matt McClure have both returned to full training after injury - while five more could be back by next weekend.
Antigua and Barbuda international McCoy has missed the entire league campaign after breaking his fibula and ankle in the Capital One Cup tie with Watford in August.
He joined in the pre-match warm up with team mates on Saturday and the club said today he is now back in full training.
McClure has also returned from a hamstring injury, while defender Danny Foster could be back on Thursday.
Manager Gareth Ainsworth is also hoping captain Gary Doherty (back), Matt Spring (calf), Jo Kuffour (ankle) and Anthony Stewart (thigh) will all return to training within the next 10 days.
But there's still frustration for Matt Bloomfield, with the midfielder remaining on the sidelines as he struggles to shake off a groin injury.

DVDs:Animals and Nature:Animals and Wildlife:The Whale that Ate Jaws DVD Exclusive
As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Off the coast of San Francisco, an unexpected killing challenged the great white shark's supremacy as the ultimate predator when one became prey to a killer whale. Whale-watchers witnessed a stunning act of nature as a killer whale rose to the water's surface with a great white in its mouth and held it there for 15 minutes. Even more amazing, biologist Peter Pyle was nearby and able to get underwater footage of two whales feeding on the shark. They ate the liver and then departed the scene, leaving the rest to the birds. The incident raised questions, such as how did the killer whale take the huge shark without a struggle? And why did the whales only eat the shark's liver?

|6' 8"/ 320 lbs.
|Indianapolis, IN
|Boston College
|Years played
|2006, 2nd round, 27th pick by Buccaneers
Redskins sign WR Furrey; release four
The Redskins made a series of roster moves Wednesday, most notably signing WR Mike Furrey.
Redskins face major changes on special teams
Nearly as drastic as the changes on offense and defense this offseason has been the difference in special-teams personnel.
Report: Redskins' Moss linked to HGH doctor
Redskins WR Santana Moss has been named as one of several professional athletes with ties to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who has been charged with smuggling and distributing human growth hormone, according to various published reports.
Redskins sign DL Holliday
The Redskins announced Monday that they have signed free-agent DL Vonnie Holliday, who played in all 16 games with the Broncos last season.
Orakpo likely to increase sack total
According to "Whispers," OLB Brian Orakpo's role in Redskins coordinator Jim Haslett's new defense could enable him to significantly improve on his 11-sack rookie season.
Redskins WR Moss sidelined after knee surgery
A report from the Washington Post says that Redskins WR Santana Moss had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this offseason and will be sidelined until June.
Redskins release Montgomery, Mitchell, three others
The Redskins released five players Monday, including DL Anthony Montgomery, WRs Marko Mitchell and James Robinson and RBs Anthony Alridge and P.J. Hill.
Galloway, Wade not crucial Redskins additions
The Redskins have been active in free agency, and signing WRs Joey Galloway and Bobby Wade is a good example of the new approach.
Redskins sign two veteran wide receivers
The Redskins announced Thursday that they have signed free-agent WRs Joey Galloway and Bobby Wade.
Redskins sign DE Scott
The Redskins have signed free-agent DE Darrion Scott, who played for Jim Haslett in the UFL.
2010 draft choices by team: Redskins
Here are the players who were chosen by the Washington Redskins in the 2010 NFL draft.
Redskins trade QB Campbell to Raiders
The Redskins sent QB Jason Campbell to the Raiders for a 2012 fourth-round pick, reports indicate.
Williams fits what Shanahan wants
OT Trent Williams is a classic fit for a Mike Shanahan zone offense with the feet and the lateral ability to move well to be a perfect fit in this kind of system. But does he want to be great?
Redskins beef up D-line with Carriker, Green
While the status of disgruntled DT Albert Haynesworth remains in limbo, the Redskins have started to stockpile DL help.
Rams trade Carriker to Redskins, sign RFA Ryan
The Rams remained busy on the DT front Tuesday, trading former first-round draft pick Adam Carriker to the Redskins and signing starting DT Clifton Ryan to a one-year tender offer.
The Washington Redskins have signed Trueblood, giving the team another inexpensive contender for the vacant right tackle position.||||||| Trueblood has started 84 games over seven NFL seasons, all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He lost his starting job after one game last year and finished the season on injured reserve. Tyler Polumbus was the starter at right tackle last year for the Redskins, but he is an unrestricted free agent.
Trueblood was placed on IR with a shoulder injury.||||||| Trueblood appeared in nine games after losing the starting right tackle job during training camp.
Trueblood was inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants because of an ankle injury||||||| Demar Dotson replaced him.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached deals to re-sign free agent guard Davin Joseph and tackle Jeremy Trueblood on Friday.||||||| Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris is excited that the team is able to keep the offensive line intact.
A prosecutor says Trueblood won't face charges after spending a night in jail following a disturbance at a central Indiana convenience store.||||||| The 27-year-old Trueblood was arrested on a preliminary charge of public intoxication after a 911 caller reported trouble inside the Greenfield store Tuesday night. A prosecutor said Wednesday that Trueblood, an Indianapolis native, had called his mother for a ride after he and two friends drank too much while golfing. Dobbins says Trueblood didn't leave the car until after the officer stopped it a few blocks away and threatened to shock him with a stun gun.

Now, this doesn't mean employers have carte blanche to exploit salaried workers to avoid paying overtime or hiring seasonal help. Salaried employees doing hourly wage work over an extended period might qualify for overtime pay for that period, according to employment lawyer Sharon Snyder, of the Ober Kaler national law firm. But they likely would have to be willing and able to fight for it.
For now, follow the lead of the many public safety, military and service industry professionals who give up holidays with their loved ones so we can enjoy ours: Celebrate when and wherever the fates allow. Then, focus on ensuring that next year, these troubles — and this job — will be out of sight.

Album Rating: 3.5Pretty decent review, doesn't flow that well though at parts.
Album's cool but not as good as Fury and The Last Kind Words were. I'll be putting up my review during next week.
Album Rating: 3.0well its only my second, im still trying to find what works. Thanks for your imput though, keep the help coming.
Album Rating: 2.5^^ Good to hear Metalstyles, I shall wait for your verdict before I decide to buy it, but Dead to Rights kicked ass. Wasn't a huge fan of Coldblooded or Bring the fight
Album Rating: 3.5@IpodMastery
It's just that your sentence structure is awkward at times.
Example 1: However many in the metal community will feel this is a good move in the right direction for DevilDriver.Why not just say: However, many metalheads will find that Beast is a move in the right direction for DevilDriver.
Example 2: Writing off this album as poor would be completely un-truthful and unfair to both the band and its listeners, and there are stand-out tracks including album opener 'Dead To Rights'. Be more straightforward and try to sound as confident and assuring as possible. For example: The album is by no means bad though, having a bunch of stand out tracks, such as the opener "Dead To Rights".
Example 3: The tracks on 'Beast' sure are the brutal sound of DevilDriver but the tracks musically start to sound re-cycled and the lyrics almost overly repetitive.Sentences like these are just really awkward to read. Proofreading is your friend, dude, as this sentence, for example, is not hard to tidy up at all: The tracks on Beast sure are brutal, as common for DevilDriver, but some of them sound musically recycled and Dez's lyrics are overly repetitive.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that your ideas are pretty good, but your wording needs a lot of work. Also, bigger paragraphs dude. One sentence does not work as a paragraph, unless it's like an introductionary sentence or something, and even then it better be a damn good one.
Basically, it's a great album, as my 3.5 implies, but it's not as good as Fury or The Last Kind Words, like I already said. But I won't make a spoiler, nor a trailer for my review, I shall explain it all next week haha.
However many in the metal community will feel this is a good move in the right direction for DevilDriver.
Writing off this album as poor would be completely un-truthful and unfair to both the band and its listeners, and there are stand-out tracks including album opener 'Dead To Rights'.

I did try to write this in a different style to my first one, to see if it feels any better, but i think i like the writing in the RRAll-Stars style better.
Still, Thanks heaps.

Recovering From Upper Hamstring Tendon Injuries
What should you tell your students to do if they have an injured upper hamstring tendon? The recovery program below is based on the physiology of healing and the principles of yoga. It has three stages, corresponding to the three phases of the healing process: 1. Rest during the inflammation phase (72 hours). 2. Align during the repair phase (6 weeks). 3. Strengthen and lengthen during the remodeling phase (up to a year or more).
Stage 1: Rest. For 72 hours after the initial injury, the student should rest the area completely. This gives the body time to remove damaged tissue and bring in cells that will produce new capillaries and collagen. The student should not attempt any stretching or strengthening activities and should not apply heat. To prevent excessive inflammation and swelling, apply ice (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off) as often as is practical, compress the upper thigh just below the sitting bone (using an elastic sleeve), and elevate the pelvis above the heart.
Stage 2: Align. Over the next six weeks, very gently align the newly forming connective tissue fibers. Do this by gradually introducing modified asanas (see Asanas for Hamstring Recovery below) that provide micro-strengthening actions with the hamstring muscles in the neutral, slightly shortened, and slightly lengthened positions. These asanas should apply just enough tension at just the right angle to induce the healing tendon to grow strong and flexible in the desired direction. Practice with subtlety. Do not perform the asanas too vigorously or stretch too far, because this can damage the delicate molecular/cellular matrix that is being created. If pain increases during this stage, back off and start over with Stage 1.
Stage 3: Strengthen and Lengthen. Over the next year or more, very gradually strengthen, then stretch, the injured hamstring tendon. As in Stage 2, practice asanas that contract the hamstrings against resistance in the neutral, shortened, and lengthened positions (see Asanas for Hamstring Recovery). Start out where Stage 2 left off, then gradually increase the load and length demands on the muscles and tendons. Done properly, this systematically adds high-quality, correctly aligned collagen fibers to the injured area. Back off if pain increases. One of the key benefits of this program is that it strengthens the hamstrings not only while short, but also while in progressively longer positions, for several months before introducing full stretching postures.
Additional Tips
Asanas for Hamstring Recovery
Stage 1: First 72 Hours
Purpose: To Elevate the pelvis and rest the hamstrings.
Supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (supported Bound Bridge Pose)
Place two bolsters (or long folded blankets) end to end. To enter the pose, first sit in the middle of one bolster, then turn your body to align your legs over the other bolster and lie back so your upper back drapes over the end of the first bolster. Lengthen your lower back, place your shoulders and head on the floor, and extend your legs straight. Do not enter the pose starting with your pelvis on the floor, because lifting it up onto the bolster would require a strong hamstring contraction. Also, take care not to stress the hamstrings while adjusting position or exiting the pose. Hold the posture for 10 minutes or more (but exit sooner if it causes discomfort). Do this pose during the first 72 hours after an injury. It's OK to repeat it several times a day, and to continue to practice it in Stages 2 and 3.
Stage 2: Next Six Weeks
Purpose: To gently pull the delicate, new collagen fibers of the healing tendon into alignment without tearing them.
The first time you try each asana in this sequence, do it just once, with the mildest possible muscle contraction, and hold it only briefly. If it does not cause pain, build up over several days to three repetitions, holding the pose for 30 seconds each time. Start with extremely mild muscle contractions, and build force gradually until you achieve moderate contraction strength at the end of six weeks. Never contract or stretch with great force in Stage 2. It may also be helpful to apply ice after your asana session.
To maintain standard alignment, point your knees straight ahead (no internal or external rotation of thighs) and align your feet with your knees (no internal or external rotation of shins at knee joint). You may also wish to try variations in some cases to focus strength and stretch on particular parts of the hamstring tendons.!--page-->

John Ensign on War & Peace
Republican Jr Senator (NV)
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. LEVIN: "The amendment requires redeployment be completed within 9 months. At that point, funding for the war would be ended, with four narrow exceptions:"
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. McCAIN: "This year, after nearly 4 years of mismanaged war, our military has made significant gains under the so-called surge. Overall violence in Iraq has fallen to its lowest level since [2003]. Improvised explosive device blasts now occur at a rate lower than at any point since September 2004.
"Al-Qaida's leadership knows which side is winning in Iraq. It may not be known in some parts of America and in this body, but al-Qaida knows. We are succeeding under the new strategy.
"Given these realities, some proponents of precipitous withdrawal from Iraq have shifted their focus. While conceding, finally, that there have been dramatic security gains, they have begun seizing on the lackluster performance of the Iraqi Government to insist that we should abandon the successful strategy and withdraw U.S. forces. This would be a terrible mistake."
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. LIEBERMAN: Some of our colleagues thought the Sense of the Senate may have opened the door to some kind of military action against Iran [so we removed some text]. That is not our intention. In fact, our intention is to increase the economic pressure on Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps so that we will never have to consider the use of the military to stop them from what they are doing to kill our soldiers.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BIDEN. I will oppose the Kyl-Lieberman amendment for one simple reason: this administration cannot be trusted. I am very concerned about the evidence that suggests that Iran is engaged in destabilizing activities inside Iraq. Arguably, if we had a different President who abided by the meaning and intent of laws we pass, I might support this amendment. I fear, however, that this President might use the designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity as a pretext to use force against Iran as he sees fit. [The same was done with the Senate resolution on Iraq in 2002]. Given this President's actions and misuse of authority, I cannot support the amendment.
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
Our troops are caught in the midst of a civil war. The administration has begun to escalate this war with 21,000 more troops. This idea is not a new one. During this war, four previous surges have all failed. It is time for a different direction. It is time for a drawdown of our troops.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
This resolution calls for imposing an artificial timeline to withdraw our troops from Iraq, regardless of the conditions on the ground or the consequences of defeat; a defeat that will surely be added to what is unfortunately a growing list of American humiliations. This legislation would hobble American commanders in the field and substantially endanger America's strategic objective of a unified federal democratic Iraq that can govern, defend, and sustain itself and be an ally in the war against Islamic fascism. The unintended consequence of this resolution is to bring to reality Osama bin Laden's vision for Iraq; that after 4 years of fighting in Iraq the US Congress loses its will to fight. If we leave Iraq before the job is done, as surely as night follows day, the terrorists will follow us home. Osama bin Laden has openly said: America does not have the stomach to stay in the fight. He is a fanatic. He is an Islamic fascist. He is determined to destroy us and our way of life.
A bill to strengthen sanctions against the Government of Syria, to enhance multilateral commitment to address the Government of Syria's threatening policies, to establish a program to support a transition to a democratically-elected government in Syria.
Whereas President Ahmadinejad stated on June 3, 2007, that 'With God's help, the countdown button for the destruction of the Zionist regime has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine.... By God's will, we will witness the destruction of this regime in the near future';

I know everyone has to see this. Is it just me? Our play calling is horrid. I am nausious stiil. 3rd and 2 shotgun formations, delay of game penalties, 1st and goal from the 5 fade routes. Football is a simple game. It's only compicated if you make it that way. By the way, where are the slant routes, and drags over the middle. Why do we keep throwing to the flats for a gain of 1 yard?. Why isn't Frank Gore being utilized out of the backfield?
All these are questions that are burned on my sleeve. Is it all on our o-line, Aex Smith, our WRs, or is it the football guru upstairs known as Greg Roman? I say yes to the latter. On that note, we will be in this situation a lot more in the foreseeable future. Offensively frustrated. We have one of the most offensively talented teams ever, and yet we can't seem to mustur a first down.
When you come out in shotgun, or empty backfied it makes things much easier for the opposing defense to detect, PASS,PASS,PASS. Why do we continue to give defenses the upper hand in that regard? Make them play the run too. we have one of the best run games in the league. That alone is an advantage when it comes to play calling.
I hope the team addresses these issues in the upcoming weeks. Our o-line has given up way too many sacks as of late. We reverted back to our old o-line. Granted, Joe Staley was injured. Either way we have given up too many sacks. What happened to the three step drops we had going early on?
I don't think Greg Roman knows a whole lot about football. It looks like he does rock,paper, scissors wth himself to see what play to call.Like the 3rd and 2 wildcat he called last week against the Rams. Really cute. Just line up the men, and move the chains already! The fly sweep is a beautiful play htat even set up the Frank Gore 50 yard TD run yesterday. But we seem to make things harder than they shoud be with sub-par play calling. I appreciate all the positives Roman has brought to our team, but his situational calls are questionble. Delanie Walker, and Vernon Davis should be the most feared duo in the NFL. I even see Vernon getting a bit hot underthe collar lately.

It is the worst start of the team in top flight in 16 years. The last time we had a worse start was 1994 - 1995 season. Manchester United was the defending champs and Andy Cole was signed midway of the season for a then record of £7M. We did not have a win in the first 12 games. The season is still young but if we continue this landslide, relegation is a very real possibility.
Forget about January, we need to fix this internally right now. So let's identify our problems. From a statistic point of view, we have played 5 games, 0 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties for a whooping 2 points. Our goal difference is -2. The losses that we have suffered were against Blackburn, Villa and Newcastle. We tied with Wolves and Man United. Of all the losses that we have, only the Villa match should be competitive. Blackburn and Newcastle, though not cake walks, are teams that we should beat. We are not scoring enough goals, and our defence, whilst still solid, are at times suspect.
But there are way more problems that lie underneath the surface.
Saha is injured (what else is new), Yakubu isn't in form and Beckford is, well, Beckford. The way that we play relies on having someone up top who can hold up the ball and battle in the air. Beckford does not fit the description. Even though he had a decent record at Leeds, we have seen time and again that success for attackers hardly translates automatically in top flight. As for depth, we have to put Fellaini and Cahill up front. Enough said.
Sorely missing Phil in the first games. Defensively, Phil is still better than other players who had been deployed there in his absence. Fellaini runs around with no energy, Heitinga is a much better center back than an anchor, Rodwell is still very green. Phil might just be the sparkplug to turn this woeful form around.
Width is lacking on the right side. Baines and Pineaar are fostering a decent partnership on the left side but offence from the right in virtually non existent. Hibbert is a good defender but his crosses are rubbish. I think Coleman should take over the spot, or even start as a winger? Arteta needs someone with poise and strength to play behind him. Maybe that is the reason why Heitinga has been slotted in there. It is not working however. Arteta is someone that I think would play better on the wing. He can still cut in to create room for the full back to make overlaps on the flank. And he needs to improve on his deadballs, which have been subpar all season.
Distin should not start. Even though he has decent ball playing skills and height, he is slowfooted and has been exposed quite a bit this season. Heitinga and Jagielka should be good enough, unless we are facing Peter Crouch or Zigic. Both are current internationals and they have pace and good positioning. Baines has been good but Hibbert can be substituted with Coleman. Coleman is really promising and should be given an extended run.
He is fine.
Well not everything is gloomy. Even if we do go on a bad run, we have enough quality to avoid relegation. Just like 94-95. That was the year I fell in love with Everton and yeah they beat Manchester United that year to win their last trophy to date.

Wilmette police arrested a Chicago man in an undercover investigation for planning to sell drugs to New Trier students, police said.
Andrew Fisher, 23, of Chicago is being charged with unlawful possession with the intent to deliver controlled substances within 1,000 feet of a public park, unlawful possession with the intent to deliver cannabis and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Wilmette Police reports.
"Wilmette detectives conducted an investigation on a tip that [Fisher] was selling drugs to local juveniles," Wilmette Police Chief Brian King said. "Andrew Fisher came off the 4th and Linden 'el' train to conduct a drug transaction and was subsequently arrested."
The police report states that Wilmette officers were in contact with Fisher and he agreed to deliver MDMA, also known as ecstacy, and cannabis to an undercover officer.
Fisher was held in the Wilmette Police lock-up overnight prior to being transported to bond court. His court date is set for Feb. 21 in Skokie.

text: 156 pages This book collects images from Italian walls that I have been photographing since 2005. The images are an "idealized" documentation of Italy's street art only because I have edited them, to look as they might have looked on the first day they were painted as murals. They involve mostly the personal "tags" (names) of individual artists. They show a raw power of presentation and brilliance of color in works that are otherwise anonymous and destined to either decompose or be covered up by other muralists very soon.

Why calibrate your new HDTV?
We've all seen those movies and TV shows with a stylized "designer" look: new movies made to look old with sepia overtones or artificial film grain, the exaggerated color of CSI: Miami, colored lighting designed to give a subjective "feel" to a scene... It's what the director intended; it's part of the art of television and film.
It seems that television manufacturers have adapted similar techniques, but for very different reasons. I routinely encounter TVs with odd performance characteristics that are created in an effort to stand out from the crowd, to have brand recognition, or to make a quick and distinctive first impression. Sometimes they are disguised as a feature, as when a manufacturer boasts that their set delivers 25% deeper color saturation than what the standard calls for, though other times they're just integrated into the picture without fanfare. Too often, it's not a race to be better, but a race to be different.
Calibration seeks to neutralize these picture editorializations, staying true to what the director intended instead of the PR department's idea of what will make a TV stand out to the masses. With the stylized look stripped away, the beauty of a natural, accurate image can shine through. There are good reasons we have video standards, but those reasons get put on the back burner in an effort to mass produce TVs.
In addition, even if an attempt were made to produce a truly accurate display, manufacturing tolerances limit how well that can be accomplished without crippling price increases. Thankfully, there has been a move in recent years to make calibration controls more thorough and accessible, so achieving a more accurate and ultimately satisfying image is nearly always possible.
"It's not turning the knob; it's knowing which knob to turn"
A decade ago, calibrating a TV meant getting into the secret, cryptic, and dangerous service menu. Recently those formerly guarded adjustments have been showing up in regular picture menus, making them accessible to everyone. So why pay a pro to come out and adjust your TV when the controls needed are often there for anyone to adjust?
Calibration is both science and art: taking objective measurements, using them to align the picture to established standards, and doing it all in a way that compliments the viewing environment and the viewer's tastes. The scientific side demands sophisticated and accurate test equipment; and the artistic side requires experience, a good eye, and sensitivity to customer's needs and desires. In addition, there are compromises and judgment calls that cannot always be decided on a purely scientific basis. It's not a matter of "adjust color control to change brilliance of picture color," or "adjust gamma control for more pleasing brightness characteristics." It's using a meter to measure just how your display reproduces the incoming signal, and making corrections necessary for the best, most accurate, and ultimately enjoyable picture possible.
