MADISON (WKOW) -- The University of Wisconsin-Madison officially introduced Gary Andersen as the Badgers' new head football coach during a Friday morning news conference.
Andersen takes over for Bret Bielema, who left Wisconsin for the head coaching job at Arkansas earlier this month.
Athletic Director and former Badgers football coach Barry Alvarez is coaching the team in the Rose Bowl against Stanford, and Andersen said he will be a "fly on the wall" during Rose Bowl preparations and at the game.
"These kids need to go win a Rose Bowl. The last thing they need for me is to hang around Coach Alvarez," Andersen said.
Alvarez says he feels confident the former Utah State coach is a good fit for Wisconsin, saying "All the things he(Andersen) believes in I believe in."
Alvarez also praised Andersen for fielding physical, well-coached defenses at his last job as head coach at Utah State, and said while he met face-to-face with three candidates he only offered the job to Andersen.
Andersen said he knew right away he would take the job. He stated during the news conference his belief that Wisconsin is considered a top 20 college football program and has all the tools needed to compete on the recruiting trail and football field.
He answered questions about his offensive and defensive coaching philosophies, as well as his priorities for recruiting and building relationships with the team's returning players.

When I was growing up, drive-in movies were evil. Preachers called them passion pits. Nuns said that girls who went to drive-ins with boys got bad reputations.
They also got a whole lot of dates.
The more adults protested, the more fascinating drive-ins seemed.
In fact, I owe my career to the local drive-in movie.
Drive-ins were big outdoor movie theaters with giant movie screens. You paid about a dollar a carload eight or ten kids crammed in an airless car. Then you pulled up to a speaker, which hung on the edge of your rolled-down window.
This was hot stuff. Very hot, especially in August in St. Louis. Imagine sitting in an un-air-conditioned car for hours on a summer night. You can see why drive-ins died.
The best part, sometimes better than the movie, was the trip to the concession stand for cold soda, popcorn and hot dogs.
We lived in St. Ann in the 1950s, across from the main screen of the local drive-in movie. I could see it from my room. I slept in the top bunk, which gave me a clear view of the movie screen. I couldnt hear a word, but I could see the story in Technicolor actresses with six-foot lips smooching leading men. Mushy stuff.
I made up my own stories. Every night, I watched the soundless movies and wrote my own scripts.
Were my stories better than the actual movies?
I doubt it. They always put me to sleep.

Arizona Wildcats
UA alum Foles breaks hand, Vick likely to start
PHILADELPHIA (AP) � Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles has a broken right hand, and coach Andy Reid said Michael Vick will likely start against the New York Giants in Sunday's season finale.
Reid said Monday that Foles broke his throwing hand in the second quarter of a 27-20 loss to Washington, but returned to the game after X-rays at the stadium were negative.
Vick hasn't played since suffering a concussion during a loss to the Cowboys on Nov. 11. He was recently cleared to return.
"There's a pretty good chance Michael will be the starter," Reid said. "That's what we're looking at right now. That's the direction I'm going as we speak right now."
The Eagles (4-11) went 1-5 with the 23-year-old Foles as the starter.
"I banged it up a little in the first half," he said. "It didn't affect my throwing at all."
An MRI taken on Monday revealed a hairline fracture, Reid said.
Reid added because it's a non-displaced fracture, Foles should be 100 percent in about three weeks.
"He was in quite a little bit of pain," Reid said of Foles, who threw for 345 yards. "I know at one point he was having a tough time squeezing the ball when we went into halftime. He's a tough kid and never said a word about it. . He pushed himself through and did a good job."
Foles, a third-round pick out of Arizona, completed 60.8 percent of his passes for an Eagles rookie record 1,699 yards, with six touchdowns and five interceptions in seven games following Vick's injury.
"It's frustrating because I'm hard on myself and I want to win, but I'm going to keep working hard, and I know my teammates are, too," Foles said after Sunday's loss. "We're going to keep sticking together. It's been a tough year."
With Reid's status as head coach uncertain, it's impossible to determine whether Foles will get an opportunity with the Eagles next year. But Reid said he was impressed with what he saw over the past two months from Foles.
"I think he's a winning quarterback or he's a quarterback that gives your team an opportunity to win," Reid said. "I think you're seeing him in a unique situation where he comes in later in the season. You look at the young quarterbacks who've had an opportunity to come up through and they've had time here to grow.
"It wasn't really pretty when they first began and it continued to pick up as they got games under their belts. Nick got thrown in when other teams were working to their peaks. He was thrown in in that situation.
"He has enough skill and ability to play."
The Eagles were 3-6 in Vick's nine starts this year. Vick, in his fourth season with Philadelphia, completed 58.5 percent of his passes for 2,165 yards with 11 TDs and nine interceptions before his injury.
Vick was not in uniform Sunday. Veteran Trent Edwards served as Foles' backup, and he'll be Vick's backup against the Giants. Edwards has not thrown a pass this year.
"You're talking about a pretty good quarterback here that has a lot of experience," Reid said of Vick. "I think he'll be excited to be out there and I think he'll do a good job."
The Giants go into the game with faint playoff hopes. They need a win over the Eagles and losses by Minnesota, Chicago and Dallas to reach the postseason.

Four hundred runners, helping three different charities, and it started at the Bay County Court House early Saturday morning.
It was the inaugural running of the "Haul for Heroes" 5-k run. The race was postponed back on July 16th due to rain.
That was the date originally chosen to honor Carter Hess a local serviceman injured while serving in Afghanistan.
Saturday's event was organized by Carter's sister, Allison, to raise awareness of our wounded heroes.
"These solders give more than I could ever give and some people won't be willing to give I think the recovery is long and the support they need is endless and the more that we can do for them the better, I don't think that we can give back what they deserve," says Hess.
"Haul for Heroes" 5-k run raised $20,000 dollars for the Fisher House Foundation, K-9s for Warriors, and Warrior Beach Retreat Charities.

The Dolphins had a big scare in their final preseason game Thursday night when OLT Jake Long got hurt. Long should be ready for Week One, but with ORT Vernon Carey nursing an injured calf, the Dolphins added depth at tackle by trading for Cowboys OT Pat McQuistan, according to PFW's Dolphins correspondent Omar Kelly.
The Dolphins likely sent a seventh-round pick to the Cowboys for McQuistan, a five-year veteran. Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano coached McQuistan when he was the Cowboys' offensive line coach.
McQuistan played in just seven games in 2009 but played in all 16 games the two previous years. He has never started a game in the NFL, but he is more experienced than the backups the Dolphins had.
With top backup Nate Garner landing on injured reserve with a broken left foot, Lydon Murtha and Andrew Gardner were set to be the backup tackles. The two have played in two NFL games combined.

Top-seeded Bluefield made up for the disappointment of losing to Tug Valley in last year's championship game. Bluefield (25-3) went ahead to stay midway through the first quarter and used a 17-7 run, including nine points by Eades, to finish the first half and lead 36-23 at halftime. Bluefield won the third championship in school history, adding to titles in 1995 and 1996. Corey Coppola and Lykel Collier each added 12 points for Bluefield, which shot 50 percent (24 of 48) from the floor. Jarin Hilson scored 11 points and Austin Norman had 10 for second-seeded Fairmont Senior (21-7). Fairmont Senior was held to its lowest point total of the season.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

What is the difference between zimbra and sun java communication suite.
with Regards,
That's a rather pointless question to answer when we don't know anything about your hardware, your requirements, your skill level, your intended deployment, whether you're talking about the Open Source Version or the Network Edition version etc. There's plenty of documentation and information on the Zimbra and Sun websites for you to make a comparison based on your own knowledge.

Wow, bill, that was awesome! You really humbled that prospective user for mentioning the competition. Bet he won't be coming back. Anyone care to comment on the OP's question on a factual basis? Have we come up with an actual feature comparison for this?

Freeze warnings were issued for this morning for counties along the Mississippi River north of I-20. The concern for dangerously low temps also leaned into the north central and delta region of the state.
The following counties were placed under the warning with concerns for freezing affecting outdoor plant life - Yazoo, Warren,Issaquena,Humphreys, Holmes, Leflore and Sunflower and further north.
Sunshine today will thaw all counties out, giving us a quick rise in temps into the 70s. Temps will still stay slightly below the norm for this time of the year. Winds will be north at 5-10 mph. Early wind chills near freezing and overnight nearly the same.
Saturday and Sunday expect more sunshine and warmer weather with a few clouds mixed in. The additional moisture will enhance the 'warmer feel' we will have over the weekend. And temps will rise into the 80s by next week with a better chance of rain.

Week 5
Hello again!
This is my last blog! The article I want to talk about today is "How Loud Should the Whistle-Blower Be?", and in this article there are some pretty unethical questions. In the opening statements of this article there is a dilemma that a president of a company was embezzleing $50,000 and her accountants discovered this. Her immediate supervisors came to her and asked her to resign or get terminated. She chose to resign peacfully to protect her name. The person within this company that discovered the wrongful action and reported it wasnt satisfied with her boss's supervisors and she wanted to call the police and get her charged with a higher penalty. She felt that her boss was getting away with stealing 50k and that isnt how it should work. The boss is also still allowed to be apart of the board she belongs to, and she isnt losing her licenses.
Now this is unfair because the boss of this company should have been hung out to dry, but because the board didnt want bad publicity they chose to let her "get away" with the crime. Any other person would have been crucified. Now the woman who discovered the wrong doing wanted to pursue correct punishments but she probably can't for fear of losing her job. This to me seems unfair and you should feel the same. If you see something wrong and you know that it is wrong, you should be able to report it and not have any negative reactions. This all depends on the sevarity of the issue and proof of being guilty. The probelm comes down to having the support needed to follow through. Meaning, her boss's should have supported her and took the necessary charge to help get the boss's punishment corrected.
Everyone has been in a situation where someone did something wrong but can't say anything because it will be a negative impact for them aswell. I am not saying this is right but, thats how it goes. Either way, this is a huge grey area and I personaly wish there were an easy solution for the problem.

Paid the premium on this $4.50 for the single, at the House of 1,000 beers.
A - Nice 5 months old and no sediment! Head is a fairly sweet 1/3 inch of deep mocha greatness. Beer itself is rather thick with a deep level of blackness.
S - The honey adds another level of dry yet fairly sweet, underneath this is some mocha, chocolate malty goodness, and roast. Smells like a balanced RIS.
T - Pretty good the taste is chalky roasts, some chocolate malt, and a finish of dry faded honey. Hoppy bitter edge is kind of distracting and adds more of a dry feeling to the honey.
M - A touch lighter than typical RIS its medium bodied, fairly creamy yet kind of thin.
Overall not having a honey stout this one is fairly tasty. Nothing I am going to run out and get again (and at almost 5 bucks a pop I shall not) but worth trying once.

Pours a sexy dark brown, with a creamy light tan topping. Lots of lacing, and overall looks the part of a stout. In the aroma, some roast, honey, coffee and vanilla. In the flavor, dark malts, tempered sweetness and a small cinnamon like spice. Coffee and honey come out a bit more in the aftertaste. Full bodied, creamy, very smooth feel. Overall this was quite nice. I could spend time drinking a few of these, but it appears this was a limited release.

The honey really comes on heavy at first here. It seems to tone down and a roasted, mildly sweet thing takes over. Don't get much chocolate on here really, but there is a cocoa tone mildly present. A decent beer; though not showing a whole lot of balance. Who cares though, right? We should all just be glad the world has not ended!

3.64/5 rDev +0.6%
A - black with a soft, thick, brown head that has decent retention
S - sweet honey, some faint roasted malts, some faint cocoa
T - honey, roasted malts, cocoa nibs, creamy, some faint alcohol, some faint citrus
M - medium to full bodied, warm, well carbonated
Well, I like the concept even though I had this beer far after the end of the Mayan calendar. The flavor is far more honey than anything else. The underlying stout is nice but the sweetness of the honey and some faint citrus notes take away from the cocoa and roasted malt notes. I'm glad that I tried this once, but it's not a stout that I'll pick up again.

Presentation: Really cool artwork/graphics in the traditional Thirsty Dog fashion. Label also gives a small description of the beer, IBU info, ABV info, and web info. The Thirsty Dog cap and logo are awesome.
Appearance: I allowed Last Dog to warm for 10min before pouring it from its 12oz bottle into a 16oz English pint. Pours out a deep dark brown almost black color with a 2 finger brown head of medium density. Head retention was 3min 22sec before turning to a nice frothy coating and ring. Very good lacing.
Smell/Aroma: A deep roasted coffee malt scent is very prevalent in the nose along with a chocolate scent. Smell is on the sweeter side.
Flavor/Taste: A herbal grassy flavor hits the palette right away along with a slight honey sweetness. This is followed by a roast coffee and chocolate taste that is very intense before finishing with a coffee bitterness and then aftertaste. Honey comes through even more as this continues to warm.
MouthFeel/Drinkability: Medium bodied and smooth with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. This is a very very drinkable beer.
Overall/Comments: I must say I went in with high expectation and while I thought this was a very respectable offering I expected more. I would have liked to see a bit less roast and a bit more honey. Classifed as an American Double/Imperial Stout at 7%. Consumed 1-22-13.

Mayan Last Dog. Label shows the 12.21.12 date of the supposed end-of-the-world. It's not a bottle date or best by date. I poured my share into a snifter.
Translucent stout beer of a dark molasses color. A few spare bubbles didn't pop and remained on the surface, and that's all the head that formed despite me not tilting the glass and pouring straight down into the bowl of the snifter.
Straight-shooting malts in the nose. Barely a zip of hops. Smells sweet and creamy, but there is an undercurrent of roast that could mean something more robust in the taste. Picking up some chocolate, some golden raisin, and a few herbal notes. A little too straightforward. Not much to analyze.
The hops are right there on the first sip, all of a sudden, offering herbal and citrus notes. Clover honey is upfront, probably from being pronounced by other herbal/grassy notes and some gooey sweetness. But, this beer has some firm malt roast bitterness that dries out most of the honey and leaves the chocolate tones to come across as cocoa powder. Hints of mace and cinnamon stick become almost residual in the finish. Surprisingly tasty.
Very smooth, but mostly because the body is so thin. Thin for the style. The carbonation is decent, in that it stays out of the way and tries to dwarf itself to make the body seem more respectable. I must say it's sickly drinkable, as you could imagine.
The honey and chocolate and spices played together into a nice combo, and I'd like to see something like this replicated by another brewery--someone who could give it some more 'oomph'.

12oz. Blackish pour, some brown, a thin layer off white head. Sticks to the glass just a bit.
Aroma, lots of roast, mostly malt some coffee. Some caramel and dry cocoa. A little herbal hops.
Taste, Roasty again, mostly roast malt up front. Some caramel and dark chocolate. Some peat and ash. Kind of caramel mocha coffee finish. Hops don't really show up anywhere to me.
Solidly mid body, maybe just a tad thin. Not quite creamy level of carbonation. Drinks very easy. Just a little dry. More of a Foreign Stout to me. It is worth a try.

I have extremely fine hair. I do not have a lot of it either, I'm in my mid 20's, but the amount of hair I have is nearly comparable to a much older woman.Dying it and using heat tools fried it, making it look even worse.
Anyway,before I started using the K-pac series I struggled to find a product to consistantly fix my fried hair. One of my friends in beauty school recommended the K-PAC series to me, and I'm so glad she did.
I have found the deep penetrating reconstructor to be amazing, but since it's a protein treatment I can not use it each time I wash my hair. The liquid reconstruct is perfect for everyday use. I spray it on towel dried hair, and continue to blow dry. It makes my hair look smooth, and noticeably healthier. I get alot of compliments about how much better my hair looks now. There is no sign of the previous fried mess it used to be. It almost looks thicker too. I plan on staying with the K-pac line as long as its along.

I like this stuff, it is great for when my hair needs protein either from damage from coloring and styling or I went overboard on the moisture. I have slightly wavy hair that I let air dry and do not straighten 99% of the time, so I don't need this often but when I do it does help. It also seems to take the wave out of my hair. If I want my hair straighter without the use of heat, I reach for this. One lippie off for what is certainly an outrageous price, since it is mostly water, but it will last a long time, a little goes a long way.

Hello, I just purchased this product based on reviews I have read with hopes that this will help me with my hair breakage. I have used the product 3 times and so far I am pleased with the results. My hair seems less dry and damaged. I would have given this product a perfect review however I feel it is overpriced. I will update you in a month or so of using this.
November 10/12 Update
I love this product. I am so glad I tried it. I don't use it everyday. I was about 2-3 times a week. I don't use too much. I transferred it in a small spray bottle so I can take it with me when I travel.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this treatment, I think it has been a big part of my hair repair after bleaching a few times. It is also great at detangling without weighing my hair down. The only improvement I think would be good is if the spray was more mist like but that could be due to the consistency. I will definitely repurchase :)
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Have had this for a while now, and at the start I did notice a difference in my hair not breaking off as much, I don't know whether my hair has got used to this or not, but it doesn't seem to do much now. I use it about once a week applied to towel dried hair at the ends, if I put it on my roots it leaves my hair so greasy. Does make my hair manageable. I might try out the mask treatment instead when this runs out.

This is an amazing product especially for fine hair. I have been using it for years and it makes my hair smooth and manageable, without weighing it down.

This made a big difference in my hair. I woke up to well-behaved hair that was soft and less frizzy. It also smelled great while I was spraying it throughout my hair. It doesn't leave a residue and it didnt weigh my hair down. I use this when my hair needs a break from moisturizing products or after prolonged exposure to sun or wind. I really feel like my hair is stronger whenever I use this. If you are sensitive to protein based products, I wouldn't recommend this.

If like me, you have fine, fried, dyed hair, then these treatments are a GODSEND! I spray this through shampooed, towel-dried hair, then spray a leave-in conditioner through and my hair feels more like a human's and less like a very well-played-with Barbie dolls' tangled mess!

Love k pak!!! works great in my baby fine hair. Doesnt leave it heavy at all... makes it smooth and silk... notice a great improve in my hair since day one!!
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this stuff. My hair has been through hell and back but this really helps alot. As soon as i put it into my towel dried hair it already feels softer. It really seem to help with the repairing of hair and i cant wait to try the rest of the k-pak line. However be careful not to use too much of this at once as it is a protein treatment which can have reserve effects if used incorrectly. I like to use it every second day just to be safe. You get alot of product in the bottle and i can tell it will last me for atleast 3months.

Now seems like a good time to go over something that's been scratching at my brain for the past couple weeks as the 2012 season has unfolded a little bit more. Since the Seahawks just upset the Patriots, a team that had to be considered one of the top three in the AFC, it opens up the door for discussion on just how far the NFC has gone past the conference that people had said for a long time was the best.
I'm going to open the discussion, and then I'm going to slam it shut with some mind-boggling statistics to show how far this side of football has come.
It starts with the Super Bowl trends. The Broncos win in 1997 sparked a run that finished with nine AFC champions over twelve seasons. The Rams in 1999, the Buccaneers in 2002, and the Giants in 2007 as the only exceptions. However if the current trend continues the NFC could best the AFC's mark rather easily, hearkening back to the NFC's dominance from 1984-1996. These things come around, and it looks like it's coming back. No, it is back.
The NFC has won three straight Super Bowls and four of the last five. The days of winning a division with a mediocre record seem long behind us and it could be to the point where even 11-5 could leave you at home. Especially if the NFC teams keep beating up on those guys in "American."
After six weeks of football play, there is no winning team in the AFC East. On the bright side, there is no losing team either since they are all 3-3. The Bills, a team that gave up 45 or more three times in five games, are tied with the Patriots. So are the offensively challenged Dolphins. And of course, so are the Sanch-bows. So far the Patriots, a team that blew out Tennessee, Buffalo, and Denver (for most of the game), are 0-2 against the NFC West.
Of course, Miami and Buffalo got to .500 by beating NFC teams, so kudos to them. But we'll get to that later.
The Chargers play the Broncos tonight and if they beat them, it will give the AFC two divisions without a team that has a winning record. Overall, it will leave the AFC with just two teams above .500: The Ravens and Texans. Oh, about them... The 5-1 Baltimore Ravens have a case as one of the best teams in the NFL. Their defense isn't where they're used to it being, but the offense is pretty good. However, what version of this team shows up in the next ten games might not be one of the best in the NFL.
Not without your heart Ray Lewis. Not without your starting corner Lardarius Webb. Not if Haloti Ngata misses any time. A dominating team that had already lost Terrell Suggs, just got significantly more deflated. (Oh, and the Ravens are 4-0 against the AFC and 1-1 against the NFC after narrowly escaping the Cowboys yesterday.)
The Texans seemed to be the class of the AFC after a 5-0 start that saw them balanced, talented, and experienced on both offense and defense. Like clockwork, the Texans lost a star player to injury when Brian Cushing went out for the season. In their first game without him and their first game against the NFC, the 5-0 Texans got brutalized by Aaron Rodgers and lost 42-24 last night. Also, Arian Foster is down to 3.8 yards per carry and Andre Johnson is having his least productive season since 2005.
So with all that news, who is the class of the AFC? Better yet, where would the best AFC team even fit in against the NFC? How would the Texans do in the West? How would the Ravens do in the NFC North? There are three winning teams in the AFC for at least a few more hours, there are seven in the NFC.
There are nine teams in the AFC that have a negative scoring differential, compared to six in the NFC. More importantly though, the worst six scoring differentials belong to AFC teams. The worst in the NFC is the Panthers at -33 in five games compared to -90 for the Titans after six games.
The Texans +58 after last night is tops in the AFC and ranks tied for fourth overall. Currently the Bears lead at +78, the Giants at +64 and the Falcons, 49ers at +58. The Dolphins and Steelers barely escape negatives at +3 and +1, respectively, while the Rams barely fall short at -1.
Defensively, the AFC is like an infomercial that promises to make any man look like Tom Brady! The pass defense of the Titans, Chiefs, Colts, Raiders, Patriots, and Bengals make up six of the seven worst in the NFL, with the Saints sneaking in at number three. I use QB rating against in this example only because it gives us the most complete view even if it's bad. It's not enough to say yards because that's stupid if you saw Brady yesterday. It's also not enough to say Y/A because the Bucs give up 8.2 yards per attempt and have allowed 4 touchdowns and 8 INT in five games. And I'm not ready to use ESPN's QB thingy.
Let's just get to the fun part because why would we be waiting for the fun part anyway? You guys totally held out for the fun part. The head-to-head matchups.
Look, it's not just that the NFC is 19-9 against the AFC this year. That much should be obvious by now. But it's not only if you win, but how you win. The NFC has won big.
I counted ten games where an opponent beat an out-of-conference opponent by more than a touchdown. All ten winners came from the NFC, all by way of a blowout much bigger than seven:
- Bears 41, Colts 21
- Falcons 40, Chiefs 24
- Falcons 27, Chargers 3
- 49ers 34, Jets 0
- Bears 41, Jaguars 3
- Vikings 30, Titans 7
- Giants 41, Browns 27
- 49ers 45, Bills 3
- Buccaneers 38, Chiefs 16
- Packers 42, Texans 24
I had to lay that out in it's entirety so you could see what I mean by blowout. Even if the Jags, Browns, Bills or Chiefs are pretty bad, they don't get as embarrassed as often as that in the AFC. When I counted games I saw as "upsets" I found ten such games and this is what I found:
- Cardinals 20, Patriots 18
- Eagles 24, Ravens 23
- Chiefs 27, Saints 24
- Titans 44, Lions 41
- Colts 30, Packers 27
- Saints 31, Chargers 24
- Steelers 16, Eagles 14
- Bills 19, Cardinals 16 (OT)
- Dolphins 17, Rams 14
- Seahawks 24, Patriots 23
You can see that the AFC has six "upset" wins of three points or less. When you consider it, they're close to getting much more thoroughly dominated than 19-9, while the NFC has all the blowouts.
We have to ask "Why" this all happened, because it's neat, interesting, and gives us perspective. The defenses are great, but the quarterbacks rule this game. Look at the influx of NFC quarterback talent in the last four years:
Drafted -
- Cam Newton
Signed -
- Jay Cutler traded from AFC to NFC
- Kevin Kolb traded by way of Vick signing
Matured -
- Aaron Rodgers
- Matt Ryan
- Alex Smith
Of course, that doesn't include Drew Brees a little earlier than that, going from the AFC to the NFC. The real "weak spots" at QB in the NFC are probably the Cardinals situation, whatever is going on with Vick, Tony Romo mistakes, Stafford mistakes, Freeman at times, Newton's sophomore slump, Wilson's mistakes, and Smith at times. However, all 16 teams feel like they have someone, at least. Most seem set, but you could see Vick released or Kolb released or something unforeseen. Otherwise, pretty solid at that position.
How about this list: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, Matt Hasselbeck, Blaine Gabbert, Matt Cassel/Brady Quinn, zombie Carson Palmer. And that list excluded rookies, where you see Andrew Luck go through struggles but also gains. Nothing like Brandon Weeden and most of Ryan Tannehill's rookie seasons.
That's something that could improve over time, of course. But with the first and second year pros, including Jake Locker and Andy Dalton, there is a lot more uncertainty. Who are the elites of the AFC? Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, and Philip Rivers are as close as it gets. By the way, how many more years do those first three have and how good is Rivers really?
So is it good news for the Seahawks that the NFC is displaying such dominance right now or bad news because the road to the Super Bowl is that much harder? I think that the display of Super Bowl runs by both conferences at different times shows that it's much better to get through the gauntlet of the better conference than to sneak in through the crappy one.
Either way it's going to come down to one thing: Just being great.
The Seahawks are great on defense, so at the very least that should keep us in games. And at the very worst, maybe they'll let us move back to the AFC.

The Cleveland Browns announced on Monday that head coach Eric Mangini has been fired which didn't some as a huge surprise as speculation on Mangini's future had been rampant for several weeks. Now that he has been dismissed, the Browns turn to finding their next head coach -- a search that will not include Mike Holmgren.
Holmgren moved into a front office role with the Browns earlier this year and there was some speculation that he could hire himself as the head coach. He says that won't be happening -- at least not this year.
"I was hired to be the president of the Cleveland Browns. I think this year I've grown into the job. Having said that, I am also a coach and will always be a coach. To tell you right now that I would never coach again -- here or any place -- wouldn't be honest. But as of right now, my job is to find the best coach available for this job. That's what I'm trying to do. And that does not include me right now. I probably won't coach again. But I won't rule anything out."
It's interesting that Holmgren left the door open for a possible return to coaching at some point. Frankly, he's as qualified as anyone to lead the Browns but it doesn't sound like he'll be taking the job.
Early names on the Browns possible replacement for Mangini include John Fox, Jon Gruden and Marty Mornhinweg.

The Central Texas town of West will observe the first anniversary of a tragic fertilizer plant explosion on Thursday.
15 people were killed in the blast, including 12 firefighters. Multiple homes and schools were also leveled.
While Thursday marks a somber anniversary, the town is already showing a lot of progress in rebuilding, highlighting the hope it has for an even brighter future ahead.
On Wednesday, Governor Rick Perry announced the approval of another State grant of $4.8 million to help the town rebuild its infrastructure, including a water treatment facility. That brings the total of Federal and State grants to just shy of $30 million, with much of the funding going to help rebuild the intermediate and high school, both complete losses in the explosion.
Thursday, both the town of West and West Independent School District will observe a one-time holiday, closing out of respect for the victims of the tragedy.
The town will hold a memorial ceremony at 7:30 P.M. on Thursday, followed by a moment of silence at 7:51 P.M., the exact time the blast changed so many lives there in 2013.

Pulmonary disease associated with exposure to beryllium has been recognized and studied since the early 1940s, and an occupational guideline for limiting exposure to beryllium has been in place since 1949. Over the last few decades, much has been learned about chronic beryllium disease and factors that contribute to its occurrence in exposed people. Despite reduced workplace exposure, chronic beryllium disease continues to occur. Those developments have led to debates about the adequacy of the long-standing occupational exposure limit for protecting worker health.
This book, requested by the U.S. Air Force to help to determine the steps necessary to protect its workforce from the effects of beryllium used in military aerospace applications, reviews the scientific literature on beryllium and outlines an exposure and disease management program for its protecting workers.

America's Best Racing brand ambassador Jose Contreras – who puts his picks out for the public regularly on his own blog www.losponies.com - will help DerbyJackpot players with his insight in a regular blog feature for ABR.
Each week, Jose will give out his "Best Bet" of the weekend, ideal for a "Monkey Bet" (a win bet) on DerbyJackpot, as well as his Lonshot Play of the weekend, a nice opportunity to swing for the fences on a Monkey Bet or to take a shot with "The Granny" (a show bet, or top-three finish).
Jose also will lay out either a quick-hitting Granny Parlay or a Gonzo Bet. The Granny Parlay essentialy is a bet in which players will have an opportunity to place one Granny bet after another on a sequence of four or five races within an hour or so of each other, essentially letting it ride as they go "all in" search of a nice return on investment. The idea of the parlay is to steadily grow your bankroll until you have a sizeable stash of cash to let it ride on the final leg for a nice payout. The Gonzo Bet requires players to select the first two finishers in a given race in order, the same as a traditional exacta bet.
Place your bets at DerbyJackpot. Races open for betting about five minutes before post time. It's fun, it's easy, and you can win cash. Open your account today.
Recap of Last Week
Saturday: Tough trips for our Best Bet and Longshot Bet, they finished off the board. The Gonzo Bet, barely missed, our horses finished 1st and 3rd.
Sunday: Our Best Bet broke slow and finished off the board. Longshot Bet missed the board by less than a length and finished fourth at 15-1. The Gonzo was cold, all the horses finished off the board.
(Monkey Bet/Win Bet)
Keeneland, Race 7, 4:17 p.m. ET
#11 Lemon de Oro: Has two lifetime starts on the grass going long and both of those starts she has been close to the lead and tired late. Today, she shortens in distance and faces a field that is primarily composed of first-time starters. She has some racing experience, adds lasix for the first time and has good workout on today's surface. I think she has a big shot here. She's 5-to-1 on the morning line.
(Monkey Bet/Win Bet)
Santa Anita, Race 5, 6:09 p.m. ET
#7 Chicsdigtheshark: This is a horse who runs well when he gets the lead and last time out he didn't get away to a great start and was not able to get the lead. He looked uncomfortable behind horses and looked empty midway. Let's hope for a better start today.
Longshot Bet (Granny Bet/Show Bet)
Keeneland, Race 3, 2:09 p.m. ET
#4 Noble Charlotte: What I like most about her is her record on this Keeneland track. She has one win and three seconds from four lifetime starts. A few of her past efforts fit against this group and I think she has a shot at hitting the board. I expect her to be much higher than the 6-to-1 morning-line odds.
Longshot Bet (Granny Bet/Show Bet)
Santa Anita, Race 8, 7:45 p.m. ET
#6 Mobilized: He's got the class edge against many of these. His most recent race looked too tough of a spot given that he was only making his second start of 2013. I expect improvement in today's return to the Santa Anita turf, and his last two workouts look to be solid.
Exacta Box (Gonzo Bet)
Keeneland, Race 8, 4:50 p.m. ET
#4 One Golden Road: Ran out of ground last time out when flying late for third. Today, he gets more real estate and I expect him to be flying late once again.
#6 Paroled: This another one that has consistently closed ground late and has experience at this track and on this surface. He finished less than two lengths behind One Golden Road in their race.
#7 Sporting Holiday: He is going up in class but his trainer is winning at a rate of 20% when claiming horses for the first time. He will be a big price but is worth including in exacta given the connections.
#8 Global Express: He is the deserving favorite given some of his performances on the turf. He has a couple of nice workouts and has faced some tougher competition.
Exacta Box (Gonzo Bet)
Santa Anita, Race 9, 8:15 p.m. ET
#5 Water Issues: She broke slow and made up a lot of ground to finish fourth when running against a few of these runners. Today, she gets more ground to cover and hopefully her late kick will take advantage of the added real estate.
#6 Singleinthelast: She ran a decent fifth against tougher at Del Mar in her last race when losing by less than five lengths. She takes a big class drop for a trainer that wins at a 36% clip with this move. She brings a good workout into this race and looks to have plenty of room to improve.
#7 Papa's Flashy Girl: She chased solid fractions at Fairplex Park and ended up third in her first and only start on dirt. She showed she can handle the distance and that is a big advantage against some of these. She's another one who is only making her third lifetime start.

Upaya is sometimes translated "expedient means." In some circumstances even lies and trickery can be upaya, if they help someone wake up to realization.
Upaya also refers to the ability of a bodhisattva to help others realize enlightenment.
In Buddhist literature, upaya often is paired with "prajna," meaning "wisdom," particularly the wisdom of shunyata. Upaya is the activity of prajna, which manifests as compassion (karuna). In Pure Land Buddhism, upaya, prajna and karuna are called the Three Gates to Liberation.

Gun rights supporters upset about a new statewide license plate policy took their concerns to the Georgia Department of Revenue Tuesday. Advocates of gun rights spoke out at a public hearing held at the Revenue Department Headquarters on Tuesday. The hearing comes as state officials consider whether to make permanent an emergency rule on vanity license plates. The new rule followed the recent settlement of a lawsuit in Georgia overuse of the word gay on state license tags. The rule not only bans references to the word gay but references to weapons, drugs and alcohol as well. It went in effect in June and will be in place for 120 days. Gun rights supporters say that if the rules were to become permanent they would damage citizen rights. They say under the new rule a ban on references to weapons, drugs, and alcohol would damage their rights to free speech. "We see no reason why you can put other things on there and I have no problem with anything that anybody puts on a license plate with exception of vulgarity, and I don't think that guns should be left in with vulgar words," said Jerry Henry of GeorgiaCarry.org.The Revenue Department said it would not yet comment on hypothetical license tag references. Final decisions will come later on permanent regulations. These vanity tags are big money makers for the state, but regulating them continues to pose a challenge.The Revenue Department says its goal is to provide clear guidelines about what is acceptable on license tags. Drivers who are denied a tag request will have the right to appeal.

Thelen's Entire 20-Lawyer China Office Defects to Pillsbury Winthrop
Posted Sep 29, 2008 1:26 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman has reportedly raided Thelen's office in China of all 20 or so of its lawyers.
The group, which includes partners Lou Bevilacqua, Tom Shoesmith, Joe Tiano and Meg Utterback, is being split between Pillsbury offices in Shanghai, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., reports a Pillsbury press release.
"Pillsbury opened a small Shanghai office approximately one year ago, and in that time we made key inroads in the China market," Pillsbury Vice Chair Steve Huttler says in the release. "But from day one, we knew that we would need a much larger presence to achieve long-term success in China. When this opportunity presented itself, we found it an ideal solution, particularly when we recognized that the team's unique business model and capabilities would translate well into other international markets."
Shoesmith will serve as the new managing partner of Pillsbury's Shanghai office. Joseph Chan, who is currently managing partner of the office, will continue to be the firm's lead representative there, as well as the local section leader of the corporate and securities practice.

In December 2010, designer Dominique Falla made a foolish and public declaration that she would devote herself for a whole year to one typeface and one typeface only—Helvetica. It would appear that the year went remarkably well for Dominique, and she felt it was only appropriate to say 'goodbye' to Helvetica properly.
This book documents the typographic installation Goodbye Helvetica, which took place in early 2012, in the Surfer's Paradise Transit Centre on Australia's Gold Coast.
The project was installed over the course of five weeks in a curated research space facilitated by Griffith University, and forms part of Falla's ongoing doctoral research into Tactile Typography. The book showcases all ten works, the construction behind each one and a little about the motivation behind each piece and also gives us an insight into the linkage between a relationship break-up with a person and the parallels she draws with the break-up with the typeface.

Some Details about "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" Soundtrack ReleasedMusic
Conrad Pope, film composer and orchestrator, has updated his Facebook with comments on the "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" soundtrack:
Just finished the first week with the LSO of recording Alexandre Desplat's score to "HP7". Harry Potter now occupies a new musical universe. For Lovegood AD has written a charming, "groovin'" theme. Dobby, too, is given a new "voice". The emotional music reaches its climax in Ron's speech in the "wilderness" where the poetry of AD conveys the emotion in a single chord's voicing. Stay tuned.
The soundtrack will be released on November 16th. Thanks very much to UniversHarryPotter for the tip!

Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia — a condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues.
As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen. As a result, iron deficiency anemia may leave you tired and short of breath.
You can usually correct iron deficiency anemia with iron supplementation. Sometimes, additional treatments for iron deficiency anemia are necessary, especially if you're bleeding internally.
Initially, iron deficiency anemia can be so mild that it goes unnoticed. But as the body becomes more deficient in iron and anemia worsens, the signs and symptoms intensify.
Iron deficiency anemia symptoms may include:
When to see a doctor
If you or your child develops signs and symptoms that suggest iron deficiency anemia, see your doctor. Iron deficiency anemia isn't something to self-diagnose or treat. So see your doctor for a diagnosis, rather than taking iron supplements on your own. Overloading the body with iron can be dangerous because excess iron accumulation can damage your liver and cause other complications.
Iron deficiency anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough iron to produce hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that gives blood its red color and enables the red blood cells to carry oxygenated blood throughout your body. If you aren't consuming enough iron, or if you're losing too much iron, your body can't produce enough hemoglobin, and iron deficiency anemia will eventually develop.
Causes of iron deficiency anemia include:
These groups of people may have an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia:
Mild iron deficiency anemia usually doesn't cause complications. However, left untreated, iron deficiency anemia can become severe and lead to health problems, including the following:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs and symptoms that worry you. If you're diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, you may need tests to look for a source of blood loss, including tests to examine your gastrointestinal tract.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. For iron deficiency anemia, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
To diagnose iron deficiency anemia, your doctor may run tests to look for:
Additional diagnostic tests
If your blood work indicates iron deficiency anemia, your doctor may order additional tests to identify an underlying cause, such as:
Your doctor may order these or other tests after a trial period of treatment with iron supplementation.
To treat iron deficiency anemia, your doctor may recommend you take iron supplements. Your doctor will also treat the underlying cause of your iron deficiency, if necessary.
Iron supplements
Your doctor may recommend iron tablets to replenish the iron stores in your body. To improve the chances that your body will absorb the iron in the tablets, you may be instructed to:
Iron supplements can cause constipation, so your doctor may also recommend a stool softener. Iron may turn your stools black, which is a harmless side effect.
Iron deficiency can't be corrected overnight. You may need to take iron supplements for several months or longer to replenish your iron reserves. Generally, you'll start to feel better after a week or so of treatment. Ask your doctor when you need to return to have your blood rechecked to measure your iron levels.
Treating underlying causes of iron deficiency
If iron supplements don't increase your blood-iron levels, it's likely the anemia is due to a source of bleeding or an iron-absorption problem that your doctor will need to investigate and treat. Depending on the cause, iron deficiency anemia treatment may involve:
If iron deficiency anemia is severe, blood transfusions can help replace iron and hemoglobin quickly.
You can reduce your risk of iron deficiency anemia by choosing iron-rich foods.
Choose iron-rich foods
Foods rich in iron include:
Your body absorbs more iron from meat than it does from other sources. If you choose to not eat meat, you may need to increase your intake of iron-rich, plant-based foods to absorb the same amount of iron as someone who eats meat.
Choose foods containing vitamin C to enhance iron absorption
You can enhance your body's absorption of iron by drinking citrus juice or eating other foods rich in vitamin C at the same time that you eat high-iron foods. Vitamin C in citrus juices, like orange juice, helps your body to better absorb dietary iron.
Vitamin C is also found in:
Preventing iron deficiency anemia in infants
To prevent iron deficiency anemia in infants, feed your baby breast milk or iron-fortified formula for the first year. Cow's milk isn't a good source of iron for babies and isn't recommended for infants under one year. Iron from breast milk is more easily absorbed than the iron found in formula.

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
A major drug bust in Valdosta put a suspected drug dealer behind bars. Early Tuesday morning Lowndes County Sheriff's Investigators raided the home and found a lot of drugs.
A large amount of cocaine, marijuana, crystal meth, and a gun were all seized from the Dellwood Drive home. Lowndes County Sheriff's Investigators have been watching the home since July.
Tuesday they arrested 35-year-old Machari Nelson - a convicted felon, and a suspected drug dealer.
Neighbor Jamie Sherwood says she was sleeping when she heard a loud boom. "I'm laying in bed and I hear this huge thing of thunder, and I'm like I didn't think anything of it at first and then I heard it again and I heard people shouting 'police police.'"
The loud noises were diversion devices investigators threw into the home before they entered.
"There's at least ten cop cars lining the streets, like people busting down the door. It was insane," said Sherwood.
The lead investigator believes Nelson was a major supplier of drugs in this area. But before they caught him they waited until most of his children were out of the home.
"We served the warrant at a time when we believed the children would not be present, or the least amount of children present. We only found one at the home, but there were upwards of five children living in the home," said the undercover investigator.
Neighbors say Nelson and his family stayed to themselves, and they often saw a lot of foot traffic in and out of the house. Officials say this investigation is far from over. There may be more arrests coming.
Nelson faces multiple charges including trafficking cocaine and marijuana. He's being held in the Lowndes County jail.

The news didn't come as any surprise to Palmer Township Police Chief Larry Palmer.
Eight members of his police force were among the township's Top 10 highest paid employees and the chief wasn't even on the list because he started his job during 2012.
"No not at all," Chief Palmer said. "That is about par for the course in most municipalities. Is it usually police -- and fire if there is a paid fire department."
Leading the Top 10 was Sgt. Timothy Ruoff, who earned $109,640.
Just short of six figures was Det. Lereneo Faasuamalie, who made $98,373.
Breaking through the police ranks was Township Manager Christopher Christman, who came in third for 2012, earning $96,900.
Sgt. Michael Nelson finished fourth with $92,634 earned.
And Public Services Department Superintendent Richard Kistler rounded out the Top Five by earning $86,915 in 2012.
Palmer Supervisors Chairman David Colver said he wasn't bothered by the earnings.
"All of the township employees provide a very valuable service to our residents, businesses, property owners and the general public visiting or traveling through," he said.
Chief Palmer, Christman and township officials have made it a priority to reduce overtime expenses in the 2013 municipal budget.
Everyone except Christman qualified for overtime.
Rounding out the Top 10 earners are:
- Sgt. Glenn Sipel -- $86,490
- Sgt. Thomas Cardell -- $86,460
- Police Officer David Brotzman -- $86,165
- Lt. Thomas Trinchere -- $85,508
- Det. James Alercia -- $82,083

GREENFIELD -- The Maple Avenue Middle School teacher who was accused of inappropriate contact and conversations with a 14-year-old girl last year was exonerated Friday after a three-day jury trial in town court.
Joseph Bruno, 30, of Gansevoort was charged in May 2012 with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, after a student accused him of having a sexual conversation and inappropriate contact with her.
"His nightmare is over," his attorney Cheryl Coleman said. "It has been a horrible year for him."
Bruno, a tenured seventh-grade math teacher, has been on administrative leave since his arrest.
Coleman said a conversation did occur after school between Bruno and the student, but the characterization of it was fabricated.
"She claimed my client had touched her intimately and verbally come onto her," Coleman said. "It did not happen.
"It's the type of thing that can happen to any teacher. She put the rest of his life in jeopardy."
Bruno maintained through the trial that he had been talking to her about inappropriate comments she had made in the hallway earlier that day and that she had led the conversation into innuendo.
She then made accusations to her friends, school officials and eventually police.
"She came forward because of her belief in the inappropriateness of what happened," First Assistant District Attorney Karen Heggen said.
"It came down to a credibility issue," Coleman said.
The alleged victim in the case testified in the cramped Greenfield courtroom.
"We commend her for having the ability to come forward. She was a brave young woman," Heggen said. "We accept the verdict of the jury, but we believed wholeheartedly in her version of events."
Teachers were also called as witnesses on both sides of the case, including one called by the defense who testified that the student had laughed about the accusation.
"It became a contentious thing in the school district," Coleman said.
Friday, a jury found him innocent on the only count.
Bruno said some people stood by him throughout the ordeal.
"The support I've received has been so humbling," he said Friday as he celebrated reclaiming his good name with his family. "I didn't realize how important so many people were to me."
He said he looks forward to returning to work.
"I have been working toward and will continue to work toward a positive and smooth transition back to school," Bruno said.
Representatives of the school district could not be reached immediately.
