Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall, who had been sidelined while recovering from hip surgery, was on the field Wednesday at OTAs, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Marshall was reportedly taking snaps with the first-team offense and he lined up as the 'X' and 'Z' receiver, switching from side to side.
Miami acquired Marshall from the Broncos for two-second round picks and signed him to a five-year, $47.3 million contract in April.

Hi, my name is Joe. I am a Singaporean with a stable income. I am in the service industry for more than 10 years.
Surfing the Internet has a been daily activity for many years. I have learnt a great deal just by surfing the net and getting the information that I want.
I always wanted a single website that I can go everyday to get fresh updates on Technology news. There are actually quite a few out there but I needed one website that can have all my favorite links in a single page. I have to travel due to work and with this website, I can just go to it and all my favorite link will be there.
Hopefully, people will find my links useful and come back to my site as often as they like. This is the pride of owning a website with steady stream of visitors.
Added on to this website is another passion that I have, Photography. I have websites to store my picture but they don't allow me to use my creativity on designing the look. TechieLobang quenched my desire to do this.

The Baltimore Ravens had struggled on three consecutive drives to begin the 2012 AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots, and the Patriots' offense had begun to settle into a steady, productive groove. And then Lardarius Webb made an acrobatic interception of Tom Brady to swing momentum back to Baltimore.
Brady was looking for Julian Edelman, but couldn't fit the ball in over Webb, who turned around and snared the pass.
It's not Brady's first interception of the day — Bernard Pollard pulled one down off a tipped pass earlier in the first quarter, only for an illegal contact penalty on Webb to negate it — but it's the first one that counts. And he was, obviously, not pleased.

Integrated Award Environment (IAE)
Visit our new IAE Industry collaboration community on interact.gsa.gov.
For more information, please contact email@example.com
Visit our new IAE Industry collaboration community on interact.gsa.gov.
For more information, please contact email@example.com
The Integrated Award Environment (IAE), a Presidential E-Government initiative managed by GSA, facilitates every phase of the acquisition lifecycle, from market research to contract administration. The federal government is working to make the acquisition of goods and services secure, streamlined and cost-effective with IAE. The goal of the IAE initiative is to integrate and unify the federal acquisition process for government buyers and sellers.
Through IAE, the acquisition functions common to all agencies are now centrally managed as shared systems. In the coming years these shared systems will be integrated into a single system, the System for Award Management (SAM). SAM integrates the capabilities provided by the shared systems, streamlines processes, eliminates redundant data and saves taxpayer money.
Find information below on which systems have and have not been already migrated to SAM.
Already Migrated
- Central Contractor Registration/Federal Agency Registration
- Online Representations and Certifications Applications
- Excluded Parties List System
Planned Migration
- FBO (FedBizOpps)
The single government point-of-entry for posting solicitations over $25,000, allowing commercial business suppliers to search, monitor and retrieve opportunities in federal government markets.
- WDOL (Wage Determinations On-Line)
This governmentwide web site makes Service Contract Act (SCA) and Davis-Bacon (DBA) wage determinations easily accessible by the contracting community.
- PPIRS (Past Performance Information Retrieval System)
The federal acquisition community can access timely and pertinent contractor past performance information via this web-enabled, governmentwide application.
- FAPIIS (Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity System) – Module on PPIRS that implements requirements of National Defense Authorization Act Section 872 that provides data on potential awardees to support award decisions.
- FPDS-NG (Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation)
This online repository provides data on all federal contract actions over $3,000. Standard and custom reports are easily accessible.
- eSRS (Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System)
This system is designed for prime contractors to report accomplishments toward subcontracting goals required by their contract.
- FSRS (FFATA Sub-award Reporting System) – This system is designed to collect subcontract and sub-grant award information in compliance with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA).
- CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance)
Provides a full listing of all Federal programs available to state and local governments, organizations, and individuals. Although CFDA is not an IAE system, it is managed by the Program Management Office which oversees IAE systems and is also included in SAM.

Broadway and West End audiences applauded David Hare's play about a self-made restaurant tycoon whose wife discovers his affair with a young protégée. After his wife dies, can they resurrect their relationship?
Lend Me A Tenor
A Broadway sensation, this madcap comedy by Ken Ludwig is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. Ludicrous characters, mistaken identities, outrageous farce, and hilarity abound.

A Time to Kill
"A Time To Kill," adapted for the stage by Rupert Holmes, is based on the John Grisham novel about a small Southern town torn in two by an unspeakable crime. This courtroom drama is pure theatrical dynamite!
"A Time To Kill" — The Backstory
TPNC Board Member and frequent director Julie Bell Petrak saw the final Broadway performance of "A Time To Kill" in November, 2013. Julie was so impressed that she immediately sought the rights to perform it at the Powerhouse. After two months of persistent effort, she landed "ATTK" as the opener for our 2014-15 season. Kudos to Julie, who will direct the show. It opens on October 24th.
Powerhouse Renewal Under Way
Thanks to our generous supporters, we have now installed the major components of our new sound system! A few months ago, we also upgraded our entire lighting system.

How'd They Do That?
"The Governor's Son," by local playwright Jim Gordon, was a success at many levels, one of which came as a pleasant surprise. Audience members were so impressed by the seemingly instant and effortless scene changes that they requested backstage tours after every performance. Congratulations to Bob Doran for his innovative design, and to the volunteers who built and operated the set.

Joy Behar: Bill O'Reilly Needs to Be Smacked Around
In an interview with liberal actress Shirley MacLaine, HLN's Joy Behar admitted that Bill O'Reilly "bullies you around a little bit" and suggested he needs to a figure to "smack him around" as the two women teed off on the popular Fox News host.
"Well, he is little bit intimidating as you say," Behar remarked to MacLaine confirming her . He bullies you a little bit, I think. I felt that." At the end of the segment MacLaine insisted that O'Reilly needs a motherly figure like Joy Behar to control him. "To smack him around," Behar added, and MacLaine agreed.
"He's a bully, Joy. He's a bully," MacLaine spat during the segment. Behar had narrated O'Reilly's recent appearance on ABC's "The View" where she infamously stormed off the set, offended by his take that "Muslims killed us on 9/11." She attempted to explain why she left the set.
When MacLaine began to talk of when she met O'Reilly at a social event, Behar butted in and jokingly asked if it was at a "bund meeting." She was probably referring to meetings in the 1930s of the German-American Bund, an American Nazi organization.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on April 18 at 10:08 p.m. EDT, is as follows:
BEHAR: Now Bill O`Reilly, let`s talk about him for a minute.
MACLAINE:: Oh, dear.
BEHAR: You know, I walked off the show on him with Whoopi. Did you see that?
MACLAINE:: I saw that show. You should have kept going.
BEHAR: Yes. But I mean – well, we came back because he apologized. And it`s not just because he`s a right-winger sort of guy. It`s because I didn`t like what he was saying about, you know --
MACLAINE:: No, he`s a bully, Joy, he`s a bully.
BEHAR: Tell me what he did to you when you went on his show.
MACLAINE:: I called him. Because I know he`s very interested in UFOs. And he`s had the courage and guts to put some people on. And I don`t think that he actually spent a lot of time calculating and strategizing how to humiliate those people who were interested in UFOs. And I thought, well, he might try to do that with me but I have had a lot of experience with it and I could probably counteract it. We`re ready to go on and he came in the dressing room. You know, he`s 6`9 1/2 or whatever.
BEHAR: Yes. He`s big.
MACLAINE:: And he likes to act like he`s bigger. And he uses the body movement, et cetera, as a bullying movement tactic, if you ask me. And, "Hey, MacLaine." I said, "Hello, Bill" because I`d met him socially, liked him pretty well.
BEHAR: Where, at a bund meeting? No, I`m kidding.
MACLAINE:: Very funny. He turned to me at one point and said, "Well, you`re really nice. Well, you`re nice, you`re not stuck up." I thought, oh, God, come off it. So stupid.
And he said to me, I`m not going to talk about what you want to talk about. We`re going to talk about Iraq. I said, come, on Bill, I don`t want to talk about Iraq. It`s ridiculous that we`re there -- and you know, "No, no, well, you think you Hollywood people know." And he went on and he went on.
And, you know, I`m from Virginia, Joy. And I`m -- I`ve got the founding fathers in my blood. I feel very patriotic about protecting what the founding fathers were on about in the first place.
BEHAR: Right. Right.
MACLAINE: And so as he`s talking, well, we don`t -- "You don`t know anything about Iraq, you people in Hollywood." And I forgotten the first time I said no (EXPLETIVE DELETED) to him, but I did. And he kind of blinked and thought, she`s really done that. And then I said it again. And he still didn't stop. And it was -- what I remembered was that the people who go on with him never really call him on his stuff.
BEHAR: Right.
MACLAINE: They laugh. And they giggle.
BEHAR: Well, he is little bit intimidating as you say. He bullies you a little bit, I think. I felt that.
MACLAINE: Well, of course.
BEHAR: When he was on with us, he turned to me, and he said, listen and learn, like I`m some kind of idiot or a young girl or something. You know I`m probably older than he is. Anyway, we`re going to take a break.
MACLAINE: You could be his mother too.
BEHAR: I could be his mother?
MACLAINE: And he is -- he needs a mother like you. He needs something.
BEHAR: To smack him around.
MACLAINE: Yes.

Smack Around?

If Behar is looking for someone to smack around, she merely has to go look in the mirror, if she has one she hasn't already cracked into a thousand pieces. One of the true loud mouth bullies who, for some ungodly reason, is given a daily platform. Talk about the dumbing down of America, she's on of the chief culprits.

Rush undeniable truth:
This issue pops up now and again. Liberals and democrats get creamed by media outlets who point out the truth about them. They are then branded as 'right wing hatemongers'. The liberals who can't compete with them intellectually, honestly or coherently then start screaming and moaning that the bad ol' Right Wing news shows 'need a liberal on their show to balance them out'.
Rush delightfully destroys such idiocy with an oft-repeated line:
'My show doesn't need liberals to balance it out, I AM the equal time!'

The laziest kind of argument, is to say, I'd a won the debate, but he bullied me. How so?. Well, he's tall... or he uses that height of his in an intimidating way..
really? so how does Joy propose that BOR effectively shrink himslfe as to not trip Joy's hyper sensitive alpha male avoidence systemn? Perhaps he should walk on his knees or walk in a continous bow to her fragile as a daisey cower at the first sign of resistence feminism?
From my view point, they choked, couldn't produce any rational argument to rebute his so they stammered and stuttered in rage.. absolutely outraged someone dare DARE to ask they defend their shallow position. McClain has always been a feather brain, the go to gal for insipidly stupid statements in Hollywood.
Joy? (isn't that like naming Satan cuddles?)... even worse, since her stupidity carries the weight of a petty vindictive streak a planet wide. I would bet she talks to herslef ALOT,.. pacing and ranting like Chuckles Sheen on his 27th acid hit of the day. Someday, they'll PAY.. DO YOU HEAR ME WORLD,.. SOMEDAY I'LL CUT ALL,..

Whats killing my trees?
< return to Cultural Techniques page
Oak Roof Fungus Or June Beetle?
Dave Dias plucks a fat, creamy-white grub with a dark-brown head from the exposed root of a downed almond tree, holds it up to the light and points a tanned finger at the curled insect, "We didn't know what was killing our trees until we pulled one and found these chewing on the roots," he says. "At first, we thought the problem might be oak root fungus, but we couldn't find any signs of that." The problem, it turns out, was an invasion of tenlined June beetle.
Dias, farm lab manager at San Joaquin Delta College, discards the struggling grub and gestures in a sweeping motion at the sick trees surrounding him. "We've lost 85 trees to June beetle since 1986 and it's too late to stop it. The orchard is 17 years old, so we'll continue to farm it as long as it is economically viable. Then we'll pull the trees and fumigate the ground."
If identified early in its infestation, the beetle can be stopped, or its invasion severely impeded, says Dias. "Had we known what the problem was when the first trees began to decline, we could have done something about it, but too much time went by before we knew for sure what we had." Now he knows what to look for.
"The problem began in one corner of the orchard about three years after it was planted," he explains. "The trees were stunted. We thought there may have been some kind of contamination in the soil that was affecting those trees. A few years later, the trees began to die. That's when we thought we had oak root fun fungus, but we could never find it."
A few years later the problem began to spread at a more rapid pace. "About that time, the drought set in and the problem began snowballing on us," Dias recalls.
"When it appeared in another spot in the orchard, we got real aggressive about finding out what it was," he says. "At first, when we pushed a dead tree over to examine amine the roots, we couldn't find anything suspicious. Later, we noticed some grubs among the roots and identified them as ten-lined June beetle larvae. By that time, our orchard was heavily infected."
What Dias found were larvae with a brownish head with six tiny feet up close to the head, and a long, cream-colored abdomen. The grubs, which are an inch and a half long and about 3/8-inch wide, curl into a "C" when taken from the soil. The adult beetles are chocolate late brown with ten creamy-white stripes down the wing covers.
The ten-lined June beetle infestation at the Delta College farm is not unique. According to San Joaquin County Farm Advisor Paul Verdegaal, the pest is known to be gnawing away at roots in other almond blocks in sandy areas of the county, as well as in some walnut, apple and cherry orchards in other areas of the state. He suspects the beetle is chewing its way across a steadily-widening swath of California farmland, largely undetected, because its symptoms are general enough to mask as oak root fungus or other stresses.
Dr. Robert Van Steenwyck of U.C. Berkeley conducted a baseline study of the beetle's biology in the mid- 1980s. His study was written up in the July-August 1990 edition of California Agriculture. Van Steenwyck says that known infestations of June beetle in commercial orchards are not numerous at this time and are largely confined to the sandy areas of San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, but the pest could appear elsewhere at any time.
According to Van Steenwyck, the slow, outward spread of June beetle infestations occurs for two reasons: the beetle's two-year larval stage, and the stay-at-home habit of the female beetle. She is little inclined to travel from her burrow to establish a new site unless her food supply is running low. She emerges only to mate and then at the entrance of her burrow. Afterwards, she dives back in to lay her eggs. If food is running short, she will travel as far as the next tree and dig in there.
The larvae do the damage to almonds, feeding on roots for two years while developing underground. Most are found in the top 14 inches of soil, but have been found feeding five feet below the surface.
Controlling the pest isn't easy. As Dias points out, "You don't know they are there until the tree starts to decline. By then it is usually too late to save the tree, but it serves to let you know you have a major problem."
He says, "Affected trees probably won't die the first year you see them in decline, but by the second year it is usually so far gone it will die or you will want to pull it out. You usually see the symptoms early in the year. Infested trees leaf out earlier than normal. Then, as the weather warms up, usually in April, and the trees begin to push, they won't have the necessary root capacity. So they collapse and within a few weeks are dead."
So what can a grower do to fend off a suspected infestation of ten-lined June beetle? According to Verdegaal, the best control is to fumigate before planting. "After that, they are very difficult to control," he says, "because the larvae are too deep to be effectively controlled with soil-applied materials."
"If a grower discovers he has June beetle, it is not panic time," says Van Steenwyck, "but he should take it seriously and develop a plan for controlling it. If he ignores it for even a few years, it could get out of control."
If trees are dying, tough measures are called for, says Van Steenwyck. He recommends taking out the damaged tree(s)) plus two trees in every direction outside the infested area. "Then, fumigate the area with methyl bromide to kill all the larvae and beetles living in the soil," he says. "Pulling the trees bordering the infested area is important. While it may seem a radical measure, it helps as sure a complete kill, because some beetles may have migrated or larvae could have been carried outside the infested area by farm equipment."
If tree pulling and fumigating are out, it is worth trying soil applied materials to keep the infestation from spreading, although most currently-available materials are not likely to penetrate the soil profile far enough for a major kill. The most suitable times for this type of control are during the larval stage in September and again in May.
Unfortunately, there is no chemical guideline for June Beetle at this time, but this is being pursued, says Verdegaal. Research is underway in both chemical and biological control.

The Rio de la Plata Derby is the best it's been in decades, with Uruguay having enjoyed more recent success than Argentina. The Uruguayans were the best placed South American side at the last World Cup and won Copa America last year on Argentinian soil. They started the qualifying cycle looking like the continent's strongest team, but they've faltered recently, while Alejandro Sabella's men have come into top form.
It appears that an Argentina manager has finally figure out the best way to assemble a squad behind Lionel Messi. With two pivot midfielders behind him, a striker in front of him and two players flanking him, Messi has played his best football in an Argentina shirt while playing for Sabella. He's third in goals scored in CONMEBOL qualifying and is directly responsible for much of Gonzalo Higuain's six-goal haul.
Uruguay have been stellar when they have a healthy team, but less than impressive when missing any of their key players. Their starting XI can compete with anyone in the world, but it's not surprising that a nation of just 3.3 million people does not have a lot of depth. The good news for them is that they're finally injury and suspension three, and their preferred front three of Edinson Cavani, Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez should start the match.
The key man to watch on either side is Diego Lugano, the Uruguayan captain and central defender. He was once among the most consistent and reliable defenders in the world, but age appears to have caught up with him. If he's not anticipating every Higuain run and every Messi through ball perfectly, his lack of physical ability will be found out.
Match date/time: 8 p.m. ET, Friday
Venue: Mundialista Mendoza, Mendoza, Argentina

Lenses / Re: EF 100mm f2,8 L IS Macro... is IS worth it?« on: June 23, 2013, 07:23:00 AM »
The only problem I have with the 100 2,8L IS macro is it didn't come with the tripod collar. When I got this lens, it was for a lot of 1/200, f/14, iso 100 1:1 close up macro work. However, now I've stepped back a bit and started trying to get backgrounds in my macro shots. The IS helps tremendously for that. I love everything about this lens. I had reservations about getting since I already owned the non IS version, but I am glad I went with it. One thing to mention is I can AF at close to 1:1 where you can't do that with the non IS. I'd prefer to be manual and rock back and forth but sometimes with some small insects, the AF just works better.

Updated Jan. 12, 2012 @ 5:12 p.m. ET
In his divisional round handicapping column, PFW's Mike Wilkening sides with a pair of underdogs, including one led by a rookie quarterback.
New Orleans (-3½) at San Francisco (47½)
Do you remember those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books? Well, this is that sort of game. Either you believe the 49ers' offense is capable of trading punches with the Saints' attack or you don't. The Saints, who are averaging 34.8 points, are not going to be held scoreless.
Me? I believe in the 49ers' ability to score enough to be competitive. San Francisco averaged 23.8 points in the regular season, a figure that would have been higher had it been a little stronger in the red zone. Only 22 of the Niners' 54 trips inside the opposition 20 resulted in TDs (30th in NFL).
However, the Saints have struggled keeping opponents out of the endzone when they enter the red zone. Including the postseason win vs. Detroit, when the Lions scored touchdowns on all four trips inside the 20, New Orleans has allowed 27 TDs in 43 opponent red-zone trips.
I believe there's a solid case for the Over, and that's my play in this matchup. That said, if this becomes a field-goal fest — which is quite possible — I could end up on the wrong side. The 49ers have a wonderful defense, one quite strong as opponents approach their goal line. San Francisco allowed just 14 TDs in 34 opponent red-zone possessions.
If this game lands on 19-16 or some other FG-loaded score .... well, I always knew it was possible. Nevertheless, the Over is the side to take here.
Wilkening's pick: Over 47½
Houston (+7½) at Baltimore (35½)
When these teams met in Week Six, I took the points, and I ended up on the wrong side of a 29-14 Ravens win. That Texans club had Matt Schaub at quarterback.
Three months later, the Texans are starting a rookie, T.J. Yates, at quarterback. Yates will be playing in just his fourth NFL regular-season road game. The Ravens are lights-out at home, winning all eight regular-season games at M&T Bank Stadium.
So why am I taking the points?
As in Saints-49ers, it comes down to confidence in an offense not without its shortcomings. Yates' inexperience is a real concern for me, certainly.
However, he's surrounded by excellent talent. RB Arian Foster has exceeded 100 rushing-receiving yards in each of his two lifetime starts vs. Baltimore. WR Andre Johnson, who caught Yates' lone TD pass in the wild-card win vs. Cincinnati, racked up 140 yards and two TDs in his last game against Baltimore in 2010.
In addition to the underdog, I like the Over. This total looks a touch short. These teams combined for 62 points in a regular-season meeting in 2010 and 43 points in October. While each club has a strong defense, I anticipate both offenses having some success. My belief in the Texans' ability to compete makes this pairing of picks a natural.
Wilkening's pick: Houston
Wilkening's pick: Over 35½
N.Y. Giants (+7½) at Green Bay (53)
This may sound odd ... but I don't want to lay more than a touchdown with the Packers right now. Yes, yes, I know — that résumé! They have lost one game! They covered in 11-of-16 regular-season games, a spectacular record for a club this popular. They were even a perfectly acceptable 5-4 ATS as a favorite of more than a touchdown.
So what am I afraid of?
For starters, the Giants played the Packers to within three points at the beginning of December — and the Giants are in better form now than they were then. They have won their last three games by an average of 18 points, allowing just four TDs in this span.
The Packers are going to get their points on Sunday. There's nothing any Giants backers or the Giants themselves can do about that if the Green Bay offense plays to form. However, by extension, if the Packers' defense continues to play like one of the NFL's worst, the Giants can hang around and keep this close.
The Giants are a solid road team (5-3 ATS) and a very good underdog (5-2 ATS). Look for a competitive effort Sunday afternoon.
Wilkening's pick: N.Y. Giants
Last week: 3-1
Season to date: 37-35

ESTA's Seminars & Training Committee presents Programming Automated Lighting Fixtures on a Conventional Tracking Console on Sunday, March 20, 2005, from 9:00am - 5:00pm, immediately following USITT in Toronto, Canada.
This one-day hands-on training workshop covers the basics of programming automated lighting fixtures on a conventional tracking console (Strand Lighting 500 Series). The workshop is limited to 20 people (2 people per console). This workshop will cover such topics as:
— Patching - fixture personalities, DMX channel mapping, DMX universes and addresses
— LTP vs HTP - sub masters, multiple cue lists vs. single cue lists
— Tracking/Non-Tracking - stage mode/blind mode, manipulating/copying fixture attributes
— Command Line Programming - terminology, recording palletes, grouping attributes
— Programming Fixture Selections (i.e. Groups) - terminology, recording
— Cues - timing elements, numbering schemes, copying/deleting/moving, creating blocked cues
— Cue Playback - manually advancing, pausing, jumping, stepping, monitoring, releasing
— Cue Editing - opening, making changes, rerecordng, cue-only
— Cue Lists - part cues, follow/wait cues, link cues, mark cues
— Chase/Sequences/Loops - auto follows, jumping, options
— Tracking issues - inserting and deleting
— Effects - adding effects to an attribute of a fixture
— Saving the Show
— Merging Cues and Palettes Between Shows
The instructor for the course is Bobby Harrell, who has been working as a lighting designer and programmer in opera, dance and theatre for over 15 years. He holds an MFA in Lighting Design from the University of California Los Angeles. Harrell regularly teaches console training because he believes, "as long as the theatre design community continues to demand more sophisticated programming at an even faster pace programmers will need to respond with an ever greater understanding of the control desk."
The workshop will be held at: Strand Lighting 2430 Lucknow Drive, Unit 15, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Transportation will be provided to and from the Metro Toronto Convention Center. Price includes transportation and lunch.
Register by February 11th, 2005 – Space is limited! This workshop is presented in cooperation with Strand Lighting Professionals $295. ESTA, USITT and IATSE Members Special Price $225.

from Keith Mathison Jul 07, 2014 Category: ArticlesBuilding on the covenantal foundation set down in the Pentateuch, the pre-exilic prophets lamented that Israel was breaking God's covenant and called on them to repent. They warned the people that if they did not repent God would pour out upon them the curses of the covenant, including the ultimate curse of exile. Yet even in the midst of their dire warnings, judgment is not their final word. Keep Reading

Ardley gets his "wow" factor in new AFC Wimbledon signing
1:20pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley has moved quickly to plug the gap left in defence by Andy Frampton's injury by signing Darren Jones on a free until the end of the season.
The 30-year-old left the Shrewsbury Town last week after falling out of favour with manager Graham Turner, who incidentally stepped down on Tuesday.
Jones made 57 appearances for Shrewsbury in League One before a dislocated shoulder in March put him on the sidelines, from where he has rarely moved.
Ardley said: "Losing Andy [Frampton] was a blow, and he could be out for up to eight weeks.
"But Darren [Jones] is a great signing for us. We only recently realised there was a chance we might be able to get him, and straightaway we said 'wow, if we can get him it would be an amazing thing'.
"I was looking at several for that position, but none were of his quality. He is another Andy Frampton, he's a leader, at a good age and a very good player."

Product Details The pale faced man led the procession down to the grave yard to bury the dead. He rode in a wagon draped with a black curtain and led by a single white horse. If the family paid 6 extra shillings he would provide a boy to cry and let people know that a burial was taking place. He knew the secrets of the graveyard and made many gold pieces from putting them into the ground, and sometimes taking them out. Are you brave enough to wear the Grave Digger Child costume? This gothic costume will put you into the mood for horror. The black floor length cloak has long sleeves and a half cape. The authentic period costume also includes a wide black belt and a tall formal black hat. Be careful to keep the white dickey clean, you dont want dirt or blood to stain it. If youd like to have a little more fun, order pallor makeup and a skull prop from this page. Remember to always wear black when rob graves at night and order the Grave Digger Child Costume.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
RxArt, a nonprofit dedicated to livening up children's hospitals with contemporary art, held its 12th annual fundraiser last night at Milk Studios. The difference this year: A few days before the party, it was revealed that a portion of the evening's proceeds would to go to artists devastated by Superstorm Sandy. "We need to give back to the lifeblood of the industry," said Jen Brill, a member of the event committee. Olivia Kim, Opening Ceremony's VP of creative, and Brill's partner in a capsule shoe collection for Cole Haan, was doing her part at the silent auction, but she wasn't saying what she was interested in. "I learned my lesson last year—told everyone which pieces I wanted, and then got outbid by Terry Richardson on every single one!"
Dan Colen was the evening's honoree. The artist is currently installing his giant M&Ms sculptures throughout the pediatrics unit at King's County Hospital in Brooklyn. Said RxArt founder Diane Brown: "It's really going to transform the environment for children and their families."

How to Treat and Prevent Headaches
Dear Diary
Elizabeth Parker, 42, a mother of two school-age daughters in Charlotte, North Carolina, is normally upbeat and energetic. But every month, the day before her period, she develops a pounding headache so severe that only a prescription drug can relieve it. This has been going on since she began menstruating, at age 14.
While most of us -- 95 percent of women, says the American Headache Society -- get occasional headaches, most often triggered by stress or fatigue and mild enough to be cured with two aspirin and a good night's sleep, more troublesome pain like Parker's is also widespread. According to a World Health Organization report, 15 to 18 percent of women (two to three times the rate of men) experience migraines each year, and as many as one in 20 adults have a headache nearly every day.
Doctors recognize several types of headaches, such as the garden-variety tension type; migraines, including menstrual migraines; rebound headaches; and cluster headaches, the most severe kind. Fortunately, improved understanding and a growing number of effective new drugs have made headache treatment better than ever. To determine what type of headache you have, it's important to keep a diary of your symptoms for at least a few weeks to spot potential pain triggers, which might include hormonal changes right before your period, eating certain foods, drinking alcohol, changes in the weather, and stress. Our guide will give you the facts you need to pinpoint the problem, take the right steps to treat your headache, and better yet, prevent the pain entirely.

PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain talked with CBS color commentator and former NFL defensive back Solomon Wilcots for this week's "Five questions with" segment. Wilcots will be on the call of the Patriots-Raiders game this Sunday for CBS.
PFW: From what you have seen, what is it about the Patriots' offensive attack that makes them go, and how can a team slow them down?
Wilcots: They have precision and timing in their passing game that really makes it go. They use spread formations, five guys and empty backfield sets. There is no way coverage can hold against all five guys, particularly if protection holds up, and (Tom Brady) won't hold onto it long, he gets rid of it. Routes are short and intermediate, sometimes with one deep route. He always, and I mean always, has somewhere to go with the football. Rarely will the defense get lucky and have all five guys covered up. If pressure gets on, then the game can break down, like with the Jets last year in the postseason. Pressure on the quarterback can bite (the offense), disrupting the route can bite you; those are all components that affect the timing of the passing game. If you can affect the timing by pressure, a tipped ball or jamming the receiver, then you can have some success. You need one of those three things working defensively. They are so good at timing and precision that it makes it very difficult to take it away.
PFW: On the opposite side, the defense is still giving up a lot of yards, what are they missing on that side of the ball?
Wilcots: It starts with the pass rush. They haven't rushed the passer in two years, and it's gotten worse this year. They cannot get to the quarterback and they certainly can't do it consistently when they need to on critical plays and critical downs. I don't care who you have on the back end, when quarterbacks become comfortable, they can pick you apart. Any quarterback in this league, if you don't hit him or get his jersey dirty, he will become comfortable and you're done. I can't talk about the pressure part of it enough. Breakdowns in coverage? Yes, those happen. Buffalo was spreading them out; too, giving them some of the same poison, and (Fred) Jackson can catch it out of the backfield. Buffalo fought fire with fire. Without the pressure component, the Patriots couldn't hold up.
PFW: Going against a Raiders team with a back like Darren McFadden, what do you have to do as a defense to slow him down?
Wilcots: The problem with McFadden is he is just as good of an inside runner as an outside runner. We all remember Ray Rice as a rookie sort of torched (the Patriots) in the playoffs a couple years ago. McFadden is that kind of runner inside and just as dangerous on the edge. He can turn the corner with the best running backs in this league. With some running backs, we want to get him running sideways or downhill. If you make (McFadden) run sideways, he will turn the corner and still score. If you make him go north-south, he will crease you up the middle and burn you that way. (The Patriots) need to tackle. The Raiders' strength on offense plays to the Patriots' strength, their run defense. The Raiders want to run the ball. If they can achieve some kind of balance between throwing and running it, it will be a long day for the Patriots.
PFW: The Raiders' front four did a good job against Mark Sanchez and the Jets, can they do that against an offense like New England's?
Wilcots: They have eight really good defensive linemen. They are big, and I mean huge. They can run and they have a rotation. With (Richard) Seymour in the middle, you're going to need two to block him. It's kind of like the Giants' D-line from (Super Bowl XLII). Tommy Kelly, John Henderson and Matt Shaughnessy — they're all good. You can't double-team everyone, and the Patriots may have a rookie playing at tackle. (The Raiders) have to get pressure in the face of Tom Brady, not pressure off the edge or corner, but pushing the pocket into the face of Brady, forcing him to go left or right. They don't want to let him step up in the pocket, which is easier said than done, but they have the personnel to do it. Seymour has every reason to get going in this one.
PFW: The Patriots' secondary is struggling with a pair of young safeties. How important is the communication back there for the secondary?
Wilcots: There's a lot to learn. People don't understand being a safety in the NFL is like being a quarterback on offense, and middle linebacker is kind of the same thing. I will say this — you have got to have a very high football IQ. When teams motion and shift, they have to process info like the quarterbacks and then get people lined up to be in position. When the ball is snapped, everybody on their own and they have to be disciplined and follow their assignments. Safeties' knowledge is critically important. You look at the Patriots, who are ranked 32nd in pass defense, well, the Raiders are not much better. Both teams lost to the Bills for the same reason — they got huge leads and the pass defense could not stop anyone. We saw what happened to the Patriots. The Raiders allowed (Ryan) Fitzpatrick to score on five straight possessions. I'm going to tell you this, I don't know who has the best pass defense in the league, but it's not much better than the worst. All of them are getting torched. I did a game in St. Louis last week, Torrey Smith, a rookie, scored three touchdowns in the first quarter. The lockout and the lack of being on the field has hurt secondaries and pass-defense schemes more than any other area of our game, and quarterbacks are exploiting it. Safeties are not ready. They are breaking down, the communication is not there and the cohesiveness is not there. With the lockout, no OTAs and a short time in minicamp, secondaries are floundering, not matching up to routes, not playing zone well, not playing man well, they can't sync up with blitzes. It's the worst I've seen.

RALEIGH, NC (WECT/AP) - North Carolina's state school board says it opposes using physical pain to enforce discipline, saying corporal punishment does more harm than good.
The State Board of Education on Thursday approved a statement opposing corporal punishment, which is still allowed in a dozen or so of the state's 115 districts. The state board's resolution does not ask the General Assembly to outlaw the practice.
The number of children being paddled in public schools is falling fast.
The state school board says corporal punishment can harm students physically, mentally and emotionally and there are many other ways to maintain discipline.
A report last month found corporal punishment was used about 400 times statewide during the last school year, less than half of the 890 cases reported the previous year.
According to the report released by the NC Department of Instruction, Columbus County ranks third in the state for number of times corporal punishment was used on students. The report lists 36 instances of the punishment during the 2011-2012 school year, despite a 2012 policy change that eliminated the practice of corporal punishment in the Columbus County School System.
In March of 2012, WECT reported that the Columbus County School Board voted to eliminate the practice of paddling students if they broke the rule. At the time school officials said they had discussed getting rid of the policy after seeing reports from previous years showing the school system accounting for 22 percent of all corporal punishment in the state.
The report released by the state does not list the dates the punishments occurred so it is unclear if all 36 instances happened before the policy by the school board in March of 2012.
Bladen County was the only other county in the WECT viewing area that used corporal punishment during the 2011-2012 school year. According to the report, one instance of corporal punishment was used in the district.

WOODWARD, Okla. — Bill Stanley was sound asleep shortly after midnight Sunday when he suddenly found himself trapped in bed by a demolished roof from a thundering tornado.
"I woke up with loose insulation on my face, and rain falling on me," said Stanley. "At first I thought it was just a surreal dream."
It wasn't and Stanley lived to tell about the real-life twister that killed six, injured two-dozen and destroyed more than 100 homes and businesses in this rural Oklahoma town.
Stanley's was one of several tales of survival that emerged from the twister that struck at 12:18 a.m. Sunday with only three minutes warning from the town's siren warning system.
None was more compelling than the story of Wilma Lake Nelson, 87, who also survived a 1947 tornado that killed 116 people here and ranks as the deadliest in Oklahoma history.
Nelson, a live-alone widow, said she heard about Sunday's tornado on the weather radio next to her bed, and hunkered down in a small closet in her bedroom.
"I had just got the door shut when I heard it," she told Oklahoma City News 9 TV station. "It sounded like an explosion. I guess that's when my roof went off."
She said a piece of sheet rock from the closet's ceiling hit her on the head, causing her to start "shaking like a leaf" before discovering she was okay. Her home, however, was destroyed.
Sixty-five years earlier, Nelson, then 23 years old, survived the town's historic tornado by hiding beneath a dining room table. That twister also demolished her then home.
"It is a miracle she's alive," said Robin Gregory, Nelson's daughter. "Thank God for that."
Nelson, who described herself as a "tough old coot," said she had no worldly explanation for surviving two deadly tornadoes 65 years apart.

Governor Deval Patrick wants the federal government to hold off on new flood table maps. Consumers and officials alike are concerned that the new maps will lead to rate shock for flood insurance buyers, according to the Boston Herald.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is finalizing the new maps, which put more areas in potential flooding zones. Flood insurers in some cases have already abandoned the old federal maps in favor of the new proposal, which puts more homes in flood risk and allows them to charge more for insurance.
"FEMA has these new maps which go into effect really soon, and in some cases, are already being used by insurers as a model for their rates. And our appeal to FEMA is, slow down," Patrick said yesterday, according to the Herald.
Representative William Keating wrote an editorial in the Boston Globe calling into question the accuracy of the new maps. Keating cited two experts who reviewed the plan questioned the scientific methodology used.
"Their findings indicate that FEMA applied an inappropriate methodology for our region when establishing the new flood zone maps," wrote Keating. "The methodology employed used the Pacific Coast model, which does not truly reflect flooding patterns found on the Atlantic coastline in New England."

BOZEMAN - The city of Bozeman now has a budget for the 2014 fiscal year in place. The budget sits at about $75 million, $26.9 of that will make up the general fund, which is the city's main operating account.
The recommended budget showed an average taxpayer will pay about $45 in property taxes, but Commissioners decided not to implement a water rate increase. Now, each taxpayer will only pay about $41 per year."I think it was a productive night. We've got a budget that allows us to allocate resources to the city commissioners priority and accomplish them in this upcoming year,' said Chris Kukulski, Bozeman City Manager. The 2014 year budget is down about $10 million from the 2013 budget.
