We've hit the home stretch of the offseason with precious little time remaining for players and coaches to get their non-football lives in order. The first practice for the 2013 season is today.
WWLTV.com will take a look at 10 questions for New Orleans entering training camp and the season. They're in no particular order, just numbered.
We've love to get your thoughts on each day's topic. Leave your comment below or on the station's Facebook page to further the discussion
Which is the critical game on the '13 schedule?
Can Will Smith make the transition from DE to OLB?
Can Jonathan Vilma return to form?
Who will step at WR behind Colston, Moore, Morgan?
Who has the best shot of being this year's breakout star?
What happens at left tackle?
Will the Drew Brees of '09/'11 return or the '10/'12 Brees?
How much will having no offseason distractions help?
What impact will Sean Payton's return have?
No. 1: Will the defense return to respectability?
With apologies to Steve Spagnuolo, a nice man and a good coach, his scheme didn't work in New Orleans and that was the single-biggest issue the Saints had in 2012.
Enter Rob Ryan and enter a good chance for the defense to earn its way back to respectability.
Spagnuolo never was able to get the players on the same page and that showed; it has been written about ad nauseam that the Saints gave up an NFL record 7,042 yards last season.
It's hard to believe that'll happen again this year.
More than 10 players remain on the roster from the Gregg Williams days, which while not always great, were better than in 2012.
From 2009-11, Williams' defenses ranked 25th, 4th and 24th and were ranked 14th and then 5th in back-to-back seasons on third downs. And in each of those seasons, the Saints went 13-3, 11-5 and 13-3.
Ryan is coming and bringing the same type of aggressive defensive swagger that was with the unit in the Williams seasons and missing in 2012 under Spagnuolo. They coach from the same system, both bred defensively on Buddy Ryan's style.
Further, Ryan is bringing back some of what was successful under Williams, even using some of the same terminology to help the defense flow more quickly.
As witnessed in 2009 and again in 2011, the defense doesn't have to be great. With New Orleans' offense being as dynamic and explosive as it is, the defense needs to be average at best. It just can't be historically bad.
We see 2012 as an anomaly, not a trend. The defense should return to respectability in 2013.

Motorist who killed PC in hit and run jailed for eight-and-a-half years
Updated 2:15pm Friday 7th February 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
The driver who killed police officer Andrew Duncan in a hit and run has been jailed for eight-and-a-half years.
Gary Bromige, also known as Gary Cody, of Holland Road in South Norwood was driving at more than 80mph in Reigate Avenue, Rosehill, Sutton, when he knocked down PC Duncan in the early hours of Friday, September 20.
Bromige, 25, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while uninsured, causing death while unlicensed, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to report an accident at Kingston Crown Court on December 20.
He was sentended today at the same court.
PC Andrew Duncan
PC Duncan, from East Molesey, was carrying out a routine traffic operation in Reigate Avenue when he and his colleagues spotted a black Volkswagen Golf driving at speed. PC Duncan tried to stop the car, being driven by Bromige, but it drove into him, catapulting him 30 metres along the road.
Married father-of-two PC Duncan, who had been a police officer since 1990, was taken to hospital but died as a result of his injuries on Sunday, September 22.
After hitting PC Duncan, Bromige sped off in the direction of the Rosehill roundabout. The car was found abandoned in Hyde Walk later that morning. Bromige was arrested after handing himself in at Wandsworth Police station on September 20.
He appeared in front of Croydon magistrates on Monday, September 23. The court heard Bromige phone his dad after the collision and said: "Oh s*** I have done it now, I have hit a copper."
The scene of the crash in Reigate Avenue
Following Bromige's guilty plea, Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane said: "On the night of A funeral was held for PC Duncan in East Molesey on October 11. The funeral cortège was escorted to St Mary's Church by police outriders from PC Duncan's unit and uniformed police officers provided a guard of honour as the coffin was carried into the church.
Among the guests at the funeral were London Mayor Boris Johnson and Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Bernard Horgan-Howe.

I have just completed the page for Julia Ann Corel, daughter of Henry Highland Corel and Nancy Matney. The most captivating part of this page, in my opinion, is the detail I found on the company that Willis Myers served with during the Civil War. For those of you who are equally fascinated by the Civil War, I encourage you to read the narrative of Albert R. Greene, "What I saw of the Quantrill Raid" on Google Books starting on page 430. The passage is about 10 pages long, but very fascinating!
My next project will be to update Henry Highland's page with the few details I have about daughters Margaret and Louisa. Then I will likely create another Corels by Chance page for the Parman family, as the Parman's are related through Cosby Jane Corel's line (Rachel Parman is the maternal grandmother of William Justice.) and Rebecca Elizabeth Corel's line (Rebecca is the youngest daughter of Henry Highland, she married Giles Gilbert Parman, son of George Parman and Lydia Myers. Lydia is the sister of Willis Myers who married Julia Ann Corel.). Rachel Parman is an aunt of George Parman and great aunt of Giles Gilbert Parman.
After showing the Parman family, I will do the page for Rebecca Elizabeth Corel that will complete the children of Henry Highland Corel and have me ready to start working on the children of Mary Ester Corel and John Puckett.

As noted by others, the entire beer selection is contained in the walk-in cooler at the back of the store. Bonus points for quality there.
The selection is very disorganized. I had to walk around the cooler several times to get an idea of what was really there. Most of the Wisconsin stuff is in one section, while all the bombers and other big bottles were in one small section together near the local stuff, and there were two other disconnected sections of craft beer. Wow. Quite a mess.
All that being said, the craft selection is very good. Lots of New Glarus (no Unplugged), Capital, Tyranena, Central Waters (including barrel-aged singles), etc., good Michigan selection as well with many Bell's and Dark Horse. Not much Three Floyds on my visit, but a couple of bombers.
I noted a few older beers around, but most things seemed to be quite fresh. With the added insurance of constant refrigeration, I was pleased. Clerk at the front of the store was quite beer-saavy, and we had a nice chat about the local scene.

Found this place today while poking around the area. As soon as I saw the name, I realized that I had already seen it in the Beerfly but I couldn't remember whether I'd read good or bad about it.
When I walked inside, the first thing I noticed was...where's the beer? I finally found a small stack of Leinenkugel products in the back of the store when I realized I was standing right next to a walk in cooler door, so I walked in.
Once inside, I noticed that there seemed to be a hell of a lot of malternatives and I was starting to feel dejected about the lack of beer. That is, until I started walking around....It was a huge cooler.
Well, I spent some (frigid) minutes in the cooler (probably where the name "Chill Zone" came from to begin with) and eventually came to the realization that there was WAY more beer in there than I thought.
They had tons and tons of Bell's beers, including some Expedition Stout. Also, some 3F's including Pride and Joy, Alpha King and Robert the Bruce.
There also seemed to be a mess of imports but here's the rub....organization was totally lacking so I literally had to look at every single item on the shelf in order not to miss anything. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for the display. Nothing was organized by brewery OR beer style. Stuff was mixed all over the place.
I really could have used a nice winter parka in there but I don't consider that to be a detriment. ;-)
Overall, I was very pleased with what I found and I WILL return upon my next visit to the area. Considering how close this place is to US 151, it's pretty likely I'll also stop on my visits to Madison since this place is right on the way.
Oh, and before I forget, prices seemed just about right. No great deals to be had from what I saw but nothing seemed to be overpriced either.

It might be named the chill zone because ALL their beer resides in a giant walk-in cooler that is cold enough to make you want to grab your beer and get the hell out. Large selection of WI and domestic micros, a few of the more well-known German imports and virtually no single bottles save a few Lindemann's and New Glarus. It's unlikely you'll find any thing special here but if you're into picking up a couple sixers that have been stored in excellent conditions this is your place. If you plan on browsing make sure you wear your buffalo hide parka.

Late in the first period, with New Jersey on the powerplay, Ilya Kovalchuk shot the puck hard towards the net. It deflected a few times and beat Carolina goaltender Cam Ward.
The only problem was, it happened too fast. The goal judge didn't turn on the light, and the officials on the ice waved it off. The puck had come right back out into traffic, and New Jersey was still on the powerplay, so the players kept playing. They would have to wait for a stoppage for the goal to be reviewed.
They would have to wait for while, as it turned out.
The arena fell silent, and play became weird and half-hearted as the players kept going in this uncanny, Twilight Zone ghost time. The Devils had several more quality scoring chances during the three minutes it took for the next stoppage to occur. If they had scored or if a player had taken a penalty during this time-that-wasn't, all of it would have been erased once the goal was finally reviewed and declared official, and three minutes were added back on to the game clock.
That was one powerful shot, Kovy.

Food tends to looks delicious in ads, so scrumptious that every morsel is just screaming, "savor me!"
But when you actually get that heroic meal in front of you -- it's a total let down.
Blame puffery. Puffery is the legal term that allows advertisers to exaggerate, to a point, their products in ads.
"It's really considered the norm," said Erika Matulich, a marketing professor at The University of Tampa.
Matulich said today's ads, as over the top as they might seem, are much more tame (and realistic) than those of the past.
"If you research the history of advertising," she said," it's been far less than honest, which is why we have a lot of advertising laws nowadays."
Matulich says Puffery is so pervasive in modern advertising that consumers dislike ads which lack puffery—even though we know they'll be a letdown.
"The marketers have trained the consumer," she said. "So now we have a different set of expectations."
That's fantastic news for Kat Barrott. She is the most unusual of chefs: she is completely unconcerned with smell and taste.
"My eye on the prize is: what looks good and for how long," she said.
Barrott is a food stylist, the kind of chef whose profession is puffery. On TV sets and photo shoots for national audiences, Barrott is backstage primping anything edible.
"I'm behind the scenes," she said.
The irony of Barrott's work is that much of the food she styles for broadcast and publication is completely inedible.
"You do not want to eat food from a food stylist," she said.
A breakfast plate Barrott whipped up in our studios had the glossiness and perfection of a national ad. Yet the egg whites were bulked up by a cotton make-up pad, the egg yolk was raw, the potatoes were only half cooked (so they didn't shrivel), the strawberry garnish had been coated in oil (to glisten), and the ice in the orange juice was something she said was toxic—a secret brew (so the ice didn't melt).
"I'm not giving that one up," she said.
Other TV kitchen tricks include using motor oil as a substitute for syrup and cake frosting to fake fickle ice cream, Barrott said.
Barrott concedes puffery is part embellishment, but says it is also part practical. She said professional photo shoots can drag on for hours, which isn't practical with real-life food that will wilt, wither, or otherwise rot under the glare of hot studio lights.
For example. Barrott said food that is photographed outside is usually coated in insecticide.
"It's almost guaranteed to have bug spray," she said.
Barrott takes pride in her uniquely visual corner of culinary arts. She'll take credit for her work, but leaves fame to her food.
With that she ducks away from the studio lights, "hopefully never to be seen," she jokes.

Flu season is coming early in parts of the United States: This time last year, flu cases were lower in nearby Norcross than they are now, according to estimates on Google's Flu Trends. (Gwinnett-County-specific data is not available.)
Overall in Georgia, activity is considered intense now, while it was considered moderate at this time in 2011, according to Flu Trends. Flu Trends is a Google tool that uses aggregated search data to estimate flu activity.
If you're considering getting a flu shot, you can find where to get one here or by typing in your ZIP Code in the box above.
According to this week's CDC Flu activity report, influenza levels are on the increase across the country.
Five states – Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee – are reporting flu rates not normally seen until January, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The flu season normally peaks in January and February.
Holiday travel and more time spent indoors due to soggy weather will contribute to the spread of the flu virus, so now is the time to get vaccinated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following information:

With the Chicago Cubs already ruling out a fan-favorite, Ryne Sandberg, for their managerial opening, the St. Louis Cardinals are going in the other direction, bringing in beloved ex-Cardinal Mike Matheny for a job interview. From MLB.com:
A third name, but not a fourth, was added to the Cardinals' list of interviewees for their vacant manager's job on Friday. Former Redbirds catcher Mike Matheny, who currently serves as a special assistant to general manager John Mozeliak, interviewed on Friday, a Cardinals source said.
Matheny isn't exactly a Hall-of-Famer like Sandberg, but he's still popular in St. Louis, where the four-time Gold Glove winner played for five seasons. He retired suddenly at the age of 35 because of concussions he suffered on foul tips to his catcher's mask, and he currently works in the Cardinals' front office.
His coaching and managerial experience? None, other than working as a roving catching instructor in the St. Louis organization. A lack of experience is what cost Sandberg a shot at the Cubs' job, but apparently the Cardinals are willing to be a little more open-minded. They even interviewed Joe McEwing on Thursday, though because of a miscommunication, McEwing actually thought he was interview for the Tony La Russa Memorial Pet Utility Infielder position, which is no longer available.

What's up with KPFA?
by Tracy Rosenberg
Subscribers to KPFA know that election season has begun, with ballots and postcards arriving on their doorsteps. What should members do?
There's a really short answer. Don't vote for the Save KPFA – Concerned Listeners – candidates. Any of them. No matter what.
Save KPFA, whose real name is Concerned Listeners, has run KPFA into the ground. They dominated the board for two years in 2008-2009, passed budgets calling for staff layoffs due to declining contributions, and then sat on their hands like a bunch of sheep for 15 months while the reductions didn't happen.
The station blew through a million dollars in less than a year and a half. A million dollars in listener donations. All the cash in the bank.
It's a disaster.
These are the same people who blocked an investigation into the beating of Nadra Foster, a volunteer for over 10 years, on bogus charges of trespassing.
The same people running a slate that is 70 percent white, 70 percent male and 80 percent over the age of 70 are accusing their far more diverse opponents of favoring "ethnic cleansing" at KPFA.
They are advocates for irresponsibility, lying to the voters and dereliction of duty. That is their track record on KPFA's board.
There is an alternative. Independents for Community Radio has assembled a great, diverse team of organizers, academics, labor activists and radio professionals to get a grip on things and revitalize KPFA. More at http://www.voteindyradio.org.
Vote Indyradio!
We stand for opening the place up to more and more radical voices, practicing diversity and not just talking about it, financial sustainability and respect for volunteer workers, and a Program Council that makes collaborative decisions about what's on the air.
Here are the listener candidates affiliated with Independents for Community Radio (ICR) in alphabetical order:
Stephen Astourian Ph.D., UC-Berkeley Department of History, Chair of the Armenian Studies Department
Naeem Deskins, Western Regional Vice President of the Association for the Study of Classical Civilizations, small-business owner, activist for the African diaspora, dear friend of Africa Today host Walter Turner
Georgia Frazier, former National Sales Manager at KJAZ Radio, former Vice President of American Women in Radio and Television, Goldman School of Public Policy, UC Berkeley
Monadel Herzallah, Founder and President of the Arab-American Union Members Council, Coordinating Committee for the US-Palestinian Community Network, Lead Organizer for Justice for Janitors
Cynthia Johnson, Chair of the Berkeley Federation of Unitarian Universalists Social Justice Committee
Hyun-Mi Kim, Immigrant rights and feminist organizer
Janet Kobren, Freedom Flotilla survivor
Tracy Rosenberg, Executive Director of Media Alliance, Member of the Pacifica Foundation Board of Directors, Media and Democracy Coalition Board of Directors and Alliance for Community Media Western Regional Board of Directors
Gina Szeto, Director of the Worker Rights Clinic, Boalt School of Law, Executive Editor of the Asian-American Law Journal
Kate Tanaka, Alameda Green Party, Lead Organizer of the Oak-to-Ninth Campaign
These are the ICR-affiliated candidates to represent the KPFA staff:
Shahram Aghamir, Producer of Voices of the Middle East and North Africa, Member of the Pacifica Foundation National Board
Gabrielle Wilson, Co-Host of The Gospel Experience

Power grab try by phony SaveKPFA faction
by Jeff Blankfort
I have just seen a copy of a slick, expensive mailing piece put out by a group that calls itself SaveKPFA. This represents nothing more than a duplicitous attempt at grabbing power by a number of people who were conspicuously absent from the struggle to actually save KPFA and Pacifica from a COINTEL-type attack in the mid-'90s initiated by then Pacifica Executive Director Pat Scott, who had formerly been a close political ally of at least half of those claiming to represent SaveKPFA.
I use the terms "duplicitous" and "claiming" for one very good reason. In 1993, I was one of two co-founders of the original and genuine SaveKPFA. It was intended to combat what was clearly a drive toward NPRization of the network, which included applying for six figure grants from several of the major foundations, none of which, happily, did it receive.
SaveKPFA enlarged, opened a DBA bank account and held a number of meetings at Ashkenaz. And in 1995, following the purge of close to a 100 radical programmers, it morphed into Take Back KPFA, of which I, again, was one of its founders. As a part of that purge and to "professionalize" the on-air sound, the present state Attorney General Jerry Brown was given five one-hour programs per week, replacing five of those purged, including the late Mama O'Shea. He used his show as a launching pad to run for mayor of Oakland.
During all this time, not only did not a single one of this phony SaveKPFA slate step forward to criticize KPFA and Pacifica management but, sadly, ALL those members of the KPFA staff who are now endorsing the SaveKPFA slate actively collaborated with Pat Scott and then manager Marci Lockwood. And even when Mary Francis Berry boarded up the station in 1999, their resistance was at best tepid. Their names are all too familiar to KPFA listeners even if their contemptible behavior, unfortunately, is not.
In short, this phony SaveKPFA slate represents a group of political dinosaurs who have been trying to take over KPFA for years, having failed in every other effort they have engaged in. It is time to remember the slogan of the Spanish civil war when it comes to the KPFA election: "No Pasaran!" ("They shall not pass!").

kudos to both Tracy & Jeff for putting the history in such a good perspectivr. Yes we gotta "get out da brooms" & do some genuine housecleaning once & for all .
The station has been looked upon as a cash cow for too many for too long.
Clean them & obsolete models out!
I have a plan that will work that no one wants to admit would work but no one has tried so why not????
Re-convert Pacifica from its marginal status as a non-functioning "network" and become, once again a GROUP of the Best community stations in the nation (after all, we once wrote the book on the subject.)
Also strip the station of paid programmers. This model, introduced in 1970 to, are you ready for this — attract more listeners.
The result has not been enough to sustain all those paid programmers.
In addition, it created a climate of entitlement for many in the station that being paid as a programmer is the goal.
The climate has thus created a two-tiered system of "the anointed few" and those wanting to be "paid staff" programmers. And some of these "anointed" ones are real snotty twerps.
But all the paid spots are hand picked by closed cabals.
The assumption that this institution had the bucks and organizational structure to sustain these programmers, which it did not and does not have, has been a cruel joke on the foundation and the listening community.
Paid programmers have been a poor solution to a long term problem: good radio at a grass-roots, community level. Can be done and has been done in many places with the bloated model that pacifica carries like a monkey around its neck. When I arrived at KPFA in 1968 the average tenure of a paid staff member was a little over 5 years. we had NO paid programmers, as such, and our relationship with the community was excellent compared to now.
And we had a focus, not the dissaped sound of today.
KPFA was never set up to be a bunch of folks lifelong careers. It has suffered in the process.

Paid programmers have been a poor solution to a long term problem: good radio at a grass-roots, community level. Can be done and has been done in many places WITHOUT the bloated model that Pacifica carries like a monkey around its neck.

Chris Stehlik
This issue of paid programmers seems to be coming up at each election period.
Do you think that KPFA should get rid of all paid programmers ?
Do Tracy Rosenberg and ICR support getting rid of all paid programmers? (which would include many daytime programmers, including the News and Flashpoints)↓

Right on Rosenberg!↓

A speeding Jeep led a Pinal County Sheriff's deputy to more than 200 pounds of marijuana jammed inside, one arrest and one escapee Sunday.
A Pinal County Sheriff's Office spokesman said the deputy clocked the Jeep doing 90 mph in a 55-mph zone on Arizona Highway 84 near Casa Grande about 7:30 a.m.
The driver slowed the vehicle for a short distance but accelerated as it turned north on State Route 347 before abruptly stopping, the spokesman said.
A man in camouflage clothing jumped from the passenger door and ran into the desert while the driver, later identified as Alejandro Ruiz of Phoenix, was questioned by the deputy, the spokesman said.
Ruiz, 22, was asked if anything was illegal in the Jeep and replied there was "some marijuana," the spokesman said.
The deputy said he saw several bundles of marijuana inside the Jeep. They weighed 212 pounds with a street value of $159,000, the spokesman said.
Ruiz was booked into the Pinal County Jail for transportation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and possession of marijuana, the spokesman said.
The passenger escaped into the desert, the spokesman said.

PPI: Do You Have It, and How Much Does It Really Cost You?
September 5, 2012 | Posted By: Kelsey Pennington | Categorized in: Finance
Payment protection insurance is meant to prevent people from getting in over their heads when the unexpected happens, and a good PPI plan is a godsend when there's no other way to make ends meet. However, it's not a net gain for everyone, and some people don't even know they're paying for it. Some lenders hard sell PPI, and others attach it to loans without explicitly telling borrowers that it's part of the package. Neither practice is ethical, and it's almost always an indication that the loan someone has gotten is far worse than what he could get. In other cases, the value of PPI may be outpaced by savings and other financial tactics, and each person needs to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of PPI before sinking a lot of money into a payment insurance policy.
Unethical LendersPPI exists for two reasons: to protect individuals and to protect lenders. It's almost always in the lender's best interest to have clients who purchase PPI. Banks also stand to make a lot of money from the monthly premiums, and just like with other forms of insurance, the ideal situation is one where the individual covered by the policy never has to cash it out. What that means is that certain lenders try to push policies onto their customers that are laden with so many exemptions that very few people who actually need PPI will be able to benefit from it, and it's much more likely that someone will end up with a PPI policy whether they want one or not. The best way for borrowers to protect themselves is to read the fine print and to run far away from aggressive lenders.
The Cost of ExemptionsPPI policies cover monthly payments for one year or longer when someone is unable to make any income, but that only applies under certain conditions. Some policies won't cover unemployment. Almost every PPI policy will cover someone in the event that he sustains an injury and becomes temporarily disabled, but some policies place limits on the extent of the injuries they will cover, and some medical conditions aren't covered at all. This is primarily what determines whether a certain PPI policy is a good investment. If the most likely cause of lost income is a pre-existing condition that relates to something more severe that a PPI policy won't cover, it would be better to rely on savings instead.
When PPI MattersSomeone who does physical labor for a living is almost always better off with a PPI policy. Physical injuries are far more likely to happen on a construction site than in nearly any other kind of workplace, and having some kind of coverage can drastically reduce the amount of stress that's incurred during the recovery phase. PPI doesn't generally cover permanent injuries, however; that's what things like mortgage life insurance plans are for.
Recovering Money From PPISomeone who has been wrongfully sold PPI can get quite a bit of money back by simply calling out what his lender has done. The process is a bit different depending on the exact nature of the grievance, the information on hand and the amount of time that's passed, but people who have purchased PPI under false pretenses can almost always get something back without contacting a claims handler.
PPI is a Great Product for Some PeoplePeople who make far more money than they're sinking into loans would probably be best off saving a large chunk of their cash in case anything comes up, but people who put 30 percent of their income toward their monthly debt payments could benefit immensely from the right PPI policy. The most important thing is to pick something that covers as many contingencies as possible, and to choose a lender that's honest and up front about payment protection insurance. With the right strategy, PPI can be a huge boon for people who are trying to build a stable financial future.

CRISFIELD, Md. - Last year, the Crisfield Crab Derby was marred by gang-related violence just blocks away from the event.
Three consecutive days of violence, starting with incidents on Friday, according to Crisfield police chief Mike Tabor.
"We had a stabbing, we had a shooting,
followed by another shots fired at a house, which all occurred in the Crisfield Housing Authority in the Somers Cove Apartments," said Tabor.
During the Labor Day weekend, the city imposed curfew at the Somers Cove Apartments, just blocks away from the marina, the site of the annual Crab Derby.
This year, police are stepping up security.Tabor says a lot of "emphasis is placed on making sure everyone is town is safe."
First, the department is utilizing security cameras around the housing authority. This weekend, Crisfield is calling in four neighboring units: Maryland State Police, Somerset County Sheriff's Office, Princess Anne and Pocomoke City police stations. It's a move residents say will help keep the weekend running smoothly.
"I think everything will be stepped up and everybody will be safe," said Deondre
With extra force around the city, the Crisfield Chamber of Commerce hopes to put last year behind them and move on to an event that reportedly brings "tens of thousands of dollars" into city, according to director Valerie Howard.
"We've been meeting on Crab Derby for months now and [last year's shooting and curfew] has never been an issue," said Howard. "It's never been brought up.
"It's in the past and that's where we put it and we're moving forward so, non issue."
Police will be walking through the Crisfield Housing Authority as apart of their non-violence initiative. It's what Tabor says police did after the last year's shooting to talk to residents about any concerns and ongoing issues.

Your lens is coated with UV layer. I have B&W Clear Filter on my lenses:
Practically speaking, for a dSLR there is no difference between a UV filter and a clear filter - my advice is to get whichever one is cheaper. That does vary based on size, vendor, and geography. For example, here are some prices from Amazon.com today:
- B+W 77mm XS-Pro MRC Nano Clear 007M - $115
- B+W 77mm XS-Pro MRC Nano UV 010M - $73
- B+W 82mm XS-Pro MRC Nano Clear 010M - $126
- B+W 82mm XS-Pro MRC Nano UV 010M - $253
So, if I wanted to purchase from Amazon.com, for a 24-70mm MkI which takes 77mm filters, I'd get the UV filter and save $42, and for a 24-70 MkII which takes 82mm filters, I'd get the Clear filter and save $127.

Back pain may be rooted in the way you perform everyday activities. Here are the dos and don'ts for good back health.
« Previous | 1 of 5 | Next »
Lifting Heavy ObjectsDo
- Keep the object close to you by positioning it between your legs before lifting.
- Keep a wide base of support by spreading your legs at least a couple of feet apart, and by keeping one foot in front of the other.
- Bend from your back when lifting. Instead, bend from your knees and hips, keeping your back upright at all times. If the object is too heavy, get help.

Cisco Systems has given pink slips to 600 of its employees in India as part of its restructuring process.
Cisco had in July announced that 1,300 employees globally are being asked to go because of a slump in enterprise business as well as the ongoing acquisition integration issues. In a similar exercise last year, Cisco reportedly let go 11,000 employees.
The company clarified that the global restructuring exercise announced on July 21 does not impact employees of NDS, the video software and content security solutions firm, recently acquired by Cisco.
Cisco has a total of 65,000 employees but the company does not give out country-wise break-up. In India, it has four R&D centres in Bangalore and six sales offices. In March, Cisco acquired NDS with a workforce of 1,600 engineers in its Bangalore R&D centre.
The company has given pink slips to engineers working in R&D, switching, data centre and some sales professionals too. "Initially, we were told that no one will lose their jobs after the acquisition but later, we were asked to leave," said an employee.
When contacted, a Cisco spokesperson said: "Cisco routinely reviews its business to determine where we need to align investment based on growth opportunities. Additionally, we continue to evaluate our organisational structure as part of our plan to drive simplicity, speed of decisions and agility across Cisco."
"As we focus on both of these efforts, we are performing a focused set of limited restructurings that will impact approximately 2 per cent of our global employee population."
"These actions are part of a continuous process of simplifying the company, as well as assessing the economic environment in certain parts of the world," the spokesperson added.
In a third quarter analyst call, Cisco CEO John Chambers pointed out that the company continued to see weakness in India and its global enterprise business segment was down 1 per cent compared with the previous quarter.

The 30 software tutorials listed below are publications of the UF/IFAS Department of Entomology and Nematology. These tutorials were developed to enhance the training of personnel in various industries and or anyone interested in insects and other arthropods.
In addition, these computer-verified training tutorials are authorized by Florida for one (1) CEU each in various categories for recertification of certified pesticide applicators. See the file on CEU Tutorials for details. Some tutorials may also be authoized for CEUs in other states.
The tutorials each consist of 50 questions accompanied by text and full-color graphics and photographs. Each tutorial can be completed within 50 to 60 minutes. A passing score of 90% is required to earn the CEU, but the tutorials may be retaken as often as necessary to achieve that score.
However, these Tutorials WILL NOT WORK on the newer 64-bit systems.

Questions 1 and 50 provide information on using the test and applying for CEUs (if desired). The text for answering the questions, using the program and applying for CEUs can be printed from within the program. This allows students the option of handling printed material, as well as electronic information, to answer the questions.
Questions answered correctly provide the student with additional information not found under the Info Text button. The student is not tested on this additional information. Questions answered incorrectly provide the student with the correct answer, and often with additional information that helps the student understand the subject better.
Simple instructions for printing the test results are provided under the Intro Text button of Questions 1 and 50. Students can print these instructions off from within the tutorials. The tutorial can be used over and over again for instruction without requiring a student to print the results.
Only after students have answered all 50 questions are they prompted to enter their name into a pop-up screen. They can then proceed to access their test results.
To apply for CEUs in Florida see below. For other states click here.
To apply for CEUs, the student must pass the test (90% score required - see above) and:
All the above instructions for taking the test, and submitting the form for CEUs are available through the Intro Text buttons of Questions 1 and 50 within the tutorial and may be printed out while within the tutorial.

Give annual "State of the World" address
"I'll give an annual 'State of the World' address to the American people in which I lay out our national security policy."
Subjects: Foreign Policy, Transparency
Six years after promise, still no 'State of the World' address
Updated: Thursday, October 31st, 2013 | By Lilly Maier
In a foreign policy speech on October 2, 2007 then-candidate Barack Obama talked about starting a "new era of openness." As one example, he promised to deliver an annual "State of the World" address in which he would outline the United States' foreign policy.
It's been more than six years since Obama made that promise, almost five years since he took office, and nearly four years since we last looked at this promise (and rated it a Promise Broken). So we decided it was time to take a look again.
Obama regularly addresses foreign affairs issues in speeches, statements, press releases and interviews – the VoteSmart database, an archive for public statements, lists almost 800 such examples since Obama became president in 2009.
Obama addresses foreign policy or national security in many speeches when he travels abroad, most recently in St. Petersburg, Russia, or in Berlin. He also delivers some back home, such as his address to the nation on Syria from the White House or his remarks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, both in September, 2013.
But none of those speeches was ever called or defined as a "State of the World" address. Our extensive searches of the White House Web site, an archive of Obama's speeches on VoteSmart.org and Google found no speeches by the name.
The website for a local CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., dubbed Obama's final U.N. speech before the 2012 election his "final 'State of the World' address," but the article doesn't explain this choice of words, and as far as we can tell, they just meant it as a catchy headline.
When we reached out to the White House, the press office confirmed that Obama "has not delivered regular 'State of the World speeches' as envisioned in 2007." Besides his numerous other speeches on foreign policy, they pointed out that Obama discusses his "key national security priorities" in his annual State of the Union address.
After five years as president, Obama still hasn't delivered a single one of his annual "State of the World" addresses. And there is no sign that he ever will. This one stays at Promise Broken.

No speech in first year
Updated: Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 | By Lukas Pleva
It's been a month since our last update on President Obama's campaign promise to deliver an annual "State of the World" address, a speech in which he would seek to outline the guiding principles of U.S. foreign policy.
At the time, we found that though President Obama has made several foreign policy speeches, none of these were ever advertised by the White House as a "State of the World" address. Our extensive searches through Google, VoteSmart, and White House archives found no such speech. We rated the promise Stalled, since President Obama still had a month left before he hit the one-year mark since taking office.
Now, at the one-year mark since Obama was sworn in, we again checked the White House Web site, Google, and the VoteSmart database, and found he still hasn't given the speech and there are no plans to give it. In fact, the only foreign policy-related speeches that President Obama has made since December 2009 were his remarks on recovery efforts after the earthquake in Haiti.
He's had a year but hasn't given the speech. So we rate this one a Promise Broken.

No speech yet
Updated: Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009 | By Lukas Pleva
During the campaign, Barack Obama promised to deliver an annual "State of the World" address. The speech appears conceptually similar to the annual State of the Union address, during which the president reports on the condition of the nation and outlines his legislative priorities.
Since taking office, President Obama has given many speeches on a wide variety of subjects, including foreign policy. Among the most significant of these are the Dec. 1, 2009, remarks at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., on the future of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Pakistan; the June 4, 2009, speech in Cairo, Egypt, on the relationship between United States and the Muslim world; and the Dec. 10, 2009, speech that President Obama delivered in Oslo, Norway, while accepting his Nobel Peace Prize.
But none of those speeches was billed as his "state of the world" speech. A search of the White House Web site and an archive of Obama's speeches on VoteSmart.org found no speeches by the name.
Obama still has one month left to keep this promise, but we see no signs of action. So we're going to rate it Stalled.

For runners of all abilities.
Running is one of the oldest and most natural of human activities, yet many of us experience it as an activity that causes injuries. As Danny Dreyer, founder of ChiRunning, says, "It's not running that hurts your body. It's the way you run that does the damage."
Come learn a revolutionary running technique that combines the inner focus of tai chi with running. By blending body alignment with relaxation, you learn to run with ease and fluidity, transforming running from a sport to a mindful practice. Designed for all abilities, from total beginners to seasoned runners, this program makes the ChiRunning experience fun and easy to grasp. No matter how you're running now, you'll be running with much less effort when you leave the workshop.
This Level 2 introduction takes your workouts to the next level, helping you to master pelvic rotation, do a speed workout, work more efficiently on hills, and focus on cadence.

Taxpayers left in the rubble of failure
---- — The Republicans have it right this time.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (along with scores of other government-funded programs) is out of control. The recent vote to slash $40 billion in food stamp aid has been a long time coming.
The bill, said Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., "eliminates loopholes, ensures work requirements, and puts us on a fiscally responsible path."
On the other side of the aisle stands Jackie Speier, the Democrat from California, who claimed she is a member of the "least productive Congress in the history of this country."
Speier said that she is ashamed of that, adding "when a government becomes a government in spite of the people, then who are we really serving?"
I have the answer to that question.
You are serving the taxpayers, who for many years now — many more than I care to count — have been doling out their hard-earned dollars to the government. The government, in turn, is doling out our money to those who are taking advantage of the system.
According to recent statistics, the number of non-citizens on food stamps has quadrupled since 2001 from 425,000 to 1.6 million. And if that doesn't wake you up, consider that in 2012, Massachusetts and New York administered food stamps to 2,000 dead people.
The food stamp program is just one of many examples of government programs gone awry.
If you are wondering why your paychecks are shrinking and more importantly, where your money is going, I invite you to visit USA.spending.gov.
The website, created (oddly enough) by the government, lists all agencies and groups receiving tax dollars for the present fiscal year.
Along with funding the Department of Homeland Security ($1.2 million), the National Science Foundation ($437 million), and the Smithsonian Institution ($350.4 million), our tax dollars support, get this, the government accountability office ($5.6 million).
The government accountability office?
Are you kidding me?
After the recent government shutdown shenanigans via members of Congress and the Senate, I am wondering if it would be prudent for the folks working in the government accountability office to intercede and remedy the reprehensible situation in which we find ourselves.
When pondering the fate of my tax dollars, I often think about Abraham Lincoln: "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Where is Abraham Lincoln when you need him?
Soon, it really will not matter, though, will it?
Soon it will not matter if loopholes are eliminated, because the fiscally responsible path will have been covered with the debris of combative voices, arrogance, and hardened hearts.
Soon it will not matter if this Congress is the least productive Congress in the history of this country, because the country will have become a mere shadow of its former self.
The United States of America, sadly enough, is the laughingstock of the world. While members of Congress and the Senate act like spoiled children pushing one another off the monkey bars on the playground, our taxpayer dollars are being frittered away on every level and with great rapidity.
Meanwhile, the president, the man in charge of what once was the greatest nation in the world, refuses to "negotiate."
God help us.

Written by Sofia Barrera
Agnes is hidden away by trees and beautiful lawns, but it's within walking distance from the wonderful town of Decatur. Decatur is a great place with interesting restaurants and shops that are five to 10 minutes away by walking. The town is accommodating to college students in the sense that there are plenty of places at which to study, hang out, or eat. Agnes is also a 10-minute drive or train ride from Atlanta, so there's always plenty to do in regards to shopping, spending time in Piedmont Park, going to the High Museum, or catching a movie. Most people at Agnes will go off campus at night, especially on the weekends. If an Agnes woman isn't spending her free time studying, then she's most likely in Decatur or Atlanta.
Decatur and DeKalb County are places where there are mixed safety concerns, depending on the area. The city of Decatur itself is extremely safe, but the extremities of the city aren't as safe, so traveling alone isn't always the best idea. Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and Emory are relatively close to Agnes, but in order to get to any of these other places, you'll have to take a bus, train, or car. There are always opportunities to go to other campuses, be the reason academic or purely recreational.
