In an environment where everyone was expecting that Bruins coach Claude Julien and his staff could be near their end of days had the Bruins not made their miracle comeback Monday in Game 7 against Toronto, general manager Peter Chiarelli obviously wanted to restate his confidence in those he's placed behind his team's bench to steer this club into the second round and beyond.
Carlyle's lobbying on faceoffs flies in face of Bruins' Julien
The Bruins have won 58 percent of the draws through three games of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against Toronto.
In the aftermath of the Bruins taking a 2-1 series lead Monday night in Game 3, there was some talk about cheating on the draws, and center Tyler Bozak even admitted that the Bruins were just cheating better than him.
Julien follows players' lead by re-upping with Bruins
Most of his players from the last couple seasons' worth of rosters have done it, so why not the coach?
Following in the footsteps of the majority of his key Bruins players, head coach Claude Julien today agreed to a multi-year contract extension with the club.
Bruins president Neely with expected vote of confidence for Chiarelli, Julien
BOSTON — No one was expected Bruins president Cam Neely to bring out his hatchet during his end-of-year media conference at TD Garden Thursday and chop away everyone involved in Boston's first-round flameout a week ago against Washington.
And in fact, Neely expressed confidence and approval when it came to the performance of his head coach and general manager.
Julien on Hunter accusing Bruins of head-hunting: 'ludicrous'
Even before he learned that he would be without star center Nicklas Backstrom due to a one-game suspension for cross checking Rich Peverley in the head, Washington head coach Dale Hunter came out with the claims that Backstrom was protecting himself and that the Bruins were targeting Backstrom's head in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series between the teams.
Today Bruins head coach Claude Julien had a chance to respond to Hunter's comments on the second off day before tomorrow night's Game 4, with the Bruins now leading the series, 2-1.
Bruins' Julien on unilingual Cunneyworth: 'I feel for him a little bit'
WILMINGTON, Mass. — Just because the Bruins and Montreal Canadiens are mortal enemies doesn't mean there isn't room for some empathy between members of both organizations.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien, who is bilingual but was still once fired as coach of the Habs, can see both sides of the situation involving Randy Cunneyworth and the issue of him not speaking French. Cunneyworth was hired last month as interim head coach after the firing of Jacques Martin.
Video: Bruins coach Julien's daughter steals Stanley Cup show
Here's a short video to cheer you up on a gloomy Sunday morning.
Julien predicts Pouliot, Corvo will fit well with Bruins' lineup
WILMINGTON, Mass — Bruins head coach Claude Julien took in a couple sessions of the team's development camp over the last couple days at Ristuccia Arena.
Even away from the rink, Bruins' Julien drives the bus
Regardless of what you think about his system or personality, there's no denying that Bruins head coach Claude Julien can now be counted among the best leaders of men in sports.
Julien ready for Bruins to do it all over again
BOSTON — The days of speculating about his job security are long over.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien is fully ensconced in his job now that he's led the organization to its first Stanley Cup championship in 39 years.
Francona's message for Bruins' Julien keeps coaching frat going
VANCOUVER — The coaches and one manager of Boston's four major sports teams keep close tabs on one another over the course of the seasons.
Consistent message but different strategy for Bruins entering Game 7
VANCOUVER — Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, which will be played here at Rogers Arena tomorrow night, is not time for radical changes from what the Bruins have done most of the season to get this close to ultimate glory.
Calm Claude has kept Bruins focused, now could wind up with Cup
BOSTON – If any member of the Bruins' roster had the proper training and was then asked to defuse a bomb as the time ticked down toward explosion, you'd want him to be coached by Claude Julien.
Julien proves he's not hypocrite when it comes to Bruins' finger taunts
BOSTON — Much to the chagrin of my new-found Vancouver readers who were all in a tizzy when they watched Mark Recchi and Milan Lucic both wave their fingers at Vancouver biter Alex Burrows, head coach Claude Julien didn't condone the actions of his players.
Bruins' Julien says Canucks' taunts make mockery of NHL decision
BOSTON — Bruins head coach Claude Julien didn't want to comment on Vancouver center Maxim Lapierre's decision to taunt Patrice Bergeron by sticking his fingers in the Bruins center's face during Saturday night's Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Changing Definition of Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. – Fowler 2006.
Continuous Integration has traditionally been discussed as a development practice. Unlike past CITCON events I've attended, we never really attempted to define CI. However, the conference was light on discussions of developer behavior. Despite being dominated by build engineers and developers, the conference focused on deployment and testing practices (particularly automated testing).
When we discussed what CI tools are supposed to do, we included deploying to QA servers to help the team get rapid feedback from manual testers about the quality of the build. We explored systems good enough at evaluating build quality to automatically release them into production. Through all this, the assumption was that this was in the domain of continuous integration tools.
CI may still be a development practice, but the crowd deemed continuous integration tools to have far broader goals. What gives?
I think we saw two major trends play out in the CI space over the past seven or eight years. The first is that the goal to rapidly determine the quality of our build led teams to pull in additional information sources. Teams wanted to extend testing from the compile, to unit testing, to static analysis, to smoke testing, to regression testing, to performance testing, to stress testing, and even try to include manual test results. And they added each processes one by one into their CI systems. As this happened, most teams wanted to break away from activities that are traditionally close to development and to those that happen later in the application lifecycle.
The second trend is that early adopters of continuous integration tools benefited from the automation features the tools provided. They looked at other tasks similar automation could help with like deploying applications, restarting servers, and even releasing to production. They then integrated those processes into their CI systems.
Continuous integration slowly stopped being focused on continuously integrating code, and more about integrating the work done by our development, test and release teams.
The CI development practice is great. So is automation throughout the application lifecycle. They aren't the same thing, but today they have the same name. When someone on your team suggests adopting CI, ask them what they mean. If they're leaving out either the development process of frequent integration of code or organizational integration through automation, work with them to figure out everything your team can benefit from.

Definitely agree. See e.g. the plugins for Hudson that provide support for generating a release in a controlled environment, just pushing a button. Maybe we should start calling it CLM (Continuous Lifecycle Management)?
Eric Minick replied on Wed, 2009/04/29 - 10:00am
Continuous Lifecycle Management? Not too shabby. We've floated things like End-to-End CI and Application Lifecycle Automation. That darn "Continuous Integration" term keeps sticking around, and I think we're about ready to give up on trying to call it anything else. You really do need to ask people what they mean though.
The neat thing at the conference was that as it got underway and attendees were suggesting topics to cover, you could tell that pushing CI down the lifecycle was really becoming normal, or at least a normal goal.
What a relief. The first question on the AnthillPro mailing list from 2003 was about reproducible deployments. It's been a long time getting to this point, but I think the industry is there (or almost there).

Two Political Parties For The Prices Of $1,188,644,055
Original post made by GX on Oct 10, 2011
Web Link
That is nearly $1.2 Billion split between the two parties. And look who the top two were - Obama and Bush.
Is it any wonder we can't get a decent financial reform bill passed - one that would actually deal with the root causes of the previous crisis, not the joke of the one we got? Is it any wonder none of the big issues are being solved?
on Oct 10, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Keep it coming GX. Great stuff. People have to at least start talking about this before anything can happen to fix it.
on Oct 11, 2011 at 8:39 am
Not good, but compared to the bigger picture, even if this money were paid directly to the federal govt to pay down the debt, its impact would be not much more than a rounding error. How do you propose we change this paradigm?
on Oct 11, 2011 at 9:57 am
Steve - I agree that our Federal fiscal situation is a much bigger issue. But I believe it is important that we start to disect the reasons for all the dysfunction coming out of Washington and the fact that we can't craft credible solutions for obvious problems. Problems that will continue to erode this once-great country.
It is long past time to hold our leaders accountable. And this Republican/Democrat barb fest is not helping anyone. Both political parties as they are structured today are failing the American people.

General Decorating
open concept space planning (new pic added)
disclaimer: the photos you are about to see represent a transitional period. We are still unpacking boxes and finding places for everything.
This house has a wonderful open concept main floor. I'm working on designating different zones, and decorating to try and work with this.
I've already established that the kitchen is defined by the island.
The dining area is defined, in part, by the location of the light fixture, and how things line up there.
The living area is lacking definition at this time.
Here is the view from the kitchen area into the rest of the space:This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tomatoqueen,
Here's a view of the dining area. I have ordered a rug to anchor the space. The rug there now is temporary- purchased to protect the floor from the antique dining table's castors.
I've centered the buffet on one wall on the center of the table and light fixture, and centered the china cabinet on the other wall the same way.
Right now it feels as if the table is crowding the bar stools a bit- so I may need to move the light a bit? Not sure about that.
The rug I've ordered may be a mistake. It is 8x8' square- which in retrospect, may be too big. This may mean using it in the living area and ordering a smaller rug for the dining area.
Here's the living area- the least defined.
I want to order pieces from Ikea for the entertainment wall. I need closed storage as well as display, and Ikea has some affordable options.
I will use an area rug to help define the space, but the question is this: How far along the wall should I go with the entertainment unit/shelving? I'm thinking about 11-12 feet.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Can you take a picture standing in front of the LR window facing the dining room table?
From the pictures it looks like the table is boxed in by the buffet and the hutch behind the table. Can you move the table closer to the buffet to give you a little more room between the table and barstool chairs?
I can move the table- but of course, that would mean moving the light as well. (not that difficult, but just another thing to consider)
I'll try to get another angle later.
Oh- and speaking of the light.... the previous owners left a length of chain, but I'm not sure if there is enough electrical cord to extend it further even if there is more chain. Right now I find that the light is too high, and there is so little slack as it is, that extending it toward the buffet, even a few inches, may not be possible even without lowering the light.
What is to the left of the dining room table space-wise? Is there plenty more room? It would make sense to change the light fixture to accommodate better space relations, I think.
I agree that an 8x8 rug might be a wee bit large for your particular space.
You are going to have such fun figuring everything out.
I am my happiest when I have a problem to solve design-wise. It gets my juices going.
I hope to see the finished project.
TQ, I'm not sure a rug will really protect your floors from those antique metal casters. They exert a lot of pressure on floors. Do you know about caster cups? They are what traditionally was used to protect floors. I use them under my antique Singer sewing machine's metal casters and also under one of my antique sideboards. I was fortunate to find a box of them very inexpensively at a yard sale but they are not very expensive anyhow. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAG...&hash=item3a84150a2f
Also, you might use masking tape to delineate the 8'x8' rug you are considering as it actually might be too small. There should be enough space to pull chairs out from the table and still be on the rug. This is usually about 3' on each side of the table so unless your table is 24" wide (which I can see it's not) the 8' rug is not large enough. The problem with a smaller rug is that the edges will be subject to wear if chairs are constantly pulled back and forward over the edge of the rug. Also it looks much better when all the chairs are always on the rug.
BTDT with moving and it's good to remember that "this too shall pass". Sending good thoughts for enough energy to complete the move.
"I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow
Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/
ahhh yes...the light over the table. I feel you on that one..I have the same issue.
Lucky- I do have some caster cups. But I felt they wouldn't quite be enough to protect the floor. A rug was always in the plan. I just wanted that extra protection until I got the right rug. (still not sure if the one I ordered is "it"- but meanwhile, this is almost working.
Still working on pictures from other angles. I'm trying to get a few more boxes out of the way first. ::sigh::
Downsizing is not easy. Especially downsizing in combination with losing really good storage space. Now I have a big, open space with lots of clutter!
So here's the new rug.
The long wall in this room is presently painted a light brown. It's neutral, and I thought I'd just live with it for awhile and add color with pieces like the rug.
But now I'm thinking maybe I want to paint the room a complimentary (but not matching) shade of blue.
Of course, I don't really have time for painting just yet- so I have time to mull it over.
(btw- the green tape is just holding down the edge that was curling up from being rolled.)
I like your new rug very much.
My advice is, get yourself unpacked, place the furniture pieces that are staying where you think you want them and proceed from there. When there are boxes and chaos all around you, it is difficult to see the forest for the trees so to speak. What you need to create is as much of a blank canvas as you can and then it will be easier to determine where to move things and add things. Having moved from a small home to a smaller one, and then to a larger one, I understand what you are going through. Take your time and don't try to furnish everything at once. You will be less apt to make mistakes that way.
I LOVE that rug TQ! and I agree with Susan. You need to get more organized first, and place your furniture before deciding on anything else.
Good start though! Nice place
Spot on. We just went through that drill ourselves a few months ago when we moved into our new, slightly smaller resale home. It is much more open than our previous home, which presents a creative challenge, to say the least.
I know it's a lot of work to move pieces around to clear out a space, but in the long run, it pays off. I should buy stock in those "Moving Men" furniture pads, we've used so many.
Good luck!
Pretty rug. I would take the rug since it's curling UP, and tuck it under and set the feet of the chairs on the edge for a day or so..
Love your rug, it looks great. Is it Square? If so where did you get it. I have been looking for one for my dining room, and they are so hard to find.
lilsophie- I got the rug at Overstock.com.
I also looked at square rugs at Wayfair.
The search options for both are pretty good, but a little easier with Overstock. Still, I found both sites a good place to look for square.
Now if I could just figure out a coordinating, but not quite matching rug for the living area...

San Francisco's Market Street will be decked out in orange and black on Oct. 31, but they won't be Halloween decorations. Instead, the World Series champion San Francisco Giants will return home for a ticker-tape championship parade on Wednesday. San Francisco mayor Ed Lee made the parade announcement following the Giants' 10-inning, 4-3 victory over the Tigers.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. PT on Market Street. Mayor Lee did not announce the parade's exact route, but the final destination will remain the same as it was when the Giants captured the crown in 2010: the Civic Center Plaza. An official ceremony will take place when the Giants reach City Hall. There has been no word as to whether Aubrey Huff's rally thong will make an encore appearance.
San Francisco completed a four-game sweep against Detroit on Sunday night, capturing their second title on the West Coast. Pablo Sandoval, who hit three homers in Game One, was named the World Series MVP.

By close, The Heiress will have played 27 previews and 117 regular performances. (At press time, Friday, Feb. 8, a blizzard was blowing into New York City.)
Written by Ruth & Augustus Goetz, The Heiress is directed by Tony Award-nominated playwright and director Moisés Kaufman and stars Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain ("The Help," "Zero Dark Thirty") as Catherine Sloper, Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner David Strathairn as Dr. Austin Sloper, "Downton Abbey" star Dan Stevens as Morris Townsend and Tony Award winner Judith Ivey as Lavinia Penniman. The staging also features Molly Camp, Kieran Campion, Virginia Kull, Mairin Lee, Ben Livingston, Dee Nelson and Caitlin O'Connell.
During the run of the play, Chastain was nominated for the Academy Award as Best Actress for her work in the post-9/11 intelligence thriller "Zero Dark Thirty," about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
The play, inspired by the Henry James novel "Washington Square," is the tale of Catherine Sloper (Chastain), the shy and sheltered daughter of a prominent New Yorker mid-19th-century New York City. "Caught between the demands of an emotionally distant father (Strathairn) and the attentions of a passionate young suitor (Stevens), Catherine must navigate the terrain of love and regret, desire and duty, a chance for happiness and the burden of fortune…as only an heiress can," according to the producers.

Keyes grew up in the Colville area, but sources within the school district tell us he was home schooled. We also had the chance to speak with Stevens County Sheriff Kendle Allen."He's just not a suspect in any of our cases," Allen said. "He was a kid when he lived here." Questions arose earlier in the week as to whether attempted MLK bomber Kevin Harpham had any ties to Keyes."He did not," Kevin's father, Cecil Harpham said. "Kevin did not even know him."

South of Laurel, on Highway 15 a few miles, is Landrum's Homestead and Village. Well over 20 years ago Tom Landrum had in mind building an old one room school house and maybe hiring a teacher for a few days in the summer to show the kids how it "used to be."
As it turned out, that wasn't the first building he built. It was a little house where he put some of his old furniture.
Tom says that they, "Cut our own timber, and had a little timber left over and built a barn."
A barn and a blacksmith's shop, and by then they were on a roll so they built the school they originally intended to build. It was shaping up to be a little community, so they needed a church. And after that it really blossomed.
"Kind of got, we got carried away, really," said Landrum.
Once you park the car in the parking lot and walk through the doors and out the back into the village you are instantly transported back in time, to a place of sounds of things being done, and of wood smoke and simplicity, although it was pretty complicated at the time.
An interesting building is the mystery house where even gravity doesn't work here the same as it does in the rest of the world.
"Everything here is a talking point," said Landrum. "We have electricity but we don't have TVs or anything like that. But, I just think that it is being together as a family or atmosphere of a family."
It's the days of our grandparents or great-grandparents. It seems to be a lot more peaceful and less hectic than nowadays. Probably because it was.
We're more modern outside the gates of Landrum's Village. But it is up for debate whether we've really progressed all that much since the simple days represented here.

instagram photos from eurotrip 2012
De Andrew C. Bly
I had the opportunity to live and research out of Florence, Italy for three months this summer. This is a collection of instagram photos taken during that time and travels to Germany, Spain and throughout Tuscany.
Acerca del autor
Hi. My name is Andrew and I am an architect. I am obsessed with the many facets of design.

The Bowdoin College Catalogue provides a comprehensive explanation of the curriculum and its associated academic standards and regulations. Just as students are responsible for the content of the Student Handbook, so too are they responsible for reading and following the academic policies and regulations of the College presented in the Bowdoin College Catalogue. The Student Handbook supplements the catalogue and references those topics/issues that most frequently concern students. When students have questions about the academic program, they should turn first to the catalogue for an explanation and second to their faculty advisor or a member of the dean's office for interpretations or answers to specific questions.
You will find information on these and other policies and regulations in the catalogue:
A liberal education cultivates the mind and the imagination; encourages seeking after truth, meaning, and beauty; awakens an appreciation of past traditions and present challenges; fosters joy in learning and sharing that learning with others; supports taking the intellectual risks required to explore the unknown, test new ideas, and enter into contructive debate; and builds the foundation for making principled judments. It hones the capacity for critical and open intellectual inquiry - the interest in asking questions, challenging assumptions, seeing answers, and reaching conclusions supported by logic and evidence.
A liberal education rests fundamentally on the free exchange of ideas - on conversation and questioning - that thrives in classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, studios, dining halls, playing fields, and residence halls. Ultimately, a liberal education promotes independent thinking, individual action, and social responsibility.
Bowdoin understands the obligation to direct liberal education toward the common good. In the twenty-first century, that obligation is stronger than ever. The challenge of defining a "common good" and acting on it is highlighted, however, in an interconnected world of widely varied cultures, interests, resources, and power. To prepare students for this complexity, a liberal education must teach about differences across cultures and within societies.
A liberal education is not narrowly vocational, it provides the broadest grounding for finding a vocation by preparing students to be engaged, adaptable, independent, and capable citizens.
Pre-Major Advising
The Offices of the Dean of Student Affairs and the Dean of Academic Affairs jointly coordinate the pre-major academic advising system. In partnership, the Dean of First-Year Students and the Faculty Liaison for Advising work together to match incoming students with a pre-major academic advisor. A number of factors are considered when making advisor/advisee matches, but the most important factor is a shared academic or research interest. Every attempt is made to assign students an advisor in their anticipated major (if they have one) or in an academic area that the student favored in high school or would particularly like to explore at Bowdoin. The pre-major academic advising model is a generalist model in that all pre-major academic advisors are familiar with the curriculum and the distribution requirements and are able to help students complete the requirements of the general program before declaring a major.
In unusual situations, students may be able to switch an advisor. Students wishing to do so should consult with their current advisor or their dean and then identify another advisor. Once a new advisor has been identified, the student should stop by the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs on the second floor of Moulton Union and complete an advisor change card. The dean's office will then record the change, collect the file from the current advisor, and forward it to the new advisor.
Advising at Bowdoin is based on the understanding that seeking advice involves a rich and lively association between the individuals where each plays an active role in a constructive dialogue and each contributes information and perspectives in a worthwhile exchange. An effective engagement with the Bowdoin curriculum places great emphasis on the role of the student as an active learner. As a form of learning crucial to building a liberal education, advising is never passive but involves a process of exchange and engagement with a wide variety of others concerning academic choices and personal direction. Designing an education is an education in itself. A vital part of the Bowdoin educational experience takes place in the interaction between students and their faculty academic advisors. Engaging in an advising partnership involves the recognition that advising is a collaborative relationship with a goal of building a responsive, individual curriculum. An effective advising relationship depends on the exercise of responsibility by the student who seeks guidance and the individual(s) providing the information, insight, or supportive criticism. The focused activity of both parties is essential to developing a productive exchange.
The faculty academic advisor should generally attempt to inform and sometimes challenge the student. She or he may often play the part of a supportive critic, who clarifies academic directions and objectives. The faculty advisor will listen and discuss, supporting some decisions, challenging others, cautioning against possible pitfalls, always respecting the student's responsibility and accountability.
An advisor's signature on required material should indicate that the advisor and student have discussed the course selections. The advisor's signature is required for formal registration at Bowdoin. Individuals who misrepresent or forge advisors' signatures on registration cards violate the Social Code regarding honesty.
Major Academic Advising
Bowdoin students retain their pre-major academic advisors until they declare a major during their fourth semester. After the student selects a major, the advising responsibility shifts to the major department. Each student is assigned a major advisor by the major department (double majors will have an advisor in each major). Students should consult with their major department should they desire to change their major advisor. Major advisors are familiar with the requirements necessary to complete a major program in a given area. As such, the major advising model is more of a specialist model.

Madeira wants to develop a 'Centennial Plaza' around the railroad depot off Miami Avenue, where Choo Choo's Restaurant operates.

Age-related wear is beginning to create problems which have resulted in increased power outages and reduced reliability. As part of the project, the contractor has prepared a simulation showing step-by-step how the units will be disassembled and placed in various locations. The animation was prepared using CAD files and other types of animation software Watch the video.
|Three Sisters Irrigation District - The Three Sisters Irrigation District will receive $2.4 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars over the next few years through the Bureau of Reclamation and other agencies. In the winter of 2009/2010, these economic stimulus funds provided full employment to almost a dozen skilled laborers and an economic shot in the arm for dozens of businesses in the small mountain town of Sisters, Oregon. Watch the video.
|Pathfinder Reservoir Flows Over the Uncontrolled Spillway at Pathfinder Dam - Inflows to the Pathfinder Reservoir from a combination of snow melt and a severe rainstorm increased reservoir water levels to capacity, which allowed for water to be released over a portion of the spillway for the first time since 1984. The dam is located 45-miles southwest of Casper, Wyoming. Video taken the morning of June 19, 2010. Watch the video.
|Cascade Dam Spillway - In June 2010 parts of Idaho, including the Payette River basin, received an unusual amount of rainfall and cool weather, which led to high flows in tributaries causing flooding in some areas. As a routine part of flood control operations, Cascade Dam was operated to hold back the flows as long as possible during the worst of the flooding. As flooding subsided, a large amount of water had to be released from the spillway, attracting many visitors. Watch the video.
|Grand Coulee Dam's Third Powerplant - Grand Coulee Dam's Third Powerplant saw a monumental lift on October 26, 2009 when one of the 600-megawatt generators was taken out of service for repairs. The nearly 2,000 ton rotor was removed from the generator and transported to the far end of the powerhouse, where it will be stored while the repairs are completed. Watch the video.
|A River Runs Through It: The Removal of Savage Rapids Dam - On October 9, 2009, the last remaining radial gates at Savage Rapids Dam were closed, returning the Rogue River to its historic stream channel for the first time since 1921 and allowing salmon and trout the opportunity to migrate freely to and from the Pacific Ocean. A pumping plant was built downstream of the dam site to meet irrigation needs in the area. The total project cost was $39.3 million.

|Topic: Where The Water Goes - Can we interest you in some slightly used water? in fact, pretty much all the water there is on earth has been here from the time the planet was formed. What this means is that when water is used for something, say irrigating crops in the field or making that cup of coffee you had this morning, its's not used up. Eventually it will end up back in what's called the hydrologic cycle.

Mark Sanchez is struggling mightily at home against the Cardinals. He has completed 6-of-12 attempts for 69 yards with three interceptions. He has a passer rating of 34.1.
Two of his interceptions were by Kerry Rhodes as both were a product of Sanchez succumbing to the pass rush. The third was on a deep throw on a post pattern to Chaz Schilens that was picked by Patrick Peterson. Peterson essentially let Chaz beat him deep and then made up ground for an incredible interception.
Sanchez has not looked comfortable in the pocket at all and clearly isn't going through his progressions.
Tim Tebow is inactive today due to fractured ribs, so Alabama product Greg McElroy is the backup. The crowd has been chanting for McElroy in the second quarter. McElroy's Wonderlic score of 48 will likely be higher than Sanchez's passer rating today. This isn't going to end well and the circus that is known as the New York Jets will have another sideshow this week for the national media.

Otitis externa is an inflammation and/or infection of the ear canal. The ear canal is the tube leading from the outer ear to the eardrum. Because it is often found in swimmers, particularly in warm, humid climates, it is often referred to as swimmer's ear.
Otitis externa is caused by infection, chemical irritation, or trauma. Trauma causes damage to the ear canal, which may cause inflammation or allow infection to invade.
Factors that may increase your chance of getting otitis externa include:
People with weak immune systems or who have a chronic illness, such as diabetes or AIDS, may suffer an aggressive form called malignant otitis externa. Malignant otitis externa results in infection of the cartilage and bone around the ear, as well as between the ear and the brain (the skull base). The condition can be severe and difficult to treat, causing nerve paralysis.
Otitis externa may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a visual exam of the ear, including the ear canal and inner ear, using a lighted device called an otoscope. If malignant otitis externa is suspected a CT scan may be necessary.
This condition can easily be treated but can become serious, even life-threatening in some people, if left untreated. This can be very serious particularly in people with diabetes, where the infection can spread and cause malignant otitis externa.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options may include:
If you have an infection, medication will depend on the cause of the infection. Other medications will help reduce other symptoms, such as pain and inflammation. Your doctor may recommend:
If the ear canal is very swollen, it may not allow the ear drops to get in. A small sponge, called a wick, may be inserted in the ear canal to absorb the drops. It is usually removed after 24-48 hours.
If medications or ear wash do not work, your doctor may need to remove any drainage or pus from the ear canal. However, this is rarely needed.
Malignant otitis externa requires immediate treatment, hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, and possibly surgery. Surgery may be indicated for:
Debridement, the removal of dead tissue, may also be necessary to help the healing process.
Your doctor may also recommend:
If you are diagnosed with otitis externa, follow your doctor's instructions .

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." -Acts 1:8
As followers of Christ, we are called to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God which does not begin with the ends of the earth but, rather, is rooted in Jerusalem. Through Local Outreach, we strive to grow into a lifestyle of intentional perpetual service at home, in our own Jerusalem. For Vanguard, we desire to be good neighbors in Costa Mesa and the surrounding areas in Orange County loving and investing in our community.
We'd love for your to connect in the following outreach efforts:
- City Serve
- Tutoring: The simple act of tutoring a youth can have a huge impact on their life. Opportunities are available each week day in the afternoons and early evenings.
- Homelessness: Working with local churches and our city to meet the needs of our neighbors currently experiencing homelessness is a vital effort. Opportunities include running the check-in center (storage facility), Saturday mornings (food, showers and laundry provided), and administrative help for this initiative.
- Senior Citizen Ministry: Very close to Vanguard we have many wise neighbors that would love a visit. Loving to play Bingo, the Wii, card games or simply talking are easy ways for you to connect. Vanguard also throws a "Senior Prom" in the Spring semester that we need help with. Opportunities are very flexible and available any day of the week.
- Mentoring: Want to invest in the life of a local Costa Mesa Youth? We have plenty of opportunities for you to mentor a youth on a weekly basis. Training is provided and scheduling is flexible .
- Foster & Adoption Care Support: There are many local families that have chosen to open their homes and foster or adopt a child. Working alongside organizations that provide continual support and training for these families, we have a great opportunity to bless these families through free babysitting, doing yard or house work, and many more simple acts.
- Building Projects: Do you want to help build a home for someone else? We have occasional opportunities to participate in building projects throughout Orange County.
- Special Needs: Partnering with a local group home serving adults with various developmental delays, Vanguard has a great opportunity to befriend our neighbors. Playing games, doing crafts, and simply hanging out is a wonderful way to show the love of Christ to others.
- Spring and Summer Trips: This year we have 3 outreach trips within the borders of the U.S. For more information click here.
YES! I want to sign up or get more information. What's next?
