We're back for Week 5 of the 2012 NFL season. The Rams and Cardinals got things started on Thursday, with a bit of an upset by St. Louis. Sam Bradford was on the winning side, but put together a slow performance, completing only 33% of his passes. Kevin Kolb was 28/50 for 289 yards, but no touchdowns.
Now we're back for Sunday's slate of Week 5 action. This marks the second week of byes with the Lions, Cowboys, Raiders and Buccaneers. Make sure to have replacements for Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo, Josh Freeman and Carson Palmer.
We have been providing you with rankings all week long, but as Sunday dawns, it would be helpful to have some projections as well. Our Week 5 quarterback rankings are based on our pool of knowledge and often a bit of gut instinct. To improve your chances this year, we are going to provide Sunday projections courtesy of the folks at numberFire. NumberFire uses a series of mathematical models, to break down the action and figure out who exactly is performing well.They use the power of predictive and regressive modeling to more accurately project future performance.
Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers remain at the top of both numberFire and SB Nation Fantasy. The "biggest" difference at the top of the rankings and projects is Cam Newton. SB Nation Fantasy ranks him No. 13, while numberFire projects him at No. 9. It is not a huge difference, which goes to show how settled the QB rankings are getting.
NumberFire claims a higher predictive rate than the major companies (ESPN, CBS, Yahoo!). However, as with anything in fantasy football, we at SB Nation Fantasy view numberFire as one more weapon in your arsenal to claim victory. The numbers can help over the long term, but there are enough variables week-to-week that multiple sources can provide great value.

I have replace the shutdown relay on the firewall, the engine heater solenoid on the firewall, the solenid, and I have switched the relays in the engine distribution. The fuse in the engine distribution box is still good as well. The red wire going to the solenoid shows 12 volts, the white wire shows about 10.4 volts. I have tried to jump start it to get more volts and that doesn't seem to work and the adjustment on the solenoid is correct. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Stephanie McMahon revealed on Twitter that she has a new jet plane. The belief is that WWE purchased the new vehicle for her because she will be attending events more frequently in the role of brand ambassador. Triple H and Vince McMahon will more than likely travel together to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown each week.
Since WWE stars had to travel through pretty rough weather this past winter, Vince McMahon is leaning towards doing more house shows on the west coast during the months of October through January, as the conditions on that side of the country are not nearly as harsh.
Travel isn't an easy thing. Since America Airlines lost their luggage, Natalya Neidhart and Tyson Kidd have no clothes to wear, so the WWE couple has no choice but to wear their ring gear in the hotel room. Natalya posted the hilarious picture on Twitter.
One of the perks and hassles of being a WWE performer is that you get to visit a lot of cities across the world. Xavier Woods is taking advantage of that opportunity now that he is on the main roster. He is currently on a mission to visit a local video game store in every city that he travels to.
"I knew AJ Lee from developmental a year before she was on NXT. I didn't know Dolph Ziggler at all. But when we started working together and traveling to different shows we realized that we shared a similar sense of humor. It didn't take us long to realize that it was kind of an odd pairing but it worked. We had a lot of fun and it is something that I'll always remember. I learned a lot from Dolph when I was ringside for all of the John Cena matches at house shows. It was a positive way for me to start my career."
- Big E Langston
Since she is now committed to her health and fitness, Kharma has now launched a diet website (fit4alldiet.com). The site does not include a lot of details, but it appears to be an affiliate program, where you can log in to your account.
"Here's the story on that. I was there as she was coming in. They knew we had worked together in TNA so they told me. 'Okay, you are going to be her first match'. Everyone knows that her first match is going to be a squash match. So she starts killing all of the girls in the ring. Then we have a house show loop and they tell me. 'Okay, you and Eve are going to get laid out'. I knew they were out to kill everything that we had done in TNA. They kept pushing off that singles match on TV and finally they said 'okay, it's going to happen'. I remember she was there and then all of a sudden she went home. She came back for a pay per view, i think it was in Seattle and she set me aside and told me 'I have to tell you something, I'm pregnant'. I told her congratulations but a part of me was also happy that it was divine intervention to save our history. I sat back said, thank you Lord."
- Gail Kim on Kharma story line in WWE
Kharma has been focusing much more on her health than she has at any point during her professional wrestling career, as the former TNA knockout is now doing the yoga program created by Diamond Dallas Page. She has lost a considerable amount of weight since leaving WWE.
While she has spent much of the past year repairing her personal issues and losing a tremendous amount of weight, WWE has shown very minimal interest in bringing Kharma back into the fold. The focus is on the current divas in developmental.
Through Twitter, Kharma showed off a picture of her new hairstyle from the salon.
Kharma posted a picture of her new boyd on Twitter, and it looks like the former WWE and TNA star has lost close to 100 pounds.
Mickie James, the current TNA Knockouts Champion, stated that she hopes that the company brings Awesome Kong, formerly known as Kharma in WWE, back into the fold, so that she and Gail Kim can work separate programs against her.

Bradford, P.K. Yonge advance to Thursday's final
Published: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 11:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 11:20 p.m.
ALACHUA — In a softball league as talented as District 5-4A, with P.K. Yonge, Bradford and Santa Fe all being ranked during the course of the season, the realization was that one of the three wouldn't move on beyond the district tournament.
On Tuesday night, that one team was the host, the ninth-ranked Raiders.
Lainie Rodgers hit three doubles, Annie Luke and Jacki Atkinson each had a pair of singles and senior Ashton Adkins tossed a three-hitter and delivered a huge hit in a three-run fifth inning as the Tornadoes eliminated Santa Fe, 5-1, at Loretta Shane Softball Field.
With the victory, Bradford (17-7) will face 4A No. 1 P.K. Yonge (20-2) in Thursday's district championship at 7 p.m. at Santa Fe. The Blue Wave routed Fort White 14-0 in five innings in Tuesday's first district semifinal, with Kalen McGill getting two hits, including a two-run homer, and improving to 19-1 on the mound with no walks and five strikeouts.
Bradford, which a year ago reached the state 4A tournament for the first time in school history, dropped out of the Miracle Sports state softball poll following an 0-4 showing at the Kissimmee Klassic two weeks ago, which gave them seven losses on the season.
"They took it a little hard, they expected to do better there, which is how I would like them to react," Tornadoes coach Daniel Davis said. "They also knew that playing those type of teams were going to make us better. I think playing those type of teams gets you ready for districts because you are battle tested."
Leading 2-0 after a costly infield error by the Raiders, Bradford broke the game open in the fifth, scoring three runs with two outs. Besides Rodgers, who hit her second of three doubles in that frame, Adkins drove her home with a double to right with two outs. Jordan Davis then followed with another Tornado double, and Luke and Atkinson had back-to-back singles, all adding up to a 5-1 Bradford lead.
"To score those runs with two outs was kind of where we have been struggling at this year," Daniels said. "We were good at it last year, scoring with two outs, but haven't done such a good job this year. So to score three runs in a tight game with two outs was huge for us."
The Tornadoes had nine hits off Santa Fe junior starter Ashtin Strickland, five of those in the fifth. Strickland, who had one of the Raiders' three hits, had nine strikeouts.
Santa Fe, which handed Columbia its only loss on the season, closed its season at 19-7.
"We made some mental errors (in the fifth), in some areas we are still young," Raiders coach Gene Findley said. "Unfortunately we had a mishap last night where we had to rearrange our field a little bit because our catcher was out with a concussion. It affected us some.
"All our players gave everything in the gut out there, no doubt. This district is really strong in pitching. You don't see that in a lot of districts."
P.K. Yonge had little problem with Fort White, scoring nine runs in the second to build a 10-0 lead early. McGill, who injured her ankle at the Kissimmee Klassic, pitched just her second game since, giving up just two hits, and delivering her two-run homer in the third.
"I always say the semifinal of a district tournament is always the most important game of the year," said Blue Wave coach Paul Silverman, who was greeted with cupcakes from his team after the win in celebration of his birthday, which is today. "It is what gets you into the state playoffs, and we treat it that way. Kalen's ankle (left), she is definitely favoring it. We have to manage it. When the adrenaline kicks in, she is ready to go.
"This is very much a game-to-game, day-to-day, mature type of team. I think everybody has their job to do and they do it. She (McGill) has pitched two shutouts with her bad ankle."
The Blue Wave had 13 hits in just four innings at the plate. Beside McGill, Sara Hendrix and Nikkia Robinson both had a pair of hits, with Hendrix opening P.K. Yonge's hitting with a lead-off double.
Bradford and P.K. Yonge have played two one-run games during the season, with the Blue Wave winning both. In Gainesville, P.K. Yonge, down 2-0, scored three runs in the seventh to win.
"They are a great team, we have lost two close ballgames to them," Davis said of P.K. Yonge. "I think it will be a tight game. It would be nice to win the district championship, but we know it will be a great challenge."

METHUEN — Representatives of a private Information Technology firm detailed the "deeply flawed" state of the city's IT department last night during a two-hour public hearing at City Hall.
And while a number of city councilors questioned the mayor's claim that the city will save $925,000 over five years by privatizing municipal IT services, the majority of residents who spoke up said they supported the idea.
"My concern is the bottom line," said Ralph Prolman of Pinehurst Avenue. "Personally, if it were me I'd privatize anything I could in the town to save on insurance and pension costs. ... Anything you can do to save a buck is going to be appreciated."
Mayor Stephen Zanni hopes to pay Corporate IT Solutions of Norwood $204,036 per year to manage the city's IT needs in place of the existing four-employee municipal IT department. Three employees would be laid off under his IT reorganization plan.
Last night's public hearing was called by a three-member City Council subcommittee led by Councilor Jeanne Pappalardo. The full council is expected to take a deciding vote on IT privatization Monday night.
"It's going to be a hard vote to take because we're eliminating three employees," said Pappalardo. "It's not a fun thing to do. But if we're going to save this kind of money and their performance hasn't been up to par, my role as a city councilor is to save taxpayers money."
Pappalardo compared IT privatization to the decades-old decision in Methuen to outsource trash removal service.
"We have to look down the road here," said Pappalardo. "I think that we're on the right track."
In addition to saving money, Zanni said hiring Corporate IT Solutions will allow city workers to use their computers much more efficiently.

Measuring Company Success
If you were asked, "How do you measure your fire/EMS company's success?" how would you respond?
If you were asked, "How do you measure your fire/EMS company's success?" how would you respond? Would you pull out the statistics on property saved vs. property lost (fire loss)? Would you look at your total response time? Would you measure the number of members that turn out for emergency calls? Would you look at total fundraising or the development of a budget that meets your needs and stays within the means? Would you look at success of patient care procedures, i.e., IV sticks, intubations, proper implementation of specified medical protocols, etc.? These are all ways that we can measure success and they are very valuable to the organization's ability to deliver the services to the customer. Fire and EMS agencies have traditionally been very good at measuring success in these areas in order to satisfy the inquiring citizen as well as the scrutinizing jurisdictional authority (City Council, Mayor, City Manager, County Commission, Fire Supervisory Board, et al). It is time we spend more time measuring our success by looking inside to our most valuable resources - our members and employees.
Station Life
One way that we can measure company success is to look at the dynamics of life in our stations. Do you have one or more of these members on your team - "He (or she) is a great firefighter who can do any job on the fire ground, but he/she is a pain in the rear to live with"? They are only happy when working a legitimate call? Does this same person or persons constantly complain about overall operations and always believes that if it was done his/her way, things would be better? If you have one of these on your team, doesn't their behavior and attitude affect the entire crew?
An employee or member who falls into this category has a negative impact on company cohesiveness. As a crew, we spend the majority of our time "living" together and not on emergency incidents, let alone legitimate emergencies. In a volunteer system, a member who only seems to "appear" when the pager sounds contributes little value to the overall effectiveness of the station. Like a contagious disease, other members/employees will mimic behaviors that are seen as accepted or acceptable.
A successful company has crew and members that can interact well professionally, both during emergency operations and non-emergency operations, and they interact well socially - that is, living together. If you are the company officer, you need to realize that you cannot make everyone happy all of the time (you will go crazy trying). Instead, recognize individual differences, spend time getting to know what makes a person "tick", and use those characteristics in ways to compliment the entire force.
Safety Culture
Another measure of company success can be found by evaluating safety related statistics. Needless to say, both firefighting and EMS have their inherent dangers. However, through administrative controls (SOP's/SOG's, policy), engineering controls (PPE, equipment design), and human factor controls (medical screenings, physicals, physical fitness, training) we can minimize the number of injuries that occur.
On the average, over 85,000 firefighters are injured every year on the job. This number is believed to be under-reported. Injuries occur in the line of duty (delivering service), in the station, training, and while operating vehicles. They result from failure to utilize personal protective equipment (PPE). Successfully reducing these numbers (trending) can be directly related to company risk reduction strategies. Are all members aware of the SOP's? Are they followed? Is proper equipment available and used? Does the manpower assigned to a task allow for a successful outcome? Are the company leaders leading by example (both good and bad)? By addressing these control factors, greater overall good can be expected.

I love this cleanser for the past year my eczema had started again, and I have been looking for a cleanser that would help calm my skin when i washed it. I had tried everything from oatmeals to Michael Todd and nothing worked finally my dermatologist recommended this product. Within that week of using it my skin calmed down and after I washed it my skin would look like its normal self rather than all the red rashes. This product doesn't help with acne or aging. It is just a SIMPLE facial cleanser, it keeps the skin calm and hydrated which is all I needed. Love it :)

I love this cleanser! It was recommended to me by my dermatologist because of my Rosacea. It does an excellent job of cleaning off make-up and dirt without drying out my skin. I went out and bought another one to have as a back up and I will continue to buy. Highly recommended.

I have been using cerave foaming cleanser for over 3 months, I also used the hydrating version a few times but for some reason it stung my eyes and face so that is body wash now-however this foaming one is the BEST economical face wash I have ever used and I have tried everything from low end to high end. I love the simple pump and use this in the shower at night. (I use PCA creamy cleanser in the AM). It cleans my skin amazingly and gets it ready for my nighttime skincare products. There is no smell, it doesn't burn my skin and it clears up my skin! I bought an expensive cleanser 2 weeks ago because I got bored and wanted to try something new and stopped using Cerave, I started to notice I was starting to get some clogged pores (white closed comodones) and my skin was on the oiler side. Last night I used Cerave and TODAY my skin is practically all cleared up which is why I decided to write this review now. I am a total product junkie and don't repurchase the same things often as I love change but this I will continue to use. Maybe forever :)

I absolutely LOVE this facewash! It cleans my skin and isn't too soapy, which makes it easy for it to rinse off. This wash does not contain any sulfate which is harmful to skin. A+

I tried this and it actually broke out my face really bad, my skin never looked as bad as when I was using this. I used it for about a month hoping it would clear up but it only got worse and worse. I'm really disappointed one because of the price and two because I've never heard of anyone else having this problem. I switched back to my old face wash and after one week I'm already clearing up big time. I guess I'm one of the unlucky few that this product didn't work out for.

I like this cleanser. I have oily acne prone skin and this has helped to cut down on both of those. First I tried the hydrating cleanser and that made my skin burn, so I switched to the foaming and it's perfect. No burning, and balances my skin. I use with the cerave moisturizing lotion at night. So far I'll be repurchasing, and I'll edit if anything changes.

I have used both the Foaming facial cleanser and the hydrating facial cleanser and i found that the hydrating is much more gentle on the skin and does not cause any redness where as the foaming facial cleanser is much harsher and even irritated my skin a little. I'm not sure why but i have found that cleansers that really lather up tend to make my face more irritated than cleansers that have a gel like consistency. I did not care for this cleanser as much as the hydrating, but don't get me wrong, i sure do love my CERAVE!
OMG......I have sensitive skin....I used this for a day and a half.......just used it for the last time. My skin is ANGRY red and BURNING!!!!! Not sure why......got this based on Paula B's recommendation.....it is NOT a best product, not for me anyway. Not gentle, I'm sorry, but ladies be careful. Sticking to my Olay or Neutrogena sensitive skin wash.
EDIT: TOTALLY forgot to add.....I have seen many comment on the niacinamide in this wash being the potential irritant....I use Olay Regenerist Day Lotion religiously and it has niacinamide and I DO NOT experience this irritation with it.
This is a very good non-drying cleanser. It removes makeup well (in 2 washes). It never causes any redness or irritation and it foams up great! Definitely recommend!

I thought these CeraVe products were contributing to breakouts at first, but over several months of consistent use I've realized this and the AM/PM moisturizers are actually godsends for my skin.
My skin is healthy, relatively clear, and plumper looking after using these products (with 2.5% BP and a daily salicylic acid product like PCs or Philosophy Clear Days Ahead treatment/moisturizer). No matter what other stuff rotates through my routine, these are staples I'll always rely on and come back to when the newest cool thing leaves me irritated and broken out or ruddy.
This stuff is my old faithful. Not drying for me, takes off sunscreen and eye makeup with two washes, gentle, and after I'm done I almost feel like I didn't even put anything on my face (in a good way). I love it.
EDIT 7/6/15: I guess I spoke too soon. After switching to Cetaphil for Normal/Oily skin, I've found that my skin is softer, smoother, and less bumpy. Cetaphil also works better to remove makeup for me and has more slip. I think this and/or the AM/PM CeraVe products I was using were clogging or causing bumps. I didn't realize how much my skin texture had changed until I switched back to my previous routine (which was effective just a year ago, so not sure why I switched). The old routine is gentle cleanser, SA pads (Clearasil), and Olay Age Defying SPF 15 and anti wrinkle night cream.
FYI, if anyone is a reader of Paula Begoun and cosdna (I got obsessed for the past year and it actually worsened my ski ), I'd encourage you to go on PubMed or Google Scholar and see for yourself what is true and what is outdated or misleading. There's good stuff on Beautypedia, but her claims about alcohol in skincare, jar packaging, etc. are completely overblown (I say this as a scientist myself). Also, the author of the original comedogenicity scales said himself they were misleading and unreliable. Beauty Brains blog is a slightly better, though still sometimes contradictory, source.
My routine for the past two weeks (similar to what I was doing last summer before over researching ruined my skin and budget) is as follows, and it wouldn't hurt to try if you have skin bumps, acne flare ups, and oily adult skin:
Cetaphil Normal/Oily cleanser (or mild cleanser without sodium or ammonium lauryl sulfate...SLES seems to be fine for me).
Clearasil Ultra pads (Oxy pads were working for me last summer, too, though the pH for SA to work is too high...that's one thing I'll still check Beautypedia for...that and UVA protection levels only)
Olay Age Defying SPF 15 (AM) / Olay Age Defying anti wrinkle night cream (PM).
Occasional spot treatment with 10% BP (currently the Target generic for Clean & Clear Persagel) on incoming time of the month zits
Almay makeup (Clear Complexion concealer, Smart Shade Smart Balance pressed powder, and TLC foundation for special occasions)
As I mentioned, that routine worked for me for several years before. I remember being in the shower last summer thinking I couldn't remember the last time I had a zit, and this is pretty much what I was doing. I don't know why I changed it in the first place, but now I've been back on it for 2 weeks and my skin is back to being relatively smooth, clear, and bright. I guess I shouldn't give up near perfect skin in search of absolute perfection :)

ATLANTA (AP) - State education officials have announced they've developed courses for a new education model geared toward helping students find potential career paths.
Officials from the Georgia Department of Education say the career clusters framework will allow students to choose 1 of 17 career pathways based on what they'd like to study in college. The pathways range from business management and administration to world languages and are based on a set of core curriculum and electives.
The General Assembly voted in 2011 to allow the Department of Education to implement the career pathways program. State School Superintendent John Barge says the "new career pathways will keep students engaged and on the road to graduation."
He said many students drop out of school because they can't connect classroom experiences to practical applications.
