Tip of the Day, March 31

March 31 – Eph. 2:19-20; "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone".
Nowhere in these two verses does it say that we must have prophets and apostles today! The verses tell us that we are no longer aliens in the common-wealth of Israel and then goes on to compare the body of Christ to a physical building, Jesus Christ being the cornerstone of it. The prophets and apostles were a secondary foundation with Jesus being the primary foundation of the church. Look to the teachings of the foundation the apostles and prophets laid for us – this is the true way to worship Him. The tense of the last sentence in this passage is past tense. It has already been built.
"Point 3. The true church must have a foundation of Apostles and Prophets. Eph. 2:19-20".
Is God an Exalted Man?

In order to answer this question we need to look at the source from where it came. There are many other sections on this site that will deal with the subject of Trinity, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but for now we're only examining the nature and character of God.

March 30 – Ephesians 5:23; "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body".
As we've already seen this year, the Mormons believe they are the saviors of man. So how many saviors are there? The verse above says that Jesus is the Savior of the body. And where does it say in the verse for today that the church has to bear the name of Jesus?
"Point 2. The true church must bear the name of Jesus Christ. Eph. 5:23."

The Many Faces and Descriptions of the Mormon Jesus
When I became a Christian the one thing I was most surprised about was what I learned about the Jesus in the Bible. He was so different from what I had been taught in my 30 years of being a Mormon.
We've written many articles about the Mormon Jesus and have listed the links below for you to read. Here are just 60 of the things Mormons believe about Jesus and the biblical rebuttal to each. We use these examples for our PSA's (Public Service Announcements) on the radio.

March 29 –Eph. 4:11-14 shows us how the body of Christ operates. It says; "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children being tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive".
For the next couple of weeks or so we will follow the "Seventeen points of the True Church". It's a little business type card the Mormons hand out to help show people why they are the only ones that truly follow Jesus Christ.
"Point 1. Christ organized the Church. Eph. 4:11-14."
While it's admirable the Mormon Church uses the Holy Bible as a guide to support their theory, it is an ambiguous shot at best for their cover-up.
They only believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. This is their 8th Article of Faith.

My prayer for the ministry of Life After has been that we would be in God's will at all times for all things. Whenever I think about the doctrines of Mormonism in light of what God has given and shown to me, my heart is sickened. Therefore our purpose at Life After Ministries is to always tell the truth while informing the public and offering the ultimate solution; that being the way to the real Heavenly Father. I will be asking a series of questions throughout this investigation and they will be listed at the end for quick reference as well.

March 28 – In 1 Cor. 1:10 Paul says; "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.".
This scripture reference is what the Mormons use to 'prove' that all churches but them are apostate because we have so many different denominations. What they refuse to see is that if you follow the tenets of the Bible and see it as the infallible word of God, the name over the doorway is no different than each of us having our own identity with our given name.
"If modern churches do not conform to the New Testament pattern of the true Church, then the non-conforming organizations are apostate. This simple test of the authenticity of any church claiming to be the Lord's may be made by finding answer to such questions as: Where is there a church that has…some combination of the names of Christ as its name?" Mormon Doctrine, pg 45.

March 27 – Judges 16:30 tells us about the final act of Samson's strength the Lord God had supplied him with; there is no question that no one lived as Samson did. "And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life".
The Book of Mormon is based upon revelations Joseph Smith received from the gold and brass plates the angel Moroni had delivered to Smith for translation. Remember, if a revelation disagrees with the Bible, even on the smallest of subjects, this would make it a false prophecy. Ask your Mormon friend if Smith was stronger than Samson.
D&C 24:12 says; "And at all times, and in all places, he shall open his (Joseph Smith) mouth and declare my gospel as with the voice of a trump, both day and night. And I will give to him strength such as is not known among men".

March 26 – Romans1:25; "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. A-men."
Today's witnessing tip is a classic example of how Joseph Smith went about tricking people. The teachings of the Church would have their people believe one thing with the teaching of their god being a risen man who is progressive, but in the scripture below they say something totally different. Ask your Mormon loved one what they think of this contradiction.
Mormon 9:10; "And now if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god, who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then have ye imagined up unto yourselves, a god who is not a God of miracles".

March 25 – John 4:24 says "God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth".
The Mormons honestly believe they came from the loins of God Himself. Ask them about their "Heavenly Mother".
"So God brought his own race upon the earth and planned that it should reproduce after its own kind in its own likeness and image. Adam and Eve were in the likeness image of God and therefore, when they reproduced they were to reproduce the race of God, each child being in the exact likeness and image of God". Chastity, pg. 9, Mark E. Petersen

Utah's Dark Reality Just Keeps Getting Darker
2010 Utah Suicide Report
Mark 12:29-34; "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

March 24 – Luke describes the Virgin Mary to his readers as such: "And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women". Luke 1:28.
Although the Mormon Church allowed people of color into the Church, their teachings have not changed. They've had more than 25 years to change their scripture, but it's still the same. This is confusing to the Mormon.
How reasonable is it that Mary, a young girl from the Middle East, would be fair and white?
1 Nephi 11:13 describes to the Mormon what Mary looked like. "…and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was exceedingly fair and white."

March 23 – John 1:18; "No man hath seen God at any time…the Only Begotten Son hath declared Him".
The whole Mormon story depends on what or whom Joseph Smith talked to in the grove of trees. He claims it was God the Father and His Son. In light of the above verse, one has to wonder.
"God, the Eternal Father and His Son appeared to Joseph Smith". A Marvelous Work and Wonder, pg. 7, by LeGrand Richards.

March 22 – Hosea 11:9; "…for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst…"
After the Mormon asks you to pray Moroni 10:3-5, ask them what they think of God. Who is He, what does He look like, etc? Remember, Mormons believe He's an exalted man.
Moroni 8:18; "For I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity".

March 21 – Jer. 17:9; "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
Mormons will always ask you to pray the following verses in Moroni and you will receive a "burning in the bosom" from knowing the Church is true. Ask them how you can trust Moroni based upon what Jeremiah said above.
Moroni 10:3-5; "Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts. 4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. 5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

2008 Vital Report
Utah's Legacy
Before I sent this off to be published I wanted to add a few words, especially for the members of the LDS Church.
You know, as we live this life on earth we learn and grow while encountering things we never thought of before. Years ago I went about making sure that I brought children into this world because I was convinced it'd get me into heaven. Now of course I've learned this doctrine isn't true, but more importantly there was one other thing I didn't think about when having all these kids. That one thing was growing attached to and feeling compassion for the kids my own children would one day surround themselves with in life.

March 20 – Ex. 12:9 says; "Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it".
God was rather clear when He told the Israelites not to eat raw meat, but in the Book of Mormon this isn't a problem with their god. Ask them why this would be so.
1 Nephi 17:2; "And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings".

March 19 – Numbers 14:25; "(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley). To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea".
Use this verse as a geography lesson for the Mormon. There has never been a river that empties into the Red Sea. It is surrounded by wilderness (desert) only.
1 Nephi 2:8; "And it came to pass that he called the name of the river, Laman, and it emptied into the Red Sea; and the valley was in the borders near the mouth thereof."

Every eighteen months or so for the past several years I have compiled a set of reports from varying agencies that describe the health and well being of Utah. It's been my experience with the findings that I am saddened each time by the results. I am more convinced with each report that being a member of the LDS Church plays a major role in the dismal outlook for the residents of Utah, both physically as well as spiritually.

I've been meaning to make a huge site update for quite some time, I just couldn't finish it until now. The hope is that this version of the site is more readable, with sensible colors. Also, I'm finally playing around with some more of the XHTML specification.
Since the website hasn't updated in a while, the message that was there stated that I am unemployed. I have just recently started a job with a new employer, and I'm having a blast there. MIPS processors can be so much fun.

Birla Corporation on Saturday said that it filed special leave petition in the Supreme Court against the Jodhpur High Court order prohibiting mining operation at its Chanderia unit in Rajasthan. The High Court on May 25 in an interim order also ordered cancellation of the limestone mining lease as it fell within 10 km from the wall of the Chittorgarh Fort, a heritage monument, and slapped a "compensation" of Rs 4.5 crore.
The company, in its notes to the accounts for the June quarter, stated that the apex court admitted the petition and stayed the levy of the compensation. The MP Birla group company further said: "Pending completion of the legal process, no provision for the levy of compensation has been made in the books (of accounts)." The company also said that its jute mill, near here, "continues to be under 'suspension of work' since since March 31".
It reported a net profit of Rs 84.74 crore in the quarter ended June 30 against Rs 111.88 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

Consulting Services
How Consulting Services Can Benefit An Organization
The reasons why companies make use of consulting services are very varied, and depend largely on the consultants' specific expertise. However, the purpose is most likely to concern the need to improve organizational performance, by diagnosing problems that hamper the achievement of the organization's goals, and developing ways of solving these problems. Sometimes a consultancy may be asked to provide help with the management of organizational change, or in developing coaching and training skills. Thanks to the relationships they develop with large numbers of different companies, consultancy firms will be seen as having some expertise in industry best practice across different sectors, and may be employed to help business owners who fear they are falling short.
Specialized Consulting Services To Consider
Although consulting services overall are concerned with helping businesses solve their problems, most consultant firms will tend to be more specialized in the service they provide. For instance the specialisms could include management consultancy, information technology consultancy, or human resource consultancy. A large consultant company is likely to consist of departments offering all or most of these specialisms, whereas a smaller, so-called boutique consultancy is more likely to focus on a single area. Within these fields there are other, more precise, types of consultancy, which could focus on, for example, operations, executive leadership, strategy, process improvement, or sales. A decision as to which service is offered will often follow an initial assessment, during which the consultant makes a diagnosis of the specific issues which are hampering the organization's progress.
Small Businesses Even Use Consulting Services Today
Although consulting services have traditionally been used by commercial companies, the last decade has seen a noticeable growth in their use in the public, government and nonprofit sectors. Along with the economic downturn across much of the industrialized world, there has grown up an increasing public intolerance of inefficiency and waste on the part of organizations funded by the taxpayer or by charitable donations, as well as an awareness by the organizations of the need to make less money go further. These organizations would never have considered using consulting services two or three decades ago, but now they are finding this investment increasingly worthwhile. It enables them to move towards operating on similar management principles to those required by the commercial sector, in order to stay in business.
In recent years the practice has grown for some companies to employ their own internal consultants, as a way of keeping costs down and maintaining industrial privacy. However, most business find the benefits of hiring external consultant firms outweigh the disadvantages. One of the major benefits has always been seen to be the objectivity which an external consultant can bring to the task. It is very difficult for those working for a company to discern areas for improvement within their own organization. In addition, the outside consultant can bring the knowledge of industry best practice, gained from exposure to many different companies across the sector. It is true that the consultancy industry tends to be cyclical, and it experienced a major shrinkage during the recent economic downturn. However, the demand has now stabilized, and it is clear that in an intensely competitive market, consulting services are not a luxury but a necessity for most organizations.
A few of the consulting services that we offer but not limited to are:

The lockout left us all yearning for football of any kind. The preseason wet our appetite for "real" football. And cut day, where teams trim the final fat off of their rosters, lets us know we are mere days away from melodic voices of Joe Buck and Jim Nantz filling our living rooms.
Preseason is in the books with the Rams going a perfect 4-0. Take it for what it's worth but 4-0 in the preseason at minimum builds momentum heading into the season. It is a lot easier to spin positive when you are winning meaningless games than losing. Cut day has come and gone and rosters will be finalized in the coming days. And finally DVR's across the globe are being set to Fox, CBS, NBC and NFL Network.
So what's left to look forward to? Well a lot, too much to cover in one post. But if I had to name one…FOOTBALL! In an effort to sift through the rest and filter out what most to look forward to in 2011 here are three things Rams fans should be excited about:
Year Two of Sam Bradford
From both a team and a personal standpoint Bradford's rookie campaign was a successful one. The Rams improved by six wins and the number 1 overall pick threw for 3512 yards and 18 touchdowns. Moving into year two of his NFL career more is to be expected. And from all indications more will be delivered.
To start with Spagnuolo upgraded the brains behind the offense by bringing in Josh McDaniels to replace Pat Shurmur. I would akin this to trading in an '84 Buick that's leaking oil all over the driveway for a new fuel efficient, supped up Lexus. At the very least McDaniels should help Bradford improve upon his woeful 2010 average of 6 yard per pass attempt.
With a year under his belt and a better understanding of the NFL game Bradford will command this offense with more precision and execution. Helping is the fact that Justin Smith and Roger Saffold will also have a year under their belt as a tandem protecting the franchise. Keeping Bradford on his feet will be a useful as he targets the Rams improved crop of Wide Receivers.
The final step in equipping Bradford for 2011 was giving him a better set of weapons. Billy Devaney did his part here. Bringing in Kendricks, Sims-Walker, Salas, and Pettis to team with Amendola and Alexander. Having better targets will surely bring his touchdown totals into the 20's open up the running game. Year two of Bradford will be the driving force behind the 2011 Rams and have the biggest impact on the team's playoff chances.
Running Game
Since Marshall Faulk retired the Rams have been a one back team. As good as Steven Jackson is and has been not having a reliable backup has caused problems on the field for the team and off the field for the fans. Jackson has always prided himself on his toughness and taking all the carries. And he has been good at. Racking up 10,618 yards from scrimmage in his career.
With Jackson closing in on that dreaded 30 year old Running Back plateau and the offense stalling more often than not action was needed. That action was bringing in Cadillac Williams. No disrespect intended towards Kenneth Darby but defenses didn't exactly game plan to stop him. As soon as Jackson came off the field, Darby checking in or not, it was a passing play.
Good NFL teams need to successful running the ball even when their primary is not on the field. If a defense knows what is coming you're doomed. Cadillac changes that all. Cadillac gives Spags and McDaniels 4,856 from scrimmage himself. A one-time 1,000 + yard rusher himself Cadillac has shown flashes this preseason of what he can do.
Up the middle, screen-passes, short yardage situations. Cadillac Williams keeps the offense moving when Jackson leaved the field. But perhaps most importantly he saves Jackson's knees and body the added trauma that comes with turning 30 in the NFL.
Rams Defense
Drafting Robert Quinn was a statement pick. A statement that the Rams are committed to building a defense along with improving the offense. Something the Martz regime seemed to ignore completely. Spagnuolo is a defense first coach and he brought that mentality with him to St. Louis.
The Rams finished 7th in the league in 2010 with 43 sacks and pulling in 14 interceptions. James Hall, Chris Long and Fred Robbins combined for 25 sacks last season. Adding Robert Quinn, who has proved to be a good edge rusher this preseason, should free all four up to impose even more damage in 2011.
Putting pressure on the QB and plugging up the running lanes will allow James Laurinaitis and his new tag team partner, Ben Leber, man the middle and punish receivers and backs trying to come across the middle. Quintin Mikell brings a veteran presence to the secondary that gave up way too many big plays in 2010.
Watching the Rams D-line punish opposing QB's this preseason and collapse pocket after pocket was impressive. Doing it in the regular season for four full quarters is another thing. The Rams finished strong defensively. Ending the year ranked 12th in the league in points allowed and management only made it stronger in the offseason. Heading into the regular season the Rams defense is absolutely something to look forward too.

CATEGORIES Fandom, Exhibition, Movie Marketing, ComicCon, Movies, Comic-Con, CinematicalFor the past couple years, San Diego Comic Con has been invaded by thousands of loyal Twi-hards itching to get a good spot at the much buzzed-about Twilight panel so they could scream their pretty little heads off and shake the foundation of the San Diego Convention Center. For anyone who's attended Con these past couple years, you know how insane the Twilight panels were. Picture a rock concert times twelve, with thousands of girls (and their equally-as-obsessed moms) camping outside the convention center for days in anticipation of the hour-long panel. Not only did the panel get in the way of everything else going on (to the point where other studios tried to steer clear of all things Twilight), but it was also a pain in the neck to cover from a press perspective because the thing was a freakin' circus.
Rest easy Con-goers, as Summit Entertainment has just confirmed to Cinematical that there will be no Twilight panel this year. Whether it's because they have no Breaking Dawn footage to show (it won't start shooting until the fall) or because the cast just didn't want to do it, we don't know. What we do know is that Summit will instead be bringing two other films for panels: Red and Drive Angry 3D. Expect Breaking Dawn to pop up next year.
On Thursday, Summit will host a panel for Red, with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban and Mary Louise Parker in attendance, along with director Robert Schwentke and graphic novel writer Warren Ellis. Aside from a Q&A, they'll be showing off the film's final trailer. On Friday, the Nicolas Cage flick Drive Angry 3D will have a panel with Nic Cage, Amber Heard and director Patrick Lussier. New footage is promised for that one.
Check out the full press release after the jump. So, you Twi-hards pissed there's no Breaking Dawn at Con this year?
Los Angeles, CA July 7, 2010 – Summit Entertainment, which impacted Comic-Con for the past two years when it introduced thousands to THE TWLIGHT SAGA cast in San Diego, will be doing it again by bringing two of the most anticipated action films, RED and DRIVE ANGRY 3D, to this year's convention. Summit will provide a first ever look at exclusive footage as well as cast and filmmakers during panels on Thursday, July 22nd and Friday, July 23rd in Hall H.
Details of the panels are as follows:
Thursday, July 22, 2010 – 2:15pm – 3:15pm – Hall H:
RED – Stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, and Mary Louise Parker join director Robert Schwentke and Red's graphic novel writer Warren Ellis as they debut the final trailer exclusively to Comic-Con 2010, before it's ever in theaters, and answer questions about bringing this well known D.C. Comics graphic novel to the big screen. Based on the graphic novel by Ellis, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren star in this explosive action-comedy in which former CIA top agents become the Agency's top targets because of the secrets they know.
Friday, July 23, 2010 – 10:30am – 11:00am – Hall H:
DRIVE ANGRY 3D – In a Comic-Con exclusive, stars of the film including Nicolas Cage, and Amber Heard as well as director Patrick Lussier will debut footage from the high-octane, blood-spattered road trip through hell. In this newest action horror shot in 3D, a vengeful father hunts down the people who brutally killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby.
In addition to the exciting panels, Summit Entertainment will once again have a booth set up in the Grand Hall at Comic-Con where the studio will showcase titles from its upcoming slate. Those who stop by will be able to answer a call at the Summit phone booth to speak live with Summit filmmakers and talent or customize a t-shirt at the live t-shirt press. In addition, the prize wheel never stops spinning with thousands of promotional giveaways and exclusive prizes to win throughout the convention!

...we were thoroughly outcoached on the offensive side of the ball.
Granted, there were a few other contributing factors (inability to cover the tight end, few dropped balls, mc nabb's inconsistency, inability to stop the run).
However we need to face facts and realize that our defense held an NFL offense to 13 points and therefore held up its part of the bargain.
Offense on the other hand...hear me out:
Andy Reid's overall offensive philosophy is flawed. He relies excessively on a unique version of the west coast offense that emphasizes vertical routes almost all the time, especially by the WRS, and primarily targets the tight end for the short completions. This is because of his over reliance on the big play. In addition, he does not effectively employ the run game. The offensive philosophy has the following manifestations:
1) The vertical WR routes all need time to develop. So when we play against a team that blitzes a fair amount, or when the line is having a subpar day, needless to say, our offense is screwed because there is no time for WR routes to develop. Also, when we play against teams with a "soft shell"/cover 2 or two deep safeties predominantly, our offense goes to shit because we don't know how to take advantage of underneath routes consistently.
2) We either make big plays for quick scores or go three and out. Hence its more difficult for McNabb to get in a rhythm, the while offense cannot get into a rhythm, we are pretty poor with time of possession and too often send our defense back out there time and time again until they get gassed and start to give up yards and scores.
3) We eschew running the ball because well....its much less likely to result in a big play and therefore does not fit within the overall offensive philosophy.
4) We love the big play so much we don't want to go away from it for even a second, not even to call run plays to keep the defense honest and prevent them from just pinning their ears back and rushing the passer.
5) When there's a short completion, its most likely going to the tight end. I think all the NFL teams know this about our offense by now. Secret's been out on that for a while. We're not fooling anyone with that one.
6) We love the big play so much we won't even go away from the vertical routes long enough to exploit the holes in the defense. When a team sends extra rushers, there's usually a hole behind them. When a team sets its corners/safeties deep, there are usually underneath completions to be had. Just reference the playcalling of Sean Payton and Josh McDaniels as examples of this very simple football concept. Against the raiders today, there were holes behind the blitzing linebackers that came on pretty much every third down, yet we kept trying to go deep on pretty much every one of those third downs.
7) We love the big play so much that even when we play against one of the worst run defenses in the league and have a good average on rushes, we just can't get away from those vertical routes long enough to try to take advantage of the defense's real weakness. This point was especially evident in the game today, and in last season's game against Cincy.
8) As long as the fat man stubbornly continues his over-reliance on this vertical variant of the west coast offense, ignoring all reason and refusing to take what the defense gives us from time to time, we will never have an offense that can consistently come through in the clutch.

A proposed measure would allow children with severe epileptic seizures to be treated with cannabis oil by dropper through the mouth or by a feeding tube. The children would be part of clinical trials conducted at either Vanderbilt Children's Hospital or East Tennessee Children's Hospital. Under the bill, Tennessee Tech in Cookeville has agreed to produce the oil for what the two hospitals would need.Sponsors hope potentially hundreds of kids would be part of the clinical trials.The bill is also getting some high level help on Tennessee's Capitol Hill. Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey apparently is on board. "Anything that is available in oil form, ointment form and if it truly does help people, I am okay with that," he told reporters Thursday. The Lt. Governor cautioned that this does not signal a potential gateway to medical marijuana down the road. The measure is also getting help from a state senator who is also a physician.Senator Mark Green of Clarksville told a senator committee this week that he "reluctantly took a while to come to this," but after studying the issue said "benefits are very high...downside is minimal.'A vote in the Senate could come next week, the House a week later.

Kobe Bryant did not attend a meeting with officials from the Turkish team Besiktas in Los Angeles on Thursday, reports Turkish TV reporter Ismail Senol. But Bryant's agent Rob Pelinka did, and Senol reports that the meeting was "positive." The two camps will meet again on Friday.
According to club sources, Besiktas-Pelinka meeting was positive. Kobe wasn't there. Club made an official offer. Today they'll meet again.
Last weekend while attending a charity soccer game in Washington, D.C., Kobe downplayed the potential of playing for Besiktas, which has already signed New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams. But the Lakers' star has said he'll play anywhere during the NBA lockout if the right deal can be struck, and it's unlikely his agent -- who has a number of other high-profile clients, including Andre Iguodala -- would be taking meetings with Besiktas if a deal were not remotely possible.
Kobe had previously been reported to be demanding $1 million per month to play overseas, but that might be low. Reports out of China suggest that the top NBA players could draw up to $2 million per month in the Middle Kingdom.

Reviews for Grilled Potatoes & Peppers
Sort By :
Very good!
This one was wonderful! ( we were a bit thirst the rest of the day so maybe watch the spices) I will definitely be making this one again and again. We substituted the green pepper for red and orange and I am sure when my teenage son goes back to college we might add a few more vegetables too and still think this one is a winner.
Loved the seasoning. Simple to combine and prepare.
Fantastic taste...nice seasoning. The ingredients were easy to prep. I would also prepare this in a moderate oven in "non-grilling" months. I could also add cooked Italian sausage chunks for a total meal.
Made this over the weekend for fussy son and wife. I made it according to the recipe, grilled it and we all loved it. I am sending the recipe to my sister-in-law because I am sure her family will enjoy it.

|Ringwoodite lamellae in olivine: Clues to olivine-ringwoodite phase transition mechanisms in shocked meteorites and subducting slabs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15479764 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|The first natural occurrence of ringwoodite lamellae was found in the olivine grains inside and in areas adjacent to the shock veins of a chondritic meteorite, and these lamellae show distinct growth mechanism. Inside the veins where pressure and temperature were higher than elsewhere, ringwoodite lamellae formed parallel to the [101] planes of olivine, whereas outside they lie parallel to the (100) plane of olivine. The lamellae replaced the host olivine from a few percent to complete. Formation of these lamellae relates to a diffusion-controlled growth of ringwoodite along shear-induced planar defects in olivine. The planar defects and ringwoodite lamellae parallel to the [101] planes of olivine should have been produced in higher shear stress and temperature region than that parallel to the (100) plane of olivine. This study suggests that the time duration of high pressure and temperature for the growth of ringwoodite lamellae might have lasted at least for several seconds, and that an intracrystalline transformation mechanism of ringwoodite in olivine could favorably operate in the subducting lithospheric slabs in the deep Earth.

Last year, the two hot customer relationship management trends to watch and adopt  were social CRM and mobile CRM. To find out whether they will continue to dominate the CRM landscape and what other trends organizations should pay attention to, CIO.com talked to leading CRM solution vendors and analysts. In the process, we came up with eight CRM trends to watchÂand implement in 2012.
1. Cloud-based CRM services will continue to gain traction
"Old CRM was people inside the company talking about [customers]," says Peter Coffee, vice president and head of Platform Research at Salesforce.com. Increasingly, however, "the information that's most important in a CRM system originates outside [company] walls, in conversations on social networks and in other external sources." Cloud-based applications are ideally suited to capturing this information and turning it into actionable intelligence, Coffee says. It no longer makes sense "to continue investing in on-premise infrastructure whose job is to go out into the cloud and scoop up intelligence when cloud-based [software] can do that better as well as more cost effectively," he says.

2. It's all about the interface
"Application usability is becoming a more important issue within the enterprise, and CRM is no exception," says Mitch Lieberman, vice president, market strategy for Sword Ciboodle, a global provider of customer engagement solutions. "Users are picky about their workspace, now more than ever represented by the screen in front of them," which could be a laptop computer, an iPad, or a smart phone. In addition, users don't want to have to remember keystroke combinations such as alt-tab to make things work. "Data needs to be available through one UI [user interface], in context," he says. So the CRM software you use (or choose) should be accessible and comprehensible on both a traditional and mobile platform - with a customizable, user-friendly interface.
3. CRM will be the place to pull it all together
As the number of ways in which companies interact with customers continues to grow, CRM systems will play a bigger role in building quality relationships, says Pamela O'Hara, president of Batchbook, a social CRM solution provider. "Businesses that use CRM effectively will benefit from pulling all the loose strings together in one place and developing a stronger bond with each customer," O'Hara says. Furthermore, by centralizing customer data, she argues, "companies will be able to provide better service and more targeted offers to customers."

Now that we can once again talk basketball (hooray!!!), I was taking a gander at the upcoming free agent class as the new CBA makes clear, the Kings have got to spend some cash this abbreviated offseason. Here are some names I like and might be worth a shot. I will not include the obvious choices of Nene or Gasol. I think you give a max offer to Nene on the first day possible and watch as he signs elsewhere. You still have to make that offer, in my opinion. Gasol is tricky, not worth a max contract; but it might take that to outbid the other suitors, including Memphis. I am also assuming that Dalembert is gone and is gone for free (i.e. without a sign-and-trade bringing other contracts/assets). On to the list (in no particular order)...
Jeff Green SF (Restricted) - Why not throw some money at a restricted player and see if we can win a game of chicken? Probably because Jeff Green isn't worth the money you would throw at him as it would take at least $6MM (likely more) to pry him away from the Celtics (or some other team). The Celtics have no cap space and I don't see how they can sign him and still field a team of more than 5 people as they are still paying Shaq and Rasheed Wallace $8MM per. At any rate, since the Kings are improving the SF spot and are willing to spend $8.5MM on John Salmons, why not spend another $8MM on Jeff Green, a better player?
Caron Butler SF - Along those same lines, if you are going to spend on Salmons to improve the SF marginally, why not spend $10-12MM on a very clear improvement. Offensively, Butler is one of the top SF in the league when healthy. Caron is not the best defender, but is long and can block some shots. If the Kings are trying to win now, and I believe that they should, Caron Butler might be one of the Kings' better options. Perhaps Caron will command a price of $15-20MM and this I cannot do. However, I say drop a $40MM check (if healthy) into his lap and see if he suits up in purple.
Mike Dunleavy SF - I know, I know... it's Mike freakin' Dunleavy! Indiana has cap space so they might want to re-sign him; I'm not sure how the Pacers feel about MD. Hell, I'm not sure about how I feel about Mike Dunleavy. If you accept him for what he is, a solid SF and nothing more, then he might be a good acquisition. He shoots a good FG% and 3pt FG%, an asset the kings could use. Imagine if you will if the Kings actually had a 3pt threat at the three position? MD could be what we were all hoping Casspi could be. Now, how much is MD worth? Hmm.... honestly, I might just drop that same $40MM check I was going to give to Caron and hand it to Dunleavy. However, he makes $15MM now and might not want to take a paycut. Too bad, I don't see how he makes that in the new NBA and he would be lucky to get the $10MM I am proposing.
Shane Battier SF/PF - Consummate professional. Diminishing skills but a good veteran leader, How can you not like Shane Battier? Give him $8-10MM for 3 years and he could be had. He might want that price for a bit longer but you can obviously see why I would be hesitant to give it to him (hint - he'll be 37)
Erick Dampier C - The Kings will need a backup center and Erick Dampier is a center. Literally that is the only logic I can come up with to justify this pick. Well, in all honesty Damp is not a bad center, he is just not a good one either. Will he re-sign for the minimum with the Heat again, perhaps. Will he turn down $6-8MM to play for the Kings, perhaps. Would I be upset if the kings actually signed him for that amount, perhaps.
Carl Landry PF - I put Hot Carl on this list purely for nostalgia. It would be great to get him back just to have acquired the rights to Thornton (who should be resigned) for free. I do think that Carl is a bad fit as there is no real need at the PF spot with JJ and JT. Pick up Darnell and I would be OK with how the Kings sit at the four. No need to pay unless serious talent can be had at that position.
Andrei Kirilenko PF - So of course I follow that statement up by listing another PF. AK has talent, but I'm not sure that he has enough to justify both the money and the logjam at the 4. Just to clarify, AK47 does not play SF very well. He is a PF and only plays well as a PF, just ask Jerry Sloan... wait a minute he was fired... really?!? I guess he must have lost the battle with Deron Williams. Wait, he was traded... really?!? Then why did they fire Jerry Sloan? Exactly. I digress, AK47 is a beast on D, and can get his points without having to call his number. He's a team player and I have just always wanted to see him on my team (Jazz fans may disagree). Now the hard part, what is AK47 worth? Max...heck no, I'm sure hoping he isn't expecting that to happen again (yes AK47 is currently a max player...yikes). He's not worth the $18MM or so he makes now, and I might regret saying this, but I'd give him from $10-15MM per year and a $50-60MM contract and pray for the best.
Spencer Hawes C - This pick is not quite as nostalgic as the Landry pick. The Kings need a backup center and Shawes just might be serviceable in that role. Not sure how Philly feels about Spencer and if they will retain his services, but I'd take a roll of the dice one more time (how soon we all forget...well at least me). What's he worth... I'm not sure. He makes $9MM now, and that price seems a bit stiff to me. I'd probably offer the same $6-8MM that I was going to give to Dampier and offer it to Spencer. Is it enough, I have no idea but worth a try. Plus we will get to see him in his peaches shirt more often and that, my friends, is priceless.
Aaron Afflalo SG (Restricted), Nick Young SG (Restricted) - I lumped these two together because I really don't want them, yet I do. The Kings are fairly stacked at SG, at least for the likes of these two gentlemen. They are restricted and likely to be matched, however if you can acquire some talent it might be worth it as we have the space and we need to use it. Acquiring either of these two would certainly mean that perhaps we do not resign MT or perhaps we make some other moves. If you get Afflalo or Young, you play them. Perhaps Thornton could be first off the bench and we could have a sick guard rotation.
Summing it all up, the Kings need to spend money. They do not need to waste money, but it doesn't magically get any better than this year's FA class, so you might as well fill your needs while you can. I would really be disappointed if the Kings adopted a wait till next year approach to FA and spent the cap space on scrubs (some of you may feel that my list fits that description). I don't want everyone on this list, but I would like the Kings to attempt to make some moves to improve the roster. I see my Niners doing well and I think that it is right about the time for the Kings to rise again. I have rooted for horrible teams for too long and it is my turn to reap the rewards. The Kings have enough young talent to win now and it is time to spend some money and roll the dice and see what happens. Our time is now.

TSJ met Abigail Ratchford online, and we just clicked, you know? Here she is, modeling in swimwear that one could barely imagine actually swimming in, because swimming is overrated.
The Smoking Jacket: You model in all kinds of matching top and bottom underpants. What's your fave color to wear?
Abigail Ratchford: My favorite color to wear is either gold/nude for the summer, or green, because it makes my eyes pop!
TSJ: Are you having a hard time finding the right support for your ample cleavage? Who makes the best bras for you and yours?
AR: I can't always get the bathing suits I want because not everyone carries my size top. Victoria's Secret is usually pretty consistent but every now and then they will have a bra or bikini that only goes to a D-cup and I can't get, which kills me. I have tried to squeeze into the D-cup but I literally spill over the top and can't breathe!
TSJ: Do you experience lower back pain? If so, what's the best way to alleviate this discomfort?
AR: I only get lower back pain when I run, go on the eliptical or sleep on my sides. I have to always wear extra supportive sports bras that zip up with a zipper and dont allow for any shifting or bouncing when I run — Haha.
TSJ: What's your craziest modeling experience?
AR: My craziest modeling experience was shooting in this big graffiti warehouse in Baltimore. The photographer had rented it out for a few hours before other people had to use it. A few kids my age came in early and were skateboarding all around me, lighting incense, and turning off all the lights except for black lights and glow sticks and jamming out to music. I think they were doing this to grab my attention because they were so over the top. Throughout all of this I was pretending not to notice just so we could wrap up our shoot even though I wanted to put on a bathrobe over my bikini and run away!!
TSJ: Where do you like to visit?
AR: I love visiting New York City. Its just so diverse and magic and I feel so inspired when I see the kind of hustle out there.
"I have tried to squeeze into the D-cup but I literally spill over the top and can't breathe!"
TSJ: Where do you like to live?
AR: I'd like to live in France in a big chateau on a ton of land and no neighbors to bother me. I like my space and just doing my own thing.
TSJ: Snacking: We dig? We crave? Sweet? Or salty?
AR: Snacks — my favorite are sweets, gummy bears, licorice, good and plentys. I CRAVE chocolate all the time but cant have it because it's bad for my diet and skin. If I want a treat that's not horribly bad, I will have a graham cracker with some cold, fat-free Cool Whip and strawberries on top. My all time favorite snack is by Chex Mix, and it's like a mix of chocolate, peanut butter, cereal and pretzels all rolled in powdered sugar. It's orgasmic.
TSJ: I see you're wearing a yellow crochet bathing suit in one of your pics. What are the advantages and disadvantages of sporting that kind of knitted getup to the beach?
AR: That yellow crochet bathing suit will probably never be worn again. It's so fragile. If you adjust the bottom, the top exposes you, you cant sit down, it rides up when you walk, etc. It was difficult enough for the shoot, just posing in it, I cant imagine swimming in it ever!! The one advantage is that its so unbelievably sexy and is a total jaw dropper! If only it was wearable!

April 21, 2013
By Charles GoldbergAuburnTigers.com
AUBURN — Auburn equestrian coach Greg Williams had a 13-hour bus ride from Waco, Texas to the famed oaks in Auburn for one last roll of Toomer's Corner on Sunday night.
It was worth every second.
Williams watched his equestrian team win the national championship on Saturday in a ride-off over Georgia, and prompted Auburn to extend the final roll of the oaks by a day. The final celebration was supposed to be after Saturday's A-Day Game, but the equestrian team changed all of that.
"I felt like Auburn kept the party going and waited on our girls to get here," Williams said.
These Tigers didn't come empty-handed, Williams said.
"They brought the party favors with them."
Like what? Like the national championship trophies.
Auburn is supposed to remove the trees Tuesday. But there was still time to celebrate another national championship before that.
"The Auburn spirit is alive and well," said Athletics Director Jay Jacobs after the overtime roll Sunday.
Auburn won the Hunt Seat national title and then the overall national title by beating Georgia 3-1 in the ride-off.
Williams selected Elizabeth Benson in the Hunt Seat and Cheyenne Cracraft in Western to represent Auburn. They came through.
"For me to be chosen," said Cracraft, "it showed the whole team was standing behind us and rooting for us. It was a great honor."
Benson came through, winning for the eighth time over the weekend.
"Going to the final round you know you really have to bring to get those three or four final points," she said.
Williams said the ride-off set up well for Auburn.
The National Collegiate Equestrian Association event featured the top equestrian teams. Benson and Cracraft finished off the competition, but other Auburn riders who scored points Saturday included Hasbrouck Donovan, Lindsay Portela, Quincy Hayes and Jennifer Waxman.
Still, Auburn's win came late.
"It's an extremely stressful three days," Williams said. "The pressure builds and builds and builds. You have no breathing room. You can't make errors. I felt like they gained more and more confidence through the weekend."
Though the oaks will soon be gone, rolling Toomer's Corner on Sunday wasn't an end for Auburn, Williams said.
"It definitely it won't be the last time it'll be rolled for a national championship."

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Ian Dipple Friday 04 April 2014 Updated: 04/04 17:05
MOTORCYCLISTS who drive in an anti-social or dangerous way are being targeted by police as part of a new campaign.
Specialists teams including motorcycle police, speed enforcement officers and the Operational Patrol and Collision Investigation units will be out in force around the A441 Alcester and Alvechurch Highways and the Evesham Road in Astwood Bank tomorrow (Saturday).
It marks the start of a campaign set to run throughout the spring and summer months to target motorcyclists who speed, ride inappropriately and cause a nuisance.
West Mercia Police and the Safer Roads Partnership are involved in the campaign which is in response to complaints from residents.
Sgt Stuart Allen, from the Operational Policing Unit, said at this time of year the roads concerned were always busy with bikers testing their skills and often racing up and down.
"There is an obvious road safety issue here which needs to be addressed for the safety of all road users and that's why we are launching this operation. This action is also being taken in support of people living around the areas who have complained through their safer neighbourhood team or parish council about the noise and high speeds of the machines involved," he said.
"We intend to continue with this initiative until the message gets through to the minority of motorcyclists causing the problems that their activities will not be tolerated. It also demonstrates the police and the Safer Roads Partnership listen to community concern and act upon it where necessary."
Subsidised motorcycle skills courses are also being offered priced at £25 for a half day course and £50 for a full day.

Happy Cinco de Mayo. This is the only day they do this — if you get pulled over for drunk driving, they put salt around the rim of the breathalyzer.
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday celebrated by over 80 million Mexicans — and that's just here in Los Angeles.
Yesterday was "Youth Day" in China, so the kids only had to work a 15-hour day.
The United Nations has appointed Iran to sit on the Women's Rights panel. Also on the panel: Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Brown, Phil Spector, Robert Blake, and chairman, O.J. Simpson.
Last night, the audience was awful. It was as quiet in here as Cinco de Mayo in Arizona.
In Arizona, they don't like immigrants. That's odd, because right across the border, in California, they elected one as governor.
New York City is very festive for Cinco de Mayo. The mayor had them fill all the potholes with salsa.
There are 200,000 gallons of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. British Petroleum has put more birds in oil than Colonel Sanders.
Top Ten Things Overheard At BP Headquarters
Happy Cinco de Mayo. If you don't know what that means, maybe you're a little out of touch — or maybe you're the governor of Arizona.
A lot of the U.S. used to be part of Mexico, including Arizona. But they're a bit touchy about that right now.
I don't drink anymore for Cinco de Mayo. I celebrate with Mexican food, or as it's known in Mexico: "food."
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army's surprise victory over sobriety back in 1862.
Oddly, Cinco de Mayo is more popular here than in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo to us is what David Hasselhoff is to Germany.
Authorities say Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bombing suspect, used the wrong kind of fertilizer, which is what happens when you don't watch Martha Stewart.
It was reported that Shahzad went to terrorist camp in Pakistan. Honestly, who are these parents that are sending their kids to terrorist camp?
It's Cinco de Mayo, or as they call it in Arizona: May 5th.
Police in Texas arrested a man who was using the alias "Barack Obama" while trying to steal money from 35 ATMs. They could tell something was up when a guy named Barack Obama was trying to take money from banks instead of giving it to them.
Nissan is recalling almost 135,000 Infiniti G35s to address an airbag problem. When Toyota heard that, they said, "Airbags! I knew we forgot something."
A new survey found that 12 percent of parents punish their kids by banning social networking sites. The other 88 percent punish their kids by joining social networking sites.

In reading some of the most recurring debates on MHR recently, I have come to form some of my own opinions on several players on the Broncos' roster. Everyone has had a compelling case to support one idea over another, but in the process of looking at both sides of each debate, I have drawn some of my own conclusions.
via cbschicago.files.wordpress.com
The Tebow vs Orton debate has become frequent recently, and for many valid reasons remains one of the biggest concerns going into the offseason. This morning's news at The New York Times indicates that there is a new discussion on pushing the March 4 CBA deadline further out. The uncertainty of the starting QB position will linger for some time and the debate will only follow along, as the fans will need closure on who the Broncos' starting QB will be next season.
What should the Broncos do with Orton?
I believe the team will keep Orton on the roster as long as there is no new CBA in place. This is stating the obvious, but I mean it in the context of whether the Broncos intend to trade him at all, and my opinion is yes. Just as many have wisely suggested that he is trade bait until a new agreement is in place, I believe he will be a goner, once that does finally take place.
Once there is a new agreement between the owners and players' union, they ought to trade him. If it gets done before the draft, then trade him for a 2nd round pick, if possible. Settle for no less than a 3rd and a 4th, however. If the agreement is not in place 'till long after the draft, the better choice at that point is to use him in a trade for another player, one who will fill a position of need.
Teams that need a good QB are the Vikings, Dolphins, 49-ers, and Cardinals, to name a few. As an example, I think 49-ers HC Jim Harbaugh is being very shrewd in not closing the door on his incumbent QB, Alex Smith. As indicated in a MercuryNews article recently, he's been very short when discussing the current starter, while the GM has been more candid, stating that they'll pursue all avenues, including free agency. Could this be an opportunity for an Orton trade, once FA begins?
Prior to the draft, if I may be so optimistic, I don't see San Fran giving up their #45 pick for Orton, but I do see them using their 3rd (#76) and their 4th (#107) picks to acquire Orton as more of a short term stop-gap. Harbaugh stated he likes accuracy from his QB first and foremost, and as long as Orton stays healthy, he will have that from Kyle. It would be to no one's surprise, if Harbaugh would in the long-run, intend to draft Andrew Luck the following year, making Orton his backup, but whether that will actually occur is up to a lot of factors beyond his control. And from our perspective, there is no question that the Broncos would benefit from such a trade, assuming the CBA is in place prior to the draft, which would provide them some much needed ammunition.
Obviously, I feel comfortable with Tebow and believe that the team has been posturing to keep Orton's value at a high level. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the FO is praying that the new CBA will get worked out before the draft, so that Orton could be traded for much-needed picks.

DJ Williams
The general opinion among most fans is that he is excellent in space, but disappears when a blocker is assigned to him - and I agree with this entirely. Sadly, I think offenses love to gameplan by sending a lineman, FB, or TE right at DJ, and asking the RB to follow that block. When DJ's blocked out of a play, it can mean an additional 5 yards rushing, if not more for that offense.
What should the Broncos do with DJ?
I believe that in a 4-3, he is a more natural 'Will' LB and should benefit from sound scheming. Xanders stated at the combine yesterday that John Fox and Dennis Allen are currently working on developing a defensive playbook for the Broncos, and penciling in DJ at the weakside position is likely.
The Broncos are thin at LB, just as they are thin in a few other positions on defense. After wrestling with this for a while, I believe there are at least 3 capable starters for this scheme:
Sam: Joe Mays
Mike: Wesley Woodyard
Will: DJ Williams
Placing Woodyard at Mike appears risky, but I believe this may work. From what I have seen, he has the skillset to stop the run, drop into coverage, and rush the passer. In addition to these, he has also shown the kind of leadership backed up by exemplary effort and play that you would expect from a defensive captain. I have been waiting to see Wood replace DJ in the starting lineup for some time now, and in light of the scheme change, this may allow both of them to start at different positions.Wesley could surprise us.
Mario Haggan is an interesting player, capable of playing Mike as well (he was a MLB in Buffalo,) but he excels on STs and I think he should contribute the most in that role.
Joe Mays may be a bit of a risk at Sam, but from everything I saw last year, he improved in his coverage, which made him that much more dangerous, when taking his vicious physical style of play into account.
Neglecting FA since it's very difficult which player will be allowed to walk, there are a few draft options: Denver could take Martez Wilson with their #36 pick and move Woodyard to Sam or as a backup at either Sam or Mike position, whenever Wilson is ready to start as a Mike LB. If Wilson is gone or is not their preference, Greg Jones could be had at #46 and would make a great leader for the defense. Mason Foster would be great as a Sam, but the Broncos may have to use their #36 pick on him, or he may not fall to their 2nd 2nd round pick.
There is no doubt that Denver should acquire more depth to bolster this unit, but as long as DJ is moved to Will, I think he can stay.The lack of numbers just do not afford the Broncos the luxury of considering trading him.
This is the motherload of issues going into the offseason. Orton may get a lot of attention because QB is the premiere position in football, and fans' debates will rage on into the night over this topic, but Doom's caught in a precarious position and it warrants a more expanded discussion.
The idea of trading Doom has come up in recent discussions, following Stink's comments that he doesn't believe Elvis will be productive out of the 4-3 DE spot. I can understand why he'd say this, and it's possible that he's being short-sighted in doing so. But I will concede however, that the Broncos are as thin at DE when considering the 4-3 base defense, as they are at LB and Safety. So could Stink be exaggerating Doom's future or is he onto something?
What should the Broncos do with Doom?
Let me be clear that as a Bronco fanatic, I would like for Doom to stay in Denver. In an ideal world, I'd love for him to retire a Bronco. Denver's invested a lot of time and money in him (perhaps too much) and should reap the rewards long-term. He's a good sport, is loved by his teammates and the fans, and has been a very productive player for the defense in nearly every season that he's played. The 2010 season provided evidence that without Doom in the lineup, the Broncos could not generate a pass rush from their remaining players.
And that's a valid concern, but the more I think about the big picture, the less comfortable I am in expecting that he'll regain his 2007 form (he played through injury in 2008) next year or even the year after. If the Broncos want to win soon and are making a scheme change to the 4-3, will Doom meet expectations as an every-down 4-3 DE? This is a tough one to answer. And is it really wise to expect the pass rush to come from only one player? Is it ever a good idea to put all of your eggs in one basket?
In my opinion, the answer is no. The Broncos' FO must begin planning for the long term future and that takes Doom's future into account. Either they:
1. Draft Bowers for talent and much needed depth at DE (or bring in a FA) until Doom is 100%, which is a long term plan filled with hope that may not work out for Doom's value or
2. Consider trading Doom for an immediate impact replacement, allowing Denver to use the #2 pick on someone other than DE. The thought of having 1st round pick Ayers, Doom with his big contract, and Bowers at the #2 spot seems ridiculous from a contractual standpoint and doesn't make good business sense for Denver.
If the second option is exercised, then the apparent solution I believe, is to trade him to Houston, but would the Texans be willing to make such a trade?
Currently, these players are earning premium money, so it's understandable that the teams would want to get the most value out of them, especially if they want to win right away. The Texans aren't getting the value back from Mario's rookie deal of 6 years, $54 million, with $26.5 guaranteed, by playing him at 3-4 DE and he's also about to command a new contract. Are the Texans willing to risk experimenting with Mario Williams in the 3-4? If it doesn't work out, then his value will drop and probably won't resign him. Ultimately the Texans risk losing a pro-bowler and getting nothing in return, which makes this situation interesting, because of the sense of urgency as well as the potential benefit for each team.
In 2010, Dumervil received a 6 year, $61.5 million deal with $43 mil guaranteed. Should the Broncos pay him that type of money for another 5-12 sack season? Let's be honest with ourselves: he's a premier 3-4 OLB, and he received that contract to be an OLB, instead of a 5'11" 248 pound DE. It's rare to have a trade option come up where it's a straight up player for player. (Clint Portis for Champ Bailey is the last one I can think of.) Could this be a win-win?
And herein lies the dilemma. Is it worth the loss of an undersized pass rusher, who is now better suited for the previous scheme, to an instant contributor in the current scheme? This is a tough one. I admit I am torn.
