Wearing sunscreen your best shield against skin issues, expert warns
The easiest, best way to protect oneself from sun damage of any kind is to wear sunscreen each day, says Hendrick Health System's Michelle Boone — even if only doing mundane activities that bring you outside.
Boone, education services manager for Hendrick Cancer Center, said that wearing an SPF 30, broad-spectrum sunscreen that filters both Ultraviolet B and Ultraviolet A (radiation is key to protecting one's skin.
Both types of rays have been linked to skin cancer and a weakening of the immune system.
Sunscreens with an SPF of 15 protect the skin from 94 percent of UVB radiation, while those with a SPF of 30 protect against 97 percent.
But many sunscreen manufacturers have started including ingredients that protect the skin from some UVA rays, and such broad-spectrum screens are "highly recommended," according to the EPA.
Boone said people should be sure to protect their necks and ears, areas not commonly shielded by a hat, from the sun.
And one should also wear sunglasses to shield against ultraviolet radiation and protect the skin around the eyes.
"If you do choose to tan, and we don't suggest that, make sure you can see a dermatologist or some sort of physician who can regularly scan you for skin cancer," she said.
Any noticeable changes in one's skin, moles, etc. should be checked out by a physician, she said.

text: A friend just gave me a head's up that the 2010 National Championship Game is available for download in iTunes--it's $2.99. Didn't know if anybody had posted about this yet. At nearly 3 hours, I think it's worth a buck per sixty minutes of Alabama returning to national prominence--not to mention being able to screen the game at your own leisure at your computer (or on your iPhone, if you just have to).

What's The Germiest Place In Your Refrigerator?
Before you eat that carrot or lettuce, you should know that recent studies show the germiest place in your refrigerator is the produce drawer.
Before you eat that carrot or lettuce, you should know that recent studies show the germiest place in your refrigerator is the produce drawer.
This Sunday is the day for the annual Jersey Shore University Medical Center's 5K run/ walk and Community Day.
Kick Cancer Overboard is a non profit organization dedicated to raising money to give cancer patients something amazing to look forward to, like a gorgeous cruise, and the group will benefit from the Excel Travel Ocean Avenue Mile in Long Branch.
I remember reading the horrific and hate-filled anonymous letter sent to a mom complaining about her son with autism and being shocked that someone could be so hurtful. That mom has now written a response letter, and it's wonderful.
Here are eight things you can eat to have better skin!
They're called Sqeeze'Ems, and they're reusable food pouches for your child's lunch box!
The unfortunate truth is that there are a few cruel and mean people that are among us. What's worse, is that most of them are ignorant. This is a mixture for the situation the mother of an autistic child is dealing with.
We all know someone (perhaps ourselves?!) who do these things almost every day!
Sometimes Mondays can be a tough day to get inspired to do anything, but if you knew you could help kids battling cancer, that would certainly inspire you, right?
Stop eating the following foods. Now. The bottom line is that if you don't want you and your kids to get cancer, read this list of the foods you are buying every day in the grocery store to feed your family.
If you want to be inspired to eat healthier....these are EASY choices!
When it comes to the most fit cities in the world, no New Jersey towns make the top 10. But the good news is we're nowhere to be found in the bottom 10 either.

"The Fed spoke and financial markets rallied," began the Associated Press report on how the stock market responded after the policy-making panel of the Federal Reserve Board issued a statement Tuesday, saying the federal funds rate (the interest banks charge other banks for borrowed money) would be held to 0 to 1/4 percent through the middle of 2013. The Dow Jones industrial average surged more than 429 points, just one day after its biggest decline since 2008.
But the Fed's influence over the volatile stock market is of short duration and its ability to bolster a sagging economy is illusory. The Federal Open Market Committee's promise of low interest rates was accompanied by an assessment of current market conditions that look anything but promising. "Indicators suggest a deterioration in overall labor market conditions in recent months, and the unemployment rate has moved up. Household spending has flattened out, investment in nonresidential structures is still weak, and the housing sector remains depressed," the committee reported. On the plus side, "business investment in equipment and software continues to expand."
With gold bouncing up from $1,668 an ounce on Friday, August 5 to $1,778 on Tuesday, August 9, it was the biggest three-day rally since the start of the great recession in 2008. At the same time, the equities markets were falling precipitously, losing over 600 points on the Dow on Monday alone. What is the connection?
The easy answer is fear, loss of confidence, and uncertainty. A credit rating agency has taken away the United States' top-tier AAA rating on its bonds, the spreading debt crisis in the Eurozone has now reached Italy and Spain, and the assumptions tying the financial system together are beginning to be questioned. In its report entitled "On the Coming Gold War," Redburn Partners says a "rising gold price is a warning signal: it casts doubt on the US economy…. Gold is the only asset to outperform in periods of either uncontrollable inflation or deflation: the US economy is on the knife-edge between the two … gold is a vital barometer."
The communist Chinese dictatorship blasted the U.S. government for endangering its massive dollar holdings, calling for America to rein in its out-of-control debt by slashing military spending and welfare. The regime also demanded international supervision of the dollar and even suggested the creation of a new global reserve currency.
The attack came in the form of an editorial from Xinhua News Agency, one of the dictatorship's official propaganda arms, following the downgrade of American debt last week by Standard & Poor's (S&P). It immediately made headlines around the world.
"China, the largest creditor of the world's sole superpower, has every right now to demand the United States to address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets," read the commentary. "To cure its addiction to debts, the United States has to reestablish the common sense principle that one should live within its means."
Former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan came up with a novel way to claim the U.S. government would never default on debt: print the difference. Greenspan told NBC's "Meet the Press" August 7, in response to a question about the recent downgrade in the U.S. bond rating by Standard and Poor's:
This is not an issue of credit rating. The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default.
Analysts ask, Zimbabwe-like inflation of the dollar is not default? They say that Greenspan won't find that argument very persuasive to bond-holders, who won't be able to buy anything with their bonds when they come due.
As fears over global markets grow, the European Central Bank (ECB) signaled that it would start buying more European-government bonds in an effort to prop up the economies and governments of beleaguered nations and the region as a whole. In other words, it will print even more money to temporarily bail out reckless regimes drowning in debt.
But rather than calming investors, the announcement only sparked more confusion and turmoil. Follow-up reports added fuel to the fire.
Citing traders, several news outlets claimed that the central bank bought Irish and Portuguese bonds on August 4 — not Spanish or Italian debt as was expected. Ireland and Portugal, of course, have both received hundreds of billions in bailouts already.
Claiming that presidential candidate Ron Paul leads the "economic suicide wing" of the Republican Party, Brent Budowsky, writing for The Hill, says that Paul is the "worst possible role model" for Republicans because he suggested that a default by the government "would be OK." Budowsky calls Paul a "Banana Republican," claiming that Paul is taking an extremist position, adding that keeping the debt ceiling in place and putting the government on a diet would "literally crash American and global markets … that would do grave damage to our nation."
The extreme hard-line attitude of many Republicans [including Paul] has significantly raised the prospects for a national default and rating agency downgrades that would sweep across the nation and many states, causing an economic cataclysm and public outrage unlike anything ever seen in the history of the republic.
According to no less a source than Forbes magazine, a U.S. default is no longer a question of if. It's when. In a July 23 article, Forbes' Addison Wiggin warned readers not to get caught holding U.S. dollars when the United States government defaults — again.
During a 2½ year period starting at the end of 2007, the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in secret bailouts to banks and other companies around the world, according to a government audit of some of the U.S. central bank's operations.
Much of the Fed's largesse was lavished on banks in Europe (such as Barclays, pictured) and Asia, the audit revealed. More than $3 trillion, for example, went to financial institutions in just five European countries. Trillions more flowed toward some of the biggest banks in America. Institutions from Brazil and Mexico to South Korea and Canada also benefited.
The 266-page report, produced by Congress's non-partisan investigative service known as the Government Accountability Office (GAO), has already sparked intense outrage since its release on July 21.
When public debt abounds, politicians look to slippery ways to keep buying votes with tax dollars while reassuring skittish markets that everything is okay. America, of course, faces a deficit showdown driven, largely, by the explosion in federal expenditures during the reign of Obama. The glut of mandated money (currency backed by the "full faith and credit of the United States" — and nothing else) has produced predictable economic behavior.
People invest in what they believe will be safe. Real estate, historically, has been a good investment for most Americans. But when the federal government pushes and bribes big lenders to make imprudent loans, and the predictable avalanche of defaults occurs, then an artificial glut of housing drives down the market price and strips hard-working families of the investment that had been the principal economic asset of the family.
Money is anything that is commonly accepted as a medium of exchange, with government interjecting itself into the equation by designating certain notes as "legal tender." Historically, mediums of exchange have included gold and silver as well as other forms of what might be called commodity money. Yet, you cannot pay your electric bill or your mortgage with a gold bar or even gold coins. You have to sell your gold for cash in order to use it to pay for things. Of course, at one time gold coins were used as money, but they aren't today. And there was a time when paper money was backed by gold or silver. Paper money was then redeemable in gold and silver at a fixed price. Those of us who are seniors remember the time when dollars were silver certificates. Now they are backed by the "full faith and credit of the government." But with government borrowing trillions of dollars in order to spend trillions of dollars, that "full faith and credit" is about to go down the drain.
Article One, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall have the power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of Foreign coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures."

Fan Poll: Final round of Best Player NOT in the NL
Scotty Komer may have seen his chances of making the Philadelphia roster to start the season go up in smoke when the Wings acquired Kevin Croswell from Washington, but he continues as a force to be reckoned with in IL Indoor's voting for the best player not in the National Lacrosse League. The goalie downed defender Ian Poole in a semi-final that drew nearly 100,000 votes. Maybe the number one fan of his power pop group Love You To Death decided to dedicate himself to Komer's online success rather than wearing his skin like a Scotty suit (listen to this song and you'll get it). The final may be Komer's biggest challenge, though, since for the first time he'll be the favourite and favourite's haven't fared well so far.
Ryan Hotaling, seeded 11th of the 12 players starting the competition, downed Dylan Llord by a solid margin in the other semi-final to reach the final pairing. Hotaling doesn't have a cool song to support his campaign, but as the only American in the poll he does carry the hopes of his country with pride.
So here we go, the final vote to decide who you think is the best player not in the NLL. Have at it.
[poll id="877"]

About this Blog:
A daily digest of IT blogs. Richi Jennings curates the best bloggy bits, finest forums, and weirdest websites… so you don't have to. Catch the key commentary from around the Web every morning.
Hewlett-Packard Co. may build netbook PCs running Google Inc.'s Linux-based Android operating system ... Satjiv Chahil, a vice president in HP's PC division, declined to comment on whether the world's largest PC maker will sell either netbooks or smartphones running Android but confirmed that HP is "studying" the free operating system.
Asustek Computer Inc., meanwhile, has said that it may build an Android netbook. Meanwhile, computer maker Dell Inc. is considering whether to build an Android-based smartphone.
With netbooks becoming such a hot hardware category, I still think Android may find its biggest success on non-phone platforms ... Among other developments on this front, Qualcomm is running Android on its Snapdragon chipset designed for netbooks and mobile Internet devices. (Another Qualcomm chip powers the G1 Android phone.)
The big question here is what chip Android-based netbooks might run. While some hackers have already put Android on x86-based platforms, Android is not officially designed to run on chips such as Intel's Atom.
The usual response to the idea of a desktop Linux from Ubuntu, Novell or Red Hat or anyone else is a loud cry of 'nonsense,' from the Windows crowd. Android, however, is different ... Google is different ... Someone who might be reluctant to try a PC running anything except Windows, and Windows XP by choice, might very well be willing to give a Google-powered netbook a try.
Most people won't care about that anymore than they care about the Google's search engine's Linux underpinnings. All they'll know is that their netbook or laptop is running something by a name they already know and trust. And, since these computers will be based on Linux, they'll cost less than their brothers running Windows.
Price is a big motivator at the low end of the market ... Now all of a sudden, the prospect of a "$100 notebook" isn't just something for giving to kids in remote African villages. We may even see them on the market here in the U.S. one day.
Technical experts view the idea with some skepticism. Kernel developer Matthew Garret wrote a blog entry earlier this year questioning the practicality of putting Android on netbooks and criticizing enthusiasts for jumping to conclusions.
Despite the lack of practicality, the buzz around potential Android netbooks continues. I think that this can largely be attributed to Google fetishism ... There are a number of the Google faithful who increasingly view Android as the ultimate solution to every platform problem, regardless of applicability.
Android is free, open-source, and extremely versatile ... the potential is off the charts ... Having Android on their netbooks would put Android at the forefront of the revolution.
Android in computers? Cool! Android in everyday life? Even better.

A local school playground in Sulphur got some much-needed help for disabled children on Saturday.
Nearly 100 volunteers showed up early to build the Jake Drost School for Exceptional Children playground.
It was a collaboration with Lyondell Basell's Global Care Day.
The school also is home to a Head Start Program.
Organizers said their motto is "Leave No Child Behind in the Classroom."
"As you can see, we are building a natural playground for some special needs kids. Everything from an outdoor classroom, to swings, hammocks, stepping stones - a whole myriad of musical instruments, an obstacle course including a swinging monkey bridge," said Adam Morris, of Lyondell Basell.
"Our mission statement building relationships where children can grow and learn and definitely our children are going to grow and learn from this. And we are just so appreciative for Lyondell for this because we couldn't have done it without them," said Jenna Wainwright of Jake Drost School Head Start.
Global Care Day took place at 70 sites in more than 20 countries.

Andre the Giant
Hope it works out. Would be a shame if he doesn't catch on somewhere. Looks like the giants know exactly when the right time is to let guys go. Both him and BJ had all of us up in arms when they were no longer Gaints. However neither has found a landing spot and I'm one of many that was surprised. Giants have had plenty of opportunity to resign both on the cheap but they don't even want to do that so that ahould tell you something
Football has been very, very good to us.
In the midst of this losing season, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle

Dear Pat -
I am on your side. I want you to succeed, and was thrilled to finally have an offensive minded head coach. And we are Browns fans, many who have lived through red right 88, the drive, the fumble, the helmet toss, and the wheelie. We have had staph almost kill our returning hometown heroes, and a penalty flag blind one of our lineman. We have QBs that have cried, coaches that have lied, one who wouldn't tell us who are starting QB was, and one even flipped a coin to decide our starting QB. He even called a timeout to see if he wanted to challenge a play, lost the challenge, 2 timeouts and you guessed it - it cost an opportunity to win the game.
So here is some advice - relax - we can handle the goofy stuff you will do. What we really don't enjoy is the confusing jumble you spew every week. I got news for you, you either knew Alex Smith was in the game and made a really stupid call, or didn't know personnel. No problem, just tell us what happened and treat us like the adults we all want to be some day. The kick is either blocked or it wasn't. No big deal, we can handle either option, but hearing you handle the question like it is a matter of national security is tiring.
And on the field, we are used to losing. We have been back 13 seasons, will be under 500 in 11 of them, and made the playoffs 1 time. Here is a hint - all the fair weather plans have left for other teams. We aren't going anywhere. But we do appreciate coaches that try to win. When we couldn't complete 45% of our passes, Mangini said screw it and ran the ball like 80 times a game. Most fans would throw up watching the brand of football we played, not us, we celebrated every win. Be daring. Don't worry about criticism. Go for the end zone. Tell us what you were really thinking. Accept criticism better, get a thicker skin - you will need it to survive the screw stuff that will happen only to you. You got time to turn this baby around, but start with yourself, and it will go much smoother.

Holy, holy, holy Lord. Three Persons, One God.
Similarly worship life at St. Michael's has different "faces", but one value
Value – To take God up on His offer to encounter and be in holy communion with Him through the powerfully forgiving and life-giving grace of His Son, Jesus Christ by the presence of His Holy Spirit
A General word about receiving the Sacrament
At St. Michael's all baptized Christians are considered members of the family of God and invited to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the meal of the baptized.
Absolutely anyone and everyone (regardless of baptismal status) has the option of coming forward at the time the Communion sacrament is administered to receive the love of Christ through the Blessing of the Church, if preferred.

Founded in 1994 and reorganized into a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) in 2011, Link Resources has differentiated itself as a provider of energy consulting, power plant management, operations and maintenance as well as owner's representation services - - across the spectrum of energy technologies (fossil, nuclear, biofuel, and renewable), locations, and contexts. We excel at aiding clients undergoing transitions, whether precipitated by changes in the market, energy plant development, new regulation, or organizational restructuring.
An examination of our credentials reveals competencies in every discipline required to achieve optimal commercial success over the life cycle of an energy or industrial facility. Link has provided executive and high-value services (both incremental and turn-key) to commercial, utility, and federal clients as they transitioned from R&D, through demonstration, scale-up, commercialization, financing, engineering/ procurement /construction (EPC), commissioning, performance testing, and has ultimately assumed long term accountability for commercial operations.
Link has extensive experience with electric utilities, independent energy producers, and industrial clients across the country and offshore as well - - from waste coal to biomass to oil/gas to biofuels to desalinization to CHP and the majority of the renewable energy technologies. Our skill-sets and experience are particularly well suited to DOD and DOE initiatives to improve energy security (short term and long term) while improving the environmental footprint of energy facilities.
Unlike most consultants, Link has millions of man-hours of hands-on operations experience, including cradle-to-grave as well as full-scope accountability for output or outcome, with lifecycle lessons-learned that can be applied to consulting assignments.

Although the story is a pretty blunt, it made two important statements. First, that Reagan did not arm the Soviet Union to death (a wide-spread myth at that time as well as today), second, that any peace effort is in vain without a little bit of mutual trust. Peace is risky.
I think it doesn't just work as the Cold War analogy it was meant to be, but also as a more general story about war and peace.
Now these are just ideas distilled from the movie, I can understand that you or other folks consider TUC as mediocre, e.g. the whole Gulag / Rura Penthe part is pretty cheesy.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Week 18 of Pregnancy: Your Posture Shifts
Your growing uterus shifts your center of gravity, and your lower back is pulled forward while your abdomen is thrust out. Couple that with the changes that the hormone relaxin is instituting, and you end up with backaches and pains.
Is it a girl? A boy? How about a melon? Yes, your uterus is about the size of a cantaloupe at 18 weeks pregnant (see how you're working your way through the produce department?) and can be felt about one and a half inches below your belly button — so have a feel. And speaking of feeling, in the next few weeks you'll also start feeling those first momentous fetal movements (they might feel more like gas bubbles) — assuring you that you are indeed carrying a baby and not a large fruit.
Something else you may be feeling is back pain during your pregnancy. Your growing uterus shifts your center of gravity, and your lower back is pulled forward while your abdomen is thrust out (good for tipping off the guy who got the last seat on the bus that you're pregnant, bad for your back muscles). Couple that with the changes that the pregnancy hormone relaxin is instituting — namely relaxing all your ligaments (including those that attach your pelvic bones to your spine) and loosening joints — and that leaves you with backaches and pains.
You can reduce back pain by using a foot rest to elevate your feet slightly when sitting. Even when standing, placing one foot on a low stool (when possible) can also take some pressure off your lower back. A long, warm bath can also do wonders for your aching back. If you have back pain that just won't quit, be sure to talk to your practitioner about it.

Hi!! I saw your post and thought I would give you a couple of ideas. I to am still liking the sweets so every night after dinner I have 1 sugar peice of chocolate and that seems to take away my cravings. The Dr. did say that a little chocolate would not hurt once in a while just keep it under 1/2oz As to your slower weight loss. I really think it could ne do to the fact you are eating the fruit late at night. What I do is have a piece of chicken instead with/or veggies I did in the yogurt dip that I made. I took plain yogurt and added a dill garlic spice to it. It makes a great dip for veggies. The diet does sayunlimited amounts of protien and cleansing veggies to I took that to heart and when I am hungery late at night that is what I go for. I have cheated once went out drinking and then last night had some boneless wings as I was startving and boyfriend ordered then and they got there before my meal did . Tomorrow is my first day of cycle 2 and so far I have lost 11.6 pounds hopefully will be a little more then that tomorrow morning Anyway just a few thoughts to maybe help you speed up the weight loss!
Ksarasera doesn't have much here yet. Stay tuned.

I believe the reason behind the flavored water is the amount of sodium in it. I looooovvee my flavored water, i used to work with a personal trainer and she told me to be careful of them because of it. I drink the fruit2o and its one of the flavored waters that have a lower amount of sodium, check out the grams on ur flavored H2o.

Your tireless efforts to keep the Sonics in Seattle were rivaled only by George W's efforts to hunt down terrorists, insomuch as neither actually occurred. Thanks for abusing your relationship with David Stern to screw a city out of their beloved team.
Also, thanks for destroying any semblance of a true northwest division. Who doesn't think of big oil and dusty plains when they think of the northwestern United States?
Thanks for blaming the people of Seattle for the outcome that was set in stone, by you, since the day you bought that team. It's definitely not enough to steal a team from it's rightful city and tradition after promising the previous owner you wouldn't "in good faith", but it's also important to blame it on the community on the way out.
Thanks alot, you big, fat smelly JERK!!

I have owned a Granite Gear Pulk more than a half…
Price Paid: I forget. I don't think it was $600 but I did purchase it brand new from a store
I have owned a Granite Gear Pulk more than a half dozen years now. I love it.
I needed to get groceries from the truck to my remote location residence in the mountains. I tried a kid's plastic sled first, carefully "postholing" to step in the same step, holding the edge of the plastic sled, scooting the sled along.
My Akita was very interested in the proceedings. I thought there must be a better way, but, I admit my first thought was a skijorn harness for my dog and he could pull it. But I purchased a Granite Gear Pulk instead.
Maybe I could have purchased a skijorn harness for the Akita, anyway, and he could pull the Granite Gear Pulk and I could follow behind the proceedings with a drag rope to slow him down, or, keep the Pulk on course?
The fact is, I found out the Granite Gear Pulk pulls so easily I don't really notice it much. In fact, I exercise in winter by pulling it on the dirt and gravel road around the back of the lake. It pulls so nicely on rolling terrain like that. I don't think that road has more than a small portion at 2-3% grade.
I have MSR Evo Ascent snowshoes for more rough terrain but I haven't used the Pulk for rougher terrain, except for some easy winter camping.
I hope to do more winter camping now that smaller tarps, tents and tipis made for hunters, I guess, have small wood stoves.
I just like making a winter camp.
I have considered using it with the shorter "mountaineering" skis.
I have considered using cross-country ski wax products on the hull.
I have used 303 Aerospace Protectorant product on it, top and bottom and inside out, for protection from deterioration from the harmful UV. It looks practically new, showing no sign of wear except a little on the bottom.
I do avoid dragging it over rocks or on gravel.

The Pulk Sled with its innovative harness makes getting your gear up the mountain or deep into the backcountry a smooth experience. Granite Gear's newest product comes form a very old idea. Pulk comes from a Laplander word, pulkke, meaning traveling sled. Though Granite Gear updated the materials from the traditional wood and reindeer hide, the idea is the same load it up, hook into the harness and pull your winter gear rather than carry it. With a crossed fiberglass stay system, flexible nylon connecting rods, and a zero play full body harness, this sled pulls and turns like a dream. The lightweight hull offers the lowest coefficient of friction (drag) on snow of any other plastic. The durable cover has 3 compression straps to secure gear and a full-length zipper for access. The hull's molded-in ski runners are just like those of cross-country grooming equipment, and can even be used to set tracks. The poles are constructed in such a way as to allow for normal hip rotation during turns on skis, helping the sled follow you and reducing the chance of pole breakage. The poles also break down into sections for easy transport. The advanced harness system involves your whole body in pulling the sled. Leg loops, hip belt, shoulder straps and three attachment points to the sled distribute the effort over all major muscle groups.--Vendor

The Nuggets are currently at 41-21, a game behind of the 43-21 Mavericks, who are on a 11-game winning streak. We are also a game ahead of the 40-22 Jazz. In other words, the standings right now are pretty darn close. If the Nuggets want to come out as the 2nd seed, they are going to have to sweep the next six games, which are...
Sunday at home versus Portland
The Blazers will have ample rest, and have found some success playing at a faster pace than normal (they finished last in the league in pace last season, and were pretty close to last up until a few weeks ago).
Brandon Roy has been leading this injury-plagued team to a decent 37-27 record, with a good deal of help by LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Andre Miller, Martell Webster, Marcus Camby, and this guy
They are a very tough team, and now that everybody is getting healthy they seem poised for a playoff push, and a win in Denver would be a huge confidence-booster for them. To beat the Blazers, it is instrumental to get out to an early lead, but more importantly, to hang onto that. Since Kenyon Martin is definitely out for today, I could foresee George Karl putting Joey Graham on LMA to rough him up. If the Nuggets can do this, and control Nicolas Batum, they should be fine, as Andre Miller isn't as good as he used to be and Camby is the master at pretending to play defense.
The next game will be an easy roadie on Wednesday against the Wolves. If the Nuggets lose this, I might rip apart my shirt the same way Darko Milicic (who's getting a consistent 15-20 minutes per game in Minnesota) ripped apart his jersey:
Or like how Darko went all berserk with his language here (caution: subtitles extremely NSFW):
Moving on...the dreaded 4 games in 5 nights bullcrap goes on from March 12 to March 16. The opponents are @New Orleans, @Memphis, @Houston, and at home vs. Washington. They aren't difficult, but it will be extremely difficult to win all four. If the Nuggets want to win all 4 of these (and all 6 in this 9-day stretch), then they need to focus hard and blow out New Orleans by the 3rd quarter so that the starters can have a good deal of rest. That should get the starters enough energy through the third quarter of the Memphis game, and I'd like to see J.R. step up there to give the rest of the Nuggets a burst of energy. The Grizzlies are on the second night of a back-to-back, so they'll be tired too. The Houston one is the most difficult of the bunch, primarily because they have arguably the league's best coach in Rick Adelman (yes, I just said that).
Generals Wizards Bullets Wizards! game should be the easiest, but the Nuggets will be tired like crap and again, we will need J.R. and Ty Lawson to step up (he should be back by then, as shoulder injuries usually don't last that long unless a ligament was torn). However, Washington will be on the second night of a back-to-back.
I personally can see the Nuggets going 6-0, but a lack of focus for even one quarter will push it to 5-1. The Mavericks have only four games from March 7 until March 17, and their opponents are Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Chicago. So I see 4-0 for them. The Jazz have a 4-game road trip at Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and OKC, as well as home dates against Washington and Minnesota in that stretch. I see 4-2 for them.
In other words, that means that if the Nuggets go 6-0, they'll be tied with the Mavs. If they go 5-1, then they'll still be a game behind. Go 4-2 and we are looking at a bit of a hole...
As for the poll...try not to be too biased in the Nuggets' favor.

While by no means to intend to stifle debate or stop the flow of opinions as we lead up to draft day, I would like to make one point,
For a Decade now Skins fans have been screaming for a real GM and a coach with power to do what they want not Snyderratos bidding. We have that now, now Shanahan was not my first choice, far from it in fact, but he is a proven head coach with a reputation and (Elway provided) rings, Bruce Allen seems like a good GM not great but solid with division winning seasons on his resume,
So here is my suggestion/hope/request whatever
I really do beleive we should trust what Shanahan and Allen do after Draft day has passed, so if they go QB and you are a JC supporter (as I sort of am) then you should accept it and move on, if you are a JC hater and they keep Campbell and draft the line and Safety or whatever, then support it and see what happens. Just be happy that competent football minds are making these decisions and not Snyder.
Saying that, this is my view of what could happen and my reaction if it does (yes I'm a shameless hypocrite)
If they keep Campbell and draft the Line then its clear Shanahan thinks with a competent OC in his son and quality playcalling and with protection Campbell can win in this league, and this is a very defensibly position.
If they draft BRadford then this is what I think there thinking is
In the modern NFL with the new pass interference rules and the 5 yard bump zone, it is truly a passing league and if you can hit on a true top class QB then he can make your franchise for a decade, is Bill Polian really such a great GM or does Peyton Manning just make a franchise in this pass first, no late hits, no low hits on the QB league, where you cant even pressure recievers.
IF this is Shanahans thinking and he sees real superstar potential in Bradford, then he almost has to trade JC, get picks from him to use on the line and hope his evaluation of Bradford is correct.
This leads to point number 3
Maybe he really likes Campbell but cant trade the number 4 pick, in this scenario maybe he takes Bradford with Pick 4 cos at least he knows he can trade Campbell for picks, so maybe picking Bradford is not a knock on Jason as much as it is a knock on a system where the Number 4 pick, due to to the Rookie Salary scale is untradeable
Anyway they are my thoughts, but whatever they do I will be giving them the benefit of the doubt all the way up until 6 minutes into the 1st quarter in RD 1 and we are losing :)

Sioux City school leaders are considering borrowing money from a fund that is meant to build new schools, to keep the existing ones operating.
Monday night, the Sioux City Community School Board approved more than $1 million worth of work, which includes repairing roofs and parking lots.
Maintaining the roofs will cost just over $200,000. And the cost for parking lots? Around $370,000.
East High's parking lot has not been repaired in 16 years.
"Each year we have to borrow a little addition money out of that sales tax fund, which is really for new schools, to repair and maintain our existing schools," said Dr. Paul Gausman, Sioux City School District Superintendent.
A public hearing concerning the repairs is slated for the next school board meeting on February 25th at 6 P.M.

Former state Rep. Jeff Lewis, a Cartersville resident who for 16 years held the 15th District seat in the state House, was elected Wednesday to represent the 11th Congressional District on the State Transportation Board. His term begins April 15.
"I am truly honored to have been chosen for this important position," Lewis said in a press release, pledging to keep an open line of communication with legislators. "I believe I have a good reputation for working well with others. I look forward to joining the board and using my General Assembly experience to be an active transportation advocate for all of the areas that encompass the 11th Congressional District as well as all Georgia short-term and long-term transportation needs."
David Doss of Rome ran against Lewis and others, seeking a third term on the board. Doss, who had served as board chairman, was first seated on the board in 2002.
State Rep. Paul Battles of Cartersville beat Lewis, a Rome native, in the 2008 Republican primary for the House seat representing Cartersville. Battles, who won that general election, also was elected to a second term in 2010.
Lewis served as chairman of the House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee. A self-employed small-business man, Lewis is a member of the Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce, the Cartersville Exchange Club, the Cartersville Lions Club and the Georgia Speakers Association.
The board governs the Georgia Department of Transportation. Its 13 members, representing each of the state's congressional districts, exercise general control and supervision of the department.
Each member serves a five-year term, and the terms are staggered. Board members are elected by the state representatives and senators whose legislative districts fall within all or part of the congressional district.
The Rome News-Tribune has more on the close election.

The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week
1. Another Kodak Moment
The employment picture at Kodak (EK) keeps getting cropped.
The Rochester, N.Y., photo company took an ax to its payroll yet again this week. Kodak, which has been printing pink slips by the thousands as it sheds declining businesses, said Thursday it will cut 3,000 more jobs.
The announcement came just a week after CEO Antonio Perez celebrated Kodak's first quarterly profit in two years."I'm proud of my team," Perez said last Wednesday in announcing fourth-quarter earnings, "and their accomplishments in 2006." Team members know that just making it through a year at Kodak is a big accomplishment. Counting Thursday's firings, Kodak says its four-year digital restructuring will end up costing between 28,000 and 30,000 jobs. All those departures have taken their toll. Charges tied to the layoffs will exceed $3.6 billion. Companywide employment will decline to levels not seen since the 1930s, the Associated Press reported. None of this is keeping Perez up at night, though. "The dream," he told investors at the company's annual analyst meeting Thursday, "was that we would wake up in 2008 with the digital company that we want to have." The one with all the empty cubicles, that is. Dumb-o-Meter score: 93. "If you look in the history books, you will see this is one of the hardest transformations to do," Perez opined at the meeting.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Visitors to Barcelona (especially those who stop by the tourist office) will no doubt learn about the Barcelona Card for museum and transportation discounts.
A couple years ago, we were not sure if the Barcelona Card really packed enough bang for the buck. In fact, our conclusion was simple: the Barcelona Card? Not for us. This year, we've changed out minds a bit, and offer you another look at this discount card.
What to consider before buying
The Barcelona Card is about €28 for a two-day pass, and this includes a paper guidebook that comes with the card. You really need to ask yourself: How much of an effort am I going to make to use this card?
If you make a point to go to the museums, restaurants, bars, and shows discounted through the card, then yes, you are going to save yourself some dinero. If you simply use it a few times and then lose it or forget about it, then you would be better off just sticking with the Articket (or nothing at all).
Museum discounts
Many of Barcelona's museums are free with the card—however, some of them that the card lists, are free anyway!
You'll find some good museums on the Barcelona Card's free-entry list (Museu de Ceramica, Museu Chocolate, Cosmo Caixa), but none of them are must-see museums. Rather, they are more specialty museums that will appeal to travelers with more time on their hands in Barcelona, or with a certain enthusiasm for say, Spanish and ceramics.
The big dogs of Barcelona museums (El Palau de la Musica and Casa Batllo) are only 20% off with the Barcelona Card, and many other must-see monuments, such as the Sagrada Familia, aren't covered by the card at all.
Transportation and other perks
One perk that the card does offer is free public transportation around the city and to and from the airport. This part of the card I appreciate.
For ten trips on the Metro in Barcelona, you will pay €8 (if you buy the T-10). A ride to the airport on the airport bus? That's another €5, one way. So you are looking at €15-20 in transport (depending how long you are in the city and how much you want to walk, of course), which you could deduct from the Barcelona Card price.
The card also offers some nice discounts on the zoo, IMAX theater, and aquarium, so if you have kids it might pay off. I am not impressed by the discounts the card offers at local restaurants or shops, but I do like the 10% off at bars Dry Martini and Gimlet.
Again, it comes down to whether or not you will remember to use the card after two dirty vodka martinis…
The bottom line
To conclude, as a local here in Barcelona, I am neither for nor against the Barcelona Card. It is not something I will insist that my friends buy when they come to the city for a visit, as I do with the Articket. However, if you are going to spend a week in the city, then this card could save you some cash. And, with the dollar taking a serious beating from the euro, that might be a really good thing.
What about the Cable Car at Barceloneta? Can I use the card there?
hi, the cable car is paid apart
Hi all,
I'll be traveling to Barcelona on a budget, in May, and I am trying to figure if using the Barcelona card is better than using the Touristic Bus. Both offer certain discounts but I've heard that Bus Touristic gives even greater discounts for certain attactions e.g the Aquarium. Of course there's always the free airport and city transport the Barcelona card offers, but is it better to tour around in a bus or use the metro to reach places?Any opinion counts.
Thanks a lot.

BANGOR, Me. – Maine is very special. Natural beauty, close-knit communities, the generosity of neighbors and the work ethic of our people are highlights on a long list of qualities that make our state truly remarkable. Not everyone is aware, however, that Maine is also special because it's home to many veterans. In fact, we're among the states with the largest percentage of veterans. Approximately 12 percent of Maine's adult population has served in the armed forces. Such a large number of heroes in our midst should always be near the top of any list of reasons why we're fortunate to live in Maine.
