Smoking marijuana can be to blame for serious gum disease that can sneak up on you at an early age. The study in the Journal of the American Medical Association followed about 900 young adults and those who smoked marijuana at least once a week were three times more likely to develop serious gum disease than those who never smoked pot- whether or not they had smoked cigarettes.
Murray Thompson, Ph.D., of the Sir John Walsh Research Institute in New Zealand says, "When we were looking at the new cases of gum disease between 26 and 32 year olds, fully one third of those new cases were due to cannabis smoking. That really surprised us."

I'm in the camp that most of our offensive struggles are due to the lackluster offensive line play and the buck for this mostly stops at our offensive line coach, Steve Marshall. I think this season we see a lot of changes in the coaching ranks and I think (note the emphasis) the first person to go must be Steve Marshall. But this begs the question of who is best fit to replace him? Tedford could hire a NFL re-tread (though that hasn't worked out well for him), an out of job college coach, bring back one of his excellent linemen from the earlier era or poach a coach from a currently high performing team. In my opinion the best bet would be to go for the latter strategy: steal a coach!
In this post I'll try to see which teams currently have high performing OL coaches and how much they are currently being paid. It's mostly filled with my ramblings because this was at one point just a DBD comment, so that said here we go...
My criteria in looking at the best performing OL coaches is to look at sacks allowed, rushing yards per game and average yards per carry (thanks to sec119 for the suggestion). I reserve the right to ignore spread offense teams that mostly run with their QB (that means Auburn, Nebraska - one Helu game doesn't count, Meechegan, and GT are out) plus any crappy teams (Marshall, SDSU...). I'll include Nevada because they kicked our asses and OSU because of the opinion that they train up nerds into homecoming queens. All stats are from cfbstats.com
Top teams in terms of sacks allowed:
#T-2 Oregon (3)
#T-2 Utah (3)
#T-2 Stanford (3)
#T-2 Michigan (3)
#T-6 Boise St (4)
#T-9 Nevada (5)
#T-12 Wisconsin (6)
#T-69 Oregon St (17)
Rushing yds per game:
#3 Oregon (311)
#5 Nevada (300.88)
#12 Stanfurd (223.75)
#13 Wisconsin (221.38)
#17 Boise St (214.29)
#27 Utah (191.50)
#88 Oregon St (131.57)
Rushing yds per carry (YPC):
#2 Oregon (6.51)
#5 Nevada (6.32)
#9 Florida St (5.64)
#11 Boise (5.59)
#13 Furd (5.42)
#18 Bama (5.32)
#19 Utah (5.28)
#21 Wisc (5.21)
#83 Oregon St (3.82)
For comparison, Cal:
18 sacks allowed (#81)
158.75 yds/gm (#50)
4.35 yds/carry (#55)
What this doesn't show is the amount of times the QB is pressured but the fact that almost all the teams listed above are ranked highly while Cal is an unimpressive .500 with the starting QB out for the season, shows that they have good OLs.
Now let's see how much some of these coaches are getting paid. The data is from 2009 because that's the latest I could find. It includes the base pay plus extra income but does not include bonus.
Steve Greatwood (Ore) – $200,000
Tim Drevno (Furd) ???
Blake Miller (Utah) $125,000
Chris Strausser (Boise) $204,725
Eddie Williamson (TCU) ???
Bob Bostad (Wisc) $199,504
Cameron Norcross (Nev) $70,710
James Cregg (USC) ???
Mike Cavanaugh (OSU) $200,004.
Couldn't find salaries from private schools, but let's assume it's near $200k because that seems to be range.
For comparison this is what Cal pays our offensive coaches:
Steve Marshall $200,000
Ron Gould $160,320
Andy Ludwig $248,000
Jeff Tedford ($1,225,000 base + $1,528,500 other =) $2,807,500 (total). Also has a max bonus of $265,000
Surprisingly we pay Steve Marshall about how much the other schools pay their OL coaches. Which means we can potentially offer any new hires a competitive salary. Now if Tedford is willing to give up between $50k-$100 of his salary (and really when you have a $2.8mil salary I'd assume that's a drop in the bucket) then we can offer between $250k-$300k to the OL coach. And if Ludwig complains we either tell him STFU or offer half of what Tedford gives up (leaving $225k-$250k for the OL coach which is great). I think with this naive view we can honestly offer up one of these existing coaches and get them to coach at Cal.
I'm leaning towards Eddie Williamson from TCU. How about you?

Nate M. asked Mario: "How can you determine the quality of a knife before buying?"
Mario's advice: Look into how much high carbon steel the knife has; the more carbon, the longer it will hold it's blade. Mario also advises to look at what's called the "full tang" - this is the part of the knife from the tip of the blade to the heel of the handle. This will determine what will last a long time, and give one a lot of comfort when one uses it. Watch Mario describe in the video above.

Fiat Qubo
Aggregated reviews, user reviews, videos, photos and stats
- Unusual but fun looks
- Very practical
- Cheap to run
- Petrol engine is slow
- Interior isn't great
- Not a lot of standard kit
The Fiat Qubo is a small MPV that is very practical, with a strong emphasis on practicality. The reviews aren't overly positive, but they generally agree it's easy to drive, easy to keep clean, and cheap to buy.
Some don't like the looks whilst others think it looks quite funky. If you're a fan of its appearance, then you'll probably like the Qubo as it's a versatile family car.
You sit high and upright in the Qubo, which is probably what you'd expect given its commercial roots. The fact it's based on a van is not necessarily a bad thing though, with most testers remarking on the huge amount of room that it gives.
Owners will also appreciate the practical sliding rear-side doors, a feature makes a huge difference in everyday use – and removes stress by eliminating the possibility of your children opening the door into the side of another car!
The Qubo is nice to drive according to the reviewers, with one saying that it has a "supple ride with good roll stiffness" and another remarking that it was "nimble".
One thought that it "fidgets" on rough roads but all said that it drove like a car rather than a van, which is good news if you're thinking of swapping your hatchback for one!
There is a 1.3-litre diesel engine and a 1.4-litre petrol engine available, with most reviewers suggesting that the torquey and economical diesel engine suits the Qubo best.
Value for money
The Qubo is huge value for money. The initial purchase price is low, it has decent levels of equipment and its strong image should help resale values. It's cheap to run and tax too.
The best way to buy your new Fiat Qubo.
carwow makes getting the best deal on your new Fiat Qubo simple and transparent.
Compare multiple offers from official Fiat dealers across the country in just a few clicks, without any hassle or pressure to buy.
You get all the details you need to make a decision alongside upfront no-need-to-haggle prices, dealer contact information and reviews from previous buyers so you know exactly who you're buying from.
You select the Fiat Qubo deal that best meets your needs. It's surprisingly easy! Get started now by heading to our Fiat Qubo deals page.
Worth noting
The Qubo is all about practicality, and to prove this there is a tough rubber floor that you can sweep and mop up dirt from with ease.
The purchase price and running costs are low, and the Qubo is hugely practical for a family of 4/5 people, while still being enjoyable to drive.
It's not the fastest thing in the world, but it's decently nimble and sprightly – and even "cool" and "funky" according to the experts!

Tag-a-Bag is selling lost and found tags for $10 each. You can attach them to any of your bags, and the nice thing about these is that you don't need to write any personal information on them. The key idea behind Tag-a-Bag is making it possible for the finder of your bag to get in touch with you without knowing any of your contact details.
When someone find your lost, tagged bag, they can either scan the QR code or tap the NFC marker on the tag. That will bring up Tag-a-Bag's website, which will allow the finder to send you a message about where your bag is. You can also report your bag as lost using the Tag-a-Bag app, and leave a customized message that will be seen by whoever finds your bag.

Recently, gay, lesbian, and bisexual students at Brigham Young University made a compelling and courageous "It Gets Better" video, encouraging their Mormon classmates to show affirmation, not condemnation, of homosexuality. That same video producer, Kendall Wilcox, has now released a new clip featuring Mormons reconciling their faith with the love that they have for their gay children and other family members. Two parents also talk about the impact of their children's suicide attempts. Watch the moving video, which premiered this weekend at the Circling the Wagons conference for LGBT Mormons:

On the Exhaustiveness of Truncation and Dropping Strategies in Many-to-Many Matching Markets
AbstractWe consider two-sided many-to-many matching markets in which each worker may work for multiple firms and each firm may hire multiple workers. We study individual and group manipulations in centralized markets that employ (pairwise) stable mechanisms and that require participants to submit rank order lists of agents on the other side of the market. We are interested in simple preference manipulations that have been reported and studied in empirical and theoretical work: truncation strategies, which are the lists obtained by removing a tail of least preferred partners from a preference list, and the more general dropping strategies, which are the lists obtained by only removing partners from a preference list (i.e., no reshuffling). We study when truncation/dropping strategies are exhaustive for a group of agents on the same side of the market, i.e., when each match resulting from preference manipulations can be replicated or improved upon by some truncation/dropping strategies. We prove that for each stable mechanism, dropping strategies are exhaustive for each group of agents on the same side of the market (Theorem 1), i.e., independently of the quotas. Then, we show that for each stable mechanism, truncation strategies are exhaustive for each agent with quota 1 (Theorem 2). Finally, we show that this result cannot be extended neither to individual manipulations when the agent's quota is larger than 1 (even when all other agents' quotas equal 1 - Example 1), nor to group manipulations (even when all quotas equal 1 - Example 2).

I wrote this small article about a player who I admire greatly...I hope you guys enjoy. Let me know what you think of Twitter @SethTheShocker
Is Jonathon Blum the epitome of Nashville Predators' hockey?
It sounds kind of funny when you say it out loud. Then you look at what all the young California kid has been through in such a short amount of time, and you realize his attitude, his game, the way he is...that's what the Nashville Predators are all about.
Let's take a trip back in time, shall we? Let's say the location in Columbus, Ohio. And let's just say the date is June 22nd. The year? 2007. We're at Nationwide Arena, home of the Columbus Blue Jackets. David Poile is nervous awaiting his pick, knowing exactly who he wants to pick up. The player just happens to be Max Pacioretty, the young power forward who played at Michigan. Everybody and their mother was mocking Pacioretty to Nashville, predicting that he was in fact the "prototypical Nashville forward".
"With the 22nd pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, the Montreal Canadians are happy to select...Max Pacioretty, University of Michigan". That had to sting...we all know David Poile wanted that big time forward, at that time the Preds were loaded on defense. Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, Kevin Klein, and Dan Hamhuis. All of which were playing solid hockey at that time. They weren't looking for a defenseman and if they say they were they're lying. Especially looking at what forwards were given up at that time, gone were the days of Peter Forsberg, as well as Scott Hartnell. Paul Kariya had just ran off to St. Louis, leaving Steve Sullivan, Jason Arnott, and J.P Dumont...many of which had to be replaced sooner or later. Nashville had to reach for a forward right?
David Poile does what he does best. He remained calm, and took the best Offensive Defenseman left on the board.
"With the 23rd pick in the 2007 NHL Draft, the Nashville Predators select Jonathon Blum from the WHL's Vancouver Giants."
That wasn't what was suppose to happen, and everybody felt it. Everybody except Jonathon Blum. He was just happy to be drafted, and I think that he felt at home from day one. And at home he was...he went back to Vancouver to finish out his junior career. While there he racked up 129 points, while leading Vancouver on multiple playoff runs. He also won defenseman of the year over one of his teammates in Ryan Ellis. By this point, Nashville fans were beside themselves realizied they had such a stud prospect to add to their defensive core. Shortly after finishing his junior career, the young Blum was sent down to Milwaukee, where he was expected to gain some experience and seasoning. Upon which he did just that, then some...
He had his first full season in the AHL, going through what some call the "Predator way". Suter did it, Weber did it, Klein did it...now it was Blum's turn. Jonathon recorded 41 points in his rookie year in the AHL, and looked damn good doing it. He had grown bigger, faster, stronger and had a cannon shot to boot. After a successful 2009-2010 season...it happened. Dan Hamhuis had left and signed with the Vancouver Canucks, and the future looked very bright for the young Blum.
While he improved, he didn't improve well enough to overthrow Shane O'Brien on the third line. So he got to take a trip back down to Milwaukee for more seasoning. Where he absolutely shined brighter than ever. He put up 34 points in only 54 games...we say only 54 because the next moment he had might have been one of his best. In the Spring of 2011 Jonathon Blum got to put on the Predators jersey for the first time in the regular season. It was time. Blum played outstanding while with Nashville, posting 8 points in only 28 games. He even had a + 8 standing, and it looked like Nashville Defense would be even deadlier with Ryan Ellis soon being ready to play. Blum looked like a fixture in the Nashville blue line for years to come.
Enter 2011-2012. Blum made the roster out of camp, and was poised to set up and start working on a sophmore campaign we would all remember. Except...it didn't turn out that way. He actually digressed some in 2011-2012, as he only recorded 7 points in 33 games. To make it worse, he had a -14 rating and looked lost at times out there. Trotz and Poile made a decision to send Blum back to Milwaukee so he could get his game back. Which he did, slightly...he managed to get 26 points for the Admirals, while having one hell of a fight against Rockford in a bench clearing brawl. However, Blum's plus/minus was still down in the AHL. He could have whined, he could have complained, but he didn't. He got in the gym and got bigger, faster, and stronger. Approaching 24 years of age, his time was coming. And come it did, tonight in the shape of a game against the San Jose Sharks. He recorded three shots, an even plus/minus, and had a couple of hits. On top of that he looked good out there, no more confusion, no more broken plays, just a lot of talent coming together.
Many Nashville Predators have to come through the system, the road to Nashville runs through Milwaukee as several people like to say. But not everyone stays that course, not everybody wants to work their way through Milwaukee. You've got those that complain about being in the minors, looking at you Dan Ellis. Then you have those who take the easy way out and leave the country, like Chet Pickard and the one Alexander Radulov. But Jonathon Blum never complained, he kept his head down and kept working until he got better. No matter how many call ups he had, no matter how many times he missed the roster out of camp, he was always happy and humble to be a Nashville Predator. That's the kind of guy I want in our locker room. We all remember when Martin Erat signed a 7 year deal to stay, because he wanted to be here. The same deal with Legwand, he came back because he wanted to be here. Pekka? Same road. And our Captain, he's down for the long haul no doubt.
I can't speak about what will happen to Blum in the future. He might go back to Milwaukee, but I think he's earned his spot and should stay put. He's been the subject of trade talks, but I don't want him to go. This whole time, through everything he's lead by example. He's kept his head down and gave a softened smile the whole time he's been with us. I hope Jonathon Blum is an Alternate Captain someday, and I hope he's a lifelong Predator. He's more than just a defenseman, he's an example to all those in Milwaukee who wonder what the "Predator way" really is.
Thanks for reading.

I know there is so much controversy between chiropractic and medical care, but if it were not for chiropractic I would still be in pain. A car accident left me with constant lower back pain. I tried everything from painkillers to preparing to have surgery. I heard stories from my friends who had surgery and to this day wish they never had it. So I decided to go to a chiropractor before the surgery and I am so thankful that I did. My back pains are gone and I am living my life to the fullest and pain free.

"Chiropractic care has always been a foundational healthcare practice for my child and me. However, it's not always so easy to find a fantastic one. Axis Family has always met our needs and beyond. Dr. Griffith is not pushy and trusts me with our scheduling and healthcare decisions. Her technique and bedside manner are five star and we are going to miss her personal care when we move."

Children and Chiropractic
Children also benefit from regular spinal exams!
It seems children never run out of energy, they go all day long running, jumping, and playing hard. Sometimes all this physical activity puts stress on the spinal nerves; this may lead to lowering a child's resistance and open the door for many illnesses.
The slightest misalignment can cause a child to suffer from adult type problems, such as headaches, back pain, poor concentration, irritability, etc. and for many, a simple, painless spinal exam will allow your Chiropractor to find, and treat if necessary any misalignments.
Chiropractic Care for children is much more than just spinal exams. Your Chiropractor can also examine and monitor the growth of your child's body, address important nutritional needs, offer correct exercise programs, and help to prepare your child for a healthy adulthood.

Editor's Note: The following post is a part of the 2013 Purple Row Writer Search -- our quest to find some great new contributors to Purple Row. This entry was written by PURPLE DUKE.
The buzz in local college basketball is the CU Buffs after their relatively easy will over Stanford, a team that bashed the Buffs twice last year.
Tad Boyle, who was interviewed Friday on "The Fan", a local sports talk show, gave some reasons why.
1. The inside presence of Josh Scott and Xavier Johnson who were able to defend and rebound which enabled them to get out to Andre Roberson and the guards quickly to pressure the Stanford defense. While Andre Roberson leads the nation in rebounds per game, the more he can operate in the perimeter, the better he can use his passing and speed in the transition offense.
2. The Buffs are doing a better job of sharing the ball on offense. Those of you who saw the road game at Washington will recall Askia Booker shooting 1-10 in the first half, and not much better in the second half, and playing the game like it was his chance to get his shot back. Also recall the slowness of both teams in the Washington game which is what Washington wanted.
Recall also the emergence of Xavier Johnson as a defensive force in the paint. Washington State, a sub-top 100 team, was able to slow the Buffs team who almost beat the Buffs.
Boyle also stressed the value of having good practices. Practicing well improves passing, a revived art of the Buffs in the Stanford game. The Buffs have incrementally and impressively improved on defense this season. Colorado is holding opponents to 39 % shooting over the year, and against Stanford at home, the visitors were held to 31% from the floor.
The Golden Bears are 11-7 for the season, 3-3 in the Pac 12, and they have lost four of the last five against Colorado. They have the top scoring duo in the Pac 12, 6-6 junior Allen Crabbe and backcourt mate Justin Cobbs. Cal began this road trip with a win against Utah, 62-57. Crabbe made four 3 pointers and finished with 23 points.
Keys to the game are: Can the Buffs get the ball out fast on the break?; If the ball continually gets "stuck" in CU's offense, we are back to the Washington loss; If Crabbe and Cobbs get hot at the same time, the Buffs are in trouble; If Colorado's passing game regresses, how badly will it hurt against Cal?
Cal is 2-4 over its last 6 games. Colorado is 4-1 against them lately. Look for a Colorado win, and hope for improvement in passing, defense or both.

Back at the Beer Garden
Last weekend, I went out with some old college friends, half of which coincidentally now live in Astoria. After a couple drinks at M.J. Armstrong's in Union Square, we decided to head to the neighborhood favorite: the Beer Garden.
This was my first Beer Garden trip of spring and it was lovely. The weather was perfect (warm, but not stuffy), the crowd was perfect (lively, but no line), and, of course, the company was perfect. While Ben ate kilbasa, I proceeded to devour everyone's fries at the table. We reminisced about college and stressed the importance of our old friend from DC moving to Astoria.
The night ended merrily, one of the best parts about it being the 5 minute walk home. Ah, the pleasures of a local bar!

Simon Gagne is healthy for the first time in months, fully recovered from a concussion that forced him out of the Los Angeles Kings lineup for most of the season. He's with the team and was available on Media Day Tuesday, but the questions have lingered about his return to the lineup.
Will the Kings let him go, or would they rather stick with the lineup that's helped them roll through the Western Conference playoffs so far? Well, frankly, head coach Darryl Sutter is sick of talking about it.
"I think we talked about it yesterday," Sutter said Wednesday morning before Game 1. "It's what we said two weeks ago. There's zero chance. Now there's a chance, right? I'm not answering that question again about Simon. Cleared for contact, cleared for practice, traveling with the team. So there won't be any further update on that one because, quite honestly, the answer is the same and I don't know how to answer it, right? You tell the truth or say nothing."
So ... yeah, we're not sure if Simon Gagne's going to play in this series, then.

I love this yarn. I am sensitive to many yarns and love shiny sparkly things. I made a beautiful cape which I can wear and my daughter also loves it, too. She is hard to please. It worked up quickly with a J hook, into a lacy cape. Am buying more and planning other projects. I started out a little put off by the way the end unraveled. And little pieces of fiber that stick out, but these are soft and don't poke my skin.

AN 11-POINT LEAD in the RaboDirect Pro12, vanished.
A 13-game winning streak, turned to one victory from the last four.
It's no wonder Ulster coach Mark Anscombe lets out a laugh and sits back in his chair when asked if the fortnight out of action came at the ideal moment for his team.
"Yeah, course it did. We weren't playing our best rugby. We had a number of injuries, a number of people away so it was challenging.
"But jeez, every team goes through that over the course of the season and that was our time for it."
The casualty list in the northern province isn't quite as extensive Ireland's. But having lost Stephen Ferris, Tommy Bowe, Johann Muller and latterly Nick Williams, Roger Wilson, Jared Payne and Chris Henry; any team would have reason to feel sorry for themselves.
Anscombe, however, is eager to shrug off the sympathetic questions.
"You can't bristle with it, because other coaches will just say, 'look'" The former Auckland Blues coach outstretches his palms as he continues. "That's part and parcel of the game of rugby, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't."
Though sitting calmly in Newforge with a relaxed three-day's worth of stubble, you get the sense that Anscombe is finally beginning to feel the weight of expectancy. Not to the point that he becomes jittery – that's not the Kiwi way – but his focus is intensifying ahead of consecutive away dates in Edinburgh, Dublin and the big clash with Saracens in London.
"We've got to make sure we get a couple of good victories together to get us confident and in the right mind-set to go into the Saracens game." He says, putting important, yet limited onus on this evening's visit to Murrayfield.
Week-to-week, there is no doubting Ulster's commitment to getting their league progress back on track. But it's also true that they are priming their star names for a seismic battle in Twickenham. Two competitions. And this season, in both, they have veered from the pulsating to the poor – sometimes within individual games.
Even at their peak, Anscombe's side have appeared to be playing rope-a-dope; seemingly labouring through a portion of the game before suddenly springing back. When they click, they can shred a defence for 10-15 minutes before settling back to sustainable heart-rate.
Troughs and tempo
"We certainly don't plan for troughs during the game – the opposition has a bit to do with that and we've had some good teams to play against." Anscombe says.
"You watch the internationals and the best teams in the world; they'll have a trough of in a game or a period where they'll run in two or three tries, but it doesn't go on and on.
"We do have things, like all other teams, we need to be better at: we've got to be more patient at times, look after possession a bit better. And there are things in our game where we look at ourselves; to be in a position to dominate, to determine the tempo of a game.
"At the end of the day, you prepare them to get a result. Sometimes we can be a bit too critical of how we achieve that result. You know, I still enjoy a win. It might not be vintage right through."
The longing to win only grows stronger with each passing week. Chiselling out four points by whatever means possible quickly became a habit over the first half of Anscombe's maiden season. Now though, his job is not to keep the ship steady, nor is it to turn it around, but to fire up the engines again.
"We learn from [the loss of form] and we'll hopefully become stronger for it. The break came at a good time for us and it feels as if everyone has come back refreshed to us and looking forward to finishing off the season."
Few would refuse a swap with Ulster's present predicament.

As he and his staff struggle to find cost cutting measures Memphis Fire Services Director Alvin Benson could be pondering a plan to temporarily shut down fire stations instead of paying overtime.
Brownouts could close fire stations for no more than 24 hours while manpower is deployed to busier locations.
While it's only an idea here, brownouts have become a practice some urban fire departments are already using.
In June, the Miami-Dade Fire Department has for the last month conducted rolling brownouts, shutting down various fire stations for 24 hours, taking trucks off the street, and redeploying personnel designed to cut costs.
Will the controversial procedure be given a shot to work in the Bluff City?
Once upon a time when the world was younger, the sacred cows of public safety -- our police and fire departments -- annually tromped like insatiable brontosauruses all over the financial landscape of the Memphis city budget.
But, now forced to deal with an edict from city council to look for cost-saving alternatives, the department heads' assignments are to budgetarily slim down more to raptor size for fiscal year 2014 in doing as much with less.
For the fire division, that reportedly could include exploring the possibility of shuttering selected fire station locations for 24 hours at a time, if they are low on personnel, and temporarily shifting those working there to busier spots. The practice is called brownouts and it's been shown to save money in other cities.
"So you have to deploy your personnel and that's where the brownout thing comes in," Mayor A C Wharton said. "It may impact one piece of equipment, but, it does not result in any closing of the facilities."
"If there's a reduction in head count, if there's a reduction in firefighters," added Chief Benson. "There is a corresponding reduction in the number of trucks that are on the street and or fire stations that we can staff."
"It deals with a chronic absenteeism," Mayor Wharton added. "If the director is budgeting for roughly 28 absentees and when he's running at 35, that's a big chunk."
"If a person's off, a firefighter's off, we have to call in an off-duty firefighter to actually serve in that person's position while they're off," Chief Benson said. "So, we have a dollar amount that's budget for overtime. That dollar amount will in essence go down."
Remember those brontosaurus days? Just four years ago, before Chief Benson became chief, fire services overtime costs during one six-month period ran more than $6 million.
While Mayor Wharton says brownouts are just in the option category Chief Benson is considering, the mayor insists talks continue on the fate of Fire Station No. 6, which its controversial closure has been delayed. Last week council members were told to keep the North Memphis station open would cost $1.1 million.
"Don't have a solution yet, but by the end of the 30-day period we will be able to tell the council whether we were able to find a solution," Mr. Wharton said.
Yes, it's all about the gigantic cost of public safety, a financial burden for cities like Memphis which could be headed the way of the dinosaur.

Jury still out in arson trial
11:30am Thursday 13th December 2012 in Crime
A JURY will today continue to consider its verdict in the case of a couple alleged to have torched a Hampshire pub in an insurance scam.
Jurors were last night granted permission to retire overnight.
The prosecution claims landlord Dean Thomas started the blaze at The Tollhouse Inn in Southampton Road, Lymington, with the knowledge of his wife Melynda because their business was failing.
Southampton Crown Court heard the fire ripped through the pub and the damage cost more than £100,000 to repair.
Dean Thomas, 42, and Melynda Thomas, 36, deny arson when reckless as to whether life might be endangered.
Dean Thomas has also pleaded not guilty to an allegation of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Huge article not needed. We know eachother, we know what this game means for both teams. Luck is in the good guys favor this time around at the Frozen Inflatable, and I predict not only a Vikings win but the rushing record to be broken late in the 4th quarter as well.
33-23 Vikings. With rushing touchdowns by both Ponder and Rodgers somewhere in the mix, I would even fancy to see Ponder doing the discount double check at some point in the game.
The real thread is for next Monday when we start talking about if the Packers can beat the Vikings in the playoffs.(good guys up 1-0 in that regard)

Saturday's tragedy has been a great loss for the country and the city of Lubbock. Flags are flying at half-staff across Lubbock, including at Texas Tech University.
Tech students have been watching the days events unfold on television. Many of them compared the tragedy to the deadly explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986. "I was very young. I remember when the challenger explosion occurred but I still remember just the overall mood of the nation, next to the 911 this is the worst tragedy we've had in the past two years," said one student we spoke to.
Texas Tech honored the astronauts with a moment of silence at 1:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

Hi, I am sorry but it's not possible, this script "lightbox" it's not created by me, but I will try on a next update to include a download button for images.
What is the safest way to update to the latest version?

Hi, wizedesign
I have a problem to have in my homepage last events / photos or videos like in the theme. I need some help to resolve a problem with clubber theme.
In the Homepage Only BLOG appear, I use shortcode audio [event] or eventup] but no result.
Could you help me ?
Thanks for your answer.
Lot of Thanks for your mail. Shortcode's are ok. Could you explain me why when i click on a photo there are nothing in screen. No viewer ?
please disregard my last, i figured it out. now for another question how do i re order my events on my home page ascending order
If you are using shortcode, use [eventup], and if you are using it for pages, use "Event Style 2" and "Event Style 3".
Any plan to add re-occurring event button to allow repeat event functionality?
Please be more specific, maybe send me a couple of screenshots.
mail: email@example.com
I have just purchased your theme and I am working through setting up pages. I don't seem to have any shortcodes available in the editor.
Do I need to activate these somehow?
Cheers, Ian
You have to write them, you find all the shortcodes in the documentation.
any plans for an responsive design for the theme.
I am verry sorry to dissapoint you but I don't belive this theme will be for smartphones, it was designed wrong from the start for smartphones. Maybe in the future I will make it responsive. Anyway, I noticed that in the near future will appear the FULL HD smartphones, so there will be the same technology on smartphones like on the computers. These kind of themes will not be responsive for smartphones anymore because the cell phone technology has evolved a lot and the resolution will be the same on the smartphone and the computer also.
Hello, I've tried to find answers of several questions which I have in mind, but without success. So before I purchase this theme I want to ask you following questions:
Is it possible to add some dynamic filter in PHOTO? Similar to the commonly used in portfolio websites.
Is there a way that videos are published in posts, but not opened in separate modal window?
I cannot see categories in blog posts. Can they be added?
I want to add wooCommerce in the theme. Do you think that the plugin will work properly?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards, Daniel
1. Unfortunately I don't understand what you are talking about with "photo", you can create categories.
2. These videos can be posted in blog articles. ( I don't quite understand)
3. You can create categories for the blog section.
4. In the present moment I don't know, but if that plugin can be configured, it will work, definitely. I've had a few clients that told me it worked, but I don't know to give more details about it
How can i turn comments on and off?
There are plugins for such things, for comments deactivation you can delete this line
<?php comments_template('', true); ?>from single.php file
Hi, i have a problem creating a child theme, is it normal? everything goes blank when i activate the child theme, and i loose the control of my admin panel.
Very strange, please send me an email with wordpress access so I can see what's happening and please mention the problem.
mail: email@example.com
Forgive my English, I was wondering: what is the difference between a regular license and an extended license? The theme is distributed via zip file and installed properly?
Regular License – You can use the theme only for yourself.
Extended License – You can use the theme for more sites.
The theme is in .zip format and you just have to install it in wordpress.
Hi! Your theme is great, thanks! Everything's working good, except i cannot manage to make shortcode work… all the time i'm getting this error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strlen() in D:\Inetpub\webs\rookiefrogcom\wp-content\themes\clubber\functions.php on line 68" I tried with and without categories, can you helpme to solve? Thanks a lot!
Please address to the host support to install for you mb_strlen()
how do I have the Latest Blog, Latest Music, Latest Events and such on my home page of this theme?
Please write on Home page shortcodes [blog], [eventup], ...you find more in the documentation, I created a video for you.
Thank you that helped alot! One last thing I noticed when I used different browser other then firefox the logo was no longer flush with the menu. Wondering what would fix that. the logo is the proper size.
Firefox Logo is Flush – http://harddiskomusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_9901-950x712.jpg
Safari & Chrome isn't Flush -http://harddiskomusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_3349-950x712.jpg
How can I edit the text "read more" in the homepage (link blog)?
Please go in this file: includes/shortcodes/shortocde-posts.php, find "read more" and modify from there.
I edited this file: includes / shortcodes / shortocde-posts.php, i tried "read more" and i modified, the result is great but i get a series of errors during logout and login to the administration panel wordpress.
Hey! Thank you for the great Theme.
I'm trying to increase the size of the [toggle title] but i can't find it in the any of the .css files. Can u tell me where i can find it?
Thanks for your help

Now that most of the roster wheeling and dealing is done (assuming Pietrus is back), the final depth chart as others have posted should look like:
or some combination of that.
My question is, who do we see on the bench on gameday?
A team can carry 13 active players on the bench? Right? Or is it 12 active and 3 inactive?
That leaves 2 to 3 players that won't be on the bench. I may be premature in my speculation as it may become obvious in training camp who gets in Nellie's doghouse, but I don't see our first rounders going straight to the D-League. That leaves three that have a shot of going down to Bakersfield imo: Lasme, Perovic, POB.
POB could come out and wow us in camp, but I really don't see it. Lasme is probably a victim of being on a fairly deep team and will spend a year in the D-League. With the money we paid Perovic, I don't see him going to the D-League, but you never know with Nellie.
The wildcard would be if the Warriors swing another trade or decide to cut someone (my only guess is possibly Croshere?).
This means that there most likely won't be camp surprises like Barnes or (almost) Wagner.
What do you all think? Is this a pointless post? Is it good for team Chemistry that we will have a solid core going into camp?

December 11, 2007
Rochelle -- Wilcox County will get to host their first ever state championship game.
The Georgia High School Association has cleared another 1000 tickets to sell for fans wanting to attend Friday's game against Emanuel County Institute.
The GHSA had wanted to cut the ticket number at 4000.
Wilcox County coach Mark Ledford says alot of family members of his players had yet to buy their tickets.
Ledford says those family members will get top priority with the extra tickets and then rest will go on sale to the general public.
"We still have family of kids that did not get their tickets on Monday," says Ledford. "We're going to do everything we can to make sure we get more tickets, and it we have to move it, then we'll just have to move it."
The Class A championship game will start at 8:00 p.m. Friday night at Donnie Clack Stadium in Rochelle.

Gaucho – Swallow Street Piccadilly
I'm sure that if the popular Gaucho chain were allowed, it would place a large sign, probably in bull's blood, reading 'No Vegetarians', outside all of its London restaurants. Not a place for the squeamish, Gaucho is a celebration of all those things that vegetarians cannot enjoy. Chopping boards of raw meat, cowhide chairs and a carnivorous menu with a strong Argentinian influence are all about as off-putting to our veggie counterparts as a branding iron is to a heard of cattle. The South American inspiration is seen in the menu but abruptly stops there, before the London interior designers and foreign waiters take over, creating a unique and funky environment for the capital's yuppies to enjoy. This makes for fashionable meal, ideal before a night out in Mayfair, but sadly scores zero marks for authenticity. Never mind, who cares about an Argentinian experience when Dom Perignon is on the drinks list, and 'they still do chips'.
Everything about Gaucho is glamorous, from the red carpet entry through heavy, black velvet curtains, to the cloakroom housing enough fur for me to wonder whether venturing between these designer jackets would lead me to Narnia. Any hopes of making the transition to another land, perhaps the Argentinian Pampas, were dashed as we were led upstairs to the impressive dining room. Typically London, the exceptionally dark restaurant was dimly lit by a few huge chandeliers and the DJs laptop which played background music, the genre of which was certainly not Tango.
Sat at our table, we were greeted by a knowledgeable waiter carrying a board vividly displaying the various cuts of meat available. To some this may have been slightly sickening, yet to myself the meat looked perfect and his lecture on each cut couldn't end quick enough. Being a man's man, I ordered the largest rump steak at 400g for a reasonable £21.50. It arrived in all its glory, alone on a large white plate except for its own juices; perfectly medium rare as requested. It didn't necessarily need the tart béarnaise sauce, such was its flavour, but my greed got the better of me. The chips were also excellent, not greasy but golden with a crisp outside and fluffy center, the perfect combination that so many restaurants promise but fail to deliver. When asking for ketchup the waiter looks blankly, and I wonder if this is a strange request? I begin to doubt the acceptability of my typically student-like demand, but after three attempts the language barrier had been broken and the European apologised and promptly obliged. Accompanied with a 'truly Argentinian red wine' of which I was assured was 'excellent' the carnivore inside me was totally satisfied. With sides at £3 and reasonably priced wines, the meal was not the ludicrous price that some restaurants worse than Gaucho steal from the deep pockets of its diners.
From every meat-lover's dream menu, Gaucho sears up a steak that anyone who thinks-they-know meat should judge against their finest. Likening this restaurant's food to a rugby team with the finesse of synchronised swimmers would be accurate. As I leave through the spacious entrance hall and out through the curtains I imagine being snapped by paparazzi before remembering that once outside I am no longer subject to celebrity-like treatment I had received within. Walking as far as my girlfriend's heels would let her, we succumb to the black cab and head home after an excellent dinner.

Select Route:
Crux is around the 3rd to 5th bolt, this route can be done in rock shoes or with tools and crampons. Since it's located near The Terminator, most climbers will frequent the area during ice season. This route is better suited to someone who climbs ice over a sport climber, although the rock is good, there is no anchor. Some routes do not have anchors, even routes in Spearfish Canyon. Belay from tree, and walk off to the west.
This route is located west of the terminator cave; exit cave and walk west. Look for bolts on good steep rock near arete. This is a good warm up route, should be in the sun unless overcast or night. NO anchor, walk off to west.
5 or 6 bolts, no anchor; walk off to west.

PJ backs Caricom
FORMER Prime Minister P J Patterson says Jamaica's trade deficit with non-Caribbean Community (Caricom) countries deserves as much attention as that being given to the imbalance with the regional bloc.
"Recently, there have been expressions of righteous indignation on the large trade deficit with Caricom, particularly Trinidad and Tobago. There is good reason to be concerned about this imbalance, but the size of our adverse trade with non-Caricom countries deserves no less attention," Patterson said Monday night.
He was speaking at the launch of Caribbean Challenges, a collection of speeches and papers by former Commonwealth Secretary General
Sir Shridath Ramphal, at the Mona Visitors' Lodge, University of the West Indies (UWI).
In an obvious reference to recent criticisms from within Jamaica about the imbalance in trade between Jamaica and its Caricom partners, Patterson, guest speaker at the launch, noted that, within the last two months, "the siren sounds of separatism have become shrill and increasingly perturbing".
"To ignore them altogether is an unwarranted risk the region can ill afford," he cautioned.
He pointed out that Jamaica's entry into Caricom was spearheaded by the Jamaica Manufacturers' Association (JMA), and not by "the post-Independence Cabinet" which, he said, was "hugely sceptical of any semblance of regional cooperation".
"To find meaningful solutions, we must not confine our search to a few limited areas, and certainly not just to trade in goods," he stated.
He said that the JMA, and its individual members, attended meetings at the highest ministerial levels at Caricom, including technical working groups and small policy cabals, and were involved with issues such as the Common External Tariff (CET) and the harmonisation of fiscal incentives or industrial allocation.
He stated that Jamaica's imports from Caricom, primarily Trinidad and Tobago, averaged 14 per cent of its total imports between 2000 and 2006. But, while the trade deficit increased over the period, the weight of the adverse balance of payments and balance of trade impact was seven times greater from the extra-regional trade.
"It is absolutely necessary for Jamaica to reduce its goods trade deficit with Caricom, but it is even more vital to decrease it with the rest of the world," he insisted.
Jamaica's trade deficit with its trading partners in 2011 was approximately US$5 billion, an increase of close to $1 billion compared to 2010. This was due to an increase of US$1.28 billion in imports during the year, compared to an increase of US$288 million in exports. The trade deficit with Caricom was US$957 million, an increase of US$154 million.
There have been howls recently by the local private sector about what they have described as unfair trade practices by Trinidad and Tobago against Jamaica.
Former minister of industry and commerce and current opposition spokesman on transport, works and infrastructure development, Karl Samuda, has insisted that "there can be no relationship (with Caricom), at least not a healthy one, without reciprocity".
Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller told a post-Budget briefing at Jamaica House recently that her administration has no intention of severing ties with Caricom. However, Minister of Finance and Planning Dr Peter Phillips told the same briefing that Simpson Miller has directed that a comprehensive review be done on Jamaica's trading relationship with Caricom.
He said the Government is mindful of the "considerable" benefits which have accrued to Jamaica from its involvement with Caricom and still believes in the concept of regionalism, but not at the expense of Jamaica's interests.

Mote coordinator elected president of science education group
Date: December 15, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Brad Tanner, school programs coordinator at Mote Marine Laboratory, was recently elected president of the Florida Association of Science Teachers and School Programs.
FAST is the state's largest non-profit organization dedicated to improving science education in preschool through college.
Tanner has worked for five years at Mote, where he teaches, designs and evaluates education programs for students and helps teachers develop science-based lessons. He served previously on FAST's board of directors as an informal science representative.
"As president, I hope to strengthen the bonds between Florida's schools and informal science education programs," Tanner said in a prepared statement. "Here at Mote, we work with teachers to bring marine science to life for students in our community and beyond. I hope to use my experience here to help strengthen science education statewide."

John Gruber in an interesting little argument about his program Markdown, makes a compelling case for how we usually end up changing our mind on things.
Here's a question: When was the last time you listened to an argument, and on the basis of that argument, changed your mind? Not just about something you hadn't really given much thought to, but something which, prior to considering the argument in question, you felt quite certain regarding your original stance.
In other words, when was the last time you realized you were completely wrong on a matter of opinion?
If your answer is "never", or even "a long time ago", is it because you're always right?
The author then goes on to explain a recent case where he changed his mind. He knew the facts and so knew he was right. He then read someone else's opinion on the matter, which introduced another fact into the equation. This fact did not change the others, it was just one more factor.
I read this, I engaged in his thought experiment, and I realized that I was completely wrong, and he was right.
Solely on the basis of his argument in "Thought Experiment", Pilgrim persuaded me that I was wrong. But what's interesting is that in doing so, he did not refute a single one of the three points that led me to side with the "be strict" camp in the first place.
When I end up changing my mind on a matter of opinion, it usually is not because I had the facts wrong; it's because I was looking at the wrong facts.
I wonder how many times we do that. Maybe always? We know we are right because we know the facts. But isn't it strange that others disagree with us, others who know the same facts, who are just as intelligent as we are (and maybe even more so)? As I read this I realized how often our point of view shapes our thoughts, our beliefs. And in the same way, it shapes everyone else's opinions.
When we 'argue' with others how often do we go about it all wrong – trying to prove they are wrong, instead of trying to give them more information in order that they can begin to see it our way? How often is the argument just plain silly because the differences in our points of view will never allow us to see things from the same point of view. We are arguing over something we both can see but we are looking at it from 2 completely different perspectives and until one of us moves we will never be 'seeing' the same thing even though we are 'looking at' the same thing.

Professor of Chemistry
Office Phone: 217 581 6369
I am an analytical chemist teaching primarily general chemistry, quantitative analysis, and instrumental analysis. Current students should go to their course web site on WebCT, or whatever the current system is called, to get course materials.
My research area is mostly metal oxide surface chemistry including fundamentals and applications of these materials for adsorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions, and photocatalytic degradation reactions of organic contaminants in aqueous solutions. Publications can be found in the link to my CV above.
