Over at MockingTheDraft, I decided to create a 7 round mock draft with each team being represented by a fan from their respective teams. The draft was a success and generated tons of interest throughout SBnation. Here were the results:
Miami Dolphins Mock (trades were allowed):
1- Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCU (With both Rolando McClain and Dez Bryant BOTH taken in the top 10, I traded back in the draft and picked up a 2nd and 6th rounder in order to nab Dan Williams without having to reach for him. What ended up happening is that the Chiefs traded up just ahead of me to steal him. No biggie. Jerry Hughes is the best 3-4 Rush linebacker in the draft. With Joey Pussy on his way out and Jason Taylor's future with the team still in limbo, the outside linebacker position becomes the teams biggest need. Hughes can play both the strong and weakside. Obviously the pick here would have been McClain, then I wouldn't have traded back, but he was gone so I decided to add some extra picks.)
2(1)- Jahvid Best, RB, Cal (Big time playmaker. Was neck and neck for the top RB spot with C.J. Spiller until his nasty concussion. I think he'll be fine. With Ronnie set to become a free agent, restricted or unrestricted depending on whether there's a salary cap in place or not, and Ricky planning on retiring after next season, RB becomes a need for the immediate future.Think Reggie Bush, minus Kim Kardashian.)
2(2) From Eagles- Aaron Hernandez, TE, Florida (Will be an elite pass catching TE at the next level and Chad Henne's go-to-guy.)
3- Micah Johnson, ILB, Kentucky (Underrated. Good all around skills to play inside in the 3-4. Is at the very least an upgrade over Akin Ayodele.)
4- Dezmon Briscoe, WR, Kansas (Drops too many passes for my taste, but he was the best WR available and the only one left who has "go-to guy" potential. Reminds me of Plaxico Burress.)
6(1)- Jimmy Graham, TE, Miami (The next Antonio Gates? I think so.)
6(2)- Boo Robinson, NT, Wake Forest (Right now he's weighing 295 Ibs, but he has room to grow to about 320-330 Ibs. Dan Williams was a nobody until he jumped the scale from 300 to 330 Ibs and became a NT when Lane Kiffin took over at Tennesse. I expect the same to happen with Robinson.)
6(3) From Chiefs- Thaddeus Gibson, OLB, Ohio State (Steal. good pass rusher. Even better against the run.)
6(4) From Jaguars- Robert Johnson, S, Utah (Huge Steal! I can't believe he was still on the board! He's got the size, speed, and ball skills to be an above average starting FS.)
6(5) From Eagles- Mike Williams, WR, Syracuse (steal of the draft if he can get his act together.)
Dolphins UDFA signings (3 max per team)-
CB, Crezdon Butler, Clemson
DT, Demarcus Granger, Oklahoma
QB, John Skelton, Fordham

Cross-Talk Between ER Coregulators and Growth Factor Pathways in Breast Cancer Endocrine Resistance
Scientific Abstract:
Background: Endocrine therapy is the most effective treatment for estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. A major clinical problem, however, is intrinsic or acquired resistance to these therapies. Recent discoveries emphasize that levels of both ER coregulatory proteins and its multiple regulatory interactions with growth factor signaling pathways may be important in breast cancer endocrine resistance but the molecular mechanisms are still poorly comprehended. Objective: The objective of this project is to elucidate the key components of growth factor signaling and estrogen receptor coregulators involved in endocrine response and resistance in breast cancer. Specific Aims: (1) To decipher the expression patterns of various coactivators and corepressors, their activity and to determine their differential recruitment to the ER-ERE on key estrogen responsive genes, (2) to examine the relationship between ER coregulators and various growth factors and kinase networks, (3) to test the contribution of various key proteins and molecular profiling of breast cancer cells using nanodevices during endocrine response and resistance. Study design: The expression patterns and differential recruitment of various coregulators in tamoxifen sensitive and resistant breast cancer cells and tumors will be analyzed using immunoblotting and ChIP assay. The relationship between ER coregulatory proteins and signal transduction pathways will be examined by selectively inhibiting various pathways using specific inhibitors. Once the potential participating proteins (corepressors, coactivators, kinases) are deciphered using ChIP assay and various activity assays, their contribution to the development of endocrine resistance will be determined using small interference RNA. For cancer biomarker applications, molecular beacon probes and quantum dots will be conjugated with biomolecules such as oligonucleotides, peptides and antibodies targeted against the key proteins identified in this study. Potential Outcomes and Benefits of the Research: The studies proposed here are designed to elucidate the factors determining the intricate regulation of mixed agonist/antagonist activity of SERMs in resistant breast tumors. Our studies will also systematically examine the key proteins using two types of nanoparticle probes, molecular beacons and quantum dots. These new tools could be an important supplement to the currently available predictive markers in breast cancer. Also, therapies including specific inhibitors or down-regulators targeting coregulatory proteins are potential new treatment avenues.
Lay Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in American women. Mounting evidence from various studies has underlined the importance of estrogen receptor in mammary development as well as initiation and progression of breast cancer. Only 50% of all estrogen receptor positive tumors are responsive to antiestrogens such as tamoxifen; furthermore, initially responsive tumors eventually become resistant to endocrine treatment, leading to tumor progression and death. Thus, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms responsible for resistance and to explore new therapeutic strategies for the welfare of breast cancer patients. Recent studies have shown that ligand- bound ER depending upon the nature of the ligand, recruits and interacts with specific subset of coregulatory proteins. Cross-talk between ER coregulators and various growth factor signaling pathways is an important feature in endocrine response and resistance in breast cancer. Thus the objective of this project is to elucidate the key proteins and pathways involved in resistance. The first aim will characterize these coregulatory proteins and their interaction with estrogen receptor using tamoxifen sensitive and resistant breast cancer cell lines and tumors. In the second aim, we will examine the relationship between the ER coregulators and various growth factor signaling pathways using specific inhibitors. The third aim is to test the contribution of various key players during endocrine resistance by silencing specific genes. Also, nanotechnology will be used to assess the function of key proteins. Novel nanodevices such as molecular beacon probes and semiconductor quantum dots bound with select biomolecules will be used to profile tamoxifen resistant and sensitive breast cancer cells and tumors. The results of these experiments will lead to better understanding of the key regulatory proteins and their relationship with various signal transduction pathways involved in the endocrine resistance thus enhancing our knowledge about hormone resistant breast cancer. Also, molecular profiling of the tumors using nanodevices could be used as new tools to profile tumors, to develop signature profile for the poor/good prognosis of breast cancer tumors from the endocrine therapy perspective.

Tourism in state of uncertainty — Bartlett
OPPOSITION spokesman on tourism and travel service development, Edmund Bartlett, says that the taxes imposed on the tourism industry recently have placed Jamaica among the highest-taxed destinations in the region.
Speaking in the sectoral debate in the House of Representatives Tuesday, the former tourism minister said that while the Opposition recogniaes the need for the sector to contribute more, "it cannot be done to the detriment of the industry, which is the proverbial goose that lays the golden egg for the Jamaican economy".
According to him, with1 taxation being a critical growth determinant for tourism, the tax policy must be equitable, positive and simple.
"The recent budget presentation departed from these basic principles and threw the sector into a state of deep uncertainty and bewilderment. Critical to all of this is that the government itself retreated and reversed itself in so many areas that the stakeholders in the sector are still trying to determine what the new tax measures are. This has implications for planning, pricing and Return of Investment (ROI) factors that influence investor decisions," Bartlett stated.
"The new taxes have placed Jamaica among the highest taxed destinations in the region. We do not want to be priced out of the market. What we cannot afford is to have a tax policy that becomes so regressive that it chips away further at the sector's competitiveness," he added.
Bartlett noted that the industry already has Departure tax — US$20; TEF (Tourism Enhancement Fund) Tax — US$20; Airport taxes — US$15; Travel Ticket — US$20; and Hotel — US$4.
"A family of four coming to Jamaica for an average stay of seven nights will have to pay US$356 in taxes. If these visitors are coming from the UK with a UK Air Passenger Duty APD of 92 pounds (sterling), we are around US$480 in taxes. That can buy them a week in Cancun, Punta Cana or Cuba," he explained.
"If we factor the taxes on inputs such as alcohol, meats and electricity, we are eating away at the gross operating revenues of stakeholders. This comes against the background of falling Average Daily Rates (ADRs) resulting in discounting or adaptive pricing and reduced revenue per applicable room," he pointed out.
"All of this, Mr Speaker, make an investor quiver, as he will have to think twice before putting his hard earned money into Jamaica. Nothing destroys the competitiveness of a destination than regressive tax policies," Bartlett commented.
He said that the Government has to lay down an appropriate way to tax the sector, without destroying it.
"The problem is that we do not know how to tax the tourism sector. Tourism Satellite Accounts, a way of measuring and quantifying the impact of tourism on the economy, represent a good source for accessing the right data to guide us carefully. The Minister should drive this aggressively," he suggested.
"In the end the government must make up its mind as to whether tourism is a part of the export sector or not," he concluded.

Lands of the people of North plundered ruthlessly without any control: families of Forces settle down forcibly Tamil MPs protest
(Lanka-e-News, Aug. 03, 2010, 1.10PM) The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) alleges that the settling of families of the Forces in Mannar and Kilinochchi and the denial of ancestral lands of the displaced Tamil refugees in the North and East as a most cruel injustice perpetrated on the Tamils.
At a Press briefing on the 2nd in Colombo, Jaffna District M Ps Suresh Premachandran and M T Suvendiran pointed out this grave injustice. There is information that lakhs of families of the Forces are being settled in those areas. Consequently, the percentage of Tamils is being greatly reduced in those areas, they added.
These ancestral lands are not being restored to the Tamil people and the Govt. has appropriated those lands and is demarcating them as High security zones. When the President came to Kilinochchi to hold a meeting, he was questioned about the restoration of the ancestral lands to the Tamil people, he then assured that they will be given back to them for re settlement. Yet, the Army Commander when he met the Malwatte and Asgiriya Chapters Ven. Theros, said, for the security of the North and East, families of the Army will be settled there. Meanwhile the media Minister disclosed that the ancestral lands in the high security zones will not be given back to the owners. Therefore, President, Army Commander and the Minister are making open contradictory statements. In the circumstances, in the future, the Tamils are going to encounter tremendous hardships and living there for them will be a grave difficulty, the MPs lamented.
Suresh Premachandran addressed the media briefing as a spokesman for the TNA. When the refugees are told they can go back to their places for residence and when they have erected temporary shelters after getting back, 3 to 4 days later, they are evicted on the ground there are landmines in those places. If there are landmines in those areas, why are they made to go back for re settlement?, the MP asked.
A report compiled by the TNA MPs, Suresh Premachandran, M A Sumanthiran, S. Sivasanthi Anandan and Sridharan after they toured Shanthipuram District on 29th July 2010 was also distributed to the media. It is on the way to Shanthipuram, the welfare camps of Indhipuram and Thirumarukandhi are situated. When they were nearing the Shanthipuram Vidyalaya they met a group of Tamils carrying bags and baggage, the MPs stated. When they inquired from the group as to why they are traveling with this heavy load, those people had explained, because the Brigadier had told them they could go back to their ancestral lands, they went back. But, when they were there after erecting temporary shelters, a few days later, some soldiers had come in the morning of 29th and told them they cannot re settle as they have no permission. Hence, they had to carry this load of things and travel back. This episode had been included in the report. This was the third such instance of sending back of refugees who were re settled contained in the report.
The report contained tales of tragic scenes of weeping and wailing of the affected people when relating their woes.

The fact that Sartoria has tailor's dummies in the window says a lot about its attitude to food – more style than substance. I had an acceptable but not exceptional business lunch here – a starter of poached egg, truffle, polenta and cheese was spoilt by a slightly watery, bland egg. The main course of John Dory was more flavourful and the fish was perfectly cooked, soft and moist in the middle with a crisp skin and delicious vegetable accompaniments. The service was fautless but the staff seemed to somehow lack the passion that you find in some of the other D&D establishments.

Porn-site mastermind in court November 16
BY PAUL HENRY Crime/Court Desk coordinator email@example.com
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Accused porn-site mastermind Ronald Oates will next appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on November 16 when a trial date is likely to be set.
The date was set Tuesday after the prosecution told the court that it needed more time to secure an outstanding computer forensic report.
Oates' $500,000 bail was extended until November.
The accused man is to be tried on charges of unauthorised access and unlawfully making data available for the commission of an offence, unauthorised obstruction, obscene publication, extortion and conspiracy to extort.
Twenty-seven-year-old Oates allegedly posted nude photographs of women on the Internet and is accused of extorting more than $100,000 from victims to remove the offending pictures.
Oates, who is represented by attorney Zara Lewis, was arrested in August.

I am historically very anti-mock draft this early in the offseason as so much will change but that being said the combination of boredom and having some time to kill caused me to cave. I know people will tear this apart if its not perfect to the them, so go to town this was just for fun.
1st Round: Jadeveon Clowney (DE – South Carolina) – If Clowney is available, and I think he will be, I don't think this is even a debate for the Jaguars front office. Caldwell and Gus have made in clear in interviews that the Jaguars need to improve their pass rush and finding that elite rusher is rare, enter Clowney. The Jaguars get the rare DE talent they badly need.
2nd Round: Kyle Van Noy (OLB – BYU) – While most would expect a QB here, I think the Jaguars would pull the trigger on Van Noy who is a versatile LB that would offer both pass rushing and solid pass coverage ability. The Jaguars LB group has been solid in recent years but it still lacks a real pass rushing LB and depth. The Jaguars have also had a chance to work with Van Noy at the Senior Bowl which could improve the chances of this selection.
3rd Round: Zach Mettenberger (QB – LSU) – Mettenberger seems to have become the QB that most people have forgotten about in this year's draft. The senior out of LSU has the prototypical size (6'5") and has solid arm strength. He was in the midst of a strong season (and improved from previous years) before his ACL injury and many pegged him as a second round pick and best Senior QB. If available to the Jaguars in the 3rd round, I could see them taking him as he has great long term potential. Though not what most fans want to hear, in the short term the Jaguars would mostly likely groom Mettenberger and allow him to fully recover on the bench while Henne starts the season. I could also see David Fales as a possibility here.
4th Round: Anthony Steen (G - Alabama) – The Jaguars need to address their interior OL at some point in this draft and I think drafting Steen would be a solid move here in the 4th if he is available. Steen would immediately be able to push Rackley for the starting LG job and worst case scenario he would provide solid depth while he learns and grows.
4th Round: Jeremy Hill (RB – LSU) – Hill has the size that teams will be looking for (6'2", 235lbs) but due to the stacked RB draft class and continued trend of drafting RBs later he will likely be pushed down draft boards. The Jaguars will likely see MJD leave via FA which leaves then with Todman, Robinson and Forsett (though he will likely be released) as their remaining RBs. I think in the end the Jaguars take a rookie talent like Hill in the mid rounds and then deploy a RB by committee with Todman and Hill.
5th Round: Mike Davis (WR – Texas) – The Jaguars need to add some depth and young talent to its WR unit especially with all the uncertainty surrounding Justin Blackmon. The Jaguars luck out in that this year's WR class is very strong and some solid talent will be available in the mid rounds. Mike Davis out of Texas has worked with the Jaguars during the Senior Bowl and offers a lot of upside.
5th Round: James Stone (C – Tennessee) – The Jaguars have talked about moving one of the guards to center and they also have Brewster who will be returning from injury. In the end though I think the Jaguars take a stab on a center in the mid rounds. Stone is a middle tier center prospect who excels more as a pass blocker then run blocker. At the very least Stone would be solid interior line depth and have potential to be a future starting center.
5th Round: Beau Allen (DT – Wisconsin) – Allen was a solid run stuffer for the Badgers this past season and could fit as a space-eater in Gus Bradley's defense. The Jaguars could certainly use depth on the DL, especially at DT, with Roy Miller having a so-so year and having some nagging injuries.
6th Round: Crockett Gilmore (TE – Colorado State) – After Marcedes Lewis the Jaguars don't have much in the way of talent at the TE position. Gilmore was a late addition to the Senior Bowl but impressed during his week there. Known more for his blocking ability, Gilmore showed some solid pass catching ability throughout the week. With the Senior Bowl connection I could easily see the Jaguars drafting Gilmore for TE depth.
7th Round: Jeff Mathews (QB – Cornell) – The chances that the Jaguars double up on drafting QB's was already high and Khan's recent comments simply reinforce that. Matthews had a strong showing at the East-West Shrine Game and would easily warrant a late round flier. Matthews has arm talent and seems to be a solid at reading defenses but still has a lot of work to do to be NFL ready. If Mettenberger is still recovering from his ACL injury to start the season, Matthews could end up being the Jaguars back-up QB to start the season assuming the Jaguars move on from Gabbert. Worst case is he battles Matt Scott for the 3rd string job.

According to a few tweets from Ken Berger of CBS Sports, Amar'e Stoudemire has been cleared to practice, making him one step closer to returning from knee surgery. He will be flying down to Erie to practice with the Bayhawks, the New York Knicks D-League affiliate team.
Why? Head coach Mike Woodson doesn't think he'll have sufficient time to get it going in the next few practices and doesn't want to stunt STAT's arrival time. According to an earlier report from SLAM Online, Amar'e has set the Knicks Christmas game against the Los Angeles Lakers as a possible season debut. Carmelo Anthony on the other hand has missed the past few games with a sprained ankle. He doesn't have a strict timetable for his return but chances are he'll be ready to go by December 25th.
Steve Nash, Stoudemire's former pick-and-roll buddy, is also looking towards Christmas as a possible return date. According to tweets from Los Angeles Lakes reporter Mike Trudell, Nash has been feeling positive about his progress, although he is still sore. Both Nash and Pau Gasol practiced today. Gasol is a game-time decision for tomorrows match-up against the Charlotte Bobcats.

1920s fashion flair isn't for everyone. The shift dress can be quite unflattering to women who have full figures, and shapely styles will look better on such petite women. The cloche hat, which covered the short marcel hair styles that were popular during the 1920s, can be workable for most women, although very few women wear hats at all. As for the loose pajamas, their 1920s' stay-at-home style probably makes more sense than wearing them outside of the home.
Skip this trend if it doesn't speak to you, and if the 1920s-inspired clothing isn't flattering but you like the style, opt for some 1920s-inspired jewelry or a 1920s-inspired metal mesh evening bag.

The Herald Bulletin
FRANKFORT, Ind. —
As he led his team off the court after Saturday night's boys basketball regional final at Case Arena, Liberty Christian coach Jason Chappell looked up into a sea of hometown fans and began to clap.
The Lions faithful before him extended from the court well up into the highest rows of the second level and wrapped around to take up half of the other side of the stadium as well. When Chappell's hands came together, the fans rose in waves and matched his applause.
At that moment, it was hard to tell Liberty Christian (20-6) had just suffered a heartbreaking 77-68 loss against sixth-ranked Lafayette Central Catholic (18-8).
The fans were celebrating a second straight trip to the Class A elite eight. They were celebrating an outstanding effort that saw the Lions take an eight-point lead early in the fourth quarter. And they were celebrating just how far this program has come in the past two seasons.
"You just look at what God has blessed us with," Chappell said. "This was a great crowd for us. We used to play basketball games in our Washington (Street) gym, and we wouldn't fill it up. And to see that out there tonight, these guys have taken it up several notches from where it was."
As Chappell spoke, his red-and-yellow tie had been loosened and his shirttails were hanging by his sides. His face was heavy with the emotional toll of a battle hard fought, and there still was evidence of the tears he'd shared with his players in the locker room.
But there was far more hope in the air than sadness. The disappointment was palpable, to be sure, but as fans began to trickle in and embrace the players as they left the locker room, Chappell's face brightened.
Liberty Christian beat Lafayette Central Catholic on this same floor in last year's regional semifinals. The Knights sat with the weight of that loss through the long offseason and into the fall.
Their fourth-quarter comeback provided a kind of catharsis and gave them another piece of hardware to put in the trophy case.
It was hard not to think about the Lions — who will return four of Saturday's starters next fall — matching Lafayette Central Catholic's redemptive run next year. But it was equally hard not to focus on the opportunity that slipped away and thoughts of what might have been.
"We really wanted to make it to Bankers Life Fieldhouse," Chappell said. "We really felt that we could have won a state championship, and we're still a young team. We are still a young team."
The last line sounded something like a revelation, as though hearing himself say the words the first time had tapped into some well of inner strength. A light at the end of a dark night.
Liberty Christian will say goodbye to four seniors: Thatcher Rouse, whose clutch 3-pointer pushed the lead to eight points in the final period; Remington Emery, whose inspired play helped lead a second-quarter charge that kept the Lions in front at the half; Terrence Campbell, whose 23 points in the afternoon session allowed Liberty Christian to reach the final in the first place; and Austin Castor, whose leadership while injured through the end of the season was highlighted as a key by Chappell.
The players slowly trickled out of the locker room one by one and were greeted by an ever-growing group of fans.
The evening had begun with fans standing out in the cold parking lot more than an hour before tipoff and cheering the players as they entered the arena.
It ended with those same fans crammed into every corner of the lower concourse, cheering the team just as loudly and with as much pride as they had at any point in the night.
Chappell thought about the objects of that affection — especially the four seniors — and his face finally lit up with a smile.
"They left their mark on this program," he said. "They're legends in my book."

Enslaved, has been given a release date in Europe of October 8 (my birthday), and will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3. We should see the game in Australia pretty close to that.
The main characters' names are derivative of the classic tale, which was popularised in the Japanese serial, Monkey Magic, with "Monkey" and "Trip", a duo who form an uneasy alliance in a post-apocalyptic future where humans have been enslaved by an unknown entity, and the world lies in ruins. What sets this game apart though, is its intense colour pallet (there's plenty of blue, green and red as opposed to grey and straight-up desert), as well as the use of technology in re-treating the classic tale.
We saw the game at E3 and had a bit of a play with it, so stay tuned for a full preview soon.

It's not often one gets to drive a fire apparatus on a NASCAR-based test track, but some 300 invited guests got to do that when Rosenbauer unveiled its Commander cab and chassis at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Four prototypes were made available for testing by fire service professionals who were asked to critique the apparatus. Company officials promised to take back the constructive ideas and integrate them into the design.
The event marked a first for the company and the first new fire service vocation truck manufacturer to enter the market in a long time. There are many truck builders, but only a few that build on their own platforms from the ground up. Rosenbauer joined their ranks this year with the unveiling of this new product in February.
One of the first things noticeable about the apparatus is it is quiet from the outside and the inside. Rosenbauer made sure the noise level was kept down. Rosenbauer uses Cummins ISC, ISL and ISX 12 platforms with horsepower ratings from 260 to 500. The engines are mated to the appropriate Allison transmission, either the 3000EVS model or the 4000EVS unit, based on horsepower. The quiet continues inside as communications between all occupants in the apparatus, front and back, can be carried on at conversation levels without any need to shout, even coursing around the test track at 40 mph. In addition, the truck takes corners well and braking was more than adequate. (A prototype was driven for 100,000 miles on a test track for durability verification.)
Most-requested elements
Before building the new cab and chassis, Rosenbauer asked customers to describe the most important elements firefighters and mechanics need to do their jobs well. The company said it designed everything without the constraints of fitting it into what was already being made or the need to maintain a status quo.
Some of the innovations are simple, like angling the corners of the engine dog house to provide a little more hip room for the operator and the officer. Rosenbauer said that was done to accommodate extra items carried in bunker coat pockets, but it also provides comfort for larger firefighters.
The designers located controls within easy access on a wrap-around dash with intuitive locations for the most-needed knobs and buttons. With multiplexing standard for the Commander's electrical system, on-screen controls are available. Rosenbauer also worked out the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Vents are placed strategically throughout the cab to maximize climate control. No huge ductwork and AC components intrude into the cab area impeding forward vision and headroom.
Angling the rear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) seats inward slightly makes for more shoulder room and a little more comfort for those in the back. Seating can be configured for up to 10 occupants with 60- and 70-inch extended cabs available. Roofs can be flat or rise by 11 or 24 inches.
Rosenbauer makes its cabs from 3/16th-inch aluminum plate with a heavy-duty aluminum extrusion frame. It also has stamped aluminum corners and front fascia, an industry first. Front-end designs to accommodate round or square headlights are available at the customer's preference. Coming around the sides, the doors are wider than industry standards and steps are lower to make egress easy, even for firefighters with full turnout gear and airpacks. Because the doors are wide, they don't need to open to a full 90-degree angle, which prevents the doors from being over extended and damaging the edges or the cab body.
Built with safety in mind, Rosenbauer crash tested cabs for front-impact and side-impact airbag deployment. It can also withstand a 120,000-pound roof crush test.
"We wanted to make sure we tested everything before we went to market with it," said Harold Boer, president of Rosenbauer America, based in Lyons, SD.

I have an existing drop-in jetted tub in good working condition, but my wife wants to change the tile around it. It appears that this would require lifting the tub out (or at least up) and I'm wondering how this is done with no visible means for securing the tub in place. I have two small access panels (18" X 18"?) on the exterior wall for what I assume is to service the pump and drain.
Should I consider this project, or get rid of the wife.
If the tub is fiberglass, which most drop-ins that I have seen are, the body of the tub will have a little flex to it. Break out the tile, leaving a small section underneath the lip of the tub every 18" or so. Then use a prybar to "carefully" lift the lip up, and slide a shim between the section of tile and the tub. This should give you enough room to get the new tile underneath. Then, after the new tile has set, put shims between the new tile and the tub, remove the last few pieces of the old, and finish the job. IE, get rid of the wife, because it sounds like she is a HoneyDew fountain.
Yes, fiberglass, thanks for the info. Sounds like a good amount of finese would be the key to doing it w/o removing the whole kit and kabodle. I'm of the mind that if it works, leave it for the next owner to deal with.
So far, I've got her convinced that changing the floor tiles to a different/darker complimentary color on a 45* will be OK. The tile guys are coming today to do the floor so I'll know more when I get home. I'm just thinking about this now in case it doesn't work out.
Yes, definetly get rid of the wife...

Fred Jackson's season is likely done, as the Buffalo Bills running back will miss at least two to three weeks with an undisclosed injury in his right leg.
Jackson was hurt on a gang tackle in the fourth quarter of the team's 15-12 loss to St. Louis when two players collapsed on his leg. He needed to be helped off the field, and when asked about the injury after the game, Chan Gailey commented that it "did not look good." It's not official what he hurt, but with three weeks left in the year and the Bills toeing the edge of playoff elimination, it seems unlikely Jackson will return to the playing field this season.
The sixth-year running back out of Coe College is listed as C.J. Spiller's backup, but has been splitting carries with him. He's received slightly less touches -- Spiller has 144, Jackson has 115 -- and has been significantly less successful, as Spiller has 944 yards on 6.6 yards per carry while Jackson has 437 on 3.8. Tashard Choice, who has 40 carries on the year, is the third-stringer.
Jackson previously missed a pair of games on the season with a sprained right knee.

ASU analyst likes the Sun Devils tournament chances
Originally published: Jan 28, 2013 - 9:26 pm
The Arizona State Sun Devils basketball program is on the rise, and if they continue their inspired play it may result in a tournament berth.
Former ASU point guard and current Devils color analyst Kyle Dodd told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Monday he thinks the Sun Devils have a real shot at making it to the Big Dance this year.
"I was almost along with a lot of the fans, I was almost kind of taking the wait and see approach just because the preseason schedule was a little bit soft, but just the fact that I think this team learned how to win again," Dodd said. "They struggled so bad last year. I think just winning basketball games, there's a lot to be said for that. I think they've really developed a mentality and they believe they are a good basketball team."
So far this season, ASU has proved that on the court. They have amassed an impressive 16-4 record overall and are tied for third in the Pac-12 with a 5-2 mark.
The Sun Devils will have to continue to perform well the remainder of the season if they hope to be in the tournament discussion but Dodd believes it's an achievable goal for Herb Sendek's team.
"Now that we're in league play I really believe this is a team that's going to continue to win games," Dodd stated. "There's obviously a lot of basketball left and I think they probably got to do a little bit more work than another team might just because of the schedule and the RPI and that kind of stuff, but I think they are going to win a lot more games and if they get to that 22-23 win mark, I mean they're in."
The Devils have seen a resurgence this season behind forward Carrick Felix, three-time Pac-12 Player of the Week winner, and freshman phenom Jahii Carson.
Dodd said he thinks Carson has really thrived playing in ASU's new uptempo system and that he is wise beyond his years on the court.
"It's hard for me to really believe that he's a freshman because he just gets better and better every game. It seems the bigger the game, the more ready he is to play," Dodd said. "He's so quick and lightning fast but he also has the ability to play with a lot of pace and when he slows things down and then speeds things up, he's almost been impossible to guard.
"He's just been as impressive to me as any guard in the country."

I just read a NFL quarterback ranking from Jason Smith at NFL.com. First of all, I don't agree with his rankings. As I was discussing it with a freind, we found ourselves talking in tiers not rankings. It is very difficult to rank players so specifically when they play for different teams, in different divisions, against different foes, and with different talent around them. Even their defense can affect their success, just ask Dan Marino and Trent Dilfer.
When using a tier system, you can use stats and all the other aforementioned conditions, but you can even use the eye test. By this I mean , you don't have to be a NFL insider or a statistician to put QB's in tiers.
I like to use four tiers. Here is how I break them down.
Tier One are the GREAT players, the QB's who could step into any system and will succeed. Their success is not because of one dimension to their game. They are good in all aspects of the game. They have natural talent (strong arms, football intelligence, generally cool as a cucumber) and also have the drive to be the best. They are clutch guys. When the opponent has the lead and their is one last drive, you feel confident the Tier One QB will have a last minute drive to win the game. They put in the work to succeed and make the players around them better. Tier one guys can "carry their team" to great success. Example: Tom Brady
Tier Two are QB's who can also make a team better, but you may not expect them to carry the team. They can be successful QB's, but they don't achieve consistent "greatness". They may be missing one or more of the attributes of Tier One guys. They may be smart and work hard but are limited physically, or the opposite, they may be talented as hell but don't go above and beyond in film study or preparation. It just may be they don't have the "clutch" gene. When watching these QB's at the end of the game, you know they are capable of that winning drive but you aren't confident it will happen. Example: Tony Romo
Tier Three QB's are players who have less attributes than Tier One and Two. When building a franchise you are not looking for Tier Three QB's. These QB's can have long term careers in the NFL but their GM's are probably always looking for an upgrade. They can win games, win playoff games, even super bowls, but you will still call them game managers. Example: Mark Sanchez
Tier Four Qb's for what ever reason don't have success at the starting position. They flip flop from starter to back up. They are good enough in pre-season that, if they are backing up a tier three guy, the fans want him to get a chance and he may even win the spot temporarily. Example: Derek Anderson
Any QB not in the top four tier is a career back up and will probably not see a regular season game.
With this system in mind, put last years starters into tiers. You can also pick out guys who may not have started last year but you may feel is in the top four tiers. A good example of that would be Shawn Hill.
For a list of QB's and easy reference, right click this link and open in new tab or page http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=false&conference=null&statisticCategory=PASSING&season=2011&seasonType=REG&experience=null&tabSeq=0&qualified=true&Submit=Gofor
I am curious to see your tier results. I will leave mine in the comment section.

Pebble Exec: Batteries Are Top Challenge for Wearables Right Now
Many wearables challenges come from one major culprit: batteries.
Many wearables challenges come from one major culprit: batteries.
Apple's earnings report offers some clues about its product plans.
Is this the iWatch? An Apple patent for "iTime" shows a wristband wearable that supports both arm and wrist gestures and features sensor-filled straps.
While it was originally rumored that the iWatch could get an early fall launch date, a new report indicates it won't enter the market until November.
What does Apple know about selling smartwatches that Google and Samsung don't? Now that it's hired a former TAG Heuer executive, a lot.
Apple reportedly hired a top executive away from Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer, a move certain to fuel more iWatch rumors.
Following reports of a recent sighting of NBA star Kobe Bryant on Apple's Cupertino campus, a new report claims that he's testing the iWatch.
According to a new report, the iWatch could hit the market as soon as October.
Glance is an accessory that can turn almost any regular watch or wrist band into a kind of smart device.
Apple's iWatch will debut in October with a curved touchscreen and will use Healthkit to keep tabs on health stats, according to a new report.
The iWatch was nowhere to be seen in Apple's most recent commercial.
If you use an iPhone, iPad or Mac, Monday is the day everything changes. Apple will shake up its software platforms with iOS 8 and OS X 10.10.
The latest iWatch rumor says that Apple's future smartwatch could have a round face.
Smart homes and the Internet of Things are relatively new concepts, but Apple might be just the company to find mainstream success in them.
Can fitness tracking hardware survive the rise of wearables and smart devices?
We've been trolled! Rumors that Apple is preparing to release biometric EarPod sensors were just a hoax.
Is LuxVue providing the display technology for Apple's long-rumored iWatch? Many signs point to yes.
According to a post on the app Secret, the next Apple EarPods will measure heart rate and talk to the mythical iWatch.
A new report claims that Apple's long-rumored iWatch device has already gone into production, and will be released later this year.
Layoffs at Nike's FuelBand unit took many by surprise when the news broke Friday, a move that has further fueled speculation that Apple may be working with the sports-apparel maker to develop an iWatch. A CNET report described the first rumblings of trouble at Nike's wearable-tech unit on April 9. Soon after, an anonymous post appeared on Secret, which said much of the FuelBand staff had been dumped; that was followed by another story on Friday that claimed the same.
The much-anticipated Apple iWatch may come with a flexible display manufactured by LG, a new report suggests.
Pebble is definitely proving the smartwatch market is growing. The company sold 400,000 devices last year, snagging somewhere around $60 million in revenue. And in 2014, the company is well on track to double that revenue number. Talking with Fortune, company officials seem to be very confident with Pebbles place in the wearable device market, even with the growing amount of competition.
In a rare and wide-ranging interview, Apple's design chief Jony Ive offers a few new insights into one of the most secretive technology companies on the planet -- and explained why he, like his late mentor Steve Jobs, takes it personally when other companies are given a pass on designs that look remarkably similar to Apple's. "It's theft," Ive told London's The Sunday Times. "What's copied isn't just a design, it's thousands and thousands of hours of struggle.
We now know that Apple held closed-door talks with Tesla, a meeting of two innovative companies that hints at a number of possibilities. But buried in that same report from the San Francisco Chronicle is the news that Apple may also be preparing to release a heart-attack prediction device. According to the report, Apple is developing sensor technology that would be able to predict heart attacks.
Apple is still making hires to work on its much-anticipated iWatch.

Besides tying a stopper knot in the ends of your rappel ropes, you should always use a stopper knot when you're belaying your climbing partner on a single-pitch sport route. Get in the habit of doing it, even if you know how long the route and your rope are.
Use Stopper Knots When Sport Climbing
When you're sport climbing, that is climbing single-pitch bolted routes that end at bolt anchors, the lead climber is tied into the active end of the rope, while the other end lies limp on the ground. Tie a stopper knot in that limp end because there is the possibility that when you lower the leader after she's clipped the anchors, that the rope is not long enough to reach the ground.
Lowering Accidents are Killers
If your rope is not long enough for the leader to climb and descend and you don't have a stopper knot tied at the end, you risk having the rope slip through your belay device and the climber crashing to the ground—a scenario that happens every year at sport areas around the world. Usually most lowering falls that happen this way are short, less than 30 feet, but any sudden fall has the potential for severe injury or death.
Always Tie a Stopper Knot
Always use a stopper knot in your rope when sport climbing. Get in the habit of tying it before you put your lead partner on belay. And if you're the leader, ask your belayer to tie a stopper knot in the end or better yet, do it yourself. After all, it is your life that the knot protects. Always tie a stopper knot if you're unsure how long the pitch is or if you're unsure about the length of the rope you're using. Many sport routes, especially newer ones, are longer than 85 feet, which is half the length of a standard 165-foot (50-meter) rope, because many climbers now use a 200-foot (60-meter) rope to maximize climbing distance. Never assume your rope length. Tie a stopper knot for peace of mind.
Analysis of a Lowering Accident
If you look through any issue of Accidents in North American Mountaineering, an annual accident analysis published by The American Alpine Club, you'll find lowering accidents and fatalities that could have been prevented if a stopper knot had been tied at the rope end. An example is from August 6, 1996 when a young woman was leading a long pitch at City of Rocks in southern Idaho. Her father, belaying on the ground, was lowering her down "when the last of the rope slipped through her father's hands before he realized what was happening." He didn't realize how high she had climbed nor that he didn't have enough rope to lower her to the ground. Park ranger Brad Schilling reported that there were six other serious accidents that year at City of Rocks "caused by a belayer letting the rope-end through the belay device."
Make Stopper Knots Your Habit
The lesson to be learned from this accident is to always tie a stopper knot in the inactive rope end before the leader leaves the ground. Make it a habit and you'll avoid ever having a lowering accident.

It's funny how the slightest noise, sound or gesture can take you back to your childhood- especially when most of it was spent on fat tyres and having a blast with mates.
I've just spent a few days in Wales with mountain bikes and some old riding friends at a wild campsite in the middle of seemingly no where. It's one of those rare places that still lets you have proper campfires- an essential in my books.
Arriving in hammering rain, we decided to ski a ride and get camp sorted out before it got too wet- and we even made a decent shelter to sit under one it was raining- although it wasn't needed as eventually as the light started dropping, the sky cleared and we had a great sun set. The evening was spend around the fire and BBQ snacking on chicken and burgers, and catching up on times we'd missed over the last three years.
When we hit the trails the next day, it felt like old times. The smell of camp fire smoke clung on our clothes and the rich smells of earth and ferns took me back to riding with these guys as a kid. None of these guys have mountain bikes any more- they're all riding road bikes and fixies, but after a few days blasting the Welsh trails and hanging round a camp fire, they all remembered why they used to ride them in the first place.
Mountain bikes offer you that excuse to get away with like minded folk and have a good time outdoors. Sometimes there's nothing better than sleeping under the stars after a roaring fire and a few beers- knowing you'll be having a great ride the next day and repeating the process. Even now I'm writing this with a grin and the feint smell of bonfire hanging in my flat, which just makes me want to organise another trip right now.
Get your friends together, and get out with your bikes to a good campsite and rough it for a few days. Living without the mod cons of daily life and a thrill of riding great terrain is something we should all be doing. British countryside is great- get out there and enjoy it!

Big money was spent Sunday night as this year's advertisers shelled out $4 million for a 30-second spot during the game.
Budweiser's ad featured an adorable yellow lab puppy who forms a friendship with a Clydesdale. The puppy gets adopted but can't resist coming home with the help of the horses. It topped the ad meter. This is the second year in a row Budweiser has won the advertising battle. They released the spot a week ago creating plenty of buzz ahead of the big game.
Viewers got a kick out of one of two Doritos ads. One featured two brothers fighting over Doritos. The winner, the little boy using a lasso and his great dane. This spot landed second on the ad meter.
Another Budweiser ad warmed America's hearts. The heroes' welcome commercial placed third on the ad meter. It featured a soldier's real welcome home parade when he returned from Afghanistan.
Also among the most talked about, the much anticipated Seinfeld reunion. Jerry and George got together for a snippet of comedians and cars getting coffee.
Most ads ran between 30 or 60 seconds. The longest, a two minute ad for the Chrysler 200.
