Daniel Roberts of Moss Point is not your average 21-year-old.
He works full-time by day on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. as a legislative correspondent for Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland. By night, he's a full-time student at the University of Mississippi through distance learning and online courses.
He is finishing up his senior year at Ole Miss and last week was one of 10 seniors inducted into the university's 2013-14 Hall of Fame class, one of the school's highest honors.
"It feels amazing," said Roberts. "It's just a real humbling experience. To think that my picture will forever be in the union at Ole Miss among doctors and lawyers and people who have been leaders in our state."
Roberts is no stranger to leadership. He's a 2010 graduate of Moss Point High School where he served as both class and student council president. It wasn't unusual to find him leading his classmates in some kind of community project.
Roberts led the way in 2009 with a "Stop the Violence" walk in reaction to the death of a Hattiesburg man who was shot and killed by a group of teenagers. The walk became an annual event.
During his junior year at Ole Miss while serving as president pro tempore of the Associated Student Body, he was instrumental in developing and implementing a smoke- free policy for the campus. The idea came from hearing students complain about walking to class and having smoke blown in their faces, people not adhering to the designated smoke zones, and even students who suffered from asthma attacks.
Because he and his colleagues worked so hard, students, visitors, and faculty and staff, are not allowed to smoke on campus. Roberts says it was arguably the biggest piece of legislation that student government has pushed through recently at the university. When the policy that he co-authored hit the senate floor, it was a memorable moment.
"It was tough. We knew it was going to be a lot of debate and argument, but we came prepared," said Roberts. "We had a PowerPoint presentation and had really done our research. We thought out every possible question and every possible answer. After a two-hour debate, it had passed."
Roberts is an honors college student and a member of the Lott Institute at the University of Mississippi majoring in public policy leadership. He is currently working on a 60-page thesis titled "The Smoke Free Campus Movement."
His passion for politics led him to Intern in the Office of the First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House in the spring of 2013. Roberts worked specifically in the social office where he had the opportunity to plan and host events like the Teacher of the Year Ceremony, Wounded Warriors Bike Ride, and Governor's Ball. He says at times, he couldn't believe it was all real.
"That has been one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had," said Roberts. "I saw the First Lady once or twice a week and would see the President three or four times a week. It was just amazing to see them in their day-to-day life and see their true interactions with one another."
Roberts says his favorite event during his time with the first lady was the Easter Egg Roll, because it brought back memories of his childhood.
His father, Ruben, was in the Army and worked for Whitehouse transportation, so he participated in the Easter Egg Roll every year. Roberts' father retired from the Army just before Daniel's seventh birthday, and the family moved to Moss Point, his mother, Debra's, hometown.
"Once we moved to Mississippi, I had never been able to participate in the Easter Egg Roll again," he said. "With me working in the social office, I was able to plan and host this event that I once enjoyed as a kid. That was a great experience."
When Roberts finished that internship, he anticipated working in D.C. for the summer. He had applied for another internship and felt things looked promising. When he got the news that he was not accepted, he wasn't sure what his next move would be. Then, he got a call about an internship with the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, but it was nonpaying with no support for housing.
Roberts' decision to "tough it out" and take the position that summer led him to his current job on Capitol Hill.
"The biggest advice I have is 'don't be afraid to take that next step'," said Roberts. "I have learned that sometimes the best opportunities come at the least opportune time. I was supposed to go back to Ole Miss and finish my senior year. Then my boss at the time presented a job opportunity to me. She said if I could find a way to finish school while in D.C., she could help me. I wrote a proposal to my university and got it approved, and at the least opportune time, the biggest opportunity came to fruition. You have to strive to be the best at what you're doing, so when the opportunity presents itself, you're willing to take it, grab it by the horns, and own it."
Roberts has accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time. He served as special events coordinator of the Black Student Union and vice chair of the Traffic Appeals Board at Ole Miss. He helped organize the Ole Miss Diversity Tent for game days. He participated in the Mississippi First Quality Education Advocacy Group and is a member of several academic, leadership, and service societies including Alpha Lambda Delta and Gamma Beta Phi.
His service includes work with the Anacostia Watershed Society and Port Elizabeth, South Africa Sustainable Development Program, just to name a few. He is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. For all the he has accomplished, Roberts gives credit to God and his parents who always taught him that he could do anything he sets his mind to.
"Honestly, I would have to say it started at home. My mother and father are my biggest supporters and motivators. They always encouraged me and instilled in me that if it's God's plan for me, then it will happen. My faith in God is what keeps me grounded. Each and every day I start with my daily devotional. It helps to have that quiet time."
In addition to his faith, Roberts also believes that hard work goes a long way.
"You don't have to be the smartest person or have the most money to be successful and to accomplish things," he said. "There are so many people who are much smarter who do so much more, but it's about working hard, working until you can't work anymore. That's how you can accomplish so many things. It's about having dedication and passion. I believe that with all my heart."
Roberts will graduate in May and has plans to start a master's program in the fall while continuing to work in D.C. He will later attend law school. Roberts says he sees himself in some leadership role in the future, but not necessarily a particular political office.
"Most likely I will be providing support, whether it is as chief of staff one day or a high level official for a government agency, or something of the like," he said.

Ever since my sister told me about buying frozen artichoke hearts, I have been taken with the idea of making an artichoke lasagna. I ended up making artichoke lasagna several different ways because I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to make it. I kept playing around with the concept until I created a recipe that was delicious and easy enough to make it into my "keeper" file.
Every variation has been amazingly delicious, but the recipe I am sharing is the easiest and most frugal one that I came up with. Because the veggies naturally release liquid while cooking, you can put the noodles in uncooked and they will absorb the extra liquid. Instead of making a separate sauce and a vegetable layers, I combined the two to make it easier to assemble and one less pan to wash.
- 1¾ cups (or 15 ounce can) tomato sauce
- 2 cups (or 14.5 oz. can) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 (14 ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, drained and chopped
- 10 ounce frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 9 uncooked lasagna noodles (use brown rice noodles to make this gluten-free)
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 – 16 ounce container cottage cheese
- ¼ cup+ chives, diced
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
- In a large pot, combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, spices, sugar, and carrots. Cook over a medium flame until it reaches a boil.
- Lower the flame and add artichoke hearts and spinach and simmer until the veggies are heated through. Remove from flame.
- In a bowl mix together 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, and chives.
- In a large greased 13 x 9 spread ~ 1 cup of the tomato mixture.
- Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top of tomato mixture.
- Layer ⅓ of the tomato mixture on top of the noodles. Layer ½ of the cheese mixture on top of the tomato mixture.
- Repeat noodles, tomato mixture, cheese mixture.
- Repeat noodles and tomato mixture.
- Place remaining cup of mozzarella over the tomato mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Sprinkle a few chives on top of the cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Mental Health: 7 Anger Management Tips
Anger is considered to be a normal, healthy, human emotion, which most of us express from time to time. However, when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can cause major problems, at work and in your personal relationships. Anger can also affect the quality of your life as it tends to consume you and can make you feel like a helpless victim, at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.

It is hard to imagine given the precarious condition of what was and should be the land of the free, the home of the brave and one nation under God, that projections are less than one-half of registered voters will bother to vote in this general election. That doesn't count those who are eligible and who are not registered.
Not voting at all is indefensible, voting in ignorance is inexcusable and above all, in my opinion, Christians doing either or both is a sin. Samuel Adams, a dedicated Christian often referred to as "Father of the American Revolution," admonished the people to be faithful in voting:
Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.
If you have heard that before, repetition is an effective form of learning, and it is obvious that far too few people sitting in pews every Sunday have heard it at all or often enough. Offices from school boards, city councils, county commissions, state legislatures and governors to the direction of Congress are in the balance – along with the future of the country...

Texans LB Cushing out for season with torn ACL
Published On: Oct 09 2012 05:08:21 PM CDT
Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.
Cushing was hurt in the second quarter of the Texans' 23-17 win over the New York Jets on a low block by guard Matt Slauson. Cushing walked off the field on his own, but didn't return.
Coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that Cushing has a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will need surgery.
Tim Dobbins moved into Cushing's spot in the lineup, and finished with four tackles and a pass deflection.

The Secret to Feeling Energized
Gratitude's Rewards
How is it gauged? In one study, researchers asked a group of healthy college-age adults to keep a weekly list of five things for which they were grateful ("the generosity of friends," "the music of the Rolling Stones," "wonderful parents"), while another group of students was asked to track hassles ("stupid people driving," "messy kitchen no one will clean," "finances depleting quickly") or to rate their responses to various life events ("learned CPR," "cleaned out my shoe closet"). A third group, this one consisting of adults with chronic neuromuscular diseases, wrote down what they were grateful for each day for three weeks ("my boss for understanding my needs," "my paperboy for being so reliable"), while a similar group counted burdens instead.
According to results published in the March 2003 issue of Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the participants who counted blessings -- whether they were the healthy students or the chronically ill adults -- reported feeling more energetic and a heightened sense of mental well-being. The students exercised more; the chronically ill adults reported sleeping well and waking up more refreshed. The grateful groups also reported feeling optimistic and better about their lives as a whole -- they looked forward to making progress toward important goals. Gratitude also turned out to be measurable in the moral sphere. The grateful groups were more likely to help someone with a personal problem or to offer emotional support.
Psychologists and other experts speculate that some people are genetically predisposed to be grateful, much the way some have a flair for drawing and others are shy in a group. "There are people who seem on the face of it to have very little to be thankful about, yet they're still grateful," observes Sharon Salzberg, a meditation teacher in Barre, Massachusetts. People with grateful natures tend to feel grateful whether something good happens to them or not. Feeling grateful is, in essence, their baseline mood, their personality's default screen saver, if you will.Noticing the Positive
Of course, science has yet to invent a once-a-day gratitude pill. But even if we're tough to impress or our life has hit turbulence or we're simply feeling feelingless, we can still get a significant boost by acknowledging whichever events and experiences have gone right for us -- a sunny day, a good parking space, our mate bringing us a cup of tea unbidden, a favorite song coming over the radio. "It's not about forcing a feeling," says Salzberg. "It's about paying attention in a different way. Challenges can feel permanent, as if they'll never go away. But the truth in life is that everything changes. And in the meantime we can make a conscious effort to look at the good."
Elaine Porter, a 46-year-old sales associate in Chicago and the mother of two sons, chose gratitude as a response when she was a girl, growing up in a chaotic home. "My dad was an alcoholic, and my parents fought a lot." Porter says that her older sister watched out for her. "She even took me along with her on dates." Porter remembers understanding at a young age that, to get by, she would "have to look for what was positive," an attitude that has gone on to serve her well. Her first husband died, and her second marriage ended in divorce. Her mother is ill, and her 25-year-old son recently confided that he has been struggling with a drug addiction. Still, Porter continues to choose gratitude. "I feel grateful that my son came to me and told me about his drug problem, so that I could help get him into rehab. You can't choose what life throws at you. But you can choose the way you look at those things."

Sustainability requires an integrated approach; therefore this program takes leading research and practice from the disciplines of sociology, business, building science, psychology, and engineering to prepare students to implement change across an organization. This program is founded in the philosophy that in order to integrate positive change within an organization, the following four sectors must be aligned.
This spring and summer we will offer the first badge in each quadrant. Badges can be taken singularly or can be bundled for a certificate. A digital badge is an online representation of a competency or skill you've earned.
Sessions will include lectures, group activities, and discussion. Between sessions, you will complete exercises to apply the content learned in class to your current work or your vision for your future work. Through each badge, you will build your toolkit with the knowledge and skills necessary to be a change agent in your organization.
The following badges will be offered in Fort Collins, CO at CSU's new Energy Institute in the spring and summer of 2014. The Integrated Sustainability Management Certificate is earned upon successful completion of all four badges. Students may choose to take one badge at a time or may register for all badges at one time and receive a discount for the overall cost of the certificate. Students will have 2 years to complete the required number of badges to earn the certificate.
*FREE Introductory Course
This free introductory course is open to anyone and is required for those taking 200 level badges.

Structure/Function Claims (cont.):
Chasteberry also appears to affect levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone, other reproductive hormones that may contribute to symptoms related to the menstrual cycle. Chasteberry appears to be useful in reducing the irritability, bloating and depression that many women experience right before their menstrual periods begin.
It can also minimize the pain and discomfort of fibrocystic breasts in women with this condition. Chasteberry may regulate ovulation and help women who are struggling with infertility to become pregnant by correcting a condition known as luteal phase defect. In addition, women who suffer from symptoms like hot flashes, sweating, vaginal dryness or depression due to hormonal imbalances associated with menopause may benefit from Chasteberry. Symptoms of endometriosis and acne related to the menstrual cycle may respond to Chasteberry as well.
In addition to its wide range of uses to treat symptoms related to the reproductive system, Chasteberry is also an antioxidant. As such, it is capable of stabilizing unpaired oxygen molecules. These molecules, the result of chemical reactions that take place in the body on a daily basis, are capable of causing damage throughout the body unless they are stabilized. Chasteberry may also be able to lower cholesterol levels in the blood as well as treat migraine headaches.
The usual dosage for PMS and related symptoms is 400 to 500 mg daily in single or divided doses. Capsules and tablets are absorbed best when taken with meals.
Some symptoms of PMS respond quickly to Chasteberry, while it may take three months for the full benefits of the herb to be noticed. When Chasteberry is used to regulate menstruation or induce ovulation, it may take up to six months for the herb to work. Since it can affect hormones, women who use oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy and pregnant or lactating women should not take Chasteberry.
Dosage :
Dry, Powder, Decoction & Infusion + All Non-Standardised Extracts
30 - 2000 Milligrams per day, dried fruit
For premenstrual symptoms: Preparations equivalent to 30-240 mg of dried fruit, per day
Risk Information :
Caution(s) and Warning(s):
Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist.
Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms worsen.
Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking hormone-containing medications such as progesterone preparations, oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy.
No statement is required

Again, this has nothing to do with the University of Alabama, but again it's a nice story involving a collegiate football player. Too much negativity in the news, someone has to accentuate the positive.
Danous Estenor is a 21 year-old offensive lineman at the University of South Florida.
Across the parking lot on that Thursday night in February, [Estenor] saw a frightening scene: a tow truck driver pinned under the rear tire of a 1990 Cadillac Seville that had lurched forward as he worked underneath it, his wife struggling in vain with two men to lift the car. […]
"I just see his legs," said Estenor, 21, a child of Haitian immigrants from Palm Beach. "The car is crushing him. He's not moving. I'm thinking, 'Oh, God, this guy is going to die.' "
"I tried to lift the car, and when I first tried, it didn't budge. I backed up. I don't know. But I felt this energy come, and I lifted it. I don't know how, but somebody pulled him from the car."
Maria Uribe had been sleeping in the cab of her husband's truck when she heard Arzola, 34, yelling "Ayudame!" — help me. The scene looked "like a horror movie … a lot of blood," she said. The Cadillac's front right tire had run over Arzola's torso and dragged him about 10 feet.
Somehow he sustained only cuts, bruises and a dislocated shoulder, which was pinned beneath the rear tire. He was back towing cars two weeks later.

I personally am not sure if to believe in these or not since there is no evidence to support them. I once had a experience where I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed this white floating orb like mist at the end of my bed which I stared at for at least 30 seconds before it started floating towards me and the orb started to form this UGLY evil looking face at which freaked out. >_< I even screamed and looked away and it was gone.
I can maybe dismiss that as I wasn't fully awake, my family members have seen some weird stuff in the house, three people witnessed a baseball being levitated and thrown. I wasn't there so I cannot say for sure among other things.
What do you personally believe? Should we just blow all this off as mass hysteria?

Sizuha Aki
Shizuha Aki in Mountain of FaithSymbol of Loneliness and Demise
More Character Titles
Goddess of autumn leaves
Controlling the turning of leaves
Near the Youkai Mountain, Forest of Magic[1]
|Official Games
|Print Works
Shizuha Aki (秋 静葉 Aki Shizuha) is the goddess of autumn leaves and thus have to power to control the turning of the leaves. She is Minoriko Aki's older sister and together they have the ability to control autumn. She first appeared in Mountain of Faith being a stage 1 midboss.
General Information
She believes that the autumn colors of the turning leaves are the best thing about autumn, and is filled with a sense of superiority when she shows the beauty of the leaves to her sister. She becomes sorrowful and pessimistic as winter approaches.
Surprisingly, she doesn't use supernatural powers to turn the leaves red. Instead she "paints" them by hand, which is why the colors of the leaves are inconsistent.[1] Fallen leaves are another part of her work. Instead of dropping leaves moderately, she simply kicks on the trees and scatters them roughly.[1][2]
She is the goddess of autumn leaves and with her sister, who is the goddess of harvest, they control autumn. Together they are not the best at fighting, but when someone is disrupting autumn they punish that person.
It is difficult for her to gather faith, which makes it a bit challenging to distinguish her from a normal youkai. However, goddesses of autumn leaves appear to be pretty rare, so she doesn't have the problem of competition that her sister Minoriko faces.
Character Basis
Her name is Shizuha Aki (秋 静葉). The character for Aki (秋) means "Autumn", and Shizuha (静葉) means "quiet(静) leaves(葉)".
Shizuha has yellow-orange eyes and short blond hair with red autumn leaves in her Mountain of Faith official art. She wears a long red-orange dress with darker red at her middle and arms and more orange towards the bottom and ends with leaf-shaped cut-outs around. There is a white collar at the top of the dress. Under the white collar there is something what resembles a nametag, with three buttons next to it. She has white socks and black shoes.
Mountain of Faith
Shizuha was under the impression that the heroine in Mountain of Faith was coming to disrupt autumn, which prompted her to attack. But she was easily defeated, however, being a mere first-stage midboss.
Minoriko Aki
Minoriko is her younger sister. Together they control Gensokyo's fall season. Shizuha often brags about how beautiful she makes the leaves look, but is also jealous about Minoriko's popularity with humans as a harvest goddess.
Spell Cards
Additional Information
- It makes very much sense for Shizuha to be the older sister who is the goddess of turning leaves as the leaves change in autumn before the harvest.
- Despite being older than her sister, Minoriko, she only appears as a mid-boss in her stage and has no dialogue in the game. This has lead most doujin authors to represent Shizuha as an immature and unreliable older sister who depends on her younger sister for everything.
- She is sometimes shown to be jealous of her sister's greater popularity among humans and/or curvier figure.
- Since Minoriko and Shizuha are the spirits of autumn and "disappear" during winter, and Letty is the spirit of winter, fans suggest a rivalry between them. This leads to depictions of Shizuha openly attacking Letty; after all, she is a spirit of autumn and despises winter.
- Because she and her sister were ranked the lowest of the Windows characters in a year's annual Touhou Popularity Poll, there is a running joke in Japan that they are "original characters" with negligible presence in the games. There is a doujin anthology project dedicated to the Aki Sisters, perhaps to compensate for this.
- On her character portrait, the leaves on her head roughly resembles a crab if they are seen as a single piece rather than two. This occasionally leads to her being associated with one, the leaves on her head being replaced by one, or herself replaced by one in fan works.
- Aoneko (Nicovideo, Pixiv), noted to be one of the biggest fans of the Aki sisters, started an Aki sisters-only video website called AkiTube.
- Even though her character portrait, her sprite, and each of her print work appearances show the bottom of her dress as being shaped like leaves, many fans omit the detail and instead draw her dress as having a straight edge.

The public is invited to attend a free workshop about the Essex County Home Improvement Program.
Eligible residents can learn how they can have repairs made on their homes at no cost, according to Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr.
The free workshop will be held Wednesday, March 14 at 7 p.m. at the Belleville Senior Center, 125 Franklin Ave., across Nanina's In The Park in Belleville.
"Maintaining your home can be very difficult, but Essex County is here to help," DiVincenzo said. "We invite the public to attend our upcoming free workshop and learn more about our Home Improvement Program. Eligible
homeowners can get the help they need to make repairs, protect their investment and enhance their quality of life."
The Home Improvement Program is funded through the Community
Development Block Grant Program and offers deferred loans to low- to
moderate-income homeowners to make improvements on heating systems, roofing, plumbing, electrical and code violation abatements.
Participants must follow program procedures and meet income guidelines. A lien is recorded against the property, which must be paid only if the homeowner sells or transfers ownership of the property within a 10-year period, officials said.
If the homeowner retains ownership within the 10-year period, the lien is forgiven.
The Essex County Division of Housing and Community Development,
located at 20 Crestmont Road in Verona/Montclair, offers a variety of
assistance programs designed to stimulate economic growth, stabilize
residential neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for low- and
moderate-income residents.
It administers the Community Development Block Grant Program,
Assistance Program and the Community Economic Revitalization Program for façade improvements for the County and 18 Essex municipalities. Bloomfield, East Orange, Irvington and Newark have their own housing and development programs.
For more information, call the Essex County Division of Housing and Community Development at 973-655-0200.

Added Dec 23, 2011

Leeds, United Ki...
Self drafted pattern – as usual.
This was actually my first attempt to use my overlocker on jersey fabric.
And I made this dress twice. The first time I was not fully satisfied with it, so I took it apart, added darts, pleated instead of gathering, reattached the belt (probably even inverted the side).
The dress is sooooo comfy :) Viscose fabric makes it so soft and lets the skin breathe. I can't wait for spring to wear it.
Some may say it looks like a dressing gown, BUT with right accessories it is going to be an outstanding outfit :)

Yep, just lovely. How was the viscose to work with?
Dec 23, 2011, 03.41 PMby Lattikka
It is amazingly easy :) it stretches the way you think it would, it falls the way you expect it to, and while stitching it – it kinda even aligns itself for perfect results… :D

As a passionate fan, I have a tendency to overreact to things concerning my beloved Broncos, both the good and the bad. Things are seldom as bad as they seem…the Von Miller and Clady situations come to mind, nor are they always as bright and orange as the kool-aid colored glasses would have me believe. To make my point more clearly, I will take a look at a few things in the game with the Jaguars and look at how each can be viewed as either a positive or a negative and then maybe provide my overall assessment of the game. As a disclaimer, I am just a fan. I have no formal training in play diagnostics, nor do I have the resources to view the game multiple times. These are just things I see from watching the game as it happens (fortunately, I live in Utah, so I do get the majority of the telecasts).
As this will be stat and sight based commentary, I will start with a "by the numbers" approach.
0 – as in 0 sacks against. On the positive side, Manning was not sacked in the game so surely our offensive line is playing well, despite the fact that we lost Franklin for much of the second half. This is after losing Clady and Koppen earlier in the year, so for all intents and purposes, we had only 1 guy (Beadles) playing in his preseason projected place on the line. That's pretty good.
On the negative, Manning was hurried and hit far more than I am sure any of us are comfortable seeing. It even appeared to me that Manning was a bit skittish, especially in the late first and second quarters. I also can't fail to mention the two poor exchanges that led to fumbles. Clearly, the line play left something to be desired today.
3 – as in 3 touchdown runs by Knowshon Moreno. Three touchdowns by anyone on the Broncos is a positive so Moreno, and by extension, the run game performed well.
Unfortunately, other than the three scoring plays, Moreno was pretty much bottled up in the run game – finishing with just 42 yds on 15 carries, back to under 3 ypc. Hillman and Ball didn't provide much either, with multiple instances of dropped passes and putting the ball on the ground. The running game just couldn't get it going against the worst run defense in the league.
12 – as in 12 offensive points scored by Jacksonville. This one is pretty easy. While it is the fewest points given up by the Broncos this year (a positive), this number is also more than the average scored so far this year by the Jaguars (a negative)
35 - as in 35 offensive points scored by the Broncos. First the negatives. We left plenty of points on the board (the Manning fumble at the 4 being the prime example), but it just seemed like the offense was running in quicksand. Guys weren't getting open, too many drops, Manning not being his normal spectacular self. This was a historic offense that could only muster 35 against the "worst" team in the league.
But on the positive, it was 35 points. That is wonderful offensive production, even if it isn't quite up to our normal standard. You are going to win a lot of games in the NFL if you can score 35 points a game.
My overall impressions of the game?
Offensively, we clearly did enough to win a game in the NFL. It was not as clean and precise as we have shown in the past, but we still put up over 400 yards and 35 points. That will get it done. Continually putting the ball on the ground won't. The turnovers are going to hurt us one of these games if we can't get that straightened out – especially against a team like the (I hate to say it) Chiefs.
Defensively, I am to the point where I can no longer provide any kind of defense (pun intended) for the secondary. They are not good right now. They have the ability to be good, even dominant, and it may end up as being a strength to our defense, but right now, it just isn't happening. I don't know if it is a scheme thing or a personnel thing, probably some combination of both, but how can you keep letting the same guy beat you play after play. Justin Blackmon had 14 catches for 190 yards (over half of their 374 yard total). He was their only option for most of the game, yet he was running free time after time. This is becoming a very bad pattern and when Chad Henne can exploit us to the point that he actually produced more yardage than our own PFM, well it is past the time to give excuses. The pass defense (and I include pressure from the line as well) must improve. Von will help as will getting others healthy but right now, this is our Achilles heel – at least as I see it.
But to end on a positive note – despite all the defensive struggles, we were never truly threatened in this game and the ultimate result was a 16 point beat down. We are 6-0 and our young players are getting valuable experience.
19-0 Till we ain't
What do you think Broncos Country - is the glass half full or half empty?

Crooning like Johnny Cash in a satirical music video published Monday by comedy website Funny or Die, actor Jim Carrey mocks gun enthusiast and actor Charlton Heston, claiming his famous remarks about prying a gun from his "cold dead hands" kept him out of heaven, and also means he probably had an "itty-bitty gland."
"'Cold Dead Hand' is abt u heartless motherf%ckers unwilling 2 bend 4 the safety of our kids," Carrey wrote Sunday night on Twitter. "Sorry if you're offended by the word safety!"
Given his prior statements, it's probably not surprising that Carrey is promoting gun control measures. "Any1 who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting," he wrote in February.
"Over a million ppl have been killed by guns in the US since John Lennon was shot," he added on Sunday. "Look no further than your own backyard for WMDs!"
His lyrics in "Cold Dead Hand" are right along those same lines, complete with a backing band dressed like John Lennon, President Abraham Lincoln and Gandhi. "Charlton Heston movies are no longer in demand," Carrey sings. "And his immortal soul may lay forever in the sand. The angels wouldn't take him up to heaven like he planned because they couldn't pry that gun from his cold, dead hand."
"It takes a cold, dead hand to decide to pull the trigger," he goes on. "It takes a cold, dead heart, and as near as I can figure, with your cold, dead aim you're trying to prove your dick is bigger, but we know, your chariot may not be swinging low… You're a big-big man with a little-bitty gland, so you need something bigger just to fill your cold dead hand."
The website also released the song, and a karaoke version, on iTunes.
This video is from "Funny or Die," published Monday, March 25, 2013.

DANBURY, Conn., Aug. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biodel Inc. (Nasdaq:BIOD) today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Highlights since beginning of third fiscal quarter
Dr. Errol De Souza, president and chief executive officer of Biodel, stated: "We have continued to build on our momentum by achieving milestones that keep us on track to generate top line Phase 1 data for our analog-based ultra-rapid-acting insulin in the first calendar quarter of 2013, generate top line Phase 2 safety and efficacy data for BIOD-123 in the third calendar quarter of 2013 and submit an NDA for a liquid formulation of glucagon for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in early 2014. The recent financing extends our runway and enables us to reach all of these value building milestones without the need for additional financing."
Third Quarter Financial Results
Biodel reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $6.1 million, or $0.52 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.48 per share, for the same period in the prior year.
Research and development expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in the prior year.
General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to lower stock-based compensation expense.
Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 included costs of $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees and non-employee directors. In addition, the results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 included an increase of $1.4 million and a decrease of $1.4 million, respectively, in the fair value of the company's common stock warrant liability.
Biodel did not recognize any revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.
On June 11, 2012, the company effected a one-for-four reverse split of its outstanding common stock and fixed on a post-split basis the number of authorized shares of its common stock at 25,000,000 (reduced from 100,000,000 authorized shares). As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of the company's common stock outstanding at the effective time was automatically changed into one-quarter of a share of common stock. Also as a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding options restricted stock units and warrants issued by the company and the number of shares reserved for future issuance under the company's stock plans were reduced by a factor of four.
On June 27, 2012, the company completed a private placement of an aggregate of 4,250,020 shares of the company's common stock, 3,605,607 shares of the company's series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,749,469 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.66 per share. The company received net proceeds, after deducting placement agents' fees and other transaction expenses, of approximately $17.2 million from the 2012 private placement.
At June 30, 2012, Biodel had cash and cash equivalents of $43.7 million and 14.0 million and 5.4 million shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock outstanding, respectively.

A reporter for the New York Times claims that federal investigators harassed him by obtaining his personal bank records, travel records and information about his phone calls while trying to find the source of an intelligence leak.
In his 2006 book, "State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration," author and New York Times reporter James Risen describes a CIA effort to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions by secretly providing them with faulty blueprints. In the end, a Russian defector working for the CIA exposed the plot.
Risen was subpoenaed twice to testify about his sources. The first grand jury was was dissolved before he could be forced to testify. For reasons that have not been revealed, US District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema quashed the second subpoena last year.
Early this year, authorities arrested former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling and charged him with six counts of unauthorized disclosure of national defense information and one count of unlawfully keeping national defense information, mail fraud, unauthorized conveyance of government property and obstructing justice.
Sterling, who has pleaded not guilty, allegedly gave a journalist confidential information about the nuclear weapons capabilities of "Country A" and "a person linked to this operation."
Sterling allegedly gave the information in 2003, for an article that wasn't published, and in 2006 to the same reporter, this time for a book.
Authorities did not name the country, the "national newspaper" nor the journalist, but the dates and details point to Risen and his 2006 book.
Sterling's defense team, Ed MacMahon Jr. and Barry Pollack, recently filed a motion in federal court in Alexandra that revealed the prosecution had turned over "various telephone records showing calls made by the author James Risen. It has provided three credit reports — Equifax, TransUnion and Experian — for Mr. Risen. It has produced Mr. Risen's credit card and bank records and certain records of his airline travel."
Risen told Politico that he felt "like the target of spying."
"We've argued that I was a victim of harassment by the government. This seems to bolster that," he said. "Maybe I should ask them what my credit score is."
"Third-party subpoenas are really, really invidious," Jane Kirtley, a University of Minnesota law professor and former director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, noted. "Even if it is targeted, even if they're trying to just look at the relevant stuff, they're inevitably going to get material that exposes other things."
"It's the same thing as if the cops go to someone's office with a search warrant and say, 'Give us the information we want and we won't tear the place apart,'" she added. "If you say 'tear the place apart,' all kinds of confidential information that you don't think the police should have is going to end up in their hands."
– with AFP
The Soviets would've be proud of our "Authorities".
The teabaggers are always screaming about freedom and liberty and smaller government. I wonder if this will even make their radar.
It's time to dust off the F-word: Fascism.
Nope. And Rison writes things that make their war mongering heroes look bad, so no, not on the radar of those morons.
Besides, most of them are Fox drones, so whatever IHateAmericaHannity or Beck says is the path, the path to deep ignorance that is. And the Fox line 'O bull is Rison writes the truth about the neocon madmen so he equals the enemy. Same clown act every single day fromFox.
The ever creeping fascism in America, the dust has been off for a while! Seems to be getting creepier by the day.
Exactly. But it's not just Fox. They are merely the worst offender. I doubt even the "mainstream" media will give this the coverage that it deserves. You would think that all journalists would WANT to scream about this at the top of their lungs as evidence of how important their job is and how under attack they are.
And the government is not supposed to investigate to find the source of unauthorized disclosures? Surely it's obvious that the kind of intelligence information mentioned in the article was likely obtained initially from an enemy insider, and the disclosure makes the enemy's leadership aware that someone on their staff has given the info to the U.S. That could cause the source to be lost and possibly even an individual killed.

Natalie's Review
d'Arenberg The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Vigonier 2006, Mclaren Vale, Australia: The vineyards bushland that surrounds the d'Arenberg winery are home to the unique native Australian bird, the Kookaburra, famous for its distinctive laughing call. Much to the amusement of the family, Chester Osborn's daughters, Alicia and Ruby, named their two wild pet Kookaburras the "Laughing Magpies". The Magpie plumage is black with stripe of white feathers and bears no resemblance to its famous cousin, but to this day the name has stuck. The Osborns thought the name was a good choice for McLaren Vale's first ever Shiraz Viognier blend combining the (black) Shiraz and its white partner, Viognier and for its being such a cheerful wine (with color and life) it resembles this cheeky native bird. I love the way Viognier brightens and lifts this robust red. Layers of plummy, cranberry goodness. Closed with a screwcap. 936971 14.50% XD 750 mL $27.95 Score: 90/100. October 7, 2008 Full Review

The BEDL Toys for Tots Party has been around for ten years now and continues to get growing support from generous hearts. For the third year in a row, Del Frisco's hosted this successful charitable event with co-sponsor ChiroCarolina. The Toys for Tots Party is held to support the U.S. Marine Reserve Corps' program that aims to give the less fortunate children of the community a very merry Christmas. During the event, attendees are encouraged to bring new and unwrapped toys that will later on be distributed to the children.
To get people to support the charitable event, Del Frisco's and ChiroCarolina made sure that there's entertainment and good food by having a live band, a cash bar and serving hors d'oeuvres to guests. Indeed, with the spirit of giving together with a fun-filled event, the Toys for Tots Party was able to raise a huge number of donations yet again.
ChiroCarolina offers chiropractic services in the Charlotte area. As a way of giving back to the community, they also actively participate in various charitable events. Recently, Dr. Ali of ChiroCarolina volunteered at a veterans hospital to commemorate Veterans Day. He offered his chiropractic services to U.S. troops seeking relief for various body pains.

Current Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio has been sent a contract by USC that -- if signed -- will make him the next head coach of the Trojans, according to LA's Daily News' Scott Wolf.
Del Rio has extremely strong ties to the university -- he was an All-American linebacker at USC in the 80's and was the Rose Bowl MVP with the Trojans in 1985. He also played catcher on the same USC baseball team as Mark McGwire, which isn't necessarily pertinent information here, but I found interesting nevertheless.
If Del Rio accepts the job at USC, he will forfeit over $15 million in remaining salary from Jacksonville.
For more on USC, including some parting thoughts on Pete Carroll, head to SB Nation's Conquest Chronicles.
