Reviewing before exams can be a long winded process, however, it needn't be completely teacher centered. One technique I've found extremely useful is to have students review materials by circulating around the room posting questions on sheets pasted to tables or to the wall. Focusing a wide variety of forms, and asking the students to circulate to fill in the sheets allows the students the ability to check on each other's answers. Of course, it also permits students to cheat off each other's answers. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. The main purpose of this type of exercise is review rather than testing, so students who feel they need some help will see multiple examples from better students in class.
Key to the success of this type of exercise is discussion during the review session. I generally go from one form to the next. When reviewing tenses, I divide the review into four sections for each tense:
- Provide a time expression or phrase that indicates that the tense in question should be used. For example, if the tenses to be reviewed include the present and past simple, present and past continuous, present perfect and present perfect continuous forms each student places one time expression appropriate for that particular tense on the sheet provided.
- Positive sentence - students should provide write a positive sentence including an appropriate time expression. Encourage students to use the time expressions the have been posted previously on the individual sheets.
- Negative sentence - following the same instructions
- Questions - as above
Aim: Reviewing grammar before an exam as a class, rather than teacher centered
Activity: Grammar sheet to fill in by the students
Level: Any level
- Prepare a sheet for each grammar or learning concept that you would like to review in class. The sheet should be titled with the name of the form and a number.
- Place the sheets strategically around the room, the more space the better. You can hang sheets on the wall, or place sheets on tables.
- Give each student a number. If there are more students than sheets, double up on the numbering. If there are more sheets than students, it won't be necessary to number each sheet.
- Ask students to go to their assigned sheet. Ask the students to write an example of the form (if applicable) on each sheet.
- Encourage students to compare notes and ideas as they circulate around the classroom doing the exercise.
- After students have provided an example of each form, double check the sheets to make sure the review is progressing correctly. If there are problems, take time to discuss the issues with the entire class. Typical examples include students not using the base form of the verb in the question forms of the present and past simple, word order not being switched in question forms, etc.
- After the class has reviewed together, ask students to take their seats.
- Discuss any issues that are still unclear to the students.

Ideally, this happens at the invitation of the slower group. Let's say you're in the Slow Group, and you notice that the Fast Group behind you is always waiting on your group. Yet, there is room in front of your group - the hole ahead is open. In this case, it is good golf etiquette for the Slow Group to invite the Fast Group to "play through."
The Fast Group might also request to play through the Slow Group. If that happens and you're in the Fast Group, be certain that there are holes open ahead of the Slow Group (somewhere for you to play through to, in other words), and that you are polite in making the request. If the request is granted, be quick about playing your shots and move ahead briskly.
Playing through can be contentious when groups disagree over whether to make the maneuver. In such cases, groups should talk to a course marshal if one can be found.
Playing through most typically occurs in one of these ways:
- The Slow Group is on the green while the Fast Group waits in the fairway. Slow Group waves Fast Group up to green. After Fast Group plays approach shots, Slow Group putts out. Slow Group waits on next tee, and allows Fast Group to tee off first, moving them ahead.
- Fast Group reaches tee box while Slow Group is still teeing off. Slow Group allows Fast Group to tee off and move ahead.

The Dallas Cowboys are stuck in a rut. One week us fans, and the team, enjoy a nice slow ride up a hill, and then the next week, it is a fast and wild ride down that same hill. As a fanbase, we have already covered the reasons for the team's 2-2 start, but the good news, for now, is that the team leads the NFC East. That could change very rapidly within the next five weeks. If the team isn't careful, us fans could be waking up to a 2-8 team on Veterans Day and two weeks worth of soul searching. What follows is a objective study of the next six weeks of play in the NFC East.
Week 5
Washington Redskins: I start with the easiest team in the division only because the Skins are on their bye week. Hopefully they don't get into trouble, but they forget to play football and it results in Robert Griffin III and a full team of weaklings playing us in Week 6:
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants: What can I say, this is a matchup of two losers and that is being kind. Philadelphia enters with a 1-3 record while the Giants are 0-4. In the best case scenario, the Giants win this game to improve to 1-4. The reason why is because the New York Giants need to win this game to keep Philadelphia from improving to 2-3. As it stands, we root for Eli Manning to have the best day possible vs the Philadelphia pass rush and the Giants gain some confidence.
Denver Broncos at Dallas Cowboys: Depressing isn't it. I do have Denver beating Dallas in my Lock of the week. However, the Cowboys can still win this game. All we have to do is keep the ball on the ground by giving it to DeMarco Murray and involve our rookies in the passing game a bit more. That will allow us to dominate time of possession and keep Peyton Manning off the field. Best Case Scenario: We hang with the Broncos and maybe beat them. Worst Case Scenario: We are down at the half and then forget that Murray exists and the victorious Eagles are LOL'ing at our mistakes in the MetLife Stadium visitors locker room. Regardless of this fact, make no mistake, I don't expect Dallas to win this game, but It would be nice if we did.
Best Case Scenario standings
Dallas: 2-3
Washington: 1-3
NY Giants: 1-4
Philadelphia: 1-4
Worst Case Scenario standings
Dallas 2-3
Philadelphia: 2-3
Washington: 1-3
NY Giants: 0-5
Week 6
Giants at Chicago Bears: Now we can resume laughing at the Giants misfortune. Best case scenario: Giants are treated like a rented mule at Solider Field to the point that Jay Cutler has career highs vs the Giants. Worst Case Scenario: Giants continue or begin to win vs the Bears.
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: What can I say, the Eagles could win this game, but it is going to be a battle of college coaches in this one. Best Case Scenario, Tampa Bay picks a good time to win a game. Worst Case Scenario: Philadelphia picks a good time to go on a winning streak with Dallas Week up next.
Washington at Dallas: This is the first of two straight division games for the Cowboys and the beginning of a tough five game stretch for the Redskins before the Week 11 rematch at Philadelphia. Both teams can use a win here. Best Case Secenario: Cowboys win by exploiting the Redskins defense. This means heavy rushing by Murray and giving the ball to Dez Bryant for big catches. Worst Case Scenario: RGIII simply continues where he left off on following last year's Thanksgiving game.
Best Case Scenario Standings
Dallas: 3-3
Washington: 1-4
NY Giants: 1-5
Philadelphia: 1-5
Worst Case Scenario Standings
Philadelphia: 3-3
Washington: 2-3
Dallas: 2-4
NY Giants: 1-5
Week 7
Chicago at Washington: As noted above, this is the start of a tough stretch for the Redskins. Luckily, it starts with the Skins hosting the Bears but it isn't likely that Washington will enjoy a slight home field advantage given how Chicago is playing despite last week's loss to Detroit. Best Case Scenario: The Bears continue their mastery of the NFC East with the dismantling of their hosts. Worst Case Scenario: Washington loves to eat Bears to Stephen Colbert's glee, and wins a shootout due to a timely interception committed by Cutler.
Dallas at Philadelphia: Regardless of what happened on the field, it is clear that the week leading up to this game will be a spirited one for both fanbases at SBNation and it all started over Anthony Spencer and his sack totals. Regardless, this will be a key game for both teams. Best Case Scenario: Chip Kelly keeps getting "Welcome to the NFL," moments and that means a dominating win over the Eagles. Worst Case Scenario: Not a good day for the Cowboys as it is clear by this point that the plan put forth by the San Diego Chargers. This includes a career day for Michael Vick and both LeSean McCoy.
Minnesota Vikings at NY Giants: The only saving grace for the Giants is that they get Eleven days off following the Week six game. Best Case Scenario: Adrian Peterson has a field day at MetLife. He first gets to meet Snoopy and then gets to trash the Giants defense and rushes for over 200 yards and 4 touchdowns. Worst Case Scenario: Giants win over Minnesota and do so in a shootout and Eli manages to destroy the Minnesota defense late.
Best Case Scenario Standings
Dallas: 4-3
Washington: 1-5
NY Giants: 1-5
Philadelphia: 1-5
Worst Case Scenario Standings
Philadelphia: 4-3
Washington: 3-3
Dallas: 2-5
NY Giants: 2-5
Week 8
Dallas at Detroit Lions: This is the first of two games where the Cowboys face a team with an elite running back. Here the Cowboys have to contend with Reggie Bush and he is crucial to the Lions playoff hopes. However, we also have to keep Calvin Johnson in our gameplan as well, unless he is not scheduled to play, but we can't plan on that happening. Best Case Scenario: We force Detroit to abandon the run and the Cowboys go interception crazy on Matthew Stafford. Worst Case Scenario: Reggie Bush has a career day vs Dallas.
NY Giants at Philadelphia: The second of two games between these teams this season. Best Case Scenario: It doesn't matter what happens here, but if I were to forced to cheer for either of the two teams, I would Pick the Giants to win. Worst Case Scenario: Giants win in a world where the Cowboys are third in the division. Not good news for Dallas.
Washington at Denver: Washington's tough stretch continues vs the Broncos. Best Case Scenario: Denver mops up vs the Washington Defense and Peyton doesn't need to play the 4th quarter. Worst Case Scenario: Denver's defense fails to contain RGIII and this leads to the Broncos first loss of the season.
Best Case Scenario Standings
Dallas: 5-3
NY Giants: 2-6
Washington: 1-6
Philadelphia: 1-7
Worst Case Scenario Standings
Washington: 4-3
Philadelphia: 4-4
NY Giants: 3-5
Dallas: 2-6
Week 9
NY Giants: Our enemy in New York has their bye weekend.
Minnesota at Dallas: The Vikings come to AT&T for the first time, also known as Jerry world. Best Case Scenario: We treat the Vikings to strippers and they forget their gameplan, as a result, they are staring at the big screen all game and watching Tony Romo take out their defense. After the game, Jared Allen agrees to a verbal contract to play for the Cowboys next season. Worst Case Scenario: AP loves Texas and goes wild against our defense. As a result, the Vikings enjoy a two touchdown victory.
San Diego at Washington: Yes the stretch continues with Washington facing the Chargers. Best Case Scenario: San Diego treats Washington just like they treated the Cowboys and destroy the Washington defense. Worst Case Scenario: The Redskins manage to win in thrilling fashion and keep pace with the Eagles in the division.
Philadelphia at Oakland Raiders: The Eagles make their trip west. Best Case Scenario: The Eagles fail to play their best vs the Raiders and lose in a blowout. Worst Case Scenario: Philadelphia wins with ease.
Best Case Scenario Standings
Dallas: 6-3
NY Giants: 2-6
Washington: 1-7
Philadelphia: 1-8
Worst Case Scenario Standings
Washington: 5-3
Philadelphia: 5-4
NY Giants: 3-5
Dallas: 2-7
Week 10
Washington at Minnesota: The last in a very tough stretch of games lets Washington travel to Minnesota for this Thursday tilt. The only saving grace is that the Redskins handled the Vikings very well in their last meeting. Best Case Scenario: The Vikings win this one after an RGIII fumble that would have given the Redskins the game winning touchdown. Worst Case Scenario: Washington continues their dominance of the Vikings.
Philadelphia at Green Bay Packers: Chip Kelly's Eagles face a former Pac-10 QB in Aaron Rodgers. Best Case Scenario: So the Eagles don't get a prime pick, it is best for them to win this game, plus we remember how much the Packers contributed to Cowboy woes in the past. Worst Case Scenario: At this point it doesn't even matter, but the Eagles win.
Oakland at NY Giants: The rebuilding Raiders continue their tour of the NFC East. Best Case Scenario: Giants win and we need them to continue to win so they don't get a good pick. Worst Case Scenario: Giants win and put distance between themselves and the lowly Cowboys.
Dallas at New Orleans Saints: This is a game worthy of Sunday Night Football as the Dallas Cowboys face off against the Saints. What will happen? Will Rob Ryan manage to get the best of Tony Romo and the Cowboys offense or will Drew Brees be screaming for mommy thanks to the Sean Lee Pass rush? Best Case Scenario: Yes we have a three and a half game lead on the Giants, but we need, and will get, this win so we can go into the bye with a stranglehold on the NFC East. Worst Case Scenario: The season doesn't matter at this point. Tank the season and get some fresh help with high draft picks, Cowboys lose.
Best Case Scenario Standings and Analysis
Dallas: 7-3
NY Giants: 3-6
Philadelphia: 2-8
Washington: 1-8
What happens here is that the Cowboys have taken control of the division and they will need the current 3.5 game lead for the stretch run. For the record, Dallas is in position to clench the division as soon as Thanksgiving when the team faces Oakland in our yard. Given the current makeup of the conference, it is very likely that the Cowboys could end up clenching a 1st round bye as well. It would be nice for the starters to come into Week 17, and being able to rest for the next two weeks. As for the other NFC East teams, Washington is the worst of the bunch, but St. Louis holds their 1st round draft pick and the worst case scenario for the draft would have both New York and Philadelphia in the middle to bottom of the top 10.
Worst Case Scenario Standings and Analysis
Washington: 6-3
Philadelphia: 6-4
NY Giants: 4-5
Dallas: 2-8
Hopefully this scenario doesn't come to pass, but it does show how things change in the league. In this scenario, the Week 11 matchup will be key to deciding the Division. A Philadelphia win means that the Eagles will control the tiebreaker with Washington, but with the Giants hot on their tail. The game vs Green Bay will tell the tale. A Win and New York can think about fighting for a wild card berth, but a loss will pretty much end their season with the 2-8 Cowboys coming to town. As for our boys, what can I say. What needs to happen is that the Cowboys need to win out and a collapse happens with both Washington and Philadelphia in order for us to try to sniff the postseason.
The above maybe best and worst case scenarios, but we can also expect a middle of the road scenario as well. Despite the current health of the NFC East, this is a league where any team can win on any given Sunday. The Cowboys could enter their bye week with a 5-5 record and breeze through the rest of the schedule with a perfect record, or we could finish 8-8 for the third season in a row and lose to Philadelphia in our own building.

Increase the Veterans Administration budget to recruit and retain more mental health professionals
Increase "the VA budget to recruit and retain more mental health professionals."
Subjects: Health Care, Veterans, Workers
Funding bill signed into law
Updated: Monday, April 5th, 2010 | By Lukas Pleva
In December 2009, we reported on President Barack Obama's ongoing efforts to increase the budget for the Veterans Administration, specifically for the purpose of recruiting and retaining more mental health professionals.
At the time, we noted that both the House and Senate passed a bill to provide $4.6 billion "for mental health care to treat the psychological wounds of returning combat veterans, including post-traumatic stress disorder" as well as "an additional $1 million to provide education debt relief as a hiring incentive for mental health professionals." We ultimately rated the promise In the Works, since Obama still had to sign the legislation into law.
Looking back, however, it appears that we were a little behind schedule. Our rating went up on December 17, 2009, though by that time, Obama had already signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010, which contained funds for, among others, the Veterans Administration. In other words, this has been a Promise Kept for over three months now.
Looking forward, Obama's 2011 budget, if approved by Congress, would provide even more funds for the upcoming year. According to the Office of Management and Budget, the 2011 budget "strengthens VA"s ability to provide veterans the best possible care for Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, and other mental health conditions by investing $5.2 billion in specialized care."
Obama increased the VA mental health care budget in 2010 and asked for further increases in 2011.
Promise Kept.

More money for mental health
Updated: Thursday, December 17th, 2009 | By Lukas Pleva
During the campaign, Barack Obama promised to increase funding for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The additional resources would be used, in part, to "recruit and retain more mental health professionals" to better serve existing veterans and troops returning from combat.
In his budget proposal for 2010, President Obama requested that about $112.8 billion be allocated for the department -- an increase of about 15 percent compared to 2009. According to a statement from the department Web site, "This is the largest one-year percentage increase for VA requested by a President in over 30 years." The budget request includes $4.6 billion for inpatient residential and outpatient mental health programs -- a $288 million increase over 2009. According to the Office of Management and Budget, the extra funding "enhances outreach and services related to mental health care and cognitive injuries, including posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury."
The conference report bill that would provide funding for the department in 2010 and that was negotiated by House and Senate lawmakers in early December allocates $4.6 billion "for mental health care to treat the psychological wounds of returning combat veterans, including posttraumatic stress disorder" and an additional $1 million to provide "education debt relief as a hiring incentive for mental health professionals."
The House and Senate still have to pass the final bill, which President Obama then has to sign before it becomes law. This may become a Promise Kept in the near future, but until then, we rate it In the Works.

BOSTON (AP) – Imprisoned former Chelsea Housing Authority Director Michael McLaughlin, 67, of Dracut, was indicted again yesterday, this time by a federal grand jury for conspiring with two other accomplices to rig the inspection process of federally funded housing units in Chelsea.
The grand jury also indicted James Fitzpatrick, 63, of Acton, and Bernard Morosco, 50, of Utica, N.Y. for impeding the Department of Housing and Urban Development's assessments of the public housing units maintained by the Chelsea Housing Authority. Fitzpatrick is the Chelsea Housing Authority's former assistant director for modernization and capital planning, while Morosco was hired as an outside consultant to help prepare for the inspections.
McLaughlin is a former Methuen town manager from 1990 to 1992 who was paid $360,000 a year to run the Chelsea Housing Authority before resigning under fire.
According to the indictment, they conspired to defraud the United States and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by impairing, impeding, and defeating the proper operation of the physical condition assessment by HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC), which relies on a statistically valid random sample of units to inspect.
The indictment detailed by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz alleges that from 2006 through November 2011 Morosco had access to a secure database that he used to tip off McLaughlin and Fitzpatrick which units would be randomly inspected by HUD. McLaughlin would then direct "SWAT" teams of CHA employees to make repairs in those units.
According to the indictment, pursuant to federal regulations to determine whether a public housing authority is meeting the standard for its residents of conditions that are "decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair," REAC is required to "provide for an independent physical inspection of a public housing authority's property or properties that includes, at a minimum, a statistically valid sample of the units in the PHA's public housing portfolio to determine the extent of compliance with the standard."

L'Etape du Tour – Albertville to La Toussuire (08 July 2012)
Would you believe it? Four days before the Tour de France race a stage of the Tour is blocked for all traffic and opened to amateur cyclists. How many participants you think would show up? Crazy enough to ride 152km including six steep mountain climbs, some of them with 20km-long steady uphill grades? Some hundred?
No less than 9.500 amateur cyclists from over 50 nations participated in this Albertville to La Toussuire Etape! All of them with a burning passion for the mythical Tour de France and eager to test their legs in the French mountains, and to live the dream of riding a Tour de France stage just like the pros.
Obviously we had to be there! Not only because biking is deeply engrained in Oakley's DNA. Not only because a team of Oakley employees participated in the race – which they actually did, and we are mighty proud of them! Not only because we wanted to present our brand new performance sports glasses to all of those bike fanatics and their fans (only let's say about 25.000)…
No, the Rolling O-Lab just had to be there, because it's an event that gives you goose skin with its intensely buzzing energy, with its daring challenge and the beauty of the nature around you. Thousands of cyclists, no matter if in serious competition mode or with a "just to participate"-attitude – all of them challenging their capacities, battling through one steep hill climb after the next, reaching their physical limit, passing it with sheer mental strength, sweating, suffering, cursing – and in the end celebrating!
As always, the Rolling O-Lab was to be found in the centre of the buzz, right in the starting area. We had a local dealer on site selling product to the public, focused for the product demonstrations on the RADARLOCK™ and presented our professional cyclist-stars and BEYOND REASON protagonists Mark Cavendish (Winner of 21 Tour de France stages among his countless successes) and Cadel Evans (2011 Winner of the Tour de France).
If there's an event that's a true BEYOND REASON event for amateurs, we think this one has its name very high up on the list of top contenders. Which is why we can only recommend that you train and train and train from now on until next year, and then participate yourself!
You have to ride the race to truly understand what the Tour de France is about – and to pass that test is – quote from a participant – the biggest gift you can give yourself!

There, now he's trapped in a book I wrote: a crummy world of plot holes and spelling errors! They're like sex, except I'm having them! OK, this has gotta stop. I'm going to remind Fry of his humanity the way only a woman can.
For the last time, I don't like lilacs! Your 'first' wife was the one who liked lilacs! I usually try to keep my sadness pent up inside where it can fester quietly as a mental illness. Who said that? SURE you can die! You want to die?!
Hey, you add a one and two zeros to that or we walk! They're like sex, except I'm having them! Hey! I'm a porno-dealing monster, what do I care what you think? I'll tell them you went down prying the wedding ring off his cold, dead finger. Now what? You don't know how to do any of those.
Ugh, it's filthy! Why not create a National Endowment for Strip Clubs while we're at it? I can explain. It's very valuable. Hey, tell me something. You've got all this money. How come you always dress like you're doing your laundry? Maybe I love you so much I love you no matter who you are pretending to be.
Okay, I like a challenge. I feel like I was mauled by Jesus. Oh, how awful. Did he at least die painlessly? …To shreds, you say. Well, how is his wife holding up? …To shreds, you say. You're going to do his laundry? No, she'll probably make me do it. For the last time, I don't like lilacs! Your 'first' wife was the one who liked lilacs!
Whoa a real live robot; or is that some kind of cheesy New Year's costume? Alright, let's mafia things up a bit. Joey, burn down the ship. Clamps, burn down the crew. You can crush me but you can't crush my spirit!
Ah, computer dating. It's like pimping, but you rarely have to use the phrase "upside your head." That's right, baby. I ain't your loverboy Flexo, the guy you love so much. You even love anyone pretending to be him! No, she'll probably make me do it.
I daresay that Fry has discovered the smelliest object in the known universe! Who said that? SURE you can die! You want to die?! You know, I was God once. Fry! Quit doing the right thing, you jerk!

A lot more smokers might quit if they knew it could save the life of their pet. A study published in Tobacco Control says secondhand smoke can be just as deadly for pets as it is for humans.
Smoking has been linked to cancers, allergies and skin diseases in dogs and cats. But the study says a survey of 3,000 smokers show one out of three people knew that secondhand smoke could trigger cancer or other diseases in their furry friends.

Decker is seen by many as the top free agent receiver this year. He hauled in 87 receptions for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. This production is outrageous and is a huge reason for Denver's success in the passing game. But is he the man to fix the Jets woeful passing game?
Talent on Roster: Decker is undeniably an upgrade over the current receiving corps. At 6'3" he would give Geno Smith a big target that compares favourably to David Nelson. Nelson had success this season hauling in 423 yards and 2 touchdowns in a shortened year. Nevertheless, Nelson is evidently not the answer for the Jets. However, someone of a similar body type with more talent might well be, in Decker the Jets find just that. Decker is someone who can be a big red zone threat with reliable hands. If you see Decker as a Nelson 2.0 then he is at least a consideration for the Jets in free agency.
Possibility: I'm pretty confident in saying that Eric Decker will not be a Denver Bronco in 2014. The Broncos cannot afford to keep all 4 of their playmakers in Julius Thomas, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker. They have a projected $12.4 million in cap space according to Spotrac.com. The Broncos have multiple other players who are free agents including both starting corners in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Chris Harris Jr. The Broncos have openly said they cannot afford to pay Decker like a number one receiver when they only view him as a good number two. I believe that this could be a huge stumbling block for the Jets in pursuit of this acquisition. Idzik will not pay over the top for one single player regardless of the position.
Talent: Do Decker's numbers overhype his talent? I think the answer is yes on this front. This does not mean he is devoid of talent, in fact far from it, but equally I don't think he is a guy the Jets should pursue. Decker does not possess top end speed which worried scouts both throughout the draft process and his first few years in the league. Decker has benefitted from being surrounded by Welker, and the two Thomas'. Defenses had to cover all four of them and thus Decker would often find himself in single coverage against a number two or three cornerback who was significantly shorter than him. This enabled an easy pitch and catch especially in the red zone. With the Jets, Decker would never find this. Coverage would be rolled towards him instead of away from him, and I for one am not convinced he could still produce in that environment. I just fail to see him as a number one receiver in an offense which is currently bereft of talent.
Price: The Jets could see up to $40 million in cap space if they make the logical cuts (Holmes, Sanchez and Cromartie) However, teams like the Raiders are predicted to have nearly $60 million prior to any cap casualties. They are not alone as the Colts, Jaguars, Vikings and Redskins are just four more examples of receiver needy teams with more cap space than the Jets. Ultimately, I feel the Jets would not be wise to, nor will they be willing to compete economically for Decker's services with some of these overly aggressive front offices such as Washington and Oakland.
The Peyton problem: Along with the issue of money and lack of physical talent I am most worried that Decker is the product of Peyton. Manning is arguably the best quarterback of all time and the 2013 Broncos were the most explosive and prolific offense in NFL history. Decker was one of four receivers to have double digit touchdowns this season. Manning threw for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards. This evidence alone does not demonstrate that Decker is a product of Peyton but we all know Peyton has been consistent throughout his career, the same cannot be said for Decker. Through his first two years of his career he failed to have over 700 yards receiving or double digit touchdowns. It has to be taken into account that Tebow was playing quarterback. But the less said about that the better, I think we've all heard enough about Tebow in New York. Despite this, when you review Demaryius Thomas' numbers they are very similar to Decker's with five fewer games in 2011. This demonstrates the difference between a true number one receiver and Eric Decker.
Overall: This is one of those occasions where the stats do not tell the whole story. Decker was inflated by Peyton's play and being part of a four pronged aerial attack offense. However, Decker is better than he showed in 2011. In reality he is somewhere in between. He is a good number two possession receiver. He is very potent in the red zone, runs good routes and has pretty good hands. The issue is that Decker is not particularly fast and I have serious concerns about his ability to be the number one option. He is better than what we currently have. But I still believe the Jets can do better both in free agency and the draft.

Casio Multilingual Data Bank DB-37H
Definitely a Mainland China Casio Case Back :)
From the finish you can easily tell, that the case back must have been machined in the Mainland. It is a lucky shot of course that the light angle stressed those "polishing" lines so well. The finish of the case back is pretty coarse. Quite unusual also the list of functions stamped into the case back: Telememo 30, Multifunction Alarm, Countdown Timer, Dual Time. I am writing this out in case your eyes are getting older like mine. Also for unknown reasons, the Chronograph function did not make it to this list on the back.
At the bottom of the busy case back is the list with TLAs for the 13 languages in which you can set this nice "TV Screen" Casio. I really like its light weight - 63 grams, also thanks to a Resin (plastic) case.

Awesome route (when it's clean). Bouldery start, to right-ward traverse, past a fixed pin, finish on stellar left-leaning hand crack. Doesn't get much traffic, and might be pretty dirty. Ajax (5.11d?) is the splitter thin crack that heads straight up after the fixed pin.
Stranded in the middle of Black Wall, with a couple of other obscure but good routes. Between "One Hand Clapping" area and "Black September" area.
Gear to 2", chain anchors.

This is the large off width crack, to the left a little and up from Kutcorner. Using a 70M rope, we used the anchors on top of Hand Jive to toprope this climb. This crack looked easy on rappel but climbing it was a whole different matter. We didn't climb Kutcorner, but started from the very bottom and climbed this weird chimney to the left, up to the Kutcorner chains. Once you are up there it is obvious why the Falcon Wasatch Guide labels this as a 5.9 A0 or 5.11. From the chains you'd have to make the thinnest little friction moves to get to the crack. We both took the rope swing. A bolt has been placed above the chains to make the aid swing but because it is straight up, swinging from the bolt might be difficult.

BOSTON (AP) - Rayvonte Rice scored seven straight points late in the game and finished with 28, rallying Illinois past Boston University 66-62 on Wednesday night in the first round of the NIT.
The second-seeded Illini fought back from a 30-13 first-half deficit. Rice made the key play with 2:07 left when his steal and three-point play trimmed it to 61-60. He added two free throws and a driving layup to give Illinois a 64-61 lead.
Dom Morris missed a contested layup on an inbounds play with 11 seconds left that would have tied it for BU, the regular-season champion in the Patriot League. Nnanna Egwu added two free throws to ice it for Illinois (20-14), which advanced to play No. 3 seed Clemson in the second round. Malcolm Hill had 10 points for the Illini.
It was the first meeting between Illinois and BU (24-11), which was seeking its first win in the NIT after five losses. D.J. Irving had 17 points for the seventh-seeded Terriers and point guard Maurice Watkins had seven points and 12 assists. Morris scored 10.

Turco Must Step Up
by Paul on 04/26/06 at 03:16 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
After giving up a whopping five goals to Colorado in each of his first two games of this postseason, Turco is 7-12, and seemingly headed toward another springtime flameout. It's time for Turco to steal one. If he doesn't do it Wednesday, he probably doesn't have to worry about getting the quick ticket out of town like Cechmanek and Lalime did. His job's probably safe -- for now, anyway. But his reputation, and the Stars' season, may be sealed.more

I kind of lost discipline the way our team did in the game." Reacting to Ruff's saying the Flyers acted like "idiots," Hitchcock ended his postgame news conference by saying Ruff could "[bleep] off." "To use a word like that on television or on radio or in print is not who I am," Hitchcock said. "That's not what I'm about, so saying it was the wrong thing.Watch the outburst from Hitchcock...

Lightning coach John Tortorella is getting tired of all the penalties being called -- and his club has only played three games in the first round of the playoffs. While Tortorella claimed he was speaking, with respect for the job officials have to do, he doesn't like the fact there are so many power plays. "I say just let the players decide the outcome. I know they want to keep the standard that was established during the regular season and I understand that," said Tortorella. "But I want the players to decide the outcome because in the end, that's the way it should be..."read on...including Redden dealing with his mother's death, Hasek update and even more from Tortorella...

Advice To Wings Fans

The dark cloud floating over Wings fans today (even on a cloudless morning in Michigan) can still disappear. Panic has officially set in- numerous online forums are full of despair. Maybe fans can take some advice from ex-Wing Darren McCarty whee talking about the Tigers yesterday- via the Calgary Sun, "What do you do? You can't have a favourite team and bail on them," he said. "I was lucky because I was around when they won in '84 with Gibby (Kirk Gibson), Trams (Alan Trammell), Lance Parrish, Jack Morris, all those guys. That was the heyday and you have to stick with them through thick and thin."

Sharks coach Ron Wilson said Tuesday before Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series against Nashville at HP Pavilion that the story line on penalties in the playoffs has been overdone. "It seems to be a fixation on the part of the media," he said. "It's not the fault of the referees. It's the fault of the players committing the fouls. I don't have a problem with it." - Mercury News The New York Rangers' Jaromir Jagr, when asked to name three people he'd like to invite to dinner: "Shakira. And if I invite her, forget the other guys, because they would just bother me." -Toronto Sun CBC Television has approached the National Hockey League about extending its contract and keeping Hockey Night in Canada on the network well past the current 2008 expiration date, according to sources. Nancy Lee, the head of CBC Sports, confirmed yesterday that the network is interested in extending the contract. "But there's nothing pending at this point and time," she said. -Globe and Mail

Everything Going Wrong For Rangers
by Paul on 04/26/06 at 09:57 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the NY Times,
Just before the playoffs, Jaromir Jagr received a shipment of hockey sticks that he should have immediately tossed into the trash. The name "Jarg," next to the No. 88, was painted on all the sticks. Jagr, as he is known to most of the world, wears 68. At the time, Jagr laughed at the errors. But when he walked into the Rangers' locker room Tuesday afternoon, he said, "See what happens when I play with that stick?" For Jagr and the Rangers, the playoffs have been one gigantic misprint. The Rangers have been blown out twice by the Devils and they cannot count on their superstar to save them in Game 3. Enough time has passed since Jagr injured his left arm in Game 1 that he is able to talk about it, but he does not feel comfortable playing with it.continued

Will NHL Improvements Matter
by Paul on 04/26/06 at 09:43 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the AP via Sports Illustrated,
After expanding too much and looking after the product too little, Bettman finally got it right. The NHL has cost certainty and a solid foundation, but perhaps more important, the league has a product that is fast and dramatic enough to translate to the still-small-but-growing TV screen without the excitement cut off at the edges. An increasing number of high-definition telecasts will help. But unless the league's marketing department comes up with new and better ways to connect with viewers who aren't fans already, all those improvements combined won't make enough of a difference to matter.more

I love ginger in whatever shape or form: fresh, stem, crystallised or ground. It is a lovely spice and really versatile. When I was younger, one of my favourite things to eat were ginger nut biscuits. I remember dunking them in my tea or coffee, when I was with my dad and nan. This week I have really had the urge to do some baking. I have no idea why, I just did. However, in my opinion there is a difference between midweek baking and weekend baking. In the middle of the working week, I do not want anything too complicated to cook. I just want to go in the kitchen cook something and then get out to eat my reward as soon as I can. At the weekend, I will quite happily spend hours in the kitchen cooking up a storm.
Therefore, I searched the internet and asked the people of Twitter (again!) (Thanks to @storm_rider_uk, @BigSpud, @Mapperz and @daphnedeboer) I eventually settled on a recipe for ginger biscuits, which was on the forums of Jamie Oliver's website. The link to the recipe is here and my slightly adapted version is below.
Ginger Biscuits
100 grams butter
20-30 grams golden syrup (I didn't bother measuring this – I just guessed!)
175 – 225 grams caster sugar (I used 200 grams of sugar)
300 grams plain flour
2tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarbonate soda
4 tsp ground ginger
Pinch of salt
1 egg beaten
Please note : you can use up to the full amount of sugar and golden syrup depending on how sweet you like them.
1. Pre heat the oven to 160c or gas mark 3 and line two baking sheets with grease proof paper or the reusable baking sheets.
2. Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan and bring up to heat melting the butter and allowing the mixture to amalgamate. Allow to cool slightly
3. Sift together all the other dry ingredients into a bowl
4. Pour in the warm butter mixture and bring it all together, then add the egg mixture and mix thoroughly.
5. At this point the mix should be holding is shape but it will be slightly brittle when you mould into balls. Don't worry this creates the ridges and finished texture of the biscuit. 6. Create balls about 1-2cms in diameter and place on the baking sheet, you can at this point press down to create discs or leave them to spread a little in the oven. You should be able to get 24 -26 biscuits out of this one batch.
7. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes until they are starting to colour, they will be initially soft when removed but as they cool the will firm up. I left them to cool on baking tray for an hour as had to go out as soon they were cooked and they were fine. I suggest not moving them onto a wire cooling rack until they are firm. Enjoy these biscuits with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
My friends and colleagues at work have tried them and have said how yummy they are, so please give them a go and let me know how you get on. My next post (at the weekend) will be a Chorizo and Pepper soup which I am making for the No Croutons Required challenge. My first every blogging/cooking competition. My mouth is watering already, as chorizo and peppers are two of my favourite ingredients.
Happy Cooking

I love her! This was such a great class. I took this class because it was a requirement, but I learned so much about teaching in general! She has so much respect for all people, and it's contagious. I'd recommend her to anyone who has an interest in teaching at all. Wonderful person. Great sense of humor too.
Sweetheart! Not a hard class AT ALL. So Glad I took her. Lots of class discussion, so pay attention to syballus. Very open to comments. I loved the projects, that's the only written work you do. Take her!
No Comments
GREAT TEACHER! One of the best I've had at SCSU. She teachers practical infomation that you will use in your classroom. She cares about grammar so watch out! Other then that, great professor and great class. Its a goodie!
Great Professor. Had her for the summer class. Assigns a lot of work but it seems to me that everyone gets an A. She really knows what she is talking about, brings a lot of insight to the teaching profession. I highly recommend taking this class.
The course was very helpful, this is the class you want to take if you want to become a good teacher. There was research projects. Uses videos and technology. Talks about real issues teachers face in the classroom. Good Class Take it!

Andy MacPhail, who had three titles as Cubs president, CEO and general manager at the start of the season, announced the change Friday in what he called his "final act" as general manager. He then removed himself as GM, a job he added in July 2000, and named Jim Hendry, vice president of player personnel, to that role.
Hendry promoted Triple-A Iowa manager Bruce Kimm to interim manager for the remainder of the season. Kimm was expected to join the team in Atlanta Saturday.
"We'll give Bruce the opportunity to manage the ballclub and evaluate the club under his leadership," Hendry said.
"Every year I've been with Don, every year has gotten better," Cubs catcher Joe Girardi said earlier this week. "This is the first time I've seen a club under Don take a step backwards. It's unusual for me. And he's very frustrated."
Where did Baylor fail?
"He didn't win enough games," MacPhail said. "Is that his fault or is there one element of his job that he did not do well? That's the type of stuff for endless speculation.
"The expectations for this club coming into the 2002 season after being the most improved in 2001, everyone's expectations was ranging somewhere between first and third (in the Central Division)," MacPhail said. "And when you find yourself in fifth at the halfway mark of the season, that's when managers become vulnerable."
The number of wins didn't match up with the talent on the field, MacPhail said. It's not just Baylor's fault, either.
"We all failed -- the front office, the coaching staff and certainly the players, as well," MacPhail said. "We all share a bit of the responsibility."
"I tried to take a global view and look at the big picture," MacPhail said. "The spectrum of things we ask (managers) to be good at today is humongous. In the end, you have to evaluate the results."
The Cubs were batting .242 overall and just .236 with runners in scoring position -- compared to Atlanta, which was hitting .271 in such situations -- and a feeble .191 with runners on and two out.
The lack of hitting -- the team has ranked last in the Majors in batting average most of the year -- was especially frustrating for Baylor, a former hitting coach.
"I think this group has not played together as a unit," Baylor said in an interview with MLB.com earlier this week. "I imagine that comes with our performance, too. Believe me, I would love to put out the same lineup every day. That would be fine with me.
"But this inconsistency of hitting, I'm having a hard time with it. To hit .230 when they say pitching is as bad as it is, that's what I'm baffled by. If you're hitting .250, .260 as a team, you have a lot more wins. That's what I'm troubled by."
MacPhail, who has been commuting to New York since joining the labor negotiating team in June, said he decided to make the change when he called Delta Airlines Thursday night and booked a flight to Atlanta. Baylor is the first manager MacPhail has fired.
"I've got the world of respect for Don Baylor," MacPhail said. "He's first class, first cabin. He was disappointed. I think where most of that disappointment lay was in the won-loss record of the team. I, personally, was grateful as hell with how gracious he handled it, and how easy he made it on us. He understood it was something we did not enjoy doing."
The Cubs play 63 day games at home and, unfortunately for Baylor, could not adjust to the early starting times. Chicago was hitting .232 in day games and had a 4.92 ERA, going 14-29. In night games, the Cubs were batting .250 with a 3.75 ERA and 20-20 record.
"It's unfortunate," Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood said earlier this week in Miami when rumors began swirling about Baylor's shaky job status. "We're not playing bad because of the manager."
Besides the inconsistent offense and the many injuries -- including Alou, Hundley, Alex Gonzalez, Flash Gordon and Kyle Farnsworth -- Baylor also has struggled with players who are not as motivated as he was when he played.
Some players balked at making adjustments, such as Corey Patterson, who has not shown much patience as the Cubs leadoff hitter. Patterson drew 10 walks in April but three in May and June, and his average dipped each month. It frustrated Baylor.
"For me to sit and take pitches, I'm not going to do that," Patterson said Friday. "Hitting 0-2 and 1-2 (in the count) at times is not a way to make a living. That's not how I'll get on base."
Baylor was named the 46th manager in Cubs history on Nov. 1, 1999. He is the sixth manager to be fired this season, joining Detroit's Phil Garner, Kansas City's Tony Muser, Colorado's Buddy Bell, Milwaukee's Davey Lopes and Toronto's Buck Martinez. And that's not counting Joe Kerrigan, who was fired as Boston's manager in Spring Training, and replaced by Grady Little.
Kimm, who turned 51 on June 29, was in his second season as Iowa's manager and his seventh as a minor-league manager. He led Iowa to a 44-45 mark this year and his career minor-league managerial record now is 480-449. The former big league catcher has 12 years as a Major League coach on his resume. He was part of the World Series champion Florida Marlins coaching staff in 1997.
"The advantage to doing it today, once I made up my mind, is that it gives the new manager a chance to get together with Jim (Hendry)," MacPhail said, hoping they would take advantage of the All-Star break. "Then they can hit the ground running."

A gutsy, versatile actress who starred in a wide variety of genres, Barbara Stanwyck used her striking good looks and undeniable talent to rise to stardom in the 1930s. By 1944, Stanwyck was a major star, the highest paid woman in the United States, and a favorite of directors like Frank Capra and Billy Wilder. Though her film career fell off in the 1950s and gave way to television soon after, Stanwyck had already earned her place as one of classic Hollywood's greatest stars.
1. 'Stella Dallas' – 1937
While she already had several box office hits under her belt, Barbara Stanwyck earned the first of four career Academy Award nominations for her leading performance in King Vidor's weepy melodrama. Stanwyck was the titular Stella, a rude, crude factory mill worker who marries a wealthy husband (John Boles), only to watch him move to New York as she stays behind, knowing that she will never fit into high society. It's only through her deepening friendship with an old boyfriend (Alan Hale) and growing maternal bond with her daughter that Stella learns the true meaning of sacrifice. Stanwyck was perfectly cast as the energetic Stella and elevated herself to an Oscar-caliber performer.
2. 'Union Pacific' – 1939
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, Union Pacific joined John Ford's Stagecoach from that same year to help revitalize a Western genre previously relegated to B-movie status. Set during the 1860s during the construction of the intercontinental railroad, the film saw Stanwyck top billed as Mollie Monahan, an Irish postmistress who becomes the object of desire of a railroad overseer (Joel McCrea) and his best friend (Robert Preston) from the war. While McCrea fights to see the railroad built, Preston works with a crooked gambler (Brian Donlevy) set on destroying the Union Pacific. While not her most memorable performance, Stanwyck maintained her presence as a box office star and paved the way for the most successful years of her career.
3. 'The Lady Eve' – 1941
A classic screwball comedy directed by the master Preston Sturges, The Lady Eve featured Stanwyck at her sultry best in this rapid-fire battle of the sexes. Stanwyck shined as Jean, the daughter of a con artist who targets woman-shy snake specialist Charles Pike (Henry Fonda) in a scam that takes the poor sap for $32,000 while aboard an ocean liner bound for new York City. In the course of using her feminine wiles to set up her mark, Jean actually falls for Charles, which has the effect of turning her against her father and his partner (Melville Cooper). As Charles spurns her genuine advances, Jean realizes that she needs to use her skills at deception to make him fall in love with her again. Stanwyck exuded sensuality as the sultry Jean, a precursor to the more venomous femme fatales she played later in her career.
4. 'Meet John Doe' – 1941
The first of two films where she starred opposite Gary Cooper, Meet John Doe featured Stanwyck as a reporter fired from her job whose swan song column is an imaginary John Doe letter declaring the fictional author's intention to jump off City Hall on Christmas Eve. Of course, the letter causes a public outcry that leads her paper to find a real down-and-out John Doe in order to stave off accusations that the letter was a fraud, leading to the discovery of an ex-ball player turned hobo (Cooper), who agrees to help with the deception. Added to the mix is Stanwyck's publisher, who wants to use Cooper to propel his ambitions toward the White House while turning him into a national hero preaching the Golden Rule. Directed independently by Frank Capra, Meet John Doe allowed Stanwyck to sink her teeth into a meatier role that might not have been created under the studio system.
5. 'Ball of Fire' – 1941
Reuniting with Cooper, Stanwyck earned her second of four Academy Award nominations for her performance in Howard Hawks' adult rendering of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Stanwyck played a striptease artist who finds herself hiding from her gangster boyfriend (Dana Andrews) in the home of a bookish professor (Cooper), the youngest of eight professors working together on an encyclopedia. As he helps keep her safe and eventually falls in love, she helps open their hearts while also rediscovering her inherent decency. A broadly comic farce featuring exceptional performances throughout, Ball of Fire allowed a luminescent Stanwyck to deliver one of the finest performances of her career.
6. 'Double Indemnity' – 1944
An classic film noir that set the precedent for all others to follow, Double Indemnity sizzled with sexuality as Stanwyck practically melted celluloid with her performance. Directed by Billy Wilder, the film starred Fred MacMurray as Walter Neff a gullible insurance salesman who becomes infatuated with Stanwyck's Phyllis Dietrichson, the wife (Stanwyck) of one of his clients. After a double-entendre filled first meeting, Neff falls prey to desire and helps Phyllis murder her husband while making it look like an accident in order for the insurance company to pay double. While the murder goes as plan, both find their passions cooled leading one suspecting the other's motivations. Of course, the situation ends badly for both as Neff and Phyllis lead each other to their eventual downfalls. Cynical and unrelenting, Double Indemnity thrives on the exceptional chemistry between the two leads and Stanwyck went on to earn a third Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Though she continued to perform for many years after, Double Indemnity was without a doubt the high point of her career.

Charlotte Co.,VA - A hundred loud big rigs rolled through Charlotte County on Saturday, but residents there didn't mind. The trucks paraded though the county to raise money for cancer research.
Trucks from all over state, and as far as Florida lined up, and drivers loaded up to parade against cancer.
"I feel like a king honestly, but I know deep down in my heart I'm helping someone," said Sammy Hatcher, a driver in the trucker parade.
Each truck carries the names of a cancer survivor, those who lost their lives to the disease , and those still battling it.
"We want them to know they're not alone in their fight," said Sheila Jones, organizer of the ''Trucker's Parade Against Cancer'.
It's a fight organizer Jones knows all too well. She started the 'Trucker's Parade Against Cancer' in her honor of her mother who died from the disease. She's amazed 10 years later 100 truckers are participating, the most in the parade's history.
"It shows people how widespread this disease is," said Jones.
Honking, and cheering along the way, the trucks will travel 40 miles through Charlotte County.
And, for spectators watching the trucks go by seeing the names on the trucks it's a humble reminder of the lives lost and the fight to find a cure."
"My grandmother's Gene Rutledge her name is on truck, this is the tenth year we've had her name on the truck. She had ovarian cancer," said Shannon Rutledge.
It's a sinking feeling for her and the many other family members watching their loved ones memory honored on these trucks , but moving to know it's helping to raise money for a cure.
All of the money raised will go to the American Cancer Society. And, if they reach there goal of $40,000 this year, the Trucker's parade will have raised over $344,000 for the American Cancer Society in past ten years.


text: Since it was a big departure in sound from their first four albums most consider Black Sabbath's fifth disc the one that most divides critics and fans. Some think that the newly discovered keyboards (by Rick Wakeman, a member of the band Yes) and orchestral arrangements made "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" too artsy and soft. But others (like me) think that, while this album may be "more progressive" than usual, it is also their most creative effort to date. And, of course, like all Black Sabbath albums, the guitars are still very much involved. "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" does not skimp on the type of sludgy, rumbling riffs that Tony Iommi made Black Sabbath famous for. The catchy, churning main riff of the first track (the title song) helped to break the band out of the creative "dry spell" they were in, following the recording of their last release, "Vol. 4″ (after Iommi discovered this guitar lick, the rest of the songs came easily.) This song also has a couple of acoustic breakdowns. Next, "A National Acrobat" has shimmering, wah-wah guitars, and "Fluff" is an instrumental. It's an interlude-type song, with serene, twinkling, acoustic jangles and cool, pretty piano keys. The synthesizers are most clearly evident on tracks four and six, "Sabbra Cadabra" and "Who Are You?" (the latter track, which has a melodic string arrangement, is very spacey–it sounds like it's the soundtrack to a laser or light show.) But "Killing Yourself To Live" is heavier and more up-tempo, as is "Looking For Today," which features a catchy, rhythmic hand-clap pattern. Lastly, "Spiral Architect" is where the orchestra joins the scene. Its lively, almost uplifting violins contrast Iommi's guitar solos well. So, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is a true gem which proves Black Sabbath were successfully able to expand on their sound and add creative touches to their music, while still remaining true to their roots. The sound quality can be a little dated at times, but this is yet another classic in Sabbath's catalogue.
