The Green Bay Packers have two more picks on Friday, and once again they are both at the end of their respective rounds. Hopefully the Vikings don't draft another quarterback (unless they really want to), and the Bears don't draft another Badger. The Lions preference to draft only wide receivers is so last decade. Now they only draft defensive lineman.
Free agency is going to play a part in shaping their roster, so the Packers don't absolutely need to draft any particular position. But the big two spots that could use depth are outside linebacker and defensive end.

Looking at this rumor:
What's the opinion on:
Rudy, Trout, Blake, Bayless + draft pics for Rondo and Allen.
I'm not sure if the salaries match enough to fit our cap-space, we might have to sign and trade Frye also to make things work. We take on a huge contract for 2 years but get veteran support at the wing. We also get our point guard of the future. Sure we're losing talent and flexibility but we're getting the PG we need and a short-term replacement for Rudy.
I think this is a trade we do in a heartbeat. I'm would even do this trade with Batum instead of Trout.(although it will take more work to get the salaries to match).

Robert Scambia knows his food. He owns R&C Italian Bakery and Deli in Clermont, and ever since 9-11, he's been serving dinner to firefighters throughout the state every single week.
Wednesday night, we caught up with Scambia at Orange County Fire Rescue House #42 in Pine Hills in Orlando.
"I can come here and cook and that's all I can give them: food. They go out there and they save our lives," Scambia says.
He hails from the Bronx, but has lived and served up food in Central Florida for more than a decade. On September 11, 2001, he lost a close friend in the World Trade Center.
Thinking of people that died in the towers, he says with tears in his eyes, "You know, a lot of the firefighters you become close to when you cook for them and you say, 'OK, we'll see you next time.' But you don't know. Life is funny."
Firefighter Lt. Garrett Wienckowski knows that all too well.
"Firefighting is a brotherhook," Wienckowski says. "You take care of one firefighter, it's like you're taking care of everybody. We're all family, and he's [Robert] part of our family here."
The dinner is also to honor Lt. Gary Spahn. He's retiring after almost 31 years of service.
Spahn says this about having Robert cook one of his last dinners here, "It's very much appreciated, but it's kind of uncomfortable in some ways." Spahn adds that he would rather remain "behind the scenes."
And that's exactly why Scambia will continue to do this every week for every firefighter around the state, in honor of all those who serve. He said he also plans to publish a cookbook with 343 recipes, one for each firefighter who perished in the World Trade Center. All proceeds will go to firefighters or for life-saving equipment, he adds.

A former janitor accused of hiding in a ceiling and spying on children and adults at a Williamson County school was in court for an arraignment Monday.
Victor Alvarado was a janitor at Scales Elementary School. He faces six charges of observation without consent after he allegedly hid in a crawl space above a bathroom.
Under Tennessee law, watching someone without their permission is only a misdemeanor, but some state lawmakers are trying to change that.
"I believe there's some legislation that's been sponsored by some of the local lawmakers that would increase the penalty if the person you're watching is under the age of 13. But, as it stands right now, the only charge we could go forward on for his alleged actions was based on a misdemeanor," said Kim Helper, district attorney general for the 21st Judicial District.
In a statement, Williamson County Schools Director Mike Looney said Monday it's his understanding the bill is advancing in the Legislature.
Alvarado faces up to a year in prison on each charge.
He's due back in court next month.
He was fired from his job after his arrest.

Taking a holiday is something most of us have become so accustomed to doing, that few of us examine the Scriptures to find out what God has to say on the matter. Most of us would presumably accept that a holiday spent in the nightclubs of Kavos, Magalluf or Ibiza is not one that Christians ought to be considering. But whilst it's relatively easy to see at least some things that we ought not be doing, let's be more positive. What's the best way that we can spend a holiday?
The Short, Giving Holiday
In most English Bibles the word 'holiday' only in the book of Esther (8:17, 9:19 and 9:22). Holiday here is a translation of the Hebrew ywm ṭwb, which literally means "good day" (hence the NIV a "day of joy"). The Bible tells us that Mordecai wrote to the Jews, encouraging them "to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor". So maybe that's one type of holiday – and for many of us, Christmas Day will unknowingly follow this pattern of a day of joy. It will be a day when we remember the incredible way that the Lord rescued us, and we celebrate that with feasting and joy and the giving of presents to one another. Many will also invite others into their home, or donate gifts to charity at Christmas time.
The Family Holiday to Worship God
It wasn't just the festival of Purim that the Israelites celebrated. The Old Testament is full of festivals (see Leviticus 23 for a partial list). They were a time when God was worshipped and his goodness remembered. They were focussed either on a specific occasion where God had rescued them (e.g. Passover), or on reminders of God's continuing goodness (e.g. a harvest).
There were many ingredients to an Israelite festival. The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery lists the six important ones: a break from work, lavish abundance, ritual and sacrifice, community, holiday spirit, and a focus on God. These factors make the Old Testament feasts a very helpful model for Christian holidays, particularly when you remember that the Jews frequently had to travel long distances to participate, and that at least one feast (of Tabernacles) involved camping out for a week!
Participation in the festivals always took place in a group setting, usually centred around families. But families were not to celebrate in any isolated way, but were to celebrate together, even if this meant a long journey. When Joseph and Mary celebrated Passover when Jesus was twelve years old, they travelled there with so many of the family and friends it took them a whole day to realise that Jesus was no longer with them (Luke 2:41-52). That's exactly the pattern set in Exodus 12, where God tells the Israelites to eat the Passover meal with their family, and "if any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbour". Clearly the Bible wants us to share our holidays with others, not simply withdraw ourselves.
So do these festivals help us to understand how Christian should enjoy a holiday? Clearly, in the New Testament context, a lot has changed. But we ought to be able to take the biblical principles from the Old Testament. Of the six ingredients to an Israelite festival, four are largely unchanged by the transition to the New Testament (a break from work, community, holiday spirit and a focus on God). But the two others do change, if subtly (lavish abundance and ritual and sacrifice). Clearly, sacrifice and ritual are replaced with dependence on Jesus and freedom in Christ. Lavish abundance is also changed significantly, as the New Testament teaches us that the material blessings in the Old Testament were pointers to spiritual blessings in the new ("He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty"). The New Testament equivalent of "lavish abundance" therefore is an abundance of spiritual food and the presence of Christ.
The 'Christian' Holiday
If the Old Testament festivals do serve as a model for Christian holidays then our holidays ought to be times when we break from work, gather together with our families and God's people, and focus on God's daily provision and redemption, with an expectation of receiving abundant blessings from Christ.
Sadly, the temptation today is that we model our holidays on the exact opposite. Rather than gathering together, a holiday is a time to "get away". Rather than focussing on God, we use our holidays to release ourselves from Christian obligations, and spend less time worshipping God on holiday than we do when we're at home. And rather than focussing on spiritual blessings, we spend our time seeking enjoyment in the best that the world has to offer.
But unless we're sure that the principles behind the Old Testament festivals have no part in the New Testament, surely Christian conferences and holidays should still have a significant part to play in our lives. They may be organised by your church, a local group of churches, or draw Christians from a range of Churches (such as the EMW's Aberystwyth Conference, the Carey Family Conference, or New Word Alive). But what a wonderful opportunity to have a holiday full of spiritual blessing!
Even if we don't go to a Christian conference, we can at least ensure we worship in a local church both on a Sunday and midweek. My wife and I have been amazed to visit churches where we know no-one, yet have enjoyed rich teaching, met many godly Christians and even frequently been invited to wonderful Sunday lunches – a real blessing if you're self-catering!
A Busman's holiday
A few years ago I was at a meeting for over a hundred volunteers who were going to be serving on EMW camps later that year. During a sermon, the preacher said that he had spoken to one family who weren't going to go to camp that year, because they were going to Disney World instead. Without any trace of irony, he responded, "Disney World?! Disney World?! How can Disney World be better than Bala? There's nowhere I'd rather be!". He was absolutely right. Acts 20:35 reminds us that it is more blessed to give than to receive. So if it's a blessing to receive at Christian conferences and festivals, how much more of a blessing to serve at one. Conferences are always in need of stewards, children's workers, even administrative help. Camps are in need of cooks, officers and others. Beach Missions need team members of all sorts. There is no disguising that all are incredibly hard work, but all can be a time of wonderful spiritual refreshment. Why miss out on that opportunity?
What about rest?
If you're anything like me, one of the reasons you go on holiday is to rest. You may be thinking that the holidays I've been describing don't sound very restful. But I'm sure like me you've come back from apparently restful holidays feeling more tired than when you were at the beginning of the week! It is important that we do rest properly. But we must never forget that the human being is body and soul. If we rest our bodies whilst starving our souls, we will never feel rested. It is true that some Christians experience 'burn-out' through overwork. But usually the answer to burn-out is not a long holiday, but proper use of the weekly rest – the one day in seven which God has given us. Abusing that weekly gift, then over-compensating through long lazy holidays is not honouring to God.
With the daily pressures that most of us face, we simply wouldn't have the energy to spend every week of every holiday in Christian service. If we tried, we'd probably end up nervous wrecks, or at least biting everyone's heads off rather than exhibiting Christian grace! As everything else in life, Scripture calls us to exercise spiritual wisdom. So when booking your next holiday, rather than poring over the glossy brochures, or searching the web, why not spend the time reading the scriptures and praying: "Lord, what would you have me do?".
What about tourism?
So far we've said nothing at all about tourism. What about the sites and attractions, museums and castles that many of us visit whilst we're on holiday? Truthfully, I struggled to think of any reference in Scripture to activities like these. The best I could manage was 1 Kings 10 where the Queen of Sheba visits Jerusalem to see the temple and riches of the city, and Acts 17 Paul walks around Athens looking carefully at objects of worship.
Scripture's silence on tourism doesn't automatically make it wrong. But it does mean that we should tread carefully and look to learn from other biblical principles. One lesson is that both the Queen of Sheba and Paul were God-centred in their 'tourism'. Psalm 48:12-14 (ESV) captures this wonderfully: "Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers, consider well her ramparts, through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation that this is God, our God forever and ever."
Many people visit places mentioned in the Bible and find that it brings to life lessons found in Scripture. Those on a tighter budget visit the British Museum (free entrance!) with one of several travel guides for the Christian published by Day One. Still others find a variety of places help them to reflect on God and on humanity in useful ways. The Imperial War Museum is a reminder of both the glory of man and the tragedy of the fall. The Louvre may you better understand both the human mind and the creativity of the Creator and those made in His image. A visit to Snowdonia may open your eyes once more to the glory of the creation. These 'lessons' are not just for adults, but children can also benefit from them, and from other attractions more aimed at their age. Wise parents will find ways of turning many situations into gospel lessons – even in an adventure park or swimming pool!
Whatever we choose to do on holiday, it should be God-centred. If you have three holidays a year, why not make one of them a visit to a Christian festival, another a week of service, and the third a God-centred trip to somewhere that will help you to think about and speak about God? Each one can be a time of spiritual and physical rest, where your family and the family of God are honoured and valued, and where your love for God and His people grows even stronger.

UFC 101's undercard previews continue with a Welterweight tilt between MMA prodigy Tamdan "The Barncat" McCrory, who is still only 22 years old and 3 years into his carrer, and newer UFC fighter John "Doomsday" Howard. This should be a solid match-up that pits McCrory's lengthy frame combined with decent striking and ground tactics versus Howard's knockout power and submission abilities. This fight may produce a bonus for the winner.
Tamdan McCrory(11-2) made his UFC debut back in June of 2007 against TUF Season 4 alum Pete Spratt. From that point forward, McCrory has gone 3-2 with wins over Luke Cummo at UFC 87, and in his most recent performance against Ryan Madigan at UFC 96. Due to McCrory's huge 6'4" frame, there has been some talk about "The Barncat" moving to the UFC's Middleweight division after some rumors surfaced that McCrory may actually be in the middle of another spurt in growth. For now, he'll be sticking to the UFC's Welterweight division, but I could definitely see some advantages to gain a little more muscle to his lengthy height.
McCrory's rise to the UFC is fairly impressive, and it's much like the story of Jon Jones. He only began training heavily in MMA in 2006, although he was a New York National Team Cadet in Greco-Roman wrestling back in '02. With a background in wrestling, McCrory made the transition to MMA via a discussion with CNY MMA gym's Erik Charles over MySpace.com. From that point forward, McCrory went on an absolute tear.
Winning 6 fights from June 2006 to the end of 2006, McCrory crushed the competition in the regional promotions of the New Jersey and Massachusetts' areas. He ran his record up to a perfect 9-0 by June 2007, only one year after fighting his first professional MMA bout. He also had his first UFC fight against Pete Spratt at the same time. In his tenth appearance, he lost a battle via a slick armbar transition to Japanese entertainer/MMA fighter Akihiro Gono at UFC 78, but rebounded with a win over fellow New Yorker Luke Cummo at UFC 87. His UFC 97 match-up with Dustin Hazelett didn't bode well as Hazelett's jiu-jitsu mesmerized the crowd and McCrory. A win over former WCL kickboxer Ryan Madigan at UFC 97 brings us to UFC 101.
John Howard(11-4) will make his second appearance in the UFC against McCrory on Saturday night. He upset Chris Wilson via split decision at UFC 94, which was impressive due to Wilson's solid striking. Some of the notable losses on his record have come from some UFC talent in Dan Miller and Nick Catone, but I'd definitely recommend fans watch the Miller-Howard fight before passing judgment.
Howard's background consists of wrestling, Muay Thai, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Early in his career, his jiu-jitsu was an active part of his game as he won 6 of his 9 fights via submission. After back-to-back losses, he managed to knockout Jose Rodriguezat ROC 18 and TKO Nick Calandrino at an IFL event in May of 2008. Ring of Combat booked him his toughest match-up against up-and-comer Charlie Brenneman, winner of season 1 of Pros vs. Joes and very promising wrestler turned MMA fighter. Howard passed the test with flying colors taking an unanimous decision victory and gaining the eyes of the UFC to fight at the beginning of 2009.
On paper, this fight has the making of potentially bringing fight of the night honors. McCrory's immense reach is a huge factor, but he also has decent striking coupled with a solid ground game. His lengthy limbs are a major factor on the floor, and controlling Howard's ground tactics could prove to be the key to winning.
The big problem is that Howard's power in the stand-up game has continued to improve. His Muay Thai and boxing skills have turned him into a fighter that was primarily known as a ground fighter to a guy who can do it all. He's also a guy who walks around fairly heavy, so he may come into the fight at around 185 to 190 pounds. There is certainly a lot of hype surrounding the Boston-native. It should be very interesting to see how he intends to handle McCrory's huge length.
According to the oddsmakers, McCrory is the favorite here. It's definitely a tough prospect to imagine Howard moving through McCrory's reach, but if he happens to get inside -- It could be lights out for McCrory. With a Howard win, I'm hoping a Dan Miller rematch happens. If you haven't seen the fight, Miller edged Howard, but had to leave on a stretcher. With a McCrory win, I'm hoping he can take on some better competition once again and breakthrough. His length is certainly a problem for everyone in the division, and he seems to be improving at a substantial rate.

CLINTON, MS (WLBT) - It's crunch time for contestants in Clinton's version of "The Biggest Loser." There are only a few weeks left in the weight loss competition. And contestants were feeling the burn Thursday morning at their weekly boot camp.
"It's been a harder week than usual, but it's going really well. I'm excited about the whole thing," said Shauna Peacock, a competitor.
Peacock is one of 16 contestants working to lose the highest percentage of body weight in Clinton's"Arrow Meltdown." The winner receives a $3,500 prize package. But every participant said they feel like they've already won.
"I just feel so much better and I love being able to be more active and not feel so tired all the time and I just, honestly, I've kind of started to enjoy working out," said Shauna Peacock, a competitor.
Now in 3rd place, Charles Hill is one of the top contenders. He's shed over 30 pounds in nine weeks.
"I walked out of here the other day weighing a weight I hadn't weighed in 15 years. So it kind of inspires you to want to do more," said Hill.
And everyone involved said they'll continue living what they've learned in the program, even after it ends.
"My goal is to be fit at 40. That's when I'll be 40, next year. So, fit at 40, I'm giving myself a year to be where I need to be," said Peacock.
"When this program's over with and the camera's turned off, you've learned something that will continue to push you down the road. That's what I'm hoping will happen for me," said Hill.
The program is sponsored by the Clinton Public School District. The goal is for parents and teachers to model healthy behavior for students.
Don't forget to keep watching WLBT every Thursday for the latest on the contestant's progress. A winner will be announced April 24th.

For some reason, I've had this bee in my bonnet (and what a beautiful bonnet it is - periwinkle/teal camouflage print) for some time now. With injuries seeming to plague our Texans since the intial pick of expansion draft (ugh), we've always seemed forced to play our backups out of necessity rather than strategically. For the past couple years, all our games have been so close (and seemingly) meaningful that we had very little opportunity to put our second-stringers in during a live game of consequence.
To me, subbing as early and often as possible, seems like a sound long-term strategy for 3 reasons:
1) Playing subs gets our elite play-makers off the field and hopefully out of harm's way, so they can live to fight more days and with less millage. (Provided they don't spend their time off the field doing stupid stunts and s&*t, this seems pretty obvious).
2) Seeing live-action seasons and keeps backups fresh, geared-up timing-wise, more engaged & focused during the games as well as back in practice. It has been my humble experience that, the more engaged and actively contributing your whole team is, the better. Of course, this investment could pay off in spades in the event any of your reserves becomes a starter by default later on.
3) By seeing real in-game action, those prospects we drafted with less polish but high-ceilings can progress much more rapidly (or worst case, give us valuable in-game performance information to help us value their skills, talent and development vs real competition in a real game situation).
All this stating of the obvious is supposed to frame the question: Under what circumstances should we actually play our reserves?
Yesterday, we had a 20 point lead and crappy field position with 15min. to go in our first game of the season. To me, although you risk losing momentum and a devestating comeback, do you make the same call as Kubes to hang with all your starters or do you rest your stars (especially those who have had injury concerns over the past couple years) and sprinkle some reserves into the game?
If 20 points up at-home in the opener isn't safe enough of a lead to sub for Schaub, Andre, OD & Foster,etc. what is? Only true-blue garbage time? Or is the upside of putting in subs simply never worth risking the W?
I am not saying Kubiak made the wrong decision. I think his decision under the circumstances was certainly justifiable, followed conventional wisdom and it did effectively secure the W. But in doing so, we did somewhat risk those guys and missed capitalizing on a chance to give meaningful reps to our bench players.
Please share your thoughts on Kube's decision, why (and go ahead and let us all know what your wearing, so we all can
fantasize visualize ;) ! (to be fair... I am wearing "business clothes" b/c I'm fixin to take care of some business!)
PS, we all have gotta start using "PS" and those ";)" things more in our BRB posts- they just never get old or too suggestive of the author's inner turmoil/questions or proclivities! (Damn, this post has gone south fast- OUT)

What is Emerging Space?
NASA's Emerging Space Office (ESO) was formed in recognition of the rising importance of private-sector individuals and organizations that invest their own time and money in space activities. This emerging space community is increasingly a major force in American space developments.
Members of the emerging space community include commercial companies looking to develop new markets in space, private groups and societies dedicated to furthering new initiatives in space, and individual Americans - from billionaire entrepreneurs to garage-inventors - who share in the dream of opening up the space frontier to all.
NASA's Emerging Space Office (ESO) monitors and provides analytical support to the Office of the Chief Technologist on the state of this rapidly growing sector to assist in NASA's legislated responsibility to "seek and encourage, to the maximum extent possible, the fullest commercial use of space."
The Emerging Space Office:
- Monitors, investigates and reports on opportunities enabled by the rapidly growing national and international entrepreneurial space communities.
- Examines competitive stresses, potentials for public benefit, and issues affecting NASA or the nation in the commercial space arena.
- Supports stimulatory partnerships that can encourage early-stage companies and promising entrepreneurs.
- Publishes reports to inform NASA and the public on important topics relevant to the emerging space ecosystem. These reports, and other ESO products, can be found on this website.
ESO Reports
2012 Highlights
In its first year of operation, the Emerging Space Office supported the Space Frontier Foundation's 2012 Business Plan Competition by providing $110,000 in prize money. This competition was unique in the United States in that it targeted space endeavors from independent companies in the seed, start-up or early growth stages and simulated the real-world process of entrepreneurs soliciting start-up funds from investors and venture capital firms. Competitors were required to demonstrate an ability to contribute to the economic development of space with groundbreaking technologies that were either space-focused or space-scalable. In addition to receiving critical feedback from space industry experts and investors, finalists participated in a 'Boot Camp,' receiving expert training in promoting and developing their business plans. The winner of the competition, Space Ground Amalgam, is developing inflatable satellite reflector components to meet and increase higher industry bandwidth demands, while reducing launch costs and increasing design flexibility.

Baltimore continues to be one of the busiest teams on the first day of free agency. The Ravens signed cornerback Domonique Foxworth to a four-year, $28 million deal that includes $16.5 million guaranteed.
Falcons free-agent linebacker Michael Boley was at the Phoenix airport Friday, preparing to fly to New York for a visit with the Giants. Boley would be an ideal Giants linebacker and the fact they're brining him in the first day indicates New York is serious about signing him.
Boley, who will visit with the Giants Friday night and Saturday, was an emerging star and potential Pro Bowler during the 2007 season with the Falcons. However, he fell out of favor late last season in new coach Mike Smith's scheme and was used primarily as a coverage linebacker over the final few games.
Boley started most of his career at strongside linebacker, but the rangy 238-pounder could best be suited to play weakside linebacker. Boley is considered one of the top outside linebacker prospects in free agency

Apparently, Vladimir Tarasenko was playing last night with a rib injury. No word on how serious, but it wasn't serious enough to keep him out of the gold-medal game.
One Russian goal, then two, in a 13-second flash, and the ice began to give way. Russian captain Vladimir Tarasenko, playing with a rib injury, tied the score less than five minutes later. Canada looked frozen, panicked, lost. Russia was flying, and looked like men. A fourth goal came, and then a fifth, a weaving beauty from Nikita Dvurechenski, sealed the tomb.
It was grit, guts, heart, all those adjectives that Canadians sometimes believe to be their own exclusive property. Tarasenko's ribs were so bad that Russian coach Valeri Bragin ordered him back to the locker room, and Tarasenko refused to go. As Russian goaltender Igor Bobkov recounted, "Vladimir Tarasenko, our captain, he has injury, and the coach said 'Don't go' in the first period, and he said, 'No, I'm going.' And he scored the third goal. It's the best captain in my life."

Physical Properties
In general, mischmetal is soft and brittle. However, because rare earths readily oxidize and absorb hydrogen and nitrogen, it is extremely difficult to produce a thoroughly pure sample of mischmetal in order to test it for mechanical and electrical properties. According to Jiangxi Xinji Metals, a leading Chinese manufacturer of mischmetal, even rare earth metals offered to 99.99999% commercial purity may only contain 99.99% rare earth metal in the delivered condition, with up to 10,000 parts per million oxygen impurities in the alloy.
These impurities create lattice defects and microstructural inclusions that negatively impact strength, toughness, ductility and conductivity properties. As a result, no significant and reliable physical property data on the various commercial mischmetals is published by industry or in research literature.
Mischmetal was originally called Auer's metal, after Carl Auer von Welsbach who created the alloy from remnant material from his experiments in creating the thorium-powered light-mantle in 1885. His thorium source was monazite sand, of which some 90-95% was composed of other rare earth metals. None of these at the time had commercial value.
By 1903, von Welsbach had optimized the fusion electrolysis procedure to produce a void-free cerium alloy with approximately 30% iron. The iron addition added significant hardness to the cerium, which is a pyrophoric rare earth. He had created Auermetall, now known as ferrocerium, which is the basic material used for flints in fire starters and lighters.
From this discovery, von Welsbach realized that he could separate the various rare earths from a given ore using electrolytic processes. By carefully using the different solubility properties of the various rare earths to his advantage, he could isolate them from their naturally occuring chloride forms. This was the beginning of the rare earth metals industry -- now the various pure elements could be evaluated and used for new commercial applications.
Mischmetal in the Marketplace and Industry
Mischmetal is not traded as a commodity on major exchanges, but is consumed through multiple channels of industry. China is the largest producer in the world, and Molycorp in California sits on the only other known commercially viable bastanite mine in the world, from which mischmetal can be obtained. The alloy is used in the production of all pure rare earth metals and many rare earth alloys.
It is also directly consumed in industrial applications:
- As an oxygen getterer in vacuum tube manufacturing.
- In batteries relying on metal hydride technology.
- As a spark source to start fires and flames, as well as in movie special effects.
- By steel and non-ferrous metals manufacturers to improve castability and mechanical properties in certain alloys.

Other than the super obvious ones like Tebow has to play good, we have to establish the run game and so on.
1. Eddie Royal needs to make plays.
Unless were getting blown out we will probably only pass between 12-16 times. I doubt we can get away with only 8 attempts against the Jets. Revis is a shut down corner, you can't deny that so Decker will be fighting all day to get open and will probably be smothered most of the game. Royal is gonna have to break free and pick up some first downs.
2. Goodman/Wilhite/Harris have to stop Plaxico Burress.
Much like Revis is going to make life really hard for Eric Decker, Champ Bailey is going to make Thursday night zero fun for Santonio Holmes. I expect Sanchez to look Burress' way a lot on Thursday night and if those three guys can't combine to limit Burress' productivity than he could have a game like he had against the Chargers where he scored 3 touchdowns because Quentin Jammer was frustrating Holmes.
3. Special teams has to contain Joe McKnight on kickoffs.
Part of the Jets success this year is the short fields they have been starting on thanks to Joe McKnight. The guy is averaging 36.0 yards on each kick return this year, letting the Jets start out on their own 40ish yard line. He also has one kick return for a touchdown this year. I'm actually thanking the NFL right now for pushing the kickoffs up a little bit, because I think with Praters leg and that sweet sweet Denver air we can make the Jets start on the 20 for most, if not all of the night. That's a 20 yard difference, so yeah it's important.
4. Prater needs to return to form.
Speaking of Prater, what the heck happened bud? I assume this will be a close game and were probably going to have to rely on this guy to make a few kicks and if hes as inconsistent as he has been this year than it could be bad news for the home team. 9/14 isn't all that bad...well I mean it is but the troubling part is he's 1/5 between 40-49 yards. Those are the money balls baby! and you have to have them. It would also help if an opponent would miss a kick every once and awhile, opponents are a perfect 18/18 on field goals against us. Tough break.
5. Robert Ayers vs. Wayne Hunter.
Dumervil is going to have his hands full all day going against D'brickashaw Ferguson. It should be a good match up to watch though. Anyway Robert Ayers has been solid versus the run this year but on Thursday he's going to have to get to Sanchez a couple times and sack him or hurry his throws. Hunter has been bothered by a finger injury so if he has his fingers taped up, Ayers should be able to partially keep him from getting inside his pads. I predict a big night for Ayers, and we will need it.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Lovely if ramshackle place. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and frequently made pancakes for breakfast. Facilities were a bit lacking and run-down, though, and the breakfast table not nearly large enough. Good location in the middle of the city; some street noise in our room (which was overlooking Viru), but actually surprisingly little.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Pretty basic service overall but room was ok and location is great after you find the place from a small alley.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Great location, clean and very friendly staf. I would higly recomend this place.

Random Notes on the Role of the Modern Woman
A confusing scenario; a messy state of affairs – women are supposed to be well-bred, educated and enlightened but at the same time their individual choices and career preferences have to be compromised in the face of pushy social norms. While men have always required women to work side-by-side with them – be it in farmlands, or orchards, or managing entire households and the finances while the men were at war or away on voyage – it is the modern trend of equal financial contributors that has added to the role of the women. In most families today, the burden of loans, lifestyle and spiraling expenses is forcing reliance on double-income and when this trend started more than a decade back, there emerged the concept of DINK – Double Income No Kids. But as women developed work-family life balance, social and familial demands on compliance to traditional child bearing and rearing roles were reasserted. Continue reading

One year of the "weld-lock"
Sharing your time and space with someone is not an easy job, and after the first cup of coffee, you are supposed to take on the kitchen chores, single-handedly. Unless, you finally become hard-hearted enough to break the gender-mould and get the hubby to learn some basic chores. The first year is the best time when you can play on the newfound love, and find ways and means to train him to be handy around the kitchen, instead of reviving his romance with the television, after you both have had a long and hard day at work. Yes, you need to find little ways out of that lethargy, and also to make the hubby more useful, within the first year, else it may be too late to make him change! Remember, the love will cool down, the romance fizzle, but the chores that he learns in the first year will remain lifelong.

One man will dance to win justice for his people in this offbeat satiric comedy from directors [[Performer~P660845~Jason Trost~jasontrost]] and [[Performer~P432189~Brandon Trost~brandontrost]]. Frazier Park is a tough town dominated by street gangs who recognize only one way of settling their differences -- Beat Beat Revelation, a video game that puts a player's dance skills to the test. BTRO ([[Performer~P594739~Brandon Barrera~brandonbarrera]]) is a longtime BBR champion who is challenged to prove his skills by the unscrupulous L Dubba E ([[Performer~P685616~Lee Valmassy~leevalmassy]]). L Dubba E doesn't believe in fair play, so much so that he doesn't just win the match, he leaves BTRO dead on the ground. This is more than BTRO's brother JTRO ([[Performer~P660845~Jason Trost~jasontrost]]) can stand, and he sets out to become the best BBR dancer in Frazier Park and avenge his brother's passing. Turning to BBR expert BLT ([[Performer~P465896~Nick Principe~nickprincipe]]) for help, JTRO trains as if his life depends on it -- and up against L Dubba E, that might just be the case. A broad but straight-faced satire of sports comedies of the 1980s, The FP received its world premiere at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hunter also swiped seven steals for GSU (8-6, 1-0 Sun Belt), which has won five straight games. Ryan Harrow was also outstanding, tallying 20 points and seven assists, and Curtis Washington put up 10 points.
For Troy (5-8, 0-1), Hunter Williams shot 6-of-9 from 3-point range on his way to 18 points. Kevin Thomas posted a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds but also committed seven turnovers, while Antonie Myers had 14 points and eight boards.
Troy shot 50 percent from the field in the first half, but GSU was even better at 55.2 percent. The Panthers also shot 3-of-8 from 3-point range and 9-of-10 from the foul line in the opening 20 minutes, as they carried a comfortable 44-31 advantage into the break.
GSU's lead never dipped below eight points in the second stanza.

Portrait Painting with Oils
Robert Burden
This course examines the history of Western portraiture through oil painting. Brief slide lectures and guest artist presentations will help students learn various techniques while fostering an understanding of their own place in the contemporary narrative. Assignments will include a self-portrait, a hybridization project, and live-model painting.
"The course—and Robert—has re-ignited the creative spirit in me that lay dormant for a long time, mainly because of fear of the unknown (materials, techniques, etc.). This course has equipped me with all the tools and techniques to get started on this exciting journey. Robert has provided me with the confidence—and the motivation—to keep building on these new skills." –Introduction to Oil Painting student, 2013

A Cornerback like Jerome Murphy may be thought of by some as not that high of a need, but he's an aggressive hardnosed, hard hitting player that brings a nasty attitude to your Rams defense.
He had an INT and Fumble Recovery in the International Bowl, so its nice to know he has the ability to show up in big games. I think we're going to love watching him crush people. You have to love the fact that he knows about the GSOT and vows to put on a show for us.
For those of you (us) that can't get enough of our new Rams, here's some other opinions, in hopefully a little easier to read format:
Scouts Inc take:
Overall Rank: 60 (actually drafted: 65)
Position rank: 7 (actually drafted: 8)
Cornerback Specific Traits
Fluidity: 3 - Can flip hips when forced to turn and run with receivers. Frequently dropped into zone coverage during film evaluation (see: 2008 North Carolina State and Kansas games). Footwork is inconsistent and can get spun around but appears athletic enough to develop functional man-to-man cover skills.
Closing Burst : 2 - Above-average closing speed and limits receivers' production after the catch, but not elite and gives receivers too much of a cushion at times. Allows too much separation at times and can be a step late getting to the ball. Adequate-to-good recovery speed.
Ball Skills: 3 - Times jumps well and can high-point the ball. Flashes the ability to snatch the ball out of the air but lacks elite hands and doesn't always field the ball cleanly. Tracks the ball well when it's in front of him but needs to do a better of getting his head around in time when asked to turn and run with receivers.
Instincts/Mental Toughness: 3 - Shows good awareness and reads routes well when dropping into zone coverage but gambles and gets caught out of position at times. Motor is a bit inconsistent but effort is excellent at times. Doesn't appear to back down from challenges or dwell on mistakes. Plays with an edge and can get his hands on receivers but doesn't deliver a violent punch and will have a difficult time re-routing receivers at the line of scrimmage. Sometimes over-commits to a receiver's first move and can get caught-off balance when asked to line up in press coverage.
Run Support: 3 - Could be more aggressive but fills hard when he reads run and is not afraid to throw his body around. Does a good of cutting the legs out from under bigger ball carriers but doesn't always wrap up. Takes too long to disengage from blocks at times.
NFL.com's take: Grade 7.7
Murphy was a productive two-year starter for the Bulls. He is a tall, lean secondary defender with deceptive strength. He is a tough hardnosed perimeter defender who lacks great quickness and speed to play out on an island in man coverages. Murphy is a physical corner who can jam and reroute receivers off the line of scrimmage and he's a solid run support defender. He is an instinctive player who leverages the ball well in coverage as well as maintaining proper body positioning defending the run. He can be inconsistent in block protection and wrapping up in the open field, but he is very aggressive for the cornerback position. Murphy is a good football player who has some limitations but should contribute as a rookie in a Cover 2 defensive scheme.
Strengths: Long with adequate bulk and fluid hips. Anticipates routes while dropping back in zone coverage and does a good job of tracking the play. Good leaper who high-points the ball. Fiery and aggressive defender who fills hard and likes to deliver shots.
Weakness: Average speed and lateral quickness limit his effectiveness in man coverage. Footwork is a little sloppy, and he sometimes gets spun around. Gives too much of a cushion and breaks on the ball a little late. Bit of a gambler who can get caught out of position. Does not always wrap when tackling.
The Sporting News's take: Overall Grade 7.7
The Rams get a good value here and also fill a huge need. Murphy is a smooth athlete whose fluid hips help him flow nicely all over the field in coverage. He can close on receivers in a blink.
Coverage skills 7.0: Is better man-to-man than in "off" coverage. Tends to gamble too often when off the ball, watching the quarterback instead of receiver. Gives up easy throws in front of him. Is physical in press coverage, and has quick feet and fluid hip movement. Can slide along the line of scrimmage with the receiver and still stay in the receiver's hip pocket. Struggles vs. big physical receivers. Must get stronger and tougher.
Run/pass recognition 7.5: Is quick to show up in the running game. Shows good football intelligence, and seems to understand his job. Plays with a lot of confidence and will take risks to try and make a play.
Closing speed 8.0: Is good in this area. Has good range and can get into a second gear to make a play. Has smooth acceleration and short-area burst. Sticks his foot in the ground and goes.
Ball skills 6.5: Tracks the ball well in the air. Has soft hands. Battles the ball at times and will get more breakups than interceptions. Baits the quarterback at times, only to lose his coverage responsibility.
Run support 6.0: Is more of a cut or drag-down tackler. Does not run away from tackles, but appears to hope teammates beat him to the ballcarrier.
Bottom line: Murphy is a smooth athlete with fluid hip movement. He has good speed and quickness, too. He is best when he can line up tight to the receiver off the line of scrimmage and play man-to-man. He is physical enough to reroute receivers and has very good flexibility to shuffle with receivers to prevent them from getting free releases.
He can turn and run to stay in tight downfield coverage with no wasted movements. He plays with confidence and can run the route for the receiver. He struggles against big, physical receivers, especially in contested situations, and must improve his strength and toughness. He sometimes gets greedy in zone coverage and will try to bait the quarterback, only to lose his coverage responsibility.
However, Murphy has a different gear with the ball in the air and has a natural feel for when to get his head around and make a play on the ball. He has good range and can get from one hash to the other to make a play on the ball. Overall, Murphy is a cover corner who plays with the attitude that he cannot be beaten. He has a swagger to his game, and with his size-to-speed ratio, he should be one of the top CBs drafted in 2010.

---- — SALEM — The crisis in the Salem public schools has sent ripples in many directions.
Inside the schools, there are a number of initiatives and new programs underway aimed at turning around an underperforming system.
On the outside, tomorrow's preliminary election to fill three seats on the School Committee has produced one of the largest and, it could be argued, strongest fields of candidates in a long time.
One of the challengers is a communications specialist (Rick Johnson); another heads the local charter school (Rachel Hunt); another worked at Mass Insight, a nonprofit focused on transforming public schools (Patrick Schultz); and still another is a parent activist (Katie Casiglia).
The three incumbents — Janet Crane, Lisa Lavoie and Brendan Walsh — all have experience on the board and doctoral degrees.
Perennial candidate Ken Sawicki is also on the ballot.
This interest in the School Committee couldn't come at a more opportune time.
The School Department is in the crucial Year 2 of a turnaround plan aimed at raising MCAS scores and making other improvements in a small urban system with many children who are poor or from homes where English is not spoken.
Salem, given low Level 4 status by the state two years ago, laid the foundation for its turnaround efforts last year, working with staff from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and teams of consultants.
This current year is a crucial one, officials say, when the programs and initiatives put in place are expected to start producing results, which will be measured by improved scores on the state MCAS exams.
Although Salem and other cities and town will get MCAS results in a few weeks, those are from tests taken last spring. The real measure, or beginning of that measure, will come a year from now, officials say, when the city sees the results from its 2014 MCAS tests.
"I think this is a big year for us because we have put enough of the pieces in place and we've invested a great deal of time and energy helping to build our capacity," said Superintendent Stephen Russell.
"So, as a result, I do think we're going to see more and more payoffs."
The three people elected to the School Committee this fall will play a big role in overseeing those turnaround efforts.
Tomorrow's preliminary election will pare the field of candidates from eight to six. Those six finalists will be on the ballot for the Nov. 5 final election, which will decide the three winners.

Receive the free Daily Bible Verse Blog everyday
Get inspiration and informative commentary by email each morning!
Did you know that the Bible is by far the best-selling and most popular book of all time? The second best-selling book is one containing the sayings of Mao Tse-tung, with approximately 900 million copies in print. But this is dwarfed by the fact that more than 6 billion copies of the Bible have been printed.
Yet the Bible remains a book that author Bruce Barton called The Book Nobody Knows. We have Bibles; we buy Bibles as gifts for people; we put them on display in our homes and on our shelves. But do we really know much about this amazing book?
Here are a few Bible facts that may surprise you:
Let's look at some of these Bible facts more closely.
There are seven major divisions in the Bible, three in the Old Testament and four in the New Testament. The 39 books of our Old Testament are divided into three sections: the Law, the Prophets and the Writings (Luke 24:44-45).
The New Testament contains 27 books in four major divisions: the Gospels and Acts, the Epistles of Paul, the General Epistles and Revelation. Seven is a significant number in the Bible, as it infers completion and perfection.
In the first century, the Scriptures comprising the Old Testament were often placed together on 22 separate scrolls. The famous Jewish historian Josephus writes: "For we [Jews] have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing and contradicting one another, but only 22 books, which contain the records of all past times; which are justly believed to be divine" (Flavius Josephus, Against Apion, Book I, Section VIII).
Many believe that this configuration was done to conform to the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. All that can be written in Hebrew can be done using 22 letters. To the Jewish mind of the time, everything that God had to say to them was written in 22 books. If we take the 22 books of the Old Testament and add to them the 27 books of the New Testament, then there would be a total of 49 books in the entire Bible, or 7 times 7, denoting again completion and perfection.
The 22 books in the Hebrew Bible correspond exactly to the 39 books we have in modern translations. The fewer number is a result of the way books were combined:
(Source: Gleason L. Archer, Jr., A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, 1974, pp. 67-68).
Not only are the total number of books different, but their order is different. Modern translations have Malachi as the last book in the Old Testament, while the last book of the Hebrew Old Testament is 2 Chronicles.
What makes this fascinating is that the last verse of the Bible according to the Hebrew Scriptures is actually a question about who would go up to build God's house in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 36:23). The answer is contained in Matthew 1:1, which is the first verse of the New Testament.
That is not a mere coincidence. It shows that there is continuity between the Old and New Testaments. The New Testament is the continuation of the inspired Word of God for us today.
The Bible is a fascinating book on many levels, but the most important of all Bible facts is its claim to be divinely inspired by God. Why not take that challenge and look into its contents and see for yourself whether it is just another book, albeit the world's best-selling one, or if it really was written by the God who created the universe and life itself.
If it is, then this book is certainly one we would want to study every day of our lives.
