|Topic Review (Newest First)
A titer's test would be a relatively easy way to check, though I'm still stubbornly on the fence. Our office is nonvax friendly, and the new nurse practitioner is nice, but like other practitioners, she's not used to people questioning the status quo, or the complete opposite. She's not used to the middle ground and is convinced a test would be low, therefore I should just vaccinate. She's essentially saying it's low immunity across the board that led to the booster being required, not having immunity for X % and missing others. She sounded so confident I asked her if she had any patients take the titers test here in the office (I thought that's what she meant) but she said "no". So, really, she doesn't know.
Thanks for the info on CP. I guess I'm not too worried about that.
Still deciding if I am worried about that 95% for measles. Thinking.
ETA: Leaning towards feeling like one is enough.
"One dose of varicella vaccine was 84.5% effective (median; range, 44%–100%) in preventing all varicella and 100% effective (mean and median) in preventing severe varicella."
I gotta admit - I eyeball roll at the 100%…but whatever, lol.
One dose would absolutely be enough for me where varicella is concerned.
I will also add that it seems 2 doses of varicella are given more to prevent outbreaks (it is a fairly contagious disease) rather than for indidivual protection. To quote the above article (and I have read this somewhere else as well):
"Although 1 dose of varicella vaccine has provided excellent protection, a higher degree of effectiveness is needed in order to interrupt transmission and to prevent outbreaks in settings with high contact rates."
If you are not comfortable with the 95% thing, and are determined to vaccinate if titres are low, then you should titre. Yes, it might mean an extra blood draw, but vaccines do have some side effects…why risk it if you do not have to? If you are concerned about sparing your children extra pokes (and I get that!…I also know they have a history of really disliking/fearing such things) you do not have to do the titre tests and vaccines back to back. there is not a huge amount of riskin waiting. I know other disagree - but the CDC stats do not point to great risks in waiting. You could titre, with the intention of vaccinating 6 months later, for example. I know I insist on spreading out unpleasant medical stuff (example: cavities) unless there is a huge risk to waiting - which there isn't with MMR or varicella.
Here's what would make me comfortable:
Information on who measles outbreaks affected. We had a pertussis outbreak recently here that affected fully vaxxed kids. So, even if we had been up-tp-date, it might not have had an impact on us. I would also feel comfortable with where we are if any information showed that "only" unvaxxed people were affected also.
What would make me uncomfortable is if people who were only partially vaxxed were affected far more than the fully up-to-date.
I'm not sure if we've had enough measles outbreaks to assess that?
I think it is pretty unlikely DD2, who has not been vaxxed for MMR (correct?) will shows titres to it as mealses, mumps and rubella are pretty rare, so I would just vax for it if you have decided she need MMR.
Likewise, I would not bother with a titre test for DD1, either, for MMR. She has had 1 shot - correct? One shot is supposed to "catch" 95% percent of the population. The math is on your side that she is one of the 95%.
For some reason, the 95% figure is not easing my concerns, though I'm not sure why. So, you feel that if I do any testing at all, possibly for CP at a later date. I'm wanting to address MMR before adolescence. It looks like the vax has slightly higher side effects for adolescent girls?
I still don't know what to do with this information, honestly.
I think it is pretty unlikely DD2, who has not been vaxxed for MMR (correct?) will shows titres to it as mealses, mumps and rubella are pretty rare, so I would just vax for it if you have decided she need MMR.

Chicken pox is different. Figure out how effective one shot of varicella is. It might be pretty high, in which case no titres or shot needed, IMHO.
Lots of people get chicken pox without even knowing it. (1/7, IIRC).
I would do titres on a child I was considerring a chicken pox vaccine for, if they were unvaxxed, never had the disease or if the effectiveness of one shot was low. I would not bother with a CP vaccine period, but putting on my more moderate hat - I would not bother with a CP vaccine until around 12 or so. It is pretty darn mild in the vast majority of school age children and immunity acquired from the wild virus is more likely to last well into adulthood than vaccine acquired immunity.
2 kids: another titers question
The quick question since this turned out to be a ramble:
Does it make any sense at all to vax both girls for MMR if the titers for my oldest turns out to be "low" (and not get titers for the youngest)?
Planning on a titers test for measles (and CP, since girls had one CP vax) for my oldest next month when we can get the vax if low immunity and have a "couch day" in case they she feels bad. Choosing that even though that would mean 2 needles.
I was thinking that if dd1's immunity is low and I choose to vax, that I should just vax dd2 as well. If the test is "high" I would wait until dd2 is 9 or at the "age of reason" where she can be convinced with words that she can handle this and not overwhelmed by memories and emotions.
DD2 has had mixed results with needles in the past. She did well for her dental work recently, but before that a vagal response to an antibiotic shot (could have been the Lidocaine in the shot) sent her to the ER, where she vomited getting a blood draw (testing for sepsis--a fast-moving skin infection started this-- vomiting could have been from the high heart rate/low pressure).
So I have mixed feelings about getting another blood draw for dd2 for titers at this point. I could power through and put on my Strong Mama face, but as much progress as both girls have made in regards to shots and other medical procedures in the last few years (dd1 has made huge progress-- went "under" to get 4 teeth pulled, had an orthodontist prodding around in her mouth without me in the room, submitted willingly to another scratch test--you get the idea) I still feel hesitant with a blood draw for dd2. Yes, I feel confident that dd1 will handle this and I feel comfortable being just a bit pushy on the issue. But not feeling so confident with dd2.
I don't know if I feel comfortable just vaxxing my older daughter, and not sure if dd2 is ready for a blood draw.

Are you looking for a natural cure for chapped or dry lips? "The natural way is the only way" was the mantra of Father of Medicine, Hippocrates (c.460-370 B.C.) when he offered advice for healthy living. In fact, since he was a big fan of treating the body both inside and out with olive oil, if bananas had been available in ancient Greece, he probably would have written my Lip Rejuvenation Formula:
Olive oil is an ancient natural beauty secret that is becoming an essential component of everyday skin care, including your lips. Use extra virgin olive oil alone to condition and protect lips from drying out or becoming chapped. Just dab it on your lips whenever they feel dry; use at night for extra conditioning.

Rosemont, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Lindsay Whalen scored 22 points and Seimone Augustus added 17 to help lead the Minnesota Lynx to a 75-72 win over the Chicago Sky.
Maya Moore chipped in with 14 points to keep the defending WNBA champions perfect during their first five games.
Elena Delle Donne and Jessica Breland each tallied 16 points, while Breland also added 15 rebounds for Chicago, which suffered its first loss of the season.
Trailing 75-72 in the closing seconds, Delle Donne heaved up a desperation 3- pointer that bounced off the backboard and front of the iron before falling off. Augustus grabbed the rebound to secure the win.
Minnesota took a 42-39 advantage into the break. Whalen's fadeaway jumper with 21.9 seconds left in the third made it 61-56 going into the fourth.
Delle Donne tied the game at 63-63 with a 3-pointer about midway through the fourth and her layup put the Sky up two with 5:03 left to play. The Lynx scored the next six points to take a 69-65 lead and didn't look back from there.

The staff of The Pewter Plank is ready for football. So ahead of the Buccaneers' Week 1 showdown with the New York Jets, we all came together to answer a few questions about the game. Here's what we had to say.
When the Buccaneers' offense takes to the field this weekend, all eyes will be on Josh Freeman. How do you believe he'll do in his first game after a tumultuous preseason?
Ken Boehlke: I see Freeman getting off to a bit of a rough start. It wouldn't surprise me to see him lead the team down the field for a score on the first drive, but in the first five, I don't think he'll have more than one really positive drive. However, he'll come into his own as the game goes on and statistically when all is said and done, he'll wind up with a pretty solid day. Multiple TD's and somewhere close if not over 300 yards.
Matt Tidcombe: I think Josh will be just fine. The pre season is called the pre season for a reason; it's just about getting reps. While it would have been nice to see Freeman hook up Jackson and Williams a few more times, it won't affect Sunday's game. We saw last season the chemistry Freeman has with his two main targets. He has played well in practice by all accounts so I'm not concerned by it, and think he will have a tidy, efficient game.
Luke Weber: I think Josh will do just fine. Hopefully, the Bucs will be able to get Doug Martin rolling early so it can take a load off of Josh Freeman's shoulders. If he can avoid the turnovers, I will be a happy man.
Michael Decker: I think Josh Freeman will be better this year. I had to gulp as I say that, because he has been plain awful this preseason. But I feel like the Bucs were doing a lot of testing of new offensive personnel and that this hurt Freeman a little bit. A couple of the new receivers have yet to find their rhythm, but I believe Freeman will start off well against the Jets team that is a real mess right now.
Ryan Terrana: I think his performance will be better than average. Nothing mind-blowing, but nothing terrible. I think around 250 yards and 2 TDs.
Leo Howell: I'd be lying if I said I was completely confident he'll do well, but part of that is due to the uncertainty on the offensive line. He needs time to throw to be effective against the Jets. If he gets that time, I think he'll have a solid day.

The new BJ's Wholesale Club in Bensonhurst will open its doors to shoppers for the first time this Saturday, September 13, Bensonhurst Bean has learned.
The big box retailer's latest location at 1752 Shore Parkway, near Ceasar's Bay, will be open for business beginning at 9am, but the grand opening celebrations are not slated until a week later, on Saturday, September 20. A representative for the company said they'll be partying that day with "lots of food" in the form of sample carts, as well as other festivities and a ribbon cutting with local elected officials.
BJ's was originally slated to open July 12. Construction delays, however, pushed it back to the September date.
The retailer will occupy the ground floor of a 200,000-square-foot space at 1752 Shore Parkway known as the Bay Center. The center will be two stories tall with commercial units above the BJs. The project is being developed by Thor Equities.
Construction kicked off in December 2012.
BJ's will be open 9am to 10pm, Monday to Saturday, and 9am to 8pm on Sundays.

Emergency Medicine is the medical specialty that focuses on the immediate decision making and action necessary to prevent death or further disability. The emergency physician provides immediate initial recognition, evaluation, care, and disposition of a generally undifferentiated population of patients in response to acute illness and injury. The care provided by the emergency physician is episodic in nature and involves a full spectrum of physical and behavioral conditions.

There are herds of caribou, healthy populations of bears and wolves, and some of the world's last wild undammed rivers and pristine lakes. Many of the birds either winter in the US or pass through during their spring and fall migrations.
Millions of dark-eyed juncos, white-throated sparrows and Swainson's thrushes are among the songbirds that raise their young in this now-protected region and that will soon be arriving in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Hunters have reason to be happy, too, since those forests also sustain huge numbers of waterfowl like American black ducks, common goldeneyes and buffleheads that grace US waters in the winter.
Placing half of Ontario's boreal forest off limits to development and industrial use helps to ensure that the carbon currently stored there stays put. And it protects the habitat of the abundant wildlife of the boreal forest. Moreover, by protecting large, unfragmented blocks of habitat, McGuinty may help to ensure the survival of still other species that are forced to move north to adapt to our warming planet.
In recent years, scientists have increasingly come to realize that the old benchmark of protecting 10 to 15 percent of an ecosystem is not enough. That level of protection cannot ensure that abundant wildlife, clean air and water, and a stable climate are maintained. Instead, scientists recommend a benchmark closer to 50 percent protection. McGuinty's bold announcement is one of the few instances where a government leader has met these recommended goals.
Politicians operate within the confines of public support. Without strong public interest in conservation, McGuinty would not have made this move. That's a good reminder for those who care about maintaining and protecting our natural resources to make our voices heard so that politicians, on both sides of the border, have the opportunity for bold, environmentally friendly leadership.

The one phase that is most often neglected in agile development is the retrospective, fulfilling the same role as lessons learned in other methodologies such as Prince2. Only paying lip service to the retrospective will have noticeable effect on the delivery of the project it is in this phase that misunderstandings are outlined and process that have not went well are addressed.
Some Project Managers focus on this in a very structured way moving from one defined stage to the next, I have over time come to believe that a structure is important to focus the meeting but a strict agenda has never really achieved the best results. What I want to outline are general principles that should be included in any retrospective, remembering that each section will naturally flow together and it is the PM job to bring them back to the necessary stage and maintain relevance and focus.
Lets look at what a retrospective should include:
Review of work completed in the last iteration
Critical to getting an overall understanding of how the project is going, depending on progress it becomes easy to highlight areas where their are issues or hopefully areas where the team (includes the Developers, Project Manager and Customer) are excelling. It is important that this phase is not about apportioning blame but at looking at the root cause of any issues so that they can be explored in more detail later.
This often highlights areas such as communication issues, over-commitment of work, resource gaps and other areas.
Outlining of personal issues and team issues
Continuing from the previous stage we would discuss any issues that have arisen in more depth, this phase also allows team members to voice concerns and issues, but in most cases to put forward ideas to improve the process. It helps to view these based on their impact and effect on two areas the individual and team.
It may be something as simple as a team member requires more information than they are being given or a team issue to do with the availability of resources. The main benefit of the separation is that it quickly outlines which problems require a localized or individual change and can be dealt with separately from the more global team issues.
Discussion on what worked well
A point ware people discuss the process and situations that worked well see if there is any way to adapt for this to become a embedded part of the process.
Agreement on what is to change
An agreement is made on what to implement from the point raised earlier in the retrospective. In most cases it is easy to reach a consensus on as the team by this stage understand the importance of the points raised. It is at this point that individual issuers are dealt with separately with the main focus being the changes that will most benefit the team collectively.
Plan for implementing changes
Finally a plan is put into place to allow the team to attempt to embedded these changes, this may be a long process or simple someone taking accountability for a individual element or new process.
Although this is a quick and high level outline of the basics of a Agile Retrospective it by no means is inclusive and is set to become the first of set of article dealing with retrospective and lessons learned.

Last weekend, my brother was visiting so I took him to Free Walking Tour Zurich, which is exactly what it sounds like. It was great! Even after living in Zurich for over nine years, I was delighted to find I still had a few things to learn about my adopted city. We really liked our tour guide Maria (with me in the above pic), who was very enthusiastic and had a fun story-telling style. The guides have different specialties and interests, so while the main information is the same, some of the details with differ.
Although the tour is not specifically designed for kids, I think the tour is a good option for families, not only because it's a good tour, but it's flexible. For the free tours, you don't have to book ahead, so you can decide minutes beforehand whether your kids are up for a tour or not. Since the tour is free (tips are appreciated, but not expected), it's not a big deal if your kids have a meltdown halfway through and you have to leave early.
The tour is full of fun, interesting facts about Zurich. For example, did you know that the Bahnhofstrasse used to be called Fröschengraben (ditch of frogs) because so many frogs lived in the water canal running down that street? I quickly put together a "quiz for kids" for the Downtown Zurich Tour, where kids can match the tour stop with a picture representing a story about that location. Maybe this will help you keep the kids interested. Remember to bring along some chocolate as a prize for your kids if they finish the quiz. You can see and print the quiz here.
They offer several tours, some free, some paid. I did the Downtown Zurich tour. The Architecture tour is the next one on my list. There is a Downtown Zurich tour almost everyday, more on the weekends. Check their website for details.
Now for a few pics of the tour...

Determinants of Mental Health Problems Among College Students
Date: December 2010
Creator: Mirbaha-Hashemi, Fariba
Description: Many college students have reported struggling with mental health problems while dealing with challenging demands of college. The initial theoretical framework for this research was Pearlin's stress process model (SPM). Building on the SPM, the three additional mediating variables of perceived control, meaninglessness, and financial worries were added to create a composite model for the research. Mental health outcomes in the model were measured by a comprehensive range of factors, which included: psychological distress, suicide, substance abuse, and anger. Data were collected from a non-probability convenience sample of 463 undergraduate students attending a large state supported university in the southwestern region of the United States. Among the social status variables measured, being married, female, and white were significant predictors of poor mental health in the sampled college students. Poor self-image, feeling of meaninglessness, and worrying about current and future finances were significant mediating variables. Poor mental health could make individuals overwhelmed and discouraged. This is a formula for failure in college. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the correlates of mental health problems among college students. A greater understanding means that families and college administrations will have better ideas about how to intervene to reduce ...

The Function of Social Structure in Controlling Violent Crime in Turkey
Date: December 2010
Creator: Guclu, Idris
Description: This dissertation examines the relationship between social structural factors and violent crime rates in Turkey. The relationship between social structural characteristics and violent crime is worth exploring in areas that have attracted little academic attention, such as violent crime in Turkey. In order to understand and prevent the occurrence of crime, researchers have long investigated possible factors related to crime. Examining how crime varies across different regions can help us to understand underlying reasons for violent crime, which is considered one of the enduring problems in society. The findings of this research, to some extent, support the assumptions of social disorganization theory regarding the distribution of violent crime. Both the findings of multivariate and bivariate analysis indicated that poverty, unemployment, and family disruptions may have a positive effect on the distribution of violent crime in the cities of Turkey. The analysis of the effects of the social structure variables through the mediating variables, such as religious institutions, libraries and voluntary associations on the number of violent crimes and violent criminals, to some extent, support the tenets of social disorganization theory. However, all mediating variables cannot mediate all the indirect effects of social structural covariates. In brief, none of their indirect ...

University students who live on campus are more engaged and develop better, a study has found.
Almost all those who took part would recommend it to other students, among findings of the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement.
Monash University last year established four non-residential colleges to enhance students' social and academic experience throughout their tertiary education, without the need to live on campus.
Caulfield campus hosts Pegasus and Phoenix colleges, while the Clayton campus hosts Centaurus and Orion colleges.
Non-residential colleges are about having a "different kind of experience" at university, says Olivia Clarke, Phoenix College's student adviser.
"Advisers work in organising the members who are in their group (called clusters) and we get to work, bring the students together and basically form relationships with them.
"Also, all the advisers are a great support network for each other."
A non-residential college functions like a club where students can meet new people, take part in sporting activities and attend social events.
Each college will have about 250 members, 20 college advisers (all senior students) and three members of academic staff.
"I've done and experienced a lot of things that I wouldn't have without being in [a non-residential college]", Ms Clarke says.
"Being a part of something that's trying to achieve unity within the university" is important, she says.
"It's just about mingling with students in a fancy, dressy setting," Ms Clarke says.
The deputy head of Pegasus College, Andrew Johnson, says colleges are a great way to make social connections and create a better "campus culture".
"The colleges offer a social network for students, and a different kind of engagement with university, beyond just books and assignments and so on," he says.
"By getting involved with other students in fun, social and team activities students get a much fuller experience, and actually can learn a lot about themselves, as well as how to work with others which is in some ways more important for what they'll do after university than some of the 'content' of their courses.
The non-residential colleges hosted the first annual ball for the university, the Cross College Constellation Ball, at the Lincoln on Toorak.
Students enjoyed a three-course dinner, dancing and a photobooth to commemorate the night.

"Don't cheat. The sperm will be angry."
-Rebekah Campbell.
Oh how I love you.
(by **soniatravel**)
I will go here someday. Yes.
So you're on again, are you? Sometimes I really hate seeing your name but most of all I hope you don't see mine. It's funny how I can't even avoid you on the internet, like because of the internet I am constantly under your radar. There's no escaping you, is there? Ah well. I could always get off, disappear in the privacy of my own reality. All it takes is a simple click of the mouse but then a new evil appears; loneliness. This constant contact with the entire capacity of planet earth has me reeling when it's not there.
So that's how it is then. You've trapped me in a box as big as the globe. Your name pops up at the bottom of my screen. May the idle chat begin.
I have no excuse
I have decided that every once in while, I am going to throw in a Doctor Who post in between RDJ posts. :DDDD

Billed as the "system preload" formulation, Tropical Citrus is a pleasant and familiar-tasting beverage that is sweetened with sugar, glucose, and stevia. From a functional point of view, this product is almost identical to the Cactus Starfruit flavor, with the only noticeable difference being the addition of natural caffeine from guarana (they have also removed L-glutamine). While caffeine is certainly a good addition, the name "system preload" implied to us that this drink would have protein. We're sure that we're not alone in coming up with our own way to interpret this somewhat vague functional description -- instead, we would suggest that they focus on what's in it (e.g. electrolytes & caffeine). Further on that, we would simplify the visual presentation. The words "athletic supplement" do not add to the appeal, while the flavor name unfortunately ends up hidden on one of the bottle's ribs. We would also eliminate (at least from the front panel) the "Good4U sports nutrition" badge, "balanced with stevia" and "100% natural." Lastly, the placement of the calorie content is good in theory, but in practice having three different calorie choices (0, 20, 25) will likely confuse consumers. Even without those elements, it is pretty easy to figure out that this is a sports drink. Overall, it tastes pretty good, but the visual appearance leaves some room for improvement.

I had no idea this would be the case when I took the Tumblr plunge, but making "personal" art pieces to post on here forced me to grow as an artist and has fed back into my "professional" work, and it has inspired me for the possibilities in my future endeavors. I deeply appreciate it, and hope you got something worthwhile out of this blog too. A huge thanks to all of the incredible artists I follow on here for the invaluable inspiration, and to the ATLA and LOK fans for all the spirited fanart, GIFs, cosplay, etc. You guys help to fuel us through the crazy process of bringing animation to life.

During project preparation, consultations were held with different stakeholders at the policy-making level, representatives of organizations providing vocational training, local communities, private sector, staff of the ongoing Skills Development Project, MSDVTE officials, and students. Discussions were held with stakeholders at the regional level to identify courses, taking into consideration labor market demands. Industrial specialists were consulted for information on training needs and employment opportunities. At a national workshop the draft project feasibility study was presented to key stakeholders and their comments and concerns were addressed.

|The Project?s impact will be the development of more mid-level and highly skilled human resources who will contribute to economic growth and social development. The Project supports the Government?s poverty reduction strategy and economic goals by improving the country?s skill-based competitiveness. The Project?s envisioned outcome is improved access and strengthened capacity of the TEVT system in technical and technological education to meet labor market needs.
|The Government is addressing unemployment and the changing labor market through a combination of short- and medium-term strategies. In the short-term, the Government is exploring the possibility of expanding local and foreign employment in the skilled and semi-skilled job categories while, over the medium-term, the Government accords high priority to manufacturing-based growth with increased foreign investments. This strategy requires the availability of highly trained labor, including technicians and technologists, which are presently in short supply. The Sri Lankan labor market is facing a supply-demand gap for skilled labor at the technologist and technician level. Locally, the supply of technicians and mid-level professionals is already falling short of demand while, in the foreign labor market, Sri Lanka has been continuously unable to fill a significant portion of job orders for middle-level and skilled worker categories. Despite the large supply-demand gap, unemployment, especially for the educated youth, is a serious concern in Sri Lanka. The large number of school-leavers lack employment-related skills necessary to obtain employment in available jobs or engage in self-employment. These unemployed youths could be productively employed in industry if they are trained in relevant technical and vocational skills. The Project supports Sri Lanka's development strategy and is included in ADB's Country Strategy and Program. The Project supports the Government?s poverty reduction strategy and economic goals by improving the country?s skill-based competitiveness.

In general, these equations define an extremum of f (a minimum, maximum or saddle point).
If the n variables are not independent, but satisfy m constraint equations
gradient of f need not vanish at the extremum, it need only be orthogonal to the (n-m)-dimensional surface described by the constraint equations. That is,
or in matrix notation , where the coefficients are called Lagrange multipliers. The above equations together may be written as
A useful method for solving these equations is the Newton-Raphson method. Stick to matrix notation and let
i.e. Hessian of f and ( Jacobi Matrix). Assuming that x is an approximation to the required solution, a better approximation is calculated. This procedure is iterated until some convergence criterion is satisfied, e.g. until the equations are satisfied to a given precision, or until the step is ``sufficiently small''.
For the unconstrained minimization problem, the Newton-Raphson formula is
For the constrained problem, the Newton-Raphson formula becomes
where the superscripts `u' or `c' stand for ``unconstrained'' or ``constrained''.
Apart from the additional term in the formula for , there is no change in the procedure.
Note in particular that the first guess for the solution may well violate the constraint equations, since these equations are solved during the iteration procedure.
Note also that if efficiency is essential, and can be calculated without explicit inversions of the matrices involved. For example, the matrix should be calculated by solution of the linear equation , not by calculation of A-1.
The formulae given here for and are only valid if the matrix A has an inverse. If A is singular, then one must solve the linear equations
for and together.
The Lagrange multiplier method is in general very easy to use. It may, however, be more sensitive to rounding errors and also more time-consuming than the elimination method ( Constraints), in which the constraint equations are solved explicitly. However, an explicit solution is frequently not possible. also Minimization.

As Dwayne Bowe said this morning, the first season is over. The Kansas City Chiefs have washed up ashore with a 1-3 record, a troubled and conflicted fan base, a quarterback and a head coach on the hot seat, and a crowded injured reserve list. The next three "seasons," starting this week against the somehow-even-more-injured Indianapolis Colts and ending with week 17 in January, the Chiefs will be facing adversity. So let us study how, exactly, that adversity came to be.
The 2011 Kansas City Chiefs truly began their collapse during the 2011 NFL lockout. There was a five month window where the incredibly talented youth on our team were unable to maintain the conditioning and individual work that many more experienced teams were much more aware to pursue. Every young and developing team was put at an immediate disadvantage to other teams with more veteran leadership or more natural leaders than what the Chiefs had on deck.
This was, however, the high point of the Matt Cassel project in Kansas City. Organizing close to 50 Chiefs (!) in a town where most of them don't even live, including several free agents without a contract, Cassel single-handedly ran a week's worth of practices on his own. It was an amazing display of leadership from somebody who knew what the team needed, incredible initiative, and an almost omniscient understanding of the playbook. Matt Cassel was becoming, finally, the Leader of This Team.
This key revelation nonetheless faced two serious obstacles. Cassel has always been a natural beta male, which allows him to effectively lead by example and play the Good Cop when needed, but he absolutely lacks the wherewithal to become the Bad Cop (which on this team has all too often become Thomas Jones out of necessity). This lets his teammates off the hook far too often instead of holding their feet to the fire. This is fatal with a roster as young and underdeveloped as ours, and when actual practices began, Todd Haley was apparently so shocked by the radical variations in his players' fitness he felt the need to initiate a similarly radical solution: start training camp out super easy, and gradually build up the physicality like a crescendo all the way through the fourth preseason game.
To use the kindest language possible, this was a disaster. The team's discipline was a thousand miles behind every other team who took the time-proven method of making their training camps challenging and easing up and crystallizing the roster in preseason. The easy training camp left much of the roster out of shape. A fight even broke out in the locker room which injured our stud first-rounder for at least two full months. And as the sloppy ramp-up began in the preseason, our team was crushed for four straight weeks (while charging fans full price while the team did little more than practice) without even the slightest clue as to what they were doing. Starters like Cassel, Jamaal Charles, and Dwayne Bowe played deep into the fourth quarter in the last preseason game. Which we still lost.
Even for a guy like me who has truly appreciated the work Haley's done over the past two years, this was damn near unprecedented. We lost Tony Moeaki. Matt Cassel broke a rib. The roster looked weird, shallow, and incomplete. And we were all pissed off beyond belief about it, as the organization looked absolutely lost from the owner down to the ball boys.
Much more, after the jump.
Through all of this, we were constantly assured by One Arrowhead Drive and fellow, overzealous Chiefs fans that this was just the preseason, and thus could easily be ignored.
Then, Week 1 happened. Our best defensive player is out for the season, and we get hopelessly crushed. Then Week 2 happened. Our best offensive player is out for the season, and we get hopelessly crushed. Cassel was throwing interceptions at an astonishing clip, none of the help we brought in for him was healthy or registering as actual "help." Our defensive line, bolstered (but not really) by a 35-year-old nose tackle, are getting wiped off the line of scrimmage by iffy (AT BEST) offensive lines that will be among the league's bottom third by the end of the season. My hero Glenn Dorsey? Horrendous. Everybody's favorite punching bag, Tyson Jackson? Surprisingly adequate, though it doesn't matter if our starting strong-side linebacker (Andy Studebaker) has regressed so radically he's flirting with being deactivated for Week 5.
Really, "regressed" is the key term I'd use for this whole team the first couple of weeks. A ton of the young talent that had made this team who they were in 2010 looked completely lost now that the league was expecting much more out of them. Jerheme Urban and Verron Tucker, nothing. Barry Richardson, awful. Javier Arenas, crappy when he's not returning kicks. Dexter McCluster, awful when he is returning kicks. Kendrick Lewis is lost without Berry absorbing attention from opposing QBs.
And then… there's Cassel. Inspiring zero hope from his multitude of play callers, Cassel had been given nothing but five-to-ten yard routes, check downs, screens, and draw plays, and was still barely completing 50% of his passing and stacking up interceptions like they were going out of style. When he was given the opportunity to make some noise, he was generally pathetic. His body posture and game management were equally awful. All of our worst fears were starting to come true, and flush went the season.
Then, Week 3. Even though many of the intangibles going into the team's visit to San Diego were heavily slanted in the Chiefs' favor, it was a "good loss," which is a phrasing only really bad teams use. The Chargers predictably came out flat. The Chiefs amazingly came out strong. Tamba Hali and Dwayne Bowe continue to impress. Dexter McCluster is hell on wheels coming out of the backfield. Derrick Johnson and Brandon Carr look really good no matter what Romeo Crennel asks of them. And while he's been on the hot seat coming into this year, Brandon Albert has looked very solid at the crucial left tackle position. The Chiefs earned turnovers, Cassel somehow found enough open receivers to save the offense from its usual pathetic form, and the Chiefs found themselves in a position to win that fell short in the last minute when Cassel chucked the ball into a defender's chest in what was one of many infuriatingly ultra-conservative play calls, even in the waning seconds with the game on the line.
Week 4 was the team's first victory, but it was just as bad a win as the previous week was a good loss. The defense looked extremely impressive, allowing only a field goal and a great touchdown by the Vikings but otherwise shut down Adrian Peterson and created numerous turnovers that provided Cassel and the offense with great scoring position time after time. The Chiefs connected only one of these many different opportunities, however, when Bowe made an All World move to beat half the Viking secondary single-handedly. Everything else had to come in the form of a field goal from the seemingly reborn Ryan Succop.
So we sit here, with the first season totally in our rear view mirror, and we look at the big picture. What this team has is a plethora of talented players that could decorate anybody's Super Bowl roster. Berry and Charles are out with injury, but there is no doubt what they provide this team. Moeaki at tight end. Bowe and Baldwin at receiver. McCluster out of the backfield, and Breaston in the slot. Albert, Lilja, Asamoah across the line. Tyson Jackson at left end. Hali and now maybe Houston and Sheffield on the outside, with DJ and Belcher inside. Flowers and Carr at corner, and one of the best punters in the game.
This team has many elements. What the first season tells us, is that they are lacking a core. In last week's win, the Chiefs D played out of their minds all day, and were stellar in stalling Vikings QB Donovan McNabb's final drive to seal the victory. But the Chiefs had two opportunities on offense earlier that quarter to put this game out of reach, and promptly crapped its pants twice.
Matt Cassel has yet to win this team a game when it matters most: the final minutes of the fourth quarter. That distinction alone should put him on very thin ice entering this season.
The team has consistency finally with defensive coaching, but the offense remains ever in flux because Haley can't get along with anybody. Cassel's hearing three different voices in his helmet and it is stagnating the offensive game plan, the one thing Haley was brought here to fix.
Going forward, for three more seasons in 2011, this Chiefs team needs to do everything it can to develop its talent. But more than anything else, it needs to figure out if it has a core in its coach and quarterback, or otherwise move on next year.
That means a lot of forcing the ball into Matt's hands whether he likes it or not. And that means a lot of frustrating play if Cassel is exactly who we think he is.
Think of it as a necessary exorcism, then. This team's got three more quarters, and getting everybody else on the team to progressively play better if the core can't reliably provide.

Nmap Development
mailing list archives
I finally sat down with the nmap source to look at adding some of the "verbose"
LOG_STDOUT output that happens with -v -v -v to XML output .. so that people like me
who want to write script wrappers that parse nmap from language X can get port
info for event-driven APIs ... mine is in perl and is at
But is only works with a given nmap version as the LOG_STDOUT output has changed
between versions :( .. and the parsing is complex and breaks easily .. blech.
The most important messages I was missing in order to change from parsing LOG_STDOUT
format to LOG_XML format were the live "Adding <state> port ... " messages.
Here is a small patch to add that functionality to nmap. I hope, Fyodor, that you
will be willing to add this to the main development branch of nmap ... so that
people like me who want to make nmap scanning functionality accessible through
scripting languages can use the XML output format ... I had been using LOG_STDOUT
but that changes often and parsing it is a pain.
I know this is a rather minor change, but it will make a huge difference for modules
like mine .. in terms of stability and utility :).

Oxfordshire Traveller Reviews
Located just an hour's train ride with Chiltern Railways from London's Marylebone station, and only 20 minutes from Oxford, Bicester Village has been.Located just an hour's train ride with Chiltern Railways from London's Marylebone station, and only 20 minutes from Oxford, Bicester Village has been serving the discerning shopper for over 15 years. This is a calm oasis of luxury with over 130 elegant outlet boutiques, charmingly modelled on the human scale of the surrounding villages, where shoppers can browse and buy from a bevy of exemplary British brands: Anya Hindmarch, Agent Provocateur, Mulberry, Paul Smith, Pringle of Scotland,

, all with yearround reductions of up to 60% on the recommended retail price off past seasons collections. At Bicester Village shoppers are greeted with five star services,

, taking shoppers from central London to the Village in comfort; valet parking; an award winning Tourist Information Centre complete with multilingual welcome hostesses, Shop Drop, a collection service turning shopping into a 'hands free' experience, and a children's play area, keeping youngsters entertained. A menu of restaurants and cafs here includes, French cuisine from Villandry; authentic Italian cooking from Carluccio's; Thai salads, noodles, curries and stirfries from the new culinary import from London Busaba Eathai and coffee shops Pret A Manger and Starbucks. My son got some slim fit Paul Smith jeans for 39 reduced from 120. Many shops are true high end so prices can still be scary expensive even when discounted but there are still plenty of reasonably priced shops. Because of the ever changing stock,
cheap toms shoes
, visits can vary from being 'buy tones at great prices' to a frustrating waste of time, but that's outlets for you. Don't judge on your first visit if it's poor, give the place a second chance. My biggest biggest tip GO EARLY!, by that I mean turn up 45 minutes before opening, have a cup of coffee at Starbucks, consult the store map and plan your first hour. Be ready at your first shop as it opens and you'll have a pleasant hour or so before it gets manic. Much better mid week but still heaving by midday.Usually a normal highstreet shopper but I also like to occasionally treat myself to designers. The village itself was stunning and as the sun was shining we definitely felt abroad. There a few shops like Jack Wills and Cath Kidston that were definitely worth while and fell within a nice price range. Food was very upper class I had a sandwich, 2 waters and a sausage roll which cost 13 not overly expensive but not cheap! Jamie Oliver has a deli there and there are some very nice restraints! Even though I haven't got children, I would imagine there's not much for them if you did have them. Definite worth while even just for the experience!Last time i went, we had to leave quickly because of the random snowfall in march!So we braved it a second time on sunday and it was so busy! full of arabs and orientals with huge designer bags full of discounted goodies. To be honest, the prices aren't that much better. Chances are if you can afford the discounted designer wear on offer there,
, you can afford it full price as well. good for a visti but dont expect major bargains. Tip: Ralph Lauren children does get long lines, but i did see someone filling out a bag/locker thing in there, so if u grab bargains u dont have to walk around with them! might be in every store?It was well worth the trip from Manchester, it is much better for big brands than Cheshire Oaks. The shop attendants were very polite and helpful and the atmosphere was lovely. I purchased 2 Gucci bags for just over 500 pounds! Which was the best buy of the day. Some stores were heavily discounted such as Gucci, Ralph Lauren and Juicy Couture but Clarks and UGG were quite dissapointing as there was little discount given. half a ham and cheese baguette for 3.80 pounds!Overall it was a very good trip and I will be returning soon!

I'd like to be more involved in fields such as illustration and concept art, so I'm learning some new skills and adding some much-needed imagination into my portfolio. One thing I'm learning is the art of digital painting. Besides resources like youtube :-P, I'm working through an online digital painting course put on by Oatley Acadamy. Read more about it here.
To start out, I had to create a character out of a classic portrait painting and an animal. I chose to combine a lion with a portrait by J.S.Sargent. Two pretty awesome things in my opinion.
Here are some studies and the painting I have so far. It's still a work in progress :).

When I login to my Comcast webmail interface I land at a really irritating Xfinity Home Page screen with an "Inbox Preview." Is there a way to set the default login target to Inbox (just like the old days before everything went "social")? I went through all the settings/options and couldnt find a way to do this.
I agree 100%. That "preview" screen is utterly worthless.At one point a few months ago. Jonathan Livingood (a VP at Comcast who posts a lot on datacomm issues) said that the web department (and specifically Webmail) was managed by a department that reports to him.So maybe he is reading this -- or maybe we should collectively email Livingood with the opinion that Webmail is not very friendly.
