The Green Bay Packers returned to practice today, and Will Blackmon was with them.
Blackmon sat out Saturday's playoff victory over Seattle because of a foot injury. He did some work at cornerback and fielded punts during the portion of practice that was open to the media today.
It'snot clear whether Blackmon will be able to play in Sunday's NFC Championship game against the New York Giants at Lambeau Field, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
Blackmon's return would strengthen the Packers' defensive backfield and make their return game more dangerous.
Cornerback Charles Woodson, center Scott Wells and linebacker Nick Barnett appeared to leave practice early today, but it was not immediately clear why. Woodson has fought through nagging injuries all season and Barnett had a sore hamstring last week.

Himalayan Pink 8" Square Salt Plate
Searching for an artful new way to cook and serve your favorite dishes? Himalayan Pink salt plates are nature's cook top and serving platter in one, offering many creative culinary uses while delivering the benefits of natural, pure salt with no chemicals or additives. Heat your Himalayan salt plate to high temperatures and sear thinly sliced meats, fish, vegetables, seafood and other quick-cooking foods. Or, chill it for use in serving sushi, appetizers, cold meats and cheeses, fresh fruit and vegetables, and even cold desserts.
Himalayan Pink salt plates are harvested from deep within the ancient Himalayan mountain range of Pakistan. There, they have remained protected from pollution and impurities for centuries, making this what many consider the purest, cleanest salt in the world. The salt is mined as large, meteor-like boulders and later sliced into, slabs, blocks, bricks and plates as well as sculpted into bowls. Because Himalayan Pink salt plates are a natural product, the threshold for high temperatures and pressure may vary, as will the physical characteristics and inclusions which give your salt plate a one-of-a-kind appearance.

- XXXXXXXXXXXXVIPDined on 11/22/2014NEWLY DECORATED ADDDS TO CHARM ALWAYS MOST ENJOYACBLE FOOD AND SERVICE ALWAY EXCELLENTSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice ExperienceLeahDined on 11/12/2014I took my friend to General Warren Inn for her birthday lunch. It was a very pleasant experience. I love the ambiance. Our lunch was delicious and the service was great. We spent several hours there enjoying everything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dsmCcka13Dined on 11/8/2014We have not been to the General Warren Inn for several years. We always used to go there to celebrate our anniversary. We read an article about it and decided to give it a try again. The owners have updated the restaurant. It does not have the 'heavy' feel that it used to have. The service was outstanding. Everyone, down to the coat room girl was extremely nice and helpful. We will return!Special Features:
- Another great experienceDWillHVIPDined on 11/8/2014The General Warren Inn has become one of favorite eating establishments. The service is outstanding where the wait staff will actually carry on a conversation with the customers and are not just order takers. We never feel rushed. The food is excellent in taste and presentation. The crackling fireplaces just adds the ambiance ... and yes they use real wood. We will be back again and again.Special Features:
- DisappointingWestChesterPhilDined on 11/7/2014Ambiance is still good, the food is only fair, and the service, at least on our night, was poor. The menu looks and reads interesting but the execution falls short. A small plate of braised ribs arrived looking like it was coated in tar. The beef wellington, ordered medium-rare was decidedly medium. The food here is simply "fair" and that is a fair assessment despite reviews that wax enthusiastic about it. The biggest drag on the evening was achingly slow service. Dinner took nearly three hours with the longest stretch taking place between being seated and having the order taken. GWI is not a terrible dining experience but neither is it a special occasion place.
- Menulove2eatDined on 11/6/2014The lunch menu offerings were a little too creative. Each item had multiple ingredients listed and preparations which sometimes sounded unusual at best and odd at worst. My friend couldn't say enough good things about her small plate of Seafood Papardelle. I chose the small plate Chicken Roulade. The red pepper mash as advertised did not appear on the plate. The chicken was over-powered by the too-heavily herbed goat cheese. Very disappointing. The saving graces this day were the warm fireplace on a cold and rainy day and the waitress' attention to our needs. I did report there was too much cheese in my dish for my liking and she was aghast & wondered if it was because every chef prepares the dish somewhat differently. That made me cringe.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- If the walls could talk ...JB22VIPDined on 11/4/2014If the walls could talk they would tell the tale about the wonderfully restored, preserved and totally improved General Warren. If you haven't been, you need to pop in and see all the changes - bright airy dining rooms offer a fresh look in each dining area to the perennial warm and inviting "fireplace" charm of this historic inn. Even the bar has a new look - with new lighting, soapstone bar top, tin ceiling and a few new grown-up cocktails! Dinner featured a giant succulent Pork Chop, a striped bass over grilled octopus vegetable medley, and the traditional and always spot on roasted duck. Roll in their always stellar & award winning BEST OF THE MAIN LINE service, and you've got another great story to tell!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedDined on 10/25/2014Outstanding in all respects (as always). New décor is fantastic.Special Features:
- Always a delightJillBVIPDined on 10/25/2014It was lovely to return for dinner after many years. The menu is up to date but still offers that quaint ambience where you can just relax and enjoy your evening. We loved the tableside prepared Caesar salad for two. In fact, it was practically a meal in itself. The wine list is extensive, with choices from the old world and new world. We were pleased with our Torrontes from Argentina. My grouper entrée was a bit on the sweet side with a cantaloupe jelly sauce but my husband's salmon was great. Our server was very easy-going and pleasant. All in all, a nice dinner and experience.Special Features:
- Still an excellent dining choiceshipwright53VIPDined on 10/25/2014My wife and I wanted to enjoy a nice dinner out to replace a trip we had to cancel. The General Warren Inne had provided the ambience we needed in the past, and, since its recent renovation, we decided to look in on this old favorite. We were pleasantly surprised that the new layout included some new seating choices which suited my wife's ailing back just fine. We found the food and atmosphere to be very good as usual, and the service was attentive yet not overbearing. We will be pleased to dine there again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- General Warren - it was okay...JenAVIPDined on 10/22/2014I was expecting spectacular. I had a 6 oz filet. Cooked perfectly, but really not that tender. My daughter tried the beef wellington - just a bad choice for us - none of us had it before and none of us liked it. Rack of lamb was good, but not great. Waitress seemed annoyed that we ordered 2 tableside bananas foster for dessert. It was good, but not caramelized enough...Special Features:
- A real gemDelonerangerDined on 10/21/2014The General Warren Inn is a wonderful throwback to the days of the charming country inn. The food is terrific, the decor is "formal country" and the service is great. I particularly recommend the tableside Caesar salad - just great. I would recommend the General Warren Inn without hesitation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sharing is caring ...JB22VIPDined on 10/21/2014What's better than hitting GW for a business lunch? How about exposing two new folks to the wonderful experience that is GW? Business lunch with a perspective client, and I'd like to think two new future GW customers! Both of my guests were thrilled with their experience, service and food. Looking for a special place for your next business meeting / lunch? The General Warren team will take excellent care of you and your guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Problems HereOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/17/2014First of all - absolutely lovely location. But that's where the good stuff ends. Took several minutes for them to get us a waitress/waiter. I even asked the woman pouring the water who our waitress was and she pointed at someone who ended up not being our waitress. Finally we got that resolved and things improved a bit. For one appetizer we asked that they leave off the bacon and they still brought it. They fixed that. They then forgot to put in our oldest daughter's order so by the time they realized that and addressed it her plate arrived 15 minutes after ours - the dessert that my youngest daughter ordered took way too long to arrive. They did credit the dessert for free on the final check. We won't be back.
- First TimeChesterCountyFoodieDined on 10/13/2014We celebrated our anniversary at General Warren Inne. Food as quite good, well presented. Menu was a little more interesting than others in the same class. It was a Monday evening at 8 p.m. and I was glad we had made reservations as it was quite busy. My only complaint was that it was so noisy that we couldn't even hear each other across the table. There were plenty of other tables that couples could have been seated at that would have been more private. Service was good and timely. Staff was pleasant but no one made us feel like they were particularly happy that we were there. Fair value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice placeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/11/2014Had to wait for a bit for our 7:30 reservation, but it wasn't too bad. The bartenders were great, the food was pretty good, but we were put in the large room with the grey-haired crowd. The crowd skews older, but not too surprising giving the traditional menu - and I mean that in a good way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointingpatfoodieDined on 10/11/2014The Inne is lovely but food much less so. Our main dishes were generally good but somehow the sides were not....A chicken roulade was served with a large garnish of raw kale. A salmon was served with brussel sprout so undecooked that you could not cut them and there was no seasoning.. When the waitress asked if we liked everything we said no and explained about the brussel sprouts...instead of saying that she was sorry that we did not like them she said that most people did. It could be a first class destination but the menu and execution need to be ramped up..sorry wish that I did not have to say that.
- Beef WellingtononvacaDined on 10/11/2014I found this place searching for one of my favorite meals for my birthday. We had 9 people so we had a large assortment of the menu to sample. Everything was high quality and cooked perfectly. Not cheap but in my opinion fairly priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The WarrenOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014Patrick is an amazing proprietor! The wait staff is always impeccable I have been goin to the General Warren for 18 years and the food by far is the best on the mainline! The ambience is perfect for special occasions!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 10 yrs @ GWKMPicksVIPDined on 10/9/2014Thank you for another lovely evening. We'll be back soon to try the new small plates!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/3/2014After being offered a bench table with other tables at your elbows (NY style), we elected to eat in the bar area instead. Wonderful atmosphere to the entire place. The food was excellent, the server was knowledgeable and attentive. Overall a very enjoyable evening on a special occasion.Special Features:
- This is not "fast food"OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014Food is very good, but takes a while to be served. Reservations were for 7:30pm and our order was taken promptly, but our food wasn't served until about 9:10pm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingYumYumVIPDined on 9/25/2014It had been several years since I'd dined at this charming venue and was looking forward to an enjoyable evening. Menu items were off season with some strange combinations for starters. Service was erratic at best and the food mediocre at a fairly high price point. Will not be in a hurry to return even with the totally lovely setting.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerdelightedDined on 9/20/2014My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal with outstanding service from our friendly waitress. We were celebrating our anniversary, and from start to finish, it was the perfect way to celebrate and spend time together. We ordered two different green salads, mushroom tacos and beef wellington ~ all of which were wonderful. We topped it off with two delicious desserts, which were not needed, but just too tempting to resist! Had the weather been a little warmer, we would have requested dining in the outdoor patio area which looked beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- JustfortheHalibut01Dined on 9/16/2014Appetizer and dinners were excellent. The coconut cheesecake dessert was dry and lacked flavorSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great ambience of an old InneLOUYDined on 9/13/2014Enjoy eating in the bar, but different rooms have different ambiences, all in the old Inne atmosphere Service was excellent. The 6 oz. filet was acceptable but not as tender as I have had elsewhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RitaRitaDined on 9/13/2014We usually have a wonderful experience here, but not this past weekend. The waiter was inattentive in the extreme. We had to send the dessert brownie back because it was inedibly hard and impossible to cut. They did make a substitution, but we were embarrassed because the people dining with us were our guests. The restaurant did not 'comp' us the dessert either. The waiter never inquired how the meal was nor did he ask if we wanted more wine. We had to ask another person to send our waiter 3 times in the course of the meal, which is certainly unacceptable.Special Features:
- Always FantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/6/2014enjoyed a wonderful evening with the family at GWI. Drinks, food and atmosphere was outstanding. Renovations in progress (in the adjoining room) did not deter from our most pleasant experience. Service was first class.Special Features:
- wcnativeDined on 9/6/2014We'd been here before and thought of this lovely inn for my birthday dinner. It was just the two of us and we enjoyed our evening very much. Quiet table in the corner with a view of the lawn and gardens. Very nice wine selection, prompt service but never rushed, great seasonal special additions to the menu. Everything was delicious. We will look forward to another relaxing and enjoyable meal there soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good but CloseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014My husband and I celebrated his birthday at The Gen. Warren Inne on Saturday night. The food was excellent, as was the service. Construction is underway, so we could not really appreciate the beauty of the building. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together and we heard everyone's conversation.Special Features:
- Very nice dinnerMarkDined on 8/30/2014Everything about the food and service was great. Renovations in the room next to ours detracted from the ambiance as well as the odd music selection, xm satellite radio with commercials playing top twenty hits wasnt very enjoyable. Still a really nice dinner and I'd go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful outdoor areaOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/29/2014My husband and I went to dinner with two other couples and enjoyed an evening of eating outside in the quaint "back porch" area. There were several new Vegan small plate options on the menu which I tried. They were spectacular. Several in the group ordered fish dishes which they enjoyed. One of our diners ordered the famous pork chop and was not disappointed.Special Features:
- General Warren InnGoodDined on 8/28/2014It was great overall. Everyone's meal was great. I had the crab cake. I thought it was ok. It was on the bland side. I expected more at the GW, but the Caesar salad was excellent as was the rib eye and filet mignon. It's a nice intimate dining experience. The service was great.Special Features:

- The General is in CommandDRHBRVIPDined on 8/23/2014The General Warren Inne delivered on all fronts- atmosphere, service and most importantly, food. Had been a while since I had snapper soup, and it was superb, as recommended. Caesar salad (for 2) prepared tableside, was excellent as were all the entrees (crab cake, salmon, rack of lamb and steak au poive). Service was attentive and efficient. Pre dinner, wines and post dinner drinks were all good values. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner on all fronts. We will be back soon.Special Features:
- Wonderful eveningDocNoggiesDined on 8/23/2014Very interesting menu. Love the history of the place also. A little bit of construction going on, but it didn't bother us.Special Features:

Is Koollage Simply Squidoo With iPhone Functionality?
When I first saw Koollage, I thought its concept of gathering content you want online and on your iPhone in Pods (Packages-On-Demand) was interesting, but sounded vaguely familiar. Then it hit me - it sounded like Squidoo and its concept of Lenses for content. The other site Koollage reminded me of with its Klubs, Koollage Krew and Kool Factor was MySpace, and its content aggregation properties smacked of a prettier FriendFeed.

Just Kidding
Unsolicited Advice
Vladimir Putin's secret (fake) letter of congratulations to Xi Jinping.
Dear Comrade Xi:
Appended to this letter you will find my official notice of congratulations. It is on the Kremlin letterhead and contains all the ritualistic "hellos" and "how-are-yous." It will be distributed to the press.
But given the circumstances, and the fact that I have some time to kill (the prime minister of some Scandinavian country has been waiting in the adjacent room for only an hour, and is not quite ripe), I thought I would send something a little more personal. The occasion demands it. For one thing, we are peers, you and I, just now traversing the hump of six decades on this treacherous planet, and that is a grim jubilee, so prepare yourself.
I don't know what kind of regiment you're on -- exercise, diet, etc. But I am writing to you now from my residence at Novo-Ogaryovo, where I've been holed up like a circus bear ever since my back gave out. There was a crane-flying accident in Siberia. You many have heard about it. Long story. Very cold up there. Murder on the joints.
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is I have some advice -- friendly, unobtrusive -- but advice that needs your attention. The chubby Uzbek from our First Directorate was kind enough to bring me a VHS this morning of your speech to the Party Congress, and I had Dmitry insert it into my video player over lunch. He's very good with machines. We watched it together. And I'll be straight with you: It was a little dry. There is comfort in the fact that Chairman Hu is not exactly a razzle-dazzle act to follow, but you have to think in global terms.
If you'll permit an unsolicited bit of intelligence-sharing, I can tell you that Obama plays basketball with actual basketball players a couple of times a week. I'm serious. I have it from deep sources -- alright, it was actually Vanity Fair -- that these games of his are not pre-arranged for state television. This is not throwing a yellow-belt judo student over your shoulder and or skin diving for strategically placed ancient urns. This guy is actually running. He's jumping. He's being elbowed in the kidneys. This is a problem for both of us.
As has been discussed many times at various diplomatic levels, we have to work as a team, and I'm not just talking about the double-veto dance we've been doing at the United Nations. Syria will come and go. But the fate of global security depends on a multipolar world, and to speak candidly, our poles have to exude impeccable physical strength. Your jowls are a problem. That's the first thing. I have an excellent practitioner in Baden-Baden who would be happy to tuck those in. But you have to be proactive.
It is imperative that you start using the extensive media resources at your disposal. This afternoon, the Uzbek brought me the case file we have on you -- nothing to worry about, just newspaper clippings, mostly -- and I was unable to find any photographs of you shirtless and/or astride any kind of animal. This is of concern for our cumulative image. Chairman Hu was squeamish on this issue. As he told me privately, he was simply not comfortable going bare-chested or handling firearms. Perhaps this had to do with the Confucian factor. I cannot claim to know about such things.
But going forward, I sincerely hope that you will at least consider some kind of dolphin scenario. They are supremely friendly animals.
Perhaps later we can move you on toward larger mammals. Maybe you're not ready for a tiger, yet, but for maximum socio-cultural impact on the home front, allow me to suggest a panda -- using adequate sedation, of course. I would be willing to put my team of zoologists and ornithologists at your disposal. They have a window of time while my back recovers.
In any case, let's discuss it candidly at our next meeting. The Scandinavian has begun rapping on the door. So I must go.
Yours with only genuine concern and good wishes,

Republican Tom Garrett, the former Commonwealth's Attorney for Louisa County, has easily won an open Virginia Senate seat over well-known businessman Bert Dodson as Republicans look to erase the Democrats' slim majority.
With three-fourths of the precincts reporting in the sprawling 22nd District, Garrett had 58 percent of the vote over the Democrat. The district runs from Lynchburg through rural districts to Richmond's western suburbs.
With 76 of 85 precincts reporting, Garrett had collected 24,530 votes to Dodson's 17,724, for a 58% to 42% advantage.
In other key races, 3 ½-term Democratic Sen. Roscoe Reynolds was in a photo-finish race with Republican Sen. Bill Stanley in a marquee rural Southside race.
In two other critical races, Democratic Sens. Phil Puckett in southwestern Virginia coal country and Edd Houck in Spotsylvania's fast-growing suburbs held leads of about 1 point over well-funded, determined Republicans with two-thirds of the vote counted.

March 9, 2011
Due to a recent change in Kansas vaccination requirements, more school-age children will need additional chickenpox vaccinations before the start of the 2011-12 school year.
The Sedgwick County Health Department is extending its offer of free varicella (chickenpox) vaccine for children between the ages of 10 and 18. The free vaccine will now be available through the end of June at 2716 West Central.
A sliding fee scale is available for those under the age of 10 who qualify. The Health Department also accepts private insurance. Immunizations are offered on a walk-in basis. No appointment is needed.
"Chickenpox vaccine is still a fairly new concept, but we are already seeing the impact," said Sedgwick County Health Department Director Claudia Blackburn. "The number of cases in our schools has dropped significantly since it became a requirement."
The new standard calls for two doses for kids entering kindergarten, first, second and seventh grades. One dose will continue to be required for third through sixth and eighth through tenth grades – unless there is a documented history of the disease diagnosed by a physician (See chart below for comparison to former standards).
The Centers for Disease Control calculates that 15 to 20 percent of vaccinated children still get the chickenpox, though usually in a milder form. In one study, children who received a second dose were three times less likely to get the disease.
"Ideally, all parents will want to get that second dose for their children, regardless of their grade level," said Blackburn. "It's a good precaution to take."
Children ages 12 and under must wait at least three months between doses. Kids 13 and up should space their doses by no fewer than four weeks.
Chickenpox is highly contagious and spreads person-to-person by close contact with skin lesions or the cough/sneeze of an infected person.
In unvaccinated children, chickenpox most commonly causes an illness that lasts about 5-10 days with symptoms such as high fever, an uncomfortable rash with 250 to 500 itchy blisters, and dehydration or headache.
About one in 10 unvaccinated children who get chickenpox will have a complication that is serious enough to require a visit to his or her healthcare provider. These complications include infected skin lesions and other infections, dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea, or more serious complications like pneumonia and encephalitis.
In vaccinated children, chickenpox illness is typically mild, producing no symptoms at all, other than a few red bumps. However, 25 to 30 percent of vaccinated children who get the disease will develop illness as serious as unvaccinated children.

Full Description
Track Listing
Simone And Ian Felice The Lost Tapes Volume I And II on 180g Import 2LP
In the Fall of 2001, just after the attacks on New York City, Simone Felice began writing songs with his brother Ian Felice. Together they retreated to the woods they grew up in, where jobless with a cheap guitar they wrote and made recordings (two archived collections know as The Big Empty and Mexico) with their friend Doc Brown.
In this manner the two brothers clocked four years in complete obscurity, sewing the seeds of what would become (with the edition of younger brother James in the Winter of 2006) the folk rock/country rock band The Felice Brothers, whose subsequent albums Tonight at the Arizona, The Felice Brothers, and Yonder is the Clock have garnered international praise, earning these Upstate New York natives an inarguable place in the Great American Songbook.
This 18-song, 180g 2LP-set from Diverse Records collects Volume I: The Big Empty and Volume II: Mexico of the The Lost Tapes together as one gatefold vinyl release!

This weekend the fashion A-list was out and about rocking their best looks for a series of red-carpet events. But who looked the best? Whether it was Sienna and Kiera at the Birtish Independent Film Awards 2008 or Diane Kruger at the premiere of her latest movie 'Pour Elle' in Paris we've hand picked the ten best looks for you to rate. So vote now.
See the weekend's 10 best-dressed!
Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller were joined at the hip as they stepped out for The British Independent Film awards 2008. Sienna looked demure in a black sequin-shouldered Louis Vuitton SS09 dress whilst Kiera chose a cute coordinated black and white net Balenciaga dress.
Diane Kruger looked truly sensational in a ladylike Giambattista Valli dress straight off his SS09 catwalk accessorized with red velvet shoes. Divine!
Anna Friel looked radiant in a colourful Erdem gown and simple accessories.
If there was an award for serious grooming VB would have to win hands down. But is it us, or is there something a little odd in using your son to prop you up as you totter along in your Louboutins?
For this weekend's XFactor Cheryl Cole was her usual voluminous updo and red lipped self in a super cute Tibi dress.
Wearing a bright red dress, with red shoes, oh and with red lips on the red carpet should equal fashion meltdown. But Eva some how manages to pull of her head-to-toe Alexander McQueen look.
Preen's iconic dress returns this time on new Bond Girl Gemma Arerton. They don't call it the 'Power' dress for nothing! Top marks - though we reckon, a little predicatable.
Looking cute in a blue chiffon mini-dress. Jaime Winstone chose one of the fashion desk's favourite colour combos for the red carpet, accessorizing perfectly with a black Chanel 2.55
From the front Geri looks every bit the saucy senorita in her red ruffle dress. But from behind? Geri gets a serious thumbs down for wearing red (see-through) skirt, no knickers. To a CHILDREN'S event!
Leather, check. Over-the-knee boots, check. Fringed handbag, check. Studs, check. A rond of applause to Kate for her mega trend-athon this weekend.

Several Months ago I wrote a python script that helped me mount Disk and partition images. You can read the original post here.
It worked but was lacking in some areas. Mostly in that it didn't support GPT partition tables.
Thanks to @robtlee for poking me and @ChipRAFP for the support I have rewritten the script and added a couple more features. It now uses MMLS for GPT support and makes use of bdemount to work with bitlocker partitions.
- MMLS support for GPT.
- Mount Single Partition files.
- Mount Multiple partitions from a disk image.
- Supports E01 Files.
- Supports Bitlocker with recovery key.
FS Types:
- ntfs
- fat16
- fat32
The next revision will add support for Linux partitions.
This is a quick example mounting a Full Disk Bitlocked USB drive with the recovery key

Financial relief available for flood victims
BY MONIFA THOMAS Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com April 29, 2013 11:46AM
Gov. Pat Quinn talked with local residents, Chesky Katz (center) and Shlomo Deutsch (left) at a press conference where he launched preliminary flood damage assessments, which are a key step towards receiving federal recovery aid.

In the wake of what Gov. Pat Quinn called the most pervasive flood in Illinois since 1818, county, state and federal officials began the process Monday of trying to reach out to victims of the April floods in need of financial aid.
Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Illinois Emergency Management Association and the U.S. Small Business Administration were dispatched to assess flood-damaged homes in Cook, Lake and DuPage counties on Monday, after Quinn sent a letter to FEMA on April 22 requesting assistance.
Data collected during the assessment will be included in a follow-up request by Quinn for federal assistance that, if approved, could provide small-interest loans and federal grants.
Quinn also declared a total of 48 counties state disaster area because of the flooding that began on April 18, including Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, McHenry and Will.
The state disaster declaration makes available a range of resources that are supposed to help communities recover from flooding, such as allowing more than 3,600 inmates to either assist with filling sandbags. Quinn, who spoke in front of the once-flooded North Branch of the Chicago River in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, said, "We've never had, in our whole state of Illinois in its history since 1818, such a pervasive flood in so many different parts of Illinois."
"Our duty now is to really assess the damage," he said.
The last time Illinois qualified for federal assistance for flooding was in 2010. FEMA gave residents and business owners about $320 million by the end of November that year.
Nelson Reyes, 68, of Albany Park, said any funds he gets from FEMA will help toward expenses like the damaged TV in his basement from 6-plus feet of flooding water. But Reyes, who says he's been through a flooding three times in his 5000 block of North Monticello Avenue, said, "This could have been prevented."
Reyes said the state didn't place sandbags in time to keep the Chicago River from flooding.
The maximum amount an individual could receive for uninsured losses is $31,900, in the form of a federal grant that doesn't need to be repaid.
Meanwhile, in Cook County, taxpayers who sustained flood-related losses are urged to contact the county assessor's office and apply for assessment reductions.
Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios said outreach teams will be sent to the affected areas to record and document damage, to see if property assessments — a factor used in calculating an owner's tax bill — can be lowered on damaged homes.
Outreach teams will be sent to the townships of Leyden, Lyons, Maine, Niles, Norwood Park, Proviso, Riverside, Stickney and parts of Jefferson.

Omaha police were dispatched to investigate a burglary at the Amtrak station downtown late Sunday night. While officers spoke to the victim, a witness told police that he saw the suspect remove a handgun from his waistband and place it on the ground near the train.
The suspect allegedly stole a computer from the victim's luggage.
Officers found the gun and questioned the suspect, who is identified as 39-year-old William T. McGlaughlen of Warsaw, Illinois. He was arrested booked for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Police say McGlaughlen had three prior felony convictions in another state.

NKOTB, 98 Degrees + Boyz II Men, aka The Package Tour, Take 'Today' Show Back to the '90s
NKOTB, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men, who are on the road together as the Package Tour, brought the '90s to the 'Today' show this morning (May 30) in New York City. The boy bands, who were at their respective peaks in the 1990s, proved that they are incredibly viable two decades later by demonstrating flawless dance moves while delivering their delightfully harmonized pop.
Scarlett Johansson Turns Weather Girl on 'Today'
Meteorologists have one of the coolest jobs around. Think about it-- they can totally get away with taking on weather 'Gangnam Style' and no one bats an eyelash over it. Al Roker can also do a weird mannequin impression mid-broadcast, and it's completely acceptable. (Although that was really, really strange...) That's why we're not surprised that one of actress Scarlett Johansson's dreams is to read the weather in classic Roker style.

NBC Skips 9/11 "Moment of Silence" for Kardashian Interview
As if we needed another reason to hate the Kardashians...
At 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday, September 11, most national news outlets took a break from their regular programming to air a special "moment of silence" from New York City and Washington D.C. to honor the victims of 9/11. We say "most" because, as it turns out, not everyone was a participant. While FOX, CBS, ABC, CNBC and MSNBC went quiet at this time, which was the moment 11 years ago when the first plane hit the Twin Towers, NBC continued on with the 'Today' show, which just so happened to feature an interview with Kris Jenner of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'

From the Madison Water Utility:
As the current heat and dry conditions continue, the Madison Water Utility is urging customers to be proactive in helping to manage our water resources. Although the Water Utility is meeting current demand, they continue to stress the messages issued last week that residents should be smart about how they use water in their homes and yards, using common sense and best practices to avoid water waste.
The utility is always alert to increased pumping requirements during periods of excessively high temperatures and dry conditions. Until the dry spell eases, utility crews will temporarily stop routine flushing of water mains, a maintenance practice that forces water through the pipes at high velocity to remove accumulated mineral sediment.
Important ways to conserve water:
Unless you have a newly sodded or seeded lawn, stop watering it. Established, healthy lawns can survive several weeks of dormancy during summer with little or no water. If your garden needs water, limit loss to evaporation by watering early in the morning or later in the evening. Make sure you are not watering your driveway or the street.
Inside the home, operate automatic dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are fully loaded, or set the water level for the size of load you are using.
Repair leaks in fixtures such as toilets and faucets and avoid letting the water run unnecessarily for other household uses in the kitchen and bathroom.

On the November ballot, there are a number of federal, state, and local political offices. However, in Sedgwick County and other parts of Kansas, some key races will be decided before then.
Sedgwick County voters will decide Aug. 7 who the next District Attorney will be. That's because the only two candidates in the race are both republicans. It's just one race in which the candidates are more focused on August than November.
"This is the first time, especially with my race, that we're going to have a new district attorney since Ronald Regan was President," says Sedgwick County District Attorney candidate Marc Bennett.
That's why Bennett is encouraging everybody in the county to vote in the Aug. 7 republican primary.
"Anybody who wants to be heard on this election, whether they're independent or never voted before or Democrat, now's the time to weigh in and get yourself registered and you have until the 17th to do so," Bennett says
Joshua Shorter, a campaign volunteer for Bennett's Republican opponent, Kevin O'Connor, says the O'Connor camp isn't actively encouraging voters to change party affiliation. But the campaign is making sure those voters know how important the primary is.
"Most of the races in Sedgwick County this year are primary races this year and so it's an early opportunity for voters to make a stand on what they believe," Shorter says.
He also says it's important for anybody voting on August 7 to be informed.
"I think it's important for people to go out and to figure out on their own," Shorter says. "To not take a 30-second TV ad or a calling card or a mailing to decide who a good candidate is."
The DA's race isn't the only one in Sedgwick County being decided in the primary. The County Commission race between incumbent Karl Peterjohn and Wichita City Councilman Jeff Longwell will be decided then, too.
"I've heard people that say they may even miss the general election, but the primary, because it's going to really be a series of races that's going to decide whose going to sit in office, that's all they're concerned with," Longwell says.
Peterjohn points out that it's not a unique situation for his district.
"In 2008, there was a primary and a general election in my contest, but prior to that, basically the Republican primary had settled this seat going back to 1992," he says.
The situation also isn't unique to Sedgwick County. In Sumner County, for example, nearly every race will be decided in the Aug. 7 Republican primary.
For more information on registering to vote before the Aug. 7 primary, or any other Kansas election, click the link below.

the offered national priority areas because the committee's charge was limited to advising AHRQ, but the committee wants to underscore the importance of such a broader commitment to national priority areas. The committee recognizes that health insurance reform legislation establishes a process and method for setting quality improvement priorities in HHS,1 and it believes that the content of the two NHQR and NHDR should align as closely as possible with whatever priorities are ultimately established.
The Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999 called for AHRQ to "submit to Congress an annual report on national trends in the quality of health care provided to the American people," which became the NHQR, and "a report regarding prevailing disparities in health care delivery as it relates to racial factors and socioeconomic factors in priority populations,"2 which became the NHDR. Thus, the legislation states the basic purpose is to report trends and makes clear that the primary intended audience is the U.S. Congress. AHRQ has expressed interest in increasing the visibility of its products among congressional staff and other policy makers as well as other actors in the fields of quality improvement and disparity reduction (Social & Scientific Systems and UserWorks, 2009). AHRQ has interpreted the legislative guidance to mean that the national healthcare reports should report on where the country stands today on selected performance measures and should look back over time (generally the time period from 1998 to 1999 to the latest date for which data are available) to see how far the nation has come. The Future Directions committee believes it is now time to report on trends and be forward-thinking, not just historical.
Previous IOM guidance viewed the audience for the NHQR and NHDR as reaching beyond Congress, and envisioned the reports as vehicles for "educating the public, the media, and other audiences about the importance of health care quality and the current level of quality" (IOM, 2001b, p. 31). Moreover, AHRQ has indicated that today, five main types of users tend to consult the national healthcare reports' family of print and online products: (1) federal policy makers and congressional staff; (2) associations of state and local agencies and state-based users (e.g., state and local policy makers, Medicaid medical directors, health commissioners, data providers); (3) federal researchers (e.g., researchers at the National Institutes of Health, the HHS Office of Minority Health staff); (4) private sector quality improvement researchers (e.g., researchers at organizations such as The Commonwealth Fund or Kaiser Family Foundation, health care providers, insurers, quality improvement organizations); and (5) advocacy groups (e.g., groups representing priority populations, persons having specific diseases, and professional groups) (Social & Scientific Systems and UserWorks, 2009). The Future Directions committee also believes these audiences need to be aware not only of the current state of system performance, but also what the potential impact of improvement is on the health of the nation and what each action can contribute to its achievement.
Although there is little comprehensive evidence on how users take the information in the NHQR and NHDR and put it into action, there is some limited information on the number of copies ordered and the degree of internet traffic, which at a minimum suggest the products are consulted and quoted to document specific quality problems and disparities. Besides the annual print and Web-based versions of the NHQR and NHDR, report-related products developed by AHRQ include annual State Snapshots (which rate each state's performance overall and on selected measures relative to other states), an online data query system called the NHQRDRnet, and a limited number of topical fact sheets.
The Future Directions committee finds the print and Web versions of the NHQR and NHDR and their associated online resources are solid compendia of data about the quality of health care and related disparities in the United States. Their strengths have been in their use of "measures and datasets that meet rigorous scientific standards" (IOM, 2002a, p. 6) and promotion of a common understanding of the domains of quality. Nevertheless,

KNOXVILLE — You figured Tennessee quarterback Matt Simms would have watched his game-winning touchdown pass to Denarius Moore against UAB about 92,000 times by the time Monday's media luncheon rolled around.
After all, it was a perfect throw at a perfect time to save the Volunteers' season. With a loss to the Blazers, they would have headed to Baton Rouge this weekend with a 1-3 record. Let the Vols vanish against UAB and the Big Orange Nation might have called it quits, failing to fill up Neyland Stadium for any game the rest of the season save Alabama.
Not only did UT win, but Simms arguably was the Vols' offensive star, failing to turn the ball over once despite continual pressure.
So how many times has he watched the 25-yard pass that secured a 32-29, two-overtime win?
"I've only seen it once," Simms said. "Somebody showed it to me on YouTube."
But the texts, e-mails and phone calls. Surely there were hundreds of those, weren't there?
"Actually," he said somewhat sheepishly, "I get more texts when we lose."
We could debate for hours the mental health of a culture that would rather communicate with college football players after a loss than a win. Criticizing coaches with multimillion-dollar salaries is one thing. Sticking it to the players — particularly a young man such as Simms, who was playing junior college ball this time last year — is another.
Not that he's complaining.
"This is what makes Tennessee so special," he said. "The fans care so much. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
OK, that's not quite right. Simms said he's actually looking forward to playing in LSU's Tiger Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
"I can't wait," he said. "I love away games. Just something about not being liked. Maybe it's because I'm from New Jersey. I'm not used to warm receptions."
Rumor has it that the last time the Vols traveled to Baton Rouge in 2005, the team bus was rocked by crazed fans and a window was broken out. And that was before UT won in overtime.
Throw in the fact that longtime UT defensive coordinator John Chavis now holds that position with the Bayou Bengals and it's easy to see why Saturday could become ugly in more ways than one against No. 12 LSU.
"I know [Chavis] is going to be licking his chops right now seeing our young offense and our problems we've had in the last four games," UT coach Derek Dooley said during the media lunch. "He may be going home early at night."
Given the 14 sacks that Simms has endured to date — "We might lead the nation in sacks (allowed)," said Dooley — the Vols coach might be right about Chavis getting a little extra pillow time this week.
But Dooley also might be right that as this season progresses, regardless of how it's looked statistically, the Big Orange's intangibles are moving in the right direction.
"The lessons in this victory, there were a number of them," he said. "We kept fighting. We didn't divide internally. And that's important. You've got to stay together and keep believing. That was good. So I hope that's a lesson in victory we remember the next time ... because there will be more."
And there are more than Simms who are more concerned with team than self. Asked how many times he'd watched his interception return for a touchdown against the Blazers at the close of the first half, Prentiss Waggner echoed his quarterback, "Once. I saw it in Sunday's film session when Coach spent a whole lot more time talking about all the tackles I missed, and he was right."
It takes more than heart to win in the SEC, of course. Especially inside Tiger Stadium. But four games into their UT careers as quarterback and coach, Simms and Dooley seem to be advancing quite nicely.
"Hopefully, I'm proving I'm the kind of quarterback that can lead this team to a bowl game," Simms said.
By then, he may even get more texts when the Vols win than when they lose.
Contact Mark Wiedmer at firstname.lastname@example.com or 423-757-6273.
Mark Wiedmer started work at the Chattanooga News-Free Press on Valentine's Day of 1983. At the time, he had to get an advance from his boss to buy a Valentine gift for his wife. Mark was hired as a graphic artist but quickly moved to sports, where he oversaw prep football for a time, won the "Pick' em" box in 1985 and took over the UTC basketball beat the following year. By 1990, he was ...
It takes time and experience. Simms is doing the best he can. Being hit and sacked as he was last Sat. he has to be tough. So with a lot of football to be played the Vols will go and do their best. I don't know if that will equal wins these next four games but I believe they will improve. I stand behind coaches and players bowl or not. Do your best, give your all each week and true Vol fans will be on your side. Thanks Matt Simms for coming to Tennessee.
"Rumor has it that the last time the Vols traveled to Baton Rouge in 2005, the team bus was rocked by crazed fans and a window was broken out."
If this is indeed a rumor, Mark, then why not prove it as fact then make the statement or prove it wrong and don't bother with non-facts?
Lazy commentary.
