EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — It's all right there for Adrian Peterson now.
One more game in his remarkable comeback season, and the only thing that remains on the line is everything.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — It's all right there for Adrian Peterson now.
One more game in his remarkable comeback season, and the only thing that remains on the line is everything.
A win against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday would put his Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs for the first time since the 2009 season. The milestones of 2,000 yards and Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record are there to be had as well, along with a potential MVP award that would cement his standing among the league's great players.
"It's such a big game when you look at everything that can be accomplished," Peterson said Wednesday. "I'm looking forward to it, man. Most importantly, getting into the playoffs, securing that with a win against Green Bay. Having an opportunity to hit 2,000, having an opportunity to break Eric Dickerson's record in the same game, it would be great to accomplish."
Perhaps the only thing more improbable than the Vikings (9-6) sitting one victory away from a playoff berth is that they have been carried there by Peterson, who tore two ligaments in his left knee just over a year ago. He has already racked up a career-high 1,898 yards rushing this season, leaving him 102 away from becoming the first player to hit 2,000 yards on a reconstructed knee.
His inspiring recovery has galvanized a team that has been teetering on the edge of elimination the last four weeks and has put some of the biggest names to play the position in his corner as he runs toward history. Dickerson is on record as saying he hopes Peterson falls a little shy of his 2,105 yards rushing in 1984, but everyone from Jim Brown to Terrell Davis to Chris Johnson — the last running back to rush for 2,000 yards — have come out in support of his pursuit.
"So impressed by everything (at)AdrianPeterson has done this year," Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders tweeted recently. "Big fan of E.D. But really pulling for AP to break the record. Good luck."
Peterson needs 208 yards on Sunday to break Dickerson's record, a number that would be considered close to impossible for most running backs in this pass-happy league. But Peterson has topped that twice in the previous four games. He's also rushed for more yards against the Packers than any other team, including 210 yards at Lambeau Field on Dec. 2.
"I wouldn't say I'm rooting for him to get it, but I want him to do the best that he can do," said Johnson, who developed a bit of a rivalry with Peterson a few years back when both laid claim to the title of the best running back in the league. "It's just a nice story from where he got hurt last year. I sent him a text to see how he was doing and stuff like that. I wish him the best and whatever he does, I congratulate him on it and I'll be happy for him."

September 4, 2012
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority is examining issues such as tourists having to change buses at least once to get to the airport and how to improve wait times as part of a year-long study that could redraw its transit system, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Ridership has climbed for the past two years, but the growth has come in spite of rising rates and reductions in service. The agency is strapped for the cash it needs to add buses and expand routes. For the full story, click here.

2013 Nissan Pathfinder
Pricing: Starting at $28,650 for a 2013; a 2010 is just under $19,000.
We love it because: Nobody wants to break up over the car. The Pathfinder keeps the peace. Here's why: You can get memory settings for exterior mirrors, driver's seat, steering wheel, and audio/navigation settings. This means your husband will quit grumbling when he has to drive after you with your "short little legs." The seven-passenger SUV also has the option for separate temperature and audio controls for the front and back seats, so there's no more fighting over the air or the music.

I am person who really likes cartoons just as much as the next guy, and it's basically what I grew up with. Yeah, I like anime too, but for some reason, I find it so much easier to draw in a cartoonish style. That's just my way of drawing.
I'm still an "artist in progress", and I also like funny things. But at the same time, I also really love some classical and peaceful music.
Music is about 20% of my brain, hehe. I love classical, peaceful, video game music, 8-bit/chiptune, and Minecraft music! I really like C418's music; he's my favorite music artist.

In light of the recent gravelĀbig-rig disaster on the east end, it is important toĀnoteĀthat the Ojai Valley Defense Fund has had aĀmajor impact on the fight against outside-interest, big-rig gravel hauling throughĀthe Ojai ValleyĀfrom Cuyama than was previously thought. Front-line leaders of the campaign to bring such trucking under control have told the Defense Fund that, practically from the time it was formed a year ago,Āthe Defense FundĀhas come up continually in negotiationsĀwith the companies and with Ventura County staff, helpingĀto shape a more favorable outcome. The operators of the largest gravel mine, located in Santa Barbara County, have agreed not to ship through Ojai. TheĀbiggest Ventura County mine appears to have folded its tents as well. As one Ventura County official has put it, the mines "saw Ojai forming up" through the Defense Fund.ĀĀ The Ojai Valley Defense Fund is a legal defense fund which has not taken part in any direct way in the battle over gravel-hauling. In an indirect way, though, it has had the effect its supporters most want: to deflect threats to the ValleyĀĀsimply by being in place, and without a fight.Ā For more information, please visit us at www.ovdf.org, or call us at 646.1200.
The Ojai Valley Defense Fund is already hard at work protecting our community!

Hi Suza – Thank you for your kind sentiments. The Ojai Valley Defense Fund and its team are certainly working hard to protect the reasons that all of us live in this community! The OVDF will carefully consider any and all requests for support.
In order to determine whether a group and its mission qualify, consult our website, http://www.ovdf.org. Additional questions should be directed to the president, John Broesamle, at 646-5948 or 646-1200.
- November 2, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Thanks, Carolyn, for your reply. I will consult the OVDF website.
We have been on a fact-gathering mission that may help us with this proposed Lake Casitas chain-link fence issue. There is much more at stake than meets the eye.

Taxation system in eastern DR Congo conflict zone - CNDP taxation on local resources
Militias, as here from DRC, put considerable emphasis upon controlling entrance roads to cities and the road network, as well as ports, in order to tax any good passing. Here, charcoal, being the primary energy supply to cities and thus abundant in large volumes, automatically becomes a significant source of income to militias.

Illegal charcoal trade in eastern DR Congo
The illicit charcoal trade in eastern DRC, but also into Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, is a significant income to criminals and militias. Militias in DRC are estimated to make 14–50 million USD annually on road taxes (2001 figures, see UNSC, 2001 and UNEP-INTERPOL, 2012).

The charcoal supply chain
With current urbanization trends, households are switching from wood fuel to the affordable, convenient and readily accessible charcoal. Wood fuel and charcoal account for up to 90% of the household energy consumption in some countries, in Africa in particular. There exists today a vast illicit, unregulated trade in charcoal, in addition to the legal trade, which provides substantial funds for non-state armed groups.

Charcoal business in Virunga area
The multitude of military groups operating in this region makes Virunga one of the most dangerous parks in the DRC. The charcoal trade is one of many lucrative illicit trades in the park, which also include timber extraction, gold mining, and marijuana cultivation.

The illegal charcoal trade controlled by Al Shabaab
Al Shabaab's main income appears to be from charcoal, and taxing of other commodities, as well as possibly ex-pat finance. At a single roadblock they have been able to make up to USD 8–18 million per year for taxing passing charcoal traffic in Badhaadhe District, Lower Juba Region. Al Shabaab retains about one third of the income, which alone constitutes about USD 38–56 million. The overall size of the illicit charcoal export from Somalia has b...

Wood charcoal production in Africa
In Africa 90% of wood consumed is estimated used for woodfuel and charcoal (East Africa 94%, North Africa 96%, Central Africa 87%, South Africa 49%, West Africa 92%). Africa has an official charcoal production of 30.6 million tons in 2012, worth approximately USD 6.1–24.5 billion annually at the point of sale.

Population growth in Sub-Saharan and Central Africa
Current population projections by UN's Population Division suggest an increase from ca. 0.9 billion today to 2.1 billion people by 2050 in Sub-Saharan Africa. The UN further estimates the urbanization in Sub-Saharan Africa, currently at 38 percent, to increase to 56.5 percent in 2050. Among the many environmental effects of this increase in populations, as well as urbanization, is the impact on the continents forests as the relative use of charco...

In an interview is where you will need to demonstrate that you are seriously looking forward to the job, and you have to be willing to take the job immediately, there should be no hesitation in try to get a job.
Job Application Questions
Honestly is always the best policy. Honestly explaining a criminal matter during an interview may have less of a negative repercussion than covering it up and having an employer discovering it later. It is a fact that if an employer discovers an applicant was dishonest, the denial of a job could be based upon a lack of honesty, regardless of the nature of the offense.
Another thing that employers use against Deferred Adjudication is the FCRA which was amended in 1996. However, Congress passed the `Consumer Reporting Employment Clarification Act of 1998' and it was signed into law by the President on November 2, 1998. It specifically, strikes FCRA Section 605(a)(5), thus removing the limitation on the look-back period for criminal conviction histories. There is no more seven years law. This would have been an automatic relief given to people who had deferred adjudication.
The following are questions that you may encounter on a job application.
Blow offs
This section will demonstrate how to counteract blow offs. There are many common phrases used when trying to blow a person off.

November 27, 2014
DENVER (AP) - The Senate Education Committee has approved legislation to do away with comprehensive student tests and replace them with student assessments.
The legislation would end CSAP testing in the ninth, tenth and
11th grades and replace them with what lawmakers say is a more meaningful college readiness curriculum.
Educators opposed the change, saying they would have to change standards again next year once a national review is completed.
The bill now goes to the full House for debate.
Supporters of the plan say replacing the tests with a nationally
recognized college readiness and career exploration curriculum will save money and provide more information to help student progress.

I am a solo practitioner in an estate planning firm in Carbondale, Illinois. I am the only attorney in the firm. I have one legal assistant that has worked for me for ten years. I am 72 years old. I suppose it has always been my goal to practice forever as I have been in denial about my age. I have done nothing concerning the eventual transition of my practice and I don't even have anything in place in the event that I would become ill and out of the office due to illness. I am beginning to have more and more health problems and as a result I am coming to the realization that I must address the transition of my practice. Please share your thoughts.
Age denial is a common problem that I see with senior attorneys that are continuing to practice into their 70s and 80s. They often tell me - "I want to practice forever." However, eventually the clock catches up with them and often they have not prepared for the transition of the practice. Waiting too long can have the following consequences:
- Reduced mental and physical competencies resulting in substandard services rendered to clients.
- Stress of the practice as a result of having no one available to cover the practice.
- Inability to take an extended vacation or time away from the practice.
- Inability to explore other outside interests, hobbies, etc.
- No coverage or "back-up plan" - practice continuation plan if you will in the event that you become ill.
- Risk of loss of control over the future of your practice - clients - employees - exit value in the event that you become incapable of adequately serving your clients and Illinois Supreme Court Rule 7.76 is invoked whereby the court takes over your practice and a appoints a temporary receiver, clients are notified, arrangements are made, and files are assigned out to various attorneys.
You need to get started on finding someone that can eventually take over your practice even if you eventually just close your doors. You still have client files and records, clients that will need ongoing or future representation, and an employee that may need a job.
You may want to start with an Of Counsel arrangement with another attorney and put in place an Of Counsel - or Practice Continuation Agreement - whereby you each agree to cover each other practices in the event of illness or vacation.
A practice continuation arrangement is an arrangement – typically in the form of an agreement or contract - made between an individual lawyer or a small law firm and another lawyer or law firm. The arrangement describes a course of action to transfer a lawyer's practice and sets payment for its value. In the event of vacation, temporary or permanent disability, or death, a practice continuation arrangement protects the practice, the business interests of the lawyer or law firm's clients and the financial interest of the lawyer and his or her family. There are different kinds of practice continuation arrangements. Typically a lawyer enters into a one-on-one agreement with another sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, or professional corporation in the community. Agreements can range from simple "dual coverage for each other" for vacation or other temporary absences to sale of the practice in the event of long term disability or death.
While your initial need may be a practice continuation arrangement in the event of illness or vacation - you should also begin looking for someone that you can transition your firm to in the long run as well via practice sale, Of Counsel relationship with another firm, merger, etc.
Good luck on your journey!

Comments about PDP Concept Maple by DW 5-Piece Shell Pack:
This kit is absolutely beautiful. I have the red to black fade. The stock heads are just ok. I upgraded to Evans G2 clear and Genera resonant heads and these drums just sing. I can't stop playing them. DW really hit a winner here. The quality is up there with DW lines. If you can't afford the DW line don't hestitate to grab these, under a grand for a maple kit is a steal!!!

Comments about PDP Concept Maple by DW 5-Piece Shell Pack:
The stock heads are very hard to tune to taste. I replaced the snare heads (both top and bottom) with a new set of Evans and it tuned up right away. The toms are OK for home playing but I would change them before playing a gig. Great looking set for any application, I bought the transparent Cherry finish and it is gorgeous. I do wish the front bass drum head was ported though.

These drums are absolutely beautiful, this is my second PDP set and besides needing to replace the tom heads, I love them, very easy to set up and play, I like a set to look as good as they sound and these are it!

Comments about PDP Concept Maple by DW 5-Piece Shell Pack:
I purchased this kit in October 2013 in Pearlescent White. Aesthetically, this kit is gorgeous. STM Suspension mounting system is legit. It gives ANY drummer almost countless ways to set up their tom arrangements. The white lacquer finish is very nice. It has a sparkle blended in that exactly matches my DW Performance snare. That goes to show how well attention to detail is with this kit. Upon opening, I inspected the shells for hours, and there were only a couple minor blemishes-and honestly, I expected more. The wood is a Chinese maple. I inspected the laminates, and found very few black/brown dead rings. The quality of the wood was in the 'acceptable' range for even a professional drummer. The 10'' and kick were flawless. The 12'' had a few putty fills on the bearing edges which I sanded. And the 16'' bearing edge had to be fine sanded as there was a belly on the edge on one spot. The snare was well-made, but it was the only item I didn't care for. I found it to be very ringy, regardless of the heads I used. As aforementioned, I switched it out for a DW Performance snare (which is God-like!). The dual turret lugs are cool, but the chrome scratches easily. Gotta be careful when transporting these drums. Another really cool quality about these drums is that they can be customized cost-efficiently. At gigs, I play my 10'' and 16'', and at home, I add on the 12''. Even better, you can buy add on toms from 8''-18'', and they are very affordable.
As for the sound, the toms are great. At home I use muffling rings or moongel to dampen overtones. Yes, there are overtones, but all drums have them, and that's the beauty of drums. People can complain, but when you're playing a gig, those overtones can't even be heard. At home, they are, and that's what moongel is for. I've played Mapex, Pearl, Yamaha and DW, and these are relatively close in sound. All I can say is, I'm happy with them!
Drumming can be a VERY expensive hobby. To save money without sacrificing quality makes it all the more better.

Hyundai Canada had its own ad for the Super Bowl, and instead of a cheetah they went for a more elusive beast: Sasquatch. Created to push the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the "Country Drive" spot highlights a couple who are amazed at what they find on a drive through the woods. From the Sasquatch's perspective, the feeling's mutual.
The Canadians didn't stop there: they made nine "Sasquatch on Set" clips to show what it's like working with yeti. Strangely, he never takes an interest in the Genesis Coupe when he's not working, but you can check out all the spots after the jump.
