Insidious ruling. this thug should be sentenced to a minimum of 12 yrs. As a Nflder , I feel so sad,but free to stab who i want. This verdict speaks volumes for Newfie Justice.bleeding hearts whose famalies live behind money walls. SHAME SHAME SHAME.The person who was stabbed obviously is not related to anyone on the bench,or this would have been a totally different call. This scum belongs behind bars for many years.

Wow...a few months vacation for this scumbag. He walked up to an innocent young girl and stabbed her near her heart...could have easily killed her. Our justice system just becomes more and more meaningless by the day. I guess the next time he stabbs someone he will get more time...

2 years? For an attack that mostly likely would have killed her? 2 years? The local newspapers will throw up $100 worth of pot as a front page headline but nobody has a problem with a guy getting 2 years for attempted murder?

this is absolutely outrageous.... 2yrs!! There is a saying in NL and i'm sure everyone has heard it " you'd get more for shooting a moose"!! This is a true statment. What about this pour girls pain and suffering??? she will never be the same again and will probably live in fear for the rest of her life. This monster will be out in no time to do it again, and next time the victim might not be so lucky to live. A sick individual who goes around stabbing people just don't stop be crazy. blowns my mind our justice system is this useless, it's a shame!! God love the survivor.

There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with our Justice system. Holy moly. 2 years for stabbing someone, really? This story is a prime example WHY people are out stabbing/killing and abusing people. They know they'll only get a slap on the freakin' wrist for doing so. Google "Shirley Turner" and little ;;Zachery Turner;;..another example of how Newfoundland's Justice system in the toilet. SMARTEN UP people. Christ!

Two years less a day in jail, with three years' probation!!!!!!! That's not bad for attempted murder!!! This woman is lucky to be alive....or is it the other way he is lucky she is alive to get such a GREAT verdict!!! THIS SENTENCE IS A JOKE!!! So if the out come had to be different for this poor girl and she didn't make it, how would this change the sentence....? They have to make an example of the people that do these sorts of crimes. If they do not do something the people that these crime affect (e.g.: family, friends and loved ones) will feel that the justice system doesn't work and they will hand down their own sentencing!!!!!

That sentence is not even close to being enough. It should have been a charge of attempted murder and a sentence of 10 years or so!!

"In rendering his decision, Judge Mike Madden said while Harrington is of aboriginal descent and did plead guilty, the seriousness of the offence warrants stiff punishment." What difference does it make that he is of aboriginal descent? Does his crime not count then? What a tacky, negligent comment that the writer should have omitted and that the editor should have picked up on.

Sophia, the judge said it, therefore the the reporter reported it - no fault on the reporter there. As to the judge saying it, Canadian law (like it or not) has special sentencing considerations for aboriginals.

Review this movie
There are no negative user reviews yet.
"Kings" covers familiar territory but does so with ruthless efficiency, intense performances and a densely packed plot designed to highlight the moral issues that most concern Ayer and Ellroy.
A brutal look at police corruption that allows director David Ayer and "L.A. Confidential" author James Ellroy to pool their deeply cynical insights.
Ayer's grim police thriller mostly plays as one long dick-measuring competition. You sense that an infinitely more complex drama exists within the film's grasp, but no one bothered to stop guzzling the testosterone long enough to find it.

No secret: Rose leading Bulls' turnaround with solid 'D'
John jackson ON THE bulls February 13, 2011 9:45PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
When the Bulls left Portland a week ago in the middle of their five-game, 11-day road trip, they were a team searching for the defensive edge that has fueled their surprisingly strong play this season. They had dropped back-to-back games to the Golden State Warriors and the Trail Blazers, and their defense in those games wasn't up to the standard they had established.
As coach Tom Thibodeau put it, they weren't going to get back to winning until they got back to playing solid defense.
And that's precisely what the Bulls did in wins over the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Hornets to finish the trip with a 3-2 record. Their defensive system is built on teamwork, with five players meshing as one, and the steady leader of the effort in both games was point guard Derrick Rose.
In matchups with All-Stars Deron Williams of the Jazz and Chris Paul of the Hornets, Rose kept solid pressure on the ball throughout and didn't allow either player to get in an offensive groove. He didn't make many spectacular defensive plays but simply made sure he stayed in front of Williams and Paul as much as he could to force them to take contested shots.
It's evidence of how far Rose has come this season defensively — and why the Bulls are so much better.
Whether coincidence or not, Rose's two excellent defensive games came after he was burned by Andre Miller for 27 points (7-for-11 shooting) and 11 assists in Portland and criticized by the Blazers' Nicolas Batum for not being a good defender.
Rose laughed off the comment at the time — and Batum quickly backed off, saying his words were misconstrued — but Rose wasn't in a joking mood after Saturday's 97-88 win in New Orleans, when he was reminded his solid defensive games came after getting torched (on the court and verbally) in Portland.
''I'm not even paying attention to what whatcha-call-it said,'' Rose said. ''I know that our defense, we over-help on everything, so if one guy is out of place, our whole defense is out of place. We just have been getting on the right page right now, getting in the right rhythm. If a guy is driving, we're stepping in front taking charges or trying to go for the block.''
That's true — but it's also true that the Bulls' defense wouldn't be very good regardless of what anyone else was doing if a point guard such as Williams or Paul was able to get past Rose consistently. With so many accomplished point guards in the NBA, on-the-ball defense is crucial.
''For Derrick, I don't think he looks at it as him against Chris Paul,'' Thibodeau said. ''He looks at it as the Bulls against the Hornets. He's more concerned with us getting the win, and I think he recognizes that every night he's gonna be faced with a tough challenge. I think he prepares himself extremely well.
''Chris Paul, he's one of the best in the league, so you're gonna be up against it, and you better be ready. That's the one thing he's done all year — he's prepared himself extremely well for each opponent.''
Only Rose knows if Batum or Miller motivated him, but he was pleased with his defense against Paul, who had just 15 points (3-for-10 shooting).
''I was playing 'D,' " Rose said. ''I think that I contested all his shots. I just tried to make him work for it, and we came out with this win.''

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The news of Kenny Hall's return to the roster came just one day after coach Cuonzo Martin granted a release to freshman guard Wes Washpun.
The junior forward will take part in workouts when they begin next week.
Head coach Cuonzo Martin suspended Hall indefinitely on February 15th of this year for "conduct detrimental to the team."
Hall, a junior from Stone Mountain, Ga., appeared in 25 games this season and started 16 of them. He averages 6.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and one block in 20.2 minutes per game.

It's easy to clean without chemical solvents - even fully dried polyurethane glue cracks and peels right off the bristles - and re-using the brush is also friendly to the environment. When it's time for a glue-up, simply riffle the bristles as you would a deck of cards to peel any dried glue off and restore the brush to pristine condition. Unlike traditional brushes, this one won't shed bristles into your bead of glue. The entire brush is waterproof, so rinsing thoroughly with warm water makes cleanup easy when glue is wet. Silicone Glue Brush measures 7" long. The tapered brush tip measures 1" wide x 1/2" deep.

This dinner and show was well worth the money. The food and drinks were amazing. The only negative thing I could say is hope you are not seated where there is a row of tables in front of you. Makes it hard to see the show. But we had a great time and would go again.

Hiring statewide is expected to improve gradually in the third quarter, according to a report released Tuesday by Chapman University.
The school's California Index of Leading Employment Indicator rose to 104.1 for the third quarter from 100.2 in the second three months. It is a major improvement over the third quarter of 2009, during the heart of the recession, when the Indicator sank to 67.1. Any number above 100 suggests positive job growth. (Click on chart to enlarge.)
Chapman economist Esmael Adibi, who prepares the indicator, cautioned that the results don't mean a sudden end to the state's double-digit unemployment, but that the job growth already seen this year will continue and perhaps gain a little momentum.
The Chapman Employment Indicator is based on four variables that track closely with employment. They include the gross domestic product, real exports, the S&P 500 and total state construction spending.
Although the S&P has taken a beating over the last month, Adibi noted the stock index rose 28.1% on an annualized basis in the second quarter, up from 13.4% in the first quarter. The S&P is weighted to only represent 7% of the Employment Indicator so even with the market gyrations of the last week, it should have only a minor impact on the next report and the employment picture, Adibi said.
The GDP, while slowing, was still positive in the second quarter, as was the growth rate of real exports.
While construction spending declined at an 8.6% annual rate in the second quarter, that was a major improvement over the 19.8% drop in the first three months. Construction employment statewide has actually shown a few signs of life in the last year, with 8,900 net new workers getting hired.

Written by Dentistry Today Thursday, 04 November 2010 08:47
Four dentists from Japan, Sweden and Portugal, were the first to be awarded the certificates earlier this month after undergoing a rigorous final examination to test their skills and knowledge.
The four successful participants, Dr. Lennart Dageborn (Sweden), Dr. Nobuyuki Nakai (Japan), Dr. Yoshiaki Takanashi (Japan) and Dr. Joao Tondela (Portugal) were among 10 dentists who originally submitted documentation of previously treated cases as the first part of their examination.
"It is a complete examination in implant-based therapy," said Professor Christoph Hämmerle, EAO Past President.
"The candidates were questioned about six treated cases they submitted and were required to demonstrate knowledge of theoretical and clinical implant-based therapy. This includes basic knowledge of anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, physiology, histology, applied dental materials, applied pharmacology, radiology and biostatistics," he said.
The certification process is both rigorous and time-consuming so the EAO is initially only able to certify a limited number of candidates each year. However, it is expected this will increase as more resources are made available.
"We are very pleased to have awarded the first EAO certificates this year," said EAO President, Dr Paul Stone. "It is our mission to promote the highest standards of oral implant-based therapy and to increase the skills and expertise of dental practitioners."
As the only Europe-wide standardised assessment of implant-based therapy, the EAO certificate provides a benchmark for all dentists involved in the therapy. The certificates are valid for 10 years.
More information on the certification programme can be found on the new EAO website: www.eao.org/certification.

Edhen Coaching dba as Coach Masters Coaching is a privately held faith based company, where inspiring people for greatness, is our only business.
Founded upon the belief that each individual is the greatest asset in every organization. Our coaching and leadership imperatives are based on situational awareness and a co-active coaching model for self improvement. We have successfully applied this model to help clients create value based - forward thinking organizations by stimulating exponential growth and changing the algorithm of how people are valued and developed to serve in leadership roles. To achieve this objective, we identify and focus on the specific results our clients desire.
We begin this process by aligning absolute truths with governing values and business acumen. Organizations who have clear and well defined values organically transition and focus on exceeding stakeholder expectations. Building a winning team requires a primary focus in the getting the right people in key positions of leadership prior to setting strategies for success. The key to great leadership is humility, an absolute obsessed burning obsession, not to the job, but to the responsibility of ensuring the right outcomes. Great leaders are inspired to empower others to create outstanding results.
By changing how people are viewed and valued, leaders learn the skill sets to create specific shifts in thinking and organizational awareness. Regardless of industry or the role a leader, inspiring people to achieve great results will create organizations that are not only built to last, they are conditioned to overcome and transcend the challenges they face.
Building teams where people are valued based on character and competency, those whose sole purpose is to serve with excellence, and to provide outstanding service, requires each member to be celebrated for their individual contribution.
Strategic Creative Collaboration - What We Do
Many organizations today have a work force that spans up to four generations. Creating a synergistic and collaborative environment where individuals are encourgaed to have a voice in the creation and development of the products and services being offered, creates personal ownership in the end result.
Our three tier approach in supporting clients begins with an organizational health check up. With out a clear and well defined assessment of how and what leaders are doing, recommendations for change cannot be made. Our process includes the following:
1. Inspire Situational Awareness
2. Transform Leaders to Luminaries
3. Support Baby Boomers as they transfer leadership and segue into retirement
People who enjoy what they do, maintain a higher level of performance and stimulate a positive and emotionally intelligent workplace. We support people in becoming their best. To stimulate that process we encourage courageous visions. The is no more powerful engine driving an organization toward excellence and long-range success then an attractive, worthwhile and achievable vision of the future, wildly shared by all.
The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of thought process. The era of "left brain" dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, is giving way to a new world in which "right brain" qualities, such as inventiveness, empathy and meaning will predominate. This is the center point of the radical movement which uses both sides of our brain for understanding the fast-paced changes of our times.
Establish Organizational Absolute Truths and Common Values – How We Do It
The journey of self awareness and organizational excellence begins by understanding the future is not a result of choice among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created, first in mind and will, and created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.
Our engagement with a client begins with a clear and well defined understanding of thier governing values, operational imperatives, and vision for the future. Once we indentify what our client wants to co-create, we present strategies to reach mission objectives. By engaging people in a process of self-awareness, we build advanced listening skills required to address the challenges and obstacles that have created "blocks" for growth. We believe our clients are the experts in their own lives, and as coaches, our role is to listen and to strategize with them to help create the results they are seeking to achieve.

A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia. Special website with extra information and links to live eclipse webcasts can be found at the NASA Eclipse Website for the August 1st Eclipse
February 20th - Total Lunar Eclipse ( see map, times.): The first lunar eclipse of 2008 is perfectly placed for observers throughout most of the Americas as well as western Europe. The eclipse occurs at the Moon's descending node, midway between perigee and apogee. During the eclipse, Saturn lies about 3° northeast of the Moon and shines brightly (mv = +0.2) because it is near opposition. Special website with live broadcast can be found at the NASA Eclipse Website
August 16 - Partial Lunar Eclipse ( see map, times): The last eclipse of 2008 is a partial lunar eclipse at the Moon's ascending node in Capricornus. It is visible primarily from the Eastern Hemisphere as well as eastern South America

next day turkey vegetable soup
I have something to tell you guys and you aren't going to like it. But it's the truth and I think we have a relationship built on trust and honesty, so here goes…
The fact is, in a few days, you are going to be sick of Thanksgiving leftovers.
I know. I know. Right now, that seems like an impossible outcome. Today is the day before Thanksgiving, you are so excited for all things turkey and gravy you can't even fathom not wanting that food. But I promise you, someday in the near future (Saturday? Sunday? Monday?) you are going to go to the fridge, stare in the face of that giant pile of slowly-dwindling leftovers and say, "Meeeehhhhhhh. I don't want another giant plate of carbs."
And you'll remember this post and think, "Gee wizz, gosh golly! I wish I would have used some of those leftovers in that soup."
The idea behind this soup is to take the remnants from the Thanksgiving table and combine them seamlessly into a delicious, healthful turkey vegetable soup. To make the ideal next day soup, you have to go into the kitchen with an open mind. Have a big pile of roasted Brussels sprouts? In the pot! A leftover platter of steamed green beans? Perfect! A bunch of sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top? Meh. Maybe not. Just use your best judgement. Or, if you are leftoverless, just make it using the frozen veggies I recommend in the recipe.
A word on stock before I share the recipe. And that word is "homemade". You worked hard for hours and hours to create the perfect Thanksgiving bird, don't let the regal thing's glory die once it's carved. Make sure to use the flavorful bones and skin to make delicious turkey stock that you can use as the base for this soup. There are lots of how-tos out there (this is a good one) and it may seem like the last thing you want to do after dinner on Thursday, but I promise the 10 minutes worth of work is worth it. Put the stock onto simmer and then go off and enjoy a cup of coffee and slice of pumpkin pie with your family.
Next Day Turkey Vegetable Soup
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Makes: 10 servings
I think this soup is the perfect thing to simmer on the stove while you deck the halls on Black Friday. All the veggies help balance out the carb-overload from the day before.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 3 carrots, sliced into coins
- 12 ounces frozen lima beans
- 10 ounces frozen corn
- 10 ounces frozen green beans
- 1-1/2 pounds potatoes, diced (about 3 large)
- 1-14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 3 cups turkey meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1-15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 4 cups turkey broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 bay leaves
- In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in garlic, onions, celery and carrots. Cook until just slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add in remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until vegetables are all fork tender.
- Remove bay leaves and serve.
What's your favorite way to use up holiday leftovers?
3 Comments
My family usually finishes off all the side dishes the next day leaving only a ton of turkey to pick on throughout the weekend. Last year I made this awesome soup to use up the rest of the turkey and my family raved about it. Plus it was a big change in flavor, which made it not even seem like leftovers Happy Thanksgiving!
Your photographs are stunning! The soup looks delicious and extremely healthy- wonderful job.
Thanks, very, Very good!!!

Easton S2 Big Barrel Bat 2014 (-10) 4 4
Amazing Bat Awesome quality. Good sale, was able to exchange in store with ease. December 11, 2014
Breakable We ordered this product on Sunday and received it on Thursday. My son used this bat at a scrimmage on Thursday evening (he was the only kid to use it because we are pretty strict about this) and again at a practice on Sunday. He was up to bat and had 3 more pitches ball comes in and he swings and all you hear is the sound of the bat cracking. It busted right below where the barrel and handle meet. I don't know if it was just a defective bat or if it is a flaw in the design. He has previously had 2 other Easton s model bats and they have been wonderful but this one did NOT work out so well for us. April 22, 2014
Easton S2 I loved this bat so much when i got it... If you are a youngling coming up to teeners and you don't want to swing a -3, get this bat... Its worth the price and has great pop... Only disappointment is the bat dents fairly easy. Overall great product and i recommend it to anyone! Also buy it from dicks...they have great prices and size options!!!! April 15, 2014
Great Bat Great price I just got this bat yesterday and it is amazing great buy this the best bat i have ever owned like i said i just got so i don't know how long it will last but its made really well this bat has great pop especially for smaller hitters the bat i -10 so its pretty light altogether a great bat.

But it often doesn't work like this. Most of us depend on activity in the same way that we depend on distractions like television. We use activity as a way of keeping our attention focused outside ourselves.
Not long after leaving university, I took a temporary office job, in the pensions department of an engineering firm. I did a number of dreary jobs around that time, but this was undoubtedly the dreariest. There was a small room in the office full of shelves packed with dozens of boxes of old pension forms—one for every person who had ever worked for the company. My task was to sort the forms into alphabetical order. There were thousands of them, and it took me two whole months.

Another 28 Weeks Later review
This is the last review I will probably post for 28 Weeks Later. All so far have been mostly positive.
"once the film gets in to gear after a slow set up, and Don is infected 28 Weeks Later sends you on a roller coaster ride concluding in a suitably apocalyptic way, which those who disliked the happy ending of the first film will find more satisfying. If you didn't like the first film there'll be little to draw you back in as the film does cover a lot of the same ground as the original, but for fans, this film will be a pleasant surprise, its by no means perfect but in the end its a far better film than you would have expected with a greater scope than the original, and a assured grip on the tension, that rarely lets up till the end, leaving you physically exhausted by the time you leave the theatre....."

We have two thoughts here and they also pertain to the rebuilding of the GOP.
- Our government shouldn't be in the business of saving any industry and particularly in the business of deciding which ones are big enough or worthy enough of salvation. The free markets have done that pretty well over the last two hundred some years.
- Any government ownership in a business that it also regulates (all of the aforementioned) is simply a conflict of interest that no responsibly run business or organization would tolerate from members of its board or potential owners.

Raw Dessert Recipes
Raw Vegan Cherry Almond Bars
Fruits become extra special when they're dehydrated. Many of their sugars slightly convert into acids during a subtle fermentation and their flavors become concentrated into a irresistible tartness with subtle sweetness accompanied by intense fruit flavor. This wildly complex cherry flavor is what I wanted to capture in this Raw Vegan Cherry Almond Bar recipe. Cherry notes are further enhanced by almond flour and agave syrup. Just a bit of lemon zest and salt to bring foundation to the whole flavor package. Finally, cacao nibs add a nice contrast featuring a slight bitterness and delectable crunch. Feel free to buy dehydrated cherries or dry your own if you have a food dehydrator. I recommend Bing cherries for these bars but you should be able to get great results with any other variety.
Raw Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
I have to admit, I used to have a sort of prejudice against raw desserts disbelieving in their potential goodness. Oh was I wrong. This is one of my favorite desserts I have ever made. Ever. This Raw Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake is so rich and creamy your friends won't believe that it's vegan.
Raw Vegan Pecan Walnut Brownie Bars | Gluten-free
This Raw Vegan Pecan Walnut Brownie Bar recipe makes perfect vegan energy bars for sporting events, a nutritious snack for people on the go or simply just dessert. These gluten-free bars feature cacao nib powder that gives it a great chocolate flavor, almond butter for a creamy smoothness and a vanilla bean to tie the flavors together. Pecans and Walnuts add crunch factor and further increase the flavor complexity.

A deadly crash on the northbound lanes of I-65 over the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta on Thursday has that section of the interstate closed and drivers looking for a detour.
Alabama Department of Transportation workers are re-routing drivers near the highway 43 and I-65N junction in Creola.
Many drivers didn't know 1-65N was closed. FOX10 News caught up with a few motorist.
" Reporter: Are you confused? Driver: just a tad, this is ridiculous," said one motorist.
A number of drivers said they were headed to Birmingham or Atlanta for the holiday weekend. One driver said she doesn't mind taking the detour, as long as it means she can take a scenic route.
" We are just looking for somewhere to swim along the way. Since we've got to take the back roads… It's adding an hour but it will be prettier," said one motorist.
One local residents say the traffic around highway 43 and I-65N is a big headache.
" It's caused a lot of traffic here on highway 43. As I was going to get gas this morning it was kind of rough. People were doing crazy things because they don't know where they are at," said Dani Raee.
ALDOT says it hopes to have one northbound lane open by Sunday at 3 p.m.

Useful load vs. Payload
Asked by: Plane Crazy 29879 views General Aviation
It is my understanding that basic empty weight is always used when calculating weight and balance. Therefore, if I take my basic empty weight plus the weight of a full tank of gas and subtract that from max gross, I should be able to tell how much weight (passengers, baggage) I can bring aboard the aircraft.
Would this weight be considered useful load or payload? What is the difference?

In winding systems, decreasing the tension while the winder radius increases is called taper tension control, this can make the inner of the winder tighten and the outer of the winder loosen, thus avoid slipping.
This function can be enabled by setting the Ctrl Mode[29] to Taper tension.
The greater Taper t1[30] coefficient, the greater change of the tension while increasing of the reel radius. If the taper t1 equals to 0, the controller will perform the constant tension control.
In unwinding systems, set Ctrl Mode[29] to Constant ctrl.
Note: The measured tension can be viewed on the 7-seg display when the kg/N indicator is lit.
Please debug by stepping through these steps:
Check if the measurement of tension is correct, if not, go to Chapter 4.
Check if the mounting and connection of the proximity switch is correct, check the output signal of the proximity switch.
Set the radius measurement related parameters to proper values.
First use manual operation and check whether the measured radius is right, if not, go to step 2.
Set the proper value for Taper t1[30] and starts, ensure that the desired control precision is achieved.

Yesterday we painted a picture of roses and sunsets shining on sunflowers in our assessment of the free agency movement and its fantasy impact on quarterbacks. Today before reading further we'll ask you to please change into black clothing as we witness the death–or near death–of the fantasy production we used to expect from a few wideouts.
A chunk of the top wide receivers in the free agent pool stayed with their 2010 teams, and largely maintained their 2010 value. This includes Santonio Holmes, James Jones, and Lance Moore, although there was one exception. Santana Moss was widely rumored to be heading to the Jets, but instead he stayed in Washington, where his value will plummet when he's getting overthrown/underthrown by either Rex Grossman or John Beck.
We're generally cheery, perky people here at GLS, especially on the Friday afternoon before I start holidays that will include a sporadic trip to Cleveland (Joakim Noah approves). So let's begin with the good news before we crush the spirit of those in keeper leagues who wasted a roster spot on Sidney Rice last year.
The Good
1. Steve Breaston (signed a five-year deal with the Chiefs worth $25 million)
Look, we get it. Kansas City is primarily a running team, and Breaston will still be overshadowed by Dwayne Bowe to some extent. But in Arizona he wasn't in Larry Fitzgerald's shadow, he was in Larry Fitzgerald's darkness. If Breaston can still post serviceable, WR3-type numbers (718 receiving yards) behind Fitzgerald while receiving passes from John Skelton, Max Hall, and Derek Anderson, he's set for a leap forward with Matt Cassel.
2. Mike Sims-Walker (signed a one-year deal with the Rams worth $3.7 million)
Sims-Walker also received a quarterback upgrade with his move away from Jacksonville and into the same huddle as the steadily progressing arm of Sam Bradford. Like the child's toy with the choking hazard warning, there's still an injury tag attached to Sims-Walker, and perhaps an even larger attitude warning.
But a move to the Midwest could put his mind in the right place, and two years ago we saw what Sims-Walker is capable of when he develops chemistry with a quarterback (869 yards, seven touchdowns).
3. Plaxico Burress (signed a one-year deal with the Jets worth $3 million)
I hesitated for a long time in my decision to put Burress here, because as we've written previously there's really no blueprint for what he's trying to accomplish. He'll turn 35 in a week, and he's been out of football for 18 months.
But Santonio Holmes will bear the brunt of the receiving load in New York, which should remove pressure from Burress' rusty legs and already swelling ankle. The durability concern is certainly present here, so if you're expecting the 2008 Burress, don't ever talk to me again. But if you're more realistic and looking at drafting Burress in the middle rounds as your third wide receiver, you'll be happy with your decision.
The Bad
1. Chad Ochocinco (traded to the Patriots)
The casual fan and fantasy player will see the man throwing to Ochocinco now, and observe that his last name is Brady. They'll see that as a good thing, and that's certainly correct. Any time a quarterback is willing to attach a camera to his crotch in public he's clearly fearless and a future Hall of Famer.
But what the inexperienced young fantasy Jedi ("aren't all Jedis a fantasy?" is what you're thinking) misses is that Ochocinco is now competing for touches in an offense that spreads the ball around more than any other unit in the NFL. Ocho will be splitting receptions with Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Brandon Tate, two tight ends who emerged quickly as rookies, and Danny Woodhead, who's often used as a receiver out of the backfield.
2. Sidney Rice (signed a five-year contract with the Seahawks worth $41 million)
Just thinking about Brett Favre's season last year makes me reach for the nearest walker instinctively. It takes a genuine QB mess to make fantasy owners yearn for Favre, but Rice may have actually located this mystic land of misfit NFL arms.
As long as he remains healthy, Rice is talented enough to be productive regardless of who's under center. But his numbers are destined for a tumble with Tarvaris Jackson declared the starter in Seattle, the abandoned pivot who hasn't consistently started since 2008 in Minnesota when he had a passer rating of 70.8.
3. Braylon Edwards (signed a one-year contract with the 49ers worth $1 million)
Edwards' paltry San Francisco salary provides clear evidence of his massive fall. This isn't 2008 for Plax, and it isn't for Braylon either. He's far removed from being an elite receiver who hauled in 16 touchdowns.
With the Jets, Edwards still retained value because of his ability to be a large red-zone target. That's a role reserved for Vernon Davis in San Fran, and the Alex Smith show will lead to wayward balls, and a receiver who could decline even further.

It's time to invest in summer
|@cutline attribution name:Michele Morcey Republican-American LOOK! SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND GREEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. HYDROPONIC LETTUCE IS AVAILABLE AT BRASS CITY HARVEST'S MARKET ON FIELD STREET.
Ignore the piles of frozen brown snow and ever-slick streets and tune your brain toward summer — or at least spring.
It has been tough to get into Brass City Harvest's Market on Field Street lately owing to the weather (though they were open Thursday, selling fresh Lyman Orchard apples and hydroponic lettuce) but they're thinking ahead too, which, naturally, is what those in the produce world have to do.

The National Honor Guard Competition and Demonstration provides an opportunity for law enforcement organizations to perform ceremonious and patriotic tributes for public viewing. These teams are a highly dedicated group of law enforcement officers that represent organizations from all across this nation and Canada. They converge on the Nation's Capital every year for National Police Week, where peace officers are honored for their dedicated service to the protection of our communities. The day of May 15th is known as
National Peace Officers' Memorial Day, a day when the nation honors those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This event is the tribute these teams give to honor our fallen officers and their families.
Teams will be required to perform three different functions that will be judged during the competition. They are the Team Inspection, the Color Guard Posting of the Colors and an Exhibition Phase. During each phase of the competition, teams and team members will be judged in uniformity and military bearing. The variations of marching styles will not be penalized, rather judged for bearing, precision, straight lines, uniformity, etc.
All teams are responsible for bringing all of their own equipment, including flags, poles, bases, parade equipment, rifles, swords, etc. Teams bringing rifles or side arms must comply with all federal, state and local requirements, concerning the transportation of such items.
The Honor Guard Demonstration/Competition is a one (1) day team event consisting of three segments including the Team Inspection, the Color Guard Posting of the Colors and the Exhibition Phase. Teams should arrive 30 minutes prior to their assigned starting time. Please note there will be no changing facilities on site. Team leaders will be notified of their start time prior to arriving in DC. Teams arriving late or not prepared may be disqualified.
Competitors shall be full time or retired law enforcement officers from the same agency or organization. Each team shall have a minimum of 4 and not more than 8 members. One of those members shall be designated as a team leader; however, they will actively participate in the phases. Each member must participate in all of the phases of the competition. Support staff is allowed to aid in technical equipment and will not be judged. The team leader must clearly identify any support staff to the judges ahead of their performance.
Ken Roske, National Memorial Committee
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
There is no fee for this event and there will be a maximum number of teams allowed to participate. Team registration will be accepted up to the maximum team cut off so early registration is important. Only online registrations will be accepted.
To be announced
TBA Washington DC
The Honor Guard competition is composed of three separate events.
Preparation: Prior to the designated time for teams to begin the Team Inspection, teams will have an opportunity to assemble on a "ready line" before moving to the Inspection line. While on the ready line, members of the Honor Guard team may silently make one last inspection of their uniforms and equipment, to remove any lint, or dust and to straighten creases and gig lines, etc. At the appointed time, the Honor Guard Unit in competition shall move up to the Inspection Line and follow the instructions for competition.
When the judge comes to a member carrying a piece of equipment (rifle, sword, etc.) that member shall bring the equipment to a "Port Arms" or carry position. The equipment will also be judged, however, the equipment will not be taken from the honor guard member. The individual members are judged on neatness, cleanliness, and military bearing – plus the team as a unit, is judged for conformity, precision, straight lines, etc. The leader will be given instructions by the judges, whether to stand by or follow the judge during the inspection of the team. At the end of judging for the Team Inspection, the judge will instruct the team or leader that the judging is complete and to prepare his team for the Posting of the Colors.
Starting from the start location, the Team Leader shall lead the Color Guard Team through the following:
The Color Guard may march or fall out and quietly move to the assembly area for the Exhibition Phase. Assisting non-participating members may retrieve the colors and any other equipment as soon as the team has come to a halt after posting and exiting.
3) Exhibition/Demonstration Phase: This phase will consist of a performance that all team members must participate in. The performance must last no more than Eight (8) minutes and teams that go over the time limit will receive demerits however, teams using less than 8 minutes will not be penalized. The event time will begin once the team's leader has his team assembled and gives an audible command to the judge(s) that the team is ready with in reasonable time, or when the judges give a time warning to begin due to time restraints. Teams will be restricted to the Exhibition Area (approx. 50'x75'). There will be no discharge of any firearm (for example, a rifle volley) however; the use of musical instruments will be acceptable. Teams need to provide any special equipment that will be used in this event. Operational support for sound controlling equipment (other) will be allowed and not considered part of the team; however, any live musical or other instrumental support will be deemed a member of the team and must participate in all phases.
Teams should take into consideration the positive impact their performance would have on the law enforcements image, patriotism, honor and memorializing of this profession. This phase is an opportunity for pomp and circumstance, snap and flare as it is viewed by the public.
Teams will be graded bases solely on the judge's discretion taking into account the following;
Team leaders must be prepared to give a quick overview of their routine to the judges before the performance to notify them of special movements, formations and directions of most movements.
Teams will receive a confirmation notification email of the receipt of their online application within 48 hours. Teams that do not receive a confirmation should re-submit or contact the competition coordinator. Team start times will be posted on the web site approximately one week before the competition.

1. TEAM INSPECTION DRILL: The team leader shall present the team for judging at the Inspection Line. The team shall come to "Attention", then remain at attention until dismissed. When the Team Leader is satisfied that his team is ready, he shall take his position in front of the team and inform the judge that the team is ready for inspection. The Leader will then be inspected for neatness, cleanliness, and military bearing. The remaining team members will then be inspected for conformity to the leader's uniform. All members of the Honor Guard Unit will be judged in the Team Inspection Drill.
2. COLOR GUARD – When the inspection portion for each team is
completed, the flags will be brought to the flag bearer/s. Not all team members are required to Post Colors but all team members must
participate. Judging begins in this event when the judge instructs the leader to begin. Each team will immediately begin the "Posting of the Colors." Each team will post a minimum of three colors
3. EXHIBITION PHASE. This phase will consist of a performance that all team members must participate in. The performance must last no more than Eight (8) minutes and teams that go over the time limit will receive demerits however, teams using less then 8 minutes will not be
penalized. The event time will begin once the team's leader has his team assembled and gives an audible command to the judge that the team is ready.

A typo on mileage for the 2013. It had 20,000 miles on it
I saw on gasbuddies that you would love to buy a volt. I have owned them for almost 2 years. A 2013 that I put 2000 trouble free miles on, and now a 2014 model with 5600 miles . I definitely recommend a volt. Fantastic mileage, good looks, great fit and finish, good performance. An all round very good car. Both averaged over 80 mpg on full length of ownership, even though my wife constantly went past the 40 mile range for electric use age. If you buy one , you will love it. Don't forget , you can get a $7500 credit on IRS taxes, if you paid enough, and some states have good rebates, il has a10% rebate on the base price of the car, which was $3418.50. Of course there are also GM rebates. So the price comes way down for the volt. Check it out.

Processor Driven Verification
Technology Overview
Using a full-functional processor model to drive bus-cycles into a block or chip level simulation is a powerful method to verify SoC designs. Since the end product is processor driven, this "real world" approach to verification is superior to bus-functional models. This session will present the full range of processor driven methods from sign-off simulation using an RTL pin-level model to OVM transaction-level processor models. Included is a live demonstration of Questa Codelink, a tightly integrated source-level debugger for processor-driven tests.

Actions and Plans To Reduce Agency Staff

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Social Security Administration's (SSA) plans and actions to reduce 17,000 full-time positions between fiscal year (FY) 1985 and FY 1990.
GAO found that: (1) FY 1985 reductions were primarily based on savings estimates for various procedural and system changes scheduled for that year; (2) nearly half of the FY 1985 staff reductions occurred in SSA regional and field offices; (3) claims representatives, data review technicians, and clerical positions accounted for most of the staff reductions; (4) FY 1985 savings were 24 percent below what SSA expected to achieve from planned staff changes; (5) SSA performance data was inconclusive regarding the effect that staff reductions have had on public service; and (6) although SSA plans for reductions beyond FY 1987, there are indications that many initiatives in its plan may not produce savings to the extent anticipated.

Posts tagged: 2010 turnout
OLYMPIA — Those with long memories might recall a point last fall when the state received a waiver of the federal deadline for getting ballots to the troops overseas, and FOX News commentators briefly came unglued because they thought the state was trying to take the most precious right of democracy away from the brave men and women fighting and dying to defend those rights.
Or something like that.
No matter how hard then-assistant state elections director Katie Blinn tried to explain the state's system, FOX anchor Megyn Kelly couldn't seem to wrap her head around the idea that because the Washington continues to count ballots that come in the mail for nearly two weeks after "election day", the state actually has a longer window than most for the troops — and anyone else overseas — to get their ballot back to be counted. The state GOP's executive and central committees passed a resolution calling for Secretary of State Sam Reed to withdraw its request for a waiver, without ever bothering to call Reed, who is a Republican.
You can read about that whole flap from the archives, here or watch the FOX report here.
So why bring this up? Because a new study on the record for states in getting ballots out and back to deployed troops and other overseas voters gives Washington high marks for the 2010 election… .

The urge to cut is getting stronger and stronger. I dont want to break my 2 years of being clean but...I just want to make one small cut just one...But I know if I do I won't stop...I know I wont stop. I need help. I need someone to talk to.
What does it mean to feel loved? To feel the love of another person? I would tell you but you'd never believe me.Here goes anyway....To be loved, is to have someone care about you like no one else does. To be able to make mistakes and be forgiven for them.To be able to smile knowing you will always get a smile back.To be able to act silly and the other person join in on the fun.To be able to be yourself no matter what.To feel loved, is to float on clouds.The way he gives you butterflies, the kind that stick around.The way he kisses you randomly.The way he makes you dinner without asking or without notice.The way he holds your hand and kisses it tenderly.The way he touches you face gently.The way he sweeps your hair out of your eyes just to look at you.The way he cares about your feelings.The way he is always there to be your sholder to cry on.The way he cuddles up with you.The way he holds you in front of his friends.The way he holds you in his arms while you are falling asleep.No matter what.
