Bills Draft Outlook: Linebacker
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 24 2014 5:43PM
For as much as the Buffalo Bills defense improved under 2013 defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, one problem the team couldn't solve was how to consistently limit what opponents would do against them in the ground game. Throughout the season, some running backs that had limited success in the NFL found running lanes against the Bills.
Stopping the run became a priority for the Bills on defense, and when they switched to the 4-3 that's exactly how they approached the offseason. Will it factor into their draft plans in hopes to finally solve the woes against the run? Let's examine:
What they have
: Kiko Alonso (WLB), Brandon Spikes (MLB), Keith Rivers (SLB)
: Nigel Bradham, Ty Powell, Nathan Williams
What they need
- The Bills went out in the offseason and made changes to all three of their linebacker spots. First, they switched back to the 4-3 defense which means a true, three-down running mate for Kiko Alonso was needed.
To keep Alonso away from as many punishing engagements with blockers as possible, the Bills announced that the second-year player would be moving to the weakside, free to roam the field. Without any suitable starters for both the middle and strongside, Buffalo signed two free agents that are penciled into their starting lineup.
A noted run defender from his time in New England, the Bills roped in middle linebacker Brandon Spikes on a one-year contract. With some off-the-field concerns and in the way that his tenure with the Patriots ended, the Bills elected to go with the one-year "prove it" type of contract.
For the strongside, the Bills signed former first round selection Keith Rivers to a two-year contract. GM Doug Whaley said at the time of Rivers' signing that the team believes he can be a three-down player for the team. His contract yields a rather low cap number, and doesn't preclude them from bringing in another player to compete for the starting job.
Past the starters, the Bills have two players with some experience and playing time under their belts. After a promising rookie season, Nigel Bradham failed to carve out a normal spot on the defense in 2013 and could face some competition to make the roster this year. Ty Powell at this point is the backup middle linebacker, but is a former college defensive end making the switch to the second line of the 4-3 defense.
Without any longterm commitments to a linebacker outside of Kiko Alonso, the case can certainly be made for a linebacker being a selection in the first three rounds. The Bills tiered the players at linebacker that they brought in for a pre-draft visit to get a little bit more comfortable with some players that could be available in each round.
At the very least, additional depth is necessary in the event of an injury or two, with the hopes that the player they draft could transition into a starter down the line.
How will they do it?
- It really all comes down to how strongly the Bills feel about the prospects of Rivers starting this season. If they were to select a linebacker in the first round, that player has to be a starter from day one. The only player conceivably worth taking in the first round would be Alabama's C.J. Mosley, who the Bills had in for a visit and who is also said to be able to play all three linebacker spots in a 4-3. However, selecting a player like Mosley would likely only be done if all of their preferred options for ninth overall were selected ahead of them. Unless someone like Ohio State's Ryan Shazier falls to 41st overall, it's more likely that you see the Bills address linebacker later in the draft for depth and special teams purposes. Linebacker is one of the easiest positions to convert from the college to the pro game, so if things go awry with either Rivers or Spikes, the Bills can address it in 2015.

Best 4 or 5 restaurants in Baltimore and surrounding burbs
Don't get a chance to go up to Charm city that often - I'm a D.C.'er\
Love to get a few good places to eat from pizza to fun places to Yikes this is a fortune - appreciate any comments about them
thanks so much for your time
Pizza; Matthew's on Eastern avenue.
I recommend that visitors go to Greektown a bit further out Eastern avenue, Acropolis has great lamb baked in the giouvetsi, fried calamari and specials(if they have lamb baked with avgolemono and artichokes do not pass it by). Ikaros is almost as good and has a wider menu.
"Yikes this is expensive": Charleston. Really top notch continental (?) fare.
"Fun": Cross Street Market for oysters, coddies, sushi and beer
"Only in Bawlmer": Martick's French Restaurant. The owner is legendary (cooks in his underwear), the place is funky (snakeskin wallpaper) and you need to be in the know (it looks like a dump and you can't open the door from the outside) but you MUST check it out.
"Quintessential": Jumbo lump crab cakes at Faidley's in the Lexington Market.
"Great neighborhood place for dinner": Henniger's Tavern. Definitely two steps up from "tavern" food. I had great lamb chops there last week.
Hope this helps.
Warthog to recommend Ras Doobies in t minus 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...
for pizza, luv iggies on calvert. neopolitan style artisanal pizza. for beer and crab cake sandwich i like capt. larry's on fort ave. charleston is def. the most expensive restaurant in this zip code. last time i was there, appx. 3-4 years ago, was not impressed based on price point. service top notch, wine list very extensive. my 2 cents. anyone cooking in there underwear leaves me a little cause to be concerned.
re: tartuffe
Looking at Marticks website today, it appears to be somehwhat down (at least the directions page, and some of the other pages; front page is up).
A lot of the links say "This website is discontinued; contact..."
Is the restaurant still in business? Maybe they just have a bad website.
re: tartuffe
I don't get Pazo... I am sorry I went there and all the service staff were amazingly stuck up and too cool for school. This was early fall. Two dishes stood out in my mind the heirloom tomato salad that was $6.50 and had about 8 slices of mealy tomato. That is not acceptable in Maryland in September. A roasted shallot dish with goat cheese. This dish was really great and accentuated the sweetness of the shallots. Everything else was mediocre at best. I would not put this down as a destination spot in Baltimore.
I agree that Charleston is overpriced for what you get. What we love is TImothy Dean on Eastern Ave...fells point. Also, in Canton, Helens Garden has one of the best tenderloins I ever had. We were there Wednesday and my husband wants to go back tonight. More pricy is the Black Olive but a wonderful experience. For casual try the midtown yacht club...I think its on center st. but great burgers and onion rings and wings.
The Helmand was the first place I was taken in Baltimore when job hunting 15 years ago--and may have been the thing that tipped the scale for me. I stayed, and have been many, many times since. Afghan food, reasonably priced, with terrific service (many of the waiters have been there as long as I've lived here) in a lovely atmosphere (brick walls, flickering candles) on Charles Street. Never had Afghan food? Do a "tapas" dinner of all the appetizers--try the kaddo bowrani--a delectable sweetened pumpkin dish in a yogurt sauce. Remains my favorite place in town, among many good ones.

We asked, you delivered. Here are 15 Unexpected Uses for Aluminum Foil, all thanks to our awesome Facebook fans! This is a great collection of useful ideas that will help make your life so much easier!
My mom used to make Christmas trees. Cut paper towel rolls into 1/2-inch pieces, cover each piece in foil. Glue them together in the shape of a pyramid (Christmas tree), and glue in small ornaments in the middle.
Emboss with stencils and add to your scrapbook pages.
Crumple and then flatten out again. Glue to an old vase, glue on dull side, being careful not to get glue on the shiny side. Using black paint (like Plaid with extender mixed in), cover the whole thing with paint, then rub off. Will look like really old pewter when you're done.
Makes a great masking tape alternative for doorknobs and the like when painting, also great for scrubbing, scouring, and cleaning.
Fold into layers of 3 and sandwich in embossing folders when you run your project through an embossing machine.
You can sharpen scissors with it.
Embossing, die cuts, edgings, flowers and embellishments. You can also use it for 3D paper craft projects, roofs for houses or buildings, fencing.
You can use in your wallet covering credit cards, bank cards (anything with a reader strip on it) for security purposes to help prevent ID and credit card info theft instead of purchasing the aluminum wallets.
Use it to remove rust from metal objects - scrunch it up and scrub!
Make framed art with it. Use yarn underneath for texturing and patterns.
Stack a few layers and cut with pinking shears for rick rack to embellish cards.
Crumble it up into a star shape and hang from your Christmas tree or windows in the winter.
Use it to help hold the shape of clay when you bake it.
You can use crumpled up aluminum foil to add texture to your painting projects.
Use aluminum foil as a disposable pallet to hold paint.
And check out these great projects you can make with aluminum foil!:

Four years ago, she was a freshman congresswoman from a conservative upstate district. Today, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is becoming a national name, with talk of a White House run even in her future. Our Josh Robin has that story from Charlotte.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- What a difference from 2008 for Kirsten Gillibrand. Largely unknown an election cycle ago, Wednesday she soaked in applause from a New York audience. Then before a national audience, she remembered her first race for Congress.
"A number of very senior politicians came up to me and said 'This should not be your first race, Kirsten. The guy you're running against is tough, is mean, it's gonna be a dirty campaign. I did not care at all," Gillibrand said.
She won and caught a big break when David Paterson appointed her to fill Hillary Clinton's Senate seat in 2009. Since then, the 45-year-old daughter of a well-connected political family is now a respected leader, though without the iconic status of those who occupied the seat before her.
"Kirsten Gillibrand has a very bright future. She's young enough, she's smart enough. She's experienced enough in both the private sector and the public. And she's certainly ambitious enough," said Larry levy of Hofstra University.
Ambition for what, she's not saying. Gillibrand is polled to win a full term in November, which she says she will serve out. But a planned visit this week to Iowa's delegation is flaming talk of a white house run.
She also got headlines for her work getting benefits for 9/11 workers and ending a ban on gay soldiers serving openly. Potentially aiding a run for higher office, she's also fundraising nationally.
"We have tea party Republicans that we will take out in this election cycle. And with the help of the people in this room, we will be successful," GIllibrand said.
Some New York democrats in that same room wanted Gillibrand's seat. And former Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford flirted with a challenge in 2010.
But Ford ended up not running. And Gillibrand hasn't faced a primary, nor a particularly strong Republican opponent. So the chatter surrounds how Gillibrand shares the stage with Senator Charles Schumer. Longtime political analyst Larry Levy says she's worked the imbalance to her advantage.
Levy said, "Kirsten Gillibrand was able to make sure that Chuck Schumer knew that she wasn't a threat to him. That she wanted to be schooled by him. He was able to connect her to people in Washington she didn't already know."
And she can parlay that to her advantage in the future, whatever that may be.

Encouraging your baby to sleep outside your arms: 6 simple steps
I have a six-week-old baby. He is most comfortable sleeping in our arms. Once he is asleep, we try to put him down in his crib or bassinet. He notices this change in environment and wakes up quickly. He has never been able to go to sleep on his own. This makes the nighttime especially difficult for us. What can we do?Question:

Your newborn is quite bonded to you. He is following his natural survival instincts to remain close by: It is all he can do to ensure his safety. As a conscientious parent, you should congratulate yourself on tuning into his cues. But it is time for a change.
Helping Your Baby Go To Sleep on His Own: 6 Simple Steps
1. Transition your baby from your arms to his bassinet with a song you begin singing while he is laying on you.
2. Continue to sing this song as you lay him in his own bed. Your continuous singing will occupy his auditory sensory channel, leaving him mesmerized. He may stir, but the sound of your continuous voice and placing a hand on his back for one minute will likely calm him. He will learn comfort from your soothing voice and warm hand.
3. Gently remove your hand, but keep singing softly to him. He may indeed stir again and even begin to cry.
4. If he cries, place your hand on his back again -- do not pick him up -- and repeat the process. Continue to sing to him after he calms down.
5. If your baby breaks into a full, lusty cry, you may need to pick him up in your arms and soothe him again. If necessary, pick him up, continue singing or speaking soft reassurances to him in your arms. Hold him only until he is calm, then quickly return him to his bassinet. It may take two to three times, but your gentle, firm insistence will get the message across that it is safe for him to sleep in his own bed with the security that you are nearby.
6. If this process is frustrating you or your baby, try again when your baby is a bit older. At two months of age he is likely be more accommodated to his new environment outside the womb.

We were unhappy about the construction next door. I was very noisy on Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, we were very happy

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Hôtel confortable et très bien tenu.
28 Sep 2011
We had great time staying at BW Friedland in Paris. All staffs were so nice and very helpful in all aspects, such as room service, local area infomation, recommendations on restaurants, transportation, etc. Free wifi and breakfast buffet was a plus! The front desk was very welcoming and polite. The room was kept in a good condition, although we didn't have a good view outside the window, but it was a nice quite and spacious room (superior room). The only negative point was that we found out the water pot in the room was not cleaned and it smells too. Overall, it is a nice hotel to stay in Paris..

The hotel would have benefited from a bar/lounge area to sit in an evening with a nice glass of wine.

Rooms need better soundproofing. We had to sleep with ear plugs in and pillows over our heads. The breakfast was great, especially the eggs!!!! Staff was excellent and very responsive to needs/requests.

@orangey03 – PVC gloves are awesome for keeping your hands warm and dry. I used to have nothing but my cotton gloves to wear out in the snow, and my hands would soon become wet and frigid. Since I discovered how insulating and waterproof PVC gloves are, I have worn nothing but this kind in the snow.
I live in an area that rarely gets a big snowstorm, so when one does arrive, nearly every school and workplace shuts down. We all have a big play day outdoors to enjoy this rarity, and if we want to stay outside for any length of time, we need well-insulated gloves.
I love being able to build snow creatures without getting my gloves snow-soaked. I don't even have to go inside to thaw out my hands periodically when I'm wearing these protective gloves.

Student Consolidation Loans:
Potential Effects of Making Fiscal Year 2006 Consolidation Loans Exclusively through the Direct Loan Program
GAO-06-195: Published: Dec 5, 2005. Publicly Released: Jan 5, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-8403
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and the Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP), the government guarantees and makes consolidation loans to help borrowers manage their student loan debt. By combining loans into one and extending repayment, monthly repayments are reduced. Unlike other student loans, consolidation loans carry a fixed interest rate. Recently, trends in interest rates and consolidation loan volume have increased overall federal costs, leading Congress to consider cost reduction proposals. Under the Federal Credit Reform Act, the government calculates, for budgetary purposes, the net cost, or "subsidy cost," of extending or guaranteeing credit over the life of loans. Agencies generally reestimate, subsidy costs annually to include actual results and adjust future program estimates. GAO was asked to provide information on the budgetary effects of making consolidation loans exclusively through FDLP. We developed information to answer the following questions: (1) What would be the estimated budgetary effect of providing consolidation loans exclusively through FDLP in fiscal year 2006? (2) To what extent and for what reasons might this estimated budgetary effect change as subsidy costs are reestimated in future years? (3) How might FFELP lenders and borrowers be affected if consolidation loans were made exclusively through FDLP?
Providing consolidation loans exclusively through FDLP in fiscal year 2006 could yield estimated budgetary cost savings of about $3.1 billion, based on subsidy cost estimates in the President's fiscal year 2006 budget, but actual savings would remain unknown until all loans made in fiscal year 2006 are repaid. In addition, federal administrative costs, which are not included in subsidy cost estimates, would likely increase and offset estimated subsidy cost savings by about $46 million over the life of the loans, based on Department of Education (Education) estimates, because FDLP administrative costs are higher than those of FFELP. Tax revenues, which could affect estimated savings, are also excluded from subsidy cost estimates. The $3.1 billion estimated savings result from avoiding an estimated subsidy cost of $2.5 billion for providing a projected volume of $25.5 billion in FFELP consolidation loans, and an estimated gain to the federal government of $620 million if the projected FFELP consolidation loan volume of $25.5 billion were made through FDLP rather than through FFELP. The $2.5 billion estimated subsidy costs for FFELP consolidation loans is based in part on the fact that the government-guaranteed minimum yield provided to FFELP lenders, which varies based on market interest rates, was projected to be higher over the life of the loans than the fixed interest rate borrowers would pay. For FDLP loans, the fixed interest rate borrowers would pay was projected to be higher than the rate Education would pay to finance its lending, a fact that, in combination with other assumptions, resulted in a gain to the government for these loans. The estimated subsidy cost savings from providing consolidation loans exclusively through FDLP could change significantly because of changes in assumptions underlying subsidy cost estimates. Key assumptions include (1) economic conditions, such as interest rates; (2) loan performance, such as the portion of loans that default; and (3) loan volume. In estimating consolidation loan subsidy costs, Education must make assumptions about cash flows generated many years in the future. Such assumptions are periodically revised as new data about the assumptions and actual loan volume and costs incurred are known. As a result, subsequent subsidy cost reestimates could change substantially from initial estimates, thereby substantially changing the estimated budgetary effect. The actual impact on lenders and borrowers of making consolidation loans exclusively through FDLP is difficult to predict, but according to lenders, consolidating all loans through FDLP would reduce lender revenues and borrower benefits, such as on-time repayment incentives. These potential impacts could be somewhat offset, however, by other factors. For example, some lenders told us that they would consider providing nonconsolidation loan borrowers alternative repayment options and other incentives to encourage them not to consolidate their loans. If successful, lenders would continue to earn income from loans not consolidated.

Within every truth lies a shadow of doubt…
Set at a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play concerns a strict headmistress with exacting standards who believes that in order for students to be prepared for the harsh world, her teachers must use discipline rather than compassion. She comes to suspect a new priest of sexually abusing a student, but some doubt remains, and she cannot prove her allegations. If she charges him, she will certainly destroy his career, and perhaps her own. She questions an idealistic young nun and the mother of the accused boy, the first black student ever admitted to the school.
This thought-provoking story leaves us with questions about what has—and should have—happened, who is right or wrong, and the nature of faith and love. Audiences will debate the issues of the play long after it has ended.
"The best new play of the season. That rarity of rarities, an issue-driven play that is unpreachy, thought-provoking, and so full of high drama that the audience with which I saw it gasped out loud a half-dozen times at its startling twists and turns. Mr. Shanley deserves the highest possible praise: he doesn't try to talk you into doing anything but thinking – hard – about the gnarly complexity of human behavior." - Terry Teachout, WALL STREET JOURNAL

Pair Dresden Flowers Porcelain Candlesticks

The squared bases are intricately pierced and decorated with flowers and gilt highlights. The columns are similarly decorated. Bobeches separate the columns from the candle sockets. The bobeches are original and have not been repaired, but at some point, a previous owner decided to paint her own flowers on the bottom sides of the bobeches and to add more gilding along the rim. Each candlestick is marked by an unidentified maker in underglaze blue, and is also marked "Dresden Germany". Origin: Germany, ca. 1920. Condition: excellent with alternations as noted above.

Give ear, O My people, to My law: Incline your ears to the words of My mouth. I will open My mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. Psalm 78:1-4
We have a generation of homegrown terrorists just waiting for their 15 minute claim to fame. Raised in dysfunctional families that are too busy to spend time parenting and mentoring their kids, they allow them to be trained by their peers, video games, and TV
In most cases even in what looks like a normal middle class family, the kids are totally neglected and subsequently rejected to oftentimes fend for themselves, and then left to their own devices. I know this because for over twenty years I dealt with them in Christian rehabs and if I had it all to do over again I would have a "Super Max" lock down for parents.
America is home to thousands maybe even millions of drug addicts, alcoholics, child molesters, sex offenders, gang bangers, pimps, whores, murderers, rapists and even those who would become terrorists, not to mention the two million already incarcerated, ready to be released to wreak more havoc and mayhem on an unsuspecting population.
I have ministered to almost every category mentioned and have come to the conclusion that none of them would have been hopeless if they had been reached soon enough and been able to be healed of their pain that most suffered in their own family. Many were raped and molested by their own parents, relatives or close family friends. Left unattended to be defiled by someone they should have been able to trust.
One day in Sherman Texas a woman dropped off a young lady with two infants and told me that her daughter was a drug addict and wanted us to take her into our program. The women's program that we directed was one year long and we didn't charge for their stay, so I asked the lady if she would mind going down to the store and buy some diapers for the babies, you would have thought I was asking her for her Rolex! She looked at me with an angry countenance and said, "You don't understand, I have a plane to catch to Vegas."
That's what I'm talking about, I can't count the times that parents dumped their kids and expected us to "fix" them like a broken toy, just fix them and leave us alone, blaming it all on the kid, when in fact it was their own fault. Dropped off like a bag of garbage to be left to sort through the mess and try and patch up the damage as best we could only to send them back to the same environment, and the cycle of abuse starts all over again.
Children that are raised in a loving home, nurtured and taught right and wrong have a much better chance of making it than those who are left to themselves and their friends to try and make it on their own. For instance, where did you learn about sex, from your parents, or in the back seat of a car, or in a Playboy magazine? Most experience it for the first time on their own with someone that ends up breaking their heart, making them pregnant, or gives them AIDS or some other sexually transmitted disease.
One Sunday I was called to a home where the parents suspected their teenage daughter of doing drugs. She had begun to act strange and wore nothing but black, Goth-like clothing. They asked me what I thought and I told them to search her room, they said they couldn't because the door was locked. I was amazed that she had them locked out of her room and her life, so I told them to break down the door and search her stuff.
When we entered the girl's room the parents couldn't believe their eyes, the room was painted solid black and she had an altar with a skull in it where she was worshiping Satan. Needless to say they had their work cut out for them! Kids cannot raise themselves, they cannot make right decisions without parental guidance, and much patience to see it through. They cannot be left alone or left to their peers or the Internet, a very dangerous place where they can learn anything they want, whether good or evil.
We have lost many of the past generations to the powers of darkness and evil and have felt the effects of what neglect can do when left unchecked, if it feels good do it, Women's Lib and the Hippie movement of the sixties with it's flower power and free love corrupted a nation. The sins of the fathers are starting to manifest in the youth of America and the worst is yet to come.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
God established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they would make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children. Psalm 78:5,6
Because our fathers have not handed down the laws of God to their children we have a lost generation, without morals, and a conscience that has been seared over with the lust of the world. This new breed deal with their problems from what they have learned from hours of TV and violent video games. If something gets in their way or causes a problem, they kill it.
This message was inspired from the recent incident in Tucson where a boy obviously neglected by his parents planned a mass murder because of certain triggers set off in his brain. Planning this tragedy in his parents home right under their nose, Jared Loughner put into action what he had learned from the Internet by allowing the pain in his heart to guide his actions. The results were tragic.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold of Columbine fame, planned their assault on their high school for a year before implementing one of the worst mass killings in American history. Their intent wasn't just to kill those who hurt them or bullied them, or even to wound those that they didn't like, they planned to kill thousands with guns and bombs to make a statement by attacking a symbol of American life. Miraculously the detonators on the propane bombs didn't work sparing hundreds of innocent lives.
Timothy McVey another upstanding young American terrorist, veteran and activist came from a broken home when his parents divorced when he was ten, he was also bullied in school and who knows the pain and hatred hiding in his heart when he killed hundreds by bombing the Federal building in Oklahoma City. How could these young men carry out such diabolical plans in the comfort of their own middle class homes under their parents supervision?
I could go on and on but you can watch it unfold on the nightly news: gang bangers, drug cartels, children snatched and sold into prostitution and young terrorists planning more mayhem for America, and it's budding into a garden of violence and murder because there are no fathers to pass down the precepts of God's spiritual and moral law to these young neglected orphans. Kids don't join gangs to be cool, they join up to belong to a family because they have been neglected by their own.
So what are your kids doing, are they being recruited into some demonic ideology, a cult, a gang or just planning another mass murder? If I were you I would be checking it out before its too late and you become front page news. Sex, drugs, violence, and witchcraft are all prevalent in America and most of the kids I dealt with were raised in church, totally neglected and sent to a youth group to be taken care of by a lost youth leader that was ultimately a baby sitter. May God have mercy!
That they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments; and may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God. Psalm 78:7,8
Your servant in Christ, Tim Laughlin

As a proud owner of a Tri-Star, I can certainly attest to the awesomeness of the ballistic that you use.
What do you think are the odds that you would produce a run of Synapses in ballistic? That is my Grail bag.
What about a group buy -- if we could arrange a group that could guarantee a certain number of units.
I wasn't either, but I ended up getting a steel/wasabi Synapse 25 and I'm growing to really like the fabric. It's flexible and, well... distinct. I admit that it's appearance is more casual, however.
I wonder if they will make the Brain bag sometime soon in something other than 1000 cordura

Osman, Azlan (2007) Prevalence of Smoking among Secondary School Students and its Associated Factors in the District of Kuantan, Malaysia. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The aims of this study were firstly to determine the prevalence of smoking and factors associated with smoking, and secondly to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices among secondary school in the District of Kuantan, Malaysia. A cross-sectional study design was used. A stratified proportionate and random size sampling technique was used to select the sample. The lists of 29 selected schools with a population of 10,983 students are registered under the District of Kuantan Education Department served as the sampling frame. By using formula in Krejcie & Morgan (1970), for determining sample a total of 1036 samples was used. Data was collected commencing July 2005 t hrough using a structured pre test and actual test questionnaire. The response rate was 86.9%. Out of 900 respondents, 55.4% are males' students and 44.6% are females' students with 94.9% of them being Malays (Muslim). More ever 33.4% of respondents were in Form 1, 33.2% were in Form 2 and 33.4% were Form 3 students. The overall prevalence of smoking is 43%; with males' and females' proportions at 63.5% and 17.5% respectively. Among the three forms, the Form 3 with 18.6% represents the highest percentage of smoking. The main reason for male students to start smoking is the influence of friends with 60.3% and females 35.7%. Waiting for the bus (32.4%) was the most common occasion for smoking. The prevalence of smoking was significantly associated with age, economic status, race, religions, and family and peer groups smoking habits. Most students had average knowledge on the health risk of smoking. Females and non-smoker had better knowledge on hazards of smoking and possed more positive attitudes. In conclusion, smoking prevalence of school students from the district of Kuantan, Malaysia is low in comparison with the national prevalence. However, It stills constitutes a problem among secondary students in spite of their knowledge of its hazard, attitudes and practices. There is a need to implement an antismoking program for secondary school students.

Remember that last assault weapons ban that we had first how can they ban something that we don't have,, very very few people are allowed to have an assault weapon, you have to get a Federal tax stamp to acquire one and they are regulated very strict . The rest of us just have semi automatic's. Which people have had in this country as long as I can remember. And when I was younger I do not remember any mass shootings, I do not know what is going on with these new generations of people. the semi automatic weapons have been here for many many years with no problems until recent years. Maybe this country needs to start looking at why these people are doing this.
And when they came up with that latest assault weapons ban why did we the people let them take other weapons away even if they were not assault weapons, We pretty much just let them do whatever they wanted to do. And in this recent shooting that just happened that was not committed with an assault weapon but just a semi automatic rifle and a pump shotgun and semi automatic pistol I would be guessing they are going to bring back that so-called assault weapons ban, I think basically they just used that assault weapons name to get the rest of the public on their side so that people think we have those evil guns that are military use to fight a war. What is an assault weapon look for yourself. Assault rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First off, you don't need it, BUT a melon baller really does help VS the 2spoon technique,it's challenging to "ball" them once they have firmed up. Yes they melt, but they don't reform. Also..."

You think the editing was poor before? Just wait until you read this one. I am writing this on my iPad in Chicago Midway airport with a training hangover. And away we go:
Yesterday was our final day to go out big. I knew the day's ride would necessitate some serious fuel. Jet Fuel aka Gordo brew was available in Gordo's suite at 6am. One cup of the stuff and I feel great. Two cups and I could have a heart condition.
We departed at 7:30am with sun but the temps were cold in the 30′s. I think it was the coldest temps I have ever ventured out riding. I had all the gear and after 20 minutes warmed up into the ride. We had a 40 mile false flat (gradual ascent) towards Kitt Peak via the Ajo Highway. Everything around you is flat and desolate with the mountain looming in the distance. At times it feels like you are on the road to nowhere with the mountain getting no closer despite the reading on your odometer.
Our cycling group came together nicely over the week under the guidance of Marilyn McDonald and Gordo. We all started to work together as a team and become comfortable as a peloton. I noticed that my death grip on my brakes disappeared and that I became comfortable drinking while in the group. I learned how to keep spinning and stay smooth and controlled. I couldn't talk much because it was hard to hear through my beanie. I took a few pulls on the way out and felt strong overall.
When we arrived at the road to Kitt Peak, the camp staff (Gayle, Sherry and Scott) had a full spread set up for us before our assault began. I had a couple Aussie (they are pronounced Ozzie dammit) bites and off I went. The climb was an 8% grade for 12 miles up to the observatory at the top. Unlike Lemmon there is no switchbacks or places where the road backs off. The total ascent was to 8000′.
As I climbed you could truly see that we were in the middle of nowhere. It was very peaceful until about 5000′ when I started my altitude panting. Altitude is a challenge for my lungs and may be related to my asthma. Despite this, Tucson works for me because I can get the long climbs, get some altitude exposure and then return to 3000′ where I feel more comfortable (at least after a couple of days in Tucson).
As the climb twisted and turned up the mountain,the cross winds picked up at the higher elevations. This trip helped me to learn to deal with wind on the new frame by making sure my grip was relaxed but firm. Death grips mean disaster.
Gordo treated me to the thrill of being passed on a climb while riding his new 29′er mountain bike. Yes, I was passed by a guy riding a mountain bike up the mountain. Another humbling lesson of camp.
It was damn cold at the top. I added a wind jacket to my kit and began my descent. The top was a bit sketchy from leftover sand and the cross winds made the first 6 miles an adrenaline loaded descent. If you don't live in the mountains, these kind of descents make you feel happy to be alive after you are finished. Good thing I had new brake pads for this trip. I think I burned through half of them through the week. I also learned that a 60mm deep dish front is great for the Midwest but will not be joining me again in Tucson.
Quick refuel after the descent and our pace line headed home. The ride home should fly with the gradual descent but we had a nice head/cross wind. Fortunately, Gordo taught me how to position myself to protect myself a bit better from the wind and I enjoyed the ride home. At least until we were near an airport on Ajo.
Our smooth ride suddenly turned into the most jarring ride of my life. The highway buckles and cracks turning your beautiful sleek time trial machine into a cross bike. Throw in the debris that contributed to the nickname "Dirty T" and you have a full on adventure. As I am trying not to get thrown from my bike I found myself getting hit by the occasional small stone and at one point by a small piece of metal. There was a strip of metal lying on the road that someone claimed was a broad sword!
I was joking with my fellow camper Kevin that I had suffered a series of minor concussions similar to shaken baby syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. Kevin responded that he was now sterile as a result of the ride. He added that if you were fixed before the ride (vasectomy) you might want to get rechecked after the ride. It was the perfect moment to laugh. Everyone got a kick out of it.
105 miles later we arrived back at the hotel. I think everyone had enough of their bike at that point. I hustled back to my room and completed a 20′ transition run from the hotel. I felt very good and all systems were a go.
The rest of the day was spent packing, having our farewell dinner and saying goodbye. I ended the week with 34 hours of training (a decent training dose and a TSS of 1180. Gordo and I met and based on my fitness and progress we have decided to pull the plug on Triple T and race Ironman Texas.
We had a wonderful group of people and athletes at camp. I am very grateful to the coaches, Endurance Corner and the campers for their help and support this week. I am a better person and a better athlete for the experience.
