I wish I had some clutch insight for Thursday night's Cleveland-Pittsburgh showdown at Heinz Field, but the fact of the matter is that this is a big line for a game few people (outside of the gambling community) are probably interested in.
Here are some key trends to keep in mind for Thursday, should you decide to get a little loose prior to this weekend's action:
1. The OVER is 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings between these two teams in Pittsburgh.
2. The favorite is 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings between these two teams.
3. The Browns are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games at Pittsburgh.
And just for reference, 77 percent of the public is currently backing the Pittsburgh Steelers, while 64% is backing the over.
Here's the rundown for Sunday…
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-3, 3-3 road) at TENNESSEE TITANS (7-5, 4-2 home)
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
Opening line: New Orleans -4.5
Current line: New Orleans -3.5
Current betting trends: 92% of the public is currently backing the Saints.
New Orleans: 8-4 against the spread in 12 games played this season.
Tennessee: 7-5 against the spread in 12 games played this season.
Interesting trends: The Saints are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road favorite of 3.5-10.0, while the Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog.
Analysis: Beware of the proverbial trap game in Nashville this weekend as the surging Saints hit the road to take on Tennessee Titans.
The Saints have been shredding the opposition as of late, having covered the number in four straight contests while averaging a ridiculous 33.3 points per game in the process. But before you go jumping on the Big Easy Bandwagon, ask yourselves why this line has moved one point towards Tennessee when 92% of the bets already placed are coming in on New Orleans?
Simple. The books are begging you to take the Saints in this one. For as red-hot as Drew Brees and company have been over the last few weeks, keep in mind that New Orleans is just 2-4 ATS on the road this season, with disappointing outright losses at Tampa Bay and at St. Louis. In addition, the Who Dats are a shocking 1-6 ATS in their last seven outings as a road favorite.
Meanwhile, the Titans continue to find ways to get the job done week in and week out. They still have plenty to play for this season with a possible spot in the postseason still attainable. And not only that, but this team has actually covered the line in four straight games and is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog.
Before you go dumping some hard-earned cash on the Saints this Sunday, ask yourself why this line is so low. It's not because Las Vegas has decided to hand out free money this week.
OAKLAND RAIDERS (7-5, 4-2 road) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (12-0, 5-0 home)
Time: 4:15 p.m. ET
Opening line: Green Bay -12
Current line: Green Bay -11
Current betting trends: 86% of the public is currently backing the Packers.
Interesting trends: The Raiders are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games, while the Packers are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite.
Analysis: When breaking down this game, it's important to avoid being heavily persuaded by Oakland's blowout loss at Miami last Sunday. Otherwise, you'll be missing out on the fact that the Raiders are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight-up loss.
First off, lets talk about motivation. Sure, the Packers would probably love to go 16-0 this season, but this team has already locked up a playoff spot and is well on their way to earning home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. On the other side of the rock sits a hungry Oakland team that is currently looking up at the Denver Broncos in the race for the AFC West title. You know the Silver & Black will be bringing their A game to Lambeau on Sunday, as their postseason lives depend on it.
Now lets take a look at the line movement. It's no surprise to see that 86% of the action is coming in on Aaron Rodgers and the undefeated Packers, but if all the cheese is coming in on Green Bay, wouldn't Vegas bookmakers be moving this number north, rather than towards the Raiders? That's right, the heavy money is actually coming in on Oakland to cover in this one. How else can you explain the line dropping from GB -12 to GB -11?
Keep these two trends in mind heading into Sunday: First, the Packers are 8-17-2 against the line in their last 27 games as a favorite of 10.5 or greater. Second, the Raiders are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog.
We aren't saying the Raiders will ruin the Packers' hopes for an undefeated season. We're just saying that this game will likely be closer than most people expect.
Just for fun, be advised that a $100 bet on the Raiders to win this game outright pays $475 over at Sportsbook.com.
Bonus fact: 76% of the public is betting the over in this game, but the total has dropped from 55 to 52. The under looks like a pretty solid play here.
CHICAGO BEARS (7-5, 2-3 road) at DENVER BRONCOS (7-5, 2-3 home)
Time: 4:05 p.m. ET
Opening line: Denver -4
Current line: Denver -3.5
Current betting trends: 82% of the public is currently backing the Broncos.
Interesting trends: The Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as an underdog, while the Broncos are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall.
Analysis: Granted, the line may be moving against the Broncos despite the fact that 82% of the action is coming in on Denver, but I'm not sure I want to buy what the early, big-money bettors are selling. How can you possibly like Caleb Hanie and the Bears in this spot?
In two games without Jay Cutler under center, the Bears are 0-2 and averaging only 12.5 points per game, with an unacceptable six turnovers. As if that wasn't bad enough, this offense is a pathetic 6 for 25 (24%) on third downs since Cutler was lost with a thumb injury.
But here's where it gets interesting: Despite the fact that Denver has covered the number in five straight contests, the Broncos have been winning by an average of just 6.2 points per game, with three of those wins coming by four or fewer points.
It appears as if the sharp money believes that getting more than a field goal in this one should be enough to cash the ticket. Remember, Denver is just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six home games while the Bears are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous outing.
It's tough to go against Tim Tebow at the moment, so this looks like a potential no-play situation. If you decide to get down, brace yourself for another close call.

Introduction to Political Philosophy: POLS 150
This class will examine the basic concepts of political philosophy, focusing on the various points of view from which one can examine politics and civilization, ranging from that of the person to that of the political authority, to that of the outside observer, if such a point of view is truly possible. Then, we will put forth and attempt to understand the basic concepts that have shown themselves to be beneficial for understanding political reality. We will use the following thinkers as our guides in this course: Antoine St.-Exupéry, Gilgamesh, Plato, Melville, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Thomas More, Aquinas, Thucydides, and Dostoevsky
Human Nature and Heroism (3)
This class will examine the problems of politics, human nature, the meaning of myth, friendship, leadership and the meaning and purpose of war, especially as examined in the novels of Tolkein and the films based upon those novels. It will then examine the same problems as confronted by seminal literature as can be found in Homer, Virgil and the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Evil, Suffering and Rebellion
This class will introduce students to the questions of faith and reason, good and evil, suffering, the family, revolution, political change and nihilism, especially as thought out by the great Russian thinker and writer, Fyodor Dostoevsky. It will focus on the problem as it arose in the 19th Century, especially after the year 1848.
The Challenge of Modernity: from The Reformation to Post-Modernism
Thomas More is an enigmatic and important figure in history. He was a husband, father, scholar, lawyer, and statesman. He also found himself in the heart of controversies that gave rise to what we now call Modernity. This course will examine the life and writings of Thomas More so as to help the student understand the roots of contemporary problems and an exemplary response to them. Sozhenytsin is a Russian thinker of the 20th Century who attempted to understand and articulate the virtues and vices of contemporary political and economic systems: communist, capitalist, consumerist and nationalist. We will examine his life and writings with the goal of understanding better the dangers that ideologies pose for the flourishing of the human person.
IDST 425 Modern Democracy: (3)
This course will examine the problems of democracy as represented in the experience and aftermath of the French and American Revolutions. After reading a short book or series of articles that pose the important problems of contemporary democratic societies, we will examine the writings of Burke, DeTocqueville and Brownson in order to see what contribution they offer to understand and resolving the tensions that exist in contemporary democracies.
IDST 376 War, Empire and Philosophy:
Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Homer, Aquinas on Just War (3). This course will begin with a reading or series of readings on contemporary war, foreign policy, and international relations. Then, we will read Thucydides with a view to understanding the variables that he employed in understanding war, foreign policy and international relations. We will attempt to apply his use of variables to contemporary foreign affairs, in the hopes of gaining a richer understanding of the problems that face contemporary man.
The Soul and Its Destiny
Dante's Divine Comedy helps us to understand the soul and its eternal destiny. In writing this adventure, Dante also reveals important principles for understanding the ethical life, the relationship between faith and reason, and the way in which one could attempt to resolve contemporary problems relying on a principled understanding of faith and reason. Suggested Readings: Dante's Divine Comedy, Plato: Symposium & Phaedo, Aristotle & Aquinas On the Soul, Augustine's Confessions (3)
Justice, Economics, and the Common Good:
Plato's Republic examines problems related to justice and the common good that are continual grounds for reflection. Themes include, the basis of political power, proper economic relationships, the basic virtues, faith and reason, education, music, theater, and the afterlife. After examining a contemporary text and lays out important problems for us to consider while examining the problems raised in this book, we will read and discuss this seminal work of education and philosophy. Suggested Readings: Plato's Republic, Beckwith on Relativism(3)
God, Philosophy & Politics
This course will begin with a contemporary account of modern politics, such as Robert Dahl's on Democracy. Then, we use Augustine and Aquinas as well as some of their contemporary followers to evaluate the purposes and means of carrying out a democratic society in the 20th Century. We will ask ourselves what is a healthy society and what is a healthy life in the contemporary world. Suggested Readings: Dahl, On Democracy, St. Augustine, The City of God, Plato's Laws, Aquinas on God and Providence, the Natural Law (3)

Dermatomyositis is a muscle disease that involves inflammation and a skin rash. It is a type of inflammatory myopathy.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cause of dermatomyositis is unknown. Experts think it may be due to a viral infection of the muscles or a problem with the body's immune system. It may also occur in patients who have cancer in the abdomen, lung, or other parts of the body.
Anyone can develop dermatomyositis. It most commonly occurs in children age 5 - 15 and adults age 40 - 60. Women develop this condition more often than men.
Polymyositis is a similar condition, but the symptoms do not include a skin rash.
- Problems swallowing
- Muscle weakness, stiffness, or soreness
- Purple color to the upper eyelids
- Purple-red skin rash
- Shortness of breath
The muscle weakness may come on suddenly or develop slowly over weeks or months. You may have trouble raising your arms over your head, getting up from a sitting position, and climbing stairs.
The rash may appear on your face, knuckles, neck, shoulders, upper chest, and back.
Signs and tests
The doctor will do a physical exam. Tests may include:
- Bloods test to check levels of creatine phosphokinase and aldolase
- Blood tests for autoimmune diseases
- Electromyography
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Muscle biopsy
- Skin biopsy
The disease is treated with anti-inflammatory medicines called corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress the immune system.
When your muscles get stronger, your doctor may tell you to slowly cut back on your doses. Most people with this condition must take a medicine called prednisone for the rest of their lives.
If a tumor is causing the condition, the muscle weakness and rash may get better when the tumor is removed.
Expectations (prognosis)
Symptoms may go away completely in some people, such as children.
The condition may be fatal in adults due to severe muscle weakness, malnutrition, pneumonia, or lung failure. The major causes of death with this condition are cancer and lung disease.
- Acute renal failure
- Cancer (malignancy)
- Inflammation of the heart
- Joint pain
- Lung disease
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have muscle weakness or other symptoms of this condition.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Neo!
Facts about Neo
- Breed: Shar Pei Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Neo's Info...
I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Other Pets at Chinese Shar Pei Network, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Neo, a Mira Loma Shar Pei dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shar Pei for sale in Mira Loma, or seeking a Shar Pei dog from a breeder in Mira Loma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mira Loma already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mira Loma breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shar Pei breeders who help with Shar Pei rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mira Loma paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thomas Lee Walton owns Walton Seafood specializing in oysters and crabs pulled from the waters near his home. It is a family business—his grandfather and father both worked the water in previous years and now Thomas Lee works along side his brothers, his two sons, an aunt and his mother. Beginning in May and continuing through the summer, blue crabs are entering their molting season—casting off the old shell to develop a new one. The soft shell crab season is important to the Walton's business because they are only available for a few months each year and the public demand is high. Each morning, Thomas Lee puts his boat in the water just before sunrise to gather any crabs that have been caught in his over 300 traps and one early summer morning, he invited me to go with him to see how it is done.
We started very early and traveled by boat for about 10 minutes on the beautiful Rappahannock River before we got to the first traps. When the traps are pulled up, any crabs that are captured are poured out into a big tray so that they can be checked. Thomas Lee and his son are experts and can tell very quickly if the size is right and if the special coloration and markings on the crabs indicate if they will molt soon. They taught me the signs and after several failed tests, I finally started to get the hang of it. Any crabs that don't fit the criteria are thrown, unharmed, back into the river. The selected crabs are kept alive on the boat and once we reach the shore, we make our way to his facility in Urbanna.
Walton Seafood's facility is a large building filled with many big tanks that have a water flow system attached to them. The crabs are put into the tanks where they will stay in the water until they molt in one to three days. Once they begin the molting process, it may take a few hours to complete. It is a stressful time for the crabs because it takes a lot of energy to shed the skin. They become weak and because they start to emerge with a very soft body, it makes them very vulnerable. Once they are finished with the process, the men will take the crabs out of the water and put them in containers where they will stay fresh and alive throughout the shipping process.
Many restaurants receive Walton's crabs but we were lucky because we were able to get some just a few hours out of the water and very soon after they had molted. At this newest stage, they are referred to as "velvet crabs." I have seen many soft shell crabs over the years but I have never seen them so fresh after molting. The crabs begin to develop their new, hard shells immediately after they shed their old shell so to get to take some that were so fresh and new was really a treat.
Meeting back up with Jimmy in town, I gave him the fresh, soft crabs and he showed me how to fry them in the style of the area. He explained that when the crabs are that velvety and fresh it is very important to handle them with care and to not make the cooking process complicated. Because the crabs are still filled with salty water from the river, they are seasoned naturally and don't require any additional salt and only a simple dredging of flour before they are fried very quickly in a cast iron skillet. Once the crabs are done, all that was needed was a squeeze of fresh lemon and a little coleslaw on the side. The taste and texture was incredible and really demonstrated the philosophy that we have at our restaurant in New York, Le Bernardin, to make the fish the "star of the plate."
Le Bernardin is a seafood restaurant and years ago, Gilbert LeCoze, the original chef/owner of Le Bernardin, emphasized the philosophy that the fish needed to be the star of the plate. The goal is to find the freshest fish available and enhance it, not overpower it, with supporting flavors that elevate the fish to be the best it can be. For example, one of Gilbert's signature dishes is the pounded tuna carpaccio. It is a piece of the nicest tuna available, pounded thin and enhanced with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and chives. It is elegant and delicious and really allows the exquisite tuna to shine. He developed the technique, perfected it for the restaurant and we still serve it today.
It is possible to adopt this same philosophy for home cooking. The idea is to, no matter what you are cooking, try and source the very best ingredients. Obtaining good products and practicing culinary skills is the way to create great dishes at home. This week, I will demonstrate how to poach halibut in a veloute. The technique is classic and while it is a little bit advanced, is certainly something that you can, and should try at home. The result is a very gentle way of cooking the fish that protects it and makes it very shiny in texture. The vinaigrette that goes on top contains some fresh herbs and it is simple and well balanced. It provides just enough of an accompaniment to make the dish interesting and adds some fresh and bright flavor that enhances the fish instead of covering it up.

Okay, it's confirmed. My Gall Bladder has bit the dust. A week ago this past Sunday I went to the ER after having a little grilled hamburger. I had never been in so much pain.
The pain was in my lower right back, so I never suspected my Gall Bladder. The ER did a CT Scan and found sludge in my Gall Bladder.
I contacted my PCP and he, always being the voice of reason, said "no one's taking anyone's Gall Bladder out without the proper tests." So I went yesterday. I failed the HIDAscan miserably.
First, the Boost shake they gave me to drink was lactose free, but it still had 20 grams of sugar. I knew it was going to make me sick -- not to mention the fat content. I asked the tech how long after I ingest the shake do I have to stay on the scanner -- he said, "42 minutes, exactly." I though, okay maybe I can do it without getting sick.
With 18 minutes to go I had a Gall Bladder attack. With 8 minutes to go, I started foaming. I was freakin' the tech out, spitting up the clear foamy goodness that only bypass post-ops get to experience. YUM!
Anyway where my gall bladder's function shoul dhave been -30, mines was +30. This prompted a call from my PCP around 5:30 last night, "Ready to have that gall bladder out?" Whatever you say.
I go see a surgeon tomorrow and hopefuly it will be history shortly. Ironically enough, I think it's been failing for years. This dull back pain, I thought, was always a result of the gym. I even had a nurse tell me that it was, "probably peri-menopause." Now I realize it must have been from the yo-yo dieting in my past, and the wls procedure just exasberated it.
