Making wellness pay Right program keeps staff, and bottom line, healthier
Well, fall is definitely here. The leaves have all but disappeared and the unexpected recent snowfall reminded us that winter isn't far behind. Signs of fall are also seen at the local farmers markets, as hundreds of families anxiously seek just the right pumpkin for their Halloween festivities. Other families are busy harvesting their remaining garden produce or attending those famous local fall harvest dinners.
Personally, I've always enjoyed fall. While the unpredictable weather is sometimes a nuisance, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to drive into the country where I can stand in awe at the wondrous arrangement of red, orange, yellow and brown colours stretching over the landscape for as far as the eye can see.
Yet, I know that once fall arrives, winter isn't far behind. For me, the real sign of advancing winter isn't the light snow, or the change of earth's smells or the increasingly blowing wind; it's the flood of advertising for those upcoming influenza clinics. Frankly, I don't know if they're offering me a personal convenience or whether they're trying to scare me about an upcoming pandemic. Or, perhaps, it's just that I simply hate getting a needle. Let's face it, it's my duty to stay healthy and avoid being ill at any time, let alone being ill during the winter. So, off I go to the influenza clinic. To me, it's a personal safety decision. What about you?
On the other hand, I find most individuals fail to realize that personal illness also creates a safety issue for employers. For instance, have you ever thought about the impact your illness can have on colleagues in the workplace? I'm sure you've seen situations where multiple members of one entire department have been quickly struck down with the same illness. Just like dominoes, employees in department after department experience the same problem -- lower productivity and/or absence due to illness.
However, it isn't just employee absence that causes problems. Let's face it, when employees aren't feeling well, their work productivity is low, work doesn't get done, or customers don't get served. When the illness finally forces the employee to stay home, the remaining employees may feel overwhelmed with extra work and soon, they too become ill. So, if employees don't get sick with influenza or the common cold, they might become ill from the stress of overwork such that time off work, from their point of view, is the only saving grace.
These employee-related winter health issues have a significant cost to the employer. And that's in addition to the many other illnesses being exhibited in the workplace that you might not be aware of. For instance, the most recently released Ipsos Reid employee health study showed that one in five Canadians report suffering from depression. With that kind of statistic, it's no wonder that employer costs are hovering around $51 billion annually for mental-health issues alone.
That's a ton of dollars to be borne on the back of employers. Yet, where does responsibility for employee health lie? Is it only an employee's responsibility? What role should employers play if any? After all, employers have no control over what employees do when off work as they cannot interfere with personal, private lives.
Well, frankly, employers aren't waiting to engage in a debate about who's responsible for employee health. That's because company health-care costs are escalating so quickly that employers are simply taking responsibility for whatever steps they can take in the workplace to reduce their employee health-benefit costs.
Irrespective of health-care costs, employers are also well aware that a healthy and fully engaged employee is much more productive and makes a much more significant contribution to company profitability.
Studies also show that 70 per cent of all medical costs are related to smoking, physical inactivity, food choices, and stress. As a result, when corporations implement employee wellness programs, they often start to tackle these problems first. This includes removing sugar-laced drinks from their vending machines, setting no-smoking policies and offering smoking cessation programs as well as fitness and stress management classes.
Corporations also often offer employees the opportunity for a health risk assessment and in maintaining statistics, they can track problem areas, offer preventive as well as medical care solutions and assess the corporate return on investment. Still others provide educational programming to help employees understand that being healthy is essentially an investment in their financial future since poor health will impact on their earning potential.
The concept of workplace wellness has been around for several years and more and more organizations are implementing programs that are directed to improving employee health and cutting costs. These initiatives appear to be working as reports suggest companies are experiencing savings ranging from $200 to $500 per employee.
These numbers are impressive and might encourage others to develop a plan for implementing their own wellness programs. However, there is considerable planning that needs to be done before any implementation can take place. It is not as simple as allocating a special room for exercise equipment; specific attention needs to be paid to objectives and methodologies.
First of all, you need to get employee and senior executive support. Employees need to see value and understand how such a program will benefit them. Employers on the other hand, want to see some figures on potential cost savings. You will also need to establish a team of professionals to oversee the development and implementation or programming plans as one person cannot do it alone. This should include your human resource manager, a workplace health and safety professional and a champion from the ranks of senior management.
In developing a workplace wellness program, team leaders need to be cognizant of local legislation particularly with respect to the privacy of employee information, mandatory versus voluntary participation, the application of employee rewards or bonuses, and the application of penalties for non participation or employee fees.
Your program also needs to be grounded in fact and so it will be necessary to conduct some preliminary screening and assessment of employees as well as a statistical assessment of your current state with respect to absenteeism and accident rates, turnover rates etc.
With winter just around the corner, colds and influenza illnesses will ultimately strike your workplace. Now is the time to get your program started.

As seasons change, you may notice that your nails do too. The bitter winter may have taken a toll on your nails causing brittleness, pealing and breaking, but spring has sprung and what better time to get them in tip top shape? Nail care products alone aren't going to give you healthy nails. It takes good nutrition and proper care to keep them strong and beautiful. Although regular manicures can help, be sure that you are having them done by a nail technician who cleans and sterilizes her tools. Further, be sure that she doesn't remove your cuticles. Cuticles are important in protecting your nails and avoiding infection. The below guidelines will help you care for your nails the best that you can so that they look their best for the spring and summer.

It has been presumed within bioethics that the benefits and risks of treatments can be assessed independently of information disclosure to patients as part of the informed consent process. Research on placebo and nocebo effects indicates that this is not true for symptomatic treatments. The benefits and risks that patients experience from symptomatic treatments can be shaped powerfully by information about these treatments provided by clinicians. In this paper we discuss the implications of placebo and nocebo research for risk–benefit assessment and informed consent.

BorgWarner to track North American supply base through software
BorgWarner Inc. said Tuesday it will launch proprietary software to track its supply base in North America.
Originally launched in Germany and Ireland in 2012, BorgWarner's Supplier Performance Monitor is designed to create supply chain efficiencies by monitoring supplier performance and forecast trends, the company said in a press release.
The monitoring system uses the hidden Markov model, a statistical model for processes, to evaluate data, including orders, deliveries and cancellations, as well as financial and quality data.
The supplier will launch the software early this year in North America and other parts of Europe.
The system has been used by more than 90 percent of BorgWarner's Beru Systems subsidiary suppliers, reducing delivery times by 60 percent and a 33 percent decrease in faulty parts.
Supplier tracking software is the latest trend in the industry's quest for efficiency and response time.
Southfield-based Automotive Industry Action Group is expected to launch a new Web-based database in March for identifying the physical movement of finished goods, parts and materials through the automotive supply chain.
The initial phase of the program, Supply Safe-Supplier Security Assessment, will map shipments via the U.S. Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification program.
However, the AIAG is hopeful the subscription-based service will expand to track other aspects of the supply base, J. Scot Sharland, executive director of AIAG, told Crain's.

Comments about MaddieBrit Products Grabgreen Wet Dryer Sheets - Fragrance Free - 32 Dryer Sheets:
These dryer sheets are great. They leave a light, fresh scent, even though they are suppose to be fragrance free, and the clothes, especially towels are soft and fluffy. The directions state that one sheet can be used for two separate loads, however I have found that doesn't work to well. So I use just one sheet per load, and save them for the towels and sheets

What do you think of the
Carve Designs Mission Long Short - Women's
? Share a...
So so
These just don't fit me right. I have a boyish figure and even though these fit me perfect in the legs and hips, they are tight on my waist. I still wear them, but they are not my favorite, I would have to order a size larger than I normally wear for them to fit comfortably in my waist, then they would be too big in the other areas. If you're curvy, I imagine these would fit great.
Kate Williamson
Shorts that fit!!!
So, I have a hard time finding shorts that fit right. I am a 4 in the waste but I feel like an 6 in the legs. I am a cyclist/runner/skier/hiker and as such have muscular thighs and butt--it's not like they're huge, but they don't fit into shorts made for juniors, that's for sure. So when I tried on these shorts, I immediately did a little happy dance for the fit! Because they didn't just fit, they look fab, too!

SailorPam, I love the pic's in your site! I'm quite familiar with 'bobbing' we do that at Lake Shasta, with the same hand cooler! We're really sick, we have two boats. The wakeboard boat goes to Shasta for the season and we go once a month for about 10 days. I love to hydrofoil and that's a great lake for it.
Really nice boat (love the name) and the one pic sure looks like a party! Wish I'd been there...
I really enjoyed the pictures you have. As a matter of fact I like them soooooo much that I added you to my 'blogroll'. Maybe some of my readers will come in.
Sorry you're having to lay up for winter. We're stalling and hoping the weather will turn enough that we can get in a few more trips. Although, it was pretty cold last night. We're in Portland just east of the I-5 bridge going into Vancouver, WA. We have quite a few bridges. I just love it when "they" have to open one for me. I get a sick pleasure out of blasting that horn at them....
Melrna, I was thinking about the jump in boat sizes you had; 22 to 33?? Holy Moly! I'll bet the first time at the helm was pretty intense. I can't imagine an increase of that size all at once. I like Hunters although I've never sailed on one. My hubby wanted to get 40-45 feet of blue-water when we moved up, I fought hard for something smaller. We bought 30' of off-shore. Which is great for where we're boating right now. Oddly enough, he agrees now that we made a good move for size and cost.
Melrna, you said you have a blog? What's the address? I keep trying to find lady sailor blogs but can't. SailorPam has a nice spot, I'd like to see yours. Thanks!
So, come on girlies...who else has a story? Go away guys!

i'm shocked it's only got 3.32 , i'll give it a few 5's in the days to come for ya!
I'm conflicted.
I love the idea of this game and what it's trying to do. I feel like there is a brilliant strategy/defence game in here somewhere, but it's just not quite right.
The controls feel awkward, I don't like the snap-to aspect when selecting things and it annoyed me that I couldn't order my archers in the fort to garrison the tower i'd built. Instead I had to train them as peasants, walk them over to the tower and then retrain them as archers. At which point some went in the tower, some went back to the fort (fair enough) and three guys decided to float in the air above the battlefield?!
All in all, the control aspect of this game is very clumsy and there are a few bugs that need ironing out, but on the whole it is enjoyable and worth a look.
Didn't realize two hours have past, I have to go to bed. This game is great I love it's challenges and strategies the use of scenery as a defense is cool too. The only thing that bugs me is that it limits where you can build your walls which can be very inconvenient at times
slow pace, too easy?
I tended to have upgrades before the instructions said to get them and spent a lot of time just waiting for people to move places and other people to die. Speed didn't seem to differ between low quality or high quality. I think the idea is pretty good, and execution is close, just needs more balance...

The wish list! What s the subject you would most like to see, plan, kit or RTF.
Being a little interested in Waterplanes....
I thought we might throw down the gauntlet a little to the designers ....whatever floats your boat...........all be that flying-boat for me Number one has to be a plan for a large electric Saro Princess Number two either the Latecoere 631 or Short Sarafand ....I waver Third but by no means least and possibly the most achievable the Piaggio 166 Gull /Treker Royal gull. What say you all?? Information as usual to be found here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=448080&page=3 |

My Be-200 is back at the top of my completion list after some postponements.... Hopefully, for SMALL 2007 in early June.
But a kit would be pretty cool... I like all the Beriev flying boats. A good Sunderland kit would be great to have. A Curtiss Seagull or Curtis HS2 would also be great. I got to see both of these aircraft on a visit to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada recently. |

Thomas B Peter Angus built a nice small to medium sized Sunderland.......given all its complex curves.a good one to have pre cut parts for .
I'd love to see a large full scale gas turbine Beriev done your EDF version looks as though its well advanced TB. My favourite Dornier is the D26 push pull but its run a close second by the experimental 112 pusher. Ive never seen a flying model of the Ant22 .plenty of SM 55's but non of the russian twin hull giants...not even a plan good call. For the Curtis I know thers a part developed free CAD plan available the Bv is a good Ivan style build as is the Short Shetland.

Anyone had any experience with Eucalyptus honey? I got 6 kg (13.2 lbs) of it, should I do a traditional or add fruit?
Be careful using this honey variety. Most of the online comments I've read were quite unhappy with the results - strong medicinal favors.
Visit me at the Brew Brothers
If you see a web site that says don't use eucalypt honeys (tons of different varietals) or even this that say dont use bread yeast. Run! the other way and never visit that place or listen to that persons advice again. Since moving to Australia I have been brewing meads with both eucalyptus dark honeys like Stringy Bark Honey along with the local bread yeasts sold (also ale yeasts like US-05, as well as the wine yeasts like D47) and have have excellent results. I did not de-clorinate the water with some meads and still got excellent results. There are so many varietals of Eucalypts to go through and even the venerable The Compleat Meadmaker book is completeley useless when it comes to Eucaluptus honey data and useage advice. Whomsoever starts such advice is proven wrong and wrong again time over the more don't listen and do my own first hand experience brewing meads with them. Try it and learn for yourself firsthand experience trumls heresay everytime and shows you who/what the experts really are. Cheers, P
Thanks for the comments. pdilley, have you tried the eucalyptus Honey from Superbee before? That's the honey which I got.
I guess it depends of the type, here in NY the only type I've seen has a warning label that reads: for topical application only. So I guess try a spoonful and if the smell and taste doesnt make you gag its worth a shot in mead.
every successful recipe i've seen using this honey, its always 1 part eucalyptus honey to 2-3 parts wildflower honey. its just too potently flavored/aroma'd. i've used eucalyptus oil before and WOW is that a pungent odor.
Im in Australia and buying all my honeys at a local farm from a 1,200+ hive primary producer. Non pastuerised and fresh from the harvest. All the rules are out the window on dark and light honeys, Ive had darks with delicate flavor and lights with strong flavor. My ironbark eucalypt variety is rather delicate and my stringybark eucalypt is rather strong. Im brewing 100% (no diluted mixtures) eucalypts in Mead and have not found any of the problems associated with them. One problem you could be facing is a blended pastuerised multi-varietal mixure being sold to you under the name eucalyptus honey. Without a proper varietal its going to be a bit of a crap shoot as to what to expect but the standard dilution ratios in water and a taste will give you an indicator of where its going to be headed. There are over 500 species of Eucapytpus and many more hybrids so judge anything labelled Eucalyptus honey wih a wary eye unless it tells you the exact variety. The most popular varieties of Eucalyptus honey locally are: StringyBark Ironbark Yellow Box Red River Gum Salvation Jane White Box Spotted Gum Mallee Leatherwood There is no scent of eucalyptus/flavour in the honey. You have adulterated honey if you do. And no, people don't slather it on their skin here so you have honey and eucapyptus oil mixture for cosmetic use it seems. Cheers, P
Wow pdilly, you're the eucalyptus expert.

Winds: Northwest 5
Peachtree City's disc golf course will be closed for renovations starting April 22, officials said.
Local Boy Scout Alan Bowers will refurbish the tee boxes and will remove the baskets so they can be sandblasted, powder coated and reinstalled, city officials said.
The course is located across Willowbend Road from City Hall adjacent to the First Presbyterian and First Baptist church campuses along Ga. Highway 54. Nestled in the woods, it may be one of the stealthiest recreation opportunities in Peachtree City.
The renovations are expected to be complete by May 27. Read More»
Peachtree City is gearing up for the future, and officials are hoping for a significant amount of public input to help shape the vision.
This Sunday the ONE Peachtree City planning campaign will kickoff at City Hall from 2-4 p.m. in the new community room on the lower level.
The process is a visioning exercise as the city looks at what the future holds for residential and commercial development, redevelopment issues, and more as the city continues to evolve. Read More»
Changes are coming to the Fayetteville sign ordinance. The City Council on April 5 heard the first reading of a proposed ordinance change that will give businesses the ability to enhance the way they advertise by altering the way square footage is calculated and, in some cases, allowing two wall signs instead of the one now permitted.
The proposed changes were initially discussed at the City Council retreat held on March 9. Read More»
The political realignment last November that installed three new members of the Fayetteville City Council played out last week in three veteran members of city boards being expelled in 3-to-2 votes and three new members voted in by the same margin.
Out are longtime Planning Commissioner Allan Feldman, Main Street Tourism board member Mike Hofrichter and Downtown Development Authority board member Al Hovey-King.
In are Kenneth Collins, Emily Poole and Mickey Edwards, respectively. Read More»

Members of the local Dixie Wing of the Commemorative Air Force were recognized at Thursday's Peachtree City Council meeting for their upcoming annual World War II Heritage Days event April 14-15. Mayor Don Haddix read a proclamation honoring the Dixie Wing for its work on the project, which is dedicated to re-creating the World War II experience in sights, sounds and educational presentations in honor of those who served in the military campaign.

Fast-track urged for court fixes at other locations in city
Peachtree City staff is putting the finishing touches on a list of improvements to be funded with the remaining revenues from a $3 million facilities improvement bond issued several months ago.
At Thursday's city council meeting, a proposal to repair the roof over the covered courts at the tennis center and also fix the facility's HVAC problems was approved at a cost of $203,000.
The cost represented a $32,000 savings from the original staff proposal because of trims recommended by work from City Engineer David Borkowski, said Community Services Director Jon Rorie. Read More»
Peachtree City has selected a longer-lasting approach to repave Dividend Drive, the main artery in the city's industrial park.
It will cost $1.4 million to redo the whole road, but city staff was skeptical of a cheaper job to patch problem sections instead. The patch job could have damaged the adjacent "good" sections of pavement.
Moreover, an engineering study of the underside of the road determined that there is no adequate base layer under some sections of the road, staff reported. Read More»
The Senoia City Council voted April 2 to institute a measure designed to provide additional safety for the large crowds that regularly attend venues such as the parades on Memorial Day and at Christmas. The council approved the expenditure of up to $8,000 to purchase crowd control barriers that will line the parade route on Main Street.
City Administrator Richard Ferry in recommending the purchase of the barriers commented that the number of people attending the parades continues to increase while some of the floats are getting larger. Read More»
There are only 10 lots left at the Senoia Cemetery. A move by the Senoia City Council at the April 2 meeting is expected to lead to a lower contract price to accommodate the cemetery's expansion that would provide more than 1,000 additional grave sites.
The council agreed to accept the $84,857 low bid by Catos Contracting with the understanding that City Administrator Richard Ferry would work with the company to look at various value engineering aspects of the project that could lead to a re-negotiated cost. Read More»

Most questions about advanced ordering involve a few prioritized fields, but here's a different problem.
I have a series of projects ordered by title, and these projects are assigned to individuals in the company. I want to be able to have each individual's projects float to the top for that individual.
This is not a request to order by assigned_individual
then job_title
(because this would mess up the ordering of all projects that aren't mine). This is a request to have records still ordered principally by job_title
but to have an override such that records with, let's say, assigned_individual_id = 3

Ready for some Bedrock fun? Well you're in luck, because Will Ferrell is bringing back The Flinstones.
Per a report from The Hollywood Reporter, the "Anchorman" star is teaming up with Adam McCay to produce the flick with Chris Henchy, who co-wrote "The Campaign."
They made us laugh in "Step Brothers" and "Talladega Nights," and now Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are at it again!
According to Deadline, the hilarious duo are in talks to star in Sony's comedy "Border Guards."
Heading out for a day of filming in New Orleans, LA Will Ferrell sported some fun, casual duds on Wednesday (March 26).
Looking good in a gray robe, the "Anchorman" star wore a white tee and matching pants, completing his look with a pair of brown Ugg boots as he made his way to the set of his upcoming movie, "Get Hard."
Getting an early start on filming their new film "Get Hard," Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart showed up to the set in New Orleans on Monday (March 17).
The "Anchorman" actor and his "Ride Along" co-star appeared to be in good spirits as they began working on the opening scenes of the upcoming comedy.
Giving fans even more to laugh about, the blooper reel for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" just hit the web today (March 15)!
After teaming up on "The Tonight Show" last week, the unlikely comic duo of Will Ferrell and Michelle Obama reunited in a new public service announcement.
Promoting the First Lady's Let's Move campaign to fight childhood obesity, the video features the pair conducting a focus group with kids.
Ever since his days on "Blades of Glory" Will Ferrell has had a lust for ice, and during his interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last night (February 20), he flaunted his figure skating skills.
The "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" star expressed his (fake) regret that he wasn't included on Team USA for the 2014 Sochi Games.
Millions of movie fans have already enjoyed the second installment of Ron Burgundy's greatness, and now "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" is new and improved.
On February 28th, the "super-sized R-Rated version" of the flick will hit theaters including 763 new jokes (hence the new restricted rating).

Terreform ONE has announced the finalists of the "ONE Prize 2012: BLIGHT TO MIGHT" – an international design competition powered by the idea that social, ecological, and economic struggles can simultaneously be addressed through collaborative action and innovative design. Situated in the context of a struggling U.S. economy and the tension of stagnant unemployment, ONE Prize 2012 called to put design in the service of the community, to reinvigorate deindustrialized and depressed urban areas, and to repurpose spaces for economic growth and job creation.
The competition attracted 115 teams and 655 team members from more than 20 countries and five continents. The Jury will select the final winners in late September.
The twenty, ONE PRIZE 2012 finalists are:
LEGO Turns 80, Remains Architecturally Awesome
"Legos were the ultimate building tool, capable of making the most advanced space ships, powerful vehicles, impressive buildings, and incredible cities. As a child, everyone I knew loved Legos, and this never seemed to change. In high school, whenever a conversation with friends happened to shift upon Legos, everyone would gleefully reminisce about their days making fantastic structures out of those awesome little building blocks. [...] No doubt Legos played a supporting role in my growth in appreciation for architecture." - Architect Albert Lam, in a Blog post for the LPA
When you ask architects what inspired them, almost all (according to one study, 99%) can trace the calling back to the same, simple origin: playing with their LEGO bricks.
The LEGO Group, which turns 80 today, can boast that there are approximately 62 LEGO bricks for ever person on earth. However, it wasn't until 1958, when the newly-plastic LEGO bricks incorporated the classic knob-and-tube-connecting-system, that they overtook the Froebel block (Frank Lloyd Wright's toy of choice) to become the massively popular architectural inspiration they are today.
But while the influence of LEGO on architects may be self-evident, not many know about Architecture's contribution to LEGO. In fact, only through the lens of Architecture, can you truly understand why LEGO merits its bold moniker as "The Toy of the Century."
Find out Architecture & LEGOs unlikely relationship, after the break…

Don't overlook these title game plots
Field conditions, big-play CBs among under-the-radar storylines worth monitoring
Rex Ryan, Bart Scott, Antonio Cromartie and the rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers should keep the conference championship games well above the radar.
But there are plenty of stories operating below the radar.
1. Field conditions: Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings launched the criticisms of the slick surface at Soldier Field on Monday with this comment: "It's rough. It's probably one of the worst, probably the worst, in the league." Heinz Field in Pittsburgh has its own problems. Kickers consider it one of the toughest places in the league. Certain parts of the field there make it difficult for kickers to plant and make consistent kicks. If the AFC Championship Game comes down to field goals, it's Nick Folk, who has struggled for the New York Jets, going against Shaun Suisham, who replaced Jeff Reed for the Pittsburgh Steelers at midseason. Ownership for both teams believes in having grass fields, but maintaining those fields through January has been difficult.
Soldier Field is next to Lake Michigan. Heinz Field is along the Ohio River. Each November, Heinz Field needs to be resodded after the grass is ripped apart by the Steelers, the Pittsburgh Panthers and high school teams in championship games. Still, the Steelers have home-field advantage because of their fans, the quality of the team and a roster that is used to the conditions. The Bears lose a little of the home-field edge because their Cover 2 defense is built for speed, and the slick field takes away some of that speed. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher ripped the playing surface. The Chicago Park District, which runs the stadium, had to call a press conference after quarterback Jay Cutler was critical of the field.
2. The backfield shuffle: In the NFC title game, Cutler and Aaron Rodgers will be above the radar, but the running back who establishes himself first could determine which team advances to the Super Bowl. Matt Forte of the Bears is the classic under-the-radar running back. He's not as powerful as Adrian Peterson or as explosive as Chris Johnson as a pass-catcher, but Forte is good at everything. Since midseason, his running has been a big key for the Bears, who have surprisingly run more than they have passed in the second half of the season. Forte had 1,069 yards rushing, a 4.5-yard average in the regular season, and caught 51 passes for 547 yards.
James Starks of the Packers -- a rookie -- has sparked a previously nonexistent running game. He had 123 yards in the Packers' first-round playoff win, getting 61 of them out of an inverted wishbone formation. Against the Atlanta Falcons last week, he had 66 yards on 25 carries.
3. Centers of attention: Jets center Nick Mangold has gone to three consecutive Pro Bowls and has been considered the best center in football for the past couple of years, but those days may be numbered. Maurkice Pouncey, the Steelers' first-round pick in 2010, made the Pro Bowl as a rookie and already has some people saying he might be the best in the league. Because both teams are physical at the line of scrimmage in their 3-4 schemes, center is a vital position. The center has to line up against bigger nose tackles. The successful 3-4 defenses are the ones in which the nose tackle draws double-team blocks, but if the center is big and tough enough to handle the nose tackle one-on-one, he frees up a guard to take on a linebacker and open up running lanes. Mangold has the tougher challenge of the two because he has to handle nose tackle Casey Hampton.
4. Two under-the-radar cornerbacks: Cornerback Charles Woodson is the star of the Packers' secondary, but Tramon Williams is emerging from his shadow. Williams was the defensive star of the Packers' victory over Atlanta with two interceptions, including one for a touchdown. He had six interceptions in the regular season and earned a four-year, $41 million extension.
Charles Tillman has been starting in the Bears' secondary for the past eight seasons, but this might have quietly been one of his best years. He tied a career high with five interceptions and had one of his best years for tackles with 82. He's also one of the best corners in football when it comes to stripping the football from a ball carrier. He had three forced fumbles this year and has 25 for his career.
5. Lost in the 3-4 shuffle: Two of the best defenders in the NFL -- inside linebacker David Harris of the Jets and Lawrence Timmons of the Steelers -- have been under the radar all season. Timmons had 135 tackles for the Steelers but could do no better than being a fourth alternate to the Pro Bowl. Timmons took time to adjust to the 3-4 defense, but he has perhaps the best range of any inside linebacker in the league. Coming out of college, Timmons was considered the perfect weakside linebacker in a 4-3 defense. The Steelers drafted him for their 3-4, so Timmons had to learn how to run around the congestion in the middle of the field to make tackles.
Harris hasn't made the Pro Bowl yet, but he's been one of the top alternates for the past couple of years. He's also watched some of his Jets teammates get big contracts. His payday is coming, though. Harris is a free agent after the season. He made only $550,000 this season.

Btw, are you going to post pictures like Xelnath did? That would be so awesome!
Mouse Crouse
I'm sad the old rework isn't working out... really liked that idea. And I really don't like the core-becomes-a-'real-item'-knockoff idea. It just doesn't seem 'cool'. It's like saying "we're sorry Viktor is stuck with a 6th item, so we'll just make it an existing item". Sure the stats are 'different', but that doesn't' change the item. Might as well not have the core if it's just gonna be a slightly altered Lich Bane. Because I can build a Lich bane. Edit: The original idea just felt so EVOLUTION. And that was perfect. I'm sorry teh tech isn't keeping up with your awesome ideas.
So its kind of like making his passive into an item that exists already, but has slightly different stats and is fairly cheap? That's what i got out of this. Adding new effects to his augmented spells seems awesome too, please take him in the direction of KZ and make all the augments useful
What if you were to mix Kha'Zix's evoultion design and Viktor's evolution design? Bear with me. You buy the "Blue Augment" (not augment gravity), which gives you the CDR and mana regen, but no ability improvement. When you rank up your ultimate, you can choose 1 of your skills to "upgrade" following the build path you have chosen (in this case blue). This would give a minor version of an ability augment. Choosing for instance Gravity twice would cause you to get the ability upgrade it has now, and you could choose it a third time to upgrade the width of the field (for example). If you were to choose "Red Augment" and gravity field, the skill would deal damage to enemies in the field, thus allowing you to proc Rylai's and Liandry's, for instance.
I'm curious on the item master path, as much as I did find the evolution path interesting. I would like to know if there's currently the technology for a passive to be leveled up towards a path? For example, you start the game with the possibility of going the evolution path or the item master path? I still think of Viktor as the ''I choose my own way'' kind of champion, thus the multiple paths. Obviously, this is a tremendous amount of work over a single champion with balance and tech and all, simply throwing this idea out there. Anyway, keep up the good work (don't overwork yourself!), and keep on trying things for the glorious evolution
As a non-viktor player, I think his skill-set is lame and lackluster. Laser- A skillshot that moves at the speed of snail and is probably hard to aim/hit Power Transfer- random bola that gives me shield!!!! stun field- Probably his only cool skill. ult - cloud of death that people just walk away from.. lame. passive - does he even have one? item - lame, needs a third evolution to be worth the item slot.
Ferreira Pedro
To be honest, I'm satisfied with Viktor. If anything has to change, I would change his passive.
