Preseason full of QB questions
Mailbag: Quarterback questions abound, Denver's receivers look good
The first full week of NFL preseason action featured some tough decisions made, and tougher ones brewing on the horizon.
The toughest decision was made by Dolphins coach Joe Philbin. Faced with a void at wide receiver after the Brandon Marshall trade with Chicago, the Dolphins signed Chad Johnson. But after Johnson was charged Saturday with domestic battery after he allegedly head-butted his wife (whom he married barely a month ago), Philbin terminated Johnson's contract. Now the Dolphins are once again short on receiving help, and it could cost them wins.
Do you have a query for John Clayton?
Click here to send a note to his mailbag.
Another tough decision is looming in Miami: Who will be the starting quarterback? The easiest choice would have been to go with David Garrard, but his knee surgery on Saturday likely eliminated that option for a month. By the end of Week 2 in the preseason, Philbin must decide whether to go with incumbent Matt Moore or first-round pick Ryan Tannehill. Considering the Dolphins' lack of receiving threats, Philbin might be wise to go with Moore until he figures out what he has on the outside at receiver.
For the Titans, Mike Munchak won't have an easy choice at quarterback. Jake Locker has done well in training camp and looked good in the preseason opener against Seattle. Matt Hasselbeck may have the lead, but the gap is narrowing.
Pete Carroll moved the Seahawks' quarterback position closer to a solution. He used Matt Flynn and Russell Wilson against the Titans, putting Tarvaris Jackson on hold because he's already familiar with Jackson's skills. For Carroll, the toughest decision is timing. Should he push his three-way competition to a conclusion this week or next, knowing time is running out for the starter to get ready for the opener against the Arizona Cardinals?
Speaking of the Cardinals, neither Kevin Kolb nor John Skelton is making Ken Whisenhunt's decision on the starting quarterback any easier. Both quarterbacks continue to struggle.
On the legal front, linebacker Jonathan Vilma didn't get satisfaction in federal court when a magistrate decided to take more time to decide what to do with his defamation suit against the NFL. Vilma was hoping for a temporary restraining order to allow him to return to the field. The magistrate wasn't sure she had the authority to make a decision, because player discipline is a collectively bargained issue.
On the negative side, the NFL appears to be bargaining hard in talks with officials. It appears they are set to go with replacement officials for the second week of the preseason, and there is a growing feeling the dispute could last into the regular season. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
From the inbox
Luke in Ewa Beach, Hawaii
A: So far, so good for the receiving corps. Thomas is having a great camp, and Manning hasn't worked with a wide receiver as tall as Thomas before. Decker and Brandon Stokley work well out of the slot. Andre Caldwell is also a good slot receiver, but the Broncos have him working on the outside. The Broncos could probably use another outside threat. They are hoping Jason Hill or Matt Willis might come through, but they may have to wait until next year to find another perimeter option.
Q: With reports about altercations, both physical and verbal, coming from the Jets, is it possible that we are seeing a team in distress or are players just blowing off some steam? It seems more and more likely that if they carry on this way into the season, that this is a team that will fail to secure a winning record, let alone a trip to the playoffs.
Steve in New York
A: This can be a little overblown. The weather has been hot and guys get tired practicing against each other every day. Sure, there are potential problems in the locker room, but not to the extent you suggest. Rex Ryan is a players' coach and he keeps his defense playing on the edge. I remember when Jerry Glanville was coaching in Atlanta and Houston there would be some wild fights, much worse than that of the Jets, and those teams were close. What you should worry about is how the offensive players respond to quarterback Mark Sanchez with TebowMania swirling around them. If they don't have full faith in Sanchez, the Jets are in trouble.
Q: With all the quarterback trades the Eagles have made the past few years, do you think it is plausible to think NFL teams now don't trust Philadelphia when it comes to trading for a new starting quarterback?
Brett in Naples, Fla.
A: No. Teams know Andy Reid and his staff can develop quarterbacks. If the gamble doesn't work, more of the blame falls on their scouting department. Still, from A.J. Feeley to an aging Donovan McNabb to now possibly Kevin Kolb, teams that have gambled on former Eagles quarterbacks haven't had a lot of success. Still, a team has to do something if it's desperate for a quarterback.
Short takes
Alex in Mason, Ohio, agreed with my comments that Marvin Lewis is the right coach for the Cincinnati Bengals, but he noted that contract extensions to Lewis and coordinators Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer all expire at the same time, after the 2014 season. He's right in saying there is a good chance Zimmer and Gruden could get head coaching jobs by then, but Lewis will have the job security to find good replacements. If Gruden leaves, Lewis could promote Hue Jackson to be offensive coordinator. Lewis has a plan. Matt in Lancaster, Pa., says the Bills still need a No. 2 receiver opposite Stevie Johnson. No worries. David Nelson is developing nicely in the slot. Donald Jones does a nice job. In time, T.J. Graham could be that receiver. The good thing for the Bills is that Chan Gailey's scheme makes average receivers effective. Shaun in Salt Lake City was hoping the Lions could sign Cedric Benson as an insurance policy for the backfield. It will be interesting to see if the Packers outsmarted them by getting Benson, who can still be a factor. Jeremy in St. Louis can't understand why holdouts such as Mike Wallace and Maurice Jones-Drew can't accept contracts that include base salaries and big incentives. Simple. Base salaries aren't usually guaranteed and top players don't want to leave their finances dependent on incentives if they have the bargaining clout to get better deals. Also understand teams can't put everything on incentives because they have to leave enough salary cap room in case the players hit those incentives. Brett in Rochester, N.Y., points out that Texans running back Ben Tate has this year and next year left on his contract, so he wonders if the Texans will trade him. I don't see it. They love having Tate and Arian Foster as one of the best 1-2 running back duos in the NFL.
Efren in Phoenix
A: The one-day contract doesn't net a player a dime. What it does is put his name on the team's reserve list. The player signs for the minimum salary, just like Alex Brown of the Bears did last week. The next day the player goes on the reserve/retired list. This allows him to say he ended his career with the team that originally drafted or signed him. It is mostly a ceremonial procedure.
Q: With depth charts being announced, I am curious about your thoughts on Ronnie Hillman being the No. 3 running back in Denver. What kind of impact do you see him having in his first year, and in what capacity do you think he will be used?
Mike in San Diego
A: He should have a good impact on the Broncos if he's healthy, but Hillman wasn't healthy when I visited Broncos camp. They had Lance Ball as the backup and Knowshon Moreno running fourth team. I guess you can say the Broncos must be pleased with his early development to put him ahead of Moreno, a former first-round pick. Hillman has speed and elusiveness, but to be a factor on third downs, he'll have to learn how to block in passing situations.
Q: The Giants were 7-7 after Week 15 last season. They went 6-0 after that and won the Super Bowl. But all through that run there were a number of plays that could have turned games against the Giants. No one could have predicted their title, and it doesn't seem likely to happen that way again. If the Giants are to win the Super Bowl again this season, it will have to be with better and more talented players making plays, because miracles apparently only happen every four years.
Mark in New York
A: It's hard to repeat as Super Bowl champ, and it's not out of the question for the Giants to have a better start this season but not go as far in the playoffs. We watched the Packers go 15-1 after winning the Super Bowl, and then get eliminated at home in their first playoff game last season. The Eagles are better than they were last year and the Cowboys might be, too, so the Giants have a long road ahead.
Q: I know Mike Wallace is expected to sign his tender sometime this month. But if he chooses to sit out 10 weeks of the season in protest (and then sign the tender to still have the season count in terms of service), does Pittsburgh still have the option of lowering the contract amount to roughly $250,000, or was that a one-time option that they cannot enforce due to passing on it last month?
Matthew in Colorado Springs, Colo.
A: The Steelers can't lower the tender, but if Wallace holds out into the season, he loses almost $159,000 a week in salary, which is why I think he will come in before the start of the regular season. The Steelers are offering a five-year contract worth more than $50 million. Wallace wants around $11.5 million per year, and that's too high for the Steelers' payroll. They may be over the salary cap next year, but they can franchise him for around $10.3 million, which would mean his two-year salary as a restricted free agent and a franchise player would be $13 million. It does make sense to consider the Steelers' last offer.
Q: Everyone is talking about the 49ers regressing. I can see a regression in win-loss record due to strength of schedule, but I think they have the talent to make a run in the postseason. Remember, had wide receiver Ted Ginn not been hurt, they would have beaten the Giants with one more third-down conversion, because two costly fumbles wouldn't have happened. Now, wide receiver upgrades and running back depth should improve us for the postseason.
Matthew in Richmond, Va.
A: The tougher schedule could lead to a worse record, but you are right. The 49ers could go deep in the playoffs. They obviously would need to stay healthy. They would also need a big season from quarterback Alex Smith. At the moment, they probably have one of the five best teams in the NFL.
Q: In preseason games, we get to watch second halves played by undrafted free agents and third-string quarterback wannabes. If we are lucky, perhaps a kicker or punter may be fighting for a real job. My questions: Are the 30-plus players who have almost no chance to make the team covered in any way by the CBA, what kind of contracts have they signed, and what kind of injury settlements are they entitled to receive should they get hurt?
Mike in Thornville, Ohio
A: The undrafted rookies have base salaries of $390,000 that is paid only if the player makes the team. Some received signing bonuses of $10,000 or less, many didn't get signing bonuses at all. If a player suffers an injury during a game, he can be placed on the waived/injured list and could make as much as $273,000 if he's out all season. Those players stick around until they are healthy, but they usually work out an injury settlement for the length of time it takes for them to get healthy. That $390,000 is not guaranteed.
Q: With a rash of injuries after one preseason game, do you think the lack of padded practices has made the players softer and opened them up to more painful injuries? Going from very little hitting in practice to full-on contact in a game, it seems like players are not quite prepared for the physicality of a game experience.
Gurinder in Abbotsford, British Columbia
A: I didn't see an appreciable increase in injuries during the first week this year compared to last year. It was probably a little worse last year because the players didn't have an offseason in the weight and training programs due to the lockout. But I agree with you that the lack of contract during practices in camp makes it tough for the players to be fully prepared for the games.

ORLANDO, Fla., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LiftSeat Corporation, a leading provider of powered toilet lifts for hospitals, long-term care facilities and home health agencies, introduced today a new white paper that details a return-on-investment (ROI) model for healthcare facilities seeking to determine the financial impact of using powered toilet lifts in support of their fall prevention or safe patient handling program. The white paper was introduced at the 12th Annual Safe Patient Handling Conference in Orlando.
The white paper, Identifying a Return on Investment (ROI) by Introducing the LiftSeat Toilet Transfer Solution into a Falls Prevention and/or Safe Patient Handling Program, was authored by Heather M. Monaghan, MHSc, RN, president of Visioning HealthCare and editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Safe Patient Handling & Movement (SPHM).
"Falls are one of the most challenging and expensive events for any healthcare facility," writes Monaghan. "Numerous studies demonstrate activities associated with toileting are a major cause of falls and injuries, ranging from 33 to 45.2 percent of all falls in medical-surgical units to between 37 and 50 percent of falls throughout in-patient care."
The white paper details how falls can lead to a 61 percent increase in an organization's costs for the care of an injured patient and add more than 12 days to the length of a hospital stay. Nurses and other caregivers also are at risk when assisting with toileting-related activities with injuries resulting in medical costs, lost time from work and potential light duty or staff replacement costs.
"LiftSeat commissioned Ms. Monaghan's white paper to contribute to the growing body of research on the true impact of toileting-related falls," says Greg Kilgore, president of LiftSeat. "Momentum is accelerating within the safe patient handling and fall prevention movements in part because of the growing awareness about falls and t

Dinning table & Bench
Beautiful & Sturdy ~~~ wish I would have had this when all my 7 children where growing up.
Build your own farmhouse table with bench with free plans from Ana-White.com
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
3 - 2x4 @ 8 feet long
2 - 2x4 @ 9 feet long (try 9' studs or 10 footers)
2 - 2x6 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x3 @ 4 feet long
3 - 1x4 OR 2x4 @ 8 feet long (for the bench top)
2" finish nails
2 1/2" and 3" wood screws
Wood glue
Pocket hole screws for the top: 2 1/2" for 2x4s or 1 1/4" for 1x4s
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
6 - 2x4 @ 11 1/4"
6 - 2x4 @ 3 7/8"
6 - 2x6 @ 15 1/4" (both ends beveled at 45 degrees off square longest point, not parallel)
12 - 2x4 @ 3 1/2" (cut in arch shape)
3 - 2x6 @ 17" (both ends beveled at 30 degrees off square longest point not parallel)
6 - 1x3 @ 5 1/2"
1 - 2x4 @ 90 1/2"
2 - 2x4 @ 106"
3 - 2x4 @ 10 1/2"
6 - 1x4 or 2x4 @ 47 3/4"
Lets start in the center and work our way outward. You'll be building three pedestal bases per each bench. For these, glue and nails will do the trick.
Make sure you can get your stretcher in the center opening.
Now add the top and bottom.
Cut out with jigsaw and sand until smooth. Attach with glue and nails. NOTE: These could potentially be attached before step 1 from the insides - it's up to you.
Now add the bottom to the pedestals.
And finally the feet.
Thread through center stretcher and attach pedestals to center stretcher.
Build top first with pocket holes.
Attach pedestal bases to the top and you are done with one bench!

Adrienne replied on Permalink
The instructions never mention planing the 2x4s or any of the other boards that don't come totally square. Do you (or anyone else that builds!) plane your 2x4s or use them as-is with the slight angled/rounded edges on the corners? The boards in the pictures always look totally square, but it is hard to tell without close-up shots!

We love this table and plan to build it ASAP but wondering - what's the best way to make it 36x96" to accommodate our space?

The Vision
The vision of the Rotary Reading Rangers is simple: to get as many volunteers as possible into the schools to help children improve their literacy skills. The ultimate goal is to create an easily replicated model that may be used in any school to add "Rangers" to their volunteer base. Rangers are not limited to Rotarians. Rotary has stepped up to provide leadership, organization, and coordination to the idea, but anyone willing and able to help read with a child is welcome to join.
Currently, we are attempting to get to our literacy goals (every child on grade level in reading) using different "tracks".
We have what we term as "Volunteers" these are people whose schedule does not allow a consistent commitment and these people try to do what they when they can. These people would coordinate with the school and expect to be flexible; seeing different students each time they come and working on different skill levels.
Our "Tutors" are people who are willing to commit at least an hour per week to provide consistency to a child. Tutors will be assigned a single child or small group of children to work with every week. The children look forward to their Ranger time, and the tutors get a great deal of satisfaction in seeing their students improve.
Tutors and Volunteers are welcome to attend "Ranger Training." This training conducted every month or every other month to provide insight into the school curriculum, the vocabulary used within the school for the students, some tricks and tips to help Rangers help their students. We have general training provided by the school. Rotary has also had several volunteers learn the Orton-Gillingham approach and Wilson Reading System® materials via the Augustine Project. This multisensory phonetic teaching approach is research based and proven to be highly effective. Our Augustine Rangers are willing to share what they have learned and will provide training and mentoring to anyone interested. If a Ranger is truly turned on by what they see and wish to receive deeper training, we can introduce those interested parties to the good folks at the Augustine Project and Durham Literacy Council. The Durham Literacy Council is focused on training people to teach adults. One never has to feel inadequate to help read with a child, the Ranger Program will help as much as we can to ensure your experience is positive.
In the immortal words or Dr. Seuss "you are never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child."
If we could get enough volunteers into the schools, we could significantly improve the literacy skill of our kids – our future.
Please consider joining the Rangers and help us "git to literacy" for every child.

New deal for Town captain
08 Mar 2007 - 11:24:02
Huddersfield Town captain Jonathan Worthington has agreed a new two-year contract extension which will keep him at the Galpharm Stadium until summer 2009.
Worthington, 23, has made just 20 appearances during an injury-ravaged season, but has signed a new deal with the managerless League One club.
"I wouldn't have signed a further two years to my deal if I didn't think that we would be in the Championship within that time," he told the club's official website.
"I am an ambitious person and I want to play in the Championship wearing a Huddersfield Town shirt."

SAP Buying Sybase for $5.8 Billion to Battle Oracle
SAP AG, the world's biggest maker of business-management software, agreed to acquire Sybase Inc. in a transaction valued at $5.8 billion to help it fend off competition from Oracle Corp.
Sybase shareholders will receive $65 a share, Walldorf, Germany-based SAP said in a statement today. That is 56 percent higher than the closing price of $41.57 yesterday, before the deal discussions became public.
SAP co-Chief Executive Officers Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe are on the lookout for acquisitions to keep from losing customers to Oracle and reverse the sales declines that led to the February departure of their predecessor, Leo Apotheker. Sybase gives its new owner software that helps financial institutions analyze information.
"The deal makes sense because SAP is betting heavily on in-memory computing and mobile applications as the future of computing and Sybase brings to the table a capability for high- speed in-memory databases and a mobile application platform," said Paul Hamerman, vice president of enterprise applications at Forrester Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Apotheker presided over the first annual drop in revenue at the company since 2003 as customers facing the economic slump refrained from purchasing new software. Oracle in December said it is winning customers at SAP's expense. SAP's software is used for payrolls and customer relations management.
Sybase, which is based in Dublin, California, soared 35 percent to $56.14 at 4 p.m. on the New York Stock Exchange. That was its biggest one-day gain since the company sold shares to the public in 1991.
'Innovative' Software
McDermott said in an interview with Bloomberg Television yesterday that he wouldn't hesitate to make acquisitions if the opportunity was right. As the amount of data generated by businesses doubles every 18 months, companies need the ability to analyze it and make rapid decisions, McDermott said.
Sybase will help SAP better provide in-memory databases and software used in mobile computing and services delivered via the Internet, Ray Wang, an analyst at the Altimeter Group, said in an interview.
"This acquisition is a technology play, and Sybase has three of the most innovative technologies required for the next decade," Wang said.
In the software industry, 1,057 deals have been announced in the last 12 months, with an average premium of 47 percent. The purchase of Sybase is the fifth-largest software takeover ever, according to Bloomberg data.
The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter, SAP said in the statement.

MasterCard signs Rita Ora to front 'Priceless Remakes' campaign
MasterCard has recruited pop music artists Rita Ora, Conor Maynard and Delilah to front a campaign promoting the fifteenth year of its sponsorship of The BRIT Awards.
The payments brand will today (7 January) launch 'Priceless Remakes', which will offer cardholders the opportunity to star in a music video to be broadcast on the night of The BRITs on Tuesday 20 February on ITV1.
Entrants will be invited to film a clip of themselves recreating a music video by one of Rita Ora, Conor Maynard and Delilah, and upload it to a dedicated campaign website Somethingforthefans.co.uk.
Three winning videos will be selected by the featured artists, and the participants will then be invited to star in 'Priceless Remakes' to be screened as idents during The BRIT Awards.
The campaign, by McCann London, will include TV, print, outdoor, digital and social media activity, including promotion via the artists' own Twitter and Facebook channels.
Rita Ora, Conor Maynard and Delilah are each set to perform exclusive concerts for Mastercard customers later in 2013.
Shaun Springer, head of brand and sponsorship at MasterCard UK & Ireland, said: "Priceless Remakes taps into the passion of real music fans and brings them closer than ever to the artists they love, in a new and exciting way. It's a truly priceless experience, which is set to excite and entertain all music fans – not just the winners."
Last year, MasterCard offered consumers the chance to duet with artists such as Labrinth, JLS or Emeli Sande, with the latter featuring in subsequent MasterCard activity throughout the year.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney will help you discharge all eligible debts, while still keeping your home, household goods, and possibly your car. Although child support, alimony, and federal income taxes are not eligible for elimination, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you deal with financial situations you cannot control--such as large medical bills or being laid off--before you get overwhelmed with debt.
Avvo has over 6,690 in-depth profiles on attorneys who handle Chapter 7 matters. We highlight the most important factors so you can select the right attorney for your needs.
You may think an attorney is too big of an expensive when filing for bankruptcy, but a competent debt lawyer will be well equipped to help you relieve most debts and repay the money you owe to creditors as fairly as possible. With the help of a legal professional, you can get a fresh start from your bankruptcy filing. Talk to a bankruptcy lawyer before filing so you can find out the different advantages of each type of bankruptcy.
If the business that you own has debts but you need time to repay them, you will want to consider hiring a Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney. A lawyer with plenty of experience in Chapter 11 cases will help you recover your losses and fend off lawsuits, wage garnishment, or layoffs. If you need extra time to repay your debts while you stay in business, contact a lawyer right away.
When you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must complete the full 3-5 year repayment plan to have your remaining debts discharged. Most people who file do not complete these plans, so you will want the help of a skilled bankruptcy lawyer specializing in Chapter 13 so that you do not run the risk of keeping your debts. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, contact an attorney to see if you are eligible to file. "=
Once you have gone through a trial and won, you expect to be paid. If the person who owes you money has yet to submit payment, you will want to contact a debt collection attorney. Your lawyer will find the most advantageous legal strategy to make sure you get the money that you are owed. Debt collection attorneys often get paid only after you have collected your money.

Ibraimi plays down Magpies link
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Young Macedonian striker Agim Ibraimi has played down speculation linking him with a move to Newcastle United. Chris Hughton's Magpies, as well as Belgian side Anderlecht, are thought to be scouting the 21-year-old, who plays for Slovenian club Olimpija Ljubljana. The striker is attracting attention after scoring for Macedonia Under 21s against England Under 21s earlier this month, while he also made his debut for the senior side as a substitute in the 3-2 friendly defeat to Spain in August. But Ibraimi has played down the speculation, insisting he is happy at his current club. He told Zelenobeli: "Newspapers are saying many things, but I'm still an Olimpija player. Happy"I'm happy in Ljubljana and would like to stay at Olimpija." Olimpija director of sport Simon Seslar said no bids have been lodged for the player, but if any are made, any deal would have to be right for the club. He told Nogomania: "It is more than obvious that Ibraimi is very interesting player. "He plays well for our team and also for the Macedonian national team. "But even so we still haven't had any official offers for him." GrowingHe added: "Agim is growing as a player and if he gets an offer to move to a higher level, we will not stand in his way. "But the offer must also be good enough for us. We have to look at us, even more so now in these hard times when every pound is very important." But Seslar did not rule out a possible move in the January transfer window if the right offer came in. He added: "Him leaving us in the winter? Maybe."

Blossom is a blessing
By: Bruce Creps (Aug 7, 2010)
You gotta like this mom and pop grocery store. Its shelves, bulk bins, and coolers are stocked with real food. The staff is engaged and friendly. The owners know about things like carbon footprints, high-fructose corn syrup, and GMOs and go to great lengths to research and stock items that are produced sustainably and are healthful, fresh, and local. They even have a bulletin board right outside the front door for local farmers to post what crops are currently available at their farms. What a community asset Blossom is. How did we get so lucky?

So much goodness in a small, welcoming space
By: Iris Graville (Aug 5, 2010)
I've shopped at Blossom for years and appreciate how this business continually refines itself. The owners are responsive to customer requests and have made numerous improvements that create a pleasant shopping environment. I also applaud their service that makes it easy to donate to several local programs simply by "rounding up" at the cash register.
Those are ideas I care about and that influence where I shop. But I wouldn't keep going back if Blossom also didn't provide the freshest produce, quality bulk and packaged foods as well as household and personal items, helpful staff, and competitive prices. This business is an inspiring model of local, sustainable practices.

A real gift to the community!
By: Rhea Miller (Aug 3, 2010)
Blossom has an awesome selection of produce and goods for such a small community. But what I really appreciate is all the research they do before they bring us products. They bring us the most earth-friendly, sustainable, healthy foods and goods that they can, and if asked, will tell you why they have made the choices that they have. They are a wealth of accurate information in an age of too much deception by marketers.

We love visiting Lopez Island, and Blossom is part of the reason. It's an awesome little natural food store, packing in ridiculous amounts of quality food into a tiny space. Every small community should be so lucky.

A Small but Mighty Store!
By: Matthew Rabel (Aug 2, 2010)
I shop at Blossom Grocery almost exclusively. They pack a lot of natural, organic, seasonal, and/or local products into a small store, which makes it easy to get everything you need and get home in a hurry. Other pluses include the helpful staff and reasonable prices. You can't go wrong with this place!

More new arrivals have pushed Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya to capacity with urgent help needed to improve water and sanitation to stop the spread of disease.
Women and children account for over 75% of Kakuma's population.
Over 15% of Kakuma's population under five years of age. These children are particularly vulnerable to water-borne diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera which can spread quickly.
Kakuma Refugee Camp in northern Kenya is home to more than 150,000 people, and continued violence in South Sudan is leading to a huge influx of refugees into the camp. The camp is now vastly above its capacity and its ageing water and sanitation facilities need urgent upgrades. In a crowded camp, deadly waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera can spread rapidly, and young children are especially susceptible. Up to 80% of the new arrivals are children who are already malnourished after travelling vast distances to reach the camp.
The situation in Chad is just as severe. More than 110,000 refugees in camps near the Sudanese border are struggling to collect enough water for their families.
Four camps on the Chad border, established in 2003 at the outbreak of the crisis in Darfur, continue to receive refugees from Sudan and South Sudan. Aging water infrastructure is compromising the delivery of clean water to these refugees who are living in an extremely challenging environment in one of the poorest countries in the world.
High density camps present a higher risk for disease transmission. Water needs to be safe for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene. Adequate sanitation facilities and education about hygiene are also important factors for the prevention of illnesses and epidemics.
Clean water and sanitation are fundamental to the health, wellbeing and dignity of refugees.
Your donation will help UNHCR to improve water and sanitation facilities in camps in Chad and Kenya. Your donation will help save lives and enable UNHCR make urgent improvements to the camp's infrastructure, keeping refugee families safe and healthy.
Note: Should the funds raised exceed the amount required to meet the immediate and longer term needs of the people in the affected areas, Australia for UNHCR will direct donations to our Emergency Response Program to enable us to rapidly address future emergencies as they occur
You can help refugees by supporting us today.
Australia for UNHCR is appealing for donations to help improve water, sanitation and hygiene in the camps.
Funding will allow UNHCR to immediately:
Your donations will help us to provide clean water and better sanitation facilities in the camps, reducing the risk of disease and improving the health and safety of refugee families.
KAKUMA REFUGEE CAMP, Kenya, 6 August (UNHCR) – Kakuma Refugee Camp has surpassed its capacity of 100,000 residents, creating serious concerns as more refugees continue to arrive.

NAIROBI, Kenya, July 17 (UNHCR) – UNHCR announced on Tuesday that Somalia's population exodus has crossed a new threshold – more than 1 million people have now fled the country for the surrounding region. The most recent arrivals continue to cite insecurity and dwindling food resources as the main reasons for their flight.

PJ Harvey to receive honorary degree
PJ Harvey has been announced as one of the names to receive an honorary degree from Goldsmiths University this year.
The singer, who was appointed an MBE last year, will accept the accolade from the London university next month, along with architect Dame Zaha Hadid, human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, journalist Neal Ascherson and poet George Szirtes.
The ceremonies will take place between September 8 and 11. PJ Harvey will be awarded on Wednesday, September 10.
Goldsmiths University's musical alumnus includes Blur – who played their first gig in the Students Union bar – John Cale, Katy B and Rob Da Bank. Jools Holland, Columbia Records chairman Rob Stringer and Placebo frontman Brian Molko are among the musical figures who have been honoured with Goldsmiths degrees in previous years.
"Our honorands this year are a remarkable group of people," Liz Bromley, Registrar and Secretary of Goldsmiths, said. "They have changed communities through their inspiring architectural designs. They have pointed out the ridiculous in the news and made us laugh. They have inspired us with their words, their music, and their art. They have fought for our rights. And they have helped us to understand who we are now by looking to the past."
In December 2013, PJ Harvey guest edited BBC Radio 4's flagship current affairs programme Today, where she commissioned Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to deliver a special 'Thought For The Day', along with features from journalist John Pilger and former Archbishop Of Canterbury Rowan Williams. Actor Ralph Fiennes read the poems 'Austerities' by Charles Simic and 'They Fight For Peace' by Shaker Aamer and the show also featured extracts from works by Tom Waits and Joan Baez.

and possibly the Natty....for the life of me I can't figure out why we force Driskel to be Peyton Manning. It's his natural offense, he looks so comfortable and if someone could research the outcomes of the read option plays I'm sure the results are overwhelmingly positive keep it simple, up tempo. We have the backs ...Valdez Showers. And receivers that can block well the speed posts to Drob and Fullwood would be our downfield passing just like Tebow liked to throw I think we'd average 35 a game....' the "bye-week breakdowns" which I think are phenomenal consistently show success out of the read option
I said similar things in 2005. Why did we force Chris Leak to be a spread option QB, rather than doing what he did best? If Fedora was the OC in 2005, I think we would have won the SEC and competed for a MNC that year, as our defense was loaded.
If we don't turn it over so much we can win every game without changing anything else about the offense.
If we quit turning the ball over and committing stupid penalties we win all of our games the last two years.
We do not run a read option offense, we run a set several plays from read option formations. But a predominately spread, read option offense at this point would be fantastic for Driskel due to his lack of skill at reading defenses. Would like to see a Seattle like offense or Redskin, tho neither are predominately spread/option read.
So do you think turnovers are just happenstance? Like a thunderstorm or something? Like a light switch you can just flip on or off if you want to? You might view turnovers as a single issue, but I do not. We turn the ball over because we don't block well, our QB play is inconsistent (bad decision making, poor pocket awareness, etc), we run the wrong routes, we don't get fresh bodies into the game, we choose to run and throw in heavy traffic and rarely put players in space to make plays, etc. Basically, turnovers are just one symptom of having a bad offense. And that is something you can't just flip on or off.
this thought to totally change your offense in the middle of the season is ridiculous and would be disastrous
Changing anything at this point would be devastating to the season. The last thing you want to do with a QB who struggles with the speed of the game is to make him think even more than he already does. I think you can simplify some things and take some decision making away from him. I would vote for that, but changing the offense would be a big mistake.
Turnover's lost------------------Penalties------------Regular Season W/L 2000: 38th.....................................82d....................................10-2 2001: 85th...................................107th.....................................9-2 2002: 71st ....................................61st.....................................8-4 2003: 57th.....................................84th.....................................8-4 2004: 46th...................................111th.....................................7-4 2005: 5th.....................................104th.....................................8-3 2006: 66th...................................118th...................................12-1 2007: 7th.....................................113th.....................................9-3 2008: 4th.....................................105th...................................12-1 2009: 20th.....................................85th...................................12-1 2010: 95th...................................106th.....................................7-5 2011: 86th...................................114th.....................................6-6 2012: 13th...................................115th...................................11-1 Avg....46th...................................100th....................................9-3 Seems like we always have more stupid penalties than most teams, and turnovers lost is not always a direct consequence to the quality of a season. Yet i do agree that we need to cut down on both...
People are really overreacting to a few bad plays. Jeff threw a bad interception and didnt see a few open WR's that is about it. This happens in almost every football game you watch. The other int was on the WR's. He also made some nice plays from the pocket but people dont want to talk about him taking big shots and delivering the ball on target
I think we should run a combination of whatever offenses are working for other teams in college or pro ... just put them in a blender ... no reason that wouldn't work.
Agree. Jeff made a lot of nice plays.... he just needs to carry that through to the red zone and we'll be fine.

Office Essentials: How to Bring Personality to Work
You got your own office! Other than bringing your computer, some networking supplies, and a desk what else do you need?
Here are some of the essentials I think an office needs in order to feel comfortable.
Art work. Big or Small.
This can be a framed photo of your significant other, your dog or cat, children or grandparents - whoever! But it doesn't have to be people. Let your personality reign in the artwork you bring in to your space. Magazine ads are a great, free option. No one will know the difference and you can dress it up with a funky frame. I love ironic, witty art and illustrations. I might DIY a small canvas that says "This is an Original" in black and white and just leave it at that. Typography is also a really great way to add personality and contrast to a new office.
Source: living4design.tumblr.com via Jodi
If you're working in a cooperative office or you're constantly on the move; alternatives to framed artwork for you could be a laptop skin or really bringing out your personality in the small accessories you use every day. Such as: Earbuds. I think these are the best out there, I've tried many varieties of earbuds and these actually block noise, don't leak out what you're listening to and are pretty fun to look at. Unique Laptop Skins. Design your own, show off your personal portfolio or a favorite photo. The options are endless. KnockKnockStuff has some really fun, light hearted material for Office organization or filing. Something to bring a laugh and often times things you say any way, just now a stamp will say it for you, more often.
Paper, notebook or sticky pad.
I don't think it matters how digital or mobile I am. I still find it essential to have a place to jot notes, make lists or just be able to doodle. Having some Washi tape stuck in your drawer or bag could be a great personalization tool as well. Highlighting certain notes or just categorizing in color. If you proof documents the Washi tape can serve as a marker or mediator for the things you want to make sure are changed or redone.
Great Business Cards.
If your place of work doesn't offer you stock business cards (and even if they do) you should have a business card. A calling card, if you will. A heavy weight paper, clean design. Your name Contact (email, twitter, AboutMe, phone) Wesbite Tag-line or personal brand logo, if applicable. A Facebook page should not be on a professional business card, unless you're Facebook. Facebook should be one of those things that's rhetorical and is easily accessible from your website or any other profile that allows you to link to social media.
Source: owltastic.com via Jodi
Offbeat kitchenware.
Source: etsy.com
If you don't bring your own mug to the office to stay fueled throughout the day there should always be a backup waiting for you. I personally love the offbeat, creative angle of taking a mason jar and making it something fundamentally it was never meant for. Sometimes the little things really make the biggest impact. Play with them and enjoy the crazy conversations that'll take place because of them.
Creative Lighting.
Source: lampegrasusa.com via Jodi
A dedicated DO space.
Source: google.com via Jodi
Create an area or workspace/desktop where folks can go to DO something. Use their hands, utensils, cutting or chopping. A place to "play" with all the ideas floating through the office. The list could go on and on as there are endless ways to bring your personality to the office and make your space something you feel comfortable in.
What are some of the things you've done to your office or coworking space to bring your style out?

Poverty is likewise not the cause of looting. Poverty is widespread in China and Russia. Mob violence and looting are nowhere to be found. Poverty is widespread in Africa and Asia, but mob violence and looting correlate only with gangs who amass arms and have the resources to rob those poorer than those gangs. Poverty did not cause anarchy during Hurricane Katrina, a natural disaster overwhelming a city's resources did, along with criminal elements taking advantage of such disaster-inspired chaos.
Likewise, it is a myth that hopelessness instigates mob violence. Hopelessness engenders passivity, the opposite of violence.
When looting and mob violence events are reported as "people vs. government," such a message only feeds a public sense of identification with looters and their own willingness to participate. At the same time, this message engenders insecurity and a sense that government is losing control among the law abiding and further traumatizes a community.
Are you suggesting that mob violence and looting can be prevented?
Absolutely. It is instructive to see that mob violence does not occur everywhere, even in societies that have access to weapons and in which mass demonstration is permitted. Mass assembly is not the problem.
Fundamental to eliminating mob violence is to first identify it as criminality, rather than a social phenomenon. That responsibility rests upon elected leaders, community leaders, teachers, parents, mass media and police.
A brutal police force is not the solution. Nor is mere arrest. For perpetrators recognize that legal consequences of looting and destruction of property are limited, especially amid chaos. But there are other societal tools available to eliminate this behavior.
The media should emphasize the vulnerability and pathos of those victimized by random mob violence and looting. From the 89-year-old shopowner whose premises are destroyed to the friendly bystander who is pummeled into a fractured skull and irreversible brain damage, vivid examples of the senseless byproducts of mob violence and looting nurture a community's resolve to prevent them. The mass media can be particularly effective in massing empathy for these unfortunate victims of circumstance and in mobilizing public outrage toward those who unravel the fabric of daily order.
Amid this focus from the mass media, local communities have to reject looting as a shame to the community and repulsive behavior that embarrasses them. If this rejection occurs loudly in houses of worship, in schools, and among neighbors, then police and public officials can leverage such societal morals by exposing looters upon arrest and shaming them before their neighbors.
Yes, name names; of looters, their parents, their communities, name even the gang to which they might belong.
Perpetrator walks and publicizing the identities of looters amid a community rejection of looting humiliates the perpetrator. It creates a powerful disincentive where courts and justice cannot. And it punctures the anonymity of group violence in a way that gives prospective looters pause for that risk. Such a police policy is especially easy to achieve in England, given the proliferation of high-grade security cameras all across London and other cities.
Because many looters are young people, identifying the communities from which they originate is psychologically sound. To do so does not cause prejudice; the general public knows what is going on and is not fooled by political correctness.
