Both therapeutic and chronic uses of opioids compromise the optimal functioning of the immune system. Overwhelming evidence suggests that opioid use affects both innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Chronic administration of opioids decreases the proliferative capacity of macrophage progenitor cells and lymphocytes. Additionally, the differentiated function of immune cells is significantly affected by opioids. These effects are mediated by either a direct action of opioids on the target cells or by indirect centrally mediated pathways. Molecular biological and biochemical characterization suggest that immune cells differentially express classical opioid receptors. Interestingly, these studies also reveal the presence of a novel class of opioid receptors in immune cells. We believe that this low affinity morphine binding site mediates the antiproliferative effects of morphine.

Desperate Housewives Season 1 Episode 8 Quotes
Father Crowley: Gabrielle, the Church is pretty clear about this. If you commit a mortal sin and you die without repenting, you go to hell.
Gabrielle: Aren't you just a ball of fun? So, if I confess, it will clean the slate, right?
Father Crowley: Not only that, if you want God's forgiveness, you have to be truly sorry and you have to promise not to commit the sin again.
Gabrielle: So what happens if I repent later? Like, say, when I'm 75?
Father Crowley: I wouldn't recommend waiting. What if you die before then?
Gabrielle: Well, let's say I don't die? I do yoga, I eat well. If I wait, does my repenting still count?
Father Crowley: If you mean it, yes.
Gabrielle: Thank you, Father Crowley. You have been a tremendous comfort. Um, I will let you do your thing.
Father Crowley: Gabrielle. You know we are all responsible for the choices we make. Don't you wanna be a good person?
Gabrielle: What I want is to be happy.
Father Crowley: That's the answer of a selfish child.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's chief information security officer, Pat Howard, will be stepping down from his post as of April 7, he said in an interview with Federal Computer Week.
Howard, who has been in the job at NRC since 2008, is retiring from government and will take a private sector position based outside of Denver.
"I'm retirement-eligible and have been for a couple years," he said. "I've found an opportunity to relocate to Colorado, which is a place my wife and I have been wanting to settle in for quite a long time – so this gives me an avenue to do that. It was an opportunity I couldn't say no to."
Howard said he is taking a job with SecureInfo, a subsidiary of Kratos Defense, on a contract in support of the National Science Foundation.
"I'll be continuing to do work as a CISO, but in a different location, in a different capacity, for a different client," he said.
Howard said that recently he has focused his efforts at NRC on implementing internal cybersecurity measures. For example, he developed an enterprise cybersecurity program and worked with his staff to establish standards, provide training, ensure compliance and maintain visibility of the agency's IT systems.

Type of Memorial: Community Garden, Traffic Strip or Streetscape
Location: Intersection of Clove Road, Narrows Road South, and Targee Street
City: Staten Island
State: New York
Country: United States
Open to Public: Yes
Description: This project is headed by members from Staten Island District 1 of the Federated Garden Clubs of NY State--a group with over 200 members that has been in existence for 75 years. They would like to do more than just beautify a traffic median; rather, they want to create a healing, sacred space. Speaking with them, one is conveyed with a strong sense of their emotional commitment to the project and their need to "do something" after September 11. They noted that Staten Island was hit harder than any other borough in terms of lives lost, and that they are still recovering, just doing this is hard. Tearing up when discussing both the tragedy and the memorial, they are creating it as an act of compassion, remembrance, and shared loss in the wake of disaster; and to bring together the community....It is a deserving memorial for all those lost, a reminder of how lives changed, and a peaceful place for all. While the women anticipate that flowers and mementos may be brought, they would prefer that the focus of the memorial remain on the garden, the living element. A living memorial is valuable because with so much death, we need something positive going up, instead of just more stone.The site is a 65 x 439 ft traffic median owned by the Department of Transportation between several heavily trafficked roads, in the shadow of the Staten Island Expressway. It is a largely barren site, but the area closest to the Rescue 5 firehouse has a firefighters and veterans memorial. Rescue 5 lost more firefighters than any other firehouse in Staten Island. They chose the site because it is already a special place for the firefighters, and [they] want to enhance the whole space, which is barren and neglected. They have planted 78 smoke trees, and need to do so with an eye towards the surrounding conditions and the maintenance of the site (particularly mowing). Also in their proposal is a circle of 11 trees dedicated to fallen firefighters, surrounded with a brick walkway.The garden club held a September 9 groundbreaking ceremony featuring public officials, Marine Corps, and firefighters planted he 78 trees. In October, there is an annual memorial service of retired firefighter and veterans that will continue to occur in the improved space. They do intend to reach out to the broader garden club, school, business, and resident communities within Staten Island. There is a school directly across from the site with which they hope to engage in historical, educational, and experiential work on the site.The gardeners believe that their site will be sacred in that the granite memorial element will contain the names of the lives lost, and the trees will last for generations into the future.

Why Things Bounce Back
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis gives hope for the future. Resilience is the capacity to survive and return from disaster, something we need now and are going to need even more as our world changes. Rigidity and hierarchical patterns limit responses when flexibility and speed count. Chapter 5 tells the story of a response to the Haitian earthquake that developed almost spontaneously to include volunteers around the world helping to collect information on the ground in Haiti, translate it and return it to the first responders. A very exciting book to read.

Speeches By EPA Administrator
06/08/2000STATEMENT BY CAROL M. BROWNER INTRODUCTION OF SENATE BROWNFIELDS LEGISLATION June 8, 2000 The Clinton-Gore Administration has long been committed to the passage of Brownfields legislation, since it created the first federal Brownfields program in 1994. We commend the efforts of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on the introduction of this bi-partisan bill. In the last six years, the Brownfields program has spurred economic development and helped revitalize thousands of communities, restoring idle, contaminated land to productive use. Today, all 50 states participate in the Administration's program, creating thousands of new jobs and leveraging millions of dollars in public-private funding. Strong, protective Brownfields legislation will be an important addition to our efforts. We look forward to working with the Congress to ensure the passage of Brownfields legislation that meets the needs of the communities where the Brownfields are located and continues to protect public health and the environment. |

Sandals Royal Plantation, Ocho Rios, Jamaica: hotel review
PO Box 2, Ocho Rios, St AnnShow on map
Sandals Royal Plantation hotel is made up entirely of suites, and is the most elegant of Jamaica's all-inclusive resorts.
Expert Rating
"The Caribbean experience is stronger here – Jamaica takes familiar strains and amplifies them."
Why go?
Sandals Royal Plantation is at the pinnacle of the all-inclusive experience, with butler service, premium drinks and elegant dining in an old-plantation atmosphere. There are plenty of water-sports, golf, a spa and evening entertainment.
Royal Plantation sits on its own secluded and very attractive stretch of coastline, with forested slopes tumbling down to the beach, just east of Ocho Rios on the north shore of Jamaica.
The hotel has a setting of old-time Jamaican elegance, with classical columns, flattened arches, shingle roofs, with reproduction antiques in dark hardwood inside. It is a relatively large hotel, with daytime activities and nightly entertainment, including bands on the dining terrace and in the piano bar later on..
Royal Plantation places a particular emphasis on service, and it is there at a nod in the right direction. Each suite has a butler in attendance. There is service to your room and down to the beach.
All the suites face the ocean, and include outside space from which you can enjoy the view. The classical colonial theme has been updated in to the modern era and extends into the rooms, with four poster beds and reproduction antique furniture.
Food & drink
Unlike many all-inclusives (which have a reputation for serving buffet meals), at Royal Plantation you can expect to eat well and a la carte. There is also a good wine cellar. There are three restaurants at the hotel (two of which have a dress code in the evenings) and a Champagne and caviar bar.
Value for money
Good, when you include all the activities.
Access for guests with disabilities
Family friendly

Sitiawan (alternate spelling: Setiawan; origin: from Malay, a portmanteau of Setia Kawan, meaning "Loyal Friend") is a region in the Manjung district of Perak, Malaysia.
The region covers an area of 331.5 square kilometers (128.0 sq mi) and as of year 2000, its population was 95,920. Sitiawan town, the principal town of Sitiawan sub-district (mukim), is located at 4°13′N 100°42′E / 4.217°N 100.700°E.
Folklore mentions Sitiawan as Kampung Sungai Gajah Mati. It became a thriving settlement for industrious migrants from Foochow (Chinese: Fuzhou). They were mostly from the district of Kutien in Fuzhou, China.
According to legend, Kampung Sungai Gajah Mati (literally: "Dead Elephant River Village") was the place where two large elephants drowned after one of them, overladen with tin ore, got stuck in the mud of the Dinding River at low tide. Efforts to save the elephant were in vain and eventually, everyone gave up and left. However, the second elephant refused to budge and hung on to its friend, resulting in them drowning together in the rising tide. Thus the setia kawan (loyal friend) name was derived.
In the late 19th century, tin, together with rubber sheets, formed the main commodities of commerce. They were often carried by elephants and loaded onto waiting steamships destined for Penang. In the 1870s, when an outbreak of smallpox struck the settlement, and in line with the Chinese belief of naming a place to enhance its feng-shui, the locals chose to name the locality Setia Kawan—the "loyal friend" -- to harmonise with nature and appease the dead elephants. The name eventually became shortened to Sitiawan.
In September 1903, the settlement got a boost with the arrival of more than 360 Christian Foochows desperate to escape the violence against the Qings Dynasty.The Chinese Christian were attacked by the Boxer party also known as Yihetuan in Chinese 义和团 and the Qing Dynasty government support the cause causing mess in Fujian in 1901 also known as Boxer Rebellion. They were led by two Chinese pastors and settled down in what is today known as Kampung Koh. Most of these immigrants worked in rubber plantations in Sitiawan. The Foochows also built four wells, two in the 1930s and another two in the 1950s. These heritage wells still exist but are no longer used.
Chin Peng, who led the Malayan Communist Party for many years, was born in Sitiawan in 1924.
Sitiawan is one of the driest places after Kuala Klawang Town (Jelebu), Melacca City (Melacca) and Lubok Merbau (Perak) in Malaysia with average annual rainfall just a bit below 2,000 mm (79 in). Most of the time, the average rainfall is just above 100 mm (3.9 in) with October - November being wetter months while June is the driest month of the year.
The comparison of Sitiawan's average rainfall 2013 with other places in Malaysia can be seen via "Annual Mean Rainfall In Malaysia 2013"

Sitiawan grew from a small settlement with rubber tapping and latex processing as its main economic activities. The town was flanked by various Chinese settlements composed mostly of the descendants of immigrants from the Kutien district of Fuzhou, China. The original settlers were encouraged by the British to plant rice. The settlers, however, found that paddy-planting is not suited to the soil of the region and so they switched to livestock farming before discovering that the land was much better suited for rubber plantations.
The rapid development of urban settlements saw the plantation and estate areas develop, and eventually converted into residential and commercial areas. In the 1980s, a large remainder of the rubber estates underwent mass conversions into oil palm plantations, due to better yield and profits compared to rubber sheets and latex. Oil palm is also a much less labour-intensive crop when compared to rubber, as rubber needs to be tapped regularly.
Tourism has not been a major economic activity, but the town centre derives some economic advantages from its close proximity to Pangkor Island which is a famous niche tourist destination.
The development of the town had been rapid in the 1990s. One of the main reasons was the establishment of the Royal Malaysian Navy's Naval Base in Lumut, approximately 10 km from the town centre. The Naval Base is currently the largest in Malaysia. The base has acted as a catalyst for the development of commercial activities in the town, serving both the residents of the base and sailors visiting from other countries.
There are many schools in Sitiawan, such as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ahmad Boestamam, Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Nan Hwa,Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Convent Sitiawan, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan ACS (Anglo Chinese School) Sitiawan. The first mentioned school is named after Ahmad Boestamam, an historical figure who helped to gain independence from the British.
SMJK Nan Hwa was previously a private Chinese school which had been converted into a partially subsidised government school which uses the Chinese medium. Nan Hwa was founded in 1935 from the amalgamation of the High School section of 4 Chinese primary schools (Chung Cheng Primary School, Kuok Min Primary School, Uk Dih Primary School and Uk Ing Primary School) in the Sitiawan area. Ong Seok Kim was elected as first Chairman of the School Board in 1936 and again in 1946 to 1947.[1] Its 70th anniversary was celebrated on 1 September 2006 in SMJK Nan Hwa school hall. A thousand-person dinner was held at the Ku Tien Association Hall to commemorate that auspicious day.
There are 24 Chinese primary schools and 5 Chinese secondary schools in the district. Of these, 5 schools were founded by Ong Seok Kim.[2] They are SJK (C) Chung Cheng, Sitiawan in 1920, SMJK Nan Hwa (which split into Sekolah Tinggi Nan Hwa, Ayer Tawar Road in 1984) in 1935, SJK (C) Ping Min, Lumut in 1951 and SMJK Dindings, Lumut in 1953. Ong Seok Kim died in 1964. The following year, the Manjung community established the Ong Seok Kim Memorial Education Fund in his honour. The Fund offers scholarships and loans to students in the Manjung District, irrespective of ethnicity.[3]
SMK Methodist ACS Sitiawan, formerly an English school, was founded by Christian missionaries back in 1903. It is currently a national school under Malaysian education system and subjects are taught in Bahasa Malaysia. Its 100th anniversary was celebrated in 2003 and it is also the oldest secondary school in Sitiawan. ACS is the first school in Manjung to set up a scout troop.
Fuzhou Heritage[edit]
Sitiawan is known for its strong Foochow heritage. Various traditional Foochow dishes such as Red Rice Wine Vermicelli, "Kompiang" or "Kong Piang" (traditional Foochow buns made with a type of unleavened flatbread stuffed with seasoned pork and baked in a clay oven), as well as "Goroow" (a thick sweet and sour broth cooked with fish maw) are served in Sitiawan restaurants and households alike. Traditional local produce such as red rice wine, and Foochow vermicelli continue to play a vital part in the livelihood of some families from Kampung Koh.
Modern Sitiawan[edit]
Recent intense development on transportation routes between Lumut, Seri Manjung and Sitiawan along the Dindings river have brought both prosperity and pollution to what was once a relatively quiet town. The primary industries within Sitiawan are rubber, palm oil, mineral ore, fishing, prawn farming and ship building. Sitiawan is known for it Vietnam Farms, where patrons can enjoy some beer with the company of Vietnam lasses.
Around the year 2000, Sitiawan residents began to be involved in swiftlet bird breeding activities. This activity was partly attributed to the development of 2 major roads which indirectly "disconnect" Kampung Koh and Simpang Empat from traffics travelling to Lumut. All traffics were directed to the planned township of Sri Manjung. All local government administrative offices were also relocated to Manjung in recent years. This development renders shop and small business owners in Kampung Koh and Simpang Empat obsolete and there were many closures. The empty shop lots were later converted to culture swiftlets and at its peak 8-10 years ago, drove property prices up through the roof. There were also many new independent buildings built on farm started to mushroom which can still be seen from major roads leading to Lumut.

Hiring Illustrator for Book Trailer. The Outsiders, by SE Hinton. (self.DesignJobs)
submitted 1 year ago by dkellycreative
For a grad student project I'm doing an animation of a book trailer. The book I chose is The Outsiders by SE Hinton. I need 6 scenes created in Illustrator so that I can animate them in After Effects. All scenes must have the same look/feel/style. I'm looking for a dark, brooding kind of style. Please note that I don't want the characters to necessarily look like the actors from the movie. I didn't think the movie was that great. It would be ok to use for framing or scene ideas however.
Examples I like:
Budget is $300 US currency. Please message me if interested...

Norwegian Pearl Cruise Review by jackbettyr: Norwegian Cruise to Alaska
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Norwegian Pearl Alaska Cruises
Norwegian Cruise to Alaska
This was our second cruise, first being a 3 night cruise to the Bahamas, and it was great. The accomodations were very nice. We had a balcony and could see everything right from our room but going out on the deck and being around other people made viewing the mountains and glaciers even nicer. There were park rangers on board who gave us information and answered our questions when we went through Glacier National Park.
They have freestyle meal times, meaning you select when you want to eat. You can have a table with other people or have a table to yourself.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good and plentiful. The shows were excellent with top notch performers. We had plenty of time on our port stops. Everything was very pretty and clean.
Getting checked in and off the ship went effortlessly and very quickly.
I will cruise on Norwegian again.

Ridged foam board in attic, going for R-40
I would like to use a cut to size 3" unfaced foam board between the 2 X 4 roof rafters (leaving a 1/2 air space next to the roof) and then a foil faced 4" foam board to go over the whole underside of the attic ceiling. I will spray foam and tape for air gaps. (Gabble ends will be done the same way)
The engineered trusses are all 2 x 4 and I would like to store stuff up there if possible, so insulating the roof instead of the ceiling is a more appealing option. Are there any issues with this? The quotes from the spray foam guys was $6700 to $7000 and I can't afford that. I'm insulating the attic space over my future man room above my garage (2 1/2 car garage) 24X36 so it's not a huge space. Anyone got any other ideas? Ken |
I doubt very much that your trusses were originally engineered to have any sort of storage capacity on them.
So you will probably be compromising them by doing so. But, you will do as you will I am sure. Andy. |
The last one might work if you kick some back to the DNC.
Where are you?? Insulation techniques change for different climates. Doing it right requires some knowledge of how and where. There was a good article in the Sept 2011 Fine Homebuilding magazine. |
If the bottom cord is just 2 X 4's it's not made for storage, period.
Look at some of the older post with pictures showing what happens when people try it. Broken rafters, sagging ceilings, sagging roofs. |
Thanks for the replys, when I say storage, the home office space is small to begin with, so the attic storage would be a few boxes of holiday decorations, nothing with any real weight to it.
So is the consensus that I should skip all the insullation on the roof and just put R-49 in the ceiling Via fiberglass or blown in? and not store anything up there. |
Since 2006 IRC code changes requiring attic storage in the design (even with a 2x4 bottom chord), you may be able to store there: http://publicecodes.citation.com/ico...001_par031.htm
Other local conditions may apply, check with AHJ: http://www.hcpdc.com/pdf/FAQ%20Resid...equiremtns.pdf Gary P.S. I would leave more than Code minimum 1" air space: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...n-roof-venting |
I'm located on the NH / Maine border 9 miles from the ocean
I"m 9 miles from the coast in Maine but only a mile from NH

How sequester cuts will hurt hospital chains
2% Medicare cuts translates to 3-4% earnings decline at for-profit hospitals
How sequester cuts will hurt hospital chains
The planned 2% cut to Medicare spending that's part of President Obama's federal "sequester" budget cuts will trim nearly 4% from earnings at suburban hospital operator Community Health Systems Inc., almost as much from Hahnemann and St. Christopher's operator Tenet Healthcare Corp., and almost 3% from King of Prussia-based mental-health clinic chain Universal Health Servcies Inc., writes Dean Diaz, analyst at Moody's Investors Service, in a report on for-profit hospital chains.
The cuts also mean higher debt ratios, which will press hospital operators to further "cost containment" or the risk of lower credit ratings/higher borrowing costs, warns Diaz. Of course, "cost containment" is one of the things Obama promised, when he said expanded Medicare and Medicaid availability should be partly offset by lower expenses...
Community, Tenet and Universal all claim Medicare revenues in the 20%-30% range. Things are worse for chains that are more Medicare-dependent, like HealthSouth Corp., and some of the nonprofit hospital groups that focus on poor urban and rural communities.

You know you have/have had acne when you are in your teens and know everything there is to know about: the meat/dairy controversy, omega 3 fatty acids, acid vs. alkaline body state, zinc supplements, apple cider vinegar, colon cleansing products, and have a nicer body than anyone you know as a result of a ridiculous self-care regimen. Also, when people ask you about why you are so knowledgeable/obsessed with nutrition and fitness, you make up excuses that have nothing to do with your acne.
OH MY GOD THIS!!!! I was on the phone with this girl I like and we were talking about food and stuff and I told her I don't eat chocolate, soda, candy, fast food, and I'd been doing it for about 6 months. She was like amazed and thinks I'm one of those crazy hippie health-nut people .... which I guess I am.

2012 Golden Globes Red Carpet Fashion Arrivals
The 2012 Golden Globes Red Carpet Is Here!
>> Here they are — the best of the red carpet looks, straight from the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Early on, the arrivals hit a high note with a bevy of striking — and somewhat surprising — ensembles: Claire Danes — who later won best actress in a television series for her work in Homeland — wore a graphic, backless J. Mendel; and Piper Perabo turned heads in voluminous Theyskens' Theory. From there, the gorgeous dresses just kept coming — with lots of designers turning up multiple times. There was Vera Wang for both Sofia Vergara and Madeleine Stowe, Prada for Zooey Deschanel and Freida Pinto, Lanvin for Emma Stone and Natalie Portman, and Dior for Charlize Theron and Mila Kunis. There was also plenty of Zac Posen, which was worn not only by Reese Witherspoon, but also by Elle Macpherson. Click through to see all those — plus looks from Rooney Mara, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Williams, and more — here, in our 2012 Golden Globes roundup.

To Sleep, Perchance To Avoid Getting Depressed
The normal need for between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night is apparently required to prevent depressive symptoms from being triggered. Research from two new studies in the j…ournal of Sleep have found that the genetic potential for depression is activated by too little, or conversely, too much sleep. "Healthy sleep is a necessity for physical, mental, and emotional well-being," said American Academy of Sleep Medicine President Dr. M. Safwan Badr. "This new research emphasizes that we can make an investment in our health by prioritizing sleep."The first of these two studies looked at 1,788 adult twins. The research revealed that a gene seems to be activated by variation in sleep duration that links to depressive symptoms. The participants in the study were 894 same-sex twin pairs selected from the University of Washington Twin Registry and self-reported both their sleep durations and depressive symptoms. A total of 192 male and 412 female monozygotic (identical) pairs were compared to a control group of 81 male and 209 female dizygotic (fraternal) pairs for genetic factors.The monozygotic twins with an average of 8 hours of sleep per night showed a heritability of depressive symptoms of 27 percent. But when the total amount of sleep dropped to 5 hours a night the genetic factor increased to 53 percent. For those twins sleeping 10 hours a night the genetic influence on depression was 49 percent. "We were surprised that the heritability of depressive symptoms in twins with very short sleep was nearly twice the heritability in twins sleeping normal amounts of time," said lead researcher Nathaniel Watson, M.D., associate professor of neurology and co-director of the University of Washington Medicine Sleep Center in Seattle. "Both short and excessively long sleep durations appear to activate genes related to depressive symptoms.""The study's findings suggest that optimizing sleep may be one way to maximize the effectiveness of treatments for depression, such as psychotherapy," he said.In a second study of 4,175 children between the ages of 11 and 17 it was found that those who slept less than six hours per day were at risk of having a major depression. Alternately, having a major depression raises the possibility of being sleep deprived. This is the first research to demonstrate the reciprocal relationship between sleep deprivation and depression among adolescents. In other words, if adolescents sleep less they will get depressed, which in turn causes them to lose sleep. "These results are important because they suggest that sleep deprivation may be a precursor for major depression in adolescents, occurring before other symptoms of major depression and additional mood disorders," said lead researcher Robert E. Roberts, Ph.D., professor of behavioral sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, Texas. "Questions on sleep disturbance and hours of sleep should be part of the medical history of adolescents to ascertain risk."Watson NF; Harden KP; Buchwald D; Vitiello MV; Pack AI; Stachan E; Goldberg J.

How many hours does a 12 year old need of sleep?
If you are one of those parents that make your 11-13 year old children go to sleep at 9:30pm maybe you shall reconsider it. it is a proven fact that most people who stay up at… least until 10:00pm become more calm,you become more inquisitive, and you have an easier time going to bed, which can result in calmness as presented before. when you have them go to bed around 9:15pm-9-40pm they feel forced to go to bed at that time even though they're body is not used to it-(not tired). this is just a reminder that if you have children ranging from 11 to 13 years old maybe even 14, it will do them a whole lot of good to keep them up to at least 10:00pm. --Sincerely Dr.Smith, (MORE)

School: Stanford
Indianapolis Colts sophomore quarterback Andrew Luck enjoyed a very good rookie campaign, having combined for over 4,600 all-purpose yards and 28 touchdowns. While the 23/18 TD to INT ratio is alarming, it is something that most rookie quarterbacks experience and something that can be easily bested with experience.
For his second year, Luck is being joined by former Stanford coach Pep Hamilton who plans on changing up the Colts offense and bringing in a more West Coast oriented style of passing game.
Considering the offensive talent that Luck is surrounded by and the versatility that he has with both his passing and running game, he should be more than fine to continue his rise to fantasy football elite status.
While he most likely won't reach that this year, look for him to produce a better TD/INT ratio, more passing touchdowns and while possibly...
