The Denver Broncos rebuilt their defense this offseason by upgrading the defensive line and the secondary. One group that received less attention from general manager John Elway was the linebackers, which is a testament to the play of weak-side linebacker Danny Trevathan more than any other player.
When Trevathan crumpled to the ground with a left knee injury on Tuesday and had to be taken from the field on a cart, the Broncos not only feared the worst, they also knew instantly that their defense would not be the same without him. Unlike last October, when Trevathan was carted from the practice field with an apparent knee injury and was able to play four days later, he's now an integral part of Denver's defense.
Trevathan has a left medial tibial impaction fracture, the team announced, and will miss six to eight weeks. That timeline makes Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals after the bye a good target for Trevathan's return.
"They told me that my ACL and MCL are fine, but that I have a fracture in my knee," Trevathan told ESPN's Josina Anderson. "The doctor told me I was going to be out four to eight weeks, but I told him four to six. I'm not tripping. I will bounce back. I'm a soldier."
Not only is Trevathan more important to Denver now than he was last year, but the Broncos don't have sufficient depth behind him. The Broncos avoided the worst-case scenario as they will only have to do without him for about a month of the regular season. Wesley Woodyard, who Denver moved from weak-side linebacker to middle linebacker to accommodate Trevathan last year, signed with the Tennessee Titans in the offseason.
If Danny Travathan is lost long term, the mishandling of Wesley Woodyard becomes the Broncos biggest regret of the john Elway era.
— Brandon Spano Show (@BrandonSpano) August 12, 2014
Trevathan was the one defender that really picked up his game after injuries sidelined Von Miller and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. last season. From Week 16 through the playoffs, Trevathan was nothing short of fantastic.
The Broncos have several options to replace Trevathan, but none of them can totally replace his production. One such option for mitigating the loss of Trevathan would be using the trendy big nickel package with three safeties. T.J. Ward would rotate down into the box and Rahim Moore and Quinton Carter could patrol deep.
However, linebackers are always going to be needed in base packages, and someone will have to play in Trevathan's shadow. University of Nevada product Brandon Marshall, a former fifth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012, got the first crack after Trevathan left the practice field.
Marshall spent most of last season on the practice squad after spending his rookie season on Jacksonville's practice squad. Marshall is currently listed as Trevathan's direct backup but has just 15 snaps of professional experience and two tackles in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Oakland Raiders. Marshall did perform well in the first preseason game playing with the second-team defense, however.
If Marshall proves to be a liability against the run or in coverage, the Broncos could consider Nate Irving, Steven Johnson or rookie Lamin Barrow. All three are currently listed as middle linebackers but have some experience playing outside.
Player | Experience | Run Snaps | PFF Run Grade | Pass Snaps | PFF Coverage Grade |
Brandon Marshall | 2 | 14 | -0.2 | 17 | +0.8 |
Lamin Barrow | 0 | 9 | +0.7 | 18 | -1.6 |
Nate Irving | 3 | 10 | +1.7 | 9 | -1.8 |
Steven Johnson | 2 | 8 | +0.2 | 11 | +0.7 |
Pro Football Focus
Barrow is perhaps the most likely to get a shot due to the fact that Irving is slated to be the starter in the middle. Irving would also be Miller's primary backup at strong-side linebacker, creating more depth issues if he were to play on the weak side.
Irving may prove to be too much of a coverage liability on the weak side, but Pro Football Focus (subscription required) gave him positive coverage grade on 125 snaps last year at middle linebacker. Johnson sits behind Barrow on the depth chart and doesn't have much game experience even though he's played both in the middle and on the weak side over the last two years.
If Irving were to play on the weak side, Barrow would have to play in the middle. It would therefore make more sense to have Barrow play outside, leave Irving inside and just adjust snaps and defensive packages accordingly.
Nolan Nawrocki's NFL.com draft profile of Barrow projected him as a weak-side linebacker, so that may actually be his most natural position. Barrow played a variety of linebacker spots at LSU.
Who should replace Trevathan at weak-side linebacker?
Bleacher Report's Darren Page says Barrow can "cover an adequate amount of ground" and may best fit as a 3-4 inside linebacker in the pros. With Miller and DeMarcus Ware rushing off the edge, Denver's defense has many characteristics of a classic 3-4.
Page's scouting report also lists route anticipation and quick feet in space as Barrow's strengths. CBSSports.com's scouting report listed similar strengths and said that Barrow could provide depth both in the middle and on the weak side.
In his first preseason action, Barrow struggled in coverage, earning a minus-1.6 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus after allowing two receptions on three targets, but he was better than Irving, who tied for the team's worst coverage grade of minus-1.8.
By using Marshall and Barrow, there would be minimal disruption on the rest of the defense. The Broncos will have to find another player to wear the green dot on their helmet and call the plays regardless of who plays in Trevathan's place.
No matter how the Broncos choose to shuffle the linebackers, they should be able to survive without Trevathan, as long as the return timetable is accurate. The Broncos need a healthy Trevathan down the stretch and in the playoffs more than they do early in the season, so navigating without him for a few games shouldn't be a major problem.

Diddy - Everything I Love
Artist: Diddy
Featuring: Nas, Cee-Lo Green
Producer: Kanye West, Diddy
Album: Press Play
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 5 votes )
After exchanging blows with 50 Cent on the cut I Am, Diddy is at it again on Everything I Love, the follow up single to his new album Press Play. Featuring the likes of Nas and former Goodie Mob alum and now Gnarls Barkley member, Cee-Lo, the flow is superb and helps the likes of even Diddy sound rivetingly fresh on the mic. However, the undeniable reason for the success of this to-be HOT single is the production, done by Grammy award winner Kanye West.

ProsThere is a commitment to delivering repeatable, supportable services and solutions within the operations of the company.
ConsHowever, Sales Operations leadership can't blow their noses without consulting Accenture and bullies their support and services organizations for their inability to deliver. If the company took all the money they spend on the Accenture's and Deloitte's of this world and poured it into building a first rate services and support organization, and then EMPOWERED those teams, then Sales Operations wouldn't keep on making the stupid, expensive decisions they make.
Advice to ManagementAdvicePerform an audit of the Sales Operations organization and don't hire any existing external vendors to perform the audit.

I have been working at MedImmune full-time (more than 5 years)
ProsNONE that I can think of at this moment
ConsThis company has utter disrespect for employee safety, especially during Hurricane Sandy. This storm is described as "unprecedented," "catastrophic," "deadly," etc. MD and DC are under states of emergencies and local and government officials are warning residents not to travel unless absolutely necessary. All schools, local and FEDERAL governments are closed. Metro and bus service is suspended. Yet MedImmune remains open. We must use vacation if we do not travel to work in these potentially dangerous conditions and wind gusts.
Money, not safety, is their top priority. In 2011, when the DC area was hit by a 5.8 earthquake, MedImmune employees were told, "For future reference, and unless otherwise notified by EHS Personnel, employees should not evacuate their buildings." We were told to keep working, while government was encouraging employees to evacuate and stay safe.
In a recent employee satisfaction survey, employee engagement has significantly dropped. MedImmune needs to take these results seriously and realise that employees are not satisfied with the leadership running this organisation and the poor descions being made.
I have never worked at an establishment where my safety was put into jeopardy for their financial gain. Working from home is not an option for those of us in R&D
Lastly, I'd like to state that the employee emergency hotline has yet to be updated today, when our state is under an emergency declaration. I have to leave my children home alone and travel to work, where absolutely nothing will get done today.
The complete lack of leadership at this organisation in making this judgement call is staggeringly disappointingAdvice to ManagementAdvicePut employee safety first
Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO -

AIG Bailout Details Don't Tell the Full Story
Updated from Monday, March 16
The public outcry over American International Group's (AIG - Get Report) bailout and bonus fiasco has heated up measurably, but it may only have just begun.
AIG on Sunday evening released a detailed list of payouts made to trading partners, or counterparties, after months of lawmaker demands. Congressional leaders wanted information about who was benefitting from the $170 billion in public money that has so far been extended to prop up the sinking insurer.
The list, however, only relates to Sept. 16 through Dec. 31. The government has since extended additional support to AIG, and the counterparty payments do not mean that all related positions have been closed out.
A big chunk of AIG's payments, $22.4 billion of $118.4 billion, was made to dozens of financial firms which bought credit default swaps from the insurer. CDS insure counterparties against major losses on debt investments. As the value of those investments declined, AIG was obligated to provide collateral payments to the firms that purchased CDS. But many of those underlying credit assets exist in frozen markets where valuations are subjective at best. The government's initial Troubled Asset Relief Program was scrapped because the Treasury and Federal Reserve could not figure out how to set prices for those assets. Paying too much would cause major losses for taxpayers, but paying too little could send financial firms with major exposure into bankruptcy. The government abandoned its initial strategy of buying the toxic assets, but in its bailout of AIG it provided the insurer with cash it needed for what it called "severe valuation losses." It should come as no surprise that AIG became a conduit to funnel the cash to its top trading partners. After all, in announcing AIG's first bailout on Sept. 16, the Federal Reserve said it was extending an $85 billion loan to prevent "a disorderly failure" and "to assist AIG in meeting its obligations as they come due."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

chick im bringing home just asked our cab driver if she could do a line off his turban. i think im in love - or trouble.
yesterday i saw a blind man guiding himself into a NYC tour bus... and i thought i waste money
the recession has oofficially hit my standards.
that thing about your dad's boner was meant to be a compliment
so the situation is a+b=c where "a" is how much you weight, "b" is my gravitational pull, and "c" is how erect your penis is.
Sometimes I find that I've been touching my boob(s) without even realizing it.
we should go somewhere reaaaaaal shady
Your dad touched me again.
i want you now
you need to stop dating girls with the same name as your mother...or stop drinking so much...I don't want to see this
I just saw a woman parallel park a horse. Awesome. Only in New York..
btw, your gf is going to want to talk to you today...and consequently you're probably not going to want to talk to me...just a heads up
Did you fuck her?
If by "fuck her" you mean "threw up on her shoes," then yes, I achieved that.
Did Neil Armstrong say the moon was too far away! NO! He built himself a fucking rocketship is what he did!
I heard you aren't going to graduate...that suck sorry bro
I heard your girlfriend is trying to spread swine flu because she wants to wear one of those masks to cover up her broke ass teeth

A new study of the solar system suggests that astrophysical jets are driven by the sun.
German researchers have developed a new technique that will help astronomers hunt for Earth-like planets around distant stars with ease.
A team of astronomers has identified the closest known flyby of a star to our solar system.
NASA's Dawn spacecraft, on way to explore the dwarf planet called Ceres, has captured craters and mysterious bright spots on it.
Kolkatans will have a rare opportunity this Friday to watch Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, from close quarters.
An international team of astronomers combing through data from the US Kepler space telescope said Tuesday they have discovered a solar system with five Earth-sized planets dating back to the dawn of the galaxy.
Astronomers have found that the ring system they saw eclipsing a very young Sun-like star -- known as J1407 -- is of enormous proportions, much larger and heavier than the ring system of Saturn.
One of the largest asteroids in our solar system - Vesta - may once have had flowing water which formed gullies and other erosion features on its surface, according to data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft.
Nine years after leaving Earth, the New Horizons spacecraft is at last drawing close to Pluto and on Sunday was expected to start shooting photographs of the dwarf planet.
A relatively large asteroid, designated 2004 BL86, is going to fly by Earth at a very safe distance of 745,000 miles (1.2 million km).
Geologists from University of Cambridge have uncovered hidden magnetic messages from the early solar system in meteorites.
Researchers have developed an instrument that is not only capable of dating rocks but can be miniaturised for spaceflight to reveal the age of planetary materials.
The solar system has at least two more planets waiting to be discovered beyond the orbit of Pluto, Spanish and British astronomers say.
Exoplanets - planets outside our solar system - are more likely to have water and be more habitable than previously thought, suggest astrophysicists from University of Toronto, Canada.
NASA has revealed that scores of giant asteroids are on course to hurtle close to Earth before the end of February.
Did our planet make its own water through geologic processes or did it come to us via icy comets from the far reaches of the solar system? The answer is likely to be both.
An American probe that will explore Pluto woke up from its slumber Saturday, after a nine-year journey to take a close look at the distant body for the first time.
A 3D image generated from data collected by Rosetta Lander Imaging System (ROLIS) aboard the European Space Agency`s Philae lander has been released.
A new study explored the measurements of magnetic fields trapped in grains within a primitive meteorite that gave important hints to how the early solar system evolved.
Rosetta spacecraft's robot probe Philae which recently made a historic touchdown on a comet has now lot of tasks up its sleeves.

text: Pumpkin is one of the most popular flavors of fall. What is not to love about it? It is sweet, healthy, and tastes delicious with a small dash of cinnamon-sugar. One of the things I like to do with pumpkin is add it to delicious drinks. It immediately thickens the beverage and gives it a delicious warm fall flavor. If you like to sip your pumpkin too, here are some yummy recipes. Grab your blender and a straw and have fun!

I haven't played the game, including ranked, in over 4-5 months. This was mainly due to cannon rushes are just too potent and a pain in the behind. Honestly I find the range on the cannon to be the main cause of the problem.
If the range was reduced to 6 instead of 7, the cannon would need to be moved closer for it to be effective and would give Stalkers and marauders a neutral range. But in all honesty this would leave the air attack gimped compared to the other static air detectors. In honesty I think the photon cannon should have two separate attacks where the ground attacks had a shorter range it would nerf cannon rushing without too many knock backs. |
Cannon rushes are actually really easy to scout and defend, I'm sure there are guides online to show you how to perfectly stop them. Cannon rushing is a huge risk and the player who attempts it is WAY behind if he fails.
Also I need to point out that Cannon rushing was already heavily nerfed when HOTS came out due to high ground powering being removed. The only map where cannon rushing is viable is Yeonsu in PvP, but if you scout your area or your opponent opening forge it's still easily stopped on that map. |
hows about you just scout your base? its not that hard to, you know, move a probe around in your base?
JD also fell victim to cannon rushes in today's series, but I do wonder how much of that could have been prevented by a probe on patrol. but i don't know, maybe that's too much of a mineral loss to do that. |
hows about you just scout your base? its not that hard to, you know, move a probe around in your base? This. I want to see the math on how many minerals are lost trying to defend a cannon rush due to lost mining time vs the amount spent. I feel like if we crunched the numbers it would come out as either neutral or probably cost efficient. Mainly because I think it is incredibly beneficial just based off the amount of times I've seen pro Protoss' use cannon rushes just to at least gain an early/mid economic advantage by obtaining a faster expansion which Protoss' are not meant to do because of there bottomline mechanics (expensive but most cost effective units/ weakest econ). Using a cannon rush for the simple, yet seemingly minor, purpose of gaining a greater economic foothold in the most crucial period of the game(early game, because of exponential scaling in mineral gain/unit production) seems really easy to pull off for such a large gain with only a few number of actions. - But to be absolutely fair I think too many zerg are following popular formulas right now instead of pushing the meta game envelope and being creative/out-of-the-box. I'm an awful player this is just my 2 observational cents.

Then just learn how to deal with 2 base all-in's vs Protoss, Void Ray harass, 6 Pheonix cleaning up your Overlords/Overseers/queens while you attempt to establish 3/4 bases. It doesn't stop in Silver, either. I've been cannon rushed or 2 based 6/7 games today. |
Considering Zerg's Hatchery and Lair unitsl are incredibly weak vs Protoss Gateway units, I'm unsure what this "creativity" or "out-of-the-box" meta you are speaking of is? Do you want us to magically have the ability to recall units for defense, warp units for offense, and hold amazing early game map pressure with a made-up air unit that is as cost efficient as a Pheonix? Have you ever played this game? |
So true, roaches in equal cost counter stalkers pretty well. By creative/unusual I meant something like Life's aggressive ZvP builds.
Edited by Trickeri on 11/11/2013 2:24 PM PST
You can actually get 3 or 4 Roaches per stalker, because the Zerg will be up by a base, therefore has way more money. |
I haven't played the game, including ranked, in over 4-5 months. This was mainly due to cannon rushes are just too potent and a pain in the behind. Honestly I find the range on the cannon to be the main cause of the problem. the Problem is cannons absolutely SUCK vs tier 1.5 and tier 2 units, because they all have gimmick !@#$ like 6 range, 20 damage, blink, hardened shields, fast regen, or 13 range, etc.. If you make cannons any weaker they won't be worth making for anything EXCEPT cannon rushes... It's already the case that cannons cannot even stop their own value worth of certain units, and I don't even mean seige units, I mean a-move "mover-shooter" units. If not for being able to block up with buildings, the cannons would not even be good vs early Zerglings or Zealots. Cannons out-ranged most units in Broodwar too. I think they had 6 range there, and everything except the Tank, Lurker, Reaver, and Dragoon had 5 or less range. Lurkers had 6 range but needed to be burrowed to attack, so Cannons still beat Lurkers pretty well, unless you had a mob of the Lurkers, which is unlikely. Static defense is supposed to beat everything in a "stand-up fight" except Siege Units and Siege Equivalent units. Because it cannot move, it is supposed to be much more cost-effective than units. There are already too many units that beat cannons cost for cost,w hen they are supposed to be a zone denial that the opponent is supposed to be forced to "deal with it" somehow. If you want to blame something, blame the ridiculous tier 1.5 and tier 2 units in the game, like Marauders, Roaches, and Immortals. With their insane defensive and offensive stats, those units are what caused Cannons HP and Shields to be inflated back from the 100/100 of BW to the 150/150 of Starcraft Vanilla. Are cannons too good vs Tier 1? In some situations yes they are, but they HAVE TO BE, else there would never be any worthwhile reason to make them, because they'd suck even harder vs everything else. |

4 Easy Ways to Make Christmas Merry for Grandma
Christmas is a wonderful season; rich with experiences and opportunities. While there are many chances to delight your children with glitter and gold in December, Christmas also offers a fantastic opportunity to bring the older members of your family into the merriment. Like anything else, a merry Christmas for all does require some planning. What follows is an easy list of ways to make Christmas merry for Grandma.
1. Christmas is a Season of Memories-
Even at my age, Christmas brings a flood of memories. I can vividly remember moments of unbridled joy when I received a basketball hoop. I can remember spending each holiday with my grandparents, helping serve meals to the less fortunate in Oklahoma. I can remember the smell of my grandmother's perfume when I would run up the front sidewalk to hug her upon pulling up to her house for the holiday. Even writing these lines, I start to drift away in a sea of happy thoughts of days gone by. For older adults, memories are a vital part of life. Especially for seniors who have begun to deal with short term memory loss, being able to recall and recount events from the past not only provides a sense of confidence and great pleasure. Reminiscing also provides what is known as "life review," an important part of the aging process. Plan to spend an evening in December with the older adult in your life looking through an old photo album or watching old home movies. Let them bring the ghost of Christmas past back to life.
2. Quality not Quantity-
It is easy to create Christmas overload with the best intentions. It is only December 3rd and my personal holiday docket is already jam packed with parties, gatherings and events. For seniors, it is particularly important to consider the dangers of doing too much. For many older adults, having an established routine is crucial. Throwing a couple extra things on the calendar is fine but don't attempt to drag your aging parent to every shindig and ugly sweater party available. Less is more. Plan on having them accompany you to no more than a few events and have an early exit strategy. People who struggle with hearing loss can become very agitated among big crowds and in noisy environments. Take this into consideration as you do your planning.
3. Connect
Isolation is a danger for seniors throughout the year but is especially painful at Christmas. If possible, try to connect your aging parent with peers or relatives that they might not get to visit often. For instance, plan to take your mother on a trip to Aunt Thelma's house to deliver one of your mom's world famous lemon pound cakes. It will be a great opportunity to share the Christmas spirit with both your mom and your Aunt. Who do you know who will be alone this Christmas and might appreciate a visit?
4. Watch the Booze-
Everyone has heard the cautionary tales of a coworker who had one too many glasses of eggnog at the holiday party and ended up xeroxing her own derriere by the night's end. Many of the medications that seniors take may make them especially susceptible to alcohol. No one likes to be babysat and that is certainly not what I am suggesting. However, knowing the effects that too much alcohol might have and planning (there's that word again) an early exit strategy might not be the worst idea ever.
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Make a plan to enjoy it.
And to all ages a good night!

The Importance of Mother's Health
I have never been a woman.
To my credit, I have been involved in an extremely in-depth case study of a woman for the last 13 years known as marriage.
One of the things that I have noticed over the last decade is that my wife is consistently placing her own health on the back burner. If one of my children has a fever, she coordinates a trip to the pediatrician. Her calendar is the one which tracks the annual physicals and immunizations for everyone in the home under the age of 18. She arranges dental cleanings each year.
But if you were to ask her about her own health, you would hear a quick laugh followed by the popular internet refrain: "Ain't nobody got time for that."
Many women fall into the same pit, particularly during childbearing years when pregnancy necessitates frequent visits to the OBG. Unfortunately, proper health practices are habits which are formed and followed over years and have ramifications which unquestionably affect women as they age.
The Easy Mistake-
It is easy to think about OBG's as doctors. They are. But it is more accurate to think about them as surgeons. That is what they are.
An Obstetrician-gynecologist is a surgeon in the truest sense of the word. They are required to go through a four year surgical residency which contains curriculum entirely surgical in nature. It is natural to assume that, over time, OBG's will become competent in areas of outpatient medicine. However, it is important to remember that their knowledge base, skill set and entire training is limited to the female reproductive system.
There is more to women than just lady parts.
The mistake many women make is feeling that an examination as invasive as the one they receive at their OBG visit would surely catch anything major going on. That simply isn't the case.
Why It Matters-
For all of the reasons that men go to the doctor, women should go to the doctor. Things like hypertension, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and diabetes are just a few of the first things that come to mind that OBG's do not (and aren't trained to) diagnose and treat. Additionally, screenings to detect things such as cervical and breast cancer are female specific health concerns which must be monitored on a regular basis. They are not concerns which are typically addressed during routine pregnancy visits.
Making It A Priority-
The reality is that no mother has time to attend to their own health. In no world does a mother wake up to birds chirping outside their window, the beginning of Rossini's "The William Tell Overture" playing in the background, and wistfully wonder what she will do with all of the extra time she has that day. The reality of a mother's day is far more chaotic and is unimaginable to anyone who hasn't walked a mile in those shoes. The finale of "The William Tell Overture," known by most as the theme song to the Lone Ranger, is a far more appropriate soundtrack for most. How would one find the time to tend to their own needs in the midst of the daily onslaught known as motherhood? Perhaps a good place to start would be to replace a word in the previous sentence. No one will ever "find" the time. One must "make" the time. Like Nike used to say- Just Do It!
Many of the seniors we serve are currently dealing with the reality of having ignored their own health needs earlier in life. Whether it is borderline hypertension eventually leading to a stroke, poor diet eventually leading to diabetes, high cholesterol eventually leading to a heart attack, or lack of sleep eventually leading to dementia; daily we are confronted with the repercussions of decisions made and habits formed much earlier in life. It is easy to ignore the piper when you won't likely have to pay him for another 40 years. The seniors who are enjoying long life and greater independence than their peers are not doing so by accident. Their success is a byproduct of careful planning and persistent attention to the little foxes which can so often spell disaster down the line.
Mothers, make time to take care of yourself; not just for yourself but for all the people who rely on you and care about you.
Fathers, make your wife's health your priority. The Bible tells us to love our wives as we love ourselves. If that means that once a year you need to take a day off of work so that she can go to the doctor then make it happen.

4 Easy Ways to Live Longer
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to go today. Here are four easy ways to increase your longevity by almost 20 years.
1. A Salad a Day
Italian researchers have pinpointed an easy habit you can adopt which will yield two additional years to your life span. A new study suggests that the simple practice of eating a salad a day is enough to make your life longer. The antioxidants found in vegetables such as broccoli, dark leafy greens, bell peppers and tomatoes have been shown in studies to ward off everything from major diseases to the common cold.
+2 years
2. Oh Nuts!
The crack team at Loma Linda University noticed something funny about Seventh Day Adventists in California; they were living longer than everyone else. Seventh Day Adventists are known for their healthy lifestyles and the avoidance of things such as caffeine, alcohol and pork. Scientists were able to pinpoint their practice of eating nuts as being particularly beneficial. After compiling all of the data, the research team asserted that snacking on nuts at least five times a week can add almost three extra years to your life.
+3 years
3. You Get By With a Little Help From Your Friends
In Australia, researchers found that the individuals with the largest networks of friends lived the longest. Whether just having someone to check in on you from time to time does the trick or perhaps it is the physiological benefits of companionship, having a good solid gang of buddies tacks on an additional seven years.
+7 years
4. You Gotta Ac-cen-tuate The Positive
Yale University researchers help us understand that not everything regarding longevity can be quantified as easily as a bowl of leafy greens. Older adults who enter the golden years of retirement with a general sense of doom and gloom are not likely to last very long. The mind is a powerful thing and can create health realities either positively or negatively. Individuals who approach the next chapter of their lives with a sense of optimism and purpose have been shown to live more than seven years longer. Programs like our Salute to Senior Service promote and recognize the contributions that older adults make for just that reason.

Three Simple Steps to Beat the Winter Blues
My wife and I were lying in bed this morning wondering why on earth our children were running all over the house at such an early hour. After shouting various things in an attempt to curtail the Crack-o-dawn shenanigans, I angrily tossed back the covers and began the heavy footed march of doom with the intent of politely informing them in a loving fashion that if they ever woke me up at an ungodly hour such as this again I would be forced to search for new homes for at least three of them. To make sure I had the facts to illustrate my point, I glanced at the clock on my way across the room to find two things. First, my still-too-noisy-for-this-time-of-the-morning children were not as guilty as I had thought them to be. Second, it was already 7:00am and I was going to be late to work.
The change of seasons is hard to deal with for many reasons. The shorter days, the chilly weather, the dark mornings all combine to wreak havoc on the schedules our bodies have grown accustomed to during the long, hot summers. Aptly acronymed Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), affects some of us more prominently than others. "People affected by seasonal affective disorder, also called SAD, may feel overly tired, lack motivation and even have trouble getting out of bed," says Dr. Angelos Halaris, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Loyola University Chicago Stitch School of Medicine.
For seniors struggling with dementia and Alzheimer's, the affects of SAD compound what are already a challenging collection of symptoms.
Here some simple steps you can take to battle the SAD-ness:
1. Get Outside-
Despite the shorter days, we are still blessed to have relatively warm weather and beautiful fall foliage in North Carolina. Getting outside to enjoy the sunlight is one of the best things you can do to avoid SAD. Exposing your skin to sunshine is helpful as well. If weather permits, expose your arms to the sunlight and avoid wearing sunglasses if possible.
2. Let the Sunshine In-
Open the curtains and drapes to let in as much of the outside light as possible. Consider leaving the blinds in your bedroom open when you go to sleep in order to allow the sunlight to stream in as soon as it comes up in the morning. For homes with poor lighting, light therapy boxes are available that are designed to mimic the effects of sun exposure. Always consult your physician before engaging in light therapy.
3. Exercise-
There is nothing that sabotages my exercise regiment more than the foods of fall. Squash, root vegetables, pot roast, and all of their fatty friends make me want to lie on the couch catch up on past episodes of Downton Abbey. Make yourself exercise. The endorphins released by even 30 minutes of daily activity can have a profound affect on your energy levels.
None of these are revolutionary concepts. None of these things are hard to do. These are all of the things that your great grandmother would have encouraged you to do long before we made up a fancy name for how we feel starting in October. Unfortunately, what is easy to do is also easy not to do.

The Meaning of Life
As I sit down to write this post, I am not really sure how to begin. I am not really sure what content will fill this space. I don't really know how I will bring it to a close.
I know that I want to say something that will affect people positively. I want to make a difference.
I suppose I could move on if things become difficult; if the words to fill the page elude me. But I feel that I have something to contribute and I don't think I can or should move on until I have finished the task at hand.
At Home Instead Senior Care, we believe in a culture of life. We believe in living life on your own terms and aging according to your wishes. We believe in making the most out of each and every day which has been given. That belief is what drives us to serve families the way we do. That belief brings patience and understanding to us in the midst of sometimes difficult circumstances and family dynamics. We want to make the world a better place. We believe that we have something to contribute.
Despite our commitment to life, we are never far removed from death. The conclusion of life is something we face often. In those moments, we take great comfort in the work that we did. We console each other in the knowledge that, for however brief a time we were a part of their story, we made that person's world a better place. Still, it isn't easy. Loss never is.
Throughout the many journeys we have been a part of, we have stood by as the people and families we cared for endured tragic things. We have watched people battle painful chronic conditions. We have seen people become prisoners in their own bodies due to ALS or Parkinson's. We have watched as a person stricken with Alzheimer's slowly fades until the moment they no longer recognize their own reflection in the mirror. Friends have been taken from us far too early and without any warning. In each case there is requisite separation. 'Just part of the business we're in,' we tell ourselves. But that truth is a lie. If it weren't, we wouldn't be any good at what we do.The reality is that losing people hurts. Watching people suffer hurts. Saying goodbye hurts. Death hurts.
Over the last several weeks, the media has been highlighting the story of woman in Oregon who has chosen to end her own life on November 1st rather than fight an aggressive type of brain cancer. Many have hailed her decision as brave. At first glance, I guess I can see that. After all, we believe in living life on your own terms. Shouldn't that include dictating the terms of its end?
But the more I reflect on her decision, the sadder I become. How sad that because of the suffering set before her, she believes that the best decision is to avoid the pain completely. That is and should be her right- both legally and ethically. Still I can't help but think about the innumerable ways in which my life has been blessed by those around me who have endured unimaginable difficulty. In moments of personal trial, I find myself bolstered by reflecting on their courage and bravery in facing those challenges. Those are my heroes.
There is a pervasive myth in our society that beating a disease is the same as winning. The reality is that some diseases, some conditions are still and perhaps always will be incurable. Life itself is the ultimate terminal condition. Facing death, despair is understandable. Choosing to avoid that struggle is pragmatic. Bravery, however, is rarely the reasonable choice.
Each day brings with it an opportunity to create, to share, to laugh, to love, to serve. While we may not know exactly which words will fill the page, we still choose to write because we believe that we have something to give. We are here for a reason. We have a purpose.
Sometimes we fight to win. Other times we win simply because we fight. In both instances, we affect the world around us. We make a difference.
I do not know how my individual story will end but I choose to put words on the page because I believe I have something to contribute. I am grateful for all those around me who have chosen to fight and in so doing made the world a better place.
"This is my quest, to follow that star.
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far.
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause.
And the world will be better for this, that one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable star."

"I Bake Bread" - Minnesota 114yr old Shares the Secret to Longevity
Anna Stroehr has seen a lot of changes in her life. Born in 1900, today marks her 114th birthday. An infant when President McKinley was assassinated, she cites the addition of electricity as the most significant change she has seen take place during more than a century of years on this planet. But don't let that rather predictable observation fool you into thinking that Anna isn't a modern lady.
Anna was trending at number one this morning on Twitter once news of her birthday and her fondness for social media began to hit the news outlets. Like so many teenagers one hundred years her younger, Anna had to lie in order to set up her Facebook account. Apparently, Mr.Zuckerberg didn't account for Supercentenarians wanting to participate. His setup protocol only allows you to go as far back as 100 yrs., a fact which forced Anna to lie about her age when she set her account up several years ago with the help of her 85 yr old son.
A few years back, Anna did an interview and was asked the typical range of obligatory questions. She described the secret to her long life in a two fold manner. "I bake bread," was her first explanation. Second she says "I know it was the good Lord's doing. I sure didn't do anything to deserve it."
My favorite part of the interview was when she was asked about exercise. "I never understood people walking for exercise," she said. "If a person does what they're supposed to be doing, there doesn't seem to be any need for that." Geriatric specialists at the Mayo Clinic attached big, fancy words to her recipe for long life. They say that strength training, cardio activity and being part of an active social community are the things that have helped Anna become the seventh oldest living American. Those words are as foreign to Anna as the concept of Facebook undoubtedly is to many of her 100 year old peers.
Long before the sedentary, screen-engrossed, overweight, disconnected-yet-always-connected plague swept through this nation Anna held the secret to a long and happy life. Her recipe didn't call for fancy words or expensive studies. Her holistic approach didn't even require the aid of modern medicine. Anna's secret in those days was just called "living."
After having to fake her age to get on Facebook, Anna sent a one sentence message composed on a typewriter to Mark Zuckerberg. It read simply: "I'm still here."
Happy Birthday Anna.

Overcoming The Parent/Child Dynamic
I can remember a Sunday School teacher once chiding me for being disruptive. "Stephen, God gave you two ears and only one mouth for a reason. He wanted you to listen twice as much as you speak." At the time, those words fell on deaf ears, both of 'em. However, I have found myself returning to those pearls of wisdom on many occasions throughout my life.
Many adult children approach their parents as a collection of problems to be solved. Mom needs help at home. Dad is not safe behind the wheel. Mom and Dad's finances need to be managed more carefully. The real problem is that many times we attempt to solve problems we know nothing about.
Problem: Since Dad passed away Mom lives by herself.
Solution: Mom should move in with us and live in our spare bedroom. She could spend more time with her grandkids and save some extra money.
New Problem: Mom doesn't want to move in with you. She is afraid that she will be viewed as a permanent on-site babysitter. She already raised her kids and, as much as she loves yours, doesn't want to be a mom again. She is 75 and saving money is not on the top of her list. Your dad did a great job of making sure that she would be well provided for. What would she be saving money for other than your inheritance?
Problem: Dad's eyesight isn't what it used to be and I don't feel he is safe behind the wheel.
Solution: We should take away his car keys.
New Problem: Dad's vision is fine except that he doesn't see well at night. He is terrified every time he drives but even more terrified that if he tells you then you will want to take his keys away. Rather than risk admitting his weaknesses and fears, he refuses to address what he knows is going on and becomes increasingly defensive.
Home Instead's own Mary Maxwell once quipped: "Be patient with me as I age. This is the first time I have ever been old." Aging is a new experience for everyone. There are no practice rounds. There are no take backs. The only person who knows less about aging than the person enduring it is the aging child watching it take place in the life of their loved one. Yet it is not uncommon for an adult child to jump into solving a collection of issues they know nothing about.
The 40-70 Rule is a program put together by Home Instead Senior Care to help families navigate some of these tricky conversations. The program includes a downloadable "Action Plan For Successful Aging" which covers a variety of topics important to discuss with an aging parent. Each topic is broken down using an 'Assess, Consider, Talk (ACT)' model which encourages every member of the situation to consider the aging process from a variety of different angles BEFORE talking about potential solutions.
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Mark Twain

Anybody mention Porkslap? Because that is nasty stuff.
DFH 120 Minute IPA is the one that stands out the most. But, I might choose that over Heineken or Corona
When I turned 21 I was stationed in Ft Hood, Tx. The first beer I ever bought was a case of Lone Star. I know some folks swear by it, but after 1 beer I gave the rest of the case away...
I bought a 12 pack from World Market that had 4 varieties of beer from around the world supposedly. It was packaged in a cool box and the bottles weren't screw off caps - Looked interesting. They all tasted the same and were terrible! The guy at the cash register was either stupid or lying because he said he had them and they were great. Maybe they were at one time but those things were bad. I actually threw them out which I think was a first for me.
After seeing so many people say Sam Adams cherry wheat, I'm kind of curious to try it lol
Primary 1: Doppelbock Primary 2: Dubbel (Demaciale) Bottled/Kegged:Storm Giant IPA, Bananas Foster Ale, Storm Giant IPA, Black IPA (Head Hop IPA), Hefeweizen, Chipotle Ale (Juan More Cerveza)

A Parti Québécois with Pierre Karl Péladeau as its leader would be able to beat the Quebec Liberals in an election, a new poll shows
Quebecers turning their backs on separatism is the best story to come out of Canadian politics in years.
The officer involved in a crash that killed a five-year-old was following the former director of the Quebec Liberal Party as part of an anti-corruption probe
The funky pants and sticker-plastered vehicles are just the beginning as workers and the province draw battle lines over a proposed reform of municipal pensions
The opposition Parti Quebecois argue the commission is unnecessary and is tasked with a job Premier Philippe Couillard's Liberal government should be doing itself
The party provided investigators with data from its computer servers, including some from director general Marie-Eve Ringuette, the Liberals said in a statement
'We are beyond cosmetic changes. We have to act firmly...To who, which generation, will we fob off the bill if we do not act?'
Back in 2012 Martin Coiteux complained the Liberals did nothing but expand the welfare state. Now the newly-elected MNA hopes to accomplish what Charest couldn't
There is no question but that, this spring, the strategic ground has shifted in a way that clears some paths for him that previously were muddy or obscured
The only problem with the Liberals' and New Democrats' pitch to Canada's embattled middle class is that it isn't embattled. It's a bit awkward. Plus the case against temporary foreign workers, and the case for clearer rules on state funerals.

Instead Bay Harbor Islands Police Chief John Ross suspended Johnson without pay for the week of September 11-15. Ross, a 29-year veteran of the Miami Police Department, described the series of events as "unfortunate" but also defended Johnson. "I can only say he's a hands-on guy. I think he was trying to solve a problem."
Ross said he had chosen to keep Johnson on the force in light of his otherwise unblemished record. He suggested that docking Johnson's pay was a punishment harsher than any court would have meted out (the boy has not pressed charges). "If you think about it, he's been fined about $1500," Ross said.
Although the boy had been relatively cooperative with police during previous runaway attempts, according to Robertazzi, he no longer responded to the detective in the weeks after Johnson's calls. Police found the boy in Miami Beach shortly after the internal investigation wrapped up, according to Chief Ross, returning him to his parents and bringing the case to a close.
A few days later, the boy ran away again.
