ICON Announces Peter Gray To Retire As CEO
ICON plc (NASDAQ:ICLR) (ISIN:IE0005711209), a global provider of outsourced development services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, today announced that Mr. Peter Gray has informed the Board of his decision to retire as CEO, after 14 years with the Company, the last 9 of which were as CEO. The Board has appointed Mr. Ciaran Murray, who has held the position of CFO for the last 6 years, to succeed Mr. Gray effective October 1, 2011. Mr. Murray has also been appointed as a member of the Board. Mr. Gray has agreed to take on the role of Vice Chairman to facilitate a smooth transition and to assist the Board in continuing strategic development.
Dr. Bruce Given, Chairman of ICON, commented "Peter's leadership has been fundamental in establishing ICON as an industry leading Company and creating a world class management team. His contribution to ICON's growth over the last number of years and to its success cannot be overstated. Peter has worked closely with the Board for several years in its development of a robust succession plan. We are therefore delighted that Peter will remain as Vice Chairman and that Ciaran will take on the role of CEO. Ciaran brings a deep knowledge of the industry together with extensive operational and global experience. He has a proven track record and has been a key member of the management team through ICON's transformation to a global leader".
"It has been a great honour to lead ICON through an extremely exciting phase of its development" said Peter Gray. "At a time of unprecedented change in the industry ICON is well positioned to capitalise on the investments we have been making in recent years and I believe that Ciaran is the right person to lead the organisation and its outstanding people through this next phase of growth."

1 lb. Boiled potatoes 1 cup flour 1/2 cup barley grains 1 tsp. baking powder 2 T margarine 2 T sugar pinch of salt 1 egg (optional) or instead of egg, grind in a blender 1 T. flax seeds very fine, like a powder and while blending (on a low speed) I add 1/4 cup water and blend until the mixture thickens. Mix all ingredients except butter. Melt the margarine and mix thoroughly with the rest. Form into 1 inch thick round cakes. Bake on hot griddle until brown.
This may sound like heresey on this forum, but is there a substitute for the spent grain in this recipe? I'm not an AG brewer (yet) and have no spent grains; can I substitute pearled barley? If so, I'm guessing I'd have to cook it 1st? Sounds like a tasty recipe & I'd like to try it. Regards, GF.
You should look into at least doing steeping grains. It's cheap, no harder than plain extract and will make your beer better.
Thank you for this Flack. This is definitely something I will try this weekend. I like recipes that allow me to recycle the spent grains and this one looks simple enough to teach my daughter. Anything that promotes "daddy-daughter-day" gets kudos in my book! -Tripod
Hope you have fun you'll have to let me know how it goes.

Orchard Lake
August 25, 2014Polish Mission honors American, Polish WWII vets
By Cari DeLamielleure-Scott
C & G Staff Writer
ORCHARD LAKE — Sept. 1, 1939, will haunt Polish history as the day the first shots of World War II were fired and Germany invaded Poland, according to JJ Przewozniak, curator of collections at the Polish Mission of the Orchard Lake Schools.
To remember the start of the war, the Polish community in Orchard Lake annually hosts a memorial event.
The Polish Mission will salute American and Polish veterans who dedicated themselves to the cause of freedom at the September 1939 Commemoration from 12:30-7 p.m. Sept. 7. Fifty percent of the event's proceeds will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
"The event itself … is Orchard Lake's proudest tradition. … This year — what we've been trying to put in place over the last three years — is a Polish and American commemoration together," Przewozniak said.
This year's commemoration will be the biggest event in its history, and the day will kick off at the Galeria and outdoors at the Shrine Chapel, where several museum exhibits will be displayed, including pieces from the Institute of National Remembrance of the Republic of Poland, the Museum of Polish History and the Galicja Jewish Museum, according to a press release. The exhibits will be on display from 12:30-5 p.m. This will be the first time they have been seen in North America, and the exhibits have all been translated into English.
"The anniversary this year is absolutely huge. We're going to have some of the few remaining Polish veterans from World War II in attendance as our most honored guest," Przewozniak said.
An original M187 75mm artillery piece from World War I will return to Orchard Lake for the veteran recognition ceremony. The quick-firing cannon is the first modern artillery piece — a hydro-pneumatic recoil mechanism allowed soldiers to shoot up to 15 rounds per minute, the press release stated. The cannon is the same one that would have been used by the Polish Army, Przewozniak said.
Mass will be celebrated in Polish by the Rev. Louis Madey at 1 p.m., and military flags will be presented by members of the U.S. military.
Following the Mass, attendees will parade through campus — led by the U.S. Marine Corps — and will end at North America's only monument erected in honor of the Katyn massacres of 1940 and the tragedy at Smolensk in 2010. Przewozniak said that retired Capt. Emil Kornacki — North America's last living survivor of Katyn and recipient of the Virtuti Militari, Poland's highest military honor for gallantry in combat — will speak about his experiences.
According to Przewozniak, Kornacki received the Virtuti Militari in 1944 for gallantry at the Battle of Monte Cassino as a member of the Polish Second Corps. That same year, he also received Poland's second-highest military honor — the Krzyz Walecznych, or Cross of Valour — for gallantry at the battle of Montefortino. The Virtuti Militari is equivalent to the American Medal of Honor, and Krzyz Walecznych is equivalent to the American Silver Star, he added.
A coin barbecue will be held at 2:30 p.m., and veterans with challenge coins will receive a free lunch. For all others, lunch is $7 and includes side dishes and a beverage.
The Detroit Children's Choir will open the evening's musical entertainment on the Shrine Chapel steps at 5 p.m., and the Orchard Lake Philharmonic Orchestra will perform from 5:30-7 p.m.

This top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball goes to about fiddy. Last year, I said the first base position is going through a transition. The position is still deep in that transition. We'll come out of the other side this year with a good idea of where we stand. If Pujols continues to fall, if the washed up ones are completely done and if the up-and-comers are still on the move. Hey, that sounds like a commencement speech from a school for porn. Okay, let's get into it because I can't count to twenty and this list goes on forever. As always, for each player there's my projections and where I see tiers starting and ending. There's the position eligibility chart for 2015 fantasy baseball, and all the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are under that linkie-ma-whosie. Anyway, here's the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Adam LaRoche
Earlier this offseason, it was reported that the Red Sox coaches didn't like Yoenis Cespedes. Wait until they get a load of Hanley Ramirez! If you were to put "Happiness That You Have Hanley" on the Y-axis and "Time Spent With Hanley" on the X-axis, you would find a line that starts at the top left and slopes right down to the bottom right. For what it's Wuertz, the enjoyment of Hanley matches directly with the chart of Pancake Eating. After one bite, "Mmm, that is delicious." After two bites, "Not bad at all." After three bites, "I'm gonna try and douse these with some maple syrup." After ten bites, "You gonna share your bacon or should I order my own?" That's Hanley. Try to douse him with maple syrup, but when it's July and your team is in the pennant chase and he has a sore hamstring, enjoy! From a real baseball standpoint, I hate the move for the Red Sox. You had Xander Bogaerts for short, you nabbed Panda for 3rd (which I'll get to shortly) and now you have Hanley playing left and Home Run Derby Champion Yoenis that you have to trade for the most you can get. (By the by, I love that everyone refers to Yoenis as Home Run Derby Champion Yoenis, so I will now do the same.) That's not even mentioning Allen Craig, Will Middlebrooks, Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley, Daniel Nava and Juan Francisco. It's kinda sad that all of those guys would be starting for the Padres (and Astros and Marlins and about ten other teams) and for the Red Sox they're trade bait. Maybe the Red Sox will also sign Han's brother, Head. From a fantasy perspective, this is about as good as it gets for Hanley. Will this mean he'll play 150 games? No, I didn't say that. It's hard to account for insouciance (Word of the Day!). If he shows up at Fenway in April and wants to play, great. If he shows up at Fenway in April and doesn't want to play until August, it wouldn't surprise me. If we get 150 games from him (it will be nothing short of a miracle), I'd give him the projections of 86/24/91/.266/17. I'd only count on a 130 games though, which would knock him to 72/20/84/.268/12. Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2015 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?After drudging through an Andy Dufresne-type tunnel for the top 20 catchers for 2014 fantasy baseball, I find myself with a group that actually really hurt or helped your team depending on how you drafted. If you went wrong with your 1st baseman, it could kill your season. Hey, Prince Fielder, no hard feelings from me. We are totally fine. Please enjoy these cyanide pills I made special for you. If you went right, you might've won your league. Last year, I said the end-of-the-season rankings of the 1st basemen was the sorriest group I'd ever seen. That remains true. Last year was sorrier. This group isn't exactly the meow's cat, but you didn't lose your league due to these guys. You lost your league due to guys that didn't make this list like Chris Davis, Mauer, Hosmer, Cuddyer, Votto, Trumbo, Allen Craig and the afatmentioned, Fielder. To recap, this final ranking is from our Fantasy Baseball Player Rater with my comments. Anyway, here's the top 20 1st basemen for 2014 fantasy baseball and how they compared to where I originally ranked them:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Let's break this down like Murray Chass would want it. Felix Hernandez has the 2nd best ERA in the AL, fourth most Ks, and 14 wins. When his team needed a win more than anything, so Grey (me) could possibly collect on a preseason bet he foolishly made for the Mariners to win the World Series, Felix choked up 8 ER in 4 2/3 IP, raising his ERA to 2.34. Felix has the 2nd best xFIP, 3rd best WAR for a pitcher and 8th best K-rate, but since we're doing this as Murray would've wanted it, "What the flip is xFIP and I fought in Dubya Dubya Two and F-Her doesn't know anything about WAR! Now stop with the Pollyanna chicken crap!" Did F-Her just lose the Cy Young award? He did if all the voters are subjected to a fifteen minute wait in a post office line with Mr. Chass. "Mr. Chass, did you print out an email to snail mail it?" "I don't trust the internet!" Did the Mariners just lose all hope at the playoffs? F-Her, you effed me. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Do other parts of the country say 'yous'? Maybe it's because I have South Jersey roots but I say it a lot. I also say "jawn" more than I probably should and I end up sounding like a crazy person out here in rural Ohio. Yous see that jawn? Yous see Yusmeiro Petit's jawn ($7,100) on that DraftKings jawn? No, Mike, we have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Well, let me explain this jawn to yous…
Petit has been solid since joining the Giants' rotation aside from the hiccup in Colorado. We'll forgive most pitchers for a hiccup in Colorado though. Take out that start, and the 29-year-old right-hander has thrown 22 innings and has only allowed five earned runs while striking out 26 batters. That's prettay prettay good. It's also not counting the 4+ innings of long relief with 5 Ks just before he entered the rotation. Petit draws the Padres in San Diego today. The Pads have a ho-hum 84 wRC+ against righties this season to go along with a 22% strikeout percentage (6th highest in baseball). As a team San Diego is slashing .234/.303/.344 in September. It's a nice matchup for the price any way you slice it.

Please, blog, may I have some more?If you've been scouring all your picture books for a proper fantasy hitter in the final week, look no further. Oswaldo Arcia was 3-for-4 with his 19th home run and two RBI last night. Arcia has a nice little six-game hitting streak, with four homers in that stretch. To be fair, however, he's also sat four games in that span with a tweaked muscle in his upper back. Injury concerns aside, Oswaldo is destroying baseballs when he's on the field. In his past six games, he's clubbed four homers and with 8 RBI. He's slugging .858 in the past two weeks while batting over .400, and with 19 homers (12 at cavernous Target Field) in 94 games, he's got serious power and might be someone to consider on draft day next year. He's worth the pick up in all leagues if you need some pop in the final week of the season. Oswaldo could power you to fantasy glory. He's missed some time in the past few days, but he hasn't shown any ill effects of the injury while on the field, so hopefully this back injury is behind him for the most part. Get it!? Ha! Either way that shouldn't discourage you from picking him up this hot little potato while he's mashing.
Here's what else happened in fantasy baseball Friday night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?What a world we live in. Just a couple of months ago, me telling you an Oakland stack would be a good idea would've lead to you rolling your eyes, giving me your best Charlie Sheen, and ignored the rest of what I had to say because I was clearly not giving any info others weren't already doling out. YO GUYS LISTEN TO ME, KING FELIX IS A MUST START TODAY. Sheeeiittt, like we don't know a top pitcher is a good get for the day. But again, days go by and still I think of the times when the Athletics were the stack du jour. You couldn't tune into any write up about DFS without being told to at least throw in a Brandon Moss or a Josh Donaldson. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Not only have the A's relinquished the lead in the AL West, they're now scratching and clawing just to stay the lead wild card for the AL. But that's what happens when guys like Moss hit 21 bombs in the first half and follow up in the second half with only three while hitting .178. Yes, it's been that brutal. Why did they trade away Cespedes again? Oh well, what's done is done. But that definitely makes them a nice stack on a day in which they should be good but probably won't be looked upon given their offensive struggles. Fair warning here: this stack call ain't for the faint of heart. The Athletics have scored more than 10 runs just twice in the last two months. This is an offense that's been giving us more struggle face than Rob Ryan could ever muster. But I will be building an Athletics stack for GPPs today and yes it will have it some Donaldson and Moss. Heck, it might even get a Coco Crisp, Sam Fuld, Josh Reddick, and/or Adam Dunn. We all know everyone is gonna be on the COLvsLAD game in terms of stacks but that doesn't always win you the tourney calls. You have to think outside the box and the Athletics have become just that. Oh and I guess we should talk a bit about why: Nick Tepesch. Hrm, you need more than that? Well what about his .378 wOBA away from Texas. Yes, he's worse on the road than he is at home. Hard to do, I know, but given the Rangers season we can't be all that surprised. But now that I've given you an off the wall stack, let's get down to business. Here's how I'd play today's DK slate the rest of the way…

Please, blog, may I have some more?Throughout the year I've learned many things about Daily Fantasy baseball. Avoid lefties against the Rockies at Coors, never trust a Nationals pitchers, and always target hitters on a hot streak. With the last lesson in mind I've complied a lineup entirely filled with smoking hot bats. This strategy has been wildly successful for me all year, and typically is a great way to get a potent lineup on a limited budget. A good way to figure this out is to take a deeper look at the stats over the last two weeks. I'm about to give you a lesson in my native tongue of Stat Geek.
There are a few metrics that are particularly telling and I personally feel hold more weight in daily fantasy. My two favorites are wOBA and wRC+. I was put onto wOBA earlier in the year by the one and only Sky, and I have to say it was a revaluation. wOBA if you don't know is based on linear weights and measures a players offensive contribution per plate appearance. Huh? I know right? I stole that definition from wiki. To put it in layman's terms they apply a value to each positive offensive contribution whether it be a walk, a single, home run, etc and divide that total by the number of plate appearances. I have to be honest it's not the only number I look at, but I now put more weight into that particular statistic than I do batting average, OBP, or OPS. It's a great way to get a quick snapshot of a player's overall performance without having to dig through stats for hours. Saving time on your homework is a huge advantage when playing daily fantasy. Of course you could just use Rudy's DFSbot but my opening would have been really short.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Dot dot dot. Kicks an end table. Picks up the phone. Dial tone. No one there. Flips the TV channel. Not really watching. Picks up phone. No one there. Flips the TV channel. Stops on a special about Tony Conigliaro. Sobs uncontrollably. Picks up the phone, dials, "Hello, I don't want to be alone, please come over. This is Grey. Albright. Momma Stanton, I'm your son's stalker. Please, don't hang up. We need each other right now. Hello? Hello?" Guess it's just us right now. It's lonely without Giancarlo Stanton. And his mollywhoppers. God, how I loved those mollwhoppers. It's late, I need rest, hoping for good news tomorrow. Giancarlo, mi novio, we sip from the same mug, even if you don't know it. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I've got serious questions surrounding the top pitching options today. Strasburg could quite possibly be the most overrated pitcher in the National League if not all of baseball. He gets owned by the Braves. James Shields faces the surging Detroit offense who he has a history of having trouble with. Samardzija has a history of really wearing down in September. If I have to go with one of the top salaried guys in DraftKings today, I'm taking Hisashi Iwakuma. His K rate versus the Astros is around 25% and they love to strike out. He still has some matchup issues with them so I'm going to fade all of the top salaried pitchers on DraftKings today.
Taking risks is the name of the game in DFS and I'm rolling the dice with the surging Rockies youngster Tyler Matzek. With a thrifty price tag of only $7,300 and facing a Mets squad who just lost its leading threat against lefties in David Wright for the year, Matzek should be poised to deliver plenty of value for today's DraftKings contests. Matzek has historically struggled with his control in the minor leagues, but seems to have figured things out the "Rockies way". They preach pitching to contact and he's relinquished his obsession with getting punch outs in lieu of letting guys on base. Since joining the senior circuit he's lowered his WHIP by nearly .2 and his ERA has been cascading downward of late. He's made 4 consecutive quality starts with a streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings heading into his matchups against the Mets. Metco suppresses hitting as we all know and the Mets hold the 3rd worst wOBA versus southpaws and the 2nd worst K rate in all of baseball.
I got plenty more great plays today below, but nothing really compares to the DFSBot for daily fantasy baseball. Make sure you check today's rankings for some couponless savings.
If you haven't tried out DraftKings daily baseball contests, come on down and take a stab at a few extra bucks to bolster your football season's bankroll. We got a contest full of Razzball writers and friends to get ya goin with this 10 teamer. Just remember to sign up through us before you do. It's how we know you care!
With Matzek at the eye of the Schlurricane today, here's the rest of the destructive debris to wreak havoc on your opponents.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Connors Professor to Present Research Findings at OSU Conference
Connors State College Psychology Professor, Dr. Gary Grady, will present a poster on his Native American College Students' Self-Esteem research at the Oklahoma Network for the Teaching of Psychology conference at Oklahoma State University on Friday. The presentation will cover Grady's six-year research project designed to determine why the number of Native Americans enrolled in college is low.
           "I was curious as to why few Native American high school graduates go to college," said Grady. "Only 18 percent of Native American high school graduates go to college, compared to 42 percent of Caucasians and 32 percent of African Americans."
Approximately 30% of Connors' students are Native Americans and Connors has ranked as high as 12th in the nation in getting Native American college students a degree. With a large native student population it seemed that Connors was perfectly situated to study the issue.
"Three hundred and ninety-five of my students have participated in the research over the last six years," said Grady. "I hypothesized that one of the reasons for low college enrollment among Native Americans is low self-esteem. The findings of my research were surprising."
Contrary to his hypothesis, the self-esteem levels of Connors Native American students was actually higher than the non-native students and the results showed that native parents do a better job of the parenting skills correlated with self-esteem.
"I am now gathering data from Native American adults who have never attended college, to see if their self-esteem levels are lower – thus a possible explanation as to why they didn't go to college," Grady said. "I am also arranging to spend time on a Native American reservation in Nebraska to gather data from the people who live on the reservation, to compare it to Native American adults who live off-reservation."
           Grady will present his findings to high school through graduate school psychology teachers.
           "OSU is particularly interested in my research because they have the only Native Americans in Psychology program in the country," he said. "We need to get more Native American students to study psychology in graduate school. Studies such as mine are a first step in obtaining that goal."Â

Raj Thackeray-led MNS, whose members assaulted SP legislator Abu Asim Azmi in the Maharashtra Assmebly, on Wednesday said they would apologise to the House for their action but not to the MLA.
"We will apologise in the Assembly as it was not our intention to malign the image of the House. However, there is no question of apologising to Azmi," MNS leader Atul Sarpotdar told PTI.
"The whole controversy started because of one person -- Abu Asim Azmi. It was not our intention to lower the dignity of the House. What happened was a spontaneous reaction by our MLAs," Mr. Sarpotdar said.
Raj Thackeray had issued a statement asking all MLAs in the Assembly to take oath in Marathi but Mr. Azmi deliberately chose to take oath in Hindi, Mr. Sarpotdar said.
"MNS group leader in Assembly, Bala Nandgaonkar, will speak to Raj Thackeray on Wednesday on the issue of tendering an apology for Monday's incident and would, during the course of the day, apologise to the House," Sarpotdar said.
Keywords: MNS MLAs, Abu Azmi, tender apology, to the Assembly, not to Azmi, Raj Thackeray

Ground Stewardess: Job Description, Duties and Requirements
A ground stewardess requires no formal education. Learn about the training, job duties and other requirements to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
The term ground stewardess is not a commonly used title in the U.S. However, airline companies in the states do employ personnel who work on the ground to ensure the smooth transport of passengers to and from their airplanes. A person who does this job is called a passenger service agent. Passenger service agents typically have a high school diploma and previous customer service experience.
Required Education | High school diploma; company-sponsored training may also be required |
Other Requirements | Customer service experience recommended; some airlines may require candidates to be bilingual; applicants may have to pass a drug and background screening |
Projected Job Growth* | 13% between 2012 and 2022 (customer service representatives) |
Median Salary (2013)* | $30,870 (customer service representatives) |
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Job Description
Passenger service agents are hired by airlines to attend to customers before, after or between flights. People in this position work intensively with the public, answering questions and assisting passengers with various needs. Some passenger service agents are hired to work on a part-time basis, while others work full-time. Work hours can be irregular, due to the fact that most airports operate 24 hours per day.
Taking reservations, issuing tickets, verifying passenger identification, printing boarding passes and helping travelers to check in their baggage at ticket counters are some of the responsibilities of passenger service agents. Ensuring the delivery of baggage and conducting security screenings of passengers and their baggage may be required as well.
Passenger service agents also work at departure and arrival gates where they check tickets, verify passenger counts and announce boarding sections. Other tasks include responding to telephone inquiries and providing flight departure and arrival information. Passenger service agents also assist those needing special attention, including the elderly and unaccompanied minors, as well as passengers who have missed their flights.
Salary and Employment Outlook
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) doesn't have salary or employment outlook information for ground stewardesses or passenger service agents; however, it indicated that the related field of customer service representatives could see 13% growth in employment from 2012 to 2022. In May 2013, the BLS reported the median salary was $30,870 for customer service representatives.
The Federal Aviation Administration's Aviation Careers Series publication on non-flying airline professions states that a high school diploma is the minimum educational requirement for a passenger service agent (www.ntl.bts.gov). According to a January 2011 search of job postings on CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com, airlines hiring for these positions also prefer applicants who have prior customer service experience. Airlines may also require candidates to be bilingual or multilingual. Other attributes requested by employers include a professional appearance, cooperative attitude and flexibility in terms of scheduling.
Also per job listings, some airlines prefer computer experience with industry software, though this is not usually a requirement. Applicants may have to pass a drug screening and background investigation. Airlines may also require newly hired employees to complete a company-sponsored training program.

I was buying a few 'traded or retired' replica jerseys in a store here in Canada yesterday, for 20 bucks each. Comparing the Browns one I got myself (don't ask) with the Ricky Williams I got for my UK-based Dolphin-fan friend, I was struck by how much jerseys vary in detail and quality... eg. the Browns jersey has almost no detailing and embossed numbers and name, while the Fish jersey has nice stitched-on numbers plus helmet logos on the sleeves.. yet the jerseys all cost the same. Is this a result of some teams being cheapskates and making more money per jersey, while others create a more attractive jersey with the aim of selling more of 'em? Sorry, I'm bored.
No. It depends on when the jerseys were made, and who made them. Prior to the NFL going with Reebok (NFL Equipment) for the 2002 season, teams could use their own manufacturer. Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Wilson, Apex, Logo Athletic these were all companies who manufactured jerseys for teams in the past 15 years. They had different quality of replica jersey as well. Since NFLE/RBK took over, the replicas have increased in quality. All replicas are a little heavier, though still screen printed, and have the NFLE patch on the collar. They also introduced a "replithentic" jersey, a midweight with replica weight but the numbers and letters stitched on. While a replica retails for about $70-75 now, the replithentics are $100-125. Authentics are $225. It would be tough for me to tell you the differences in your jerseys without seeing them or knowing who makes them, but it's a manufacturer's quality issue, not a team quality issue.
Mm yes, nice to get such a good answer. However, both the jerseys I mentioned are Reebok and post 2002. The Browns one is Garcia, from 2004. (I also got a Bledsoe Bills one, but not sure I can wear a Bills jersey with a clear consience...!) Still, I had no idea that there were different qualities or replica. Interesting.
Does the Browns' jersey have an NFLE logo on the collar? Also, there is no stitching whatsoever on replicas. If there's something sewn on the Williams one, you got a better deal, because you got the replithentic. The NFL has started to make cheaper, mass produced jerseys late in the season for teams on a playoff push that have sold out of their regular replicas, and they look bad. Patriots jerseys without the side striping and shoulder "wing", Steelers jerseys with a small "half-stripe" on the sleeve, and Bengals jerseys that just have a couple of orange tiger stripes on the sleeve instead of their actual pattern. If I remember correctly, this began in 04, but I can't imagine the Browns would be involved, since they are pretty much awful, and Garcia jerseys weren't lighting the world on fire. Reebok did make some jerseys in 2001 and early 2002 that were much lighter weight and had no NFLE shield, but that obviously would not explain your Garcia jersey.
Yes, the Garcia jersey has the NFL shield on the collar. I guess it's as simple as that the Browns jersey is a replica while the Bledsoe and Williams are 'replithentic'. I'm not complaining, regardless, 20 bucks (Canadian) was an awesome price... NB: Why Garcia/Browns?? I'm running the 2004 Browns in the 'Front Office Football' PC strategy game, and have thus developed a certain affection for them. Incidentally, having seen Garcia constantly asking team-mates on the sidelines if they have any gum on more than one NFL Films production, I have to wonder why a millionaire NFL quarterback doesn't just buy his own damn gum....

Man arraigned in child's taped beating - Yahoo! News
This guy need to be beaten till he drools and has to wear a bump cap. I feel sorry for the kid, I can only hope that the kid's father cares and is furious. I know I'd be in jail for messing some one up if they ever harmed my son.DETROIT - A man was arraigned Sunday on child abuse charges in the beating of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son that was captured on a convenience store surveillance tape.
The video from Dec. 21 shows a man hitting, kicking and stepping on a child over a four-minute span. The man also is seen hitting the child with a cooler door and pauses when other customers walk nearby.
Joseph Gray, 27, of Detroit, was arrested Friday night after viewers saw his photo on televised news reports that also broadcast portions of the tape. Detroit police had released the tape that day to help capture him.
Police said investigators were assured by the boy's relatives that the child was OK.
Gray was arraigned by video on charges of second- and third-degree child abuse, and a preliminary examination was set for Jan. 17. Gray didn't have a lawyer present at the hearing.
Messages seeking comment left at two telephone listings in Detroit for the name Joseph Gray were not immediately returned.

Akatsuki x reader :: Tobi ending ::
Tobi" Konan just stared before a giant grin got plastered on her face
"soooo~ you like the little 'good boy' Tobi huh ___" you blushed in a scarlet red color at the thought of the cute childish boy.
"did i just not tell you?"
"yeah you did
"so yeah i like him
"hmmm i think i know a way to get his attention~"
"huh, how??"
"welllll~ we give you a little make over~"
"oh dear god why?"
"come on"
you should have just said no one
When Konan had finished her make over on you had your hair straight and a little (f/c) pin in it and you where wearing a light (pick a color) tight, long sleeved t-shirt with a more baggy t-shirt on that was (pick a color) and had a puppy that had (color) fur with a (color) spot on his eye. You had short shorts on that where (color) and (color) sneakers.
"Konan where is the point in this?"
"to make you look cute, you know Tobi loves cute things"
you sighed "fine
Konan just giggled "now go"
she then pushed you out but you hit Hidan
and you fell on you ass.
"(name)? HAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU, YOU LOOK SO STUPID!!"
you just looked down on the floor before standing up and punching Hidan right in the face.
with out you knowing Tobi was standing there watching as you had punched Hidan straight in the face. Man he had always loved that about you, you where a strong and a pretty lady. You saw Tobi standing there and blushed a bit walking over to him.
"hey Tobi"
"Hello ___-chan"
you looked a bit to the side on the floor, it was suddenly so interesting
"umm ___-chan"
"Tobi was wondering, why is ___ dressed like that
not that Tobi dose not mind its just that Tobi dose not see you dressed like this often
"oh it was Konan she wanted to dress me like this so i let her"
Tobi understands now
" OH GOD! when he spoke like that, it just made you want to tackle glomp hug him right on the spot. he was just way to cute!!
"umm ___, Tobi thinks you are very cute like that
" then he magically got blush on his mask, weird right but still he called you cute, you felt like fainting.
"W-well thank you Tobi" you smiled sweetly at him making him blush even more and poke his fingers together (like Hinata dose), DEAR GOD WHY DOSE HE HAVE TO BE SO CUTE?!
would you minded if i
.if i--ummm
"if you?"
"K-kissed you
" he looked down at the floor as you took a step forward
"i would not mind at all Tobi"
now again he blushed hard
you saw him take his mask of, yes you heard me he took it off, okay now the sight you where seeing right now was this. imagine a cute little fluffy puppy dog that was turned human and beat up badly like with a hockey stick or something, you had to use all your strength now to 'awww' or tackle glomp hug him right at the spot. Tobi blushed hard and looked at the floor for a moment before looking back at you and coming closer a bit.
"umm are you sure that Tobi can kiss you ___?"
"yes I'm sure Tobi" you said and smiled. Tobi took a deep breath and then came closer to you and you leaned in as well until your lips met each other, his hands found a way around your waist and yours into his hair. You felt his tongue stroke your bottom lip asking to be let in like a little puppy, inside you 'aww'ed over it, you opened your mouth for him and he explored your mouth until he just let his tongue stroke yours. the kiss then ended and you grabbed his hand nuzzling into his neck as he griped on your hand as well smiling.
"Tobi Loves you ___"
"___ Loves Tobi as well" you said and giggled.
Hidan had stood up and seen that with wide eyes and was about to say something but Konan came and hit him in the head with a frying pan before he could say anything and dragged him away.

Launched in Palestine three month ago, the website began to gain foothold after appearing in Dubai Arabnet conference.
The site, according to its chief executive, Ashraf Al Kiswani, offers services and products according to the Islamic Shari`ah.
Along with relationship advices, the site offers sex advice to married Muslim couples.
The website's blog shows a picture of the fatwa that permits the site's activities.
"There is in general a lack of education and a discomfort for professors and teachers talking about this subject openly, so that is why we launched Karaz," Al Kiswani said.
"It provides marital and sexual aids that are within the realm of Islam, so they have to be acceptable by Islamic guidelines – anything for sexual enhancement, like creams, lotions, pills, massage oils and lingerie, things that can enhance the playfulness between husband and wife.
"Islam promotes anything that helps bridge the gap between husband and wife and it is a firm belief that sexual intimacy is built on strong communication.
"It helps make a happier environment at home."
Curbing Divorce
The website founder asserted that they aimed at cutting climbing divorce rates in the Arab world by offering help in a constructive way.
"We have a blog section that has a wide range of topics including sexual health, sex in Islam and relationship advice and tips to make the overall experience for husbands and wives more happy," Al Kiswani said.
"We want to reduce the cases of infidelity. If they are happy and trying new things, then there is no need to go and look for it elsewhere."
Allah created the sexual desire in humans. It is as normal as is the desire for food or shelter.
Yet, Islam is aware of educating man on the proper way of satisfying his desire in the light of its noble teachings.
Al Kiswani added that initial fear from the community was tackled easily after convincing the customers on the important message it carries.
"We have a fatwa to say that this is acceptable in Islam," he said.
"This is a Sharia-compliant website and we are trying to bridge the gap between husband and wife.
"Once I tell them that it is not haram then it is usually fine, and a lot of them think it is a great idea."

When the U.S. housing bubble burst the aftershocks were at the heart of the financial crisis and Great Recession, so you might think that policymakers would avoid at all costs the kinds of policies that fed the housing bubble. Enter the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which yesterday put into effect a 0.50 percent (50 basis points) reduction in the premiums borrowers must pay for taxpayer-backed FHA mortgage insurance.
Primer: The Sustainable Growth Rate
Medicare accounted for an unsustainable 14 percent of federal spending in 2013.
The Daily Dish
A key piece of economic news was yesterday's Case-Shiller Home Price Indices which showed a nationwide deceleration in the rate of home price appreciation. The national average is now rising at a rate of 6.2 percent over the past 12 months. The release generated some hand-wringing about the possibility that the housing recovery might stall, something that has clearly happened in Phoenix and other metropolitan areas.
The Daily Dish
The Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare programs released their annual reports yesterday. Read the coverage and claims contained therein carefully, with an eye for two key moments of spin: (1) the fiscal news is good and the programs are fine, and (2) Obamacare has improved the outlook for Medicare. Instead, remember this: (3) both programs are fiscal toast and need immediate reforms to continue to provide future seniors with an appropriate safety net.
Six Questions for HHS Secretary Nominee Sylvia Matthews Burwell
Senate confirmation hearings begin this week for Sylvia Matthews Burwell–currently the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the President's pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Burwell would replace outgoing HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who has held the office since April 2009. Ms. Burwell should move to make HHS a more transparent, accountable organization under her leadership.
The Daily Dish
The Fed released its beige book — a summary of on-the-ground observations in each of the 12 Federal Reserve districts — yesterday. The summary was simple: "Reports from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts suggest economic activity increased in most regions of the country since the previous report.

CMS Rulemaking and Medicare Part D: Stifling Innovation, Limiting Access, and Decreasing Quality
In January the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed new regulations for Medicare Part D that would limit plan options, restrict competition, and interfere with plans' negotiations. Under the guise of ordinary rulemaking, the proposed regulations are a fundamental contravention of the policy principles that have made Part D a popular, low-cost, and innovative program. If implemented, the taxpayer will face higher budget costs, millions of seniors will lose their preferred plans, benefits will diminish, and premiums will rise.
The Declining Prominence of Medicare Part A
At its inception, Medicare was designed to be a hospital insurance plan for the elderly, motivated by expensive hospital stays that neither the hospitals nor their aging patients could afford.
Primer: Recovery Audit Contractor Program and the "Two Midnight" Rule
The Recovery Audit (RA) Program exists to detect and correct improper claims to the Medicare program. The contracted firms are paid a portion of their recoveries, so the program delivers savings to the Medicare Trust Fund at no cost.

Wells Fargo Asset Management Makes A Strategic Investment In The Rock Creek Group
Wells Fargo Asset Management (WFAM) today announced that it had acquired a minority ownership stake in privately held The Rock Creek Group (Rock Creek), a Washington, D.C.-based fund of hedge funds firm with approximately $7 billion in assets under management. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Rock Creek provides commingled and customized multi-manager alternatives and long-only investment solutions to institutional clients. The firm designs and implements customized fund of hedge funds and emerging market portfolios through top-down asset allocation and manager selection, leveraging Rock Creek's sophisticated, proprietary analytics platform Rock Creek Solutions.
Rock Creek was established in 2002 by Afsaneh Beschloss, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the firm. Previously, Beschloss was the Treasurer and Chief Investment Officer of the World Bank, responsible for managing $65 billion in assets and a $30 billion funding strategy, as well as $160 billion in derivatives and structured products. In this position, she was instrumental in developing the World Bank's portfolio of alternative investments and private equity investments.
"We are pleased to be partnering with one of the world's leading and most respected diversified financial services firms," Beschloss said. "We believe this strategic partnership with Wells Fargo Asset Management will further enhance our ability to offer industry leading solutions and services to our clients, while maintaining our corporate culture and institutional investment process."
WFAM is making this investment through the Affiliated Managers Division, which is headed by Tom Hoops and employs a multi-boutique asset management model. The 50-member Rock Creek team will remain independent with no change in its structure, investment philosophy or process, team and investment committee composition, or location; all day-to-day management will reside with the current Rock Creek team, which will continue to be led by Beschloss. WFAM will take a minority ownership stake, with the Rock Creek management team and employees having a majority equity stake in the firm. This partnership further increases the long-term alignment of interests between Rock Creek and its clients as it involves a broadening of the equity ownership among Rock Creek's team. WFAM may acquire additional ownership interests in Rock Creek through long-term put and call arrangements in subsequent years, subject to customary conditions.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Nexgrill has given me wrong advice repeatedly about how to replace a main valve in my 4 burner jenn air stainless grill. I need to remove the control panel to get to the bad main valve and I have removed the two screws from around each knob assembly but the control panel will not come off. Rather than start removing all other screws, I need to know how to remove just the control panel so I can replace the main valve. Nexgrill is the technical advisor for Jenn air and they are terrible, wrong advice, phones go unanswered, bad attitudes of technical people, they have had 100's of recalls on their grills and operate out of a basement somewhere in los angeles. Really unscrupulous and irresponsible company. Can someone help me with sound technical advice regarding removing the control panel on my Jenn air grill. I wish I could find a way to replace the main valve assembly without removing the control panel but it doesn't seem possible.
Hi, I completely understand your concern and know all too well why you are upset. I can not help you with the gas problem that you have, but may be able to add a bit of fuel to the fire with Jenn Air. I have been involved with many bad products in my time, and have found that when all else fails, contacting the maker of the product via email can help. I did so with several items and have gotten about a 75% positive response. In this case, I would contact Jenn Air through their website and complain about all of your issues from the support to the cooktop problems. Sometimes companies are totally unaware of the service that some outside people are giving and will take over the problems themselves. I did this with GMC or General Motors just recently. If you already tried this, please disregard my words here. I feel that even if you don't get a reply from the company, at least you gave it a shot. Please let me know how you make out. Kent
I agree with Kent... you need to have a conversation with Jenn-Air. Do you have the service manual for this product? Some companies put excellent service literature on their Web sites, which can then be downloaded and reviewed at your leisure. (Briggs & Stratton has terrific on-line service information, for example.) Good luck getting this grill working properly. Contacting Jenn-Air directly sounds like the next step for you. --Bob
I contacted Maytag and Jenn Air and both were absolutely useless. The manual is very brief and does not detail anything worthwhile such as schematics or instructions, just recipes and a vague picture of the parts. Maytag/Jenn air begs off by saying they are not responsible for anything since they farm out grills to Nex grill. After 3 phone calls and 45 minutes on hold and being transferred to numerous different departments, the concensus was the same-they take no responsibility. Anyone considering buying anything with Jenn air name on it should reconsider; they are irresponsible and have no customer service whatsoever. I took the appliance back to the seller for a refund.
Glad to hear that you got it resolved in some fashion. --Bob
Jenn Air goes into my DO NOT BUY BOOK! Thanks for the update and letting us know about this. Glad you got your money back. Lorace Too bad! if they'd treated you well, think of the GOOD influence your posts could have been. Some companies think only of themselves, but their customers are what can make or break them!
First of all, Jenn-Air does not make gas grills. Never have. The Jenn-Air grill you are referring to is made by Nexgrill out of China. The Jenn-Air name has been licensed by a number of sellers. I understand the latest Nexgrill "Jenn-Air" grills at Lowe's are very good quality and the support at Nexgrill has improved siginificantly.
Thanks for the info! --Bob
I purchased a new Jenn-Air gas grill from Lowes. When it was delivered the Infrared Burner was cracked and would not light. Lowe's said to call the Jenn-Air warranty people. I did - it took about 45 minutes to get them on the phone. They said they would ship me a new burner - that was on June 1st. Today is June 21st and the burner still has not arrived. The email address that Jenn-Air provides is worthless. I am shocked at the lack of customer service by this company. rg
This is the second Jenn-Air stainless steel BBQ I have had. Lowe's replaced the first one because the control knobs would get so hot after cooking for more than an hour you could not touch them without burning yourself. Jenn-Air sent me fiber washers to install under the gas valves that was supposed to fix the problem, but to install the washers you have to disassemble most of the grill. I sent the grill back to Lowe's since it was only 4 months old and under warranty. The replacement grill is doing the same thing. Jenn-Air has been ignoring my calls until I infrormed them that I have filed a comlaint with the consumers product safety commission and told them I believe there is a risk of both fire and explosion since this is a natural gas grill. I was also told by the BBQ tech at Lowe's the gas manifold on my first grill was burned so bad that he did not trust it and had to be replaced. Jenn-Air is blaming the problem on wind going thru the vents in the back of the grill, I don't believe this. Has anyone else had this problem with a Jenn-Air grill? Eddie
Thanks for sharing with these comments. I don't h ave any answers for you but I'm hoping that someone will. --Bob
Well, I am in the market for a SS grill. Imagine my surprise when I found a bunch of American brands selling a grill made by Nexgrill in China. My opinion of American companies continues to slide as they sell their names and reputations. The Jenn Air grill is made by NexGrill and sports sturdy, welded SS304 construction with cast brass burners. I called the Nexgrill number a couple times and was answered by a live person who was eager to please and helpful. This was before I bought the grill. The $649 price (minus 10% for signing up for a credit card) was in my modest price range. Lighter weight constructed American made grills were over $1200 and not in my price range. It was the right decision for me and I'm very happy with it. You might stroll down to Lowes and compare it to the other models.
Hi all, I noticed that several of you had the standard issues that many have faced when purchasing these grills. I've had mine for well over a year and purchased it during the height of Nexgrills customer service issues. They had the basic "supply can't keep up with demand" issue. I think they have gotten their act together and are doing a much better job of taking care of their customers. If anyone has any questions about these units you may want to go to the forums. Here is the link http://www.bbqsource-forums.com/invboard/index.php?showforum=4 There are many of us that can help out with some of the standard issues that everyone may be having. I still think it's tough to find a grill in this price range that can compete with these units. Happy grilling!!!
Thanks for taking the time to update us, dwost! --Bob
I just bought a 48,000 btu jenn-aire gas grill at lowe's three weeks ago, the first time I used it the gas knobs got hot and the middle burner wouldn't lite. I went to lowe's yesterday and they told me that they never had anyone complain about this problem before, I told them when I bring it back to have a tank of gas and they can test it themselves. They are building me another grill today but after reading your post its sounds like the next one might do the same, any advise?
Purchased four-burner Jenn-Air grill last year. Was very disappointed with the burner temperature. Meat did not fry. Sent letters to president of Lowe's and Maytag. Heard from Lowe's HQ within a week and a call from local store manager the same day I heard from Lowe's corporate office. Lowe's offered to return my money, exchange for different manufacturer, or replace. I decided to replace with the latest manufactured product, thinking that improvements have been made. Needless to say it's still a dog. I wouldn't buy a Maytag product again. It's no wonder they had to sell the company. Many kudos to Lowe's for at least trying to correct a problem that is not their fault.
Grill temperature problems here also. After 15 minutes of "Hi" burn-time, there are spots directly above the burners where I can hold my hand 1" above the grill. You're right...meat doesn't cook there. I bought the largest Stainless-Steel Jennair that I could find at Lowe's....cost me about $1000. I chose this model for it's good looks and quality construction, and then proceeded to build it into my outdoor under-deck kitchen. Because I built it into tile counter-tops etc, taking it back to Lowe's just isn't an option. Does anybody have any advice on how to improve burner output or re-configure/retro-fit components?
Hope you've fixed your problem. If not, may I through out some advise? If your grill came delivered to you already set up for natural gas and you want to use it that way, you must remove the regulator from under the grill and hook the gas line directly. You see, you have a natural gas regulator at the site where your gas comes into your home. This reg. takes the street pressure and reduces it to about 7 psi for home use. Adding another reg. reduces the pressure again and this creates a grill that will always be cooking on low. If you have gas appliances in your home you will notice that they all have regulators. This is to keep an INDOOR gas appliance safe. An OUTDOOR gas grill needs to get to 500 degrees within 10 minutes or so or why have one. We can't cook everything on low. Another possibility is that you may have purchased a bbq that is too big (too high of a btu rating) for your gas supply. In this case you should call your local gas utility and ask them to do a calculation for you. Then if necessary another dedicated gas line should be run to your grill. Or finally, there's a possibility that the grill was mislabled or put together incorrectly. Yellow flame=not enough air. Too much air= jumping flame, loud jet like burners. I have a Jenn Air 3 burner plus rotis and it works great. Best grill I've ever owned
Thanks for the useful tips! --Bob

WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers and other officials fighting over gun control invited the husband of a woman who was killed in the Connecticut school shooting to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night.
But Bill Sherlach declined.
He says he'd rather work within a group to see the gun issue addressed as part of a comprehensive effort to reduce violence, than become the nationally televised face of tragedy. He also doesn't want to be part of the heated rift over gun control that politics and dueling news conferences seem to inflame.
Victims of tragedy long have played major roles in the nation's most dramatic public policy debates, and there are few more bitter or expensive ones than this year's legislative battle over gun control.

So I was looking to see if anyone can shed some light on the straining process. I purschased a nylon bag for the hops while boiling, I also purchase a nylon bag to go over the primary buckets to filter out from the boil to the primary. I was also wonder should I filter from the primary to the secondary carboey with funnel that has a strainer. Or is all of this over kill ?
Not only overkill but highly not recommended. You want to siphon quietly into the 'secondary'. Any type of filtering at that point will introduce undesired oxygen into your beer.
My opinion would be overkill. I put the hops right in the kettle, though I did use a bag once. Just seems like extra work to me. Once cooled, I siphon the wort from the kettle to my primary. I try to keep the sediment (hop sludge and break material) out, but no harm no foul if some moves from kettle to primary. Some folks just dump the entire contents of the kettle--hop sludge and all--into the primary. My neighbor, a fellow brewer, does this, with no problems that I've been able to detect. I've only used a secondary 2 times: my first batch and when I let a beer sit on oak for week or 2. In both cases I tried to get as much beer and as little sediment as possible, but again it's not big deal if some sediment is picked up.
[QUOTE=BendBrewer;2443525]You want to siphon quietly into the 'secondary'. Any type of filtering at that point will introduce undesired oxygen into your beer.[/QUOTE +1, Absolutely.
Thanks alot I am just trying to get the best possible grasp on the whole process before I start my first batch.
I just started using a hop bag two batches ago. I used to clog that little strainer in the funnel so badly that I'd give up, pull it out and dump everything into the primary. Ugh, what a pita. No longer. With the hop bag (and I've now used it with pellet and whole hops) I no longer have any issues of that strainer clogging. Much less junk goes in the primary. I won't go back to not using one now. Mind you, I do not have a boil kettle with a valve on it. So I'm pouring the kettle into the funnel. If you whirlpool and have a valve, you likely wouldn't have the problems I have with the strainer. As for going to secondary (or bottling bucket for that matter), once initial fermentation has slowed, any movement between vessels should be as "quiet" as possible. You should be siphoning, not pouring via a funnel.
Does anyone use two glass carboys for your brewing process. One for the primary and one for the secondary. I just feel like the glass is always better.
Que: Bottled: Autumn Amber Ale Primaries: Honey Brown Ale Secondary: Empty
Maybe this is unconventional, but I usually siphon as much as possible from kettle to the primary fermenter, leaving behind about 20% with all of the sludge (hops + break material). I will then take this remaining 20% and pour it through a 5gal nylon strainer bag, swishing it around to get as much liquid through as possible, and then I squeeze the remainder out by hand. This captures most, if not all, of the hops and a good portion of the trub stays in the bag as well. I don't like wasting wort, and it doesn't seem to matter if some trub goes through the bag. I DO like to get all of the hops out of there, so this method works well for me. As far as filtering at any other point, it's a no-no due to airation of the wort. Airation is desirable during transfer from kettle to primary, so filtering is okay at that point.
