2015 NFL Draft: Way Too Early Big Board
By David Seigerman
Welcome back, Ifo.
When I released my "Way Too Early Big Board" a year in advance of the 2014 NFL Draft, Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu was my 32nd-best prospect, the erstwhile last pick of the first round.
Ekpre-Olomu had a terrific 2013 season. He was second on the team in tackles and interceptions, was named a second-team All-American by a variety of outlets, was a semifinalists for the Thorpe Award. Long story short, Ekpre-Olomu decided to return to Eugene and, in doing so, also earned himself a return to my Way Too Early Big Board for a second season.
He's the only one. Everyone else on last year's list has moved on and is gainfully employed by the NFL.
And Ekpre-Olomu is now my top-ranked cornerback prospect for the 2015 NFL Draft, the 11th best prospect overall.
Here's a look at the top 32 prospects, who -- if the draft were today instead of 10 months away or more -- would fill up the first round of the 2015 draft.
Cedric Ogbuehi | T | Texas A&M | Ogbuehi will be the third A&M tackle in three years to go top 10. He's better technically than Luke Joeckel was at this point in his career, and he's more athletic than Jake Matthews. His first season at left tackle could turn him into the draft's top prospect. |
Leonard Williams | DE | USC | Williams' versatility will make him really appealing to any team running a hybrid defensive front. He's big enough (6-foot-5, 290 pounds) to play tackle in a 4-3 front or end in a 3-4, though he has the natural pass rush instincts of a 4-3 DE. |
Randy Gregory | DE | Nebraska | He's not the once-in-a-generation pass rusher that Jadeveon Clowney was. But Gregory showed power and explosiveness in his first season at Nebraska, and sure looks like the real deal. |
Shilique Calhoun | DE | Michigan State | In a draft class deep with pass rushers, Calhoun's name will be atop a lot of wish lists. He has the size (6-4, 250) to play DE in the NFL, and he has the burst and athleticism to convert to an outside backer in a 3-4 at the next level. |
Marcus Mariota | QB | Oregon | Oregon's spread offense creates little need for quarterbacks to have read too deep into their progressions. But Mariota showed me all the decision-making capabilities when he decided to return to school and continue to develop as a pocket passer. |
Andrus Peat | T | Stanford | If Peat were to develop as expected during his junior season, he could challenge Ogbuehi as the top tackle -- maybe even the top prospect -- in the 2015 NFL Draft. He's gigantic (6-7, 312) but is shockingly fluid and athletic for a guy his size. |
Jameis Winston | QB | Florida State | There's little Winston can't do on the field. It's the lack of maturity he's displayed off the field that may keep him from being the first QB taken. |
Vic Beasley | OLB | Clemson | With 13 sacks and 23 TFL a year ago, the 6-2, 235-pound Beasley projects as one of the top rush LB prospects in the draft. He's a better prospect than Dee Ford was this year. |
Brandon Scherff | T | Iowa | There were observers in the Big Ten who felt that Scherff was every bit the prospect that Taylor Lewan was. Right now, his run blocking prowess far exceeds his pass protection experience. But there's no reason to suspect this force at the point of attack won't be able to do anything asked of him at the next level. |
Cameron Erving | T | Florida State | Erving could have been a first-round pick this season. Another year under his belt on the offensive side of the ball could turn him into a top-10 prospect. |
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu | CB | Oregon | Ekpre-Olomu is scheme versatile and could be a good fit in any system. While he's a committed run-stopper, he's only 5-10 and could struggle against the NFL's biggest, most physical receivers. |
Todd Gurley | RB | Georgia | The two-year moratorium on first-round running backs will end when Gurley goes. He's a punishing running who also has a breakaway gear -- a rare combination. |
Landon Collins | S | Alabama | Collins stepped in as starting SS when Vinnie Sunseri was injured mid-season and emerged as a consistent playmaker, finishing second on the Tide in tackles. He's as strong around the ball as he is in supporting the run. |
Dante Fowler Jr. | DE | Florida | Fowler has tremendous upside and could be set for a breakthrough season, the kind that will get him a ton of attention from scouts. He's not yet the pass rusher he has the strength and burst to become. |
La'el Collins | T | LSU | This will be his second season starting at tackle, but Collins might be an even better prospect as a guard, where he started in 2012. |
Ty Montgomery | WR | Stanford | I know Amari Cooper tops most of the WR rankings at this point, but Mongtomery reminds me of a bigger (6-2, 215) Odell Beckham. He's a deep threat who can also turn short passes into big plays, either with his speed or physicality. He's a major factor in the return game, and is a threat to break the game open on any touch. |
Michael Bennett | DT | Ohio State | A terrific penetrator on the interior, Bennett could be the top 3 technique tackle available. |
Amari Cooper | WR | Alabama | This is not to disparage Cooper. He may be the first receiver taken in 2015 -- he's a smooth route-runner and tends to win contested balls. He's just not the home run threat that Montgomery is. |
Tre' Jackson | G | Florida State | May be a more explosive version of Mississippi State's Gabe Jackson, a third-round pick this year. They're roughly the same size (6-4, 330), same build, and Tre' Jackson will also take four years' worth of starting experience into the draft. |
Devonte Fields | DE | TCU | Fields has two things to prove in 2014: that there are no lingering effects of the foot injury that cost himmost of the 2013 season, and that he has more to his pass rush repertoire than just a pure speed rush. |
Eric Striker | OLB | Oklahoma | While I can't hear the name Striker without thinking of "Airplane!", I also can't wai t to see how Striker builds on his Sugar Bowl performance (three sacks, forced fumble, seven tackles -- all career highs). Bob Stoops has called him the best blitzer he's ever had. Scouts will be watching to see if his build (6-0, 220) is something to worry about. |
Rashad Greene | WR | Florida State | Greene was overshadowed by the presence of Kelvin Benjamin last season. But it's Greene who has led the Seminoles in receiving the last three seasons. Greene (6-0, 178) could line up in the slot or at the Z receiver spot in the NFL. |
P.J. Williams | CB | Florida State | Williams has the size (6-0, 196) and athleticism to play corner in any scheme and perhaps see snaps at safety if needed. He shows natural instincts around the ball and will only gain more confidence with any strong season. |
Denzel Perryman | ILB | Miami | Perryman started all 14 games in 2013 as a weakside linebacker for the Canes. The year before, he played primarily Mike backer. He's probably destined to play inside linebacker in the NFL, and would be a tackle-collector in any scheme. |
Hroniss Grasu | C | Oregon | For all the attention paid to the skill positions at Oregon, Grasu is one of the Ducks' most impressive athletic specimens. He's not just a technically sound center and stalwart presence on the interior line, he's mobile and can get out in front of Oregon's playmakers -- and that is saying something. |
Melvin Gordon | RB | Wisconsin | A talented back who is fast and physical, Gordon would be a far more complete prospect if he can find a way to contribute in the passing game (as a receiver or a blocker). |
Trae Waynes | CB | Michigan State | Darqueze Dennard was my No. 1 cornerback in the 2014 Draft; Waynes has a shot to be an even better corner. He's taller than Dennard if considerably leaner, and Wayne may be faster and more agile than Dennard. |
Kevin Hogan | QB | Stanford | His numbers aren't going to make anyone forget Andrew Luck. But he has NFL size, arm strength, toughness, mobility and FBI (Football Intelligence). He's an afterthought in the Pac-12 among Mariota and Brett Hundley, but he'll be on everyone's radar come 2015. |
Benardrick McKinney | OLB | Mississippi State | As explosive a front seven player as there is in the SEC, McKinney was rumored to be coming out for the 2014 Draft. He stayed in Starkville and will continue to develop the pass rush repertoire that will serve him well as a rush backer in the NFL. |
Ramik Wilson | ILB | Georgia | The SEC is loaded with inside linebacker talent, with McKinney, Tennessee's A.J. Johnson and Wilson, who led the league in tackles a year ago. Wilson is high energy, and is quick to read and react to the ball. |
Cody Prewitt | S | Mississippi | At 6-2, 214, Prewitt has the size NFL teams covet in the secondary. And his six interceptions last year prove he has the ball skills to be a hybrid safety at the next level. |
Kasen Williams | WR | Washington | Next year's draft will be deep at receiver, and there are a bunch to consider as potential first-rounders: Jaelen Strong of Arizona State, Nelson Agholor of USC, Dorial Green-Beckham of Whereabouts Unknown. Williams has the size (6-3, 221), hands and motor that NFL coaches will love. Expect a full bounce back from the leg injury that shortened his 2013 season. |

3 Restaurant Stocks That Are on Fire Panera Bread and Buffalo Wild Wings posted better-than-expected quarterly profits this week, and Chipotle Mexican Grill came through with a blowout quarter last week.
Be Careful Picking From the Menu of Restaurant Stocks If you're finding it a bit easier to snag a table at your favorite restaurant lately, don't go crediting your debonair charm or your glowing Yelp review. Eateries really are less crowded these days.
Five Restaurant Stocks Worth Sampling Now Legendary investor Peter Lynch espoused the philosophy "Buy what you know." Well, who doesn't know restaurants? We know where the crowds are, and we know what we like to eat. Here are five chains that managed to grow during the market lull, positioning themselves perfectly for the future.

Police and fire responded to cordon off Meadow Lane where a fallen tree blocked the road and power lines draped the entrance to the road.
Electrical service to the area was knocked out as a result, leaving the intersections of Gooding Avenue and Hope Street without traffic signal. Police are stationed in that area.
Crews from National Grid have been dispatched to restore service. It is unknown at this time how many power customers are affected.

You all got to learn about me in Danielle Fox's post from earlier this week--now it's Debbie Blair's turn in the hot seat! When it comes to Jewelry Stringing's amazing managing editor, there's more than meets the eye...
1. She has a 3-year-old daughter, who she describes as "adorable/feisty."
2. She is a self-proclaimed 80's nerd--she can't get enough of music and movies of the 1980's.
3. She earned a degree in Graphic Design from Colorado State University (that's right, she's a stalwart Ram!), where her favorite class was Paper Making.
4. Her favorite food is "anything Italian!"
5. The last project she made was this fabulous summer anklet!
6. Her pup, Riley, is a cocker spaniel mix.
7. She has lived in Colorado her entire life. She says the only thing that could lure her away from the Rocky Mountains would be living somewhere with a view of the ocean.
8. In her journey to becoming our managing editor, she took a detour to work as a pastry chef. (After a long week, she has been known to bring in some of her sinfully delicious treats to share with all of us!)
9. She would love to own her own herd of alpacas one day.
10. She saves all her pennies so that she can someday buy a red '66 Corvette convertible.
Not to mention she has a teriffic last name!- KirstenM Blair
We have a lot in common! I too love 80's music and movies; Duran Duran and Pretty in Pink especially! My favorite food is Italian, my sister-in-law owns a heard of alpacas (I have made beads from their wool) and my father restored/owns two corvettes (a '69 and a '72) and painted them both red!

New York, 10 March 2011: Some 300 of the leading players in the global fund of hedge funds industry came together last night at the Pierre Hotel in New York for the ninth annual InvestHedge Funds of Hedge Funds Awards for the best risk adjusted performance among the global funds of hedge funds universe.
Berens Capital Management walked away with the prestigious Fund of the Year having won both the Event Driven & Distressed and Global Equity Awards. The nominees for Fund of the Year were unveiled at the Award ceremony in New York on 10 March, 2011.
The Capital Holdings Funds/Edmond de Rothschild Group, collectively nominated eight times, took four awards in all – including Group of the Year, an accolade it last won in 2007.
Twenty-two awards were handed out on the evening to 17 different funds of funds groups with 14 out of the 22 winners based in North America. Twelve of the 22 firms could be considered boutiques as defined by size of firm (less than $5 billion under management) and investment philosophies.
The main challenges in 2010 were to keep performance going in often confusing markets, as well as to rebuild business, but with the correct view and product line for the future. In order not to reward managers for recent good performance if they had not also substantially recouped any previous losses, InvestHedge continued to require all nominees to be within 10% of their high water mark in order to be considered.
The Aberdeen Orbita Capital Return Strategy won Arbitrage Fund of the Year, which it last won in 2009. Fixed Income & Credit went to Lighthouse Credit Opportunities Fund, while Spruce Private Investor's Spruce Real Assets Fund took home the Commodities & Natural Resource Award.
LGT Capital Partners' Crown Managed Futures took home the Managed Futures Award, while Edmond de Rothschild's Prifund Alpha Traders took home the Global Macro prize. New Fund of the Year was the new gold share class of Leveraged Capital Holdings, which was perfectly timed to deliver huge returns.
Berens Global Value Fund took home the Global Equity Award, while last year's New Fund of The Year – the van Biema Asia Value Fund – won the Asian & Emerging Markets Award, both proving that value investing was the place to be in 2010.
The European Strategies award was taken home by LCF Rothschild's European Capital Holdings. In the US, van Biema Value Fund took home the US equity prize, while the Sire Discovery Group made its debut at the event winning the Emerging Managers Award.
The flagship Global Multi-Strategy Award continues to have many high calibre candidates, with awards given this year to reward the best three firms on a one-year basis and the best three firms on a five-year basis. DGAM Unique Strategies won in the one-year GMS <$500m category, while Cube Global Multi-Strategy Fund took home the GMS $500bn-$1bn award and Corbin Pinehurst Partners won the larger GMS >$1bn prize over one year.
Jim Melcher's Balestra Spectrum Partners won in the five-year GMS <$500m category for a second year in a row, while SSARIS Multi-Manager Absolute Return Strategy took home the GMS $500-$1bn award for the second year running. EnTrust Capital Diversified took home the larger GMS >$1bn prize over three years.
As more end investors look at longer term performance, the Long Term Award, judged over 10 years on a risk adjusted basis, was also split into two by asset size. Stenham Quadrant Portfolio won the $500m to $1 billion category for a second year, while Permal Fixed Income Holdings won the 10-yYear Performance Award for funds with more than $1 billion in assets.
The complete list of winners by category:
Arbitrage Aberdeen Orbita Capital Return Strategy Event Driven & Distressed Berens Distressed Opportunities Fixed Income & Credit Lighthouse Credit Opportunities Commodities & Natural Resources Spruce Real Assets Global Macro Edmond de Rothschild Prifund Alpha Traders Managed Futures Crown Managed Futures Global Equity Berens Global Value Fund Asian & Emerging Markets Strategies Van Biema Asia Value Fund European Strategies European Capital Holdings US Strategies Van Biema Value Fund Emerging Managers Sire Discovery Group Global Multi-Strategy $100m-$500m DGAM Unique Strategies Fund Global Multi-Strategy $500m-$1bn Cube Global Multi-Strategy Fund Global Multi-Strategy >$1bn Corbin Pinehurst Partners Global Multi-Strategy <$500m Five Years Balestra Spectrum Partners Global Multi-Strategy $500m-$1bn Five Years SSARIS Multi-Manager Absolute Return Strategy Global Multi-Strategy >$1bn Five Years EnTrust Capital Diversified Fund 10 Year Award >$500m Stenham Quadrant Portfolio 10 Year Award >$1bn Permal Fixed Income Holdings New Fund of the Year Leveraged Capital Holdings – G Group of The Year The Capital Holdings Funds/Edmond de RothschildGroup Fund of the Year Berens Global Value Fund

Released: Jun 01st, 2003
Running Time: 83
Director: Clive McClean
Company: Hustler Video
Kitty (I), Nikki (I), Trinity (I), Becky (I), Boo, Austin (I), Mia (I), Brittney (I), Jordan (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
A sure hit in lesbian and young girl sections.
There cums a time in every young girl's life when she first discovers a love that she will feel for the rest of her life: the love of her own pussy. Then, if we're lucky, she will take that love a step further and discover other girls' pussies. And, on rare occasions, they let us discover them discovering each other.
Since this doesn't happen nearly as often as it should - for most of us, anyway - we have Hustler's steaming Hot Showers series, which features hot young things getting it on with other hot young things.
Sure, viewers might not recognize any of the faces yet (not that there's anything wrong with fresh females!), but they are all top of the line, young girl next door pretties and - just like your own girl next door - they're all just waiting for that first opportunity to lick a little pussy.
The setups here are all pretty similar. Horny chicks in hot tubs, showers, etc. hook up with other horny wet and wild honeys and off they go, caressing, kissing, licking, fingering and dildoing each other.
There are no distractions, very simple setups and none of the New Hardcore spit-in-her-gaping-asshole stuff, though there is a little piss action, but it's avoidable for fans who still don't like to believe that girls do such things. These are just nice looking girls playing with themselves and each other, with none of those pesky men around to mess things up. And there's a nice selection -blondes, brunettes, an Asian chick or two thrown in for a little color - and all have awesome bodies.
Technically, things look awesome. Director (and Hustler Senior Photographer) Clive McClean really knows how girls should be lit as well as what parts of the action to shoot and when. It's just what he does.

text: [Federal Register Volume 77, Number 121 (Friday, June 22, 2012)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 37608-37609] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2012-15221] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Parts 9 and 721 EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0577; FRL-9352-7] RIN 2070-AB27 Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances; Withdrawal of Significant New Use Rules AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs) promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for seven chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). EPA published these SNURs using direct final rulemaking procedures. EPA received a notice of intent to submit adverse comments on the rule. Therefore, the Agency is withdrawing these SNURs, as required under the expedited SNUR rulemaking process. EPA intends to publish in the near future proposed SNURs for these seven chemical substances under separate notice and comment procedures. DATES: This final rule is effective June 26, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical information contact: Kenneth Moss, Chemical Control Division (7405M), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001; telephone number: (202) 564-9232; email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. For general information contact: The TSCA-Hotline, ABVI-Goodwill, 422 South Clinton Ave., Rochester, NY 14620; telephone number: (202) 554-1404; email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Does this action apply to me? A list of potentially affected entities is provided in the Federal Register of April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236) (FRL-9343-4). If you have questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. II. What rule is being withdrawn? In the Federal Register of April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236), EPA issued several direct final SNURs, including SNURs for seven chemical substances that are the subject of this withdrawal. These direct final rules were issued pursuant to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, subpart D. In accordance with Sec. 721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is withdrawing these rules issued for seven chemical substances which were the subject of PMNs P-10-548, P-10-550, P-10-551, P-10-552, P-10-553, P-10-554, and P-10-555 because the Agency received notice of intent to submit adverse comments. EPA intends to publish proposed SNURs for these chemical substances under separate notice and comment procedures. For further information regarding EPA's expedited process for issuing SNURs, interested parties are directed to 40 CFR part 721, subpart D, and the Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 31314). The record for the direct final SNUR for these chemical substances that are being withdrawn was established at EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0577. That record includes information considered by the Agency in developing this rule and the notice of intent to submit adverse comments. III. How do I access the docket? To access the electronic docket, please go to http://www.regulations.gov and follow the on-line instructions to access docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0577. Additional information about the Docket Facility is provided under ADDRESSES in the Federal Register of April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236). If you have questions, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This final rule revokes or eliminates existing regulatory requirements and does not contain any new or amended requirements. As such, the Agency has determined that this withdrawal will not have any adverse impacts, economic or otherwise. The statutory and executive order review requirements applicable to the direct final rule were discussed in the Federal Register of April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236). Those review requirements do not apply to this action because it is a withdrawal and does not contain any new or amended requirements. V. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register.

An Office Created For People Who Would Rather Be Outside
Imagine a kayak commute, or taking a break to try out the office climbing wall. At one Bay Area office of the company that includes The North Face, employees are kept happy by being kept active and outdoorsy.
What's your dream office? Is it the one that doesn't exist at all, or maybe the one that encourages you to work from home? If you fantasize about bouldering on your lunch break—and appreciate being in a zero-waste, net zero-energy environment—you might want to take a look at the soon-to-be-completed space in the slideshow above: the new Alameda, Calif. headquarters of VF Corporation's outdoor and action sports coalition brands, which include The North Face, Lucy, and Jansport.
These three brands currently house employees in a renovated warehouse elsewhere in the Bay Area; it's a decent location, but one that doesn't exactly encourage collaboration. It's also inefficient, largely because of space under the two-story-high ceilings isn't easy to heat and cool without expending huge amounts of energy. Now that VF's outdoor brands are on good financial footing (especially The North Face), the corporation is working on a headquarters—set to be completed this summer—that was built with employee wish lists in mind. It shows.
Below, some of the amenities available at the new 160,000-square-foot complex (many of them suggested by an employee task force).
- A large onsite garden that will grow things like kale, tomatoes, and basil. VF expects to grow so much that employees won't even be able to consume all of it. Leftover will be donated to a local food bank. Employees will be encouraged to help out with the garden, but local volunteers will also pitch in. A side note: Originally, VF toyed with the idea of installing a volleyball court, but employees elected to grow a garden instead.
- Lots of natural light. 90% of employees will have access to direct sunlight, and in many areas of the complex, the overhead lights can often be kept off. Bonus: All the windows in the complex open (this should be a given, but it isn't always).
- Opportunities for onsite fitness, including an indoor fitness area and yoga room, an outside training area for bootcamp, an outside bouldering space, and an outdoor gear rental and repair shop.
- A cafe serving the vegetables grown in the garden, among other things.
- Eventually, if employees are really lucky, the ability to kayak out into the water just outside the complex (VF would need to make sure this is feasible and legal first, but employees have been asking for it).
- A convenient location for almost everyone. When VF first started thinking about the new complex, it "took employee addresses and mapped out where they were" to figure out an ideal spot, according to Steve Rendle, group president of VF's Outdoor & Action Sports Americas.
- The office space is inside out: executive offices are in the middle of the room, and other employees sit by the windows.
None of these perks were taken lightly; VF isn't the kind of company to throw money around. "There was a lot of financial rigor involved," says Rendle. But VF's outdoor business has grown in size dramatically over the past decade. That's reason enough for employees to get an upgrade.
There's at least one big money-saving tactic built into the headquarters: It was created with energy and waste efficiency. "It's the right thing to do, but it also has to make business sense. It will save money," says Adam Mott, director of corporate sustainability at The North Face. To that end, VF is in the process of installing a series of solar systems (on the building roofs, on top of the carport, and on the building awnings) that will provide 100% of all energy needs. There is also a towering wind turbine that greets entrants to the site—but it's mostly for show ("It's a symbol of our commitment to sustainability," explains Mott).
Onsite EV charging stations and dedicated parking spaces look nice, but are mostly aspirational; Rendle admits that he's not sure how many employees currently have an EV. Assuming the headquarters sticks around for awhile, those spots will eventually fill up.
The complex, built to achieve LEED Gold certification, will eventually have a recycling center that goes far beyond your average office. In addition to the soda cans and office paper that are normally recycled, VF will have the ability to take e-waste, lightbulbs, batteries, plastic bags, and even clothing (for recycling or donation). The ultimate goal: a zero-waste facility.
VF is far from the only corporation to have an environmentally and outdoors-friendly campus. New Belgium Brewing Company, for example, buys clean energy, powers itself partially with methane from an on-site water treatment plant—and it offers perks like free bicycles and volleyball.
But the idea of a company keeping employees active, innovating, and considering the environment shouldn't be a novel one. We hope, in other words, that this becomes a trend well outside the outdoor apparel industry.

Nice to have a bike shop on site, and a location a short walk from bus service. But...yeah. I'm one of those "yeah, but..." guys) the exterior shows the same-old, car-centered style of exterior design. To get people out of their cars for the commute, an effective tool is leveling e playing field for those of us who bike to work. For example, moving e parking further from the doors by only 125 feet. J
the campus looks so high tech - until the windows computers come into the picture. why are they such eye sores?
Lucky folks! Of course, this all works best in a temperate climate like the Bay Area. In many areas of the country, so many windows would be a real energy bite, and opening them only admits hot and muggy air or freezing cold. I love the idea that the employees would rather use space and energy on gardening rather than sports. Gardening has huge paybacks in mental health, let alone the fresh food. And how wonderful to invite in the community to help! Now, if they could only provide reasonably priced housing nearby, to save on commuting, the real culprit in unsustainable living.
I would love to work in an office like this.
But can you open the window next to your desk?
nice office concept and a nice post too Ariel. However, I wonder if such a business work area can be implemented for every sector.

GOP Governors Debate Health Exchanges
By editor
Originally published on Thu May 10, 2012 5:08 am
States are moving to set up health insurance exchanges — a pillar of Obama's health care law. But many GOP governors find themselves in an awkward position. David Wessel, economics editor of The Wall Street Journal, talks to Steve Inskeep about why the governors' positions on exchanges are complicated.

I will be 40 in March and just got an update for Milwaukee FD that there looking to start an academy in fall. Ive been on the list for 3-4 years and have pretty much given up on getting a call. Now Im out of shape and dont know what to do. I still need to take the CPAT so I started working out again. I dont even know if I will be in the next class there just collecting the data on who still want in and if you need any further testing. I would love to be a fire fighter but how will my age factor in with the younger guys.
I have not taken any of the FF classes as Im married with 2 kids and money is tight. The last time I called about the list I was 130 ish so we put the time and money to other things. Now with the letter my wife and I are excited. I know I may still be low on the list but theres light in the tunnel.

As per Speedtest.net I am averaging around 7Mbps down and 1Mbps up. I can't say it is my location as I have taken tests in different parts of town. Further, I have an HTC One that is averaging around 20Mbps down and 15Mbps up. I have flashed CM10.1 nightly, but have gone back to stock via ODIN. Any thoughts?
Instead of using ODIN to keep going from stock to a custom ROM on my S3, just download Goomanager, open goomanager click the menu button on the S4, the click on install recovery script, it will install TWRP, once TWRP is installed open goo manager and click on Reboot Recovery, once in TWRP recovery, you will get these options "Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Settings, Advanced, Reboot" , click on Backup, once in backup you will see boot, system, data boxes are checked, now bellow you will see Set backup name Refresh size and Storage: click on storage and chose external micro sd card "that is where you will backup your ROM "be it stock or from a developer". Once you name your ROM, I name my stock rom "Stock ROM VRBMF1" it is the Verizon OTA stock ROM on the S3, then just select GO, it will bring you to the previous page, slide the slider across and the recovery image will start, do the same with the CM ROM, now you can just go back and forth between stock and custom ROM, you can load as many ROMS as you please, just back them up the same way, and you can just keep going from one ROM to the next with ease. Also install Root Checker and EZ-Unlock from the market.
In a not-so-great signal area, 80ms latency, 13 down, 8 up. But the area, is around my house so I'm on my network mostly. Around town, I get between 22 - 32 mbits down and 6 - 8 up.
Holy crap... This thread made me curious and I got 22 down 16 up (is it weird that gets me a little excited? Lol) Anyway, maybe you have a defective phone
Nothing wrong with the phone or the method of flashing. Turns out something wrong with my SIM. I swapped in the SIM from my HTC One and boom...20Mbps+

It is important for all users of Humboldt State University's computing lab resources to recognize that we are all responsible for the well-being and continued availability of the computing, network, and information resources we use. While it is natural for universities to promote the open exchange of ideas, an open computing network can be vulnerable to abuse or misuse. As more and more individuals, schools, colleges, universities, businesses, government agencies, and other enterprises integrate more and more of their lives with the global computing and information networks that comprise the world wide web, it is more important than ever that University users are aware of the ethical behavior, acceptable computing practices, and copyright and licensing issues required for the safe usage of these networks. Students, faculty, and staff also need to understand how computer abuse can negatively impact the free and open exchange of ideas that is integral to a rounded education.
For these reasons, we strongly encourage anyone intending to make use of HSU lab facilities to familiarize themselves with the following documents:

SX Black Acoustic Guitar inc stand, tuner, bag
Cambridge £50.00- Posted
- 1042 days ago
Now selling for £70!
I am selling my Acoustic guitar. It is a black guitar with ivory coloured frets and silver tuning knobs. The strings are steel - gives it a lovely bright sound. This guitar has had light use over the last 2 years and has a couple of chips to the surface lacquer. Generally a very good looking, great sounding guitar that is perfect for beginners and buskers alike. SX are a low-end manufacturer of guitars but I can tell you, it plays really well.
Any questions, please ask. The guitar is collection only.
With the guitar I am selling the stand, a carry bag (SX branded) and a tuner. No plectrums I am afraid, but these can be picked up really cheaply at the local music shop.

Released: Aug 01st, 1999
Running Time: 85
Director: Michael Zen
Company: Cal Vista Film
Distribution Companies: Metro Distribution
Nikki Sinn, Inari Vachs, Tony Tedeschi, Wendi Knight, Sana Fey, Claudia Chase, Mark Davis, Katie Gold, Misty Rain, Mia Smiles
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
At least three hot scenes, plus flattering cinematography from Jack Remy. Oh yeah... the spanking of Rain\'s glorious ass, which could save even the mangiest dog of a movie.
This meditation on the "Should I or shouldn't I try pussy?" theme wears a little weaker the third time out. Misty Rain, as Davis' bisexually curious girlfriend, earnestly attempts to play a girl-next-door, but her trendy nipple rings and familiarity with the Sapphic act all but give it away. Good performer, perhaps wrong choice for the lead.
Regardless, it's not the lesbian gropes which make this package palatable. Far from explosive, but certainly watchable are a few threeways and hetero couplings. Most notable are Tedeschi getting it on with two of the supporting girls, or the Davis/Rain opener, both of which exude substantially more authentic passion and vigor than the requisite lesbian sequences.
The script, full of obvious metaphors (i.e. breaking glass = severed relationships) often takes the easy road to setting up the sex. Case in point: a highly implausible pair of back-to-back trysts set in a bathroom. First, Tedeschi and Davis spy on two rug-munchers in the middle stall by peeking over the sides like a pair of Peeping Tom bookends, whose overhead presence would be glaringly obvious in real life. Immediately thereafter, bartender Inari Vachs occupies the middle stall and sucks Davis off through a hole in the wall... yes, a cock-hole in a dyke bar. And then the guys jump out and d.p. her! Just what every confirmed lesbian dreams of... only in porno land, that is.

Researchers Analyze Beer From 1840s
ESPOO, FINLAND—Bottles of beer recovered from a nineteenth-century shipwreck in the Baltic Sea have been sampled by researchers from the VTT Technical Research Centre in Finland and the University of Munich. "These bacteria were still alive," said Brian Gibson of the VTT Technical Research Centre. "We have a reasonably good idea about what kind of hops were used, different ones than today. These hops would have been harsher, these days they are quite mild. The one surprising thing is the beers were quite mild. The original alcohol level was 4.5 percent, nothing extreme," he told Discovery News. Seawater had seeped through the bottle's cork, however, replacing about thirty percent of the bottle's original contents. Chemical analysis suggests that the beer, which was brewed in the 1840s, was similar to a modern amber or lambic ale. "We looked at esters, which give beer a fruity or flowery taste. Most of the compounds that we would expect were there," Gibson said. To read about vodka preserved in a bottle from another Baltic shipwreck, see "A 200-Year-Old Bottle's Suprising Contents."
25th Dynasty Artifacts Found at the Karnak Temple Complex
PARIS, FRANCE—A pit, or favissa, near the temple of the god Ptah at Karnak has yielded 38 religious artifacts that had been placed around a seated statue of the god Ptah. The items date from the eighth to seventh centuries B.C. and include 14 statues and figurines of Osiris; three statuettes of baboons; two statuettes of the goddess Mut; one head and fragments of a statue of Bastet, the cat goddess; two unidentified statuette bases; a small plaque and part of a small stele marked with the name of the god Ptah; and several inlays—an iris, cornea, beards, and headdresses. A sphinx statue and a small statue head, possibly of the god Imhotep, were found in the upper part of the pit. The removal of the objects from the pit was recorded by a topographer specialized in archaeology, who complied hundreds of photographs taken during the fieldwork to make a virtual 3-D reconstruction of each step of the excavation. This allowed the scientists from the Centre franco-égyptien d'étude des temples de Karnak (CNRS/Egyptian Ministry of State for Antiquities) to excavate the site quickly, in order to protect the valuable artifacts, and preserve all the data.

Oregon's "Tantalizing" Evidence of Human Occupation
PORTLAND, OREGON—Near the Rimrock Draw Rockshelter, beneath a layer of ash from an eruption of Mt. St. Helens some 15,800 years ago, archaeologists have found a tool made of orange agate thought to have been used for scraping animal hides, butchering, and possibly even carving wood. "The discovery of this tool below a layer of undisturbed ash that dates to 15,800 years old means that this tool is likely more than 15,800 years old, which would suggest the oldest human occupation west of the Rockies," said Scott Thomas, Bureau of Land Management Burns District archaeologist. A blood residue analysis of the tool revealed animal proteins consistent with the ancestor of the modern buffalo. The director of the excavation, Patrick O'Grady of the University of Oregon, adds that the excavation will be expanded to look for more artifacts underneath the ash layer. "We want to assemble indisputable evidence because these claims will be scrutinized by researchers. That said, the early discoveries are tantalizing," commented Stan McDonald, BLM Oregon/Washington lead archaeologist.

"Significant Variation" Found in Skulls From Pre-Contact Peru
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA—It had long been thought that there was very little skeletal variation among the pre-Columbian peoples in the New World, based upon a sample of individuals from the Yauyos people of the central Peruvian highlands. But anthropologists from North Carolina State University, the University of Oregon, and Tulane University evaluated the facial features of 507 skulls from seven pre-Columbian peoples from Peru, and found significant differences between all of them. "And our work shows that the Yauyos had facial features that were very different even from other peoples in the same region. This raises questions about any hypothesis that rests in part on the use of the Yauyos sample as being representative of all South America," Ann Ross of North Carolina State University told EurekaAlert. The scientists found that the farther apart the groups lived from each other, the less they looked alike. "Next we want to compare variation across Latin America, to see if we can identify patterns that suggest biological relationships, which could be indicative of migration patterns," Ross said. To read about more skeletons found in the region, see "Unusual Sacrifices Unearthed in Peru."
Neolithic Town Unearthed at Greece's Alepotrypa Cave
CHIGAGO, ILLINOIS—The Diros Project has uncovered the remains of Ksagounaki, an ancient town and burial complex, located outside the entrance to Alepotrypa Cave in southern Greece. The large underground cave may have been seen as the entrance to the mythic Greek underworld, and the ancient town is thought to have been an important ritual and settlement complex during the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age. (The recently discovered grave of a man and woman who had been buried together in an embracing position some 6,000 years ago was found at Diros.) However, William Parkinson of The Field Museum said that some 2,000 years after the settlement at Ksagounaki was abandoned, the Mycenaeans built a structure there and filled it with the bones of dozens of individuals, Late Bronze Age pottery, stone beads, ivory, and a bronze Mycenaean dagger. Perhaps the Neolithic buildings had drawn the attention of the Mycenaeans to this natural wonder. For more about Alepotrypa Cave, see "Portals to the Underworld."
Celtic Tomb Sheds Light on Iron Age Trade
LAVAU, FRANCE—A tomb dating to the fifth century B.C. has been discovered in eastern France. "It is probably a local Celtic prince," Dominique Garcia, president of France's National Archaeological Research Institute (INRAP), told The Connexion. Within the burial mound, his team has found a large cauldron decorated with the head of the horned Greek river god Acheleos that may have been made by Etruscan or Greek craftsmen. A Greek wine pitcher trimmed with gold depicts Dionysos, the god of wine, with a woman. Garcia says that the artifacts "are evidence of the exchanges that happened between the Mediterranean and the Celts." At the time, the Mediterranean city of Marseille, in southern France, was a Greek settlement. The burial chamber, which also holds the remains of the deceased and his chariot, is one of the largest recorded for the period. To read about Iron Age Celtic rituals, see "Celtic Sacrifice."
Dates Obtained for Earliest-Known Homo Fossil
STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA—The earliest-known fossil of a human ancestor, discovered in the Afar region of Ethiopia, has been dated to between 2.8 and 2.75 million years ago by an international team of scientists. Known as LD 350-1, the team dated the layers of volcanic ash above and below the Ledi-Geraru fossil mandible. "We are confident in the age of LD350-1. We used multiple dating methods including radiometric analysis of volcanic ash layers, and all show that the hominin fossil is 2.8 to 2.75 million years old," Erin N. DiMaggio of Penn State University said in a press release posted on EurekaAlert. Other fossils in the area include prehistoric antelope, elephants, a type of hippopotamus, crocodiles, and fish. These types of animals suggest that the habitat at the time was made up of mixed grasslands and shrub lands with trees lining rivers or wetlands. "We can see the 2.8 million-year-old aridity signal in the Ledi-Geraru faunal community. But it's still too soon to say that this means climate change is responsible for the origin of Homo. We need a larger sample of hominin fossils and that's why we continue to come to the Ledi-Geraru area to search," added Kaye E. Reed of Arizona State University. To read more about human origins, see "Our Tangled Ancestry."
13th-Century Fortress May Have Belonged to Genghis Khan
MORIGUCHI, JAPAN—Japanese and Mongolian archaeologists have investigated a structure they say was commissioned for Genghis Khan by a close aide in 1212. The site, located in southwestern Mongolia, was first photographed from the air and surveyed in 2001 because its geographical features were similar to the landscape depicted in a medieval travel book. Surrounded by an earthen wall, the castle may have served as a military base when Genghis Khan was invading central Asia. Thirteenth-century Chinese ceramics were also recovered at the site. "We hope the discovery will be useful in ascertaining the history of the Mongolian Plateau between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries," team leader Koichi Matsuda of Osaka International University told The Asahi Shimbun. To read about the search for great khan's tomb, see "Genghis Khan: Founder of the Mongol Empire."
Was Rome Really a "City of Marble?"
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA—Architectural historian Diane Favro of the University of California, Los Angeles, has employed advanced modeling software to reconstruct the city of Rome in its entirety over the period of the rule of Augustus Caesar, from 44 B.C. to A.D. 14. According to legend, Augustus boasted, "I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble." Favro's model uses a technique called procedural modeling that automatically regenerates as new information is added. The buildings are represented by massing models that are color-coded: marble buildings are pink, brick buildings are gray, and buildings under construction are yellow. She found that only a small proportion of the buildings in Augustan Rome were converted from brick to marble, and that they would have been difficult to see from ground level. "Given the literary descriptions and artwork, I thought these glittering marble temples on high would be very visible, but they were not," she explained. She thinks that the movement of Carrara marble blocks from the northwest coast of Italy through the city probably caused congestion on the streets and created the illusion of a city of marble. "Because they saw construction taking place constantly, I believe people really did think that Rome had been transformed into marble. But in reality, the city did not greatly transform." To read about how the construction of Rome's port fueled the empire's rise, see "Rome's Imperial Port."

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - A majority of county commissioners are hesitant to pursue grant money to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes, they indicated Tuesday night.
After hearing a report from Senior Planner Scott Sirotkin on the Neighborhood Stabilization Program resulting from the economic bailout plan passed by Congress, three commissioners indicated the program might not be ideal for Newton County and said they weren't sure it was local government's place to get into the housing business. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and, on the state level, by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. About half of the $155 million available to Georgia has already been allocated by HUD to specific jurisdictions, leaving $77 million for local governments to compete over. The grant money can be used "to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes," according to HUD. In Georgia, DCA will determine eligibility for funding based on demonstration of need and capability to implement the program. Areas with the highest percentage of foreclosures and subprime loans and areas identified by DCA as likely to have a significant rise in the rate of foreclosures will get priority. From 2001 to 2005, the most recent data available, Newton County had a higher percentage of conventional mortgage loans made by subprime lenders as compared with the state as a whole, according to Sirotkin. However, the county may fall short on the implementation component of the criteria, he said. DCA has emphasized that "This is not a program for beginners," Sirotkin said. "Honestly, when it comes to these types of activities, Newton County and the city are somewhat beginners," he said. The program will focus on Real Estate Owned properties, or those that have been through the foreclosure process but were not purchased during the courthouse sale and have been taken back by banks or other lenders. Blighted properties next to REO properties may also be eligible for funding. Properties must be purchased at a 15 percent discount, meaning the sale price must be 15 percent less than the appraised value. The money cannot be used for property maintenance, but it can go toward rehabilitation prior to the sale or a down payment to assist buyers. Potential purchasers must be low-moderate-medium income families earning less than 120 percent of the area median income, which in Newton County was $69,200 for 2008, Sirotkin said. At least 25 percent of funds must assist very low income families earning less than 50 percent of the area median income. For 2008, low-moderate-medium families earning under $83,040 and very low income families earning $55,360 or less would be eligible. Based on a formula used by DCA to calculate allocations, Newton County could be awarded $2.1 million. According to Sirotkin, that would be enough to purchase about 15 properties. District 3 Commissioner Ester Fleming said he would support the program if it meant redeveloping a large blighted area, but its impact is too limited. "I can't see government getting into the housing business and this is simply what we are doing if we buy up houses due to hardships of individuals that own the houses," he said. "Let the market and free enterprise take care of that." District 1 Commissioner Mort Ewing agreed. "At this point, I fail to see where county government can do a better job than free enterprise," he said. District 5 Commissioner Monty Laster agreed that the program's scope would be too small locally, but said he is open to continuing the discussion. District 4 Commissioner J.C. Henderson, however, said he fully supports the county's involvement and suggested county funds be used to buy up as many as 30 more properties. "I believe if we could help some people who really need help ... I think it would be appreciated, and it would help some of these foreclosed homes that are really just eyesores," he said. The city of Covington and the county have already agreed to file a joint application for the grant. But commissioners noted they were acting due to a looming deadline, and said they would base future participation on Sirotkin's report. Commissioners took no formal action Tuesday night, but agreed to confer with city officials and take the matter up again at their Dec. 2 meeting.

Sarah Burke inspires teammate's gold medal run at X Games
Montrealer Kaya Turski said she was influenced to go for it on her final run at the X Games by her teammate and friend Sarah Burke's legacy
With gold on the line, Montrealer Kaya Turski thought of teammate Sarah Burke as she pondered how far to push things in her final slopestyle run at the X Games.
"It's been a tough time," Turski would say later in a conference call from Aspen. "This whole thing has been extremely tough for me. Sarah was — and always will be — a huge inspiration for me."
Because of that, because of Burke's pioneering legacy in helping get freestyle half pipe and slopestyle skiing into the Olympics, Turski decided to pull out a move that had never before been landed in competition before, one that in X Games parlance is known as the "Money Booter."
Turski nailed the "switch 1080" — three full rotations after coming into the jump backwards and also landing it backwards — to capture her third-straight slopestyle gold medal at the X Games.
"Part of the reason why I decided to go for the 'switch 10' today was for her," said Turski. "She's always been pushing the sport for as long as she's been around. And I'm excited to follow in her footsteps and push as much as I can and make her proud. I know she's skiing with me. I know she's watching all of us."
Canadian freestyle team spokesperson Kelley Korbin said every female athlete at the event had a sticker or an armband that said 'I believe in Sarah.'
"She was right there with all these girls today," said Korbin.
Burke, an Olympic gold medal hopeful, died last week in a Salt Lake City hospital from injuries sustained the week before while training on a superpipe for an upcoming Dew Tour competition.
The acceptance of the sport into the Olympics for the 2014 Sochi Games — something in which Burke played a major role — is pushing the level higher than ever before as the skiers move from being independents to getting national team support.
"This is a major event for all of us," said Turski. "Other than the Olympics, it's the most important event that we have. It's great. I feel great to be pushing the limits of women's skiing and to be at the forefront of the sport. I'm excited for the upcoming years, training for the Olympics with the Canadian team. I think it's going to be an awesome time."
Turski believes landing the first "switch 1080" will also raise the bar.
Asked why they call it the "Money Booter," she replied: "That's what X Games calls it. I guess when it comes down to it, this is your last jump, you're going in for the money run, the money booter."
Turski's is a pretty remarkable story as she was an in-line skater for eight years before switching over to skiing.
"I definitely think that gave me a great base to compete in skiing. I threw on skis and it just kind of felt natural, I fell in love with it right way."
Turski expressed her affection for Burke last week on her Facebook account.
"Sarah, I love you I love you I love you. Thank you for everything you've ever done for me. for all of us. You made everything possible. You lit up the world with your smile and drove it with your unwavering perseverance. You'll always be shining. Sweet dreams Fina, see you in another life ?"

The claim: The next time you're stuck for a solution to a problem, get out of your chair. Taking a short walk boosts creative thinking better than sitting, according to a study published in the American Psychological Association's Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition.
The research: While prior research shows a link between regular aerobic exercise and cognitive abilities, asking someone to take a 30-minute run to improve their creativity simply isn't always practical. So researchers at Stanford University's Graduate School of Education conducted a study involving 176 people and tested whether taking a short walk would be enough to boost creativity. They found that those who walked instead of sitting or being pushed in a wheelchair gave more creative responses to tests involving creative thinking (such as finding alternative uses for common objects). Of the students who tested creativity while walking, 100% came up with more ideas in one experiment (four studies took place), while 95%, 88%, and 81% of the walker groups in the other groups gave more creative responses when compared to responses they gave while sitting.
What it means: Taking advantage of the positive effect of exercise on creative brain power does not have to involve a long, sweaty workout session. A short walk of only five to 16 minutes was enough to show improved creativity, according to this study. "The creativity boost showed up even on a treadmill in a small bare room, and it remained when participants were seated after their walk was over," says Marily Oppezzo, PhD, of Santa Clara University, lead researcher.
The bottom line: "For problems that require generation of new ideas, a different perspective, or analogical thinking, walking while brainstorming is a great prescription," says Oppezzo.

This doctor is so well versed in the human body... I have been to him for knee, shoulder, lower back, upper back, and neck issues. He always fits me into the schedule and fixes me every single time. Having referred my relatives over the past couple years, they have the same exact comments about him. He just knows how to fix things the right way while maintaining an excellent bedside manner. I couldn't recommend anyone any higher

Never in my 61 years have I had a doctor who seemed to truly care about my problem and explain to me in real life terms what was wrong with me.I've been dealing with a numbness in my arm and hand for over 7 months.I've been x-rayed,poked with electode needles,poked for taking blood,CT scan for my brain, MRI for my neck and on and on.6 different doctors including my GP,a referral to an orthopedic surgeon,a referral to a neurologist,a neurosurgeon, a second orthopedic surgeon and a pain management doctor.After a while I thought I was going crazy because nobody could come up with an answer. Enter Dr. Nadelberg who was referred by my priest who sees him for sciatica. He reviewed the x-rays and MRI and found a small herniated disc that was compressing a nerve in my neck.He began a series of treatments using cold laser therapy and spinal manipulation (which I was afraid of but it turned out to be painless).I'm now pain free after 6 weeks and feel like I owe Dr.N my first born!

Got Dr. Nadelberg's name off of Ratemds.com because he was rated "top 10". Called on a Wednesday and was able to get a late same day appointment (he squeezed me in at the end of the day and stayed a half hour late to do so). He reviewed my MRI from my orthopedist and showed me the problem. Assured me that mine was a case he could help.Now, 3 weeks later, I'm 85-90% pain free for the first time in 2 1/2 years.So happy with him after getting jerked around by orthopedist, neurologist and physical therapist. Nobody saw the problem but Dr. Nadelberg who diagnosed and treated it with complete competence. He knows his stuff, explains it all, answers all questions and encourages you to call if you have any questions or problems between visits. I have no insurance and he was able to offer a very reasonable fee.You can tell that all his patients are crazy about him just by talking to them in the waiting room (BTW, never waited more than 10 minutes).A great eyeopening experience overall.

Just got done with Dr. Nadelberg and sat down in the waiting room to write this review (using his free WIFI!!). Destroyed my back moving furniture on 4th of July. Ruined my weekend.Thought the pain would go away. It didn't.Only got worse. My neighbor saw me hobbling around and asked me what I was doing for it. I told him I was taking Advil and he said that's not good enough. He told me to see his chiropractor (Dr. Nadelberg). I told him I would wait until the end of the holiday weekend and see how I felt. Well, the pain just got worse and worse. Awoke today still in bad pain. Called Dr. Nadelberg and he took me two hours after I called. He was busy, but he took me right at my scheduled time. I was finished in about 45 minutes (including exam AND treatment). As I sit here now, I can say that it was the best doctoring experience in my life! I feel like a new man. He was kind, gentle, and caring. He used some kind of laser that worked like a miracle with his manipulation.A+++

completly happy with this Doc. I saw this site with his name and i had to put a review on him. hes so great, ive been going with him for the past two months now for my siatica and herrnated disk. iven been feeling so much better. and the best part of it is he his treating naturally. he doesnt stock me up with drugs or pain killers. he tries to stay from that. Im personally against medication so im happy that hes like that with me, i mean if a person needs it i think hell recommad it. but he def tries to heal the pain first natrually. overall hes a great doc and youll be in and out within 20-30 mins. hes the only doc and staff there so hes always seeing patient after patient. but if u leave him a msg he'll def get back to within the end of his day. i recomand him to anyone who has terrible back pain..

Doctor Nadelberg is incredibly effective, very accommodating, and a just a great human being to be around. Having just moved to West Orange recently, I feel fortunate to have a doctor of his experience, talent, and demeanor. He is very patient and is interested in the well being and outcome of his patients. He never rushes and has a great sense of humor. When I leave his office, I ALWAYS feel tremendously better. Having been to several chiropractors in my life, this one is the one who sets the bar.

During the 2011 harvest, farmers around Emmetsburg were focused on more than the corn harvest.
They also baled approximately 61,000 bone-dry tons of corn crop residue, including corn cobs, leaves and husks, which will be delivered to a biomass storage site in Emmetsburg, where POET's Project LIBERTY commercial cellulosic ethanol biorefinery is taking shape.
"Iowa is a great incubator for rolling out cellulosic biofuels, and this region is the epicenter of the next big agricultural movement," said Adam Wirt, regional biomass coordinator for POET Biomass LLC, who provided an update on the project during the 2011 Farm News Ag Show in Fort Dodge on Nov. 30.
Article Video
The $200 million Project LIBERTY is POET's 25 million-gallon-per-year cellulosic ethanol plant, which is located with an existing grain-based ethanol plant.
Early site work, including grading and construction of a weigh station, is under way for the cellulosic ethanol plant, which is scheduled to come online in mid-2013, according to POET, which has received a $105 million U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee.
POET is working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service to ensure sustainable residue removal practices that protect the health of the soil and control soil erosion.

POET's Adam Wirt told his audience at the Farm News Ag Show Wednesday morning that removing 25 percent of residue cover is environmentally sustainable, according to an Iowa State University multi-year study.
Wirt said a multi-year research from Iowa State University shows that the removal of up to 25 percent of the above-ground corn residue is environmentally sustainable.
He noted that POET asks farmers involved in Project LIBERTY not to exceed this level when baling. By working with producers, POET has also developed standard operating procedures for sustainable biomass collection and best practices for bale handling and storage.
The low density of biomass poses one of the biggest challenges when transporting and storing the product.
"We want to be a teacher who shares information with farmers, because we want them to play a key role in this project," said Wirt, who answered a non-stop stream of questions from audience members.
"We're all learning together," he said
Beyond the kernel
There's a steep learning curve involved in transitioning from a pilot project to a commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant.
POET has conducted research on the project for nearly a decade, although the pilot project at Emmetsburg didn't begin to take shape until 2006.
While only five or six producers participated in the project several years ago, the 2011 biomass harvest number represents 10 new contracts, for a total of 100 farmers, Wirt said.
Producers who were involved in the project before maintained or increased their acres in 2011, he said.
Corn growers are helping POET move toward 125,000 tons of biomass by next year, Wirt said, followed by 250,000 tons in 2013 and a target of 300,000 tons of biomass per year by 2014.
"To get that much biomass, we'll need about one third of the corn acres within a 35-mile radius of Emmetsburg, which equals about 300,000 acres," said Wirt, who noted that this will involve about 400 to 500 producers.
Growers who participate in Project LIBERTY are responsible for collecting, harvesting and transporting the biomass to the Emmetsburg plant. The bales will be delivered to POET's 22-acre stackyard.
"While there are some storage losses with biomass, they are not as great as you'd think," he said.
Mold is not a big issue with biomass that's converted in biofuel, Wirt said.
During the conversion process, the sugars in the biomass are stripped out and processed into ethanol, while the remaining lignin is made into biogas, which provides an excellent heat source that can power both the grain ethanol plant and the cellulosic ethanol plant.
Biosolids that remain after the ethanol and biogas are produced can be returned to the field as a soil amendment that provides nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients for next year's crop.
Leading the way with biofuels
POET's cellulosic ethanol plant at Emmetsburg will serve as a model that can be replicated for new biorefineries in other areas. In addition, POET is looking for additional markets for the biofuel that will be produced in these biorefineries, Wirt said.
"We're looking into whether biofuel can be substituted for some of the coal in coal-fired power plants, although we know that the biofuel will have to be as affordable and as consistent an energy producer as coal."
The potential is great, added Wirt, who noted that Iowa corn farmers have led the way on renewable biofuels and are once again in a place to help make this reality.
"Biomass collection will continue to grow, because it's a sustainable activity that offers a lot of opportunities. Northwest Iowa is a prime spot for this, and there's a lot of upside to Project LIBERTY," he said.

Interface Profiles near Three-Phase Contact Lines in Electric Fields
Buehrle, Juergen and Herminghaus, Stephan and Mugele, Frieder (2003) Interface Profiles near Three-Phase Contact Lines in Electric Fields. Physical Review Letters, 91 (8). p. 86101. ISSN 0031-9007

Abstract: | Long-range electrostatic fields deform the surface profile of a conductive liquid in the vicinity of the contact line. We have investigated the equilibrium profiles by balancing electrostatic and capillary forces locally at the liquid vapor interface. Numerical results show that the contact angle at the contact line approaches Young's angle. Simultaneously, the local curvature displays a weak algebraic divergence. Furthermore, we present an asymptotic analytical model, which confirms these results and elucidates the scaling behavior of the profile close to the contact line. |
