Lucas Giolito was in the mix to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft until an elbow injury ended his high school season.
He fell to the Nationals with the 16th overall pick and signed just before the deadline for $2.925 million. And now after just one minor-league start his elbow is injured again.
Keith Law of ESPN.com reports that Giolito was pulled from his debut after two innings because he showed decreased velocity and the right-hander will be examined later this week by Dr. Lewis Yocum.
Elbow surgery wouldn't be a death sentence for an 18-year-old pitcher, obviously, and the Nationals would probably still have taken Giolito at No. 16 if they knew he'd need to go under the knife. Even after 12 months on the sidelines and the uncertain nature of the recovery in general his upside would still be much higher than a typical mid-first rounder. And clearly they knew it was a strong possibility.

hope he's ok, gotta feel bad for the kid.
- notsofast10 - Aug 20, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Parlaying an injured elbow into $3 million….. he will be fine…. don't feel too bad for him…. TJ is pretty standard stuff!
- natslady - Aug 20, 2012 at 3:38 PM
Yes. Not unexpected. If he has TJ now he would be out for 2013 and could, er, follow the Jordan Zimmermann plan for his rehab/recovery–probably modified for his youth. If he comes to the majors at 20 or 21 with the Ace potential he has, it would be worth the wait.
Yes, I feel bad for the kid, but I doubt it would have been any different if he'd stayed in school and played college ball.
- drunkenhooliganism - Aug 20, 2012 at 4:24 PM
They better not rest him down the stretch in 2014 if they're in a playoff race
- dcfan4life - Aug 21, 2012 at 2:52 PM
Guys, its not like this kid was ever expected to join the majors in the next few years. Straight out of high school, elbow questions to begin with. Minimum 3 years before we saw him. Not to mention how deep the Nats farm system is who could he jump ahead of so quickly. The Nats of course knew all this, which is why they took him to begin with. I am not worried. Kids getting paid to get healthy and be part of the Nats of 2015 probably at the soonest.

AC/DC: The Jack Meaning
No tags, suggest one.
The Jack Lyrics
She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
anonymous Sep 1st, 2014 9:32am report
I actually have the book in front of me from the disc set Bonfire here is the quote "The story is,we all had a house in Melbourne. And we had about twenty chicks who would come around and service the band, the whole thing. So the whole band got the jack. And so Malcolm said one day: 'Why don't we do a song about it?' So we wrote it that afternoon and played it that night and during the quiet part in the middle I went around and pointed out all the girls, you know... 'She's got the jack' and 'She's got the jack' and so on. And all these chicks are makin' a mad dash for the door. It was quite funny actually."

First off Brian Johnson is not a great singer. He is probably the worst singer of a successful rock/metal group ever. Regardless, I still like listening to AC/DC. My interpretation is the Jack means she is a con artist or liar about her sexual history. If it is about an STD, so be it.
anonymous Jan 31st, 2011 1:00pm report
it has 2 meanings its supposed to sound like a card game but in turn it actually is talking about STDs.
anonymous Dec 13th, 2010 12:27am report
The lyrics were developed by Scott who was inspired by a letter Malcolm Young received during a tour of Adelaide. The letter, from a woman in Melbourne, implied that Malcolm had given her a venereal disease, however Malcolm claims that when he got tested and was clean. Scott's original lyrics were far more explicit than those on the album, which he deliberately toned down in case the song got played on radio.
Chado2423 Oct 12th, 2009 10:31pm report
She's got the Jack (aka She's got the Clap) are songs about Bon Scott catching Gonorreah from a woman who lied about being a virgin. Both "the Clap" and "The Jack" are Australian slang terms for STD's... The term "The Clap" specifically refers to Gonorrhea. Almost all ACDC songs have variations to them, even when done by ACDC!; but this song is one that probably has the most variations. "The Jack" was originally known as "The Clap." This was released in Australia in 1975 on their second album, T.N.T. Their first 2 Australian releases were combined to form High Voltage in 1976, which was their first album released worldwide. On the live version of this song, Bon Scott sometimes would share with the crowd a more direct set of lyrics than the one on the recording. This can be heard on AC/DC's 1978 live album If You Want Blood, You've Got It. AC/DC played this before a crowd of 500,000 at show in Toronto in 2003. The concert, which also featured The Rolling Stones, Rush, and others, was a benefit for the city, which suffered a drop in tourism due to the spread of a rare disease called SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome). AC/DC had no problem singing about one disease at a benefit for another, and the fans didn't mind either.

:) this is strange, I think the VD interpretation is right...
but I always thought that she's got the jack ment that she was a HE and Bon discovered it a little late and ran away..
a bit like Dude looks like a lady of aerosmith :) -
anonymous Jun 9th, 2009 6:59pm report
I'm setting the record straight The Jack yes has two different lyrics to it, the studio version which was also done live at atlantic studios and the live version that we all love anyway. It's a slang for gonorrhea in Australia and bon who was promiscuous must of caught it from this girl. Now knowing that bon got in trouble for swearing before he made a double meaning on the studio version to make it seem like a card game when there were sexual references like "she never had a full house" "my ace was high", if I knew what she was dealing out... come on people! Live versions they did the true meaning of the song because they didn't care it was live except on the live at Atlantic studios where they had to make it the studio version because it was on national radio they would get sued a lot of money. Come on people it's SEX! AC/DC is the greatest band of all time you guys just don't know!
anonymous May 19th, 2009 5:30am report
alright alright, first of all the song the jack was written by bon back in the pub days the song is about a girl who he slept with who had "the clap" as ever bon was famous for his inuendos the jack was the studio version,using a card game to replace the sexual encounter in the live version of the jack bon told the dirty story. good version of this is on the if you want blood album
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
anonymous Jan 13th, 2008 1:02pm report
I'm kind of freakin out, because these lyrics aren't anything like the ones on my ipod. Mine starts out with,
"She gave me her mind
then she gave me her body"
Then it says that she told him she was a virgin, then it says,
"And I had to fall in love with that dirty little bitch."
Why are these lyrics so different? -
anonymous Jan 9th, 2008 1:52am report
Just listen to it live on "If you want blood". You won't be confused at what Bon means.

It's about Bon Scott's you know what.... and STDs. If you think it's about cards you're dead wrong!
anonymous May 19th, 2007 5:34pm report
You guys are idiots! Brian Johnson is a great singer. The song is probably about either, like they said, an STD or is actually about a girl who beat Bon Scott in a poker game.

The Spay or Neuter decision
There has been much disinformation spread by proponents of spay and neuter as a method of population control, with claimed health benefits. Many vets also recommend the procedure, claiming health benefits without explaining (or necessarily understanding) the negative risk factors. Many adoption agreements require that a pup be altered by the age of six months.
This is a decision that should be left to the owner, and a good vet will understand and explain both the positive and negative aspects of spaying or neutering your dog, rather than proactively recommending it as standard procedure.
The following was forwarded to me by Dr. Charles Hjerpe DVM, Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine. It does not address the demonstrated behavioral issues that have been seen in neutered or spayed dogs, which should also be considered.
At some point, most of us with an interest in dogs will have to consider whether or not to spay/neuter our pet. Tradition holds that the benefits of doing so at an early age outweigh the risks. Often, tradition holds sway in the decision-making process even after countervailing evidence has accumulated.
Ms. Sanborn has reviewed the veterinary medical literature in an exhaustive and scholarly treatise, attempting to unravel the complexities of the subject. More than 50 peer-reviewed papers were examined to assess the health impacts of spay / neuter in female and male dogs, respectively. One cannot ignore the findings of increased risk from osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, hypothyroidism, and other less frequently occurring diseases associated with neutering male dogs. It would be irresponsible of the veterinary profession and the pet owning community to fail to weigh the relative costs and benefits of neutering on the animal's health and well-being. The decision for females may be more complex, further emphasizing the need for individualized veterinary medical decisions, not standard operating procedures for all patients.
No sweeping generalizations are implied in this review. Rather, the author asks us to consider all the health and disease information available as individual animals are evaluated. Then, the best decisions should be made accounting for gender, age, breed, and even the specific conditions under which the long-term care, housing and training of the animal will occur.
This important review will help veterinary medical care providers as well as pet owners make informed decisions. Who could ask for more?

Dog owners in America are frequently advised to spay/neuter their dogs for health reasons. A number of health benefits are cited, yet evidence is usually not cited to support the alleged health benefits.
When discussing the health impacts of spay/neuter, health risks are often not mentioned. At times, some risks are mentioned, but the most severe risks usually are not.
This article is an attempt to summarize the long-term health risks and benefits associated with spay/neuter in dogs that can be found in the veterinary medical literature. This article will not discuss the impact of spay/neuter on population control, or the impact of spay/neuter on behavior.
Nearly all of the health risks and benefits summarized in this article are findings from retrospective epidemiological research studies of dogs, which examine potential associations by looking backwards in time. A few are from prospective research studies, which examine potential associations by looking forward in time.
An objective reading of the veterinary medical literature reveals a complex situation with respect to the long- term health risks and benefits associated with spay/neuter in dogs. The evidence shows that spay/neuter correlates with both positive AND adverse health effects in dogs. It also suggests how much we really do not yet understand about this subject.
On balance, it appears that no compelling case can be made for neutering most male dogs, especially immature male dogs, in order to prevent future health problems. The number of health problems associated with neutering may exceed the associated health benefits in most cases.
On the positive side, neutering male dog
• Eliminates the small risk (probably <1%)
• Reduces the risk of non-cancerous prostate disorders
• Reduces the risk of perianal fistulas
• May possibly reduce the risk of diabetes (data inconclusive)
On the negative side, neutering male dogs
• If done before 1 year of age, significantly increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer); this is a common cancer in medium/large and larger breeds with a poor prognosis.
• Increases the risk of cardiac hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 1.6
• Triples the risk of hypothyroidism
• Increases the risk of progressive geriatric cognitive impairment
• Triples the risk of obesity, a common health problem in dogs with many associated health problems
• Quadruples the small risk (<0.6%)
• Doubles the small risk (<1%)
• Increases the risk of orthopedic disorders
• Increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations
For female dogs, the situation is more complex. The number of health benefits associated with spaying may exceed the associated health problems in some (not all) cases. On balance, whether spaying improves the odds of overall good health or degrades them probably depends on the age of the female dog and the relative risk of various diseases in the different breeds.
On the positive side, spaying female dogs
• If done before 2.5 years of age, greatly reduces the risk of mammary tumors, the most common malignant tumors in female dogs
• Nearly eliminates the risk of pyometra, which otherwise would affect about 23% of intact female dogs; pyometra kills about 1% of intact female dogs
• Reduces the risk of perianal fistulas
• Removes the very small risk (≤0.5%) from uterine, cervical, and ovarian tumors
On the negative side, spaying female dogs
• If done before 1 year of age, significantly increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer); this is a common cancer in larger breeds with a poor prognosis
• Increases the risk of splenic hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 2.2 and cardiac hemangiosarcoma by a factor of>5; this is a common cancer and major cause of death in some breeds
• Triples the risk of hypothyroidism
• Increases the risk of obesity by a factor of 1.6-2, a common health problem in dogs with many associated health problems
• Causes urinary "spay incontinence" in 4-20% of female dogs
• Increases the risk of persistent or recurring urinary tract infections by a factor of 3-4
• Increases the risk of recessed vulva, vaginal dermatitis, and vaginitis, especially for female dogs spayed before puberty
• Doubles the small risk (<1%)>
• Increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations
One thing is clear – much of the spay/neuter information that is available to the public is unbalanced and contains claims that are exaggerated or unsupported by evidence. Rather than helping to educate pet owners, much of it has contributed to common misunderstandings about the health risks and benefits associated of spay/neuter in dogs.
The traditional spay/neuter age of six months as well as the modern practice of pediatric spay/neuter appear to predispose dogs to health risks that could otherwise be avoided by waiting until the dog is physically mature, or perhaps in the case of many male dogs, foregoing it altogether unless medically necessary.
The balance of long-term health risks and benefits of spay/neuter will vary from one dog to the next. Breed, age, and gender are variables that must be taken into consideration in conjunction with non-medical factors for each individual dog.
Across-the-board recommendations for all pet dogs do not appear to be supportable from findings in the veterinary medical literature.

Johnny Crockett
NC 3X CH Johnny Crockett with his trainer/handler W. C. Kirk.
Johnny Crockett was born on July 20th, 1964 in a litter bred by Claud Patterson of Mt. Pleasant, Texas by Wonsover's Crockett Jed X Patterson's Flying Lady. His handler, W.C. Kirk of Bowie, Texas, got "Boy" at about four months of age. He was owned during his Derby year by John S. Fisher of Garland, Texas. Hank Sheely became a owner of the dog early in 1966 . W.C. Kirk, his wife Mary, and Hank Sheely nurtured the development of the young dog.
He was small for a male setter – only about 34 lbs., but with tons of bottom and grit. He is renowned among setter enthusiasts as he was the last setter to win the National Bird Dog Championship, which he won in 1970 under his handler W.C. Kirk for owner Hank Seeley. "Boy" is the only setter ever to win the Purina Top Field Trial Dog Award, and the only setter to win multiple all-age championships with heats longer than one hour since 1946.
Ed Soph developed and promoted the Crockett dogs in Texas. The line's foundation sire was Kid Crockett, who produced Eugene Crockett, who produced Eugene Crockett II. The Crocketts had a big impact on the setter breed as a whole. The Crockett line was built on Eugene M. linebred dogs with some Mississippi Zev blood added. By all accounts he was a thrilling dog to watch.. a great dog, with a ton of heart.
Editor William F. Brown when writing about Johnny Crockett's performance at Grand Junction in the 1970 Christmas Issue of the American Field noted:
"It was not an easy assignment dog and handler faced. The going was rigorous, the footing difficult in places, but most worrisome was the fact that birds had been touchy on occasion, inactive a great deal of the time, inclined to tuck themselves away in sheltered places. The first week of running birds had been noted to flush well ahead of the dogs without provocation and fly into inaccessible recesses… Only a dog obsessed with finding birds, determined in his quest, oblivious of punishing cover could hope for success.
"Johnny Crockett soon proved he had the tools. He searched industriously, handled and got some results early...his fox-like gait indicative of the 'route-goer' got him through the grueling race. But it was his quail contacts at the very end of his long heat that earned him the title… he wound up with nine contacts and a back of his bracemate..."
After an examination revealed that he had a malignant brain tumor "Boy" went to Canada to live out his last days in the household of his handler, W. C. Kirk. Johnny Crocket died in Canada on July 24, 1972. He was eight years old.
Before his death, his owner, Hank Seeley, had semen collected and frozen, which produced a litter of pups in 1980 - eight years after his death. His production record shows him to be the sire of 40 field trial winners with 147 wins. Among his descendants are the notable setters CH Crockett's New Horizon, CH See Johnny Run, RU-CH High Definition, and CH Jetsetter, among many others. His influence continues to be felt after more than 35 years. And setter people are waiting for another great dog to win the National.
Johnny Crockett was inducted into the Bird Dog Hall of Fame in 2008.

A nice old gun is made new
Note: Though I posted a bit on this gun earlier this year, I thought to fill in a little more background...
Though I am certainly not a collector of shotguns, I have been interested in some makers' work and am agnostic to country of origin, owning American, English, Scottish, Spanish, German and Italian arms over the years.
In particular, I have been interested in an American firm - Schoverling, Daly and Gales of New York - importers and sellers of the famous Charles Daly guns early in the last century. Of these guns the most well respected are the guns made for SD&G by H. Lindner of Suhl. When Clair Kofoed called me and said that a friend had a 'hard used' 20 gauge, 28" Damascus barreled Lindner Daly I was interested, and when I met Clair in Southern Oregon for a chukar hunt, I saw and bought the gun. It was tired, the wood scarred and worn and below the metal in places - not saveable. But the barrels were superb bright inside, poorly blued (Ack!) on the outside, but in excellent condition, the proper thickness for safe shooting. and stamped with H. A. Lindner's easily recognized maker's mark... the initials HAL over crossed pistols on the barrels near the flats.
On my annual trip to the American Custom Gunmaker's and Firearms Engraver's Guild of America exhibit in Reno, I brought the gun along to consult with people who are experts in the resurrection of fine guns. Long story made shorter, I left the gun with Dennis Potter for assessment and repair, bought a decent stick of Turkish walnut from Steve Heilmann, and arranged with Sam Welch, Pete Mazur and Gary Goudy to recut the engraving, refinish the metal, and restock the gun, respectively. Below is the excellent result.

This little gun (about 5-1/2 lbs.) is fun to carry and shoot, and has accounted for a number of doves and quail. It is 'right' for me. I thank Dennis, Sam, Pete, and Gary for their usual excellent work in resurrecting a fine old gun for another 100 plus years of service.
A bit more on letting a dog relocate on its own...
In an interview on the stunning new Field Trial website,
, winning cover dog trial owner, trainer and handler, Joe McCarl, made the following comment...
"It's critical to let the dog figure out how to handle game. After all, I can't smell the bird so how can I tell the dog where to stop? I have had some judges tell me they don't like a dog self-relocating before the flush. I disagree, I want the dog pinning the bird, not pointing where it was feeding a few minutes ago and suffering an unproductive."
The value of ground time and wild birds... no substitute.

A plea to defeat AB 1634
I swiped this - with the best of intentions - from Steve Bodio's blog. A plea for help to defeat California's proposed mandatory spay and neuter legislation, AB 1634...
Thursday, July 10, 2008
I just returned from NW Nevada where I spent five days camping in a remote spot, ungrazed (for about 10 years). It was covered by sage brush, grasses and forbs - full and lush despite the pressure from wild horses and antelope. I flushed many sage grouse, and the country looked well watered and green.
I'll add some pictures soon.

Lars Persson of the Skelleftea police said the 31-year-old man, whose name was not released, initially denied the charges against him but changed his mind and pleaded guilty to aggravated theft during his remand hearing, Swedish news agency TT reported Tuesday.
Persson said the man reached into his underwear during the hearing and pulled out the medications he was accused of stealing from a residence.
"This is the first time someone under arrest produces suspected stolen goods in the middle of a remand hearing," Persson said.

Robin Trower
found his greatest career success in the mid-'70s, his intensely soulful brand of
Jimi Hendrix
-inspired psychedelic blues-rock guitar playing helped him maintain a healthy audience decades past his commercial heyday. During his long career he worked with several different singers, most notably ex-
Stone the Crows
James Dewar
, who, along with drummer
Bill Lordan
, constituted the "classic"
Robin Trower
band lineup found on the legendary albums
Bridge of Sighs
. Surprisingly, however,
himself never assumed sole lead vocal duties until 2009's
What Lies Beneath
. Fortunately, the veteran rocker was revealed to be possessed of wonderfully earthy, R&B-influenced pipes often reminiscent of
J.J. Cale
Dire Straits
Mark Knopfler
. On the majority of tracks, including highlights "Time and Emotion" and "Wish You Were Mine," the London native favors a mellower, more ethereal approach that will please lovers of vintage fan favorites "Daydream" and "I Can't Wait Much Longer." That said, there are a few nods to
's "Day of the Eagle"/"Too Rolling Stoned"-style power blues numbers of yore, especially on the viciously funky,
Thin Lizzy-esque
"Skin and Bone" and the muscular, hooky "Freefall." As with the majority of
Robin Trower
's catalog, however, the most striking feature about
What Lies Beneath
is the man's utter mastery of electric guitar tone and phrasing. Though the vocals and songwriting are appealingly solid, it's the deeply emotional warmth of
's subtly magnificent Stratocaster work that will put listeners under the virtuoso axe slinger's aural spell.

WALLA WALLA — The sound of a prop plane roaring in for a landing at the Walla Walla Airport opened the 1970s Night Flight radio show hosted by local rock 'n' roll DJ Dave Herbert Cochran, recalled Richard "Rich" Greenwood, who as a teenager caught his broadcasts. Cochran died Nov. 27.
Burial was Friday at Pine Grove Cemetery in Hood River, Ore.
Variously known on air as "Rockin' Cochran," "Dynamic Dave" and "Sebastian," among others, the Hawaiian shirt-clad Cochran was part of area radio activity from the late 1960s into the 1970s. He died at age 62, shortly after Thanksgiving, and was found at his Walla Walla home at 11 E. Chestnut St., said Greenwood, the Walla Walla County coroner.
Despite being a bit of a loner, Cochran reached thousands over the airwaves. Some of his first audience was captive.
It started in his early teens when he built a transmitter. He lived near the Washington State Penitentiary and had a pirate radio station in his basement with a six-block range. "His broadcasts hit the pen and inmates listened to him," Greenwood said.
As an infant, Cochran came to Walla Walla with mother Roma Jean Banister Cochran and brother Terry Allen, after his father's death from polio.
Cousins John Wells of Hood River, Ore., and Deborah Banister Kirk of Port Angeles, Wash., said Cochran suffered through the loss of his father, who died before he was born; his brother, who was killed in an accident at age 18 in August 1966; and their mother, who suffered from diabetes before her death in 1986.
"He was by himself and yet he walked right through it, always happy," Wells said. Cochran was living on Social Security the past few years. "But he was able to cope with his disabilities."
He was a local mall Santa, the cousins said, and rang a bell for The Salvation Army's fundraisers, celebrated his birthday at Rising Sun Clubhouse — he was born Feb. 9, 1950, in Hood River — and ate dinner every night at the Christian Aid Center.
His distinctive appearance as an albino included white hair, white eyebrows and eyelashes, pale pink skin and pink eyes. Among the health concerns albinos experience is vision, Greenwood said. Cochran became blind in 2009.
Before he graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1968, Cochran worked at KTEL 1490 as a DJ, Wells said. He received his first-class radio-telephone license in 1972 and worked at nine other stations including KUJ 1420 AM and KAFR, Wells said.
"Dave thoroughly enjoyed all kinds of music. He knew the artist, composer and when a song first hit the top of the charts. He humorously delivered this information to his audience in a manner only Rockin' Cochran could do," Wells said.
Former Walla Wallan Mike Barer, also a member of the Wa-Hi Class of 1976, said in those years he worked part time at KTEL.
He said it seemed all that mattered to Cochran was being on KTEL. "To the listeners, he was bigger than life. To the management, from what I've pretty much heard, he was a major headache. His talent and rebellious spirit really came across on the air. Much of the music that I've come to love over the decades was introduced to me by listening to Rockin' Cochran."
Barer said after KTEL let Cochran go, "he did voice-over commercials on the local cable TV channel and a Yakima/Tri-Cities station before reappearing again in the summer of 1976 as a rock DJ on KUJ ... It was a short-lived engagement as management there grew weary of Cochran's free-form ways."
"Dave Cochran may be gone, but former Walla Walla teens who wanted to be part of the scene decades ago will never forget him."
Hot Poop owner Jim McGuinn said the DJ was known as "Country Cuzin Cochran" on the country portion of KTEL's broadcast.
"He would run some commercials and then come back using a more dynamic voice as 'Rockin' Cochran.' Dave had the reputation of being Walla Walla's equivalent of TV's legendary Johnny Fever (on WKRP in Cincinnati) who was kicked off the air for saying 'booger.'"
Dave told McGuinn KTEL fired him for doing a live remote from the Stereobird music and video store in the Eastgate Mall. "Dave told me that he encouraged listeners to 'come in and take a gander' at the smoking accessories available here," McGuinn said.
Wells said during Cochran's career, he was a videographer and managed TV 13 of Walla Walla from 1974-75 and was supervisor of electronics at Griggs Department Store from 1978-80.
He studied computers at Walla Walla Community College in 1997 and worked with Goodwill Industries in electronics. He also worked for a time at D&K Frozen Foods, Greenwood said.
Cochran collected music and film, played piano and synthesized re-mixed tapes, recordings he sold commercially. "His friends considered him an electronics genius," Wells said.
Kirk and Cochran, only four months apart, grew up together.
"A highlight in David's life was being Santa Claus every year. That was huge for him. He was always talking about that. He came in on the fire truck and then was at the mall," she said.
"He liked the joy, being part of something and being able to interact with the kids, who were so excited. He was a kid at heart, a sweetie pie. Part of his enjoyment came from being needed. He was just always happy and would do anything for anybody and had a real humble heart. I loved him so much."

Re: All Encompassing Matt Schaub Thread
Love it GP, and agree wholeheartedly. How do teams like San Fran and Seattle do it, yet the Texans seem to get the Carrs and Schaubs?
Schaub was just a tiny step up from Carr. We need a monumental step up from Schaub. This team will never compete with the likes of Green Bay, NE, San Fran, Seattle, New York, if that one major issue is not addressed.
Maybe they should send some scouts to San Fran and Seattle to see how exactly they were able to do what Houston Cannot.
Thinking back on the Oilers, did they ever acquire that elite QB?
Pastorini, nope.
Ken Stabler, just a tad washed up when we got him, if I recall correctly.
Warren, good, probably better than Schaub.
Nobody wants to compare the Oilers to our Texans.
the Oilers had their first winning season of the decade going 10-4 but did not make the playoffs. Injuries and
inadequate offense
doomed them to a 5-9 season in 1976

When Shash did her recent post about Slow Clothes, I had also been thinking long and hard about the state of my (and my family's) wardrobe, and doing a little bit of sustainable fashion research. One of the web resources that I found that I felt was quite useful, in regards to clothing yourself and your family more sustainably, was this post at Planet Green, which I found via Treehugger. There are many ways of approaching a more sustainable wardrobe, and this post succinctly captures 10 key ideas. Some might tie in with things you already do, others might fire your interest and inspire you to research, think or take action in a different way. Their tips cover a number of approaches to shopping and thinking about your clothing needs, caring for your clothes, and disposing of them when you're done.
Number 2 on their list (love your duds) inspired me to sit down and do some mending to some toddler clothes. I received a couple of pairs of good quality pants from a friend when she was clearing out her son's wardrobe a year ago. In addition to being worn by her son for some time, they've now been worn by my son for most of the year too. I have to say we love them. They have a great feature that gives them true trans-seasonal functionality- the bottom of the leg can be zipped off so they transform from long pants into shorts (particularly great when you live in a place that is famous for offering four seasons worth of weather per day). However, after so much wear I noticed that not only were the hems well past being well worn, but the fabric was starting to fall apart at the knees.
As they still fit really well, and are so handy to have, I decided to give them a bit of a life injection by patching the knees. We pulled out some fabric scraps from the scrap tub and I stitched them over the worn places with rows of three-step zig zag. Definitely not perfect, but perfectly appropriate for casual toddler play pants I think. While I was in the swing of it, I also mended a fraying linen tea towel (the only kind of tea towel to have) and a few holes in some toddler T-shirts (must keep a closer eye on him when he's playing with his scissors!).
I hope the Planet Green post also inspires you in some way. Some other inspiring links and resources I have come across include:
- ecouterre which provides posts in a range of fashion and beauty issues and news items, and whose mission page highlights some hard core facts about the environmental impact of clothing and the fashion industry;
- How big is your eco, an Australian site listing local fashion labels including their eco credentials in relation to fabric, care, packaging or carbon footprint. It's made me more aware of some local designers and manufacturers(like Otto and Spike, and Gorman) who I'm now keeping an eye out for on those occasions when I am shopping to buy something new;
- This article on Zero Waste Fashion, an idea which is slow to catch on in the mainstream fashion industry, but it perhaps something that home crafters and sewers are in a great position to employ;
- And not far removed from the idea of Zero Waste Fashion is the inspiring work of Sew-Green contributor Lisa Solomon, with her creative side project MODify/d, making use of fashion industry "waste" and transforming it into something beautiful and useful.

I want to render using Richfaces a context menu on left click on a link-appearing text (blue text, and underline and cursor onmouseover). So, imagine a link which when clicked shows a context menu. Note that I don't care if the text is indeed a link, I just want it to appear as a link. So, even normal text would be fine, I would make it appear as a link using CSS.
I have the following conditions:
- The context menu must appear on client side, without making a request.
- The context menu must appear using a
(these "links") are inside a datatable, so the samerich:contextMenu
must be re-used.
I still have not found a satisfactory solution, as each approach I have tried has caused a problem for me:
- If I use
(that would be ideal), I cannot attach on it arich:componentControl
(I guess because it cannot fire an onclick event). - If I use
, although I can attach arich:componentControl
, it makes a server request. I tried to addonclick="return false;"
to prevent the request, but Richfaces adds the JS generated by therich:componentControl
after whatever is inside the onclick, which causes this code not to be reached at all, and of course the context menu not to appear at all.
Is there any way to do this? Please remember, no request!

Record & recall
Need to remember something?
Make a note of it, then put the note where you will see it at the appropriate time: next to the coffeemaker, on the front door, etc.
The possibilities are almost endless, as you may already know!
Mistakes and forgetfulness are part of life. Why fret and festoon your room with memory-jogging post-it notes, when you can let a tape recorder keep the details straight and a calculator, crunch the numbers.
Recorders offer a relaxing change of pace from note-taking. Try recording plans, procedures, reminders instead. We even have an inexpensive portable model that slips in a pocket for shopping trips.

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have opposing viewpoints on topics some find most important to our nation. With the election approaching, here is a guide with video from The Associated Press and links to the candidates' websites on their views on taxes and the debt, jobs and the economy and education.
Taxes and the debt
There is a huge conflict between Democrats and Republicans over extending the Bush tax cuts as they come to an end at the end of 2012, increasing taxes for just about every U.S. taxpayer. In this video, Stephen Ohlemacher of the AP explains that the core issue for the two parties is to decide how much revenue the government should raise and how much it should spend.
President Obama and his Republican opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, both argue that their tax plans will help middle-class families and create jobs. However, both say their opponent's plan will not work. Obama accuses Romney of not fully explaining how he is going to cut taxes, while Romney argues that the U.S. has doubled its national debt since Obama has been in office. The two aired their differences about the issue in this AP video from last week's presidential debate.
There are several differences between the Obama and Romney tax plans. The president intends to use tax reform to raise additional revenue while specifically focusing on cutting taxes for middle-class families. Romney intends to lower tax rates for Americans of every income level and be revenue neutral.
According to Obama's campaign website, the president claims he will do the following:
- Ask millionaires to pay their fair share.
- Invest in the middle class.
- Reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next decade.
According to Romney's campaign website, the Republican challenger claims he will do the following:
- Make a permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal income tax rates.
- Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends and capital gains.
- Eliminate the estate tax and taxes for those with adjusted gross income below $200,000 on interest, dividends and capital gains.
- Repeal the alternative minimum tax.
Jobs and the economy
In the second presidential debate, Obama and Romney both agreed that young Americans should be able to afford college and get well-paying jobs once they graduate. Romney says he is confident that he knows what it takes to create jobs and get the economy going. Obama, on the other hand, argues that he will bring back manufacturing jobs, help Americans control their own energy sources and increase taxes for wealthy Americans so that everyone can afford the best education.
Obama's plan for boosting the economy and creating jobs focuses on rescuing the auto industry, reviving U.S. manufacturing, bringing jobs back to the U.S. by eliminating tax breaks for companies and making sure that everyone will play by the same rules, according to his website. In his economic and jobs plan, Romney advocates reducing taxes, spending, regulation and government programs while increasing trade, energy production, human capital and labor flexibility.
Although there is widespread agreement that a college degree has become even more important to get a decent job, a degree no longer ensures job security in today's economy. As the cost of higher education rises, students and parents are acquiring more debt. In this video, the AP reviews the issue.
On his campaign website, Obama says he plans to make higher education more attainable by doubling funding for Pell grants and establishing a college tax credit. He said he prevented federal student loan rates from doubling for more than 7 million students. He plans to implement incentives to keep teachers motivated in the classroom, such as the Race to the Top initiative designed to reward innovation in local schools.
On his campaign website, Romney emphasizes promoting choice and innovation in education. He supports allowing low-income families and special-needs students to choose which school they attend by making Title I and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act funds portable, as well as providing incentives for states to increase choices for parents. He says he will reform No Child Left Behind by emphasizing transparency and responsibility for results. Romney says he will improve higher education by strengthening and simplifying the financial aid system.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Regulation Inside Government analyses the army of inspectors, auditors, grievance-chasers, standard-setters, and other bodies overseeing contemporary public organizations. On the basis of a pioneering two-year inside study of British Government by a team of leading scholars, this book provides an original analytical perspective on regulation within government. Given the limitations of orthodox constitutional checks on executive government, the courts, and elected politicians, regulation inside government deserves more attention than it has hitherto received. As one of the first comprehensive accounts of regulation inside government, this book begins to fill the gap. The empirical data for the study sets out the full range of modes of control applied to the public sector. The authors examine the relationship between formal oversight, of the traditional regulatory sort, with other forms of control based on competition, mutuality, and contrived randomness. They conclude that there is a failure in contemporary public management to deploy each of these modes of control to their full potential.

A city council member representing parts of northeast Oklahoma City wants to put a parole substation on the property of the Sooner Haven Apartment complex to deter crime.
Council member John Pettis, Jr. said he's working to keep his campaign promise to reduce crime in his entire district. His initial target is the Sooner Haven complex, located off NE 36th Street near Lottie Avenue and Prospect Avenue.
"I'm absolutely fed up," he said. "It's time to change the outlook of Sooner Haven. People call it the projects. But I want them to see something else. I want to give the residents the chance to succeed."
Pettis' idea is to put a Department of Corrections substation right on the property. It would be a new parole office with five or six parole officers. The concept is already being done in Lawton and in public housing communities across the country.
"I believe it would work here," Pettis said. "We have research that proves it can work. The crime that happens isn't coming from the people who live there. The majority of the crime that takes place here is from people just released from prison."
Sooner Haven is no stranger to criminal activity. Since January, Oklahoma City police responded to 412 incidents there, including several shootings.
"I'm scared, and I stick to myself," said one residents who didn't want show her face on camera or tell us her name for fear of retaliation. "I happy about this idea ... I think it will work. Yes I do. Once they see, like I said, authority here, they (criminals) will move someone else."
Pettis plans to apply for federal grants to fund the substation. Right now, it's still in the concept stage.

SPRINGFIELD – What used to be a scenic neighborhood with large old trees lining the tree belts is now a row of homes in various states of repair and a street dotted with splintered trees.
"Losing the trees has been monumental for us. It was an important part of our landscape that is now gone," said Armando Feliciano, owner of a single-family home on Amanda Street that was destroyed by the June 1 tornado.
Like many of his neighbors Feliciano, his wife, their daughter and their two grandchildren are back in their home after nearly a year of living with family, and later a cramped one-bedroom apartment on Pearl Street.
Sitting in the living room of his newly-built, energy-efficient home, Feliciano recalls the terror felt by his family as the tornado ripped through the neighborhood and destroyed their old house, his cars and his way of life.
"It was something you're never really prepared for," he said. " We were all home, and the sound was deafening. It was surreal."
Feliciano's daughter, Germaris Piñero, said for her the most difficult thing has been the emotional impact on her children, especially her 5-year-old daughter who is now in therapy.
"She is scared of trees. She is scared of loud sounds, of rain. It's been tough," Piñero said.
Having two small children ages 5 and 9, three adults and two dogs living in a one-bedroom apartment was also extremely difficult, she said. "There was one bathroom and a lot of people. We are a close loving family, but it was still very hard," she said.
The apartment in the city's downtown was in a very different environment from their East Forest Park neighborhood and did not include a safe place for the kids or even the family dogs to play.
"We were used to letting the dogs run loose outside in the backyard, and the kids had plenty of space to play, but all of that was gone in the area we were living," Feliciano said.
Piñero also lost her businesses on the day of the tornado.
"We had just finished redoing the basement so that she could start her daycare business at home. Her first day would have been June 2," Feliciano said.

SummaryRand Ko was an Imperial Knight that was a stationed on Borosk during the end of the Second Imperial Civil War in 138 ABY.BiographyRand Ko was stationed on Borosk during the Second Imperial Civil War and whoever controlled the planet controlled the system. Ko was leading the Fel Empire's garrison when it came under attack from the Sith Empire during Darth Krayt's attempt to break the Galaxy after his own death and resurrection. Ko sends a transmission to bastion asking whether the Emperor Fel if he and the remaining troops should retreat or fight to the death because their lines are overrun by a relatively huge Sith force. Fel orders a retreat but before Ko can respond he is attacked by a Sith and the connection is lost.PersonalityRand Ko was a very loyal Imperial Knight willing to fight to the death against the Sith for the Fel Empire.Powers and AbilitiesRand was a Force sensitive human male who was a fully trained Imperial Knight. He had skills in lightsaber combat and was an adept Force user as all Imperial Knights were. He was also an accomplished leader as the Borosk system changed hands several times during the war, it is therefore right to assume that since he was leading the defense during the battle that he had taken the planet in the name of the Fel Empire at least once.

Jack Nicholson has sent Jennifer Lawrence a bunch of flowers.
The 76-year-old actor shocked the 'American Hustle' star earlier this year at the Academy Awards when he interrupted her interview to tell her she looks like an old girlfriend of his, but he has since sweetened her up by sending her a bouquet and a bottle of champagne.
She told ABC news: "He [Jack] sent me some flowers and a bottle of Cristal and a note that said 'Missing you already'. Not to brag."
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence Goes Back To Brown
She added: "I should have probably kept that a secret so it could just be between me and Jack."
During Jennifer's interview with 'Good Morning America' after she scooped the Best Actress award in February, Jack interrupted and told her "You look like an old girlfriend of mine", to which she jokingly responded: "Oh really, do I look like a new girlfriend?"
However, she was left feeling red-faced when Jack replied: "I thought about it" before adding "I'll be waiting".

that won't work. It should be
if(get_post_meta( $post->ID, "exclude", true )) { }I used this before but I am adding a dynamic class="last" if it's 2 cols, 3 cols and 4 cols.. so I decided to add the exclude in the $arg statement…

The Warriors played in Philadelphia between 1946 and 1962, winning the 1947 BAA championship and 1956 NBA championship while in Philadelphia. The franchise relocated to San Francisco prior to the 1962-63 season, and were known as the San Francisco Warriors until 1971, when the franchise again changed its name for a third and final time, to the Golden State Warriors. Golden State won the 1975 NBA Finals -- but haven't been back to the NBA Finals since. Though Golden State went through over a decade of futility, the Warriors are now one of the most exciting teams in the NBA once again, led by Stephen Curry, David Lee and Andrew Bogut.

Great Marley's Ghost! A Preview Review of Disney's A Christmas Carol in 3D (Jim Carrey)
Disney held screenings of a scene from A Christmas Carol in 3D today at select cities nationwide and I was fortunate enough to be able to sit in on one at the 8-story-tall IMAX theater in New York. Best I can tell, this is the same footage that was shown to audiences at Cannes earlier this year.
The scene was that in which Ebenezer Scrooge's belated business partner, Jacob Marley, pays Scrooge a visit to warn him of the fateful night's events, in which three ghosts will attempt to right the wrongs of Scrooge's ways. Instead of the 'I'd rather not' response that's shown in the trailer and also in the film clip we brought you a while back, Scrooge asks if he can have all three at once instead (which probably would make for an interesting take on the classic).

JPCs have never nailed the guilty: Bansal
A combative Congress finally hit back on Wednesday, launching a two-pronged attack on the Opposition, particularly the Bharatiya Janata Party.
First, it cited the Supreme Court's observation that the Central Bureau of Investigation should probe the 2G spectrum scam from 2001 onwards, in support of its own allegations against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance that the latter blocked a debate in Parliament to blank out its record in the Telecom Ministry between 1998 and 2004.
Simultaneously, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Bansal underlined the Congress' "constructive" conduct while in opposition, while stressing that past experience with joint parliamentary committees demonstrated that they never succeeded in "nailing" the guilty. For, they tended to function along partisan lines. Mr. Bansal described as a "clear breach of privilege of the House" the action of senior NDA leaders expressing reservations about the fast pace of the Public Accounts Committee, headed by the BJP's Murli Manohar Joshi, in examining the Comptroller and Auditor-General's Report on the 2G spectrum scam.
It was also a day which saw CBI searches on the houses of the former Telecom Minister A. Raja, his family members and aides, something government sources underscored as evidence that it meant business.
Asked whether the searches on Mr. Raja would not drive a wedge between the party and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagham, a Congress leader said: "No, not at all. The CAG's report is in the public space. If Mr. Raja is to be exonerated, it will have to be through the investigative process. Six months are left for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections — [by which time] the inquiry could end one way or the other. This has been put squarely to the DMK leadership."
However, the Congress is taking no chances with its allies. Publicly, these parties, addressing their constituencies in their States, have indicated that they have no objection to a JPC probe into the 2G scam; privately, they have assured the Congress they will support whatever decision it takes and stick with the United Progressive Alliance.
A senior Congress source said a scheduled meeting between Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and the allies on Monday was cancelled, lest "leaks" from that session create an impression of dissonance within the government. The Congress, the source said, decided not to hold any "meeting" with the allies during what remains of this Parliament session and, instead, designated Mr. Bansal to "speak" for the coalition.
However, communication lines between the Congress and its allies are kept open: on Wednesday, DMK leader T.R. Baalu met both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Mr. Mukherjee separately, to discuss the impact of the excessive rains in Tamil Nadu, while a Trinamool Congress delegation called on Congress president Sonia Gandhi, apparently to discuss West Bengal-related issues.
'Emperor without clothes'
Meanwhile, welcoming the Supreme Court's observations, Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said, "Those who held Parliament to ransom did so because a parliamentary debate would have exposed their role and policy in the telecom sector. It would have been a case of the emperor without clothes."
If every change in the telecom policy made during the UPA's six years in power was to be interpreted as a scam, Mr. Tewari stressed, it would only be fair that all policy changes effected during the NDA rule were also examined to find out whether these were made to benefit the telecom sector or private individuals.
Elaborating, Mr. Tewari said the CAG Report for 1998-99 showed that the NDA government's policies led to a substantive – not presumptive – loss to the exchequer; that its allocation of spectrum to existing operators, beyond what it was obliged to, in 2002, in the name of increasing tele-density, "proved to be a bonanza for telecom operators." And, in April 2004, in the midst of the general elections, the NDA government reduced the licence fee for all operators.
Mr. Bansal accused the Opposition of doing "irreversible and immeasurable damage" to Parliament. He said it was unprecedented in Indian parliamentary history so many consecutive working days were lost on account of the Opposition protest.
Referring to the first JPC that was accepted by the Congress government in 1987, he said only one working day was lost then; similarly in 1992, a JPC was accepted on the Harshad Mehta affair by the Congress without any disruption.
"Our experience," Mr. Bansal said, was that JPCs tend to "function on polarised lines," and, therefore, nothing concrete ever emerged from them as in the case of the Bofors JPC.

Sir Martin Frobisher (1535 or 1539 – 15 November 1594) was an English seaman who made three voyages to the New World to look for the Northwest Passage. All landed in northeastern Canada, around today's Resolution Island and Frobisher Bay.[1] On his second voyage, Frobisher found what he thought was gold ore and carried 200 tons of it home on three ships, where initial assaying determined it to be worth a profit of £5.1 per ton. Encouraged, Frobisher returned to Canada with an even larger fleet and dug several mines around Frobisher Bay. He carted 1,350 tons of the ore back where, after years of smelting, it was realized that both that batch of ore and the earlier one he had taken were worthless iron pyrite. As an English privateer/pirate, he collected riches from French ships. He was later knighted for his service in repelling the Spanish Armada in 1588.
