Graham said that he and the team have discussed the move all offseason and decided to give the position change a try on Tuesday when the team held its first workout of OTAs.
"He's got that unique ability where he can do both things," coach Rex Ryan said. "So let's see what we have out there. And this is no slam on Duke or on Rambo or on Meeks or any of those guys, but this is us doing what's best for the team. And if that means we feel good about [Graham] playing safety, then that's where he'll be."
Graham is enthusiastic about playing the safety position full-time.
"I want to try to really learn it and see where it goes, see how much my grasp is, see how I'm playing at it, see where it can take me," he said. "I look forward to it. It's a challenge for me, but I'm actually very excited about it."
Graham recorded 84 total tackles last season, his first in Buffalo, while intercepting two passes.

"I'm a young guy still on the team, but guys are pushing me forward to say something in the huddle, or break the team down, or break the offense down," Bridgewater said. "That just gives you that confidence in yourself, confidence in your leadership and I've been extremely comfortable doing that so far."
Coach Mike Zimmer is satsfied with the work Bridgewater has done during the offseason.
"It's hard to never not be pleased with Teddy because he's such a hard worker," Zimmer said. "We wanted him to get bigger and stronger; he looks a little bit bigger to me. He's always worked real hard. The leadership things are starting to come better. I think he's been doing a good job the two days we've been out here against the defense."
Bridgewater made 12 starts in his rookie season and played 13 games in all, racking up 2,919 yards, 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while completing 64.4 percent of his passes.

Sanders is working with new offensive coordinator Rick Dennison and coach Gary Kubiak to install the team's new offense and noted it's very different from last year's spread attack.
"You talk about going from a no-huddle offense to an offense that's huddling up, to an offense that is predicated off running a football and then throwing it. It's different," Sanders said.
"It's a totally different set up, but I tell you what, the more and more I'm in it," said Sanders. "Because we can get the run game going and just use my vertical speed on cross routes and all these different combinations of routes is based off the play action, then I think the offense will be successful with Peyton Manning at the helm."
Sanders, who totaled 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns in 2014, doesn't think he'll accomplish the same numbers.
"Of course obviously it's not going to be one of those offenses, well I'm praying that it is, but obviously it's not going to be one of those offenses where you catch it and you're going to have two receivers catching over 100 passes," said Sanders. "Hopefully, my goal is really to try to get a 1,000 yards to just help this team win ball games."

Collins, who was signed as an undrafted free agent, could also see time at left guard. But the rookie is taking his first reps with the team at right tackle with Darrion Weems while Doug Free recovers from ankle surgery.
"We think he has the physical ability to play a couple of different spots," coach Jason Garrett said. "He was a tackle for most of his career in college but did play guard. We see him as a guy who can maybe do both of those things as he goes.
"The big thing for him is to try to get him acclimated as quickly as we can. So right now he's going to play right tackle for us. He and Darrion Weems are competing at that spot in Doug Free's absence and we'll just see how that unfolds."

"The reason I'm not attending OTAs has nothing to do with wanting to be traded. It's about securing my future with the Vikings. It's business, not personal and I understand that firsthand. Go Vikings."
It was reported earlier Wednesday that coach Mike Zimmer said that Peterson could "either play for us or not play." The running back has expressed frustration with team management for not showing him support during his legal case for child abuse.

Southward did not attend Tuesday's OTA and it is not known how long he'll be sidelined.

"There is no 'Here's me coming in, and Blake's going to get on my page.' I'm going to be on Blake's page," Thomas said. "Whatever he expects, that's what I am going to do. He's the quarterback. He's the one in control of that huddle, and I like catching passes so I will make sure I do exactly what he wants."
With Thomas entering his first season with the Jaguars, he said it will take time to develop a rapport with Bortles.
"I think that getting good chemistry with a quarterback probably takes a couple of thousand passes," Thomas said.

"For me, I'm just going out there grinding," he said. "However the coaches put me out there – whether it's first team or second team. When it comes time for them to make a decision, it's totally up to them. I'm just trying to get that playbook down and take advantage of this opportunity."
McFadden is competing with Joseph Randle to be the first-team running back, and he said he just wants to work hard and not worry about how many repetitions he's receiving with the first team.
"Once you've been in a place so long like Oakland, you can get set in your ways," McFadden said Wednesday, after his second OTA practice with the Cowboys. "Coming out here and being around guys that work so hard, it just brings out the best in you. It's something I look forward to."
by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com
"Every time I step on the field now it's with purpose and with extra vigor that I never really had," Catapano said. "It feels great. I feel better than ever."
Catapano played in 15 games during his rookie season in 2013 and he totaled four tackles and one sack. He said he's ready to surpass that in 2015.
"I'm ready to show that I offer a lot to this team. I'm ready to step up in big situations and starting situations," Catapano said. "I just want to keep getting better every day… and play to the best of my abilities."
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
"One thing a lot of people don't realize is when you're playing on a one-year deal, there's a lot of things going through your head," Sanders said. "As much as you guys want to say, 'Don't think about it,' of course it's going to cross your mind because you're talking about a lot of money at stake. When you're playing these one-year deals, it's a lot of stress on you. No matter how much you don't want it to be, it's going to happen. We're all human."
Manning would like to have Thomas in workouts but understands the business aspects of his decision.
"I keep up with Demaryius. He's my buddy," Manning said. "They got that business side of it to work out, but he's been a great teammate to me, been a great friend to me since I've been here in Denver, so I keep up with him. Obviously want him to get back here as soon as possible, but we want what's best for him, and he certainly deserves what's best for him."
Thomas has started 16 games for three straight season, topping 90 receptions, 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns in each.

New Jag XF diesel vs BMW and Audi
At last, the Jaguar XF is available with a four-pot diesel. But how does it match up to its rivals?
Posted: 23 Aug 2011
So now we come to the question of how you like your executive saloon. At this stage, we can rule out the Audi A6. It still lives in the 5-Series's shadow: improved, but without a genuine USP to its name. The 5-Series feels like a game-changer, halfway to being a luxury car, as refined and insulating as a 7-Series and not far off the same size. It's a directional shift I'm not entirely happy about, but one that ought to concern Jaguar - this is a BMW that steps on the toes of Jaguar's normal remit.

We're throwing a party: Whaleoil's "Decade of Dirt"
(They say "Dirty Politics" like it's a bad thing!)
As you may have gathered, Wednesday June 10th marks our tenth birthday. Cameron Slater will have been blogging for ten years on that very day.
It's a celebration. Love him or hate him, you can't ignore him. John Key is the latest to give it go, and I can assure you it won't help him at all.
So much has happened over the last ten years. What on earth should we do to celebrate this
millstone milestone?
So we sat down, and had a think. And we thought: politicians come and go, and we praise them and rip them apart. But if there has been once constant pain in the butt through the last ten years who loathes Whaleoil as much as we loathe him, it has to be Winston Peters.
So we decided to ask him to MC our Decade of Dirt event for us. And guess what he said?

Some say outspoken Google detractor Scott Cleland aims to discredit Google in the net neutrality debate.
Most of the witnesses at last month's Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Google's acquisition of DoubleClick were the types to be expected. On the pro side, Google's counsel and a free-market think tank guy. On the con side, Microsoft's counsel and a concerned privacy advocate. Then there was the outspoken Google detractor who happens to lead an organization funded by other Google detractors from the telecommunications industry.
How and why this critic was invited to testify has been fodder for speculation since the hearing, as have future plans of the Congress in investigating the proposed deal.
Scott Cleland, referred to across the Web by his opponents as a paid shill for the telcos, has a history of giving testimony at hearings on such seemingly disconnected topics as Enron, video competition, and the 1996 Telecom Act. The thread stitching together those topics and the Google deal, of course, is antitrust.
"I have been doing this for 15 years and really focused a lot on antitrust after the telecom act," he told ClickZ News. "I understand basic economics and understand the dynamics of industry."
Still, some wonder where Cleland's allegiances truly lie. As the chairman of NetCompetition.org, a group whose members include AT&T, Comcast, the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, and Verizon Wireless, Cleland has served as a mouth- and blog-piece for the telecom industry in its efforts to stifle the net neutrality movement. Google, a thorn in the side of the telcos in recent battles over wireless spectrum, has been a regular target of Cleland's blog postings.
Because of his clear connections to powerful rivals of the increasingly-powerful Google, some question his interest in Google's proposed acquisition or his ability to honestly assess its impact. They suggest his goal is simply to discredit Google in the broader broadband arena.
Officially, Cleland is president of tech industry research and consulting firm Precursor, and even refers to himself as "The Precursor," noting, "I anticipate well." Hence the superhero-like moniker.
Cleland, who also calls himself a "techcom analyst," sees the Google and DoubleClick merger as symbolic of a greater confluence of technology and communications. "Why would I not think the Google/DoubleClick merger would be significant to work on?"
Indeed, he's devoted what must be several hours to pondering the deal. In addition to a steady stream of blog posts on the subject, he's penned more than one paper about it, including "Googleopoly: The Google-DoubleClick Anti-Competitive Case." That one has its own dedicated Web site; there visitors are confronted with the imposing image of a tarantula, its beady red eyes bespectacled by the double-O's in "Googleopoly."
Cleland said he e-mailed one of his reports on the deal to "a ton of people" with antitrust-related affiliations, including Members of the U.S. House, Senate, Justice Department, and Federal Trade Commission, as well as people at industry groups, in the investment industry, and in the media.
He insisted he's not just out to get Google. "I can be tough on all sorts of folks," he said, alluding to the open letter to Microsoft honchos Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer he published on his Precursor Blog.
"No company has more to lose from a preemptive and activist regulatory approach like Net Neutrality than Microsoft," he wrote in his cautionary missive against "Microsoft's pro-regulation strategy in Washington."
Considering his anti-net neutrality message and the non-threatening approach it takes to warning Microsoft, a vocal foe of Google's DoubleClick buy, the letter might not come off as particularly tough on Microsoft.
Chairmen and ranking members of congressional committees and their staffers typically determine who is allowed to testify at congressional hearings. The goal is to find people with differing opinions and knowledge of the issues at hand. Cleland's definite stance on the Google/DoubleClick deal, along with his history of giving testimony at industry-related hearings surely facilitated his invitation.
Whether the handful of Senators who participated at the hearing got anything out of it is debatable, but some say it wasn't necessarily intended to serve as an interactive industry primer in the first place. "No substantive value is gained in these things," said a longtime industry insider. "The Senators want to rattle the saber," suggested the source, adding, "They're also saying to the industry and the FTC, 'We're watching you.' "
If they decide to rattle those sabers some more, a meeting at a full committee level may be the way they do it. There's also talk of additional hearings being held by the House, which might be perceived as more influential than the Senate subcommittee hearing, in part because there are so many more Members in House subcommittees.

The Bankers' New Clothes: What's Wrong with Banking and What to Do about It
This book is next up in my queue. It looks to be a primer on why big, highly leveraged banks are bad for the economy.
The reviews are outstanding; full chapter 9 after the jump. The book's site is here; Amazon page here.
More than four years after the financial meltdown devastated the economy, our banking system remains resistant to reform and riddled with risk. The Bankers' New Clothes challenges us to question the status quo and to think anew about the transformative changes in banking that are needed to serve the public interest. This work should spur a long-overdue debate on real banking reform."
-Phil Angelides, chairman of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
The Bankers' New Clothes underscores that there is perhaps no reform more important and central to a stable financial system than capping the ability of financial institutions to take excessive risks using other people's money.
-Sheila C. Bair, former chair of FDIC and author of Bull by the Horns
The Bankers' New Clothes accomplishes the near impossible by translating the arcane world of banking regulation into plain English. In doing so, it exposes as false the self-serving arguments against meaningful financial reform advanced by Wall Street executives and the captured politicians who serve their interests. This revelatory must-read shreds bankers' scare tactics while offering commonsense reforms that would protect the general public from unending cycles of boom, bust, and bailout.
-Neil Barofsky, author of Bailout
Bankers have sold us a story that their risky practices are the necessary cost of a dynamic system. Admati and Hellwig expose this as a misguided and dangerous lie, and show how banks can be made more stable–if less profitable for the bankers themselves–without sacrificing economic growth. This brilliant book demystifies banking for everyone and explains what is really going on. Investors, policymakers, and all citizens owe it to themselves to listen.
-Simon Johnson, coauthor of 13 Bankers
A clearheaded antidote to the ill-advised snap reactions to the financial crisis, The Bankers' New Clothes carefully counteracts arguments that the banking system is now more secure. With direct and rigorous analysis, Admati and Hellwig lay bare the ongoing misinformation about modern banks, and show what remains wrong with banking. This book is the voice shouting that the bankers are still not wearing any clothes. We should listen.
-Frank Partnoy, author of Infectious Greed
I like this book. The Bankers' New Clothes explains in plain language why banking reform is still incomplete, contrary to what lobbyists, politicians, and even some regulators tell us.
-Paul Volcker, former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the U.S. Economic Recovery Advisory Board

"It's a false paradox. The peer group is based on the theory of transferability of talent. But we found that C.E.O. skills are very firm-specific.

How to download and install the latest Windows 8.1 Update for free (updated) April 7, 2015 at 4:00 pm
If you want to download Windows 8.1 Update 1 for free, ahead of its official launch on April 8, you're in luck! Just follow these simple instructions…
Microsoft can't make up its mind, rebrands Universal applications as Windows apps March 27, 2015 at 1:45 pm
Microsoft has decided that new applications developed for its Windows 10 platform will be known as "Windows 10 apps," while old software built for desktops and laptops will be "Windows desktop applications." We pine for Metro branding.
Microsoft launches Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 March 18, 2015 at 3:38 pm
Microsoft has launched Build 10041, the first Technical Preview update for Windows 10 since January, and it's a pretty decent one.
New build of Windows 10 shows Cortana, unified app store, ability to buy Xbox One games on PC December 15, 2014 at 9:31 am
An upcoming version of the Windows 10 Technical Preview has leaked, and it has some really, really big changes. Most notably, it looks like the original Control Panel might be going away, replaced by the new Metro-style PC Settings app — and, somewhat oddly, it looks like you'll be able to buy Xbox One apps from the Windows 10 app store. There are also lots of changes to the UI, and a general downplaying of Metro. All in all, Windows 10 is looking very nice indeed.
Windows 10 full unveil set for January 21, will showcase new unified mobile version December 12, 2014 at 11:15 am
Microsoft's preview event for Windows 10 is coming in late January and the company is expected to unveil a host of changes to both mobile and desktop environments. Will fixing the sins of Windows 8 be enough to tempt buyers?
With Windows 10, Microsoft could move to a subscription-based model December 9, 2014 at 11:40 am
Microsoft has indicated that Windows 10, which will be released next year, could move towards a subscription-based model. Instead of going the usual route and buying a perpetual Windows 10 license for $50 to $200, you would instead pay a few dollars per month — and then, as with most subscriptions, you'd get free upgrades when major new versions of Windows come along. Another option might be that you get a basic version of Windows 10 for free, but a subscription would unlock more advanced features.
Windows 10 is great – but it won't stop the PC from dying and taking Microsoft with it November 4, 2014 at 12:16 pm
Windows 10 is a lost cause; even in a best-case scenario where Microsoft delivers the finest desktop OS to ever grace humankind, there's no getting around the found that Windows 10 is an attempt to revivify a slowly dying beast.
Windows 10 will come with a command line package manager, much to the lament of Linux users October 27, 2014 at 2:03 pm
Sorry, penguin lovers — if you thought that 2015, in the heinous wake of Windows 8, would finally be the year of desktop Linux, you were sadly mistaken. Windows 10 will actually come with a package manager. Yes, in Windows 10 you can open up a command line shell and install VLC or Firefox or thousands of other packages by typing in a single command.
Windows 10: The biggest problems, gripes, and missing features so far October 14, 2014 at 1:43 pm
Two weeks in, and already 1 million people have joined the Windows Insider Program to try out the Windows 10 Technical Preview. A surprisingly large number of those users are actually using Windows 10 on a PC, too, with only 36% of installations occurring inside a virtual machine. But not all of those users are happy with Windows 10. Let's take a look at the most popular complaints and gripes.
Windows 10: The best hidden features, tips, and tricks October 7, 2014 at 1:54 pm
After using Windows 10 for almost a week, I've discovered some neat little changes and features that Microsoft hasn't yet discussed — smart tweaks that, if you're a mouse-and-keyboard user looking for a reason to upgrade from Windows 7, you will be very pleased with. Let's dive straight in with my favorite secret/hidden features of Windows 10.

AMES Iowa State point guard Nikki Moody heard about her first career double-double from a reporter.
Teammate Hallie Christofferson then nudged her, as if to say, "Welcome to the club."
The No. 24 Cyclones from the starting five to the end of the bench stuffed the stat sheet Tuesday against Drake, rolling to a 87-45 win before 10,243 fans at Hilton Coliseum.
"I didn't even know that," said Moody, who scored 15 points while doling out 10 assists in 24 minutes. "Mostly I just give credit to my teammates."
Why not?
The mostly Moody-led offense flowed for nearly 40 minutes and the defense shined when it mattered most holding the rebuilding Bulldogs to 16 percent shooting en route to a 51-13 halftime lead.
"We really couldn't play any better," ISU coach Bill Fennelly said.
ISU (5-0) exhibited a killer instinct in the first half, unshackling itself from an early 5-5 tie with a 45-6 flourish that spanned more than 17 minutes.
"The way it happened is we played great on one end and then even better on the other end," Fennelly said. "It went pretty quickly."
Christofferson led the dominant charge, nearly posting a double-double (15 points, eight rebounds) in the first 20 half alone.
She hit both of her first-half 3-point attempts while draining 7-of-8 from the free throw line and finished with 20 points and 10 boards.
"From the last eight minutes of the Illinois (win), she just kept going from there," Fennelly said. "To get 20 and 10 in 24 minutes, that's pretty impressive. You've got to be good and you've got to be playing hard to do that. ... Hallie's a kid that's going to change our team dramatically."
As much on defense as on the scoreboard.
Drake's leading offensive threat, Kyndal Clark, didn't score a basket and Stephanie Running who notched 18 points for the Bulldogs in a much closer game last season totaled two points.
"We really followed the scouting report," Christofferson said. "Coaches did a really nice job telling is where to be and how to take their strengths away. We played to the scouting report."
Post Anna Prins chipped in 17 points for the Cyclones, who played without leading rebounder Chelsea Poppens, who missed her second straight game because of a concussion.
"Our goal is to have her back (next week), but there's no way of knowing," Fennelly said.
Her presence was felt even as she wore street clothes, bound to the bench.
"I could hear her," Christofferson said.
Next up for the Cyclones: Eight days free of games, then a Dec. 6 Cy-Hawk Series matchup at Iowa.
And work.
Lots and lots of work.
"We're just going to get in the gym and shoot some more," Christofferson said. "Hopefully keep things rolling."

Jason Mraz, making his contribution to happiness
"If my music can contribute to happiness, then that's my main responsibility. I write those types of things for my own joy. It's my own therapy. If I didn't write (songs) I'd probably be insanely depressed, probably overweight, and who knows where I'd be? A mental institution?
" ... I make music out of a happy moment, a hardship I've overcome, a lesson I've learned, a love story I got to live. So, for me, it's just a chronicle of my life and putting reason to the voices in my head."
Mraz was 13 when he began writing in his hometown of Mechanicsville, a sprawling Virginia suburb of Richmond.
But it wasn't until he was in his late teens that he "started to infuse those lyrics with music and melody," the better to "make a special souvenir of a time in your life." His move to become a singer-songwriter came following a brief stint at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York.
He discovered he had a knack for spontaneously creating songs on the spot, often spurred on by a random phrase or word someone would suggest. The favorable response Mraz got, and the immediacy with which it came, served as a creative epiphany for him. It also provided the impetus to drop out, the better to follow his muse anywhere it took him.
"I kissed college goodbye," he recalled. "I was in musical theater school, and said: 'I have no need for this.' I didn't want to stand up in a line every day, and say 'My name is Jason,' and sing a song someone else wrote – and then go be a waiter (at night). I had a better plan: To go write my own songs. It wasn't even about making money. My dad always said: 'Do what you love to do, and that's it. It won't feel like a job.' "
Mraz returned to Mechanicsville to hone his singing and songwriting chops. He supported himself through various odd jobs, including as a custodian at a Christian elementary school, where he and his sax-playing brother, Chris, recorded their versions of songs by Bob Dylan and Dave Matthews.
"I don't think of myself as special in any way, because I'm one job from being a janitor (again)," said Mraz, who has been featured on albums by Mandy Moore, "American Idol's" Randy Jackson, Raul Midon and San Diego singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman.
"I named my company Mraz Discount Janitorial Supplies. It's on my credit card, too. So, when I check into hotels, they say 'What are you doing here?''Oh, I'm in town for a convention.' People always need their floors waxed."
Mraz moved here in 1999, shortly after former San Diego concert promoter Bill Silva discovered him during an impromptu Las Vegas performance. This led to the Los Angeles-based Silva becoming his manager and lots of gigs at Java Joe's in Ocean Beach – and a contract with Elektra Records.
His 2002 debut album, "Waiting For My Rocket to Come," yielded the hit single "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)," which was inspired by a friend's battle with bone cancer. Mraz's listener-friendly blend of folk, rock, hip-hop and jazzy scat singing has only grown more popular since then. His sleek vocal delivery at times suggests the work of former San Diego singer-songwriter Michael Franks (who, Mraz said, "is probably my idol").
Mraz isn't holding his breath about winning a Grammy next Sunday. But should he be presented with one of the coveted awards, he knows just where to put it – in the bathroom of his recording studio.
"That seems to be the one spot where all of (my) sales awards seem to be stored," said Mraz, whose bathroom contains an array of gold records, including one for "I'm Yours."
"I do think (awards) are fun to share. But I certainly wouldn't hang them anywhere else in my house. They are not that fun."

No trackpad gestures. No two-finger scrolling, no right-clicking. Just dragging and tapping. This makes navigating Windows 8 (and everything in it) laborious and full of suck—the opposite of what it is when working properly. I tried installing some custom drivers I found online and it cranked up my CPU usage so high I thought Mayor Bloomberg was going to declare a state of emergency.
Until Apple releases Boot Camp drivers for Windows 8, you'll need an external mouse for right-clicking. When the touch aspects of Windows 8 are taken into account, what is needed to make good use of Microsoft's operating system is a track pad that recognises multi-fingered swipes and gestures. You're not going to find that at this moment with Apple hardware. Another issue is that Windows can only engage the MacBook's Nvidia graphics card, not the on-board Intel chipset that OS X will use to extend battery life.

Passionate, physical Nene helps Wizards advance
WASHINGTON (AP) — Last week, on a day off during their first-round playoff series, Nene and John Wall relaxed in the cold tub at the Verizon Center and chatted about the journey that brought the Washington Wizards back from obscurity.
"How we came and how we started," the 31-year-old Brazilian said. "And where we are right now."
There's more time for such conversations now, and there's definitely more to talk about. The Wizards not only have finished off the Chicago Bulls in five games — giving the franchise its first playoff series win in nine years — but they also have at least a three-day layoff before the start of Round 2.
Nene, who always seems to be recovering from one injury or another, couldn't ask for anything more. Some of his most important time during the wait will be the 15 minutes per day he spends in the cold tub soaking those sore muscles.
"That's my best friend right now," he said.
The Wizards will face either the Atlanta Hawks or Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and both matchups look inviting. The eighth-seeded Hawks finished the regular season six games under .500, and the Pacers are a stunningly vulnerable No. 1 seed that has become of shell of itself over the last month.
The Wizards will need to win only one game in the series to match their number of second-round victories from the last 35 years, but such dubious history, so far at least, hasn't been a drag on this group.
"We believe in this," center Marcin Gortat said after Tuesday night's clinching win over the Bulls. "If we play hard, if we're really physical, we can beat everybody. We've proved that."
And it will be easier if Nene is hitting on all cylinders. Last week, the veteran forward was called the team's "X-factor" — perhaps an unusual moniker for someone making $13 million per year. Nene, who was born Maybyner Rodney Hilario, responded that he has "a lot of nicknames now" and that his favorite is "Big Moose."
Whatever he's called, Nene has a leadership, grit and all-around game that have become essential to the Wizards. Another of the many ways to measure the impact: When projected over 48 minutes, his plus-minus of 3.6 is better than that of Wall, Bradley Beal or Trevor Ariza.
But, of course, Nene isn't going to play 48 minutes. Left foot. Right knee. Left calf. Right Achilles. Right foot. Left knee. Those are, in chronological order, the body parts that have had significant injuries since he arrived via trade in March 2012. A sprained MCL in his left knee sidelined him for 22 games late in the regular season, and it was far from certain that his glued-together body would be able to stand much of a workload against the Bulls.
He put such doubts to rest in a hurry. He averaged 36 minutes in four games, missing one not because of injury but for a suspension after an altercation with Jimmy Butler in Game 3.

Our weekly roundup of the new movies opening this weekend in Philadelphia. This week, only two: Ashgar Farhadi's The Past and Gimme Shelter starring Vanessa Hudgens and Rosario Dawson.
THE PAST: If you're going to see a new movie this weekend make it Ashgar Farhadi's follow-up to 2012's critically acclaimed A Separation. From Indiewire: "After four years apart, Ahmad returns to his wife Marie in Paris in order to progress their divorce. During his brief stay, he cannot help noticing the strained relationship between Marie and her daughter Lucie. As he attempts to improve matters between mother and daughter Ahmad unwittingly lifts the lid on a long buried secret." Indiewire gives it an A-, as does Philadelphia City Paper, and it gets a 96-percent critic review on Rotten Tomatoes. Our summation? Go see it, but you could wait till it comes on DVD. (Ritz Five)
Starring: Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim, Ali Mosaffa, Pauline Burlet, Elyes Aguis, Jeanne Jestin, Sabrina Ouazani, Babak Karmi, Valeria Cavalli
Director: Asghar Farhadi

Volvo S80 Problems
Front upper strut mounts may wear prematurely, resulting in loud noise from the front of the vehicle when going over bumps.
Many complaints have been reported regarding Volvo S80 transmission shifting issues. Long shift times between gear shifts, hard shifting, hard downshifting and a loss of transmission operation all together to name a few.
If the issue is minor, a transmission software update may address this issue so if available, the software should be updated before any repairs are made. After a software update or repair, the shift adaptation needs to be reset. A good quality Volvo repair shop will know how to perform this task.
There are several technical service bulletins (TSB's) available from Volvo that address these shifting issues and they should be consulted by the repair shop during the automatic transmission diagnostic process.
Regular servicing of the transmission fluid can help with preventing transmission failure, but not in all cases. Follow the suggested fluid replacement interval recommended by Volvo. You will find this in your owners manual, or find it here: http://bit.ly/Volvo_Owners_Manuals
The front control arm bushings wear out, resulting in alignment issues and squeaking and/or knocking noises from the front end. Worn bushings will require replacement.
Volvo S80 Questions
I test drove a 2006 S80 2.5t and while accelerating from a red light, the engine dropped from around 3k rpm to almost nothing. It came back up quickly, but I'm leery about buying this car. The dealership said it was caused by an issue with the electrical cooling fan, but they didn't give ...
I was involved in a wreck which busted my oil pan. They said that was replaced but the car is still leaking oil and When I was driving down the interstate I noticed that when I pushed down harder on the gas pedal, smoke just poured out the tailpipe. What is that?
Volvo S80 Recalls
A software error within the Central Electronic Module (CEM) will result in the "TPMS Service Required" message appearing after approximately 15 minutes of accumulated driving over 25 mph. The error will prevent the TPMS from warning the driver that a tire needs air. Underinflated tires can result in tire overloading and overheating, which could lead to a blowout and possible crash. Dealers will reprogram the CEM to correct this concern. The Volvo recall number is 256.
A computer software error may prevent the transmission from downshifting, such as shifting from fifth to fourth gear when coasting. This can result in decreased engine RPMs and possible engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will upgrade the software to the transmission control module to correct this concern. The Volvo recall number is 255.
The wire harness under the front seats may not have been secured properly to the seat frame. As a result, when the seats are moved to adjust the seating position, the wire harness may be pulled, causing it to disconnect. In the event of a crash, the front and/or side impact airbags may deploy improperly or not at all, increasing the risk of personal injury. Also, the lap belt pretensioner may not deploy. Dealers will inspect and secure the affected harness as necessary to correct this concern. The Volvo recall number is 250.
Volvo S80 Reviews
very nice car I purchased it two yrs. ago at 145,000 miles but recently been having transmission shifting issues. the car seems to not want to shift to second gear rpm just goes up but no acceleration. I had the tranny flushed and filter changed but it still slips. I took it to a transmission shop but they couldn't diagnose the problem because it's intermittent. It slips on the way to the shop ...
Purchased a 2000 Volvo S80 used from a friend of a friend. Sharp-looking car with a generally smooth and comfortable ride. Thanks to meticulous maintenance by the previous owner and myself, the car runs relatively well.

Replaced Tranny under warranty at around 80k miles; when warranty expried at 100k, so did the engine at 112k, and the car had been maintained at each service interval with Volvo dealership. $5K later and engine replaced (used), having an issue with battery, will not hold a charge, on my second new battery.

Mark Castator
Mark Castator is drawn to the contemplative. His sculptures are heavily influenced by drawing, and abstract expressionism: movement and spontaneity. Each piece of metal is a line building to the larger sculpture. There is a repetitiveness and quickness of the gesture contributing to the overall movement of the work. He wants the eye to constantly move around the object. This "busyness" of the eye, in turn, engages the brain, producing a more contemplative state of mind.

I need some support, to vent. I am feeling really infuriated by what occurred to today, and I think you ladies will understand.
My older son is in Head Start and I have been volunteering with him several times a week. I have had some serious doubts about putting him in head start. I am not a fan of public schools, and am considering homeschooling/unschooling my sons eventually, however Kai was asking for friends every day, so I thought we would try it out. He has been having a somewhat hard time with the separation and I haven't been a fan of the teachers too much. But that is another story...what I did like is that they let me come and volunteer with Atlas, my 13mo whenever I wanted. I nurse him occasionally on demand there. I was told in the beginning of the year that this was fine, but just do it not at the table during snack time. I followed this request.
Today I was told by my son's teacher that breastfeeding would no longer be allowed in the classroom. They offered the breakroom or the bathroom. They said that any new mom or nursing mom would breastfeed in there, that this was being told to all the new moms. I told her that it is a legally protected right to breastfeed in public. She said that because head start is to prepare kids for public school, and that public schools do not allow breastfeeding, they have to go along with it. I asked if it was policy, and she said that it just is to make other volunteers and staff feel comfortable. She did a fine linguistic dance around "policy".
I am really shocked that they would do this, and I told her so. I told her it is so important for people to witness normal, healthy breastfeeding relationships. That it's good for kids to see. I asked her, "Would you make a bottle feeding mom go to the bathroom to feed her baby?" and she said no. I told her that the peninsula needs more young mothers to breastfeed, that it would go allong with the Head Start philosophy of giving kids a good start nutritionally. I said that making another barrier to young moms who want to breastfeed by implying it's dirty and must be hidden is not going to encourage the breastfeeding relationship. I went on and on. There was more to the conversation, but that gives you an idea. She just kept repeating that its about other parents and the staff being comfortable. She detailed one day that a teacher from the other classroom saw my breast "nipple and everything just hanging out there"!!! I said, that there is more explicit stuff on prime time tv (I don't have TV but I am guessing, and I have heard ) and that it's not my problem, it is theirs.
I said that I wanted to speak to her supervisor, however her supervisor I guess isn't going to be there for weeks. She said I could have a conference call with her supervisors supervisor. I said I want to, and I will. And I will get this in writing.
I think that Head Start is considered public space, and according to the law in Washington State it is discrimination to not allow a woman to breastfeed in a public space. I would really appreciate your advice on this, as I feel badly for myself as well as other mom's. I feel that there should be as few barriers to women breastfeeding their children as possible and am dismayed and humiliated.
What I really want to do is have a nurse in. Anyone interested?
I am really upset, because this is just the icing on the mad cake I have been baking about Head Start. There are a lot of things I like, but I really don't like this teacher, and I don't like the constant monitoring and government oversight.
What is shocking about it all is this woman has a three month old she breastfeeds! She pumps when she is at work. I just don't get it.
I think I am going to start a discrimination case about it. It's appalling. Does anyone have any good ideas for a direction to go in or have experience with this? I am in Washington State.
This is nonsense.
Head Start Regs:
§ 1304.40 (c)(3):Family partnerships.
(c) Services to pregnant women who are enrolled in programs serving pregnant women, infants, and toddlers.
(3) Grantee and delegate agencies must provide information on the benefits of breast feeding to all pregnant and nursing mothers. For those who choose to breast feed in center-based programs, arrangements must be provided as necessary.

Technically, these regs apply to Early HS programs, but if I were you, I'd get in touch with the ECLKC (Head Start's Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center)--http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc. They should be able to tell you who to pursue your complaint with at HS (the supervisor, or perhaps someone at a higher level than her).
Good luck!
At worst, the "policy" should apply to all infant feeding and not discriminate against breastfeeding babes. If they are going to allow mothers with babes then they should understand that they have to eat, breastfed babes eat on demand, and it makes anyone uncomfortable to be excluded.

Ooh, that's good.
Well I am not sure where they get nursing doesn't happen at school?? I nursed my lo several times at the school while i was there for various functions nobody has ever batted an eye. My daughters sp'ed did offer me the use of the teachers break room once but only because the gym was packed with art fair pictures and there was nowhere to sit without getting run over by someone
"For those who choose to breast feed in center-based programs, arrangements must be provided as necessary."
Hmmm. Not sure if they are illegal in this regulation, because the law states they can't ask me to leave anywhere.
So that's a federal regulation--but if your state law is stronger, then that also applies. I.e. they don't cancel each other out; one supports the other.
But given that you have a choice here of making a complaint to WA state OR going to the feds who control the purse-strings at HS, if I were you, I'd go to the feds. (Or you could do both, of course.) If you make a complaint at the state level, they might throw the book at your one center. If you ask for help from the feds, (i) you let the folks in DC know that HS centers are in need of education about bfing and (ii) you potentially impact ALL the HS centers nationwide, not just the one in your state. Also? If you go complain to the funding agency, they will. get. scared. Just sayin'
Thank you thank you for the direction. I will do so. I want to know how to make the most impact.
Follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
I talked to our regional supervisor yesterday, and she backed up what the teacher said. She basically said because people had been complaining it was being implemented. She basically told me I have strong feelings about this, and that's understandable, but this is their policy. She said I can file a grievance, and I said sure please send me information regarding that and she said "I don't have my finger right on it, I will get back to you" umm sure you will. She claims she breastfed for 2 1/2 years 24 years ago, so she knows how I feel. Oookaaayyy...
I said that it is their role to educate those who don't feel comfortable with breastfeeding moms in how important it is and how it's protected by law. She replied "it's not going to change people's minds if we hit them over the head with it, we need to make it so they are able to hear it". That's well and good, but wrong, because it's discrimination. We don't say to racists or bigots, we will accommodate your uncomfortableness because otherwise you won't change.
I asked her "If you had someone who couldn't eat properly, a volunteering parent who was missing part of their jaw, and it was making other parents uncomfortable, would you make the disabled person leave?" She said "We would suggest the person who was uncomfortable leave" She realized her hippocracy in that moment, but backtracked and said that "the situation was different, we are accommodating you".
I also got it in writing from the teacher:
"Our meeting on Wednesday, was to go over the new changing table that will be arriving anytime for placement in the last bathroom, volunteering hands free in the classroom, being able to move around the room and work with children and with siblings in the classroom being able to keep them with in eye sight at all times per our siblings in the classroom guidance. Lastly, that as a center we realized that we have many new moms and moms who are beastfeeding, and that our center has not accomataded for these parents.
As a center, staff came together and have made two areas available so that moms can have a quiet calm place to nurse their children and then changed them as needed that is not on the cold bathroom floor in the classroom bathroom. The areas in the center which are permitted to breastfeed will be in the conference room, and in the last bathroom.
Our office staff had made signs to post for when a mom is feeding a young child in these rooms." Emphasis mine, spelling errors hers.
So pretty clear. And pretty wrong. I called the Human Rights Commission and they got back to me, I am playing phone tag.
I am going to the federal level as well, as this seems systemic not just my own Head Start. I can't get over how nuts this is.
Just talked to the Office for Civil Rights and they said that it would be best to pursue it at the state level. I felt pretty brushed off, that they didn't really count it as discrimination, which seems odd because it is a state law, and they are federally funded.
Will you be going back? If you do, I would bring with me a copy of the law and just nurse my LO whenever/wherever and show it to them every time they say something, and to the police if they involve the authorities.
- E . Single mom to DS E (15.12.05), T (reincarnated 18.04.08) and DD A (11.02.11) and Hoppy
I would be curious to hear how this goes. This is a new law and I always like to see how well states enforce them.
Follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
Good grief. Have you tried talking to other parents who might support your cause? Maybe if other Mom's complain too, along with whatever legal action you can take, it will push them in the right direction.
I'm new to the lactivism forum, but what if you just disregarded them and breastfed where you wanted? What would they realistically do? I realize there is value in filing a complaint/civil rights action. Just wonderin'.
"So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." - Jack Layton
I'm all for helping to organize a nurse-in if you think that would help. (I'm a live just a few minutes away from Olympia and I'm nursing 2-year old twins.)
I think I'd keep a few copies of this on hand (THE WASHINGTON STATE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION And THE BREASTFEEDING ...), hand one to your HS person and then file a complaint with the WSHRC. You are clearly in the right and she/they are clearly in violation of the law. I'd also print out copies of the cards with the law for HS to distribute to complainers.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Purge: Anarchy' Can't Wipe Out 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'
Despite three very different new challengers, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' continued to rule over the box office this weekend. This doesn't spell disaster for the newcomers, but it does spell further success for the sequel to 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' which is riding extremely positive word of mouth to a big box office tally.
Marvel's Thor is Now a Woman
In news that will probably baffle comic book fans and normal people alike, it was revealed that Thor (yes, the Avenger) is no longer worthy of his title and will be replaced by a woman.
Yes, you are allowed to unleash a collective "What?!" right about now.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Conquers All
Riding a huge wave of strong reviews and even stronger buzz, 'Dawn of the Planet Apes' opened big for a non-superhero, non-Transformers movie, leading a top 10 that's full of just as many hits as misses. How about we just start at the top and work our way through?
'Alien: Isolation DLC' Reuniting Sigourney Weaver, Original 'Alien' Cast
We were already intrigued by the Alien: Isolation video game back when it was just a story taking placing between Ridley Scott's 'Alien' and James Cameron's 'Aliens.' But now it's gone from having our curiosity t
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' Tops 'Tammy'
Major holiday weekends are often huge for the box office, with millions of Americans taking advantage of their extra time off to head out to the movies. But this fourth of July weekend?
Not so much.
Despite three new releases, it was a surprisingly quiet time at the movies these past few days and it's hard to imagine anyone being particularly overjoyed with these numbers.
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Casts Carrie Fisher's Daughter as a Young Princess Leia
We knew that 'Star Wars: Episode 7' was going to be a little nostalgia-heavy with the return of the original trilogy's stars to the franchise, but it turns out that it goes even deeper than that. A new report claims that the new film will not only feature flashbacks to th
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' Rocks
Look, everyone knows that it's your obligation as a human being to go see a new 'Transfomrers' movie when it comes out whether you want to or not. It's the only explanation for the success of the past three films (since no one actually likes them) and it's the only explanation for the massive first weekend of 'Transformers: Age of Extinction,' which had the biggest opening of 2014 so far.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Think Like a Man Too' Schools 'Jersey Boys'
Unless your movie was named 'Jersey Boys,' this was a pretty excellent weekend at the box office for all parties involved. A new film opened big in the number one spot, last week's champions held on strong, and others continued to perform well further down the charts. But boy, it really kinda' sucks to be 'Jersey Boys.'
'Star Wars: Episode 7:' Harrison Ford Sidelined for Two Months by Ankle Injury
Last week, the internet couldn't stop talking about Harrison Ford's 'Star Wars: Episode 7' injury. Oh, the jokes! Oh, the memes! There's a certain amount of comedy to be found in an elderly Han Solo injuring his ankle thanks to the door of the Millennium Falcon. But now is the time to quit with the laughter: Ford's injury, while certainly not life-threatening, is bad enough that he won't be able to return to the set for eight weeks.
Weekend Box Office Report: '22 Jump Street' Schools 'How to Train Your Dragon 2′
Everyone expected '22 Jump Street' and 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' to open well, but you won't find many people who expected the raunchy R-rated comedy to open bigger than the family friendly animated adventure. But here we are! Both films opened well, but '22 Jump Street,' like the first film, is has taken a hammer to all expectations.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Fault in Our Stars' Cruises Past 'Maleficient' and 'Edge of Tomorrow'
Ah, the summer. The time of the year where the box office is ruled by superhero movies, science fiction extravaganzas and, uh, slightly quirky cancer weepies. What? For reasons that will baffle some people, 'The Fault in Our Stars' effortlessly took the number one spot at the box office this weekend, gliding past its bigger, more expensive and more ferocious competition and making it look easy.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Maleficent' Casts Spell at the Movies
We're knee-deep in the summer movie season and the hits just keep on coming. Despite mixed buzz, 'Maleficent' opened very strong, not coming close to the massive numbers of the past few weekends, but certainly holding its own. However, the success of Disney's latest live action effort meant that the weekend's other big release, Seth MacFarlane's 'A Million Ways to Die in the West,' fared less well.
