The convergence of the media is changing the practice of documentary filmmaking. The shift in content distribution that arises from this raises interesting questions about the way stories are told and how technology overall affects the delivery and impact of documentaries.
Through this blog-based documentary about Catholic Priest Fr. John Gavan Fitzpatrick, I aim to explore the extent to which embracing the affordances of technological convergence has the potential to improve documentary film production, increase audience engagement and sustain the relevance of documentary film in today's society.
Telling a story usually adapted to conventional formats such as novels and films in a blog, will help experiment with and determine the effectiveness documentary storytelling in online, converged environments.
A year ago I was approached by a good friend to write a special story. The thought of writing a novel at this stage of my life- with the passion but limited experience- was overwhelming and simply daunting. I just somehow felt that I was called to do so.
Fr. John Gavan Fitzpatrick is the true heart of this project. He has entrusted me with his story and it is only right for me to find a way to share it. With the slow and competitive process of book publishing, it became obvious that technology would help me get this up off the ground much more efficiently.
I believe in the significance of this project, not only for its personal sentiment but also because of its potential to experiment with documentary storytelling in online spaces, within the augmentation of media convergence in this digital age.
The Internet has moved beyond linear, conventional forms of storytelling, and it is the subsequent 'fragmentation' of the way information is distributed nowadays that needs to be addressed and reflected upon.
It is justified to say that storytelling will forever be relevant, it is simply the ever-changing ways in which stories are told that will define their continual impact and meaning in our lives.

Comment: Marriage is the gold standard for gay couples 44
10:26 AM — It's a common refrain of politicians (and some lobby groups) to say that while they are not against equal civil marriage, it is not clear how many gay people actually want it. Our poll - conducted over two days with almost 800 responses - shows otherwise. LGBT people demand marriage equality.

The Seal on the left was awarded to EarthCalm Electromagnetic Field (EMF) protection products following independent testing by the world renowned, International Institute for Research on Electromagnetic Compatibility (IIREC). This seal certifies the effectiveness of EarthCalm EMF protection devices.
EarthCalm EMF Protection products were proven in IIREC testing to harmonize disruptive electromagnetic fields (including geopathic) with the natural (bio-compatible) frequencies of the Earth. And, in doing so, to restore healthy functioning. According to the IREC, this action is "the healthiest means of EMF protection". Equally as impressive, EarthCalm protection was also seen to propel the body's healing energies for improved health. Details
Identifying a Problem
Jean Gallick, EarthCalm's founder and inventor, began research on the biological effects of EMFs, driven by the need to improve her own failing health. Based on her studies, Jean identified biologically incompatible EMFs, such as those produced by lighting, hydro lines, cell phones, etc., as a serious threat to human health.
The threat arises from the potential to degrade the immune system, impair brain and heart activity and undermine the body's healing abilities. This is because, biologically incompatible EMFs induce circulating currents in the body that:
1. constrict both the nervous system and energy pathways (acupuncture meridian system);
2. interfere with the body's own electromagnetic field;
3. interrupt cell and DNA functioning; and
4. impede the body's connection to the natural electromagnetic frequencies of the Earth's vibrational pulse– a connection science has deemed to be essential to optimal health.
The Solution
EarthCalm's EMF protection devices use the laws of nature (Quantum Physics) to powerfully immerse the body fully in the electromagnetic field of the Earth, which is by definition a natural electrical ground. The grounding provides the body with a healthy way to dissipate disruptive inducted currents. In addition to protecting against EMFs, using EarthCalm devices also re-establishes and strengthens the body's natural and health-dependent connection to the Earth's frequencies.
The connection propels the body's healing energies for improved health. EarthCalm's approach to EMF protection is, therefore, both protective of, and especially beneficial to, good health. Jean Gallick, EarthCalm's inventor, explains the grounding princiiples in the following interview.
Living Earth Technology
All EarthCalm devices provide everlasting protection from hazardous electromagnetic fields (EMFs), by the use of Jean Gallick's proprietary geometric circuits. The circuits work synergistically to ground the bio-energy field of human, animal and plant life, fully in the vibrational pulse of the Earth that resonates between the Earth's crust and the ionosphere (Schumann Resonances). One of the effects of the circuits is to naturally activate Scalar Resonance in the nervous system. This action exponentially deepens the grounding and amplifies the benefits. (EarthCalm was the first manufacturer in the industry to develop and incorporate scalar resonance technology.) Details
The "Healthiest Means of EMF Protection"
Science has shown when all of the natural frequencies of the Earth are received as nature intended, the body functions in a naturally healthy way. Further, that body processes becomes dysfunctional when the body's connection to the Earth's field is weakened. The body's natural dependence for all of the Earth's frequencies is not served by EMF protection devices which seek to protect by grounding the user to the Earth's crust, shielding against EMFs, blocking out EMFs, or with material that is activated or charged with bio-compatible frequency, (which often lose effectiveness without the user knowing). These protective devices deliver a single frequency or a fraction of the Earth's field, which is unnatural for the body. Some that block out all electromagnetic frequencies also block the Earth's frequencies.
EarthCalm Living Earth Technology provides users with an everlasting natural and highly effective return of the body to its birthright, in the embrace of the Earth's vibrational pulse, for the healthiest - the ultimate, in EMF protection.
EarthCalm Products are 100% maintenance-free, cost nothing to operate, function continuously and indefinitely.
A Quantum Physical Means of EMF Protection
EarthCalm products are renowned worldwide for their nature-driven, state-of the-art technology, powerful effects and ease-of-use by everyone including children, people with chronic conditions and those who identify as electrosensitive. EarthCalm is consistently developing beneficial technologies and innovative devices in response to new sources of EMF exposure and increasing levels of electropollution, both inside and outside the home.
EarthCalm makes it simple for everyone to live in harmony with everyday modern conveniences and enjoy protection against EMFs from household electricity, appliances, smart meters, cell phones, computers, Wi-Fi, wireless devices, cell towers, hydro lines etc...
The latest generation of products provides the deepest level in grounding technology; an important contribution in EarthCalm's vision to assist in self healing, thus supporting the fullest potential of human experience and awareness.

information about them is accessed. The elements of this review and the types of issues to be discussed during this review were detailed previously.
Amendment review: This occurs any time the researcher wants to change a procedure, consent process, or data collection form.
Adverse events or unexpected problems: A review should be done at the time any such events or problems occur.
Continuing review: Such a review is done at an interval specified by the IRB at initial review and is dependent on the risk level for the study (e.g., monthly or quarterly, but no less often than once per year).
Depending on the nature of an amendment or adverse event, and at the discretion of the IRB, it may be acceptable to use an expedited IRB review procedure for these types of reviews. Expedited reviews can be done by an IRB chair or experienced IRB member (rather than by the full committee), but they must include consultation with the prisoner representative. No research involving prisoner-subjects should be deemed exempt from IRB review. Even a low-risk questionnaire involving prisoner-subjects requires an IRB review.
There are other situations for which IRB review is required. A preliminary review can be conducted before funding has been obtained for the study. During this review, the IRB can assess at the most fundamental level whether prisoners can be ethically involved in the proposed research. If so, the adequacy of the protections are assessed and suggestions offered to the researcher about how to strengthen the protections. However, the preliminary review does not substitute for the initial review. No subjects can be contacted and no information can be accessed based on a preliminary IRB review. An IRB review is also needed when an investigator wants to use data for research purposes that was collected during an activity initially classified as treatment or QI (i.e., not research).
Although approval of research by the IRB or other independent review committee is a critical first step in protecting research subjects, it is not sufficient. Research involving prisoners, like other types of research, must be monitored throughout the course of the study to verify that study procedures are being conducted as approved and to detect adverse events or unexpected problems in a timely manner. Ongoing monitoring, then, is another key issue that must be considered in the new oversight requirements. The monitoring process may need to differ depending on the setting or type of study. For example, studies that take place in closed institutions that restrict subjects' access to investigators or advocates may require more proactive (inside the institution) monitoring than those that take place in

'High Shine' FormulaThis Review is based on the new collection of Maybelline's High Shine lip stick, not the original formula. Perhaps it is just this formula or maybe its just the lipstick I bought, but I found the product to be very drying. Maybe I had to high of expectations but, I found this product had no 'shine' but rather shimmer and loads of it. I imagined it would have at least a little shine to it, but this product fell flat of my expectations. Definitely not a re-buy for me. — 4 years, 1 month agoFarah.fmd | 16 reviews

Former MLS'er, US international, and KICKTV host Jimmy Conrad who did such great work at Euro 2012 and the recent Mexico-USA friendly at Azteca, goes on location to examine the Portland-Seattle rivalry, the Kicking + Screening Film Festival and more. First up, he goes one on one with Timbers owner and president Merritt Paulson.
More to come as KICKTV goes through the huge Cascadia Cup clash.
Timbers players Danny Mwanga and Jake Gleeson look to pitch in extra this week by helping run the check out lanes and bagging groceries at the Burlingame Fred Meyer tomorrow to benefit the Sports Buddies program of Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest.
On hand from 5:30-6:30pm on Sept. 13, Mwanga and Gleeson will bag any groceries that include Coca-Cola products. Five percent of all Coke products sold within that hour will go to benefit the Sports Buddies program with Fred Meyer and the Timbers matching the donation up to $1,000.
Another familiar face will also be on hand as former Timbers goalkeeper, current Alumni Ambassador, and Sports Buddies Program Coordinator Adin Brown will be in attendance as well.
Sports Buddies is a new, one-to-one mentorship program for at-risk youth with an emphasis on sports and Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest is one of the Timbers' Stand Together community pillar partners.
Stock up tomorrow. Burlingame Fred Meyer is at 7555 SW Barbur Blvd.
Saturday is a big day for the Portland Timbers: big rivalry, big sandwiches . . . Big-Ass Sandwiches, to be exact.
Big Ass-Sandwiches will be serving up the "best sandwich in the Northwest," according to The Travel Channel's Adam Richman during Saturday's match against Seattle (12:30pm PT, NBC, 750 AM The Game / La Pantera 940).
Taking over the Soccer City Grill concession stand on the east side of the stadium, Big-Ass Sandwiches will have their four original sandwiches available: a choice of roast beef, turkey or ham piled up with hand-cut fries, slathered in homemade bechamel cheddar fondue all in a Fleur De Lis ciabatta roll.
Big-Ass Sandwiches got its start after owners Brian and Lisa Wood went through a few layoffs in 2009. Instead of opening a restaurant, they tried their hand at popularizing their fries-on-sandwich technique, and the big-ass sandwich was born.
Brian and Lisa are also huge Timbers fans. "We have been going to games since the pre-MLS days. We have the 'No Pity in the Rose City' scarf hanging in the back of the cart and made shirts three or four years ago that said 'Timber Joey is My Homeboy' with part of the proceeds going to a local charity," said Lisa. "We're vocal about our love for the game and team and offer 107ist and Axe Society discounts, so we've seen a lot of the Timbers fans become regulars at the cart."
Big-Ass Sandwiches is the fourth food cart chosen by fans via Facebook to serve at the stadium through the Portland Timbers Food Cart Alliance (PTFCA).
"We're excited for the experience and love that we get to bring our crew along for the ride and feed a ton of people," said Lisa. "We love the team and the fans and if it goes well, maybe we can do it again!"
PTFCA is looking for new members. Applications for PTFCA will be accepted for the remainder of the season. Another fan vote for the remaining two home matches will run this week.
MLS released today, perhaps for the first time ever, the top 25 selling jerseys across the league. The Timbers are one of five teams with multiple players in the top 25: Darlington Nagbe and Kris Boyd.

Dike while with L.A. Blues
With two goals in his last four games, Bright Dike has been on a bit of a run as of late.
After being one of the first Timbers players ever signed in the MLS era, Dike ruptured his Achilles' tendon in the first MLS preseason game and missed much of the 2011 season. After a hard dedicated recovery, he came back to the team and was loaned to USL PRO side L.A. Blues earlier this season.
In ten games, Dike got his groove back and pocketed six goals. So while he wasn't there for the entire season, USL PRO was impressed enough to name him to the 2012 All-League Second Team.
In other MLS-related news in USL New York Red Bulls forward Corey Hertzog was a finalist for MVP after spending the season on loan with the Wilmington Hammerheads. The small but increasing number of MLS teams loaning players to the USL is a growing phenomenon as more and more teams look to further develop their players with more games and minutes. Timbers defender and 2012 MLS SuperDraft first round pick Andrew Jean-Baptiste was also loaned to the Blues in 2012 for six matches.

Rain or shine, hot or cold, Providence Park is always packed and ready to rumble on matchday.
With all the yelling, chanting, flagwaving, pogo-ing and Tetris-ing to be had, it comes as no surprise that one may work up quite a thirst.
But did you know fans are allowed to bring their own empty water bottles into the stadium? And there's drinking fountains on both the west and east concourses as well as sinks in every restroom in the facility?
A quick look through other MLS stadiums as well as other major sporting facilities across the US puts Providence Park near the top of most accepting of outside water coming in. Moreover, Providence Park allows small amounts of food for babies and children.
It's a big match out there. Be sure to stay hydrated!
Lies, damn lies, and statistics: How adidas' miCoach could change MLS (plus a cameo from Jean-Baptiste)

The Backcut has talked about the growing importance of statistics in soccer before. Manchester City is busy crowd sourcing ideas by releasing reams of stats from last year's campaign while MLS has already made much of the same information available through their excellent Matchcenter Chalkboard.
But now none other than the immenent tech geek bible Wired takes a look at the new adidas tech wizardry behind their new miCoach system and its potential impact on the league through their excellent Playbook blog.
Starting off at the 2012 MLS Combine in Florida, the article talks about how a number of draft eligible players taking part in drills and scrimmages--Portland's eventually drafted Andrew Jean-Baptiste among them--were outfitted with prototype miCoach trackers that fed information about speed, location, heart rate and more.
It's far flashier than such antiquities as a timed 40, but not much different in that the athletic attributes it measures have little to do with sport-specific skills like, say, passing the ball.
Still, proper dribbling technique is more easily taught than absurd acceleration through a defensive alignment, which is why University of Connecticut defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste started turning so many heads.
Jean-Baptiste was among those participating in the miCoach trial ahead of a league-wide rollout next season. As four Adidas reps roamed the sideline holding iPads displaying real-time readings from the field, coaches and team officials filtered by with raised eyebrows and the occasional question. Everything was proceeding as expected until Jean-Baptiste took off on a sprint across the pitch and his measurements exploded.
"Ten to 12 teams' staff people crowded around me at once," said Jan Mueller, a manager for the miCoach line. "They were watching intently, and then began asking a lot of questions."
Given the long established importance of statistics in sports such as football, baseball and basketball, MLS is looking to push the envelope as to what kind of stats become more important for soccer. And not just for coaches and players, but for fans as well. The aforementioned Chalkboard feature is already readily available for fans and writers alike to breakdown certain elements of a game with heat maps, pass completion rates, shot locations and more.
miCoach adds another layer into the player performance aspect by breaking down individual elements to a very specific level. And while much of that in-game analysis of miCoach may not be something that fans will have immediate access to, MLS Digital general manager Chris Schlosser says in the article, "We're working on what we feel like is a game-changer in the digital match experience — a whole new way for consumers to experience the game."

And even coaches who are intrigued with the possibilities of what miCoach could bring to the table such as Philadelphia Union head coach John Hackworth, there's still a belief that not everything seen on a computer screen tells you everything you need to know about a player.
"We've always had lies, damned lies and statistics," said Timbers assistant coach Amos Magee. "For example, just because a guy is covering a lot of ground, that doesn't necessarily mean it's smart running or that he's in the right place at the right time. That's a statistic that needs to come with experience. So some of these measurements are going to be useful, but some aren't. We'll just have to see which ones fill a void."
In that capacity, miCoach readings will fit right in with the rest of soccer's statistics. There's another school of thought, however, that presents an even warier eye.
"Soccer is so much art, and art is impossible to measure, like music or dance or paintings," said Hackworth. "The beauty of our sport is that there are so many creative, imaginative and skillful moments, and you'll never be able to truly quantify that."
It's a fascinating read about some great tools MLS is leading the way with. Read the whole piece here.

As is well known by now, Caleb Porter will be the Timbers new head coach beginning in 2013. After a stellar career at the University of Akron, an NCAA national championship, buckets full of talented players who went on to MLS--including our own Darlington Nagbe, a slip up with the US U-23s and Olympic qualifying, and one final year with the Zips, Porter has decided to make the jump to the next level.
MLSsoccer.com's Jonah Freedman talks about what he calls "The Fraternity" of college coaches who made the same leap and the challenges they face:
The 37-year-old Porter will join [Schellas] Hyndman, Bruce Arena, Thomas Rongen and Sigi Schmid. Those four have among them six MLS Cups, five Supporters' Shields, five US Open Cups and seven MLS Coach of the Year awards among a laundry list of other accomplishments.
No pressure, right? By now, no one should be crying that college coaches don't have the chops to make the jump directly to the pros. That quartet is clear proof they do.
Freedman goes on to explore what that pressure is like and how some of that quartet dealt with it to become successful in MLS.
Read the whole thing over at MLSsoccer.com.
Meanwhile, Porter's Zips take on Creighton tonight at 5:30pm PT. There's a live webstream at NetNebraska.org.
The third installment of the Portland Timbers Food Cart Alliance is coming to JELD-WEN Field this Friday as the Timbers take on Colorado Rapids (7:30pm PT, NBC Sports Network, 750 AM The Game / La Pantera 940) in the form of Stumptown Dumplings, or Stumplings.
Stumplings will be serving up orders of six dumplings and two sauces for $7 out of the Soccer City Grill concession stand on the east side of the stadium.
Owners Justin Prasad and Nimesh Dayal started their food cart after ten years of friendship and even more in the hospitality industry. "We wanted to branch out," said Prasad. After a month and a half of discussing the idea, Prasad and Dayal had their license and their custom-built food cart ready for business. "It happened much faster than either of us expected," said Dayal. Stumplings celebrated their grand opening on May 31.
"I've always worked for someone else. Serving here at the field proves I can work on my own and can succeed," said Prasad. "It's exciting because it's our idea coming to life. I just want people to connect the 'Stumplings' with Justin and Nimesh, and this is a great opportunity for us."
Stumplings can be found in the Alberta15 food cart pod in northeast Portland, and is the third of four food carts voted to serve during a home match via Facebook.
PTFCA is looking for new members. Applications for PTFCA will be accepted for the remainder of the season. Another fan vote for the remaining two home matches will run in early September.

The Oceania Football Confederation--home federation for New Zealand Football--wrote a nice piece about new Timbers signing Ian Hogg recently that makes for a good read. A starter in all three matches for the Oly Whites at the London 2012 Summer Olympics, Hogg played alongside Jake Gleeson who was also a member of the team.
"I'm just looking to take any opportunities I get given," said Hogg. And with Timbers GM/interim head coach Gavin Wilkinson and assistant coach Cameron Knowles also being veterans of the All Whites New Zealand national team, Portland has a growing Kiwi contingent.
Read the article here.
The article refers to Hogg's first goal in his senior national team debut during a friendly against El Salvador earlier this spring in Houston. It's a pretty quick run down the left flank that leads to a confident strike. See it here (Fast foward to the 29:41 mark, commentary in Spanish).
Then watch Hogg's first training with the team from last week.

Anti-porn law back in courtOctober 30, 2002
In a two-page letter (click here for PDF) sent Tuesday to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont asked the department to outline the type of information it has requested, its reasons for the requests, the steps it is taking to safeguard any data obtained, and any plans to issue additional subpoenas in the future.
Late last week, it was reported that federal prosecutors had subpoenaed the companies for millions of search records for use in preparing their upcoming defense of the constitutionality of a controversial Internet pornography law.
That 1998 pornography law, called the Child Online Protection Act, or COPA, restricts sexually explicit material deemed "harmful to minors" on commercial Web sites. The Supreme Court raised questions about its constitutionality in 2004 and sent the law back to a Philadelphia-based federal appeals court for further review.
"I am interested in learning more about the extent to which the Department of Justice is relying upon data mining of the Internet search queries made by law-abiding American citizens to support its efforts under COPA and how the department is addressing the privacy and civil liberties concerns raised by the collection, storage and use of that data," wrote Leahy, the Senate Judiciary Committee's top-ranking Democrat.
Google vowed last week to fight a renewed request from the agency, calling the subpoena overbroad. Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL all conceded that they have turned over some records, noting that they did so in a limited fashion involving only aggregated data and no personally identifiable information.
Leahy said in his letter that his concerns came "against the backdrop of strong public concern over the government's monitoring of Internet communications and warrantless eavesdropping on the telephone conversations of American citizens."
Justice Department spokesman Charles Miller said the department planned to respond accordingly, though he was not sure what the response would entail.
As for the privacy concerns raised by Leahy, "We've addressed that in our subpoenas and to the search engines," Miller said. "We weren't seeking information about the individuals, we were only seeking the search terms....We don't even want to know the names of the people."

- Why not violent movies and TV shows?
- Porn should be the least of anyone's concerns. TV is much more widely available, and the amount of violent and sexually explicite TV shows and movies should have far more attention than internet porn. They are missing a genre that has plagued the US for the last 20 years, and I'm sure it's not an accident either.
It seems like Hollywood has bought out the Government, along with the Recording Industry. It doesn't matter what's good for America anymore, just what's good to line senators pockets with. Lobbiest should be outlawed, as should large campaign contributions.
There are far, far, far, worse things than internet porn that kids can see without even accessing the internet.

I'm going team-by-team through the NFL in alphabetical order. My observations will be based on a 12-team league. I looked at my cheat sheet from last year and it was alarming how much it has changed in one season. For instance, 13 of the 32 NFL teams will very likely have a new opening day starter at quarterback.
In the next few days, I will attempt to identify the worthwhile fantasy football players each team has. I will not claim to know the contractual situations of each player. If a collective bargaining agreement is reached fairly soon, there will be a frenzied and short free agent period but I suspect most of those players will be fringe players and not fantasy football studs. There will be some exceptions at quarterback. I'm not going to bother with kickers, defense, or special teams. My philosophy for them is to grab one of each with my last picks. I tend to take the best of whomever is left. For kickers, I lean toward ones who play in domes or in Denver. Defenses depend largely on the fantasy scoring system you use and it's really a guessing game. Our league combines defenses and special teams and awards defenses 1 point for each turnover and 3 points for holding an opponent under 200 total yards. We also reward defenses and special teams whatever touchdowns and safeties they score. The Top Five in our league from last year are 1) Patriots, 2) Cardinals, 3) Cowboys, 4) Raiders, and 5) Jets. If you can make any rhyme or reason for that, you should join our league. You'd win.
These are just my opinions and ALL of them are disputable. Now, the teams:
Arizona Cardinals: This is Team 1 that will undoubtedly have a different opening day starter at QB. It was Matt Leinert last year. Rumor has it the Cards are going to sell the farm to acquire Kevin Kolb. We'll have to wait to see if that happens. Kolb and the Eagles figure to have plenty of suitors. If Kolb ends up here, he's probably a good backup option for you. Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower shared running back duties last season. Neither are consistent fantasy performers. If your draft/auction is out of decent RBs, these guys can fill in for your bye weeks. You may catch them on one of their good weeks. Rookie RB Ryan Williams is being hurt by the lockout but keep an eye on him. Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, and Early Doucet are the main WRs. Fitzgerald is a stud football player but his fantasy value largely depends on his QB. He suffered last year because the Cards had mostly terrible QB play. You're going to pay a premium for him. Breaston and Doucet are 3rd tier bye week WRs. I can't remember the last time I had a Cardinal tight end. They drafted Rob Housler but I think he's a longshot to have a fantasy impact.
Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons are loaded with fantasy studs. QB Matt Ryan has more stud targets than he's ever had but I would still put him as a backup QB option in a 12-team league. The only way he should be a starter is if one or more teams in the league has more than one starter on his team. There are at least 12 better fantasy QBs. Michael Turner is one of the few workhorse RBs and he's a fantasy stud. He's a top ten RB and you'll pay a premium for him. I wouldn't touch any other RB on the team, even for bye week duty. At WR, the Falcons have Roddy White and rookie Julio Jones. White is a fantasy stud and the addition of Jones will help his production. You'll pay a premium. Jones has been inconsistent the last two years at Alabama but he was a superstar his freshman year. He'll benefit from professional coaching and I expect him to do well because the Falcons are counting on him. Michael Jenkins and Harry Douglas are 3rd tier WRs. Jenkins could fill in for a bye but I'd leave Douglas alone. Tight end Tony Gonzales is a top five TE stud. You'll pay a premium for him, too.
Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens are loaded with fantasy talent, too. Joe Flacco is similar to Matt Ryan. He has a lot of weapons but he's still a 2nd tier backup option at QB. Ray Rice and Willis McGahee split carries at RB last year. Rice is a starter and you'll pay a premium for him. McGahee may or may not be back next year but he's a backup, at best. They have Anquan Boldin at WR. He's borderline 1st/2nd tier, when healthy, so he's definitely a starter. Derrick Mason is 37. Rookie Torrey Smith may turn into something but I doubt it happens right away. Todd Heap is a decent fantasy TE. I've had him many times over the years. He's a starter but only because there are too few top tier TEs. Many leagues have eliminated the position for that reason but ours still uses it.
Buffalo Bills: This is Team 2 that will undoubtedly have a new opening day starter, probably Ryan Fitzpatrick. It was Trent Edwards last year. I think the guy can play but he's a backup fantasy QB on his best days. RBs Fred Jackson, Corey McIntyre and C.J. Spiller share the carries in Buffalo. None of them are consistent. Spiller and Jackson are bye duty, at best. If McIntyre does anything special during the season, join the race to pick him up as a free agent. Lee Evans is the only WR worth talking about and he's a 2nd or 3rd WR in a 12-team league. Their TEs aren't worth talking about.
Tomorrow: Panthers, Bears, Bengals, Browns.
61 days until Saints v Packers ... I hope

Should be good for at least 2 days – keep in mind that it will taste better if you let it come to room temperature before enjoying and even better if you keep the dressing separate and mix in just before eating bc otherwise it will significantly dry out over the pasta if it's in the fridge for too long. Enjoy!
If you want to make the dressing non-dairy – what is a good substitute for the yogurt?
Hey Penina – you can use a total of 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup mayo in place of the (1/3 each of olive oil, mayo and yogurt) – feel free to use low fat mayo if you want. You may have to adjust some of the seasoning a bit so just give it a taste and see if you need more lemon juice or garlic , even a dash of Worcestershire sauce (or even Tabasco) would be nice.
SarahEats – Nicoise Salad (and variations such as Pasta Nicoise etc…) is a specialty of the Cote D'Azur region of France, originating in and named for the city of Nice. Very common is nicoise dishes is the use of black olives, tomatoes, potatoes, beans and vinaigrette dressing. So the Pasta Nicoise recipe here is obviously a take on the traditional.
Note the optional choice ;Bacon Bits'
not very nice for a kosher website!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes coach Tippett: Few teams have guy like Shane Doan
In sports, repeating a successful season that includes a winning record, a conference championship and a late playoff run can be a strenuous goal for any team.
Doing so when returning from a hectic off-season that included a player lockout only adds to the struggle.
Luckily for the Phoenix Coyotes, the team has a coach on and off the ice.
Seventeen-year Coyote veteran and team captain Shane Doan exuded the persona of head coach Dave Tippett throughout the entire lockout.
From organizing practices to keeping in touch with fellow teammates, Doan took -- what could be considered -- the franchise into his own hands.
Tippett joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo and talked about the captain and the 2013 season.
"(He's) an invaluable piece of our organization," Tippett said of Doan. "He is all on board with everything to move this organization ahead. He is phenomenal."
Along with the NHL lockout, the Coyotes and their fans had to experience the drama of whether Doan -- let alone the team -- would remain in Glendale. A free agent, Doan chose to remain with the only NHL franchise he's ever known at a somewhat discounted rate.
"From a coaching standpoint...there's very few teams that can have a guy like that in that dressing room," Tippett said. "That's why it was so important to bring him back."
While veterans are important for a team's development and clique, this year's Coyotes only bring in three new players in winger Steve Sullivan, center David Moss and winger Nick Johnson.
Tippett expects Sullivan to fill in for Ray Whitney, who the team did not re-sign after he tallied a team-high 77 points.
"Ray had an unbelievable year for us last year," Tippett said. "We don't expect Sully to come in and fill that whole void. Hopefully he can mesh with (Martin) Hanzal and (Radim) Vrbata the way Whitney did."
The return of defenseman Zbynek Michalek will add the to depth of the Coyotes' blue line, and Tippett says that is just as -- if not more -- important than the offense.
"He was a key (addition) for us this summer," Tippett said of Michalek. "In critical situations, when you're up a goal in the last minute, he's a guy who plays in all those situations.
"People always look at the offensive guys and think that's how you win, but there's critical points in the game where you need those guys that are willing to sacrifice everything to keep the puck out of your net."
The Coyotes will have a scrimmage Wednesday night in place of practice to prepare for the regular season opener Saturday night against Dallas. The scrimmage is at Jobing.com Arena and is open to the public.
"Hopefully we can get up and going quickly," Tippett said. "It should be an exciting run."

By Marianna Levine
Euphoric and lengthy applause greeted the announcement that Bridgehampton Superintendent Dr. Youngblood had approved Bridgehampton principal Jack Pryor for tenure. In an otherwise tensely restrained meeting, the vocal approval came two years after Dr. Youngblood requested that Mr. Pryor be denied tenure at the school. At that time her announcement caused something of an uproar among students as well as parents who wanted to see Mr. Pryor remain at the school's helm. As a result the school board refused to vote on her recommendation, and resolved the situation by giving Mr. Pryor a year's probation on the job.
Board Vice-President Elizabeth Kotz said, "I think he's a very good principal. It may seem like a simple job but considering he oversees K-12 it's really a complex position to be in." She continued, "It's a good thing he got tenure. It gives the district a sense of stability." After the applause died down, Board President James Walker was happy to officially announce tenure was granted.
The Cost of Students
The other point that caused a lively conversation among audience and board members alike was a presentation by Janice Delano on the maximum incremental out-of-pocket cost for additional students at Bridgehampton. This report, which Ms. Delano reminded all was a work in progress, considered what it would cost the school to take on additional students without adding staff. As Rick Delano pointed out, "we have quite a few empty desks, and we're some numbers short of being full." Therefore the cost of taking on additional students would come out to just under $1,400 although, as of last year, the district has a tuition policy in place that charges between $11,000 and $14,000 to out-of-district students. Mr. Delano noted, "That means any tuition above this cost is income to the district."
Ms. Delano noted that this draft did not include special need students, which confounded former board member Joe Conti, who specifically wanted to know what the cost for special need students were to the district. Conti reminded the current board members once again that a resolution was passed to discuss the out of district students, but that a report on them excluding any special needs students just didn't make sense to him. An exasperated Kotz explained that the district had already studied this and that no special teachers or staff were required for any out of district students. "We are not taking on any new non-district students with special needs. It is not costing the district extra money. If they are in district we're legally obligated to provide services to them." However, board member Joe Berhalter continued the discussion stating, "we only have a finite number of people the district can service because the district grandfathered in non-tuition paying out of district students therefore perhaps new students with special needs will need added staff." Ms. Delano said it would be very hard to conceive of the school needing more people since they had ample staff now. Principal Pryor noted that there are only about 13% of students with special needs currently attending the school. One thing both Elizabeth Kotz and Joe Berhalter agreed on was the need to take some time to review the report. Board President Walker therefore asked that further discussion about this matter occur at the next meeting, which is set to take place on Monday, January 12 at 7pm.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she would accelerate redevelopment of Baltimore's more than 30,000 vacant properties by cutting bureaucracy and speeding the sales of city-owned properties.
"Vacant houses are more than just an eyesore," Rawlings-Blake said at a Wednesday morning news conference. "Just ask someone who lives next door to one."

Supporting the Gulf County community is a main goal of the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School NJROTC program.
Recently, five cadets were recognized by Tupelo Free and Accepted Masonic Lodge #289 for their support of the Lodge and its members and as representatives of their company mate's overall community support throughout the year.
During the Lodge's annual Awards Dinner held at the Lodge in Wewahitchka, Cadets Megan Hubbard, Matthew Rocha, Kayla Willis, Claudia Gref and Alex Naus received certificates of appreciation recognizing their community service efforts.
The cadets "Presented the Colors" to start the ceremony and performed an extremely poignant Flag Folding Ceremony depicting the meaning behind each fold of a correctly folded American Flag. The cadets wish to thank the Lodge for their recognition and support and are looking forward to further serving the Gulf County community. The Port St. Joe NJROTC is a citizenship and leadership training program co-sponsored by Gulf County Schools and the United States Navy. Each year, over 600 hours of community service are performed by the Cadets through active participation in community events.

Has anyone used this blade? Do you know of anyone who has? Any comments? I understand that this blade was designed to put the balance near the bell guard which enables better point control.

Perhaps this thread belongs in the Armoury section?
Have you looked up the product review section?
Or the fencing Froum run by Leon Paul?
Sorry, Craig, just being helpful.
does it really matter what kind of blade you haveOriginally posted by corinna2u

Thank you, it would make sense that their forum would probably have more info on their products.
I did try the product review search and it came back with 0. It is possible I did it wrong, being as it was my first stab.
I apologize for starting this thread in the Fencing Discussion. I thought armoury was for how to fix...not for equipment preference or critique...just like the threads on shoes that I have seen several times in the Fencing Discussion.
Oh well, still learning.
I would really like you to expand you answer. It would help me in knowing if I am in any way on the right track.
When my son was playing tennis. He started with a stock racquet. His coach then suggested he get a higher grade racquet. Then difference in the game was phenomenal.
My husband has been a carpenter and professional household painter. He believes very strongly that the right saw or the right brush with the right skill and knowledge makes a huge difference. The difference between very nice and top notch.
Now back to what I am trying to accomplish. The two serious fencers in my household do not flick (they can, they just don't really use the flick on the strip); therefore, I thought that there would be no point in pursuing that type of blade. They have worked very hard on their point control...so it isn't like I am looking for a blade to fix something that they should just fix. But, with their style of fencing, I thought that a blade balanced for point control might be the route to go.
So if you would expand your answer, then maybe I will gain some insight. Thanks.
I'm not Edew, (though doesn't everyone wish they could be? ;-) but seriously having the best blade in fencing is more of a luxury than anything else. If suddenly all my blades broke, and I had to use someone else's I'd be more concerned about what kind of pistol grip they had.
I've painted ceilings, and YES the right brush makes all the difference in the world, not so in fencing. If I use FIE blades and you were to suddenly give me a cheap $20 blade to fence a tourny I wouldn't freak out. Having the best blade to suit your stlye of fencing isn't going to dramaticly improve your fencing, especially if you don't flick.
Having said that, I do believe FIE blades are well worth the money. They'll last much longer and retain their shape better. Buy them for those reasons, don't buy them thinking they'll make your son a Golubitsky.
I don't want to turn him into a Golubitsky; I want him to be who he is and reach his own potential.
But since I am investing in FIE blades, I figured that I would get the kind that would best reflect my son's style. I purchased the more expensive blades for our female fencer and she absolutely loves the balance of her foil. And, when her foils weren't working, we exchanged her grip onto my son's foil and she fenced fine...maybe a small fraction less than with her own blade.
I do know he doesn't need a blade that was designed with flicking in mind...but I need to narrow down the other choices.
(And before anyone starts hammering me about spoiling...these blades are being purchased with his money; money earned by getting up really early and shoveling snow.)
A suggestion, if you can, do not buy through mail order. Most blades are handmade for the most part. There will be good and bad blades from all manufacturers.
If you are at a NAC or other major competition you will see a lot of good Armorers. They will be more than will to show you how to test blades. Just don't go first thing in the morning when they are swamped.
What you are looking for is problems or iregularities. Run you fingers down the blade. What you are checking for is a smooth transition down the blade. If you find places that suddenly get thinner and then out again, that is where it will have weak points. Check for the groove that it is regular. Check the weld of the tang, that it is smooth. Place your open palm on the end of the tang and press down. Does it bend over the whole blade or just in one spot. If it is just one spot, that is a weak area. This will help you in picking out a blade that will last.
If you are looking at bare blades there are other things to look for. The threads should be regular and try and have between 5 and 8 threads. The groove where the threads are should be a V. This is not something you should reject a blade for, but you should use a triangular file to widen in. When the barrel is cranked down that will close. If it is too small, it will scape the wire and may cause shorts. Another thing that is not grounds for rejection is a shoulder. The blade should have a smooth transition down the blade. When the barrel is tighten it should stop when it is tight, not when it reaches the shoulder. This is a cause of a lot of loose barrels.
For all, read Joe Byrnes article in the Winter 2004 issue. It will help us all.

Knowing the rule book by heart means nothing, if you don't understand the rules.
Having a good blade is essential! I have finally found my personal preference for control to flick ratio, and found good blades for me. You hand me a triplette blade in the middle of a NAC and I would freak like crazy!
Homestarrunner forever!~!
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I have to order now. We won't be going to a major comp until the DEC 04 NAC DIV I.

Italian operator Eurofly and its majority shareholder Meridiana have agreed to fully integrate and become single airline, Meridiana Fly.
The new airline will focus on medium- and long-haul services. Peak short-haul and charter operations will be handled by newly-incorporated company Meridiana Express, which will exist within Meridiana Fly. The deadline for integration is 31 January 2010.
Meridiana states: "Integration is characterised by the development of significant commercial synergies and significant improvements in quality of service...by obtaining a greater size, the rationalization of the fleet, greater operational flexibility and the achievement of industrial synergies with a significant reduction in production costs."
The deal is subject to Eurofly's securing €30 million ($45 million) of financing to be made available post-integration.
Before then Eurofly intends to raise €53 million through a share issue. Another capital increase of €40 million will be required once it joins Meridiana.
Subject to certain conditions, the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development will make €30 million available to Meridiana to support the integration. Half that sum will be used to ensure the liquidity of financially-troubled Eurofly. The Aga Khan is a shareholder in Meridiana.
Eurofly currently operates nine Airbus A320s and three A330-200s, while Meridiana's fleet comprises 18 Boeing MD-82 aircraft and four A319s.

Two women reported being followed by an Indian man in his early-to-mid 20s while walking through Hart Park last week.
According to the Wauwatosa police reports:
A woman's shortcut through Hart Park ended in a terrified run from a man who had been following her.
The woman had been shopping at Pick 'n Save, 6950 W. State St., and was walking through Hart Park between 1 and 2 p.m. Jan. 29 when she noticed she was being followed.
At first, she thought nothing of it and changed her direction a few times. Her pursuer changed his direction as well. She started jogging. He started jogging. She broke into a flat-out run. He ran as well.
She broke out of the park, changed direction again and fled into a building. She saw him exit the park, look both ways and go back in.
She escaped her would-be pursuer.
She wasn't the only one followed last week.
While investigating, police spoke with a Park and Recreation employee who gave a similar description and story. She was also followed during her lunch break. She escaped into a public building. While she did not run, she noted that a man was intently following her and thought he was going to try to take her wallet.
The man is described as a male with dark skin, 20 to 25 years old, 5-foot-9 and weighing 150 lbs.

Born on Dec. 27, 1901 in Schöneberg, Germany, Dietrich was raised with her sister, Elizabeth, in Berlin and Dressau by her father, Louis, a policeman, and her mother, Wilhelmina, a jeweler's daughter. After her father's death in 1907, her mother remarried his best friend, Edouard von Losch, who later died on the battlefield in World War I. As a child, Dietrich showed promise as a violinist, attending the Hochschule fur Musik following her attendance in all-girls schools for her primary education. But her dreams of becoming a concert violinist were cut short after she suffered a wrist injury. Luckily she was also interested in theater and dance, which led to auditioning for famed stage impre... Continue Bio >>

William E. Gentner, III, moved to Columbia, Tennessee in 1988 to become City Manager and served in that position until 1999. During his 11-year tenure with the City of Columbia, he was responsible for managing more than 400 full- and part-time employees and an annual budget of nearly $24 million. While serving as Columbia's City Manager, Mr. Gentner supervised $12 million of sewer-related improvement projects; implemented the first recycling drop-off program for the city; edited and published the city's first annual report to its citizens; developed the city's first annual performance appraisal process; drafted legislation for the city's first historical landmarks and zoning district ordinances; and was responsible for a number of Main Street projects.
After leaving the City, Mr. Gentner was a successful investment representative with Edward Jones Investments in Columbia and Spring Hill. In 2003, he retired to devote his time to representing the residents and businesses in the Fifth Ward on the Columbia City Council. In 2005, Mr. Gentner ran for the office of Mayor of Columbia and was successful in that race. As Mayor of Columbia he served on the Board of Directors of the Maury County Senior Center and Maury Alliance.
Prior to moving to Columbia, Mr. Gentner was city manager of Reidsville, N.C. from May 1982 to February 1988. He had been assistant city manager from July 1974 to May 1982 in Upper Arlington, Ohio, and director of urban affairs for the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana from June 1970 to June 1974.
As a commissioned officer in the United States Army, Mr. Gentner served with the 2nd Armor Division in Fort Hood, Texas and the 1st Infantry Division in South Vietnam. Mr. Gentner, who had been promoted to Captain before leaving the military, was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and a Bronze Star. He has a master's degree in public administration from the University of Missouri and a bachelor's degree in public administration/business administration from Virginia Tech. He has also been active in several local service organizations, including the Kiwanis Club, Maury County Lions Club, Keep Maury Beautiful, American Legion Post 19, and the Friends of Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
Mr. Gentner and his wife, Hazel, who is retired from Tennessee Farm Bureau, have two sons and five grandchildren.
