Top 30 NFL Quarterbacks Heading into 2013 Season
Ranking the Top 30 NFL Quarterbacks
The 2012 NFL campaign has officially come to a close. The Baltimore Ravens are the Super Bowl Champions. Ray Lewis is headed for retirement with another title under his belt. Adrian Peterson is the league's MVP after a miraculous season. Titus Young is a free agent and likely won't be claimed. Everything is right in the world.
With that in mind, now is the time to start looking towards the 2013 NFL season.
The 2013 NFL Draft is on the horizon as some of college football's brightest prospects prepare to impress coaches and scouts at the NFL Combine. Meanwhile, free agency is just over a month away as veterans and hopefuls alike look to find their next payday no matter the source. The NFL is an ever-changing tapestry, but we must not forget the past as we look towards the future.
This past season, the NFL continued its evolution towards a league dominated by pass-heavy offenses and stat-hoarding quarterbacks. While several teams suffered from lackluster passing, other teams prevailed because of their franchise-caliber gunslingers. That's what this list is all about.
These rankings will put the Top 30 quarterbacks of the 2012 season in order based off of their individual performances and the impact (or lack thereof) they made for their respective teams. Let me make this clear: these rankings are not based off of pure talent or potential, but rather how they performed in 2012 and where they stand heading into 2013.
Feel free to comment below if you agree or disagree. Enjoy.
30. Brandon Weeden, Cleveland Browns
It was a rough year for the Browns' 2012 first-round pick, as Weeden had to endure a patchwork offensive line and a lack of consistent playmaking from his receiving options. With a new regime now in town, he might not even be the starter next year. It could be one and done for the 29-year-old.
29. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles
The dynamic Vick that we once knew has become an aged, sporadic quarterback who is still grasping frantically to be the dual threat that he used to be. Even after he came back from injury, he failed to win back his starting spot and could be headed elsewhere this offseason as the Eagles move into a new era.
28. Kevin Kolb, Arizona Cardinals
While the rest of the Cardinals' quarterbacks played like the third-stringer on your high school's football team, Kolb managed to make a significant impact when he wasn't sidelined by injury. He didn't play as scared as he has in the past and showed the confidence that is needed from a starter. There's still hope for this one…
27. Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins
Much like Weeden, Tannehill had a rough rookie season as he tried to adjust to the speed of the NFL. Although he showed some promise, he had few weapons to work with in the passing game and was under heavy pressure to carry the offense. It'll be up to the Dolphins in 2013 to give him a bigger arsenal to work with if they want him to reach his full potential.
26. Christian Ponder, Minnesota Vikings
Everything looked great at the start of the 2012 campaign for Ponder, who the Vikings are hoping can develop into a franchise-caliber quarterback in the near future. Unfortunately, Ponder stumbled down the stretch and made people wonder if he was worth the No. 12 overall pick in 2012. The jury is still out, but the Vikings can only show so much more patience.
25. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills
Even though Fitzpatrick managed to cut down on turnovers in 2012, he's still not playing at the level that the Bills need from their starting quarterback. General Manager Buddy Nix has already made it clear the Buffalo will be looking for a new starter this offseason, which means that Fitzpatrick has run out of changes.
24. Carson Palmer, Oakland Raiders
The tread is starting to wear thin on Palmer's tires as the veteran tries to stay at the top of the Raiders quarterback depth chart. Health concerns, caused by poor pass protection, have Palmer visiting the injured list all too often. If Terrelle Pryor is really in competition for the 2013 starting spot, Palmer should just call it a career.
23. Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins
It's becoming clearer why the Redskins decided to draft another quarterback after taking RG3 at No. 2 overall. Cousins stepped in for Griffin splendidly when called upon, amassing a 101.6 quarterback rating and helping Washington stay afloat in the playoff hunt. If it wasn't for him, the Redskins might not have made to the postseason.
22. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers
Unfortunately for the Panthers, Newton could not avoid the sophomore slump as the immature quarterback struggled to shoulder the mental burden of media scrutiny. Every lackluster outing meant another Newton that was noticeably flustered during the postgame press conference. The Panthers better hope their prized possession bounces back in 2013.
21. Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams
If it wasn't for the health issues brought about by poor pass blocking, Bradford could be a Top 10 talent. Instead, the Rams have watched their former No. 1 overall pick fall to the David Carr syndrome – the inability to properly quarterback due to fear of getting decleated on a play-to-play basis. Only a major upgrade to the front five can save him now.
20. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
The downhill tumble continues for Rivers, who still appears out of sorts as the Chargers continue to shrug their shoulders whenever problems arise. With Norv Turner out and Mike McCoy in as the head coach, Rivers will likely have one more year to prove he still has the "it" factor in him.
19. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals
Dalton spent all of 2012 helping the Bengals make an unexpected push for a postseason berth, but there's still plenty of room for improvement in 2013. He's been depending heavily on elite receiver A.J. Green to pull him out of tight situations, and needs to start showing that he's not a product of Green's talent. Next season could be a make-or-break year for Dalton.
18. Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears
I still haven't quite figured out Cutler, who can be dynamic one game and a dope the next. Injuries have played a big part in his struggles since arriving in Chicago, and the Bears are clearly better when he's under center. If the Bears can provide him with some capable pass blocking, there's no reason he can't be higher on this list in 2013.
17. Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers
If it wasn't for the fact that Kaepernick stole the spotlight from him, Smith might be even higher on this list. The former No.1 overall pick had finally found his rhythm as an NFL quarterback, and had the 49ers on their way to another playoff berth. Still, his injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season and will be his ticket out of town during the 2013 offseason.
16. Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins
There's no denying that Griffin was a dynamic playmaker in his first year as an NFL quarterback. The Redskins put their chips on RG3, gave it a spin, and came out richer than they were before. Still, the young gunslinger has a lot of learning to do before he can take that next step in his maturation. Griffin is going to have to learn how to avoid injury before he's forced into earlier retirement.
15. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
Despite the impressive passing yardage total (4,967), Stafford had a down year in 2012 as his Lions failed to make any sort of impact on the NFC North race. He only threw 20 touchdowns despite 727 attempts as he failed to let his passing skills impact the scoreboard. Stafford is better than No. 14, but his 2012 performance didn't show it.
14. Josh Freeman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
At this point in his NFL career, I assumed Freeman would be further along than he actually is. Don't get me wrong; I think he's a great quarterback who definitely makes a difference for the Buccaneers. The problem, however, is that he hasn't flipped the switch and become that upper-echelon passer that people were expecting. I'm starting to think he may never become more than an above-average NFL quarterback.
13. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
It doesn't matter how good Romo is capable of being; the fact remains that he's so sporadic, he'll never crack the list of Top 10 NFL quarterbacks. The Cowboys have had a number of talented teams over the years, but Romo still struggles to get them over the hump with his untimely mistakes and random horrendous performances. Age is also becoming a factor for the quarterback that America loves to hate.
12. Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers
Talk about bursting onto the scene in the biggest of ways. Kaepernick took over for Smith and never looked back, leading the 49ers all the way to the Super Bowl before falling just short in the biggest game of the year. There's still plenty for Kaepernick to learn, but no one can deny that he's a dynamic playmaker who can hurt defenses in more ways than one. The ceiling is very high with this one.
11. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
When Wilson beat out Matt Flynn for the starting job during the preseason, there was a sense that the rookie would do something special in 2012. Well he didn't disappoint, leading his Seahawks to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth. There's still some growing to do for the young gunslinger, but he's already one of the best game managers in the NFL and has a bright future ahead of him in Seattle.
10. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Although Schaub has helped carry his team to the postseason the last two years, he has yet to elevate his play to the next level. Time and time again, he struggles to make the big throws on third downs and hasn't proven himself capable of delivering the dagger in the clutch. Especially with Andre Johnson slowing down, Schaub is going to have to show that he can make his receivers better rather than the other way around.
9. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
If it wasn't for the untimely injuries, Roethlisberger would be even higher. Big Ben is still the top-shelf passer that the Steelers drafted so many years ago, and showed signs of brilliance all season long. His numbers were outstanding as usual, but the health issues put Pittsburgh in a bad situation. For the Steelers' sake, Roethlisberger needs to get healthy and stay there in 2013.
8. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
Turning a 2-14 team into an 11-5 team despite subpar pass blocking and an extremely young receiving corps has earned Luck the right to be a Top 10 quarterback after only one NFL season. The rookie proved that he was well worth the hype coming out of college and should only get better as the experience racks up. The Colts have a bright future with Luck at the helm.
7. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
It took an unlikely playoff run and Super Bowl MVP performance to finally do it, but Flacco has quieted the critics for now and slipped his name into the elite quarterback conversation. It's going to be awhile before he gets to that level, but consistent improvement could build on the reputation boost he received this past postseason.
6. Eli Manning, New York Giants
Even with two Super Bowl victories under his belt, it's hard to put Manning among the Top Five quarterbacks in the NFL simply due to his inconsistency. The Giants choked away their grip on the NFC East this past season, and his inability to show up game in and game out was a big factor. There's no denying that Manning is a terrific quarterback, but his consistency needs improvement in 2013.
5. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Despite the gaudy stats, Brees didn't provide enough firepower to get the Saints to the playoffs in 2012. New Orleans failed to bounce back from the devastating bounty repercussions, starting the season off horridly before making a feeble comeback attempt. With Sean Payton back in the driver's seat, though, expect Brees and the Saints to get back on track next year.
4. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
It took a few years, but Ryan has finally broken that barrier and gotten his first career playoff win. Matty Ice continues to shine as one of the top young passers in the league and has made the Falcons a yearly contender. If Atlanta can provide him with a more prominent running game in 2013, expect Ryan to put the Falcons in the same position they were this past season.
3. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
You really can't expect much else from Brady, who has proven himself to be one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history. He didn't waver from the norm in 2012, putting up big numbers and getting his team to within one game of the Super Bowl. The grains of sand are slowly slipping away, though.
2. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Rodgers was the same old Rodgers in 2012, picking apart opposing defenses and single-handedly lifting the Packers to yet another playoff appearance. He makes his tremendous receiving corps look even better and makes up for the fact that the Green Bay running game is abysmal at best. Just imagine if the Packers actually provided him with a capable ground attack in 2013...
1. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
Who knew that Manning could go from a career-threatening injury to an MVP candidacy in one year? The Broncos did, and it paid off as the future Hall of Famer helped Denver finish off the regular season on an 11-game winning streak. It looks like one of the game's greatest of all-time still has some gas left in the tank.

Originally written on Bush League Chronicle | Last updated 2/18/13
With the addition of Josh Hamilton over the winter, the Los Angeles Angels figure to have one of the most dangerous offenses in the league. Well, the regular season doesn't begin for another six weeks, but it appears as though the Angels are already wreaking havoc.Seen here is the windshield encountered by team employee Eric Kay on Monday. Kay tweeted out the photo along with a caption that read: "Nobody's fault but my own. Parked in the danger zone."It isn't known which player is responsible for the smashed window, but a few suspects might include Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, Albert Pujols, or Hamilton. Each of those four clubbed at least 30 homers last season. According to his Linkedin profile, Kay serves as the public relations manager for the Angels, He has worked in the organization since 1996.Via Twitter

Anthotyro Cheese
Anthotyro is a Greek cheese that has been made for centuries. It is a traditional, unpasteurized, cheese made from sheep's and/or goat's whey with the addition of milk. It is usually shaped into a cone or ball. It's dry and white, has no rind, and is often eaten for breakfast with fruit and honey, but also in savory dishes. Its name, which means" flower cheese," comes from the aroma and flavor, which carries a hint of wild herbs. It is smooth, hard and moist, and has a fine, crumbly texture. The pure white interior is delicate, and the famed, floral flavor has a smoky tang. Anthotyros is salted and matured Mizithra.

IBEROSTAR Rose Hall Suites
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Rose Hall Suites
Sandy says: about 1 year
Very good!
"The hotel is beautiful, staff is wonderful & entertaining, food is very good at the buffet. Our experience at the mederteranian, Mexican & Japanese resturants was average & the service at the mederteranian was very slow. I would like to see an additional swim up bar specifically for kids or not having the kids access the swim up bar. Every time I went up there were kids in the seats making it difficult for the adults ( who give the tips) access."Rating: 9,0
Millie Moy says: about 1 year
experience is great, need more time there
"the resort was beautiful, I would recommend this resort to my friends. the buffet food was very good and had alot of variety. Out of all the specialty resturants, the steak house was the best. the jerk chicken was very good and Hot. Pool was beautiful and the star friends was great, especially China. the people were very friendly. Although I was a little disappointed in the quality of alcohol being served. I tend to drink tequila and they did not have any good brands available. Some of the equipemnt at the gym was not working and you would have to wait for an available treadmill. Definately need more space in the gym. But overall, I really enjoyed the resort. I'm just sorry I did not get to stay at the Grand, I heard that was even better. Maybe next time. The Suites was still beautiful"Rating: 10,0

NCAA Football – Week 8
The first edition of the always odd Tuesday night college football betting action in the Sun Belt starts this week, and the first two teams up are the North Texas Mean Green and the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns.
The Cajuns are 4-1 right now, and they are looking to get back to a bowl game for the second straight season. They have an offense that can really do some damage. Take out a 65-24 romp at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, and ULL has at least 37 points in all four of its games this year. QB Blaine Gautier was having a tough start to the year, but breaking two bones in his hand most certainly didn't help matters any. He has been replaced by former Houston QB Terrance Broadway, who brings to the table a much faster pace to the game. Broadway is a threat with both his arm and his legs, and he has proven it thus far this year. The signal caller has 612 yards and four scores through the air and 135 yards and three TDs on the ground, proving that the offense isn't losing a beat, and might even be a bit more dynamic with him out there.
It's not been a good year for the North Texas offense, and it is going to have some problems in this one. The team ranks just 81st in the country in total offense at 380.2 yards per game, and just 19.5 points per game ranks 110th in the land. In fairness to the offense, the LSU Tigers were the first team on the schedule this year, but things just haven't improved at all. QB Derek Thompson has turned the ball over a ton, including five picks against just six touchdowns. He does have 1,235 passing yards and a solid duo of rushers to work with in RB Brandin Byrd and RB Antoinne Jimmerson. These two have combined for 170 carries, 777 yards, and five trips to the end zone this year. Keep an eye on WR Brelan Chancellor as well, as he has 23 catches, 433 yards, and five scores. The defense is really that of a typical Sun Belt team, as the Mean Green allow 395.3 yards per game and feel a lot worse when you actually see the unit in action.
This has been a massive lopsided series over the course of the last few years, knowing that the Cajuns have picked up five straight wins and are 3-1 ATS in the last four. Don't expect this one to really be all that close either, as Broadway and the Cajuns should be able to claim a road victory by a relatively comfortable margin. Louisiana Lafayette 38 – North Texas 20

Are you ready for the Hangman?
Only a ghoulish rig like this deserves the rare privilege of getting hitched to a disabled show car or custom street rod.
From the wild Cobra mill with dual-quad carbs and velocity stacks to the realistic noose dangling from the towering boom, this raking wrecker is really far out!
Antiqued headlights, rooftop spotlights and colorful decals add the finishing touches.
Ah yes, the decals...
I had, even with this kit, no luck with the decals...
Too old glue, or whatever ...
I could only install this one, on the roof deck.
A black one with a red interior, everyone has...
So I changed the colors.
Well, the color in these images comes not so right through. (Poor lighting)
In nature it is much more intense with metallic effects.
I have cut the steering rod, which was a little too high for my taste.
I had these wheels lying around, so they came to the mission.
The rear suspension, I superseded by right coil springs.
Recently I built a taillight, with a red Lego lens on.
Here are the pics:
Hope, you like it.

"That figure was shocking to me." Zagorsky said. "I think it would be very difficult for a shopper to regularly buy healthy, nutritious food on that budget."
That's because calorie-dense, high-fat, processed foods tend to be less expensive than more healthy choices.
Zagorsky said policymakers should aim at changing the types of food that program participants purchase.
Those on food stamps could be required to take a course on nutrition. In addition, recipients who purchase fresh fruit and vegetables and other low-fat products could be given more benefits or receive discounts on these products, he said.
"Modifying the Food Stamp Program to include economic incentives to eat healthier might be an important tool for fighting obesity," Zagorsky said.

Rio de Janeiro Highlights
Be warned: Rio's powers of seduction can leave you with a bad case of saudade (indescribable longing). Planted between lush, forest-covered mountains and breathtaking beaches, the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City) has many charms at her disposal. It's a city of Dionysian spirit whose people live life to the full.
The Cariocas - as the inhabitants are called - thrive on dance, beach, sport and sun. While large-scale festivities like Carnaval make Rio famous, there are countless occasions for revelry - Saturday at Ipanema Beach, admiring Corcovado and Sugar Loaf, soccer at Maracana Stadium, or an impromptu samba at Copacabana or any other corner of this marvelous city.

New studies show that treatments targeting specific viral genes protected monkeys infected with deadly Ebola or Marburg viruses. Furthermore, the animals were protected even when therapeutics were administered one hour after exposuresuggesting the approach holds promise for treating accidental infections in laboratory or hospital settings.
The research, which appears in today's online edition of the journal Nature Medicine, was conducted by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in collaboration with AVI BioPharma, a Washington-based biotechnology firm.
Working with a class of compounds known as antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers, or PMOs, scientists first performed a series of studies with mouse and guinea pig models of Ebola to screen various chemical variations. They arrived at a therapy known as AVI-6002, which demonstrated a survival rate of better than 90 percent in animals treated either pre- or post-exposure.
Encouraged by these results, the team conducted "proof of concept" studies in which 9 rhesus monkeys were challenged with lethal Ebola virus. Treatment was initiated 30-60 minutes after exposure to the virus. In these studies, 5 of 8 monkeys survived, while the remaining animal was untreated. Further experiments, including a multiple-dose evaluation, also yielded promising results, with 3 of 5 monkeys surviving in each of the AVI-6002 treatment groups when they received a dose of 40 mg per kg of body weight.
According to first author Travis K. Warren of USAMRIID, antisense drugs are useful against viral diseases because they are designed to enter cells and eliminate viruses by preventing their replication. The drugs act by blocking critical viral genetic sequences, essentially giving the infected host time to mount an immune response and clear the virus.
Ebola and Marburg cause hemorrhagic fever with case fatality rates as high as 90 percent in humans. The v

I don't really think that there's anything I can add to this story that isn't described in the 1,000 words that the pictures reveal. Lindsay Lohan came out with her own line of leggings recently and after everything that girl's been through, after all of her drama, after all of her requests and complaints and whining about people being nice to her...
.... the leggings include KNEE PADS. Not every pair, mind you. But you'd think that if she was really concerned about the public's image of her, she might've thought longer and harder about the decision to lend her name to a fashion accessory that accentuates the concept of being on one's knees.
I mean, I know gardeners like some extra support when they're out hoing in their zinnias, but still.

They say a cat has nine lives, but how many does a deer have?
Well, according to Thunder Bay Police, the answer might be at least a couple.
Police say on Thursday they responded to a Brannan Lane call just after 1 p.m., arriving on scene to find a deer pinned under a vehicle.
Usually that means having to put the animal down.
But in this case officers observed the deer was only suffering from minor injuries. The vehicle was jacked up and the deer ran off into the woods in one piece.

"Reinventing the wheel" is a common trend in the UX field, as is it within the majority of creative disciplines. Keen designers want to leave their mark; to prove their creativity and talent through fresh concepts. Fair play to them. How else are we to ensure trends evolve and continue to keep us interested and excited?
UX however, is a strange beast. A place where boundless creativity must be kept in check. Where any hint of misplaced arrogance can, and will, break a design; where "Reinventing the Wheel" is a trap best avoided. UX is about consistency.

Another travel writer's perspective on Southwest's bid to acquire Frontier Airlines in a bankruptcy court auction was published on te Wallet Pop Web site today. The writer notes that lower-cost travel to Mexico couldbe among the results if Souhwest wins the bid. Find the article here.
Southwest Airlines just announced that it's planning to bid on Frontier Airlines, the Denver-based carrier that's been operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Republic Airways, a regional operator, has also submitted a bid for Frontier.
Southwest said it would make a minimum bid of $113.6 million. Republic's bid was for $108.8 million. Southwest indicated it was willing to raise the bid as part of the bankruptcy-court sale process in order to get Frontier's assets. Southwest would keep Frontier's 737 jets, since those are the only aircraft type Southwest now flies, and dispose of Frontier's fleet of Airbus jets.
As mentioned here earlier, acquisition of Frontier would boost Southwest's operations in Denver, which already is one of its fastest-growing cities. That's one of the key points that Southwest executives made in a conference call with reporters this afternoon. If Southwest acquired Frontier, it would have about a third of the Denver market while United Airlines has about 50 percent, "This is going to be good for competition," said executive vice president Ron Ricks.
The European Union says airlines are not allowed to stop passengers suspected of having swine flu from boarding flights. That's a job for public health authorities, and so far, despite growing concern about how the disease may spread this fall and winter, the World Health Organization has not called for restrictions on travel to try to stop it. Read a little more about what the EU said here.
Months, even years, can go by while Congress plods through the legislative process on some issues, including those that directly affect travelers. Then, occasionally we get pretty fast action when a problem turns into crisis of confidence -- in this case we're talking about the safety of regional airline flying.
A bipartisan bill was introduced in the House yesterday, and appears headed for quick approval, that would set tougher standards for regional airline pilots' training and work practices. This flows out of the Colgan Air crash at Buffalo last winter that killed 50 people. Pilot skill and actions are a suspected cause. Read more about the legislation here.
In the Senate, the Appropriations Committee adopted a transportation and housing bill that includes less money for high-speed rail projects than the House or the Obama administration sought, but boosted funding for the Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes flights to small cities with little traffic. Read about that at this link.
The issue of what rights airline passengers should have when stuck in a plane at an airport for hours because of weather-related or other delays has been largely out of the news lately. Such "tarmac strandings" are relatively rare but when they occur often make good tales for the media and revive talk of legislation to govern such situations.
Federal legislation is working its way through Congress now that would outline what airlines must do in such situations. I'll be looking into this more for a future column. For now, a long article on the topic was published by USA Today this week and provides good background. Find it here.
The American Society of Travel Agents weighed in on the issue with Congress, asking for a clear message from new regulations. Here's a report on that from Travel Agent magazine.
Inquirer airline reporter Linda Loyd has a story today that I had to write several times in years past: What would happen to PHL, and by extension the regional economy, if US Airways were to merge with another airline, or be forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection again? There's been a lot of chatter lately about that among industry analysts and other talking and blogging heads (this blogging head excepted). Linda's story is rightly hypothetical because, as those she quotes point out, US Airways is not in any kind of merger talks nor is it in the same financial shape it was before its two previous trips to bankrupcy court.
The short answer today to the worst-case scenario is the same as it has been for years. The region's large population means that US Airways hub here is different from those that operate now or have operated over the years in smaller cities, including Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Memphis. Almost two-thirds of PHL's passengers are "O and D," airline parlance for origin and destination, meaning they start or end trips here. In some hubs, 80 percent of the customers are simply transferring between flights, something they could do at other hubs. That O and D traffic base would over time attract other airline service. Rebuilding international service would take longer, but even there, the big population would keep quite a bit of direct service intact, in my opinion.
Today's story includes thoughts from PHL acting director Mark Gale and a number of other experts on the topic. Read it all here.
The AP has a good story today on the National Transportation Safety Board's concern over the growing threat of bird strikes to airplanes. The NTSB reported on one deadly case in Oklahoma that didn't end like the landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January. Rather, two pilots and three passengers were killed after their plane hit a large pelican.
The board is meeting today to consider what more needs to be done to avoid bird strikes. Read the artricle at this link.
Here's a news brief from this morning's Inquirer about concern at Standard & Poors about US Airways' credit rating. PHL's big carrier and its subsidiaries have been placed on credit watch with negative implications because of concern about its future cash flow generation and liquidity. Read more here.

In the midst of World War II, Jan Karski was dispatched by the Polish Underground to inform Western Allies about the reign of terror in German Nazi-occupied Poland and to seek intervention. Karski's courageous mission, against all odds in the darkest of hours, qualifies him as Humanity's Hero.
The Foundation grew out of the successful Jan Karski US Centennial Campaign, which placed Dr. Karski's name in nomination for the Presidential Medal of Freedom in December 2011. President Obama awarded the posthumous Medal on May 29, 2012 at a White House ceremony.
Google Cultural Institute partners with institutions to host the world's cultural treasures online. One of its first virtual exhibitions commemorates the heroism of Jan Karski. Information about his family, childhood and education are included in this intriguing historical treasure trove, so be sure to dive in!

Corpus Christi Hispanic chamber, SBA strengthen alliance to help small business owners
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two major boosters of business development have officially strengthened their partnership to help the region's small business owners.
The Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Small Business Administration inked a strategic alliance memorandum Wednesday.
The agreement blends their respective resources and links small business owners to helpful programs and services.
Chamber President and CEO Rosie Collin said those resources include local entities such as the Small Business Development Center at Del Mar College and SCORE, the administration-supported group that advises new entrepreneurs on ways to develop their businesses.
The alliance builds on an already established relationship, said Yolanda Olivarez, regional administrator for the Small Business Association.
"We always have been having a great dialogue, but this puts it in writing," Olivarez said.
Many entrepreneurs and small business owners often aren't aware of the wealth of resources available to them, chamber Chairwoman Cathy Colomo Riojas said.
"I tell them this is the starting point, this is where you need to go, and these are the tools you need," Riojas said of new business owners she meets.
The partnership gives both groups a larger platform to reach more small businesses, especially those that are minority and women-owned, Riojas said.
The Hispanic chamber has worked to promote economic growth in the region since 1938.
The Small Business Administration lent $56 million in loans to businesses in the Coastal Bend and Rio Grande Valley during the past year.
The administration has signed similar agreements with other local business groups across the country.

"Unfortunately, men tend not to talk about ED with their partner, their doctor or their friends," said Michael A. Perelman, Ph.D., co-director of the Human Sexuality Program at the Payne Whitney Clinic at NY Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. "As a psychologist and sexual medicine specialist, I would encourage any man who thinks he might have ED to talk with a healthcare professional to learn about available treatment options."
Patient-Physician Communication Helps Dispel ED Myths
A majority (88%) of men with ED surveyed recognize that ED is a treatable condition, and the survey revealed that men who discuss ED with a doctor are less likely to believe some of the common myths associated with ED treatments.
-- Approximately seven in 10 (68%) men with ED surveyed who have spoken with their doctor about ED do not believe that erections occur without any sexual stimulation when using prescription ED drugs, compared to just a third (33%) of those who have not spoken with their doctor.
-- Sixty-five percent of men with ED surveyed who have spoken with a doctor about ED recognize that ED drugs do not immediately take effect after a few minutes, compared to only 41 percent of men who have not spoken to a doctor.
About ED
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to attain and or maintain erection to perform satisfactory sexual intercourse.(1) Although it is estimated that ED affects more than 30 million men in the United States, only a small fraction seek counseling or treatment.(2) Factors that can contribute to ED include high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, smoking, stress or anxiety, depression, low testosterone levels and some types of prescription drugs.(3,4)
About the Survey
A total of 300 interviews were completed online between April 22 and
April 29, 2008 among men who reported that they were age 45 and older,

Also there is something different between funded criticism against an aspect on the US and just blatantly busting out hate paroles. Again and again I hear that every war the US is involved in ends bad that us is just after oil etc.
This has no solid base of proof.
The US is more than just war. The US is a way of life (the American way of life) it's an idea a destiny and God's own nation.
So many children have tears in their eyes talking about their biggest dream is to move to the US. The US magically attracts people from all over the world who want to breath a bit of freedom.
also contrary to many europeans, for the us democracy is not only an empty word, but has real, deeper meanings.
just look at the neowin forum and how they work with warning points, i heard once you can even challenge them, and how they let an open debate prosper and develop.
europeans have no feeling for this. been banned in so many forums, they just throw you out for nothing, ignore a debate, are not open for a discussion. that's also why europeans are much more in danger to - again - falling in the arms of a dictator promising them the bluest sky, while us americans are much more down to earth and settled.
Most ridiculous thing anyone's ever wrote here. And I thought you said you're not a US citizen?

Well worth the long trek here. A pretty fishing village that not too many packages reach. I know Direct Greece have accommodation here.(2009 update, none of the major English packages travel here now.)
Sigri is one of those places at the end of the line, indeed a long line.
There is a Turkish Castle, the isle of Nissiopi and a pleasant sandy beach. If you proceed northwards from Sigri, there are some fantastic beaches, one of them had a dead tank on it in 1989. There were no facilities on these in those days.
Sigri is famous for it's 20 million year old petrified forest, the only one in Europe and larger than Arizona's, at 37,000 acres. It extends to Eressos.The pine, beech and sequoias were fossilised after being buried in volcanic ash. Most of the trees are still covered and not visible.
There is a Natural History Museum where info can be found on the forest.
There are rooms to rent and a reasonable choice of eateries.
When we were here, we were the only people on the beach and almost seemed like the only visitors to Sigri!!
A definite return visit possibility.
2009 update. As promised, we returned. Still a very sleepy little place but more places to stay, including a hotel. All of the new buildings were on the ouskirts, leaving the village untouched. So untouched most of the tavernas were closed and only appeared to open in the evening.
We parked on the harbour front, where there are public toilets with water available.We visited the castle which was not overly exciting and later went for a drink at the Australia Taverna. Sat down and when asked if we just wanted a drink, were directed next door. Never had that happen before. Odd.
Attempted to go to Fanoromeni beach and when we were nearly there, the road was closed for re-surfacing or something. I guess there may have been another way but we didn't know of it. We had also tried the rough road out of Sigri south, to some isolated beaches. Along here are many parts of fossilised trees and marked walking trails through the Petrified Forset Park. Once again, the roughness of the road folied us, so this corner of the island remains to us undiscovered.Related to:
- Castles and Palaces
- National/State Park
- Beaches
Skala Eressou
Skala Eressou is the biggest? resort on the west. 94 kms. from Mytilini it's quite a slog but well worth it. It's lovely beach is nearly 3 kms. in length. It was pretty deserted when we were there.
Popular with all nationalities. Lesvos attracts lesbians but in particular, Sala Eressou seems to be a pilgrimage for them. The village is built over Ancient Eressos, where the reputedly lesbian poet Sappho was born.
Most of the beachside restaurants are built on stilts above the beach. The promenade is pedestrianised with more eating places edging on to the beach.
There is a P.O. and a ATM. as well as travel agencies.
4 kms. inland is the working town of Eressos.
Re-visited in May 2009. Still nice but much more up-market and cosmopolitan. Seemed to be more places to eat and certainly to stay. The beach had quite a few people on, as well. To be honest, we didn't recognise parts and we couldn't find Maria's rooms where we had stayed in 1989.Related to:
- Gay and Lesbian
- Family Travel
- Beaches
Skala Kalloni
A pleasant enough little resort in 1989. Very much the Brits v Dutch, in those days.
A square with the kafeneon and a few eating places. A long beach with very shallow water as it's the Gulf of Kalloni. Many crabs and seawater creatures in the shallows.I found some beautiful shells whilst walking along the beach. The further west you went on the beach, the wilder the shore became. Along here were wetlands, popular with the ornothologists.
In those days, Kalloni was renowned for it's sardines.
Accommodation hard to find - mostly block-booked.
Souvlaki place.
About an hour and a half from airport.
Re-visited in May 2009 and the coast was far more developed and the town had more shops and restaurants. It was still pretty sleepy in May but I know it attracts the Brits in hoardes in high season. We stopped in the sleepy square and had a beer, which on the menu board was priced at €2 but we were charged €2.5. We let it go as this seemed to be the standard price in most places on the island. Interestingly, the cafeneon we used to drink at in 1989 was not open, nor did it look as though it would.Related to:

petrified forest
Ιt was created 16-21 millions of years ago when volcano activity was quite frequent in the island.Lava had covered quickly boles, boughs and leaves helping in that way the physical conservation of the materials .Today the corrosion of the volcanic rocks had created breath taking boles that are 20m long and their diameter approaches 3m
the tree of Theofilos
Leaving Mytilene and on the road to Agiassos there is a place called Karini where there is a huge platanos tree and it is said that inside the tree the painter Theofilos spent some time of his life.In the pics here you can see that in the coffee place next to the platanos there are still some paintings of Theofilos on the walls - unfortunately they are not well conserved.
Agios Taxiarchis church
It is said that the picture of St.Taxiarchis was made from dust and blood.
Inside the new small church that it is situated just a few meters away of the monastery you can see through the agiographies on the walls the whole history of the monastery ( you can see some pics here )
the Theofilos museum
The museum is situated in Varia, a place just outside of Mytilene.The museum houses a great part of the job of the painter.Theofilos Chatzimichail was born and raised in Varia, after some years he went to Smirni and then to Pilion where he spent 30 years of his life.He returned to Lesvos to complete his work.He used to draw just in return for a meal.In the museum there are 86 paintings and their subject is about nature, history, muthology and folklore.
Castle of Mytilene
The castle of Mytilene - capital of the island - stands on the north part of the city.It is one of the largest castles in the mediterranean and it is said that it was built during the Byzantine empire but it took its final form grom Francisco Gatelouzo when he had the power. That period the castle was one of the most powerful castles.Related to:
- Castles and Palaces
Agiasos, traditional village.
This is a beautiful village located on mount Olympus of Lesvos!
Its market with the displays of ouzo and salted fish and honey and olive oil (the trademarks of the island) give a unique colour and the magnificent church in the center of the market is a must see of architecture.
Agios Raphail church
This monastery houses the relics of St.Raphail, St.Nicolas and St.Irene.
Inside the monastery there is still the earthenware jar where little Irene was burned alive

Hey Ladies,
I am so ready!!!
Here are symptoms.. I want to know if any of you had these with your baby or are having these.
Menstraul cramps that make you feel like you have to poo. Had them for 45 minutes and they are coming and going, but dont' need to poo all the time.
Braxton Hicks coming and going a lot
Tired..I have so much to do, but can't get myself out of bed to do it.
shooting pains in vagina
lower back pain here and there
Do you think this is early labor?? I'm sure this can last forever.
Due on May 28th
