Syrian Troops Begin to Withdraw from Lebanon
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Online NewsHour Special Report: The Israeli-Lebanon Peace Deal
- March 7, 2005: Update: Syria Announces Partial Lebanon Troop Pullback
- March 2, 2005: Imad Moustapha, Syrian ambassador to the United States, speaks about the mounting pressure on his country.
- Feb. 28, 2005: Experts assess the continued political turmoil within Lebanon and the increasing diplomatic pressure on Syria.
- Feb. 15, 2005: Two Syria experts discuss the assassination of former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Rafik al-Hariri.
GWEN IFILL: For more on continuing developments in Syria and Lebanon, we are joined by Flynt Leverett, senior fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution in Washington. He followed Middle East issues at the CIA, State Department and National Security Council from 1992 to 2003, and he is the author of the forthcoming book "Inheriting Syria: Bashar's Trial by Fire."
And Asad AbuKhalil, professor of political science at California State University at Stanislaus; born in Lebanon, he is now an American citizen. Flynt Leverett, you heard what the White House had to say today about this withdrawal, this phased withdrawal. They say they're having none of it. Is what we are seeing happening in Lebanon today with the Syrian forces the real deal?
FLYNT LEVERETT: I think that what Bashar al-Assad is doing is basically he is in a testing and bargaining mode. He is offering up a relatively minimalist agenda for meeting the conditions of the Taif accord that ended Lebanon's civil war in 1989.
He's going to gauge regional and international reaction to what he's doing right now. If he makes a judgment that he needs to offer more, he could do that.
But if on the other hand he thinks he is gotten enough international players away from the United States that he doesn't have to fear action in the Security Council or another severe international reaction, he may think that this is enough and he can get away with it.
GWEN IFILL: Professor AbuKhalil, the accord that Flynt Leverett was just talking about only called for the troops to be withdrawn as far as the Bekaa Valley not out of Lebanon entirely, is that enough?
ASAD ABUKHALIL: No, in fact, the accords, they say they should have been withdrawn back in 1992. And then the two governments should have met and then decided on the complete withdrawal of the forces from Lebanon.
But I don't think that Syria has any choice at this point not only because of mounting regional as well as international pressure especially by the United States and by the French.
But I think they can also capitalize on Lebanese internal divisions. And this is one big story that is missing from so much of the US coverage here. Lebanese are deeply divided people.
There are demonstrators in downtown Beirut, but there are many Lebanese especially the Shiites, I'm not talking about Hezbollah only, the Shiites constitute something like 40-50 percent of the population. And they've been sitting on the sidelines.
And there are some even elements within the Maronite community like in northern Lebanon who for their own domestic reasons may not wish Syria to leave Lebanon. And if the Syrians were to withdraw from Lebanon completely, the dynamics of Lebanese politics are such that they may become quite explosive.
And that's something that we see the signs of. And when people make comparisons to Ukraine I say that Lebanon today looks more like 1975 on the eve of the Lebanese civil war.
GWEN IFILL: So you think that there is a secret or not-so-well-covered pro-Syrian sentiment that is yet — is not necessarily in favor of this withdrawal?
ASAD ABUKHALIL: You see it's not sentiments. I mean Lebanese are divided over all issues. You'll find them united that you don't find much Lebanese who are admirers of the Syrian political system.
I mean you won't even find admirers of the Syrian political system inside Syria itself, but for their own selfish domestic reasons many Lebanese have in the past and are willing in the future to drag outside powers– be it Syria or the United States or Israel or France– on their own side.
This is why it's very ironic. Some of same voices in the coalition today of the opposition including the assassinated prime minister of Lebanon, Hariri himself, were part of the apparatus of power that was set up by Syria for their own interest in Lebanon.
Those same forces today while they are calling for sovereignty of Lebanon are willing for the sovereignty to be violated by somebody else besides Syria.
Similarly on the other side it is not that they are happy about Syrian political domination in Lebanon, but they are very distrustful of their other fellow Lebanese factions and for that reason they are willing to capitalize on the perpetuation of Syrian influence in the country.
GWEN IFILL: Let's talk about that Syrian influence and where it stands right now Mr. Leverett. Is Bashar al-Assad weakened by this agreement today to withdraw and if so is the United States helped by his new position, whatever position he is in?
FLYNT LEVERETT: I think the ultimate impact of what we saw today is going to depend on a couple of things.
First of all, if Bashar is able to affect a withdrawal in a relatively slow, in a phased way, and he is able to maintain other levers of Syrian influence in Lebanon such as the intelligence presence, economic ties, all kinds of ties that Syria has to Lebanon; if he's able to maintain those and maintain Syria's ability to influence events in Lebanon in the face of this international pressure, I think he will emerge actually as the much stronger figure.
If, on the other hand, he is judged by people around him to have made a misstep or to have squandered Syria's ability to influence events on the ground in Lebanon, I think he will be seen as a much weaker figure and there could be consequences to that for him at home.
GWEN IFILL: And let me follow up with something he said to Time Magazine in an interview. He said, "Please send this message. I am not Saddam Hussein. I want to cooperate." What kind of message is that that he's sending? What does he actually fear?
FLYNT LEVERETT: This is a very high-profile version of a message that he has been sending through various channels, visiting congressmen, other visiting Americans, foreign intermediaries, a message he's been trying to send to the administration for some time.
That he wants to have what he would consider an authoritative strategic dialogue with the United States and that is something which up until this point the Bush administration has not been willing to do with him. I think you're seeing a very high-profile version of that message in the interview you referred to.
GWEN IFILL: Professor AbuKhalil, one of the things we have heard is that if Syria withdraws, what happens next in Lebanon? What about the role of political groups such as Hezbollah, which are considered by the West to be terrorist groups, but which have a very strong presence right now in Lebanon?
ASAD ABUKHALIL: That's right. And they also have their own bloc within the Lebanese parliament. But even outside of Hezbollah there are some Lebanese factions that for their own sectarian interests are aligned at this point temporarily with Syria.
And they may in fact solely defy that alliance if they fear rightly or wrongly that the United States or France are pushing their own groups and factions at their own expense.
And I think there is no doubt that the president of Syria is in a far weaker position today and the announced deal today is not going to satisfy his critics, not in Lebanon and not outside.
But I think perhaps he is not the one who is running the country anymore and his pleas to the United States, like in Time Magazine, may wind up hurting him if the ruling elite in Syria itself, the ruling military elite may decide that he has gone too far in appeasing the West without any rewards.
GWEN IFILL: Let me ask you a question there. Let me just pick up on something you just said. If he's not running Syria anymore, who is?
ASAD ABUKHALIL: I think it's very likely that perhaps there are some people within the military and the secret intelligence who are wielding tremendous influence especially if they find that within few years he's been able to squander what are perceived in the Syrian government to be tremendous advantages and assets that his father has accumulated over the years.
But I think he may capitalize on two things in his favor. The first one is the propensity of the United States to commit blunders in Lebanon, which is something the United States has done in the past, especially in the 1980s.
And second thing that may go to his favor is the ability of the Lebanese, nay, the desire of the Lebanese, to engage in fights and conflicts with one another. And that is something that could happen.
And if the Syrians withdraw completely from Lebanon and the United States may find itself in a much more difficult position, especially if Hezbollah becomes unrestrained especially on the South Lebanon border, and in that occasion, the Americans could not find an address to go to Syria to account for whatever goes on in Lebanon.
For these reasons it seems to me there is too much of an eager jubilation here in the United States, perhaps in an attempt to validate Bush's doctrine without knowing the unintended consequences. We've seen unintended consequences in Iraq.
The ones in Lebanon, given its history, could be far more lethal. We also have to learn from the lessons of Lebanese history whereby outside powers could continue to wield tremendous influence without having any troops there. The Egyptian government probably ran Lebanon in the 1950s without having a single soldier in Lebanese territory.
GWEN IFILL: Well, let me ask Mr. Leverett about that. Are there unintended consequences down the road that the US or France or any other outsiders should be aware of here?
FLYNT LEVERETT: Yes, I would agree with Professor AbuKhalil. If actors in Lebanon, Hezbollah first among them, but certainly not the only one, see that things are moving in an direction that is inimical to their interest, if the United States is seen to be trying to install a government in Beirut that's going to be from the perspective of the Arab street overly accommodating to Israel, there will be a backlash.
There will be a reaction of the sort that Professor AbuKhalil was describing. I think there is also an illusion on the part of some of the people in the administration and some of their champions outside the administration that if they push hard enough in Lebanon that you could bring down the entire Assad regime in Damascus.
But I think we've seen, if you bring down a regime without a very clear plan of what is going to happen in its aftermath, there are all kinds of unintended consequences that can flow from that.
And I think that the United States needs to think through very carefully what is the real dynamic on the ground in Lebanon, how it's best to manage that and what does that mean about the position we need to take towards Syria.
GWEN IFILL: Flynt Leverett and Asad AbuKhalil, thank you both very much for joining us.

Hudson River running at sunset, cabbage ideas and musings on salmonella-contaminated Pringles
- Smells like cabbage..
I'm back on the Couch to 5K plan. I did Week 2, Day 1 today after work before making my feralicious dinner. I took my run outside and ran along the Hudson River at sunset. Beautiful! It made me SO happy that spring is here.
Still trying to figure out what to do with my flathead cabbage. I'll use half next week for St. Patty's but still undecided on the rest of it.
I was looking at Oscar dresses during a quiet moment in the office and found this pre-award show detox plan from Oz Garcia, PhD, the nutrition specialist behind Heidi Klum's post-baby body and Hilary Swank's famously lean muscle in Million Dollar Baby. I've done Blueprint before (which made me curious about Organic Avenue). The plan sounds reasonable - I'd definitely consider before a wedding or something.
More recalls of everyday items...
And if you're looking for some inspiration for your 1000 sit-ups, here they are.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Matt Williams, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 01 July 2010 02:15PM
The agency was awarded the business without a pitch, and will now be responsible for creating a TV and online campaign, due to break later this year, that promotes the overall Which? brand.
Which? offers consumers product reviews and independent advice to help them make more considered shopping decisions.
The company provides its services through products, including magazines such as Which? Car, Which? Gardening and Which? Money, as well as books, such as The Good Food Guide 2010, iPhone apps and online portals.
Which? has not used an advertising agency in recent years. However, it has previously worked with Watson Phillips Norman, which was appointed to handle the brand's advertising in 2005.
Before WPN, the company worked with Rapier, which helped rebrand the company to Which? from the Consumers' Association in 2004.
Chris Gardener, the Which? commercial director, said: "MCBD stood out because of its creative approach and innovative ideas."

Geographic Range
Cricetus cricetus is found in Eurasia from Belgium to the Altai region of Siberia.
- Biogeographic Regions
- palearctic
The habitat of the common hamster includes steppe, agricultural land and riverbanks. Burrows are usually in loam of loess soils in the western part of the range.
- Terrestrial Biomes
- savanna or grassland
Physical Description
The fur is light brown on the back, white on the sides and black on the belly (hence the name black-bellied hamster). There is a wide range of variation, however, including both albino and melanistic animals. The small tail is mostly hairless. Cricetus has cheek pouches.
- Other Physical Features
- endothermic
- bilateral symmetry
The breeding season in Cricetus lasts from April to August. It is not clear if males are driven away by females after mating or if the pair remains together to raise the offspring. Females normally have two litters of 4-12 young per year, though captive animals are capable of reproducing every month. Gestation is 18-20 days long and birth weight is usually about 7 grams. Young are weaned at 3 weeks and attain adult size at 8 weeks. Female are sexually mature at 43 days.
- Key Reproductive Features
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- sexual
- Average lifespan
Status: captivity
- 2.0 years
- Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research
- Average lifespan
- Average lifespan
Status: wild
- 4.0 years
- Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research
- Average lifespan
Cricetus is a solitary, burrowing rodent. Burrow size is age and season dependent. Summer and fall burrows have tunnels constructed in a single plane, usually about 50 cm below the surface. In winter burrows can be as deep as 2 meters and have extra space for the large (90 kg) winter store of cereals and agricultural crops. Cricetus hibernates in the winter, although it wakes every 5-7 days to eat stored food. Activity is crepuscular during the spring, summer and fall. When it must swim, the common hamster inflates its cheek pouches with air for increased buoyancy. During large population movements indiuced by food shortages, common hamsters can cross large rivers.
- Key Behaviors
- motile
Communication and Perception
Food Habits
The diet is diverse and includes grains, beans, lentils, roots, green parts of plants, insect larvae and frogs.
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
The common hamster is trapped in some parts of its range for skins.
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
In the past Cricetus was considered a serious agricultural pest because of its impact on corn and other crops. Modern agricultural techniques have diminished its impact.
Conservation Status
- IUCN Red List
Least Concern
More information
David L. Fox (author), University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
- Palearctic
living in the northern part of the Old World. In otherwords, Europe and Asia and northern Africa.
- bilateral symmetry
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Synapomorphy of the Bilateria.
- chemical
uses smells or other chemicals to communicate
- endothermic
animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature. Endothermy is a synapomorphy of the Mammalia, although it may have arisen in a (now extinct) synapsid ancestor; the fossil record does not distinguish these possibilities. Convergent in birds.
- motile
having the capacity to move from one place to another.
- native range
the area in which the animal is naturally found, the region in which it is endemic.
- sexual
reproduction that includes combining the genetic contribution of two individuals, a male and a female
- tactile
uses touch to communicate
- tropical savanna and grassland
A terrestrial biome. Savannas are grasslands with scattered individual trees that do not form a closed canopy. Extensive savannas are found in parts of subtropical and tropical Africa and South America, and in Australia.
- savanna
A grassland with scattered trees or scattered clumps of trees, a type of community intermediate between grassland and forest. See also Tropical savanna and grassland biome.
- temperate grassland
A terrestrial biome found in temperate latitudes (>23.5° N or S latitude). Vegetation is made up mostly of grasses, the height and species diversity of which depend largely on the amount of moisture available. Fire and grazing are important in the long-term maintenance of grasslands.

Cherilyn Fry
I wish for you to remain a bright and shining light
full in the embrace of love
and comforted by those that have gone ahead and
those yet to follow...
I wish for you that you have the chance to dance with the dolphins
to be at play with them as they swirl and jump
within the freedom that allows them to
express the joy that radiates outwards...
I wish for you that you find the peace of mind that stays
and the courage to stay true to your path in endless ways
so that one day you will wake up to find you
have it all
what's more
you have more than answered the call-
I wish for you the sun and the moon
and each lovely season as they rotate around
in tune as is a symphony
that plays a wonderful rendition of an "ode to joy'
And last but not least, I wish you the image of a child's smile
and a little giggle to keep you warm inside for awhile
for it is the purest of experiences that
will help you see
what it means to be human
and simply what it means just to be.

2015 AFC Schools (Individual) Championships
The AFC School Fencer Championships offers the opportunity for school-age fencers to represent their State in a representative level competition.
Competition Format
Each State is permitted to nominate a maximum of eight fencers in each event, and each fencer is only permitted to compete in one event. Each event consists of an individual competition immediately followed by a team competition.
There are two age categories:
Intermediate – students up to the third year of secondary school in their respective states
Senior – open to any school student
This means that States can send a total of 32 athletes in each weapon and gender (16 in each category). The two categories will be fenced as separate events, unless there are insufficient competitors, in which case the fields will be combined but separate medals will be awarded.

- Equipment or changes to equipment not submitted for SEMI Commission approval (earlier version of PBT sabre mask),
- Equipment that does not work perfectly in all situations and therefore does not comply with FIE Rules (body wire with bayonet connection),
Will not be accepted during equipment controls at FIE competitions.
Subsequent Finding of the SEMI Commission (July 3 - click here)
Having completed the analysis of Leon Paul SR-71 Epee blades, those with dates marked 08.2012 to 06.2015 will no longer be accepted at FIE events. Having completed the analysis of Leon Paul V Epee blades, any 08.2012 to 06.2015 blades without a serial number are suspended at FIE events. Other blades sold by Leon Paul are not affected.
Communication from the FIE to the AFF
The AFF has been in continual dialogue with the FIE on the matter of the bayonet body wires, and was provided with the following information late on 16 June by the FIE's Sport Director:
Body wires with this type of connection (bayonet) are not allowed at any kind of FIE competitions.
So to be clear:
- all kind of body wires with this type of connection irrespective of the manufacturer
- at any FIE competitions including the ones where there is no wireless fencing
are banned.
Consequences for Australian Fencers
Australian fencers planning on travelling and competing overseas should take careful note of the blanket ban on bayonet body wires at FIE events.
The AFF Executive has acted with the most recent information to hand, and pending a formal recommendation from the Tournament Management Commission has decided that:
* Bayonet body wires will not be banned at Australian Fencing Circuit tournaments (as this is a technical issue); and
* Leon Paul FIE Epee Blades (as described in the July 3 FIE Letter) will be banned at Australian Fencing Circuit tournaments, effective immediately (as this is a safety issue)
Fencers will note that Leon Paul has removed its FIE Epee blades from its online catalogue. The ban does not extend to epee blades which are manufactured by BF but sold by Leon Paul.
Updates from the Commonwealth Fencing Federation - June 2015
The CFF Technical Commission has decided, in the best interest and for the safety of all our competitors, to follow suit (regarding the FIE decision on Leon Paul dated epee blades) and also disallow their use at the forthcoming CFF Junior-Cadet Championships in Cape Town, South Africa. Therefore be advised that no weapon bearing these blades will be accepted at weapon check.
This decision does not extend to the bayonet connection body wires, also subject of a ban by the FIE, as CFF competitions do not make use of wireless apparatus and the issue is not safety-related.

How To Grow Amnesia Haze Indoors
Amnesia Haze General
Although Amnesia marijuana seeds might not get much recognition, they can still produce impressive plants and impressive highs. More people might be familiar with its forebears like Jack Herer and Skunk, but Amnesia is a strain that is unique and produces fantastic effects. This particular strain has won awards both for the high it produces and the overall beauty of the plant. If you're looking for something new and relaxing, this might be the strain for you.
Amnesia Haze Smoking Effects
With a name like Amnesia, you might expect the high to be one that really knocks you out, but that's actually the opposite of what Amnesia will do. It draws largely on its sativa-dominant roots to create a distinctly cerebral high that will make you both happier and potentially more talkative. It is, by its nature, an energetic strain—one that provides you with a more realized social acumen. The effects kick in within about 10 to 15 minutes, but they generally don't last that long. Thus, Amnesia marijuana seeds are ideal for those who need a boost, but don't need it for extended periods of time. Download my free marijuana grow bible at this link and learn to grow like a pro!
Amnesia Haze Plant Features
When pondering the purchase of Amnesia marijuana seeds, you'll want to know exactly what to expect. This award-winning strain is ideal not just for the high it produces, but also for the aesthetically-pleasing way in which the plant grows. The lime-green buds tend to be covered in THC crystals and little orange hairs by the time harvest comes around. It's a relatively simple plant to grow for beginners, and it flowers in about 9 to 10 weeks. It can reach heights of up to 40 to 60 inches, although the indoor varieties tend to be a bit on the shorter end of that range.
The real key here is the overall yield. The amnesia strain produces about 21 ounces per 10 square feet. Depending on the size of your garden, that could produce quite a bit of bud. The 17% THC content also makes it a potent strain for any smoker. You can also purchase feminized Amnesia marijuana seeds to increase the number of females you get in a crop.
Amnesia Haze Medicinal Use
Because of the euphoric tendencies found in the Amnesia strain, many patients use it for treating depression. It's also ideal for treating stress-related issues like anxiety. It has been shown to effectively reduce social anxiety as well. Amnesia also acts as a general pain reliever and even has indications for chronic migraines. Other issues that it can help with include loss of appetite and nausea.

Robert is true to his word. I had a germination problem with a certain strain. Being a professional gardener, I knew it wasn't me. There is always the chance of an under performing "batch". I wrote to ILGM, and without any hassle, they were replaced. The new batch has performed as originally expected! You can trust Robert and ILGM!

Presenter: Catherine Woteki
DRI development is an important scientific undertaking. Future activities can be informed by the conceptual evolution and changes in science that have occurred over nearly 100 years of establishing dietary recommendations for populations. Moreover, it is important to recognize that there is a long tradition of providing guidance on a health promoting diet. Scientists as early as the late 1700s appear to have included concerns about health in advice to the U.S. Congress concerning the creation of the Navy Ration Law. Later, in the 1800s, the U.S. Army Surgeon proposed limiting fat intake and eating a balanced diet; at about the same time the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) highlighted the use of a balanced diet to promote health.
Government recommendations for what constitutes a health-promoting diet can be readily traced to the World War I era, when the British Royal Society produced recommendations for food requirements for populations under stress during wartime. During the period 1925–1937, the Health Organization of the League of Nations began to set estimated requirements for specific vitamins and minerals. In 1933, dietary standards for food programs were proposed by both the British Medical Association and the USDA. An enormous conceptual evolution occurred from 1917 to 1937, with dietary recommendations changing from a focus on food for starvation relief to standards for programs to maintain and improve the health of the population.
A second conceptual evolution was the move from basing recommendations on observations of usual food intake to using the emerging scientific knowledge of the needs for essential nutrients and energy to provide specific nutrient recommendations. From 1941—when the Roosevelt administration asked the National Research Council (NRC) to recommend levels of intake of essential nutrients to maintain the health of the population during wartime—until 1989, 10 editions of the values (called Recommended Dietary Allowances [RDAs]) were issued.
Although the focus was on essential nutrients and establishing estimates of intake to maintain health, concepts of disease prevention were addressed in editions of the RDAs as early as 1958 (NRC, 1958) when a relationship between dietary fat and coronary artery disease mortality was noted. The 1964 edition (NRC, 1964) recommended that adults moderately reduce

text: on Dec 7, 2013 @ 3:22 AMDec 7, 2013 @ 3:22 AM PublishedDenver Broncos - TeamReportNFL Team Report - Denver Broncos - INSIDE SLANTUntil the Denver Broncos show they can win a game in extreme winter conditions, the questions about their effectiveness outdoors in the playoffs with quarterback Peyton Manning at the controls will continue to fester.That's what makes Sunday such an opportunity -- even though Broncos coach John Fox thinks the Broncos' woes in frigid conditions are overstated, given that both of the losses in question -- a 38-35 defeat to Baltimore in last January's playoffs and the 34-31 loss at New England on Nov. 24 -- came in overtime and were more the result of gaffes by others as anything Manning did or did not do."We could have won either game," said Fox. "My point is if we won them, I don't think we're having this conversation. We very easily could have won them."But the Broncos didn't. Manning's season lows for yardage, completion percentage, yards per attempt and passer rating all came at New England, when the temperature at kickoff was 22 degrees and the winds gusted to well over 30 miles per hour. Further, he is now 0-2 as Denver's quarterback when the kickoff temperature is below freezing, compared with 23-4 in all other games -- including 21-1 since Week 6 of last year.Sunday's temperature at kickoff is forecast to be between 15 and 18 degrees, which would make it one of the five coldest home games the Broncos have ever played -- and means that Manning will wear a pair of gloves to compensate."It's just part of the adjustment I've kind of had to make," Manning said. "I've said that I've had to make a lot of changes in this point in my career. I'm kind of coming off an injury and with a different team."It's part of the adjustment that I've made and tried to adjust and still working through it kind of each time that I wear it."Manning has worn gloves in other games and flourished. On a 55-degree day at Kansas City last Sunday, he donned the gloves and lit up the Chiefs for five touchdowns and a season-high 11.5 yards per attempt. And while the Broncos lost to Baltimore in 13-degree weather 11 months ago, he still completed 65.1 percent of his 43 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns against a pair of interceptions.But until the final result of a cold-weather game is different, doubts will persist -- and opponents like the Titans will try and gain a psychological advantage, even though they hail from warmer cities than Denver."Well, if it means it will help us, then I'm all for it," said Titans coach Mike Munchak.But Munchak later tempered his sentiments that a cold, snowy day would help his team."A team that scores as many points as they do, you would think that may have an effect and slow them down a tad," Munchak said. "I don't know necessarily if that will matter a whole lot, unless we use it to our advantage."The Broncos escaped the chilly conditions in Denver for Wednesday's practice by retreating to an indoor all-sports facility a mile away, but are expected to practice outside Thursday and/or Friday in temperatures that hover in the single digits."We're going to have plenty of opportunities to practice in the weather this week according to the weather report," Fox said. "'Arctic blast' has kind of a unique sound to it."And it's a sound and fury that the Broncos might hear again in January, so being forced to practice and play in it now cannot hurt.SERIES HISTORY: 37th regular-season meeting. Titans lead series, 21-14-1. Denver has won three of the last four. The most notable meeting between the two teams was on Jan. 4, 1992, when John Elway led "The Drive II," a 12-play, 87-yard march in the final 2:07 to a David Treadwell field goal and a 26-24 win over the then-Houston Oilers in the divisional playoffs.-----------------------------------------------NFL Team Report - Denver Broncos - NOTES, QUOTESDenver Broncos coach John Fox will be on the sidelines Sunday when the Broncos play the Tennessee Titans, Fox said on Friday.Fox, who returned to active duty as head coach on Monday after missing nearly a month following aortic heart valve replacement surgery on Nov. 4, had said earlier in the week he was not sure whether he would be on the sidelines or in the press box for Sunday's game.Fox ended that uncertainty by declaring he would occupy his customary spot on the sidelines."I feel really good about where I'm at physically and all that-so do the medical people," Fox said Friday. "That's why we've made that decision. Basically got really three good days: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."The Broncos went 3-1 under interim head coach Jack Del Rio.--Cornerback Champ Bailey's return to the starting lineup in Kansas City last week did not see him immediately return to a full workload. He played just 30 of 72 possible snaps and was standing on the sideline with his helmet off during the Chiefs' attempt at a game-tying drive.Coach John Fox wouldn't commit Friday to Bailey playing against the Tennessee on Sunday."I think I got to the point where I knew I needed to shut it down. That was the decision we made and we lived with it," Bailey said of the Chiefs game.But the intention was not to have the perennial Pro Bowl cornerback play extensively in his first game after missing the previous four games with a sprained foot that he initially suffered Aug. 17 and aggravated on Oct. 20 at Indianapolis, his second game back from the injury after missing Weeks 1-5.His foot is better, but it won't be 100 percent this season."I guarantee that won't happen," he said. "I know I won't be. That is something I'll have to live with. I can't remember a year that I've been 100 percent healthy. It is just another thing to deal with."But Bailey does not believe the injury will require offseason surgery."It is a thing that has healed pretty good," he said. "I'm just not confident in it yet. That's pretty much what it boils down to."--The records of the Titans and Broncos might be reversed if quarterback Peyton Manning had chosen in March 2012 to return to the state where he played his college football. If Tennessee had him, the last two seasons of quarterback instability might have been avoided, and it's possible the Titans would be the team in this game contending for the AFC's top seed."I'm glad they don't, because we've got him," deadpanned Broncos coach John Fox.The Titans pursued Manning heavily and watched a private workout in Knoxville, Tenn. during the courtship process. The Broncos and 49ers also had private workouts with Manning, held at Duke University.Manning chose the Broncos -- but it wasn't an easy choice."You kind of almost want to go to each team for a little bit," Manning said. "Go play here for a year, go play here for a little bit. But you've got to make one decision."The process wore on Manning -- and the teams involved. Titans coach Mike Munchak noted this week that his team's free-agency plan for 2012 was affected by the wait on Manning's decision, as the quarterback would have chewed up $18 million under anyone's salary cap."You felt a little bit squeezed by the teams. I really didn't like having some teams kind of in limbo based on what I was doing," Manning said. "I did not enjoy that, with the draft coming up and teams having made decisions."BY THE NUMBERS: 5.2 -- Yardage per carry for the Broncos the last two weeks, well above the 3.6 yards-per-carry average amassed in Weeks 1-11.QUOTE TO NOTE: "I don't know the total; I've only been around him two years. The thing that probably p---es me off more than anything, is the fact that I don't want anybody else as my quarterback. And I'm going to go in with him every Sunday, and it's a great feeling to have. When you've got him back there, you know that your chances of winning are pretty good. And when you don't have a guy like that -- and I've been in that spot a lot, and it sucks. You know (that) you walk in there, and you don't have a shot. So I'll take him any day of the week." -- Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase, on the notion that quarterback Peyton Manning struggles in cold weather-----------------------------------------------NFL Team Report - Denver Broncos - STRATEGY AND PERSONNELINJURY IMPACT--QB Peyton Manning returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's work. He has not practiced on a Wednesday since Oct. 20. He is expected to play against the Titans.--CB Champ Bailey practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday. He played his first game since Week 7 last Sunday and expects to play again this week.--DL Derek Wolfe did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was hospitalized over the weekend after suffering what was later called "seizure-like symptoms." Wolfe is still being evaluated to determine the cause of the symptoms. No timetable for his return has been set.--DL Malik Jackson was limited in practice Wednesday with a knee problem, but had a full practice of work Thursday. Jackson is being counted upon to fill the void created by the injury to Wolfe.--TE Julius Thomas practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, but had a full practice of work Thursday. He has missed the last two games with a knee injury. Until Thursday, all of his work had been limited.--KR/PR Trindon Holliday did not practice Wednesday or Thursday injuring his shoulder against Kansas City on Sunday.--TE Joel Dreessen did not practice Wednesday, but like Manning, he has been held out of Wednesday practices frequently this season. He returned to the field Thursday. Dreessen had two knee surgeries this summer, leading to the Broncos' mid-week caution.--RB Knowshon Moreno saw limited work in Wednesday's practice but was upgraded to full work Thursday. Moreno bruised his ankle against New England, but played a week later at Kansas City.--CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, but returned to full work Thursday. He injured his shoulder on the final play before halftime against New England and was inactive at Kansas City.--WR Demaryius Thomas practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday, but is expected to play against Tennessee. Thomas injured his shoulder in the first quarter at Kansas City, but returned and caught a 77-yard pass, his longest since Week 1.PLAYER NOTES--WR Wes Welker needs just one touchdown to set a new career scoring high, but is on pace for 92 receptions, which would mark just his second sub-100-catch season in the last six years. Welker has become more of a red-zone threat than in recent years, but has seen fewer overall targets as Peyton Manning has effectively spread around the football.--CB Chris Harris has played more than any Broncos defensive back this season, as injuries have worn down the secondary all year. Harris has 58 total tackles; no other Broncos cornerback has more than 29.--DT Terrance Knighton did not see his workload increase with the season-ending hip injury to defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson. The biggest issue, he noted, is the communication between him and replacement defensive tackles Mitch Unrein and Sylvester Williams. Knighton said the communication between himself and Vickerson took place without words, and that it will "take time" for a similar level of communication with him and Unrein and Williams.--RG Louis Vasquez continues to keep a clean sheet against opposing pass rushers. The free-agent pickup is the only member of the Broncos' starting offensive line who has yet to allow a sack this season.GAME PLAN:The aggressive history of Tennessee's Gregg Williams' defenses in his years as a coordinator makes protecting Peyton Manning the highest priority. The Broncos might use some more two-tight end formations, as they favored last week, to keep Manning's pocket pristine and also provide more support for the running game, which has flourished with a 200-yard game from Knowshon Moreno at New England and Montee Ball's first career 100-yard game at Kansas City. This would also set up the play-action game, which Denver used to devastating effect in the win over the Chiefs and would like to unleash again against the Titans.MATCHUPS TO WATCH:--Broncos LBs Danny Trevathan and Wesley Woodyard vs. Titans RB Chris Johnson -- This year, Johnson has not had the kind of spectacular runs for which he is renowned, and he has just three runs of longer than 10 yards in the Titans' last nine games. But he still represents perhaps the biggest upset threat, especially given the Broncos' recent weakness against the run; the Broncos have allowed 4.7 yards per carry the last four games after permitting just 3.4 yards per carry in the first eight.--Broncos OL Zane Beadles and Chris Clark vs. Titans DT Jurrell Casey -- Casey has emerged as one of the league's most effective interior pass rushers, and the Titans could try and line him up opposite Beadles, who has struggled against the pass rush this year. With Casey, who has eight sacks, and weak-side linebacker Zach Brown, who has four sacks, the Titans might try to overload the left side of the Broncos line in an attempt to pressure Manning.

PHILADELPHIA - OCTOBER 22: Daniel Paille #20 of the Boston Bruins skates against the Philadelphia Flyers on October 22, 2009 at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
The fourth line provided both of the Bruins' goals in regulation Monday night, with Daniel Paille netting the equalizer after the B's found themselves in a two-goal hole against the Senators. After gaining possession of the puck in front of his own net, Boston center David Krejci found a wide-open Paille, who had just left the bench, near center ice. The fourth-line winger skated into the Ottawa zone unopposed and beat Senators goalie Robin Lehner, tying the score at 2-2 in a game the Bruins would eventually win in a shootout. Check out the goal in the video above.

Tipperary Air Esprit Vest review - big pictures

Thanks LD, you are the man.
Does it restrict motion or get in the way at all? How about on the shoulders, can you get into a tuck at all while wearing it? Do the shoulder pieces in your jacket still fit properly when worn underneath? What about wearing it over the top of tighter-fitting stuff?
I've been back and forth with Davies O'Dell recently regarding their new Forcefiled rib/torso piece, and they have had some serious questions about the ergonomics of such equipment and manufacturing something they consider wearable and apporpriate for motorcyclists while still trying to meet the most apporpriate levels of force transmssion for the ribs/chest. I've brought up the Beta2000 standard requirements, as well as the simple CE levels with them, and they have now apparently hired-on Paul Varnsverry to consult about it. Right now they say their new front torso protector only provides down to 15.8kN at the 50J CE 16212-2 impact energy level, and they are obviously hitting the limits with that, because they're trying the approach that the CE testing provides more severe conditions due to the bars and anvils used which are not flexible like the human rib cage from which the levels of force in the medical research have been extrapolated from. So, basically they are trying to justify not being able to meet the stricter levels of EN1621-2 or BETA Level 3, of the thicker/bulkier horse riders protectors as of right now. However, they are trying, and are aware of the fact that more of the mc riding community is more aware of these concerns and prefomance values. Varnsverry seems legitiamte in his expertise, but his new relationship with T-Pro may not allow him to be forthright in regards to that particular product or issues anymore. I'm glad to see them seeking outside consult from the leading expert in the filed, but I am a bit disappointed that he now seems to be under obligation to defend there moves, regardless of whether they are entriely correct at this point. We shall see how it all pans out. Hopefully there wil lbe one more feasible option in the T-Pro piece soon, and perhaps it will be an even more ergonomically functional piece in the end.
One other thing to note from the pics is that the Knox CE backpad from your riding jacket is not an EN1621-2 piece, but a 1621-1 piece, so the size requirments have likely been completely ignored by that piece as a proper motorcyclist back protector marked to EN1621-2(level 1 or 2), as well as the stricter force transmssion requirements for that standard. It looks entriely too small to pass EN1621-2 in any size garment, except maybe XXS.

….Seeking Substance
...Simply a down to earth woman who is truly passionate, romantic to the core, fun to be around, 100% sincere, warm, kind and generous seeks the same in her mate. Please be SINCERE above all else and honest about your objectives…we're all here seeking something/someone for our own specific ideas of what we want in a partner. Handsome, charming, refined, well-spoken and able to engage in witty and intelligent discourse are a few other qualities & attributes that I find incredibly appealing. Now I must be blunt since the online sensibility is often one of delusion and deceit. Jaded--not, just honest and direct: *My preference is for a man who resides in NYC. *RIFF RAFF, geriatrics, manboys and guys who use 'lol' in their texts need NOT apply! *If you are 60 y/o, this is NOT "just slightly over my age requirement"!...Yes, you are a lovely individual with great qualities, and I'm sure you are right for someone, but that someone is NOT me, so please don't fool yourself, you're definitely NOT fooling me! :). *Your age is calculated by subtracting the year you were born from the year that we are currently in--it is NOT the age you were in the photos many of you LOVE to post online! :) *If you are GU (geographically undesirable), out of shape, a smoker, incapable of forming and conveying coherent thoughts, do not speak what qualifies as ENGLISH, are an alcoholic or a recovering one, currently married, separated, a commitment-phobe, or conveniently devoid of profile photos, have a hidden profile----you also need NOT apply!!! ...To the man who truly has the potential for being a great match, I look forward to hearing from you :).

30 year old man | Richfield, MN, USA | Seeking women 24-30 within 30 miles
Since I don't exactly know what to say here,...
Since I don't exactly know what to say here, I'm just going to be honest and hope it works. I'm looking for a girl who's soul is compatible with mine. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. Looks and career aren't as important to me as a sense of humor and being kind to other people. I'm also hoping to find someone who's in the same place as I am. I enjoyed the college life more than most and don't feel like I should go out every weekend anymore. I've spent the past 5 years working 80 hrs a week to learn as much as possible, took the opportunity to travel around the world and meet lots of awesome people. I have a passion for the work I do, but I'm ready to settle down a bit and find someone awesome to do life with. I'm slightly awkward and goofy and can make anyone laugh. I embrace awkward and goofy, it's a piece I don't want to lose and I hope you have similar traits that you won't consider changing. Music feeds my soul, I like and listen to all types of music and you can usually tell my mood by the song I'm listening to. I'm far from perfect and work daily on changing the parts of me that I don't like. I have a passion for life and I feel like I'm just waking up and realizing my potential.

This classic Cuban cocktail is lightly sweet and incredibly refreshing! In addition to authenticity, the cane sugar adds texture (both to the drink and when muddling) and gives you tons of room for error -- over sweetening is quite a challenge compared to white sugar. An easy summer cocktail, the Mojito dates back to the 16th century (based on a cocktail known as El Draque, for Sir Francis Drake) and whose name derives from the word 'mojadito' meaning 'a little wet' (from Spanish 'mojado' for wet). Variations include adding fruit or fruit liquers, using Simple Syrup instead of sugar (to control sweetness), lemon instead of lime juice and a variety of other liquors: tequila (Mexican Mojito) or gin (British Mojito).
Classic Mojito
Yields 2 Cocktails
3 sprigs of fresh mint leaves + more for garnish
1 fresh lime, juiced
2 TBSP natural cane sugar
2 oz white rum
1 oz club soda
Into a cocktail shaker combine mint, sugar and lime. Muddle ingredients. Add rum and 1/3-1/2 cup ice. Cover and shake well to combine.
Pour mixture into highball glasses, add club soda and garnish with mint leaves. Voila!
Ginger Mojito
A must-try recipe using ginger ale and fresh ginger to spice things up!
Lychee Mojito
Asian meets Cuban in this delightful cocktail.
Watermelon Mojito
Super simple and utterly refreshing!
Strawberry Basil Mojito
The perfect summer cocktail - Italian + Cuban = delicious.
Mexican Mojito
If you're a tequila fan, this one is for you! Best results using white/silver (blanco) tequila - that is, unaged and mild in flavor.

Yum!! I have also made one with green apple rum and apple juice... another refreshing flavor combination. Perfect for summer!
