Countless attempts to sell the luxury four bedroom home owned by the gangster have proved fruitless.
Stevenson, 49, was hit with a confiscation order for almost £747,000 in 2008 after being jailed for money laundering but has still to produce £136,755.
His assets included designer watches, jewellery, a fleet of taxis and property in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.
His lawyers claim that the house in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, is his only remaining asset but no new buyer can be found for it.
Stevenson, who was released from jail last year, bought the home for £310,000 in 2005 but had dropped the price to offers of over £198,000.

Swiss income tax legislation is divided between federal and cantonal laws. Federal tax laws apply to the whole of Switzerland, but those of the cantons are only valid within their respective territories. In addition, municipalities and, in certain cases, churches have the jurisdiction to levy taxes. Switzerland has 26 cantons.
An individual's liability to taxation in Switzerland is based on the concept of residence. An individual resident in Switzerland is taxed on his/her worldwide income.
An individual who moves to Switzerland and takes up employment is subject to Swiss income taxes from his/her date of arrival. However, if a double tax treaty or Swiss internal law provides specifically for taxation by the country of source (such as on income from real estate situated abroad, income from a permanent establishment situated abroad), the exempt income is only taken into consideration for the purposes of determining the applicable tax rate (exemption with progression).
Non-residents are subject to taxation on certain categories of income from Swiss sources.
The multi-layered tax system means that there are no average tax rates. Taxes can only be calculated based on the specific circumstances of an individual based on the applicable cantonal and communal tax laws.
The maximum effective federal income tax rates rise to is 11.5 percent of taxable income. The various cantonal and municipal rates are also levied on a progressive scale, with a maximum combined rate (the highest of which is approximately 44 percent). In addition, social security taxes may be payable.
The official currency of Switzerland is the Swiss Franc (CHF).
Herein, the host country refers to the country to which the employee is assigned. The home country refers to the country where the assignee lives when he/she is not on assignment.

For better or for worse
The relationship between a teenage girl and her horse is like a marriage — for better and for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. Abby Milewski of Gill, MA was 11 years old when she first met a tall, liver-colored Appaloosa named Rex at the Pony Pals 4-H Club. It was love at first sight.
She schooled him from being a backyard horse, never having competed gymkhanas. Together, they learned what it took to train and show a willing and happy show competitor. She went on to buy him and a further half year of joy showing him at shows such as the Franklin County 4-H Horse Show, co-chaired by Kristie Tognarelli and Barbara Baldwin on Saturday, June 28. Milewski is now 14, and Rex is 19. [Read more…]

Managing weeds in hay fields
Hay is an important crop for livestock producers, and should be treated the same as any other crop when it comes to weed control. Weedy hay results in decreased yields, short-lived stands and potential harmful effects to livestock.
Weeds in forages compete for nutrients, light moisture and space. They reduce the quality of forage, and intake may be influenced. In a pasture setting, cattle often eat both desirable and undesirable species, and can possibly ingest harmful or injurious portions of plants. Some weeds are toxic when dried with hay, and although cattle can usually sort out weeds in straight dry hay, weeds contained in large bales that are chopped and mixed with a ration are nearly impossible to sort.

Our Charity of the Year
In 2015, we are delighted to be supporting Winston's Wish, as our official Charity of the Year.
As a day out enjoyed by many young families, it was important to us to choose a charity dedicated
to the welfare of children.
Winston's Wish helps young people re-adjust and rebuild their life after the death of a parent or sibling.
By providing professional assistance before, during and after bereavement, they help the child to better understand the nature of loss and offer practical support and guidance that many need in order to cope throughout the grieving process.
The West Sussex branch of Winston's Wish began
in September 2006 and has thrived ever since.
A great deal is planned for the partnership during the course of 2015 including group visits, support and fundraising. Winston's Wish will also have an ongoing presence at the Park and we look forward to working closely with the charity to help support the fantastic work they do.

MAC Double Dazzle Collection – Swatches
Here are swatches of all 18 dazzleglasses that debuted with Double Dazzle, which launched this morning in stores nationwide. I've noticed that it is not yet available online, and all I can tell you is there is often a disconnect between different areas of MAC. Your local store should have these out today (both of mine did), but I always recommend giving them a quick ring to double check before you waste your time going!
All but Goldyrocks, Stop! Look!, and Utterly Posh are permanent. However, please be advised that dazzleglasses will likely sell out for, at least, a few colors, and it may take a few months before MAC gets them back in stock, even though they are permanent.
See swatches! Continue reading →

COVINGTON - The Covington Police Department is asking for the public's help in locating a juvenile who has been missing since Friday.Fourteen-year-old Robin Hardie was working with her mother at the family business, New Shoez, on the Square next to Passion Community Church, and apparently left the business while her mother was in the back room. "She normally helps run the store, runs errands and things like that. At some point, she apparently walked out the door and didn't come back," said CPD Detective Daniel Seals. Seals, who said he's worked dozens of runaway cases, said this case doesn't "feel" like a runaway and police officers are concerned. "We're not calling it a kidnapping. We're calling it missing," Seals said. "It's a bit of a mystery right now. We want to know why and where. Right now, we don't care about the why. We care about the where. We'll worry about why later. Our No. 1 concern is that she's OK and doesn't need anything." Hardie is described as 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing approximately 138 pounds. She is a native of Jamaica but has no accent. She has been a student at Eastside High School, but has most recently been home schooled. "She doesn't have many close friends here in Covington," Seals said. "She's met quite a few people around the Square and they all remember her as being a very attractive, very intelligent and well-spoken young woman. But nobody remembers seeing her since Friday." He said the teen did make a few acquaintances when she went to Eastside High School and detectives have been in touch with them, but no one has heard from her. She has relatives in Jamaica, Florida and New York, but none of them say they have heard from her, either. Seals said that evidence showed that the girl or someone went to her home and took a few items, including a multi-colored rolling backpack. "Normally, when a 14-year-old girl runs away, there are a lot of personal items missing, kinda like packing for a trip," Seals said. "Not in this case. Only some items were taken. We don't know if this was because she was rushed, or it was a last-minute decision or what." Seals said the girl does not have a cell phone nor access to a bank account. There has been no credit card activity. He said Hardie's mother began phoning anybody she could think of Friday and when she contacted the CPD, they began going back over those friends and relatives, but have, so far, gleaned nothing. "In cases of a traditional runaway, there usually have been tumultuous arguments with family ... there's almost always something that's been said to a friend or something has been set up. Not here," he said. Seals said any tip, no matter how small or insignificant, would be appreciated from the public. "Even if somebody can say, 'I was driving around the Square and I saw somebody that looked like her walking in this direction,'" Seals said. "We'll take anything." Anyone who thinks they may have information about the missing girl can call Lt. Mark Jones at 770-385-2123 or the CPD tip line at 770-786-7605. Tips can be given to the CPD anonymously by visiting their Web site at www.covingtonpolice.com and clicking on "contact us" and then "secret witness."

Hillary's Mystery Money Men
But the office seems to have benefited McAuliffe--and Hillary Clinton. When McAuliffe stepped down as DNC chair in February 2005, he said he planned to hit the lecture circuit and spend more time with his family. He may have done both, but he did so as vice chair of Carret from the new company office on the seventh floor of the venerable McPherson Building, once the home of the John Kerry campaign and just off K Street's lobbyist gulch. Simon Rosenberg's New Democrat Network, where Mark Penn, chief pollster and strategist for Hillary's campaign, has served as a fellow, was housed next door to McAuliffe and O'Keefe.
While there, McAuliffe found time to pen his memoir, What a Party!, his paean to the Clintons and his role in raising record amounts of money for them and the party. Yet the memoir itself, for which he earned a seven-figure advance, makes no mention of Carret or his role as its vice chair.
Three people working in nearby suites said they remembered McAuliffe and O'Keefe working out of the office, but none of them remembered the Carret name. Nor did any of them have any idea what McAuliffe was doing as Quasha's vice chair. One person who visited McAuliffe in the suite recalled that he was working on his book but said he was unaware of the official function of the office. "Terry holds his cards pretty close on his business activities," he said.
According to another visitor, McAuliffe was using his time to lay the groundwork for Hillary's long-anticipated presidential bid. With McAuliffe leading Clinton's ravenous fundraising operation, the possibility that Carret's Washington office was opened up, at least in part, to serve just such a function is bolstered by the fact that Carret opened the office only after hiring McAuliffe--and closed it down once he left. During that period, though no Clinton campaign committee yet existed, there were signs that he was already operating on her behalf. In 2005 he appeared on CNN's Crossfire, where the former Democratic chief did not bother to feign neutrality in the primaries: "Personally, I hope she runs," he said. "We would be lucky if she did run, I'll tell you that." In 2006 he kept one foot in Clintondom as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, an organization whose membership is primarily by invitation to elite business leaders. Wang, whose China International Industry and Commerce partnered with Carret soon after McAuliffe joined the company, was also named to the initiative in 2006.
Meanwhile, during McAuliffe's employment at Carret, Quasha himself donated large sums to the DSCC. He gave $26,700 in June 2006 and $25,000 that October and also personally contributed $4,600, the maximum allowed, to the Hillary Clinton presidential exploratory committee.
Since his start as a young fundraiser on Carter's 1980 re-election campaign, McAuliffe has consistently melded politics, policy and private enterprise. By the time he was 30, he had launched a dozen companies, his own law firm and numerous venture capital companies. Perhaps his most controversial association was with the telecommunications company Global Crossing, where McAuliffe managed to turn a $100,000 personal investment into an $18 million windfall. After McAuliffe sold his shares and got out, the company collapsed; nearly 10,000 employees lost their jobs, and investors lost $54 billion. McAuliffe defended the firm's top executives, who were close with both the Bushes and Clintons, but went on to attack President Bush for similar patterns at Harken.
At a DNC meeting in Las Vegas in 2002, McAuliffe spoke about the recent collapse of Enron and questioned whether Bush could "restore confidence to Wall Street when he has engaged in the same practices he condemns today," a reference to Bush's Harken profiteering. That same year, associates of McAuliffe, fronted by a fake grassroots organization, released an aggressive ad campaign seeking to highlight the Harken-Bush connection.
It is not surprising, then, to learn that neither McAuliffe's connection to Carret nor Quasha's role in the firm have been widely publicized. Carret employees said they were surprised that when Quasha acquired the prestigious firm he did not choose to publicize his coup, instead keeping it quiet. In fact, the company's website does not reveal his role as chair--or much of anything about the firm. The company's chief financial officer, Marco Vega, said he was unable to provide details on Quasha's role in the company, or even to confirm his current title.

By Justin BoronThe open doors at the Wal-Mart Supercenter may signal a new era of growth in Lovejoy. But it is the acres of exposed red clay in the area surrounding the store that hold the future of the burgeoning city. Wal-Mart held its grand opening Wednesday, culminating a year's worth of development that has permanently altered the appearance and way of life in Lovejoy. Gone are the woods that used to shroud U.S. Highway 19/41. In their place, Wal-Mart, McDonald's, and Eckerds have risen to become the commercial forefront of the county's south side. But there is more to come, said Lovejoy Mayor Joe Murphy. A ride along Hastings Bridge Road - the city's main thoroughfare other than Highway 19/41 - reveals acres of cleared property in the area east of Talmadge Road. A revamped mobile home park and a 350-home neighborhood will fill the lots soon, Murphy said. Close to the Henry County border, another tract of land is being cleared for development. Murphy said no plans have been submitted for the project The pace of growth hasn't bothered nearby residents, who say they were caught in a shopping no man's land. Stuck in the scantily developed area between Jonesboro and Griffin for years, residents either battled traffic to the north or took the long drive south for groceries or errands. Now, they say Lovejoy will become their new commercial hub. Peggy Dixon, 52, comes to the city from Hampton to do laundry on Talmadge Road and said she is eager for the convenience the new shopping center will bring "It'll be closer for me to go to Wal-Mart to pick up supplies," she said. "We normally have to go to Griffin to do a lot of the stuff that we have to do." Likewise, Dolores McLeod, 70, said the area afforded more opportunities than in previous years. But some Lovejoy fixtures like Dorsey Nursery or Barge Tires have feared Wal-Mart's convenience may be bad for business. While Wal-Mart works like a magnet in attracting new smaller businesses, it has often diminished the success of existing business. Spring - Dorsey's busiest season - will determine Wal-Mart's impact, said several Dorsey employees who would not give their name. The store is already drawing new chain restaurants like O'Charley's, Ruby Tuesday's, and a Fire Mountain, which Murphy said is owned by the company responsible for Ryan's. "(Wal-Mart) is going to promote more commercial business on Tara Boulevard," he said. County Commissioner Wole Ralph, whose commission district includes Lovejoy, cautiously agreed. "What you don't want is for Lovejoy to become a haven for development (that is) not allowed in the unincorporated (part of the) county," he said. Ralph, who promised in his campaign to bring high-end development to the panhandle, said the county and Lovejoy will be working together to ensure the development doesn't get out-of-hand. But already, there are housing tracts popping up in every area of the city, which Murphy said will grow to almost 8,000 for the next Census in 2010. Across the street from Wal-Mart's new shopping center, there are several new neighborhoods, some of which are still under construction. Once they are complete, the strip of property along Lovejoy Road will swell with about 800 family units. The neighborhoods range from single family houses and town homes like in Southfield Station to the 255 apartments in the Lakeside Villas complex. Although the developments' aesthetics diverge from the type of housing found in the northern area of the county, the price is still low. Signs advertise houses between $130,000 and $150,000. Many citizens near the panhandle area have said they worry that lower prices will draw crime and transient residents. The southern panhandle area of the county has been cordoned off from suburban growth through zoning restrictions in the past. But as the price of land continues to rise in the county's last bastion of semi-rural property, it has become difficult for city and county officials to stave off over-development. The cost of commercial land has quadrupled in the past three to four years, Murphy said. Lovejoy residential property has seen a similar rise, almost tripling in the same period. With the real estate market bulging in the area, the dollar signs of growth appear to override the idea for a slower pace of development. Mike Ali, a 44-year old Lovejoy resident and business manager at the Conoco gas station on Talmadge Road, looked out onto a landscape of red clay from which hundreds of houses will grow and said he didn't mind. "It's good for me. A lot of people will come in here," he said.

On a busy strip of the East Village, Apiary is a chic refuge for a mature dinner in a young neighborhood. The restaurant is partly owned by furniture design company Ligne Roset, and the contemporary space holds sleek furnishings by the brand. The à la carte menu isn't huge, but is devoted to seasonal and—whenever possible—local food. Expect dishes like crispy sweetbreads with romesco sauce and chanterelle risotto with peas, lemon, and herbs. A $37 prix-fixe menu, offered Sunday through Thursday, includes many menu standouts at a fraction of the price. The extensive wine list features many domestic picks, but also takes drinkers on an international oenological tour. Monday is no-corkage night.

Letter: Common ground
Robert P. Sanchez, Naples
Common ground
It's that season again when kids and grandkids make their annual pilgrimage to spend school break in sunny Naples with nanna and granddad.
It is the joy we receive (or price we incur) for investing in a home with a swimming pool and easy access to sandy beaches.
These visits are occasions for the usual high-energy activities, accompanied by the inevitable squabbling among the young siblings. This brings on the age-old warning: "Stop fighting; you'll just have to learn to get along with your brothers and sisters."
This admonition leads me to think about how it might apply to us seniors. The need to "get along" with others is preached at the pulpit, taught in schools, studied by sociologists, practiced by (or at least attempted) by diplomats, analyzed by psychologists and, unfortunately, ignored by partisan politicians.
Why is it the greatest challenge to our ability to extend goodwill and practice patience and understanding occurs in the workplace and between neighbors, spouses and immediate family members?
Simple. It's with close contacts that friction points are most likely to occur. And it's exactly in these interactions that we should apply the appropriate "lubrication." Forbearance and understanding, willingness to listen, openness to behavior modification and creativity in problem solving can go a long way to making our lives more pleasant.
The lesson is that we should practice what we preach. The need to seek out and find common ground and move on starts early in life and never really ends.

June is a cruel month for pretenders.
The ugly
Who thought the Indians were for real? Who still thinks they will finish above .500?
The Marlins are singing some Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Man, they are sinking faster than the Titanic.
Will the Cardinals still be above .500 before the month is over? By the AS Break? I'm still boldly proclaiming their demise, some good reasons, otherwise just out of hoping for massive fail with that collection of whiners.
The good
The Pirates continue to hover around the .500 mark, as does Seattle, which is surprising. Don't know enough about Seattle, but I'm still standing my ground that Pittsburgh will do a second half fade due to lack of depth. Any injuries and they're done.

Side note: after Beyond my friend was telling me about how on plurlife or one of those shitty etard sites where nobody knows shit about music people were talking all kinds of shit about how Netsky was not good at Beyond. It makes me wonder if these people actually listen to music because my friends and I felt that his track selection and mixing were excellent. I'd be curious to hear what the same people think of say Fresh's set. He was complete fucking garbage.

Fever, Sweats, and Hot Flashes (PDQ®): Supportive care - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Sweats and Hot Flashes
Trazodone is another possible agent to use for nighttime hot flashes, based on clinical experience. Trazodone, an atypical antidepressant that is often used as a sleeping aid, has anecdotally been shown to be particularly helpful in patients with nocturnal hot flashes. Doses range from 50 mg to 300 mg. Clinical experience suggests that trazodone can help patients fall asleep and can control hot flashes during the night, helping them to stay asleep. Trazodone is a tricyclic antidepressant and, as such, would not be expected to have a great impact on hot flashes: one open-label pilot trial conducted with a tricyclic antidepressant, desipramine, as a proof-of-principle study did not show a benefit.[38] However, this study has not been replicated. The effect of trazodone on sleep may be so profound that hot flashes are not bothersome; this hypothesis needs further study.
Side effects for antidepressant agents in the doses used to treat hot flashes are minimal in the short term and primarily include nausea, sedation, dry mouth, and appetite suppression or stimulation. In the long term, the prevalence of decreases in sexual function with SSRIs at doses used to treat hot flashes is not known. The anticonvulsants gabapentin and pregabalin can cause sedation, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating, while clonidine can cause dry mouth, sedation, constipation, and insomnia.[27,28,30][Level of evidence: I] Patients respond as individuals to both the efficacy and the toxicity of various medications. Therefore, careful assessment and tailored treatment chosen collaboratively by provider and health care consumer are needed.
Data indicate that if one medication is not helpful for an individual, switching to another medication—whether a different antidepressant or gabapentin—may be worthwhile. In a randomized phase III trial (NCCTG-N03C5) of gabapentin alone versus gabapentin in conjunction with an antidepressant in women who had inadequate control of their hot flashes with an antidepressant alone,[43][Level of evidence: I] gabapentin use resulted in an approximately 50% median reduction in hot flash frequency and score, regardless of whether the antidepressant was continued. In other words, for women who were using antidepressants exclusively for the management of hot flashes that were inadequately controlled, initiation of gabapentin with discontinuation of the antidepressant produced results equal to those obtained with combined therapy, resulting in the need for fewer medications. Similarly, in a pilot study of women receiving inadequate benefit from venlafaxine for hot flash reduction, switching to open-label citalopram, 20 mg per day, resulted in a 50% reduction in hot flash frequency and score.[44]

Ocean's Thirteen Review
By Joe Lozito
Caper Crusaders
Continuing an unexpected trend started by
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"
, "Ocean's Thirteen", the third in the numerically troublesome "Ocean's" series, proves to be the best of the bunch. Like "Pirates 3", "Thirteen" learns from its past. 2001's remake,
"Ocean's Eleven"
, was at best a mugging attempt to capitalize on the kitsch of Rat Pack nostalgia. 2004's disappointing "Ocean's Twelve" took the series into "meta" territory and away from its heist roots. "Thirteen" goes back to the basics. It is, in essence, one long caper from start to finish. And while it makes almost no sense (and never pauses for a minute to think about it), everyone's having a ball - and this time, the audience is included.
The film wastes no time getting down to business. When "Thirteen" begins, Elliott Gould's beloved (I guess) schlub Reuben Tishkoff is in the hospital, the victim of a heart attack after a viciously sleazy business deal with Willie Bank (Al Pacino, having a blast), a cutthroat new casino owner on the Vegas strip. Faster than you can say myocardial infarction, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his boys gear up to take Bank down.
Now, don't ask me who the Thirteen are since it's almost impossible to tell. All I can say for sure is Julia Roberts' Tess Ocean opted out this time around (she's explained away with an odd "it's not her fight" line). The estrogen level is maintained, however, by Ellen Barkin. As stunning as ever, Ms. Barkin plays Abigail Sponder, right-hand woman to Mr. Pacino's Bank. While Ms. Barkin is given a few moments to strut her stuff, the jokes in this boy's club are too often at her expense.
As you'd expect, there are in-jokes galore - many, many of which will be lost on most. But unlike "Twelve" which reveled in its own winking cleverness, "Thirteen" is just as much fun from the outside (particularly some hysterical moments with Oprah). Courtesy of an almost miraculous script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien each character is given something to do - though the term "character" might be an overstatement since the actors mostly play themselves. Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Bernie Mac, Carl Reiner, et cetera, et cetera. They're all back and having the time of their lives. Even Andy Garcia shows up as villain-turned-ally Terry Benedict.
Director Steven Soderbergh is also in fine form, conducting the proceedings like a maestro and wrapping everything up in under two hours. In a summer of overblown big budget blockbusters, that's the most impressive feat of all.

Third time's a charm for the Soderbergh-Clooney heist series, with this extended caper flick that never stops long enough for anything but a knowing wink.

Stochastic evolutionary cartel formation
This paper employs the evolutionary dynamics driven by the Moran process (a special birth-death process) to investigate endogenous cartel formation from the perspective of stochastic evolution of the underlying industry. A Prisoner's Dilemma game is derived based on the Cournot competition between any two firms. Moreover, in a repeated setting, we consider the normal-form game between two well-known behavior modes: cooperative strategy tit-for-tat (TFT) and non- cooperative strategy always defect (ALLD). We then give the corresponding conditions under which full collusion and partial collusion are established, respectively, in stochastic evolutionary sense. Finally, both the threshold of discount factor and the threshold of industry concentration are endogenously determined in the model.

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by April35012 Love these shoes!! They fit well, look nice enough to wear with business casual, and they are very comfortable and versatile. So much so, I bought a second and third pair for when the others finally wear out! October 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lorio Super Dry These keep your feet super dry, at least in wet grass which is where I, at least, most need it. Took a couple of wears to feel comfortable but now these feel great. They look really nice, just as pictured online. May 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by TL great shoe I was looking for a hiking shoe that was both nice looking and durable, I wear this shoe when I'm four wheeling and outback working I like that I can work in it and still where it with jeans or shorts. The padding in the from front of the shoe took some getting used to but with all shoes you just need to break them in. April 1, 2015

This is a really easy and quick recipe to make. I spooned mine into individual mini muffin cups and topped with a Candy Cane Kiss. I also just left them to cool overnight on my kitchen counter ...
After 4 hrs in the fridge it was just a sticky mess clinging to the tin foil.
This recipe did not work for me! It didn't harden to the correct consistency even though I did everything correctly. Though it tasted yummy, we had to eat it with a spoon as we couldn't even sli...

Digestive Disorders
For most people, digestion is a natural process that we take for granted. However, there are millions of Americans who are not as fortunate. When the digestive process goes awry, it can result in any number of digestive disorders, all of which can interfere with every aspect of their lives.
Featured Patient
While the list of digestive disorders is vast and varied, some of the more common disorders include colic, acid reflux, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. A common component of many of these can be described as a nervous system that is "out of sync." Every section of the GI tract is prone to its own unique disorder - some are merely annoying, such as heartburn, while others can be painful or even debilitating with cramping, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or bleeding. If the condition persists, it can undermine a person's overall health, and, in some cases, threaten their lives. Medical Treatments Many sufferers attempt to treat their symptoms with over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. If this fails, they are typically given prescription drugs or steroids. As a last resort, surgery may be recommended to repair or remove a section of the digestive tract. However, the Physician's Desk Reference reveals that the drugs used to treat digestive disorders can have potentially dangerous side effects. Some may cause further digestive distress.

Baylor Senior
40: 5.05e
Powerful player with good size and holds up well at the point of attack. Hard to push off the ball. Shows some burst and moves well for his size. Can use the swim move to get upfield and shoot gaps to get penetration. Also shows good power move able to get his hands inside and drive the center backwards as a nose tackle. Has a pretty good motor and will work to finish the play as a pass rusher. Shows ability to make plays laterally down the line in pursuit as well.
Does not use his hands very well, and thus can get pushed around and redirected a bit too easily by centers and guards. Needs to do a better job getting off blocks. Lacks range and his first step is lacking. This lack of an ideal first step limits how much push he can get when he does use his bull rush. Won't be much of a factor as a pass rusher because of his lack of quickness tending to rely on his power to beat blockers.
NJB is a good power player that helped replace what Phil Taylor brought to the Baylor defense last season. He is not nearly the player that Taylor was, but he's a solid player that fits well as a run stuffer in a two-gap scheme. He just doesn't offer enough potential or abilty as a pass rusher to think he really fits well in a 4-3 scheme. He's a former walk-on.
(9/2) vs. TCU: 2 TFL, 1 stuff, 1 pressure, 1 Hit, 1 PD
(12/3) vs. Texas: 0.5 TFL, 0.5 sack, 1.5 stuff, 1 pressure
(12/29) vs. Washington: 0.5 TFL
2011: 13 GP/12 GS, 36 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 4.0 sacks, 0 FF, 1 FR, 0 INT, 3 PD, 1 block
2010: 12/9-31-1.5-0.5-1-0-0-1

2008: 12/0-9-0.5-0.0-0-0-0-0
- missed bowl game in 2010 due to knee injury
Jean-Baptiste should be able to contribute for a 3-4 team looking for a nose tackle. That is where his highest potential lies. While he can give good reps and minutes to a 4-3 team, he's probably really too heavy to be more than a two-down defender. And while that can be valuable in a rotation, he just doesn't offer the upside as an everydown defender to really be that valued as a starter. Not unless he drops some weight and slims down to get some quickness back into his game. I think he can add depth for a 3-4 team as well, but also offer enough ability and upside to think that by the time he's ready for his second contract he might be able to start for some team. But more than likely, he'll remain a backup and be a guy that can split reps with a starter and give you good minutes as a role player. If he can improve his technique and show better hand use, then he can develop into what is considered a very valuable role player. Otherwise, he may wind up becoming more of the journeyman type that teams can plug into their lineup when injuries hit, but doesn't quite play at a level that keeps him in one place for more than a few seasons.
Again, the 4-3 would not be an ideal scheme for Jean-Baptiste because he won't be able to give you consistent pressure as a pass rusher. But if the Falcons were to try and use him in their rotation primarily on run downs and then potentially develop into a more of a 3-4 or hybrid scheme down the road, he offers good potential there. Initially, it's hard to see NJB being more than a fourth guy in the rotation that would just be a heavier version of Vance Walker. But down the road, if his technique and hands develop, he could be a much more consistent player than Walker is and be a valuable role player for the team on run downs.
Jean-Baptiste is more of a depth option for most teams but projects as a potential mid-round pick because there is some upside as a starter that could be developed down the road. The problem is that the team that drafts him may not reap those benefits. So probably the earliest he should go off the board is probably in the fifth round to a 3-4 team looking for a developmental backup. For a 4-3 team, they probably are better served waiting until the seventh round if they are looking for a two-down run stuffer.
1-pathetic, 2-poor, 3-weak, 4-below average, 5-average, 6-above average, 7-good, 8-very good, 9-excellent, 10-elite
Strength: 8.0

That's good that baby gizmo awards 2012 give for best high chair and its very nice of it…
Rachel says
I would recommend the Evenflo Compact Fold if you're looking for highchair that can be stored away easily. It has one of the narrowest folds I've seen and is much cheaper than the Joovy Nook. It's also easy to clean.

My high chair isn't featured here, I wish I'd seen this post sooner! It collects food in the seat which is difficult to clean!

Social Problems in the UK
An Introduction
By Stuart Isaacs, David Blundell, Anne Foley, Norman Ginsburg, Brian McDonough, Dan Silverstone, Tara Young
Routledge – 2014 – 200 pages
Routledge – 2014 – 200 pages
Social Problems in the UK: An Introduction is the first textbook on contemporary social issues to contextualise social problems within the disciplines of sociology, social policy, criminology and applied social science. Drawing on the research and teaching experience of academics in these areas, this much-needed textbook brings together a comprehensive range of expertise. Social Problems in the UK discusses the strengthening and changing character of social construction, providing a new and invigorated way of studying the issues for all social science students. This clear, accessible textbook guides students in approaching the methodology, theory and research of social problems, and introduces the key topics in the area:
Social Problems in the UK provides a number of helpful pedagogical features for ease of teaching and learning, including: case studies; links to data sources; textboxes highlighting examples, key figures etc.; study questions, and tips on how to undertake literature reviews and use journals and databases.
'This innovative and bang up-to-date introductory text offers students an accessible entry point to contemporary social problems and the social science 'business' of analysing just what does and does not count as a social problem and why. Research is used to illuminate problems and to gently demonstrate the application of pertinent theoretical insights without resorting to jargon and dry discourse. This is an engaging way to introduce new students to their undergraduate studies and make them feel at ease with complex ideas before graduating to the heavier tomes. The revision notes, tasks and questions at the end of the chapters give students an opportunity to interrogate the reading further and the subject matter more widely. Additional chapters that, for example, directly address social inequalities should be considered in any later editions. However, as it is, I am sure this will prove to be a popular text for first year students and their lecturers.' Dr Deborah Holman, Senior Lecturer in Social Policy, Anglia Ruskin University
