Hugh Jackman: Wolverine is at His 'Lowest' in Upcoming Sequel
Hugh Jackman may now be wrapping up his adventure as Jean Valjean, but he's just getting back into the swing of the adamantium claws as Wolverine. The stage and screen actor recently sat down with Parade magazine to talk about LES MISERALES and his upcoming film THE WOLVERINE.
Parade pushed for a scoop, and Jackman said: "You want to get me into trouble, don't you? [laughs] Okay, the movie takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand. My character is at his lowest. He is supposed to be able to heal himself, but he may encounter someone who has worked out a way to really hurt him. And there is a cameo from one of the past X-Men in it."
The film is set to hit theaters domestically on July 26, 2013.
The X-Men spinoff, THE WOLVERINE, is directed by James Mangold and stars Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee.
Based on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's 1982 Wolverine miniseries, the film follows Logan's troubled adventures in modern-day Japan. There he is forced to confront not only a deadly enemy, but the terrible truth of his own mortality.

NFL Picks and Analysis: Conference Championship weekend
Shout-out to Pro Bowl QB Matt Schaub, some thoughts on Jets, and Bills' coaching blunder
CORPUS CHRISTI - From now on, when you address Matt Schaub, the correct method of doing so will be to call him Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Schaub. Thanks to Tom Brady's injuries (and the fact he didn't deserve it over Schaub in the first place), Schaub will be traveling to Miami next week to join teammates Andre Johnson, DeMeco Ryans, Mario Williams and Brian Cushing.
While this season didn't bring the Texans their first playoff game, it did yield the first winning season in franchise history. Schaub was the biggest part of that as he remained healthy, starting and finishing all 16 games and throwing for a league-high 4,770 yards on the season (also sixth highest in NFL history). In his two previous seasons with Houston, it was widely thought that if Schaub could remain healthy for an entire season, he'd do some special things and that's exactly what happened.
No one knew what to expect in 2007 when Schaub was acquired from the Atlanta Falcons, ending David Carr's tenure. To Texans fans, he was a complete unknown. But the Texans saw something we didn't in the 2003 Heisman Trophy candidate and put a lot of careers on the line to bring him to town. Three years later, he's got this franchise on the cusp of greatness. Scoff if you feel the urge, but the Texans won, or came within a score of winning, each and every game from Week 2 to Week 17. Make a couple of the right tweaks here and there on both sides of the ball, and maybe we're all sitting here next year, watching the Texans try to break into Dallas in February. Call it crazy, but had New York not received the red carpet into the postseason, that's probably what we're talking about today, only they'd be playing for a spot in Miami. A year or so ago, my buddy Chris asked me if I thought Matt Schaub would be the guy to lead the Texans to a Super Bowl. I told him yes without hesitating or blinking. He was stunned. It's no longer such a stunning scenario, is it?
A couple weeks ago, just before the Bengals took on the Jets, Gordo and I were having a good laugh at the expense of the Jets and Rex Ryan's assertion that they should be considered the favorites for the Super Bowl. We were so amused; I came up with a nickname for all the folks who decided to jump aboard the Jets' playoff bandwagon: The Short Green Bus.
When the Jets took down Cincy, I still wasn't a believer. The Bengals would've been anyone's top choice for an opening playoff game. They haven't won a playoff game in 20 years, who doesn't want those odds instead of, say, the Patriots or Ravens? No way they beat San Diego and their high-powered offense though. Nuh-uh, no way.
Now I'm sitting here, writing my conference championship column and I still have to make Jets predictions. The Short Green Bus has more gas than I thought it did. What's worse is, I actually like Rex Ryan. Three weeks ago, I thought he was delusional to make such broad and lofty predictions when his team is being led by a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback. Sure, he's a defensive mastermind and he's also got the league's best running game on the other side of the ball, but we're going to see some rookie mistakes here. We have to.
Again, here I am today, still having to talk about the Jets. Do I believe in them now? I believe they're a very good team with a very good attitude (not the answer you were looking for, was it? Hold on…). On paper, the Jets are underwhelming, ordinary and boring. On the field, they're a symphony, all working together for a common goal and a common cause. No one player stands out statistically because they've all got hands in it. In other words, they're the truest team outside of Indianapolis. They believe in themselves, their coach believes in them and vice versa. If the Jets win it all this year, imagine how lethal they'll be once Mark Sanchez actually fully harnesses his abilities in the NFL. But if they're going do it this year, they'll have to beat a team that has personified the word team for nearly 13 years. Mark Sanchez, meet Peyton Manning.
I believe the Jets have earned my respect, as well as everyone else's. But if they want more than that, they'll have to beat Peyton Manning and the Colts. Barring a complete tragedy, this match-up will not feature Curtis Painter.
If any of you happen to come across a Bills fan, give him or her a hug. This is pitiful. For weeks, we've been hearing names like Bill Cowher, Mike Shanahan, Brian Billick, Marty Schottenheimer and Mike Holmgren. When many of those names were eliminated, we all figured the gig would go to Vikings hotshot defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
But Chan Gailey? Something is way wrong in Buffalo. When you can't even convince the Jets' offensive coordinator to interview for a promotion, that's saying something. It's a very disappointing time in Orchard Park. Perry Fewell, the Bills' interim head coach at the end of the season, was a better option. Leslie Frazier was a far better choice. This is an organization that deserves so much better than this and to have to settle for a guy who was obviously Plan R, it's got to be deflating.
Perhaps this is a little like the Schaub thing I discussed earlier and the Bills saw something in Gailey that no one else saw. Or maybe Ralph Wilson has slipped into the Al Davis Zone and the loyal fans of Buffalo should start canceling their 2010 seat licenses now while they still can. Maybe buy some Jets gear.
For the record, I'm not a big believer in the thought that hiring a big-name coach guarantees big results. It took Bill Cowher 15 years to win a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh, it took Shanahan 4 years and a Hall of Fame quarterback (he never got close to another one in the following 10 years), Schottenheimer never won one in 21 years and Billick got really lucky in his second season when he led his Ravens to a victory over the Giants in the lamest Super Bowl match-up, and game, I've ever seen (Super Bowl XXXV). The only thing a big-name coaching hire does for a team like Buffalo is give them name credibility that might attract a few decent free agents. For a team like the Bills, who have so many holes in so many important spots, I'm pretty sure Vince Lombardi wouldn't take this gig. It's a very, very difficult spot that Bill Cowher wouldn't have solved very quickly and one that Chan Gailey certainly won't solve anytime soon.
As the unofficial melting pot of the Dallas Cowboys, I'm sure a ton of you folks here in Corpus have some thoughts on this news. Go ahead. Knock yourselves out.
When the postseason began, I put together a list of all 12 playoff teams and their 2009 statistical standings in three categories: total offense, total defense and total rushing. This was to see which teams depended on what and how that would affect the postseason outcomes. With four teams remaining, the results up to now are pretty scattered.
JETS: 1st in total rushing, 20th in total offense, 1st in total defense
COLTS: 32nd in total rushing, 9th in total offense, 18th in total defense
VIKINGS: 13th in total rushing, 5th in total offense, 6th in total defense
SAINTS: 6th in total rushing, 1st in total offense, 25th in total defense
The Vikings and Jets are the two most well-balanced teams remaining, so if statistics have their way, it's those two in the Super Bowl. But, if stats had their all postseason, there's no way Arizona beats Green Bay 51-45, Baltimore loses 20-3 and Dallas loses 34-3. It seems as though the only current discernible trend is that NFC teams are winning through the air while AFC teams, minus Indy, are winning on the ground. Even then, that's not an air tight trend.
What we have in front of us is extremely basic. The two best teams in the NFC are battling for a Super Bowl spot. It's one of those rare times when the novelty of 'outside the box' thinking is completely taken away. Just go with the standings. In the AFC, the Colts, the #1 seed, are predictably a win away from the Super Bowl. The only surprise is the Jets. Could the lone surprise in the NFL playoffs run the table and bring home a Lombardi trophy?
AFC Championship: New York Jets (9-7) at Indianapolis Colts (14-2)
Prediction: Colts
The Colts are still the Colts, and while I would've given pause to this game, and subsequent prediction, had they been matched up with San Diego, I'm giving them all the belief I have against the Jets. If the Jets play another flawless defensive game and completely take away Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark, they could win. But with Revis covering Wayne, I have a feeling it's going to be a Peyton to Dallas Clark festival this weekend. Don't count out the emergence of Joseph Addai either. The Colts love to catch teams off guard like that.
NFC Championship: Minnesota Vikings (12-4) at New Orleans Saints (13-3)
Prediction: Vikings
Minnesota's offense against New Orleans's offense is pretty much a battle of A+'s. But when it comes to defense, this is where the Vikings can beat the Saints in spades. Both teams play in domes, so the noise shouldn't bother the Vikings one bit. It might actually be quite comforting. This is the must-see game of the weekend. A sure-fire epic in the making.

Ole Miss student dies in apparent homicide
OXFORD, Miss. — Investigators say a University of Mississippi graduate student from Gulfport, Miss., who was found dead early Wednesday at a Lafayette County home was the victim of a homicide.
Lafayette County Sheriff's investigators released few details Wednesday afternoon concerning the death of Zacharias Herculese McClendon, 25.
Deputies responding to a "welfare concern" found the body of McClendon, who had been working on his MBA degree at Ole Miss, when they arrived at the home on County Road 140 southwest of Oxford shortly after 3 a.m., according to a news release from the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department.
"It appears that foul play was involved," the release said.
"The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department is not releasing details at this time," according to the release. "The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department is working in conjunction with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, the Oxford Police Department and the public."
The MBI sent investigators and crime scene technicians to Oxford to help with the investigation, spokesman Warren Strain said.
"The University family is shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Zach McClendon," Ole Miss Dean of Students Sparky Reardon said in a statement. "We feel pain and loss any time one of our students is taken from us. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and we, as a university family, will do all that we can to support them."
Lafayette County Investigator Alan Wilburn asked that anyone with information about the killing contact the sheriff's department at 662-234-8789 or Lafayette County Crime Stoppers at 662-234-8477.

As we all know, the much-anticipated outdoor game at Dodger Stadium is getting closer and closer. As part of the NHL's inaugural Stadium Series, the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks will be squaring off on Saturday, January 25 at the home of the MLB's Dodgers.
While fans of both teams are excited about the game itself, those fans have also been eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the jerseys both teams will wear at January's end. The wait finally ended on Tuesday, just hours before the first meeting of the season between the Kings and Ducks.
On the Los Angeles jersey, the Kings decided to use their secondary crown logo and put different shading on the emblem to give it a little bit of a kick. The logo is on a grey jersey with black trim at the top. On the right shoulder is the Stadium Series logo with a new-look "LA" secondary logo on the left.
In addition, the trim on the arms and bottom of the jersey are similar to that of the Kings' current road jerseys while, as a vintage touch, laces were added at the upper front of the jersey directly below the NHL logo.
If you didn't like that, please understand that I have never described an NHL (or from any other league for that matter) jersey before.
At first glance, I didn't know what to think. Up until the New York Islanders unveiled their uniform for their own Stadium Series game, I was under the assumption that teams participating in outdoor games had to wear vintage jerseys. Suffice to say the annual Winter Classic as well as the Heritage Classic north of the border have had a profound effect on me. With that said, I was expecting either Los Angeles's blue-and-gold or, to complement the old Duck mask over the green triangle logo the Ducks franchise sported for the first 13 years of their existence, the Kings would revive the Chevrolet-type logo they used from 1988 to 1998. For fans who expected either one of the two designs were disappointed by the new jersey but over time, most fans will likely get used to the new duds.
At first glance, I didn't like the new jerseys. But looking over it, I decided that I did, in fact, like the Kings' new uniforms. With that said, I was hoping for the revival of the Chevrolet-type logo but I'm not terribly disappointed that the Kings decided to go a different route.
As for the Ducks' Stadium Series jerseys, they took the D logo on their current alternates and went with all-orange uniforms and while orange certainly isn't a popular colour, I love them. There's just something about the jerseys that gives it the vintage look while staying modern all at the same time.
The varying opinions are still coming in on both uniforms as we are just seven weeks away from the drop of the puck at Dodger Stadium where both teams will plan to win in their respective new unis.

Appearing in front of the House Oversight Committee Wednesday morning Lois Lerner, former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS, refused to answer questions asked by lawmakers by pleading the Fifth Amendment. Earlier this week, Lerner's attorney William Taylor confirmed to Committee members in an email that she would testify. Lerner was issued a subpoena last summer after admitting the IRS singled out conservative groups for extra scrutiny.
"On the advice of my counsel I respectfully exercise my fifth amendment right and decline to answer that question," Lerner said.
Last year, Lerner was called to testify in front of the same Committee where she also invoked her Fifth Amendment rights after making the statement, "I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws, I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee." The Committee voted and concluded that because Lerner made a statement before pleading the Fifth, she effectively waived her Fifth Amendment rights.
When asked by Chairman Darrell Issa if she believed there wasn't a smidgen of corruption inside the IRS when it came to the inappropriate targeting of tea party and conservative groups, Lerner answered, "On the advice of my counsel I respectfully exercise my fifth amendment right and decline to answer that question."
The Committee hearing was quickly dismissed after Issa put contempt charges for Lerner on the table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, seeking the truth is the duty of this committee and I see no point in moving forward," Issa said. "We're adjourned, close it down."

Berlin. A Photo Travel Blog.
By Stepside 6 Comments
So I started a little travel blog a while back that got a lot of good feedback from you guys. It was detailing my upcoming trip to Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest in September-October 2011. I never got around to finish it, so here goes. For those interested - here's the first blog post: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/stepside/a-trip-of-a-lifetime/30-85989/
__ __ __ __
After a 14 hour trip from Ottawa via London-Heathrow, my wife Julie and I finally got off the plane in Berlin. After the obligatory passport weirdness (we were sent to the E.U. line even though we're clearly North Americans) it was nice to finally get going.
We stayed here the first night - Circus Berlin http://www.circus-berlin.de/circus_hotel_berlin.html Awesome little boutique hotel right downtown. The neighborhood is called Rosenthalerplatz - really close to 4 whole streets of outdoor cafes, bars, pubs, restaurants and shopping. Really central (literally 2 minute walk to the Rosenthalerplatz U-Bahn metro stop). After checking in, we decided to do some exploring and grab a pint of beer or two. I gotta say, the German beer (and its accompanying beer culture) is outstanding. Their food...not so much. More on that later.
I actually ended up getting decently drunk the first night - which surprised even me, considering I'm not a huge public drinker. But I figured when in Rome... We stopped at three or four places, all with adult patrons (no fratboys to be found, just a nice 25-35 yr old crowd) and had an amazing night overall. Met some great people, some really chill bartenders (who can all speak 5+ languages, crazy) and loved the vibe of the city. Super safe, Benzes and Bimmers everywhere, beautiful architecture and a very lively feel. Really safe vibe as well, people just kept to themselves. No hassles with beggars or sketchbags like in Paris or NYC.
We ended up staying 2 more nights at a hostel in Kreutzberg (southern part of Berlin, lots of Turkish immigrants [i.e. great middle-eastern food and super-friendly people]) but I wouldn't recommend the hostel. If we could have done it all over again, we would have stayed at the Circus for all three nights.
As for the city itself, we checked out Alexanderplatz, Potsdamerplatz, the Tiergarten (Berlin's main public park), the Holocaust memorial, the Homosexual memorial (gays persecuted during WWII), Checkpoint Charlie (cheesy but worth seeing) and everything in between..
As I mentioned earlier, the Beer in Berlin is phenomenal. They come in huge sizes and run at about 6-9% alcohol content (from the selection I had anyway). What I found astounding was how many women drank beer with regular meals and how in shape they were. Baffling really - hot 5'10 blonde German chicks maintaining their 120lbs while chugging daily mouthfuls of Pilsner. I think the fact that everybody is incredibly active really has a helping hand in this however; we saw men in $3,000 suits and women in full evening wear on bicycles plowing through traffic from sun-up to dawn.
I also mentioned the food....well, there's that, and it's well worth mentioning. What we found is the food is bland as all hell. We could have doused most of our meals in BBQ sauce and it would still have tasted like, well, nothing. I was expecting a lot of meat in tube form, but deep fried meat was the order of the day in most of the spots we went to, Kreutzberg aside.
I think the highlight was the East Side Gallery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Side_Gallery). It's an open-air street-art and mural art gallery on the longest-remaining segment of the Berlin wall. Julie and I are huge fans of street art in general, let alone street art on the existing portion of the Berlin Wall. Amazing.
I took about 100 pictures of the Gallery, but the above are a few choice shots.
All in all, we spent about 7 hours each day walking (Julie's destroyed heels can attest to that) and just enjoyed the friendly, yet reserved people of Berlin and their wicked city. I'd highly recommend this place as a great hopping-off point for Europe for the weary or first time traveler. It's a safe, incredibly interesting spot with tons to see and do. I could have spent another weeks there immersed in art, history (WWII in particular) and people. English is spoken everywhere and the public transport system is beyond efficient. We had a wicked time.
Once it was time to leave, we grabbed a U-Bahn and headed for the Main Train Station for an incredibly trip through Bohemia on the way to Prague...the city of 500 spires. More to come...

Year Established:
(2 votes)
Beautiful course at 8465' elevation designed and built by Nicholas Naples and fellow Eagle Scouts. They completed this project just weeks before Nick and two other Scouts of Troop 230 were lost in a tragic traffic accident. The front section features an open area with some small rolling hills. The back section is challenging with many trees and obstacles. Please keep this course clean out of respect for the boys who made this course possible and were lost far too soon.

Cute little course. More for beginners than anything else, but not bad. Basically, it is short (with a few holes being under 200 ft), and open. Definitely better than no course. :-) A great place for someone to learn how to control your drive.

Great course with an amazing story. Lot's of fun for beginners and novice players. Has a couple of possible "Ace" holes... so be ready...

I received my BFA in Interior Design in 1984 from Paier College of Art in New Haven, CT. From there, I attended City College of New York in the Masters of Urban Design program (which concentrated also on Architecture). I've worked in New York City, Houston, Florida and Europe on both commercial and residential projects. I am NCIDQ ceritified, and am licensed as an Interior Designer in Florida and soon-to-be New York. As I stated before, I have been in the design industry for over 20 years. I have received many local, state, regional & national awards for my design work and just last year won an international award in London. My work has been shown in numerous Florida magazines as well as the Home Overseas Magazine in Europe.
My philosophy on design is that everything surrounding the space in the environment should be taken into consideration when designing the interior. Consequently, my work features many natural elements...this creates a very calming interior. I tend to focus on "classic contemporary" to "modernism" which showcases this philosophy the best. I have worked in all aspects of the design industry over the past 20 years or so. Since I have also studied architecture, I prefer to not only design my projects; but also to manage them. I am interested in all forms of commercial and residential design, and have been published in numerous magazines.
There's no information available.
My fee structure is as follows: I charge an hourly fee for my time and a percentage on products and services. My hourly fee at this time is $150.00 per hour. For products, I charge my cost plus 40% (excluding freight & taxes. For services, it would range from my cost plus 20%-30% (depending on the service required). I have access to numerous reliable subcontractors from years of collaborating and I am happy to travel anywhere for an interesting project.

Age: late 1940s
Label: Made in France - no maker's label, but the coat is hand sewn. The selvedge of the fabric is signed "H Mireault".
Description: This is a fabulous vintage late 40s period coat, featuring innovative design. The coat was hand sewn in France. It has a large, high, wide collar cut straight across the bottom. The coat has a full panel, affixed below the right center waistline, that spreads out to button at either side with two large plastic buttons. The coat does up at the neckline with another large button and closes below the waistline with two other large buttons that are hidden by the front panel. There are two tucks at either side of the lower bodice that give the coat a cinched silhouette at the waist. Similarly, there is a center pleat at the back and tucks at either side. The coat is fully lined in black satin. There are loops to accommodate a belt, however, no belt is supplied.
Color: Black
Material: Wool
Sizing: No size is indicated, as it is custom made. Still, this should fit a medium size. Please note the following measurements, taking the thickness of the wool into account:
Shoulders: 18" across seam-to-seam
Sleeves: 24" from shoulder seam
Sleeve Inseam: 18" long
Bust: 37" around, taken under the arms
Waist: 30", uncinched
Hips: 38" around
Overall length: 45"
It is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, stains or odors except for a small frayed area to the lining at the back center at the neckline, easily patched. In addition, the stitching that is holding the front panel is a little extended, but this also could be easily fixed. Otherwise, this was well cared for and stored over the years.
This is an absolutely fabulous coat - great New Look period styling, beautifully designed and made, excellent quality.....super coat for the collector - French fashion of this time period was at the vanguard of chic.....

Is SPFieldLink missing ShowInEditForm and ShowInNewForm properties?
Are some properties missing from SPFieldLink?
When you try to construct data relationship structure in SharePoint, at some point you might notice that
SPFieldLink is missing the two boolean flags known from
SPField type:
ShowInEditForm and
ShowInNewForm. To make it more confusing, the
ShowInDisplayForm flag is available and exposed as a public property.
Should the missing properties be available? That's clearly what developers expect. Moreover, MSDN documentation displays those properties in example on the SPFieldLink.SchemaXML documentation page. Also,
SPField object contains private fields for
ShowInEditForm and
ShowInNewForm. Is it just a mistake that those fields weren't exposed as public properties, or the functionality is just not implemented in SharePoint 2013?


text: Anyone know anything about memory disks? I've got a Secure Digital Storage Device for my camera, which I always remove and put in my computer when I want to look at my pics. I did this last time, and all was fine. Now when I put it back in my camera, I get "Memory Disk Error" and I can't take photos or review them. Put it back in my computer and it won't let me open anything (or even acknowledge that there's content on it). It wants me to format the disk before I can use it. Well, formatting will delete all content, I know, and I'm not sure what's on it. Is there a way to fix it without formatting? Or will formatting even cure the problem?

HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC has received a number of questions about whether dietary supplements—especially those used for bodybuilding and weight loss—could result in a positive result on military drug tests.
Military drug testing begins with urine, which is first screened and then followed by additional tests depending on the outcome of the screen. You can get extensive information about DoD's drug policy and drug testing from the Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP), including military testing. And for answers about the potential effects of specific dietary supplements on drug screening tests, you can contact your service's military drug-testing laboratory by phone or email at:
- U.S. Army, Fort Meade, MD – (301)-677-7085 or firstname.lastname@example.com
- U.S. Army, Tripler AMC, HI – (808)-433-5176 or email@example.com
- U.S. Navy, Great Lakes, IL – 847-688-2045, press 2 or ext 113, or email@example.com
- U.S. Navy, San Diego, CA – 619-532-5180 or firstname.lastname@example.com
- U.S. Navy, Jacksonville, FL – 904-542-7755, press 2 or ext 104, or email@example.com
- U.S. Air Force, Lackland AFB, TX – (210) 292-3089 or email@example.com or 210-292-3101 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Positive urinalysis results due to dietary supplement use can occur because products on the market may contain undeclared drug ingredients—that is, controlled substances that are not stated/listed on the product label. More information can be found in the FDA Consumer Update There you will also find information about how to get updates about products FDA has identified as tainted. There is no way to know if a particular supplement contains an undeclared drug without laboratory testing, but FDA does keep track of such products once identified through its MedWatch program.
The Department of Defense (DoD) currently has no formal policy on the use of dietary supplements and no list of either banned or safe supplements. For more on this topic, see Operation Supplement Safety's (OPSS) FAQ "Is there an all-encompassing list of dietary supplements that are banned or illegal for use by military personnel?"
Many children and teenagers born and raised in military families learn to adapt to their parent's deployment and return and become more resilient as a result. However, no family is immune to stress. Learning what strategies work best for your family—and each family member—is important for optimal performance over the long run.
Over the next five weeks, HPRC will suggest some practical strategies that you can use as a parent to help your children and teens to cope with deployment and post-deployment reintegration.
Week #1 tips: Try talking with your child about any phase of deployment.
- Help your children stay in touch with their deployed parent—whether through phone calls, videos, or email. Keeping the absent parent up-to-date with events on the home front helps make the homecoming easier.
- Talk about changes that occur during deployment. If your child doesn't want to talk, encourage expression through playing or drawing.
- Allow and encourage your children to ask any questions they may have regarding deployment—before, during, and after—and give them open, honest, and age-appropriate answers.
Optimized performance and mission readiness are compromised by smoking. The list of adverse effects includes increased fatigue, diminished respiratory capacity, poorer night vision, slower wound healing, and even slower reaction times. It's hard enough trying to optimize performance without adding the other health issues that smoking brings. Try using the resources offered by Quit Tobacco—Make Everyone Proud to get you on a smoke-free path to optimum performance—or to help someone else. Remember, if you can't do it for yourself, do it for the others who are counting on you to perform at your best.
One Shot One Kill: Want to learn how the elite warrior accomplishes optimal performance time after time, under the most challenging conditions? The HPRC now has new program materials for the One Shot One Kill (OSOK) performance enhancement program online for you to use and download—by yourself or with your unit! One Shot One Kill (Integrative Platform version) is a "warrior-centric" performance enhancement program that warriors can set up and manage on their own. OSOK-IP is designed to enhance performance, hardiness, and resilience. By building on the skills that Warfighters already possess, OSOK aims to translate good Warfighter qualities to outstanding ones. OSOK-IP comes in two versions:
OSOK-IP Solo is a step-by-step integrative training plan, with supplemental materials, that enables the individual Warfighter to pursue this method of Total Fitness on his or her own and reach the optimal level of performance in almost all areas of life.
OSOK-IP Train the Trainer enables your unit to train as a group by selecting one member to learn and present OSOK-IP to the rest of the unit. This section of the website has the full curriculum available to download and even customize OSOK-IP content for your own military culture and unit.
We look forward to your feedback, too. Check out OSOK and let us know what you think!
A web-based dietary supplement education module is available for military healthcare providers to provide valuable information about identifying and reporting adverse events, how to take a comprehensive supplement history from patients, and where to get evidence-based resources on evaluating dietary supplement literature. This two-hour module is available from HPRC's website, and continuing education credits are available for those who are eligible.
Recognizing the expanding use of acupuncture within military medicine, the December 2011 issue of Medical Acupuncture is dedicated to exploring the uses of acupuncture in military medical care. Often used as a treatment for pain, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and mild traumatic brain injury, the practice of acupuncture is growing as a medical treatment for a broad range of ailments in the military, even in war zones. Featured articles include a roundtable discussion on challenges and opportunities for using acupuncture, an account of a U.S. Navy doctor's use of acupuncture downrange, and future directions and applications of acupuncture.
Military Pathways presents an "infographic" (a graphic fact sheet) that highlights basic information on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The sheet includes are statistics on PTSD in both the general population and military to help put this syndrome in perspective, as well as possible causes and outcomes of not getting help for PTSD, and identifies prevention and treatment methods that you can use to help avoid or minimize the occurrence and effects of PTSD.
Kettlebells have been used in Europe for years in strength training, and now they've become a popular workout tool here in the United States too. The benefit of kettlebells is that they provide the user a wider range of motion than dumbbells do. Kettlebell workouts engage multiple muscle groups at once, making them a great option for getting a whole-body workout in a short time.
Interestingly, the January 26 edition of the New York Times Health Section reported on a Danish study that suggests kettlebell exercises are a promising musculoskeletal therapy for low-grade back and neck pain.
The study involved middle-aged women with low-grade back, shoulder, and neck pain who were randomly assigned to either a regular kettlebell workout or a general-exercise control group. The study did not include those with chronic pain.
According to the Times article, at the end of the study, the group that did the kettlebell exercises reported less pain, as well as improved strength in the trunk and core muscles, compared with the control group. Overall, the study showed exercising with kettlebells reduced lower-back pain by 57% and neck and shoulder pain by 46%.
For those with core-muscle instability or weak core muscles, kettlebells can be a great way to strengthen those muscles (back, abdominal, glutes, quads, hamstrings) and improve posture. However, along with exercise it is imperative to stretch the hamstrings, since this tends to be a major contributor to lower back pain or discomfort.
It's important to start slow when using kettlebells and seek professional guidance. Like any other exercise equipment, if used improperly, kettlebells can cause serious injury, and their swinging motion can be difficult to control.
Getting in the best shape of your life requires you to push your training regime to the limit. However, without appropriate rest periods and diet, this can lead to serious conditions known as "non-functional overreaching" (NFO) and "overtraining syndrome" (OTS). What occurs is that your performance begins to decline, even though you are training as hard as ever, and you start to feel tired and "stale." Read HPRC's Overview "Overtraining—what happens when you do too much" to learn about the serious implications of these conditions for Warfighters.
At the U.S. Army Garrison in Kaiserslautern (Germany), the base is trying to find more ways to include families in physical fitness. They are providing classes— called "Binkies and Babes" —that spouses can do with their babies. These classes are great ways for spouses to workout with their young children, socialize with other military families, and get a great individual workout!
Overseas military families can sometimes find it difficult to both exercise and manage child care. This is one way overseas bases are moving towards Total Family Fitness. Renee Champagne, the Fitness Coordinator for the Army bases in Germany (and a military spouse herself), sees how "working out and staying physically fit may help a spouse cope during a deployment… which in turn could provide peace of mind to the military member downrange."
For more information, see the article and video on Stars and Stripes.

Religious expert analyzes text in Smart case
Heidi Woodridge lived with Mitchell in the early 1980s when she was between the ages of 9 and 12. She described Mitchell as sadistic, recounting a story about him leaving dead mice inside an oven to frighten her mother, who was terrified of mice. She also claimed Mitchell once took photographs of her when she was bathing.
LouRee Gayler, a daughter of Wanda Eileen Barzee, said Mitchell was controlling, and she claimed Mitchell would show her pornography during family prayers and sometimes rub his body against her.
"His hugs were always way too long," she said.
Gayler also said Barzee and Mitchell punished her once by cooking up a pet rabbit "Peaches" and feeding it to her for dinner.
It's not clear whether Woodridge or Gayler ever reported these incidents to police or other authorities who might have investigated the allegations.
Mitchell has not previously been charged with or convicted of crimes involving child sexual abuse.

jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
4 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
eggs, beaten
This recipe was delicious. ALL of my guests loved it. I will say that I doubled the recipe, but only used about 4 cups of cheese total. I also ended up using about 5 jalapenos, sliced into rounds. The taste was still the same. A great appetizer/snack for any time of year.
Are the measurements correct as given? I even added an extra egg and there was no "custard" to speak of. Finished dish was much like a brick of cheese with peppers on the bottom. Tasty, but not worth the trouble, since I can buy hot pepper cheese. Would love to make this and have it turn out custardy. Let me know if recipe is correct. Thanks!

Had this at a tennis match- wow- what a great surprise! Really yummy!
I've made this three times, and have enjoyed it every time. I always serve it warm though, like a quiche without the crust. I'd suggest experimenting with the proportions a little- we like a lot of cheese and prefer some extra spice.
It's good reheated, too.
My family really enjoyed it. I think it is more suited for breakfast or brunch than a dinner appetizer. I used 5 Jalapenos seeds and all. I also spiced it up with Frank's Red Hot and some Lowery's. I will make it again.
I love love love this.
I use more jalapenos--pickled to be honest.
Good hot, good cold, even good the next day! Even my pre-schooler will eat it!
I used 5 jalapenos and this was NOT spicy. Next time I will not seed them or maybe even use a habanero instead. Freezes well, by the way!
i think your recipe for jalapeno was very good! i am going to make this for my family later!

andeepbarot, thank you
Teundeboer, thanks a lot you can interpret the picture any way you like. as for her expression, I think one would have to manage a halfway controlled face expression in order to be able to play the flute. she couldn't really do that while crying.
hummel1dane, thanks! haha, that's interesting, you got in without showing art? XD i guess we'll meet soon! what's your name and where are you from? a warning, however: i'm almost deaf and thus quite awkward to talk to in real life, but don't let that scare you! :]
the studentsville forum looks really interesting. i don't even have my own room (i'm renting an apartment with another student) but it's been working really well so far.

New life drawing. 2 week pose in pencil on canson paper as always. the next one will be in charcoal. OMG I'm so looking forward to that!

Hey Maidith!
My name is Hans I'm from Denmark.
Your improvement is so amazing - so fast!!! Your last 2weeks drawing looks great.
Yes I got in without showing any pictures of drawings, but I did write in the application that I was at a drawing school for some time. So maybe Lynne knew the school and thought it was OK, or I was lucky and they forgot to ask for artworks, or maybe they just don't give a damn if you got the cash!!!
(I think the latter...)
Btw do you know how many students are at the school in total? And do you know how fast it is possibly to finish the 3 year program?
Is it true that you advance independently of the group you start in.
I visited the school a few weeks ago and Martinho told me you could finish faster than 3 years if you work really hard - Is that realistically? Or are they just saying that to make you work harder?!
I look forward to meet you
February 22nd, 2009 #307
Hi maidith the last 2 week pose is great, wish i could start them aswell ;_;
but i think i've still got a long way to go :d. Anyway do you remember after how much time you started the 2 weeks drawing?

Awesome drawings maidith. Keep up the good work.
Just a little question, i know the tuition is €9000 each year but how much do you spent on living and eating cost ?
February 22nd, 2009 #310
Hans - Denmark? that's pretty cool, in my group there are 2 people from Denmark as well. I wonder why I haven't met any Germans at that school yet! The only German speakers I met there were from Switzerland XD (Dorian and Heinz). Perhaps there are fewer Germans interested in learning to draw.
So maybe Lynne knew the school and thought it was OK, or I was lucky and they forgot to ask for artworks, or maybe they just don't give a damn if you got the cash!!!
I'm wondering how many new applicants they get every year. Gotta ask Martinho about that...

I visited the school a few weeks ago and Martinho told me you could finish faster than 3 years if you work really hard - Is that realistically? Or are they just saying that to make you work harder?!
G@m, grazie mille
Anyway do you remember after how much time you started the 2 weeks drawing?
Alex, danke! ... wait, I know your sketchbook, it's really awesome! More sketches (and penis) please! The collab you did with Hannes also rocks, you guys should seriously consider making more of those.
Sky Eagle, thank you
how much do you spent on living and eating cost ?
Each month I get 250 "salary" from my parents, about 150-180 I spend on food. Most people get along with less for food (100-120), but I like exotic stuff, lots of fresh fruit, and expensive cakes and sweet, so yeah, food is my luxury. XD The other money I spend on art supplies, and sometimes household stuff. Most personal items like shampoo, deo, soap, etc. I simply "steal" from home every 3 months, they're cheaper in Germany anyways. However, I rarely go out for parties or travel, if ever. I don't have the money for it, and don't want to cut back on food.
I regularly earn a bit extra cash with commissions, but I put it all in a savings account, for somewhen in the future.
A bit of life drawing from school:

The way you do the draperies is just amazing! And your use of white is brilliant!
Are you a fan of Bouguereau? Who are your idols?
Yes I met the two other danes very briefly, they seem nice! Denmark is a very small country, but I think it is easier to come up with the money. That goes for the other scandinavian countries as well. But with that being said there are many who paint and draw in Denmark.
I was one year at a danish drawing school in Viborg (north Jutland) they have a half year course in classical drawing - intended as a preparation for the Bachelor in Character animation. It was nice (classical, renaisance style - with a russian instructor!) but most people didn't so much care for the classical they just wanted to be good enough to be accepted in the Animation program. I think most danes who draw dream of this cartoon program rather than to become a classical artist.
All right, thank you btw for creating this sketchbook - it is very important, I think, to see the progress of a student studying the place you want to go yourself.
See you in Florence!
March 1st, 2009 #312
Thank you Hans
I'm not really a Bouguereau fan, I dislike his subject matter but his technique and skill are frickin awesome.
My favorite painters (traditional) are William Turner, Waterhouse, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Bonheur and some more, depending on my mood...XD
A little digital painting for practice purposes... Didn't like it enough to finish it.
Some more copies...

In the three decades that Nobel prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk has devoted himself to writing fiction, he has also produced scores of witty, moving, and provocative essays and articles. He engages the work of Nabokov, Kundera, Rushdie, and Vargas Llosa, among others, and he discusses his own books and writing process. We also learn how he lives, as he recounts his successful struggle to quit smoking, describes his relationship with his daughter, and reflects on the controversy he has attracted in recent years. Here is a thoughtful compilation of a brilliant novelist's best nonfiction, offering different perspectives on his lifelong obsessions with loneliness, contentment, and the books and cities that have shaped his experience.
About the Author
Orhan Pamuk is the author of such novels as "The New Life", "The Black Book", "My Name Is Red" and "The White Castle". He has won numerous international awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2006. He lives with his wife and daughter in Istanbul.
Maureen Freely was born in the United States but grew up in Turkey. She is a celebrated translator, the President of English PEN, and the author of several novels, including, most recently, "Sailing through Byzantium".
Praise For…
"Lyrical, vulnerable, deeply human and engaging. . . . [Pamuk] has become one of the essential writers that both East and West can gratefully claim as their own." —Pico Iyer, The New York Times Book Review"Lyrical and reportorial. . . . Forms a remarkably cohesive picture of a literary man." —The Washington Post Book World"Striking and valuable. . . . A triumph." —The New York Review of Books"Reading these pieces one is infused with the sheer joy that exudes from each tale. . . . An autobiography in essays and tales, a book for writers and readers that is never less than captivating." —The Baltimore Sun

Former Massachusetts Governor, Mitt Romney's Bain Capital partner, Edward Conard, argues that what's good for the top 0.1% is good for everyone else too. There are three reasons why his arguments are wrong.
In case you haven't met Conard, the New York Times reports that Mitt Romney hired him after his stint at Wasserstein Perella. Conard suggested that Bain Capital buy a pharmaceutical-test instruments company for under $500 million — it's now worth $7 billion. (Disclosure: I worked on a project with Bain Capital in 1995).
In 2000 Romney put Detroit-native Conard in charge of Bain Capital's New York office and he's now qualified to explain why what's good for him and other members of the top 0.1% — his net worth is estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars – is in the best interests of everyone else.
It's understandable why the Romney campaign is now distancing itself from Conard's ideas. Here are three of the biggest intellectual low-lights produced by this Harvard Business School graduate.
1. Income inequality makes the economy work. Conrad contends that income inequality is better for everyone. If this is so, it would help to learn his explanation of why income inequality peaked in the U.S. at two points in its history that preceded the worst economic collapses in the last hundred years — 1928 and 2007.
In 2007, the top .001% of American earners took home 6% of total U.S. wages — about twice the figure for 2000, noted Emmanuel Saez, an economics professor at University of California–Berkeley back in 2009. Saez also found that the top 10% of American earners pulled in 49.7% of total wages: a level "higher than any other year since 1917 and even surpasses 1928."
Back in March 2007, I asked whether another Great Depression was on the way. How so? Income inequality in 2005 had reached a peak not seen since the year before the kickoff of the Great Depression. After all, back then the top 1% (over $348,000 in income) took home 21.8% — their largest share of national income since 1928.
Depending on how you count, the Great Depression didn't end until World War II production took up the slack — about 12 years. As for the current mess, it has been about five years since the recession officially began in December 2007. And without the $23.7 trillion in government cash and guarantees thrown at Wall Street, things would surely be worse now.
2. Google (GOOG) and Wall Street have the same social benefit. Conard quite seriously conflates the truly beneficial technologies discovered and marketed by Silicon Valley with what Wall Street does. He believes that they both make their executives rich and make consumers better off in the bargain.
This argument is wrong on at least two levels. First, while Google has made people far more productive, Wall Street is a cancer on society — it enriches its executives when times are good, siphons off fees from consumers in exchange for holding on to their money, and when it borrows too much money — which it does every decade or so — government bails it out.

Cannot install X at all
I am a relative Newbie to using the NVIDIA 6200, so I am sorry if this sounds naive.
I have the Gigabyte NF4 GA-KJ8NU-SLI motherboard, their GV-NX6212D NVIDIA 6200 video card, and an AMD 64 3500 CPU. It installed Windows XP just fine, and now I am trying to install RedHat 64 Enterprise 4. Any time (initially, in graphics mode install, later when I start X with text mode) it tries to start graphics, I get hash on the screen. I have read the doc for the Linux driver install, but it is not clear to me how I can get there from here!

New MTV Movie Award categories come and go. Best Kiss has been around since the beginning ("My Girl" co-star Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin were the inaugural winners in 1992), while Sexiest Performance and Best Virtual Performance lasted just a year (congrats, Jessica Alba and Gollum!).
For the 2011 show, one new category joins the field: Best Line From a Movie. Folks like Justin Timberlake ("Social Network"), Taylor Lautner ("Eclipse") and Leonardo DiCaprio ("Inception") will compete to make the final list of nominees.
We should add, however, that we've seen something like this before. For two years at the turn of the millennium, we presented a category called Best Line. Robert De Niro won that first year for asking Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents," "Are you a pothead, Focker?" The next year, "Legally Blonde" star Reese Witherspoon triumphed for delivering this line to Selma Blair: "Oh, I like your outfit too, except when I dress up as a frigid bitch, I try not to look so constipated."
While comedic movie lines won twice in the past, there's no telling what's going to happen this year. Potential nominees are both young ("Grown Ups" star Alexys Nycole Sanchez: "I want to get chocolate wasted!") and, well, not as young ("Tron: Legacy" star Jeff Bridges: "You're really ruining my Zen thing"). There are laugh lines ("With no power, comes no responsibility," Aaron Johnson said in "Kick Ass") and deadly serious ones ("If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook," Jesse Eisenberg declared in "The Social Network"). A few quotes are a little too dirty to print in full ("It's in the shape of a giant co–," cracks Chloë Moretz in "Kick Ass"). And then there are two "Eclipse" quotes facing off against each other: Lautner ("Let's face it, I'm hotter than you") versus Robert Pattinson ("Doesn't he own a shirt?").
Which lines will make the final list of nominees? It's up to you, and voting is already under way at MovieAwards.MTV.com. Polls for Best Line From a Movie and the rest of the categories will stay open through April 5. After the final nominees are announced, another round of voting will kick off on May 3 and run through June 4. But voting for Best Movie will remain open during the awards show itself.
The 20th annual MTV Movie Awards will air live on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Weekly walks and surveys for Garden members and Volunteers
Moths and Orchids
June 9th 2015: Last Saturday Richard Pryce led a group from the Carmarthenshire Wildlife Trust on a very enjoyable and informative Wild Flower walk in the Waun Las Hay Meadow. It was still a little early for the Butterfly Orchids to be in flower, but we did see quite a lot of them in bud. […]Comments Off
Wild Flowers and a Moth
May 19th 2015: Although the Moth trap was set up as usual in Trawscoed Meadow the overnight weather was not very Moth-friendly. Apart from a few Spiders, a loopy little Bug, an unknown Caterpillar and a Micro-Moth later identified by Sam Bosanquet as Ancylis badiana, the solitary Moth we collected was a rather worn Pebble […]Comments Off
Wild flowers
May 12th 2015: A dry but rather windy day and, as we disembarked from our cars there was a discussion as to what we should do. And following on from our previous attempts at identifying Wildflowers, it was decided that we really needed more help. So we naturally turned to Michael and what followed was […]Comments Off
May 5th 2015. Apart from a few spots of rain Tuesday morning defied the forecast and remained dry, though increasingly windy. But the overnight rain had meant no Moths – Marigold didn't want to be faced with all those drowned 'Mother of Pearl' moths like she had had in the bottom of the black box […]Comments Off
April 21st 2015. The recent sunny weather has enabled us to 'collect' the first Moths of the year – not many but always interesting. One Moth was particularly agitated and it took a couple of hours in the fridge before it calmed down enough for Marigold to identify it – a Lunar Marbled Brown. Moth […]Comments Off
Elusive Badgers

Apr 7th 2015: A gloriously sunny, warm day, in complete contrast to last week.

The total count, apart from those which escaped were: […]Comments Off
Late Spring
Mar 24th and 31st. The mean temperature for the year so far has been less than 5C, with both February and March being cooler than January. So the grass isn't growing, the Snowdrops are bidding us a reluctant farewell and the Daffodils are still a bit undecided as to whether they should open or not. […]Comments Off
Mar 17th 2015: A nice dry, mild day for our walk over to Pont Felin Gat to meet up with the Badger surveyor. But before we even got into the Garden Badgers were very much on our mind. The newly awakened set near the back entrance had obviously been active on the Sunday night, but […]Comments Off
Signs of Spring
Mar 10th 2015. A brilliantly sunny morning, but with the rain and frost overnight not quite good enough to tempt the Moths out. The only one Marigold found was a very frayed Mottled Gray perched on the outside of the Moth trap. So, with everyone keen to get outside in the sun we set out […]Comments Off

One in five drug abusers in some treatment programs in the United States received their first taste of these illegal substances from their parents, usually before the age of 18, a new survey says.
The survey found that drug treatment candidates at 70 Phoenix House drug treatment programs in the United States are 19 times more likely to have been introduced to illicit drugs by a family member than a professional drug dealer, according to Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, the national research firm in New York that conducted the study.
Twenty percent obtained the drugs from the parents, and of these 6 percent even used heroin with them.
"These findings should disturb everyone involved in preventing drug use among kids," says Dr. Mitchell S. Rosenthal, a psychiatrist and president of Phoenix House. Rosenthal believes the findings of the survey reveal that too many parents in America view teenage drug use as little more than a right of passage.
Not a Representative Population
The study does not apply to the general population of drug users, however.
"It's important to realize that these are kids who have already gotten in serious trouble with drugs," says Alyse Booth, spokeswoman for the National Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, in New York City, commenting on the study.
" I don't think 20 percent of parents across the country are smoking dope with their kids," she says, yet added, "a large majority of baby boomers did use illegal drugs and are more likely to have a benign attitude [to their kids using them]."
The survey noted similar levels of parent-teen drug sharing among whites, blacks and Hispanics, as well as among urban and suburban residents.
"In this survey we met the neighborhood pusher and he is a lot like us," Phoenix House's Dr. Rosenthal stated.
Stephen Higgins, a professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Vermont in Burlington, says addiction professionals have known for some time that most people are introduced to drug use by friends and relatives and not by a professional pusher. But he says this may be the first formal study that attempts to quantify that phenomenon.
According to the study, 36 percent of respondents were introduced to drugs by a neighborhood friend, 29 percent by a school friend and 19 percent by relatives. Family members who introduced youngsters to drugs include siblings, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and spouses. Of those who used drugs with their parents, 76 percent used marijuana, 19 percent used crack, 16 percent used cocaine and 6 percent used heroin.
Prevention Starts Where?
"The study poses significant questions about drug prevention and education campaigns — which call parents 'the anti-drug' and urge them to talk to their children about drugs — in many households where parents do not embrace anti-drug values," according to a statement issued by Phoenix House.
Other addiction experts also questioned the value of anti-drug tactics in light of the survey. For children who are exposed to drugs at home, school or national drug prevention campaigns become "totally worthless," says Dr. Peter Rogers, a pediatrics and addictions specialist at Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, who also serves on the substance abuse committee of the American Academy of Pedriatics. He called the survey's findings "shocking... even after working in substance abuse for fifteen years."

Giver, not a taker...
I am a 33 year old female looking for a genuine man. I like to do pretty much any activity, as long as I'm in good company. I am a down to earth woman who wears my heart on my sleeve. I am passionate about my job as a high school English teacher. I am also the head speech and debate coach at my high school and travel the country with my students for competition. I am very close to my family, therefore, I am looking for someone who cherishes their family, too. I am looking for a guy that I can be myself around. I love to laugh and be silly. My guy must have a sense of humor. I enjoy a man who's witty and willing to take a joke! I enjoy curling up on the couch to watch a good movie just as much as going out to a nice dinner. I am always looking for ways to better myself, in both my relationships with others and professionally. My guy must be goal oriented like me. I believe in being a giver, rather than a taker.

Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb said his ribs aren't healing correctly and that such is the reason why he's missed significant time, according to Darren Urban. "Whenever the cartilage broke, (the ribs) are laying underneath my sternum," says Kolb. "That's how they are trying to heal, rather than healing where it's butted up straight against it like a normal cracked rib, flush with each other, mine are laid underneath there. That's what extends the process." The Cardinals have received below-average production under center from John Skelton and Ryan Lindley, having dropped out of the playoff hunt after losing Kolb. At this point, the team is more focused on their quarterback resting his ribs for next season considering the voluminous sum of money Arizona has committed to Kolb.
