Graham Greene
Camera Press/RETNA
Graham Greene 1904-1991Among Graham Greene's 24 novels, many of which were adapted into films, were "The Power and the Glory," "The Heart of the Matter," "The Third Man," "The Quiet American," "Our Man in Havana," "The Comedians," "The Honorary Consul" and "The Human Factor."
His plays included "The Living Room," "The Potting Shed" and "The Complaisant Lover," and he wrote dozens of short stories. His work was translated into 27 languages and sold more than 20 million copies in hard-cover and paperback editions.
He also wrote travel books, essays and children's stories, and two autobiographies, "A Sort of Life" and "Ways of Escape." An occasional contributor to newspapers and magazines, he even found time to write strong letters to the editor on political and literary matters.
That Mr. Greene never received the Nobel Prize in Literature was a source of regret and astonishment to many readers and publishing professionals. -- From the obituary, April 4, 1991

Graham Greene Biography Draws Some Outrage
The final volume of Norman Sherry's three-part, 2,251-page biography of Graham Greene was supposed to be the capstone of an obsessive 30-year undertaking, one that would build on the widespread critical success of the first two volumes and take full measure of the man and his achievements. Instead, members of Greene's family are furious that Mr. Sherry chose to highlight Greene's fondness for prostitutes and his sordid sexual pursuits.November 4, 2004 artsNews

28 U.S. Code § 1738A - Full faith and credit given to child custody determinations
(a) The appropriate authorities of every State shall enforce according to its terms, and shall not modify except as provided in subsections (f), (g), and (h) of this section, any custody determination or visitation determination made consistently with the provisions of this section by a court of another State.
(b) As used in this section, the term—
(2) "contestant" means a person, including a parent or grandparent, who claims a right to custody or visitation of a child;
(3) "custody determination" means a judgment, decree, or other order of a court providing for the custody of a child, and includes permanent and temporary orders, and initial orders and modifications;
(4) "home State" means the State in which, immediately preceding the time involved, the child lived with his parents, a parent, or a person acting as parent, for at least six consecutive months, and in the case of a child less than six months old, the State in which the child lived from birth with any of such persons. Periods of temporary absence of any of such persons are counted as part of the six-month or other period;
(5) "modification" and "modify" refer to a custody or visitation determination which modifies, replaces, supersedes, or otherwise is made subsequent to, a prior custody or visitation determination concerning the same child, whether made by the same court or not;
(6) "person acting as a parent" means a person, other than a parent, who has physical custody of a child and who has either been awarded custody by a court or claims a right to custody;
(8) "State" means a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or a territory or possession of the United States; and
(c) A child custody or visitation determination made by a court of a State is consistent with the provisions of this section only if—
(2) one of the following conditions is met:
(A) such State
(ii) had been the child's home State within six months before the date of the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from such State because of his removal or retention by a contestant or for other reasons, and a contestant continues to live in such State;
(i) it appears that no other State would have jurisdiction under subparagraph (A), and (ii) it is in the best interest of the child that a court of such State assume jurisdiction because
(I) the child and his parents, or the child and at least one contestant, have a significant connection with such State other than mere physical presence in such State, and
(II) there is available in such State substantial evidence concerning the child's present or future care, protection, training, and personal relationships;
(C) the child is physically present in such State and
(ii) it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, a sibling, or parent of the child has been subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse;
(i) it appears that no other State would have jurisdiction under subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (E), or another State has declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that the State whose jurisdiction is in issue is the more appropriate forum to determine the custody or visitation of the child, and
(d) The jurisdiction of a court of a State which has made a child custody or visitation determination consistently with the provisions of this section continues as long as the requirement of subsection (c)(1) of this section continues to be met and such State remains the residence of the child or of any contestant.
(e) Before a child custody or visitation determination is made, reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard shall be given to the contestants, any parent whose parental rights have not been previously terminated and any person who has physical custody of a child.
(f) A court of a State may modify a determination of the custody of the same child made by a court of another State, if—
(g) A court of a State shall not exercise jurisdiction in any proceeding for a custody or visitation determination commenced during the pendency of a proceeding in a court of another State where such court of that other State is exercising jurisdiction consistently with the provisions of this section to make a custody or visitation determination.

Report on Effects of Parental Kidnaping Laws in Domestic Violence Cases
Pub. L. 106–386, div. B, title III, § 1303(a)–(c), Oct. 28, 2000, 114 Stat. 1512, provided that:
"(a) In General.—The Attorney General shall—
"(1) conduct a study of Federal and State laws relating to child custody, including custody provisions in protection orders, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in July 1997, the Parental Kidnaping Prevention Act of 1980 [see Short Title of 1980 Amendments note set out under section 1305 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare] and the amendments made by that Act, and the effect of those laws on child custody cases in which domestic violence is a factor; and
"(2) submit to Congress a report describing the results of that study, including the effects of implementing or applying model State laws, and the recommendations of the Attorney General to reduce the incidence or pattern of violence against women or of sexual assault of the child.
"(b) Sufficiency of Defenses.—In carrying out subsection (a) with respect to the Parental Kidnaping Prevention Act of 1980 and the amendments made by that Act, the Attorney General shall examine the sufficiency of defenses to parental abduction charges available in cases involving domestic violence, and the burdens and risks encountered by victims of domestic violence arising from jurisdictional requirements of that Act and the amendments made by that Act.
"(c) Authorization of Appropriations.—There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $200,000 for fiscal year 2001."
[For definitions of "domestic violence" and "sexual assault" as used in section 1303(a)–(c) of Pub. L. 106–386, set out above, see section 1002 ofPub. L. 106–386, set out as a note under section 3796gg–2 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare.]
Congressional Findings and Declaration of Purpose
Pub. L. 96–611, § 7,Dec. 28, 1980, 94 Stat. 3568, provided that:
"(a) The Congress finds that—
"(1) there is a large and growing number of cases annually involving disputes between persons claiming rights of custody and visitation of children under the laws, and in the courts, of different States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the territories and possessions of the United States;
"(2) the laws and practices by which the courts of those jurisdictions determine their jurisdiction to decide such disputes, and the effect to be given the decisions of such disputes by the courts of other jurisdictions, are often inconsistent and conflicting;
"(3) those characteristics of the law and practice in such cases, along with the limits imposed by a Federal system on the authority of each such jurisdiction to conduct investigations and take other actions outside its own boundaries, contribute to a tendency of parties involved in such disputes to frequently resort to the seizure, restraint, concealment, and interstate transportation of children, the disregard of court orders, excessive relitigation of cases, obtaining of conflicting orders by the courts of various jurisdictions, and interstate travel and communication that is so expensive and time consuming as to disrupt their occupations and commercial activities; and
"(4) among the results of those conditions and activities are the failure of the courts of such jurisdictions to give full faith and credit to the judicial proceedings of the other jurisdictions, the deprivation of rights of liberty and property without due process of law, burdens on commerce among such jurisdictions and with foreign nations, and harm to the welfare of children and their parents and other custodians.
"(b) For those reasons it is necessary to establish a national system for locating parents and children who travel from one such jurisdiction to another and are concealed in connection with such disputes, and to establish national standards under which the courts of such jurisdictions will determine their jurisdiction to decide such disputes and the effect to be given by each such jurisdiction to such decisions by the courts of other such jurisdictions.
"(c) The general purposes of sections 6 to 10 of this Act [enacting this section and section 663 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, amending sections 654 and 655 Title 42, and enacting provisions set out as notes under this section, sections 663 and 1305 of Title 42, and section 1073 of Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedure] are to—
"(1) promote cooperation between State courts to the end that a determination of custody and visitation is rendered in the State which can best decide the case in the interest of the child;
"(2) promote and expand the exchange of information and other forms of mutual assistance between States which are concerned with the same child;
"(3) facilitate the enforcement of custody and visitation decrees of sister States;
"(4) discourage continuing interstate controversies over child custody in the interest of greater stability of home environment and of secure family relationships for the child;
"(5) avoid jurisdictional competition and conflict between State courts in matters of child custody and visitation which have in the past resulted in the shifting of children from State to State with harmful effects on their well-being; and
"(6) deter interstate abductions and other unilateral removals of children undertaken to obtain custody and visitation awards."
State Court Proceedings for Custody Determinations; Priority Treatment; Fees, Costs, and Other Expenses
Pub. L. 96–611, § 8(c),Dec. 28, 1980, 94 Stat. 3571, provided that: "In furtherance of the purposes of section 1738A of title 28, United States Code, as added by subsection (a) of this section, State courts are encouraged to—
"(1) afford priority to proceedings for custody determinations; and
"(2) award to the person entitled to custody or visitation pursuant to a custody determination which is consistent with the provisions of such section 1738A, necessary travel expenses, attorneys' fees, costs of private investigations, witness fees or expenses, and other expenses incurred in connection with such custody determination in any case in which—
"(A) a contestant has, without the consent of the person entitled to custody or visitation pursuant to a custody determination which is consistent with the provisions of such section 1738A, (i) wrongfully removed the child from the physical custody of such person, or (ii) wrongfully retained the child after a visit or other temporary relinquishment of physical custody; or
"(B) the court determines it is appropriate."

Candice Hershman, Psychology
Candice HershmanPsychology Alumni
Candice Miller Hershman says her experience as a Saybrook Marriage and Family Therapy student has been so positive that "I consider Saybrook my home away from home."
"It's amazing, being a distance learning school, how fond I am of the Saybrook community," she says. "The faculty are really, really, accessible, amazing people – I'm impressed with the way they interact with students, I'm impressed with their humaneness. Whenever I go to a Saybrook Residential Conference, I feel like I'm going on vacation."
But she almost didn't make it here: her first experience with academic psychology was so disappointing she actually dropped out of school.
Candice says she didn't have a lot of family support as a kid. "I was pretty troubled, I was in therapy, and I needed a lot of outside support."
She got it. People were there for her, "and I think that really influenced me." So much, in fact, that it made her want to be a therapist herself, and help others.
But after becoming a psychology major at her first college, she realized they weren't offering her anything she cared about.
"It was all about running rats through mazes," she said. "The course work was very dry. Their view of human beings was a little archaic and based on sickness: there wasn't a lot of inspiring material that spoke to me the way I wanted to speak to others."
So she left without a degree and got on with her life. She became a mother with a busy schedule, and eventually moved to northern California. Even though her college experience had been bad, her dream hadn't died, and eventually she decided to give psychology another try – this time at Sonoma State University, which she soon discovered was one of the founding schools of humanistic psychology.
"Discovering humanistic psychology was huge for me," she remembers. "It was revelatory. I not only fell in love with psychology again, I started making big life changes. I took my education a lot more seriously – I started doing creative things again, something that I'd completely lost from my life."
As she finished her undergrad work, there was no question that Candice wanted to practice psychology – and that she wanted a humanistic education. Her advisors recommended Saybrook.
"It was also the right choice for me because Saybrook is very good at accommodating busy lives like mine, where I want to make my kids a priority," she says. "The flexibility to build your own program is essential –I really need a program where I can structure my academic stuff around the rest of my life. I get that here."
Most importantly, she's got a degree she can use. "I chose Marriage and Family Therapy because I wanted the stability that degree offers. I think Saybrook's done a really good job of teaching in a way that prepares students for exams and licensing requirements: they give us a very comprehensive view of therapy, and expose us to a lot of models in an informed and objective way."
Now that she has her masters she's acquiring her MFT license, and returning to Saybrook for a doctorate in Psychology. Once again, she's confident this is the school for her. "The program directors really encouraged me to design my own program in a way that fits my needs – I feel really supported advocating for what I want and need."

Volleyball Sweeps Georgetown For 20th Win
OMAHA, Neb. -- Jess Bird and Michelle Sicner had double-doubles as Creighton Volleyball swept Georgetown for its 20th victory of the season on Friday night before 1,336 fans at D.J. Sokol Arena. Scores of the match were 25-19, 25-17, 27-25.
The victory lifts Creighton to 20-7 on the season and 11-4 in BIG EAST competition. CU is now in a three-way tie for second in the BIG EAST with Butler and Xavier and holds the tiebreaker over both fellow BIG EAST newcomers.
Georgetown closes its season with a 10-19 mark and was 4-12 in BIG EAST play.
Sicner had 36 assists and 16 digs for her team-best 13th double-double of the fall, while Bird had her ninth double-dip of her freshman campaign with 11 kills and 11 digs. Creighton finished the night with 46 kills, six aces, 66 digs and six blocks on .165 hitting.
Georgetown was paced by nine kills by Ashlie Williams, while MacKenzie Simpson had a match-best 18 digs. The Hoyas had 31 kills, three aces, 63 digs and six blocks on .128 hitting.
Leah McNary helped Creighton to a 25-19 win in the first set, generating five kills among CU's first 11 points. Down 4-2 early, Kelli Browning served up a 7-0 run that gave CU a lead it would never surrender, capping the set win on a Kate Elman service ace. McNary finished the frame with six kills while Sicner had eight assists and nine digs to lead the win.
Creighton never trailed in the second set, a 25-17 win. CU led 8-7 before breaking away with a 10-3 burst to build a comfortable cushion. Bird had eight kills in the frame while Sicner had 15 assists and five digs.
Georgetown overcame a 20-16 deficit late in the third set and would own a pair of set point opportunities, but Creighton turned away both chances on kills by McNary and Bird to even the score at 25-all. CU would get a kill from Browning to reach match point, where Elman served up an ace to end the contest. Six women had multiple kills in the third set.
Creighton closes out the regular-season on Sunday with a 1 pm match vs. Villanova. Savannah Smith will be honored prior to the contest as part of Senior Day.
NOTES: The victory secured Creighton's fifth 20-win season, all of which have come since 2006 ... Marquette clinched the No. 1 seed in next week's BIG EAST Tournament with a win over Xavier on Friday ... The win was Creighton's 300th victory since restarting the program in 1994 ... Jess Bird's double-double was the sixth in the freshman's last eight outings.

Service Learning in Guatemala
The Department of Occupational Therapy is again offering an international academic service learning option for occupational therapy majors in Summer 2015 (May 30 - June 7).
Occupational therapy majors are currently required to complete 30 hours of service learning. Traditionally, this has been accomplished in the greater Cincinnati area where students have worked with and learned from persons who sustained traumatic brain injuries, are mentally ill, developmentally disabled, or local elementary school children.
Now, they have yet another option - to work with and learn from children who live in homes for children in Guatemala. Faculty, practitioners, and colleagues of the Department of Occupational Therapy accompany them. This is an exciting opportunity and privilege for all. Please freely continue to visit this website to learn more.
The 2014 trip was again a huge success! ... On a post-trip survey, an over-whelming majority of the 24 participants rated the overall trip very good or excellent and reported they would go again or recommend the trip to others.

FSUNow Stories
Fairmont State University's roots reach back to the formation of public education in the state of West Virginia. In 2015, students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community are celebrating Fairmont State's 150th birthday with special remembrances and events.
As part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration, author Dr. M. Raymond Alvarez will present a talk about his recent book "The Normal on Fairmont Avenue." The event will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, at the Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center on the main campus.
The Fairmont State University College of Liberal Arts honored its high achieving students during the fifth annual Academic Awards Ceremony at the end of the spring 2015 semester.
Dr. Deanna Shields, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts; Dr. Maria Rose, FSU President; and Bill Holmes of the Fairmont State Foundation Inc. presented greetings and congratulations to the students for their academic achievements.
Department of Behavioral Sciences
In celebration of Fairmont State University's Sesquicentennial, the Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center has created an exhibit titled "On a Hill by a Dream," which features FSU history, traditions and lore.
The title for the exhibition was taken from a poem by Louise McNeill, West Virginia's former Poet Laureate who taught history at Fairmont State. The following quote is from her "Chestnut Orchard" ("Paradox Hill: From Appalachia to Lunar Shore"):
"Back through the years beyond time and space,
On a hill—by a dream—we will find that place."

Radek Martinek Skating at Iceworks
According to the media at Iceworks today, Radek Martinek is informally skating with the Islanders. Training camp hasn't offically started, so many of the players are working out on their own to get ready for the season. It's possible that Martinek would get a training camp invite, especially given the Visnovsky situation.

Since I am nto at home on my linux box, and I left my laptops at home, I can't say for certain, but from what I see sata_nv is in the kernel tree, and has been for some time now (at least 2.6.8).
I just got a Dell box and want to do a fresh Debian network install on
it. It currently has Windows Vista on it.
The box has a Nvidia nForce Sata controller and according to Nvidia the linux driver for it is called sata_nv and has been included in all linux distributions for the last couple 2 years. The Nvidia guy said to use the Force4 dirvers. Currently Windows reports a Nvidia nForce 430/410 Serial ATA controller. I also have a Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
When I do the network install, I select English for all the initial
defaults. Then the system try to load a bunch of drivers and stops on
IDE driver. After awhile, a message shows up saying that is was
unable to locate a cdrom. Yes it has loaded at the initial software
from it.
The cdrom that I have installed on this system is a Sony CRX310S with
a SATA interface. In fact the disk and the cdrom/DVD drives are both
I have a few questions
1- Is that sata_nv driver that NVIDIA talks about, included in the
network install of Debian?
2- if so, how do I tell Debian to load it for all drives. Are there
switches when loading the driver?
Is there a document that talks about this?
Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the reply, I also beleive that I it is in there but I don't know how to check. Can you give me a hint?
Also, my cdrom is not being detected because it is also connected to the SATA controller, any suggestions on how to get Linux to see the cdrom?
Thanks for your help

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Baseball team swept Lawrence University 7-3 and 5-0 on Sunday at The Ballpark at Strong Stadium to complete a four-game sweep in the Midwest Conference-opening series.
The Bucs came from behind in the game one win. Playing as the visiting team for both games because of Lawrence's unplayable field, Beloit jumped on top in the opening inning when Grant Henricksen launched his second home run over the left field wall. They made it 2-0 in the fourth with Alex Lawrence scoring unearned on Tyler Peacock's bloop single. But the Vikings cut the lead in half in the fourth with an unearned run and then scored two in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead.
Lawrence held that narrow lead until the top of the ninth. Pinch-hitter Adrian Peil singled in Andrew Edwards to tie it at 3-all before Sean Little laid down a perfect bunt single to plate pinch-runner Joey Casa with the lead run. Jerrick Habecker's sacrifice fly to left made it a two-run cushion and then Henricksen drove in two with a single to left to put the icing on the cake. Henricksen then struck out two of the three he faced in the bottom of nine to seal it.
Andrew Kane got the win with an inning of scoreless relief. Peacock and Matt Meade had two hits in the game.
In the nightcap, Beloit put all the runs they'd need on the board in the second on RBI singles by Danny Corrall and Ethan Blumenthal. They tacked on three in the seventh, two of them unearned. Henricksen had the big hit with a two-run double. Little drove in the third run.
Joe Loftus got the win, going 5 1/3 innings while giving up four hits and striking out one. Patrick McKnight recorded his second save with 3 2/3 innings of work, giving up two hits while striking out four. The win gave the Buccaneers three shutouts in the four-game series.
The Bucs play Rockford College at Road Ranger Stadium in Loves Park on Wednesday before starting an MWC series at Ripon College on Saturday. First pitch is at 1:00 p.m.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- Following a statewide property tax cap that has left some Erie and Niagara County communities feeling the crunch, Governor Cuomo is proposing a measure that could help ease the pressure.
The measure would limit union raises to two percent for local governments in financial distress, provided they enter into binding arbitration.
Cheektowaga Supervisor Mary Holtz said she thinks the proposal could help municipalities like hers, which is one of 23 local communities that are on the "distressed list."
"We were saying with two police contracts not settled, and we kept extra money in our funds set aside, because we didn't know what was going to happen," she said. "I mean, you go to binding arbitration and we're asking for two percent, they might give them three, four or five percent. You just don't know what's going to go through with binding arbitration."
Governments qualify as financially distressed if their taxes are in the top 25 percent in the state and their reserves make up less than five percent of their operating budget.
Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Lackawanna, Tonawanda, North Tonawanda and Lockport are all on the list, making up all of our major cities. Many towns are on the list as well, including Cheektowaga, West Seneca and Tonawanda. Twelve local villages are on the list as well.
But Supervisor Holtz said state and federal aid cuts are partially to blame for the finances of the distressed areas.
"You can't take money out of the communities, tell them to keep a 2 percent cap, and then say lower your taxes and then call you fiscally distressed," she said.
The Town of Cheektowaga was fortunate. Holtz said it recently negotiated most of its municipal contracts and got by with a two-percent increase without arbitration.
"[Two percent] is a good mark, because of the two percent cap, Holtz said. "And in this day and age, a two percent raise is a pretty good raise."
Other cities, towns and villages are still in talks with their unions.

LOWVILLE A Lewis County legislators plan to seek a sales tax increase was narrowly defeated Tuesday evening.
Legislators voted 5-5 on a resolution proposed by Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville, to request an increase in the county sales tax rate from 3.75 percent to 4 percent. The tax is collected at the sale of merchandise along with the states 4 percent tax.
We have to be proactive about what were doing next year, Mr. Hathway said. And the property owners can only do so much.
However, while six votes are needed for passage on the 10-member Legislature, the District 1 legislator was able to secure support only from Legislature Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham; Vice Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, and Legislators Charles R. Fanning, R-Copenhagen, and William J. Burke, R-West Lowville.
I think the people are taxed out, said Legislator Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden. Maybe the thing to do is cut.
Mr. King expressed concern that an increase in sales tax projected to net $633,333 more in revenue than the $9.5 million budgeted for 2013 would not be used to decrease property taxes but simply give more leeway for increased spending. He also speculated that much of the countys sales tax revenues stem from gasoline sales, meaning a tax hike likely would increase the pain at the pump.
Mr. Hathway argued that, because of expected increases in state-mandated programs, more taxes probably will need to be collected. A sales tax hike would spread the increase among more people including visitors to the county than the property tax, he said.
Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, said he didnt feel the timing was right to increase another tax on residents.
I just dont think right now we can throw it at them, he said.
Any sales tax increase would require home rule legislation to be passed by the state Legislature and signed by the governor.
At a session prior to the regular meeting, state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, and Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, told county lawmakers that getting state approval for a sales tax increase could be tenuous at best.
While home rule legislation was relatively simple to get passed a few years ago, state lawmakers are more hesitant to do so now, particularly for tax increases, Mr. Griffo said.
A bill that would have allowed any counties to raise their local sales tax rates to 4 percent, if they hadnt already done so, didnt go anywhere in the Assembly, Mr. Blankenbush added.
Mr. Griffo said he would need to gauge the viewpoint of the 2013 version of the state Legislature and determine if the governor continues to oppose such tax increases before deciding how to proceed with any sales tax increase request.
The senator, as he had previously done with St. Lawrence County lawmakers, suggested that a sales tax rate hike would be more apt to gain approval in Albany if it was first approved by county residents through a referendum.
During the regular meeting discussion, Mr. Tabolt said it was encouraging to hear that a public vote could provide weight in the matter.
Youre right, Mr. Hathway said. Let the people decide.
However, that notion fell one vote short.
Lewis County in June 2004, following passage of state enabling legislation, enacted a local sales tax rate increase from 3 percent to 3.75 percent to help offset increases in Medicaid, retirement and health insurance costs. That hike was renewed in late 2005 and every two years thereafter, with the next expiration date set for Nov. 30, 2013.

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I am all about trying to make our hectic life simpler. If it happens to be better for the environment along the way that is even better. So when I heard about the great products that Dropps had to offer I knew I had to try them!
Believe it or not the Dropps journey began in the 80′s. With chunky sweaters all the rage washing them became a hassle. They would get stretched out and turn colors because of the harsh detergents everyone used. So the wonderful people at Dropps removed the enzymes from the detergent and the end result was clothes that looked more vibrant and kept their shape. But wait it gets even better, they made their detergent convenient too! By putting it in tiny dissolvable pacs they were not only making laundry convenient for everyone, especially moms, but they were cutting down on packaging and waste making it even better for the environment.
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Laundry Dropps in the fresh scent and the scent and dye free. As soon as I saw them I thought to myself there was no way that this tiny thing was going to wash an entire load of laundry. I tossed one of the scent and dye free pacs into the washing machine as it filled with water and I watched it start to dissolve then I piled Princess P's clothes on top of it. When the I pulled the clothes out of the dryer I was pleasantly surprised to find them completely clean and soft! Ok, so they passed the test on the little one's clothes but what about mine and C's? After washing a load of our clothes with the fresh scent Dropps I found them in the same condition as P's, soft and clean with a great smell to boot! I am loving these handy 6x concentrated laundry pacs. They are definitely making our crazy life run a bit smoother.
To Enter: You must visit Dropps and tell me how you can benefit from them the most.

Emmanuelle Antille explains her design inspirations:
"As an artist, I found the project of creating a Swatch watch very interesting: how to think about an everyday object, a simple and functional object that is a part of people's everyday life, an object of desire for a brand that is very close to its public, and very iconic. All these thoughts were absolutely new to me and to my artistic work. From a series of photographs that I made around the sub-ject of tattoos and the Family Leu - an illustrious family of tattoo artists - I chose here to continue this work for Swatch and use patterns, tattooed by Filip Leu, and to work with the watch as a skin substitute, a removable graft, a strange decoration or a trophy."

Acts chapter 4
21Then when [the rulers and council members] had further threatened them, they let them go, not seeing how they could secure a conviction against them because of the people; for everybody was praising and glorifying God for what had occurred.
22For the man on whom this sign (miracle) of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23After they were permitted to go, [the apostles] returned to their own [company] and told all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24And when they heard it, lifted their voices together with one united mind to God and said, O Sovereign Lord, You are He Who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that is in them.
25Who by the mouth of our forefather David, Your servant and child, said through the Holy Spirit, Why did the heathen (Gentiles) become wanton and insolent and rage, and the people imagine and study and plan vain (fruitless) things [that will not succeed]?
26The kings of the earth took their stand in array [for attack] and the rulers were assembled and combined together against the Lord and against His Anointed (Christ, the Messiah).
27For in this city they actually met and plotted together against Your holy Child and Servant Jesus, Whom You consecrated by anointing, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and peoples of Israel.
28To carry out all that Your hand and Your will and purpose had predestined (predetermined) should occur.
29And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants [full freedom] to declare Your message fearlessly,
30While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus.
31And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.
Dear Friends
I love writing these messages and I hope you are enjoying reading them.
As I look into this passage, there are some things that the Lord has brought to my attention and I wish to share them with you.
I wonder if your church was/is going through persecution, what would it's reaction be?
Wonder what would happen if your Pastor came and said to the church, that he had been told not to preach the gospel and to water down his message?
Seems far fetched doesn't it? But in many countries in the world, this is the situation that many individual believers and churches are in. Maybe in future days, we in the so called Western world, are going to face this type of persecution. So how do we react to it?
Firstly in Verse 24, the church had an attitude of praise. They actually praised God because they were going through this season of hardship and persecution. Peter wrote later in his first letter, that we were to rejoice and give thanks for going through persecution. What is our reaction to such times? Do we complain or praise God?
Also in verse 24, their voices were lifted up in unity. God does allow His church to be persecuted.. amen. The reason He will, is to purify it, so that it becomes a stronger and more powerful witness in it's community.
They also held dear to the doctrine of the Sovereignty of God. My beloved Pastor Mark, was preaching on this subject on Sunday Evening and said that it was a great source of comfort to the church. Why is this? Well the believer and church, who knows like the early believers did that God is totally and completely in control of everything that happened to them, will not be moved or shaken by events going on around them.. Amen
Can I ask you, do you believe the Lord is in control of every circumstance of your life? Romans 8:28
They also gave the threats made by the authorities, over to the Lord. Please remember that God sees everything that happens to you and he is your avenger, it is not up to you to avenge yourself, leave it to God.
Their prayer in verse 29, should be our prayer.. amen. To declare the message without fear. I know in my case, that the primary reason, I find it so hard to share the gospel is fear. The apostles and the early church, had no such fear. Let us all pray that the barrier of fear would be removed.. Amen!
When the prayer meeting had finished, the whole house shook, with the power of God.
Let me ask you this.
When was the last time, that your life or church shook with the power of God through the Holy Spirit?
Church, we are so often shaken by things going on in the world, when the scenario should be that the church should be shaking the world.. Amen!
We need to wake up and start shaking and shaping the world.. Amen.
God bless you

BGA: Jets at Steelers – Part One
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible.
Note: Your feedback suggested you guys preferred BGA to be split into two parts, so we'll deal with the offense first. Defense and special teams will be covered in part two to follow later today…
Coming up, your breakdown of yesterday's 27-10 loss to the Steelers, together with detailed analysis of personnel groupings and individual performance.
Join me after the jump as I attempt to cover every angle.
Was I imagining things, or did that first half really happen? Coming off their big win on opening weekend, the Jets seemingly showed that they could, at worst, be competitive with a top team, even when missing a couple of key players. Or so it seemed. They then turned in a putrid second half performance where they achieved almost nothing on offense and the defense paid the price, looking exhausted by the time the Steelers iced the game with a time consuming fourth quarter drive.
So, what happened? Well, that's presumably what you're here to find out, but sometimes it's challenging to figure out how a game can spiral out of control so badly. It does happen though, as anyone who also watched the Giants game will have seen.
People will point to coaching adjustments and perhaps suggest that the Jets were outcoached and failed to respond to adjustments. While I'm sure there is some truth to that, it's difficult to find any obvious adjustments the Steelers made to their system because they're a team that rarely changes their formations or rotations. However, they did rattle the Jets with blitzes and their secondary played with extreme physicality – which while it cost them a few penalties, certainly seemed to pay off in the long run.
While the game came down to a few key moments (Jeremy Kerley fumble, jump ball touchdown on third and long), the biggest key was the Jets' inability to bring down Ben Roethlisberger in the pocket – which ultimately prevented them from getting off the field on third downs – which they forced a ton of. Perhaps more disconcerting was the way the offense completely ground to a halt after looking sharp early on. The Steelers are a good defense, but when they're missing two of their better players, you have to be able to gain more than 68 yards in 40 minutes.
After having led for much of the first half, the Jets gave up a touchdown after a costly penalty and a whiffed opportunity to sack Roethlisberger on third down in the red zone. That was a sign of things to come. At that point the Jets trailed 13-10 and decided not to try and score with a minute remaining in the first half, causing plenty of consternation and debate amongst Jets fans.
It didn't surprise me at all when they did that, even though the Jets had called a timeout on the first play after the two minute warning, seemingly to try and leave time on the clock. Not risking a turnover and playing it safe does seem to be the prevailing strategy around the league in such situations. After the Steelers picked up a first down but didn't score on the play after the timeout, the Jets left the clock running, so I'd imagine they would have made an effort to advance the ball if the Steelers scored with two minutes on the clock, then changed their thinking. Also playing on their mind would have been the fact that the Steelers had two timeouts of their own and could theoretically have got the ball back themselves if the Jets went three and out.
However, the biggest thing that would have impacted the Jets' thinking here is that the last time they played the Steelers (in the 2010 AFC Title Game), they tried to advance the ball in an almost identical situation and the Steelers ended up returning a fumble for a back-breaking score. How badly would Rex have been killed if he allowed that to happen again? While he shouldn't care what people might say to him, lightning does sometimes strike twice and you can understand him being jaded.
So, they returned the kickoff and handed the ball off to ensure the Steelers couldn't get the ball back, with their thinking perhaps being that if the return or the run gained significant yards, then they might take a shot downfield. It didn't, so they basically ate the ball and went in satisfied with a three point deficit. The risk of a turnover was considered too great, despite the fact that the Jets have fumbled the ball whilst running and returning kicks so far this season, but have actually protected it pretty well so far in the passing game.
What the Jets did in that situation was to play the percentages, which is a good thing. I'm just not convinced they played those percentages correctly.
Let's get into some individual and position group analysis…
Here's a game where Mark Sanchez had a terrible statline. He only completed 10-of-27 passes, but that included a long period where he was just 3-for-17. While it may seem like he was victimized by a lot of drops, there were only really two clear drops on plays that counted. However, a couple of others were off the fingertips or broken up and there were a few plays that were dropped but ended up not counting because there was a penalty anyway. Also, there were a few obvious examples of his receivers not being on the same page as him. Therefore, you could certainly say that he didn't get too much help from his receivers.
Without seeing the coaches film, I wouldn't like to comment on whether he was missing open receivers or not, but it did seem like the Steelers did a good job of staying with their men. Breaking down his performance, he didn't have many bad throws and, in fact, PFF gave him a positive grade, despite his numbers, suggesting they thought he had more good throws than bad.
Obviously most of those good throws came on the first two drives, where he looked decisive and sharp. He threw a laser to Kerley for a big gain and made it look easy on his touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes. He also had a deep incompletion to Stephen Hill, which was a well-thrown ball. He did have a couple of throws to Holmes that sailed on him – including one to the end zone – and misfired on a dump-off to the flat to Bilal Powell, but that probably only cost him a five-yard gain.
Looking for positives, the main one is that he didn't turn the ball over. I'd also say that although he was sacked a couple of times late in the game, his blitz recognition and throwing to his hot read seems to have improved. They didn't see a great deal of success on these plays, but last year he was getting sacked or hit in those situations on a regular basis. He definitely needs to regroup, though, as his inability to lead the team to any second half success was disconcerting.
Tim Tebow entered the game just once on offense, stayed in for three plays and then returned to the bench. However, I did notice a few occasions where he went to enter the game and then returned to the sideline, suggesting that either the Jets changed their mind or that they were just trying to get the Steelers' personnel packages mixed up. As I noted earlier, they don't change up their personnel very often, so this would have more effect against most other teams.
The first two plays went particularly well, as Tebow ran for 22 and then handed to Joe McKnight who avoided a couple of tackles in the backfield and gained 12. The next play saw Shonn Greene run wide for a big loss as the Steelers saw it coming a mile off and stayed at home as the Jets' attempted misdirection (Austin Howard and Brandon Moore pulled left) just meant there were two defenders and only one blocker out in front of Greene. Sanchez re-entered the game and threw two incompletions, but you couldn't say this took him out of his rhythm, because there was no way he was in rhythm at the point where Tebow entered.
Offensive Line
The offensive line didn't do a bad job this week. They weren't great in the running game, but it was definitely an improvement over last week. First contact was half a yard further downfield this week and they only allowed Sanchez to be sacked twice (once on the very last play of the game) and hit three times (two of which were unattributed). Once again, the Jets used extra blockers and quick passes to mitigate the pressure to some extent, but they did block well as a unit in pass protection. The run blocking is not quite there yet in terms of cohesiveness, but they are moving in the right direction.
As Jets fans will be used to, most of the pressure surrendered by the offensive line came from the right side. Austin Howard had his hands full with Lamarr Woodley, giving up a sack, a hit and four hurries, which in the scheme of things perhaps isn't that bad, but it's obvious the Jets will still need to scheme around this. In the running game, Howard had a positive impact, with a good drive block on one play, a pulling block where he surged right up the middle with the runner behind him and some good work in short yardage situations, but he wasn't perfect by any means, getting beaten inside on one run that was bottled up.
At the other tackle position, it was another pretty encouraging performance from D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who just got beaten once for a late pressure. His man also picked up a sack on the last play, but that was on a play where Ferguson had blocked his man and Sanchez ran into him as he tried to escape the pocket. Ferguson was definitely helped by the fact that James Harrison was out, as Chris Carter and Jason Worilds don't pose the same kind of challenge. In the running game, Ferguson was much more involved this week making a driving block on Brett Keisel on one play, taking him 10 yards downfield. However, he whiffed badly on a second level block early in the game and got beaten inside once.
It goes without saying that Nick Mangold turned in another strong performance. There was one play where he didn't sustain his block and his man got in on the stop, but otherwise he was consistently driving his man out of the play or turning him aside to create a running lane. Naturally he didn't give up any pressure in pass protection either. He really is the best in the business.
At left guard, it may surprise you to note that Vladimir Ducasse rotated series with Matt Slauson in the second half. If you didn't notice, that shows how far Ducasse has come, because he'd often stick out like a sore thumb when called into action in the past. Unfortunately, because the Steelers controlled the ball for so much of the second half, this limited Ducasse to 10 snaps, so we didn't really get much chance to evaluate him. However, he was clean in six pass pass blocking plays and had a tremendous block (double-teaming with Mangold) to open the hole for Tebow's big run.
Ducasse had also filled in on two first half snaps, although it's unclear whether Slauson, who was in on the first play of that series, was injured. The first of those plays was bottled up, as Ducasse's assignment is to let his man get inside him and then drive him out of the play, with Ferguson kicking his man to the outside and Mangold driving the other right-sided linebacker to the outside and John Conner making a lead block up the middle. Unfortunately, the timing was way off, as Ducasse drove his man laterally, but straight into Conner, while Brandon Moore on the other side also allowed his man to get inside leverage. That was the only play where Ducasse was unable to complete his assignment, but that was more of a team breakdown than him being at fault.
We now need to consider why Ducasse got this playing time. I haven't seen any reports that Slauson was injured, although perhaps these will surface later. Is it a sign that they think Ducasse will be ready to start soon? Are they ensuring he gets some experience because they anticipate one of the guards not lasting the whole season? Are they grooming him for a starting role next year? Is it an effort to ensure Slauson doesn't get worn down? Are there certain plays that Ducasse does better, so they are trying to get him on the field to execute these? I don't know, but it's probably a combination of these factors.
It could also be an effort to push Slauson, who actually played pretty well. He did a flawless job in pass protection and had a couple of good run blocks. There was one play where he missed his man on a pulling block and another where he may have blocked the wrong guy at the second level, letting another run past him to make the stop.
Brandon Moore uncharacteristically surrendered a pressure and a hit in pass protection. According to PFF, that's the first time he's allowed a hit or sack in a regular season game since Thanksgiving Day in 2010 (although I still maintain that he gave up one last year). In the running game, he misfired on a couple of pulling blocks, but drove his man out of the play once, did a good job in short yardage and had a great block on Tebow's run in a mostly positive display.
Jason Smith was in on 16 snaps, which is significant. Remember that his contract voids if he plays over 31% of the snaps? He's currently at 29%. It will probably be easier to restructure his deal and retain him if the deal doesn't void. Would they want to retain him? I think we need a bigger sample size. His athleticism is certainly impressive – on one play they motioned him over to a full back position. He didn't allow any pressure, although he was half-beaten once and had to recover. There was also one running play where he got beaten on the inside.
Running Backs
While it was good to see the Jets average over four yards per carry, they actually only averaged just over three yards per carry on non-wildcat runs. While that's a minor concern, it does show how the wildcat can give a boost to the running game when it's floundering.
Shonn Greene left the game with possible concussion symptoms in the first half, having gained 23 yards on seven carries. In the second half, he carried four times for zero yards and also made a couple of mistakes in pass protection, holding Ryan Clark and stumbling over to allow a pressure. Should he have even been in the game? I can't answer that, but he had a terrible time of it in the second half.
I did notice him making a couple of bad decisions and showing a lack of patience in this one and I wonder if he's struggling to adjust to the power blocking scheme. As you'll recall, he was in a zone blocking scheme in Iowa and when he broke out at the end of the 2009 season, that was at a time when the Jets were using a lot of zone blocking plays – more than they ever did in 2010 or 2011. I like Greene and think he's a reliable back, but yesterday was a rare occasion where I felt he left some yards on the field.
Powell stepped in pretty well for Greene with one nice run where he bounced it to the outside and a couple of short yardage conversions. He also stayed in to block 12 times and there was only one occasion where he was half beaten. It's a pity he doesn't have more speed, because a more athletic back could have turned that run to the outside into a huge gain.
McKnight was only in on one play on offense (and none at cornerback!) On that play – having taken a handoff from Tebow on a Jet Sweep he made a couple of great cuts to gain 12 yards. Perhaps they should get him involved more.
Finally, John Conner went down with a knee injury on the kickoff just after the Steelers had stretched their lead to 20-10. After that point, they only had two non-wildcat runs, which gained five and three yards. As a blocker, he had a couple of good blocks early, but got in his teammates' way a couple of times and had two bad missed blocks later on. If he is out for any extended period of time, they could opt to just use a tight end such as Konrad Reuland in the backfield, although Jason Smith and Nick Bellore represent two possible emergency options.
Remember the last game of last season, when the Jets only threw to Holmes once? This was the exact opposite of that, as the Jet lined up for 59 plays and Sanchez threw to him 16 times. That's over a quarter of the time and just under half of all dropbacks. Five of those plays didn't count because of a penalty (one holding penalty negated what looked like it may have been a low catch, although it was ruled incomplete on the field and Holmes drew four first downs on penalties). Of the other 11, two were not direct targets – one was more of a throw away and another looked to be aimed at Kerley, but landed closer to Holmes as Kerley cut off his route. However, that still leaves nine targets, of which Holmes only caught three. He had a nice first down and then a touchdown on the opening drive, but then didn't make another catch until a meaningless dump-off pass in the last minute.
Of the six he didn't catch, Holmes dropped two, although he was hit from behind before the ball arrived as one of these hit him in the chest. That came one play after he had drawn what looked to be a dubious pass interference flag, so he was never going to get that call. Holmes compounded his bad day by dropping passes on two of the plays where he was interfered with – one as his arm was grabbed and the other as he made the catch, but then had the ball jarred loose by the safety before he established control. These don't officially count as drops because of the penalty, but there were definitely opportunities where he could have improved on his disappointing numbers.
I tried to make an assessment of why they threw to Holmes quite so much, but obviously without the benefit of the coaches film (available later in the week), it's difficult to evaluate this. With Dustin Keller out, Holmes was perhaps the target Sanchez felt comfortable with and perhaps if the gameplan had been to throw eight times each to Holmes and a healthy Keller, that might have opened some things up for other people.
It was disappointing that Stephen Hill didn't register a catch, although he did get semi-open on a deep route in the first half. The resulting pass was well-thrown and bounced off his hands, but I'd hesitate to call it a clean drop because the cornerback actually grabbed his arm as the ball arrived. Hill was only targeted one more time and the Steelers did a good job of not letting him get open, including putting a linebacker on him to be physical with him at the line and slow him up whenever he was in the slot.
Kerley got open downfield for a 45-yard gain to set up the first touchdown. That would have been the Jets' second longest play of the season had it happened last year. He also had a diving first down catch late in the game, but was only targeted four times and saw another pass go off his fingertips. I would have thought Kerley should be capable of getting open against the Steelers, so it's disappointing that they didn't look his way more often. Whether that was because he wasn't open is something I'll have to look for on the coaches film.
Chaz Schilens and Clyde Gates were both in for just a handful of snaps, although Gates did make one catch on the outside to set up a third-and-short situation.
At tight end, Jeff Cumberland and Reuland both caught two passes and did a pretty good job of blocking. Cumberland had a very good block from the fullback position as the Jets lined up in a three back set. That was despite the fact John Conner got in his way. However, he failed to read a blitz and turn around for the ball in the red zone as Sanchez threw him a quick pass. Reuland missed his block on Greene's wildcat run that was stuffed, although that was on the play mentioned earlier where the Jets' misdirection failed and he had to try and block two guys. Other than that, he missed a second level block, but had some good moments, including one play where he drove his man out to the sideline and a couple of good kickout blocks.
Finally, Dedrick Epps made his Jets debut and was in for just a handful of snaps, missing one block.
We're only halfway through – I'll be back later with a look at the defense and special teams, together with final conclusions…

Garcinia Cambogia (GARCINIA) Overview Information
Garcinia is a plant. The fruit rind is used to make medicine. Don't confuse garcinia with Garcinia hanburyi (gamboge resin).
How does it work?
Developing research suggests that garcinia might prevent fat storage and control appetite; however, whether these effects occur in humans is unclear.
Garcinia Cambogia (GARCINIA) Uses & Effectiveness
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Weight loss.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Exercise performance. Taking a chemical compound found in garcinia called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) might increase how long untrained women are able to exercise.
- Weight loss. The effect of garcinia on weight loss is not clear. Some research shows that taking garcinia fruit rind extract doesn't seem to decrease fat breakdown or energy expenditure in overweight people. However, other research suggests that it might improve weight loss.
- Treating worms and parasites.
- Emptying the bowel.
- Severe diarrhea (dysentery).
- Other conditions.
Garcinia Cambogia (GARCINIA) Side Effects & Safety
Garcinia is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth for 12 weeks or less. Long-term safety is unknown. Garcinia can cause nausea, digestive tract discomfort, and headache.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of garcinia during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Garcinia Cambogia (GARCINIA) Dosing
The appropriate dose of garcinia depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time, there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for garcinia. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Eagles punched the Redskins in the gut last Monday, shocking the Washington organization and their rabid fan base, who thought losing to Chip Kelly in his debut wasn't a possibility.
Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers was even more humiliating for the burgundy and gold. Green Bay slapped around Washington, tied them up in a corner and spit on their faces. At one point the Redskins trailed 31-0, a score you'd expect in an Alabama-Troy game -- not the NFL.
Problems are easy to identify for the Redskins, because they're everywhere.
Defensively, no team in the NFL has been worse. In two first halves, the Redskins have allowed 695 yards and 50 points, all but ensuring losses for their team. It wasn't a surprise that Aaron Rodgers (34/42, 480 yards, four touchdowns) carved apart the secondary. Those numbers were some of Rodgers' career bests, but we knew the back line of defense was going to be a problem early in the season.
The more alarming revelation came from Packers backup running back James Starks, who became Green Bay's first 100-yard rusher since October 2010, against, you guessed it, the Redskins. Starks averaged 6.6 yards per carry and also boasted 34 yards receiving.
"It felt like forever," laughed Aaron Rodgers about the 100-yard rusher after the game.
This comes on the heels of LeSean McCoy's shredding of the front seven. The dominant Barry Cofield we saw last season has not showed up yet. London Fletcher is routinely out of position. Maybe defensive coordinator Jim Haslett should come back to the sidelines instead of sitting in the booth. Nobody really had answers in the locker room. Brian Orakpo blurted out on the poor start: "We did this sh*t last year."
But your being naive if you only blame the Redskins defense for the horrendous beginning to the season. The solution is simple. Everything starts and ends with Robert Griffin III. When he's making plays, the entire team is making plays. When he's flat, the entire team is flat.
"We didn't start fast because of me," Griffin admitted Sunday. He knows the pressure is on.
Writing Griffin off is premature and frankly absurd. But the concerns are definitely there. Former Redskins running back Larry Brown stole the words from my mouth when he tweeted: "I am not certain that RGIII is comfortable as a pocket quarterback." We found out today Robert Griffin is not rusty, he just isn't the same player when he's not able to run around and improvise like a magician. It's obvious the play calling and Griffin's playing style have been altered to prevent further injuries. Standing tall in the pocket has been Griffin's biggest weakness this season. He's been crumbling like a cookie. And credit goes to to Philly and Green Bay for making him feel uncomfortable.
The Redskins struggles to start 2013 emphasize how successful the running oriented approach worked in 2012. Looking back on it, the entire passing game was opened up by the run.
Something telling that happened against Green Bay: the read option was barely utilized, because it's proven ineffective thus far. Washington has been unable to establish the run and it has a trickle down effect to the rest of the offense. Griffin's rushed for 25 yards on nine carries this season. Defenses can now play 10-on-11 football, where as opposed to last season they were forced to play 11-on-11.Now that the run has been taken away by defenses for the most part -- Alfred Morris did rip off a couple of nice second half runs en route to 107 yards -- receivers are not able to get open in the middle of the field. Blitzes are more prevalent. And RGIII is lost in reading defenses from these new sets of circumstances, at least at the moment.
So even after all that information I've provided, degrading the Redskins, you'd think I'd be writing the team off, correct? Not at all. It might be a blessing in disguise that rock bottom this season happened in week two instead of week nine. Adjustments can be made.
In week three against the Lions, the Redskins should come out establishing the pass first, to throw off Detroit. A way for Kyle Shanahan to combat all the blitzes being thrown at RGIII? The Redskins need less wide receiver screens and more shots down the field. How about lining up four and five wide receiver sets for a good portion of the game. Take pages from the Green Bay playbook, or gulp, even Philadelphia. As 'Skins film guru Mark Bullock points out, lots of the Redskins success has come from the no-huddle. Griffin will continue to progress throughout the season as a confident, capable pocket passer. That is, if Kyle Shanahan ditches the run game for a pass first attack.
The bottom line is that being 0-2 is not the end of the world. Especially when you play in the mediocre NFC East. I'd wager a 9-7 record may be good enough to win the division. The Redskins can certainly finish with that record. Especially once RGIII fully figures out his new playing style.
Sidenote: If you are calling for Kirk Cousins, what if he comes in and does amazing? Do you then trade RGIII? Stop tweeting this non-sense. The Redskins are married to RGIII, for better or for worse. Until he either pulls himself out of the game or gets injured, Griffin is the starting quarterback. There are such things as sophomore slumps. I know he put these unrealistic expectations on himself, but let Griffin breathe.

Just as tick season gets underway, prices for the medication most commonly used to treat Lyme disease have skyrocketed. The rising price of the drug seems to be the direct result of a manufacturing shortage and Senator Susan Collins wants the FDA to do something about it.
If you're one of the 16,000 people unlucky enough to contract Lyme Disease this year, chances are, you'll be prescribed the antibiotic, doxycycline. Problem is, you may not be able get it.
"The shortage is getting worse with each passing day," said Senator Susan Collins (R-ME). She said she wants the government to get involved.
"To try to get the FDA some new powers to identify shortages early, to require manufactures to report if they're having manufacturing problems," Collins said.
Lyme disease is an infectious, bacterial disease passed through bites from the deer tick. It's especially common through the woodsy Northeast, and Maine is one of 13 states with the highest numbers of Lyme disease cases, said Collins. And those figures will only go up, she said, as more residents, and visitors, head out to enjoy Maine's outdoor life over the next several months. That some of them will get Lyme disease just as effective drugs to treat it are becoming more scarce, is troubling, she said. It's also likely to be expensive, as Maine pharmacists already know.
"Probably 500 times more than last year, this time," said Portland based Pharmacist Momen Abdullayof. He said he's planning to keep paying the 500 fold mark up in order to keep doxycycline in stock.
But he said, it's definitely more expensive for his customers, whose ailments may range from skin to heart infections, to Lyme disease, Lyme disease prevention, or STDs.
"This is not the first drug we've seen shortages of, this one just happens to have a lot of uses that are important," said State Epidemiologist Dr. Stephen Sears. He said the sporadic shortfall of drugs has been a habitual problem in recent years, and he's applauding Collins' involvement in calling for the FDA to have more power to be proactive when drug manufactures can't or aren't meeting demand.
Maine could be facing a double crisis. Lyme disease figures aside, Sears said demand for the drug in Maine has gone up because the numbers of cases of the STD chlamydia have also gone up. Again, the first line of treatment? Doxycycline.
"Anything that can be done to help get more made and more available would be very useful for everybody, Sears said.
