About Jean Patou
History and background of Jean Patou. Jean Patou was born in Normandy, France, in 1880. Patou's father was a leading tanner (leather maker) and his uncle owned a fur business which Patou joined in 1907. In 1912 Patou opened Maison Parry, a small dressmaking salon in Paris, and sold his entire 1914 collection to one American buyer. His career was then interrupted by the war, which he spent as an army captain. Read more about Jean Patou

1000 perfume by Patou is a wonderful perfume that when describing it, people leave out the most important aspect, it has the scent of evening violets, which is why it can be so appealing to those who first smell the strong aroma. I bought an ounce of 1000 in 1990, and the cost was [$].And that was in the midwest. I then bought the powder, body lotion, and EDT. Just when I came out of the shower while visiting friends I have known for years, the husband said, "It smells like old lady perfume," well, that sure burst my bubble, I thought I was smelling so fine, just like an evening violet. Ouch. Too bad, I just sprayed more on, Suffer. I still continue to keep it in my perfume curio cabinet. When I feel down and need an uplift, I will use it, as a special treat instead of the daily perfumes that I switch. I especially like it because you don't smell it on everybody like Obsession, Poison, etc.I think a perfume should reflect one's mood at the time, not because its the scent everybody is wearing. I think my collection of perfumes reflect my many moods, some to uplift, some to just walk the dog. They are very personal to me and each perfume has its good and bad qualities, just pick your poison (not Dior). I even have Love's Baby Soft in my collection. But 1000, has a fragrance that if you close your eyes and spray some on, you will immediately smell evening violets, and you feel like you are walking in a botanical garden of violets with Chanel shoes on.Pure class. Make yourself feel better by adding your special color lipstick to complete the goal to uplift your spirits with a sophisticated aroma.Dawn, a blind disabled veteran

This scent was to be a reminder of a very special woman that I knew and loved. She is no longer with us and I wanted this scent for my own pleasure to put on my pillow at night. It was always something I loved about her--she had flare and style. Unfortunately the sample scent was rancid. I asked others to smell it & I got the same reply. Perhaps Jean Patou 100 has a short shelf life? Sincerely Bob Gibson

Ten Eden Prairie police employees accessed a former officer's driver's license record for "personal" reasons several years after she left the department.
Three of the employees have been disciplined, according to a statement the department released Wednesday. Seven received "coaching."
"We will not be releasing any further information or doing any interviews," a spokeswoman for Eden Prairie said.
An audit by the state's Driver and Vehicle Services division in August revealed that more than 100 employees from law enforcement agencies, including Eden Prairie, accessed Anne Marie Rasmusson's driver's license information more than 400 times over four years. The department contacted those agencies in August and asked them to investigate whether any misuse occurred.
This summer, Rasmusson contacted the department because she suspected members of law enforcement had misused access privileges to the database and looked up her information.
Rasmusson's attorneys declined to comment on the Eden Prairie findings. They also declined to say why they believe her record was so widely accessed.
Rasmusson was an Eden Prairie police officer from 1996 to 2001. She joined the St. Paul Police Department in 2001 before retiring in 2003.
Other agencies contacted by Driver and Vehicle Services included police departments in Bloomington, Burnsville, Cottage Grove, Eagan, Isanti, Lakeville, Minnetonka, Minneapolis, St. Paul and the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The Dakota County, Pine County and Ramsey County sheriff's offices also were notified.
When an individual's driver's license record is queried, law enforcement can see the subject's name, date of birth, address, photo, vehicles registered to the subject, convictions and departmental action, class of license, restrictions, issue date and expiration date, said Doug Neville, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Law enforcement must have a legitimate business-related purpose to access someone's driver's license information, he said.
Ten of the 11 Eden Prairie employees who were the subject of the investigation accessed Rasmusson's information "for purposes that were not work-related. In those cases, the misuse of the database did not include any criminal intent nor was the information shared," according to the police department's statement. Their access was "personal in nature."
In addition to discipline and coaching, the employees each received "re-training" on the driver's license database, the statement said.
Driver and Vehicle Services could suspend their access to the database.
Few agencies that responded to the inquiry said they found misuse or disciplined anyone.
The state Department of Corrections and the UMD Police Department received corrective action letters for single access of misuse. An Eagan police officer's access to the database was suspended in November for three months for misuse. He also received an oral reprimand from his department.
The State Patrol and St. Paul and Bloomington police departments have yet to report their findings, Neville said.

Chelsea's 6th Annual Chocolate Extravaganza
Feb 08, 2014
Location: Downtown Chelsea, MI
Valentine's Day is nearly upon us and that means it's time to express our love for friends and family. Someone once said "The main reason we celebrate Valentine's Day isn't love – It's Chocolate!" It's probably a little of both. With that in mind, Chelsea is once again celebrating the day with the 6th annual Chocolate Extravaganza. On Saturday, February 8th, over 30 stores, cafés and restaurants invite you to shop, eat, and "experience" chocolate. Participating stores and restaurants throughout Chelsea will offer chocolate tasting, sales on chocolate-themed merchandise, raffles, and a medley of activities from 10 am to 5 pm. Brochures with a map and event listings will be available on the day of the event at participating stores.
Historic Chelsea offers a variety of unique shops and places to dine, not only in the downtown area but also the south end of town where you can dine, browse for antiques, bowl a game or two, and of course, shop. So take advantage of this opportunity to put aside winter doldrums and spend a day with your loved ones visiting the beautiful shops and galleries, cozy cafés and pubs, and wonderful restaurants. "The Chocolate Extravaganza was quite the event; it was like a treasure hunt!" remarked Liz Wilson, of VEO Art Studio, who participated for the first time last year. "The sidewalks were filled with groups of families and friends. All who came through my studio were truly enjoying the day, and of course the chocolate!" Both edible and non-edible treats will be available throughout Chelsea, in addition to family oriented activities, including a free "make & take" chocolate activity for kids at The Garden Mill.
"The Extravaganza brings many people to town and both our customers and our staff enjoy the event." Merkel Furniture and Carpet One owner Tim Merkel said, "It is a fun way to treat our customers to some true small town hospitality!" Chocolate, fun, shopping, food, and a chance to support local businesses. It's a fabulous way to spend a Saturday!

Some chefs are urging those suffering from mental health issues, or who are simply going through a tough time, to try their hand at baking real bread to see how it could help them cope. – MCT
The simple act of baking could help lift you out of a depression, claims a British movement.
FROM chocolate brownies to cakes and cookies, baking is often associated with comfort foods – and now a new British movement claims that the simple act of baking could help lift you out of a depression.
The Independent in the UK reports that baking could emerge "as a form of pill-less Prozac", at least according to John Whaite, last year's winner of the hit British television series The Great British Bake Off.
In a report issued recently for Real Bread Campaign, a non-profit organisation promoting artisan baking, Whaite calls for more people "suffering from mental health issues, or who are simply going through a tough time, to get the chance to try their hand at baking real bread to see how it could help them".
Whaite, who was diagnosed with manic depression eight years ago, told the BBC: "Baking helps lift my depression. It can't cure it, but it helps.
"When I'm in the kitchen, measuring the amount of sugar, flour, or butter I need for a recipe or cracking the exact number of eggs – I am in control. That's really important as a key element of my condition is a feeling of no control."
Bakeries are being set up all over the UK to help people cope with hard times. The Better Health Bakery in east London provides training placements for adults living with mental health issues, The Independent reports.
Plus The Real Bread Campaign, which received a four-year grant in 2009 from the Big Lottery's Local Food programmes to bring real bread back to local communities, said the potential number of people who could benefit from baking "runs into the hundreds of thousands or even millions".
In London, The Depressed Cake Shop, a mental health charity initiative, ran a series of pop-up cake stalls around the UK earlier this summer, selling only grey cakes and baked goods.
According to the BBC, the publicity stunt raised thousands of British pounds for mental health charities, and got people talking more about mental health issues and how baking can help.
Whaite has also recently introduced a cookbook called John Whaite Bakes: Recipes for Every Day and Every Mood, with a chapter devoted to lifting your spirits.
British novelist Marian Keyes has also relied on baking to help her cope with major depression. In her book Saved by Cake, she writes about how she uses baking to help her cope with depression: "Baking hasn't cured me. But it gets me through." – AFPRelaxnews

Service-Learning is a course-based, credit-bearing educational experience by which students participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and reflect on the service activity on such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility. Service-Learning emphasizes reciprocity between campus and community, between those who serve and those who learn.

Green Festival Speakers
Lila Rose
Lila rose is a Torontoborn, Californiabased singer/songwriter gone electroacoustic. Her arrangements incorporate an eclectic array of sounds from simple live instrumentation to electronic beats and production, often adding vocal layering and effects to build expansive sonic experiences that borrow elements of hip hop, folk, electronica, pop, world beat, and vocal experimentation. Her releases include: The Very First, the hit single single Strap It To Ya and the new EP Osmos Your Sonica. Lila is currently in the studio working on her first fulllength album Sacred Irreverence.Since 1996, Youth Speaks has made it their mission to shift the perception of youth by combating illiteracy, alienation and silence and by creating a global movement of young people brave enough to take their voices to the stage. As the leading nonprofit presenter of spoken word in the country, Youth Speaks offers youth the opportunity to speak their truths each year at Brave New Voices, Youth Speaks' international teen poetry slam competition. There, hundreds of young people gather to share with one another their personal stories of triumph, sadness, joy, pain, and also their distinct and individual visions of the future.
In 2006, Youth Speaks invited these participants to speak specifically to the issue of environmentalism. Ever since, droves of youth have been rising to the occasion, jumping at the opportunity to join the growing conversation on global warming, sustainability and ecoresponsibility. Brave New Voices Speak Green was born. James Kass, Founder and Executive Director of Youth Speaks, said it best when he quipped, often times, at huge conferences, all these adults are talking about what the future wants and needs, but the future is never in the room. Young people are never in the conversation. Since it's inception, Brave New Voices Speak Green has grown enormously. In 2006 there were 15 applicants; in 2008, that number exploded into over 100, and the potential is incalculable.

Laser surface modification
Resonetics offers laser technologies for texturing of polymer and thin metal surfaces used in medical devices and diagnostics. Texturing to add tiny patterns can be used to control cell growth, enhance the surface area to alter fluidic behavior, or increase the contact area to optimize bonding, especially between PET balloons and catheters or other components.
Laser surface texturing can alter 2-D surfaces, such as flat films, or 3-D surfaces such as implants, catheters, or balloons.
Texturing can range from controlled geometric microstructures with dimensions of microns to tens of microns to random or pseudo-random roughening at a micron to sub-micron scale. Multiple laser wavelengths are available according to material interaction requirements. For consistent results, we maintain critical optical and process control parameters.
Laser-textured titanium screw surface
Applications for Laser Texturing
Some of the potential medical device applications that use laser texturing include:
- Coronary stents – creating drug reservoirs
- Balloons – texturing helps improve traction between the balloon and arterial wall
- Catheters – may help increase balloon adhesion to catheter shaft
- Minimally invasive surgery – may improve the growth of connective tissue with polymer implants
- Spinal fusion– fine laser texturing of metal components may be advantageous versus less controllable beadblasting or additive coatings
While our focus is polymers, our work includes laser texturing the surface of many materials, including:

The crisp, alpine weather has made for some cozy evenings inside, bringing us to love our Hudson Bay blanket even that much more. On our voyage from Portland to Edmonton we spent a few extra days submerged in the Rockies in Banff, Alberta, Canada, where we purchased our first Hudson Bay blanket to signify our life-changing move. HBC, a Canadian retail icon, has been producing Hudson Bay Point blankets since 1780. Originally used by fur-traders as a token for trading, the well recognized points (or stripes) on the blanket were a simple way to indicate the size of the blanket. Traders could then trade the blanket for a particular fur of equal value. The contrast of the bright, primary color stripes and the brilliant white wool along with the glorious label (complete with the gold writing!) is so simplistically beautiful that it is hard to believe it was designed 231 years ago.

For the budget-conscious businessperson, managing the cost of travel is more than savvy shopping for discounts on big-ticket items like airfare and hotel rates. The real killers are in the details. (If you have ever dropped $50 on cab fare from the airport to downtown, you know what I mean.) The time spent using ground transportation is not a trivial factor. Just consider the amount of time and money you spend in relation to your flight time and costs:
A seven-day advance-purchase roundtrip ticket from San Francisco to Newark costs about $300 and takes about five hours and 16 minutes. Not bad, but that's not where the costs (in time and money) end. You can still find yourself shelling out nearly as much once you're on the ground. Roundtrip cab fare from Newark to midtown Manhattan will cost about $100 and, assuming the inevitable heavy traffic, will take about one hour in each direction. You've now just spent a third of your airfare and 15 percent of your travel time on that cab.
You have options. Consider the Newark AirTrain, which runs $11.55 for a one-way ticket and takes about 35-45 minutes in travel time to Penn Station. From there, you can grab a cab or walk to your hotel. (By the way, if the taxi line is dauntingly long at the station, just walk around the corner to Seventh or Eighth Avenue) That's just 3 percent of your airfare and less than 15 percent of your travel time. You will save about $75 by taking the train.
Riding the rails has become an increasingly reliable option in many of the nation's largest urban areas and at most trafficked airports. Today, nine of the 30 busiest U.S. airports offer a rail service option to and from major downtown centers. Three -- Newark, JFK and SFO -- just launched their services in the past two years. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport expects to feature light rail service to downtown Minneapolis in October 2004. Dallas-Fort Worth Airport has scheduled light rail service for completion in 2008. And Miami International Airport hopes to add rail service around 2012.
The bottom line is that if you are interested in saving money -- and in most cases, time and hassle -- take the train. For a birds-eye comparison, check out the accompanying table showing how cab fare and travel time line up with train fare and travel time at nine major airports. One caveat: train travel time does not include wait time for scheduled trains, which in some cases can add 15-30 minutes.

Scores drown fleeing S Sudan fightingComment on this story
Juba - At least 200 South Sudanese civilians have drowned in a ferry accident on the White Nile river while fleeing fresh fighting in the city of Malakal, an army spokesman said on Tuesday.
"The reports we have are of between 200 to 300 people, including women and children. The boat was overloaded," army spokesman Philip Aguer told AFP. "They all drowned. They were fleeing the fighting that broke out again in Malakal."
Aguer said the incident happened on Tuesday, although local media indicated it may have occurred overnight on Sunday.
Battles raged in several sites in South Sudan on Tuesday.
Heavy fighting was reported in Malakal, state capital of oil-producing Upper Nile state, as rebel forces staged a fresh attack to seize the town, which has already changed hands twice since the conflict in South Sudan began on December 15. "There is fighting anew in and around Malakal," United Nations aid chief for South Sudan Toby Lanzer said, adding that the peacekeeping base had been swamped with almost double the number of people seeking shelter, rising from 10 000 to 19 000.
The army reported heavy fighting south of Bor, as the government sought to retake the town from rebels, the largest in their control.
"We are marching on Bor, there was very heavy fighting late on Monday," Aguer said.
However, he rejected rebel claims to have captured the river port of Mongalla, situated between Bor and the capital Juba.
"We are north of Mongalla, we remain in full control there," Aguer said.
He also confirmed fighting south of the capital, around the town of Rajaf, on Monday.
According to the United Nations, about 400 000 civilians have fled their homes over the past month.
The fighting is between South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an empirically-supported treatment for young children with emotional and behavioral disorders that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns. PCIT International was created to promote fidelity in the practice and training of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy through well-conducted research, training, and continuing education of therapists and trainers. By creating an interface between the scholarly activities of PCIT researchers and the expertise of front-line clinicians, PCIT International promotes healthy family functioning.
To find out more about PCIT, join us on facebook (search for PCIT International)
PCIT outcome research has demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvements in the conduct-disordered behavior of preschool age children: After treatment, children's behavior is within the normal range. Studies have documented the superiority of PCIT to wait list controls and to parent group didactic training. In addition to significant changes on parent ratings and observational measures of children's behavior problems, outcome studies have demonstrated important changes in the interactional style of the fathers and mothers in play situations with the child. Parents show increases in reflective listening, physical proximity, and pro-social verbalization, and decreases in sarcasm and criticism of the child after completion of PCIT. Outcome studies have also demonstrated significant changes on parents' self-report measures of psychopathology, personal distress, and parenting locus of control. Measures of consumer satisfaction in all studies have shown that parents are highly satisfied with the process and outcome of treatment at its completion..
The Theoretical Underpinnings of PCIT
The development of PCIT was based on Baumrind's developmental research associating parenting practices with child outcomes. Baumrind demonstrated the importance of parents meeting young children's dual needs for nurturance and for limits, which she described as authoritative parenting. Her research showed that to promote optimal child outcomes, we must focus on promoting optimal parenting styles and parent-child interactions.
PCIT draws on both attachment and social learning theories to achieve authoritative parenting. Attachment theory asserts that sensitive and responsive parenting provides the foundation for the child's sense of knowing that he or she will be responded to when necessary. Thus, young children whose parents show greater warmth, responsiveness, and sensitivity to the child's behaviors are more likely to develop a secure sense of their relationships and more effective emotional and behavioral regulation. For this reason, in the first phase of PCIT parents learn the Child-Directed Interaction (CDI), which aims to restructure the parent-child relationship and provide the child with a secure attachment to his or her parent. Social learning theories emphasize the contingencies that shape the interactions of children and their parents. Patterson's coercion theory provides a transactional account of early conduct-disordered behavior in which child conduct problems are inadvertently established or maintained by the parent-child interactions. Thus, in the second phase of PCIT parents learn the Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI), which specifically addresses these processes by establishing consistent contingencies for child behavior.

Okay - posting twice in one day is something I normally do not do. But I received this cute story this morning with regards to New Jersey and I was trying to think of a good time to post it but reading Jerry's friend, Rose's comment regarding Jersey, I just thought I had to defend my home state.
The Creation of the Jersey Shore
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the Archangel, found Him resting on the seventh day. He inquires of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downward through the clouds. "Look, Michael, look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of the earth, "For example, Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Africa is going to be poor. The Middle East over there will be a hot spot." God continued, pointing to different countries, "This one will be extremely hot and while this one will be very cold and covered with ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land mass with an ocean as its border and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God, "That's the Jersey Shore, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, lakes, and climate. The people from the Jersey Shore are going to be modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, and high achieving people, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then exclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance! Everyone and everything seems so totally perfect in this place you call the Jersey Shore."
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the assholes I'm sending down from New York every summer."
Sorry NY! :D - heck we could have easily said PA too.

FEDERAL WAY — Patrick Giedeman finished second in the 500 freestyle (4:39.61) and eighth in the 200 freestyle (1:46.62) to highlight Wa-Hi's performance at the Class 4A state swimming championships that wrapped up here Saturday at the King County Aquatics Center.
"A strong personal record," Wa-Hi coach Katharine Curles said of Giedeman's swim in the 500. "It was one of the most exciting swims I've ever seen. Good swim."
Wa-Hi's Jayden Wallace finished 21st in the 100 free (51.58) and 22nd in the 50 free (23.52).
"If he keeps working hard and stays focused, I don't doubt at all that he will find himself in the consolations or finals next year," Curles said.
Russell Skorina, a sophomore, was 22nd in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.81) and 23rd in the 100 fly (56.87).
"He's really young and I have so many high hopes for him next year," Curles said. "He's going to be fast."
Wa-Hi's 200 medley relay team — Giedeman, Skorina, Wallace and Josh Bumgarner — was 18th (1:45.94).
"Josh went a lifetime best in his 50 breaststroke split," Curles said. "Not a bad way to end a successful and happy four-year varsity swimming career."

This is the next frontier of local, social content. I like the way it organically records a stream of experiences that can be played back and shared. Ingrid Bernstein
Seeing this rich-media mobile device and its associated applications in action makes me want to use them. Its playful and robust, another great step towards blurring the line between the digital and physical worlds, adding new dimension and ease to peoples digital social media experiments. Hilary Read
Overview: This campaign experience supported the launch of the Nokia N96. Nokia viNe is a breakthrough mobile application that records photos, videos, songs, text and voice while geo-tagging them to an online multimedia map of the users life. Its the ultimate travelogue tool and an easy way to relive, search and share in real-time ones experiences just as they happen. Useful and aesthetically beautiful, it doesnt ask people to do something fundamentally new (they take pictures, listen to music, and write text as they move about every day); instead it connects these events and effortlessly journalizes them using a visual language that is elegant and brand appropriate.
Was the topic/subject of the project a new one for you? R/GA and Nokia had been exploring location-based services within marketing campaigns for a couple of years before Nokia viNe. We started with a campaign called Urbanista Diaries that in many ways was an alpha experiment in both marketing and technology that paved the way for Nokia viNe.
What was the most challenging aspect of the project? In an era where mobile phones are fast taking the persona of computers, we were very conscious that the actual device interface is getting more cluttered and complicated, so we wanted to generate a software experience that had the inherent qualities of simplicity, community and valuetrue to Nokias reputation. We had in mind an experience where the mobile interface becomes incredibly minimal and focused on contextual exploration versus user initiated creation and consumption. At the same time, the project had enormous technical complexities, so one of our primary challenges was to mask the technology, leaving behind just a simple, enjoyable and immersive digital experience.
What did you have in mind when you began this project? Mobile phones carry data (music, photos, locations) thats definitive of the personality of the owner of the device. All of it can empower a mobile application to understand the user. For example, someone sits on a beach watching the sunset. Based on their phones data, the person is served a playlist of music from other people who have sat on that same spot at a similar time and left their music experience for others to enjoy. Thats what we had in mind for Nokia viNe.

Josh Katzowitz and Andy Benoit saved everyone's favorite position ranking debate for last.
Josh Katzowitz's top five
5. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
4. Brett Favre, Vikings
3. Philip Rivers, Chargers
2. Drew Brees, Saints
1. Peyton Manning, Colts
This top five quarterbacking exercise is interesting. You basically can put the league's starting quarterbacks into three categories. The top guys (about seven players), who you'd pick if (for some reason) you needed somebody to go 80 yards in 2 minutes in order to save your mortgage. The middle guys (maybe nine players) who used to be really good but now aren't or who are young but could turn out to be really good. Then, the lower-end guys (the rest) who are interchangeable and probably wouldn't lead your team to the top of the division. In that end, this exercise isn't that difficult, because, basically, we're picking from about seven quarterbacks.
That said, I'd be surprise if anyone argued against Peyton Manning as the top quarterbacks in the league – and maybe one of the best-five of all time. I could run through the stats, but you know they're awesome. Perhaps most impressive about Manning, like Favre, is that he's so durable. Part of that has to do with the performance of his offensive line – Manning was sacked 10 times last year – but he's also tough, never missing a start in his career (that's 192 straight games).
Brees had an incredible year last season, recording a QB rating of 109.6 and completing an NFL-record-tying 70.6 percent of his passes. I'd feel safer with Manning with the game on the line, but not much. Rivers and Rodgers passed for at least 4,200 yards, 28 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions last season. And it's tough to discount Favre, especially after how he performed last year in his 19th season. Yeah, he plays cowboy too often and throws atrocious interceptions in clutch moments, but for consistent greatness, he's tough to beat.
Andy Benoit's top five
5. Brett Favre, Vikings
4. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers
3. Drew Brees, Saints
2. Tom Brady, Patriots
1. Peyton Manning, Colts
Josh, seven of the last nine Super Bowls have been won by quarterbacks who are NOT on your list. I can understand omitting Eli Manning – he ranks in the 10-12 range, not the 1-5 range. But I can't, for the life of me, figure out how Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger don't show up.
The only explanation for a "healthy-minded" individual omitting Brady is that said "healthy-minded" individual thinks Brady isn't the same after his '08 knee injury. True, Brady had some trouble getting comfortable in the pocket during the first half of last year, but he still finished the season with nearly 4,400 yards and 28 touchdowns. The knee can't be THAT grave a concern.
The argument against Big Ben, I'm assuming, is that he's suspended for character issues, which calls his leadership into question. Whatever. The man is 28 and already owns two rings. Physically-speaking, Roethlisberger is the most gifted quarterback in the NFL.
Go ahead and retort these Brady-Roethlisberger arguments – I'm prepared to argue all day. (And if you're prepared to say that Brady has weapons around him, I'm prepared to say that he won his three titles with Troy Brown and David Patten; if you're ready to mention Roethlisberger's sack numbers, I'm ready to remind you that his improvised plays have been a more than adequate tradeoff, and I'll also ask, "If sacks are so bad, then what is Rodgers doing on your list?")
A few other notes from your list…
**I agree with your analysis on Manning and Favre. Something I'd add is that no two quarterbacks transform average receivers into stars like these two. Favre made the careers of Robert Brooks and Antonio Freeman. He built fantastic chemistry with Donald Driver. Most recently, he's helped Sidney Rice recognize his full potential. Manning did the same with youngsters Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie last year. Think either of those guys could register 100 yards in a playoff game if they had a typical quarterback throwing them the ball?
**You give credit to Manning's offensive line. Don't. All the credit goes to Manning. The Colts offensive line is, at best, average. Left tackle Charlie Johnson is a plodder and both guards are undersized. Manning's awareness and pocket presence explain the low sack totals. It's the same case with Brees and the Saints' line, by the way. Left tackle Jermon Bushrod is awful, and you know how I feel about Jon Stinchcomb. But even with iffy tackles, Brees almost never takes sacks.
**Like you, I put Manning ahead of Brees. My reasoning is that Manning has been playing at the highest of levels for about eight years. Brees, only three or four. That said, I have trouble following your logic when you write, "I'd feel safer with Manning with the game on the line, but not much." Wasn't Brees's Super Bowl title clinched by Manning's late fourth quarter pick-six?
Josh's rebuttal
So, you're going to choose one play to illustrate that Manning isn't clutch at the end of games? Well, what about the 2006 season AFC Championship game when he led the Colts back from an 18-point deficit, including that game-winning 80-yard TD drive, to beat Brady and the Patriots? Can we count that? Manning's been clutch for longer than Brees in this league. That's why I went with Manning as No. 1. Which you agree with, anyway.
When I mentioned there were seven quarterbacks who could have made the top seven, I obviously was also talking about Brady and Roethlisberger. I've seen Roethlisberger play numerous times live, and, to me, he's simply a notch below the guys I've listed. I didn't factor the recent legal issues or the suspension into my equation, but the leadership issues I did. It's just the way he's perceived by his teammates and the fact that they've questioned his character on a number of occasions. It's not a good thing. I don't mind him taking sacks because, I agree, he makes so many plays off his freelancing that it tends to balance out. But I point you to his 2008 stats: 59.9 percent completions; 3,301 yards, 17 touchdowns, 15 interceptions. Those are not elite numbers. Hell, Chad Pennington had better numbers than that in 2008.
And you know what? I don't have a great argument for excluding Brady, other than he didn't seem like the same player last year after the knee injury. Plus, Matt Cassel had a pretty good year in Brady's place, so in my mind, that diminishes Brady just a tad.
But if I had a mulligan, I think I'd replace Rodgers with Brady at No. 5.
Andy's final word
Can't let you off that easy, Josh – especially since this is our last position rankings debate. Putting Brady at No. 5 is inadequate. He's at least 2 or 3. I will say, though, your point about Cassel is not a bad one. The Patriots went 11-5 under him and were hot down the stretch (they got screwed out of a postseason berth by the NFL's flawed playoffs rules that put the 8-8 Chargers in the tournament that year). During that '08 season, an immensely respected NFL analyst privately told me that you could argue Brady is simply the greatest system quarterback of all time. This analyst wasn't saying he believed this, he was merely explaining that the discussion was worth having. We'll save that discussion for another time. For now, I'll keep it simple by honoring a Three-Time Champ.
Roethlisberger's '08 numbers are poor. And, from afar, he doesn't appear to be highly respected by teammates. I get that. But again, this is a multi-time World Champion we're talking about. If we had more Super Bowl winners in the league, you could leave the guy off. But it's hard to go with Rodgers or Rivers when those guys have yet to build rich playoff résumés.
Final follow up on Manning: I'm not saying he isn't clutch. He is. I'm just anticipating all the comments we'll get from people griping that Brees should be No. 1 based on recent history.

›› PDF: EPISD student discrimination policy
›› PDF: EPISD employee discrimination policy
El Paso Independent School District trustees this week strengthened discrimination policies to prevent bullying of gay students and employees after an El Paso teen committed suicide because he was bullied for being gay.
Gay-rights activists said the move on Tuesday comes too late and the district needs to do more to fight bullying.
The mother of Brandon Elizares, 16, who killed himself because he was a victim of bullying, said the step taken by the board is a "baby step" in the right direction.
The board on Tuesday prohibited discrimination based on gender identity and perceived sexuality. Before the policy update, the district had prohibited discrimination, including harassment, against any student because of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability or any other basis prohibited by law.
After the board unanimously approved the policy update, board President Isela Castañon-Williams began crying.
One of her sons, Antonio Williams, is openly gay and spoke in support of the policy change at the meeting.
"I know what it's like going to school because of people who would bully us because we're gay," Williams said. "It can adversely affect the welfare of students who are different and that environment can create hostility."
Castañon-Williams could not be reached for comment.
Elizares, a sophomore at Andress High School, took his life on June 2 after enduring endless taunts and ridicule from peers since coming out in 2010. He had transferred to Andress from Chapin High School. He had also attended Raymond Telles Academy.
His mother, Zachalyn Elizares, also said she wants to wait to see whether the change in policy works.
"We can ask about it a year from now and see how well it's worked," she said. "I didn't see anything at any of the schools my kids attended about any anti-bullying campaign or anything. If they did have it, I as a parent didn't know about it, and I was going to the school every day."
Zachalyn Elizares said that she is coping with her son's death as well as she can, but that it's been especially hard preparing her other children, a daughter and son, for the coming school year.
Daniel Rollings, president of PFLAG El Paso, which stands for Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, also said it's going to take more than policy updates to end bullying at schools.
The school board "is doing this after the fact, and it's unfortunate because they should have been proactive and preventative," Rollings said. "This is the kind of thing that should have been in place before Brandon was bullied and ultimately took his life."
The district is launching an anti-bullying campaign this fall, spokeswoman Renee de Santos said.
"Teachers and staff will be provided with staff development aimed at identifying and addressing bullying at the campuses," de Santos wrote in an email. "Students in all grade levels will take part in activities aimed at bullying prevention."
For the coming school year, PFLAG and the University of Texas of El Paso's Social Work Department will offer "safe zone" training for teachers throughout West Texas and Southern New Mexico.
The training will show teachers how to foster a classroom environment in which students can come to them with concerns about discrimination, abuse and bullying and pose questions about drugs, alcohol and sexually transmitted diseases.
Teachers who undergo the training will receive a poster for their classroom that says "This is a safe zone," and encourages students to talk with someone they trust.
Rollings said El Paso has been behind the curve in dealing with bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students in schools.
Rollings, who is the community liaison for the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Anti-Bullying Coalition, said three-quarters of bullying cases in El Paso have targeted the LGBT community.
"Schools need to have in-services and talk about issues that surround bullying of all kinds," Rollings said. "Nothing can be done unless it's reported. That's why safe zones are important so reporting can be made. Kids need to feel like they can report these instances."

|Computerized analysis of the distribution of 2598 fetal heart rate accelerations in 83 healthy fetuses at 26 to 40 weeks' gestation demonstrated that the currently used definition of an acceleration as greater than or equal to 15 beats/min for greater than or equal to 15 seconds is applicable only after 30 weeks' gestational age in fetuses with a basal fetal heart rate of less than or equal to 128 beats/min. A significant negative correlation was found between the mean hourly basal fetal heart rate and the mean amplitude of fetal heart rate accelerations from 30 weeks to term. There was also a significant maturational process in the pattern of fetal heart rate and fetal heart rate accelerations that occurred between 26 and 28 and between 30 and 32 weeks; this was characterized by a decrease in basal fetal heart rate, an increase in the amplitude of fetal heart rate accelerations, and an increase in long-term fetal heart rate variability.

The idea of being a baseball general manager has to be as exciting as booking a brunch date with Drew Barrymore and knowing your still having a night on the town with Angelina Jolie.Well, at least for me this is exciting and I am sure your get my point here.
So, with GM meetings getting ready in my favorite sandbox to play in known as Sin City, I would first want to make sure that my sleeping accommodations are in order. I like to stay up near the new strip area. Not too far from the airport in case I need to get out of town quickly because I was falsely accused of gouging some other GM's team and also the night life is so much better there. After all, when in Vegas one has to be alert and quick. Time is money here. And for those who never been to Vegas, I highly recommend the Monte Carlo. Yeah, there are other more fancy and high tech places to stay at but the Monte Carlo has that jenesaisquoi style. The name alone has a mystic that reminds you of an old Humphrey Bogart flick. Beside, at night you can walk near by the Bellagio and watch the water fountain show while hear Andrea Bocelli. I highly recommend watching it after a day of high stake's robbery.
My second order of business as the GM of the Yankees would be to approach the Toronto Blue Jays and see how I can steal Roy Halladay and Alex Rios away from them. This will not be an easy task for sure but I need pitching, pitching and more pitching and other things to get this team back to the post season so after the gutless move of the prior GM for not trading for Johan, I have to get the best righthanded pitcher in baseball. Now, you might ask why would you want to trade with a team within your own division that could come out back and haunt you or that no way Toronto parts with Halladay and Rios but my blog will be know that "Everything in life is negotiable, you just have to bring a bigger gun to the table" Well, over the past 8 years alone this righthander has more complete games and has an era that is 3.50. I am not the type of GM who is only interested in stats but a GM who wants to know the type of player I am getting. A guy who tells our ball club climb on my back boys, I am the guy who will bring us to the promise land and win this game for us. A pit bull attitude who doesn't cry when he splits a finger nail.Also, in the past 8 years he has twice won 20 games, posted double digit wins in four other years and only had one year where he didn't post a winning record. I wonder if the Toronto's bullpen had something to do with that?
Roy Halladay and Alex Rios are my first choice of a trade.. I got a few more but I'll post those later this week in my blog along with the players I will trade.

Landslide limits Twin Oaks in Murrysville to one lane
A landslide has closed part of a Murrysville road until further notice.
Twin Oaks Drive will be closed from Bridgewood Drive to Acorn Lane after a landslide left one lane of the road impassable on Monday, chief administrator Jim Morrison said.
Municipal officials will inspect the area this week, he said. The road connects with Sardis Road in two places and is one route used to access Townsend Park.
Twin Oaks isn't the only local road facing restrictions. Traffic along Meadowbrook Road is restricted to one lane between Haney Court and Clawson Court for three weeks because of repairs being made by the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County. Work began on the lines Monday. The closure is expected to last until approximately May 6.
Two roads not to be paved
Ashbaugh and Wallace roads have been removed from the list of roads to be paved this spring after bids for the work came in higher than budgeted.
The municipality awarded a contract for no more than $1 million to Tresco Paving. The company bid $1.1 million on the project, which will be completed this spring.
Among the roads scheduled for paving are:
Adams Court, Brison Court, Benden Circle, Chelstead Drive, Covington Court, Holly Court, Michel Court, Millstream Drive, Overlook Court, Lyons Trail Drive, Ridgemont Court, Shady Drive, Spruce Drive, Boreland Farm Road, Florida Street, Jones Farm Road, Kohosek Court, Meadowbrook Road and Twin Oaks Drive.
Permits issued
Building permits were issued earlier this month for construction of the Goddard School, Morrison said.
The Goddard School is part of the Blue Spruce Shoppes, a mixed-use development along Route 22 near the Monroeville border. The building will function as an early-childhood education center.
Officials did not know when construction would begin.

And im not keeping my fingers crossed that he loses his ride at all, but one thing i will say is that i want the ride to go to someone who deserves it based on results, not based on what they have done in the past, not whether they have won AMA umpteen times, or won WSB on his first shot with tracks he didnt know blah blah, not even whether they have 7 MotoGP titles, but current results and forward progression.
Based on that, along with current results, the only person who deserves that ride is Dovi, with Cal being not too far behind him.
I want to see the rider thats the most capable of providing us with some good entertainment, and from what we have witnessed so far, Spies is not that man.

You may not know the name Katherine Isabelle off the top of your head, but we do. She often stars in (good) underground horror movies. The cult films, Ginger Snaps and American Mary are both awesome indie horror films she's starred in. I guess those movies must have laid the ground work for her, as Katherine Isabelle has joined the cast of Hannibal for its second season. Trust us, she will be a great fit for the show. Beautiful, and oddly mysterious, we cannot wait to see just how juicy her role will be on this creepy show.
Kathrine Isabelle will play Margot. A potential love interest for Agent Will Graham. What we know for sure is that Margot is messed up seeing as to how she is a former patient of the good doctor. That is all we are be given, and the rest is vague. Oh, and it is said she will stick around for four episodes. Well, well. That kind of says it all, don't you think? Four episodes is not a very long life span on Hannibal. Safe to sat her storyline may end in some screams and some bloodshed. Judging by her films, that is just why they cast her.
Thanks to TV Line for the story.

More than 5 years ago, Cisco introduced its first Nexus 2000 Fabric Extender (FEX) into the market. This broad portfolio has enabled over 15,000 customers to seamlessly add network access port density across server racks without adding the inherent management complexity that comes with adding more boxes into your architecture to meet scaling requirements which ultimately translates into lower capex and opex for the business.
Today marks the next evolution for this portfolio as we introduce the Nexus 2300 platform – the 3rd generation Fabric Extender family. Based on the extensive innovations you have come to know from the Nexus 2100 and 2200 platforms, Nexus 2300 Fabric Extenders expand on these capabilities with:
- Larger buffers to absorb bursts of traffic for a wide variety of workloads such as multicast feeds, voice traffic, video traffic, and healthcare applications
- Unified Ports support enabling a flexible LAN and SAN deployment through support for Ethernet, Fiber Channel and Fiber Channel over Ethernet connectivity
- Support for Cisco's 40G BiDi optics simplifying migration 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet speeds while reusing existing 10G cabling
- Additional versatile TCAM which can be used for:
- Advanced features such as ACL classifications and QOS
- Hardware-capable local flow redirect for architectures that require intra-rack traffic to reduce bandwidth
Put all of these together with the single point of management, policy enforcement, zero-touch provisioning installation and automatic configuration that is available across all Nexus 2000 Fabric Extenders and you further benefit from a more simplified and flexible network design that helps you commission and decommission server racks faster, simplify operations, and support varying workload requirements.
Now let's look at the first member of the Nexus 2300 platform, the Nexus 2348UPQ. Priced at $9500 (US List), almost the same price as current 1Gbps FEXs, the Nexus 2348UPQ supports 48 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can add further 10 G ports when you split the 40G ports for up to 64 10G ports – perfect for data centers that are migrating their servers from 1 to 10G network connectivity. The 6 on-board 40Gbps ports support Cisco's BiDi optics so that as you migrate from 10G to 40G as your uplink speed, you can reuse your existing 10G cabling – helping you save on the costs of re-cabling your network and get it upgraded faster! This new fabric extender can be deployed in conjunction with Nexus 5500, 5600, and 6000 parent switches and with the Nexus 7000 and 9000 Series in the future.
In summary, Cisco's Fabric Extender portfolio has seen tremendous traction in the market as the many benefits of this architecture ultimately help create a cost-effective, flexible and simplified approach to building a data center network. The Nexus 2300 Series Fabric Extender, with the Nexus 2348UPQ, continues to deliver on these same principles and further expands on the promise of helping simplify network deployment and operations while ensuring the data center network is ready to support varying application needs. I invite you to learn more about the Nexus 2348UPQ and other Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders at www.cisco.com/go/nexus2000.

ACU students take top marks in Christian literature, writing contest
For immediate release
Abilene Christian University students have again made an impressive showing in the annual Student Writing Contest sponsored by the Conference for Christianity and Literature, capturing five out of the ten awards.
Results of the contest were announced this week by Wheaton College professor and poet David Wright.
Amanda Helms received first place in the fiction category for her story "Losing Joy," and Amy Deming's story, "Thorns," was honored with third place in the category.
In nonfiction, Chris Bourland's essay, "How Lovely is Thy Heavenly Dwelling Place," and Jordan Pownall's essay, "Toward the Sea," tied for second place.
A poem by Emily Hardegree called "fruit, wagon, sun," was given third place in a tie with a poem by a student from Gordon College.
"In previous years we have done very well, winning first place in fiction, for example, at least twice," said Al Haley, ACU writer-in-residence. "That said, this was our best year ever, even eclipsing 2000 when we took first, third, two honorable mentions in fiction and a second place in poetry, and this is the strongest showing we've made thus far in nonfiction, giving us a real presence in all three contest genres."
All winning ACU student works were written in creative writing classes taught by Haley.
In all, 90 writers from 20 different campuses, including Wheaton College and Calvin College, entered this year's contest, judged by Canadian writer Allison Gresik.
If you are a member of the media who would like more information about this release, please contact Wendy Kilmer, media relations coordinator.

Decapitated are a critically and popularly acclaimed death metal band from Poland; their style places them towards the more extreme and technical side of that genre. They come from Krosno in southern Poland, and they formed in 1996 (when the band's average age was merely 14) whilst all the members were at music school. With "Vitek" aged 18 and "Vogg" being aged 22 they are one of the youngest bands in the genre to have had major success. "Martin" and "Vogg" also hold gigs with the Polish experimental symphonic/technical black metal band Lux Occulta.
Decapitated released their first demo, Cemeterial Gardens, in 1997 and released their debut album, Winds of Creation, three years later. Its successor, Nihility is a more condensed, brutal and technical album, with an almost industrial guitar tone. Their 2004 album The Negation, and their latest, Organic Hallucinosis, both have a softer, more classical death metal tone. In summer 2005, "Sauron", the band's vocalist, quit the band, due to "health complications", according to Sauron. Replacing him is a vocalist by the name of ...

A trip to the bank was on Darren Mustin[db]'s to-do list last Monday. Fortunately for him, he never got a chance to scratch it off.Alabama's walk-on linebacker was more than ready to sign another round of paperwork to secure the bank loans necessary to keep him enrolled this fall.But he met with first-year coach [db]Nick Saban[db] earlier in the day, and when he mentioned the loans, Saban gave him a response he'd been waiting more than two years to hear."He said not to worry about [going to the bank], and that they were putting me on scholarship," Mustin said. "I tried to leave his office right away so I could just yell and scream, but coach Saban was eating lunch and he asked me to stick around and talk with him for awhile. I finally left and kept it to myself a little more - called my family, called a few friends, and that was it."As a senior, it was the last chance for Mustin's hard work to pay off with a scholarship.Mustin put himself in positon for the scholarship during spring practice, when he rose from a reserve role under the Mike Shula regime to the starting job on the weak side under Saban and defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.Last season, mostly in goal line duty, he made eight tackles on 66 snaps. This year as a starter, he could match those eight tackles by the end of the first game."It's taken a long time and a lot of work to get this far," Mustin said.
