Cowboys Photos
He said what? The greatest quotes from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones

"The facts are, I really do think that the way that things have rolled out, that I'm getting to do some of the best work that I've done, relatively speaking, in my career, these last several years." -- December 20, 2013, Jones before the Cowboys' Week 16 game against the Redskins. They lost the game to finish 8-8. The Cowboys haven't had a winning season since 2009 and have one playoff win since 1995.

Hi Guys,
I have 4 tables, viz. problem, area, engineer and complaints. While storing the data in the table of complaints, the respective ids of former three are stored. While displayng the records of complaints, i am able to get the ids of the former tables viz. problem, area and engineer and not the names. The other fiels are displayed, fine.
My problem is how do I run a SQL query, such a way that I get the names of the above mentioned tables.
The tables are as follows:
1)probelm : probid, name.
2)area : areaid, name.
3)engineer: engid, engineer.
4)complaints: compid,custname,date,time,problem,area,engineer,status.
Pls help me !

SELECT c.compid, c.custname, c.date, c.time, p.name problemname, a.name areaname, e.engineer engineer FROM complaints c, problem p, area a, engineer e WHERE p.probid = c.problem AND a.areaid = c.area AND e.engid = c.engineer AND c.compid = ?
Is this what you meant? A join? Note: "problemname" and "areaname" are field aliases for your result set, because both fields originally have the same name "name".
A few comments though. Two fundamentally different types of things should, if at all possible, not have the same name. So, "problem.name" and "area.name" are fine, they refer to a similar things in different tables. But "engineer.engineer" and "complaints.engineer" are very different! The first is a name, the second is an id field. Try to adopt a naming convention for your id fields and others instead. For example:
problem: id, name
area: id, name
engineer: id, name
complaints: id, problemid, areaid, engineerid,...
Some people don't like things like "id" and "name" in tables, and would want you to use "problem_id" and "problem_name". That's fine too. As long as you're consistent.
Furthermore, watch out with names like "date", "time", and perhaps also "status". In some databases they are reserved words, and to prevent problems you would always have to quote these field names (which leads you straight into the snake pit of case sensitivity if you don't watch out). Rather avoid them if you can.

By Jim Kerstetter Sun Microsystems (SUNW), mired in a three-year slump, is finally turning to its business partners for help. On June 1, Sun announced that it will merge its core product line with Japanese computer maker Fujitsu's (FJTSY) similar line by 2006. "This is all about choice," Sun CEO Scott G. McNealy said at a press conference announcing the partnership.
Maybe for customers, but McNealy has little choice. Reluctant to make big cuts in the past, he now says he's seriously looking for ways to get costs down. In Sun's most recent quarter, which ended in March, the outfit had a $750 million net loss on $2.6 billion of total sales. It was the 12 consecutive quarter of declining year-over-year revenues.
HEAVY RESEARCH COSTS. McNealy's cost-cutting goal, he now says, is to get Sun's operating expenses down to $4.7 billion. To get a sense of how big the challenge will be, that amount is about $300 million less than what analysts expect Sun to spend in the fiscal year that closes at the end of this month. While McNealy didn't provide many details on how the partnership will work and the savings it will provide, he made it clear it will help Sun meet those aggressive cost-cutting goals. "This will definitely make the investment dollars go further," he says.
How? For years, Sun has carried the biggest research-and-development load among top computer manufacturers. At 17.3% of total sales, Sun's R&D budget dwarfs those of streamlined competitors like Dell (DELL), which spends just 2% of total sales on R&D. Sun spends so much because it designs its own chips, computer systems, and software. The outfit doesn't break down its R&D spending, but analysts estimate the Silicon Valley computer maker spends an estimated $400 million per year just on development of its SPARC microprocessors. The biggest R&D item is software, which takes up about half of Sun's R&D budget.
Fujitsu is a natural development partner for Sun. The two companies have worked together since shortly after Sun was founded in 1982. It co-developed with Sun the first line of servers based on the SPARC processors. Now it's the one major computer manufacturer that sells machines based on Sun's SPARC chips and Solaris operating system. Depending on the level of the companies' cooperation, Sun could save $300 million to $400 million per year, according to earlier estimates by Sanford Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi Jr.
"ACCELERATED" PARTNERSHIP. Sun could use the tonic because it's bleeding market share as well as red ink. In the first quarter of 2004, it was the only major server maker to see year-over-year server sales decline. Its 10.2% share of the $11.5 billion quarterly market is down 6.8 points since 2000 and off 2.3 points in just the last year, according to market researcher IDC. Meanwhile, Fujitsu's share is slowly growing -- 8% in the first quarter, up 3 points since 2000.
Codenamed the Advanced Product Line, or APL, Sun says the new servers should have twice the processing power of their current servers and will replace Sun's SunFire and Fujitsu's PrimePower lines. Fujitsu sells servers based on Sun technology in a partnership with Siemens (SI) of Germany.
The "accelerated" Fujitsu partnership, as McNealy calls it, is a good step in Sun's newfound austerity. But plenty more needs to be done before Sun finds its way back to profitability. Kerstetter covers Sun from the San Mateo bureau of BusinessWeek

Conflicting reports hint at Facebook Home on iOS, Windows Phone
updated 09:56 am EDT, Tue April 16, 2013
Would likely be different experience from Android phones
Facebook Home or some of its concepts could make their way to iOS and Windows Phone, Bloomberg reports. In an interview with the publication, Facebook product director Adam Mosseri says that negotiations are underway with Apple and Microsoft. "We've shown them what we've built and we're just in an ongoing conversation," he states.
Mosseri says that Home could be a very different entity on iOS. "It may or may not be Home," he explains. "We could also just bring some of the design values to the iOS app. That might be how it ends up. Or we could build just the lockscreen. Maybe then it's not called Home, it's called something else." During Home's Android launch last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that "Anything that happens with Apple is going to happen with partnership."
Despite claims directly from Mosseri, a Facebook source reached by the The Next Web insists that the company isn't in talks with Apple or Microsoft, and that there are no plans to bring Home to either iOS or Windows Phone. Porting Home to iOS might prove especially difficult; while Home was prototyped using Apple's Quartz Composer, iOS is designed to be much less customizable than Android, for instance preventing apps from appearing over other apps, or taking over the lockscreen. As a result Apple would likely have to agree to make Home an integral part of iOS, extending Facebook hooks beyond current sharing and single sign-in features.

This weekend (29 June 2013) is the birthday of my wife, Cheri. Happy Birthday, sweetheart!
The letters in her full name — Cheri Victoria Wallace Matthews — reveal a lot about her. They rearrange to spell: "Worthwhile acclaim reactivates" and "Well! Charisma to a creative witch". (Since Cheri thinks of witchery as symbolic of feminine power and womanly magic, that's a good thing.) There's also "Ha ha! Well! Star comic, creative wit" and "Whatever catholic miracle waits". (She being a Baha'i, I assume this is lower-case "catholic", in its proper sense of "universal".)
Be that as it may, this amazing woman is the love of my life. Her birthday is always a Big Deal to me, and this one even more than usual. She's 70 years old, amazingly deep and resilient, full of life and sparkle.
This year is a special milestone for me, too, though I hadn't done the math till this morning. It was exactly 32 years ago that Cheri and I met. And I just turned 64. Meaning it was exactly half my lifetime ago that I first was dazzled by this life-changing lady. Fifty percent of my years. From this point forward, I'll have known her for more than half my life; but that halfway point strikes me as worth celebrating.
Dazzled or not, it was at least five years later before we figured out that we had a thing for one another. That's another story, one I'll tell another time, God and Cheri willing.
Okay, I've dated this post 29 June, because that's Cheri's official birthday. But I'm actually writing it on Sunday, 30 June — which Cheri insists is still her birthday because it's part of her "birthday weekend". If she can fudge, so can I!Cheri's son, Shannon, is here this weekend, visiting from Los Angeles. (Having just been accepted at the University of California at Berkeley, he's getting set to go to school there.) Shannon and I, along with Cheri and her 91-year-old mom, Winnie Anderson, celebrated with a special dinner at Chesapeake's seafood restaurant in downtown Knoxville.
Cheri's gift from me — she asked for it particularly — was a copy of the heartwarming book "Prison Poems" by Mahvash Sabet, one of the Baha'i leaders unjustly imprisoned in Iran for her religious faith. This book, adapted to English by Bahiyyih Nakhjavani and published by George Ronald, is a classic. Highly recommended.
Today the four of us (Cheri, Shannon, Winnie, and I) toured the Knoxville Zoo. The zoo is literally right behind the house where Cheri and I live — it would literally be our backyard, if not for the alley separating us. But we've rarely visited it enough to do the whole deal. Today we did, and got some great photos. (See below.)
Feel free to leave Cheri a birthday greeting in the comments section below. Belated or not, they'll make her happy — and you know what they say about worthwhile acclaim.

We're excited to share that the campaign kickoff event has been scheduled!
Where: Brandi Fenton Park
When: Saturday, August 23rd from 4pm to 6pm
Please join us to help raise money and join us for the kickoff event. There will be a silent auction, food trucks, dog games, face painting, dog paw print painting, live music and much more!
Much of the planned new dog park have been revealed. The new addition to Brandi Fenton memorial park will include space for dogs to play throughout an obstacle course, benches, turf and even a splash pad! You can click the link below to view the plan.
Austin attended Catalina Foothills High School, playing football in his freshman and sophomore year. Following high school graduation, he enrolled in Pima Community College, and subsequently the University of Arizona. He took a job at Downtown Kitchen, which enabled him to live on his own and follow his dream of having a dog. He adopted his first husky, Aoki, from Pima Animal Care Center with his girlfriend, Alex. Aoki soon became the second love of his life. Shortly after that, he bought a red Husky named Zedd, who became his best friend and completed their family. In fact, his goal was to be able to rescue Huskies from PACC and adopt them out to loving families.
On December 3rd, 2013, Austin passed away at 19 years old after a 17-day battle with acute lung failure.
Austin was surrounded by his parents, god mother and many siblings who made up the rest of his loving family. His mother and step-father, Jenn and Steve Smith and his father and step-mother, John and Andrea FitzGerald and six siblings. Sarah FitzGerald, age 23, Madeleine FitzGerald, age 21, Maddysun FitzGerald, age 17, Jack FitzGerald, age 16, Finn Smith, age 9 and Fritz FitzGerald, age 5. Austin was extremely close to his God Mother, Becci Matheson. He loved spending parts of his summer in Colorado playing with her twins, Oliver and Rory. His parents were excited to see Austin create his new life as a young adult and take on new responsibilities in caring for his dogs, working and going to school. Austin looked up to Sarah for support and advise on being an independent student. He loved spending time with his sister Madeleine, who has three dogs of her own. His younger brother Jack often spent time bonding with Austin at his new house dreaming of his own independence. Austin loved being a big brother to Maddysun trying to help guide her through the trials and tribulations of high school. Austin loved playing with his little brothers, Finn and Fritz. Austin loved playing sports with Finn and would have been so happy to know he had started playing flag football. He enjoyed spending hours in the pool teaching Fritz how to swim while the huskies swam around them.
When Austin's family discussed establishing a memorial in his memory, all agreed that the one thing they could do, in addition to always remembering Austin and being with him in spirit, would be to establish a memorial whose purpose would be to provide a place where all can come to love and enjoy something that was very dear to Austin's heart. His passion for dogs, especially his dog Zedd, was deep and loving. Dogs brought him great joy and happiness.
As a result, Austin's family has established a memorial fund to create a dog park within a city park where individuals and families can bring their dogs to walk them, play with them, and spend time with them. This memorial will be permanent and will be a place that Austin would smile with joy and happiness to know that people and their dogs were enjoying the memorial park.
The Austin Fitzgerald Memorial Fund was created as a way not only to remember Austin but also to establish a memorial whose purpose would be to provide a place where all can come to love and enjoy something that was very dear to Austin's heart.
Many people share Austin's passion for dogs and how these companions bring joy and life to so many lives. This plan has unfolded into the creation of a dog park located in Tucson, Arizona. The Memorial Fund is an extension to fund and develop a sanctuary dedicated to Austin and his dog and companion, Zedd.
The dog park will be an addition to Brandi Fenton Memorial Park and will include a spacious area for dogs to run and play in an obstacle course, dog splash pad, turf and more. Click on the link below to view the location and also the initial plans and concepts.
YOU can make a difference by working in small ways with
many people that share your vision and passion.
Together we can work to make a better tomorrow for others.
The Austin Fitzgerald Memorial Fund is managed by the Brandi Michelle Fenton Foundation which is a registered 501(c )3 organization. Donations to the Austin Fitzgerald Memorial Fund are tax-deductible.
The foundation can be reached by the following:
Phone: (520) 647-7275

I recently changed from ISP and got a new router (a better one). The change was pretty easy and everything was up and running in no time, except the download station.
When I search for a file, all i get is a message "bezig met zoeken..." (dutch for "searching"), It will never find anything. However, it is possible to search for files from the Synodroid android app. Adding a torrent is possible, however it is just being added in the download list (under the name that I searched for). The downloaddoes not start, eventually geting into a connection time-out.
I tried resetting the DSM without any success. I also tried to disable the download station from the configuration panel, and after that resetting.
I opened all ports on the router for the download station, and eventually put the entire NAS in the DMZ. But this didnt work either. To be honest, I dont think the problem is in the port forwarding.
It might be the DHCP, the new router starts each ip with xxx.xxx.xxx.10, my synology is set to xxx.xxx.xxx.1 (which was the old ip address from my previous router). However, all other functions work perfectly, including photo station and remote web-access.
I've searched around this forum for a solution but I could not find anyone with this problem. The only solution I can think of is by upgrading to the new DSM 4.0, but that is a beta and I havent found anything that this might solve my problem.
I have a DS212j with DSM 3.2-1955.

Five shared services arrangements have amassed £30m in savings through a variety of measures such as the integration of IT systems, a report from the Local Government Association (LGA) has found.
The report, entitled Services shared: costs spared? was carried out by strategic advisers Drummond MacFarlane and looked at shared service agreements between Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire county councils, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority, Herefordshire Council, Herefordshire Primary Care Trust and Wye Valley NHS Trust, Procurement Lincolnshire, and Vale of White House and South Oxfordshire District Council.
It said that over the past five years, there has been an estimated 220 councils involved in shared services and therefore it was a good time to review the benefits of the shared approach.
In a more detailed separate report, the agreement between Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire County Councils, called LGSS (Local Government Shared Services) was analysed.
This report found that the shared approach had saved £1.78m in 2011-12 by integrating IT provision with Oracle and Fujitsu.
"LGSS negotiated with software suppliers on the basis that the suppliers should view it as one organisation rather than two councils, with commensurate implications for the cost of licences and development costs," the report said.
The re-procurement of the Cambridgeshire ICT network will result in further annual IT savings of about £2.9m per annum from 2012/13, the report said.
"Importantly, there has been no bespoke software. LGSS has insisted on a plain 'vanilla' approach to IT to ensure that processes are intuitive and simple. This has helped increase the savings that can be delivered," it said.
The LGSS forecasts annual savings during 2012/13 at £9.47m with the combination of IT provision and re-procurement of the IT network amounting to £4.68m. Further internal savings had been identified, which are projected to take annual savings to over £18m by the end of 2015/16. According to the report, these will result from longer-term changes to processes, culture and technology.
The LGA praised the LGSS for delivering the financial savings without any detrimental impact on service standards.
It also cited other advances in technology that have given the LGSS "wider benefits", such as the introduction of electronic rather than paper-based forms, a new pensions system and an improved payroll system.
However, it said that despite the upfront annual savings in IT, it was yet to implement a "single integrated IT strategy" across the organisation and urged the councils to train their staff to use SharePoint.
"IT is a critical enabler of wider business transformation and any failure will slow down other initiatives and ultimately impact on the success of third-party contracts. An integrated IT strategy across the councils is still being developed," it said.
The initial Services shared: costs spared? report found that shared services arrangements had many benefits but also warned that there were many challenges and constraints.
"Organisations have different cultures, structures and processes which have to be integrated if the new organisations are to be effective," it said.
In June, an apparent personality clash led to Hambleton District Council terminating its shared services arrangement with neighbouring Richmondshire District Council.

Week 2 Power Ten + Storylines of the Week + Game Balls
Power Ten - Week 2
1. San Francisco 49ers, 2-0 (1) - The 49ers simply play great in every phase of the game and wear teams down over the course of the 60 minutes they spend on the field together. Jim Harbaugh makes sure his guys do all the little things right, and it clearly makes a difference. Facing the Packers and Lions in the first two weeks may have seemed like a daunting task, but the 49ers went to work on both teams and won with ease.
2. Green Bay Packers, 1-1 (4) - The Packer defense woke up this week, and that should scare people. Clay Mathews, with 6 sacks in 2 games, has already equaled his 2011 sack total and looks like he is back in 2010 form. The offense hasn't fully hit its stride yet, but they had to open the season against the 49ers and Bears, so you have to cut them some slack.
3. Baltimore Ravens, 1-1 (3) - The Ravens have to be disappointed with the way they lost to the Eagles, but the greater concern has to be the team's overall road play. Last year, they were a dominant 8-0 at home, but only 4-4 on the road, and it seems that the trend is continuing. The good news is they will be at home this week in a battle against the Patriots for AFC supremacy.
4. Atlanta Falcons, 2-0 (7) - No team has started the season hotter than the Falcons. If anyone wasn't convinced after they blew out the Chiefs, they should be after their wire-to-wire victory against the Broncos on Monday Night Football. This team has been good for a while, but they seem ready to turn the corner and join the league's elite. The Saints are off to a bad start, and the NFC South is now Atlanta's division to lose.
5. New York Giants, 1-1 (5) - The Giants 4th quarter comeback reminded us of the greatness this team is capable of. The first 3 quarters also reminded us of the many problems this team has. The team clearly has some issues in the secondary and from the looks of things, they will be involved in plenty more shoot-outs.
6. New England Patriots, 1-1 (2) - It would be foolish to make too much of the Patriots loss to the Cardinals. Still, they have to take a fall after losing a game they were a two-touchdown favorite in. The Pats will surely rebound, but their poor protection of Brady this week does give cause for concern. TE Aaron Hernandez' injury doesn't look too serious and the Patriots are deep at the position, but it hurts to be without his services for their week 3 showdown with the Ravens.
7. Philadelphia Eagles, 2-0 (8) - Huge win for the Eagles against one of the league's top contenders. The Eagles' pass defense is one of the best in the league, and it showed in their ability to slow down Joe Flacco. The offense still has some kinks to work out, but you have to admire the heart Michael Vick is playing with.
8. Houston Texans, 2-0 (6) - The Texans look great, but they haven't played a real team yet. We should know a lot more about this team after their showdown with the Broncos next week. Still, you have to give the Texans credit for leaving no doubt in their wins against the Jaguars and Dolphins. Take no meaning in their drop in the rankings, it is simply a result of other teams winning big games and jumping up.
9. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1-1 (UR)
The Steelers can't wait to get HB Rashard Mendenhall back from injury, as Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer are just not giving them much pop in the run game. In the meantime, they'll just keep relying on Ben Roethlisberger to dice teams up with his arm. Roethlisberger was surgical against the Jets' defense with CB Darrelle Revis out, and the defense completely shut down the Jets' offensive attack.
10. Arizona Cardinals, 2-0 (UR)
At this point, the Cardinals are the surprise team of the year. Nobody could have expected them to go to New England and pick up a W, but the whole league has to be taking note of their defense right now. Guys like ILB Daryl Washington, DE Calais Campbell, and OLB Sam Acho are quickly gaining recognition, and CB Patrick Peterson is living up to the hype and more. Dating back to last year, the Cardinals have won 9 of their last 11.
Week 2 Storylines
1. The Eagles have a new attitude
The Eagles came out last year thinking they would just run everyone off the field. When things didn't work out that way, they weren't able to keep their composure. This year, they understand it's not going to be easy and are willing to fight for a tough win. They've mounted two excellent fourth quarter comebacks and have won both their games by a single point thanks to TD runs in the last 2 minutes of the game by Michael Vick.
2. Panic mode for the Saints
The notion that the Saints would be okay without head coach Sean Payton because they have plenty of veteran leadership has been blown up. The defense looks terrible and has been lit up by the Redskins and Panthers. The offense is still moving the ball, but they don't have the same flow they used to and clearly miss Payton's game-planning and play-calling. They will be playing a Chief team that has looked dreaful thus far at home this week and need to get back on track.
3. Same Old Raiders
The Raiders cleaned house this year, but the results haven't changed. Their play has been extremely sloppy the past two weeks, they continue to struggle on east coast road trips, and simply are finding ways to lose games. Darren McFadden has not been finding any openings in their new zone-blocking scheme, and Carson Palmer is not a great fit for the west coast offense they are trying to install. One has to wonder if the Raiders did the right thing firing Hue Jacskon, who at least had the Raiders playing .500 ball. They look like they could be the worst team in the league at this point.
4. Is Jay Cutler a leader?
Jay Cutler may have gotten a little full of himself after his week 1 success. He publicly challenged the Packers' defensive backs to cover his receivers before the game, but then threw four interceptions to them. He took very little personal responsibility for his own mistakes, but yelled at and bumped into his left tackle during the game for not blocking well enough for him. His teammate, CB DJ Moore, commented afterwards that he was "wrong" and that he "is who he is". Jay Cutler is a very talented QB, but his character has come into question before and for good reason.
5. Overreactions in Dallas
The Cowboys' opening day win against the Giants was a big one for the team, but they forgot it was only week 1. After Tony Romo's big game, there were suddenly talks of the organization giving him a big extension, as if he had just won them a Super Bowl. Romo probably deserved the extension a long time ago, but after a poor outing against the Seahawks, Cowboy fans will probably be calling for his head again. People in Dallas need to take a deep breath and realize it is a long season, and championships aren't won in September.
6. The NFC West is no cakewalk
Last year, the 49ers pretty much had the division clinched halfway through the season. The 49ers look every bit as good this year, but the division crown won't come so easy this year. The NFC West went 4-0 this week, and the Seahawks, Cardinals and Rams all look like they are greatly improved from 2011. Jeff Fisher has the Rams playing hard, and Sam Bradford looks the guy who won the 2010 OROY. The Cardinals just finished pulling a huge upset against the Patriots and have a very underrated defense, and the Seahawks blew out the same Cowboy team that beat the Super Bowl champs a week ago.
7. The Giants are going to lean heavily on Manning, Cruz, and Nicks
The Giants are a flawed team. Their running game, which ranked 32nd last year, doesn't look like it's going to be much better this year. Their coverage units are from impressive. They are extremely thin at receiver. However, the combination of Eli Manning and WRs Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz is too much for many defenses to handle. Tom Coughlin will try to get these issues resolved, but until then he will lean on his offensive stars and his pass-rushers.
8. Trent Richardson is going to be dynamic
After a ho-hum rookie debut, HB Trent Richardson exploded onto the scene with a big game against the Bengals. It wasn't enough to get his team the win, but anyone watching the game can see his running style will translate to the NFL. The main concern about him at this point has to be his durability. If he can stay healthy, he seems destined for greatness.
9. Never doubt the Steelers
You could hear all the whispers after their back-to-back losses to the Broncos (last year in the playoffs and this year week 1). Their defense is getting old, their receivers are too small, their offensive line is a liability, their run game isn't what it used to be. People forgot that all the Steelers do year after year is win games. They got Ryan Clark and James Harrison back this week, and their defense shut down the Jets. The Steelers do have things like injuries to OG David DeCastro and HB Rashard Mendenhall working against them, but Ben Roethlisberger will make plays on offense and this team is too well-coached to fall apart.
10. Mike Nolan has the Falcon defense playing at a high level
The Falcon defense looks downright swarming early in the season, and it seems they are ready to take the next step. They have been a solid unit for years, but have struggled against elite passers. The additions of Assante Samuel and Dunta Robinson have given the Falcons the necessary cover corners to get past this. Losing CB Brent Grimes for the season was a blow, but you wouldn't know it while watching Peyton Manning struggle against their secondary. LB Sean Weatherspoon is a rising star, and safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud have emerged as quality starters.
Week 2 Game Balls
1. DE Calais Campbell, Arizona
The Cardinals knew they needed to get some pressure on Brady to slow down the Patriot offense, and Calais Campbell answered the call. He sacked Brady twice and harassed him all night in a game where he collected 10 tackles. The Cardinals held the Patriots to just 18 points and came up with the biggest upset of the year.
2. MLB Karlos Dansby, Miami
Dansby didn't exactly fill up the stat sheet, but he had a big impact on the game. Of course, Reggie Bush's explosive runs were what closed the game out for the Dolphins, but Dansby's defensive presence stopped the Raiders from moving the ball with any consistency all game. The Raiders were trying all game to work the ball across the middle of the field, but Dansby was always in position to disrupt the pass.
3. WR Danny Amendola, St. Louis
Sam Bradford threw the ball Amendola's way 16 times last week. The result? 15 catches, 160 yards, 1 TD, and a comeback win. Amendola got some press a few years back when he was featured on Hard Knocks with the Cowboys, but they clearly didn't think he was going to become a go-to receiver when they subsequently cut him. Bradford, one of the league's most accurate quarterbacks, has great chemistry with Amendola, and doesn't seem to mind his lack of size and top-end speed.
4. QB Cam Newton, Carolina
Newton took no time rebounding from an ugly week 1 loss, putting the team on his shoulders in a big divisional win against the Saints. He not only posted a QB rating of nearly 130, but ran for over 70 yards, and simply gave the Saints' defense fits.
5. HB Andre Brown, New York Giants
The heroes of this game are obviously Eli Manning, who threw for over 500 yards, and wideouts Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz, who combined for nearly 400 receiving yards. However, Andre Brown's contribution cannot be understated. When Ahmad Bradshaw went down with injury, it was unclear what the Giants would do at the running back position, considering Coughlin's lack of faith in HB David Wilson. Brown came in and ran the ball 13 times for 71 yards, including the game-winning score, and did just enough to keep the Buccaneer defense honest.
6. WR Michael Crabtree, San Francisco
Crabtree didn't have a great game, but he closed this game out for the 49ers. Up by a touchdown with 10 minutes left to go, the 49ers started a drive at their own 20. Three times, the 49ers faced third and long. Each time, Alex Smith found Crabtree, who did a great job getting open and fighting for first down yardage after the catch. The end result was a 6-minute touchdown drive that essentially iced the game.
7. OLB Clay Matthews, Green Bay
Mathews smelled fresh meat in LT J'Marcus Webb, and played like a man possessed as he sacked Jay Cutler 3.5 times in the Packers' win. Cutler was feeling the pressure, and ended up throwing 4 picks as he rushed his throws. The Packers knew a loss to the Bears would have put them in a big hole to start the season, and Matthews led the charge defensively.
8. MLB DeMeco Ryans, Philadelphia
A game ball should go to the entire Philadelphia secondary for holding Joe Flacco to 5.5 yards per attempt and limited Ed Dickson, Anquan Boldin, and Torrey Smith to a combined 5 catches for 81 yards. But if you want to credit one guy for the Eagles overall defensive effort, it has to be Ryans, who has quickly emerged as a defensive leader for the Eagles. He collected 7 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack and an interception, and played every defensive snap. The Ravens scored just six points in the second half, and the young Eagle DBs credited Ryan for letting them know what was coming.
9. TE Dante Rosario, San Diego
With future hall-of-fame TE Antonio Gates out, someone was going to have to step for the Chargers on offense. Rosario responded with a career performance, catching every ball thrown his way, including the first 3 touchdowns of the game. His red-zone presence allowed the Chargers to get touchdowns instead of field goals and jump out to a big lead en route to a blowout win.
10. SS William Moore, Atlanta
William Moore set the tone early for the Falcons, intercepting Manning on the third play of the game and returning it to the one yard-line to set up a Michael Turner TD run. He was around the ball all night, racking up 8 tackles, a sack, and 2 passes defended.

Laser Fat Liposuction Costs - Hagerstown, MD - Maryland
Zerona Laser Liposuction Prices in Hagerstown, MD
Zerona can be a totally new technique to treat difficult-to-remove fatty areas of the physique. It uses a potent cool-laser technology to encourage fat cells to release the fatty tissue, allowing your body to dispose of it in a natural way. The outcomes are comparable to liposuction if patients practice healthy diet and exercise habits concurrently with treatment. Both overall weight-loss and loss of inches in particular issue areas are feasible with the totally non-invasive Zerona laser therapy.
Six treatment sessions are essential and are typically financed together, to be performed over the course of two weeks. Each session will take around 40 minutes. The six-treatment course of action often costs from $2,000 to $3,500, even though that quantity can changed based on practitioner's fees, size of the therapy location, and geographic region you reside in.
Smart Lipo Price in Hagerstown, MD
SmartLipo is considerably additional inexpensive than conventional liposuction. Though prices for the SmartLipo procedure will differ depending on the size of the area to be treated, you are able to typically anticipate to pay approximately $1,700 to $4,500 per location treated with SmartLipo. The average traditional liposuction procedure on an abdomen costs about $6,500. The same procedure performed via SmartLipo costs $5,000. This distinction in pricing represents a 30% price savings.
Because SmartLipo is thought to be an elective process, insurance often will not cover the costs associated with it. Most of our doctors, nonetheless, believe that everybody really should have access to this cutting-edge process. As such, zero-percent financing is readily available to qualified applicants.
Laser Liposuction Consultation Cost
Most laser liposuction surgeons offer you absolutely free consultations. In the initial consultation the laser liposuction physician will examine you and give you an estimate expense of the laser liposuction surgery. Then he or she will ask for blood work and any further test necessary to know should you be a great candidate for laser liposuction surgery. Some surgeons could consist of these costs inside the total price of the surgery or might provide you with the option to select a lab of one's preference. In any situation; it's best to only have to have to pay for the expense of the laser liposuction surgery once your surgeon is certain that you are an excellent candidate for the surgery in Hagerstown, MD.
Average Laser Lipo Costs in Hagerstown, MD
Most laser liposuction surgeons supply payment plans and financing options. Since the expense of laser liposuction is often greater than what a patient can afford at one time many financial institutions also supply alternatives so that you simply can easily afford this surgery. Your surgeons might inform you about these plans or you may perhaps apply for many of them online. The way financing works is very similar to any other type of financing in Hagerstown, MD. You apply for a payment plan and once approved the financial institution will pay the amount that you were approved for to the laser liposuction surgeon. Then, you will make monthly payments with and interest as agreed as soon as you enroll within the financing plan. This will allow you to pay for your laser liposuction surgery over time.
Laser liposuction not only provides a far more gentle and less painful experience for the patient, it has also been proven to be a safer process than classic liposuction, with patients experiencing a lowered incidence of bleeding, clotting, and other serious complications. Patients are generally far more satisfied with the outcomes of laser liposuction due to the fact of the skin tightness and smoothness. While no procedure can guarantee results or satisfaction, the vast majority of laser liposuction patients see outcomes in three to six months.

Jay Kostenbauder of Cool Creek had to celebrate alone after Saturday's York County Amateur Golf Association's Spring Better Ball tourney win at Springwood Golf Club.
His partner in the event, Randy Grim of Cool Creek, had a 4 p.m. appointment elsewhere and couldn't stick around to see if their combined 6-under-par 66 would hold up.
It did, and Kostenbauder and Grim had to settle for a congratulatory cellphone call instead.
Kostenbauder and Grim wound up two shots better than the twosome of Bon Air's Bobby Stiffler and Royal Manchester's Chance Miller, and the team of South Hills' Matt Henry and Grandview's Dustin Jadro in the YCAGA's season-opening event.
"We had two bogeys and that ended up being the difference," Stiffler said. "All and all, I think Chance and I were happy with the round. I've only played maybe five rounds so far this year, so I'll take it."
For Kostenbauder, the challenge in battling a golf course is something he relishes after the challenge he faced three years ago when he was diagnosed with squamous-cell carcinoma.
"In 2012, I had chemo and radiation all summer at York Hospital," Kostenbauder said. "They got the cancer, though."
Three years later, and after another squamous-cell scare on his neck last year, Kostenbauder said he has been getting clean bills of health and is back to playing the game he has enjoyed since 1991.
"I ended up with neuropathy in my hands and feet," Kostenbauder said. "My brain burns up sometimes because I am used to playing better sometimes. You just deal with it and press on. It's just one of those things. Sometimes it feels like the effects of the chemo and the radiation will never go away. Hopefully, it will go away this year."
Kostenbauder and Grim birdied the par 4, 283-yard sixth hole and the par 5, 535-yard seventh hole on the front nine to sit at 2-under-par halfway.
"We played well on the front," Kostenbauder said. "We missed three birdies on the front. We very easily could have went real low."
A birdie on the par 3, 152-yard twelfth hole brought them to within a shot of Stiffler and Miller's 4-under 68 that had led most of the day. Kostenbauder and Grim then reeled off birdies on 15, 16 and 18 to close out the round and earn the victory.
"The key in these better ball events is to stay in each hole," Kostenbauder said. "When he was out of the hole, I was able to make a birdie. When I was out of the hole on 18, I had a bogey putt there, he made birdie. It's a ham-and-egg type of thing. We complemented each other well out there.
"We both pretty much went out and tried to play our own games. When we went out on 18, I knew he was safe, so I went out and tried to do something crazy and I did. I got in trouble. That happens. It worked out okay. I know his game. I've played against him a lot. He's steady."
This was the first time Kostenbauder and Grim had played together in a team event. Kostenbauder's longtime better ball partner, Scott Knouse of Outdoor Country Club, is battling cancer himself right now. Interestingly enough, Knouse defeated Grim in the YCAGA Senior Match Play Championship at Heritage Hills last September.
"Randy and I have played a long time against each other at Cool Creek," Kostenbauder said. "We just decided to hook up and played well together. Real well."
Henry and Jadro sat at 1-under par after nine, then birdied 10, 15 and 16 to forge a tie with Stiffler and Miller.
"We hit the ball pretty well," Henry said. "It was just hard making putts with the greens being top dressed and punched. The rest of the course was decent. It's early. Most courses are like this. Overall, we had our chances. Just couldn't get it done."

Last night, we celebrated Target's 50th anniversary with a red-and-white vaudeville performance, pomegranate cocktails and a DJ set courtesy of Harley Viera Newton. Alicia Keys even popped by to serenade the store with an a cappella rendition of "Happy Birthday." But much of the action happened on the red carpet, where Naomi Watts and Revenge's Christa Allen posed for photos alongside Bullseye, Target's famous white spokesdog.
Naomi recently wrapped up work on Diana, the much-anticipated Princess Di biopic for which she got to wear some pretty spectacular '90s-era clothing. So which was her favorite outfit from the shoot? "The one-shouldered Versace gown is such a classic," she told us. "And then there were a couple dresses that were actually worn by her, which was so special." And although she turned up in a polka-dotted top and bangle watch from the retailer, the actress and mother of two says she typically forgoes Target's wearable offerings in favor of the home goods section. "I'm a big fan of Tupperware," she laughed. "I know that sounds crazy and outdated, but I love it." We love a lady with mad organizational skills.
When Revenge star Christa Allen walked the carpet, we were eager to chat all things Season Two-related. "This season, she's got a little more fight in her," Christa said of her troubled character Charlotte Grayson. "She certainly won't be resorting to pill-popping!" She confessed that she loves slipping into the show's costumes, too—and prefers them enormously to the scrunchies and leggins she wore as a preteen Jenna Rink in 13 Going On 30 (another major Lucky obsession). "Everything in the '80s hurt, from the pulled-up, kinky-curled hair to the tight waist belts!" she explained. "I'll take my pretty, girly Hamptons frocks any day." Speaking of style, which designer would Christa most like to see collaborate with Target? "Tom Ford!" she exclaimed. "He's a fashion god. I have an altar to him in my house. He's a genius, he's beautiful…I mean, the list goes on."
As for the major labels Naomi Watts would most like to see team up with the big bullseye? "Has Stella McCartney done it yet?" she asked me. "Definitely her…and Helmut Lang. Oh, and Isabel Marant!" We'd certainly line up to snag an affordable take on Isabel's famous wedge sneakers. Target execs, are you listening?
Click through to see a few of the evening's big-name arrivals—yes, including Bullseye the Dog. Because we too posed for a photo with him, and we are smitten.

Eckerd College Featured in 2012 Edition of The Princeton Review's The Best 376 Colleges
Eckerd College is one of the nation's best institutions for undergraduate education according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company known for its test-prep courses features the College in the just-published 2012 edition of its annual book, The Best 376 Colleges. In addition, Eckerd is #16 on the Most Popular Study Abroad Program list and is one of 135 schools named in the "Best in the Southeast" section of its website feature, "2012 Best Colleges: Region by Region."
In its profile on Eckerd, The Princeton Review quotes extensively from Eckerd students surveyed for the book. Standouts include a "great" marine science program - "one of the best in the country" according to scores of students. "We also have a really good study abroad program," notes a sophomore. "Eckerd really emphasizes international travel and you can study in a host of far-flung locales during your career here."
"I enjoy that I am not in a room filled with 300 students," relates a human development major. "I get one-on-one help when I need it. The professors seem to love their jobs and love helping students." "Professors are almost always accessible outside of the classroom and love to see you succeed in classes," adds an environmental studies major.
The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges hierarchically, 1 to 376, because they differ widely - and importantly - in their program offerings and campus culture, and that is their strength. A college's appearance on a ranking list is entirely the result of a high consensus among its surveyed students about a topic compared with that of students at other schools answering the same survey question(s) on the ranking list topic.
Says Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Senior VP/Publisher, of The Best 376 Colleges, "We're pleased to recommend Eckerd College to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree. We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as 'regional best' colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs. Only schools that permit us to independently survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional 'best' lists."
The Princeton Review is an education services company known for its test-prep courses, classes, tutoring, books, and other student resources. Headquartered in Framingham, MA, with editorial offices in New York and locations across the U.S.A. and abroad, the Company is not affiliated with Princeton University, and it is not a magazine.

All donations will be given to the Greater New Orleans Foundation in support of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill.
Lisa and Daun are two teachers and stepsisters who will be cycling this summer 2010 from San Francisco to
Vancouver starting August 9th and ending around August 23rd! The trip was originally going to be
just a summer vacation (I guess that's what you can call 1500kms of cycling) but when the oil spill happened in April they decided to dedicate this ride to fund-raise for the "Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund"
and named the tour, "Get out the Grease!". The goal of the ride is to raise $3000 (but would obviously be happy if they surpassed that goal!). As educators they also hope to teach through their actions and maybe even motivate others to take action! Check out their blog for updates and more information: www.getoutthegrease.blogspot.com.

Inspired by the standard maverick deck. This is more of a flicker deck using exile cards like Cloudshift, Fiend Hunter, and Vanish into Memory to either double up on come into play effects, or flicker my opposition out of the way so I can hurt the enemy.
I really want to fit in two Eternal Witness and a Thragtusk as well, but cant figure out what to cut.
Im on a tight budget for new cards but open to suggestions.
Played a few games recently. The deck plays pretty well. Dropped two Inquisitor Exarch for Thragtusk and Eternal Witness. Dropped one Flickering Ward for a Viridian Shaman
Rafiq is sick with flickering ward. He dishes out 8 damage a turn with exalted and double strike.
Deadeye Navigator will be the ultimate card for the deck. Because he flickers whatever you need, i mean think about him flickering Thragtusk all day long. And i would recommend a Birthing Pod or two so you can get to your needed targets. Its a phenomenal tutor card.

Thanks for commenting Nanoex1. I dont think the Deadeye Navigator s will work too well in this deck. They are expensive to cast and use in a deck where I am only splashing blue for a few key lost cost spells.
I'll try out replacing the 4 card:Green Sun's Zenith with 4 Birthing Pod . Im not sure its any better than the green sun but we shall see.

SOMERSET, Ky. (WKYT/WYMT) - Kentucky transportation officials say they are usually always ready for a snow event in late fall, but they say they're having a hard time believing they're going to be working in some kind of winter weather…when that season is still about two months out.
Crews are getting ready for winter's worst….even though it's only the middle of autumn.
"All of our trucks have been calibrated and inspected. All of our domes are loaded with salt. Calcium and brine are loaded to max capacity," said Amber Hale, spokesperson for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's district office in Somerset.
Usually crews in southern Kentucky do not respond to snow events untilat least December, but all their trucks are geared up with shovels, crews are on stand-by, and all the domes are full of salt.
"We have approximately 19,000 tons of salt, in-place through the 10 counties. Each dome holds about 5,000 tons of salt," Hale said.
The transportation office that is based in Somerset actually covers a 10 county area with crews ready to treat, plow or salt about 4,800 miles of state highway in those 10 counties.

Greensburg Tribune-Review athletes of the week: Latrobe's Christopher Johnson, Kayla Owens
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Christopher Johnson
School: Latrobe
Year: Junior
Sport: Hockey
Claim to fame: Johnson, who had 10 goals and 13 assists during the regular season, scored a goal and had an assist to lead Latrobe to a 3-2 win against Chartiers Valley in the PIHL Class AA Penguins Cup semifinals March 12. Johnson also had a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win over Hampton in the first-round March 7. Latrobe will face Pine-Richland in the Penguins Cup finals Wednesday night at Consol Energy Center.
"I'm very happy with how the team is doing during these playoffs, and hopefully we will have two more games," said Johnson, citing a state championship game berth for tonight's winner. "We have to play smart hockey, continue doing the small things. That's what has helped us with the two wins so far."
What does the team need to do to defeat Pine-Richland?
We need to keep doing the small things, like getting the puck deep and low. We need to get more time on the power play and continue working hard as a team.
What have the seniors — Josh Singley, Robert Vasinko and Shane Brudnok — meant to this team?
It's great having the seniors this year. They have been down this path before during their freshman year and they can tell us what to expect during this playoff run. It's great to be on Josh's line. I was on his line during my freshman year. We work well and move the puck well.
What has been your personal motivation during this playoff run?
Just really the goal has been to win a state title. It's been pushing me so far. Whenever the team is down, I try to put the team on my back. But the success has to be given to our overall team effort. My personal success wouldn't have happened without the help of my linemates.
What do you want to be remembered for when you graduate?
I just want to be known for the hardworking player I am and for being a great guy in the locker room. I'm not very uptight. I like to keep it very loose. I give it all I have when its time to practice and play a game. I want the underclassmen to look at me as a leader.
What is something people might not know about you?
I'd say that my favorite pregame meal is pasta. Before every big game, my mom has it ready for me to eat or I can heat it up if she's not there.
Kayla Owens
School: Latrobe
Year: Junior
Sport: Swimming
Claim to fame: Owens finished third in the 200-yard IM with the time of 2 minutes, 3.11 seconds and helped the 200-yard medley relay team place fourth (1:47.19) at the PIAA Class AAA swimming championships Friday. She also finished fifth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:04.05) and helped the 400-yard freestyle relay team take fifth (3:30.51) on Saturday.
"I was pretty excited with how I performed and by placing third in the 200 IM and fifth in the 100 breaststroke," Owens said.
This is your third year going to states. Did you feel anymore prepared and did it help you perform better?
Since I have gone to states since my freshman year, it helped me with my nerves. I was nervous, but I was more relaxed than previous years.
What do you need to improve on during the offseason?
There is a lot I need to improve. I need to work on getting better with my technique and having better turns. I think I can improve a lot more. I need to keep working hard in practices everyday.
Did you think you met your expectations this year?
I think I did more than I expected. I was able to place third in the 200 IM and fifth in the 100 breaststroke. It was kind of a surprise to me.
What is the best piece of advice you ever have received?
Don't doubt yourself. Always believe you can do it with any goal you have in mind.
If you had the chance to meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
I would probably say (Olympic swimmer) Dara Torres. She has been competing at high level meets. Also, she has earned a lot of medals and because I like how she loves to continue to swim as she has gotten older.

Jared Carter is staying at UK. His dad, Jeff Carter, told the Georgetown News-Graphic that his son is "very adamant about finishing out at Kentucky."
In Sunday's edition of the News-Graphic, Carter is quoted as saying the family was shocked to hear about coach Tubby Smith leaving for Minnesota.
"I think everybody was in shock after it happened. Last time that I talked to coach Smith he told me he was there to stay," Carter said.
Jared Carter is a 7-foot-2 center and will be a redshirt sophomore next season. "He's going to stay at Kentucky," Jeff said. "He and I talked about it, and he's going to stay there.
The younger Carter missed the first five games of this past season with a dislocated shoulder. He re-injured the shoulder during practice in December and underwent season-ending surgery.
Carter played in three games, averaging 2.3 rebounds and 0.8 points.

How To Use Interfacing
Interfacing is very useful while sewing. Learn how to do it properly with the help of this VideoJug clip. You can do it yourself, the way you want it!
Today, I'll show you how to cut the interfacing. The interfacing, the fusible interfacing is a material like a stiff, you use it to stiffen certain parts of your garment. In this case now, we need to stiff the collar, the cuffs and the facing on front of the blouse.
But don't buy the very stiff one, it almost looks like paper and it's not really suitable for us. This is more for embroidery and stuff like that. Now, you maybe have noticed that fusible interfacing has, on one side, a cushy surface and on the other side, I would say, it looks like goosebumps.
Sometimes, the goosebumps are bigger, smaller, doesn't matter, this is the glue and sometimes, you have a cushy side and the very shiny side. The shiny side is the glue and the glue dissolves with heat to the left side of your fabric. Now, you have to cut this out, apply this on the left side of your fabric, put pressure and heat with your iron on it, and it will stick, really, with glue onto your fabric.
The next step is to iron and this is very, very important, to engrave a nice good-looking outcome. I applied the interfacing tweed, then I ironed this back accordingly to the shape of the pattern and then I ironed here, a little bit, five millimeters approximately on the shoulder and on the length of the facing. This gives me a nice finishing, later on, I will zigzag this here in case you want to wear this blouse open, so you have a nice edge here and not fringes that are coming out.
So, now, I'm coming to finish the edge from the facing. For this, I choose again a big six stretch stitch and zigzagging around. It's how it looks like.
And that's how to cut the interfacing. .

licksmoney, glad to see you are still around!!!! I feel flattered that my post finally got you out of the mutual admiration society that you call a private board. Moneysquawks really missed you and I am sure he will be just about delerious with joy at your unexpected arrival!!
Now if you removed your blinders you would realize I was not bashing AAA. Maybe that idiot jeremy is related to you or even better yet is you!! Go back to the private board and continue to admire each other. You really don't want to be here and listen to anything resembling reality!!!!
PS Unfortunately for you, at this point in time, moneysquawks has been dead on the money ( even if it was blind luck ). Maybe you and karmie can come up with another inflated share price while at the same time making another moronic prediction on how many shares will be outstanding!! LOL!

Always a popular player as soon as Swannack entered the tournament site on Friday afternoon he was swamped by people shaking his hand and checking to see how his flight was. Swannack is the reigning New Zealand Magic card champion and impressed the whole of the world with his finish at the recent World Championships in Sydney, Australia. There's not much to say about Swannack that hasn't already been said before.
Swannack's main form of testing was Magic Online, which is becoming increasingly popular with the "Pros". Without leaving your home its possible to get a draft at any hour on just about any day of the year within about 5 minutes. Hailing from team 604, which is currently ranked 2nd on the server, Swannack gets a chance to discuss draft strategy and refine his pick list with some exceptional magic players giving him a distinct advantage.
Swannack said that he normally played about 3 hours a day on modo, mostly in drafts, and crammed in a few extra hours whenever his busy schedule would let him. He has also had the chance to play in a few sealed tournaments online as well giving him a thorough understanding of both portions of todays GP. With a slight preference for U/R in the draft portion, it's possible that he could obtain an extremely powerful deck with many Australians reluctant to take the somewhat weaker blue cards.
