ST. LOUIS Defensive coordinator Dom Capers found a way to combat all the problems the Green Bay Packers were having at safety.
His solution: Dont use one.
♦ Packers 36, Rams 17, gallery 1
♦ Packers 36, Rams 17, gallery 2
After losing starting strong safety Atari Bigby to a knee injury in Week 1 and suffering through the disaster that was Aaron Rouses performance in Bigbys place last week, Capers modified his base defense which he calls Okie by inserting an extra linebacker. The package dubbed Big Okie called for inside backer Brandon Chillar to play a hybrid safety-linebacker role, giving the 3-4 base defense more of a 3-5 look.
It all was concocted to help the Packers run defense, which last week allowed journeyman running back Cedric Benson to rip off 141 yards in Cincinnatis upset win at Lambeau Field.
♦ Sign up for news, weather, Green Bay Packers and high school sports text alerts.
How well it worked is debatable, considering the Packers still allowed the St. Louis Rams' bruising running back, Steven Jackson, to rush for 117 yards on 27 carries and account for 163 yards of total offense. However, the Rams were otherwise punchless in the Packers 36-17 victory on Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.
We like the way that Brandons been playing, and we felt that it was a personnel group that would match up against a bigger running back, Capers said. It was a way to get our best football players on the field. We thought by putting Nick Barnett, A.J. (Hawk) and Brandon out there together, we could match size with size. This running back is a tough guy to get down, as you saw today.
The Packers made the decision to go predominantly with an extra linebacker in their base defense early last week but gave the illusion throughout preparations for the Rams that safety Derrick Martin, who was acquired in a Sept. 5 trade with Baltimore, would make his first start. Martin did play in some base looks and in the nickel defense, but Capers went with Big Okie on high percentage of snaps.
Weve got packages on top of packages that we can implement, Martin said. That was a good thing for us. We were able to stop the run and not give up big plays in the passing game.
In Big Okie, Capers almost always had Chillar in the box, leaving only safety Nick Collins with deep responsibility. Still, the Rams never burned the Packers deep. They had only one completion longer than 19 yards. It probably helped that the Rams lost starting quarterback Marc Bulger to a shoulder injury in the first quarter and had to go with backup Kyle Boller, who finished 16-of-31 for 164 yards.
Obviously, switching positions in a couple of days is hard, said Chillar, who was credited with six tackles and one quarterback hit. I wasnt in deep third (coverage) or anything like that. They did a good job of keeping me down in there.
Chillar did give up a pair touchdowns in coverage to tight end Daniel Fells, who caught scoring passes of 16 and 19 yards, the second of which came when Chillar was playing his regular inside linebacker spot in the nickel defense. Chillar was misaligned on the first one, saying he was trying to be a linebacker instead of safety.
Capers said he has used Big Okie in previous years with other teams, but he wouldnt say whether it was a one-game stopgap or something he might employ regularly. Asked specifically whether it would work against Minnesotas Adrian Peterson next Monday night, Capers was evasive.
I dont know, well have to see how it looked, Capers said. Weve got a number of different packages, so we hope that gives us enough flexibility that we dont become too predictable week after week.
Today, we were going with Big Okie, and that can change from week to week.

The Brevard School Board.
- Filed Under
Update, 8:11 p.m.:
Board Member Karen Henderson asked school district staff to spend more time in writing clearer agenda items, which she said can be confusing to members of the general public.
"A lot of people thing we are doing things that we are not," she said during a time set aside for general board comments at the end of the meeting. ...
Board Chair Barbara Murray said that "some of the awareness has also come from citizen pressure," she said. "Keep it going. We can't let up on that."Update, 8:09 p.m.:

As The Volunteers, the U.S. Army's rock band, rehearsed for a Friday afternoon performance at Red Land High School, a dozen or so student musicians sat in the auditorium, watching as the band ran through "Happy" by Pharrell Williams and other songs.
Soon, the students were up on stage, examining The Volunteers equipment and chatting with the band members.
George Clements, a band director in the West Shore School District, said he has a friend in the U.S. Army Field Band who previously helped arrange for students to have a clinic with the Army's concert band. They've kept in touch, and Clements then got a phone call about The Volunteers touring through the area and wanting to stop at Red Land.
Clements said anytime students can have such an experience — "anything special" — it helps energize them.
"They need that nowadays to stick with it," he said, noting there's a lot of "instant gratification" in the world, but playing a musical instrument is not that.
Some technical issues meant the band had to spend a little more time than expected getting ready for the performance, but drummer and Staff Sgt. Glenn Robertson stepped down from the auditorium stage a few times to offer updates on what the band was doing. At one point, they were getting ready to rehearse a John Mayer song.
"Does anybody remember when John Mayer had a blues band? Where are my drummers?" Robertson asked students, telling them the song had a Steve Jordan "throwdown." Faced with some blank looks, he joked that they'd have detention to learn about the drummer.
After running through several songs, members of the band sat by the edge of the stage to field questions. Students asked about their equipment, their Army ranks, and their musical experience, before the band invited them on stage. They clustered around different instruments as the band members offered demonstrations.
"I think it's very cool we got to look at their equipment," said Red Land sophomore Quinten Spangler, a drummer, who noted the band members were open to answering questions about it. Quinten said he knew the Army had marching and concert bands but didn't know about a rock band.
That's a common reaction from many who see The Volunteers — students or adults, said Sgt. First Class Peter Krasulski, who plays bass. He said the band has clinics with students to show them this type of profession is out there, noting that he didn't know about it when he was in high school.
The band embodies the values of the Army, he said, and aims to travel around the U.S. sharing the Army's story.
"We're there to display excellence through music," Krasulski said.
Who are The Volunteers?
The Volunteers aims to tell the U.S. Army story through rock, pop, country and patriotic music, according to the band's website.
Members of the band told Red Land High School students that they've played everywhere from high schools to Pittsburgh Steelers games and children's hospitals. Their audiences might be 100,000 people or 30 people.

Little League International has assembled an online resource page dedicated to baseball bat information. Click Here to find the latest bat information, including the current Little League Baseball rules and regulations governing bats, definition of terms, the moratorium on the use of composite bats, and a series of frequently asked questions, with answers and licensed bat lists.
Concussion Information Provided for Little League Volunteers
Little League Baseball and Softball has always been at the forefront regarding the safety and well-being of children.
In an effort to provide all Little League personnel with the most current information on concussions, the youth baseball organization has created an informational page on its website that also includes links to training information and ways to recognize signs and symptoms of a concussion.
As the assessment and treatment of concussions and concussion-like symptoms has evolved, many states have enacted laws designed to educate people about concussions, and protect the health and safety of young athletes.
Some state laws are only applicable to school-sponsored athletics, or to activities taking place on school-owned property. Other laws are applicable to all youth sports organizations, whether, or not, they are affiliated with a school district.
It is strongly-recommended that local leagues consult with legal counsel in their jurisdiction to determine the applicability of state laws regarding concussions occurring while children are participating in the Little League program.
Not every state has adopted concussion laws and not every state's concussion law is applicable to a local Little League program. Nevertheless, in keeping with its focus on protecting the health, safety and welfare of children, Little League Baseball and Softball strongly encourages all leagues and teams to not only comply with any applicable state laws, but also to review the information and training materials on concussions which is available (free of charge) on the Centers For Disease Control website. The latest concussion information from the Centers for Disease control can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/online_training.html.
It is essential that each league review this material in order to understand its responsibilities regarding when and how to address concussions.

Safety Report "Hits and Runs, Bumps and Bruises: Health, Safety and Injury Prevention are the Keystone of Little League"
Dear Little League Friends:
For more than a half-century, Little League International has maintained extensive records on injuries in Little League games and practices. These records have been used over the years to monitor trends and, when necessary, to effect positive changes in the Rules and Regulations.
In many cases, these changes have eventually been adopted in other youth baseball and softball programs, as well as professional baseball. It is just one of the many aspects of Little League that sets us apart from all other youth baseball and softball programs.
For the first time, Little League International has produced a comprehensive report on the history of Little League's efforts and accomplishments regarding the wellbeing of its participants and volunteers. This white paper entitled "Hits and Runs, Bumps and Bruises: Health, Safety and Injury Prevention are the Keystone of Little League" provides an extensive review of advancements in these areas.
We invite you to review this important document, produced by the Little League International Communications Division. The white paper can be found at the Little League International web site by clicking on the link to the PDF below, or by pasting it into your web browser:

Norio Sasaki, Japan coach
I was not surprised that we won. Before the tournament began, we prepared for matches against the bigger teams like Germany and USA. I'm really pleased that we battled so well and got our reward. We now need a win against Congo to finish top of the group, and that will be no easy task.
Natsuko Hara, Japan attacking midfielder
We have a real chance of winning this tournament. Our main rivals will be Brazil.
Maren Meinert, Germany coach
We're still not consistent enough. One day we play well, the next we play badly. We dominated certain phases of the match against Japan but we definitely did not play to our full potential today. Nevertheless, I have to say that we shouldn't be surprised that Japan played so well. We were expecting that.
Isabell Kerschowski, Germany striker
As soon as the final whistle went, we started concentrating on Canada and nothing else. I am convinced that we can handle the pressure. The quarter final is now what we're all aiming for.

November 29, 2015
Senate Agriculture Committee chairman Debbie Stabenow is opposing House proposals to extend the current farm policy act and urging House Republican leaders to take up legislation to enact a new bill.
The Michigan Democrat said a House-Senate compromise on a new five-year farm bill is within reach if only the House acts on legislation approved by the House Agriculture Committee.
She said the two sides could settle differences in October and pass a bill in November.
The current farm bill expires at the end of September but many of its programs, including the food stamp program which helps feed some 46 million Americans, would continue after that date.
House Republicans, concerned about a tough fight over food stamp spending, have proposed extending the existing bill for a year.

Neighborhood shortcuts for an efficient gift search
When it comes to holiday shopping, some people are planners. These are the types who keep an eye out for potential gifts all year long, who spend long, leisurely hours trekking through shopping districts and browsing through stores for that perfect gift in June. But most of us are the other type of shopper: the oh-my-god-it's-almost-Christmas, I-only-have-two-days-to-get-everything, it's-too-late-to-order-online kind. For these people (you know, the rest of us), we've compiled this neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide to holiday shopping. Because as much as we'd all love to spend an entire week seeing what every little nook and cranny in the city has to offer, most of us need to get our gifts sometime before, oh, Easter.
Inner Richmond
Running the gamut from the cheap to the extravagant, Clement Street is an ideal place to do a bit of digging at stores whose owners sell what they like. On a gray afternoon stroll, you're certain to come across at least a couple of rare finds, the sort that will meet the high-design expectations of both the classy and the kitsch-cool San Franciscan on your list.
Donald Gibson buys a lot of his antique dining ware from Eastern Europe or "wherever the dollar is strongest," he says. The store runs on the model of highly organized chaos expect to find collectible plastic napkin rings from the 1930s, mod place mats, and postcontemporary cutlery all hiding between colorful displays of centuries-old china. Check out the walls too.
7 Clement, SF. (415) 752-1900
Fleurt occupies an impressive, breathable space. Its focus is on interior decor and unexpected gifts, most of them from Europe. But don't overlook the tres chic flower selection. Fleurt also provides on-site installations, so stop in and ask about custom wreaths and table arrangements.
15 Clement, SF. (415) 751-2747, www.fleurtstyle.com [1]
At Derek Song and Jamie Alexander's art and design shop, you're welcome to pick over bunches of slick T-shirts, hoodies, underread zines, and original artwork, most of it created by the owners and their friends.

Good, clean fun. The 6th Avenue Aquarium presents a dizzying array of fish and flowers, and everything inside is bathed in superpop blue. It's worth a stop just for the hyperstimulation your kid will love you for it.

The hilarious sign says, "Smile, your saving a lot of money." And dismal grammar aside, this place lives up to its awesome billing. You wouldn't know it on first glance, but this shop stocks big, cheap, decent rugs in the back, next to the aging paper goods and the empty boxes of Manischewitz.
626 Clement, SF. (415) 386-1896
Mission and Haight
Everyone knows about Therapy and 826 Valencia in the Mission, and about Shoe Biz and Fluvog in the Haight. But for more unusual gifts from the usual shopping spots, try one of these new, off-the-beaten-path, or simply off-the-radar spots.
This boutique's owner wrote the book on San Franciscostyle indie design literally. The local couturier was chosen as the author of Reconstructing Clothes for Dummies (Wiley Publishing), and for good reason: her well-made, imaginative creations have helped define recycled fashion.
485 14th St., SF. (415) 355-1900, www.mirandacaroligne.com [4]
No underachiever, Caroligne also has her hands (and designs) in this collaborative art and retail space in the Lower Haight. The brand-new co-op (its grand opening was, ironically and intentionally, on Buy Nothing Day) features gorgeous, one-of-a-kind items by local designers, who can be seen at work in their on-site studios.
544 Haight, SF. pandorastrunk.com
Holsters for your rock 'n' roll sis. Leather computer bags for your fashion-forward beau. Tribal earrings for your burner BFF. This circusWild Westpostapocalypticglobal wonderland (or weirderland?) in the Mission has something for everyone all designed by Phoebe Minona Durland and Leighton Kelly, the dynamic duo who've helped make the Yard Dogs Road Show and Black and Blue Burlesque some of the city's favorite exports.
510 Valencia, SF. (415) 255-9747, fiveanddiamond.com
You know that creative uncle or artsy aunt who always gets you the coolest, most interesting gifts anyone in your family has ever seen? The ones you love but your grandparents don't quite understand? This is the place to find something for them. In fact, the wooden mustache masks or stackable ceramics are exactly what you would've known would make the perfect gift if you'd known before you visited the shop that they even existed.
855 Valencia, SF. (415) 839-6404, www.curiosityshoppeonline.com [5]
This charming Mission boutique is cute-little-paper-items heaven: it has creative address books, miniature note cards, adorably funky journals, and much, much more. You'll also find one-of-a-kind wallets, sweet magnets, and McSweeney's T-shirts. In short? Stocking stuffers galore.
849 Valencia, SF. (415) 255-7900, www.littleotsu.com [6]
You can cruise the Haight for yet another hippie tapestry or stick of Nag Champa, or you can find something truly original for the alt-culture lover in your life. Ceiba stocks a dizzying array of inspired, fanciful clothing and accessories for men and women. Yes, some of the prices can be steep (though well worth it), but the smaller, cheaper items are just as gorgeous and just as unusual.
1364 Haight, SF. (415) 437-9598, www.ceibarec.com [7]
This neighborhood isn't just for tourists and locals pretending to be tourists. It can be perfect for gift shopping if you know where to look.
This is the place for cool mah-jongg and chess sets, opium pipes, and pretty little jewelry boxes. It even has clean, cute imitation designer bags good to know if your giftees swing that way.
456 Grant, SF. (415) 397-4848
This place is just fun to walk into. Plus, if you're in the market for brocade photo albums or scrapbooks, interesting wall scrolls, or unusual night-lights, a stop here is all you'll need.
800 Grant, SF. (415) 398-2602
There's a reason this store is a legend: it has every kind of kite you can possibly imagine. Keep in mind that kites are not only a good gift idea for outdoor fun but also perfect for decorating a big room.
717 Grant, SF. (415) 989-5182, www.chinatownkite.com [8]
Not just one of the few places in town where you can still buy a cast-iron pan, Ginn is also a source of adorable garnish cutters, charming cake molds, and delightful cookware.
1016 Grant, SF. (415) 982-6307
West Portal
Everyone's favorite hidden gem (well, it was until journos like us started writing about it), West Portal feels like a small town with the benefits of a big city. Sure, the shopping selection is limited. But it offers a lot of bang for the buck in products as well as personality.
This is one of those old-fashioned small gift stores that have a little bit of everything and all of it carefully chosen by someone (or someones) with great taste. The items in the baby section and the Christmas ornaments are particularly good, but you just might find something for everyone on your WTF-do-i-get-them? list.

This antique collective is a treasure trove of vintage goodness and has offerings in every price bracket.
199 West Portal, SF. (415) 242-9470, www.westportalantiques.com [10]
The only thing you'll love more than this shop's unique clothing and accessories for him, her, and baby is the phenomenal customer service.
320 West Portal, SF. (415) 681-7242, www.littlefishboutique.com [11]
You can't talk about shopping in West Portal without mentioning this brilliantly unconventional toy store (which also has a location in the Financial District but why brave the traffic?). Nearly everything here is educational or alternative in some way finding a Barbie or a toy weapon will be harder than finding a wooden train set.

East Bay
If panicked, harried customers noisily rushing to buy holiday gifts aren't your thing, escape the city for the quieter, quainter quarters of the East Bay. Better parking and pedestrian-friendly districts mean you can enjoy the trappings of charming boutiques without the tourist hordes or the headaches.
This cozy space in Berkeley's Elmwood District offers bedroom playwear in a decidedly unFrederick's of Hollywood environment. The dim lighting and rich interior say "sexy" (not "sleazy"), as do carefully chosen boudoir goods by Cosabella, Hanky Panky, Princesse tam.tam, Betsey Johnson, and Roberto Cavalli. Add the complimentary fittings from Ce Soir's sweetly attentive owner, and you've got the East Bay's best-kept secret since, well, Victoria's.
2980 College, Berk. (510) 883-1082, www.cesoirfinelingerie.com [13]
Well-selected clothes vie for attention with wall-hung art at boutique-cum-gallery August, located in North Oakland's Rockridge District. Both men and women will enjoy the laid-back staff, premium denim selection, luxe cashmere sweaters, and hard to find avant-garde labels not to mention the sustainable housewares and nature photography.
5410 College, Oakl. (510) 652-2711
Who doesn't dig candles and lotions, preferably many and in a variety of different scents and permutations? (C'mon, men, don't pretend you don't. Isn't that what the metrosexual revolution was about?) Body Time, with multiple locations in the Bay Area, provides not only the option to add custom scents to lotions and perfume bases but also nubby wooden massage tools and everything else to make it your body's time, all the time. Check out the one en route to dinner in charming North Berkeley.
1942 Shattuck, Berk. (510) 841-5818, www.bodytime.com [14]
If you don't mind riffling through the pack ratstyle holdings of Oakland's charmingly disheveled Antique Centre, head over with a car a large one. Vintage furniture and home furnishings clutter the house, and you'll often see full, undamaged wooden dressers or bookshelves for less than $10 (and sometimes free) on the front lawn. It's a calamity of objects on the cheap and dirty.
6519 Telegraph, Oakl. (510) 654-3717
OK. So shopping in the Marina can be expensive and you may have to dodge assaults by sales associates desperate for a commission. But when you're looking for that high-end dog collar or superstylie serving platter, there's really nowhere better to look.
This cute little pet shop features just the right mix of well-made necessities and ridiculously high-end luxury items for your giftee's pets. Try the basic cat toys for the down-to-earth pet lover in your life or buy the angora sweater for the friend who carries her puppy in her purse.
2220 Chestnut, SF. (415) 359-9100
This store, one of several owned by a small local chain, is famous for its knowledgeable staff. Not sure what to get your grandparents or your best friend? Find out what they read last, and let Books, Inc.'s staff help you decide.
2251 Chestnut, SF. (415) 931-3633, www.booksinc.net [15]
There's always that time in the gift-giving season when you need to buy housewares usually because they're a safe bet. Why not try Modica, an eclectic shop full of cute items that look vaguely European, including a selection of gifts made by the owner's sister?
2274 Union, SF. (415) 440-4389
This lingerie shopboudoir simply rocks, thanks to helpful staff and a small but quality assortment of sexy items. How about getting your lover candles that, when burned, melt into massage oil? Or, for the girlie girl (or boy) who still blushes at the mention of sex, try a condom compact, complete with a mirror and a secret compartment for you know what.
3047 Fillmore, SF. (415) 563-1202, www.intima-online.com [16]
This is the kind of place where you can feel good about spending too much money on clothes. The fashionable, comfortable clothes here are all ecofriendly, and a portion of the profits goes toward running wildlife conservatories in Africa. Plus, it has a killer 60 percent off section.

Brains Bravery and Magic
By Gadi Amit
When NewDealDesign began as a small, scrappy design team in the middle of the boondocks – we were literally next to boat repair docks – I had an eye towards longevity. Not purely in the sense of business success, but in the cultural impact I wanted our work to have on the world. I also felt an urge to expose large bulky "design agencies" as substandard…bigger is not better. A handful of highly trained designers will always surpass a whole bunch of poorly-managed, decentralized, creatives. This was and still is an immense challenge.
As NewDealDesign enters its next chapter, questioning the philosophical vantage point of "what is good design" has more meaning for us than ever.
There are many ways to judge the achievements of good design. Capitalists use good design to produce immediate and sustained cash flow. Purists unravel and reveal the underlying meaning of good design, identifying and building off of the statement it makes. Technologists desire efficiencies from good design that deliver function, reduce production timelines, material usage and increase product reliability. We designers have to meld it all into a single concise experience, since culture simply adopts good design, sometimes seemingly unconsciously, in an attempt to fill a rational void, or more frequently, an emotional one.
Good design can be an elusory concept. For some the meaning is narrow, others obscure, but at NewDealDesign it has clear, rich significance. Good design is first and foremost building something people will love. A good design is high quality, honest, inspires discovery, and seamlessly converges hardware and software, using creativity correctly to connect things for the better. You can't fake good, and if you try, people will know.
So, as I reminisce about the past thirteen years of NewDealDesign from the days of Palm, Netgear, the flood that ruined our Harrison Street office to the launch of Fitbit and Lytro to Cooper-Hewitt awarding us the National Design Award, I think about how and why we got here. We're still nearly-small and messy, but we get the job done- better than ever!
It's simple. NewDealDesign is built upon the belief that good design needs a New Deal. Like then and like now, we want to redefine the parameters of what we promise to our clients, to culture and to designers. It's not delivering dissertations or analysis paralysis – it's about pure hard work, getting dirty, burning midnight oil and sweating every detail…taming chaos to be kind through good design.
We do this because we believe that every product, no matter how ordinary, cannot be a figment of pure philosophical extremism – they have to work in the real world, constraints and all, but still provoke substantive human connections. NewDealDesign doesn't just make products, we do good. Good is good design, good work and good people. Good is good. It's an aspiration, making sure everything works right, looks perfect, fits in and feels nice.
Welcome once again to NewDealDesign…
Good Happens Here

Turn back the clock on daylight-saving time
I do not like this idea of changing the clocks twice a year for daylight-saving time, and I believe we should go back to the time we were once on where we leave the clocks right where we are now and do not change. Thousands of other Hoosiers also agree with me - at least those who cared to express an opinion to me one way or the other.

Nice move on North Street's bricks
As a licensed driver in Lafayette, I think that the facelift happening on North Street is a well thought-out decision. When I first glanced at the article about the plan, I was afraid it was going to say that the construction would wipe out the brick on the road for good.
But I was pleased to see this remodel is not only improving the bumps in the road, but also the water drainage that has been a problem. It is crazy to think that tweaking this road will end up reducing 6 millions gallons of water from entering the city's sewers a year.
Aside from the road itself, it is nice that the construction will also improve the uneven sidewalks. Overall, this new transformation that will be taking place is a great decision that will help the overall curb appeal and safety of the street itself.

Urge Congress to save postal services
How do senators and congressmen from Indiana feel about the post office? There are two bills:
? Senate Bill 1789: This bill will re-amortize the pre-funded retiree health benefit payments. The U.S. Postal Service is required to pre-fund the health care benefits of all employees for the next 75 years, which is $5.5 billion yearly through 2016. The postal service is the only government or private company that has such a burdensome requirement. If not for those payments, the postal service would have made profits of $200 million in the first quarter of this fiscal year. It also protects rural post offices from closure; and protects universal six-day delivery.
? And Rep. Daniel Issa's bill, (HR 2309), called the "postal destruction bill." This bill will radically reduce the number of employees, processing facilities, and post offices. If they close 3,700 post offices, it only saves three-tenths of 1 percent of the post office budget.
I met with Sen. Richard Lugar, Dave Murtaugh, regional director for Sen. Dan Coats, and U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita. Lugar engaged me but would not commit. Murtaugh gave me his business card and told me to email him. Rokita stated he was in line with the Issa bill.
There are 14,078 postal employees and retirees in Indiana. That's a lot of votes for senators to lose in an election year for non-support of legislation that saves the postal service. Does Rokita realize that 1,310 of those vote in his district? Will you stand behind your representatives if they want to close your local post office?

First off, keeping our kids safe and secure
I want to take this opportunity to share my views regarding recent news coverage recounting various cases of child abuse and deaths across Indiana. As I travel the state, I have received a great many questions on this troubling situation that affects our most vulnerable Hoosiers.
The first thing I want to say to the families and friends of children that have been victims of domestic violence and child abuse: I'm so sorry.
But this is not a time to point fingers or assign blame. It is a time for serious reflection, collaboration and most importantly action. We must study our current realities and review the established procedures and protocols associated with the reporting, monitoring, follow-up, and adjudication of alleged or suspected, and confirmed child abuse and neglect. We have failed these children. It's time to solve the problem, and not worry about who gets the credit.
The very first thing I will do as governor is protect Indiana's children. My first priority and directive to my executive staff will be to gather law enforcement, including prosecutors and sheriffs, local child advocates, judges, Family and Social Services Administration officials, public and private school representatives, parents and grandparents, health care professionals including family physicians, emergency room staff, and other public and mental health leaders to determine how best to improve communication and coordination in these circumstances in an effort to reduce, and eventually eliminate the incidence of child deaths, and what have unfortunately become communitywide tragedies across our great state. I am committed to do better by our kids, and together, we will.
John Gregg, Democratic candidate for governor

Marion County deputies had their hands full with a donkey that was found walking down the road after a storm on Saturday.
While one deputy tried to find the donkey's owners, the other started feeding the donkey carrots from inside his patrol car.
When the carrots ran out, the donkey wasn't happy. Clearly still hungry, the animal proceeded to throw a temper tantrum and kick off the side mirror.
Animal control officers were brought in after deputies grew tired of his asinine antics.

The ride from Marysville to Seattle was fairly easy. Then 2 buses jacknifed in front of us at 5th and Washington. Had to get off and catch a different bus to work. Then saw that Olive Way at the bus tunnel entrance was solid with buses for several blocks. Hopefully I can get home.

EA seem to be taking the next title in their successful but lauded/loved Dragon Age series by not only delaying its launch, but also looking towards next gen consoles for its release.
"Scope of the DAIII has been chaged [sic], which will target next gen platform [sic] and will be postpone [sic] to 2014." This quote is from an EA Shanghai level designer and posted on his LinkedIn page. The delay is interesting, but that line about "next gen" really intrigues me more! Before we all collectively think that means the PS4/Xbox 720 are in lines for a Dragon Age at launch, it very well could mean the WiiU is getting Dragon Age III. I mean, it is a next gen console, even if it doesn't look it!
Of course, we shouldn't rule out Dragon Age III: Inquisition as being a launch game for the next Sony and Microsoft consoles, but if industry rumors are to be believed, their new consoles are expected in 2013, not 2014, so it might not make launch day… But launch window is a possibility.
It'll be interesting to see how EA handles this, especially since a lot of fans of Dragon Age were slightly burned (no pun intended) by DA II's quick turnaround launch.
Be sure to stick with Front Towards Gamer as we'll be following this story as it develops and the months go by!

Eurodam Cruise Review by delgados129: Overall Great Value
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Eurodam Eastern Caribbean Cruises
Overall Great Value
* First time on Holland America.
* Will probably cruise with them again.
* The medium sized ship was not crowded. Passenger to staff ratio was very good.
* Food was very good to outstanding: Very good in main dinning/buffet...Excellent in Tamarind and Pinnacle Grill. Wine selections were a bit pricey (purchased wine almost every night) but provided high quality and value.
* Nice upgrade on accommodations after booking though Costco.
* Staff service was excellent...they're very proud of their craft.
* The classical music and solo guitar entertainment were fantastic...made for a very classy/sophisticated experience.
* The Mainstage shows were very good along with the professional magician who was very entertaining and really engaged the audience. I would recommend music selections be updated a bit with classy Motown selections (Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, etc.) and include more improvisations when using the onstage band. This is More obviously not possible with performances that use as soundtrack.
*Ports of call were OK. Docking at Crown Bay in Virgin Islands was a bit of a hassle to get to the main part of town. We opted instead to ferry to Water Island and spend a day on Honeymoon beach.
*Overall, we felt like we got an excellent value for our cruise dollars; meals, service, accommodations and all. Less

Cabin review: VA6002 Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom
Nice, very comfortable cabin. Plenty of closet space. A bit tricky learnign how to work the motorized curtains...the button that operates them are all the way on the other side of the bed and their not marked. From a design perspective, you would expect them to be in close proximity to the curtains. TV could have a better selection of programming for news outlets...no business news like Bloomberg, CNBC or Fox Business network. While at sea, we caught up on a few movies with the free DVD rentals.

Rick Hendrick is a familiar face at Barrett-Jackson auctions and with good reason: Not only is Hendrick the founder and owner of the Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR Sprint Cup team, but he's also the nation's largest Chevrolet dealer.
And in recent years, Hendrick has become an avid collector, too, specializing in Corvettes and General Motors muscle cars. Recall that earlier this year at two other Barrett-Jackson auctions, Hendrick paid $1 million each for the right to purchase the first production 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 coupe and convertible.Auction, Barrett-Jackson, Cars, Corvette

|Beneficial effects of exercising at moderate altitude on red cell oxygen transport and on exercise performance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 3714457 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The effect of a ascent to moderate altitude (2,300 m) and altitude training on the O2-transport properties of Hb and their possible consequences on tissue oxygenation during exercise were studied on six control and six training subjects. A rapid increase in P-50 values (+2.4 mm Hg, 0.32 kPa) was measured within one day after ascent. At the end of the stay at altitude (13th day) P-50 values were higher in subjects performing training than in controls. At altitude a slow but constant increase in 2,3-DPG, pyruvate kinase activity and reticulocyte count was found, which was more pronounced in training subjects as compared to controls. Ascent to altitude resulted in a decreased maximal performance capacity (-9%), but both groups recovered during the stay. In training subjects maximal exercise performance was increased after descent. Exercise at altitude was performed at a lower heart rate (controls: -10/min; training: -18/min) and at a lower lactate concentration (-4 mmol/l). These data indicate a positive effect of adaptation to altitude on exercise performance. Training itself shifts the ODC to the right and adds this effect to the effects of passive altitude adaptation on the O2-binding properties of hemoglobin.

Welcome to montserratvolcano.org
This website is neither created nor owned by the residents of Montserrat but I hope that they will treat it as their property and help me develop it in whatever way they wish. Montserrat has been greatly troubled and partly laid waste by an erupting volcano for more than a decade. This was peaceful (apart from occasional relatively small explosions) from early 2007 until just before the date when I was planning to publish the website (29 July 2008). During the previous night major new eruptive activity took place and the circumstances surrounding this are detailed on the MVO website, together with photos of both the 28 July deposits and their Gages Vent source, at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvo/. Since then lava extrusion started, stopped and started again at Gages Vent. In addition, another vent opened on the NW side of the lava dome in early September 2008 and this produced some violent explosions (without any warning) on 3 January 2009. Subsequently, the eruption paused again and the report of the 12th meeting of the international Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) at MVO in March 2009 suggested that further short (few weeks) periods of lava extrusion and sudden explosions might occur during the coming year. As the main extrusion vent had moved in December 2008 towards its "traditional" site atop the dome, the SAC considered that the risk had increased slightly of a future major dome collapse and/or explosion sending pyroclastic flows (PFs) into the Upper Belham Valley (via Tyer's Ghaut) and thus continuing to enlarge and smooth the growing debris fan there. Such debris fans make it easier for future PFs perhaps to reach the Lower Belham Valley -- a process seen earlier in the eruption, during the burial of Plymouth by PFs.
The volcano was clearly listening intently to the SAC in March 2009 and has since done precisely what they forecast! It remained peaceful through the summer and allowed Montserratians to concentrate on the excitement and outcome of a General Election in September. Then it re-awakened abruptly on 4 October, after giving only about three days of warnings (increased earthquake numbers and an abrupt drop in the amounts of SO2 emitted from the volcano). Explosions between 4 and 7 October sent ash plumes up to about 6000 metres. By 9 October a new lava dome could be seen growing on the summit of the previous one (the one that has failed to collapse wholesale since it formed in 2006-7, despite earlier "near certain" forecasts that it would do so). Between early October 2009 and mid-February 2010 the volcano really showed its teeth. Rapid lava extrusion increased both the height and volume of the dome to the largest yet seen. Several very large explosions, with little or no obvious warning, sent PFs into new places, such as the seaward ends of Aymers and Gingoes Ghauts. On 10 December a PF reached to below the western end of Lees village and triggered an NDPRAC decision to evacuate Zone B (see MVO website for the acronyms etc). On 8 January a PF generated by another very large and unannounced explosion travelled about 6 km down the Belham Valley – further than ever before during the long eruption and reaching to within about 500 m (as flown by a terrified chicken!) of houses occupied until shortly before the evacuation.
After very rapid further growth in early February, about 20% of the dome collapsed (accompanied by huge explosions), feeding about 40-50 m3 of material ranging from fine ash to house-sized blocks in to a series of PFs that inundated the entire NE slopes of the volcano. Some of the PF material also came down the Belham Valley, to the NW, and stopped only about 1 km away from the evacuated areas. Since then the volcano has reverted rapidly to its quiet-as-a-mouse behaviour and the residents have returned to their extremely dusty homes around the Lower Belham Valley. But for how long?
The eruption of Merapi, Indonesia, in 2010 has produced one of the few features of the long Montserrat eruption that has been lacking. This is a detailed digital photographic record of exactly what happened to buildings, livestock and people on 25 June 1997. The Merapi eruption began when the world's press were nearby, drawn by a terrible tsunami. Top photographers therefore rushed to this volcano and dozens of both top-quality and very harrowing photos have appeared on the internet. I've therefore taken the opportunity to add another topic to this website, containing some of the Merapi images most relevant to Montserrat. This relevance will only cease when there is no longer any threat of a pyroclastic surge overrunning the Salem-Olveston area.
There is of course an excellent and comprehensive, recently redesigned, official Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO) website [http://www.mvo.ms/] and you may think; "Why another one?" Just take a quick look at this one and decide for yourself if it is helpful to you. Whatever you decide, please let me know. This website is designed to be read with Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page] open at the same time on your computer. Whenever you find a word or phrase that needs more explanation, just type it into the search line of Wikipedia and read more about it there. For those of you who would like to see an overall account of the eruption at a more detailed and "scientific" level than this site, but less than MVO or the research literature, try Richard Roscoe.
I start with a short account of the most obvious thing – why is there a volcano on Montserrat? Most of you "know" the answer to this question but are split between two entirely different viewpoints. For some, it is part of God's creation and that's all there is to it. Others prefer the explanations worked out by scientists and this is the approach that I shall take here. Nevertheless, it's essential to say at the outset that only this first theme will be seen differently by different residents. The following themes will be designed to be equally useful to all of you, by discussing practical matters about the eruption and its threats. Even strongly religious people may find that the following material about volcanic magma and lava domes is interesting.

The Kanawha County Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation into the shooting death of a ten year old female on Pentacre Road near Quick, WV, yesterday evening (December 22, 2013). When all evidence, statements, and reports are completed the sum will be given to the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney of Kanawha County for review. That office will determine whether or not to pursue criminal charges in the matter. The shooting is still viewed as an accidental event.
Among the several questions posed to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office today was one on the nature of the relationship between the involved nine year old boy and ten year old girl. They were friends and were not relatives. They were visiting the residence of a family member of the nine year old male.
No additional information on the incident will be released this date. When more information is available another press release will be distributed.

I have been asked by my good friend Jho of Isshin Publishing to attend a charity event for KCat Yarza or Maria Kathrina Lopez Yarza, a blogger, artist and a writer. KCat is so many things and she calls herself "an able disable".
Kcat has Nuerofibromatosis Type2 (NF2), an inherited disease, which until now is left uncured for there is no therapy for the underlying disorder of cell function caused by the genetic mutation. Despite this, KCat is more than willing to help the best way that she can.
The event was held in Malen's Restaurant in Noveleta, Cavite and each ticket (P400) gets you a book from Isshin Publishing and dinner Not bad, right? We were able to help both KCat, the kids and Isshin Publishing.
I was amazed with Jho for having such a heart to help people like KCat despite her, as she has said, "lack of finances" but I was more amazed with KCat's optimism.
May is KCat's birthmonth and her annual wish is to bring happiness to the kids in the PGH.
Want to be of help? See the details below:
MAY Birthday Project
Annual gift-giving at PGH
We will be holding it on May 12 – Saturday, a day before my actual birthday at Philippine General Hospital and make the sick patients of Pedia Wards (there are 2), Neurosurgery Wards(w/ spine) and Pedia ICU – all these are charity wards. And hopefully, we can also make the children of Pedia Cancer ward smile this year.
I need your help once again by give me a birthday gift/s from my wishlist:
Diapers (for kids and adults)
and other toiletries & necessities that you can think of
Toys (preferably new)
Monetary donations are very much welcome since we'll be buying foods and other goodies to make this event extra fun!
Having been confined in the hospital a number of times, I know that these toiletries are really of use to these patients. So that Instead of using whatever money they have come up with to buy those things, we're are going to gift it to them instead; with foods of course! And because it's boring to just stay in the hospital bed, we're gonna give the kids something to play with.
MAY Birthday Project has been going on for 6 years now and I'm really happy to know, feel & see that we have given them care, happiness, strength, hope & also inspiration. It's an achievement indeed!
Please help me make this event a success once again by sharing and donating. If you wish to be part of MAY Birthday Project this 2012, please get in touch with my mom, Madge Yarza, at 09272459400 for donations and queries. Deadline of donations will be on May 4 (Friday), since we will have to repack and prepare everything before the event.

Much like Manchester United this season, Spurs have found it difficult against the top four but otherwise been excellent.
They've won 14 and lost only one of their last 17 games excluding the current top four. Moreover, since the start of last season Spurs have won 12 of their 19 trips to bottom-half teams including a 3-2 success here last season.
West Ham have taken just one point from their last seven home games against top-six teams and look to already be safe with enough teams between them and the drop zone. 10 of their last 16 home matches have had at least three goals as have nine of their last 10 home games against top-six sides.
Spurs look decent value to win here at 5/6 but we'd expect West Ham to score and Over 2.5 Goals also looks a good bet at 4/6.
Bet on the match with Betfred now!

Dane Marlow and Sam Haynes understand the importance of recycling. The students at Waterloo Elementary School are members of the Green Team, which is a group of five students who help their peers recycle.
"We recycle every Tuesday," said Dane, a 10-yearold fourth-grader. " We take everything from batteries, markers, pens, water bottles and candy wrappers." The school's effort to collect scraps and used goods helped it earn a Monroe County Green School designation.
All 19 Monroe County schools to earn the title were honored Saturday as part of the annual Earth Day Expo, which took place at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.
Jamie Dean, recycling and green community program coordinator for the county, said this was the first year the expo was held indoors, which allowed for special demonstrations, including a children's yoga class.
"The event keeps growing," Ms. Dean said. " We have 65 exhibitors this year, and we are able to do new programs like the sidewalk chalk, yoga and tai chi."
The growth of the Green Schools program helps to promote the message of the expo, as well.
"Kids learn about recycling at school, and they take that message home," Ms. Dean said. " We hope this raises their awareness."
Exhibitors had a variety of children's activities, including face-painting and planting flower or vegetable seeds. The Monroe County Library System hosted two story times for kids.
This year's theme was "Monroe — Celebrate, Discover, Learn." Booths featured environmentally themed displays and activities promoting recycling, composting, gardening, preservation and more.
Outlining the back walkway were the butterfly sculptures created by schools using recycled materials.
Yoga teacher Diane Ausmus teaches classes throughout the community, including at schools, libraries and Mindful Movements. She hosted a 45-minute class for kids to help them focus on their breath.
" Yoga helps kids to slow down and think about what they are doing," Mrs. Ausmus explained. " Today things are so rushed. There are a lot of pressures with school. It can be stressful."
Her class focused on taking a few minutes to just breathe and relax.
She also incorporates ideas of eating organically and consuming more fruits and vegetables.
Mrs. Ausmus used poses like "butterfly" and "tree" to talk to students about Earth.
Sam, a fifth-grader at Waterloo, said recycling helps to keep the air fresh.
"It's important for us to recycle so when we get older, (Earth) is a better place," he said. "It makes you a good person."

EMC Hammered
EMC Corp. (NYSE: EMC) today confirmed its earlier forecast of abysmally lower earnings. The key culprit was the sagging economy and cutbacks in information technology spending. But although officials downplayed the issue, rising competition in the high-end storage market from the likes of IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) and Hitachi Ltd. (NYSE: HIT; Paris: PHA) also played a role, slashing gross profit margins (see EMC Profits Fall 75%).
For the quarter ending June 30, EMC earned $109 million, matching its earlier lowered guidance of 5 cents a share, on $2 billion in revenues. Prior to EMCs July 6 disclosure, the consensus expectation of analysts was 17 cents a share.
For the quarter a year ago, EMC earned $429 million, or 20 cents a share, on $2.1 billion revenues. Gross profit margins plunged from 58 percent a year ago to 47 percent.
Perhaps most discouraging to the forward-looking financial community was EMCs inability to predict when business would bounce back. Q3 looks worse economically than the current quarter, said CFO Bill Teuber in a Wednesday morning conference call with analysts. We cant say anything definitive about revenue or gross margins for Q3.
There appears to be more than the economy at play in the cloudy forecast. For the past several years, EMC has been the undisputed leader in storage for large corporations. But cracks have been showing through EMCs armor as IBM and Hitachi are making more noise. Analysts say rising competitive pressure has forced EMC to cut pricing to as low as 4 cents per megabyte on select deals. That compares with first-quarter sales of around 10 cents per megabyte.

|Diesel vs Petrol school runs in Midi MPV? - RufusA
I know the normal arguements about Diesel vs Petrol. i.e. Diesel will give better economy, torque is useful and it will pay for itself if you do more than 15k / year.
We are looking at a Midi MPV, and having test driven a few (Mazda5, Verso etc.) the Diesel engines seem to suit my wife's driving style / car weight better (low end grunt, meaning less gear changes in stop/start traffic, and plenty of torque for motorway overtaking).
The concern I have is that 95%+ of her journeys are going to be short ones, less than 5 miles from a cold start, plenty of it stop / start traffic.
What would the real world fuel economy of a Diesel engine vs Petrol from a cold start over a short distance be (I presume the Petrol would warm up quicker)?
I've also heard a number of horror stories of particulate filters clogging and severe fuel dilution of oil after only 3k when a car has been subjected to such short journey abuse.
Should I be concerned?
Is a modern Diesel still a sensible(ish) choice for a school run car?
TIA - Rufus.
