Is toilet training your youngster much more challenging than you expected? Is your child uninterested? Does sh...e keep having accidents because she doesn't want to stop playing to go to the toilet? Does he always say no when you ask "Do you have to go peepee (or poop)?"
Or maybe your child is peepee trained but doesn't want to poop in the toilet? Is he having constipation because of all this? Are you worried that your child won't be able to go to preschool or maybe even to Kindergarten because he's not toilet trained? Is your youngster holding in her poop for days, doesn't want to eat and is frightened when the poop gets so big, it has to come out?
In this book, there are two stores for preschoolers - one on peeing and one on pooping - and a guidance section for parents. The first story is Going Peepee. Katie's parents say it's time to start going peepee in the toilet, but Katie doesn't want to stop playing to go. She has lots of accidents. With creative guidance from her parents, Katie starts to see all the advantages and decides she will go peepee every time in the toilet.
In the second story, Going Poop, Ben doesn't like pooping in the toilet. He doesn't like the way his poop feels coming out. He figures that he can tighten his bottom every time and hopes to never have a poop again. But when it has to come out, he gets scared. His parents help him become brave enough to overcome his reluctance and be successful.
The parents' section provides expert guidance on when and how to toilet-train your preschooler. It explains what is the child's view on toilet training. Learn the most age-appropriate tools to motivate youngsters who are uninterested, reluctant, and fearful. Specific advice shows parents how to help children with frequent peeing accidents and children who are resistant and afraid of pooping in the toilet. This manual will clear up conflicting advice, and teach you the skills to guide reluctant youngsters toward toileting success. The parents' section captures the common issues that children have. This book is comprehensive - covering every toileting issue in step-by-step detail. Examples from other families will show how their youngsters became toilet trained including the five year old who said when she grew up her house wouldn't have any toilets. Read More

Here is a book of classroom practice influenced by the late Paulo Freire, who urged educators to teach critically from the bott...om up against the myths and inequities imposed from the top down. In a Freirean approach, critical teaching means inviting students to examine all subject matters in depth, not to swallow facts passively. Critical teaching asks students to question the status quo, to connect academic learning to their personal context and the larger social context. To Freire, critical thinking was a social inquiry into the historical and personal meaning of any knowledge. Thus, in memory of Paulo Freire, the essays in this collection report critical practices by teachers committed to transformation in and beyond the classroom.
These teachers' ingenuity produced cross-cultural stories of what can be done with some risk and experimentation. Perhaps most of all, they show culturally diverse educators constructively taking sides and refusing to fit students or themselves quietly into the status quo. Honoring the legacy of Paulo Freire, these teacher-authors carry forward Freire's dream of making the world less cruel, and transforming education into cultural action for freedom, bringing the future to life in what we do today.

"Talking the process of change and teaching is a necessity for our intellectual and social well-being," says acclaimed author Regi...e Routman. Now, in this long-awaited volume, Routman continues the discussion she began in the best-selling Invitations and further explores the full universe of an effective language arts and literacy program across the curriculum. Filled with an array of field-tested teaching ideas, detailed strategies, reviews of theory, teacher-crafted lessons, and lists of resources, Conversations is all you need to become an informed, confident professional, sensitive to your students' needs and interests. What's more, it incorporates Routman's perspective on important topical issues such as curricular rigor, direct teaching, specific skills, and daily monitoring.
 Conversations is grounded in the belief that the connections, interactions, reflections, and new thinking that evolve from rich dialogue define what we know. It was written, in part, to spur teachers to challenge assumptions, clarify their own learning, and take the lead in their own professional development. While this is not a book about a particular methodology, Routman does explore current theory and practice, and supports her views with classroom-based and scientific research. The book is upbeat and practical; each chapter is self-contained and can be read in any order. As Routman shares her own experiences and resources - through narratives, anecdotes, step-by-step demonstrations, and examples of students' work - we may find ourselves questioning, modifying, validating, or changing our own practices. Most of all, we will find ourselves talking. And here is where the conversation begins.

Thanks to Connie Weaver, generations of teachers have come to understand that the most efficient way to teach grammar that's re...levant for writing is to embed it within writing instruction. Now her Grammar Plan Book is designed with precisely one thing in mind: to be the best resource you've ever used for teaching grammar to strengthen writing. This new book helps you apply a limited amount of grammar instruction directly to writing and enables you to map out instruction in the way that best serves the needs of your students.

A complete planning tool, The Grammar Plan Book has two complementary parts. Part One describes an overarching framework for high-quality grammar instruction in conjunction with the process of writing. It offers:

engaging examples of effective teaching

demonstrations of how that teaching has improved students' use of grammatical options in writing

suggestions for deciding which editing conventions to teach

an informal analysis of the grammatical content of typical ACT practice exams.

The Plan Book also contains ideas for encouraging students to make independent use of what they've learned in their own writing and about how to apply grammatical insights to enhance and improve their writing, from adding details to editing appropriately.
 Then in Part Two, Weaver presents an exceptional tool for preparing to teach grammar related to improving writing: a minimal grammar handbook for teachers that doubles as a lesson planner. Everything you need to know to teach major grammatical options, stylistic features, and conventions is included:

basic grammatical functions within the sentence

grammatical options for adding details and sentence fluency

connectors (transitions) for organizational flow

parallelism and other rhetorical devices for emphasis and effect, style, and voice

stylistic options (dialect versus ?standard?) for different audiences and purposes

conventions most important for edited American English

"rules" that don't necessarily rule effective published writing.

 With a designated column for your notes, special lay-flat binding for your convenience, and helpful, comprehensive coverage of important grammatical concepts, The Grammar Plan Book is designed with one thing in mind: to be the best resource you've ever used for teaching grammar to strengthen writing.

Get the whole story on teaching narra...tive writing

"Narrative can foster a new understanding of self and others, and help people solve real problems together. In short narrative empowers people. This makes it vitally important to helping students become 'college and career ready.'"
 -James Fredricksen, Michael Smith, and Jeffrey Wilhelm

While Common Core standards on argument and nonfiction have gotten the lion's share of attention, the anchor standard for narrative writing has been overlooked. Not anymore, thanks to So, What's the Story?

"Write narratives," states the Common Core, "to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences." In So, What's the Story? James Fredricksen, Michael Smith, and Jeffrey Wilhelm share lessons and unit frameworks on narrative writing that help students not only meet the standards, but do important real-world work. "Narrative is about much more than the form of a story, identifying a protagonist, or naming its climax," they write, "it's about doing functional work not only in the classroom and school, but in the community and the world."

With ideas for teaching autobiography, narrative nonfiction, imaginary narratives, and narratives that employ both words and images, So, What's the Story? provides practitioners with ways to help students make the leap from composing stories to understanding how stories and narrative concepts can help them to identify, critique, and change how their world works.

"Narrative writing empowers individuals as they negotiate the day-to-day experience of their lives," write Fredricksen, Smith, and Wilhelm, "but an understanding of narrative is essential for people in a whole host of careers and professions." Use So, What's the Story? and ensure that the story of your writers doesn't end with meeting the standard, but with a lifetime of problem solving with story.

Definitions for solsticeˈsɒl stɪs, ˈsoʊl-
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word solstice
Princeton's WordNet
either of the two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator
One of the two points in the ecliptic at which the sun is furthest from the celestial equator. This corresponds to one of two days in the year when the day is either longest or shortest.
Origin: From solstitium, from sol + stitium (as in English solar and resist), from sisto, both from roots.
Webster Dictionary
a stopping or standing still of the sun
the point in the ecliptic at which the sun is farthest from the equator, north or south, namely, the first point of the sign Cancer and the first point of the sign Capricorn, the former being the summer solstice, latter the winter solstice, in northern latitudes; -- so called because the sun then apparently stands still in its northward or southward motion
the time of the sun's passing the solstices, or solstitial points, namely, about June 21 and December 21. See Illust. in Appendix
Origin: [L. solstitium; sol the sun + sistere to cause to stand, akin to stare to stand: cf. F. solstice. See Solar, a., Stand, v. i.]
A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. As a result, on the day of the solstice, the Sun appears to have reached its highest or lowest annual altitude in the sky above the horizon at local solar noon. The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol and sistere, because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's path comes to a stop before reversing direction. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In many cultures the solstices mark either the beginning or the midpoint of winter and summer. The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense, as the date when this occurs. The day of the solstice is either the longest day of the year or the shortest day of the year for any place outside of the tropics.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
summer and winter, the two recurring periods of the year at which the sun is farthest distant N. or S. from the equator, which mark midsummer and midwinter, the times being the 21st of June and 22nd of December; also applied to the two points in the ecliptic (q. v.), which the sun appears to reach on these two dates.

Dividend Yields For S&P 500 Will Rise [View article]

Dividend Yields For S&P 500 Will Rise [View article]
Thank you,
However, you did not read the article carefully enough--or thoroughly enough:
1: The ages of 65+ or over are going to increase.
2: The S&P in going to increase so that income investors will be rewarded. The dividend yield to earning yield ratio is 32.4% today and the average 1942 to today in 47.8%.
3: Bond yields are going to collapse.
4: Equity yields will be the bond yields in the next 5 to 10 years.
The dividend yield was below the earning yield before the WWI and the Great Depreciation--not actual the events.
The bond dividend yields (quantitative easing) is below the equity yield. Your argument does seem to matter, if quantitative has run its course .

There are two things that cause me concern:

2. The Detroit bonds "bomb shells" that all government bonds will be treated as general obligation.
However, there are some unleveraged muni bonds: NIM, MTT and MHF.

The S&P 500 has provided an upward bias since Sept 2009.
Both SDY and DVY may have conveyed and "upside" bias during that periods. This is why we have developed a trough (Sept 2009 and Oct 2011) to judge the gains from July, 17, 2013.
Certainly, dividends and long-term capital gains are distinct. However, the long-term capital gains are 15% and the dividends rates are 15%. This is just a fact.
It is this upward bias has long-term capital gains success over distributions. If this upside bias trend does take place, dividends can deliver the "upside" in a "down" markets.

DG Ruralist,
Stocks of the "Dividend Portfolio" were already allocated along with distributions. The initial portfolio manager was not an issue.
What I was trying to do is compare it to the cyclical trough (9/09 and 10/11).
When I looked at the "Sept 2009 trough" the Portfolio clearly posted a winner and outpaced SDY by large cumulative margin (146% by 106%, respective.) However, much of the gained was with KFN (1,155% gain and a weight gain of 46%).
On the "October 2011 trough", the weighted Portfolio gain was 18.6% and SDY was 30.7%.
If you were to take the distributions of 1.5% (Portfolio's 5.0% less SDY's 3.5% = 1.5%) for two year's (1.5% X 2 = 3.0%) and subtract it from the SDY less the two year portfolio and then subtracting it by the Portfolio (30.7% - 3.0% = 27.7% - 18.6% = 9.1%) you would have gained a 9.1% by investing in SDY.
Capital gains are the same thing as dividend income because capital gains (long-term) and income are 15% (less than $400,000 a year ($450,000 if married).
Dividend rates for O and NLY are "pass though" and get tax at a high rate.

powered by AFI
According to news items in Daily Variety this film was in preparation for more than a year when it began production on July 16, 1934, and was partially filmed on location in Yuma, AR. The Technicolor "Ice Cream Fantasy," sequence which, according to news items was the last sequence of the picture filmed, was the first Goldwyn venture into color films. The song "Mandy" was originally written by Iirving Berlin for his 1918 Broadway musical play Yip Yip Yaphank. The song subsequently became one of Eddie Cantor's trademark numbers on stage and on the radio. The film marked the screen debuts of the vaudeville comedy team of Eve Sully and Jesse Block. Kid Millions marked the feature film debut of George Murphy. Modern sources note that Doris Davenport, who portrayed "Toots" in the film, also appeared in one production number as a "Goldwyn Girl" before being cast as the ingenue, and Paulette Goddard appeared as an extra in the film.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida on Tuesday said that he will either run for re-election or run for president in 2016 – as the law in his home state requires.
Mr. Rubio said on the Hugh Hewitt radio show that he would make a decision in about one year.
"I'll either have to run for re-election or not run for anything or run for another office," he said. "You can't be on the ballot for two different offices, and I think it's the right law."
Mr. Rubio's support for the law contrasts with the position taken one of his potential rivals in 2016, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. Mr. Paul backed a bill that passed the state Senate in March that would allow him to run for two federal offices at the same time. It hasn't passed the Democratic-led House.

Bill Clinton is one cool, hip cat. The 42nd President of the United States is the latest bold-faced name to hop onto the "Blurred Lines" bandwagon, courtesy of YouTube channel BarackDubs.
In a hilarious video that has already gone viral online since its debut on Tuesday, July 23, a number of the politician's speeches are stitched together so that he appears to be "singing" the risque lines of Robin Thicke's catchy summer hit.
PHOTOS: President Obama's A-list pals
Lyrics from Thicke's controversial ditty include "you're a good girl" and "I know you want it."
The video also features cameos by Barack Obama (who lends his impressive vocals at one point in the song), Michelle Obama, and Joe Biden. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Monica Lewinsky appear in the clip.
Also worth noting: the video was released on Lewinsky's 40th birthday, in what is perhaps an additional tongue-in-cheek nod to the political sex scandal that rocked the nation back in 1998.
PHOTOS: Celebrities' political affiliations
BarackDub has previously released videos of President Obama "singing" other popular hits, including Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," and more recently, Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."

GET: Groupe Eurotunnel SA: Eurotunnel launches ETICA to help develop intermodal rail freight UK Regulatory Announcement PARIS Eurotunnel (Paris:GET) considers that one of its principal missions is to develop railway traffic between the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Having introduced several previous measures (Open Access, European Interoperability Standards – TSI), Eurotunnel is launching ETICA^1 (Eurotunnel Incentive for Capacity Additions), a system of financial support for railway operators launching new intermodal rail freight services through the Channel Tunnel. The difficulty with opening new services through the Channel Tunnel is not, contrary to some views, due to the level of access charges, which are very competitive^2, but to the marketing and service start-up costs and the controls at Frethun. The ETICA mechanism, which will be available to all railway operators, will provide a one off financial support for start-up investments, for 1 year. The ETICA mechanism, which will be fully funded by Eurotunnel, with no public subsidy, is based on the Marco Polo aid system, conforms to European Directives and does not change the access charges set out in the Network Statement. Eurotunnel believes that its intrinsic strengths of efficiency and respect for the environment mean there is potential to further develop rail freight through the Tunnel. Eurotunnel Press Contact: For media enquiries contact John Keefe Consultant on + 44 (0) 1303 284491 Email: email@example.com For investor enquiries contact Michael Schuller on +44 (0) 1303 288749 Email: email@example.com ^1 Document available at www.eurotunnelgroup.com ^2 The access charge for a full freight train (750 meters and 1,800t for a weeknight crossing at 120 kph) through the Channel Tunnel is approximately €100 per 40 foot container.

I like to sew with linen & cotton thread, but one of the things that's bothering me is seam puckering. I pre-wash my fabric, but after spending more hours than I'll ever admit to hand stitching seams, I'm saddened by thread shrinkage which creates puckers. Does anyone know how to pre-shrink thread without creating little knot-nests?
A couple of years ago I went to a very nice new local yarn and was surprised to see an elaborate wood 'hank' winder. I would suppose you could employ that concept.
Start with an extra wide piece of something that can act as a base to the thread hank. Carefully wrap with a loosely woven piece of fabric to gently hold the threads in order when you preshrink. -- Edited on 9/9/12 12:00 PM --
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Also check, the Oregon Woodworker, YarnSwifts.com.
And Swift Yarn Winder on Overstock.com.
And, consider putting the question in the knitting and crocheting section if you don't get responses here. That group will have seen more products for winding skeins.
I didn't read all of 7yearstitch's post but it reminded me of something. I used to spin yarn. The yarn in formed into hanks. You could do this with the thread on a small scale and then steam it.
If you are interested in further info from me about this, let me know.
It makes me wonder why you like working with linen and cotton thread if it's causing problems like puckering. Would a blend perhaps solve this for you?
------Please excuse any typos, ipad keyboards are hard for me.
Are you using a commercially produced cotton or linen? Most threads are mercerized, so most all of it is pre-shrunk. Are you winding your bobbin too tightly? This can cause it to stretch, then when you wash it, it shrinks back to its relaxed state causing puckers, but this is more common with poly threads. I have used cotton thread some, but really have decided I like Metrosene by Mettler much better. I have a lot fewer problems with it than any other brand.
------Sewing in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia
Sewing Room Pics:
Winding your bobbin to fast will cause it to stretch and then pull back once it is stitched and can relax. FWIW, your part synthetic threads will be much sturdier and longer lasting. Cotton thread is usually not recommended for general garment sewing as it can rot before the garment has seen its full wear. I'm talking general sewing here. There are certainly exceptions.
Sandra Betzina recommends cutting garments of poly charmeuse, notorious for showing these puckers, on the cross grain. I have tried it and it works.
am i over-simplifying by suggesting you submerge the entire spool of thread into hot water and letting it air dry?
Louise Cutting convinced me years ago that Mettler Silk-finish cotton was THE thread to use for smooth seams and non-puckery topstitching, and now I use it for everything except poly or nylon knits. Her explanation was that the polyester thread had just enough stretch in it that the machine would stretch it as it was being sewn into the garment, but that the tension would then relax and create puckers in the finished seam. If you're using a good quality cotton thread like Mettler, then I'd begin to suspect that the stitch tension -both upper and lower - need to be fiddled with.

Thomas S Worthington, Attorney
In his 37 years of criminal trial practice, Mr. Worthington has successfully represented thousands of people in the State and Federal courts throughout California and several other states, including Georgia, Arizona and Washington. He has been the chief trial lawyer in over 100 jury trials from simple misdemeanor DUI to capital murder almost all of which have resulted in acquittals or reduction to lesser offenses. He has argued cases before several districts of the California Court of Appeal and the United States Circuit Court, 9th Circuit.
Mr. Worthington has been Certified as a Specialist in Criminal Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization since 1977. In California there are only 355 attorneys with this distinction. He has been elected by his peers for the past 21 years as one of The Best Lawyers in America in the areas of Non-White-Collar Criminal Defense and White-Collar Criminal Defense. Mr. Worthington was chosen by his peers and identified in Northern California Super Lawyers, 2006 edition.
Mr. Worthington graduated in 1969 from University of California Hastings College of Law--California's first law school--having previously graduated in 1966 from University of California Los Angeles with a degree in Economics. He was admitted to the California State Bar in January, 1970. He began his career in Monterey County that same year as a sole practitioner and has remained one of the top criminal defense lawyers in Monterey County since.
Mr. Worthington has had a long and distinguished legal career. He has been the attorney of record in many of the most controversial, complex and difficult cases to arise in Central California over the past four decades. He has had cases published by the California Court of Appeal and the United States Circuit Court, 9th Circuit; he has written articles published in the American Journal of Clinical and Experimental Psychiatry on the use and admissibility in evidence of hypnotically induced testimony and has participated in the preparation of Amicus briefs for California Attorneys for Criminal Justice and he is a frequent T.V. commentator.
As a young attorney in 1974, Mr. Worthington joined as a charter member a then new organization known as California Attorneys for Criminal Justice. CACJ is a statewide organization of criminal defense lawyers dedicated to defending the rights of persons as guaranteed by both the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of California. Since 1974, he has served terms on the Board of Directors totaling over 20 years and has sat on committees including Amicus, Legislative and Prisons. He is currently a member on the Board.
In addition to his career as a trial attorney, Mr. Worthington was appointed as a Commissioner on the City of Salinas Traffic Commission. He kept this appointment until 1997 when he moved his residence from the City of Salinas to the County of Monterey mandating he resign his commission. He taught economics at Hartnell College from 1971 to1979, teaching many of the returning Viet Nam veterans seeking an education under their veteran's benefits. Mr. Worthington is a guest lecturer at a trial practice class taught by Judge Steven Sillman and Deputy District Attorney Chuck Olvis at the Monterey College of Law.

Critical Lease Terms and Clauses

Release Date: 2012 |
Album Rating: 3.0DISCLAIMER: I know the summary & parts of this review are extremely cryptic & intelligent, so I better clarify that both myself & SputnikMusic do not condone gun use of any size.
Good review Davey. I've only heard song about you and long October but they weren't bad.
Digging: Ulvesang - Ulvesang
Album Rating: 3.0Thanks man. Both of those songs/singles sit about middle of the pack in terms of quality here.
People may think the review reads more like a 2.5, but there's enough good stuff here to warrant a 3. Unfortunately, there's a fair bit of filler which makes any higher rating impossible.
Cool I'll definitely check this out today.
Album Rating: 3.0I'm a bit surprised at all those high ratings so far actually... But it might just be the usual pre-release shenanigans.
Album Rating: 2.0ugh vocals
Digging: Vicious Embrace - The Heavens Tremble
So many recommended!
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah, that's definitely the main issue here HK. The thing is, he didn't sound as bad on the EPs, so I think the production may also be at fault to some extent.
Album Rating: 2.0yeah this is pretty poorly produced yeah. at first listen i was like ok this is aight, but then the teflon don lisp came out of me and i was all "this gahbage"
daveyboi have you heard MASKED INTRUDER?
Album Rating: 3.0It was probably the other way for me. On 1st listen, I was extremely meh about this... Didn't want to come back to it & didn't want to review it. But a few songs grew on me as time went on. I doubt many casual listeners will give it a 2nd or 3rd chance though.
Have I heard of "Masked Intruder"? Does he wrestle out of Parts Unknown?
"So many recommended!"
Yeah that's like Davey's trademark ha.
Album Rating: 3.0Don't forget the puns!
i've had a link for this in my inbox for ages but it's so mediocre it hurts
yes Davey, and the puns ;) .
I love the disclaimer.
Album Rating: 2.0yeah, I bet this sucks. I could make 12 recs in there too, Davey. :3
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffThis isn't bad. I feel like "Song About You" is the catchiest
not a very good band but don't bite your tongue had a few catchy songs. i heard "early retirement"
from this and hated it. prob won't be listening
Good review. Think i'm gonna check this out but with low expectations.

Each week I will write about the world of sports...
•Tiger Woods showed why he is the greatest golfer on the planet. After failing to make the cut at the British Open, and suffering through what he called one of his worst putting days ever (during the first round in Michigan), he took charge at the Buick Open. Tiger did not card a single bogey in the final round as he captured his 69th career PGA tournament title.
•There was excitement galore around the baseball trade deadline. The Red Sox made a great move adding Victor Martinez from Cleveland. Remember this, there was a price as Boston gave up a good, young pitcher in Justin Masterson. Martinez brings a solid bat, a switch-hitter who gives the Red Sox a steady player who can catch, play first, and bat as DH. All Martinez did Sunday was a five-hit performance! The move to bring in Casey Kotchman for Adam LaRoche also made sense. Kotchman can contribute off the bench, giving an extra option for Terry Francona.
•I also loved what the Tigers did in getting Jarrod Washburn from Seattle. Washburn has enjoyed a tremendous season so far, and now he adds depth to Jim Leyland's rotation, behind Justin Verlander and Edwin Jackson. Detroit was able to get an experienced pitcher with a sub-3.00 ERA this season...wow! The Tigers may have the upper hand on the White Sox and Twins in the competitive AL Central now.
•Two NL teams that really boosted their stock were the Phils and Cardinals. Cliff Lee enjoyed a terrific debut for the defending World Series champion Phillies. Matt Holliday has had a major impact in St. Louis, hitting over .600 in his first nine games with the Cardinals. Having a 1-2 punch of Albert Pujols and Holliday has to put a smile on the face of manager Tony LaRussa.
•NFL camps have opened up and there is optimism like crazy. Every team is 0-0 and feeling it has a shot to make noise this season. In Minnesota, once the Brett Favre soap opera situation was settled, the battle for the starting QB job opened up. Tavaris Jackson suffered an MCL sprain over the weekend, meaning Sage Rosenfels gets an early leg up in the competition. Stay tuned as this could go on for a while. With the likes of Adrian Peterson and Bernard Berrian, plus a talented offensive line, the winner of this position battle will have a lot going for him.
•The Tampa Bay Bucs have a new coach in Raheem Morris. Will he be like Mike Tomlin, another young guy who worked under Tony Dungy and turned out to be great? The problem is, Tampa Bay has a dilemma at quarterback. Will it be Byron Leftwich, Luke McCown or rookie Josh Freeman? Are those guys good enough to succeed?
•Michael Phelps was upset in one race at the world swimming championships. Did he sit back and pout? Nope, he went out and set a few more world records and won several races. My friends, he is a champion and one of the best ever to hit the pool. He is a special, special athlete!
