Azerbaijan: Investigate Brutal Attack on Journalist
(August 26, 2014) – The brutal attack on journalist Ilgar Nasibov in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan is an outrage, and Azerbaijan's authorities should ensure a prompt, effective, and impartial investigation, Front Line Defenders, Human Rights House Foundation, Norwegian Helsinki Committee, Rafto Foundation for Human Rights, People in Need, Human Rights Watch, Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, International Media Support, Article 19, and Reporters Without Borders said today.
The Azerbaijani authorities should ensure that the investigation into the assault is effective, thorough, and impartial, the organizations said. It should examine as a potential motive that the attack was connected to Nasibov's work as a journalist and human rights defender. The investigation should be capable of identifying and bringing to justice those responsible for this assault. The authorities should ensure that Nasibov gets immediate access to medical treatment as recommended by medical specialists.
On August 21, 2014, several unidentified people attacked Nasibov in the office of the Resource Center for Development of NGOs and Democracy in Nakhchivan, according to the center's director and Nasibov's wife, the Rafto Human Rights Laureate Malahat Nasibova. The attackers beat Nasibov unconscious and ransacked the office. Nasibov was seriously injured, including a concussion, broken cheekbones, nose, and ribs, and loss of vision in one eye. After Nasibov received essential first aid at a local hospital, Malahat Nasibova decided to move her husband home for security reasons.
International medical experts consulted by the group said that Nasibov had suffered trauma to his face, chest, and head and needs to be monitored closely to detect dangerous deterioration. The medical documentation and photos provided show that there is an urgent need for further intensive care from specialists who are not available in Nakhchivan.
Nasibova and her family have for years been subjected to physical and psychological pressure because of their human rights work. The Resource Center is the only independent group in Nakhchivan and is working on sensitive cases to restore justice to victims of human rights violations.
Among the cases the group has been involved with is the death of Turaj Zeynalov as a result of police torture. The Resource Center has filed a complaint under the European Convention on Human Rights against Azerbaijan regarding Zeynalov's treatment and death. In July the European Court of Human Rights relayed the case to the Azerbaijani authorities.
Malahat Nasibova and Ilgar Nasibov have received numerous anonymous threats in the past two years. Turan News Agency, to which Nasibov has regularly provided information, has also received threats from unknown people related to its coverage of Zeynalov's death.
This violent attack coincides with a new wave of government repression against civil society and takes place during Azerbaijan's chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. Leila Yunus and her husband Arif Yunus, Intigam Aliyev, and Rasul Jafarov – some of the country's most prominent activists involved in raising international awareness about human rights violations in Azerbaijan – have recently been put in pretrial detention on trumped-up charges. The office of the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS) was closed by law enforcement authorities and its staff is being interrogated, and several other groups have had to suspend their work or close altogether. Several human rights activists face travel bans, are in hiding, or have left the country out of fear for their security.
Front Line Defenders, Human Rights House Foundation, Norwegian Helsinki Committee, Rafto Foundation for Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, People in Need, Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, International Media Support, Article 19, and Reporters Without Borders call upon the Azerbaijani authorities to:
- Ensure a prompt, effective, impartial, and transparent investigation of the brutal attack on Ilgar Nasibov capable of bringing those responsible to justice;
- Ensure that Ilgar Nasibov is given access to medical expertise, including unobstructed passage to seek medical attention in Baku or abroad;
- Stop the ongoing persecution of human rights defenders, independent journalists, and media activists who operate within the rights guaranteed under the international treaties to which Azerbaijan is a party;
- Ensure that all human rights defenders are protected from violence and harassment, as Azerbaijan has undertaken to do as a party to multiple human rights treaties;
- Immediately and unconditionally release Leyla Yunus, Arif Yunus, Integam Aliyev, Rasul Jafarov, and all other human rights defenders jailed on spurious charges, and drop any such charges held against them.

Hello to everyone, im new to these boards, although i have been reading them for a while i have only recently signed up.
These are my views on the rams draft, and how free agency might affect some of the picks. Bear in mind however that i am British, so i havent seen a great amount of college football, although i have watched what i can and tried to keep up to date.
This i a fairly lengthy post, as i have gone through each position and looked at the draft and free agency.
In regards to safety, it appears that Haslett wants Archuleta back. I have no problems with this, although it definitely depends on if Arch is healthy, which he hasnt been for about two seasons now. The guy is a great pass rusher, he is good in run support, and his skills in coverage are quite underrated. He isnt a great cover guy, but he is capable enough. Also, we need Arch to resign basically because he is a leader in the secondary. He is probably the guy with most experience their at the moment, and if he gets back to his hard hitting ways, he can really get the rest of the secondary and defense pumped up. Another thing is Arch seems to have been restricted by the system he played in under Marmie. Marmie seemed to want to use Arch like your prototypical SS, which isnt the way to go about things. I can see Haslett coming up with a scheme which will ise Arch's talents to the fullest, instead of Marmie trying to change Arch into what he wasn't. Jerome Carter is nothing more then a backup right now, and Arch really needs to be resigned.
At free safety, we already have Atogwe and Furrey. Furrey showed some very good coverage skills last year, but his ability in run support was very obviously lacking. Atogwe seemed to have improved by the end of the season, however i feel he was held back quite alot by Martz, as Martz dropped Atogwe once he made a mistake in the first game of the year. This meant that Atogwe didn't even dress for a good five or so games at the start of the year. Hardly a way to get him to improve. Im all for bringing in a veteran to play FS, but the current prospects to be had in FA aren't great. Chris Hope is likely to be resigned, and he is the best of the bunch right now. Someone like Lance Shulters could be had to provide experience and leadership, but he won't really be making plays. I know that some people are against taking a FS in the first because we already have Atogwe and Furrey, but i think bringing in someone with very good coverage skills, who is also decent against the run and who can make plays will vastly improve the defense. I can see the Rams bringing in a guy like Micheal Huff or Jimmy Williams, and i have no objections to that, as it is likely that when we pick they might be the best available players.
I dont think bringing in a corner is a top priority right now. Butler, really came on in 2004, and it was a shame he missed 2005. Travis Fisher has missed a lot of time due to injury. But both of these guys are good enough in coverage and run support. Dejuan Groce showed some good coverage ability when he had playing time last year. There is also a lot of potential in Ron Bartell and Chris Johnson. There are guys like Charles Woodson and Ty Law in free agency, but these guys are most likely too expensive, and they are declining due to their age. If they came in, they wouldn't be like Aeneas Williams was when he joined the Rams. I think we are currently fine at corner. Yes a big time, young CB would be great on the rams. But there are currently none available, and the corner class isnt outstanding in the draft. Jimmy Williams is being projected as a safety by most, due to his more physical nature and lack of great top end speed. If Williams was to play corner, i think him being physical and his attitude may lead to him being a lot like Ahmed Carrol in Green Bay, a guy who gets penalised a lot and then arrested.
The problem with the draft in the secondary is that Williams and Huff are likely to go before the 11th pick, while the second goup of guys, for example Tye Hill and Darnell Bing, are going to be huge reaches at that spot. Unless a guy in the second group has a huge combine and moves up like Carlos Rodgers did last year, you can only expect Huff or Williams to be taken (if they fall to 11 that is). Also, you have to think that after taking DBs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds last year that it would be a waste of a pick to add another DB from these rounds. If secondary is going to be taken in the draft they have to be a first rounder, or not at all. Some people have the Rams taking Jonathan Joseph in the second round. I have to disagree with this, as the Rams took Ron Bartell last year, and there is no point adding another similar rookie.
The free agent and draft class for OLB is huge this year, and i think it would be good for the Rams to pick up a decent starter at OLB. You have guys like Akin Ayodele, Will Witherspoon, Cato June and even top tier guys like LaVar Arrington (possibly) and Julian Peterson as free agents, and it will be worthwhile for the rams to look into picking someone up to start opposite Pisa Tinoisamoa. Even though there are many good OLBs in the draft, because of the talent at the position in free agency its probably best for the rams to pick up a veteran. Although drafting an OLB in later rounds is not out of the question, the Rams already have guys like Dexter Coakley and Brandon Chillar who are more then capable backups. In the draft, Chad Greenway seems he will be available at 11, and he is a possibility. If AJ Hawk falls, he will be taken. However, the draft is deep at LB, so i don't know if the rams will want to take an LB in the first when a suitable possible starter can be taken in the second. There are other positions of need that need more addressing in the 1st round then LB at the moment, especially with the free agents available.
Im not sold on Claiborne at all really at MLB, although that may be because he wasn't on the field very often. To be honest, it doesnt matter if he stays or goes, i hope the rams draft an MLB, hopefully in the second round. Its been said that D'Qwell Jackson is the top prospect at MLB, and he will probably go late 1st/early 2nd round, which may lead to the Rams being able to pick up Abdul Hodge. If someone like Hodge was to come in and play well, he could start in the 4-3 at MLB, and it leaves Claiborne to come in alongside him in the 3-4. The free agents at MLB hardly appear to be outstanding in anyway.
As it stands, i would like to see the rams pick up a free agent OLB, and draft a MLB, preferably in the second round. My hopes is that the second round MLB will be a guy like Tinoisamoa, who slips under the radar but becomes a very good starter. Last year Odell Thurman and Lofa Tatupu were taken in the second round, and they pretty much lead their respective defenses. The Rams might get lucky with the FA class of OLBs. Because there is a large number of guys, the overall value of a FA OLB will be driven down. If Lavar Arrington and Julian Peterson both hit FA, you have to expect them to be the top of the group. But their value is going to be lower then you think because of Peterson's history of injuries and Arrington's attitude. This will mean that it is very possible for the rams to grab a decent starter who can make plays for below their normal market value.
Defensive Line
Il start by looking at the Defensive Tackles. Ryan Pickett as we all know is a free agent, and is coming off his best year as a pro. Now this seems to me that its one of thoses instances where a guy plays harder to get more money when FA hits. I thought that this was the case with Bryce Fisher, but Fisher went on to be a good starter in Seattle. The question is, can we really afford to give up our best DT, a guy who lead his position in tackles last year. I would prefer to have Pickett resigned, but not if he is asking for more then what he is worth. Yes he had a big year last year, but that was only one year. If you look at the seasons before that he has hardly stood out. However, it would pain me to let him go and have him be great for another team. It would be a shame to finally have one of the Rams 1st round DTs play well, but in another uniform. Pickett, being a NT, would also be able to play well in Haslett's 3-4. Now Pickett might be a bit undersized for a 3-4 NT, but i think he would make a good end in that alignment.
Damione Lewis, the guy taken ahead of not only Pickett, but Marcus Stroud and Kris Jenkins, is also a free agent. I don't really know if i would like for him to resign. If he is cheap he might provide decent enough cover. However, Jimmy Kennedy is still under contract, and Lewis really hasn't shown anything to justify him being kept around. Also, i think its time the rams looked into FA for a DT to play alongside Pickett. One guy the Rams surely have to look at in FA is Ma'ake Kemoeatu. The guy is a huge NT, and can play in a 3-4, as he did in Baltimore. Although not much of a pass rusher, the guy is a true run stuffer, and having him play in the 4-3 alongside Pickett would create a monster of an interior line. The only problem is Kemoeatu is being looked at by other 3-4 teams, most notably Cleveland. The Browns have a vast amount of cap room and would probably pay over the top to get him.
If you look at the Defensive Ends, you have to be happy with Leonard Little. The rams best defensive player, and often double teamed, he still finds ways to make plays. However, his production appears to have dropped off after the departure of Grant Wistrom, because the Rams have yet to find a guy to play opposite Little who can really make a difference. Because of the lack of a threat on the other side of the line, and not much push apart from Pickett in the middle, the opposition can afford to double team Little and/or just play of the LT towards the right end. Now Tony Hargrove has been an OK starter, but nothing much else. He has some good physical tools but i feel he is still a way away mentally. I would like to see the Rams go after a FA DE. Darren Howard is a possibility, and he might like the look of the Rams because of the familiar coaching staff. However he would have to come fairly cheaply. Howard is probably the best DE left in Free Agency. John Abraham was tagged, and i can't see the rams instigating a trade to get him. Raheem Brock and Kyle Vanden Bosch have already been resigned. I think the rams may look towards someone like Carlos Hall. Hall could have a lot of success playing opposite a guy like Little.
I don't see the Rams using a high pick on a Defensive Tackle or End. I don't think a first round DT will be taken because of the history, and the only one worth the 11th pick would be Haloti Ngata. He would fit well in a 3-4, but it is very unlikely he gets past Buffalo, and he could even end up in San Fran. If Mario Williams falls, he gets taken, no questions asked. He is the Julius Peppers of this draft class. However, its unlikely he will even get past Green Bay, let alone Oakland. Tamba Hali would need a good combine showing to move up to a position where the Rams could take him. You have to consider though that Haslett had a good history of picking Defensive Ends. Manny Lawson is an interesting prospect. He is a tweener between 3-4 OLB and 4-3 DE, which puts him in a Shawne Merrimen/DeMarcus Ware mould, and he will likely have his stock rise due to the combine. However this only means he won't be around for the Rams second round pick, but he can't possibly rise enough to be taken 11th.
Tight Ends
Brandon Manumaleuna is not currently under contract. But you will probably see him come back for cheap. He knows the system, and Linehan loves his TEs, but he also hasn't shown much for other teams to be really interested. Manu could easily be a good option in the passing game, the problem is we don't know as Martz didn't throw to the TE much. Roland Williams might be bought back to provide veteran leadership and experience.
You have to see the Rams drafting a TE somwhere in the first three rounds of the draft, especially considering the depth of the draft class at the position. Everyone is talking about taking Davis at 11. I don't know if i agree with this. Yes Davis is a great pass catching TE, however he is small for the position, and rarely ever had to block. He would be a good addition to the offense, but i feel the rams need a solid blocker as well as a good pass catcher at TE. Linehan will like him as a H-Back.
One guy i would love to see in horns is Leonard Pope. This is what he has said:
"Ah man, my height?" he asks, rhetorically, "The average linebacker I think is about 6-1 or something like that? If I'm 6-7 and me running down the field and it's a one-on-one, I'm going to make the play because of my height."
"Right now I'm satisfied with my weight at 258," he says. "But I'll tend to gain maybe 10 more pounds and still try to run like a 4.6 or 4.5."
He would be a great NFL TE, but you have to consider that the Rams will definitely not reach for him, and he definitely won't make it anywhere near the second round. He is likely to go at picks in the 20s, but a good combine could push him up. Would the Rams be willing to trade down to get him? I doubt it, but i would love to have him in the horns.
You also have quite a wide variety of other TEs to choose from, many good pass catching TEs that will be available in later rounds. Joe Klopfenstein is a guy with fairly good speed that could be a viable option. There are no FAs really worth bothering with except ones that have previously played for the Rams. The draft is loaded with talent at TE, and you have to think Linehan will find a very good one. I think the Davis hype due to his pass catching might be let down by his blocking. The Rams will need a solid blocking TE in both the pass and run game.
Offensive Line
I won't bother talking about the Tackles, these two guys will keep Bulger off his ass, you can't find any criticism about Pace, and Barron can only get better.
As for the interior lineman, McCollom and Timmerman are getting older, and Timmerman is often playing through injuries. However they are still very capable starters, and i don't see the need to bring in anyone to take their place from FA. Obviously Steve Hutchinson and LeCharles Bentley would be upgrades, but they aren't going to be had for cheap, and there is no way the Seahawks would dare let Hutch go to a division rival.
LG is a bit of a problem. Claude Terrell played OK given his chance, and another offseason might do him wonders. Richie Incognito will hopefully be pushing for playing time now that he is injury free. But you have to see the Rams bringing in an interior OL from somewhere, not only to be a backup to McCollom and Timmerman, but to compete with Terrel for a starters job and possibly be a starter in years to come. I see a OG being taken in the 3rd or 4th rounds.
Wide Receivers
Isaac Bruce will sign a contract extension and will end up retiring a Ram. Bruce will always be a team player, and after last year when the Rams decided to leave Bruce's contract as it was and pay him the money, you have to think he will restructure so that the team can pick up some much needed defense. He will still be the starter alongside probably the best and most consistant WR in the league, Torry Holt.
There is a big question concerning Kevin Curtis and Shaun McDonald. Both are restricted FAs, and the Rams will likely offer Curtis a high tender. McDonald may be left free to leave, although its possible they may offer him a tender, just so that they can get some compensation. Although it may not be worthwhile seeing as how he was a 4th rounder. If McDonald is left to leave, then the Rams will definitely use a midlevel draft pick to grab a WR, but one who also is good at returning. Skyler Green is a name touted, and i have no objections to bringing in such a player. You have to remember that Dane Looker is still under contact, and he can be a good enough 4th WR,
Running Backs
Steven Jackson is the starter. Its looking more and more likely that Marshall Faulk is coming back, and it seems as though Linehan wants to get him more and more involved. Madison Hedgecock is a good enough FB, a solid blocker who can also run or make the catch when it is required. Manumaleuna, if resigned, can also play FB.
I dont see the rams signing a Free Agent RB. But they could draft for depth and return ability. Maurice Drew is someone i would like to see. Yes he is small at 5'8, but Darren Sproles is small and he went on to be one of the NFLs best returners last year. Drew might be gone before the Rams pick in the third and 4th, but his lack of size may drop him down in some peoples eyes. If it happens, the rams could easily take him to be a returner this year with an option to be Jackson's backup when Faulk retires. However because he might not make an immediate impact on the offense as well as special teams, the Rams may go with a WR as a returner, who will also serve as the teams 4th receiver
I can't see the rams drafting a QB, especially since Jeff Smoker and Ryan Fitzpatrick have been taken in recent drafts. Fitzpatrick will get the chance to compete for the number 2 job i think, but Linehan will bring in someone to be Marc Bulger's backup. There aren't many decent FAs however, but dont be too surprised to see Gus Frerotte as Bulger's backup. He knows Linehan's system, and Miami might let him go if they bring in someone like Drew Brees or Jay Cutler
From what i can see happening right now, the draft order would be like this:
First Round:
Micheal Huff/Jimmy Williams (whoever impresses at the combine or pro day the most, and who is still available at 11)
Vernon Davis (if he can show that he has the ability to block)
Second Round:
Abdul Hodge (or another linebacker)
Manny Lawson (if he falls, but his stock can only rise)
ILB (if not taken in previous rounds)
TE (if not taken in previous rounds)
OG (If not taken in previous rounds)
Now i dont know if this has been put forward at all, but he Rams could easily trade down, especially if Vince Young slips, which he appears to be doing. By trading the Number 11 pick the Rams could easily pick up a middle to last first rounder and an early second rounder. This would allow the Rams to probably pick up, Leonard Pope, Manny Lawson and Abdul Hodge in the first two rounds. The only problem is the Rams would all but lose getting a shot at drafting a very good playmaking safety, which the team would love.
I would like your opinions on all this, i know its lengthy, but please give it a read and see what you think.

When snow, ice and frigid weather blasts into town, "Watch out," says Dr. Craig Pauls, a chiropractor at Family Health Quest in Freeport.
When snow, ice and frigid weather blasts into town, "Watch out," says Dr. Craig Pauls, a chiropractor at Family Health Quest in Freeport.
Shoveling is a great form of cardio exercise and, when done correctly, it can save a person from having a heart attack, or even having an aching back. After the 15-inch snowfall that fell in the area last week, the doctor's phone was ringing with people in desperate need of help due to back issues.
On the first day, as the snow began to fall, Pauls said people began to enter his practice looking for relief.
"The injuries I saw were mostly pulled muscles in the upper back and there were also some lower back issues," Pauls said. "I had one guy come in who couldn't even bend over to tie his shoes."
The injuries Pauls saw were mainly due to lack of applying common sense while clearing snow. He said common mistakes people make are mainly due to rushing the job and not taking the proper precautions.
Shoveling snow the wrong way, clambering awkwardly over snow banks, slipping on sidewalks and wearing the wrong kind of clothing can pose potential spasms, strains and sprains on the back. The heart is also at risk.
Do Not Hurry
Snowfalls can wreak havoc on people. There are city ordinances to keep sidewalks clear. Driveways must be cleared to get the car out and after all of this, many people have to get to work in a hurry. Pauls said the best thing to do is allow extra time to take the proper precautions to stop injury, which can lead people to his office or to the hospital.
The recent snowfall in this area was referred to as "heart attack snow." The pure weight of the snow made the job that much more difficult. Pauls advise is to slow down and take breaks.
"Most back injuries are muscular, but the muscles are attached to the bones, which pull against the spine, and when the nerves are affected, this is where the pain comes from," Pauls said. "The nerves get irritated and people need to take protection not only from the elements, but they also need to warm up to the job."
Snow shoveling is like any form of exercise. To avoid injury, take the time to stretch and perform some warm-up exercises. Cold muscles can be easily injured, so run in place before shoveling to warm up the muscles.
Pauls offers these tips:
- Listen to weather forecasts, get up early and take your time.
- Layer clothing to keep the muscles warm and flexible.
- Do some warm-up stretches before grabbing the shovel – this will help with muscles between the shoulder blades, upper back, lower back, buttocks and legs.
- When shoveling, remove the snow in layers. Try to push the snow ahead and avoid throwing the snow in a twisting motion.
- Bend the knees when lifting the snow to let the legs do the lifting instead of the back.
- Take frequent breaks to take the strain off the muscles. A fatigued body is susceptible to injury.
- Most important, if chest pains occur, stop immediately and assess the pain. If accompanied by shortness of breath and the condition worsens, seek professional medical help.
Page 2 of 2 - After any of these activities and soreness occurs, apply an ice bag to the affected area for 20 minutes, then take it off for a couple of hours. Repeat a couple of times each day over the next day or two. If condition worsens, seek out a doctor or a chiropractor.
"The problem many people get into this time of year is many of them are sedentary and then all of a sudden take on strenuous exercise," Pauls said. "This puts pressure on muscles and joints, which are already stiff from the cold."

Sometimes news in a small town is like the weather in Nevada. Just wait a minute and it'll change. That, of course, is not a new revelation, but it did tumble to the forefront of my mind after a friend suggested over the weekend that last week's edition of the MVN was a little 'light' in hard news content. In all honesty, he was right, but he also flung the door wide open to fall back, this week, on that time-honored cliche, 'What a difference a week makes.'
And what a week it's been, including brand new Congressman Steven Horsford making his first official visit to Yerington; the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mason Valley holding their annual Youth of Year Banquet, complete with a plethora of awards and a keynote address by Rudy Ruettiger of Notre Dame football lore; the Lyon School Trustees beginning to deal with a series of tough fiscal decisions; the fate of the old Lyon County Safety complex being placed in the hands of the Lyon County Commission; a settlement proposal being offered in a class action suit Sunset Hills area residents filed against Atlantic Richfield charging damages from operations the old Anaconda minesite at Weed Heights, including charges of groundwater contamination; and a meeting scheduled this Thursday pffering an update on current groundwater conditions/issues involving the same minesite.
If you're into infusing the economic vitality of the community and points well beyond, the list has to be topped, too, by the news that the Yerington land Bill has been re-introduced by Nevada Senators Harry Reid and Dean Heller, opening the door to the creation of a potential 800 jobs at Nevada Copper's Pumpkin Hollow mining project. Who says life is dull in a small town anyway?

Trucking Logistics
The worst reading from the Institute for Supply Management's Purchasing Managers Index since November 2012 signals a slowdown in freight for less-than-truckload carriers to haul.
Werner Enterprises, the fifth-largest truckload carrier in the U.S., is raising solo driver pay by an average of $5,000 annually, the latest sign of how motor carriers are forking out more to keep and attract drivers ahead of serious demographic headwinds.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration released on Friday the final version of its coercion rule, the first in a number of regulations that could impact U.S. truck capacity moving forward.
Mark Herbison, Greater Memphis Chamber, on the city's history as a trade hub, current rail, river, road, rail and air advantages, as well as funding needs for infrastructure expansion.
For-hire truck tonnage reversed two months of decline in October even as inventories remain a drag on truck freight volume, according to the latest figures from the American Trucking Associations.
Truckers calling in Los Angeles-Long Beach are experiencing the lowest in-terminal service times since longshore labor issues in the fall of 2014 created the worst port congestion in more than a decade, according to the organization that represents the 13 container terminals in the largest U.S. port complex.
Transportation stakeholders received something to celebrate this year as 44 percent of the new $500 million round of the Department of Transportation's Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery program went to projects dedicated to moving freight.
Averitt's Charlie McGee on international supply chain solutions, risk tolerance and expectations for 2016.
The National Automobile Dealers Association raised its forecast for 2016 U.S. car and light truck sales to 17.7 million units, a record high that will drive automotive freight and logistics demand.
Less-than-truckload shipments increased marginally in the first nine months of 2015, as freight revenue plummeted, thanks largely to the drop in fuel surcharges, SJ Consulting Group says.

My friend gave me these . . .
She gave me this stuff and it's cute, but Willow doesn't want me to save it for her. . . Should I use it for Stella? There are 2 packs invites, plates, napkins, hats, and gift bags. The gifts bags are medium and there is a total of 26. What would you do?
Quoting Dodie702:
You could pass it to someone else if it doesn't fit in your theme.
Did you have a theme for Stella already? I remember it's to be at Chuck E Cheese but I can't recall if you were going with a separate theme; If you do have a theme and have not started purchasing for that theme as yet then maybe you can switch to this, butterflies are sweet for a 1st birthday.
I would use it and save the other theme for the room next year when you cn do what hubby has in mind. Its cute and a very nice theme.
Quoting KEISHAJB:
I did have a theme in mind, but I Didn't buy anything yet. . . So I guess I will use them! LOL
Should I wait for an email.....lol
Quoting KEISHAJB:
No. Use whatever Colors you like and I'll match it. I don't need the other stuff. Lol

America's First Crime Scene PhotographerPhotography // Friday, April 18, 2014
In the 1930's and 40's, a Ukrainian photographer by the name of Arthur Fellig made a living photographing crime scenes for New York City area newspapers. He gained his nickname "Weegee"from the phonetic version of the ouija board because of his seemingly clairvoyant ability to arrive at a crime scene just minutes after it occurred.

OVERTON, ANTHONY (1865–1946), Illinois, entrepreneur, cosmetics manufacturer, insurance and bank founder, realtor, newspaper publisher.
Overton was born into slavery on March 21, 1865, in Monroe, Louisiana, to Anthony and Martha (Deberry) Overton. He attended Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas, and the University of Kansas, graduating with a bachelor of laws degree in 1888. Overton was admitted to the Kansas state bar and practiced law in Topeka. After serving a year as a judge of the municipal court in Shawnee County, he moved to Oklahoma and in 1892 was elected treasurer of Kingfisher County. Afterward, he moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where in 1898 Overton launched his business career, with the founding of the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Company, which initially specialized in the production of its Hygienic Pet Baking Powder. Subsequently, that company became part of an early twentieth-century African American large, diverse conglomerate.
In 1911 Overton moved his company to Chicago, which was evolving into the hub of African American business in the North. Recognizing the potential market in cosmetics for African American women, the company soon had 52 products, including cosmetics, perfumes, shoe polish, hair preparations, baking power, toilet water, and flavoring extracts. Overton followed a policy of producing only high-quality products and avoiding demeaning products such as skin bleaches. Toilet articles, such as the High Brown Face Powder, soon became nationally known. By 1915, the company had $268,000 in capital with 32 full-time employees. In 1927, the credit rating service Bradstreet estimated the company at a value of over $1 million, and Overton's newspaper, the Chicago

Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure

Eyes: Brown
Warning to people with sensitive skin! I washed my face lightly with this and it immediately gave me a rash and consequent hives. Apart from the raging rash and hives my skin did feel slightly softer. Due to the many recommendations for this product, i wouldnt discourage people without sensitive skin to try it and for those who do, do a patch test, so apply to a tiny bit of skin before you use it all over your face, i learnt the hard way lol.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Fair, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Black
Just started using this 24 hrs ago & already in love! Saw Farah Dhukai's video on yt about how to get glowing skin with this DIY daily mask. My deviation to her recipe:
--Manuka honey: 1 tbsp
--Pomegranate seeds blended/juice: 1 tsp
I bough my Manuka from Whole Foods, the 18 oz of the Wedderspoon Raw Organic Active 16+ brand for $40 :( There were other brands of Manuka available, but the SA said this was the most 'bioactive' and pure, others listed manuka in some percentage mixed with another honey type, unlike this one which is 100%. Also, WF has an excellent return policy so I figured I might as well shell out the money & if its a fail after a few tries, I can always return it. This honey has a thick opaque consistency & a strong vicks vapor like smell. It wasn't too bothersome for me but I probably couldn't ingest it. I found it to be not as sticky as the traditional honey and much easier to spread on the face as its creamier. I skimmed the 200++ reviews on Amazon to get a good idea of the product & its properties.
I also didn't go through the trouble of peeling, removing & blending seeds of a real pomegranate, just bought the POM pomegranate (85%) & blueberry (15%) juice, couldn't find 100% but hey blueberries are a powerful antioxidant too & it still had no other preservatives. Anyways I mixed the proportions together & poured it in a plastic jar I picked up from the dollar store & refrigerated. I used the mask for 30 mins last night & again this am and WOW what a difference. My skin which is highly irritable right now (PCOS hormones), red, raw & severely breaking out has seen ATLEAST a 50% reduction in the redness already!Trust me I'm not an over exaggerater, my mom asked if I was wearing powder already at breakfast! My monstrous zits have turned into whiteheads over night :) and my skin just feels calm and soft. I can't say for the moisturizing/anti-aging benefits on pores/fine lines yet ofcourse but I am sold already! This honey is a keeper for sure. HIghly recommend it for those suffering with severee acne.
FYI; I use clarisonic daily, PMD weekly, tanda zap daily, derma roller bi weekly, AHA treatments & a variety of natural oils as part of my regular skin regimen. I have also tried tazorac, duac gel and retinol in the past. None of the above, alone or combined has shown me such good results, this FAST
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
This was no miracle product for me and I bought the 16+
It does nothing for my pimples, cuts, scrapes, scabs - did not speed healing or help clear an infection that I had.
I give it 2 lippies because it is good for reducing inflammation (if i pick and make a pimple angry it helps take the red out and bring it back to how it looked before) BUT it does not make it heal faster, or become more "pop"able or anything else like that.
If anything I think I break out worse when I use it as a face mask, worse as in deep cystic zits.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I use Manuka 15+, anything under UMF 10 hasn't got any actives so it wont really be different to regular honey.
I paid around �18 for 250 ml, It's not cheap! BUT if you use it sensibly, then it'll last you quite a while.
Where to buy it from~
Most health-food stores and some supermarkets stock it.
How I use it~
Make sure I've taken all my make-up off etc
I take about half a teaspoon of the honey and spread it over my face, gentle circular motions. Its important not to be too heavy handed as the stickiness of the honey can pull your skin. Also don't layer it on too much because it will start dripping off after a short while. I leave it on for as long as I like, usually 30 minutes or so then I pat it off with a wet cloth using lukewarm water.
Brighter skin, clean but also moisturised. Blemishes also a bit more calm and soothed.
In a nut-shell~
I think it's great as a face-mask, it cleanses without stripping your skin like a lot of other masks do. If you use it every few days, the jar of honey will probably last you a few months. You can try it as a 'spot' treatment but you probably wont get instant results. It's not a miracle product, it's just a jar of really good honey!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
As an occasional treatment or component in face masks this is wonderful. It really helps to even out my skin tone and heal any sore spots or dry skin.
As for acne, it works well on the cystic type, but not so much on regular pimples. In fact, when I tried using it as a daily face wash in a bid to go more natural it actually clogged my pores and caused even more acne! I think I'll stick to using it once or twice a week.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I bought this hoping that it would help flatten a pimple on my chin! So instead of using it as a mask for 30 minutes I put a dab on it and covered it with a band-aid overnight. I have done this for the past two days and its not improved at all. I am so disappointed; especially after reading all of the rave reviews :(
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
If you are suffering from any skin ailment, please please please try this.
1) Price:
I live in BC, Canada, so naturally, everything is slightly more expensive than in the rest of Canada and even more than the US. I found a 60mL container at Whole Foods for $15. That's very cheap, given it lasted me about 6 months, while using it every night.
2) How I use it:
I used to use cleansers, toners, scrubs, moisturizers, night creams...
And then, I decided to stop. I began thinking: what if I'm doing too much? I heard about manuka honey from a few other blogs, so I said, my skin can't get any worse, so might as well try it. Boy, am I glad I did.
I use it as a mask/moisturizer at night. Allow me to explain.
**The kind of manuka honey cream I have includes: organic olive oil, organic beeswax, grape seed oil extract, organic manuka honey, manuka oil extract and water.**
In the evening, I wash my face with water and gentle veggie soap, and then I apply a thin layer of manuka honey all over my face, as a mask. I leave it on for 30 minutes, and then, I take a tissue paper, pat my face, and GENTLY rub the remainder into my skin, so it can sink in. By the time I go to bed, it's relatively dry, but I usually sleep on my back anyway.
Now, if you were to use 100% manuka honey with no other ingredients, I wouldn't leave it in as a moisturizer; I'd just use it as a mask.
3) What it does for me:
My skin is first of all, less red and less bumpy. My pores aren't clogged anymore, with far fewer pimples (this also has to do with my simple skin-care/make-up routine - check notepad if you're curious). Last, but not least, it moisturizes big time without making my face oily.
This is my experience on a skin cream with manuka honey. It took about 1 week to see really noticeable results and I think it worked this well because of the minimal skin care routine.
Hope this helped someone out there :)

I just started my raw honey regimen again. My 5 year old son and I eat a teaspoon a day. We are both prone to colds, and I really saw the difference in our overall health when we had stopped for a few weeks.
But who cares about health right, let's get to the important part ;)
I stopped using regular raw honey on my face ( brand is "Really Raw Honey"n now just use it internally), since it was too harsh for me. It was great for awhile, but then it slowly dried out my face. I have dry skin with the occasional bad break out and slight bumps from time to time. I read about Manuka honey and bought a jar 15+ about a week ago. First of all, it is the perfect face wash. Just use it as if it was a regular cleanser (has a great and smooth consistency), and gently massage it for a few minutes. Take a wash cloth (or you can rinse it off with your hands). Second step: Put about a half a tea spoon on your face, again massage it in (concentrate on problem areas such as pimples, scars, wrinkles and then keep it on your face for however long you like. I do this only in the evening, and keep the honey on for about 30 minutes, but it all depends, sometimes as short as 5 minutes. Now again, take a wash cloth and put it under warm water. I don't rinse all the honey off, but pat it into my skin until it is not as sticky anymore. When I'm done I spash a tiny amount of water on my face and rub in a drop of honey as my moisturizer.
The first few days my skin dried out a bit, but now it adjusted and I have a fantastic clear complection and tighter skin. I put it on my son's "bumpies" (face, legs, arms) and also use it on hom as a nighly moisturizer (can't start young enough ;).
I will write an update to see if this miracle continues. Buying my dad regular raw honey and Manuka for Christmas. Your dog goes nuts for it as well ( the regular RH) . Bye bye Strycectin. I found an all in one product for all my needs. Can't get any better than that right?
UPDATE: January 15, 2012.
It's been over a month now and I still use Manuka honey every night. As stated in my original review, I use it as a mask for however much time I have. If I'm really tired, I just put a tea spoon of MH on my face, massage it and massage it gently into my sking after I opened my pores with a warm wash cloth.
Again, after washing the MHoney off, I keep my face wet and put another little dab of it on my moist face until it is absorbed.
I sleep with it at night (sometimes I can be sticky, so either splasch a bit more water on face to dilute, or use a towel on the pillow).
In conclusion: Did not have one break out until a few days ago (got rid of my IUD, hence my hormones are running havoc) and eneded up with ONE !!! pimple. Of course I wouldn't leave it alone, and after I was done messing with my face, I looked like I gad a third eye. Put honey on it overnight, next day the pimple was almost invisible.
I will stick to Manuka honey and just bought my second jar yesterday (I guess I am a little too generous with the amounts I use).
My face is clear, even, pores almost invisible and I love it. Sometimes it feels as if my skin is dry, however I do not use any additional moisturizers.
looked into Episilk hyalluronic serum and used it for one night agter my honey regimen. It felt great, however, I like to stick to "one for all product" and Manuka honey delivers everything I want/need.

I've been using Manuka for a few years now, it is amazing. I've found it every bit as effective as polysporin under a bandage for little cuts and burns. I have hormonal acne, and guilty if being a picker. This does help things heal nicely if I have been bad. I use it often as a mask, and one of my favourites is to mix with a splash of lemon,plain goats yogurt (home lactic acid peel, tres mild!) and a tsp of oatmeal flakes. I eyeball the measurements, but as long as it's goey enough to not drip, it's a nice way to heal, exfoliate (goat dairy has "smaller" enzymes or something that makes it easier to digest and absorb topically than cow). I also use Manuka with crushed aspirin as a mask/spot treatment or sometimes mixed with bee propolis or tea tree in a mask. There are no downsides to this despite the stickiness and price, given the money and time I've invested in products that just exacerbate my spots or do nothing at all.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Red, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
i've been hearing about the anti-bacterial properties for a while now, and a few weeks ago DH and i caved in and bought some Manuka Honey from Whole Foods. we paid $25-ish or so for a container about 4 inches tall or so by 3 inches wide.
the consistency is thicker and creamier than other types of honey, and its much less sweet. still sweet. but not as delicious, IMO, as Clover honey :) dont get me wrong, it wouldnt be torture or anything to eat it though ;)
i've been meaning to do a face mask with it, and i think i will today, so i'll come back and update later.
what we've been using it for is diaper rash though. its AMAZING! we had been using Butt Paste. as it was the only thing that would keep DS's bum clear. BUT, we had to apply that EVERY time, without fail. skipping ONE time would mean a red bum again :(
with this, we apply it every 2nd or 3rd night after his shower, and just leave it there till it gets wiped away after the morning diaper change. after just the FIRST use, his bottom was no longer red at all! and we only applly it that ONE time every 2 to 3 days! his bottom stays soooo clear and much better than even the Butt Paste had it! *is thrilled*
we also use it on an ylittle cuts or anything that one of us egets, and it helps them to heal soooo much faster :)
i'll be trying this in the near future as a face mask, and mixed with conditioner as a hair mask (SMT's! woo hoo!).
after we run out in a maybe 6 months or so from now i'll definately be re-buying!

Google I/O 2014 Begins [updated] 49
Google I/O, the company's annual developer tracking^wdevelopers conference, has opened today in San Francisco. This year the company has reduced the number of conference sessions to 80, but also promised a broader approach than in previous years -- in other words, there may be a shift in focus a bit from Google's best known platforms (Chrome/Chrome OS and Android). Given its wide-ranging acquisitions and projects (like the recent purchase of Nest, which itself promptly bought Dropcam, the ever smarter fleet of self-driving cars, the growing number of Glass devices in the wild, and the announcement of a 3D scanning high end tablet quite unlike the Nexus line of tablets and phones), there's no shortage of edges to focus on. Judging from the booths set up in advance of the opening (like one with a sign announcing "The Physical Web," expect some of the stuff that gets lumped into "the Internet of Things." Watch this space -- updates will appear below -- for notes from the opening keynote, or follow along yourself with the live stream, and add your own commentary in the comments. In the days to come, watch for some video highlights of projects on display at I/O, too. Update: 06/25 17:41 GMT by T : Updates rolling in below on Android, wearables, Android in cars, Chromecast, smart watches, etc.Keep checking back! (Every few minutes, I get another chunk in there.)

Hi. I'm planning to venture into 3-digit mileage land for the 1st time this weekend. I know that I shouldn't make any drastic changes to my setup beforehand, but I have a new wheelset I'm itching to get rolling. Good idea, Bad idea?
Hi. I'm planning to venture into 3-digit mileage land for the 1st time this weekend. I know that I shouldn't make any drastic changes to my setup beforehand, but I have a new wheelset I'm itching to get rolling. Good idea, Bad idea?
It depends on how confident you are with your new wheelset. Was it made by your LBS? Was it home brewed? I've ridden centuries on wheelsets I've built with less than a hundred miles on them. If they've been built, stress-relieved, trued and set up correctly, then they're usually good for several thousands of miles without much attention, barring accidents, potholes etc.
So, are you feeling lucky, punk?
- Wil
PS: Good luck with the ride!
PPS: Other thoughts - I bought a set of wheels for my MTB from eBay, and was surprised to find that the tension was about half of what I would have expected it to be. The wheels had been put together, and trued, and stress-relieved, but had not been brought up to tension. I'm sure they would have worked OK, even for a century, but I'm certain that spoke breakage would have happened sooner rather than later (or never). So, do you already have the wheels, or are you still waiting for them? You might want to check their tension.

I found a great LBS. So, yeah, I'm feeling lucky. Ha.
- I already have the wheels. The lbs trued them & whatever else, told me to put some miles on them & bring them back for a follow up.
I'm wondering if something as tragic as getting 60 miles out with a new uncomfortable saddle could happen, in you guys' opinion.

Two days before I was supposed to do a 300k, I was tuning up my bike and discovered a series of hairline cracks on the rim of my rear wheel. I took the wheel into my LBS the next day and asked how long it would take for them to build a new one. They said three days due to backlog. I asked if they could have it built that day and explained that I had a 300k to ride tomorrow. The owner said, "well in that case, leave the wheel here so I can reuse the hub. Get you a new one built in three hours. If it's not ready by then, you can have one of my loaners."
True to his word, wheel was built and ready in three hours. I've put +3000 miles on it and it's been rolling true and strong ever since.
Everything went well. Thanks!

About Me
Jeff Zoet Visuals
I accept video shoots too!
NO TFP or "test" shoots.
I am 100% freelance with over 10 years experience and 400+ shoots under my belt. I simply cannot offer my services for free. Please respect that.
Anyone interested in setting up a shoot, just send me a message.
If you send me a message inquiring about a shoot, I'm going to assume that you've read this, and that you won't be all surprised when I tell you my rates.

Zenfolio gallery of all of my Pop Culture shoots
Originally from Holland, Michigan... but have been living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the last 15 years. I visit Holland about 3 times a year.
There are lots of people out there that have purchased a camera, taught themselves the basic technical functions, and labeled themselves as photographers.
For me, it has always been about creating art. I have been expressing my artistic abilities across many different mediums throughout the years. Whether it was illustrating, airbrushing, graphic design, animation, visual effects or motion graphics... it was always about creating. Putting something out into the world that didn't exist before. And at the same time, encouraging people to stop, look and think when they see the work I've done.
I feel that portrait photography has opened a door for me to create art, while involving other people directly in the process. It allows me to use my imagination, but also take into consideration someone else's unique perspective to give them something that is designed specifically for them.
If you are in the Pittsburgh area, drop a line and maybe we can line up a shoot. I prefer to communicate through email, only because I like to have written documentation of all communication.
Models are encouraged to bring an escort to the shoot with them. But please make sure that escorts are professional and non intrusive to the shoot!

Saturn Vue Green Line: Car Tech Video
About Video
Car Tech Video: Saturn Vue Green Line3:14 /
GM deserves kudos for its first hybrid SUV. It won't break any performance records, and its hybrid system could use some refinement, but the Saturn Vue Green Line is a decent combination of form and function for the price.
Share (0)
>> If you only have 22 some odd to spend on a car, can you get a hybrid and an SUV? You sure can, right here in the Saturn View Greenline. [ music ] Now the main thing with the Saturn View Hybrid Greenline is that A it's green. It's the hybrid version of this mini crossover SUV and B it's cheap. It's the cheapest hybrid SUV anywhere. Around 22,000 dollars. That's inexpensive. Now before we get to the hybrid technology, let's check out some other tech in the cabin. There's not a whole lot of it, but there's a little. First of all, every one of these guys has an auxiliary input jack on the stereo system, whether you get the base or the upgraded system. I like that. AUX jacks are very smart and we're happy to see that. You can also option up XM Satellite Radio on this car, it's a GM product of course, so XM only. Our vehicle didn't have that, but we've seen that before. Audio system is an in dash 6 disk CD, CD plus MP3, so store bought CD's or the MP3 you make at home. No WMA and overall the system is a very commonly seen GM piece. Now let's move on to the hybrid technology that first appears in the cabin before we get to the engine. You've gotta charge assist meter over here. That's pretty common on hybrids. It tells you if you are discharging or charging the battery pack. Are you using juice or are you putting it back in the battery? They live in the very back by the way. And then on the tachometer is another interesting indication. Auto stop and off. When was the last time you saw that at the bottom of your rev range. Because this car has auto stop technology. When you come to a stop for more than a couple of seconds, the engine's gonna shut down and then the electric motor restarts the car in a fraction of a second. We see it in a number of hybrids. This car implements that technology. The one time it will not shut down the engine at a stop is if you wanna keep the air conditioning running at all times. To do that, you either engage or disengage this economy AC button right here. And if you tell it you want AC to stay, it'll keep the engine running at stops. Otherwise it's gonna shut down. So much for the hybrid technology in the cabin. Let's go where it really lives, under the hood. Now the Saturn View Greenline Hybrid is what's called a mild hybrid. It has an electric motor in there that helps out a scrawny gas engine. Here's the scrawny gas engine. 2.4 liter, inline 416 valve, 170 horse, 160 foot pounds of torque. Nothing to write home about. The electric motor adds 115 pounds of torque. Now we're talking about moving this vehicle smartly around town. We found that it was very good at getting up out of it's own way. Doesn't feel bulky at all, despite having an underpowered gas engine. That's why the hybrid magic works. In the end, 27/32 are the MPG ratings. Very nice. Here's the electric motor. Right down there. It looks like an alternator cause it kind of is but it runs in two modes. That's also the device that restarts the engine after you've come to a stop and as you can see, it's got a rubber belt there that heads down, down to the crank and that's how it provides the additional power. It is not integrated into the transmission like a more sophisticated hybrid might be. Okay, so a real simple hybrid, keeping it cheap. Base price, 22,995. Okay, it's really 23, 650 more for that upgraded audio system. Another 6 or 7 for transportation charges, 24,300 out the door. ^M00:03:09 [ music ]

Back on topic, I'm definitely looking forward to another viewing of ST XI. Still disappointed we don't have a longer cut, but I imagine that if it happens, it will happen around the release of Star Trek: Something, Something.
I don't think it will happen. AFAIK, JJ Abrams isn't big on extended versions of films. What we saw in the theaters *was* the director's cut. The best we can hope for is just having the deleted scenes in a separate section.
