Carolina hosts the Arizona Cardinals for the second time at home, this time in less favorable weather but with hopefully the same result. Carolina leads the matchup, has a 10 point spread, and has the better matchup at home. It's an eerily lopsided matchup for Carolina, despite a top passing offense for the Cardinals.
Last time
Carolina played Arizona at home, with AZ coming off a bye week and
Carolina preparing for one. The Panthers were without starting linemen
Jeff Otah and Ryan Kalil, while the Cardinals were getting WR Anquan
Boldin back. The Panthers fell behind by 14 points but came back to take the lead late with a strong running game and two quick Steve Smith scores; Carolina held off a late charge by the Cardinals by picking off Kurt Warner - Jon Beason bringing the interception back to midfield and Carolina killing the clock from there.
Since Then: Arizona went 5-4 since visiting Carolina, so 5-5 after their
bye and with a 2-4 finish. They won the NFC West, receiving their first
home playoff game since 1947 and beat the Falcons for their first
playoff win since 1998. They lost Anquan Boldin for more time;
Edgerrin James was benched, then started again; he's since said he wants
out of Arizona (which Boldin, in a contract dispute, has also stated).
James has picked up his game in the past few weeks.
To give you how big a deal it was that they had a home playoff game last week, the Cardinals were two moves and three name changes ago since their last home game in Chicago, twelve years before they moved to St. Louis. They never had a playoff game there, and never even played in the playoffs as the Phoenix Cardinals before becoming state-based.
Carolina Defense v/s Arizona Offense
Oddly enough, Carolina faces Arizona's passing attack the week after facing New Orleans, just as it did mid-schedule 2008. Facing a top ranked passing team tends to help for stopping a top ranked passing team, and it helped Carolina last time.
There's no getting around the potential of the Arizona offense. The league's 4th ranked offense sports a passing trio of Pro Bowlers in Fitzgerald, Boldin, and Warner, each of which were named starters in the all-star game. The pass-based Cardinals are direct opposites of the
Panthers offensively and show a direct change in balance - they're 32nd in run attempts (32nd in yards, 31st in yards per carry) and 2nd in pass attempts (2nd in yards, 7th in yards/attempt).
The Cards pass at a 7.7 yard per attempt average. They get a first down 36.7% of passing
attempts, equal with Carolina for 5th in the league. They're third in the league for 40+ yard passing plays. They convert 42% third down, good for 11th in the league. Fumbled 27, for 10th worst in the league; they've lost 15. 11 of them are Warner's.
The Cards allowed 28 sacks, very good for their number of attempts. Still, Warner's downfield, in the pocket mentality and his feet staying set in the pocket will show Warner getting hit a lot - he got pressured 9 times and sacked twice in the previous Carolina game despite
Carolina's pass rush underperforming over that stretch before the bye. Warner is completing passes at 70%, and is as accurate as ever. He has an accurate deep ball, enough on his deep outs to keep them from hanging, and the experience to make the right throws. His detriment so far have been fumbles, and at times, lack of mobility. Warner does wear down with hits and pressures, so effective pressure can matter even if it doesn't register a sack. It may even be worth, especially within goal-to-go situations a la Green Bay, to take the roughing penalty to hit Warner to prove the point. Unlike Carolina reacting to the hit on Jake Delhomme in the Chicago Bears game in week 2, there's not enough talent outside the passing game to be livened up by such an action.
Larry Fitzgerald is the key to stopping their passing game; Anquan Boldin is still injured, and may or may not play. Fitzgerald is an All-Pro, and a complete player; there's nothing he can't do well. It's hard to say whether the team will put Chris Gamble on Fitzgerald all game; it's possible, and it's something Carolina has had success in 2005 and 2007 with. Typically, Carolina doesn't roll coverage toward a player or put one CB on a receiver, however. Boldin is the dominant physical receiver when healthy, but isn't likely healthy - without a healthy hamstring, he probably won't be able to get off the jam fast, and probably would face man coverage if he plays. Still, he's the type to be able to outman a player in short space, enough to get a first down on 3rd and 4 or less with just one good leg due to his body control and ability to box out defenders.
If Boldin doesn't play, it's still not great news - Steve Breaston, rookie out of Michigan, had 9 catches against Carolina and had 1000 yards in 2008. Compared to Fitzgerald's 12 and Boldin's 11, Breaston only has 3 TDs on the year, but he's still dangerous and has more yards per catch than Boldin. 4th WR Jerheme Urban would get more snaps as the 3rd WR with Boldin out; the 6'3, 210 lb receiver was the 4th best receiver despite being buried on the depth chart, above the top backs, TEs. Warner and the Arizona offense has been determined to throw the ball and speficically to the WR position;
Ben Patrick leads tight ends with receptions at 15 - none of them are a threat. He, the 6'8 Leonard Pope, and Steven Spach rotate, and while none of them are individual threats, Carolina is typically open to the TE attack when playing deep coverage against two good receivers.
LT Mike Gandy is a solid pass blocker, but gave up 6 of the Cardinals' 26 sacks this year and faces Julius Peppers, though Peppers has moved around more in the past few weeks . RT Levi Brown, the Cardinals' 2007 top five overall draft pick, gave up 11 of those sacks, including one to Charles Johnson in the last matchup. The backs and tight ends gave up six of those sacks on confusion, which continues to be a concern for a team that passes so much; a fair amount of pressure has come from blitzers, but Warner generally releases the ball fast enough to mask those problems.
Cardinals Running Game
Despite coming in with the league's worst running game to supplement what can only be described as the easiest passing game to use to setup the run, the Cardinals have run well from base formations in the last two weeks. Without using the draw that much, either. Look for the shotgun-spread draw to be a big part of the Cardinals' gameplan, however, due to the Giants' overuse of the ideal.
4 wideouts are the perfect way to spread out any strong front, and Carolina is no exception - but the question remains. Will the Arizona OL be good enough to block the Carolina front? Spreading the formation means man on man blocking, and Arizona isn't strong enough inside. In the run game, Gandy is passive; Levi Brown at RT is stronger and more physical, but has underwhelmed all career. He could team with Deuce Lutui to create a strong right side, but they don't get enough yards there - Arizona runs off left tackle more than right tackle by over 15%. Vet LG Reggie Wells is an able pass blocker, but doesn't have a lot of heft behind his run drive. S econd year Lyle Sendlein is a replacement center after losing Al Johnson for the year - a solid player in a pinch but athletically limited.
Tim Hightower came into the last Carolina game on fire, and finished with 10 TD but had poorer results when starting. Edgerrin James responded to being benched mid-season with numerous solid performances late in the seasondespite complaining of wanting out of Arizona, but still finished at 3.9 yards per carry and only 3 scores.
Chris Harris probably won't spend much time toward the line, as the Cards' run offense isn't a threat, and the TEs don't get a lot of throws. Carolina would be smart to play pass first every down, and only look for the Giant-copy play of running the inside draw out of shotgun. The Cardinals will not line up and pound the ball, and never have had the ability.
Having DTs Maake Kemoeatu and Damione Lewis healthy will be a plus, but will need more rush than run stopping. Expect Hilee Taylor active instead of a 4th DT.
Special plays/trick plays
Warner's actually one of five to throw the football for the Cardinals -
Matt Leinart started the year out and played in four games (15/29, 264
yd, 1 td 1 int); JJ Arrington, punter Dirk Johnson (cut in December),
and backup WR Jerheme Urban have all attempted passes. To add to their
trick play arsenal, Anquan Boldin has only 12 games played but has
attempted 9 rushes, and Steve Breaston has attempted 2 in his place.
They have used Boldin in a Wildcat style formation, what they call
Pahokee - and Boldin's the only WR to use the formation this year.
Boldin had a background as a quarterback before turning to the receiver
position at FSU, and can throw or run the option efficiently. The team
traditionally sends Larry Fitzgerald split out in this formation, and
use backup RB Tim Hightower in the backfield.
Carolina Offense v/s Cardinals Defense
The Cardinals show up with a number of looks on defense - 4-3, 3-4, and they blitz from both. DC Clancy Pendergast does a solid job of keeping the two sets from being telegraphed by personnel, and his defenses don't very a lot in how he administers them from one scheme to the next. It's not that he goes to the 3-4 to blitz, or the 4-3 because it's a running down. They don't have an effective nosetackle, and that hurts them. They're a completely one-gap styled team regardless of personnel or scheme, and their DL is aggressive and somewhat undisciplined. DTs Darnell Dockett and Gabe Watson don't stay at home as much as they could, but do make plays consistent with the ones that show the Panthers giving up around 3-5 stuffed run plays on offense. The team uses Calais Campbell, a rookie, there as well, and if the Cardinals need to stop the run badly enough, they could go to a 5-man DL look.
Ends Bertrand Berry and Antonio Smith are solid, with Smith being primarily a run stopper - Travis LaBoy gets a lot of the pass snaps. Last year, Smith and Dockett had the two AZ sacks.
Karlos Dansby (119 tackles leads the team; has four sacks) is their all-around best LB, excelling at both run and pass; Chike Okeafor balances between 4-3 OLB and 3-4 OLB. He excels at the outside rush, but doesn't do much against the run and can give up contain if he's lined up on the line. Gerald Hayes, the MLB, is second on the team in tackles and is primarily a run-stopper. In some 3-4 sets, he's teamed with former Steelers LB Clark Haggans. We can drop TEs behind the linebackers, with the Cards being ranked 27th against the TE; they're 22nd against RBs as well. Actually, footballoutsiders doesn't have them listed well against any receiver - 26th against the primary WR, 19th against the 2nd, and 15th against the 3rd. Jeff King had 3 receptions against the Carinals last time.
The Cards can be spread against the pass or run, which limits their coverage and blitz options; they can be hurried to the line to keep substitution from being valid. Get them into nickel and they'll be stuck with LaBoy playing the run the next down. If you can play hurry-up in 3-4, and then spread, you could get Haggans against a RB in space in the slot. The Cards' multiple-front defense is still able to be manipulated, and their intentions become much clearer at that point.
Counter plays will probably work well with the eager AZ defense, and misdirection won't be easily figured out, but the team will probably have enough success running without it as well. The Cards come in ranked 8th against the run - up a few spots from last week, but have had very few carries (2nd in the league) and clock in at a more pedestrian 16th yards per carry. They were gashed by the Redskins for almost 200 yards with Clinton Portis, mostly up the middle.
Left corner Rod Hood goes up against Steve Smith - the physical 5'11 corner had 5 picks for almost 200 yards and 2 TDs (and 21 defensed passes) as an incoming free agent last year, but has been quiet this year. He'll have help from FS Antrel Rolle, a converted CB that struggled in transition. Rookie Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was drafted as a new centerpiece the AZ backfield and has developed, but still can't handle Smith one on one, and doesn't have the experience to handle the tricks that Muhsin Muhammad brings. Nickel Eric Green has solid man-cover technique, but loves to jump routes and gets abused on double moves.
Adrian Wilson (6'3, 230), a physical specimen at the position, is the backfield's best player and a beast when brought into the box. He covers TEs well and stops the run as well as any LB on their roster. The High Point native will probably be a good indicator of the Cardinals' intentions - it's going to be a basic judgement call for Pendergast - stop Steve Smith or stop the run. Certainly, that tips off whether playaction will be successful as well. Last year, the Panthers put Vinny Testaverde into a lot of shotgun situations, it being something he was comfortable with after having not played in the months prior. While this isn't a necessity against the Cards, it would still be comfortable - and this is still ripe for the picking, assuming Carolina is close in score and not ahead.
Carolina had more passing success than rushing success last matchup, with Delhomme throwing for 250 yards and two scores. Muhammad carried the team for first downs, but Steve Smith's 2 TD and playmaking ruled the day. The Cardinals don't have a match for Smith without leaving the running game exposed, and the last 8 games since the Cardinals matchup in late October have shown teams tending toward defending the run first.
Special Teams
K Neil Rackers continues to be one of the better kickers in the league,
hitting 25 of 28 including 1 of 2 from . P Dirk Johnson was cut in
December; Ben Graham punts a quarter of a yard better at 42.0. They
allow 4.2 yards per return. Rackers has 15 touchbacks and averages 63.3 yards per kick (tied for 26th), for an average kick spot of the opposing 1.7 yard line. The Cardinals allow
25.0 per return, tied for 5th worst.
The Cardinals did bobble a snap on an extra point and failed to kick. Carolina has blocked one field goal.
Other than one broken JJ Arrington return (93 yd TD), the Cards average
25.6 yards/return, which isn't great - with the broken return, they
average 24, which still isn't that good. Breaston, the primary kick and
punt returner, averages 7.2 ypr on punts, and 20.2 on kicks.
Backup WR Sean Morey was voted he NFC Pro Bowl special teamer
(technically giving them three receivers in the Pro Bowl) and backup SS
Aaron Francisco shares the ST captain role with him. The Cards blocked a
punt to win the Dallas game, and Carolina has a total of 3 blocked punts
against them.

A couple in Washington state have pleaded not guilty to charges that they streamed their sexual abuse of a 4-year-old girl over the Internet.
Brian K. Beston, 39, and his estranged wife, Hollie Beston, entered their pleas Tuesday in King County Superior Court.
Charging papers say the two were caught when a California child molester who had watched Brian Beston rape the girl over the Internet came forward to tell authorities about it as part of his therapy. Charging papers say Brian Beston admitted repeatedly raping the girl, and that Hollie Beston admitted taking photos and videos of it.
According to investigators, Beston was offering the girl online to have sex with the man and staged the live abuse to prove the authenticity of the offer.

Archy and Nat's Last Stand
Michael Chabon's pop-culture-infatuated novel centers on a threatened used-vinyl store in Oakland.
Archy is black and mutedly blue. Nat is white and sometimes gray with a mental fog. Chabon's examination of cross-racial friendships is subtle. His schematic arrangement of his characters' intertwined lives is not. Archy's pregnant wife, Gwen, delivers the babies of the East Bay bourgeoisie with Nat's wife, Aviva, famed as "the Alice Waters of Midwives." Archy, it transpires, has abandoned a teenaged son who looks uncannily like Luther, and the kid, Titus, befriends Nat's son, Julius, after they meet at a film class. (Its title: "Sampling as Revenge: Source and Allusion in Kill Bill.") These parallels and trick mirrors contribute to the book's odd lightness. Telegraph Avenue is so tidily structured and so often advanced by neat coincidence that—its serious consideration of regret and apology notwithstanding—it resembles a comic production. Does it count as a spoiler to say that the ending, despite its rueful undertone, is unaccountably happy? Archy earns reprieve without redemption, and Chabon, genial and generous as he is, lets most everyone off the hook.
His prose is as energizing as ever, in part because he's always willing to try high-risk maneuvers up on the figurative balance beam; as a result, for every eight or nine tingling triumphs of language, there is a nasty fall to the mat. (Here is a baby crowning: "A smear of fluid and hair presented its credentials at this checkpoint, advance man for the imminently arriving ambassadress from afar.") But Chabon's missteps are more interesting than many writers' bon mots, and the loveliness of the whole acts in the service of romancing adolescence, delivering gorgeous reveries for old records and paying homage to the old ways of the old days. The tone of things complicates the metaphorical richness of one character who plays a minor but crucial role—a memorabilia dealer operating an enterprise called Mr. Nostalgia's Neighborhood.
The book's naive outlook is at odds with its sophisticated verbal surface. Chabon has often been a softie; here, his chin-up optimism about the human race proves mostly ingratiating and totally unsupportable in light of what we know about real-life humans. His heart bleeds where you might want him to get some bile up; the man is too nice to attempt anything on the order of social satire. This is the opposite of a Tom Wolfe novel; the most Chabon will do is gently tease the local organic elite, describing a birth where the floor of a canyon home is covered in a Frida Kahlo shower curtain. Geography is destiny, Michael Chabon knows. So perhaps the most important phrase in the book comes at the end of the "About the Author" note: "He lives in Berkeley."

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexi Best Curling Iron Ever This dual-voltage curling iron is perfect! It is just the right size and weight, and is able to generate enough heat to give a great curl to my hair. I also like the fact that there is an automatic shut-off as I sometimes forget to turn off or unplug my present curling iron. I also want to say that I found this curling iron to be lighter and easier to use than the iron I currently use. It also makes a perfect silky curl. I'm glad I didn't let the previous review deter me from giving this iron a try. It all depends on what you are used to and how badly you need a really good iron to curl your hair. I wasn't going to write a review but after trying this I felt it was important to let others know. I may use this iron daily in place of the one I normally use, as it works wonderfully well. I definitely don't think it's too heavy or too big. I have traveled with larger and heavier. This is a delight. Thanks! March 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SpecialEdTeacher GREAT!!!! Going to France and first bought a butane curling iron. Hated it. Bought this one thinking it was expensive, but it works PERFECTLY and the dual voltage will be wonderful. It adjusts automatically. It has 30 temperature settings, and the one they recommended was perfect!! I'm very happy with this curling iron. October 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by maggiemay1 Great Purchase! I bought the Dual-Voltage Curling Iron to use on a recent trip to Turkey, where we bounced around from one hotel to the other for 12 days. Here are things I love about this curling iron. One, because it is dual voltage, I could use it here in the states or there meaning I don't need to store it away with all my travel gadgets when at home. I can use it here too. Two, because we were on the move through Turkey, I came to appreciate the plastic cover for it. Just place it on a hot iron and stick right into luggage. Great product! November 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Buyer2306 test drive I have naturally curly, thick hair, so I knew that the mini curling iron wouldn't work for me. I have actually burned my hair using my regular curling iron with adapter in England! So I will be happy to have a safe, full size curling iron to "tame" my wild hair with when traveling out of the country. This one heats up fast, and has a nice cover so that you can pack it while it is still a bit hot, for those morning rush times! March 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EdnaBFP Great curling iron Took this on a trip to Greece where we stayed on a cruise ship and 2 different hotels - worked great at all 3 but I did need the separate plug in order for it to work at the 2 places that did not have American plugs. June 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Katijo make smaller for travel This is way too big to carry for a trip. Also too heavy to handle. March 26, 2010

Is it fair to buy one present for my twins to share?
For Christmas this year I want to buy my twin daughters one of those electric keyboard toys with a microphone. I can't decide whether to buy one toy for them to share or two, one for each girl. It seems unfair to always make them share toys, and I don't want them to think that Santa doesn't distinguish between them. But do we really need two of these around the house? What should I do?

Taunya, On toys that are "big" or expensive, your twins can certainly share. It is the small stuff that you get two of, either the same or slightly different (ie: color). Learning to share is a very good thing!posted 11/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
note to board re: the tanya post: there is a messed up link somewhere, i originally clicked a link that said about that a girl (name of Tanya) just found out shes preg and has no insurance and if she gets married to the boyfriend she could have insurance through his job but he doesnt want to get married. So someone clicked the link but then didnt read the rest of the posts before adding theirs...thats all.posted 11/26/2004 by PhilGaige
my brother and i were not twins, but a year apart and big things we shared too... but we got small things that were just ours, Like the year the Ataris came out (okay, im showing my age here, but...) my parents bought one for me and my brother to share, but then bought seperate things, like a little board game, clothes, a stuffed animal that we got as an individual.posted 11/26/2004 by PhilGaige
I don't understand where the state assistance issue came in or why it came up, can someone please fill me in, Did Tanya comment here?posted 11/25/2004 by LuvmyLittleGuy04
buy one set and teach the children how to share!posted 11/24/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
when I was small, my parents encouraged me to write Santa a letter asking for something I could share with my brother (3.5 years younger) and we got a Big toy to share. I think it really depends on their age and interests...I defintely wouldn't buy two of the object you are describingposted 11/24/2004 by mamabear29wk
I say if you would buy one big gift for multi-age children then it's fine for twins too. The keyboard or piano certainly can only be used one at a time or they would drown each other out! A small gift for each would also be nice. But if they really want the keyboard they will probably be happiest with this gift above more smaller gifts.posted 11/24/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I have an identical twin and growing up I often remember getting two of the same toys and also sharing toys. We would usually get two of the same toys if it was something small...say a doll. But one year I remember getting an electric play guitar and my sister got a drum set (something big). My point is, if you can afford it, get two big toys that are different and that reflect on each child's interests. Or, to go ahead and just give the keyboard to share but also give different smaller gifts to each child.posted 11/24/2004 by ashley_101
I am also a twin and there are certain things we wanted to share. That would be one of them. They will make the distinction of what they want seperated as they grow older. You can count on that. The "larger more expensive toys" were bought for "us". We liked that. The smaller individual gifts were "our own". But the ones that were bought for "us" we still talk about. They were special gifts. Let them share those ones!posted 11/23/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
my husband and i just started living together 2 weeks ago and we been trying to have a baby, i know it takes a long time for me because we tryed before and i didnt get pregnant but I been feeling bad, nausea, im hungry all the time, and sometimes i cant sleep do you think im pregnant a already??? my last period was on november the 4th.posted 11/23/2004 by msburga85

Inside a World Cafe Live taping
Ever wonder what a World Cafe Live taping is like?
(Never heard of World Cafe? It's a syndicated public radio show hosted by David Dye with live performances and interviews with bands.)
Usually, they record the show in the studios of WXPN in Philadelphia.
But sometimes, they record them live in the adjacent music venue called World Cafe Live.
Dye perches on a stool at stage left, leaning into a microphone to introduce the band and ask questions between songs.
While the band plays, he stays on the stool, his knees bobbing in time with the music. You almost expect him to start singing along.
Sometimes he puts on a pair of reading glasses to skim notes placed on the metal music stand in front of him.
The whole thing takes less than a half hour.
And the club sounds fantastic.

RISMEDIA, July 21, 2010—More Americans are searching for apartments in 2010 than they have in previous years. Despite ongoing challenges facing the rental industry, Apartments.com and its sister website ApartmentHomeLiving.com marked the first half of the year with record growth.
More telephone and email leads were generated during the second quarter of 2010 than any other quarter in the 12-year history of the company. Compared to the first half of 2009, Apartments.com has increased the number of renter email and telephone leads to its apartment community advertisers by 19%. In addition to the growing number of renters contacting the leasing office, Apartments.com family of websites have also seen a 14% uptick in traffic versus this same time last year.
"The significant level of renter activity on our site throughout the first half of the year is a positive indicator of what's to come," said Kevin Doyle, senior vice president and general manager of Apartments.com. "Based on the growing number of renters engaging with the apartment communities on our site during these first few months of peak rental season, it's clear they are in need of an apartment and ready to rent. As we approach the height of peak rental season, it's important for apartment communities to be online and in front of renters where they are searching."
In addition to searching online, it is apparent renters want easy access to listings on-the-go as Apartments.com has also seen record growth within its mobile sector. Compared to the first half of 2009, visits to Apartments.com via mobile devices increased 117% in 2010, and the number of consumers accessing apartment community information through text messages increased by 250%. Apartments.com is also improving the mobile search experience by being the first Internet Listing Service to provide renters with convenient access to the "Check Availability" feature, allowing renters to view available apartments that they can reserve from the palm of their hand.
While it is not certain that this year-over-year trend will continue, the data suggests consumers are in the market for a new apartment. This is further supported by national survey data fielded in December 2009 by Apartments.com, which revealed renters are planning to move earlier in the year. The survey reported a 15% increase in the number of renters saying they plan to move during the first half of 2010 over the same period in 2009, which is evidenced by the renter activity Apartments.com is currently experiencing on its website.

Needles and Opium
Robert Lepage and Ex Machina
New Zealand Festival
Opera House, Wellington
Until February 24
All Robert Lepages' productions have at their core a quest for personal fulfillment, a striving to comprehend the human condition and attempts to understand the creative process. All these themes are in Needles and Opium his latest work to be seen at the New Zealand Festival.
The play was originally conceived twenty years ago and like all his other shows had never been updated. However for this work actor and collaborator Marc Labreche who performed in the original work, convinced Lepage of the viability of a new take on the show.
Using parallel and intersecting stories of the French playwright and film maker Jean Cocteau, the American jazz musician Miles Davis and a Canadian voice-over artist Lepage constructs a convoluted narrative relating mainly to the two artists but also the French Canadian and his more mundane life
Lepage touches on a whole raft of topics including Cocteau's reaction to his time in America and Miles Davis' impact on the French art scene and his drug addiction.
He explores political and social themes, psychological obsessions and the way their addictions and obsessions can be given an outlet through art. Much of the play deals with issues of creativity, the way that ideas, either drug induced or otherwise, evolve and take form in words or music. Like the two main characters who float through the surreal sets, ideas float through the play suddenly appearing then taking flight or disappearing..
Between the poetic outpourings of Cocteau (Labreche) and the jazz renditions of Miles Davis (Wellesley Robertson III) there are the personal problems and day-to-day events in the life of the French Canadian who has to endure the difficulties of making international phone calls from back street hotels, listening to lovemaking from the room next door and being instructed on French pronunciation by an American film producer.
The scenes and dialogue continually shift from the poetic and philosophical to the mundane with the mundane seeming to take on a philosophical character.
While the dialogue is mesmerizing it is the set which manages to replicate something of the drug induced feelings of euphoria as it changes, tilts and rotates. Technological wizardry is used to create the surreal spaces which morph from one to another in dream-like sequences.
Marc Labreche as Cocteau and the French Canadian gives an extraordinary performance which is by turns dramatic and comic, sometimes managing to combine the two.
Wellesley Robertson III as Miles Davis gives an athletic performance and while he never speaks the sound of the horn and his great timing help provide a real sense of the musical genius.
Both of them manage to do all their acting and playing, seemingly oblivious of their contorting bodies and being strapped into harnesses.
The play may have been written more than twenty years ago but it has a freshness and energy which makes it still relevant today.

EVR2EST helps firefighters during wildfires
July 31, 2012
By Mr. Jason B. Cutshaw, USASMDC/ARSTRAT
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- As western states fought recent wildfires on the ground, a program developed in Huntsville by members of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command's Future Warfare Center helped emergency agencies from above.
Local units have are providing support to wildfires in the Western United States using Eagle Vision. Eagle Vision is a family of deployable, commercial satellite ground stations that collect and process near real-time optical and synthetic aperture radar imagery from commercial satellites. Commercial satellite imagery is processed to agencies using the Eagle Vision and Rover Responsive Exploitation of Space Products for Tactical Use, or EVR2EST -- an initiative that was developed by USASMDC/ARSTRAT.
"It feels pretty rewarding to have a system we designed here at Redstone Arsenal that can affect people on the other side of the country," said Justin Novak, USASMDC/ARSTRAT FWC's Innovative Ventures Office. "It is also rewarding to achieve such a wide utility with this."
EVR2EST is an FWC system developed for Air Force systems to disseminate Eagle Vision Commercial Satellite imagery to remote locations in a timely, bandwidth-efficient manner.
Eagle Vision has processed and distributed approximately 37 square miles of satellite imagery to Colorado fire response authorities. Since June 14, members of the 226th Combat Communication Group located in Huntsville have supported firefighters battling the Waldo Canyon and High Park fires in Colorado. The 226th CCG is also providing Eagle Vision support to fires in New Mexico, Montana and Wyoming, as well as floods in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
"We heard the fires were really, really bad and it was one of the largest and most destructive wildfires in the state's history both in terms of property and life," Novak said. "With the help of our system, they were able to get the products in the hands of responders and local emergency management officials very, very rapidly."
Eagle Vision commercial imagery is unclassified, making it readily shareable and releasable to emergency and first responders. Officials can then use the satellite imagery to efficiently plan and prioritize their actions.
"EVR2EST focuses the response resources where they are needed," Novak said. "So instead of finding the fire when you get there, you already know that information going in so it helps get emergency personnel in the mindset of coming up with a plan and executing that plan. EVR2EST helps support emergency agencies by providing aerial photos of grid searches to help first responders and workers. It also helps direct rescue crews to hard-hit areas without them going to unaffected areas or areas which already have units there.
"It is a huge game-changer because you typically need different software packages," Novak said. "This way, you go to a website, you pull up the image you want and it's there."
Although the current wildfires are the latest use of EVR2EST, it has been used in the past by the Department of Defense in ongoing combat operations and by national emergency agencies to help with Hurricane Katrina, Haiti relief efforts, the tornado outbreak of 2011 as well as many others.

By Mike Dorning
The chief strategists of the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sparred on NBC's Meet the Press this morning over NAFTA, negative campaigning ties to special interest groups--and, especially, when a losing candidate becomes a spoiler.
But Clinton chief stategist Geoff Garin was unable to give a clear response when moderator Tim Russert pressed him on an answer Clinton gave in last Wednesday's debate that appears to commit her administration to a military strike against Iran if that country strikes Israel or even another Arab country in the Middle East.
Garin said that the Clinton campaign would continue through the last primary--and possibly beyond.
"We'll go through to June 3," Garin said, referring to the day of the last primary.
"I think at that point, it will be a very, very close election. Neither candidate's gonna have enough pledged delegates to win the nomination," Garin added.
Garin also suggested that the Clinton's are preparing for a struggle to win the nomination through the votes of superdelegates, even if the former first lady does not prevail among pledged delegates.
"There is more to this process," Garin said. "The superdelegates, as they are called. This is not about a backroom deal. These are people who are elected officials. They are elected party representatives. In the clear light of day, both candidates I think will make a case to them about why they are the best choice for the party and the country."
Obama chief strategist David Axelrod said he does not dispute Clinton's determination to remain in the contest as long as she has "a reasonable chance."
But, Axelrod added, "If the strategy ultimately becomes 'We can't win the delegate count. We really can't win the nomination on the legit. So we're going to apply the kitchen-sink strategy and tear down Senator Obama and see if we can destroy him in order to advance our own candidacy,' that is damaging, that is bad for the party.
Garin was unable to answer when Russert pressed him on the possibility that Clinton intended in a debate answer she gave to commit the U.S. to a military campaign against Iran if it made a military strike against Arab countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Jordan.
Russert quoted Clinton's answer in the debate, "I think we should be looking to create an umbrella of deterrence that goes much further than just Israel. Of course, I would make it clear to the Iranians that an attack on Israel would incur massive retaliation from the United States. But I would do the same with other countries in the region."
"To my ear," Russert continued, "that's suggesting that if Iran invaded or attacked Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Senator Clinton would use U.S. troops and U.S. military power against Iran.
Garin said that Clinton would "take the appropriate steps" against Iran if the country attacked a Middle Eastern state.
"At the moment, I believe that Senator Clinton believes--and many other experts--that Iran is the greatest threat to the stability of the Middle East," Garin responded.
But, when pressed, Garin begged off on a definitive answer, even as he suggested that Russert's interpretation was correct.
"Tim, I want to be totally honest here," Garin said. "I am helping Senator Clinton with her message. I am not her policy adviser. But I think what she is saying is that Iran is a threat. Iran has to know that we take it seriously as a threat. And we're not going to sit by idly as it gains nuclear strength and gains power in part because of the failures of this administration. And we're not going to sit idly by and let them attack other countries militarily."

Assad accused of violating U.N. peace plan; Russia and China expected to block actionDeck xxxxx xxxx xxx xxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxx
PARIS Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Thursday for the U.N. Security Council to adopt an arms embargo and other tough measures against Syria to try to halt 13 months of bloodshed, but she acknowledged such diplomatic actions would likely be vetoed.
Clinton's comments to Western and Arab diplomats from the so-called "Friends of Syria" group came as the head of the United Nations accused Syrian President Bashar Assad of failing to honor a peace plan that went into effect a week ago.
In a transcript of her remarks on the State Department's website, Clinton stopped short of calling for outside military intervention in Syria — something there is little to no foreign appetite for — but said it was time to impose more consequential measures on Assad's regime.
"We have to keep Assad off balance by leaving options on the table," she told the gathering of 16 top diplomats.
Clinton's address suggested the U.S. wanted the "Friends of Syria" group to more actively consider contingency plans if the peace plan by U.N. and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan fell apart. Although U.S. policy has amounted to an acknowledgment that Assad is unlikely to be dislodged, the U.N. resolution Clinton seeks could strengthen Syrian rebels fighting his regime.
"We need to start moving very vigorously in the Security Council for a Chapter 7 sanctions resolution, including travel, financial sanctions, an arms embargo, and the pressure that will give us on the regime to push for compliance with Kofi Annan's six-point plan," Clinton said, referring to a resolution under the U.N. Charter that would be militarily enforceable.
Any attempt to push for U.N. sanctions on Syria would likely meet resistance from Syrian allies Russia and China, which hold vetoes in the Security Council. Moscow and Beijing have already twice shielded Syria from U.N. sanctions over Assad's crackdown on a popular uprising that is estimated to have left 9,000 people dead and led refugees to pour into neighboring countries.
Clinton said she'd laid out the case for Security Council action earlier Thursday to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, whom she said "has recognized that we are not in a static situation but a deteriorating one."
At the Paris meeting, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said the "Friends of Syria" group believes Annan's plan is the "last chance" for Syria to avoid civil war.

text: Gr 5-7--In illustrating the political system that dominated South Africa for more than 40 years, Koosmann focuses on rural poverty and the system of internal passes controlling movement, education, and the reasons for white support of the policy. Her examination of the resistance movement begins with a description of the nonviolent "Defiance Campaign against Unjust Laws" of 1952 and ends with a brief account of post-apartheid South Africa. The author provides a human perspective by focusing on the experiences of a few individuals. Though the information is mostly accurate, there are some omissions and inaccuracies. First, the period of the 1980s is dealt with in a vague way, and the United Democratic Front, an organization central to the success of the anti-apartheid struggle, is not even mentioned. In addition, even though the Rivonia trial (at which Mandela was sentenced) is discussed in some detail, Koosmann does not mention the racial diversity of the accused group. Repeated design elements, intended to create consistency, result in unnecessarily small photographs and confusing page layouts. There is careful footnoting but the "Timeline in History," which attempts to place events in a global context, does not include enough detail to be helpful.--Sue Giffard, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York City[Page 174].

Murder-rape suspect removed monitor in 1 min.
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Federal authorities say a man charged with killing a woman and raping her 10-year-old daughter after a carjacking at a New York mall last week was able to remove and reassemble his court-ordered electronic monitoring bracelet within a minute before carrying out the attacks.
Authorities say he removed and reassembled the bracelet so quickly that it may have prompted what appeared to be a false alarm or the alarm may have gone undetected for hours.
It was almost five hours before the Colorado company monitoring the bracelet notified court officers in Syracuse. Officers had told the company not to notify them of brief interruptions of monitor signals because they were getting alerts when they simply hit against something.
Twenty-nine-year-old David Renz has been charged with murder, rape and kidnapping.

Thus, at two, we're middle-aged. We've seen many, many blogs launched after we launched ours, and we've seen a fair number of those close up shop, while we labor on.
We have a question for someone with access to the data: What percentage of legal bloggers stop publishing within 12 months of launching a new blog?
We don't know the answer to that, but we bet it's like small businesses -- most fail within a year.
First, as we've said before, blogging is hard, hard work. It's not easy to maintain an active legal practice by day and find time at night for massive "recreational" writing. Try writing five or six shorts articles a week (which is what we've averaged) for just one week. Think about what that would feel like for three months. And now imagine what we're celebrating today -- two years cranking out posts at that pace.
(Hey, Bexis -- You're right! We're nuts! What in God's name are we doing?
Shut up, Herrmann -- and keep typing.)
Second, it's hard to find an audience in the increasingly competitive blogosphere. A successful legal blog needs both a niche and a voice. If you pick the wrong niche, no one will visit.
And if you pick the wrong voice -- which means none at all (if your blog is published by committee), too breezy, or too pompous and bureaucratic -- you'll quickly lose your blaudience.
It's no surprise that new bloggers are quickly discouraged. They're spending nights and weekends drafting blog posts, but no one's reading them. It takes time, and luck, to build a readership.
And us?
Thanks for asking.
We attracted between 25,000 and 30,000 pageviews in the last month, depending on how you count the folks who subscribe through our Google e-mail group (over there in the righthand column).
When we started our little experiment, almost all of our traffic came through our most recent post, whatever topic it discussed. Now that we've basically built, over time, an on-line encyclopedia of drug and device law, we see far more folks doing research on the web and entering the blog through one of our older posts.
Finally, the highlights of our second year:
L'Affaire Berenson. What could be better than that?
Proposing a way of looking at the "change being effected" (or "CBE") process, and then seeing that idea codified in a new regulation. That's pretty cool.
Watching the reach of our blog spread -- on the web, in scholarly legal publications, and in the popular press. She's our baby, and we love to see her grow.
And, finally, you. We've met an awful lot of people -- some on-line, some in person -- as a result of our experiment, and we've both enjoyed meeting you and learned from you.
So, thank you.
And, if our strength holds out, we'll survive our terrible twos and be back to celebrate another anniversary on October 30, 2009.
Heaven help us.

Joins other cities to make sure information, services get to families that need them
LEMON GROVE In May 2010, when the San Diego County Grand Jury called for regional homelessness solutions, Lemon Grove City Councilman George Gastil knew he wanted to get involved.
By November 2011, the county had started a "Keys to Housing" coalition that included San Diego City Councilman Todd Gloria as chairman, La Mesa Mayor Art Madrid and Gastil. Its main focus: To eliminate family homelessness in San Diego County by 2020.
It took a little time for the Lemon Grove City Council to officially show its support for reducing family homelessness, but on Sept. 3 the five-member group unanimously endorsed an initiative from Keys to Housing called the Toolbox to End Family Homelessness.
The council agreed on seven action items:
• To support the annual point-in-time count of the homeless by announcing opportunities to volunteer.
• To support regional efforts by providing families with school-aged children information about outreach efforts and alerting them about locations that help low-income families enroll in MediCal services.
• To endorse the creation of a "rolling registry" of unsheltered people in Lemon Grove by encouraging community groups to provide support to the effort.
• To help disseminate information by referring people to websites such as RTFHSD.org or KeystoHousing.org.
• To promote the preservation of at-risk housing units and naturally affordable housing options in the community by distributing information about resources that provide support. (Homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services have proved effective in preventing and ending homelessness for nearly 2,000 households in the San Diego region, according to a report from City Manager Graham Mitchell.)
• To endorse the development of rapid re-housing opportunities to minimize the length of time households spend homeless by providing a letter of need/support for applications for federal assistance.
• To encourage low-income household participation in mainstream resources by providing referral information at Lemon Grove facilities and on the city's website.
No one was more pleased than Gastil, who watched as other cities weighed in and approved the toolbox, some without a thorough vetting. Gastil said that while he was initially anxious that the city was taking its time in developing a way to endorse the initiative, in the final analysis, he was pleased that Lemon Grove took its time and looked at it more closely.
Gastil said the city still needs to work with the rest of the county to help displaced families in need. The city had 20 unsheltered homeless people in the most recent Regional Task Force on the Homeless count.
"I think it's tremendous, it's the first time we've said we'll all do something about family homelessness," Gastil said. "It's a modest proposal, sure. We're not asking for the moon, but this is a responsibility, and it is a problem that we have to work on. I'm very excited. We got some things going that are real nice, and for a small city like us, that's good."
The U.S. Interagency Council on the Homeless has established a goal of ending family homelessness by 2020.

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Synonyms: DIMBOA biosynthesis
|Biosynthesis → Secondary Metabolites Biosynthesis
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Aphelandra squarrosa, Coix lacryma-jobi, Triticum aestivum, Zea mays
Expected Taxonomic Range: Magnoliophyta
General Background
Benzoxazinoids were identified in the early 1960s as secondary metabolites of the grasses (including the major agricultural crops maize ( Zea mays), wheat ( Triticum aestivum), and rye ( Secale cereale)) that function as natural pesticides and exhibit allelopathic properties [Barnes87, Sicker00]. Benzoxazinoids are synthesized in two subfamilies of the Poaceae and sporadically in single species of the dicots [Frey09]. They play an important role in defense against pests such as insects, pathogenic fungi and bacteria [Niemeyer88]. The most common benzoxazinoids are DIBOA and DIMBOA.
Since the aglycone benzoxazinoids are autotoxic, they are stored in glucosylated forms that have reduced chemical reactivity [Sicker00]. The glucosides are stored in the vacuoles [Osbourn96]. This allows the plants to store the toxic compounds in anticipation of pathogen attacks, prompting the suggestion to name these compounds "phytoanticipins".
For the sythesis of DIBOA-β-D-glucoside, please see DIBOA-glucoside biosynthesis.
About This Pathway
While DIBOA is the main benzoxazinoid in some plants, including barley, in most other benzoxazinoid-producing plants, such as maize, DIBOA-β-D-glucoside is further converted to DIMBOA-β-D-glucoside [Frey09] by a two-step hydroxylation/methylation at position C7, catalyzed by Bx6 and Bx7, respectively [Jonczyk08].
In addition, DIMBOA-β-D-glucoside has been reported to be further methylated in maize into HMDBOA-glucoside [Oikawa02]. HMDBOA-glucoside is relatively lipophilic amongst benzoxazinoid glucosides, a property that may affect its absorption by pathogens at the site of interaction [Oikawa02]. A number of defense reaction elicitors (chitin and chitosan fragments, heavy metal ions such as copper and jasmonic acid) have been shown to lead to the production of HDMBOA-glucoside in wheat, maize and Job's Tears plants [Oikawa01, Oikawa02].

Welcome to St. James Episcopal Church
St. James' Mission Statement – As a christian community, St. James' mission is ministering in God's love to the spiritual and physical needs of all people in the name of Christ.
We are a parish of The Episcopal Church in the United States of America and the Diocese of Mississippi. Our Bishop is the Right Reverend Brian R. Seage. The Episcopal Church is part of a worldwide communion of Anglican churches. Our history is rooted in the Church of England and we look to the Archbishop of Canterbury for Communion leadership. St. James was established in Greenville in 1869 and we welcome you to walk with us in whatever stage of certainty or doubt you find yourself. We are a people whose life finds its source and meaning in Holy Baptism, through which we all are adopted as God's children, and by which we become members of Christ's holy and universal Church. The vows we take at baptism commit us to a radical love of God, of each other, and of all who might need us. Each Sunday we gather for Holy Eucharist, a ritual meal that binds us together in Christ's love and strengthens us to take that love into the world. We seek and affirm the broadest kind of diversity in our membership and we welcome all baptized persons to the holy table.
New Member Information
If you wish to join our Church but you have not been baptized, you may speak to the minister about instruction for your baptism into the body of Christ. If you are a member of another church, you may have your present membership transferred to St. James from another Episcopal church; or you may speak to the minister about membership in the Episcopal Church.
All newcomers are invited to participate in any program of St. James. There are opportunities for people of every age to learn, grow, and meet others who are seeking to deepen their faith and connect with others. You may have your name added to our mailing list to receive our newsletter which includes information about our church programs.
If you are a member of another church and you work or live in the city temporarily, we encourage you to worship with us and join in our life as fully as you wish.
Message from the Rector
On behalf of the people of St. James, welcome. Thank you for your interest in St. James. I myself am a newcomer at St. James and the Delta in general, but already my family and I love it here. Our experience with the folks at St. James has been wonderful, and I am sure yours will be, too. Please come by to join us in our worship services and other offerings through the week. We'd love to have you. May God bless you and keep you in your journey.
– Fr. Brandt+

Rainforest & Reef Vacation Sweepstakes Essay#34
OK I have a confession: as a form of relaxation I plan vacations I want to take but usually never take. I plan them down to every last detail. My latest obsession is Belize. The trip I planned included a stay at Chaa Creek and a trip to the reef's of Belize. I researched every Eco lodge in Belize (and many in Costa Rica) and Chaa Creek came up at the very top.
Not many seem to have the mix of amenities with on-sight activities that Chaa Creek has. I am into bird watching and the birding seems great. My husband is drawn to the kayaking. We both are drawn to the Mayan ruin tours. In college while getting my Anthropology degree I studied with a Mayan Shaman and she taught us Mayan Calendrics. My husband told me he didn't want to go on another Caribbean vacation where we lay on a beach and drink tropical drinks, he gets too bored by this.
His idea of a great vacation is an adventure that includes hiking and kayaking. I love outdoor activities but I work 60 hour weeks as a film editor and I need a nice tropical drink by a pool and a massage included in my idea of the perfect vacation. Ahh birding by the pool with a drink seems nice. I have my Zeiss bins ready to go. Chaa Creek is unique in that it will satisfy us both.
We both love snorkeling and many jungle lodge destinations such as Costa Rica, you have no access to that. Another thing that is important to us is supporting a lodge that protects such a large piece of land in the rain forest. Ecotourism may be the only hope for the rainforest.
Chaa Creek is a rare gem in that we can get relaxation and adventure in a vacation all with a social concious.

Can I still have midwife and a water birth ?
I really want a natural birth with a midwife, but I'm not sure if they will take me. I keep doing research on the subject but have found no real overweight women having these types of births. FYI I'm 6weeks pregnant, 5'7'', 250 lbs starting out. Also is having a water birth better for the baby, I keep hearing the babies come out more relaxed.

Noone here can answer your question for you because we aren't doctors, and we are all different. You need to speak with your own midwife, or team of midwives if you see different ones within the same practice. I will say however that your weight alone puts you at higher risk for gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, eclampsia, preterm labor and delivery, etc., and all those things can have an effect on your course of treatment during pregnancy, what happens during labor and your mode of delivery. Best of luck to you sweetie; wishing you a happy and healthy nine months! :)posted 04/10/2011 by mommy123104
As per Mommy123104 - I agree, different institutions have different regulations when it comes to water births. I have heard good and bad things about water births - it's a personal choice. My advice since (not to sound mean) your weight will be a major factor, get an opinion from a Gyno, not just a midwife. They are specialist for a reason! As the previous poster stated - preterm labor is a possibility which in turn would mean that the baby would possibly need Neonatal ICU care - I'm not telling you this to scare you but it's a reality. Personally, I have always been in great shape before I fell pregnant with each of my 4 children, unfortunately I'm prone to preterm labor - my 1st three babies were born at 36 weeks and my 4th was born 10 months ago at 32 weeks. The doctors told me not to even consider the "home water birth thing" as the risk was simply too high - thank goodness I took their advice. After 5 days in Neonatal ICU she came home. Good Luck & God Bless :-)posted 04/11/2011 by lynettef1
I am almost 200 lbs and i Have a midwife and planning on having a homebirth with a birthing tub! talk to your midwife. they will check up with you every month to make sure you arent high risk! I believe that anything is possible and i honestly believe that home births are the best method!posted 04/26/2011 by shawnnalm

LIMA, Ohio - It's the "shoulda, woulda, coulda" that can create chaos in the manufacturing industry where just one missed quality check can spell disaster. Fortunately, Lima Engine Plant's (LEP) latest employee of the month, Mike Rager, isn't about to let that happen.
Rager's normal inspection for water pump porosity was anything but normal on Jan. 9 when he noticed a "non clean-up" condition. The block in question was rejected and the foundry representative and area process engineer further reviewed the issue.
A determination was then made that the ZZ locator, which is used to position the center of the block for machining, was not machined in the proper position by the cuber.
"If Mike hadn't caught it, the block would have gone through being machined as normal," said Senior Process Coach Alex Tellez, who nominated Rager for the recognition. "The piston bores have seal sleeves and if offset that piston bore sleeve to where it was very thin-walled on one side and thick on the other. If that gets through, it probably would have caused a failure at 40,000 to 50,000 miles, or it may have just heated the engine up right away."
After Rager discovered the defect, the block supplier was contacted and a list of 101 potential defective blocks were loaded into the block line. Additionally, a global quarantine was issued to locate all suspects blocks, some of which had already been through assembly and shipped to B&A. Six of the motors had already been placed in vehicles.
"Quality and monetarily, we would have had to replace all those motors and of course customer satisfaction was an issue," Tellez said, adding "Nobody wants to be out in the middle of the road and have their engine blow up and be stuck out there."
LEP Plant Manager Mike Felix thanked Rager for his attention to detail and focus on building quality engines.
"This was a major concern for us and a great catch by Mike," Felix said, adding "had he not caught this, we could have been looking at multiple engine failures in the hands of our customers, so it truly is a great job."
