People like to hear stories about how rich the land was prior to settlement. We marvel at the great populations of plants and animals that lived in our forests, prairies, rivers and streams. So much of the history of wildlife conservation is the story of abundance.
Flocks of passenger pigeons along the Mississippi River Valley grew so large they filled the sky with a continuous stream of birds for several days. Wintering prairie-chicken flocks on the high ridges of north Missouri were so numerous they appeared to stand shoulder to shoulder as far as a person could see. Wild turkeys were "too abundant to be worthy of mention." Photos and news stories from river towns like Hermann documented the "monster catfish" that lived in the Missouri River.
But the stories of abundance are mostly history. The lands and waters witnessed by Lewis and Clark have changed and continue to change.
Passenger pigeons are now gone—extinct. Elk had been eliminated from Missouri by the 1860s—extirpated. Greater prairie-chicken populations in Missouri have dwindled to a few hundred individuals—endangered.
A Changing World
Everyday the world around us is less and less wildlife friendly. Robins and white-tailed deer have proven adaptable and common. Although some species have readily adapted to people and life in a world that is less wild, most plants and animals have not, and are not expected to thrive. Many plants and animals are simply not that adaptable.
The challenge that lies ahead for Missouri citizens and the Department is how, and where, to conserve a representation of fish and wildlife diversity in a dramatically changing world. That is why one of the strategic goals of the Missouri Department of Conservation is "Conserving Plants, Animals and their Habitats." Plants and animals that are extinct cannot be restored. But it is not too late for many extirpated species—species that are gone from Missouri but still live elsewhere.
"Recovery" for extirpated species is almost never a plan to restore these species to their former range and restore them to former abundance. Restoration for many species is to support small populations in the best places for success, preventing the need for listing them as endangered. Elk, for example, were once found throughout Missouri prior to European settlement. Historical accounts indicate elk were likely extirpated from the state by 1865. In October 2010 the Conservation Commission approved a plan to bring as many as 150 elk to a defined restoration zone in parts

Zombie mod 2143 (.5)
Zombie mod 2143 is a mod inspired by the deathbybinary BF2 zombie mod. The year is 2143. PAC leaders have reached th conclusion that the EU would wipe them out if something wasn't done, and fast. So, as a last ditch effort, they created a injection for their soldiers to make them more powerful. It didn't. The battlefield was soon filled with soldiers hungry for flesh and blood. The PAC leaders where not ready for this, and were overpowered by the soldiers who had been infected. The EU and many civilians have called this a plague or a infection. Now its up to all the EU soldiers to defend themselves and civilians from this new and deadly threat. Enter 2143. The fate of the world is on the shoulders of you and your fellow men... Now is your time to fight!

Would use again! For future customers, just be prepared to have your car picked up in the timeframe you put in without much of a notice. Driver overall got my car to the right place and without damage, so I am happy about that.

Charles, the driver who picked my vehicle up from st Louis and delivered it to little rock did a commendable job of accommodating my change in pick up place. He was very efficient and kept me informed about the ETA for both delivery and pick up. Excellent job!
Poster: Jennifer
I called and asked for a 2 day pickup for my car and the company accommodated my request. The drivers were very nice and left me with a warm feeling that my vehicle would be fine. The driver called me every step of the way. I will definitely use this company again! Thanks Jessica and my driver Jody.

J D Transportation from Las Vegas picked my car, driver Boris and dispatcher Lucy were really nice and helpfull. I am looking to buy another car. I will absolutely use these guys again. And I can recommed then to everybody. No hidden charges.
Poster: Donna
The whole process from the beginning to the end went well. No problems. The driver was very nice and prompt. However, my daughter or myself did not receive a 24hour call prior to picking up the vehicle in Tempe. The driver apoligized and did give my daughter till the next am to get the car ready and make it available for her to go to work. Overall, my experience with your company and drive was very good and would book again. Thank you.

On time, very fast service. Will definitely consider you again. Low price ($375) although I had one bid at $350 that arrived after making contact with you. Driver was courteous and the whole thing was a nice smooth transaction. Really couldn't ask for anything more! Driver was "Big Rig Transport". Ordered Saturday, Car picked up Tuesday morning, car delivered Wednesday 8AM on time.

I forgot my drivers name but he was the man! Very happy with him and bc of that your company! Thank you
Poster: Karen
I had dealt with another transport company to try and set up this vehicle move. I was skeptical for several reasons and decided to try a different company. It is a little unsettling to have someone transport your vehicle and really, it is a shot in the dark. I was extremely satisfied with several aspects of dealing with your company. First of all, when I called, I actually spoke to a person instead of getting voice mail. Secondly, the person I spoke with was very knowledgable, professional and patient with my many questions. I also like the fact that I was able to pay my deposit with a credit card, making me feel more secure. The driver was prompt, curteous and efficient. I would use this company again and would highly recommend it.

Competitive rates, honest, timely, and professional people. Overall excellent service... Thx, -PT Denver, CO

The only negative was the section of your website suggesting that the driver be "tipped" before even starting the job. I found that offensive and rude. We did tip our driver but only once the car was delivered in good order. You might consider re-writing that portion of your website so that it does not appear that you are suggesting your clients need to "bribe" their driver in order to receive good service. The driver was courteous and prompt she did a good job picking up and delivering our vehicle.
Poster: Katie
Our first moving company was a nightmare, so we asked our family for a better alternative. Direct Express was highly suggested and rightly so, they were amazing. The day after I submitted our request online we had an e-mail stating that a truck was available to pick up our vehicle. The truck picked up our car on Sunday and I had the car Wednesday morning. The gentleman who ped off the car was very friendly and courteous. I can't believe that Direct Express was able to turn a horrible car moving experience(with another company) into an awesome, stress-free process. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know who is having a vehicle transported!!

It was a very pleasant experience working with auto transport.

My vehicle was shipped from California to Oklahoma. All of the people associated with Direct Express were very professional and courteous. The vehicle arrived on time and in good condition. They were also very competitive in their pricing. I would definitely recommend Direct Express and use them again.

Order # 108283-My entire experience with Direct Express Auto Transport was very positive. From their web-site and on the phone with Ashley, all my questions were answered and I felt very safe with my transaction. Ashley was informative and let me know what to expect. My driver, Roger, with Striker Serv. was outstanding and stayed in-touch with me. It only took three days after placing my order, for Roger to pick-up my family car in Ohio, on Wed. afternoon. He delivered my 93 Cadillac to me, in Fl. on Saturday afternoon, at exactly the time he told me he would. It happened so quickly that my entire family was amazed. I highly recommend this fantastic company and I know that for me and my family, this was the perfect choice. It was so worth the $750, and the peace of mind that they gave me, helped me to be able to cope with the loss of my beloved brother. Thanks so much.

The driver called me to schedule a pick up one day before the first available day. So I change my schedule to accommodate him. Then, five minutes before the window for him to pickup the car, he calls and says he can't come until the next day. I understand things happen, but he should have known way earlier that he couldn't make it that day. Then, when he gets to my city, he makes no effort to come closer to my house. Other than those issues, the service was good.

The car was scheduled to be picked up, and was picked up 2 days after my calling the company to make arrangements. The pick-up driver was very courteous, explained everything that he was doing with the car. On departure, the car was in excellent condition, and arrived the same way. I would definitely use this carrier again. The cost was $1175.Order# 108281 Willis, Texas to Olympia, Washington Brendan Love

I had tried shipping with another company first and after a month they had still failed to pickup my truck. I contacted auto transport direct and my truck was picked up within 48 hours. Delivered within 5 days in good condition for the agreed upon price. Very happy.
Poster: John
We received NO advanced notice (less than 30 minutes), the truck was picking up the car. The person at the transport company in Indianapolis was very rude and condescending to deal with on the phone. He called me loudly stating to me that the driver had been trying to reach my daughter and could not. He was blaming us for holding up his truck for more than an hour. The driver told my daughter he had been trying to call her for less than 30 minutes. The person in Indianapolis said the driver had been trying to contact my daughter for close to 2 hours. The driver said he had not been calling my daughter for 2 hours. The driver was very polite, freindly, and great to deal with on the phone and in person. The person in Indianapolis should not be dealing with your customers. There should be a method of arranging pick-ups with more notice than 30 minutes. People work, they are outside, they could be in the shower, etc. There needs to be a better communication loop on pick-up. Droppng off is not such a big deal because you know the vehicle is in transit to you and you can estimate the arrival for planning purposes.

This was the easiest thing I did while moving cross country. Direct express was efficient and Skyline was professional, communicative and prompt. My expectations were exceeded and the entire process was seamless. They kept in communication with me and were flexible with my needs.

Kevin was very nice; you offered the cheapest price at $750, and the pickup and delivery were exceptionally fast. Great work, I'd recommend you without reserve.

Driver was curteous, left phone number to call back so we could check on arrival time. Driver also returned calls and let us know when traffic slowed him down. Delivery time was actually a little early than the driver's initial estimate which was great for us! Car was in excellent condition upon delivery. Overall a very good experience.

Online ordering was flawless. Talked with rep from company. Very service oriented. Exceeded expectations. The driver for the transport company should get a raise. He's the reason that I will use Direct Express again. Clearly, DE works only with the best transport companies out there. This is a car transport company that you can use without worry or concern.

The first driver that was dispatched was very unreliable (Reggie) he called w/one hours notice of when he wanted to pick up the vehicle. I worked it out, even though it was in the middle of the day and I was at work, to have someone at the house to release the vehicle. After I had arranged for the vehicle to be picked up w/in such little time/notice, I tried, repeatedly (left him about 5 messages) to reach Reggie, but he wouldn't even pick up the phone and never called me back. That was on Friday and I had only called and given my deposit that morning, so I was impressed that it was dispatched so quickly (even though the driver ped the ball). The following Monday, I received a call that the car would be picked up (again, I was impressed by the early pick up date). The driver, Brett, was FABULOUS! He was very kind and honest and always answered my calls (unlike the 1st driver). He was on time and kept in touch to discuss details/arrangements for both pick up and delivery, which was very important to me considering I live in one state, had the car picked up in another and then delivered to a 3rd state. :O The staff at direct was great, answering any and all of my questions professionally and courteously. I had read horror stories online about other transport companies; after reviewing Direct and reading other customer comments I felt very comfortable using them. Another appealing factor is that you give them a deposit and the balance is paid when the vehicle is delivered. Again, I read way too many horror stories about another company that demanded the entire fee upfront and then never came through w/picking up or delivering the car!!! Also, Direct's price was about $65- less than the other (horrible) company I had investigated. The reviews stated that the customers were promised a discount (I think 10%?), but most of them never got it and if they did get it, it was only after they were required to go online and give them a 5 star review!!! I don't usually write reviews, but this was a big decision/move for me, that went extremely smooth, and I hope to help someone else going through the same process and give them peace of mind about using this company. Thanks to everyone @ Direct! :)

Ref Order # 106834 The overall experience from the time I made the request to delivery and communication was very good to excellent. The pick up occurred the earliest day I requested and delivery was made from Northern Va to southwest Florida within two days of the date the car was picked up. The driver of the car carrier, contacted me a day in advance and also the day of the arrival and kept me advised a couple of times on the day of arrival regarding his specific arrival time. He was very courteous and friendly. The car arrived in excellent condition. The cost was not the least expensive, but very competitive non the less. The cost, BBB rating, plus the quality of customer service compared to other car carriers I spoke to made my decision to go with Direct Express. Based on my experience I would use them again and recommend them to others.

My order number was 107753. Driver picked up my car on a Tuesday and had it to me by Saturday! All the way from Wa to IN. Only charged $850 was the cheapest quote I recieved. Troy was a great driver and got my precious cargo (2000 honda civic SI) to my very safe and still in great condition. Awesome Service. He got my car to me on time if not it was just a bit early. but that was totally fine with me. Would definitely reccomend and use again if needed. Thank You!

Unfortunately, my car was on the bottom part of the transport. The vehicle above was leaking oil onto my car. So now I have to get it cleaned and hopefully it will come out. Thanks Gus
Poster: Caroline
We'll be using your service again to ship the same car back to California in the fall. The car arrived safely and was picked up faster than the last time we shipped it. Our only problem was that the driver did not speak much English and it was a real problem to negotiate a place for him to deliver the car as we could not communicate well and he went to a place other than we thought we had agreed upon and it took about an hour to find each other though we were only a mile apart, and he was quite frustrated. But, the safety of the car and the timeliness of the trasnport are far more important to us than a small hassle.

Everything went exactly as stated to me. Timing was great and the car arrived in a great condition. Thanks!

The driver and center point of contact were very friendly and professor. My car was picked-up and delivered in the great condition and in a timely manner.

I had a great experience overall. My driver provided excellent service. My only suggestion is that it would have been helpful to have more advance notice of when the driver would be available to pick up my vehicle. The pickup ended up working out very well for me, and my driver was great, but after the initial order confirmation, I did not hear anything until the day before my pickup. Given what was a very busy schedule surrounding my cross-country move, it would have been reassuring to have heard about scheduling further in advance. Thanks for your help.

Good job.I will use your service again in the future and help to spread the words out. Thanks......

photos by: asubtleapproach*
I feel like I haven't really dressed for fall, hence this spring-y looking outfit…. this L.A weather doesn't call for any
layering right now so I'm forced to wear light clothes because it's still hot. I won't complain because well…i kinda love it.
Found these perfect military cargo shorts over the weekend and I'm completely obsessed, I also scored some cargo
pants that I'm excited to wear and show you guys! I think If I could, I would wear cargo's everyday, they're soooo
classic and versatile, and I can put together a different look everyday in them, they're THAT dope.
What's your classic piece that you can just wear over and over again?
ps. truly, madly, deeply in love with polka dots, lace + cargos.
Definitely my 3 most favorite things to wear.

Fire crews are keeping an eye on the Pains Bay wildfire after several flare-ups the past few days which are creating smoky conditions.
Officials say one flare-up, west of Pamlico Road on the sound side of US Highway 264, has reached a size of over 110 acres and is putting off a sizable amount of smoke.
Fire Management Officer Tom Crews commented, "We've gotten several calls from folks who are worried the Pains Bay Fire may take off again. We certainly want to assure people that we are monitoring the fire, and we're aware it is burning in that area. But, the location of this flare-up is completely surrounded by 'black' or water. It's really unlikely the fire could escape under these conditions."
In addition to the flare-up described above, there are also two areas of ground fire closer to Stumpy Point, but on the south side of the bay. There are approximately 10 acres of ground fire at this location.
The Pains Bay Fire was first reported on May 5, burned 45,294 acres, and was declared 100% contained more than a month ago. The fire is not expected to be controlled until the areas receives 4-6" of rain. Until that time, officials say monitoring will continue.

2013 Eagles failed to seize fleeting opportunity
McCoy: 'Just getting here is not enough'
Chip Kelly's Eagles were the hottest team in the NFL, and they were less than five minutes from moving onto the divisional round. And then they gave it all away. (AP)
It's easy to shrug off the Eagles' latest playoff loss as just a bump in the road for a young, ascending team with a bright future.
Too easy.
Because when you take the lead with less than five minutes left in a playoff game in your own stadium with your crowd roaring and all the momentum on your side, you just can't lose that game. No matter how many young players you have, no matter how bright your future is.
Because you just never know when you're going to get that opportunity again.
When the Eagles kicked off with 4:58 to go Saturday night, leading the Saints 24-23, they were no longer a precocious young team playing with house money. They were the hottest team in the NFL, five minutes from being two steps from the Super Bowl.
And they blew it.
The Eagles went from 4-12 to 10-6, won the division, reached the playoffs, seemingly righted the franchise after two dismal seasons.
All of which guarantees them nothing in 2014 and beyond.
Success in 2013 doesn't automatically mean success in 2014, and while it might be reassuring to shrug off that loss to the Saints with the notion that the Eagles do have a promising young quarterback and an impressive coach and an array of offensive weapons and several terrific, young defensive players, the reality is that next year stands alone. Players change, circumstances change, team chemistry changes. You don't pick up where you left off. You start over like 31 other teams, and that's why so many NFL teams routinely go from worst to first and back again year by year.
Absolutely, it genuinely does look like the Eagles are going to be competitive for the next several years, there's no question about it. But when the opportunity is sitting right there in front of you, so agonizingly close, you can't squander that chance.
If you said back in August that the Eagles would go 10-6 and lose in the wild-card round, everybody around here would have been thrilled.
But when that moment arrives and you have the lead and you just need to cover a kickoff and get a defensive stop to reach the second round of the playoffs, expectations change.
And even though the Eagles certainly do appear to be building the right way and headed in the right direction, the reality is that none of us really has any idea what's going to happen next.
This year guarantees nothing next year, and I'm not trying to be negative or spoil the mood or throw rain on anybody's parade -- pick your cliche. I'm not saying the Eagles won't have tremendous success in the next few years under Chip Kelly.
It's just you can't squander these opportunities. They come along too infrequently, and sometimes they don't come along at all.
A lot of things went right for the Eagles this year. They stayed healthy. They were the only NFL team that didn't place anybody on injured reserve during the regular season. They got Scott Tolzien instead of Aaron Rodgers, Kyle Orton instead of Tony Romo, Jay Cutler instead of Josh McCown.
They got Mike Glennon before he started playing well, and the Lions as they started their epic slide.
And they took advantage of those opportunities, so bravo for them. But you look at next year's schedule and see the Colts, Packers, Panthers, 49ers, Cards and Seahawks, and that looks pretty rough. Now, maybe those teams won't be any good next year. But on paper, the schedule is certainly imposing.
This year, Nick Foles, DeSean Jackson, DeMeco Ryans, LeSean McCoy, Brandon Boykin, Brent Celek and Mychal Kendricks all stayed healthy. So did the entire offensive line, with three guys in their 30s.
Does that happen again? Does sports science guarantee an entire season with no significant injuries other than Jeremy Maclin in training camp? Maybe. Maybe not.
It's all about seizing the moment.
The moment was there for the Eagles. Right there. You battle back from down 20-7, take a late fourth-quarter lead, you're five minutes from the conference semifinals, an opportunity to travel to Charlotte and play for a berth in the NFC Championship Game.
The Eagles were as hot as anybody coming into the Saints game, winners of seven of their last eight. They were favored. They had the home crowd, the home stadium. Everything was in place.
No matter how good next year looks, next year is just a mirage right now. That 24-23 lead was real. And then it was gone.
Jason Kelce spoke typically eloquently about the blown opportunity Saturday night in the Eagles' locker room after the game.
"I think we have great potential," he said. "I think we grew a lot as a team as the season wore on.
"But, you know, you can't help but be disappointed. I don't think there's anybody leaving this locker room all excited because we had a good turnaround.
"There were things we could have done to win today, and the opportunities you get in the postseason, the opportunities you get in the NFL, especially as a player, are so short, the careers don't last too long, and you try to seize every one you get and we didn't seize the day here.
"No matter how bright the next year looks, next year is always a different year."
You never do know when you're going to get back. In 2000, the Eagles felt like they were at the start of something big, and they were. They went to the playoffs five straight years.
But they felt the same way during the Super Bowl run in 2004, and they won just one playoff game the next three years. Same way in 2008 with a run to the NFC Championship Game. They haven't won a playoff game since.
No doubt the Eagles are headed in the right direction with young talent on both sides of the ball, a coach who clearly gets it, a front office that's produced two very good drafts in a row and a gifted young quarterback.
But some things are just out of a team's control. Other teams get better. Unexpected stars emerge within the division. Guys get hurt. Games get postponed because of snow and Joe Webb shows up. The ball bounces funny.
Things happen.
And you really never do know what's going to happen next.
That's why this one hurts so much.

Colorado Springs Player Wins $200,000 Powerball Prize
DENVER – The most Myra Steffey had won on a Colorado Lottery Powerball ticket was $6. That was until she matched five numbers in the drawing on April 28.
On Sunday morning, the Colorado Springs player realized she had won $200,000 when her husband checked her numbers and gave her the victory double-fisted hand pump. "My first thought was 'No way,'" said Steffey, who is a supervisor for a telecommunications company. "It's just a surreal experience to see so many numbers match (on the same ticket)."
Since she moved to Colorado three years ago, she has played Powerball twice a week. Not long after realizing her good fortune, she purchased a restaurant gift card for the clerk who sold her the ticket to show her appreciation.
Steffey plans to use her winnings to save towards her retirement, pay a few bills, make home improvements and share with her three daughters, one of whom is leaving for Bagdad on Tuesday with the U.S. Air Force.
The 7-Eleven at 4605 Austin Bluffs Parkway in Colorado Springs sold the winning ticket.
In El Paso County, more than $120 million in Lottery proceeds have helped to improve community facilities, local parks and nature trails such as the Cheyenne Mountain State Park, Fountain Creek Regional Park and Trail and Gossage Youth Sports Complex.
Proceeds from the Colorado Lottery's games - Scratch, Lotto, Powerball and Cash 5 - stay in Colorado to improve the quality of life in the state. In 2006, more than $120 million was returned to Colorado. Since the lottery started in 1983, more than $1.8 billion has been returned to the state.

The Jargon Society
Photograph by Dobree Adams
Dobree Adams stays down on the farm, and then looks down: snow in a tire rut and whiz/bang, theres an upsidedown forest... Meanwhile, over there masses of pear blossoms busy themselves constructing a geometric critter with a long face and a long neck... and, as for the samaras, they are turning themselves into two Japanese demons about to attack each other... In these modest pools of water we walk amidst, it is all happening.
Maybe Dobree can tell us why Jean-Phillipe Collard, the brilliant French pianist, has the same name as that strong Southern vegetable: collards, a variety of kale,
Brassica oleracea acephala
? Monsieur Collard eateth nary no collards, but every time I see the word
I am thrown into another sonic universe. I welcome these jolts, but often have to scratch my head. Language is banging heads all the time. But, lets let Jean-Phillipe tickle Monsieur Poulencs ivories.
Those who have read Philip Pullmans magnificent trilogy,
His Dark Materials
, will respond to the idea of parallel worlds: Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world. He couldnt possibly have said why. He knew it at once, as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness was good. He was looking at something profoundly alien.
Watch PBS these days and see programs with physicists in their labs working on string theory and the idea of branes that are parallel to us in the universe. Dobree Adamss photography takes whats there under our feet and makes it all be seen anew, from other sides.
As e.e. cummings concluded in one of his very best poems:
We doctors know
a hopeless case if --- listen:theres a hell
of a good universe next door;lets go

Item Description
Title: Burlington Street Department Buildings - Equipment
- McAllister, L. L. (Louis L.), 1877-1963
Source Document
Extent: 1 image
Photograph dated Oct. 6, 1944. Original caption reads: "Burlington Street Department - Stanley Leaf Eductor This view shows the Stanley Leaf Eductor as it appeared when first designed and ready for demonstration. Later a few changes were made including substituting a Ford motor for the LeRoi motor (shown in this picture) to generate more suction power. Note the Universal joint in the suction pipe with telescoping section operated by a cantilever handle. The upper section of the body was constructed with strips of sheet metal lined with chicken wire and coarse burlap which would allow the air to escape as the dirt and leaves were blown into the body. The truck used for this Leaf Eductor is the old 1923 Model 5 ton White which was originally purchased with the Elgin Catch Basin Eductor, the body of which minus the baffle plates was used for the lower portion of the new body which holds approximately 12 cubic yards and is dumped by a power lift. The original motor in this truck has been replaced by a rebuilt motor. The blower used as suction power for this equipment was a Concord Blower which has been used for nearly 20 years as a sawdust blower in a sawmill and for another 20 years as a dust collector at our Municipal Asphalt Plant. The ends of the blades of the rotor were cut off and replaced with heavy 8 ply belting material to eliminate breakage. This equipment was used in cleaning the leaves from the gutters until freezing weather prevented work of this nature.

From: Dick (Cowboy) Locke
Reference: Drug Testing
There is so much going on downtown Quincy that it would be a shame to miss it. First, I think that the community owes CRA/MainStreet Director Charles Hayes a pat on the back for the work he has put into bringing people downtown. Now we have regulars from Tallahassee and other areas joining our citizens to enjoy music. fun and fellowship.
No, Joan, please tell that nice grandmother friend of yours that I
really don't want to take on tutoring her grandchild. I like helping
out the kids here at LBJ, and I'm finding more and more
that they really need me."
I had been volunteering out at the LBJ CCC camp in Franklin,
I am so sick of this year's crop of political candidates. I am sick of the nasty, mean-spirited television commercials I grab the remote control as soon as one comes on. I try my very best to dodge them or at least hit the mute button as quickly as possible.
Mother's Day. It's just around the corner. There are many who will celebrate it with bittersweet memories of their mothers who are no longer here. Others are fortunate enough to be able to spend the holiday with their moms.
I am one of those still blessed to have my mother here with me. Well, she's not here, but she's still here...if you get what I mean. She doesn't live here; she lives in North Georgia.
When I think back over the course of my life, there's one constant thread...the love of my mother.
Last week was a busy one for law enforcement and a sad one for several families who had to bury loved ones. It happens all too frequently in our state and in our nation. But I suppose I am most bothered by some of the comments people make about Gadsden County. It appears that some of our neighbors are chomping at the bit and waiting for a tragedy to befall our community so they can take pot-shots at us.
The most troubling and insulting comment came from someone who wrote: "Let's bulldoze Gadsden County and start from scratch."
It's May already...and summer's just around the corner. When I realized that, it got me to thinking about all the things I grew up doing during those blissful months without the burden of homework or school.
When I was a kid, the thing to do in the summertime was to go to the pool at the American Legion. It cost a dollar to get in, and there was a snack bar where you could purchase a small cup of soda and choose from a number of snack foods.
This weekend we welcome visitors to our city for the annual QuincyFest. People come from throughput Georgia and Florida to hear good blues and eat fantastic barbecue. A lot of local people put in many volunteer hours throughout the year to make the event a success. It has been a success. And the event is getting even better.
I am truly disappointed in President Barack Obama.
Just 3 weeks shy of the National Day of Prayer, set for the first Thursday in May each year, rumors circulated that Obama had decided he didn't want to "offend anyone," so he canceled it. He didn't cancel the National Day of Prayer, and was expected to sign a proclamation to uphold the tradition. He did, however, cancel the White House service in observance of the day.
When I found out last Wednesday that Corrections Corporation of America no longer had the contract to operate Gadsden Correctional facility at Gretna, I felt as if an old friend told me he was moving to another city. I had become so accustomed to the people being there and calling on them to support the community and attending the quarterly Community Relations Committee meetings.

Summer Sounds for Everyone
I can enjoy some of the catchy summer radio hits such as We Are Young or Pumped Up Kicks but here are a batch of recent albums that offer more substance without losing their backyard BBQ appeal.
- Hospitality - Hospitality : If I had to pick one summer album of 2012, this would be it. Rarely do I find a record that blends catchy songwriting, bright vocals, and the right blend of instruments without being overly saccharine or cheesy. Almost everyone I've recommended this to has loved it as well. Drink pairing: Vodka-spiked lemonade.
- Boys & Girls - Alabama Shakes : Singer Brittany Howard's soulful, commanding vocals are something close to a combination of Otis Redding and Janis Joplin with a backing band that seems like it would be comfortable in any Southern blues or rock club. The energy these young folks bring to live shows has already made quite a lot of noise in the blogosphere (and they'll be opening for Neil Young at Red Rocks this summer). Drink pairing: Bottled Budweiser.
- Fear Fun - Father John Misty : Be forewarned, this one could be a party-killer if you don't know your crowd. It's best suited for later in the evening or a cabin's wooden back porch. Father John Misty is Josh Tillman aka J. Tillman aka the past drummer for Fleet Foxes. He is an incredible songwriter and as FJM he gets to flesh out his previously minimalist tendencies with a full band. While it starts off slow, beware when the fiddle and organ tracks kick in. Foot stomping may ensue. Drink pairing: Maker's Mark Bourbon
- Cancer For Cure - El-P : I don't listen to much hip hop, but when I find something I like, I tend to wear it out as is the case with El-P's latest solo effort, his first since I'll Sleep When You're Dead. This year he also produced Killer Mike's album which is well worth a listen. Both make most of what you hear on the radio seem ridiculously thin in both lyrics and sound. Drink pairing: Irish Car Bomb (Drink selection compliments of Selecta Roswell because it "starts out like a punch in the face then gets smoother".)
- Mixed Emotions - Tanlines : Using Afropop and other influences, Tanlines take their music into a unique dance-inducing direction. Previously known primarily for their remixes, this album should solidify their place as original artists. It's unassuming at first, but a few tracks in it exerts itself beyond background music and you might look around to see everyone's head beginning to bob along. Drink pairing: Bacardi Silver
- Celebration Rock - Japandroids : Not for the intimate dinner party, but if you have 50+ people crammed in your backyard, this is the record you may want to play. This Canadian duo plays so hard and fast, even at 35 minutes it can leave you short of breath. Guitar, drums, and more carefree summer anthems than you can shake a fist at. Drink pairing: Schlitz
- Sunkissed - Bad Weather California (This album is currently on order so check back if this link says "No Titles Found.") : These locals are producing some of the best music coming out of our beloved city and with so many references to the sun, surfing, and skating they seemed like a natural for this list. There is something for everyone here from psychedelic fuzz to 50's rock to Polynesian sounds. Amazing musicians making music that sounds deceiving laid back and effortless. Drink pairing: Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout
Curious, but not ready to commit? Here's a Spotify playlist* with a few tracks from each album. Also, some of these titles currently have wait lists so enjoy this until your hold arrives.
What's on heavy rotation for your summer soirees? Let us know in the comments.
(*Spotify is a free legal online streaming music service. You need a Spotify or Facebook account to access the playlist.)
I'm putting these all on hold and hitting up the Argonaut. Thanks for the fun read!
Our evening began in Bobby's comfortable study in his New York townhouse,
Where the candlelight was just right, the hi-fi was in the background and the wine was delicious.
What's the secret, Bobby?
Naturally, I'll say the wine and CD's from the Library.
Mmmm, it does go well with the chicken.
*clink* Delicious again, Bobby.
what an awesome and fantastic blog posting i can't wait to try out some of the pairings!!!

it's all about the cloud.
Fundamental value.
XRTX provides complicated tech which gives it a niche
Giving these 5 stocks a BUY rating. At these prices they are a great value. NEP, TNK, XRTX,TSYS, CH
rediculous valuation with one cash cow segment and one strong growth segment. Valued like a buggy whip play. If over they hit their numbers over the next 2 years, (using 5 yr ave % current assets/liabilities), the stock would be trading at a CASH/ EV near 70%! Benjamin Graham would be all over this one.
earnings a bit low than expected, but other #'s look ok.
gonna jump in after dip and look for the rebound.
Low p/e, good valued stock.
Very low PE ratio against the rest of the industry. What do all clould computing companies need on the backend? The answer is storage. As cloud computing grows so will storage.
Excellent Stock. No Debt. Huge Earnings. Huge Market Share. Buyout Potential.
The current valuation of this company is extremely low. Checking glassdoor, there's some unfavorable review about management but at P/E around 5 and P/S so low at .26 , its hard to pass this company up. Sales this quarter alone surpassed their marketvalue.They provide enterprise class storage(25% market share) and HDD testing methods. They are getting 750k of revenue per employee, which is damn good for a company providing engineering solutions.
The recession has slowed down alot of Server solution/network solution companies and stock value is undervalued. But sales is picking back up again and in the long term the industry should grow and Xyratex should be in a good position to capture this growth.
Xyratex Ltd. (XRTX)
The Company is a provider of modular enterprise-class data storage solutions and storage process technology. It designs, develops and manufactures enabling technology that provides its customers with data storage products.
Currently, at $12.99, XRTX is 36% off its 52W high, but up 470% from its March 2009 low.
XRTX's 1-year chart is one of the prettiest charts around.
5 highest volume days in the last 12 months were all up days.
Can you believe XRTX was at $20 just 3 months ago?
Definitely, my kind of value play.
Stock is at a deep discount now than when earnings surprise hit on March 31. Should have a good run-up from here at $15+.
They just gave amazing guidance when they reported, and based on conesensus estimates this Zacks #1 stock is trading at under4.6x this years earnings of $3.58. Nice debt free balance sheet as well. Nice little niche in the data storage area.
The data storage market is absolutely exploding
XRTX produces software and hardware in the computer storage business. It is recovering from a down cycle in the industry and is undervalued.
short term... i hope it goes down... profit takers
trend PS test
earnings play
You've got to be kidding me...not a single underperform rating here. Are we looking at the same company? Xyratex is in the midst of a pretty major sales decline and it isnt going to simply go away in a single quarter. Their products are good, but their customers are not buying like they were in 2005. Sales declined in the most recent quarter and it created a huge drop in profits. I would fully expect lower earnings expectations over the next 3-6 months and based on a clear break in the technicals on the two year chart, id say a head and shoulders formation is highly probable (that'd have bearish connotations). No way this beats the S&P over the next 2-6 months.

2 sought in NY killing of LA man
2 suspects sought in broad daylight killing of LA man in midtown Manhattan
NEW YORK — Investigators have yet to identify a suspect in the brazen shooting of a Los Angeles man in midtown Manhattan.
A gunman and a getaway driver ambushed Brandon Lincoln Woodard on Monday after he checked out of a Columbus Circle hotel.
An investigation has led police to Queens, where they located the assailants' car. Investigators think it might have been a professional hit.
But Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Thursday that police still haven't located the two men. They also haven't determined who may have ordered them to kill Woodard, or why.
The 31-year-old Woodard was a college graduate who had a history of run-ins with the law.

The models in the PURE BALANCE series have smooth, seamless cups and nestle perfectly up against the body, giving them
an invisible look underneath clothes. Particularly soft and ergonomically formed comfortable straps provide secure support
and relieve strain on shoulders.
The use of a double-faced fabric with the soft and comfortable cotton side
against the skin produces an absolute feel-good factor. This cotton-on-skin effect promises special comfort (all models apart
from the Spacer bra).
The softly shaped cup on the spacer bra lends a natural feeling of lightness created by the extreme fineness of the fabric. Spacer fabric is defined as being very light and flexible while also keeping its shape. The 3-D technology of this spacer fabric permits optimal breathability. The spacer bra sets new benchmarks in comfort.

New Australian Dietary Guidelines have just been released - doubling the formerly recommended '30 minutes of exercise a day', thanks to our poor diets.
Produced by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the guidelines suggest that in our 'current environment of abundant availability, promotion and consumption of energy-dense food' (read: junk food), Aussie's need a minimum of 45-60 minutes of moderate intensity daily physical activity. And that's if you just want to maintain weight.
The news is worse for the formerly obese, with at least 60-90 minutes of moderate intensity activity needed to prevent weight regain.
The guidelines also recommend measuring your waist circumference every two-three months and adjusting the amount or quality of your food intake and physical activity as required.
The last time these guidelines were released (1993) it was thought that if your diet was controlled, 30 minutes of moderate intensity daily physical activity would be sufficient to prevent weight gain in adults - as long as sitting time was less than 4.5 hours a day.
But with the average Aussie now clocking 15 hours a day on their bum (that's 90 per cent of your waking hours) it's easy to see why the '30 minutes a day' recommendation is seriously outdated.
Time to get your bum moving! Why not start with this 20 minute fat-burning workout?

Just something that crossed my mind the other day. What defines success for you in powerlifting?
Winning or competing in certain meets?
Winning a national or world championship?
Making some money?
Placing on an "all time" list?
For me it really is pretty simple. i've always wanted to keep making a consistent improvement. I never have had a specific number that was my absolute limit. When I first started I wanted to bench 400 in a shirt. Things slowly progressed from there. I'm happy to keep pushing myself at a pretty agressive pace in the best gym in the world and enjoy the ride. I've competed in some pretty big meets, which is an absolute blast, but it's not what keeps me grinding day in and day out
So success for me is continual improvement. Reaching a point where I'm at least competitive with the top level benchers in the country. I've obviously got numbers I want to hit, but it's not ingrained in stone that those numbers are where I want to stop at. I'm just enjoying the ride of grinding and pushing on myself every day.
So I'm curious, what to you guys defines success?

The young Illinois woman accused of killing a pregnant friend and cutting out her fetus has a long and troubled past.
Court documents show Tiffany Hall was sentenced to probation in 1996, for kicking her mother on the legs. She was 14 at the time. A month later, officials unsuccessfully tried to revoke her probation for problems including a missed drug test and curfew violations. Hall was sent to state care later that year and freed in 1997. By 1999 she had two daughters and lost custody of them when a court found evidence one had been abused.
Hall was never charged, but her mother told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the abused girl, who's now seven, still wears a diaper and speaks mostly in unintelligible sounds.

International Law: A South African Perspective
Juta, 2005 - Law - 582 pages
The world has experienced traumatic events and witnessed dramatic changes since the appearance of the second edition of this book. The attack on the World Trade Centre in New York in 2001, followed by the United States intervention in Afghanistan, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003, have challenged the foundations of the international order. The establishment of the African Union and the creation of the International Criminal Court have added two important new institutions to international life. International law has addressed these developments by adjusting old and creating new rules. Less spectacularly, international law has undergone major changes in the fields of state responsibility, immunities, international humanitarian law and international criminal law. In South Africa, statutes and judicial decisions have emphasised the unity of international law and municipal law. The third edition of this book addresses these developments and integrates them into the body of established international law. Most treatises on international law approach the subject from some national perspective. This book follows this course. International and South African sources of law are invoked to provide both a picture of international law and a study of international law as applied in South African municipal law. The book is intended for law students, legal practitioners and those engaged in the study and practice of foreign relations.

Cabbage patch kids
I went to the Farmer's Market and bought a head of cabbage. I think my father-in-law is wondering why we haven't eaten it for dinner yet. Little does he know...I'm wearing it.
Hmmm...what's that new perfume you're wearing Jenn? Good luck with that!
interesting! -that's good to know.
You can also wear tea bags.
Or moist diapers heated in the micro.
Okay that sounds gross. . . moist in the sense that you use WATER. . .I know you and your nasty mind! :)
It is a well known fact that Babe Ruth used to keep a cabbage leaf under his cap to keep cool. I'm not sure how this worked but h said it did.
He also got cancer but don't let that scare you.

So, with my current goals and desires, of all the lifts that I find necessary, the only ones that I would really need a gym for are: squats and deadlifts. Everything else I want to do (pullups, overhead presses, dips, weighted crunches, etc.) I can pretty reasonably do without a gym.
I was thinking about using sand to create a large load/bag of sorts that I can use to squat and deadlift with a heavy weight that I can progress with (using small 5-lb. bags of sand to increment with). Any ideas/recommendations?
Or, do you feel that in order to get the most out of squats and deads I should just get a gym membership?
(by the way i dont know if any of you remember me, i used to post here a lot back in the day, hello everyone!)

Dark & Stormy strikes again with The Drunken City
Sara Marsh and Kris L. Nelson
Heidi Bohnenkamp
Over the past couple of years, Dark & Stormy Productions has emerged as a small theater company with the clout to get top Twin Cities talent to perform in intimate settings. Last year, that included productions of Speed-the-Plow and The Receptionist. The latter ended up as one of our 10 favorites from 2013, powered in part by a tremendous performance in the title role by Sally Wingert.
The company returns to the same playwright, Adam Bock, but with a slightly brighter tone in The Drunken City. The play takes on an evening-long bender, where alcohol not only represses inhibitions, but reveals to at least one character that she has made a terrible mistake.
Over the course of the play's 75 minutes, two groups of friends who are out for the night in a nameless city meet and interact, changing their lives in the process. On one side we have Marnie, Linda, and Melissa, a trio of co-workers and friends who have been celebrating their respective engagements for several weeks. This time out, it is Marnie's turn to be the woman of honor.
Along the way, this group meets up with Frank and Eddie, who happen to be from the same place as the trio and are out for a night on the town. Both are bachelors, though Frank still pines for the woman who left him more than a year ago. Their chance meeting would just be one of many in any late night at the bars, except that Marnie and Frank make an instant connection. That leads to a kiss, which leads to the chaos of the play.
Considering the brevity of the show — and that most of the characters are dead drunk for most of it — it is remarkable how the actors are able to take up the challenge and produce a funny, vibrant piece that also offers a taste of darkness.
Leading the charge are Sara Marsh and Kris L. Nelson as Marnie and Frank. While all of the characters are somewhat lost in their day-to-day lives, this pair seems to be in crisis. Their unexpected and immediate chemistry works to draw us into the story, while their subtle play during the final, sober meeting is particularly heartbreaking.
Marnie's friends, Melissa (Adelin Phelps) and Linda (Tracey Maloney), are interesting studies in contrast. Phelps brings out the bitterness that consumes Melissa after her own engagement was scuttled by a cheating fiancé. Maloney has to be fun as the free-spirited Linda, but also show us there is some turmoil inside.
There's also chemistry at work in the background of the show, as Eddie (Paul de Cordova) meets up with Bob (Ben McGovern). Bob is the ladies' employer and friend, and arrives on the scene perfectly clear-headed, which makes negotiating the chaos of the evening all the more frustrating. Meanwhile, he and Eddie let their slowly growing attraction build throughout the show, and we watch as these characters become the secret heroes of the piece.
Director Bill McCallum gives the messy proceedings a sharp focus and physical snap. For a show about a bunch of inebriates, The Drunken City is engaging, fun, and memorable, all the more so for the theater's intimate setting.

district is named after the monastery and the church that no longer exist. The area was full of convents and populated by a diverse group of people who practised various activities. The San Polo district takes its name from the church dedicated to the Apostle Paul. It was the centre of economy and trade in the city and its market is still there. According to tradition, it was one of the first places inhabited by Venetians. It became the centre of business and trade in 1097, as it was the highest point above sea level. Later, due to its functional features, other commercial activities came to the area: stores dealing in gold, spices and textiles, financial institutions like banks and public administration companies like maritime insurance companies and the stock exchange.
The jewel in the crown of Hotel Savoia & Jolanda is the view that can be enjoyed from the lagoon-facing building, where our junior suites are located, but also the magnificent Campo San Zaccaria where you can see the Renaissance church from many of our rooms.

King of Wall Street
In 1985, two top Lehman Brothers executives, Peter G. Peterson
and Stephen A. Schwarzman, invested USD$400,000 to launch a
boutique M&A firm they called The Blackstone Group. Their first
office operated with a staff of four, but Peterson and Schwarzman
were convinced their singular approach would become a force in the
business world. First of all, they decided to invest only in
friendly mergers and acquisitions--a bold decision in the hostile
takeover-happy environment of the 1980s. They also insisted that
their own firm always invest large chunks of its own funds in the
investments it made, and that their firm would strive to remain
free of conflicts of interest, especially those born of competing
business divisions within larger companies.
As Blackstone grew, its founders gained reputations for holding
its reins a little too closely--several partners departed under
bitter clouds. But it's clear that Peterson and Schwarzman (who has
earned the nickname "The King of Wall Street") have built a strong
business. Today, Blackstone has 839 employees in 14 offices around
the world. It has also expanded its work beyond M&A advisory to
include restructuring and reorganization advisory, fund placement
services, private equity, real estate, corporate debt and
marketable alternative investments, as well as closed-end funds in
India and Asia. In 1998, American International Group (AIG)
purchased a 7 percent non-voting stake in Blackstone; it paid
USD$150 million for its share, and has invested over USD$1.2
billion in Blackstone-sponsored funds. In addition to AIG,
Blackstone has formed strategic alliances with several
international financial institutions, including Roland Berger
Strategy Consultants, Kissinger Associates, Alfaro Asesores
Financieros and Scandinaviska Enskilda Banken.
In June 2007, Blackstone put forward its long awaited and
much-hyped initial public offering, issuing 133.3 million units
priced at USD$31 apiece. The USD$4.13 billion IPO, the largest
U.S.-based IPO in five years, gave the public a 12.3 percent stake
in Blackstone. After the IPO, the firm as a whole was valued around
USD$33 billion.

Severe weather seems to be the running theme of 2011 as much of the country has had to battle extremes in temperature, wind, precipitation and super-storms like hurricanes and tornadoes. As a result, many homeowners have been filing damage claims and hiring contractors.
But not all claims are equal and not all contractors are trustworthy. Serving as a would-be crime-stopping team protecting the insured from being scammed, Allstate's Special Investigative Unit looks into questionable claims and fights fraud.
While the wild weather is expected to continue as we enter the peak of hurricane season, but much of the country is more wary about strong, windy hail storms. The SIU investigators have seen their share of hail damage scams, but one case in particular is worth recounting:
Note: The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Last year a Texas homeowner submitted a claim for hail damage to their roof, called their agent and hired a licensed contractor to come out and assess the damage. The Contractor, Mr. Shady, came back with a very large estimate for extensive repairs.
While it was confirmed that there was a hail storm in the area, the agent notified Investigator Nick Peerless because there were no other claims submitted in the nearby surrounding area. With that in mind, Investigator Peerless went to work, and his findings were intriguing.
First, he surveilled the other houses on that street, and none had obvious hail damage. Next, Peerless checked the house in question for collateral damage, including dents in metal accessories like a/c compressors, vents, gutters and downspouts—indicating density, size and direction of the hail storm.
Finally, he inspected patterns and details of the actual damage, looking for particular signs like bruising of shingles, compressed asphalt granules on the shingles (not crushed), and the location of the hail impacts.
In this case, Contractor Shady was to blame. When he examined the roof, there was little to no damage requiring repair, so he inflicted his own in order to increase repair costs and scam money from the insurance company.
Investigator Peerless was not fooled, and with his highly trained eye found the dents and marks to be consistent with those made by a tool, likely a hammer. The size and depth of the impressions were too consistent; tool marks were obvious on the metal parts of the roof, and the dead giveaway: The insured roof was damaged, but the uninsured satellite dish didn't have a mark on it.
In the end, the shrewd Investigator Peerless foiled the plot of Contractor Shady and protected the homeowner from being scammed.
"Does a reckless hammer cause more bruises to the contractor or the roof?"Zoe is a contributing blogger and member of Allstate Insurance Company's Special Investigative Unit.

Jacksonville's long-awaited, harshly debated conference center may be dead. Just as the city started clearing this site for the multi-million dollar project in downtown Jacksonville, the city council voted 5-to-1 Wednesday night to break off negotiations with a development group for the proposed hotel and conference center. But, the Marine Museum of The Carolinas, which was also supposed to be located close to the center, says don't count out the project just yet. A new beginning, with a museum first, might still bring growth to the Jacksonville. The joint public-private venture, a hotel and conference center plus a Marine Museum, was projected to bring millions in new investments, as well as hundreds of new jobs and thousands of visitors to Jacksonville.

SAN DIEGO Four women publicly identified themselves Thursday as targets of Mayor Bob Filner's unwanted sexual advances, bringing the number of accusers to seven this week as the leader of the nation's eighth-largest city signaled once again that he has no intention to resign.
The latest accusers spoke with public broadcasting station KPBS about inappropriate touching and comments. They said they believe Filner is unfit for office and should resign immediately.
The women are a retired Navy rear admiral, a dean at San Diego State University, the head of the San Diego Port Tenants Association and a prominent businesswoman.
Veronica "Ronne" Froman, the retired rear admiral and the city's chief operating officer under Filner's predecessor, told KPBS that Filner once blocked a doorway after others had left a meeting, ran his finger up her cheek and asked if she had a man in her life.
When she told him she did have a man, named Linden Blue, Filner allegedly replied, "Oh, of the Blues Brothers?"
"And he says, 'Maybe we can get together some time and have lunch, and he can support me for mayor.' "
Froman said the incident happened "a couple years ago" at Filner's congressional office.
San Diego Port Tenants Association President Sharon Bernie-Cloward said the then-congressman approached her at an event in 2010 and said she was beautiful and he wanted to date her after his re-election.
At another event during last year's mayoral campaign, she said, Filner "groped me on my backside inappropriately."
"I was left there startled and fearful. In fact, I actually had someone walk me to my car that night," she said.
Patti Roscoe, a businesswoman in San Diego's tourism and hospitality industry who has known Filner since before he was elected to Congress in 1992, said he placed her in a "headlock" numerous times and tried to kiss her on the lips.
"I'd have to squirm to get away. And just as recently as a few months ago this happened. I turned, and he just slobbered down my chin," Roscoe said.
Joyce Gattas, dean of San Diego State's College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts, said she had a series of "interactions with Bob where he's held me too tight, a kiss on the cheek which is inappropriate, hands on the knee that last too long."
"I've experienced his sexual innuendos with me at various events that again, have left me in that strange feeling of 'This is inappropriate, this is unwanted and this shouldn't be happening,' " Gattas said.

oakland gm eyes denver assistants
Oakland's search for a head coach picked up steam Monday as the team received permission to interview two Denver assistants and was also poised to talk to members of Green Bay's staff.
With the Broncos and Packers eliminated from the playoffs, Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie could begin moving quickly to fill the job that opened up when he fired Hue Jackson last week on his first day on the job.
McKenzie got permission from the Broncos to interview offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. McCoy also interviewed Monday for the job opening in Miami.
Among the Packers assistants expected to be interviewed by Oakland is linebackers coach Winston Moss, who has interviewed for openings with the Raiders in the past and played four seasons for the team from 1991-94. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, defensive coordinator Dom Capers, quarterbacks coach Tom Clements and secondary coach Darren Perry also could be candidates.
McKenzie reportedly already has interviewed former Miami interim coach Todd Bowles and New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr.
Around the league
•St. Louis has scheduled a news conference for today to introduce Jeff Fisher as the Rams' new coach amid reports New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has agreed to join Fisher's staff in the same role.
•Denver sought to curb the circus that's sure to surround quarterback Tim Tebow over the next several months by declaring him the incumbent at a season-ending news conference. "Well, I think Tim's earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp next year," Broncos boss John Elway said. Elway, a Hall of Famer who rejoined the team a year ago as chief of football operations, has pledged to personally work with Tebow this offseason.
•Green Bay receiver Donald Driver, 36, acknowledged he may not be in the Packers' plans for next season, but he's not ready to retire. "I don't make any decisions," said Driver, the team's all-time leader in catches. "This is a business."
