I bet you Ted Thompson is saying to himself: 'Now there...ARE YOU ALL SATISFIED!? I did something. I got a free agent....now hush. Go somewhere and sit down.'
LOL.Hide replies
What should be saying to himself is: "I should have taken a shot like this years ago."
No. One year they won a SB. But for a defense that can't get off the field they may have more! This may be a step towards solving that. Another step would be to FIRE CAPERS.
Interesting talk cheesey since Jim Harbaugh and the Niners have been waxing our team regularly.
years ago they won the super bowl.
TT doesn't care about what the avg. fan on blogs thinks...he's trying to win a Super Bowl every yr.
It isn't easy...not everybody can win it all like Jim Harbaugh and the Niners every yr.
harbaugh is a special breed, though.
that's why he wins super bowls.
Yeah, I like Jim as a coach too.
I don't think Ted Thompson has ever worried about the fans and if they're satisfied. Not for one second.
Kinda sad ain't it Monteee, since we're the ones who pay his salary.
First big Ray we are a Micah Hyde dropped pass away from beating SF. And tell me how many Super Bowls have the Packers won since SF won their last Super Bowl. You complain about the Pack but SF has not won anything.
Just their games against the Pack todd
Cheesey if you go back earlier on this blog you'll see that I was complimentary of TT for making this move. On the other hand I don;t drink the kool aid. Don't be a hater troll ALL THE TIME cheesey.
No. 1, I bet Thompson didn't say anything concerning the bloggers and I bet he never reads or cares what goes on here. He is focused only on winning football games and keeping the franchise competitive every year.
no. 2, old?
Todd we were at the nine yardline, first and goal and settled for a field goal. That was the game. Hyde at least played the ball, but it was a high, fastball in subzero temps...that game was on McCarthy!
This makes a lot of sense. I look at the long, long, long list of free agents everyday. Always wondering when Ted would pull the trigger. See, there are so many free agents out there it is not a matter of "if" but, "when". Ted done good IMHO. $8.5 million is a very fair price for this guy. If he can remain productive in the 3/4 it will be a great signing.Hide replies
Bring in a Clemons from Miami and I'd be set.
Or DeCoud from ATL
I'd like to see TT be able to draft best available. If no safety is found in FA, he may have to reach for C Pryor. I wouldnt mind seeing Ebron or Mosely if they fall
Agree, Decoud...would be a Decoup at this pt.
My hope is that TT can "free" up the draft to select the Ebron type player that falls to 21. Not really a huge fan of Pryor in the first.
Yes. Agree. Clinton-Dix would be a no brainer. But Pryor is a reach. I'd rather see the guaranteed starter like Mosely, Ebron or Clinton Dix. Getting a few more FA's would allow TT to draft the best grade.
I like the signing. What does GB need most? Pass rushers! JP provides this. Also, who says he has to start? Maybe this is more of a two year deal where JP comes in and plays a role similar to Charles Haley toward the end of his career where he was more of a situational pass rusher and played about two thirds of the defensive snaps? JP has been very durable throughout his career, he is a leader and high character individual and he brings some serious versatility to the table in terms of his ability to play multiple spots. 3-4 or 4-3 please! The Packers play 4 man fronts frequently, so JP will be put into position to play to his strengths. That just is not a concern. Finally, Michael Strahan won a SB at 35 playing essentially a full time role as a starting DE for the Giants. Although, JP may wind up being a situational player, JP strikes me as a very similar guy to Strahan in terms of his professionalism and taking care of his body in and out of season. Great signing, TT!Hide replies
Can't wait to see him in a Packer Uniform. So much better than da bears
bmac, anybody looks better in a Packer uniform than a Bear's uniform. :-)
Except Cutler.
I am leery of this signing but perhaps a change of scenery and a legitimate chance at a SB will motivate him. I was not impressed with him last year. Having CM III on the field at the same time could cut down on the double teams both faced and make both more effective. He definitely needs to be more of a run defender, the Bears sucked last year in run defense. Oh heck, the Bears just plain suck no matter what their record is.
Mathews -Peppers with Neal/Pery/Daniels on the left side. Pick your poison. This move is about a pass rusher not some wide body to play wrestler with the Tackles...
Per last season...it would be a stretch to suggest JP is/was
a 'pass rusher'. Good luck if indeed that was your intent>
You must not have watched many Packer games, JP is a much better pass rusher than what we had last year on the DL.
I don't like this signing...THIS IS GOING TO **** UP OUR COMP PICK NEXT YR, MAN!Hide replies
there goes the super bowl.
Let me get this straight:
TT is an awful GM because he lets big name FAs slip by. Wants to build through the draft. What an idiot
TT goes out and signs a big name FA, for cheap (which won't hurt our comp pick a whole lot) and people complain because they want a 4th round draft pick, not a 5th round draft pick.
I hope this is your attempt at being cheeky...
I guess we're not tanking?
you need a new sarcasm detector, kimmie.
big time.
Mine was recalled. Was detecting bull snift instead
haha!! get it fixed and you'll be good to go.
Who better knows Peppers capabilities than the GB packers?
Clayton on ESPN is talking about Pep playing the elephant position in GB.
I'm glad our boys don't have to block him anymore...and I hope Allen goes to the AFC.Hide replies
Allen could still come to GB? Maybe? Imagine Peppers, Raji and Allen as your front 3!
His value was in the toilet based off of a few games he supposedly was sulking through (and neither of those were against us). It was just such a clearly good buy.
He's definitely still a player you want to be on your side.
I hope Allen doesn't come to GB.
A lot of people would be jumping off bridges, bro...
Jared Allen would be a great fit for an AFC team!
I hope he's not done. For this price he still could do a lot of damage. A lot of great FAs still out thereHide replies
there were never a lot of great FAs out there.
there were/are some good ones.
Geez, my fellow GM wannabies! Peppers has always been an elite player. The proof will be in the pudding, but we really needed a tall and talented DE. Peppers is nothing, if not that. I don't know what the thinking was on EDS, but that one, if any, will be the move that bites the Pack in the arse. I can only assume the Packers know something I don't. Further, I hate the fact that they didn't move on a veteran safety. I'm not sure any rookie can play that position in a Cappers defense.Hide replies
I was hoping for EDS to come back as well, but he did only have one decent season at center. They did draft Tretter in the 4th round. I didn't see him play at all last year, and I don't know much about him, but from what I read after the draft a lot of scouts loved him as a late rising center prospect.
I'm not saying he'll be a probowler, or it's the right move, but I'd rather he address the defense first!
It would be nice to bring in a decent Center to push Tretter for the job. Also Owen Daniels at TE.
EDS wasn't even as good as Scott Wells. On the play Cobb should have scored on vs SF, EDS missed the key block that botched the play. We can do better
did you think he was elite last year? Do you think he lived up to his last contract when he was with the bears?
It's about production. Before you pessimists start whining with your menopausal rants, ask yourselves two questions: Where would Peppers have been ranked last year among Packers D-linemen in sacks? How many games did he miss as a Bear? $3.5 mil cap hit this year for a difference-maker...no brainer!Hide replies
Exactly. The entire Packers DL last year had ~15 sacks. Peppers had 7 himself last year, which is actually kind of low for him.
Teams HAVE to address him. They give him way more respect than Mike Daniels!
So what do you do if you're an OC? Double Peppers? Well, you've got Raji in the middle who at NT may garner more double teams as well.
Ok, so double Peppers, double Raji. Oh wait, we have Matthews on the other side... damn
Low risk/high reward signing. I watched peppers play last year quite a bit and he definitely has enough left in the tank to help the defense this year IMO. It's a minimal investment in a real pro and a great step in the right direction in improving the d!Hide replies
Amen to that, Peppers is also not on the Bears anymore...it's a win/win for the Pack.
That guy caused problems over the yrs...you have to scheme to take him out of the game. And...he almost crushed Rodgers on the big play in week 17. EDS played a part in that breakdown...
Three guys I was always jealous the Bears had: Peppers, Briggs and Forte. Nice addition
Url and Peanut, add them in there too...Briggs and Brian always seemed to make a huge play in those battles.
Nobody in Chicago is either looking over their shoulders at what
departed, or concerned about were they land.
"High reward".
"We shall see">
If TT makes one or two more moves that seem to favor more 4-3....does he show Capers the door? Or is it too late? Is Capers capable of switching it up or running a hybrid? What I'm saying/asking is did TT plan this out to see if the D would have a new look (fire Capers)...or stay the course if we're stuck with basically the same personnel? Do you wait until after the draft (which is later this year)?
Sorry for all the questions/sentence structure...I'm just pretty happy with this signing.Hide replies
I think you'll see more of a hybrid, like NE is now running. Think less about an official "position" and more like "we're putting our best rushers in on passing downs".
If they use that elephant position, as John Clayton mentioned, then Peppers/Neal/Jones/Matthews can all play that type of hybrid pass rush position.
I think you'll see Capers have more weapons (assuming they can get a little luck on the injury front) next season.
I can't imagine how awesome it would be to have a 4 man line rushing on 3rd downs of: CMIII, Peppers, Daniels and Neal
Exactly...very good players make others much BETTER.
And, IMO, Peppers is still very good. Not what he was but still very good.
This guy is/was an INCREDIBLE athlete. He got plenty of run on the basketball court in college...at UNC.
He's a big improvement for the Packer D.
Dom has run every defense under the sun...less scrubs equals greater performance. The pressure is not on Dom. It is squarely on Mccartwheel's shoulders. Game management and when to throw the challenge flag. Three and out x three in Quarter one with the offense intact and Dom holding the 49rs to 6 points. Lets clear the foggy lens and view the reality of the last game played with HOME FIELD advantage and a depressingly cold night filled with frozen fans and Old Crow...

Removing Both Breasts Wiser for Women Diagnosed With Breast Cancer from BRCA Gene Mutation
by Thilaka Ravi on February 12, 2014 at 7:36 AM Cancer News - G J E 4
Women diagnosed with breast cancer caused by a notorious gene have a much better survival chance if they have both breasts removed instead of one, observed a study Wednesday.
Out of 100 women with a BRCA gene mutation who have a double mastectomy for early breast cancer, 87 will be alive after 20 years, it said.
AdvertisementThis compares to 66 of every 100 who opt for a single amputation, according to the research published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
"We conclude that it is reasonable to propose bilateral mastectomy as the initial treatment option for women with early-stage breast cancer who are carriers of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation," the authors wrote.
For those who have had one breast removed, "the possibility of a second surgery should be discussed," they advised.
Breast cancer has multiple sources, but the best-known inherited causes are the so-called BRCA1 or BCRA2 (for BReast CAncer susceptibility) genes that carry telltale mutations.
About 0.2 percent of women carry a harmful variant of these genes.
It boosts their lifetime risk of contracting breast cancer to as much as 80 percent compared to about 10 percent among women without the mutation. These women also run a high risk of recurrence after treatment.
The mastectomy question was thrown into the spotlight last year when Hollywood star Angelina Jolie announced she had both breasts surgically removed as a preventative measure after tests revealed she carried the BRCA mutation. She had not been diagnosed with the disease.
Rocker Ozzy Osbourne's wife, Sharon, did the same the previous year.
There were some 521,000 breast cancer deaths in 2012, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). It is the most common type of cancer among women.
For the study, specialists in Canada and the United States compared the survival rates of 390 women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer between 1975 and 2009.
They were all known carriers or likely carriers of a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
Of the group, 79 women died in the follow-up period -- 18 of them had had a double mastectomy and 61 a single one.
"Having both breasts removed was associated with a significant (48 percent) reduction in breast cancer death compared with having only one breast removed over a 20 year period," said a statement.
The study said half of women in North America with a BRCA mutation opt for a double breast removal to prevent a second cancer.
- Do mammograms help? -
Another study in the same journal, meanwhile, cast doubt on the value of annual mammogram screening of women aged 40 to 59.
It is the latest evidence in a long-running debate about the usefulness of a costly procedure that sometimes results in over-diagnosis -- the discovery (and treatment) of cancers that would never have caused symptoms or death during a woman's lifetime.
Analysing the results of a 25-year Canadian study with nearly 90,000 women, researchers said mammograms were no more effective at preventing cancer deaths than physical breast examination.
A total of 3,250 women who received annual mammograms, and 3,133 who did not, were diagnosed with breast cancer during the study period, and 500 and 505 in each group died, said the study.
Women in both groups had regular physical breast examinations.
"The cumulative mortality from breast cancer was similar" between the two groups, said the authors.
Annual mammography "does not result in a reduction in breast cancer mortality for women aged 40-59", the team wrote.
"The rationale for screening by mammography should be urgently reassessed by policymakers."

The Nash County Planning Board rejected a request to rezone the land that Sanderson Farms is considering for building a poultry plant. The vote ended in a five to three decision Monday, according to the Rocky Mount Telegram.
Sanderson Farms had been considering the land on Highway 97 in Nash County for a new chicken processing plant.
County commissioners are expected to vote on the land's rezoning at their meeting April 4th.
The Nash County environmental impact report concludes that a proposed poultry plant would not threaten Nash County water supplies and land resources, according to the Rocky Mount Telegram.
Sanderson Farms proposed a new chicken processing plant in southern Nash County and was met with opposition from some of the county's residents.
The environmental study was paid for by Nash County, which supports locating the plant in the county. Wilson opposes the location because it is near the city's water source.
Sanderson Farms says it is putting off a final decision on where to build a new plant for the year and until feed prices stabilize.

The New York Federal Reserve' recession indicator – which is used to predict the probability of a recession one year from now – fell 1.67 percentage points from May in June. The recession probability is derived from the yield curve – or the difference between rates on 10-year Treasury bonds and 3-month Treasury bills – which increased 0.36 percentage points from the month prior. This increase is the result of a 0.37 point increase in the average rate of Treasuries and a 0.01 point increase in the rates of T-bills. Yields on 10-year Treasuries rose in the second half of the month after Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Fed, announced that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) had decided that quantitative easing – or the U.S. central bank's bond-buying program – would begin to wind down within the second half of the year, given continued signs of a strong economy. Yields on ten-year Treasuries increased with this news, as investors responded to the expected decline in future demand for these securities. On the other hand, the Fed Funds rate is expected to remain at a target of 0 to 0.25 until unemployment falls below 6.5% and inflation is no higher than 2.5% within one or two years, projected by some to occur around 2015; hence there was little change in the yields on three-month T-Bills.

Nice eye to catch this one, Bits. Very fancy, and well done.
....and it looks excellent full size, those figures really stand out. Nice of k to let you have one!! H
Nice image BnP! Now if you turn it sideways it would also make a nice petroglyph.
Thanks n1w ! All the fancy architecture around, and I liked the people reflected in the pool...
Thanks H ! Took a lot of shots to get them in good places. Kamaly just didn't have the patience for that!
And Thanks Conrad! Hmmm, I hadn't thought of that....but I just tried and I can't see any faces. :(
Very nice, Bits! I think kamaly is one of the people reflected in the pool.
Thanks Norrel! Oh-oh, you guessed! She made me promise not to tell anyone!
I guess that guy on the left side of the group is all bent over in depression.....because this was Rejected!
From the thumbnail this one looks like a row of ancient books in a library. Perhaps that's why it's rejected. You could ask panoramio to reconsider their decision. GE deserves a beauty like this one.
Very-very good picture. Congratulations, ch.
Thanks Christian! So nice to hear that, especially since The Reviewers didn't seem to think so!!
And many Thanks for the consolation, Norrel! With reviewers like that, maybe GE just doesn't deserve a shot like this! But LOL I understand their likely confusion completely. I hardly know what this is when I look at the thumbnail!
They're too busy negotiating additional little bedevilments to introduce into the system to notice such a pretty shot as this one, Bits.
I love this. Thought the thumbnail looked like a bookshelf filled with Encyclopedias.
"The Reviewers" have gone down a lot in my estimation. Can't they tell the difference between a building and an encyclopedia? Hey, that sounds like a riddle. Great shot K and hey, "best of" -- hope that helps change their minds! But of course well deserved. And a vote of course.
Thanks! not1word, Larry and Nawitka for the support and condolences! Yeah, I was pretty surprised at first when I saw it didn't get the seal of approval, but that's sure a lot more understandable with this one than a lot of the 'rejected' photos out there. I might submit it for review, but things are coming in at such low elevations these days I don't know that anyone would even see it if it WERE on GE. BUT if you want a real joke: look at what comes up as the first photo on the Tag 'Boston'. So on those grounds its a bit stupid this was rejected.
OH - and no one's commented on the really strange optical illusion in this shot. It actually bugs me when I see it, but I know how much I worked on correcting it and double checking it:
Doesn't it look like the horizontals are crooked and/or warped? (I bet this has been driving Guy nuts when he sees it, and he must keep wanting to tell me to fix it.) But drag another window up over the photo: all the horizontals are horizontal and straight!
I just assumed it was due to the architecture.
LOL, Guy!
and I've figured out why this might have been Rejected: you can actually see some detail in it. Perhaps if I'd left it all black, or had eschewed the tripod...... ;)
I'm going to offer a bit of a quote from the #1 Boston shot: "Stunning image -- makes me gasp. Well conceived, well executed."
See, if you'd have had people saying that about this shot, you'd be first, too, Bits.
Fine. I'll say it.
Stunning image -- makes me gasp. Well conceived, well executed, Bits. I'd say this one deserves it as much as that other one.
woooo-hoooo! Resubmittal worked once again! :D
"This photo is selected for Google Earth" !
not1word I bet it was your eloquent praise that did the trick!
Like 3 for this one. I like the light, people and the windows. Bérangère

the true fear no one dares takes
you saw sadness,
and you never noticed the pain.
you heard the thunder,
and ignored the rain.
but yet you wonder,
just why you dug my grave.
you saw, my dear.
but you cannot see.
I saw him,
I met him,
I knew him.
Tall dark and handsome.
Feeling his eyes dancing on my skin.
His slim slender figure peering in my direction.
Eyes mesmerising:
An endearing young gentleman.
I saw him,
I met him,
I knew him,
I love him.
I saw her,
I met her,
I knew her.
A young beautiful flower.
Her captivating thin figure within my sight.
Her skin responding to my massaging eyes
A glowing tantalizing frame:
An intelligent striking young lady.
I saw her,
I met her,
I knew her,
I love her.
Today I saw a kid
and watched as somebody killed him
I never thought twice
I went to bed that night
today I saw a bully
and watched as he worked
I had no choice
I never thought twice
I went out with my friends that night
Today I was alone
I don't know why
and I never thought twice
I went home and cried
Today I saw razor blade
and commented on how nice it looked
it said 'why thankyou can I take away your hurt?'
I never asked why
I don't want to cry
all those times I watched and did nothing
I never thought I would want to take my life
but now as I breath my last I see you walk away
yes you watched on...and did nothing
will this nothing turn into something.
Don't tell me to cut my strings
When I've been sawing away at them
For years
In my mind, all there is
Is knives.
They cut,
They saw,
They slaughter my mind.
The blades plague my every thought.
How do I break them?
How do I do it?
I saw him today
He seemed happy,
He is happy, you know.
So I'm happy, too.
I saw you
I adored you
I loved you
I missed you
I yearned for you
And now
I'm scared
I feel like
I'm starting
to hate you
It rained for a week in the desert
at first we thought it was some kind of miracle
but then
we all started to drown
- I thought I saw you yesterday

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is left wondering about the consequences of the recent Supreme Court ruling that consensual sex between adults of the same gender is an offence.
The 71-year-old took to his blog Wednesday night to share his thoughts on the ruling.
"The Supreme Court has passed judgment that homosexuality is a crime...and that has triggered a massive reaction among those that have till now had the preference of choice, as per human rights, to lead their life the way they wish to...I wonder where this shall lead to," Big B posted on srbachchan.tumblr.com.
Several big names from the film industry like Aamir Khan, John Abraham, Anupam Kher, Kalki Koechlin, Riteish Deshmukh, Neha Dhupia and Rahul Bose had also posted their disappointment over the ruling on micro-blogging site Twitter Wednesday.

We are huge fans of Black River Imaging! When I was re-designing my front living space, I knew I wanted a photo wall. I have a big wall with vaulted ceilings and knew how amazing big canvas wraps would look. So I planned out my gallery wall! I couldn't wait to share how it turned out! I LOVE it! I wish you could see it in person. These photos do not do it justice:)
I chose recent photos of my children with blues and grays, which tied perfectly into my new room colors and decor.
Black River Imaging has different options. You can order one of their Gallery Wrap Clusters, or make your own wall using their canvas wrap dimensions (they have many sizes to choose from.
I love the options. You can choose which kind of sides your Canvas has… I chose a light gray around mine. They had many colors and options.
I also LOVE their Split Image Wraps.
I was so excited when my gallery wraps arrived! They couldn't have turned out better. Seeing my kids sweet faces makes me happy, especially this summer when I have to remind myself how sweet they really are (they are wearing me out!)
I chose to use nine 16×20 gallery wraps for my photo wall. I used an individual of each child, one of the children together and some different groupings. I like the mix of close ups and groupings.
I spaced each canvas 2.5 inches apart. Using a level helped make the job quick!
This month until July 31st ALL of Black River Imaging's canvas wraps are 50% off! SUCH an amazing deal! Where could you add a gallery wall or gallery wrap in your home? You don't want to miss this great deal:)

Per FanGraphs, Cubs have a 72.5% chance of winning today. Jinx! Next highest percentage on today's games is D-backes with a 64.7% chance (Greinke vs. Cesar Vargas, in Arizona.)
Phil, when will the Cubs start moving international players from EST to the Dominican for the start of the DSL season?
It was a nice barehand pick-up but he was close enough to 1st where he could underhand the ball to Bryant. The trouble he's had has been with the overhand throw. He's definitely working on it, but I don't know if that play was a good example of progress made.
Phil, have you heard anything about the condition of Oscar De La Cruz's elbow? Has there been talk of a time table? Is he throwing?
i was distracted for most of the game and also missed the first few innings.
but yeah, any time he makes a good fielding+throwing play on D it's worthy of praise and a trip to pizza hut for a personal pan pizza and $1 worth of songs on the juke box.
seriously, i'll take it.
BTW, CRUNCH, Lester made a nice bh pick-up and toss to Bryant. Did you catch it?
He's been workin' on the D!
j.urias didn't have a good debut...
2.2ip 5h 4bb 3k...3 r/er...1 wp
81 pitches. yow.
Ach - I really only saw it quickly and thought that's where it it. No matter - he crushed it and the video board people did not have to repair the panels from what I saw!
Totally agree with that re Soler, whereas Bryant seems to get the close call (so far) this year.
Good to see Baez get a couple knocks today - been awhile
that works too...there wasnt a good CSN replay...was going off whatever len or jd (dont remember) said.
I was there. From what I saw it was upper third of the scoreboard
No I have been thinking actually that he seems to lead the Cubs with balls called strikes all year. He really shouldn't be expanding his zone to swing at many of those either because it wouldn't lead to anything good. He's seeing the ball well though so hopefully it'll even out.
So why don't the umps like Soler, or am I just imagining it?
Yeah, but he kills lefties.
wow...instant hardcore rain.
rain delay.
it was massive...hit off the bottom of the LF scoreboard.

Red Hat Satellite 5.3 Gets New Functionality
The new version of the Red Hat Satellite server expands functionality, including in the areas of client management and the API.
The newly integrated Cobbler installation software should make sys admin tasks such as package installation, channel subscriptions to the Red Hat network and DHCP and DNS configurations easier. Cobbler also works with the Koan tool to help clone existing systems in virtual environments.
New to version 5.3 is also the possibility to migrate to remote locations in so-called "trust relationships" between two mor more organizations. Along with it is a new synchronization function that brings systems between a master and slave satellite to an equal status. Red Hat even highlights the expanded API: what is possible in the Web interface is now also possible in the programming interface.
Further enhancements are listed on the Red Hat News page and the Satellite FAQ includes some specifics on pricing
The Cobbler Linux installation server was first tried out in the community version of the Satellite server, the Spacewalk project. Red Hat first provided Satellite in this form and open source in 2008.
With the Red Hat Network Satellite Server system management software sys admins can provide their systems with updates and manage large and distributed infrastructures.

Average Customer Review: based on 29 reviews.Rating: Economical functional replacement straps.
Hi there,I have a pair of IDI POWER FIN,THE STRAPS ARE 1 3/16 WIDE 1/8 THICK 24 INCHES LONG,ARE THESE CLOSE TO THE SAME SIZE?
Does this strap fit U.S. Divers Aqua Lung Rocket fins with the metal buckles? If so, is the material similar to the original straps? I also see that they are labeled XS. What foot sizes will they accommodate on the Rocket fins? Thank you.
The straps on my Tusa Liberator X fins are dry rotted. Will this strap work as a replacement?
Hello Brian, no that strap will not work for your fin. The one that will work for your fin would be the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-113/012033/H2O-Fin-Strap.html.
Darrick answered the first question saying the straps were 17" long and a later question saying they were 21", How long are they? I need a long strap, as my daughter gave me a new pair of booties with hard bottoms, and I will require a long pair of straps to go around the heels.
Hi, I am looking for replacement straps for an old (but perfectly functional) pair of fins, Sherwood Mini. Any idea where I could find this? Thanks in advance, Alain.
Hello Alain, the strap you are looking for that will work with your fins are the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-113/012033/H2O-Fin-Strap.html. Those would work better than the XS Scuba straps.

Dry Eye Syndrome (also called dry eye disease, dysfunctional tear syndrome, and keratitis sicca) is a poorly functioning tear layer covering the cornea and conjunctiva, usually caused by inadequate quantity and/or quality of the tears.
The cornea can develop an infection. Such infections can be mild to severe. Risk factors for infection include contact lens wear, eye trauma and certain corneal conditions. Mild infections are often treated with frequent antibiotic drops. More severe infections may be cultured in the office or emergency room and then treated with frequent specially-made fortified antibiotics around the clock. Patients with severe corneal ulcers are seen regularly, often every day, until the infection appears to be improving. Most corneal ulcers resolve with antibiotic drop treatment.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

This question is about using the dust.js templating system with paths to data in sub-contexts. My intention is to support i18n using a map of keys to strings.
Given data like this:
{i18n : { firstname : "First Name" },
people : [
{"name" : "Moe"},
{"name" : "Curly"}
In dust you can use sections to list each person:
And you can use a path to get access to the firstname i18n string:
But the following does not work:
{i18n.firstname}: {name}
In fact, the documentation specifically says:
To avoid brittle and confusing references, paths never backtrack up the context stack. If you need to drill into a key available within the parent context, pass the key as a parameter.
So I try and pass the key as a parameter:
{#people i18n=i18n}
{i18n.firstname}: {name}
But this doesn't work. When I experiment with this on the dust homepage, I see the compiled template has this code:
"i18n": ctx.get("i18n")
Which makes me think the above example should work fine.
So what gives? How can I make this work?
Note: The following does work:
{#people firstname=i18n.firstname}
{firstname}: {name}
But this doesn't work well if you need to access a lot of i18n keys within the people context.

Medicaid cuts may affect care in Oklahoma
Budget cuts at the agency that administers the state's Medicaid program could make it more difficult for patients to get the medical care they need, members of the state's medical association said Thursday. Cuts to Medicaid reimbursements approved by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority on Thursday will mean doctors get paid less for providing care to people enrolled in SoonerCare. Doctors that provide care to SoonerCare patients will see their reimbursement rates cut by 6.75 percent beginning April 1. Nearly 700,000 people are enrolled in the SoonerCare health care program each month. More than half of those enrolled in the state's Medicaid program are children. "We are in a tough, tough situation," board chairman Lyle Roggow said. "This was an order that came down to us. It is huge, it really is. Someone else put us in this position." A recent survey of members of the Oklahoma State Medical Association showed that about 46 percent said they would stop seeing new Medicaid patients if the initial 3.25 percent rate cut remained in place. About 66 percent of those surveyed said they would stop seeing Medicaid patients altogether if cuts to providers approached 10 percent. The medical association said 204 doctors responded to the survey. "Nobody wants to turn patients away, but if the reimbursement, as proposed, becomes less than the cost of providing the care, physicians who see large numbers of Medicaid patients will be faced with very hard choices if they want to stay in business," said Dr. Duane Koehler, president of the Oklahoma Osteopathic Association. The cuts approved are part of an overall plan to trim $12.1 million from the agency's budget. The agency must file a balanced budget report by next week. Cutting $12.1 million from the Health Care Authority's budget means a loss of more than $32 million in federal matching funds. "We have been directed to cut the budget. We have no recourse," board member Tony Armstrong said. "It will jeopardize a network we have worked to establish in Oklahoma to provide care to a needy population. Our hands are tied. We don't control the purse strings. We don't even know where the purse is now."
Victim of tight budgetOther cuts that were approved as part of the budget reduction included reductions in payments for emergency tooth extraction for adults, reduced payments to kidney dialysis centers, and reduced payments for diabetic supplies. The board decided against cuts to programs that pay for circumcisions for newborns on Medicaid. That change would have saved the authority $108,662 this fiscal year. Last year the agency paid for nearly 10,000 circumcisions. Gov. Brad Henry said the reimbursement rates were an unfortunate consequence of the tight budget year. "I don't want to see medical professionals through the state deny Medicaid patients, and I urge them not to," Henry said. "I hope they understand that this a historic budget cut. It's not good to lose federal dollars. We hate to cut dollars where we lose federal dollars, but we're to that point." CONTRIBUTING: SUSAN SIMPSON, STAFF WRITER
Cuts worry advocates
Advocates for people with mental illness are concerned about a cost-cutting measure that will go next month before the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. The proposal would create a tier system for a group of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. Medicaid patients would have to try the cheapest medication first, a generic, even if a doctor prescribed a more expensive brand-name drug. If the medication fails, a patient can move up the tier system and try the next cheapest drug. Advocate Paul Davis said that could be dangerous because if a drug fails, the patients may become violent or suicidal. He said newer and more expensive drugs work quicker and have fewer side effects. Some law enforcement officials also are concerned about the change. Stacey Puckett, director of the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, said officers will be responding to more mental health crisis calls. "We are putting people at risk, law enforcement, clients, family members and the community as a whole," she said. "Those dollars (saved) aren't just dollars. Those are human beings we are sending further into the darkness of mental illness." The Drug Utilization Board, a recommending group to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, has approved the change. The next authority meeting is March 11 in Oklahoma City. Susan Simpson, Staff Writer

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

The original aerials were in vulnerable positions so we've repositioned them out of harm's way - looks a little like mission control though!
