Paul Pasqualoni Unfiltered – V
Ask any player who has dressed for a playoff game and the one consistent thing they tell you is the speed of the game ratchets up a degree or two.
The unit that's usually turning the intensity dial up is typically the defense, which tightens in coverage, requiring receivers to run crisper routes, and applies more pressure to quarterbacks, which applies pressure on pass blocking.
The Dolphins defense has improved under Paul Pasqualoni this season, and has even shown the potential to be dominant. But they admittedly haven't brought the heat with consistency in 2008.
"To be a top echelon defense you've got to be dominant all the time. You can't be dominant sometimes, and that's what we do," said outside linebacker Joey Porter, the most seasoned of all the Dolphins' playoff vets. "We show spurts of being brilliant out there, and then give up some plays that's not characteristic of our defense. That won't put you up there."
What will put the Dolphins up there, and help them advance to the next round of the playoffs, will be strong showing from Pasqualoni's unit.
Here's what Pasqualoni had to say heading into Sunday's Wild Card game against the Ravens.
What's the difference in Joe Flacco in Week Seven and now?
"I think he's gotten better every single week. He's very, very comfortable with what they're doing. I think the first thing is the overall understanding of all of the concepts they're into, what they're trying to do in the run game and what they're trying to do throwing the ball. He looks very good, he's making all of the throws, he's a big guy at 6'6, about 240 pounds, he runs I think a little faster than people give him credit for, he's hard to knock down on the ground, he's just more confident, he's more comfortable back there and just playing very, very good football right now. I think the team, the guys he's got around him are reflecting that. I think they show great confidence in him. They've done a terrific job."
What challenges does Le'Ron McClain present at running back?
"I think he's a great example of a guy who was given an opportunity to do something, which was run the ball, and he grabbed that opportunity and took off with it. He's a very big guy, he comes downhill and his shoulder pads are behind him, he runs with great lean. He's got quick feet, his feet are a little quicker, he can make you miss, he can run you over, he can make you miss. He's a very, very productive guy and just gives them a big guy back there, really a fullback playing tailback."
Are teams doing anything different against Joey Porter in recent weeks considering he's in a sack drought?
"Those things as we have talked earlier in the year, my experience has been, they usually run hot and cold. Joey over the last couple of weeks has had more than a few very, very close, very, very good rushes where the ball has gotten off. Last week, we played a guy who has the ability to just throw the ball, will not take a sack, is going to back up and throw it off his back foot to get rid of it to avoid the sack, throw it away down the middle of the field; he had one penalty on that. I think that it's a combination of things; it runs hot and cold, I think Joey's working hard and playing with great, great effort. I think those things will come around for him."
How important it is to have someone complement Porter on the other side of the defense?
"It's important that if you rush four, that you've got a good four man rush. If you're rushing five, you've got to rush very hard and do a great job with five. If you're bringing six, everybody's got to know what they're doing. Regardless of how many you bring, I think you've got to do a great job. In this day and age with the formations and the spread out concepts that offenses are running, it's imperative that you rush the passer and everybody's got to contribute. That's critically important."
What has André Goodman done to assist his midseason turnaround?
"I think that André, like a lot of guys on our defense, worked very, very hard each day on the fundamentals, techniques that they need to play the position. If you do that and you don't just give it lip service, but if you really believe as a player, whether you're a first-year player or a ten-year player, there's a certain number of tools that you have to have in your toolbox to play your position, and you're constantly working on keeping those tools sharp, keeping those tools clean and ready to go. I think if you really believe that, you always have something to come back and hang your hat on in a tough spot and tough games. We've been in a bunch of tough games and I think that that's what André does. I think he comes out here every day and he works on the little things. There are no gimmicks, there's no, 'Well, I'm not prepared for this'. I think that if you're that kind of player and you work that hard, you can take the field on Sunday with great confidence that you've done everything you can do to prepare yourself to play and you're ready to play. I don't believe that there's greater motivation that a player can have than that, than having put the time in, the work in, paid attention to the details then go out there and go and play hard, and I think that's what he's done. I think there's a lot of players on our team that are doing that."
Was Goodman taking too many chances early in the season?
"I think initially, going back to when the season started, I think we were all working on a lot of things. I think we were trying to get a feel for exactly what the defense is and how to play the coverages and where we were back there. I just think it's a product of becoming more comfortable and more confident what he's doing and understanding the overall big picture. I think he's had a number of games now for a long while where he's played good football."
What imprint has Todd Bowles' had on the secondary, and do you think he's ready to be a head coach?
"Todd's an outstanding coach. He played back there; he's got a great feel for the game. He had a lot of success as a player. He's able to help the guys in the back with not only what the coverage is, but how to play the coverage and what the style, what the skill of the receivers who are playing. He has a good feel for exactly who those people are, so he's able to relate that and he's able to communicate that well to the guys back there and help them through the course of the season and the course of the game with that. Todd's been a very good secondary coach; I think whatever role Todd is in, he's going to do a good job with it, whatever position that would be."
How would you evaluate the play of your rookie defensive linemen?
"They're getting better. Phil (Merling) had a great feel for that screen pass last week; he kind of read it. What I was really pleased with, about that was when he felt it, he turned and he went hard, 100 miles an hour to the screen. That was something that with a team that runs as many as screens as they ran, the success that they had with the screens, especially with number 29 (Leon Washington) running them. Ironically, they took 29 out on that play and put 20 (Thomas Jones) in order to kind of keep us off balanced a little bit. It even startled me a little. I said, 'Well 29's out, that's probably not going to be a screen', this play low and behold was a screen. He recognized it and he went and he went hard. I think that he and Kendall (Langford) are getting better, they've got a ways to go, but they're young, good, aggressive players. They're going to grow in the weight room, their futures are all ahead of them, they're just scratching the surface right now, in my opinion of what they're going to be able to do if they keep their nose to the grindstone, tend to their mitten, so to speak, work on that toolbox we always talk about. I think that they're going to have a chance to be good players….. When you get young guys like those two young guys and you get into the heat of the battle against some of these teams in this league, you don't exactly know. You're in a game last week against the Jets to win the conference championship and these two guys aren't backing down from anybody now. You're in a big game and they're making plays and they're competing and they're very tough and they're very competitive. Those are great, great things to see in young players."
How much pass rush are you getting without blitzing?
"I think that at times, it's good. I don't think you can always evaluate, as you watch the film, and as a coach when you grade it and you're watching and you're evaluating each particular individual in the scheme overall. There's a lot of factors that are involved. Are they chipping? Who are they double-teaming? Which way is the protecting going? How quickly is he getting it out of his hands? What's the quarterback's footwork like? Is he one of these guys that's got the ability when he sees the rush coming to move away from it and then throw the ball? Is he strong enough to throw it? Has he been coached to throw it away regardless of what happens? Is he a quarterback that holds the ball? There are so many things that you have to take into consideration when you evaluate the pass rush and the thing that we've been the most pleased with is that upfront with our guys, they've given great effort and they rush the passer hard. Would we like to have more sacks and more pressures? I think everybody in the league would like to have more sacks and more pressures. That's us included, but they're working really hard at it."
What part of the secondary has come along the furthest?
"We talk a lot about playing team defense. We talked a lot about being a player and not being a robot, flying around the field, but playing within the structure of the defense. There is a very fine line there; you want to turn them loose, but you don't want them doing their own thing. You want them to have a feel and a sense of judgment in regards to making plays. That's a tough thing to balance and I think each unit - the front, the secondary, the linebackers – have worked hard. We haven't been perfect, but I think they're playing as a team, that's kind of the way you have to play and that's our philosophy."
Has working together for three seasons helped the level of communication in the secondary?
"Yeah, I think there communication back there is very good. It helps when you have real good communicators and you have guys that really study. We're fortunate in the fact that Renaldo Hill is a very good communicator and he's the free safety back there and he can really communicate well. Will Allen is another one who's a good communication guy and Notty (Renaldo Hill), Y.B. (Yeremiah Bell), they know each other; they understand each other. So I think the communication back there has been pretty good."
So, what have you learned? And what's your prediction for Sunday's showdown.

Kendall Johnson has a vision of keeping local homeless men off the streets and in steady jobs, though he knows it's going to take a lot more than desire to make it happen.
As executive director of The Humble Abode of South Carolina, a newly formed nonprofit organization geared toward helping homeless men, Johnson is trying to gather support and funding to open a shelter in Lancaster County.
"There's a need everywhere, and Lancaster County needs it more than anyone," he said.
For emergency responders using the county's current radio system, a simple 911 call can quickly turn dangerous if they run into one of the county's many "dead zones" and can't radio for help.
County officials plan to fix that problem by spending $7.5 million on the new Palmetto 800 public safety radio system, which Lancaster County Council approved Dec. 14.

CHESTER – In terms of economic development, Chester County and the surrounding area may have an ecstatic New Year.
Project 1429, the county's code-name for what would be the largest single business investment in S.C. history, appears to be coming in for a landing. The unnamed company behind the project plans to spend $1.6 billion and create 1,400 permanent jobs.

As of noon Dec. 22, five candidates have filed in the special election for Lancaster mayor.
Anthony Elder, Altheresa Goode-Howard, Charles Vann Jr., Garrett Williams and Lancaster City Councilman John Howard have filed to fill the unexpired term of the late Joe Shaw, which runs through 2018.
Shaw died Nov. 29. The special election to fill the mayor's seat is Feb. 23.

An Indian Land man was arrested last weekend for shooting his girlfriend in the neck with a rifle.
Russell Osbourne, 35, of 512 Silver Run Road, was arrested early Dec. 20 for use of a firearm under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
A Lancaster County Sheriff's Office statement said Osbourne himself called 911 about 10:30 p.m. to report the shooting. When deputies arrived, they found Osbourne's 28-year-old girlfriend bleeding from a gunshot to the neck.
The Ward Faulkenberry Christmas Basket Fund party drew 271 special guests Dec. 12 at First Baptist Church.
"More than 200 children and their families and caregivers were treated to a hot breakfast, a gift or two and a stocking," said Bekah Clawson, executive director of HOPE (Helping Other People Effectively) in Lancaster.
Nearly 21,100 children will soon experience the joy of Christmas, thanks to the combined efforts of the Lancaster community and residents from surrounding counties.
Residents packed empty shoeboxes with small items like toys, school supplies and hygiene items for Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse that sends gifts to children living in difficult situations around the world.
Late at night in the parking lot at Lancaster's Walmart, police were filling out a report on a car break-in when a woman walked up and told them her vehicle also had been broken into. The officers filed a second report.
Now that woman, Ashley Gordon, 28, of 2009 Miller Ridge Lane, has been charged in the initial break-in and seven other vehicle break-ins on the same night at Dalton Ridge Apartments.
The Walmart incident happened about 11 p.m. Dec. 9, after a shopper reported a car had been broken into.
HEATH SPRINGS – An unexpected $6,780 bill recently submitted for leaf and limb pick-up in Heath Springs can be paid in full without exceeding the town's landscaping budget.
Darren Sowell, owner of Sowell's Lawn Care, submitted the bill earlier this month, and Heath Springs Town Council voted to pay the invoice at its Dec. 15 meeting.
Sowell has a $54,298 annual contract for the town's landscaping services.

Sushi Rock Cafe Restaurant Review: Miamis most rambunctious sushi bar is popular with the party crowd. Big boats bearing sumo-sized quantities of the Japanese delicacies are whisked to the tables. Festive groups of tourists and cliques of singles gearing up to head into the night find Sushi Rock a perfect place to start. Lotsa saké everywhere. Extraordinary hand rolls integrate international ingredients. Blasts of hip music and skimpy outfits remind you that youre in South Beachs favorite Japanese restaurant. Frenetic and fun---but gimmicks aside, the sushis great.

November has been declared National Diabetes Month and the Arkansas County Health Units in DeWitt and Stuttgart are bringing awareness to this ever-growing disease in the United States.
"We want everyone in the county to be aware of this disease," Wanda Vester, Arkansas County Health Unit Administrator, said.
Vester said declaring November as National Diabetes Month is an important element in this effort, with programs designed to focus the nation's attention on the issues surrounding diabetes and the many people who are impacted by the disease.
"Raising awareness of this disease in Arkansas County is essential to the citizens," Vester said. "This disease can be controlled."
Diabetes is a disease in which the body is unable to regulate blood sugar properly and can be associated with serious complications and premature death.
There are two types of diabetes, Type 1, which is called juvenile diabetes, which is insulin dependent and occurs in children and young adults; Type 2 diabetes is often called old aged diabetes, but not necessarily.
Approximately 227,000 Arkansans have diabetes, which means an estimated 7.4 percent have been told that they have diabetes and that accounts for 151,000 people, thus 75,000 remain undiagnosed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Diabetes can also cause serious complications in other areas," Vester said. "Diabetes can cause kidney disease, eye disease, foot problems, dental disease and pregnancy complication for women."
Here are the national statistics on diabetes:
• Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United states have diabetes.
• Another 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
• The American Diabetes Association estimates that the total national cost of diagnosed diabetes in the United States is $174 billion.
"We want everyone in Arkansas County to check their diabetes to remain healthy," Vester said. "We have all kinds of information at the health units in DeWitt and Stuttgart."
For more information contact the Arkansas County Health Units in Stuttgart at (870) 673-1609 and DeWitt at (870) 946-2934.

I am starting the year with two mentees: one in China and one in Russia. We meet every two weeks. In both cases the mentees drive the agenda. They state their career goals and ask me to help in specific ways.
These meetings are a fascinating opportunity to discover the intersections and differences between cultures. It still surprises me how my software engineering business relationships have not only become increasingly international, but also geographically distributed.
The mentoring relationships began in the context of EMC's Fellow and Distinguished Engineer (FDE) mentoring program. As each new class of FDEs is inducted, they have the opportunity to be trained as a mentor. Global employees that wish to follow the FDE track now have a pool of accomplished mentors to choose from.
After several discussions with my Russian mentee (Alexey), we have arrived at a mentoring engagement strategy that is worth socializing. We have decided that an output of our mentoring engagement will include two re-usable assets:
- An educational use case on innovation, targeted at aspiring innovators.
- An educational use case on innovation mentoring, targeted at Fellows and Distinguished Engineers.
Here are the steps that we followed to arrive at our decision:
- Alexey shared that one of his primary goals is to innovate in his area of expertise.
- I shared my opinion that Venn Diagram Innovation builds on expertise and sent him a PDF copy of the book fully describing this approach.
- Alexey read the book and responded with a desire to teach the Venn Diagram method to his peers in Russia.
- I responded that he could better teach the course once he had followed the model and achieved some sort of result.
- He agreed to document his own experiences as he intentionally applied himself to innovation in his area of expertise. Let's call this an "Innovation Mentee Story".
- I agreed to document the advice I give him during the mentoring sessions (and any actions I take in between the mentoring sessions). Let's call this the "Innovation Mentor Story".
- He agreed that the Innovation Mentee Story would not only have appeal when shared with his Russian co-workers, but it would likely have global appeal if shared with EMC's Global Innovation Best Practices Community.
- I agreed that the Innovation Mentor Story would be a valuable asset to the Fellow and Distinguished Engineer community, who could likewise borrow from this approach and help other mentees to innovate.
During our mentoring engagement, Alexey will begin to build an Innovation Mentee Story. This story will describe the outline of Venn Diagram Innovation, and then fill in his personal experiences as he tried to apply the approach.
I will begin to build an Innovation Mentor Story. This story will also describe the basics of Venn Diagram Innovation, and I will contribute the customized advice and help that I gave to Alexey as he attempted to innovate in his area of expertise.
These assets can then be re-used by our co-workers.
Our final agreement (which has led to this blog post) is that we can share this story publicly, in the hopes that others in the industry can either benefit from the approach, or contribute suggestions to help us improve our experience as we go along.
This first post begins the Innovation Mentoring Tale

Click on the flags below to download The Communiqué in different languages. Translations were created from the English wording of the Communiqué.
The Trillion Tonne Communiqué is a global call to arms from businesses who take the science of climate change seriously and are demanding a proactive policy response.
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sets out the link between the cumulative total of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the resultant global climate change. It warns that if atmospheric emissions exceed more than a trillion tonnes of carbon from CO2 then the global average temperature increase is likely to exceed 2°C.
The risks of this level of climate change are too significant to ignore and The Communiqué draws out the implications of this by identifying three clear goals that a policy framework that keeps cumulative emissions below a trillion tonnes will need to deliver on. These goals have been chosen because of their ability to clarify the scale and nature of the transformation required.
Over 1,000 companies from more than 60 countries have signed up to at least one previous Communiqué. Please sign The Trillion Tonne Communiqué and join the growing number of influential business leaders showing support for an urgent and robust policy response to climate change.

Our latest depression has formed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, just slightly north of the equator. We are in the "time slot" now where the Atlantic activity peaks, with the majority of most named cyclones forming in August or September.
Depression 5 will have quite a battle on its hands the next few days with some dry air and wind shear. Coupled with that it is moving extremely fast, little development is expected until early next week.
Today's charts reveal a slight change in the overall steering flow next week, as an upper high over the central Atlantic retrogrades to the northeast. This will allow a modest northwest turn into the Caribbean Sea and near the Gulf of Mexico around about Wednesday the 8th. At which point, the steering winds also relax and allow the depression to settle in over some very warm waters in the Caribbean.The very latest GFS forecast, which has been actually reliable this season, depicts a moderate tropical storm roaming the northern Gulf of Mexico around Aug 10-12. The GFS latches onto an overall change in the steering pattern mentioned above. To contrast, the ECMWF and the HWRF both keep a general strong west path with the depression and keep that large "heat dome" in place over the southern U.S. — this pattern would deflect tropical weather well south of the States.
As always, with tropical cyclones this far out, it will be IMPOSSIBLE to predict a landfall. Only a general path can be outlined at this time. And, with so many other atmospheric factors to overcome, Depression 5 will have to be watched day-by-day as it fluctuates in strength.

The taste of this is very bland. I needed to add some salt to get some kind of taste to it. People who aren't used to spicy food might find this too spicy, although according to my taste, I'd say it medium spicy. All in all, it's not something I'd consider eating if I have the time to make something, but for those days that you cannot seem to find time, it does it's job by filling you up.

State Department Official To Deliver Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Keynote Address at the Library of Congress
Harold Hongju Koh, Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, will deliver the 2000 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month keynote address at the Library of Congress on Wednesday, May 17, in Room LJ119 of the Thomas Jefferson Building, at 10 a.m. The lecture is free and open to the public.
"We are pleased to have Mr. Koh as the keynote speaker for this year's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month observance," said Carl Whisenton, Director of the Dispute Resolution Center and the Equal Employment Opportunity Complaints Office. "In keeping with this year's theme of Voices for the Millennium, Mr. Koh has made his voice heard in the areas of international law, human rights, constitutional law, and international business and trade. As the nation's chief human rights officer, his basic philosophy is that democratic participation is an entitlement, not a privilege, and that the truth must be told about human rights conditions throughout the world."
Mr. Koh received a B.A. degree from Harvard University in 1975, an Honors B.A. from Magdalen College, Oxford University, in 1977, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1980. He began his career in private practice in Washington and as an attorney at the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice. He clerked for both Judge Malcolm Richard Wilkey of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun. He subsequently held the joint position of Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law and Director of the Orville H. Schell Jr. Center for International Human Rights at Yale Law School. He has been a visiting Fellow and Lecturer at Magdalen and All Souls Colleges, Oxford University, and has taught at The Hague Academy of International Law, the University of Toronto, and the George Washington University National Law Center.
Mr. Koh is the author or editor of several books on international relations, law and human rights. He has received numerous honors for his publications and his human rights work, including the 1991 Richard E. Neustadt Award from the American Political Science Association for the best book on the American Presidency, a 1996 Guggenheim Fellowship, an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the City University of New York Law School, the Asian American Bar Association of New York's 1997 Outstanding Lawyer of the Year Award and recognition by American Lawyer magazine in 1997 as one of the county's 45 leading public sector lawyers under the age of 45.
Nominated by President Clinton, and confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Koh was sworn in on Nov. 13, 1998, as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. In this position, he advises Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on U.S. Policy on human rights, labor, the rule of law, and religious freedom.

A place mat, one of over 250, created by students in Wakefield-Marenisco and Bessemer is shown. The place mats will be in local restaurants next week in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month and the "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" rally.
WAKEFIELD — Gogebic County Community Mental Health is planning a "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" rally on Wednesday, May 29, with registration at 10:30 a.m. and the rally beginning at 11 a.m. at the new pavilion at Sunday Lake in Wakefield.
If inclement weather arises, the event will take place at the Wakefield VFW.
It is the second year of the rally in Gogebic County, which commemorates May as Mental Health Awareness Month, according to a news release.
"The walk-a-mile event is to help people see what it's like to have a mental illness or a developmental disability and to have others realize that the teasing and stigma need to stop," said Missy Lane, chairperson of Gogebic County CMH's anti-stigma committee.
"Our committee is so passionate about raising awareness and decreasing the stigma associated with mental illness and developmental disabilities. Our message to the community is to accept individuals for who they are, and to focus on their abilities, not disabilities," she said.
The Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards conducted its ninth annual rally on May 8 at the Capitol Building in Lansing, with more than 2,500 people participating from Michigan's 83 counties.
MACMHB's first rally was in 2005.
Gogebic County CMH plans its own rally because of the long distance to Lansing.
Last year's rally drew 100 people, Lane said. "Seven people spoke at the open mic, and there wasn't a dry eye in the pavillion," said Lane. "It was emotional and overwhelming. People don't ask for what they have and should be treated respectfully."
In Michigan, one in four adults and 10 percent of children experience some form of emotional or mental disorder, Lane said.
Gogebic County CMH served 483 people in the past year, Lane said.
Committee member Mary Priante went into the Wakefield-Marenisco School and A.D. Johnston High School and Washington Elementary School in Bessemer in January and February to teach students about mental illness and give them the opportunity to create place-mats and gift bags for the rally, Lane said. The place-mats will be used in local restaurants next week, and the originals will be on display in the Gogebic County CMH's lobby.
This year's rally theme is "Be Kind to Everyone." This can mean banning the r-word and replacing it with another r-word —respect, Lane said.
Phil Hefner will present the keynote address at the rally. He is the training coordinator from Northpointe CMH in Kingsford. Gogebic County CMH representatives will begin the walk, with consumers, parents and guardians encouraged to join in.
Light refreshments will be available after the walk.

Fifteen year old Jasolyn Lazu-Spring has been missing from her South Windsor, Connecticut home for nearly a week. She was last seen on March 18 and is believed to be in the Hartford area. She is a petite girl, at 4'11", weighing 105 pounds. She has brown eyes and shoulder length hair that is usually brown, but may have been dyed blonde. She was last seen wearing jeans and a black leather jacket.
It is believed that this teen ran away, as she has before, but that doesn't mean she is not in danger. There's no telling the atrocities that could befall a young girl alone in a large city. When will teenagers learn they are not invincible? Do they not read the news and see that terrible things happen to kids like them every day? And do they not care about the people at home who are worrying about them? Surely her family is frantic.
Hopefully this teenager comes to her senses and goes home. In addition to the serious concern for her safety, time and resources that should be allocated somewhere else are being used to locate her. If she were behaving like the adult she is pretending to be, she would see how selfish that is. If you have any information about Jasolyn's whereabouts, please call the South Windsor Police Department at 860-644-2551.

Aaron Rodgers
The guy I want to be like is Tom Brady. That's because he has won three Super Bowls, has had a ton of success and has done it the right way.
Aaron Rodgers Biography
Aaron Rodgers is no stranger to adversity. A native of Chico, California, this 6'2" signal caller was passed over by every major college in the nation, despite throwing for 4,419 yards over the course of his final two years of high school. Undeterred, Rodgers enrolled at nearby Butte College, where he led the Roadrunners to a sparkling 10-1 record and a NorCal Conference championship while throwing for 2,408 yards and 28 TDs. His eye-popping production earned him NorCal Conference and region MVP honors and third-team All-America mention from JC Grid-Wire.
Aaron Rodgers Is Discovered
Rodgers likely would have remained little more than a junior college star if University of California head coach Jeff Tedford hadn't noticed him while scouting his teammate Garrett Cross. Impressed with his mechanics and feel for the game, Tedford offered the young field general a scholarship and gave him an opportunity to compete for Cal's starting QB job.
Aaron Rodgers Becomes A Star At Cal
Rodgers happily accepted the invitation and immediately began to outwork and outperform every QB on Tedford's depth charts. His persistence earned him the team's starting job by the fifth game of the 2003 season, and he went on to throw for 2,903 yards and 19 TDs while leading Cal to its first bowl appearance since 1996. Rodgers continued to impress observers the following year as he threw for 2,566 yards and 24 touchdowns while guiding Cal to a 10-1 record and the school's second consecutive bowl appearance. His precise passing and superb play-calling earned him All-Pac-10 honors, and he finished ninth in balloting for the Heisman Trophy as college football's top player.
Aaron Rodgers Is Drafted By Green Bay
Rodgers decided to forgo his final year of eligibility, and many experts believed he would be selected by San Francisco with the first overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. But the 49ers opted instead for young gunslinger Alex Smith, and a visibly disappointed Rodgers was still available near the end of the first round when he was nabbed by Green Bay. It was hardly an ideal situation for Rodgers, as the Packers already had Brett Favre entrenched in the position. The gritty Pro Bowler was just coming off his first MVP season and, complicating matters even further, was in the midst of the longest consecutive games streak in the history of the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers Waits For His Chance To Shine
Rodgers appeared in only seven games over the next three seasons and patiently waited for his chance to assume control of the Packers' offense. He continued to work hard in practice and said all the rights things, but it was painfully clear he would never have an opportunity to play meaningful minutes so long as Favre was still on the roster.
Aaron Rodgers Proves His Worth
Favre finally passed the torch to Rodgers in 2008 when he formally announced he would be retiring from the NFL. He later reversed his decision, but by then, it was too late, as Green Bay had already made a firm commitment to Rodgers. It proved to be a savvy decision, and the Chico native became just the fourth QB in team history to surpass 4,000 yards in a single season by throwing for 4,038 yards and 28 touchdowns while starting all 16 games. Unfortunately the Packers didn't fare quite as well and missed the playoffs after falling to 6-10.
Aaron Rodgers Leads The Packers Into The Playoffs
Rodgers continued his rapid ascent in 2009 by throwing for 4,434 yards and 30 touchdowns while leading the Packers back into the playoffs. His prolific passing allowed him to become the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in each of his first two seasons as a starter. It also earned him a trip to Hawaii, where he participated in his first Pro Bowl.
Aaron Rodgers Leads The Packers At Super Bowl XLV
Rodgers enjoyed another phenomenal season in 2010, as he threw for 3,922 yards and 28 touchdowns while leading the 10-6 Packers into the postseason for the second consecutive year. The 27-year-old continued to deliver in the playoffs by throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns in a gutsy 31-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. His gritty, mistake-free performance earned him the game's MVP honors.

Kangaroo farts could fight global warming: scientists
By avalon on Dec 05, 2007
With our illustrious Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, signing up to the Kyoto Protocol to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions, the focus is now on how to get there. Fresh of the starting block is this story "Kangaroo farts could fight global warming: scientists" from the ABC. How will this turn out? Who knows! Maybe cows will be alergic to the bacteria from kangaroos or it will have some other strange side effect, other than the one intended. But this isn't the only way in which the kangaroo can help fight greenhouse gas emissions.
Using kangaroo meat as an alternative to beef is not new. In October of this year, Greenpace was urging kangaroo consumption as a means to cut back on beef production in light of the contributions of that industry to methane production.
However it isn't smooth sailing to get here. In Australia, there is vigorous dicussion (the picture in that story being a good example of how many Australians feel) about the pro's and con's of "eating skippy" - or rather, eating our national emblem.
But if in harvesting more kangaroos allows us to reduce the number of head of cattle, surely we should "think global and act local"?

Moving beyond the ego
Thursday, February 07, 2008
When I was in my 20's, I gave serious thought to becoming a psychologist, but after spending some time studying the profession, I decided what it had to offer wouldn't fix what ailed me, or humanity. It just offered a band aid, and I wasn't willing to invest that much time, and energy in something that cost so much, and offered so little.
However, I didn't give up trying to find an answer for my lack of serenity. I started by accessing the source of my discomfort. I've known for years that my ego was the source of most, if not all, of my misery. When dealing with someone who was striking out, because of low self esteem, or because their ego had been wounded, intellectually, I knew that their negative actions toward me had nothing to do with me, but my ego would take it personally, and then I would feel insecure, and in turn strike out at the person which just made them more insecure. It's like watching bumper cars, going around banging into one anothers egos.
I would look at that, and think, how in the world am I ever going to get myself out of this conundrum? The logical solution would seem to be build one's self esteem to the point that one wouldn't be vulnerable to attacks from others, but after years of trying to do that, I knew that I could never build mine to where it wasn't vulnerable. I might have thought it was just my lack of ability, or I just didn't have access to the right building material, but fortunately for me, there were a lot of people for me to look at that had all the building material available for constructing rock solid egos. All I had to do was look at Presidents, movie stars, music stars, professional athletes, etc. that were practically worshipped by their followers, or fans, to see that their egos were just as fragile as mine. So, I came to the conclusion that trying to bolster the ego was not the solution.
So, this left a spiritual solution. I've picked up valuable gems of wisdom from a variety of sources over the years, and have cobbled together a way of living that is bringing me increasing serenity. I have the principles, but I need a lot of practice implementing them. On a daily basis, I'm finding new ways of looking at these principles, which helps me better understand how to apply them. Yesterday, I started reading a book that is encouraging me to put more effort into applying these principles, and it points out in new ways why these principle work.
I'm reading Eckhart Tolle's book, "The New Earth." He talks about the pitfalls of living with ego as the prime motivator, and what one can expect when one is willing to go beyond the ego; peace that passes all understanding. He says, "There are many accounts of people who experienced that emerging new dimension of consciousness as a result of tragic loss at some point in their lives." He goes on to say, "Whenever tragic loss occurs, you either resist or you yield. Some people become bitter or deeply resentful; others become compassionate, wise, and loving. Yielding means inner acceptance of what is. You are open to life. Resistance is an inner contraction, a hardening of the shell of the ego. You are closed. Whatever action you take in a state of inner resistance (which we could also call negativity) will create more outer resistance, and the universe will not be on your side; life will not be helpful. If the shutters are closed, the sunlight cannot come in. When you yield internally, when you surrender, a new dimension of consciousness opens up. If action is possible or necessary, your action will be in alignment with the whole, and supported by creative intelligence, the unconditioned consciousness which in a state of inner openness you become one with. Circumstances and people then become helpful, cooperative. Coincidences happen. If no action is possible, you rest in the peace and inner stillness that comes with surrender. You rest in God."

Thank-you so much for the lovely flowers! They led me to your page where the subject of your blog intrigued me. I just started reading "A New Earth" and I am also 'on the same page' with your quest for serenity and inner peace. I like this way of thinking, or not thinking....staying silent within and stopping all the incessant mind chatter that's often meaningless and most definitely the ego taking center stage. I've also read books by Stuart Wilde who writes about speaking less, especially about yourself, and listening more to who and what's around you. We are lucky to live in an age where more and more teachers are emerging to guide us toward that feeling of peace and centeredness. Have a beautiful day, Mary

Excellent blog and subject. I love thinking about these things.

I am reading the Eckhart Tolle book too. I absolutely love this philosophy.
Thank you so much for your comment on my Spark Page. It is an honor to have your compliment. I am looking forward to continue reading your blogs.

2011 MSC - Salida Mountain Stage Race
More MSC #3 photos from Mountain Moon Photography
How was the race? Please send us your race reports, blog links, thoughts, etc.
The inaugural Riverside Rampage mountain bike race is set for May 20-22 in Salida, Colo. Two days of racing with three different stages are planned for the weekend. Registration and packet pick-up will be at the Boathouse Cantina located at 228 north "F" Street in historic downtown Salida, Colo.
The weekend's events include a two-mile hill climb time trial up Tenderfoot Mountain (a.k.a. "S" Mountain) Saturday morning. Afterward we'll be racing short track on Tenderfoot Mountain. Sunday will be the cross-country race on the Arkansas Valley Hill Trails on and behind Tenderfoot Mountain.
You may enter all the events or pick and choose the events that best suit your racing style. For riders who participate in all three events there will be an overall award for those riders including a fourth set of points towards their Mountain States Cup Series overall standings.
If you are interested in pre-riding the courses, please stop by Absolute Bikes in Salida for a course map. On Saturday, May 14 the local trails group "Salida Mountain Trails" is hosting a trail improvement day specifically for the trails that we will be racing on, including a free lunch afterward down at Absolute Bikes. These trails are new within the past two years and require a lot of maintenance so if you have the time and want to give back, we'd love to see you.
On another note, the singletrack involved in this race is very technical. It is highly recommended that you ride these trails before you race. The race schedule will be posted next week.

I have dull pain in my left arm between the shoulder and elbow.
Customer Question
I have dull pain in my left arm between the shoulder and elbow. It is extremely painful (a 10 on a scale of 1-10) if I use my left hand to try to wash the right side of my body-the ribs, or under my arm. It is also painful if I try to put my left arm behind my head as in trying to throw a baseball. If I dont move it to those positions it is just a dull pain. The dull pain becomes worse in bed when trying sleep.
I can raise my arm straight up over my head and do push ups with no pain. I do not have any weakness in my hands and do not feel any tingling, just severe pain when I put my arm in the 2 positions described above. The pain is always between my elbow and shoulder.
It began about a month ago when I felt discomfort in the inside of my left wrist and a few days later it began in my upper arm. I sit at a computer about 5-6 hours/day and I am left handed so I thought it was to much movement of the mouse so I switched to using the mouse with my right hand several weeks ago but it h

I see part of my question was cut off, the rest was:
I sit at a computer about 5-6 hours/day and I am left handed so I thought it was too much movement of the mouse so I switched to using the mouse with my right hand several weeks ago but it has not helped and now I am beginning to feel a dull pain in my right arm in the same place as my left, half way between my shoulder and elbow on the outside of my arm, but I do not have any loss of movement in my right arm. Anti inflamatories have had no affect.
No tests, no past illnesses, have been very healthy, no other symptoms but stiffness in neck/upper back muscle at times, which I exercise daily by light stretching and it helps. 2 yrs ago had pinched nerve in lower back, sciatica, that lasted about 6 months was relieved by stretching exercises, inversion table and time. When I try to move my left arm as described above the pain is intense and runs from shoulder to elbow but most intense half way between.
Dr. Su S
replied 7 years ago.
Thank you for the input.
The symptoms of pain in the shoulder along with the history of neck pain and sciatica sounds like a frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis. In the early stage there may be pain with less restriction of movement. If the pain is severe, you can use antiinflammatory drug like motrin, Ice or heat therapy. You have to do exercise or physical therapy under professional guidance. Sometimes ultrasound, electric stimulation, intra articular steroid injection are needed. The other conditions which occur here are rotator cuff injury or any injury to tendon or arthritis.You need an examination by an orthopedic to determine the cause & start treatment.
Hope this information will help you.
Wish your early recovery.
Any query, please ask.
Ask Your Own Health Question

I dont know if this is relevant, but when I exercise I do shoulder rolls with no discomfort.
Can you suggest any appropriate exercises to help?
Also, when I move my arm into the positions that cause pain, should I continue to move it in that direction for exercise or would it be better to not put it in that position at all and allow it to rest?
I have my own ultrasound equipment, where would you suggest I apply it?
Dr. Su S
replied 7 years ago.
In the acute stage you can do movement but should not overstrech it. For a complete guide please read this resource.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

M.I.A. Brings the Noise to a Warehouse in Queens
Since her debut album back in 2005, M.I.A has made a career out of being the bad girl rockstar. Her creative mix of street fashion and high couture combine with her genre bending rap-pop songs to make her a trendsetter in the best sense of the word. She brought this compelling energy to the brand new Knockdown Center, located deep into Queens. The converted glass factory-turned-venue is in a wholly industrial district, nestled among autobody shops and Chinese importing warehouses. There was no alcohol available at the venue due to a permitting issue, but this did not stop the raving dance party that M.I.A. inspires.

Though schools are gradually improving, GLSEN finds that LGBT students across the country still experience high levels of harassment and discrimination.

Focus on the Family believes a school's curriculum should pretend LGBT people, including students' same-sex parents, don't exist, and it's "Orwellian" if lesson plans actually acknowledge that they do.

Soap for cramps?
He assumed it was to make the bed smell nice.
He was talking to his mom today and she said the soap relieves cramps in her toes.
Gord and I both scoffed when we talked about it on the way home.
I just Googled apparently his mom's not the only one who does this. Soap helps leg cramps.
What do you think?

Shag Factory Double Decker Twin Bullet Vibrator Love Ring
Only: £12.99
Reviewed: 20 September 2012 by MollyKS, a Bisexual Single Female
This is a powerful cock ring, with intense vibrations for both my partner and I. You can even remove the vibrators and use them directly on the clitoris.
To get into the battery compartment is a bit fiddly, especially when you're horny, so I suggest having it already set up.
Such good value for money and I would definitely recommend!
- Pros
- The strength of the vibrations.
- Cons
- It was awkward to enter the battery compartments.
- Bottom line
- Orgasmic.

Double Double Pleasure
Reviewed: 24 June 2012 by minky and spike, a Straight Engaged Male
Where to begin...
The sensations are amazing for me and more so for her, and having it on just makes me bigger and harder to the point my partner almost found it too much for her.
Add to that the fact that when I am deeply inside her the bullets are pressed up against her clit. This gives her really strong vibrations and a great climax, and me a massive orgasm and it keeps me hard to carry on if she wants more.
Best toy ever and so simple to use.
Plus the bullets come out and are great clit stimulators and small enough to be great for starting anal.
- Pros
- Turned my cock into a vibrator, and so hard.
- Cons
- Got to be careful how you take off or lose some pubic hair - ouch.
- Bottom line
- The best toy for both our pleasure we've ever used.

A great ring with real buzz
Reviewed: 06 May 2011 by YoungEssexCouple, a Bisexual Going Steady Male
I have always been sceptical about vibrating rings, and found that some I have used in the past have been nothing more than a bit of a joke, however when I received this I was very impressed.
Initially I wanted to have a fiddle, so opened it up and attempted to start one of the bullets. After reading the instructions I realised I had to partially remove the bullet from the jelly (very hard) and unscrew it to remove a small card battery connector breaker.
The ring itself actually works as a cock ring, nice and tight but not OTT, and once the vibrations have been turned on it feels amazing. With both bullets it's something quite spectacular. More so than bullets in the past, it actually turns your manhood into something that would take on a good vibrator and from the look on her face she was in agreement it was something special.
Obviously when angled correctly you can use the bullets to rub against her, which too is quite a nice sight to see.
Overall I was very impressed, and for the price you can't go wrong.
- Pros
- Great Vibrations.
- Cons
- Fiddly battery covers.
- Bottom line
- Great fun toy!

Nokia Build lets French users order custom-designed handsets online
Being a model in Nokia's Supernova line of handsets, the Nokia 7310 is already eye-catching as it is. But for some users, the design may still seem dull, and could use additional enhancements to liven up its profile.
Enter Nokia France's Nokia Build online service, which lets users pick custom and rather wildly designed Nokia 7310 Supernovas that would better suit their personality. There are pre-built template designs, as well as the option to create a completely original one from scratch, all while using the Nokia 7310 Supernova as one's canvas.
As usual for a Nokia site, Nokia Build is done completely with Flash animation. So there's no way to use third-party translators for French to English. But if you know your French, you're sure to have a blast going crazy with the design of the Nokia 7310 Supernova on it.

Week 4 might have been the masterpiece, the masterstroke, the crowning achievement of defensive streaming. We dreamed of streaming, and through our anxiety-laden trust of the numbers and matchups, we saw streaming options capture four of the top five spots.
And the angels sang, and you danced before the glow of your laptop screen.
Take a look at the chart below, and pat thyself on the back. There were fantastic streaming options screaming for your attention, and you listened.
|Week 4 fantasy points
Beyond the Titans, Colts, and Chiefs coming through for streamers last week, I think there were a couple other key takeaway for those tracking defensive trends and planning ahead.
The Browns' defense might — just might — be more than a streaming option, especially at home. They suffocated Cincinnati's offense in Week 4, applying unrelenting pressure to Andy Dalton and largely snuffing out a pretty good ground attack. Even more encouraging was Joe Haden's shutting down of all-world pass catcher A.J. Green.
Having a cornerback who can be left all by his lonesome against the league's elite pass catchers frees the other 10 guys on the defensive side of the ball to do what they were meant to do. There was almost no adjustments made to help Haden with Green last Sunday. This is great news for fantasy's No.8 overall defense.
We also learned that injuries matter. The Bengals, seen as a consensus No. 1 Week 4 fantasy defense early last week, were down three starters in their usually solid secondary against Cleveland's suddenly lively aerial attack. I bumped the Bengals' defense down to No. 7 upon hearing that news. Clearly, that wasn't nearly enough.
Part of consistent fantasy success is adjusting, remaining flexible, and making lineup changes, sometimes in the final hours before game time. We're accustomed to keeping one unblinking eye on the injury report for offensive players. It's almost as important to watch for key defensive injuries as well.
St. Louis Rams vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: The Rams' defense isn't in the realm of decent. Most of their secondary gets pushed around by wide receivers and tight ends and their front seven put inconsistent pressure on the passer. The Rams are being shredded to the tune of 133.5 rushing yards per game. They've given up 30.3 points per game.
None of that matters in Week 5, as St. Louis welcomes our streaming target de jour: Blaine Gabbert and the thing that Jaguars call their offense.
Jacksonville had allowed double digit fantasy points to every team they've played this season, thanks in large part to eight turnovers. The best thing about streaming a defense against the Jags is that you're not simply crossing your fingers and hoping to a couple picks and a fluky defensive score. Jacksonville's offense has a sever allergy to the end zone. They're averaging 5.8 points per contest.
Only the Giants have allowed more fantasy points to defenses through four weeks.
I don't have St. Louis pegged as Week 5's best upside play, however. The Ram's defense has forced five turnovers through the first month of the season. Only one NFC team — the Falcons — have forced fewer.
Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Jets: The Falcons, while far from Week 5's safest defensive streaming option, is among the choices with the most upside. Examining an offense's propensity for turnovers is how we determine this, and almost no one gives the ball away like Gang Green.
Geno Smith and company has committed 12 turnovers through four games (eight interceptions and four fumbles), and now sport the NFL's 26th ranked offense, per Pro Football Focus. The Jets' offensive line has proven more than shaky through much of September, allowing 14 sacks — the fourth most in the AFC.
Atlanta is by no means an ultra-safe Week 5 play simply because the Falcons' defense stinks. See below for an explanation.
|Run defense
|Pass rush
|Pass coverage
|Overall defense
Stats courtesy of Pro Football Focus
Atlanta is a top-12 Week 5 streaming option. Just know that you're banking on turnovers here, not solid, reliable defensive play.
Kansas City Chiefs at Tennessee Titans: I feel obliged to list the Chiefs because — inexplicably — they're still unowned in 35 percent of leagues. Please, for the love of drubbing your competition, pick up the Kansas City defense — fantasy's No. 1 defense by a good margin. The Titans' incredibly conservative offense doesn't surrender the ball very often — they're allowing 2.5 fantasy points to opposing defenses — but the Chiefs might reverse that trend with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center.
Carolina Panthers at Arizona Cardinals: The Cardinals still haven't logged 100 yards rushing in a game this season — seemingly good news for a Carolina rush defense ranked 18th by Pro Football Focus. The Cardinals, in other words, are going to have nowhere to run against a Panthers' defense allowing 93 yards per game on the ground. That'll force old man Carson Palmer to the air, which has proven effective for almost every defense Arizona has played in 2013. The Panthers are allowing just 223 passing yards per contest. Expect that underrated defensive unit to feast on an offense that has turned over the football eight times this year. I'll have Carolina in my top-10 Week 5 defenses.
Cleveland Browns vs. Buffalo Bills: The Browns won't be in my top-10 defenses for Week 5, but you could do a whole lot worse. Buffalo, despite scoring in the 20s in all four games this year, is giving up 5.9 fantasy points per game to defenses. The Bills have turned over the ball three times to Baltimore last week, and if not for a couple fortuitous bounces, it could've been more. Cleveland has forced six turnovers since Week 2.
Hey C.D., couple of trade questions…
league info: PPR for WR/TE .5 for RB, Bonus league (bonuses at yards and bonuses for long plays) 1QB 2WR 2RB 1TE K DEF 8 Bench
Roster: Romo, Pryor, Bryant, Colston, Gordon, Thompkins, Spiller, Gore, L.Miller, F-Jax, K. Hunter, Bradshaw, Fleener, H.Miller
Currently 2-2 but have the 2nd to last amount of points scored due to the players that I seem to bench always exploding for monster games….
I was just approached by a gronk owner who is looking for a RB to do a straight up trade of Spiller for Gronk…which is tempting but I was looking to do more of a Spiller/F-Jax/WR for a RB1 or WR1 type trade ….my mind says JUMP at the chance to trade my so far utterly disappointing 1st rd pick for a stud like gronk(but is he gonna be the same gronk?) also then im stuck entrusting my RB1 spot to gore(one good game hasnt sold me) and my RB2 spot to Miller which doesnt make me feel comfortable eventhough im retaining spillers handcuff in f-jax if spiller goes down i just dont know..if you were to not jump at the gronk trade who would you target if you were offering up a combo of Spiller/F-Jax/(Thompkins, Gordon, Colston)?
Appreciate the input and sorry for the long ass question
Do you like KC over all options listed above?
Would you put the Panthers DST above or below the streaming options listed above for week 5?
Would love to hear where you think Panthers D falls this week as well.

Pyro Desktop is an interesting project I was fiddling with for some time. It is a novel approach in the whole desktop v/s web tussle. Pyro uses Mozilla Firefox as a platform to build your desktop. This enables it to run web content alongside the desktop applications.
Inside it is a compositing window manager. Or as Chris Toshok explains, it is a psuedo-compositing windows manager:
Pyro is a pseudo-compositing window manager/desktop environment. I say "pseudo-" because unlike compiz/beryl/metacity/xfce/etc, it doesn't do the compositing itself. Instead, it reflects window contents into the firefox DOM as canvas elements, and firefox composites them as it does an HTML page. Simply put, pyro uses the X damage and composite extensions to turn firefox into your desktop. From there everything you can do to a dom element can be done to native window contents.
Pyro heavily uses JavaScript and can be installed as a Firefox addon. I have been running into some problems, but it has been stable enough to experience it.
It is still at infancy stage and there will be more questions to solve, but the direction in which it is growing can very well give us the closest integration of Web and desktop by bringing Web to the desktop. When I read about it, I found it similar in goals to Parakey, which was recently acquired by Facebook.
What does this mean for the common man. If Pyro goes through it will erase the line between desktop and the Web. The RIAs will be able to run as natively as the desktop applications. This can simplify and increase productivity for the user.
You can try it out if you are on Linux, participate in the discussions or follow Pyro development with developer Alex Gravely's blog.
The Mozilla Desktop Environment idea has appeared before, and I was scared of living out of the browser. However, I think Pyro takes it a level beyond that, it actually integrates the desktop and the web, by using a common window manager. What do you think?

MEDINA — Census numbers released Wednesday show Medina County's population grew by more than 21,000 residents in the last decade.
The population rose from 151,095 in the 2000 census to 172,332 in the 2010 census. There were 122,354 people in the county in the 1990 census.
The county was one of 10 in Ohio that saw a more than 10 percent population growth. Only three counties — Warren, Delaware and Union — saw more than 20 percent growth.
Medina County remained the 16th most populous county in the state, where it was ranked after the 2000 census.
Medina County Commissioner Steve Hambley said the numbers reflect the fact that county departments have been busy building infrastructure and providing more services in the last decade.
"It just shows what we've seen and what we've had to build," he said.
More people mean more households and more services, he said.
The figures from the 2010 census show Brunswick with a population of 34,255, Medina with 26,659 and Wadsworth with 21,567.
He said he expects the population to continue to grow in Medina County, especially in rural areas where there's more room for growth.
"I think overall, compared to everyone else around us, we're still very affluent. We still got a lot of location factors that make people want to live here," he said.
The numbers released Wednesday show Ohio's population is shifting away from industrial centers in the northern half of the state to suburbs around Columbus and Cincinnati.
The data show that seven out of Ohio's 10 biggest counties lost population over the past decade. Counties in rural areas of Northwest and North-Central Ohio also saw big drops.
Out of the state's five biggest cities, Columbus is the only one to see a population increase. The census shows Cleveland's population dropped by 17 percent to just under 400,000 people.

When television began to emerge as an American staple in the 1950s, music programming became a key element of the medium's success.
Commercial TV broadcasting was initiated in the U.S. in 1947, although at the outset, only the New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., markets received live television, but by 1949, virtually all parts of the nation had access.
In 1948, fewer than 2 percent of U.S. homes had a TV set, but by the end of the 1950s, nearly 90 percent of U.S. homes included television. The '50s is sometimes referred to as "the golden age of television", and live drama, comedy, variety and music regularly filled the screen.
Many of the nation's popular music vocalists were featured in their own shows in the first half of the decade -- often in 15-minute segments -- but longer shows became more prevalent in prime time as the decade progressed.
In addition to some of the shows featured in this article, "Your Hit Parade" remains a significant part of American TV and music history. With its use of weekly pop music charts, the show developed into an institution that offered "an accurate, authentic tabulation of America's taste in popular music." To read a complete Examiner.com report on the history of "Your Hit Parade", click here.
Although there were dozens of '50s television shows that featured prominent American singers, this column will take a look at 10 selected shows, featuring links to some interesting segments and complete shows.
- POLLY BERGEN SHOW (NBC, 1957-58): This comedy-variety show lasted for 18 half-hour episodes in the 9 p.m. Saturday time slot. Although primarily noted for her comedy and TV game-show panel appearances, Bergen also recorded a number of singles as a singer, including a No. 67 national hit with "Come Prima" in 1962. The show's closing theme was "The Party's Over." To view the entire March 22, 1958 show, featuring Johnny Carson as the only guest star, click here.
- ROSEMARY CLOONEY - THE LUX SHOW (NBC, 1957-58): The popular female singer-actress appeared live and in color on Thursday evenings from Sept. 1957 through June 1958. Regulars included Frank De Vol's orchestra and The Modernaires. To view the complete April 3, 1958 show, click here.
