Most hikers prefer not to hike roads, but Serpents Trail isn't just an old road, this is an historic "motor route" from the early 1900s.
In 1912, crews started working on a "motorized route" across the new monument. The "road" from Grand Junction to Glade Park took nine years to build and had more than 50 switchbacks. When it was completed in 1921, most cars didn't have fuel pumps and had to go up the road BACKWARDS so fuel would flow to the engine using gravity, according to a sign at the trailhead. The sign also explains that at the time, the road was called the "crookedest road in the world."
While most of the old road disappeared in the 1950s when the new road opened, the park kept a small stretch of the original road and opened it as a hiking trail in 1961.
The so-called Serpents Trail starts near the park's east entrance (directions below). From the parking lot, walk across the road, checking carefully for vehicles. Remember, while you may clearly see the vehicles, the drivers may be looking at the scenery and not see you. On the other side of the road, follow the trail a few steps to two signs explaining the history of the road. Then it's time to start climbing.
If you're fit, the grade of this hike is perfect. If you're not used to this elevation or haven't been hiking in awhile, that's OK, just take lots of breaks on the way up and enjoy the scenery.
As you hike, you'll see the road was likely wide enough in most spots for vehicles to pass. The old road bed is dirt and rock and very scenic as it winds up the hill, on the side of a canyon. The rock formations are fascinating and you may notice some of the more recent work along the edges of the road to shore up the sides.
It's 1.75 miles from the trailhead to the top of the Serpents Trail, where it ends at the new blacktop pavement. Even in this spot, you'll see how the road still has several switchbacks. You may also notice that the trail ends on top of a tunnel -- traffic goes right under where you're hiking. Marvel at the construction, the scenery and think about what it must have been like here 100+ years ago.
When you're ready, return the way you came. From the same trailhead, you can also take the short, easy hike to Devils Kitchen. Learn more about the Monument and get maps, directions, admission fees and more here. Other hikes in the Monument and nearby include Monument Canyon to Wedding Canyon, Otto's Trail, Flume Canyon and Devil's Canyon. Find more hikes in the area listed below or check out this list of 200+ hikes in Colorado. Don't miss any of my trip reports, sign for an email alert at the top of this page and follow me on Facebook.
Details: The hike to the top of the trail and back is about 3.5 miles with 750 feet of elevation gain.
Directions: The park's website says if you're coming Westbound on Highway I-70 towards Grand Junction, Exit 31 (Horizon Drive). Follow signs through Grand Junction to the east entrance. The visitor center and campground are 19 miles from the east entrance. (I recommend googling eastern entrance Colorado National Monument for the best directions for you.) At the east entrance, pay the entry fee, and continue on monument Road. Just a short distance from the entrance station is a parking lot on the left for Devils Kitchen.

Understanding Enmity – Knowing Your Role
Playing in a party is very different than soloing. It's not just the effect of additional players, it's the synergistic effect of having those players playing complementary, specialized roles that matters. In MMO-parlance this is the "trinity" of tanking, healing and controlling along with the contributions of damage (DPS) play.
Note – I know some people consider the trinity to be tank, heal, and DPS. That's a fairly recent evolution of the terminology. In its initial inception it was tank, heal and control (mezzing, sleeping, rooting, etc.) since technically everyone can DPS. Some classes, though, generally bring little more than DPS to the team and generally bring more DPS than anyone else. For those players new to MMO's, if you want to quickly find groups, play classes that provide something to the party other than "just" DPS. While tanking, healing and controlling take more work and are sometimes harder to solo-level, they are nearly always high priority for parties. Just think about the beta-3 weekends, how often did you see people looking for tanks and healers? How often for DPS? That's not to say that DPS are unimportant, it's just that there's a lot more people bringing the pew-pew in a typical MMO. There's a lot more to this issue, though, but that's probably the subject for an editorial.
A core component of this is enmity management. Enmity (or threat in other MMO's) is a combat variable that helps the NPC AI determine who to attack. Generally the player with the highest enmity gets all the attention of a monster. For some classes this is a good thing, for others not so much.
The Threat Meter
FFXIV:ARR provides three distinct UI elements to help parties track enmity. The first of these, and probably the least useful, is a red arrow which travels from the NPC creature to the player the moment Enmity is acquired (or changes). While this is a nice visual it is easily lost in the shuffle of large fights.
The second enmity tool at your disposal is on the party meter itself. Immediately to the left of each players name is a UI rectangle. This rectangle tracks the amount of enmity each player has on your current target. A full bar indicates this player holds enmity and should be the focus of a creature's attacks. For DPS, this is the indicator that matters as they should all be focused on the primary battle target. As a DPS if this meter for your character is filling up – back off fast!
The third enmity tool at your disposal might have slipped your attention. By default this is located near the bottom left of your screen. That's not where you will want it in parties. Personally, I keep it on the right-middle side of my screen (use options, edit HUD to place this where you want to see it). The Encounter Enmity UI tool shows the threat level of every creature in the encounter. This has a list of every creature along with a color indicator for its current threat level to your character.
In the image above, you see our party enmity meter for an encounter in the Sastasha dungeon. At the time of the screenshot, we had four creatures engaged: three Shade Seeker's and a Giant Clam. Underneath each creature's name is its health indicator, this can be useful for DPS if they are uncertain which creature to attack. To the left of the health meter is an enmity indicator.
In the image it is red, meaning I'm holding all the threat. That's good, I'm the tank! If the color was yellow, green or grey it would mean that I didn't have agro and someone else did. In this case, the color tells you how close you are to picking up threat. Yellow is very close, Green is far off, and Grey means you're not really registering threat. For healers this is a very important meter, if you are reaching yellow you really need to back off healing (if possible) or get ready to take a beating.
[Note: the graphic for this enmity indicator is slightly different as of Beta-4. The colored dash has been replaced by a series of shapes and colors. Green circles are the lowest threat level followed by yellow triangles, orange triangles and a red square. The triangles also have a different orientation (yellow faces up, the orange faces down) making it a bit easier for the color blind to follow the enmity meter.]
Managing Your Enmity
Enmity accrues from nearly every ability you use and, presumably, auto-attacks. In general, attacks accumulate enmity only on the creatures they hit. Healing, by comparison, accumulates enmity on every NPC in the encounter.
Tank characters, gladiators/paladins and marauders/warriors need to know how to acquire and hold enmity. Tank classes have combo abilities with bonus enmity and specific abilities that can force NPC's to target them for a few seconds. In general, most tank enmity abilities are only useful on creatures close to the tank. For this reason, groups should let the tank "setup" the fight before engaging.
Other classes, in general, need to avoid enmity. This means finding the most efficient operating level without pulling enmity from the tank. It is worth remembering the old dungeon adage: "dead DPS do no DPS."
Keep in mind, this isn't just a skill issue and it's not just "the tanks job." While a good tank in good gear can make enmity management seem trivial, that's not true for new tanks and undergeared ones. Gear and levels play a major role in enmity. If a DPS has been running with a tank who is slightly higher level and very well geared, that DPS has likely never pulled threat off the tank. Reverse the situation and run with a slightly lower level tank with inferior gear and it will take a good bit of effort to keep the enmity on the tank.
Target selection is a major part of enmity management. If the DPS are all focused on a single target, it's a lot easier for the tank to manage enmity. If the DPS are spread all around shooting willy-nilly, it's going to be a long, painful day for the tank and healer. I prefer using the signs (located in the menu buttons) to sequentially mark the targets I want DPS to engage, but there are lots of way to manage prioritization. The key is, have a plan and execute it!

Despite no longer being a starring housewife on "The Real Housewives of New York City," LuAnn de Lesseps is still very much part of the show as a recurring housewife, frequently in scenes with the other housewives and doing the talking head interviews. As so often happens with housewives, her relationships with some of the other women has changed this season. In an interview with All About The Tea, posted on Thursday, May 22, LuAnn revealed the woman who went from being her arch enemy to her good friend.
When asked which cast member she thinks she bonded the most with this season, LuAnn named Carole Radziwill. LuAnn said that she actually became close friends with Carole, who was her arch enemy last season. She added that she has great respect for Carole.
Upon Carole Radziwill's addition to the cast for season five, which also introduced Aviva Drescher and Heather Thomson, there was immediate speculation that she would either bond with or become enemies with LuAnn because of their royal titles. As Ramona Singer gleefully exclaimed to Carole upon learning that she's a princess, via her marriage to the late Prince Anthony Radziwill, she's a real princess while LuAnn is only a countess.
As it happened, the two didn't get along. In one episode, Carole even snapped at LuAnn for using the term "Native Indian" when referring to her heritage and joking about scalping, raping and pillaging. LuAnn countered that she's certainly not insensitive or racist and that Carole is just annoyed by her period. Thankfully for LuAnn, the two made up at the beginning of season six and seem more now willing to just accept the other person as she is.
In her interview, LuAnn also revealed which former housewife she wants back on the show. She said that she would love to see Kelly Bensimon, who starred on the show with her from seasons two through four, as a housewife again. Viewers in fact will see Kelly on "The Real Housewives of New York City" soon, albeit very briefly. In an interview with Wetpaint Entertainment in late April, Kelly revealed that LuAnn asked her to come on the show in order to walk in her fashion show and meet the other ladies.
Like LuAnn de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon also thinks that Carole Radziwill is great. Maybe in a future season of "The Real Housewives of New York City," all three will star as housewives?

Despite its key role in Alzheimer pathogenesis, the physiological function(s) of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its proteolytic fragments are still poorly understood. Previously, we generated APPsα knock-in (KI) mice expressing solely the secreted ectodomain APPsα. Here, we generated double mutants (APPsα-DM) by crossing APPsα-KI mice onto an APLP2-deficient background and show that APPsα rescues the postnatal lethality of the majority of APP/APLP2 double knockout mice. Surviving APPsα-DM mice exhibited impaired neuromuscular transmission, with reductions in quantal content, readily releasable pool, and ability to sustain vesicle release that resulted in muscular weakness. We show that these defects may be due to loss of an APP/Mint2/Munc18 complex. Moreover, APPsα-DM muscle showed fragmented post-synaptic specializations, suggesting impaired postnatal synaptic maturation and/or maintenance. Despite normal CNS morphology and unaltered basal synaptic transmission, young APPsα-DM mice already showed pronounced hippocampal dysfunction, impaired spatial learning and a deficit in LTP that could be rescued by GABA(A) receptor inhibition. Collectively, our data show that APLP2 and APP are synergistically required to mediate neuromuscular transmission, spatial learning and synaptic plasticity.

Steely Dan: Kid Charlemagne
Kid Charlemagne
Steely Dan
The Royal Scam (MCA 112051)
Donald Fagen (vocals), Larry Carlton (guitar), Chuck Rainey (bass), Bernard Purdie (drums), Paul Griffin (keyboards), Don Grolnick (keyboards), Michael McDonald (vocals),
Venetta Fields, Clydie King, Shirley Matthews (vocals).
Composed by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.
Recorded: Los Angeles, CA and New York, November, 1975-March, 1976
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Larry Carlton's fierce solo on "Kid Charlemagne" is widely viewed as one of the most important guitar recordings in history. Its status has been cemented by the tune's inclusion in the "Rock Band World Tour" video game, but, without Donald Fagen's dire reflections of 1960s San Francisco acid culture, the tune would not exist. Seemingly in reference to Ken Kesey's novel The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, the protagonist is a chemist on the lam. Unfortunately for him, his fame has exceeded expectations, and, if he is caught, prison time is assured because of the nature of the crime-mainly, manufacturing and selling drugs.
The character referenced in the song's title is someone who exists on the fringes of the then-current 70s world which had longed for the conservatism that future president Ronald Reagan embodied. His generation, according to the narrator, has no use for a person such as an LSD manufacturer whose time in the drug scene was obviously limited in the scene of alternative lifestyles by the sheer weight of his notoriety. "You are obsolete/look at all the white men on the street," he is warned, and he is later deemed an outlaw in the eyes of the law.
At the end, when the character loosely based on the enigmatic Owsley Stanley is arrested after his car runs out of gas, a police officer tells him that even he knows of his reputation amongst the prisoners in the jail ("The people down the hall know who you are") and you get the feeling that he should have taken the officer's advice to minimize the amount of illegal items that he carries on the city streets. This is a story without unexpected twists that never ends well.

Supporters of legalizing marijuana have long stood by claims of the plant's overall safety. However, new research raises questions about pot's effect on the cardiovascular system and brain.
Based on past week Journal of the American Heart Association, medical scientists in France concluded that recreational marijuana use may result in cardiovascular-related complications, and possibly even death, among young and middle-aged adults.
Both teams on a separate study, made earlier this month, scientists in this country examined the impacts of marijuana among young casual users and found different brain abnormalities directly traceable to pot.
As the debate sharpens in Albany, with respect to new research, and lawmakers fight over whether New York should become the 21st state to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo opposes to a broad medical marijuana program in spite of increasing number of legislators here – and in other states – who support such a plan. They are joined in favor of patients with cancer, epilepsy and a wide range of other devastating disorders.
As far as approval is concerned on marijuana a good medicine, however, studies are revealing a dismal side to the drug.
"We identified several remarkable cases of cardiovascular complications as the reasons for hospital admission of young marijuana users," Dr. Emilie Jouanjus, of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Toulouse in France, said in a statement last week.
Based on the study of Jouanjus and colleagues discovered, a group of 1,979 adults who had a history of marijuana use, most of them men who ranged in age from their 20s through early 50s, that nearly 2 percent had heart complications. The average age of patients was 34.
The occurrence of 20 users suffered heart attacks; 10 had the peripheral vascular disease, marked by damaged to blood vessels in the limbs. Three had damage to arteries that supply blood to the brain. Nine patients, the study said, died of cardiovascular complications.
Jouanjus said: While heart attacks and other cardiovascular complications are found frequently in large populations everywhere, these cases were unique, because the people were, for the most part, quite young.
"This unexpected finding deserved to be further analyzed, especially given that the medicinal use of marijuana has become more prevalent, and some governments are legalizing its use."
Dr. Scott Krakower, assistant unit chief of psychiatry at the Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, said research about marijuana's deleterious effects have been overshadowed by popular ideas about its beneficial profile.
"Marijuana got that profile because it has definitely been helpful for pain," Krakower said. "It has analgesic effects."
However, in addition to cardiovascular disorders, the plant has been linked to addiction, lung cancer and neuro-cognitive problems, he said,
Krakower said Jouanjus' research isn't the first to raise a concern about the plant's potential to cause vascular problems.
Marijuana users have a higher risk of stroke compared with people who do not use the drug as statement made in January, as scientists from New Zealand scientist.
Krakower thinks physiological risks related to marijuana's repeated usage.
Marijuana does have an addiction potential, said Krakower, who is on the substance abuse and addiction committee for the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
"Adolescent marijuana users are more likely to develop marijuana dependence," he said.
At the same time, a joint team of researchers from Northwestern and Harvard universities proved earlier this month that young adults that use marijuana casually develop significant abnormalities in two key brain regions important to emotion and motivation.
The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, is the first to demonstrate that recreational marijuana use is related to major brain changes. Smokers, on average, used the drug once or twice a week.
"This study raises a strong challenge to the idea that casual marijuana use isn't associated with bad consequences," said Dr. Hans Breiter, co-author of the report.
Krakower, who is on the board of directors of the Greater Long Island Psychiatric Society, said he's not surprised by the results. "We have known for some time that marijuana [use] causes changes in the brain."

Mary Beth Viveiros and Kate Lipner
Kate Lipner is a quirky out spoken French octogenarian who keeps busy by knitting and dispensing hand made scarf and beret ensembles to family and friends. She also just happens to be immortalized as part of the living history exhibit in the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie, Illinois for saving 3 Jewish children when she was a young woman in France.
Kate was alone at 17 living in an apartment in Nice. Her father had been taken as a prisoner of war and was in a forced labor camp. Her mother died and left her with a legacy. Before her passing she worked for a rich Jewish doctor's family in their villa. They had come from Belgium. The father was taken on a street in Poland and ultimately died in the Holocaust. The mother fled to Spain and couldn't take the children, 9 ½ year old Maurice and 5 year old Helene.
There were also neighbors on a farm next to the villa. The mother died from an illness leaving 2 year old Robert. So Kate's mother took them in and hid them. And when she passed Kate hid them too from 1942 to 1944 in their small apartment in Nice. Frequently to avoid discovery they were hidden in an armoire in the bedroom.
"I was in the resistance and the underground. I dealt in the black market. I hid other children too. I can't remember all of their names. I took them to Switzerland."
The three children survived the holocaust. Kate has been in touch with them throughout the years. Robert enjoyed some fame as a stage actor. Helene is the only one still alive, a wife and mother of 5 and grandmother of 15.
At the end of the war Kate was able to see her father once more. He survived the labor camp to see his daughter marry an American soldier. Kate was a war bride. His fatherly advice; go and never look back. And that's exactly what she did.
For more info: To hear more about Kate's story visit the Illinois Holocaust Museum.

On the heels of Barack Obama dismissively claiming on Feb. 2, 2014 in an interview with Bill O'Reilly of Fox News that there was "not even a smidgen of corruption" in the probe of the IRS against members of the Tea Party as well as other conservative groups, The Daily Caller is reporting on Feb. 5, 2014 that an incriminating e-mail has surfaced that very well could prove that he, at a minimum, spoke out of turn regarding the ongoing investigation.
When queried by O'Reilly last Super Bowl Sunday if there was an large scale corruption at the Internal Revenue Service, Obama gave what many consider a bit of a smirk and a derisive response of "not even mass corruption -- not even a smidgen of corruption."
That was then, this is now ...
With many on both left and right questioning the wisdom of Obama's claim while the investigation is still ongoing, a bit of a bombshell was dropped at a House Committee on Ways and Means hearing yesterday.
The committee released information that they have in their possession an e-mail (click here) from Department of the Treasury official Ruth Madrigal to a number of other Treasury Department officials, to include the now retired IRS Director of the IRS Exempt Organizations division Lois Lerner.
As cited by The Daily Caller, the Treasury Department along with the now honorably retired with all pay and benefits Lois Lerner began "devising the new rules 'off-plan,' meaning that their plans would not be published on the public schedule."
As the e-mail clearly stated, Madrigal, Lerner and a number of other Obama Administration officials "planned the new rules in 2012, while the IRS targeting of conservative groups was in full swing."
The Obama Administration had earlier suggested that it was not until after the scandal broke was there any move to "clarify regulations."
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) questioned witnesses concerning Lerner previously invoking her rights under the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination when asked of IRS corruption, and also of Obama pre-judging the status of the investigation.
Gowdy eventually called on Congress to convene a special counsel in light of the new evidence coming to light for the American people.

Where's the Booming Apps Market Going? The History of the Auto Industry Holds Clues
By Josh Wolonick Mar 06, 2013 11:24 am
The still-developing market for apps will reach $25 billion this year. So what's next?
Earlier this week, I was reading this story in the Wall Street Journal, which is about the growth of the apps industry, when I came across an analogy that both puzzled and intrigued me: Simon Khalaf, the CEO the mobile analytics company Flurry Inc., was comparing the apps industry now to the car industry at the turn of the last century. He said, "You see the growth of roads and know they're going to be big. But it is still early days."
To find out more about what Khalaf was getting at, I spoke with Christian Poppelreiter, an Account Specialist at Flurry. He said:
Too Many App Makers?
By 1900, there were at least 100 different brands of early automobiles being manufactured and marketed in the US. Since this was before Henry Ford's production line, the majority of these were handmade and expensive to make and to buy.
As Scott Lorenz, the President of Westwind iPhone App Publicity, told me:
To find out more about what Khalaf was getting at, I spoke with Christian Poppelreiter, an Account Specialist at Flurry. He said:
Obviously the app market has shown an incredible adoption rate as apps have become a part of our society and as the market continues to grow. As of now, Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Play and Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store both have more than 700,000 apps available for download. Adding in the offerings from smaller app competitors Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), the app industry is huge and chaotic, and it brings in a lot of cash: Global revenue from apps is expected to rise a full 62% to $25 billion this year, according to Gartner, Inc. Companies obviously consider the costs of development and initial release, but often fail to allow for how expensive maintenance can be; fixing bugs, tweaking the app to meet consumer preference, and keeping it competitive in design and function with the ever increasing number of competitors all comes with costs. (Read more here on how an app's maintenance is critical to its success.) Here is where we can to continue the comparison with the car industry at the turn of the 20th century.
Simon was making a comparison between mobile applications and cars -- the main similarity, of course, is the rate of adoption of both apps and cars at their respective points in history and the consequent opportunity for entrepreneurs to capitalize on this adoption. The "roads" that he mentions are smartphones and tablets, on which the "cars" (apps) can run. Simon would also point out the adoption of mobile devices and the use of apps has taken place much more quickly than any other form of consumer technology including cars, electricity, PCs, and even the Internet.
Too Many App Makers?
By 1900, there were at least 100 different brands of early automobiles being manufactured and marketed in the US. Since this was before Henry Ford's production line, the majority of these were handmade and expensive to make and to buy.
As Scott Lorenz, the President of Westwind iPhone App Publicity, told me:
The market for apps is supersaturated. For every behemoth like the billion-dollar Instagram, there are hundreds of thousands of creative, well-designed apps that will never make it. As Shauri Levy of Software Progressions told me, "The current app environment is not sustainable, especially with mobile devices. It requires too much money and time to create apps that run on Web, all mobile devices, and operating systems." Simply put, the app market will have to adapt to these issues just as the auto industry did in its salad years. The adaptation is already happening.Back in the early car days, you had thousands of tinkerers, mechanics, and investors all working to build automobiles, just as you have app developers today trying to create the next big app to make a fortune. Most of those early auto pioneers failed and sadly, most of the app developers today will fail, too. Today upwards of 300 apps a day are created, many of which are extremely creative and well done. But the oversupply of new apps means they simply cannot all succeed. Furthermore, just as was the case in the early car days, the guy with the money gobbled up other car makers in a roll-up won the game. The question is, Who is the General Motors of the app development game today? Or did Apple just get millions of apps with no development cost in the ultimate modern day version of Tom Sawyer getting others to paint the fence?

Broward judge to review BSO deputies' reality TV contracts
Contracts for four Broward Sheriff's Office deputies who appear on the "Police Women of Broward County" reality TV show were turned over to a Broward County judge Monday for his review.
The side deals with the deputies are being sought by the Broward public defender and the state attorney.
At issue is whether the women are being paid to "manufacture arrests" that may appear on the TV show, and whether show business is influencing them while they're enforcing the law, Assistant Public Defender Gordon Weekes Jr. says.
There are seven cases in which he says the contracts are an issue.
"We're inching closer," Weekes said after Discovery Communications gave the contracts to Broward Circuit Judge David Haimes.
Discovery owns TLC, the network that has aired two seasons of "Police Women of Broward County."
Weekes still wants his colleagues to also be able to review the deputies' deals.
Assistant state attorney Jeff Marcus had subpoenaed the deputies' contracts, and on Monday, the company complied. The state is legally required to provide all evidence in the possession of law enforcement that is favorable to the defense.
Discovery Communications had previously tried to keep the deals confidential, citing trade secrets in a highly competitive industry.
The corporation has said in court documents that the women are not paid for the type or quantity of arrests they make on the show.
The Sheriff's Office has said their employees are paid by the reality TV show for their off-duty time, though the deputies appear in episodes while in uniform and on the job, using county equipment and vehicles.
Dana McElroy, one of Discovery's lawyers, argued before the judge that confidential terms of the contract do not shed any light on any possible motives that are suggested by the public defender. She also argued that it was not relevant how much the deputies were being paid.
"So in other words if there is an expert witness, you can ask, 'Well, aren't you getting paid?' but you can't ask them how much?" Haimes said to McElroy. "I don't think that's ever the case."
Haimes asked the lawyers to return Sept. 8 to continue their arguments. At that time, he is also scheduled to review Weeke's request that the court find one of the deputies, Detective Andrea Penoyer, in contempt for not answering questions about the reality TV show during a deposition.

Ireland did the rounds this week, trying to get people to have faith in him while trying to remain secretive.
Count me among those who thought he came off as the villain. He didn't sound like he was saying anything more than "I *AM* the Dolphins - trust me!" It was kind of ridiculous. He was cagey and dodged everything because he didn't want to tip his hand.
But I am firmly in the camp that he will be drafting a lineman (probably offensive, but could be defensive) at #8.
So one thing that struck me as odd was his answer to the question "Do you talk to Bill Parcells often?" He said he didn't, because they were both busy, but they talk now and then.
Why is that odd? Because Parcells hand-picked Ireland. Because Parcells always has time to chat. He talks to Peyton Manning almost every day. He talks to Rex Ryan regularly. He talks to Sean Payton regularly. He was doing that while he was here - but he doesn't have time to talk to the guy *he* picked to run this organization.
What does that say about Ireland? Parcells is not a fan? Ireland is lying?
Its a simple comment, but so vexing and confusing. Its not that hard to imagine that they talk sometimes.

About Tim
Tim Kaine has served people throughout his adult life as a missionary, fair housing attorney, teacher and elected official. He is running for the United States Senate because America needs optimistic doers who know how to find common ground.
Tim grew up in Kansas City, working in his father's ironworking shop, where he learned the values of thrift and hard work. He graduated from the University of Missouri and Harvard Law School.
Tim began his public service career when he took a year off law school to work with Jesuit missionaries in Honduras. He served as principal of a technical school that taught teenagers carpentry and welding. There, Tim committed his life to serving others and grasped the power of education to enable each person to live up to their God-given potential.
After finishing law school, Tim practiced law for 18 years, specializing in representing people who had been denied housing due to their race or disability. He also began teaching at the University of Richmond, an association that continues to this day.
Tim entered political life in 1994, running for the Richmond City Council in order to bridge divisions in city leadership. He served until 2001 as a Councilman and Mayor. During his service, Tim helped implement targeted tax cuts for small businesses and homeowners, built the city's first new schools in a generation and dramatically cut the city's crime rate. Richmond saw an economic renaissance that led to increasing population, a bond rating upgrade and recognition by Forbes Magazine as one of America's ten best cities for doing business.
In 2001, Tim was elected Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. He worked for four years with then-Governor Mark Warner to reform Virginia's budget and improve Virginia's education system. During this time, he was co-chair of the 2002 statewide campaign to expand higher education facilities and helped create the New College Institute in Martinsville, greatly expanding opportunities in historically underserved Southside, Virginia.
In 2005, Tim was elected Virginia's 70th Governor. In the midst of America's deepest recession in 70 years, Tim led the state to national recognition. Virginia was honored as the best managed state in America (Governing Magazine), the Best State for Business (Forbes.com -- four years in a row) and the best state to raise a child (Education Week). Virginia maintained its Triple A bond rating for fiscal management -- an honor shared by only 7 states -- and had one of the nation's lowest unemployment rates and highest median incomes.
During his tenure as Governor, Tim demonstrated true fiscal stewardship by cutting the state budget by more than 5 billion dollars, including a reduction in his own salary. But Tim also expanded early childhood and technical education, passed the largest bond package for higher education construction in Virginia history, reformed the state's mental health and foster care programs, reduced the infant mortality rate, protected open space and the Chesapeake Bay, banned smoking in bars and restaurants, and pushed major rail and public transit improvements throughout the state. Tim also brokered the deal to eliminate Virginia's estate tax and cut income taxes for tens of thousands of low-income residents.
Tim was the Chairman of the Southern Governor's Association in 2008-09 and served as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2009 through 2011. He has received numerous awards and honorary degrees from organizations such as the Richmond Bar Association, Virginia Military Institute, the National Fair Housing Alliance, the Virginia Holocaust Museum and the Virginia Council of Churches.
Tim has been married for 27 years to Anne Holton. Anne -- the daughter of former Republican Governor Linwood Holton -- served as a legal aid lawyer and juvenile court judge before becoming First Lady of Virginia. After working with Tim to reform Virginia's foster care system, she now helps other states as a child welfare consultant with the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The Kaines have three children -- Nat, Woody and Annella -- all of whom attended Richmond Public Schools. The family is active in their church and spends all the time they can camping, hiking, canoeing and biking in Virginia's outdoors.

TC TO G. L. CRAIK ; 28 October 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18441028-TC-GLC-01; CL 18: 252-253
Chelsea, 28 Octr, 1844—
Dear Craik,— Can you do anything for me in regard to this? I want to know, on unimpeachable evidence if such might be, At what date the Gilderoy of our beautiful Scotch Song (or beautiful Tune rather, for the Song that I have seen is worth little) was hanged; and where, and as far as convenient why; but especially when. I know the passages in Spalding, but they do not mention him, only certain "limmars [rogues]," associates of his.1
Here is David Laing's Letter; which pray return at any rate. I have a Clerk now,2 in the Museum, who can turn up any Book for me, and question it on a plain matter. What Percy3 has to say you probably can already tell me.
Yours always /
T. Carlyle

The axe (or ax) is an item in the castle levels of the original Super Mario Bros. Mario or Luigi can defeat Bowser or his duplicates by touching the axe, which cuts the support of the bridge Bowser is standing on and sends him falling into the lava below. When Mario and Luigi do not have the Fire Flower, using the axe is the only way they can defeat Bowser.
Due to Super Mario Bros., the axe (which plays a major role in its boss battles) has managed to earn Bowser-related appearances to this day. For instance, in Bowser's court in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, the basketball hoop's pole is a giant axe. It also appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where it cameos alongside a paper duplicate of Bowser in a Super Mario Bros.-reminiscent section of Bowser's Castle. In New Super Mario Bros., the axe is replaced by a Skull Switch in that game's Bowser battles (same with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but with a ! Switch). The axe has a true return after 27 years of absence in New Super Mario Bros. U, where, similar to Super Mario Bros, it destroys Bowser's bridge and sends Bowser into lava. However, the player doesn't actually utilize the axe. Rather, the player has to use a ! Switch to activate it.
The axe also appears in Super Mario Maker, as the goal for Castle-style courses. Its appearance is different depending on the game style, but it has the same function as usual; touching it destroys the bridge under it and ends the level.

Take one glance at most celebrities (like Karolina Kurkova, Seal, or Joaquin Phoenix, all pictured) and you'd think from their lean and toned frames, perfectly clear skin, and shiny, flowy hair, that they were practically born perfect.
However, recent star admissions suggest otherwise. Read on to find out which famously sexy leading man was born with extra fingers, which country music sweetheart had a third nipple, and other celebrities' seriously weird body quirks.
As a child, Taye Diggs had polydactyly, which means you have more than five fingers or toes on a hand or foot. "As a child I had an extra digit on each hand," he said on the CBS show The Talk, showing off the scars from his surgery to remove the extra fingers.
Polydactyly occurs in one out of every 500 to 1,000 newborns and is thought to be passed down in families.
In most cases, like Diggs's, the extra digits are removed surgically. Otherwise, the Private Practice star joked, "I could've been really handy."
The Two and a Half Men star has syndactyly, or webbing of the toes. "I have slightly webbed toes," he said on BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross via Daily Mail. "When everything else is this good-looking, something has to give!"
Syndactyly, which usually occurs in between the second and third toes, is one of the most common congenital hand or foot defects. About one out of every 2,500 babies is born with syndactyly, which may require surgery to separate the fingers or toes.
Nikki Nelson/WENN.com
During her American Idol audition in 2004, Carrie Underwood confessed that she'd had a third nipple removed, and that it was nothing to be grossed out by. "It just looked like a mole," she told the judges.
Also known as polythelia, having a supernumerary (extra) nipple is fairly common. Other celebrities who were born with one include singer Lily Allen and actor Mark Wahlberg.
Actor Andy Garcia was born with an undeveloped conjoined twin attached to his shoulder, according to IMDB.com. The very rare condition known as heteropagus twinning occurs when a well-formed twin (called the autosite) has an incomplete twin (called the parasite) attached.
Garcia's conjoined twin (roughly the size of a softball) was surgically removed shortly after birth.
Seal's famed facial scars are the result of discoid lupus, an autoimmune disease that mostly affects the head and neck. It typically occurs in people 20 to 40 years old. About half of those with discoid lupus have a telltale butterfly rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose like Seal does.
Joaquin Phoenix's unique lips aren't as mysterious as some might think. Their unusual shape is due to a cleft lip, which occurs when the two sides of a baby's upper lip do not fuse properly during the fifth or sixth week of pregnancy. The condition is very common and occurs in about one or two of every 1,000 babies born in the United States each year, according to KidsHealth.org.
Other stars with a cleft lip or cleft palate include Peyton Manning and Jesse Jackson.
Patrick Hoffman/WENN.com
Model Karolina Kurkova may be known for her sexy curves, but she caused quite a stir when she walked the runway in 2008 during a Victoria's Secret fashion show in Miami exposing a belly button-less midriff. Although magazines touch up her stomach to show a belly button, the lack of one in real life is probably the result of an umbilical hernia, which occurs when part of the intestine pokes through the abdominal muscles and can alter the appearance of a bellybutton.
Umbilical hernias are most common in infants and, while most usually close by age 1, they can be repaired with surgery to prevent further, albeit rare, complications like tissue damage or infection.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
In the United Kingdom the Fire Service was subject to the Fire Services Act 1947 and in 2004 it was replaced in England and Wales by the The Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 – Chapter 21. However fire safety was covered by about seventy pieces if fire safety legislation the principal ones being the Fire Precautions Act 1961 and the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997/1999. It was decided the legislation needed to be to rationalise and simplified in England and Wales. This was achieved by using the Regulatory Reform Act 2001 to create a new order and this new order is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
In Scotland this was rejected and separate fire service and fire safety legislation was introduced. It was achieve by introducing the The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005which created The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 plus a number of other relevant fire safety documents, more information is available at the Scottish Fire Law website.
In Northern Ireland it is similar to Scotland and the Fire And Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 was introduced which created the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 more information can be found at Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
This submission is an overview of the legislation and is described in very general terms consequently it should be read on conjunction with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the RRO guidance if a full understanding of the order is required. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order hereafter will be referred to as the Order in this document.The Order should have come into force on the 1st April 2006 but is delayed until the 1st October 2006.
The order is designed to provide a minimum fire safety standard in all non domestic premises including parts of premises used for the purposes of an employer's undertaking, which is made available to employees as a place of work, and used in connection with the carrying of a trade, business or other undertaking, for profit or not, with a few exceptions. If it is a workplace it designates the employer, if he/she has to some extent control, the Responsible Person.(RP) If any other person has to some extent control then they could have duties under the order. If it is not a workplace then any person having control to some extent or the owner and can be designated the Responsible Person. Those persons or a person acting on their behalf, are required to carry out certain fire safety duties which include ensuring the general fire precautions are satisfactory and conducting a fire risk assessment. If more than five persons are employed it has to be a written assessment.
Previous general fire safety legislation
This Order replaced previous fire safety legislation and any fire certificate issued under the Fire Precautions Act 1971 will cease to have any effect. If a fire certificate had been issued in respect of your premises or the premises were built to recent building regulations, as long as you have made no material alterations and all the physical fire precautions have been properly maintained, then it is unlikely you will need to make any significant improvements to your existing physical fire protection arrangements to comply with the Order.
However, you must still carry out a fire risk assessment and keep it up to date to ensure that all the fire precautions in your premises remain current and adequate. If you have previously carried out a fire risk assessment under the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997/1999 and this assessment has been regularly reviewed then all you will need to do now is revise that assessment taking account of the wider scope of the Order.
Your premises may also be subject to the provisions of a licence or registration (e.g. under the Licensing Act 2003 in that case the fire authority may wish to review your risk assessment as part of the licensing approval process. Fire safety conditions within your licence should not be set by a licensing authority where the Order applies.
Guidance on new fire legislation
The new, risk-assessment based regime requires employers to to take action to prevent fires and protect against death and injury, employees and relevant persons, should a fire occur. This was the same duty imposed on employers by the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1999, but under the new Order the duty will be extended beyond workplaces to include all non domestic premises to which employees or/and relevant persons have access.
To support the Order, the The Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLC) have published a number of guidance documents to assist you in meeting your responsibilities. They will give advice on most types of premises where the duty to undertake a fire safety risk assessment under the Order applies.The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – A short guide to making your premises safe from fire will give an overview and the following eleven guides will address the following categories of premises

|Means of Escape for Disabled People (Supplementary Guide)
|This is a supplementary guide and should be read alongside other guides in the Fire Safety Risk Assessment series.
It provides additional information on accessibility and means of escape for disabled people.
The guides, have been drafted by DCLC in co-operation with a group of key stakeholders. These guides will be used a template so that there is a consistent approach across the whole suite. Around forty stakeholders representing enforcers, industry and users, and representing all occupancy types, have been consulted. Each guide is in two parts, the first part will explain how to undertake a fire safety risk assessment the second part of each guide will provide further guidance on the fire precautions. The guides are being written so as to be readily understood by those who have to comply with the requirements of the Order, not just fire safety experts.

Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape
by John Ashbery
Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape Theme of Transformation
So things all started to go wrong when Popeye's father, who looks exactly like him except more wrinkly, got jealous of his son's supply of spinach and his girlfriend and decided to force Popeye to leave the country. Now, in "Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape," Popeye sits somewhere in the countryside and hurls green thunder that blocks the sun and creates perfect darkness. But, don't worry, it's not mad thunder; it's "loving thunder," and Popeye is very happy in the end. It's a transformation all right...we're just not sure how else in the world to describe it.
Questions About Transformation
- Does the poem describe one big transformation or several smaller transformations?
- How would you describe the major transformation in the poem in one sentence? Is it possible?
- Why isn't Popeye more upset about being forced to leave the country? Is the thunder an expression of anger or something else?
- Why does the thunder take over the apartment at the end of the poem?
Chew on This
Popeye's exile from the country is the cause of transformation in the poem.

This question already has an answer here:
I would like to use a Mathematica notebook as a printable document with conditional output. If the condition is true, some parts of the notebook should be printed; otherwise they should not be printed. The condition that controls printing might be set in a cell at the start of the notebook, but this cell should not be visible in the printed document.
How could I do this? I have looked into cells, input and output in the Documentation Center, but could not find what I needed.
