Summer Magic Casts a Spell for Families at Joslin
Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Children and their families came out to Joslin earlier this month for the Pediatric Clinic's fifth annual Summer Magic event. The children participated in crafts, played limbo and bean-bag toss, enjoyed a picnic dinner and saw a magic show.
"The Summer Magic Event is a nice way for families to get together and meet other families affected by diabetes," said Elizabeth Heim, child life specialist and co-organizer of the event along with Micaela Francis, also a child life specialist.
The magic show, held in the third-floor auditorium, was a mix of fun jokes, clever tricks and lots of audience involvement. More than 60 pediatric patients and family members came, and even some of Joslin's own employees caught the show.
"Many of the families that attended said it was a great event and that the magician was the best they have seen yet," Francis said.
Pediatrics holds many events for the patients and families of Joslin throughout the year. Those include Teddy Bear Clinic, Summer Magic, Fenway Tours for Pre-Teen and Teens, and the Halloween Party.

According to a Feb. 13 report from MMA Fighting, UFC President Dana White says Patrick Cummins told him that he used to make Daniel Cormier cry during past MMA training sessions they had together.
Cummins, who trains at Reign Training Center, might be seen by the casual fan as nothing more than a punching bag the UFC hired as a late-replacement for the injured Rashad Evans to feed to Cormier at UFC 170, but the UFC head honcho thinks he has a fighting chance to notch the victory.
"I heard about this kid Patrick Cummins before," UFC President Dana White told MMAFighting.com. "The thing that's interesting about this kid is that he was the training partner of Daniel Cormier and claims that he made Cormier cry when they would train together. Not only did he say that, he said he broke him every time, and he said he would break him again next Saturday."
Cummins (4-0) is relatively unknown to the average fan, but hardcore MMA supporters know him as a highly-touted light heavyweight contender and former two-time All-American at Penn State University.
Cormier laughed off Cummins' smack-talking, but he did say he appreciates that he stepped up to accept the fight.
"There's a lot of pressure that comes with trying to win a gold medal," Cormier told MMAFighting.com, "something that Pat wouldn't understand since he was only a training partner to me and Kerry McCoy. He wasn't the guy. I appreciate him stepping up and taking the fight, but we're going to see who's going to be crying after we fight next Saturday night."
Cormier was originally slated to fight Rashad Evans in the UFC 170 co-main, but "Suga" went down with a knee injury.
Cummins stepped in as a late-replacement, after the UFC opted against slotting in Chael Sonnen or Anthony Johnson for the Feb. 22 event.

We kicked off the day by honoring our Gold Award girls. A detailed report about their projects will be posted to gsnim.org soon! Check back often.
After our breakfast was consumed and the girls accomplishments were recognized, we moved over to the Gathering Center for the main portion of the meeting. Tom Henry, Mayor of Fort Wayne, is a huge supporter of Girl Scouts, and was happy to give the opening speech. To spice things up this year we asked girls to help us out. Noelle and Audrey from Community 218 did a wonderful job helping us out with the Adult Recognitions portion of the meeting. Congrats to everyone who received an award this year. We greatly appreciate everything you do for Girl Scouting!

Florida Marlins: What should they do at the trade deadline?
R.J. Anderson at Fangraphs tackled that question Monday. In his overview of where the Marlins stand, Anderson points out how several players will either be free agents (Jorge Cantu, Wes Helms, Nate Robertson) or entering their final year of arbitration eligibility (Ricky Nolasco, Dan Uggla, Cody Ross) after 2010. Based on the team's performance so far compared to the Phillies and Braves, Anderson recommends selling.
The trade deadline isn't necessarily the best time to move players. A non-contending team that might not have any interest adding guys in 2010 could be engaged at the Winter Meetings. If the Marlins do move any of the aforementioned players before the July 31 deadline, I don't think it would be a strictly-for-prospects deal. Something like that 2004 trade with the Dodgers that brought Paul Lo Duca and Guillermo Mota for Juan Encarnacion, Brad Penny and Hee Seop Choi makes more sense.
As far as adding players, this team has not played well enough yet to justify a Nick Johnson- or even Arthur Rhodes-type move. One or even two acquisitions isn't going to turn around the Marlins' season. The onus is on the guys in the clubhouse right now to perform better and more consistently before the front office entertains moving prospects and/or adding payroll.

Poverty is a complex problem. It has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and is described in many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape. Thus, poverty is a call to action - for the poor and the wealthy alike - a call to change the world so that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their communities. To reduce poverty and identify the best mechanisms to monitor the change, we need to define and be able to measure it. As poverty is a complex problem, at least several indicators need to be considered that affect human development.
The major achievement for Uzbekistan in addressing the issues of human development is Government's official recognition that poverty is widespread in the country. A number of actions have been undertaken by Government with close collaboration of development donors to analyze the poverty situation and implement pro-poor policies. In 2004 Uzbekistan formulated its first ever strategy to improve living standards (i-WISP). The UN and the ADB have joined hands and used the nationalized MDGs and targets to provide an overall framework and vision for the Living Standards Strategy.
The main data on poverty in Uzbekistan derives from the 2001 Household Budget Survey. Based on the 2,100 calories poverty line, 27.5% of Uzbekistan 's population (6.8 million people) can be classified as poor in 2001. The Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy aims to reduce the poverty rate to 20% by 2010. The Government also estimates that by 2015 the percentage of poor population can be reduced to 14%.
As in many developing states, the most vulnerable groups in terms of poverty are rural inhabitants, families with many children, the disabled, the unemployed, people with lower level of education and households with women breadwinners.
Even though income level is a major determinant of poverty, it is not the only one. Being poor in today's Uzbekistan is connected with a low level of living standards, directly related to the quality of access to health care, education services, basic public utilities, such as clean water and adequate sanitation. The reduction of poverty, therefore, is a complex task which is closely related to the achievement of all other MDGs.
Main poverty factors identified in the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy are:
Tracking poverty by demographic indicators helps us define better who the poor are and where they live. As is shown in the table, Uzbekistan 's poor households are concentrated in rural and remote areas. About 70% of the whole population lives in rural areas and 30.5% of the poor are there, as compared to 22.5% in urban areas. The highest concentration of poor households is noted in the southern and northern regions of the republic, and the lowest is in Tashkent region and certain oblasts of the central region. In the southern region, the poverty rate is almost 4 times higher than in Tashkent region.
A common characteristic of poor families is that the head of household is unemployed and there are many children. However, even employment does not always guarantee protection from poverty, as 50% of the poor families have an employed household head. However, being unemployed sharply increases the potential for poverty.
Level of education is another good determinant of poverty risk – the higher the education, the lower the poverty possibility. Among households headed by persons with secondary special vocational education, the probability of becoming poor is 50% that of households where heads of the family do not have such education. The most vulnerable are the families where the heads do not have any secondary education.
In 2003, women accounted for 56% of the registered unemployed (61% in 2002) . Pregnant women, those with many children or with disabilities are at a serious disadvantage.
One of the most dangerous poverty manifestations is malnutrition among children. It represents a threat to health, as well as restricting opportunities to normal growth and development.
Survey results from 1996 suggested that 31% of children under three year of age were malnourished, whereas survey results from 2002 put the estimate at 23%. Moreover, currently 20% of children under-five years are estimated to be malnourished. Malnutrition incidence tends to be higher in rural areas. Karakalpakstan is the most vulnerable to the incidences of anemia and tuberculosis and malnutrition is soaring in Namangan and Surkhandarya viloyats.
61% of children under 3 are reported to suffer from iron deficiency anemia, at a time of rapid periods of growth. Uzbekistan has the highest anemia rates among children and women in reproductive age in the region. Anemia is found in 60% of women in 15-49 age group nationwide, and as a result children whose mothers are anemic are twice as likely to be anemic. Hence, these serious problems are being resolved but still remain significant.
Maternal knowledge and awareness are among important factors that affects child nutrition and disease. Poor trends are closely correlated with low education of mothers. In addition, inadequate dietary intake is closely related to incomes and access to health care services, especially in rural areas.
A number of government social programs for the eradication of anemia, vitamin A and iron deficiency have been developed to protect the nutritional status of children and the population to reduce the impact of an unbalanced and insufficient diet among the poor.
Government's Welfare Improvement Strategy (2005-2010) identifies main economic and social causes of poverty as follows:
The Government is in the process of implementing the strategies that address the above issues in view of achieving tangible improvements in improving living standards in Uzbekistan by 2010. Based on the evidence, rural development deserves the greatest attention from Government and development donors.

Easter is a time of rebirth and new life. The coming of spring brings to mind warm weather and the births of baby animals like chicks and lambs. Easter is also the time of the Ester Bunny, egg coloring and family dinners. Of all the holidays it is regarded as being the cutest, largely because of the mass marketing of Easter icons that have created an entire line of kitschy Easter-related merchandise that can be found in practically any store.
Although images of the Easter Bunny and decorated eggs are most iconic of the Easter holiday, practically every bit of Easter merchandise contains pastel color hues. Whereas black and orange rule Halloween and red and green are synonymous with Christmas, Easter boasts a rainbow of pastel shades to its credit which makes it one of the most colorful holidays on the Christian calendar.
Easter is associated with new life which is synonymous with babies. Pastel colors are gentle and comforting and that color scheme association is partly why Easter is regarded as being such a kind and gentle holiday.
Below are some facts about the five pastel colors that are most associated with Easter.
Pastel Pink
Pastel pink is a very light shade of pink that is sometimes called "baby pink." It is made by mixing a little bit of regular pink with a lot of white. It is often associated with baby girls. Flowers, pigs and bubblegum are also noted for their light pink coloration.
Pastel Yellow
Pastel yellow is sometimes called "mellow yellow." It is created by mixing a little bit of classic yellow with a lot of white. Certain kinds of flowers and butter are noted for their natural pastel yellow coloring.
Pastel Green
Pastel green is sometimes called mint green. It is created by mixing a little bit of classic green with a lot of white. Pastel green is a somewhat unusual color that is not as frequently seen as the other pastels. Mint ice cream is noted for its pastel green coloration and in recent years the color has been seen in many products from the fashion industry, especially clothes.
Pastel Blue
Pastel blue is sometimes called "baby blue" because of its strong association with baby boys. Pastel blue is created by mixing classic blue with a lot of white. Bluebells, the sky and certain kinds of birds and butterflies are known for their natural pastel blue coloration.
Pastel Purple
Pastel purple is a very light shade of purple that is created by mixing classic purple with a lot of white. Pastel purple is sometimes called "lavender" since the color is associated with the plant lavender and lilac. Certain kinds of flowers and underwater sea urchins are known for their natural light purple coloration.

The Department of Transportation is going about appraising and acquiring land along Highway 117 in preparation for widening the road next summer. Above: looking north a couple of miles south of Nashua.
Residents from Nashua to Fort Peck might have received a knock in the door recently. This is because workers from the state Department of Transportation are preparing for a project that's been in planning for nearly a decade – in their front yard.
Shane Mintz, administrator of the Glendive District of DOT, explained that the project is in the acquisition and appraisal stage. They are buying land from owners along the Highway 117 to help widen and straighten out the road next summer. The construction is part of a federal aid project expected to cost around $15 million.

new galactic conquest features
at E3, petroglyph showed that when you play as Zann, you can enter in the middle of a battle the empire and rebels are already fighting. What if you are the rebels and you decide to fight the empire (or vice versa)? Is there a possibility that the Zann AI could come in and fight against both of you too?
The game is coming out next month so you might as well wait and see for yourself.
I remember reading in a post by one of the devs that tactical battles, both ground and space, while playing Galactic Conquest will be two-way only.
Hmmm I wonder how that will work in multiplayer then!
Probably the same way. Just so that I know I'm being clear: while three players can play GC at once, only two can engage each other in battle at any one time. For example, if the Empire is holding one planet and both the Rebels and Zann Consortium send fleets to attack it, the first fleet to arrive fights the Empire, while the second fleet meets the winner. That's how I interpreted it, anyway.
I'm pretty sure you can only ever have two players in Galactic Conquest games.
Really? I thought I saw one of the devs say in an interview some time ago that you could have all three. I could be mistaken, of course, but I hope not.
the devs have been saying lately you can do 3. They also said a lot of other combinations but I can't rember at the moment. but i think yes, 1 v 1 v 1 = possible =]
only 3 players on skirmage.
Skirmish Mode (space or land, multiplayer or solo play) = 3 players/teams.
Galactic Conquest (multiplayer) = 2 players.
Yes, single player GC is what I want to know as well. Surely you can't just leave one faction out of it?
It wouldn't give the galactic conqeust the feel of the Galactic Civil War, if you were the Rebels just fighting Zann Consortium with no Empire. I sure hope All 3 teams can be i a galactic conquest (single)
Single player galactic conquest contains all three factions at the same time. Makes for some interesting back and forth play :)
Outstanding! That's what I was hoping for.
(what I am REALLY excited about is the multiplayer version of 3-way GCs ;)
this maybe old new but is the Executor available in Galactic conquest or is it a story based like the Eclipse??
It's in GC too. It's only the Eclipse that's Campaign only.

It's on auto-DVR. It's one of those shows that I don't have any handwork projects going while I watch it.
So imagine how thrilled I was to hear about Moda's Sliced competition.
All the excitement of Chopped with fabric? I'm in!
Here's my entry to the audition rounds:
Item must be for Office/Studio space
Fabrics must showcase a Moda precut
Must use a buckle
Must use batting
At first I thought my idea was a little crazy but the more I thought about it...the more I wanted to make it work.
I don't know about the rest of y'all but in this fabulous age of websites and blogs I am *constantly* printing out patterns. They get shoved in all sorts of piles around my office. They get coffee on them.
So I made a pattern keeper.
I pulled charms from the Meadow Friends charm pack and paired them with a gorgous green from the Twirl line.
It gave me the chance to try out a Wonky star block. Which I'd been meaning to do.
Flip it over and you have this:
The center is a vinyl window. My patterns stay protected from the craziness of the office but are still viewable.
Added bonus: Dry erase markers!
I will readily admit that I have a bit of craft ADD. I'm usually working on more than one thing at a time and sometimes I'll jump between projects by the hour. Being able to cross off where I left off in a pattern is amazing. Plus I'm not damaging any of my patterns. No reprinting/repurchasing.
As you can see I've got more than one pattern inside. I use paper clips to keep each one separate from the other.
I used overall buckles for it for a couple of reasons.
One I just really like how they look.
Two, when I'm done for the day I can close it *and* hang it:
Let's just ignore how I can't put nails in a wall straight, shall we?
I know exactly where all my patterns are. There are no clumps of paper all over the place. And I've got a cute little wall hanging.
Can you tell I love it?
Bonus pic of the moment when I felt I was getting my full Chopped experience:
For this episode I am the girl that
cut herself sewed through her finger.
It was so quick. The needle went in before my eyes saw that my finger was in the way.
I'm pretty proud, though. First I caught it before I bled on my fabric (yay!). Second, I wrapped it in paper towel and packing tape (I forgot to pick bandaids up at the store last week) and kept on sewing.
About five minutes later I was totally laughing.
Now that this is finished I've got a couple projects yet to wrap up before my birthday on Saturday.

A conservative women's group sees an historic number of women being sworn into the Senate on Thursday as a negative development.
Independent Women's Forum Executive Director Sabrina Schaeffer said in a statement that the increase in women, because they are mostly Democratic women, will be harmful for government.
"While a lot is being made about the record number of women joining the Senate, the reality is the majority of these women are Democrats – 16 of the 20 – and as a result we are likely to see higher taxes, bigger government, and less freedom," she said.
The increase in female senators to 20 has largely been lauded by members of both parties. Republican Sen. Susan CollinsSusan CollinsGun-control supporters plan next steps versus NRA House Republicans pushing gun control bill The Trail 2016: Berning embers MORE (Maine), while warning against the notion of "women's issues" or political issues geared specifically towards female voters, told ABC News the increase in representation was important.
"I always push back the idea that there are women's issues. Because every issue from war to taxes to education affect women in this country. And that's why the point of having women be represented on all committees and leading many of them is so important," she told ABC News.
But Schaeffer cautioned: "These women are to be congratulated for their accomplishments; but in the end one's political values are far more important than one's gender."

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman in the early-morning hours of July 20.
According to the sheriff's office, a woman in her 40s couldn't sleep and went out on her patio about 2 a.m. July 20 at her apartment in the 7400 block of South Quail Circle (near South Simms Street and West Ken Caryl Avenue). As she was headed back inside, a man grabbed her from behind and forced her inside, where he punched her, ripped off her clothes and sexually assaulted her. He then left through the apartment's front door.
Jeffco's share of Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funds dropped 16 percent from 2008 to 2009, but the district still awarded more than $820,000 to various organizations and events.
The Jeffco commissioners may have once again run afoul of the Colorado Open Meetings Law by using e-mail to discuss a common statement regarding the board's controversial effort to seek authority to regulate bicyclists on county roads.
The apparent violation comes less than two years after the Courier successfully sued the Board of Commissioners over a violation of the law in July 2007. In a settlement of that lawsuit, the commissioners acknowledged they violated the Open Meetings Law and agreed to follow all of the law's provisions in the future.
Jefferson County commissioners appear to be rethinking a plan to seek legislation that would allow them to regulate bicycles on county roads.
After several public meetings about a proposed cycling event through Deer Creek Canyon - and amid a continuing debate about the safety of bikes and cars co-existing on narrow foothills roads - the commissioners had announced they would seek legislative authority to regulate cycling.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the West Metro Drug Task Force seized more than 5,100 marijuana plants weighing nearly 2,000 pounds from land near Sugarloaf Mountain on July 9.
The plants have an estimated street value of $2.5 million.
The large grow area had a sophisticated irrigation system using water from a nearby stream, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.
"This looked like a very sophisticated operation," Kelley said.
Sugarloaf Mountain is in the Pike National Forest near Cheesman Reservoir.
Littleton investment banker J.J. Ament has thrown his hat into the 2010 race for state treasurer.
Ament, who is running as a Republican, has spent years in the private banking industry working mostly with governments on major investment projects, and he says taxpayers' dollars can be used and invested more efficiently.
"I've worked with this treasurer (and) with this governor," Ament said. "And it was frustrating for me to show them the right things to do and have them not do them, and then have to sit there afterward and show them the losses."
The Jeffco Sheriff's Office has arrested a suspect in a June 26 sexual assault at a South Jeffco home.
Ryan R. Iliff, 22, was arrested about 7 p.m. July 17 in South Jeffco based on evidence from the scene and information gleaned later in the investigation, according to sheriff's spokesman Jim Shires.
Iliff is suspected of breaking into a home about 2:30 a.m. June 26 near C-470 and West Belleview Avenue and sexually assaulting a woman in her bedroom. The woman, in her 50s, apparently didn't disturb any of the evidence and immediately called police after the attack.
A 7-year-old South Jeffco boy playing with a lighter suffered severe burns in a house fire July 17.
The boy, whose name hasn't been released, apparently was playing with a lighter in a closet in his parents' townhome on West Phillips Drive near Garrison Street just before 5 p.m. Friday, according to Micki Trost, spokeswoman for West Metro Fire Rescue.
An inevitable byproduct of serving in law enforcement is seeing people at their worst — doing terrible things and having terrible things done to them.
"You work as hard as you can not to get jaded," said Lt. Ron Leonard of the Jeffco Sheriff's Office. The 22-year sheriff's office veteran said law officers periodically need to renew their faith in humanity, and for him that happens in his work to raise money for the Special Olympics.
The popular swim beach at Chatfield Reservoir was closed for a little more than a day last week because of high levels of E. coli bacteria.
"The swim beach at Chatfield was closed on (July 14) and reopened (July 15)," said Colorado State Parks spokeswoman Deb Frazier.
Frazier said when heavy rains blanket an area near a reservoir or lake, it's not uncommon for bacteria such as E. coli to be washed into the water.

Weigh number one! uh oh...one....ONE.MEAS
Monday, October 17, 2011
This morning I was sitting eating my breakfast (I'm starting to warm to the cardboardiness of weetabix) and it hit me WEIGH IN DAY! Weigh in day was finally here. I leapt from my normal couch potato position in to the bathroom. I gently lay the scales on the ground and removed any excess weight I could. Slowly I stepped onto the scales. My mind was flickering back to the tiny lunches and the insane work outs I'd been doing and I looked down for the magic number...10ST 13!!!!!!!!! Aaaaall that hard work for 1 TINY LITTLE POUND!
Where did it all go wrong I asked myself...maybe it was the entire domino's pizza last night, or that bag of fudge, or the pic n mix, oh and not forgetting scrubbing off my goodbye food cake...oh ok so maaaaybe I wasn't quite as well behaved as I thought! Maybe in my head I'd convinced myself that if I exercised I could still get away with the odd binge and goes what? YOU CAN'T!
My goal for 10st is now officially impossible for 4th of November but BY GUM am I 'm going to give it a good bloody go! I've still got three weeks to get as close to that goal as possible and if I really really try I might be able to hit it for the week after when I have a big night out!
I'm a serial binge eater. I can't think of anything better than kicking back with a movie and a bag of cookies and some cake and maybe a pizza. Does anyone have ANY tips on how to refrain from the binge? I'm not really one for cutting portions so if its in the house it WILL go. I just do not have ythe will power, PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW!

Huzzah! It's not just me! Thank you both so much for your support! It's really good to know there are others out there with a face covered in cake and cheese.
My office is also LITERALLY full of chocolate. I work in an office of 35 or so and someone is always bringing in 'Birthday' cakes or 'Thank you' cakes or 'Oh god it's a Tuesday Morning' cakes. It's hard to resist when you can just whiz past and pick up a bit size flapjack 50 GAZILLION times a day.
I lost 20lbs last year (it came back with a vengeance) and I still ate chocolate everyday so that theory totally works. but I didn't eat a family size swiss rolls or packets of biscuits, this may be where the problem lies...

Ha-ha, I completely agree with you. I had the "weekend off" and haven't bothered weighing myself today. I love to kick back and snack with sweet things and a movie, my idea of heaven and anyone who disagrees is a mentalist!
I reckon if you don't deny yourself all week, you're less likely to binge. Say last week, I had this attitude of "I am not going to eat any chocolate!" and so when I was at work and the place was exploding with chocolate, it was literally eeeeverywhere, I felt really irritated, in the end I had one chocolate candy and realised, if you have something sweet now and again, instead of making it forbidden, you do better than not having a sweet say for 8 days then going crazy and ending up with our face in a bowl of cheesecake moaning incoherently. Not that that's ever happened to me, ahem *coughs*.
So I would say, if you are inclined to eat everything in the house, don't have it in the house, then the horror of actually having to LEAVE THE HOUSE TO BUY BAD FOOD will surely make you think twice. Especially in the winter when it's cold. Or you could just substitute the binge foods for slightly healthier alternatives but then its not as tasty. Hmm what a conundrum.
Even so you still lost weight despite eating loads of crap, so wahey.

binging is hard! I am starting have trouble with my teeth...so a double motivator to kick the sweets out the door. Salty food, harder...
I'll tell you what I started doing, it is not fun, but it has changed my behavior.
1. Pushups and Coach Nicole's workouts...especially the JumpStart...Not just bc it will get me in shape, it reminds me that I need to take better care of myself.
It was slow to get here. I just found out I have to get FOUR crowns from my dentist. So Halloween will be easy. But if anyone hands out cheese, I have to count to 10 and realize I don't need it.
2. I track nutrition AM and PM. I actually plan what I am going to eat. My hubby thinks I am weird, but I am determined to lose weight. Before I go to bed, I go back my nutrition and see if I followed my plan. That shook me up.
Good luck to you. I know it is not easy. I LOVE to eat. I love watching tv and eating. (I cut out tv too...I watch movies every now and then..that was part of the sleep challenge on sp...for myself)...My family loves to eat. Food is such a huge part of my life.
I also feel you about the stupid scales. I hate them right now. But I will grow to love them again. I am starting love working out again;-)

Super Bowl XLVPRII3: Choking the Seachickens
How to win against the Seahawks Man-Cover 3?
First and foremost, with a dozen sacks coming from their back seven, Denver needs to have their protection schemes properly prepared to handle the blitz. Fortunately, Manning/Gase/Ramirez and company are the best in the business in this regard, allowing a league low 20 sacks throughout the regular season (despite lining up against the likes of JJ Watt, Robert Mathis, Suggs and Dumervil, etc) and none throughout the AFC playoffs.
Now, what is Man-Cover 3? A traditional cover 3 has both corners and the free safety covering a deep third. In this coverage, the corners cannot allow someone to slip behind them in coverage as the safety couldn't realistically get to the ball in time, so you see corners surrendering the underneath stuff and not breaking on short routes until the ball is in the air. In Seattle, however, Earl Thomas is so damn good, corners are able to break and squat on the underneath routes, giving the defense more man-coverage elements... and weaknesses.
Despite the Icarus-esque parallels of flying too close to the sun, as opposed to the traditional "shut down corner", Richard Sherman does not travel. While I have no doubts that Manning and DT/Decker are very capable of melting his wings and drubbing him out of the "Best Corner in the league" nonsense, this presents a substantial amount of superior matchup opportunities for Denver's immensely talented, base 11-personnel package.
Denver excels at attacking the underneath stuff (a weakness of the cover 3) and grabbing YAC yards in chunks. Expect the latter to be limited by the fundamentally-sound, solid tackling Seahawks defense, but far from eliminated as our monstrous receivers will minimally be able to continue falling forward for a couple more yards.
I would expect Denver to attack those "deep-third"s with some deep crosses out of Twins formations (twins away from Sherman—Sherman is a cerebral player who is easily capable of disguising his coverage pre-snap and baiting our receivers into the wrong read stemming into their route). This will not only isolate Maxwell and <del>Rapist</del> Cox (if Demaryius lines up opposite Cox, do they play "Smell my finger" before the snap?), but it will also force some last second decisions by the corner and mid-field safety (Earl Thomas), and likely result in at least one big play. The Broncos would be wise to send Julius deep mid-field to threaten and hold the safety.

This is overdue. I'm still reading, but had to come post after this
Somebody is messing with you. Had a poor rating on WOT. I went in and rated positively to help balance the scales.
Just added in, in case you've already read:
Someone is saying your site is unsafe.
Nice writeup btw.
I thought Cox was released by the Seahawks and ended up back with the 49ers again.
And no love of Cam Chancellor?
The real issues for me are as follows:
1. Seattle moving to a more man-press scheme. I think they can do it, but it will be an adjustment, and it opens you up to more screens - which Denver is very good at.
2. Their grabby defense. They lead the league in penalties. They'll cheat and pull knowing it only gets called a third of the time. Denver's receivers need to know if they are going to "let them play" we need to push off, block early, and cheat just as much.
3. Turnovers. Denver wasn't fantastic at protecting the ball this year. Seattle is +3 on give/take in the playoffs. Though they only got one against the Saints, so three have come against one team. If Denver turns the ball over, it will be difficult to win.
4. Protection. You spoke to this a bit, but not the other side that seems to be getting ignored. Denver has handled some good defenses and handled them easily. The Broncos have allowed 0 sacks. What isn't being talked about is how the Seahawks have allowed Russell Wilson to be sacked 7 times - at home. Now granted, both New Orleans and San Fran have top tier pass rushes, but Denver is just a sniff behind them - and has been all year without Von Miller. Denver has been able to sack the QB the last several games and this is going against good offensive lines and All-pro QBs. On a neutral field Denver should be able to harass Wilson.
5. Intangibles. Denver has overcome quite a bit. And I really liked their workman approach after the game and how they've been pretty quiet. The Seahawks have been mouthing off and celebrating like they already won it. They're press conferences they've been putting a lot of stock in that preseason game like "we just need to do that again." Denver got smacked in the mouth then. I am hopeful the Hawks see the AFC, and our team by consequence as inferior. I suspect Denver comes out with a lot of intensity and is up for the task.
I see us losing if: If we turn the ball over and they are able to pressure Manning. If they officiate the secondary pretty lightly and we don't fight back they'll hold our receivers, sack Manning and give their offense opportunities. In those instances they will eventually get Lynch going and it will be a long day. I also could Harvin and some explosive special teams plays going their way and taking us down.
I see us winning: If we get a lead and make Wilson have to beat us. You alluded to this before, but if you stop the run and get some scores right away, you put the whole game on Wilson. That's a tall order for him. Wilson hasn't been asked to win the game for his team very much this year. I could see us getting some turnovers when show blitz and drop nine into coverage. I could also see Holiday finally breaking one.
It should be a good game. If Denver is physical and protects the ball, we should be able to win. If they buckle down and force a few, we will probably lose.
I think Moreno and Ball will be a key to winning this game. As long as Denver can establish a run threat, and make the defense have to defend the entire field. They don't have to bust out huge gains or go TD in XXXII, just have enough of a threat to keep the defense honest, and guessing. We haven't scored a ton in the playoffs, but we have controlled the games and the tempo, much in part to having an effective run game.
They should be up to the task. I'd love to see Ball have a "breakout" type game, I think he has that kind of ability.
Edited: I watched XXXII last night, man was it fun watching TD just take over that game. He really was the "unstoppable force".
Good writeup. Seattle rarely sends someone than the front 7 and usually only rushes 4. Wagner has delayed Blitz from time to time. I expect a Seattle to play coverage on the back end early and see how the front 4 is doing. If Denver doesn't turn the ball over they win.
I also re-watched some of the those old Super Bowl segments on NFL network they ran. (The 1985 Billy Ocean rip-off opening is the cheesiest). Anyway I watched the '77 SB that we lost to Dallas. You could tell the team was just happy to be there. They were mouthing off after the Raider game and so hyped up. Dallas was more business-like. Denver was very business-like after the Patriots game and has been pretty quiet.
Also loved watching the part of SB 33 when you see Shanahan dissect the Falcons coverage while the Falcons are on the field - and then the Broncos come right out and throw that big score to Rod Smith. It was Shanny at his best.
Chancellor's great but most robbers are. Eh. Earl Thomas is the engine that drives that bus.
Rev great point about a plethora of "Good" pass rushers just not a guy.
This definitely will be a key to us going up tempo, and thus I really do think the weather is such a key factor (which i hate to say)
Oh and Rev, a lot of write ups I have read state that Kam Chancellor can take Julius 1-1???
Isnt this exactly what Denver would want? Thoughts?
(he missed all the girl on girl action)
As always, I enjoy your write ups. Thanks for sharing!
How many times do you think Moreno will get open in the flat for 5-8 yard gains given the cover 3 D? One thing I've never been sure of, is a RB going out flat from the QB, is that part of the "underneath stuff" you refer to? I typically think of underneath as a WR or TE coming across a few yards past the line of scrimmage and in the middle.
Does that answer your question adequately?
I like your write up. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
The underneath stuff is open for wideouts because the corners are in their backpedal and have to keep the play in front of them and the outside linebackers physically aren't there yet.
The underneath stuff is not nearly as open running backs. As they flood to the flat, the outside linebacker is doing the same thing.

The issue with that is that the samples are not equal populations, so any adjustment in the populations would also have skewed results. Moreover, it would raise questions on separate methodology which would need to be applied to pick a smaller sample of the religious. Remember,
=10,650,267. There are a given population of religious and a given population of atheists.
Therefore the most accurate interpretation of the numbers would be to use actual
of both populations. Even still, 117, 681 is
no small sample size!
It fails to break it out by how religous they are, and whether they are fundamentalists.
My summaries fail at this, but both papers go into some detail with this regard. In fact, Nyborg conducts different statistical tests (12 I think) for various interpretations of religiosity.
Seems to me if you pick and choose where you get your data you can manipulate your data aquisition to skew your results.
Which is why he goes to great pains to exhaust a dozen possible compilations, attempting to control for various things like income and degree of religiosity. The results of each are consistent with the syllogisms hypothesized and, to be fair, he did find that liberally religious people scored higher than dogmatically religious, but the non-religious trended higher still.
Again, while I find it insulting that you keep making the claim that the religious are less intelligent, I do not judge the worth of a person by their IQ.
I'm not making an assertion so much as an observation. Those who do not consider themselves dogmatically religious or dogmatically conservative (i.e. wholesale buy-in to the more absurd fundamentals of conservative ideology), trend toward higher cognitive ability. Better thinking skills (rationalism, critical reasoning, skeptical processing, logical reasoning, etc.) cause help the individual make better decisions an align themselves better politically.
Whether or not you find data
or not is a choice you'll need to decision on your own. The data are empirical and it is reasonable to expect individuals of higher cognitive ability to engage in intelligent and reasoned discourse on topics they find controversial without choosing to be "insulted."
Nor do I judge their worth by the level of education.
Level of education was not a primary factor. The samples used in the Nyborg data were adolescents of 12-17 years of age. They are obviously pre-collegiate. They
of people with higher cognitive function to succeed in higher academics is greater, that's a given, but not a necessary component of either the hypotheses or the results.
**interesting to note that the average from the test is higher than the national average. could that indicate that those that took the ASVAB are smarter than the average person in the US?
It could also be temporally significant or significance could be a result of the test instrumentation (i.e. less psychological pressure since the ASVAB doesn't affect one's ability to be accepted to college). The key point is a single instrument was consistently applied to the entire population of
, giving each sub-population a consistent instrument of measure.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Three Arizona State University baseball student-athletes were selected on the third day of the 2014 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
Drew Stankiewicz was taken in the 11th round (322nd overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies and was the Sun Devils' highest draft pick. Nate Causey went in the 19th round (563rd overall) to the Colorado Rockies and David Graybill was picked by the New York Yankees in the 33rd round (992nd overall).
Forty-one Sun Devils have been taken in the MLB Draft in head coach Tim Esmay's five seasons at ASU, which is the most of any Div. I school in that time span.
ASU leads all NCAA schools with 399 total MLB draft picks, and at least one Sun Devil has been drafted every year since the draft's inception in 1965. The first-ever MLB draft pick was former Sun Devil Rick Monday.
Causey and Stankiewicz are both natives of Gilbert, Ariz., and 2011 graduates of Gilbert High School. The duo paced a Sun Devil offense that ranked first in the Pac-12 in the regular season in batting average (.286), slugging percentage (.389), hits (546) and total bases (741), and were second in on-base percentage (.374) and runs scored (325).
Causey started 112 games in his three-year career with the Devils, including 50 this past season. He led the Devils with 65 hits, including 14 doubles and four home runs, as the starting first baseman. He ranked fifth in the conference in the regular season with a .430 on-base percentage and 10th with a .469 slugging percentage, and recorded 31 RBI and scored 32 runs. He drove in 72 runs in his career and tallied more than 125 hits.
Stankiewicz started 124 games in three seasons at ASU, including 87 at shortstop. He made 45 starts in 2014 and was one of four players in the Pac-12 to rank in the top 10 in the regular season in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. He batted a team-high .331 and led the Devils with a .466 slugging percentage, and finished the year with 26 RBI and 34 runs scored. A career .306 hitter, he had more than 140 hits in his career and scored 79 runs.
Stankiewicz and Causey were both selected by the Rockies as high school seniors in 2011, with Stankiewicz going in the 40th round and Causey in the 46th.
Graybill, a product of Brophy Prep and a native of Phoenix, started 11 games in 2014 and appeared in 39 games across his two-year career. He drove in 13 runs and scored 15 behind 25 hits, including seven doubles and a home run. The Los Angeles Dodgers selected him in the 31st round of the 2012 draft.
Four ASU signees in the 2014-15 class were also drafted, including three on the first day and one in the 32nd round.
Drew Stankiewicz, 11th round, 322nd overall, Philadelphia Phillies
Nate Causey, 19th round, 563rd overall, Colorado Rockies
David Graybill, 33rd round, 992nd overall, New York Yankees
Ryan Castellani, 2nd round, 48th overall pick, Colorado Rockies
Alex Verdugo, 2nd round, 62nd overall pick, Los Angeles Dodgers
Marcus Wilson, Competitive Balance Round B, 69th overall pick, Arizona Diamondbacks
Tucker Baca, 32nd round, 973rd overall, Atlanta Braves

Evan Vucci, Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Democrats sought to push foreign policy, one of President Barack Obama's strengths, to the forefront of the White House campaign Sunday, casting Republican Mitt Romney as out of touch with the nation's international priorities and unprepared to manage them.
Vice President Joe Biden, campaigning in Pennsylvania, painted Romney as a warmonger who opposes ending the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and is looking to start new military action in Iran and Syria. He made the claim without offering any proof.
"He said it was a mistake to end the war in Iraq and bring all of our warriors home. He said it was a mistake to set an end date for our warriors in Afghanistan and bring them home," Biden said. "He implies by the speech that he's ready to go to war in Syria and Iran. "
The campaign did not immediately respond to a request for details on Biden's claim.
It was a rare mention of foreign policy in a campaign that has been dominated by the economy. Polls show Obama leading Romney on who voters see as stronger on foreign policy issues, an uncommon advantage for Democrats on the issue.
Romney has said he would consider military action in Syria if the war-torn country's chemical weapons were at risk of falling into the wrong hands. Romney has also said the U.S. must keep all options on the table, including a military strike, when dealing with Iran.
Obama opposes military action in Syria, where activists says 20,000 people have been killed in 17 months of clashes between government forces and rebels. He also supports using diplomacy to resolve the stand-off over Iran's disputed nuclear program, though he too has said all options are on the table.
Romney raised eyebrows when he failed to mention the Afghan war during his prime-time speech at the Republican Party's national convention last week.
Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom on Sunday defended the omission during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union." Ferhnstrom said Romney had already addressed the issue the day before in a speech to the American Legion.
"But Gov. Romney's convention speech was an opportunity for him to introduce himself to millions of voters who were seeing him for the first time," he said. "In that speech, he accomplished what he set (out) to do, which is to talk about his better vision for America, with more jobs and increasing wages. He talked about the failures of the Obama presidency over the last four years."
Obama's campaign plans to play up that strength during the party's convention this week in Charlotte, N.C. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, a possible second-term secretary of state under Obama, will highlight the president's foreign policy record Thursday night before Obama formally accepts the Democratic nomination.
Obama himself trumpeted his foreign policy credentials Saturday during a rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
"I said we'd take out bin Laden and we did," said Obama, referencing the raid he ordered that led to the death of the al-Qaida leader.
Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, an Obama supporter, previewed some of Kerry's likely message on Sunday.
"The president has gotten us out of Iraq. We're getting out of Afghanistan," Richardson said on CBS' "Face the Nation." ''We've got free trade agreements in Latin America we have a president that brilliantly dealt with the situation in Libya, with the Arab spring."
Romney spent Sunday at his New Hampshire vacation home. He and his wife, Ann, attended church services Sunday morning at the chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Wolfeboro, N.H.
Campaign officials said Romney would spend much of the Democrats' convention week preparing for the presidential debates.
Obama was campaigning Sunday in Boulder, Colo., where he planned to hold a rally with college students.

Ferns, Olympic Peninsula. Olympic National Park, Washington. August 16, 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Lush ferns grow along a trail through rain forest at Olympic National Park
On this day we initially planned to make a quick foray to North Cascades National Park, but I got a call saying that Olympic Peninsula web cams were showing relatively clear skies and that I should think about changing plans – so I did! Instead of heading north from the Seattle area, we headed west and took the ferry across Puget Sound, arriving to find clearing fog and some partial clouds, but quite a bit of sunlight. Taking the advice of someone who knows the Pacific Northwest better than I do, our plan was to first shoot down in the rain forest and then to head up to Hurricane Ridge near the end of the day.
We started at Sol Duc falls, a short one-mile hike from a parking area at the end of a side road. My mental image of these forests involves lush growth, cloudy conditions, and rain. The first was present, but both the clouds and the rain were missing. In some ways that could be a good thing, but shooting in the forest in the midday sun poses major problems. The main issue is so-called "pizza light," with deep shadows and bright, sunlit highlights mixed together throughout the scene. When we got to the waterfall, that is precisely what we found. The fall is in a narrow gorge – and while the bottom of the gorge was in deep shade, beams of direct sunlight were striking the white water of the fall. While it might be possible to make a photograph of this subject in such conditions, it made a lot more sense to me to turn my attention to smaller scale subject that allowed me to better control the light – and this close up "intimate landscape" of a twisting group of ferns is one of the results.

I am working through a problem set in an analytic number theory course, and the following problem was included:
Show that if $\chi$ is a non-principal Dirichlet character $\pmod{m}$, and where $L(s, \chi)$ is an $L$-function, then $$L(0, \chi) = \frac{-1}{m} \sum_{c=1}^m \chi(c) c,$$ and $$L'(0, \chi) = L(0, \chi) \log m + \sum_{c=1}^m \chi(c) \log \Gamma (\frac{c}{m}).$$
WARNING: The professor writing these problems has an unfortunate habit of teXing problems up incorrectly! Hence part of the "fun" for students taking the course is to figure out if the statement of the problem itself is correct, and if not, to figure out how to modify the statement to make it workable.
I am wondering if anyone visiting would be able to tell whether the problem as stated is right (and if so, suggest a strategy for proving it); if the statement is false, I am curious to know if anyone could either suggest how to modify the statement to be workable, or even point me in the direction of a text that contains a correct statement.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is not a very good movie and most of the blame for that falls into the lap of its director, Marc Webb. He was also the director of the first one and while it did well at the box office, that too was a let down. If you are unfamiliar on who Marc Webb is, he was the director of an independent film called, "(500) Days of Summer" that got a lot of deserved recognition. It arguable helped Joseph Gordon Levitt career reach its next level and impressed the folks at Sony to hire him to help with the reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. Sometimes when you take an independent film director and put him in charge of a big studio picture he will prove he can swim with the sharks, but after two Spider-Man movies it is clear that Marc cannot swim in the deep end.
The new movie takes place some months after the end of the first one. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone) are still dating and Peter is still saving the city and its citizens as Spider-Man. However, Peter is conflicted regarding the promise he made to Gwen's father he made and unbeknownst to Peter that a trio of super villains are right around the corner in his life to challenge him in ways he never imagined before.
So where does Marc Webb fail where directors like Joss Whedon, Jon Favreau and most recently Anthony & Joe Russo with "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" found such great success? For starters experience. The just mentioned directors have been doing what they have been doing for a much longer period of time than Marc Webb. Another problem with "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is the script as it takes too long to set the plot up and the movie could have clearly been cut down from its over two hour running time. You can argue that a bad script is not the director's fault, but one with more experience should be able to recognized those flaws and have them fixed early in pre-production.
Good action sequences are a key component for any successful comic-book movie and while there are some good elements to the climatic battle at the end of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", overall, starting with the opening action scene in the movie, they fail to impress and you never really get caught up with them. Creating a riveting action sequence is no easy task and clearly they are not Marc Webb's area of expertise.
Some thing that never fit quite right about the last movie was the music and the director did not learn his lesson on that because it is a problem with this movie too. The musical score rarely fits what is happening on screen. That is most apparent in scenes involving the chief villain of the movie, Electro (Jaime Foxx). It's quite a bizarre score, actually that might fit better in an independent film, but not here. Also in the musical scenes involving Electro, Marc Webb thought it best to have voice over inserted in it too that expresses what Electro is thinking or feeling. It's like he did not trust Oscar winner Jamie Foxx to convey those emotions on his own.
Speaking of the music, an additional big problem with it is that it often drowns out the dialogue on screen. You can barely make out anything Paul Giamatti is saying on screen. It's not just the music, the sound design draws too much attention to itself, but more so when it interferes with what the actors are saying. Another shock is despite the talent assembled for this movie, the performances are not up to par of what you would usually expect from these actors.
It is unfair to keep tearing apart Marc Webb like this (although, let's not forget that life is not fair). Something that "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" does have going for it is the visuals, not only with the cinematography and special effect, but the 3D is really good in it too. Unlike Disney who has their Marvel movies shot in 2D and then has them converted into 3D in post-production, Sony has these movies shot using 3D cameras. This is one of those cases where you can really see a difference. When Spider-Man is swinging around the city or when he is fighting against Electro, those 3D effects make it well worth spending the extra bucks to see it in that format. A 3D movie should give moviegoers an "experience" and at the very least this movie accomplishes that. Sadly, it does not accomplish much else. It is Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action/violence.

LeBlanc with Team USA
Drew LeBlanc ended his hockey career at St. Cloud State University just under two months ago and has already been a member of two other organizations.
The senior co-captain signed with the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL shortly after winning the Hobey Baker in April. He played two games with the organization prior to the NHL Playoffs beginning. LeBlanc is not eligible to play in the post-season since he was signed after the trade deadline.
However, LeBlanc has found yet another team to play with. He is currently participating and finding success with Team USA in their pursuit of a World Cup in Helsinki, Finland. In the first game of competition LeBlanc notched two assists that helped lift the USA over Austria 5-3 on Saturday. Team USA then went on to play Latvia Sunday, winning 4-1. The next game is slated for tomorrow (Tuesday) against Russia. Team USA will continue to play in search of a Gold medal through the next couple weeks.

Release Date: Oct 14, 2011
Genre: Drama
Rating: (R)
User reviews on Skin I Live In (La piel que habito)
This was an awesome film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. It was creepy and scary in the same time and I was really shocked by it many times. Pedro Almodóvar definitely went all out for this film and he did not censor himself at all, that is what I really liked about this film. I could not forget about this film for two days, i was trying to figure out if i hated it or loved it and I think it has that kind of affect on people, it is unsettling and amazing in the same time. Antonio Banderas was absolutely amazing and he really impressed me in this film.
This was an amazingly creepy and unsettling film that i will not forget about in a long log time. The film was a bit confusing in the beginning but in the end it all made sense and ended perfectly. I have to admit that many scenes made uncomfortable and even angry but i like when films make me feel and this one definitely did. The actors in the film do a remarkable job and Antonio Banderas is chilling and amazing, i was very impressed. Overall, this film will definitely shock and disturb you and will stick with you for a long time.
This is a drama about a plastic surgeon who creates synthetic skin that can withstand anything, the film is directed by Pedro Almodóvar and stars Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya and Jan Cornet. I really liked this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. I was really surprised by this film, I did not expect to like it at all. The film was a bit confusing in the beginning but it all tied up nicely in the end. The film was quite shocking and weird but in a good way, in a very good way. I have to warn you that many scenes will make you uncomfortable but it is worth experiencing. I guess this film is not for everybody and some people will be angry but I loved it.

Since its opening in 1999, Rooney's Public House in Abacoa has been a classic, if slightly upscale bastion of typical Irish fare. A few good brews on tap, bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, fish and chips, burgers and sandwiches, all in a clubby, lights-turned-down establishment that drew in a steady crowd and kept them coming long after other restaurants opened and closed on Town Center Drive.
But things are no longer all classically Irish at Rooney's. The pub has gone gastropub. It's become local, gourmet and organic. There are six salads, plus a salad of the day on the menu. Crab-stuffed deviled eggs and a house-made veggie burger. Raspberry hibiscus iced tea and locally-brewed sodas. There's ceviche and Rooney's Ale-battered salmon, Parmesan and garlic chips.
What in the world happened here?
Call it an evolution, a revolution or just a big change-up. Rooney's has taken up the locavore idea, given it free run in the kitchen and their sources get full credit on the menu. Onli Sodas (West Palm Beach) and Teas, Etc. (Delray Beach) are featured, along with a greatly expanded menu of beer offerings. Appetizers still include ale cheese and potato leek soups, but there's a locally sourced vegetable soup, too. The shrimp in your shrimp cocktail are Florida shrimp; the fish in the ceviche are also local. The chicken served here is Murray's free range organic and cheeses are either local or imported from Ireland.
The starter of crab-stuffed deviled eggs was more decadent than your average deviled egg, and worth the added calories. Not runny, eggy or fishy; everything balanced in terms of looks and taste. It's a dish that sounds over the top as a starter, but it isn't. The veggie burger, served on a brioche bun, is not the frozen patty puck you've had elsewhere. This is handmade from fresh vegetables, nuts and grains, topped with avocado and tomato. Unexpected in an Irish pub, but a welcome healthy addition to the menu. On the classic side, the shepherd's pie, a mix of beef, lamb, vegetables and mashed potatoes bound with a rich dark gravy, comes in its own cast iron fry pan. If you order this, you won't be sharing it.
And speaking of not sharing, if you like chips (what they call fries across the pond), get your own order. They come in four flavors or plain, and they are ridiculous in their addictive lightness. The server recommended the Parmesan garlic, and despite the scent of garlic that hit the table before the chips did, the flavor of garlic did not overwhelm at all.
And that server, along with the others, is part of what puts Rooney's in a newer and higher plane. They are knowledgeable. They eat what's on their menu, drink what's behind the bar, know what to recommend. Even on a busy car show Saturday night, they can keep up and smile while they do it.
Two changes from the old menu: prices are higher and portion sizes are smaller. The smaller portion sizes aren't a bad thing when you consider that great quality consumed in adequate amounts is more than adequate. And great quality costs more. Soups, salads, side dishes and small plates range from $4 to $15, sandwiches from $8 to $11 and entrees $14 to $26.
You can still come to Rooney's for a fish and chips fix with a side order of Guinness. Or you can check out the more adventurous side of an evolving menu. Either way, the Irish accent is still there.
Rooney's Public House, 1153 Town Center Drive, Jupiter, FL. Open 7 days. The kitchen open until 10 p.m. and the bar is open until midnight during the week (1 a.m. on weekends). Phone (561) 694-6610.
And here's a great find that has nothing to do with food. The Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue organization, started in 2007 and based in Royal Palm Beach, is a group of volunteers singularly dedicated to rescuing and caring for homeless and unwanted animals and finding both foster and forever homes for them. They are a great group of very enthusiastic people who have chosen to work as close to the streets as possible, spending their time, effort and funds on helping animals, rather than on boardroom battles, fancy offices or official salaries. This nonprofit is very much a grassroots organization that can use help, whether you can donate, volunteer, foster or adopt. Their recent appearance at the monthly Abacoa car show drew a big crowd and hopefully, some new foster and forever pet parents. Contact them at (561) 684-1010 if you can help.

New colors and better services for Nokia's Supernova phones
Good news for all the fans of Nokia's Supernova range: the Finnish manufacturer has announced new color versions for all its Supernova handsets, save for the recently presented 7100 Supernova.
Thus, Nokia 7610 Supernova, Nokia 7510 Supernova, Nokia 7310 Supernova and Nokia 7210 Supernova now have two new colors each: Passionate Purple and Graphite.
Targeted at the fashion-conscious segment of mobile users, Nokia's Supernova phones are not about high-end features, that's why their aspect counts more than their technical specs.
Anyway, it seems that the phones are quite successful, otherwise I don't see any reason for Nokia to invest time and money in new colors for them.
In addition to the fresh colors, Nokia has also announced enhanced services for the Supernovas, related to Ovi Share, Nokia Maps and Windows Live Messenger.
We'll soon publish a Nokia 7210 Supernova review, so stay tuned if you're interested in this particular phone (which can be seen in the above image, in its new purple version).
