Then & Now: Corner of 9th & G Streets NW
In many ways, the corner of 9th and G Streets NW is in a different world than it was in the 1920s. But even today, it's recognizable by the architecture and remains a transit hub.
President Lincoln's second inaugural party in March 1865 took place at the Old Patent Office Building at this intersection. Today, that structure is home to the National Portrait Gallery.
The corner is also home to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library and an entrance to the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro station.
In the old image, streetcars prepare to head northbound on 9th Street NW, now a one-way southbound street. Clumps of snow are melting in the street. American flags hang between the columns of the Old Patent Office Building. Across the street a dentist and cigar shop are where today is a YWCA and a Segway tour company.

Chislehurst boxing legend Frank Maloney has told the world he is having a sex change and living as a woman.
The 61-year-old, a past fight promoter and manager of world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, explained her name is now Kellie and has been having hormone therapy.
In an interview with The Sunday Mirror, wearing a dress and high heels, the Millwall fan said she "was born in the wrong body and have always known I was a woman" – before revealing she is now more than a year into changing gender.
She explained: "I have a female brain. I have never felt comfortable doing boys' things, playing boys' games."
Kellie said she has spent years fearing her secret would come out and has been "mentally tearing myself apart".
Now reportedly split up from wife Tracey, but remaining good friends, she also said she has never been able to tell anyone in the world of boxing – often perceived to be a macho profession.
But Kellie added: "I hope society will be open-minded. I know I could have done my job in boxing as a female."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted during a morning speech in Washington that he could agree to an American demand that Israel withdraw from 13 percent of the West Bank if the Palestinians agree to concrete security requirements. Netanyahu, who held a second round of talks this afternoon with U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, told the Washington Institute for Near East Policy that the major sticking point in the talks is whether Albright would demand another sizable withdrawal in a couple of months. American and Israeli negotiators continued to work today to hammer out an agreement on the conditions of an Israeli redeployment from the West Bank.

Dean Paul's murky, twisted beats are irresistible
In order to fully understand the impact Dean Paul has had on the West Coast techno scene, you should know that he is a full-time resident with Droid Behavior, the Los Angeles collective behind the Droid Recordings label (other residents include techno powerhouses Audio Injection, Drumcell and Raíz), the D-Node podcast and countless techno underground events that have kept the L.A. scene popping. Dean Paul (due this Friday, February 15, in the Beatport Lounge at Beta) started mixing tracks when he was a mere fourteen years old and graduated to producing his own selections about a decade ago, when he was in his early twenties. His sound is on the murky side, dark and twisted and — like that of Chris Liebing (with whom he has performed) — completely undeniable when it beckons you onto the dance floor.

FOXBORO -- Enough is enough.
It's time for Rob Gronkowski to hit the field running Sunday like Danny Amendola did in pregame warmups this past Sunday in Cincinnati or acknowledge that it might be a while before No. 87 hits anything.
Limbo is a terrible place to be. Just ask the Patriots. Their most valuable receiver in the most potent offense of the last decade has been PUP/MIA all season. Not even Wes Welker created the mismatches on the field that Gronkowski generated -- when healthy -- the last three seasons.
Sure, he's been on the practice field. There was practically a ticker-tape parade outside Gillette when he was spotted "in clear view" of all reporters the week before the season began, performing routine training exercises on the Revolution's soccer pitch below the practice fields.
This week, Gronkowski spoke on Thursday, a day later than normal. No one would blame Gronkowski if he wanted to avoid the heavy crush of media customary on Wednesdays. Still, the moment the locker room opened at 12:30 Thursday afternoon, there was a beeline of 10 reporters and seven cameras to Gronkowski's locker. Poor Matthew Mulligan, Gronk's immediate neighbor to his left. Mulligan was remarkably gracious, "No problem," he told me. "You all have a job to do."
The fatigue factor is written all over everyone's face inside Gillette Stadium, and the crowd grows bigger and bigger.
They're tired of answering the same old question week after week after week. Will Gronk be on the field this week?
"It's basically nothing new," Gronkowski said Thursday. "Just working hard every week, working hard out at practice and nothing's changed. We're day by day like we've been from the very beginning. It's all about the New England Patriots vs. the New Orleans Saints this weekend. It's going to be exciting. They've got a good team."
That's the point. For this to be about the Patriots and their opponents, the questions, speculation and mind-reading about Gronkowski has to come to an end. Admittedly, with the decision now in the hands of Dr. James Andrews, the decision isn't entirely theirs anymore.
"Whenever that happens, who knows? I feel like I've kind of talked about it a lot the past five weeks," Tom Brady said with a smile that belies his growing irritation. "If he is there, he's there. If he's not, he's not. We're going to try to win anyway."
Brady likely is irritated because he wants his game-changing tight end back on the field and to get on with the business of trying to score points like he used to. With quarterbacks like Drew Brees (this Sunday), Peyton Manning and Joe Flacco on the schedule, Brady knows eventually the Patriots need to get their butts in gear.
"I just want us to score points, so whatever it takes to score points, that's what matters," Brady said. "I think you let your emotions get into it and feelings and so forth. I mean, realistically, you have to come up with a plan. We have to figure out [how] to score points. I said after the game, we're not going to win many games scoring six points. So, if we score six points this weekend we probably won't win. We've got to do a lot better than that."
And Gronk is a huge part of that. Everyone knew the Patriots would take a hit with no Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski to start the season. But at 6:01 p.m. on Aug. 31 when Gronkowski came off the PUP, there was immediate speculation as to when he might play.
Weeks 1 and 2 were almost immediately ruled out as Gronkowski worked his way back into condition in practice, which was one big reason for taking him off the PUP list. But as the team closely monitored his condition, Gronkowski was showing signs of doing everything in practice that he needed to do to play in a game.
There was the thought inside the organization that Gronkowski would be cleared and ready to take the field against Tampa Bay. But Gronkowski, reportedly on the advice of his father and those in his inner circle, backed off. The word is that his forearm wasn't healing the way they thought after his fourth surgery since breaking it last November.
Go ahead, blame the media for asking the same repetitive question all you want, but until the star tight end returns to action, it's a question that has to be asked.
Bill Belichick is tired of having to stare down the NFL Network's Albert Breer every time Breer asks about Gronkowski -- at least that's the obvious impression the Patriots coach gives. Belichick might as well put a hologram of himself up on the fancy new podium setup in the media workroom and hit the play button every time he's asked.
That way he won't have to say "day to day" four times like he did on Wednesday. He won't have to answer, "He practiced," when asked about Gronkowski's physical condition every other day.
Look, everyone knows the deal. Belichick isn't about to disclose trade secrets or any player's health status publicly.
But this is a little different. No one wants Gronk back on the field more than Belichick and his quarterback.
Brady can talk all he wants -- as he did Wednesday -- how the Patriots won four games without the tight end and they'll try to win if he's not in the lineup Sunday vs. New Orleans.
But the fact is that inside the walls of Gillette there is a growing impatience with this situation. In September, it was assumed that Gronkowski would eventually be back on the field and back at full strength with no worries. Now, that certainty is gone.
"I'm just working every day, improving every day to my max and taking it day by day," Gronkowski said, before being asked what it will be like to finally get back on the field in a game. "It's going to be a great feeling, obviously. Just been working hard towards that goal, working hard every day to achieve that. It's going to be exciting when it happens. It's going to be awesome.
"Really just taking each at a time and just trying to improve every day at a time and that's all. I'm improving every week. Obviously, when I started at the beginning, conditioning was pretty rough, but that's what practice is for and working hard is for. Just improving every week, taking it day by day, and we'll be super excited when I get out there."
Gronkowski won't be the only one "super excited" if he finally takes the field Sunday. Then, and only then, will the questions finally stop.
Christian and Chris talk about overrated Pats players this season and in the past and then get into the QB issue on the team.

Spotsylvania, VA, May 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Virtual Pediatrics (www.virtualpediatrics.com), a national pediatric telemedicine service dedicated specifically to children, provides immediate medical care to those sick or injured, without them having to leave the comfort of their home. Certified family and pediatric health care providers, through online webcam consultation, provide personalized treatment plans, including e-prescriptions if needed. Virtual Pediatrics is set to launch in 10 states (AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, NJ, NY, NC, TX & VA) this month.
Virtual Pediatrics Providers
Virtual Pediatrics' dedicated and compassionate providers, who are board certified, licensed and credentialed to practice in their respective state, remain on standby for consultation from the hours of 8am to 12am, seven days a week.
Why Wait?
Children no longer need to wait a day or two to see their family doctor, nor will they have to wait in a crowded office or ER waiting room with other sick patients for minor ailments. By receiving an immediate telemedicine consultation and treatment, kids won't miss additional days of school, parents won't have to call out from work and worry about additional lost wages, and most importantly, sick or injured children can start getting better sooner.
Save Money
The cost of a Virtual Pediatrics consultation is less than many walk-in clinic fees and insurance co-pays, especially those expensive ER copays parents often pay after hours, when their doctor's office is closed.
What and Where Do Virtual Pediatrics Providers Treat?
Virtual Pediatrics treat children anywhere – at home, daycare, or on vacation. This month, Virtual Pediatrics will launch in 10 states (Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia). Each month, additional states will be added until Virtual Pediatrics providers are able to care for children in all 50 states. Illnesses or ailments that can be treated through online consultations include, but are not limited to:
Abrasions, Allergies, Bites & Stings, Body Aches, Bronchitis, Bruises, Burns, Colic, Cough, Croup, Dehydration, Diarrhea, Ear Ache, Fever, Flu, Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, Headaches, Hives, Itchy Eyes, Lice, Medication Refills, Minor Head Injuries, Nasal Congestion, Nausea, Pink Eye, Rashes, Reflux, Respiratory Infections, Seasonal Allergies, Sinus Infections, Skin Infections, Sore Throat, Sprains & Strains, Travel Medications, Urinary Tract Infections (Only for Older Kids), Vomiting
How Does It Work?
Parents can go to www.virtualpediatrics.com and click "start visit", after which they will be directed to the registration page of our partner company, MeMD. Once the secure patient account is created, parents complete a brief medical history form for their child and submit payment, at which point they are directed to a patient care coordinator who will arrange the consultation between patient and healthcare provider. Upon completion of the webcam consultation, a Virtual Pediatrics provider will provide an individual treatment plan for the child's ailment and, if needed, e-prescribe any medication to a local pharmacy that the family selected during the registration process. After the visit is concluded, parents can login to the patient account and print their child's medical record as well as discharge instructions for their specific condition.
Leading Edge of Pediatric Healthcare
Virtual Pediatrics is working toward becoming the national leader in pediatric telemedicine, while providing excellent medical care to children and families in need. In this era of social media and advanced video technology, the practice of medicine is constantly evolving, and Virtual Pediatrics is at the frontier of this rapidly developing area of pediatric healthcare.

|Rewatching that his mobility
Rewatching that his mobility kinda reminds me of Jake Rudock. If his decision making is better than O'korn and he is less turnover prone then I can see why he would win the starting job.
Going against which string defense caveats applied, watching the spring game Wilton looks much more calm and collected while O'korn kinda looks jittery imho

|I take it to mean that
I take it to mean that Harbaugh is the type of coach that will go for a playaction bomb with 3 seconds left in the half up 31-0 so he's not going to let their talk of being underdogs and motivation techniques outwork the team's motivation, which is to attack with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
In the pre-harbaugh days, it seems like teams will come out hype for maybe the first series and get punched in the mouth and wither away.
Now it seems Harbaugh has instilled and every down, every snap mentality of winning that even a pointless spring game seems like the big ten championship to the players.

|This is exactly what I'm
This is exactly what I'm talking about Trust. As good as the DL has played the strength might still be the secondary.
You got Jourdan Lewis, whos All American caliber, Peppers, the consistently solid Jarrod Wilson, and lengthy improving corners opposite in Clark, Stribling, Dymonte whos improving and Delano.
What other secondary would you want in the country to leave on islands in the entire country besides ours? I mean they have former QB as a WR so their WR's arent exactly lighting the world on fire but we don't put more in the box against their Heisman candidate running back?
If Morgan is too slow to react and Bolden doesn't react well, then have them shoot gaps and cause havoc in the backfield. At worst take up space so OSU offense has less space to work with and be more uncomfortable, especially when the DL is depleted.
I was at that game and it just seemed like OSU offense kept on chipping away and killing momentum and soon enough, fatigue either kicks in and we get hit by a deep throw.

|I honestly feel much better
I honestly feel much better after seeing in the breakdown that he runs a similar defense to what we had ran this past regular season.
I think the most important upgrade in defense in this hire that I hope to see and that I have been reading about is how agressive he is with this defense and that he can bring blitzes from anywhere.
IMHO, Even with a good/great defense this year, it seemed all too often that the defense was always trying to react to what the opposing offense is trying to do instead of attacking. It almost seemed the like the defense wanted to line up and see if the other team can beat them straight up instead of being agressive, attacking to make things happen.
Maybe thats why our turnovers are lacking, the pressure is there against talent inferior teams, but with talent rich teams, creativity in pressure is a must. I don't know maybe Im looking at the wrong thing or maybe the talent at LBs is hamstringing the defense in what it can do but it seemed like Mattison often brought extra peeps off the edge like Kovacs/Jake Ryan instead of hoping our DL wins one on one.
Maybe I was spoiled growing up watching Jim Johnson's eagle defense, but I hope to see a defense where athletic players are blitzing the crap out of the offense and the other team's offense will have to react to our defense.

|What I'm hoping for after
What I'm hoping for after reading this, is Michigan's CB's getting all up in the face of MSU's WRs so they dont have free release and because of that Connor Cook isn't going to be able to make quick decisions and dink and dunk passes. Also want to see a lot living in the MSU backfield by the DL, sacks, hits, hurries, and at best for them balls thrown out of bounds because of the pressure.
I think the front 7 will neutralize any sort of running game since our run D is a strength and almost every RB Michigan played has had a bad game against Michigan front 7. And their OL is banged up to boot.
Hopefully our offense keeps improving and gelling and with basically having 3 offensive coordinator I'm excited. Cant wait till gameday

|Ryan would have played
Ryan would have played Ojemudia's position, didn't he play something similar to begin his career?
From the games it seems he has a knack for getting to the quarterback and making plays in the backfield with his hand on the ground.
I think the last coaching staff probably put him in the middle since best players play but I always thought he was a terror especially with his JMFR hair flow days.

|Personally think this game
Personally think this game falls on the OL and the RB's especially Smith. Northwestern's defense seems really quick and anything to the outside seems like a TFL waiting to happen.
If their CBs are as good as this says and Rudock being a bit shaky at QB, I think power manballing might be the way to neutralize their speed to the edges by going straight at them hat on a hat, especially if their DL isn't standout.
But if OL gets blown up at the line of scrimmage I will be remembering shades of Utah all over again.

|Honestly with our defense, I
Honestly with our defense, I would rather face a good pro style team like MSU than a good spread team. I feel our guys are big but not necessarily quick so we might have good enough beef to match up well with MSU.
Also since we have quality coaching now, it is still reasonable to expect improvement week to week and good game planning that might make a difference especially since theres over a month worth of games and practices left before the MSU game. And with home field advantage in a rivalry game, we should definitely have a shot.
But I also agree with the other posters that Drake Johnson will likely be key if we are to win. We are going to need speed to the outside if there is a chance to win, running up the gut with Smith is not the answer with MSU even if Smith is improved since they always double A gapping, their CBs with their grabby defense and the currently shaky passing of Rudock is not going to help as of now either.
Will Michigan win? not sure, but does Michigan have a chance? Hail Yes

|Man it's almost always
Man it's almost always Smith's fault, no vision and he doesn't follow the lead blocks, On a play like that you always follow the FB which is Kerridge with another OL blocking and run it to the outside.
If the play turned out well here is what would have happened, he would have gotten about 2 yards for the first down if he followed his blocks like he's supposed to. If it was Drake Johnson, that might have been a touchdown or a long gain since most of Utah's defenders inside and two lead blockers on the outside.

|After the last few years, I
After the last few years, I can imagine why our receivers would be shocked to see a deep ball thrown their way.

OL pass pro looks fairly solid so I'm hopeful a little more work in practice going deep will help going further in the season

|The hesitation before running
The hesitation before running into a giant pile doesn't help either. Almost like no RB instincts. The only difference is that Booker had proven himself to be a good RB throughout last year. And with smith. It's more of the same, until Drake Johnson takes over.

Charles Lupton Geren, known as Charlie Geren (born October 22, 1949),[1] is a businessman from his native Fort Worth, Texas, who is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives. He represented District 89 from 2001 to 2003, and since that time District 99. Both districts encompass a portion of Tarrant County.[2]
Geren was re-elected for his eighth consecutive term on November 4, 2014.
The older of two sons of Preston Murdoch Geren, Jr., of Fort Worth, Charlie Geren obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Southern Methodist University in University Park near Dallas.[3] His younger brother, Pete Geren, is a Democratic former member of the United States House of Representatives from Texas's 12th congressional district and was from 2007 to 2009 the United States Secretary of the Army in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush.[4]
Charlie Geren owns the Railhead Smokehouse restaurant and is affiliated with both the Texas and Fort Worth restaurant associations. He is president of the LGS Godly Ranch Corporation, which was organized by his father in 1965. A real estate broker, he is a past partner of Kelly, Geren, & Searcy Commercial Real Estate and a member of the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors. He is a trustee of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and a vice president and executive committee member of the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show, commonly known as the "Fort Worth Rodeo". Geren is a former member of the Texas Water Development Board.[3]
Geren is divorced from the former Antoinette "Toni" Margaret Ray (born c. 1962). The couple has a grown daughter, Emily.
Geren lists his religion as Baptist.[1]
Geren was first elected to the state House in District 89 in 2000 to succeed the Republican Sue Palmer of Fort Worth, who did not seek a third term. He defeated his Democrtic opponent, the attorney Nathan Butler Schattman (born c. 1970) of Fort Worth, 23,548 (62.6 percent) to 14,077 (37.4 percent).[5]
In the 2002 general election, Geren defeated the Democratic lawyer Mimi Coffey (born c. 1968) of Fort Worth, 23,427 votes (68.9 percent) to 10,012 (29.4 percent). Another 1.66 percent was cast for the Libertarian Party nominee, Bobby E. Hearn, Jr.[6] In 2006, Geren faced two primary opponents, Christopher "Chris" Hatley and Colby W. Brown (born c. 1973) but prevailed with 3,768 votes (54.9 percent). Hatley trailed with 2,867 votes (41.7 percent); Brown, with 234 (3.4 percent).[7] In the 2008 primary, he defeated the Fort Worth optometrist Tom Annunziato (born c. 1947), 7,870 (58.1 percent) to 5,683 (41.9 percent).[8]
In the general elections of both 2006 and 2008, he defeated Democratic opponent, Sheila Ford. Geren drew 22,906 votes (63.1 percent) in 2006 to Ford's 12,285 (33.8 percent).[9] In 2008, he polled 46,254 (64.8 percent) to Ford's 23,135 (32.4 percent). In both cases, Libertarian candidates held the remaining approximately 3 percent of the vote.[10]
Geren has faced no opponent since the Republican primary in 2010, when he defeated current colleague Matt Krause in District 93, 8,037 (57.6 percent) to 5,915 (42.4 percent) [11]
Legislative positions[edit]
In 2013, Geren supported the ban on abortion in Texas after twenty weeks of gestation; the measure passed the House, 96-49. He supported companion legislation to increase medical and licensing requirements of abortion providers,[12] a law that the opponents claim could shut down many abortion facilities. In 2011, Geren sponsored the bill which requires a woman procuring an abortion in Texas to undergo first a sonogram. The measure passed the House, 107-42. Supporters of the ultrasound legislation claim that a woman could change her mind about an abortion once she witnesses the development of the unborn child through the advanced technology. On another abortion restriction measure in 2011, the prohibition of state funding of agencies which perform abortions, Geren did not vote.[12] The Texas Right to Life Committee rated Geren 67 percent favorable in 2013, 62 percent in 2011, and 63 percent in 2005. In 2003, his second legislative session, Right to Life had rated him only 17 percent.[13]
Geren voted for the legislation to establish a taxpayer-funded breakfast program for public schools; the measure passed the House, 73-58. He co-sponsored legislation to provide marshals for school security as a separate law-enforcement entity. He voted to extend the franchise tax exemption to certain businesses; the measure passed the House 117-24. He voted for the adoption of the biennial state budget in both 2013 and 2011. He voted to require testing for narcotics of those individuals receiving unemployment compensation. Geren supported the "equal pay for women" measure, which passed the House, 78-61.[12]
Geren voted to forbid the state from engaging in the enforcement of federal regulations of firearms. He co-sponsored related legislation to permit college and university officials to carry concealed weapons in the name of campus security. He voted to reduce the time required for one to obtain a concealed-carry permit in Texas. Geren voted against term limits for certain state officials. He voted to prohibit texting while driving. He voted for the redistricting bills for the state House and Senate and the United States House of Representatives.[12]
In 2011, Geren voted to reduce funding for state agencies. He voted to establish eligibility standards for indigent health care. He voted for the institution of corporal punishment in public schools; the measure passed the House, 80-64. As a restaurant owner, he voted against the prohibition of smoking; the measure passed the House 73-66. in public places. He voted for the sales tax on Internet transactions; the measure passed the House, 125-20. He supported picture identification for voters casting a ballot in Texas,[12] a measure which finally took effect in October 2013.[14]
Interest group ratings[edit]
Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, managed in Texas by Cathie Adams, a former state chairman of the Texas Republican Party, rated Geren 70 percent favorable in 2013, 35 percent in 2011, and 63 percent in 2009. The Young Conservatives of Texas scored him a 56 percent lifetime score. The Texas League of Conservation Voters rated him 83 percent in 2013; the Sierra Club, 38 percent in 2011. The interest group, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, founded by Michael Quinn Sullivan, rated him 37 percent in 2013 and 50 percent in 2011, low scores for a Republican lawmaker. The Texas Association of Business gave him a cumulative score of 82 percent over his entire legislative career. The National Rifle Association scored Geren 100 percent in 2012 and "A" ratings for all previous House sessions. The Libertarian Party in 2007 rated Geren 53 percent on both economic issues and personal liberties. In his first legislative session in 2003, he was rated 100 percent by the interest group, Texans for Lawsuit Reform.[13]
Geren, an ally of Joe Straus, the Moderate Republican Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives from San Antonio, faces Tea Party movement opposition in the Republican primary on March 1, 2016.[15]
