This is the proceedings of an international symposium arranged by the Swedish Delegation for Applied Medical Defense Research conducted in Stockholm Feb 5 to 6, 1965. The conference consisted of 50 contributors; 43 were from Sweden, 5 from the United States, 1 from Denmark, and 1 from Argentina. The papers were concerned with physiological reactions under conditions of emotional stress. Medical, industrial, and military implications were discussed. These are scholarly discussions with lively comment on papers, generous bibliographies, and no index.

I think the SMB protocol converts everything to upper case. If you look at a
WINS database it's all upper case. *nix treats different case as unique but
Windows doesn't yet. GLOBAL, GlObal, Global are all the same to Windows. I
think even XP creates short (8.3) uppercase files names in addition to the
long ones you can use.
On the other hand if you use *nix long enough, the file names tend to become
criptic short lowercase (eg: bin, ls, awk, etc.)

In line with Microsoft's security patches for this month, Adobe and Oracle have both released security updates to popular products on the same day. If you have one or more of these types of software on your system, then you should definitely make sure you have the latest versions installed to help keep your system as secure as possible.
Isn't it just amazing that after installing the JDK bloody yesterday, I need to install an update?
Watch out for bundled software! e.g Ask Toolbar, Norton/McAfee
Hehe, I don't need to. I use Ninite for installing JDK or JRE, which filters out Ask. And I don't even use Adobe Reader.
Watch out for terrible apps being installed...like Java.
Developing for Android needs this particular bit of badware (glaring at Google).

Who says you can't get good help anymore? Her royal charge is not due for another six weeks, but Barbara Barnes, 39, Charles and Diana's newly appointed nanny, is ready for the job. Her references, after all, are impeccable. "She's been a super nanny to us—we love her," enthuses one of her current responsibilities, Amy (left), 11, daughter of Lady Anne and the Hon. Colin Tennant. Amy's identical twin, May, adds, "We shall be sad when she leaves us, but we know she will be happy with the Prince and Princess of Wales." Barbara has been with the Tennants for 14 years. When asked if she would wear the customary starched nanny's uniform in her new post, Barnes (who will make about $180 a week) exclaimed, "Good grief, no!" Nor does she expect the royal offspring to call her "Miss Barnes." A simple "Barbara" will suffice.
Cutting up with Liz and Dudley
At the wrap party for Lovesick, observers wondered if perhaps the film's co-stars, Dudley (Arthur) Moore and Elizabeth (Ragtime) McGovern, were taking the title a little too seriously. "They spent most of the evening necking behind a pillar," tattles one partygoer, adding yet another rumor that Moore's romance with actress Susan Anton has cooled. Moore, 47, and McGovern, 20, came up for air long enough to uncork the bubbly and cut the clapper-board cake concocted by Manhattan's Central Falls restaurant, where the bash was held. No doubt Dudley and Elizabeth were just keeping in character: He plays a Freudian analyst; she's a young patient he falls for. Sounds like a case of having your cake and eating it too.
Steve and Carl play Rachel's ward
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (or so insists the title of Steve Martin's latest movie), but live comics certainly do if the wild and crazy guy's Bob Mackie ensemble is any indication. Martin was joined by his more conservatively attired co-star Rachel (Sharky's Machine) Ward and director Carl Reiner at the film's L.A. premiere. In the wake of the devastating reviews, however, it's a wonder that Martin could find anything to laugh about.
Loretta barbs Conan
The L.A. opening of Conan the Barbarian brought out the beast in more than 100 animal lovers, including M*A*S*H's Hot Lips, Loretta Swit. The demonstration, staged by the American Humane Association, protested the alleged use of wires to trip horses in battle scenes. Conan himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, denies the charges. "The animals were usually better treated than the actors," says the beefy body builder, who did his own stunts and claims he was nearly reduced to chopped sirloin by a hungry vulture and wild dogs.
Leapin' hairlines!
Without her cotton-candy wig, brunette Aileen Quinn hardly looked like the orphan she immortalizes in Annie. But nasty Miss Hannigan (a/k/a Carol Burnett) still recognized the waif amid a New York press stampede and wouldn't let her go. Alas, Daddy War-bucks was nowhere in sight. Or was he? When a strange man with dark wavy hair said, "Hi, Aileen," the 10-year-old moppet looked puzzled, then exclaimed, "Oh, Albert, it's you!" Her mother, Helen, explains, "Aileen had never seen Albert with hair before."

I used to have to add "somehow" to "may this food bless our bodies" and now I don't, because I know it will. What about you? Has your dinner prayer changed?
Printable View
I used to have to add "somehow" to "may this food bless our bodies" and now I don't, because I know it will. What about you? Has your dinner prayer changed?
We have never done a dinner prayer. But as my daughter, now 3 1/2, began speaking, we decided to start a tradition of holding hands and each talking about something we are thankful for. My wife and I try to steer at least some of it to our food. Yesterday it was fresh arugula from the garden (first harvest of the year). Often it is for the wild salmon or beef from the wild range 1/2 cow in the freezer. My daughter usually gets it.
This is the one my dad would say:
Come Lord Jesus be our guest, let this food to us be blessed. Amen.
The other one my dad would say:
Rub-a-dub-dub. Thanks for the grub. Yay God.
Well, now that we're primal for some reason we eat desserts more..... (bananas and whipped cream)
The kids like to sing the second verse of 'grace' just before dessert is served up
Our dinner prayer has not changed. We thank the Lord for the food we have been provided and ask that it bless us. Grace usually says "so we can be happy and healthy"
My paternal grandmother is a reverend, as is my mother-in-law. My mom is over-the-top- Southern Baptist, My sister is Pentecostal. They all have WIDELY differing beliefs, but they all want to hold hands around the table and say "thanks to God," but only during holidays. I don't know why, but it makes me cringe. I DO NOT HOLD HANDS. I think it feels forced. I never hold hands or pray in public.
My maternal grandparents, who both have Native American grandparents, feel the same way I do. MY relationship to this thing I feel is God, has nothing to do with holding hands and making rushed thanks in it's honor. If I THINK about where my food comes from and how it got there, or what seemingly magical force enacted upon evolution for me to be able to be at the top of the food chain and eat this food, I believe that's enough. The awe is enough thanks. I thank "Lion King" circle of life and whatever factor decided that I wasn't going to be the cooked-goose in this flesh. stop making me hold hands and pray out-loud. It sucks. I always want to leave. *Anxiety and cerebral overload, at its finest*
I hate the "holding hands" thing, too. My mother-in-law does that - and to make matters worse, sometimes she will get the singing bug and we all have to sing grace for our supper whilst hanging on. We do it for her, since we do not live in each other's pockets, therefore it is only a few times per year, but we really dislike it all the same.
Probably a half-dozen times a day, I just naturally have a little pause in my day, just for myself, not that anyone would notice, but I am just deeply appreciating whatever has struck me at the moment, and I mentally say thanks. Some moments are more profound than others but all are sincere. Decently often I mention the things I am thankful for and humbled by to whoever caused them because I don't want to bottle appreciation up - it should be shared whenever the timing is right and/or appropriate. My kids see this from me, and sometimes share their thankful moments with me - and that makes me thankful all over again.
Mostly, we show respect for the food we eat by not wasting it. We either eat it, store it, or compost scraps for the garden, and I am big on getting smaller portions for the plate but dishing up seconds or thirds or so and being able to finish rather than heaping stuff on the plate and then having to leave a third of it. I am getting to hate buffets for that reason - the waste on others' plates - regardless of what I think of the "quality" of the food.
at the waldorf schools, they sing before meals/table time, and so we used that verse: sunshine on the apple trees, thank you for the food we eat.
Zoebird - my cousins went to Waldorf schools (Loheland Stiftung, 36093 Kuenzell, Germany). I am assuming you have children who did/do attend? Sometime, I would like to know how you get around the concept of grains being the superior food thing from Steiner. I own books in German on this topic.
(Sorry for taking a bender off-topic... otherwise I have wonderful memories of their festivals, find the architecture breathtaking, and am still intrigued by many of Steiner's ideas.)
I'm a heathen. I don't pray.

New Atheists Are Not Islamophobes
An article by Nathan Lean is making the rounds on the internet and it seems like everybody is jumping on the atheist-bashing bandwagon. Lean recently wrote an article for Salon – the title: Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens: New Atheists flirt with Islamophobia. Many anti-Islamophobia crusaders quickly shared it with comments like "Dawkins' idiot brigade". To be fair, many liberals, atheists and Christians shared it too. But Lean's article is currently a hot favourite in circles that dislike atheists in general because of their atheist views.
If you've read Lean's article, you probably already know who he is. But if you haven't, let me fill you in. Nathan Lean is the editor-in-chief of the non-profit organisation Aslan Media, an aggressive pro-Islamic, self-proclaimed opponent of Israel of which some members – including Lean himself – hold a reputation for making anti-Israel comments on Twitter. Aslan Media is supposedly an anti-Islamophobia crusader, taking cheap shots at Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller in the past, and been called out by Jihad Watch on more than one occasion. It is also 'supported' by Loonwatch, a group of anonymous people who smear almost every critic of Islam while also outing anti-Muslim bigots. Lean is also the author of the book The Islamophobia Industry, which received acritical review by Jonathan Schanzer for the Wall Street Journal, and elicited a petulant and defensive response piece viciously attacking Schanzer by Loonwatch. As well as writing books, Lean also endorses cyber terrorism:
A criticism of 'new atheism' is that this type of non-believer is the 'mean' and 'in-your-face'. Lean puts new atheists like Harris, Dawkins and Hitchens in the ranks of Pamela Geller and anti-Muslim bigots, calling new atheists 'the new Islamophobes'. This is a little disturbing and so over the top that it sounds almost absurd. Anyone who has read the works of 'new atheists' such as Dawkins and Harris knows that their 'invectives' are directed against Islam as a religion, and not Muslims. If Lean should be criticising anyone, it should be those who engage in destructive acts of terror, those who make the lives of people hell on earth by giving fatwas, those Muslims who kill Muslims and then go on to whine about Islamophobia.
Besides, as a response article on Harry's Place points out, Lean was either not aware of or completely ignored the fact that Dawkins by no means constrains himself to criticising Islam:
I compared the speaking style of a self-promoting rabbi to Hitlerian shrieks. Made it clear there was NO other similarity. But oh, the fuss!
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) March 25, 2013
Islam doesn't have monopoly on sexual apartheid. bit.ly/GPXjJb El Al sometimes connives at orthodox Jews' seat segregation efforts
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) March 30, 2013
Lean further asserts that new atheists are no better than Pamela Geller and her disciples because to him the criticism coming from new atheists at Islam is the "uneducated ramblings of backwoods racists rather than appraisals based on intellect, rationality and reason". Anyone who is familiar with the writings of Dawkins and Harris who has watched these men debate theist scholars knows that their arguments are based on rational thought and intellect. And while I don't approve of the Spencer/Geller bigoted rhetoric because I think they are not being helpful in any way, it would be hypocritical of me to deny them freedom of speech or threaten to release their personal information just because I don't approve of their message – something Lean fails to understand.
Lean also conveniently ignores Islam's track record itself. What is most amusing is that while he and his types consider any criticism of Islam to equal Islamophobia, they conveniently ignore the acts of Islamofascists; as Jonathan Schanzer writes in his review of The Islamophobia Industry:
The author fails to grapple with the fact that, unlike average Muslims, Islamist terror groups like al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah do commit unspeakable acts of violence in the name of Islam—actions that surely help account for why many Americans (49%, according to a 2010 poll) hold an unfavourable view of Islam, even when they view favourably Muslims that they personally know.
He also seems to be unaware of Muslims who oppose women's rights and gay rights or all the oppressive laws that Muslim majority countries practice.
Say, is Christianity better than Islam? No. For years the followers of Christ ruled Europe, a time that is recorded in the history books as the Dark Ages. What happened? Things changed, not because Christianity improved, but because its power and influence significantly decreased. If Muslims living in Muslim-majority countries want their respective countries to become progressive and secular, their religion will have to become less powerful and influential. This can happen through debate, open criticism and conversations.
But many of us who criticise Islam for its oppressive laws are very well familiar with the label of Islamophobe. It can be safely assumed that all the critics of Islam have been labelled 'Islamophobe' at some point, amusingly many a time by the same Muslims who don't feel shy making anti-Ahmadi and anti-Shia comments. Islamophobia means prejudice against Muslims because of fear. I find Islam as a religion an oppressive, backward, distasteful, misogynistic and dividing religion. But does that mean I am an Islamophobe? No, I have never held any prejudices against Muslims. I have many Muslim friends who have stood beside me when fighting for freedom of speech and freedom of conscience and some of them would agree that Islam needs some reforms, and none of them think of me as an Islamophobe.
The Amazon ranking for Lean's book is #106,786 (Sept. 2012), whereas the Amazon rankings of the books written by the New Atheists he has been criticising are:
The God Delusion (Dawkins): #720
The End of Faith (Harris): #2802
God is not Great (Hitchens): #1652
Of course, these books are older than Lean's book but perhaps Lean's criticism of the New Atheists stems from jealousy? New atheists have been a media success. Their books sell, their debates are instant hits on YouTube. What many critics of new atheism fail to grasp is that new atheists are no different than regular atheists. The only difference is that new atheists are atheists "with attitude". They're brainy and brash. Their cogitations on the creation of the universe have indeed piqued the interest of many believers. New atheists like Dawkins and Harris are popular in the media because they are popular among the people.
Lean's criticism of Dawkins' tweet can be argued by asking, how many of us who criticize neo-Nazis have actually read Mein Kampf? If Lean was judging Dawkins' intellect in 140 characters, he should also know that many of us can judge his by many of his tweets too. And while it may be unhelpful to describe Islam as evil and Dawkins would have gained more agreement if he had made his point in a better way, it can also be counter-argued that a religion can only be defined, particularly if you're an atheist, by the way it is practiced.
Lean also criticises Dawkins for praising far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders who made the film Fitna, but Lean failed to see that Dawkins' praise was directed at Wilders' bold step even when he knew his life could be threatened. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to make Fitna, no matter how amateurish you think the film was. What's more, it's interesting that Lean didn't say anything about the 'force' behind the killing of Theo van Goghor the recent attack on Lars Hedegaard.
What Nathan Lean and his supporters don't realise is that if religious scriptures play the role of a weapon, the person pulling the trigger is in fact a follower of those scriptures who believes he or she possesses the absolute truth. Hence, the opposition to women's rights and gay rights, witch-burning, prostitute-stoning and suicide bombings. Decrying the harms of religion is not a "digression" but the very reason people oppose the follies of faith.
In the end, as Ricky Gervais once said, "Some of you Twonks don't like it when I reply to haters. Some of you do. Like you, I'm torn. Ignoring is fun. But so is defending yourself."

St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced today that forward Jori Lehtera has signed an Entry Level Contract with the Blues. Lehtera (LEH-ter-uh) was the Blues 3rd round pick (65thoverall) in the 2008 National Hockey Draft Entry Draft.
"Jori had an excellent year this past season as he led the entire Finish League in points," said Davidson. "Our scouts are very high on him and expect him to be a solid NHL player in the future."
Lehtera, 22, led the Finish National League in points this past season with 69 points (19 goals, 50 assists) in 57 games and has recorded 158 points (41 goals 117 assists) in 169 games over the past season three seasons for Tappara Tampere in the Finish League.
At the conclusion of his Finish schedule in 2009, Lehtera joined the Peoria Rivermen and made his North American debut on March 21, 2009. He registered an assist in seven regular season games and then collected a goal and an assist in seven playoff games.

Having looked somewhat dead and buried only a few weeks ago Aston Villa have given themselves a fighting chance of survival after picking up nine points from a possible 18 on offer.
They now sit in 16th spot two points clear of the drop zone as they prepare to welcome Fulham to Villa Park this weekend and they will be keen to find their fourth win in six all going well.
Once again Christian Benteke has been at the forefront of the Vilains good play the despite speculation over his future at the club the young striker has shown no signs of discontent as he continues to find the back of the net.
Benteke has now netted in his last four games on the trot and there is no doubting that without him Villa would be in a far worse position at this point in the season than they already find themselves in.
As we said Fulham make the trip to the midlands this weekend having lost out 1-0 to Newcastle at James Park last weekend thanks to a last minute Cisse goal and despite the fact that that was there only defeat in their last six they will have a tough task ahead of them against Paul Lambert's side.
Fulham's away form has been well documented over recent year and although it has not been as bad this season as in previous years they still lack that cutting edge on the road and their defence seems to struggle too.
The Cottagers have conceded 28 goals on their travels this season and with Benteke in such good form, not to mention the greater need for Villa to find points it looks like we may be about to see him notch up his fifth goal in five games this weekend making him a worth while consideration for your fantasy team.

Perilla oil
Perilla oil is obtained from the seeds of herbs of the genus Perilla, usually from the species Perilla frutescens. The seeds contain 35 to 45 percent oil which is obtained by pressing. Perilla oil is used along with synthetic resins in the production of varnishes. Perilla oil dries faster than linseed oil and on drying forms a film that is harder and yellows more than that formed by linseed oil. The paint and varnish industry accounts for the largest usage. Perilla oil also is important in the manufacture of printing inks and linoleum, and in more ancient times was a critical component in creating durable earthen floors.
In parts of Asia, perilla oil is used as an edible oil that is valued more for its medicinal benefit than its flavor. Perilla oil is a very rich source of the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). About 50 to 60% of the oil consists of ALA.
In Korea, perilla is mainly cultivated in Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, and Jeolla Province, so the locals there often consume perilla oil. In Korean cuisine, it is used for marinating namul (seasoned vegetable dish), coating grilled gim (Korean laver), or pan-frying jeon (pancake-like dish),[1] where it is called deul gireum (들기름) or beopyu (법유, 法油) in Korean.[2] In North Korea, it is called deulkkae gireum (들깨기름).[3]photo

Difference In Baby Clothing Fashion
September 13, 2012 @ 3:51 pm
I went to the mall in Joplin, MO while walking around i found a shop that had baby clothing in the window. We found the baby clothing that would look good on our great great granddaughter.
My wife and I were truck drivers a cross unit states and seen clothing from New York to California. So we have seen the diffidence in baby clothing from sea to shinny sea. Seeing the different styles and baby clothing fashions and being able to make a choice between them is the most difficult part in making sure you choose the best baby clothing for your loved ones.

The recent Fugitive Safe Surrender program held at the Lisbon Nazarene Church had minimal success - only 24 fugitives turned themselves in - but it is still a worthwhile program, with a few changes.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's office coordinated with county and state officials to turn the Nazarene Church into a makeshift court.
The purpose of the program is to provide neutral locations such as churches where alleged offenders can turn themselves in rather than risk a confrontation with police officers trying to arrest them.
Officials had hoped a significant number of people would take advantage of the program, thereby reducing the backlog of outstanding arrest warrants. In exchange, participants could avoid going to jail, depending on the warrant, and receive help in addressing issues that may have resulted in the arrest warrant being issued, such as failing to pay court costs and child support or getting their driver's license reinstated.
County Municipal Court Judge Carol Robb, who participated in the program, reportedly came away so impressed that she said the judges may consider holding similar events to address the backlog of warrants out of their court. Good idea. If it wouldn't prove to be too costly, the muni courts could take over the program and perhaps hold it on a more regular basis.
Also, the event needed more advance publicity. In addition to news stories, advertisements could be purchased and posters could be distributed alerting fugitives to the dates of future surrenders.

By themselves, offensive linemen obviously are obviously not draftable for a fantasy team.
But they could very well be the most influential players in football when it comes to deciding who you should draft.
After only three weeks, the 2011 NFL season has proven that.
A team's offensive line is something you should definitely pay attention to when picking up players. Everyone who has Michael Vick as a starting quarterback is extremely frustrated at the Philadelphia Eagles' o-line for not protecting their QB. The teams' offensive linemen can't take all the blame for the concussion and bruised hand he suffered in back-to-back weeks, but they should definitely shoulder a majority of it.
Vick is just one example of an elite fantasy player whose numbers could suffer because he plays with a suspect offensive line. The men in the trenches are extremely crucial to every part of a team's offense, which makes them very important for your fantasy team.
When considering which players to pick up from the waiver list, think about their offensive lines. If the team has a strong line, it will probably boost the chances for a quarterback or running back to play well. By giving the quarterback more time to throw, the o-line could also give wide receivers a chance to run intricate routes and get open.
Teams like the New York Giants, Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots all have dependable offensive lines, and it's a good idea to take a look at players on those teams when you're adding someone from waivers. Look for players like Raiders running back Michael Bush, a big, bruising runner who excels in short-yardage situations and runs behind a solid line. Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz probably got picked up by fantasy owners all over the nation after his performance last week, and Torrey Smith of the Ravens, who also have a good o-line, was no doubt a popular pick-up. Both are examples of players who got opportunities to produce because their quarterbacks are usually not pressured.
The offensive line will probably mean the most to you during next year's draft. At that time, consider a quarterback like Eli Manning or Joe Flacco over someone like Vick, who obviously has the potential to put up huge fantasy numbers but could also be sidelined because of injuries.
For now, you should keep this in mind as you make mid-season pick-ups. You never know which no-name running back or wide receiver could suddenly emerge as a starter because he benefits from a great offensive line.
By Zack Cimini
September is just about in the books. Lets look at week four's automatic starts and players to not even think of putting in your fantasy lineups.
Start: Donovan McNabb
Minnesota isn't loaded at wide receiver, but the team is improving by the week. Their tough schedule early on will now become much easier. It isn't like they haven't been in their games. They've just not been able to play four complete quarters. The key to success is the way the Vikings have been the past few weeks. Armed and ready to hand the ball to AP. There are going to be some weeks that AP elevates McNabb's passing stats, and this week will be one of them.
Sit: Matt Hasselbeck
The woes are well known for the Titans. Their offense was efficient by being heavily dependant on the pass over the run. Chris Johnson has not been able to get in gear, and sooner or later that's going to cause Hassle beck a horrible game. That game may be this week. Without his Pro Bowl caliber receiver Kenny Britt, the Titans receivers now become one of the worst in the league. Nothing new to Hasselbeck as he comes from Seattle.
Start: Ryan Fitzpatrick
The quarterback that was recruited by just Eastern Washington and Harvard, and honorable mention for All-State his senior year in high school, is now becoming a big time NFL quarterback. He has turned around a franchise, and has this team believing. The Bills somehow keep getting down in games and fighting back relentlessly. However they get the wins, Fitzpatrick is piling up impressive fantasy stats.
Start: LT
It looks like an unfavorable match up, but the Ravens have not been as stellar at giving up yards. They step up defensively in spots, but they do not play an entire four quarters of great football. Shonne Greene should be held in check, but look for LT to get some big plays out of the backfield. A good flex option this week.
Sit: Joey Addai
Addai ran tough and had one of his better games in awhile against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of carries was a season high, to go along with nearly ninety yards and a touchdown. I don't look for that to become a trend. The Colts managed the game effectively and limited the Steelers opportunities offensively. With the status of their quarterback situation still woeful, maintaining an effective rushing attack with someone as inconsistent as Addai will be hard to do.
Start: Daniel Thomas
The Dolphins are 0-3 with a couple of winnable games left on the playing field. One bright spot has been rookie Daniel Thomas. Thomas is excelling on a weekly basis, and granting the heavier work amount over newcomer Reggie Bush. Thomas should garner another effective fantasy outing with points in the range of ten to fourteen. For the ADP of Thomas, you're getting way more value than you bargained for.
Sit: Frank Gore
We've seen the pattern far too often. A reliant running back, you expect to continually produce year after year. Age use to be the determining factor, but nowadays talent level declines out of nowhere. Gore's time may be now. He has staved off injuries throughout his career to remain effective, but this year he just hasn't had it. He looks slower, and just not himself. The heavy workloads of the prior years seem to have slowed him down a tad.
Start: Santana Moss
Moss seems to be Grossman's main go to guy, as has been the case throughout Moss's career with several different quarterbacks. He still has the speed to beat defenders deep, but has become more effective with simple crossing patterns the last few years. St. Louis has been ripped apart by the Giants, Ravens, and Eagles on big pass plays. Look for Moss to have one of his patented stat filler games.
Sit: Mike Thomas
Thomas finally had some fantasy relevancy in week three. Catching a touchdown to go with over fifty yards receiving. The touchdown came on an unorthodox type of play. Yet even though Thomas is the Jaguars main target at receiver, his stats at the end of the year will likely look like a third receivers. Give Gabbert a few months to develop and take his lumps. In the mean time do not even think of putting Thomas in your lineup. At the end of the year he should have stronger value.
By Zack Cimini
San Diego has managed to pull off some close wins to start the season, but it hasn't been for the play of Philip Rivers. The team has played just well enough as a whole, or they could easily be 0-3. The 2-1 start looks good on paper, but if proper adjustments do not happen this team could slide. Typical to their poor starts, it might be a reverse finish when they usually start to win.
Rivers just has not found that classic rhythm of his. There could be a few variables to blame for it, but Rivers is supposed to be a top tier quarterback. Four touchdowns and six interceptions would rank him near the bottom of the league. He is forcing too many throws. Throws that he has been able to thread throughout his career just aren't getting there.
With the Chargers running the ball more effectively, maybe they'll tone down his throws a tad. Antonio Gates is still hurting, and maybe the lack of a steady receiver over the middle is hurting Rivers. Malcolm Floyd and Vincent Jackson both do most of their damage down the field, using their tall frames to shield, leap, and out jump cornerbacks.
Patrick Crayton just isn't the receiver he use to be and is clearer declining. The loss of Legedu Naanee seems to be hurting the Chargers more than anticipated. This early funk will not phase Rivers. For fantasy owners that see rookie quarterbacks and Ryan Fitzpatrick posting better numbers, should not over panic for a trade. Likely you were able to get one of those quarterbacks to either backup Rivers via the waiver wire or through the draft.
Give Rivers another couple of games to prove his value. His career speaks for itself. Patterns of having history with turnovers has never been a prevalent issue. He'll hone it down and reemerge as one of the better fantasy quarterbacks. Finishing strong is second nature to him, but has that caught up to him?
By Zack Cimini
Hut, hut,…..errrrr, penalties on the field typically result in a do over from a further distance. For fantasy owners there are no retries from deciding on that wrong player. A false start in fantasy means a poor outing and lots of pouting and jabbing. "Man I would of destroyed you look at my bench". While you're crying a river over the fantasy points buried on your bench, the opposing team has a breakout performance from their third receiver that you never would have started.
It's not always how your team looks on paper. Drafting a perfect team is just not feasible. Often it's the owners that reassess their weaknesses and upgrade via trades, waiver wire, and contrarian starts. It's the law of averages with even the best athletes. It's a sixteen game season and their just isn't any position player that's going to be lights out every week.
Here are some players that are either undervalued or I believe are due for a let down.
Rob Gronkowski- Contrarian View- Sit
The meter of discussion on Gronkowski has hit an all time high. Brady has hit his tight ends with such frequency, that owners are salivating at what Gronkowski will do without Hernandez. The two on the field together were able to attack defenses similar to a basketball team with a dynamic backcourt. Without the other things might not go as smooth.
Antonio Gates- Contrarian View-Start (Ignore last week and injury report)
I've got a reverse feeling for Gates. Rumors are circulating that Gates is hampered again by the same foot that kept him out a few years ago. Gates is a tough son of a gun, that finds a way to break out when least expected. After being shut down last week, you can better believe Gates will be factored in frequently this week.
Tony Gonzalez- Contrarian View- Sit
Sometimes old veterans will come out the gate with a flurry of solid games. LT did so last year, and faded quicker than Luke McCown's starting job in Jacksonville. Last season he had seven games below thirty yards receiving. His success this year has largely been for the fact that Roddy White has been doubled, and Matt Ryan hasn't developed with first year starter Julio Jones. Calm down on believing that Gonzalez is going to reemerge suddenly. He is a touchdown tight end, that's it.
Brandon Pettigrew- Contrarian View- Start
Points, points, and more points have the Detroit scoreboard operator asking for a raise. After years of hardly working, he/she is probably having malfunctioning issues on getting the board to update so quickly. Owners have been disappointed in Pettigrew for his lackluster results, but it is way too early to think about removing him from starting consideration. Though Tony Scheffler has caught a few touchdowns with downfield routes, Pettigrew will get his shine sooner or later. With the rate that the Lions are scoring, Pettigrew will be a red zone factor anytime. Look for a decent game this weekend.
Shonn Greene- Contrarian View- Start
His first two games make you shake your head. He is the feature back for a team that is geared to make another deep postseason run. He has shown the skills every post season that he can be a dominant fantasy back. Yet the regular season has started off similar to the results of the past two. Unlike last year the Jets do not have fresh LT legs to rely on. Greene is their guy, and will have to bust out sooner or later. Fred Jackson had a field day last week vs. the Raiders, and is a similar back to Greene. Look for Greene to be a top five fantasy back this weekend.
Tony Romo- Contrarian View-Sit
The Redskins are Romo's weakness over his career against them. With the infatuation over his outing last week, you have to ignore that and look at the present details. Romo will likely start, but is obviously still not 100 percent. The Cowboys receivers are dinged up as well, and will have to rely heavily on non starting receivers. Pressure on Romo and improper timing with receivers he isn't use to, could be the cause and effect of a bad outing. Over his last four starts vs. the Redskins, Romo has averaged just 230 yards passing with a total of four touchdowns and four interceptions.
Cam Newton- Contrarian View-Sit
If you think of the pace of the first two games Newton played in, they were hectic freelance style games. Newton had the opportunities to throw for the yards he did, because both teams were dictating a pass over run game. Green Bay ran the football basically fifteen times, discounting Rodgers five scrambles. Arizona ran the ball about twenty times week one. That's just the opposing teams. Carolina has abandoned the run all together the first two games. Jacksonville is one of the top teams in the league at attempts rushing per game. I could envision a heavy dosage of carries for both Jones-Drew and Karim to try and protect first day starter Blaine Gabbert.
By Vidur Malik
As the NFL becomes more and more of a pass-first league, the wide receivers that catch most of those passes are becoming even more crucial to a team's success.
Smaller, quicker wideouts like Wes Welker and DeSean Jackson have risen to the elite level at the position, but no matter how the game evolves, height at the wide receiver spot will always be a valuable weapon.
Big receivers have always been sought after for what they can bring to a team. Receivers like Vincent Jackson, Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall have been atop the leader board for wide receivers for several years now, and their combination of height and tremendous athleticism is what keeps them there.
The most obvious advantage for tall receivers is that they tower over the defensive backs who must cover them. This makes them bigger targets for quarterbacks, giving the passer some room for error: if Philip Rivers is throwing to Jackson, he doesn't need to put the ball on them money every time because chances are Jackson can use his physical advantage to outmuscle a defender and come up with the ball.
If big receivers can combine their size with route-running ability, they can get open anytime and make up for any lack of speed they might have. Because their game is not based on speed, big receivers can stay productive for a long time. Plaxico Burress is the perfect example. Though he spent two years away from the game, he has picked up right where he left off so far. Even though he had to adjust to a new team during the lockout, Burress has still been able to catch four passes, including one for a touchdown, through two games with the New York Jets.
From a fantasy standpoint, big receivers are great pickups. As ideal red zone targets, they can get you touchdowns, and their size allows them to break tackles and gain extra yards after the catch, which will get you more points.
Johnson, Jackson and Marshall will already be on teams in your league, but there are other big receivers that you can probably still pick up. The San Diego Chargers' Malcolm Floyd might be available in your league, and you might want to consider Roy Williams of the Chicago Bears if he can get healthy soon after hurting his groin in week one.
Big receivers will always be crucial to a team's success through the air. Teams can get by without them, but when you're in the red zone and need a touchdown, chances are a tall, strong target will have a better shot at getting you six points than a small slot receiver. Let that natural advantage benefit your team, and consider picking up a tall target if you don't already have one.

Download and print the First-Time Transfer Checklist-Fall 2016 (.pdf).
This transfer student checklist will guide you through the necessary steps to enroll successfully at Cal State Northridge. It's an exciting time but it can be confusing. University policies and requirements may differ from those of your previous institution. This step-by-step advice should smooth your transition and help you avoid common pitfalls.
The required course work that you need to transfer to CSUN (minimum of 60 units, including the 4 basic subjects with minimum grades of C and 2.0 GPA) must be completed by the end of the Spring 2016 term. No Summer 2016 course work will be considered. Make sure Admissions and Records receives your final, official transcripts as soon as your spring grades are posted. If you will transfer course work from a California community college, CSUN may be able to request your final transcript electronically. Learn more at eTranscript California. For updates on the final, official transcript deadline for transfer students, visit www.csun.edu/admissions-records/admitted-transfer-student.
All admitted first-time transfer students must file their "Intent to Register" no later than 11:59 p.m. on July 1, 2016. (If admitted after June 17, file intent within 14 days of your admission date.)

Fall 2016 classes begin Monday, August 29, 2016. Saturday-only and Friday-Saturday classes begin August 27.
Review the University Catalog prior to meeting with an academic advisor. The Catalog describes every major, all courses CSUN offers, and provides vital information about academic policies and university regulations.
Make an appointment with your academic advisor. Students who seek advisement before registering are more likely to enroll in the courses they need and avoid errors that can cost time and money. Meeting with an academic advisor is the best strategy for a timely graduation.
Contact your major department to make an appointment with your academic advisor. In some of CSUN's eight academic colleges, transfer students are advised by the Student Services Center/EOP Satellite. Remember, University policies and deadlines will differ from those of your previous institution; your advisor will help with the transition.
Academic advisement is strongly encouraged for all transfer students; some majors require it. If your major requires advisement before registration, you will have an advisement hold. The hold will be cleared only when you meet with your advisor. To view registration holds, log into "myNorthridge" with your CSUN User ID and Password, locate My Checklist and review the Incomplete Tasks section.
Be on time for your advisement appointment. Purchase a one-day campus parking permit for $6.00. Partial-day parking permits are available for a small fee in lots F5, G3 and G4. Arrive on campus early to locate your major department. Download a campus map, including driving directions, or download the CSUN Mobile App to help you find your destination. While on campus, you may also want to visit Financial Aid and Scholarships, Housing, the Oviatt Library, or other campus resources that you can locate from the CSUN home page.
- Check out special General Education (GE) classes just for new transfers. Cal State Northridge offers special sections of select upper division GE classes that combine subject matter content with information about university resources, culture and requirements. The reserved classes are also a great place to make friends and get oriented to your new university. Enrollment is based on availability and you may view the offerings here.
Find out if you need a department exam. The Math Placement Test (MPT) and/or Chemistry Placement Test (CPT) may be required for students planning to major in Engineering, Computer Sciences, Sciences or Math.
Bring your unofficial transcripts for all courses taken at a community college or another four-year university to your advisement meeting. REMINDER: Send Admissions and Records your final, official transcripts as soon as your spring 2016 course grades are posted, but before the transcript deadline posted at www.csun.edu/admissions-records/apply-upper-division-transfer-student.
Use the audit component of Degree Progress Report (DPR) and Planner to check the placement of your transfer courses into CSUN major and degree requirement sections. Your advisor can assist you with learning how to use this and other degree planning tools. See the Degree Progress Report and Planner How to Guide and video to familiarize yourself with this tool in advance of your advising session.
If your transcripts have not yet been evaluated, your transfer courses will not yet display in DPR and Planner. You may visit www.assist.org to find California community college and CSUN course equivalents. Bring a list of these courses with you to your advising appointment.
Prepare questions and a tentative class schedule to review with your advisor. Review the Degree Road Map for your major at www.csun.edu/catalog/resources/road-map for the suggested sequence of classes. STAR Act (AA-T and AS-T) Transfer Degree Road Maps are also available at www.csun.edu/catalog/resources/star-act. Use Class Search and Registration Planner to look up the courses you want. Prepare a tentative schedule with alternate choices before your advising session.
For help navigating Class Search, Registration Planner, "myNorthridge" and the SOLAR Student Center, see the How To Guides. For registration dates, visit the Registration Calendar.
Register for classes. As a transfer student, you may register for classes independently beginning with the date provided in your Registration Access Mailer and in My Checklist if your holds are resolved. Registering on your set date will give you the best selection of classes and times. However, your access to the online registration system continues from your priority date through September 16, 2016. Students may wait list for closed classes beginning with Nonrestrictive Registration on Monday, July 11, 2016 through Monday, September 5, 2016. During the wait list period, no permission numbers are required to add classes (except restricted classes). Permission numbers are required to add classes during the second and third weeks of instruction, beginning Tuesday, September 6, 2016. The last day to add or drop classes online is Friday, September 16.
Pay your tuition and other fees on time. Payment is due when you register in classes, but no later than the deadlines published in the Fee Payment Schedule. Due dates vary by registration date. If you do not pay on time, you will be disenrolled from courses. Get details on tuition and fees, payment due dates, installment plans and more at University Cash Services. If you are a financial aid recipient, see the anticipated aid tutorial.
Note: It is the sole responsibility of the student to withdraw from classes. Failure to follow formal withdrawal procedures may result in an obligation to pay fees, the assignment of failing grades, and the need to reapply for admission to the University.

- Register for the Upper Division Writing Proficiency Exam (UDWPE) at the beginning of your first semester at CSUN. Undergraduate students are encouraged to take the UDWPE as early as possible, but must take the exam no later than the semester in which 75 units will be completed, including transfer course work. Transfer students entering the University who will have completed 75 units by the end of their first semester must attempt the exam during their first semester at CSUN. Students who have not attempted the UDWPE by the completion of 75 units will have a hold placed on their subsequent class registration. Some upper division major courses require a passing score on the UDWPE before you can enroll, so plan ahead and avoid enrollment delays. Information on the exam including registration details is located at www.csun.edu/udwpe.
Best wishes for your first semester at CSUN!

Menard's still a possibility
By MARGARET THOMPSON
June 25, 2013
BAZETTA — The old Walmart site on Elm Road may house a Menard's home improvement store — though whether it is as soon as was hoped for remains to be seen....
I hope "Menard's" is built on Elm Rd. It will save me time as I will no longer have to drive to the mall area.

2. Scarlett Johansson
Another star with a painful break-upâbut great hair! Scarlett has gone long and short, dark and light; and that's just this year alone. Over the summer, she debuted this shorter, choppy blond bob at Comic Con. By December, when her split from Ryan Reynolds was announced, it was trimmed even further to about chin length.
Kevin Mazur/WireImage
3. Carey Mulligan
The originator of the most recent cropping trend, Mulligan showed us how it's done. Not only did she rock the short, platinum blond style, she made it versatile. At Cannes Film Festival, she wore her hair three different ways: tousled, slicked back from her face and in sultry, sculpted finger waves. Most recently, she's showing us how to grow out a short cut gracefully, with a chin-length, tousled, ombre-colored style.
4. Emma Watson
She may not have been the originator, but when Harry Potter's Hermione Granger dramatically chopped her long, wavy locks into a super cute pixie cut after the last movie wrapped, her move made waves. And copycats.
5. Robert Pattinson
The chopping trend continued with this Tween heartthrob. When he ditched the scruff and debuted his newly cleaned up look on Ellen, Pattinson fans everywhere went nuts. It was only for a movie role though, and by late summer, he was rocking a full scruffy beard. Ah, back to normal.
Marcel Thomas/FilmMagic, Inc.
6. Kristen Stewart
His Twilight co-star (and rumored girlfriend) caused a similar stir when she lopped off her locks in 2009 for her role as Joan Jett. She did it again this summer, showing off a choppy, strawberry-blond style at the David Letterman Show. The look was again for a film, On the Road, and by fall, she was back to long and brunette.
7. Katy Perry
Katy has had quite the year in fashion. With the release of her highly successful Teenage Dream album, she's spent 2010 running around in a multitude of brightly colored confections. This extended to her hair at several award shows and during one music video. Her bright blue wig became her stylish calling card this yearâeven getting green slime dumped on it at the the Nickelodeon Awards.
8. Lady Gaga
Gaga's has made waves for many of her styles this year. Does the meat dress ring a bell? But when it comes to hair, her long silvery strands on the cover of Vanity Fair's August issue were a defining moment. It was a trend that started in January, when Kate Moss debuted some temporary gray strands; the young and stylish quickly followed suit, proving that gray doesn't equal old age.

9. Taylor Swift
Taylor's usually a pretty reliable curly girl with an innocent vibe, but at the American Music Awards at the end of November, she was tops with sleek, straightened blond hair, plus a heavy fringe that offset her smoky eye make-up. It was a sultry, grown-up style that was prefect for the just-turned-21-year-old.
10. Willow Smith
What list is complete without the "Whip My Hair" phenom? The nine-year-old daughter of Hollywood stars Will and Jada Smith caused a sensation with the release of her single and music video. Embracing natural texture and braids, she models several different styles during the video, even using her hair as a most modern paintbrush. It's painful when a nine-year-old is way cooler than I'll ever be...
What do you think about celebrity hair in 2010? Do you agree with the choices? Who's style did we miss? Comment below!

U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is heading to the New Hampshire-Canada border to check out a sign she helped ensure gives proper credit to the Granite State.
When the U.S. Customs and Border Protection opened a new $7.4 million border station several years ago, it wanted to call it the "Beecher Falls Port of Entry via Pittsburg, New Hampshire."
Shaheen, Sen. Kelly Ayotte and then-U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass wrote to customs officials saying that the nearby Vermont town of Beecher Falls shouldn't get top billing. Customs officials then decided to have the crossing officially designated as the "Pittsburg Border Station."
Shaheen will tour the station and view the sign on Saturday morning.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
"You are what you measure." So said Citigroup (NYSE: C ) Michael Corbat to a group of Citi executives at a meeting last month in an attempt to succinctly explain how bank executives and their performance would be judged moving forward.
It's not exactly the most inspiring call to arms I've ever heard, but it's probably the right direction to steer the bank in nonetheless.
Wake me when its over
Corbat intends to introduce a system of score cards for his top executives that will track how well they perform against their stated financial plans. The score cards will reportedly rate them across five categories, with grades ranging from minus-40% to 100%.
In an upcoming meeting, Corbat is also expected to introduce metrics "that will allow analysts and investors to more-easily gauge the company's performance." Yawn.
Move over, Patton
Most of us like our leaders to be dashing. To make big statements. To entertain and even sometimes shock us.
Whether it's General George S. Patton mouthing off to his superiors as he smashes through German lines, or JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) CEO Jamie Dimon mouthing off to reporters as he smashes quarterly earnings records, it's hard not to be drawn in by big personalities doing big things.
As such, Corbat's announcement that he's going to begin trying to get a handle on his bank -- which he's only been CEO of for four months -- by measuring everyone and everything in sight is, frankly, disappointing. But this is only at first blush. After the numbing effect of "you are what you measure" begins to wear off, I think it's clear that this is exactly what Citi needs.
Post financial crisis, only Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) is in worse shape than Citi out of the big banks. Both went way off course in the housing boom years and have paid a heavy price in bottom-line-robbing penalties and payouts, and both need discipline right now more than anything else.
Jamie Dimon -- while charming, loud-mouthed, and dashing -- still instills discipline at JPMorgan, Brian Moynihan is on the case at B of A, and now Corbat is trying the same at Citi. Corbat seems every inch the measured, traditional banker: calm and cautious. It's not much fun to watch, but investors should probably be thankful.
Citigroup's stock looks tantalizingly cheap. Yet the bank's balance sheet is still in need of more repair, and there's a considerable amount of uncertainty after a shocking management shakeup. Should investors be treading carefully, or jumping on an opportunity to buy? To help figure out whether Citigroup deserves a spot on your watchlist, I invite you to read our premium research report on the bank today. We'll fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Citigroup, and what areas that Citigroup investors need to watch going forward. Click here now for instant access to our best expert's take on Citigroup.

Elkins City Council voted to table any discussion on a proposed landfill surcharge during Monday's meeting.
"We are redoing the numbers, and we believe that the numbers can be lowered," Sanitation/Landfill Committee Chairman Carman Metheny said at the outset of the meeting. "It will be on the agenda for the next council meeting."
The Sanitation/Landfill Committee voted June 10 to recommend that City Council approve a plan that would charge both residential and commercial customers each month to help pay off the Elkins-Randolph County Landfill's debts and operating costs.
The plan would cost each residential customer $5.69 per month, and each commercial customer $28.49 per month, to raise funds to cover the landfill's $333,700 in annual operating costs. The landfill has been closed since September 2011.
In addition, each residential customer would be charged $4.64 per month, and each commercial customer $22.39 per month, to help pay off the landfill's $262,274 in outstanding debt. At that rate, the debt should be paid off within two years, at which time the customer charges will be reconsidered, officials said.
These new charges, totaling $10.34 per residential customer and $50.88 per commercial customer, would be billed monthly as "landfill obligation" charges, officials said.
Added to the current sanitation rates, residential customers would pay a total of $29.87 in sanitation and landfill obligation charges each month, while commercial customers would pay $82.44 each month.
Also during Monday's meeting:
- Council voted to accept the retirement of Rodney Nutter, who has been the city's Street Department supervisor for about 30 years, officials said.
"He's done great service for this city," Mayor Van Broughton said.
"We're really going to miss him," Operations Manager Bob Pingley said.
Nutter was not present at Monday's meeting. In a letter, he thanked city officials and noted that, after 37 years of employment, he would now "take time to enjoy my family."
- City Council went into executive session for about 30 minutes on the agenda item listed as "limited video lottery permit." After coming out of the executive session, Broughton said no action was taken.
Asked about the agenda item after the meeting, Broughton said he could not make any further information public.

Mississippi is one of only eight states that haven't passed eminent domain reform legislation that would prevent the taking of private property for commercial development.
David Waide and the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation want to reduce that number by one, and a statewide petition drive is now under way to get the issue on a general election ballot.
