Summa Health System will host its 13th annual Men Who Cook fundraising event that showcases the talent of local amateur chefs – everyone from Summa physicians to business leaders to policemen to athletic coaches and more. The chefs will be cooking up some of their best dishes for event attendees and for an esteemed panel of female judges at the Hollywood-themed event, who are all prominent members of the greater Akron community.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call (800) 237-8662. Visit www.summahealth.org/menwhocook for a list of participating chefs and judges. Tickets are $60 per person, which includes admission, one ballot to vote for the People's Choice Award, one raffle ticket and access to the event recipe book. The $150 Patron Level includes admission, two ballots for the People's Choice Award, one raffle ticket, access to the recipe book, and listing as a Patron Level sponsor.
Men Who Cook will benefit Summa Health System's Summa Screens program, which provides free cancer screenings, including mammograms and prostate cancer education, for uninsured and underinsured individuals in the community.
Mammograms detect 80-90 percent of breast cancers in women with no symptoms but unfortunately, not everyone can afford an annual screening mammography. Approximately 226,870 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 but if detected early, there is up to a 93 percent five-year survival rate. The American Cancer Society recommends women be screened for breast cancer beginning at age 40.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States after lung cancer. Approximately 241,740 men were affected by prostate cancer in 2012, resulting in 28,170 deaths. The American Urologic Association supports the PSA test which provides important information on the diagnosis, risk assessment and monitoring of prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that men discuss whether to be screened for prostate cancer with their healthcare provider.

The battle for the Willie Mays Award, given by the Baseball Bloggers Alliance
Feliz posted a 2.73 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP while tallying 40 saves and helping Texas into the postseason for the first time since 1999. Feliz only blew three save opportunities while fashioning a 3.94 strikeout to walk ratio.
Feliz garnered eighteen first-place votes and 102 points overall, finishing 22 points ahead of Jackson, who received six nods at the top of the ballot.
Posey did not begin the season in the major leagues, but did so much with his time in San Francisco that voters selected him as the National League's top rookie. Posey hit .305 and slugged .505 in just 108 games, tallying 18 home runs and 67 RBI after his callup at the end of May. Posey's offense helped San Francisco make up ground and eventually pass San Diego for the divisional crown.
Posey received 103 total points, including fifteen first-place selections, to outpace Heyward by 17 points. Heyward received ten first-place votes for his work in helping Atlanta secure the National League Wild Card.
The complete voting results are as follows (first place votes in parenthesis):
American League
Danny Valencia, Minnesota 16
Brian Matusz, Baltimore (1) 12
Brennan Boesch, Detroit 11
Wade Davis, Tampa Bay 3
John Jaso, Tampa Bay 3

Neil Walker, Pittsburgh 2
The Baseball Bloggers Alliance was formed in the fall of 2009 to encourage cooperation and collaboration between baseball bloggers of all major league teams as well as those that follow baseball more generally. As of this writing, the organization consists of 233blogs spanning all 30 major league squads as well as general baseball writing.
The BBA is organized under a similar structure as the Baseball Writers of America, where blogs that follow the same team are combined into "chapters" and only two votes from the chapter on an award are counted. The blog chapters that are focused on general baseball were allowed two votes as well, which they could use both on the same league or split between the two leagues.
Chapters generally followed one of two methods when casting their ballot. Either representatives of the chapter were given the ballots for voting or a "group ballot" was posted, accounting for both of their votes.
Ballots are posted on the respective blogs and tabulated on a 5-3-1 point scale for first, second and third. In the interest of transparency, links are given below for the ballots. Chapter affiliation is in parenthesis. Those chapters that decided on the group method are noted with an asterisk.

In the United States, sprawl, simply known as unplanned suburban development, is consuming land at a rate greater than the population increase. Sprawl continues for several reasons, many of which are uninvestigated. This book evaluates the process of zoning variances and zoning boards: the composition of the zoning board, the board's decision-making, and the result of their decision- making on the environment. The process is compared to Molotch's Growth Machine theory which states that localities are in economic competition with other localities, therefore entities and individuals that support those entities will work towards the economic growth of their area as it benefits themselves in return. As a result of the Growth Machine process, regulations are hardly enforced, specifically when zoning becomes too burdensome on the real estate market, zoning is changed and/or variances given. This work represents an evaluation of the zoning board dynamics and decision-making, the environmental effects of zoning variances, and how zoning variances and boards play an important role in the contribution to sprawling development.

Now that County Judge Ted Wood has outlasted his enemies on the Randall County Commissioners Court, he's ready to look elsewhere for a challenge.
Wood recently said he does not intend to seek a third term as county judge in 2002.
"I think it's time to give somebody else a chance to do this job," Wood said. "Any one of the commissioners we have right now would be a good county judge. I just don't think people should stay in one position forever and make a career of it."
Wood said he plans to run for another office, but he declined to say which one.
"I can't get into the specifics because of the 'resign-to-run' rules," Wood said. "If you announce your candidacy for another job when you have more than a year remaining on your current job, you automatically have resigned."
Pattilou Dawkins, who lost to Wood in the 1998 Republican primary, said last month that she would not run for county judge again. Last year's election proved that she can't beat Wood, she said.
"He's a formidable opponent," she said. "He comes across better on TV and in interviews. He has those ingratiating, boyish good looks, that hair that drops down on his forehead. Every mother thinks, 'Isn't he handsome?'
"I don't think I can beat him. I think if ever I had a chance to beat him, it was the first time."
Upon learning last week that Wood does not intend to run again, Dawkins said the news probably wouldn't change her mind.
"I'd have to give it a lot of deep thought before I would ever commit myself to that much time," Dawkins said. "It will be interesting to see who will run. I'd never say never, but at this point I doubt that I would run."

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction
For Immediate Release: January 22, 1999Ohio Department Of Rehabilitation and Correction Completely Accredited
(Columbus)--- The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) has become one of two corrections agencies nationwide to achieve complete accreditation through the American Correctional Association (ACA). At the ACA winter conference held this week in Nashville, Tennessee, the remaining six out of 30 prisons and Ohio Penal Industries received their awards of accreditation. Ohio and Louisiana are the only states to achieve complete accreditation in their correctional departments.
"Accreditation means many things. It means an institution/department is operating at peak performance, with policies and procedures in place," stated DRC Director Reginald A. Wilkinson. "We are responsible to the public for the tax dollars we spend and the work we do. This helps demonstrate that we are operating a safe, secure, humane department while being prudent with state funds."
The accreditation initiative is a professional peer review process based upon rigorous national standards. The accreditation award is for a period of three years. During that three-year period, the institution or department must maintain consistency in compliance with applicable mandatory and non-mandatory standards.
The Department now has 30 prisons; Ohio Penal Industries, two boot camps, Central Office, the Ohio Parole Board, Adult Parole Authority Field Services and the Corrections Training Academy all accredited.
For further information please contact the DRC Public Information Office at (614) 752-1150.

Mark W. Bartusch, Associate Professor of Theology
College of Arts and Sciences - Room 312
Professional Activity
I began teaching in the Theology Department in 2000. I am an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and served as a parish pastor for four years in Portage, WI.
My area of scholarly work and teaching is TaNaKh, what Christians refer to as the Old Testament. I have a special interest in creation stories in and beyond the Bible, the prophets of ancient Israel, Israel's wisdom literature, and in classical Hebrew poetry. I am also keenly aware of and attentive to the significance of the various contexts (social, religious, political, literary) not only in which the Bible was written and transmitted, but also in which we read and seek to understand the Bible today. As a result, I include the study of extra-biblical texts from the ancient Near East and the use of models of interpretation from the social sciences in my work and teaching.
My dissertation, Understanding Dan: An Exegetical Approach to Dan in the Biblical Traditions, was published in 2003 by Sheffield Academic Press. My most recent article, "From Honor Challenge to False Prophecy: Rereading Jeremiah 28's Story of Prophetic Conflict in Light of Social-Science Models," appears in Currents in Theology and Mission. I have written book reviews for Biblical Theology Bulletin and Currents in Theology and Mission. I have also been a presenter at the Lutheran Summer Assembly in Lakeside, OH, and written confirmation materials for Augsburg Fortress Publishers.
Community Service
Outside the classroom and office, I am involved in the Valpo Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America. I participate in the worship life of a local congregation and the Chapel of the Resurrection, and serve on the admissions committee of the Lutheran Deaconess Association.
Personal Interests
I enjoy taking in a concert or dramatic performance on campus; walking, biking and hiking with my family; woodworking; and starting various projects around the house.

Oregon Wine
Dobbes Family Winery
Joe Dobbes Stretches His Entrepreneurial Muscles
by Cole Danehower
Oregon Wine Report
On a cold winter morning, winemaker Joe Dobbes purposefully tramps around the muddy worksite of a new winery construction site, attentive to every detail, authoritatively asking questions of the construction manager. For a moment he stops and looks out over the incomplete concrete walls at the acres of naked vines planted neatly across rolling hills. He smiles. He is seeing a big part of his future.
What does a winemaker do after he's successfully spearheaded the quality turnaround of one of Oregon's largest wineries (Willamette Valley Vineyards), brought to market one of Southern Oregon's leading brands (Griffin Creek), and reinforced the reputation of one of the state's leading Pinot noir labels (Torii Mor)? If you are Joe Dobbes, you give it all up . . . so you can do it all again, but this time for yourself!
"It's all a little nail-biting," confesses Joe, "but what is so exciting about what I am doing now is that I have the chance to let the creative, entrepreneurial spirit inside me out-to work for myself-which has been a goal of mine as long as I've been in the business."
The new winery-which Joe will exclusively lease for the production of his, and the winery owner's, wines-represents the culmination of a long-held vision Joe has had for himself. Affectionately nicknamed "Hollywood Joe"-as much for his leading-man looks as for his charismatic self-assurance-Dobbes is putting his enviable winemaking track record on the line by going-it-alone with his own wine production and consulting company, Wines By Joe LLC.
And in the traditional Dobbes fashion, he is doing nothing in half measures. Since leaving Willamette Valley Vineyards in the summer of 2002, Joe has started a daunting number of new activities that are keeping him deeply involved in Oregon winemaking, from the Eola Hills in the north to the Rogue Valley in the south.
The Fun of Making His own Wine . . .
One of Joe's key activities is the launching of his own label: Dobbes Family Estate. "This last harvest we made about 2200 cases of Dobbes Family Estate wines," he says. "I didn't have somebody else's staff to tell what to do, I had to do it myself, and it was really great getting my hands dirty again. Even standing in the middle of the press soaking wet at 1:00 in the morning with a power washer was fun!"
Capitalizing on a long-held passion for Syrah and Viognier, Joe has sourced grapes for his new label from southern Oregon and is planning to release a number of different inaugural bottlings of Dobbes Family Estate wines. Five single-vineyard Syrahs, a grand assemblage Syrah, two Pinot noir cuvees named after his children (Amelia Rose and Griffin), and a headily fragrant Viognier are all in the works.
"It really is the culmination of a personal vision," explains Joe, "to be able to make my own wine in association with my family. It's really hard work, but it is really gratifying as well!"
In addition, Joe is a partner in another new label called Villa San Maurice, based in Napa County, California. From the 2001 harvest, Villa San Maurice has released a Joe-produced Pinot grigio using exclusively Oregon fruit. While the label at first appeals to those consumers intrigued by the Italian aura of Pinot grigio, Joe is confidant that what they'll discover upon pouring is a wine of more substance and character-thanks to the Oregon fruit.
. . . And The Satisfaction of Helping Others Make Theirs
Joe is equally busy applying his expertise to help other producers make wine for their labels. For the 2002 harvest, Joe returned to the famed Torii Mor label as consulting winemaker, continuing a role he has played in recent vintages. "Making these wines is really satisfying," he says. "I'm very comfortable at Torii Mor because I know the people and I get to work with great fruit at one of the great Pinot noir labels in the Willamette Valley."
Similarly, Joe is keeping his involvement in Southern Oregon. He consults with winemaker Jason Jardine for the Eden Vale label in Medford, and he is Managing Director of Paschal Winery in Talent, just outside of Ashland. These commitments bring him down to Southern Oregon every few weeks for a few days at a time. But Joe doesn't mind the travel: "I love it down there," he says.
Not content to simply rest on the laurels Paschal has earned since it opened a few years ago Joe, in association with his sister Renee, is planning a new growth path for the winery-one that will doubtless increase his time spent in that part of the state.
"One of our challenges is deciding how to grow the brand and make it different from Griffin Creek, Weisinger's, and the other producers in the region," explains Joe. "So, we're looking at developing Italian varietals for the Paschal name, including Sangiovese, Dolcetto, Barbera, perhaps a little Rufasco. There's also a lot of Merlot and Cabernet available in Southern Oregon, so we might do a Super Tuscan blend . . . and then there's some really nice Nebbiolo that we might look at as well . . ." To Joe, it's all opportunity!
The Cherished Cherry Hill Project
As if all these activities weren't enough to keep Joe busy, there is one other new project that has captured his imagination: the development of the Cherry Hill Vineyard and Winery in the Eola Hills-the new construction he was inspecting on the morning we visited him.
Cherry Hill Vineyard is a new Pinot noir vineyard (52 acres planted, 45 plantable) owned by Mike Sweeney, who lives in Indiana. The site was a former Cherry orchard, with hills that sway up from two trout-filled ponds to crest across a broad view of the Willamette valley. Joe has been consulting with Mike on the design and development of an 8,900 square foot, 7-8,000 case capacity winery that will be the home of a new Cherry Hill Wines label-and Joe's wines as well.
"This is really like a dream come true," exclaims Joe. "We have designed the winery for production efficiency, it is 15-minutes from home, and the setting is simply gorgeous." As part of the Cherry Hill project, 8 bed & breakfast cabins have been created offering visitors charming accommodations at the vineyard and just a short stroll down the hill from the winery. "I don't think there is anything else in Oregon quite like this site," says Joe!
As the winery comes online, Joe will begin making Cherry Hill Wines for Mike from estate fruit (primarily Pommard and Dijon clones), and will consolidate much of his own current winemaking production into the winery under a lease arrangement. "Honestly," says Joe, "I have to pinch myself every time I go out to the vineyard!"
Passion Fuels Endless Energy
Joe admits that having his fingers in so many pies is a bit daunting. "Some people think I'm nuts, but to me all of these things make sense," he explains. "There's certainly a lot of risk-I have never had so much financial responsibility on my shoulders-but these are all things I love to do and that I know how to do. My whole career until now has been preparing me to rely on my own skills and judgment. I believe that passion fuels endless energy, and since winemaking is my passion, I am confident that I have the energy to make all this work!"

This is a video we made for our US history class. We had to make a movie about the Civil War and have a commercial break in between. So we did an Axe commercial. Special thanks to Ron Roberts for the editing. Everyone in the commercial as well. Kit, Alana, Stevi, Tyler, Alex, Madahi, Isabel, and me :)
On January 27, 2010, the students of Lawrence High School in Lawrence, Kansas, came together to film the first ever lip dub in Lawrence history. Before it was hacked--which is bad and which we neither support nor condone--the video had received over 130000 views and had received national attention because of its depiction of a high school community we all hope is still possible. In effort to share the joy and enthusaism and creativity again (or for the first time), we once again present our video for you to enjoy.
Another english project required us to make a commercial for a product or service related to a book we independently read... I had "A Brief History of Time"... and I feel obligated to say that because this video hardly conveys a similar message. Check out the website for it, sites.google.com
This is a 'Michael Jackson original' which students from IV Narra adopted and made into an originally made music video. The theme of the music video revolves on young students who became united in the latter part of the story and making themselves part of a history through their own small ways. The twist of the story happened when the main character realized that everything was just a dream. At the last part, the twist served as an open ended scenario for the main character and viewers to decide whether he/they would pursue their quest of making themselves part of the history.

Retroactively discuss Thursday's game, assuming you didn't forget about it like we did. Oh, and other games. Whatever.

Texans start the game off with a 7 yard sack of Henne. They they proceed to allow the Jags to convert the first down after giving up a 15 yard gain on screen a screen pass. If they're going to allow the Jags to move in chunks of yardage like that it's going to be a painful game.
And on the next series Texans give up a 25 yard play on 3rd and 4 giving the Jags possession inside the 10. Brandon Harris and Brice McCain run into each other while failing to execute a switch in coverage.
A secondary featuring Shiloh Keo, McCain, and Harris is... suboptimal.
Jags are aggressive going for it on 4th and goal from the 1. MJD punches it in. Texans inability to stop 3rd down on the two preceding sets of downs has been a consistent issue this season.
Jacksonville has ditched playing dodo football for a few games already. They are going for it on 4th down a lot and are going for TDs instead of FGs.
Keenum takes a 20 yard sack on 3rd and 8. Texans have to punt it away. At least the Texans didn't cough up a turnover giving the Jags a short field. One step at a time.
The Houston defense fails to prevent another 3rd and long conversion. On top of it Jonathan Joseph goes to the sidelines after the play. If Joseph is out for any length of time I think their back-up is... me.
I like your odds.
On defense the Texans are just pinning their ears back and going after Henne. When the rush gets their it ends poorly for the Jags, but when it doesn't they're converting chunks of yardage.
On offense they have been mostly ineffective. They haven't taken any shots downfield, mostly because nothing has been open for him.
Commentator is saying something about the Defensive Coordinator of the Browns.
He brought them to 'championship form'.
I know it's hard to separate one unit from another one to calculate DVOA but Cleveland defense is 19th in DVOA... did I miss something?
Looking at the raw statistics one is left with the impression that Browns are a defense that gets thrown under the bus a lot by the other units of their team. And that while they make the opposition fight for their yards, they're prone to surrendering TDs and lack the ability to create the kind of plays that are necessary to swap field position. They're good at yards per play, decent at resisting 1st downs, bad at preventing TDs, not great at producing turnovers. They'd probably be a much better defense if they had a much better offense, but they don't and the surrendering TDs as opposed to forcing FGs is pretty much on them.
The Jags defense is all over the Texans offense. Keenum getting little time to pass, and the CBs are all over the WRs. The Texans have made it into Jag territory once, and have under 15 yards of total offense midway through the 2nd quarter.
Campbell needs attention after being brought down. He was rolling and got tackled and landed badly on what looked like an easy tackle.
Weeden is warming up. Again.
This is getting creepy. Like there's a curse on any QB playing ahead of Weeden. As Simmons would say: God hates Cleveland.
So the refs call 3 penalties on the Bears on one play (only the first one should have mattered, as it was clearly an incomplete pass and the play should have been blown dead immediately...and then everything after that wouldn't have happened), but Chris Long leaves the bench to join the fight and that goes unnoticed. Okay.
I think thats snow in Cleveland. Is this the first snowfall during play this season?
So Simpson falls on Burnett after making the catch and Burnett gets a 15 yard penalty? I've been pretty good about dealing with all the new rules that are claimed to be for safety but sometimes the calls are just....
Of course I might just be annoyed because GB's defense sucks enough, the Vikings aren't going to need the refs to help them to score, even with Ponder at QB.
Watching it live, I can see why it was called. But agree that, on replay, it's a terrible call.
"Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be."
Yeah it was not a good call at all.
Gus Bradley loses a timeout and a challenge when he tries to challenge that a member of the punt coverage unit was out of the end zone when he downed a punt. It seems to me it was a terrible situation to challenge. Yes, the difference between downing the ball at the one, and a touchback is a lot of yardage, but the Jags defense has been smothering and the Texans have been incredibly ineffective. Keeping the challenge (and it was a close call but clearly called correctly on the field) would seem to have been a better call there.
Haden makes a rookie mistake.
He's in man coverage and step for step with Antonio Brown - perhaps the fastest guy on the field - and Haden decides to look back to see if the ball is on its way even though he hasn't eaten up his cushion yet.
Next thing you know, Haden is slowing down and Brown is still sprinting. Brown gets separation, catches the ball and it's a TD.
Who would've thought; running while looking behind you slows you down.
Polamalu almost exclusively does his job close to the LOS or in the flats.
So now he can make plays without being out of position! Whoo hoo!!
Rams were supposed to be a good team this year, but nobody gave them the memo. Then, just when everyone agreed that the Rams were a bad team this year, nobody gave them that memo either. Someone better send the Bears a memo that every game from here on out has playoff implications.
Luke Kuechly hits Dolphin receiver with helmet to helmet hit. Looked like unnecessary roughness.
Flag thrown.
And then picked up.
So...apparently there's some kind of secret memo saying that Kuechly can do what he wants to in the end zone, and it's not a penalty.
Unlike the game last Monday, I don't see how there's any argument here. It was a clear helmet-to-helmet hit. Why are flags being picked up?
There's clearly something going on here where referees that are in a bad position are overruling those in a good position.
It's really strange to see the guy whos 50 feet away overrule a guy who is 5 feet away.
ps. Does the spam filter ever think something isn't spam?
I think it helps to be logged in.
Although most of my longer comments need spam-thing.
I guess a lot of words are considered 'spam'.
I guess Buffalo was lucky that Kuchely committed his foul from the 11.
DJ Swearinger barely misses what could have a been a pick-6 for Houston when he drops a Henne pass to Shorts. The Texans finally stop a Jags 3rd down, but Antonio Smith goes helmet-helmet hitting Henne (and it was a text-book penalty; leading with the crown on his helmet right into Henne's facemask) and the penalty gives the Jags 15 yards and a first down.
JJ Watt blocks Scobee's FG attempt. It's a shame that the Texans' failure of a year has left Watt's performance this season out of the headlines. Seems like he's been even more disruptive this season, just without the gaudy sack numbers.
Flacco hits a bomb over Reed to Jacoby Jones for a 66 yard TD. Can't imagine the Jets coming back given how their offense has played.
So 'aiding the runner' is totally legal now, no?
Because Adams (lineman Steelers) pretty much carried Bell (halfback Steelers) for another 2 yards.
I don't think I've ever seen it actually get called, and it happens quite a bit.
I saw the ref talking to Adams after that particular play. Perhaps it was a warning? "Please don't force me to make that call..."
Texans Special Teams are making a serious push to supplant the Redskins as the worst in DVOA. Martin fields a kick 2 yards deep and fails to make it to the 15.
Roethlisberger punts to the 1!
Those bud light commercials are just too retarded.
They don't score because you got beer from the basement you idiot. Only morons think that way.
Consider the target audience.
Football fans? Yeah, you're right.
Your words, not mine.
I was going with beer drinking americans.
Closer to the mark. I was thinking "drinkers of cheap American beer".
I think they're meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
Texans driving in the last minute to try and tie the game, but Keyshawn Martin bobbles a reception which is then picked off by the Jags.
With this loss does it give the Texans the first pick if the season ended today?
So is there a worse referee than Jerome Boger? Not complaining about the roughing-the-passer gift the Bears just got, but my God, the penalty calls have been terrible in this game. Does he get paid by the flag?
San Diego might lose thanks to the prevent offense.
Why can't teams that are moving the ball just keep playing the same way with 5 minutes to go and a small lead? Run the clock if you are 2 scores up, but 3 points isn't much with the way kickers and pass defense are these days.
Rivers may have just bailed them out.
Very nice TD pass there.
I'd make some kind of comment about the KC defense being overrated, but the loss of Hali and Houston has got to make a serious impact that mitigates that somewhat, especially since SD has a good offense anyway. Still, that sack by Berry on the final drive was the first one they've had in three weeks, which is not a good sign.
In other news, Case Keenum could not get in the end zone at home against the Jaguars. Almost feels like Houston is taking securing the first pick in the draft into their own hands.
So when Green Bay had a 4th-and-goal from the 2 on the first drive of overtime, was it crazy of me to think they should've gone for it? If you make it, game over, and even if you don't they get ball the back right up against their own end zone. Plus you avoid kicking to Patterson.
"Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be."
Seems like a decent idea to me.
I was thinking the same thing, particularly when Minnesota ripped right down the field and didn't stall until deep in the GB end. I contrast Ron Rivera going for it on 4th-and-10 in his own end in the win over Miami (talk about a guy who's done a complete 180 this year...)
tie alert in Wisconsin.
When it went to 1st and 25, I actually thought the best option for GB was take a knee and the tie. The chance of something bad happening in the last 30 seconds was much higher than the chance of anything positive. Looks like the tie will happen anyway unless Ponder has a 66-yard Hail Mary in him, though.
Actual quote from Colts/cards game: "It's always great when comedian Carrot Top comes out to enjoy the game."
No, no it's not.
Carrot Top's mom is in the house?
If the Jets keep playing the way they have the past two weeks, Rex Ryan may still yet be fired, despite his team currently being in a tie for the sixth seed in the AFC.
Speaking of that sixth seed, there will be a six-way tie for that spot at the end of play today.
Is it just me, or does teams tend to spend too much time per play in overtime? The goal isn't to run out the clock and get a tie, the goal is to end the game by scoring a touchdown on an early drive or a field goal on a late drive, and spending 6 minutes on the first drive just to get a field goal isn't all that helpful.
Agree would like to see teams run more hurry up, no huddle Offenses in an Overtime; instead of going heavy personnel and playing like it's the 1st quarter again.
Fatigue is probably an issue by that stage. Tough to run the hurry with linemen who have already slugged it out for 4 quarters I'd imagine.
You actually have 15 minutes to score, so you have all the time in the world.
Better get the right personnel and the right play in.
If both you and your opponent are running a 5-6 minute drive just to get a shot at a field goal, then 15 minutes is nothing. Especially if you end up needing two field goals to win.
Cardinals looking like they really want that Niner playoff slot. Colts looking like, well, the most inconsistent team of the season.
Palmer really looks like he's settling in with Arians and the rest of the offense of late. If they could just figure out that Ellington is a better RB than Mendenhall (though Mendenhall *is* having a good game today, to give credit where it's due), they might genuinely have something.
I wouldn't read too much into a performance against the Colt's defense. It's imploded over the last month. The front seven is totally ineffective at this point, excluding maybe Mathis. Even he isn't playing great though. The bad front seven has exposed the mediocre secondary. Completion percentage has been off the charts against the Colts recently.
Yep. The media won't blame Luck one bit for the Colts inconsistency, though. Even though he gets all the credit when they win.
Perhaps it's because most people realize he has a terrible line and no receivers.
So do a bunch of other QBs.
Or perhaps he only has a subpar o-line and receivers when the Colts lose. Because when they win, you'd think that Luck blocked for himself and caught his own TDs, when those same subpar teammates actually gave him plenty of support.
No, his liene sucks every week. He has taken 50% more hits then any other QB in the league. Since Reggie Wayne went down, he has one NFL quality receiver. Luck hasn't played great over the last month, but it is silly to claim that he is the reason for the Colt's poor offensive performances.
So? He's an elite QB. He should helping his line by getting rid of the ball quicker, right? It's what I always hear about Luck when the Colts win, he makes everyone and everything better. But when they don't win it's the o-lines fault. Not buying the double standard.
No, he's holding the ball too long because nobody can get open, actually. I'm not sure what you're arguing, though Since he can't overcome a poor line and poor receivers every week that makes him overrated? If that's you're point, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Please don't feed the trolls.
So? Luck is elite. He's supposed to throw pinpoint passes to covered receivers. That's all I hear about Luck whenever the Colts win, now that they don't win it's the receivers fault.
No, he's isn't overrated because of that. He's just overrated. He's been a good QB this season and has played well at times, but people need to stop making him elite when he still has to prove that he's the best young QB of his generation.
And LionsInAZ, no one asked you to reply.
Don't bother with this guy. We all know football is not a one man game.
I'm confused: New York has been much better at running than passing in this game. Facing 3rd and 6, and knowing that they would go for it on 4th, why not run? They've gotten several long runs in the game, so it's not at all unlikely it might succeed (especially with the surprise factor), and their best RB, Brown, is their third-down back anyway.
Dallas is falling apart. With 9 minutes left and down basically a score, this should get tied up soon enough.
aaaaaaaaand you're correct.

Maybe I missed something, but in the late INT in the Jets-Ravens game it appears that the defender runs out the back of the endzone on his own. I only saw the replay once, but why wasn't it called a safety?
A defender who gets control of the end zone cannot be tackled for a safety - it's a touch back. I imagine it's the same thing for a defender who runs out of the end zone.
A safety only happens when you have control of the ball outside of the end zone and bring it into your end zone and the play ends there (or there's a penalty there).
Dammit, Ridley, these fumbles are killing your future in the NFL.
RIdley may have just fumbled, but no one can take away how awesome his hair is.
Getting ridiculous out there.
First fumble was indefensible.
Second fumble was on Solder's failure to block.
Don't know what to say about this one. Looked like it was essentially caused by a knee to the head.
It's too bad Brady is all about stats and doesn't have that winning quality Peyton has.
I am sorry I will never get sick of it! :)
Surely electronic timekeeping technology should be able to handle this weather. It's the 21st century. Yes?
The referee should be wearing a vest and pulling out a pocket watch from this point forward...
Broncos have -1 net passing yards.
Coverage on the screen pass?
Pretty soon the Broncos will need to go to the long pass in order to grind the clock and avoid running up the score.
So far, tonight's answer to the "who's better, Manning or Brady?" question is "Moreno."
Odd pass interference call on Amendola.
The OPI call on Amendola was just bizarre.
It looked like textbook OPI to me, I'm not sure why Collinsworth didn't think so. It looked like Amendola actively sought out Gronkowski's man and ran into him to free him up.
And Rodgers-Cromartie hurts himself trying for a pointless INT to pad his stats. Dumb.
I imagine it's instinct for a corner to attempt to catch a ball in the air - the kind of thing you train for so much that it stops becoming a matter of judgment.
Normally I would agree with you. But it's the last play of the half, and that ball was floating in the air for quite some time there. DBs know the one rule in that situation is to bat the ball down, there's nothing to be gained for picking that off.
More weirdness: DRC apparently hurts himself diving to try to get a pick on the last play of the half.
I've got to wonder how much of tonight's sloppy play is due to the cold.
The second half should be about pride and self-respect for the Patriots. Ignore the scoreboard and just focus on avoiding stupid mistakes.
They'll have a lot more pride and self-respect if they win the game though!
The DRC injury really has opened things up for the Pats' passing game.
So, it's perfectly clear now. Gronk interfered with in endzone, National Disgrace. Gronk pass interferes in the endzone, 'Big boy Football.'
Impressive comeback by the Pats. Can't just be the injuries.
Vereen is really becoming an adventure as a receiver. Maybe it's time to shut that option down.
edit: and just like that, he converts a 3rd down.
This is why I'm not a coach.
This might end up being a blowout the other way.
Too bad - the hold had nothing to do with the pick, but dem's da rules.
With this much time left it's hard to imagine the Patriots not going down and scoring to win this one.
I see what you're up to.
4th and short?
throw to Kevin Faulk?
I don't understand why Denver didn't use their timeouts to force NE to play to 4th down.
I think the Patriots should've gone for it on that fourth-and-one considering Brady's record on sneaks.
When the Ravens took the ball in 45 mph winds in Chicago in OT, I thought that was a mistake. But given how NE sliced up Denver's D in the 3rd quarter, this doesn't seem like the right call to me.
Very strong game for Aqib Talib.
Is Chris Collinsworth widely known as the worst announcer on NFL games? Is there anyone worse than he is?
Phil Simms is much worse.
He's one of the more tolerable to me.
Simms and some others I never care to remember the names are way way worse. Someone called Nants comes to mind.
I think he's one of the better ones.
Dierdorf and Simms are probably the worst.
Jammer got away with one there.
… And then he is karmically punished on the next play.
Come on Collinsworth, "they're letting them play football"!
I just don't get how the Patriots can hold and interfere just about every play, and then act incensed when their opponents get away with a close one. How did Brady not get a flag screaming at the refs?
I'm almost 100% sure that morganja is either Peyton Manning, or Rex Ryan.
That's the 3rd and 4 playcall, McDaniels???
You want Brady throwing deep on a cold night???
If Moreno could carry the ball more than 2x in a row without having to come out the Broncos would be in much better shape.
Tonight, Brady has outplayed Manning, but Moreno has outplayed both combined.
Memo to McD: Brady is not going to get a completion 30 yards downfield to anybody in this cold weather.
Agreed. It was pretty irritating watching McD try to kill drives. It's the end of a close game, you have the ball and plenty of time... first downs, not a kill stroke.
... That's how this game ends? bleh
Seems like that one is one Welker. Just run under the punt and call a fair catch.
Just when it looked like we would have the second tie of the day. Now that will probably never happen… I guess an appropriately odd finish to this game.
On one hand this is a terrible ending for this game. On the other it's the most fitting ending possible. And old horse-face just has to sit there and watch it happen. I am content.
Seems fitting, really. Game hyped as giant QB battle is nothing of the like, with Manning being his usual middling cold-weather self and Moreno carrying the load for the Broncos. A giant special teams blunder to set up the winning score is somehow fitting.
I know the ending wasn't aesthetically pleasing, but I'll certainly take it.
Huge game for the Patriots. In spite of their Keystone Cops shenanigans of the 1st quarter, the defense was stout enough to let the offense make the 2nd half comeback.
Agree with those above who say that Moreno was the player of the game. But Talib also had a great game, given that he was in man coverage on Demaryius Thomas most of the game.
I don't know what kind of electroshock therapy is going to be needed to get Ridley to hold onto the ball more securely.
So patriots haters, how does it feel??
I don't think the Pats run defense was as bad as it looked tonight. The Pats were playing with their top four DB's all at less than full-strength, and to my eye it looked like they were in nickel almost the entire time. It seems like they decided to not let Manning beat them and instead rely on their front four to keep Moreno from getting his yards.
Of course, that front four pretty much failed to do so, but it is notable that when it absolutely counted (i.e. in overtime when a 5 yard run was as damaging as a >5 yard pass), they were able to hold the run game in check.
Yeah, I wondered if it was a "let Thomas run" kind of game plan, which looked pretty bad when the Pats were giving the ball away, but didn't look anywhere near as bad when the offense got it in gear in the second half. I'll be fascinated to see what DVOA says about this game.
And while a lot of folks might think it's a lame ending for the game, having a fluke win you a game is kind of karmic justice after getting jobbed twice this season by the refs.
Hey, lookie! Another game winning drive for Tom Brady!
Did I mention how I loathe that stat?
Wes Welker took his eye off the ball for just a moment, locking eyes with his QB from just a season ago. The crisp night brought a rosy glow to Brady's otherwise rakish features as the chill wind played with his hair. He could hear Paula Cole's "I Don't Want To Wait" swelling in the background before the colors of teammate Tony Carter flashed in his peripheral vision, snapping him back to the game. Too late to ward anyone off, but Brady.... Such joy as he bounded back on to the field. Welker knew it was his call to make, that he blew it. His heart sank deeper as every step carried him from Brady to his own sideline. He hoped the ache was for his team, but he just didn't know.
And you don't want to credit Brady? C'mon man.
Pure brilliance. Absolutely amazing. Kudos good sir.
Kind of funny that yet another beloved ex-Pat has a special teams moment in a game in Foxboro.
Remember kids: Brady is clearly better than Manning because the punt returner didn't communicate well enough to his return team!
Terrible pick by RG3.
His accuracy continues to be off.
Hmm..Meriweather found some way to tackle CK without going for either the head or the knees.
It's almost like there's 2-3 feet of torso in between!

Three families from British Columbia, Canada, attended the Camp Kerry Maui Family Bereavement Retreat from July 10 to 18.
The Camp Kerry Society generally serves families where children have lost a parent, but they also assist parents and grandparents who have lost their children, according to a news release. All of the families who attended the retreat had suffered multiple and sudden losses. Two mothers and one young father attended with their children ranging from 8 to 16 years old.
Participants were immersed in an intensive therapeutic process that included individual counseling, support groups, reflection circles, music and art therapy sessions, yoga lessons and an oceanside candlelight memorial service.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Despite some rain, this year's Richmond County Fair furnished the perfect unofficial end to summer, as guests weathered stormy conditions for the final day of this weekend-long outdoor festival. It included all the traditional favorties, from rides to a flying flea circus and plenty of live music.
"People just enjoy coming out, seeing the new flavors, and enjoying a day of fun," said Bob Coghlan, president of Historic Richmond Town and co-chair of the Richmond County Fair.
He noted that this year's attendance was about the same as in previous years -- even with last week's fire that charred a historic house used to store archives -- with thousands of guests strolling the landmarked grounds throughout the weekend.
Five-year-old Alexa Arpaia of Prince's Bay tried her luck at one of the carnival games, attempting to hook a plastic fish floating in a small pool of water.
Her mom, Jennifer, helped out a bit, but the little girl didn't seem to mind after she got to pick out her prized stuffed duck.
"It's a nice day out, but you get to stay on Staten Island," said Mrs. Arpaia.
Over at the AWE stage, younger local acts performed their songs to a small but dedicated audience of friends and family. Teenagers with spiked mohawks and band tees moshed around to some of the heavier metal riffs, while proud parents recorded their kids shredding on stage.
"It was really cool performing," said Alexander Blood, a 15-year-old vocalist from Eltingville who fronts the local metal band Unknown Instinct. "I wish they'd let me scream more up there."
Things were a bit quieter over at the Historic Trades display, where 61-year-old Pete Dockter of Grant City watched a Richmond Town worker demonstrate how one would have used a spring pole lathe to shape a pin wheel in the 1800s. "Anything with no electricity, I like," said Dockter.
Always a fan of history, Dockter lamented the recent fire that heavily damaged the 223-year-old landmarked Kruser-Finley House, which was blocked off by scaffolding Monday. "I feel bad about what happened there. I just hope they could rebuild it. It would be a shame if it was lost forever."
The Historic Richmond Town president said that fire marshals continue to investigate the cause of the blaze. One silver lining, he said, was that it made folks more aware of the history in Richmond. "You can't really rebuild history," Coghlan said, "but I think that people realize the importance of making sure we preserve history while we can."

Looking for some 7.62x39 loads for my newly acquired CZ 527 bolt gun. Looking for some plinking and hunting loads. Probably going to get some Berrys Bullets 125 grain SP's for the plinking. They have a max velocity of 1800fps.
What about the hunting bullets? Hornady?

Volunteers to spend time Saturday cleaning trash from the Potomac River watershed
April 4, 2013
HARPERS FERRY — Television sets, sinks, Visa credit cards — seemingly unrelated things that all found a resting place at the bottom of the Shenandoah River....
I think it's important to remember that the people participating in the clean-up are volunteers. They're not paid. And most of them know that the trash they're picking up is not the result of intentional acts, it's incidental -- let's focus on the positive impact of the effort.

It's one of the challenges of living at the confluence of trash from other States.

Most of the garbage is swept into the river during heavy rains and flooding, and a small fraction is dropped in the river or on its bank. The story is written as if the junk is deposited in the water directly.It isn't. Note To Ms. Horst: Amongst is pretentious. Use the word among, unless you are writing poetry. Then there is this: "…one of the most common things she's found are single shoes submerged under the water." First, you have a verb problem. You incorrectly used "are" because of the influence of the plural object of the prepositional phrase. The verb should be singular (one…is.) Second, commonest is superlative, meaning one of a kind or highest in degree. There can be only one. Corrected, the line reads, "…one of the MORE common things is…" I'll make a writer out of you yet, if you pay attention.

• In the management of complete rectal prolapse, the data indicate that transabdominal mobilization of the rectum with secure fixation to the sacrum has no higher rate of recurrence than rectosigmoidectomy by any route, and has less risk than anterior resection. Of 17 patients with complete rectal prolapse who were operated on during a five-year period, 16 were managed by the above method; two by the Orr-Loygue method using polypropylene mesh; and 14 by positioning an inverted T-shaped piece of polypropylene posteriorly to anchor the mobilized rectum to the sacral promontory. There were no surgical deaths, rejections of polypropylene, or complete recurrences in two to 56 months of follow-up. One patient experienced a mucosal recurrence only. These 16 cases further support the practice of abdominal proctopexy without resection. The polypropylene T procedure overcomes a potential disadvantage of the OrrLoygue procedure.

Dabiri, John O. and Gharib, Morteza (2004) Delay of vortex ring pinchoff by an imposed bulk counterflow. Physics of Fluids, 16 (4). L28-L30. ISSN 1070-6631. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:DABpof04

The Kelvin–Benjamin variational principle has been previously used to predict that vortex ring pinchoff can be delayed if the energy of the leading vortex ring is decreased during formation and/or the energy delivered by the vortex generator is increased. We present experimental results in which the former and latter energy effects were simultaneously accomplished by imposing a bulk axisymmetric counterflow during vortex ring formation. Measurements indicate that the formation number is retarded sufficiently to allow increased ingestion of fluid circulation by the leading vortex ring. This serves as a first demonstration of artificial manipulation of vortex ring formation for potential propulsive benefits in starting jets.

The Essential 100, No. 64: Resident Evil 2
Cover Story: Capcom's second attempt at survival horror had the protégé besting his master.
ne of my first encounters with an insultingly easy video game puzzle came at the tender young age of 15 while playing Capcom's Resident Evil 2. After hitting a dead end in the Raccoon City Police Department's basement thanks to a sealed manhole, what should I find minutes later but a steel, crowbar-like object referred to by the game as a "manhole opener?" By giving the solution to an already easy puzzle in the name of the item itself, Resident Evil 2 already did me more favors than the entirety of the first game; if you remember correctly, the original Resident Evil hid important items within other items, which could only be found via a thorough inspection of their 3D models on the menu screen. By depicting its collection of weapons, jewels, keys, and other assorted trinkets as flat, static 2D images, Resident Evil 2 sent a clear message to the player: that kind of crap wouldn't be happening this time around.
Of course, we can't ignore the fact that Resident Evil won over gamers with just how inscrutable it could be at times; the vague hints and dead ends gave the Spencer Mansion a lonely, oppressive air that brought an entire genre into being. For the sequel, though, Capcom would increase their scope considerably, from a single abode to an entire city -- well, the parts that weren't blocked off by flaming wreckage, anyhow. The responsibility to create a sequel to the game that helped define the PlayStation generation fell into the hands of young Hideki Kamiya, protégé of the series' original creator, Shinji Mikami. Where Mikami excels in creating expectations and then defying them, Mikami makes stylish action his forte, which can definitely be seen in future works like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. And, even in the stiff, pre-rendered trappings of late '90s survival horror, Kamiya's style still shines, making this second Resident Evil the definitive 32-bit installment of the franchise.
Recapturing the magic of Resident Evil 1's haunted house wasn't going to come easy, and it certainly didn't; like Resident Evil 4, part two would see the developers return to the drawing board after a failed first attempt. Capcom's willingness to let their rising star gestate for as long as it needed to ultimately paid off, as Resident Evil 2 offered a sense of scale that hasn't been repeated by the series, regardless of how often Resident Evil sequels jumped around the globe.
Though the action confined itself to a single city, Resident Evil 2 didn't just present a straightforward adventure for the player; thanks to the confusingly named "Zapping" system, Resident Evil 2 was two, two, two games in one. As with the first game, players would select one of two characters, but this time around, their stories happened concurrently. And after finishing the game with one character, the other offered a sort of Zelda second quest-style challenge, with the added story hooks of getting to see what the alternate protagonist had been up to while you busied yourself with grinding herbs and shoving statues. Even though this two-sided story makes for a logistical nightmare, it provides enough incentive to start up a new game immediately after watching the credits roll.
Even though Kamiya's characters couldn't perform the aerial acrobatics his games would eventually become famous for, Resident Evil 2 empowers the player much more than the first game's hostile approach. Though it's still easy to have your life quickly whittled away by a handful of enemies -- especially if you haven't grappled with tank controls in some time -- this Resident Evil sequel cuts down on the aimless wandering of the original by making your goals explicit and the means to reach them obvious. And while you'll constantly be scrounging for ammo, Kamiya knows the simple joy of blowing off zombie heads with a shotgun, and gives you many opportunities to do so -- in fact, it's the first extra weapon you'll pick up minutes after starting a new game. (Let's not forget that the original Resident Evil threatened to squish you into a fine paste if you deigned to upgrade your arsenal.)
Resident Evil 2 might have offered less of a challenge, but it still provided everything a good sequel should: an expansion of the same elements that made us fall in love with the original, polished to a fine glow. Like the walking corpses that inhabit their decaying mansions and, Resident Evil games don't always age well, but this second installment helped prove that video game sequels didn't have to be the cheap, unnecessary cash-ins that plague the world of movies -- as long as companies like Capcom have the patience (and deep pockets) to let them develop into something great.

My biggest memory (spoiler warning)Posted: Sep 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by echosauce
of this game is a scene where you walk into the morgue and a door falls off the wall. We were in my friends basement watching him play and he emptied a full pistol clip into it before it hit the ground. All three of us grown men about jumped off of the couch.
Fast forward a year and a half later, I was playing through the game myself for the first time, and I did the exact same thing!!! I totally forgot I already saw what was going to happen.
This game is still on my must finish listPosted: Aug 27, 2012 12:00AM PST by SuperSledge
It didn't hook me and with all the high praise I feel like I might be missing something...
RE2Posted: Aug 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by Aunt_Jebidisa
my best memory of the game is that first licker scene.that scared the shit out of me when i was a kid.
YepPosted: Aug 24, 2012 12:00AM PST by BumSkiddlyUm
Agreed. However, have we ever thought of what a dumb name that is for easily one of, if not the, scariest monster in the RE universe? A "licker"? Really?
My favourite in the series and maybe my favourite game of all timePosted: Aug 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by RaginScotsman
Speed running my way through to unlock hunk and tofu is probably my proudest gaming achievement and unlike a lot of todays achievement/trophy hunts I actually had fun and didn't feel like I was forcing myself to play.
The plot and acting are just on the safe side of schlocky to not pull me out of the atmosphere that is created in the opening sequence and remains with you for the full game. More than any other zombie game this truly feels like the world has gone to hell. Wheres the remake?
One very memorable gamePosted: Aug 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by ForteII
My second-favorite, right after Resident Evil 0 .
CoolPosted: Aug 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by SinewySimian
That's an unconventional choice! But I really liked Zero too.
Those Resident Evil redos...Posted: Aug 27, 2012 12:00AM PST by SuperSledge
that came out on gamecube look sweet but I never got to play them
I'm still heartbrokenPosted: Aug 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by SinewySimian
that Capcom didn't give RE2 the remake treatment they gave the original. I love that GameCube remake so much, and for about three straight years after playing it the only thing I wanted was to see the same love given to RE2, because I always felt it was a better game. Le sigh...
Totally agreed...Posted: Sep 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by retroyoshi
...and to this day, I hold onto the hope that maybe, someday, someone will make it happen.
The Big DebatePosted: Aug 23, 2012 12:00AM PST by tasogarejer
I'm so glad to see this on here as it is easily my favorite RE. Ever since I introduced my friend to RE4, we've had to argue about which is the best. For now, at least, I can rub this in his face like the mature, responsible person that I am.
Anyway, I'll never forget the first time I encountered a Licker, characters like Chief Irons, Ben, and the Birkins, or the "zapping" system. That was SO cool at the time (it's still pretty great). It's one of the only games that I've beaten 4+ times and still get excited about playing.
The horror game of the generation.Posted: Aug 22, 2012 12:00AM PST by orient
RE2 remains the quintessential PS1 survival horror experience, even with its easy puzzles and abundance of ammo. The combination of mind-blowing backgrounds and fantastic sound design (the menu sound effects = best in video game history, and the save room music...) made for a super atmospheric game. The cool conspiracy storyline and interesting cast of characters (for a video game in 1998) just topped it all off.
great gamePosted: Aug 22, 2012 12:00AM PST by TxScrewHead
i remeber getting this game and scaring the shit outta myself.
C'mon!!Posted: Aug 22, 2012 12:00AM PST by senakaittai
No "Jill Sandwich" Pun??
But anyway, RE2 is definetely the best of the 3 launched in the PS era, and, to this day I can brag having cleared Tofu mode!
RE 2 was a gemPosted: Aug 22, 2012 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
RE 2 was great. I liked how Leon and Claire's campaigns unfolded a bit differently. I suppse the reason I don't get upset over the new REs taking on a more action oriented direction is because RE 2 & Nemesis were already leaning heavily upon those themes to start with.
I'm sure if capcom's programmers could have added better aiming, spin kicks, grappler drops, and more responsive movement "back in the day" they would have.
Just my opinion though.

Allstate to post signs at dangerous intersections
Signs focus on motorcyclists
Published 4:41 PM CDT Sep 11, 2013
September marks one year since a motorcycle crash at an Oklahoma City intersection killed the husband of an Oklahoma City police officer.
Adam Steele died after a crash at NW Expressway and Belle Isle Blvd. Allstate Insurance is posting three "Watch for Motorcycles" signs at the intersection at 11 a.m. on Sept. 18.
Allstate reports 61 percent of deadly motorcycle crashes in the Oklahoma City area happen at intersections.
In a news release, the company says the signs will serve as a strong reminder to watch for motorcycles and help prevent crashes in the future.

Guys , I need some help with my algebra assignment . It's a really long one having almost 30 questions and consisting of topics such as real life applications of radicals, real life applications of radicals and real life applications of radicals. I've been trying to solve those questions since the past 4 days now and still haven't been able to crack even a single one of them. Our instructor gave us this homework and went on a vacation, so basically we are all on our own now. Can anyone help me get started ? Can anyone solve some sample questions for me based on those topics; such solutions would help me solve my own questions as well.

Hi friend , I was in a similar situation a month back and my friend suggested me to have a look at this site,
. Algebrator was very useful since it offered all the basics that I needed to work out my homework problem in Algebra 2. Just have a look at it and let me know if you need further details on Algebrator so that I can render assistance on Algebrator based on the knowledge that I currently posses.

Algebrator truly is a masterpiece for us math students. As my dear friend said in the preceding post, it solves questions and it also explains all the intermediary steps involved in reaching that eventual result. That way you don't just get to know the final answer but also learn how to go about solving questions right from the first step till the last, and it helps a lot in working on assignments.

Is it really true that a software can perform like that? I don't really know much anything about this Algebrator but I am really looking for some assistance so would you mind suggesting me where could I find that software ? Is it downloadable over the World Wide Web? I'm hoping for your fast response because I really need help desperately.
