Bucs Training Camp Position Battles: Defensive Line
In two weeks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have their first training camp practice,?and?a lot of eyes will be on one particular?unit that got a lot of attention this offseason -- the defensive line.
During free agency, Lovie Smith and Jason Licht went?hard after?Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson, who was seen as one of the top-tier free agents, signing him?to a five-year deal worth $43.75 million. They also signed defensive tackle Clinton McDonald to a four-year deal worth $12 million.
The team needed to do something to energize an anemic pass rush that generated 35 sacks last season -- 23rd in the league. It should be noted that 15 of those sacks came from players who weren't defensive linemen, showing that the team could not consistently generate pressure with its front four.
Johnson will be your starter at right defensive end and McDonald will line up alongside two-time Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy,?leaving?the left defensive end spot up for?grabs. Adrian Clayborn, Da?Quan Bowers, William Gholston and Steven Means will all be competing for it, although with defensive lines, and last year's Super Bowl winner, Seattle,?is a prime example ? you need a healthy rotation?of guys to keep your pass rush fresh.
At this point in time,?Clayborn appears to have the edge, even though?in this?defense, he'll be lining?up at left end.?He produced 5 ? sacks last year flip-flopping where he lined up, but with Johnson solidified on right, Clayborn will be forced to contend with tight ends and he'll have to use more of his right arm, which could be an issue due to his Erb's Palsy (he's told me numerous times that he doesn't believe the arm's an issue, and the previous coaching staff even tinkered with his stance so it wouldn't pose limitations on him).
Despite being at a natural disadvantage there, Clayborn is a violent hitter, he's worked hard to improve his pass rushing moves, he's relentless and above all -- he plays to the whistle on every down. Will that be enough to secure a starting job and a new contract for next year after the team chose not to exercise its fifth-year option? Only time will tell with that, but it should be enough to at least hold off the competition this year.
Da?Quan Bowers?has continued to disappoint. He showed up this offseason out of shape, the worst possible first impression you could make on a new coaching staff.? Last year, after the team parted ways with Michael Bennett, Schiano rode?Bowers?hard during camp for the same?issues he's facing this year?-- to get him conditioned and try to make him an every-down player. It didn't work. Will defensive line coach Joe Cullen, a prot?g? of Rod Marinelli, who's one of the best defensive line teachers in the business, be able to get through to him?
Personally, I think I've?seen more out of Gholston, at least from an effort standpoint. The same goes for Means.
As far as defensive tackles?Akeem Spence, the starting nose tackle from last year, will take a back seat to Clinton McDonald, who was part of that ferocious Seahawks pass rush. Considering Spence had some off-the-field issues this offseason (he was arrested on a marijuana charge)?learning from a veteran like McDonald wouldn't be such a bad thing, especially considering the responsibilities here will be a bit different than last year.
As far as backing up McCoy, Euclid Cummings, a highly-sought after undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech, who?Cullen personally lured to Tampa Bay,?could be that guy. He's one of those players that possesses all the measurables you want at that position -- size, speed and pursuit. He just needs some refining and he'll certainly be one to watch, likely competing for that final spot along the D-line.

Adorable Micro Pig Has a BathDevan McGuinness
There is little cuter in this world than a micro pig. I have wanted one for a long time because it's a baby big that (sometimes) stays tiny and it's just so cute.
I have long wanted a pig and a few days ago I did a little research to see if they would be possible to bring into our house. I found that there was a large gap of how large the pig could grow to, so we decided it was not the right time to bring one into our family (we need a bigger house first).
I came across a cute video that didn't squash any love I have for these adorable micro pigs, it actually made it worse. In this cute video, uploaded by YouTube user petpiggiesuk, an adorable spotted micro pig squeals happily as his human friend give him a bubble bath in a bidet.

Look at everything Utah has to offer
ST. GEORGE, Utah -- Pick your pleasure: Scrambling up a steep ridge, 1,000 feet above a canyon floor? Or gliding in a golf cart down a manicured fairway, where a carpet of emerald green offers a striking contrast to the red-rock desert?
At first blush, the two outings might seem to have little in common. But having done them on successive days in Southwest Utah this fall, I can identify two key similarities: Both call for sunscreen, and each goes a lot better if you avoid going off a cliff.
Visiting the dramatic spires and vistas of Zion National Park has been on my to-do list for decades. And recently a friend mentioned that St. George, Utah, the closest sizable city, has become a bit of a golf Mecca.
That revelation, and a little online research, turned the matter from a notion into a plan: hiking boots and golf clubs were tossed into the Camry trunk for the two-day, 1,200-mile drive from Seattle.
Here's a closer look at Zion hiking and a St. George round of golf:
Angels Landing
Somewhere along the steepest section of this 5.4-mile hike in Zion National Park, my right foot slipped a bit, dislodging a couple of dime-sized rock chips. They bounced once or twice and disappeared. I didn't see them land. I knew they could be falling 1,000 feet or more.
This is what the news clippings had talked about. It's why the park's published guide says the Angels Landing hike is "not for young children or anyone fearful of heights."
And it's why a heavy chain is anchored to steel posts to assist hikers along the uppermost half-mile of this hike, which includes crossing a narrow rock "fin" with sheer drops on either side.
The payoff was a gently rounded summit, roughly the size of a 7-Eleven lot, with a magnificent 360-degree view. This may indeed attract angels in the next world. For now, it's drawing visitors from all over this one. I overheard conversations in at least four languages.
On to the golf course
For Northwest golfers, a round of golf in southern Utah may be a bit jarring. We're used to seeing tall evergreen trees (or rows of houses) flanking our fairways.
But guess what runs alongside several holes at Sand Hollow Golf Resort near St. George: Nothing.
Just left of the fairway, the earth disappears. It's a 100-foot drop down to the valley floor, and if you just smacked your $4 Titleist Pro V1 that direction, the two of you are not going to be reunited in this lifetime.
Sand Hollow, listed by Golf Digest as one of the nation's 10 best new courses in 2009, has strengthened St. George's credentials as a year-round golf destination. Golfers can choose from a dozen courses in and around this city of 140,000, which sits at 2,800 feet.
With hot summers and mild winters, courses here present contrasts in bold colors: green grass, red-rock desert, black lava rock and blue sky.
Sand Hollow rents vacation villas that could be good bases for groups who want to play this course and others.
St. George has an interesting selection of shops and restaurants and something we did not expect: a fantastic outdoor amphitheater where shows and concerts are presented.
It's called Tuacahn, and is nestled against a red rock wall of Snow Canyon, just north of town.

The Berkeley Pier was constructed in 1926 to provide a deep water landing for an auto ferry to the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco. Between 1926 and 1937, it served as an integral part of US Highway 40. The ferry line shut down in 1939, about two years after the Bay Bridge opened. The portion of the pier closest to shore was converted to recreational use, while the remainder was left to decay.

Recent reviews
Good 3.5 /5 from 782 reviews
The price I paid was VERY affordable (~60) but the bathrooms were very gross. My tub was not cleaned at all and the drain had a lump of debris around it. Saw a couple bugs... YUCK! I just thought it was kind of weird since the original rate for this room was $170 but it didn't feel like a triple number rate room at all. Overall, asked for a new room and front desk was nice about it and switched me to a new room a few doors down.
The stay was good. One thing about this property that I did NOT like was the check in clerk refused to give me a copy of my credit card transaction when I check in even though I was told I had to sign it. She stated that I could only get it when I check out. Another thing about this property that I did not like was that they refused to allow me to pay for my stay in cash instead if putting it on my credit card. The final thing that I did not like was that the hotel requires an additional 15% hold on my credit card. This information was not on hotel.com site. Had I known this I would have selected a different hotel.
The pictures posted do not reflect the room we received. However, we did check in very late so this may reflect the type of room we got. The room we received we received was very run down. The deadbolt did not work and it was pretty run down. The bed was about the only saving grace of the hotel. I am not sure if this was just one of the rooms that was not updated, but I was a little surprised when we arrived given the photos i saw online and the star rating. However, we did get a really good deal, i so i think in this case "you get what you pay for". In the future, I would probably look to stay somewhere else, but it wasn't THAT bad, if you are just looking for a place to sleep.
was good
This hotel was such a pleasant surprise! We loved the room, very clean, cozy bed and efficient air conditioning. The pool was lovely, perfect temperature. The grounds were well kept and I felt totally safe. Saturday night was a loud,I was up until about 2 a.m. The neighbors were enjoying their television at the loudest level,they had kids too, it was strange, I should have reported it. Other than that our 4 night stay was perfection. Loved the late, 12 p.m. check out too!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Right Arrow Woes
In a Word document, I'm trying to get a simple right arrow symbol in Times New Roman. However, pasting it in from the Character Viewer inserts it as Arial Italic. Changing it back to Times in Word has no effect - it goes back to Arial immediately. How can I get around this? [more inside]
Can you identify these classic Infocom fonts?
What are the fonts used in these iconic Infocom ads: 1 2? I'm particularly interested in the 'Many are the doors...' font and the 'Apple II...' font from 1, and the 'WE'RE WRITING' font from the second. I can find stuff that's close with WTF et al, but not the same.

What font does graffiti / street artist Ben Eine use? [more inside]
Don't worry, I won't use Comic Sans
I'm having trouble choosing which font(s) to use -- for example, for a flyer or poster. I don't have a graphic design background or much experience with it, but sometimes I have to design simple pieces for my job. Are there any introductory online resources that can help me learn more so that no one will point and laugh when they see a flyer I made? I'll be looking at this thread and this thread, too. My main fear is that I'll put something together and someone will point and laugh and say, "Oh no, you used THAT font?"
Can you identify the typeface in the Subterranean Logo?
What typeface is this they're using in the Subterranean logo? What The Font and Identifont have not helped narrow it down, so I thought I would tap into the hive mind to see if you all knew what it is.
What's this handwritten, scroll font?
What is this font? I'm trying to match the cute, handwritten scroll feeling of "just add ice." I'm happy to find a typeface either to buy or a free download. OpenType preferred. My results from Identifont weren't close.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, this flavorful way to prepare chicken (also known as chicken al mattone in Italy) will soon become a mainstay in your cooking line-up. Kids will love it, too!
ready to learn? just hit play.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper (about 24 turns on pepper mill). Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken (skin-side down) in the skillet, and sprinkle with rosemary. Place another skillet on top of the chicken and weigh it down with something heavy (like a large can of tomatoes or a brick, if you have one lying around).
Cook until the skin is golden brown and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn the chicken over, weigh it down again and continue to cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. (Depending on the size of the chicken thighs, you may have to cook them in batches.)
2 large skillets, measuring spoons, tongs, "brick" (like a large can of tomatoes)
Here's a recipe pairing we love with our Rosemary Chicken Under a "Brick":

Cardiac catheterization is procedure that allows physicians to diagnose or treat heart conditions, as well as to measure blood pressure and blood-oxygen levels. An ultra-thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into the body followed by a thin wire, called a stent, which maintains the open space of an artery.
In 1989, Sky Lakes Medical Center brought in the area's first cardiologist and opened the catheterization labs. Today our services include cardiac catheterization, a special-procedures lab, angiography and pacemaker insertions
We also perform balloon angioplasty and vascular stenting – procedures designed to open blocked or narrowed arteries – on-site in the catheterization lab.

Guided City Tour
The secret of the old town
The historic town centre of Zug is an idyllic place with its oriels, colourful housefronts & small alleys. But the story behind this town is much more eventful, than its peaceful appearance of today suggests.
On the guided tour through the city centre you will learn the most important historical facts of the town and hear about its success and disasters. Discover the characteristic Zytturm, the townhall with its medieval hall, the gunpowder tower, the fifteenth century St.-Oswald's church and the old charnel house. Look forward to a number of surprising discoveries as you follow the tour: after all, living in the centre of the town wasn't always attractive in the old days.
The tours can be booked individually. In addition to German, they are available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Danish.

Do You Need a Surveyor?

What can WVSPS do for you?
Steve Losh
WVSPS keeps us informed on legislative actions that effect our profession and way of life. Sometimes the ramifications are positive, sometimes negative. This gives us ample opportunity to circle the wagons, contact our respective representatives and hopefully influence a good outcome for land surveying in our great state.
Don Teter
Networking, to use a cliched word. Interacting with other surveyors statewide, and at the local level. Local chapter meetings can be a great way to find out what is going on, compare notes, and share information.
Jack Booda
It's a great place to get good, honest, down-to-earth answers on how to solve professional surveying problems.

Speaking publicly for the first time since he broke his foot on Jan. 5, former Lehigh star C.J. McCollum said Friday he has "no regrets" about returning to school for his senior season. He could have been a potential first-round pick in last June's NBA draft, but decided to put the pros on hold for one year, play his senior year and get his degree from Lehigh. Despite suffering an injury that ended his collegiate career halfway through the season, McCollum doesn't view his experience as a negative one.

Fixed PriceBudget: $3,000
Start DateOctober 8, 2013
The goal is to have a module that can take a set of matching points from a set of n photographs and one or more reference distances to create an accurate 3D model. These matching points are manually done and not using feature detection. The objects are typically large buildings, both exterior and interior. There can be 50-100 images per set. We use a high res camera 7360x4912.
Previously we used the code from Chapter 4 of the Mastering OpenCV book.
See https://github.com/MasteringOpenCV. However the code does not produce accurate enough results. The existing code uses VS2012, opencv 2.4.6, and google test. I have several test files used to test accuracy.
I need a contractor to either produce a new module or correct the existing code. The contractor must be very familiar with Multiple view geometry and have created similar code.

Cross-border Work
Connecting Indigenous Peoples Across Language and Oceans
By Diana M. Holguín
August 5th, 2015
The challenges faced by indigenous peoples often transcend geographical location, so it's not surprising that indigenous groups in India and Brazil share similar stories of oppression and strife.
Summer Grantmaking at Grassroots International
By Lydia Simas
July 27th, 2015
Grassroots International stands with people on the frontlines of defending the human rights to water, land, and food. Recently, we awarded more than 15 grants to movements in Haiti, Latin America, Palestine, West Africa and India – bolstering the efforts of those leading the global struggle for climate justice and creating sustainable solutions that we can all learn from.
Big and Fast Is Not Better
Building relationships with grassroots organizations that advocate for human rights-based development takes time, but without investing in them, philanthropy is likely to stumble. The case of Haiti is instructive.
With questions surfacing in the media about the Red Cross' housing program and Sean Penn rising to the organization's defense, the debate about how best to help Haiti is in full swing.
Haitians Prepare for Massive Deportation of Dominicans of Haitian Descent
Haitians are preparing for an influx of deportees from the Dominican Republic. That's what we learned during our recent site visit to Haiti from some of the organizations we met with like the Limonad Women's Association for Development of Agriculture and Artisanal Production (AFLIDEPA), who were preparing to welcome and do what they can to support them..
Movements in Guatemala Reject US Intervention in Corruption Crisis
The US Treasury Department will now be responsible for restructuring Guatemala's tax collection agency (the Superintendency of Tax Administration, or SAT). That announcment came last week from the US Ambassador and Guatemala's President and follows weeks of public outrage and political fallout after a customs bribery ring was exposed in a UN-backed investigation.
Agroecology Declaration lays out the path for a sustainable, healthy planet
Small-scale food producers and global movement leaders gathered in Mali earlier this year to lay out a plan to transform and repair our food system and the rural world that has been devastated by industrial food production. Their declaration (below) spells out specific values, strategies, challenges and next-steps to not only feed the world, but also address climate change by advancing agroecology.
Hosted by Grassroots International grantee CNOP (the National Coordination of Peasant Organizations) and La Via Campesina, among several other leading agroecology organziations, the International Forum on Agroecology outlined agroecology is a key form of resistance to the commodification of food and seeds, and moves toward a healthy planet.
Grassroots spreads the word on Global South movements at national conferences, social media.
Grassroots International is hard at work across the U.S. and beyond putting issues such as climate justice, food sovereignty, resource rights, Palestine, women's leadership—even when they are controversial or unpopular—into the limelight.
Spreading the word is a key strategy we use to advance resource rights, particularly when it comes to connecting our Global South partners to sources of solidarity, funding and support, and making changes in policies here in the U.S. We do more than give grants; we build solidarity right here in the U.S. for our partners and their social movements. It is also a key reason why funders and donors choose Grassroots International as a vehicle to support them.
The Best Way to Feed the Billions
We share planet Earth with nearly 7.3 billion people. By 2050, there will be 9.6 billion of us, according to the United Nations. That's a gain of one person every 15 seconds—or about 74 million more people each year—and each another mouth to feed.
Some claim we need to increase world food production by 70 percent to avoid future shortages, especially in developing countries, where the greatest population increases are expected over the next 35 years. Are they right? It's a question that many, including the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization's Population Institute, are raising.
Women's Equity, Respect and Dignity in Central America: An Interview with Yasmín López
Grassroots International celebrates the courageous work of frontline women defending the human rights of peasant and indigenous women around the world. One of these women is Yasmín López, a national coordinator for the Council for the Integral Development of the Peasant Woman (CODIMCA). A partner of Grassroots International, CODIMCA is the lead organization for the Women's Regional Commission of La Vía Campesina–Central America, and one of the first peasant women-led organizations formed in Honduras with the explicit objective of reclaiming women's land rights. Below is an excerpt of my interview with Yasmín.
What inspires you to work for women's rights in Honduras?
The Unexpected Learning Exchanged: Gender Consciousness and Capacity
Humanity cannot solve its problems with one hand effectively tied behind its back. Yet, given the state of women's rights globally, this is metaphorically the case. One of the guiding principles of Grassroots International's work is the recognition and support of women's agency in the struggle for justice and liberation – not just to advance women's leadership (though that is a goal) but also because women's engagement and leadership are necessary to push us all forward.

Return to Fetal Development Overview
- At 18 weeks pregnant, vernix (a white cheese-like protective material) forms on baby's skin with the lanugo (soft, lightly pigmented hair covering the body and limbs); both serving to protect your baby's skin during the months in water.
- Your placenta continues to grow and nourish the baby. Don't forget those prenatal vitamins!
- After 18 weeks of pregnancy, tiny air sacs called alveoli begin to form in lungs. He'll be putting these lungs to good use in just a few months!
- Her vocal chords are formed. She goes through the motions of crying but without air she doesn't make a sound.
- Features of your baby's heart, including ventricles and chambers, should be visible during an ultrasound.
- Your baby measures about 5.59 inches (14.2cm) this week and weighs about 6.7 ounces (190gm) at week 18 of your pregnancy.

Safeway stores will pay more than a half million dollars in fines and promise to clean up and repair refrigeration units at 659 stores throughout its nationwide network, including one in Greeley, according to a settlement reached Wednesday with the Environmental Protection Agency.
The settlement, estimated to cost the nationwide grocery chain $4.1 million, involves 39 stores in Colorado, including the Greeley store at 3526 10th St., according to the EPA settlement decree.
In a release issued Wednesday, the EPA stated Safeway has agreed to pay a $600,000 civil penalty, and begin a corporatewide plan to reduce its emissions from refrigeration equipment at the 659 stores.
The release stated the settlement involved the largest number of facilities ever under the Clean Air Act's regulations governing refrigeration equipment.
"Safeway's new corporate commitment to reduce air pollution and help protect the ozone layer is vital and significant," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, in the release. "Fixing leaks, improving compliance, and reducing emissions will make a real difference in protecting us from the dangers of ozone depletion, while reducing the impact on climate change."
The settlement resolves allegations that Safeway violated the Clean Air Act by failing to promptly repair leaks of hydro-chlorofluorocarbon, which is used as a coolant in refrigerators, and that it failed to keep adequate service records of its refrigeration equipment, the release stated.
Safeway will now implement a corporate refrigerant compliance management system to comply with federal regulations, the release stated.

in England we have the Premier League (no longer allowed to call it the Premiership for some reason) and the Football League, unfortunately I'm resigned to the Football League (League One), but at least there's no one diving around like girls and there's REAL football being played.

I'm from the US, and I'll have to agree with you. I like watching a sport where you do use your feet better than watching something where they suck wind on the sidelines after every six seconds. I like both sports fine, but I think that american football players are kind of wimps.Originally Posted by maffmace
You're from the US?! I always had you down as being from England, what with being a Man U fan...why do you support Man U?Originally Posted by manufan15
Well, mainly because I really like some of the players they have now, or had before. I think Paul Scholes is a great player and is modest off the field. I like Rooney, but unlike him, he doesn't lose control of himself. (As often) Everyone does once in a while. And I really like Tim Howard. He's done a whole lot for the team, and for children with Tourette's Syndrome and such. Then I really started following the team.Originally Posted by Lewi T
you should support your home town team, I know people do things differently in the US, but in the UK there's a lot of rivalry between teams and people who don't support their home towns are classed as "glory hunters" and are looked down upon.Originally Posted by manufan15

Well what's everyone's thoughts on the weekend's Premiership action?
It was a very good weekend in my opinion, all the games were exciting and had lots of quality. Not much controversy to talk about, a few dodgy decisions as usual, but nothing major I don't think.
I must say, what a performance by Liverpool. I mean, I know it was a poor Derby, but a team has to take advantage of that, and winning 6-0 is exactly taking advantage!
Also, I just watched the Villa-Chelsea game, and what a game it was! Villa won 2-0, it was a decent Chelsea performace but they lacked penetration. Fabulous Villa performance though. I can't be arsed to comment on all the games so that will do for now.
Happy about United's win, was a completely different game when Saha came on...
Was watching the Chelsea match too, they didn't play too well, Villa played great.
I have a feeling Liverpool are gonna win the Premiership... They've been great so far
Ronaldo should be playing next United match, hopefully they'll play a lot better with him playing

Team of Rivals
The dirty secret about the Dream Team is that they were not actually much fun to watch. Sure, the 1992 U.S. Olympic men's basketball squad was almost certainly the greatest basketball team ever assembled—with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing, they were essentially the Avengers plus Superman, Batman and Jesus Christ—but that's precisely what made them unwatchable: They were so good that no one could compete. It was like getting excited to watch Superman box a 13-year-old pimpled boy with braces. After the first couple of punches, jeez, who wants to see any more?
In his entertaining "Dream Team," Jack McCallum initially gets into the nitty-gritty of how the Olympics came to invite NBA players in the first place—1992 was the first year that pros were allowed at the Games—before deciding, rightly, that no one cares. Readers just want to know what these superfriends are like and what happened when they gathered in the same room. The book does not disappoint, though it's hardly a sordid "TRUE STORY OF BILLIONAIRE ATHLETES ABROAD" muckrake. Mr. McCallum, a longtime writer for Sports Illustrated, has covered these players for so long that each one knows him better than most of their past teammates. The book becomes a laid-back travelogue of Mr. McCallum's career, a narrated notebook dump.
Dream Team
By Jack McCallum
Ballantine, 352 pages, $28
Fortunately, the notes he is transcribing happen to be about 12 global stars—well, 10 plus John Stockton, who as a self-described "six-foot white guy who looked like everyone else" could roam Barcelona anonymously, and a token collegian, Duke's Christian Laettner. Mr. McCallum provides all sorts of fascinating, loopy, sometimes banal, sometimes insane details. Mr. Bird and Patrick Ewing, who had never shown much affinity for each other, became best friends in Barcelona, calling themselves "Harry and Larry." Mr. Jordan and Magic, fierce rivals, addressed each other exclusively as "M.J." Mr. Bird refused to join the late-night card games, staying in his room because the beer in the hotel was too expensive. An unnamed Dream Team member once burst into the players' lounge, desperate: "Who's got a rubber? I need one fast!"
Mostly, Mr. McCallum narrows in on Mr. Jordan, Magic, Mr. Bird and Mr. Barkley. Their interactions aren't all that different than a junior-high cafeteria: They battle, they bond, some gang up on the others. Mr. Jordan respects Magic, but he loves Mr. Bird, in large part because Mr. Bird showed him so much deference when he first came in the league. Mr. Bird thinks Magic is a showman who overstates their supposed best-friendship. Both of them think Mr. Jordan is better than they ever were, but Magic has a harder time dealing with it. (The only player on the Dream Team who thinks he is better than Mr. Jordan is Clyde Drexler, amusingly.) All three of them treat Mr. Barkley like a misbehaving little brother—he is drinking for seemingly three-quarters of this book—and he acts like the only man on earth daring enough to call them out on their god complexes.
It all culminates in the one Dream Team game that does matter, an infamous scrimmage between Magic's blue team (Magic, Mr. Barkley, Mr. Laettner, Chris Mullin and David Robinson) and Jordan's white team (Mr. Jordan, Mr. Ewing, Mr. Bird, Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone), a reckless battle with ferocity and trash talk unlike anything the team saw against Angola.
Mr. McCallum watches the tape of the game with each player and even provides a box score. "In many ways," Mr. Jordan recalls, "it was the best game I was ever in. Because the gym was locked and it was just about basketball." Alas, the intensity lasted only for an afternoon. Later that week, they were playing cards and drinking until dawn the night before the gold-medal game (in which they beat Croatia 117-85). The Dream Team was interesting because of who was on it, not because of what happened. Mr. McCallum, and his book, are the platonic chronicler of both.

For 14 years now the Burton Moto Snowboard Boots remain the world's bestsellers. Why are they so good? Well, take Shrinkage™ Footprint Reduction Technology which minimizes toe-drag and weight of the boot enhancing your ride. Or the Speed Zone™ Lacing System which gives you the most customizable fit. Maybe you're looking for a boot that will keep your feet warm, and the Moto will do that too thanks to Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil.

On my blog homepage I have videos embedded to a certain width. However, on the Single Posts I have moved the sidebar to make the content space wider and would like to make the videos larger as well.
I'm having trouble figuring this out since the embed code which governs the video's width is in the post itself and I can't put an IF clause inside the post.
I also don't seem to be able to give the video a custom width using css code.
Any help would be great.

As part of a larger survey of the membership of the Association of Women Surgeons, data were collected to characterize the participation of women in academic surgery and surgical education. Of the 1500 members, 676 (45%) responded, and 318 of these respondents held a faculty appointment. Two hundred thirty-nine of the respondents' practices were based in a university or university-affiliated hospital. This sample was biased toward more academically motivated, upwardly mobile surgeons. Two hundred thirty-six of the respondents believed policies relating to tenure are unfair to women. Four hundred fifty-three respondents reported having role models at some point in their career, half of whom were men. However, only 204 still had access to role models or mentors at the time of the survey. Six hundred thirty respondents believed that female medical students need successful female surgeons as role models.
