An early conclusion to the Giants season means more time for the front office and coaching staff to evaluate personnel and make decisions with free agency fast approaching in March.
And the Giants, in addition to the 19th overall pick in the NFL Draft, have a lot of decisions to make: The team has at least 18 unrestricted free agents, three restricted free agents and three exclusive rights free agents to sort through on the roster.
"It's a pretty big number, but nothing we can't handle," general manager Jerry Reese said with a smile today.
-- Martellus Bennett is among the Giants' unrestricted free agents and said he's seeking a combination of three things: a multi-year deal, a return to the Giants and the chance to play with his older brother Michael, a defensive end with the Buccaneers who is also now a free agent.
The older Bennett recorded a career-high nine sacks this season.
"I could car pool with him and save gas money," said Bennett, who said his No. 1 offseason priority is getting "abs of steel."
"We could probably buy one car. … we'll take turns. He could drive on like Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and I could do my day Wednesdays and Fridays."
The tight end set career highs with 55 receptions for 626 yards and five touchdowns after four seasons with the Cowboys. He joined the Giants last offseason when he signed a one-year deal.
"I think he did do a good job for us for a guy coming in," Reese said. "The system is not easy to learn. Our offensive system is a lot…you have to read the defense on the run and I think he did a pretty good job with that."
-- Domenik Hixon is another offensive weapon among the Giants' unrestricted free agents that said he would like to return.
"When it comes down to it, I talked to some guys who have left from here and the grass isn't green on the other side," the wide receiver said.
Hixon returned this season after missing the last two due to ACL tears. He battled a concussion and a high-ankle sprain this season, but said he came out of the season healthy. He had his best season as a receiver since 2008, catching 39 passes for 567 yards and two touchdowns.
"They gave me an opportunity after two knee surgeries to come back, so I just wanted to go out there and just repay them and thank them for giving me another opportunity," Hixon said.
-- Safety Kenny Phillips, also unrestricted free agent, said he met with Reese today after what he called a "frustrating" season plagued by a knee injury that sidelined him for nine games.
"I just spoke with them and I didn't really have much to say, to be honest," Phillips said. "They spoke. They said some things. They asked me if I had any questions. I really didn't. Just wait and see what happens."
-- Linebacker Chase Blackburn, another unrestricted free agent, said he also met with Reese, who commended the veteran's effort this season.
Blackburn, who said he would "love" to return to the Giants, started all but one game this season at middle linebacker after starring in the Giants' Super Bowl run as a late addition last season.
"I felt like I played relatively consistently throughout the year," the 29-year-old said. "I had some strong performances and I laid it all out there. That's all I can say and hopefully it was enough."
-- Osi Umenyiora has one more year left on his contract, but that year was made easily voidable when he and the Giants re-negotiated his deal in June. Throughout the season, Umenyiora conceded that there's a high probably he won't be back after 10 seasons with the team, but Reese wasn't ready to concede that Umenyiora played his last game as a Giant Sunday.
"The evaluation process will take care of itself. Osi has been a terrific player for us," Reese said. "I tell you guys this all the time, he's one of my all-time favorite players in the National Football League. Not just Giant, all-time favorite players. I was happy to see him stay healthy this season and when he's a healthy guy, he's another guy that has some tread left on his tires. He's still got a lot of football left in him."
-- Stevie Brown was responsible for many of the Giants' big plays on defense and is now a restricted free agent.
The third-year journeyman safety said he met with assistant general manager Kevin Abrams today to discuss the team's two tender options.
"They just said they'll put a tender on me, just don't know what type of tender yet," Brown said.
Brown, playing for Phillips, became the first Giant with eight interceptions in a season since 1968 and led the NFL in interception return yards.
"I think I did enough for them to want to keep me so we'll just have to see," the 25-year-old said.
-- Terrell Thomas missed the entire season after he re-injured his ACL in training camp and underwent surgery. The cornerback has three years left on a contract he signed last offseason, but the only part of his contract that was guaranteed was a $1 million signing bonus. He is set to receive a $6 million option bonus plus a $750,000 base salary plus other incentives if he remains on the Giants roster next season.
"I haven't talked to Terrell Thomas lately. I'm not sure," Reese said. "I know he had this surgery, but as of late, I have not spoken to him. We'll investigate that and see where he is and see what we can do with respect to him as well."

WEST AMWELL TWP. — The fourth annual fundraiser to address a community need will be a pheasant hunt to be held Saturday, Jan. 18 at the Hunt Family Preserve here.
This year, the hunt will benefit Adam Ubel, a 16 year-old from Kingwood Township who is paralyzed from the chest down because of a motocross-racing accident. The 2013 hunt aided the Lambertville-New Hope Rescue Squad.
Adam had the accident in California and is in a rehab there. He has the potential to recover and will be in an intensive program called "Project Walk" to make the fullest attempt at regaining as much mobility as possible.
"Project Walk" is not covered by insurance and is quite costly but is said to be one of the best facilities for regaining ambulation. There are no similar facilities in New Jersey so Adam's parents have been traveling back and forth due to work and maintaining their farm.
"We are hoping to be able to raise money to help cover some of these expenses and for any modifications needed to his family's home to accommodate Adam when he returns," the Hunts said in a statement.
Hunt Family Preserve is at 342 Mount Airy-Harbourton Road in West Amwell Township. Hunts will be scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for groups of two to four hunters. Three pheasants will be released per hunter for a one-hour hunt for $60.
Participants must have a valid hunting license. They can bring their own dog or dogs will be available at the farm one. Food and coffee will be served.
Call 609-397-2007 to reserve a time slot. If unable to attend, here's a link to donate online.

Ania's European Gourmet Deli, Russo Plaza, 290 Route 46 West, Parsippany. (973) 808-1103. Hours: 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Mondays to Fridays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sundays
Is there an ode to the pierogi? I've searched the web and found praise for everything from aardvarks to zombies, but I can't find one lyric, limerick, rhyme or rumination on the pierogi.
Fill them with potatoes, cheese, sauerkraut, mushrooms or meat. Pan-fry, boil or deep-fry. Dip 'em in sour cream, applesauce or knock 'em back like sliders. They're hors d'oeuvres or dinner or fill them with fresh fruit and they're a perfect dessert.
I know it's a classic stereotype, but over the years, I've actually seen dozens of Polish women with babushkas on their heads making pierogi by hand in commercial kitchens all over New Jersey. Most recently, hands were flying in the kitchen at Ania's in Parsippany, a lovely little gem where Anna "Ania" Lasota serves excellent traditional Polish food.
My friend Lenny Torine told me about Ania's -- he liked the food so much, he actually talked his way into their kitchen and e-mailed photos of him and chef Maria Tarasewicz cutting, shaping, filling, and boiling pierogi to entice me to come take a look.
I didn't need convincing, although it looked like he was eating more than he was making. Lenny really knows good food. So with visions of kielbasa and kraut dancing in my head, I set off to meet him at Ania's for lunch.
It's important to note that everything here is made with fresh herbs, vegetables, fruit. Every piece of meat is butchered by hand, every potato is sliced and shredded by either Tarasewicz or her helper, Maria Szymanski. There are no machines in the kitchen, just a 10-burner stove and four ovens.
Ania's offers a hot buffet every day with entrees, side dishes and soups. If you have an entree and a side dish, it costs $7.95; with soup it's $8.75. Entrees can include pork shoulder back with fresh mushrooms, chicken or pork cutlets, roasted peppers in tomato sauce, kielbasa with sauerkraut, stuffed cabbage, lecho (smothered red peppers Paprikash-style) and potato pancakes (on Fridays).
Side dishes could be mashed potatoes, potato dumplings, boiled veggies or whatever Tarasewicz finds fresh in her garden.
Then there's the soup. Glorious, beautifully seasoned, don't-pick-up-the-salt-or-pepper-till-you've-tried-it, ridiculously priced soup. There are five or six per day, like pickle soup, leek soup, tomato, mushroom and white borscht. I love tomato soup and this -- although I usually like it thicker -- ranks up there with the best in flavor. Fresh herbs, hearty tomato broth with maybe a touch of cream -- lovely. The mushroom soup is earthy, with large pieces of mushrooms, some thick-cut bacon for a lift. If you love mushroom soup, you'll want to try Ania's.
The white borscht is pureed, and the broth is delicate but substantial. In the leek soup, carrots, onions, leeks are almost crunchy -- it's more like a stew, but thickened with ingredients, not flour.
The soup alone is worth the trip, but the prices for all this homemade goodness are astonishing. Lasota charges $2.49 for a pint and $4.99 for a quart so come and get it before she changes her mind.
Lenny loves the huge, savory-style stuffed cabbage; it's all meat and a bit of rice wrapped in only one cabbage leaf. I'm addicted to my friend Rena's sweet and sour legends, so I let him be the judge. The kielbasa is great and so is the fresh kraut, but that would always be my favorite entree, so I'm biased.
Then it was on to the pierogi. I prefer mine pan-fried, Lenny didn't seem to care how they were cooked. I loved the potato/cheese and the zesty sauerkraut and mushroom and was surprised to see a side dish of sauteed butter and onions along with the sour cream; but it was a perfect accompaniment. If you want to cook yours at home, they're for sale refrigerated ($5.99 for 12) or the staff will prepare a dozen for your family for $6.99.
Ania's is also a Polish deli and you can buy freshly smoked, sliced meats like hams, salamis and bolognas. There are six varieties of kielbasa, at least 15 kinds of cheese, and none are American. The refrigerated case has butter, yogurt, milk, juices and, of course, herring from Poland. Freezer cases are filled with Polish entrees, side dishes and delicacies and there is a wide selection of candy, cookies, snacks, groceries and fresh bread from nearby Polish bakeries.
When we left Ania's, I knew dinner was improbable. Polish food sticks to your ribs, but you finish a good Polish meal with a smile and a thank you to Maria Tarasewicz and the women who still know how to shape a pierogi by hand. Still, you can't help but wonder what song they sing while they work: an ode, perhaps?

The Tangible and Intangible Benefits of On-Site Training
I just spent a week conducting on-site product training for a great company in New England. You don't have to take my word that they are a great organization, but the state of Connecticut has chosen them as one of the 'Best Places to Work'. Like all organizations they look to control expenses and benchmark operations, current issues that the great recession has brought to the fast lane of corporate attention.
Even with those considerations in mind, this corporation decided that the cost of on-site training is worth the additional expense for the future benefit gained. Along with the cost of new software and conversion of data they decided that on-site training would be more beneficial than the less expensive remote training. I agree. I know that self-learning and Webinars are successful training methods, but there are valuable intangible and tangible benefits you receive from on-site training.
Personalized training
Every training course has a canned presentation that is meant to fit a universal audience. With on-site training I have the opportunity to find out how, when, where and why you use our product. Since I had previously worked on this company's data conversion project and knew what they were trying to accomplish I could focus the training on what would be most important to them and the specific items of training they requested. I could target the training to general product user information for management users and focus the asset import training to the data entry group. I was able to spend one-on-one time with the data entry trainees and could answer questions specific to their tasks. Printed information was personalized to their situation. In a mixed group all-encompassing remote training, one-on-one opportunities aren't usually available.
Build a relationship
Match a face to a name. There is something about physically meeting and personally knowing my trainees, and my trainees knowing me, that is a basis for a relationship. On a remote session we are all just voices over the internet, nothing memorable to associate a name with a face. I find that many trainees are more open and less intimidated about learning the product or asking me for help, once they make that in-person connection. Does it mean that everyone is suddenly my friend and we exchange Christmas cards every year? No. It means for those people that would frustratingly "figure out another way", they might now call or email, saving them frustration and wasted unproductive time.
Break the barrier to not asking a question
Over a year I will conduct many Webinar trainings and in those trainings I find that trainees are reluctant to ask questions, even though they have a bit of anonymity (with me at least, not necessarily with their colleagues) since we are only individual internet voices. Unfortunately, when trainees don't ask a question I lose the hint that maybe what I said wasn't clear. Even more unfortunate for the trainee is that they let the moment pass and didn't ask their question and now they probably won't. Whether I am on-site for a day or a week, when you have that physical presence and spend time on their 'turf', they are more inclined to ask the question. Even if it is only a "Can I ask you?" as they pass me in the hall or catching my eye as I look around the training room.
Build Trust
We support our clients. Period. Just because the training is over and I'm back in Sarasota, it doesn't mean that I expect trainees to know everything about our product and they won't run into a situation where they would like a consult. Training on-site allows clients to get to know me and that I represent Red Moon Solutions; I am a personal contact that they can reach out to. A contact they know, a contact they've met, and a contact they can trust will take care of them; we're not just the 1-800 numbers at the end of the training manual.
Company Commitment to Employees
This week's trainees work for a company that wants financial success, and also wants employee success. Informed, prepared, employees are an asset. When a company takes on the expense, planning and logistics to buy on- site training they are letting their employees know that they want them to be successful, they want them to have the tools to be better. They understand that the extra expense of on-site training has value. Everyone has friends that work for a company where the word training isn't brought up in conversation anymore; it was one of the first things axed with the recession. But I think it is pretty common knowledge that if your company is paying for on-site training they feel the added expense is paid back in a future benefit.
There isn't a line on your balance sheet or profit and loss statement that shows what a company gains by investing in on-site training, but training would be high on the list of contributions to employee and company success. When trainees become trained users they reduce the expense of nonproductive time and they become the knowledge transfer to the next generation of users.
Is on-site training for every situation? No. Do I think you shouldn't purchase new software or not improve your processes if you can't budget for on-site training as part of the project? No. I think there are intangible benefits that dollars can't measure that pay off down the road in building a relationship, creating trust, and instilling confidence not only between vendor and buyer, but between employers and employees, some things better facilitated by personal interaction, face-to-face on-site.

Blake isn't a center, but he's an athletic freak of nature. CP3 would be fine without DJ.
Blake with that jumper is showing his potential. I cant imagine how good he will be in a year or two. Just unguarded
Man I wish we had resign Randy Foye instead Willie Green
I know Foye would have been such a better signing.
Yes yes yes
I'd be careful with all these smiles. I like what I see, but...
If Anderson Vajero was still healthy, a trade with DJ sound good.
If only DJ and Kaman could only trade their ages.
Blake is just ballin
Blake is just beasting out there.
One assist away from a Blake double-double!
Who dunked on Aldridge? I'm listening to the radio right now and Sieman didn't mention the name of the dunker.
What happen Lamar?
Come on, Lamar.
That Blake dunk was exactly like his rookie dunk on Jeff Green! So much power!
Where would we be with Blake Griffin? I'm so glad he step us his overall game this year. He's amazing, so lucky to have him as our franchise player!
LO denied BG his 10th assist rofl
Blake's 10th assist denied. But man...he's working hard out there again. He has truly been heroic in these games, even the losses (he had a bad game against the Suns, but on a bad ankle). Honestly, I think Blake could drive and dunk more often then he thinks he can, but what a play!
ONE of our franchise players.... CP3 and Blake are definitely co-franchise guys.
Bledsoe is abysmal from the field right now.
That's why he's a bench player. If you let him take too many shots, he'll put up Westbrick statlines.
We be blowing Portland out of staples if it wasn't for ebled 3-12 shooting
See if we can get Hill involved now.
bledsoe doesn't realize he's not a shooter, he needs to take it hard into the paint
Aldridge shooting right over Odom.
Crawford had a clear path to the hoop, and tried to be fancy.....
I have to say we have been closing out on their three point shooters as well as I've ever seen us do...DEFINITELY need to keep that up.
Matthew Lillard is good.
no iso ball, and clips scoring. People moving
Now we're seeing some good team basketball.
Damn it, I meant Damian, LOL.
I know. Not much you can do about that shot.
Bledsoe, why don't you practice shooting during the offseason?
Turiaf? Post move?!?
Man, it's been a while since we murdered a team.
Damn Neil, keep picking a good point guard. Should we trade Bledsoe for Lillard? I want him too!
turiaf with some beautiful post moves
Now people are seeing what I always suspected. Blake needs more time with the ball and more touches and he will DOMINATE. CP3 needs to be less ball dominant and work the ball to Blake in better spots. It's no coincidence that Blake has averaged 23.3 ppg, 10 rpg, 6.5 apg, 2.5 spg and 1.5 bpg on elite efficiency since CP3 has been out.
Finally back to Clippers basketball.
Vinny sucks. Blake just asked to go back in and Vinny pointed Blake back to the bench. Let the dude pad his stats... all other stars do it.
Sure, let risk him getting injured during a beatdown. Great idea.
Turiaf making use of those minutes.
i still have a bitter taste in my mouth from last night. this win would have felt way better if we closed last nights game out.
Hate to say it but Turiaf is so much more solid than DJ on both ends of the court
Sure, let risk him getting injured during a beatdown. Great idea.
Let the big dog get his 30 point triple double. Will be great for his confidence.
man, lamar is a rebounding machine. No need for REGGIE REGGIE REGGIE chant
See, according to Charles Barkley "imposing your will" on the game is grabbing a bunch of rebounds as he used to do back in the day. The problem is Barkley never worked as hard on the defensive end as Blake has the last couple of years. Sure, BG didn't grab a lot of boards tonight...but do you think he imposed his will?

ANN ARBOR -- Meeting with his team early Thursday, John Beilein began with examples of overlooked teams overcoming road environments.
Twenty-four hours before Michigan's meeting with Purdue at Crisler Center, No. 14 Wisconsin fell flat in a 65-56 loss to Northwestern at Kohl Center and No. 24 Ohio State laid a scarlet and grey egg at Value City Arena in a 71-70 loss to lowly Penn State.
Both Northwestern and Penn State began the night with sub-.500 records.
"We just didn't want that to be us," Michigan's Caris LeVert said late Thursday.
Michigan didn't bring its A-game against Purdue. For stretches, it didn't look like its B-game or C-game, either. Turnovers piled up to the tune of a season-high 16 for the game. Often perfectly in sync for much of last week's three wins over a trio of top-10 teams, the Wolverines were seen sputtering.
But as good teams that want to be great tend to do, Michigan found a way.
A 75-66 win over the visiting Boilermakers wasn't a masterpiece. It didn't have to be. It needed to be a victory for 10th-ranked Michigan -- the team's 10th-win in a row, to be exact -- and that's all it was.
"As you could see (Wednesday) night -- two teams at home, two teams that hope to be at the top of the league -- lost at home," Beilein said. "It's going to be a battle all year long, so we're pleased that we could keep our heads above water tonight."
In reality, they did more than that. Michigan (16-4, 8-0 Big Ten) shot 60.9 percent from the field, including 15-of-22 second half shots. Four players -- LeVert (14 points), Nik Stauskas (16), Derrick Walton Jr. (14) and Jordan Morgan (11) -- finished in double-figures. Purdue (13-8, 3-5) was held to 43.1 percent shooting.
The good outweighed the bad, but the bad were there and was noticeable.
Michigan still won.
"I don't recall the last time one of our teams won with 16 turnovers," Beilein said, later adding, "I praised the team for sticking in there and fighting through the adversity that we had. … I mean, we dribbled off our foot, we didn't catch the ball, we were losing the ball out of bounds."
Midway through Thursday's first half, the stench shared in Columbus and Happy Valley on Wednesday started creeping into Ann Arbor.
An early 18-8 Michigan lead vanished. The Boilermakers were on an 11-0 run and leading by one with 8:18 left till halftime.
The Wolverines struck back with a little over four minutes left in the first half. A 6-0 spurt came via a Glenn Robinson III pull-up jumper, a Walton layup and a dunk by Jon Horford.
Looking to stretch its lead back to double-figures, U-M instead gave up a few buckets and held a 35-29 lead with 4.5 seconds till half.
Walton's name was called to snatch some good vibes for the second half. Peeling off a screen, the freshman point guard dribbled seven times and covered about 60 feet of court in 4 seconds and dropped in a layup.
"It was a big momentum swing because the game was kind of back and forth," Walton said. "So for us to get that last bucket before the buzzer sounds was big for us as a team."
It carried over. Michigan made eight of its first nine second-half field goals to build a 56-39 lead with 12 minutes, 45 seconds left.
That was more than enough.
Winning ugly? Beilein said there's no such thing. Given its three-game slaying of top-10 teams, Thursday was a day to win and move on.
"The concern that all coaches have is, if you have a week that we had last week -- it's such a different world today with the attention they're going to get," Beilein said. "But it's done. It's over. I don't think that Wisconsin or Ohio State lost games because they (overlooked Northwestern and Penn State). Other teams are good in this league. They're really good.
"If you lose a game, make sure it's because you lost it because the other team was better than you, not that you didn't take that game seriously."

Malik, Tanveer-ul- Hassan (2009) Development a Computer Based Instructional Material Model for Teacher training at Allama Iqbal Open University. PhD thesis, Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad.
The objectives of the study were: to review the role of computers as instructional material in teacher-training programmes at AIOU; to identify the role of computers as instructional materials by resource persons/tutors/academicians in classrooms of teacher training programmes at AIOU; to specify the role of computers as instructional material by students of teacher training programme of AIOU Islamabad; to develop a computers based instructional material model for teachers-training programmes of AIOU and to integrate computer instructions and the teacher training programmes at AIOU. The study was descriptive (survey-type) in nature. It was conducted through the offices of the DNFE and Dean of Faculty of Education. Prior to the actual study, pilot study was conducted in May of 2002. Three types of the questionnaire were developed by the researcher and these were piloted on a small sample. The instruments were improved in terms of language, content, format and style. A few of the items were either changed or removed. Questionnaires were sent to the scholars and researchers in the field of education for the purpose of validation. Final study was conducted in the Fall of 2003. Out of 750 mailed questionnaires 425 were received back. The respose rate remained percent. Amaster sheet was used to collect data. Each response choice was given a numerical value. Questionnaire for the students contained three parts. First part was to collect demographic data. Second part consisted of 54 closed-ended questions. Questions were formulated in the form of Likert scale. Third part contained open-ended questions in order to find the opinion of the students. Questionnaire consisted of several sections according to various aspects of the computer based instructional material model. The other two questionnaires were formulated for academicians and tutors in order to verify the information collected from student questionnaire. The findings revealed that there was a need to use more computers based instructional material in education. It was found that computer technology plays a pivotal role in teacher training programmes in the distance learning system. The respondents were of the view that in the future age of technology, it is important to prepare teachers who could use computer based instructional material in their classes. It was also considered effective to use email and Internet. To realize importance of computer based instructional materials most of the respondents agreed to have computers in all the classrooms for all the students and stressed to modify curriculum and textbooks according to the use of computer based instructional material. Resource person and instructors were considered to have the power to plan and set time to use computer based instruction material. Experts like academicians, resource persons and tutors need to verify the information gathered from student questionnaires.

Senlis Council: Afghan Government Throws Out Senlis Council
Karzai's government has been undermined by failing US policies in Afghanistan
"The policies implemented by the US-led international community over the past five years have not only failed, they have undermined the creation of a legitimate government in the eyes of many Afghans," said Emmanuel Reinert, Executive Director of The Senlis Council. "The current US administration has demonstrated a spectacular success in regime change, and a spectacular failure in nation building."
Karzai's government has been undermined by failing US policies in Afghanistan
US-led forced poppy crop eradication is fuelling support for rise of Taliban insurgency
US bombing campaigns undermine Afghan population's support for US troops
Many Afghans perceive that Karzai is being forced to run a 'puppet government' for the US
US should confront Pakistan on relationship with the Taliban
LONDON - On the occasion of the Afghan President Hamid Karzai's visit to the United States, The Senlis Council, an international security and development think tank said that if the crisis situation in Afghanistan is to be defused, the United States administration must dramatically alter its current approach in Afghanistan. The Taliban insurgency, opium cultivation and poverty are all on the rise due to failing US policies.
"The policies implemented by the US-led international community over the past five years have not only failed, they have undermined the creation of a legitimate government in the eyes of many Afghans," said Emmanuel Reinert, Executive Director of The Senlis Council. "The current US administration has demonstrated a spectacular success in regime change, and a spectacular failure in nation building."
Senlis said that the five years of compounded failures in Afghanistan from ineffective US-led strategies that provoke anger and dissatisfaction within the Afghan community have actually undermined Karzai's government because they had not taken into account the needs of the Afghan population. Misguided priorities from the outset meant that the US failed to provide a successful reconstruction programme in Afghanistan.
"Right from 2001, the US-led international community's priorities for Afghanistan were not in line with those of the Afghan population," said Emmanuel Reinert, Executive Director of The Senlis Council. "It is a classic military error: they did not properly identify the enemy. The first enemy is poverty."
Window of opportunity for creating a durable peace opened in 2001 is closing now
Many Afghans have not seen their lives change for the better since the US-led invasion in 2001. Despite the international community's assurance that it is there to help, according to Senlis field workers' interviews, much of the Afghan population considers the situation worse now than five years ago. Locals have seen crop eradication destroy their livelihoods and their villages being bombed, which has resulted in lost support for the Karzai government in favour of the Taliban.
Karzai is rapidly loosing support due to destructive US policies
Initially, Karzai was an admired leader, but his popularity in the south is steadily being lost through no fault of his own as he is perceived to be linked to US interventions such as crop eradication or the bombing of civilians.
"This has meant that Karzai and his government are bearing the brunt for what are essentially failures of the US approach," said Reinert. "The increasing number of civilian deaths and injuries from the US bombing campaigns in the South has directly contributed to the disintegration of the local population's support for the international community and its' troops, and decreased support for President Karzai and his government."
"Prioritising the 'war on terror' over the 'war on poverty' has recreated the exact situation we intended to deal with in southern Afghanistan," said Reinert. "It has recreated the safe haven for terrorism that the 2001 invasion aimed to destroy."
"When you first came here we were so glad to see you. Now we have lived with you in our country for five years and we see you tell a lot of lies and make a lot of false promises. You are very good at telling lies to your own people as well. Maybe we don't care if you decide to tell lies to each other about what you are doing in our country, but don't expect us to believe them." a villager from Kandahar province is quoted as saying in Senlis Afghanistan's recent report, Afghanistan Five Years Later: The Return of the Taliban.
The three US policies which have provoked the most anger in Afghanistan are forced poppy crop eradication, the bombing and raids of civilians and villages, and the lack of real economic assistance at the local level. The researchers found that the US-led international community was welcomed in 2001 but as a result of these damaging policies and wrong policy sequencing, the window of opportunity for a positive collaboration that was open in 2001 has for the most part been closed. Now Afghans in the south believe that the US is in fact running a puppet government in Kabul - like the Russians before them - and that President Karzai is being politically forced by the US to accept these destructive policies.
Poverty relief and starvation response must be top priority
Misplaced priorities from the US-led international community have led to widespread poverty and a growing hunger crisis in southern Afghanistan. Senlis field researchers discovered that makeshift refugee camps have been springing up across the southern half of Afghanistan - some just 30 minutes from international military bases.
In these unregistered camps, where foreign aid workers have never been seen, a starvation crisis has taken a grip, especially among the young. "I took my child to the graveyard, my child died of hunger. There are children dying here," said a man in one of these camps in Kandahar City.
"Hunger leads to anger and resentment. People think the international community is doing nothing to help them," said Reinert. "This situation plays directly into the hand of the political propaganda of Al Qaeda and the Taliban - the West vs Islam. To counteract this, we need to positively engage with the local populations to prove we are there to help."
Comparing some areas of Afghanistan to 'scenes more usually found in poverty-stricken Africa', Reinert stressed the need to make poverty relief the top priority if reconstruction efforts are to be successful in the country.
"Up until now, the international community's efforts have not effectively addressed the true needs of the Afghan population," said Reinert. "What the majority of Afghans in rural communities need is food and water. An immediate injection of poverty relief must be the top priority. If a stable, prosperous Afghanistan is to be built and the Karzai government supported, the Afghan people need to be helped, not hindered - and they need to be a part of that effort. "
82 billion USD spent on military operations compared with just 7 billion on development
Under US leadership, development and poverty relief have taken a back seat - until now, military spending has taken priority, with 82 billion USD spent on military operations in Afghanistan since 2002, compared with just 7 billion USD on aid and development. The US military forces should be used to supply security for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) projects to provide development aid in Afghanistan, especially in the south, where poverty levels are extreme.
"You spent millions of dollars on this election and nothing on food for the poor," the member of parliament for Helmand province is quoted as saying about the parliamentary elections of last year, in the latest Senlis report.
Poverty-relief should be a priority from a humanitarian point of view, and should also be used to create a positive response to the US military presence in Afghanistan. World Food Programme have warned that 2.5 million people are facing food shortages if they do not receive assistance, and the United Nations and the Afghan Government launched a joint appeal in July for US $76 million. This is a request they have been making repeatedly to the international community.
"USAID does excellent work all over the world," said Reinert. "In Afghanistan their impact is being hindered because their work is not considered to be the absolute first priority.
The United States should stop forced poppy eradication - it has directly contributed to the rising levels of insurgency and to the starvation crisis
The forced eradication of poppy crops - one of the main counter-narcotics strategies used in Afghanistan at present and heavily backed by the US - should be stopped.
"The United States should stop pushing for poppy-crop eradication," said Reinert. "It is a failing, destructive policy and is also largely responsible for the starvation crisis and the return of the Taliban in the South.
"The eradication campaigns created hostility towards the US and NATO Coalition troops in Afghanistan and are endangering their missions there," said Reinert.
Many Afghan farmers have turned to the Taliban who are offering protection to farmers from forced poppy eradication. In this way, support for the Taliban has increased. Senlis Afghanistan field researchers found that the Taliban now have de facto control the southern half of Afghanistan, and the US policies in Afghanistan are directly responsible for the resurgence of the Taliban.
Pakistani elements behind resurgence of Taliban
Although many of the new Taliban are young Afghans recruited from the disillusioned districts of the southern provinces, there is substantial Taliban funding, training and support from Pakistani elements.
Economic and social indicators show a dramatic increase in de facto control from Pakistani insurgent elements in some areas of the Pashto Belt - the Southern half of Afghanistan, with little political response from the US.
"The vacuum created by the loss of confidence in the international community and control of the central government provides the opportunity for certain pro-Taliban Pakistani elements to step in and gain control," said Reinert. "The US and Pakistan are supposedly close allies: The US should confront Pakistan directly on their relationship with the Taliban. The US should place more pressure on Pakistan to clamp down on the Taliban support bases in Pakistan and resolve this issue."

Web Design/ CODING, where to start?
I wanted to learn how to make websites. For instance something like TS, unfortunetly I don't know where to start. I don't know any coding languages. I want to go to college for it, but I fear that I'm going to be way below everyone, and end up either failing the class, or passing and not learning anything. Where should I start for the basics?

|Fractional Change in [PTH] in CKD After a 4-week Course of Sevelamer Carbonate [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
This outcome measure documented the effect of intestinal phosphate-binding on [PTH]. Fractional change was calculated as ([PTH]post - [PTH]pre)/[PTH]pre, where 'pre' and 'post' referred respectively to baseline [PTH] (before treatment) and [PTH] after four weeks of treatment. Reductions were cited as negative numbers, and increments were cited as positive numbers.

|The Effect of Sevelamer Carbonate on Critical Variables in the Pathogenesis of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
|Brief Summary
|The hypothesis underlying this study is that phosphate interferes with PTH-mediated calcium reabsorption in the distal nephron and thereby necessitates supranormal [PTH]to maintain normocalcemia in chronic kidney disease. This study will examine the hypothesis with measures of phosphate homeostasis and calcium reabsorption. A double-blind trial of the intestinal phosphate binder sevelamer carbonate will be employed to examine whether reductions in phosphate influx alter distal nephron phosphate concentration and the [PTH] required for calcium reabsorption in the expected manner.

Discussion in 'Handguns: Autoloaders' started by AirPower, Sep 25, 2005.
Just wondering if one is better than another for some good 'ol time cheap plinking?
I've shot the Walther P22 and the Beretta U22 Neos. Both are entry level .22LR pistols. Do not expect higher end performace from either one. If you go to http://www.rimfirecentral.com/ you will find both have their adherents and detractors. Somewhere in the Beretta forum there is a link to a step by step trigger job for the Neos.
FWIW, I thought I'd get a P22 but after firing several, I was unimpressed. I have heard that that they can be finicky regarding ammo choice. With the Neos, I was happy with how it did. I think its safety is in a poor place, but generally speaking, it's pretty good for an entry level .22LR. It even has an integrated rail for those who want to use optics. Additionally, the take down is a breeze when compared the Ruger. I don't think the Neos can be upgraded in the way you can upgrade a Ruger, but then again, it's not designed to be. It's simply an entry level plinker and it performs that role well.
That said, there may be one other thing you could take into your selection process, the cross compatibility of mags. Walther and Browning both make .22LR pistols where the mags from the pistols can be used in their .22LR rifles. (That is a cost saver.) Beretta has been promising for two or three years to release its Neos carbine kit which will allow users to do the same thing, but who knows when we'll see it. Good luck with your selection.
If the Neo or the P22 don't blow up your skirt, I would take a look at the Sig Trailside or Mosquito:
If you want polymer, the Sig Mosquito could be a good bet.
I own both the Walther P22 and Beretta Neos. I enjoy shooting both equally. I have had no problems with either. If forced to choose, I would buy both. Just my .02. Your mileage may vary.
The Neos is vastly superior in materials used and build quality and will shoot inexpensive bulk ammo.The Walther is a toy that may or may not work.
Olympic Arms Wolverine! Buy it! You will NOT be disappointed!
there are two reasons to buy a p22, in my opinion:
a: you intend to suppress it. they are VERY popular for this.
b: you intend to use it to introduce new shooters who have small hands.
they have issues with every type of ammo out there that i've tried, other than minimags (which cost more than i'm willing to pay to shoot a p22!). mine runs pretty much 100% with remington, but thunderbolts cause leading and golden bullets get copper flakes everywhere, and the casings are more likely to stick in the chamber. plus, remington seems to be less accurate in my gun. federal is slightly too long and slightly too weak to run reliably for me. winchester is between the two others, but causes leading and is dirty.
to put it all another way: i own a p22, and i'm presently trying to decide what to replace it with (either a trailside or a revolver). i'll keep it around for new shooters, though.
I own a Ruger 22/45 5.5 bull barrel. Very happy,great shooter,great price! JDGray
I purchased one a couple of years ago for my son, we have over 2,000 rds thru it with NO problems.
I own both the P22 and the Neos. I have had zero problems with either one, in feeding and reliability. Both are great pistols and are loads of fun to shoot.
I have a Sig Trailside when I play "bullseye." I use my Ruger Super Single 6 when I play "SA cowboy."
As for my Neos, I bought the entry-level and added the red dot for the sole purpose of plink! plink! plink! It hasn't let me down.
Buy the Neos if you want to play with optical sights. A Neos and a Red Dot sight rocks! Mine is reliable with all the cheap ammo -- Federal Champion, Remington Golden Bullet bulk-pak, Remington Thunderbolt, and Winchester Wildcat.
If you want to win matches buy neither.
The P22 is a good size to handle as an analog for a sub-compact defensive gun and like has been said, very good for new shooters with small hands. Only problem I've had with mine is the barrel nut kept working loose until I put blue loc-tite on it. Was reliable with all the above ammo except the most recent brick of Federal Champion doesn't cycle the slide enough to pick up the next rount most of the time. Bricks I bought last year worked fine. Not sure what is going on here.
I just went through the "which .22LR autoloader" process and ended up getting a Ruger MK III.
I wanted something that would be reliable, accurate, comfortable, and relatively inexpensive for mostly range work. I live in the city and don't see using it much outside, maybe just a few times a year. Consequently, it will go mostly from my house to the range in my range bag and not see much holser or backback time, if at all. So far I'm pretty happy with my decision, although my impression of the Browning Buckmark and Sig Trailside is that, anecdotally, they're in the same class as the Ruger.
I don't know much about the Neo, so I won't comment on it.
However, I did handle a P22 and believe that it's really a "Mini-Me" version of the P9X line and not really in the same class as the other, more full-sized .22s just mentioned. I think the P22--even the longer barreled version--is best suited to a lightweight backpack weapon that could easily be transported due to its small size and light weight. If that's your bag (sorry for the second Austin Powers reference), then the P22 is really a standout and has no equal.
But according to my research, the P22 is not a very strong competitor for target work at the range compared to other models. The P22 is not likely to be as accurate and is said to be fussy with ammunition. It does look cool, though, and it could be the best .22LR autoloader for smaller hands.
You will have to decide for yourself, though.
Good luck
Guns that I've shot
1x Beretta NEO, flawless and accurate
1x Sig Trailside, flawless and the most accurate (best trigger too)
Many Rugers, flawless and accurate
3x Walther P22s, all consistantly malfunctioned and were inaccurate
In fact (except for my Dad's RG10) the P22 gets my nod as the biggest piece of crap I've ever shot.
Definitely a NEO over the P22

Crews have found no indication of any spill or release from a Norfolk Southern Corp. train after seven cars derailed a little before noon Saturday in Swatara Twp., Dave Pidgeon, a company spokesman, said.
"There are no vapors, no smells, no indication whatsoever that the cars themselves have been compromised," he said.
Though, it's unclear what is inside the tankers lying on their sides. Pidgeon said the company typically does not discuss the consists of individual trains.
Now, a train contractor must get the cars back on the tracks. Hulcher Services of New Oxford, a nationwide railroad contractor, arrived at the scene about 3:30 p.m. for that work.
Pidgeon said he's confident crews will be able to do that without further incident, such as damage to the cars or a release.
There also is some damage to the track, which is owned by Norfolk Southern.
Norfolk Southern will be investigating the cause of the derailment. But Pidgeon did not have a timetable for how long that would take.
"What typically happens with derailments like these is we will investigate, determine a cause and then file a report with the Federal Railroad Administration," Pidgeon said.
The company would have to turn in that report by the end of September.
The train's rear seven cars derailed about 11:50 a.m. as the train was pulling out of the yard. Pidgeon said the incident happened at the Rutherford Siding — which is parallel to Grayson Road near Mushroom Hill Road — where the company stages trains and prepares them to move out.
The train includes 62 cars and two locomotives and was heading to another train yard in King of Prussia.
The derailment did not block any crossings, and no one was injured in the incident, Pidgeon said. There were three Norfolk Southern personnel on the lead locomotive.
This isn't the first time this year Norfolk Southern got media attention for a train derailment. On April 14, another Norfolk Southern train derailed in Lancaster on the overpass that runs over the Harrisburg Pike.

QuakeKare.Com's Deluxe Emergency Kit
QuakeKare.com offers a deluxe emergency kit that contains everything you and your family will need in an emergency situation.
Our Emergency Ready™ (ER) Products are approved by the US Coast Guard to retain a shelf life of five years, so there is no need to re-purchase perishable items such as water and our food bars, which contain enough nutrients and calories for three entire days.
Among the other items in our Deluxe Emergency Kit is a 52-piece First Aid Kit, which contains all the items you will need to handle most first aid situations.
One of the post popular items in this featured emergency kit is the hand crank radio. No emergency kit should be without one. Once cranked, this radio will work for hours uninterrupted so you will receive all the latest news regardless of power outages. This radio is great for just regular black outs, too. Just don't forget to put it back into your emergency kit when you are finished using it.
Once you have purchased the Emergency Kit, you can also purchase the Accessory Kits, designed for specific needs, such as an Earthquake or Child Safety.
Ideally, you want all the supplies you can think of in an emergency kit. You can add on as you go along. For example, purchase the deluxe emergency kit and then add the Child Safety and Pet Kit the following month.
It's better to cover all bases, since no one can predict what type of disaster or emergency will strike and when. In California there is a saying: "It's not if a big earthquake will strike, but when." So, if you live in California, you may want to purchase the Deluxe Emergency Kit and then the Earthquake Kit right afterward, if you are on a limited budget.
Or, you can purchase Deluxe Emergency Kits for your home, car and school/work and then accessorize shortly thereafter. One thing is certain; you can not have enough items to place in your emergency kit and you can never start collecting soon enough all the things you need before an emergency presents itself!
Remember to prepare your emergency kit and stay safe!

VINELAND — As Cumberland County continues to be blanketed by snow, city officials warn residents not to go outside unless it is completely necessary.
Although the forecast is calling for less snow than previous estimates, according to Vineland Fire Department Chief Robert Pagnini, meteorologists are still anticipating around half-a-foot of snow tonight. There will also be strong winds and low temperatures, which will cause snow drifts and ice to build up.
Despite putting salt down on the roads, according to the city, ice will still form on the roads because of the extremely cold temperatures.
As of 4:30 p.m., according to Vineland Police Chief Timothy Codispoti, there has already been half-a-dozen accidents reported in the city from slippery conditions. In order to ensure the safety of residents, Codispoti echoed the fire chief's advice to drive into the snow.
The low temperatures also cause a danger to residents, with frostbite a reality for those caught in the elements. To help Vineland's homeless population, according to Mayor Ruben Bermudez, two Code Blue stations have been opened up in the city for shelter.
The stations are located at the Trinity Episcopal Church on Wood Street and the First Presbyterian Church on 8th Street and Landis Avenue.
Residents should also check on their neighbors, especially if they are elderly, according to Vineland EMS Chief Al Lincks.
Anticipating the snow to cause a delay, emergency responders are staffing an extra ambulance.
Trucks from the department of public works began putting brine out around 9 p.m. Monday, according to the mayor, in an effort to help drivers on their commute.
Learning a lesson from the snowstorm earlier this month, Bermudez has made sure that public works employees give a detailed log of their responsibilities and to keep track of where plow trucks are going.
The city itself has five plow trucks and the Vineland Municipal Utilities has loaned seven trucks to the city that can be used to plow.
Because of the snow storm, Gov. Chris Christie issued a state of emergency Tuesday afternoon.
Cumberland County Freeholder Director Joseph Derella also signed a declaration of adverse road conditions Tuesday afternoon, which allows plow drivers to exceed federally mandate work hours.
The previously scheduled Vineland City Council work session was canceled because of the snow and rescheduled for Jan. 23 at 5 p.m. Millville City Commission also moved their Tuesday night meeting to Jan. 28 because of the snow.
Vineland Public School cancelled all of its athletic activities Tuesday night and Wednesday athletic activities were rescheduled to Thursday.
Also, because of the storm, Bermudez announced that Vineland City Hall will be closed on Wednesday, except for necessary personnel.

The band has been practicing at Convention Hall for most of this week. Jay Weinberg, the son of E Street drummer Max Weinberg, has been spotted at the venue, too, leading to speculation among fans that he might sub for Max at shows that the senior Weinberg, who leads Conan O'Brien's talk-show house band, can't make. O'Brien will replace Jay Leno as host of "The Tonight Show," June 1.
Jay Weinberg capably played drums on one song, "Born To Run," at a July 28, 2008 Springsteen concert at Giants Stadium.
There is a two-ticket limit, per person, for the rehearsal shows, and customers can buy tickets for only one night. Tickets will not be mailed, but can be picked up at the shows. Two forms of ID will be necessary.
Springsteen will also be among the artists appearing at a concert that will celebrate folk icon Pete Seeger's 90th birthday and raise money for the environmental organization he founded, Clearwater. It takes place at Madison Square Garden on Seeger's birthday, May 3, and will feature dozens of other artists, including Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder, John Mellencamp, Emmylou Harris, Ani DiFranco, Juanes, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Michael Franti, Taj Mahal, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Kris Kristofferson, Warren Haynes, Tom Morello, Richie Havens, Steve Earle and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.
Titled "The Clearwater Concert: Creating the Next Generation of Environmental Leaders," the show will "focus on ensemble renditions of musical treasures inspired by Pete Seeger," according to a press release.
Tickets are $19.19-$250, with the majority priced at $90. There will be a pre-sale for American Express cardholders at 9 a.m. Monday; visit americanexpress.com/entertainment. The public on-sale will be at 9 a.m. March 30; visit ticketmaster.com. More information is available at seeger90.com.

The Woman Behind the New GMO-Free Meat Label
In June, Claire Herminjard, a purveyor of organic grassfed beef, received some great news. After nearly a year of making her way through red tape and government paperwork, and collaborating with several other food companies, the news broke that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had approved a new label for GMO-free meat. As a result, the owner of Northern California-based Mindful Meats could finally use the Non-GMO Project Verified label on her beef. Read more
Record-breaking One Million Americans Tell FDA: We Have a Right to Know What's in Our Food
The Just Label It (JLI) Campaign announced today that a record-breaking one million Americans of all political persuasions have called on the FDA to label genetically engineered (GE) foods. Today, March 27, is the date that the FDA is required to respond to the petition. It took JLI and its more than 500 partner organizations less than 180 days to accumulate an historic number of public comments—a testament to the power of collective voices to demand our right to know what's in our food. (I've written about the campaign before here, here, and here.) Read more

And not a single f*** was given that day...
And how would you fix duping? For that matter I dont know how much they can do to stop the modders, They fixed some of the modded weapon stuff in BL1 but as the parts showed as correct they had no way to stop the Uber 1 shot weapons. Its not always a matter of being unwilling, sometimes its simply a matter of unable to do anything about the situation. They may be able to set hard caps on stats but I would bet the modders would find ways around that too. tl:dr Don't blame the company for bad players actions
if theyre not going to do anything about cheaters **** em.I already regret paying for the season pass and we're not even at the second dlc. Solo is getting boring after 3 chars and cant go online because of all the dupebabies(and most of my friends either got a ps3 or dont like shooters)

USB Fellowships Add New Crop of Soy Researchers
Date Posted: September 27, 2012
St. Louis—The pool of strong U.S. soy researchers just got a little deeper thanks to the soybean research fellowships program of the United Soybean Board (USB)/soy checkoff.
The checkoff awarded fellowships to two students who have been recently accepted into doctoral programs emphasizing improvements to U.S. soybeans.
The two students will receive $25,000 annual stipends over four years.
"It's important to actively seek out future researchers and nudge them toward focusing on soybean research," says Jim Schriver, chair of the soy checkoff's production program and a soybean farmer from Bluffton, Ind.
"With so many veteran soy researchers retiring, or planning to retire soon, it's important that a new generation fills their shoes.
"These fellowships are just one way that U.S. soybean farmers can help ensure that soy research keeps moving forward."
This year's crop of future soy researchers yielded two soy checkoff-funded fellowship recipients: Zachary King and Eric Wilson.
• Zachary King continues the pursuit of his Ph.D. at the University of Georgia's Institute of Plant Breeding, Genetics & Genomics, where he earned a Master of Science degree.
King's work centers on obtaining novel resistance to soybean rust and marker-assisted selection of breeding lines.
In addition to the USB fellowship, the University of Georgia graduate school also awarded him grants for his work on rust resistance and genotyping.
King will study under the watchful eye of veteran soybean researcher Roger Boerma, Ph.D., a longtime USB partner who specializes in soybean breeding and genomics.
• Eric Wilson is working toward his doctorate in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics at the University of Minnesota. He began his Ph.D. program this summer, studying soybean production and physiology under the advisement of Seth Naeve, Ph.D. Wilson earned his Bachelor of Science degree in agronomy from Iowa State University in 2010 and his Master of Science degree in agronomy from Purdue University in 2012.
At Iowa State, Eric gained agricultural experience through corn breeding and production internships with DuPont Pioneer and the Iowa State Corn Extension Program.
"Eric and Zachary represent the top-level students in ag science," says Schriver.
"It's good to know that they're focusing their research on U.S. soy.
"Whether investigating new options for production management or finding new genes for improved varieties, their research ultimately benefits every U.S. soybean farmer."
Soy checkoff dollars have supported graduate fellowships focused on soy research since 2007.
