BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns have plenty of things to worry about before the season opener Sept. 12 in Tampa, but quarterback Jake Delhomme isn't one of them.
Delhomme, who's expected to sit out most of Thursday night's preseason finale against the Bears, has exceeded expectations this preseason. He's completing 79.2 percent of his passes, (38-of-48 for 345 yards), has thrown two touchdowns without an interception, has been sacked only once and has earned a quarterback rating of 110.5.
In Detroit, he put points on the board on three of his five possessions, counting the one-play drive on a lost fumble.
"He's been outstanding the whole preseason," said coach Eric Mangini. "He's pretty close to 80 percent completion, and the way that he runs the offense and gets us into a good play when we're not necessarily in the best situation, that's what I'm looking for out of our quarterback -- to be efficient and also be a really good decision-maker."
In one half of work in Detroit, Delhomme completed 20 of 25 attempts for 152 yards with one touchdown for a 105.3 rating. He spread the ball around out of the no-huddle offense to 10 receivers, hitting Mohammed Massaquoi with a seven-yard pass on a fourth and 2, Evan Moore with a 22-yarder, Brian Robiskie with a 23-yarder and Josh Cribbs with a impressive 30-yarder up the left sideline that led to a TD.
"Jake has been amazing," said Cribbs, who adeptly kept both feet inbounds. "He's really grasped the scheme and is now able to take Brian Daboll's offense to the next level. He's very efficient in the passing game and does a great job of spreading the ball around."
One sequence in particular will go a long way toward endearing Delhomme to Browns teammates and fans. On third and 8 at the Detroit 16, Lions rookie lineman Ndamukong Suh crashed in and grabbed Delhomme's facemask, then twisted his head and flung him to the ground. Delhomme popped up fuming and protesting, and Suh was flagged for a personal foul, which gave the Browns a first and goal at the 8.
Delhomme fumbled the snap on the next play, and Peyton Hillis recovered for a 3-yard gain to the 5. Despite adversity on back-to-back plays, a composed Delhomme found Lawrence Vickers wide open in the right flat for a 5-yard TD pass that put the Browns up, 17-7.
"'He's a cocky young fella," Jerome Harrison said of Delhomme, 35. "He's still got a lot of jazz to him. He's a quarterback that you know has your back through thick and thin. You've got to love him."
Despite the rag-doll treatment from Suh, Delhomme was happy with its outcome.
"It's good to get hit like that," he said. "The juices get really flowing and it's great because I think it was third and long and we got a first down. Anytime we can move the chains, we'll take it anyway we can get it."
Delhomme successfully sidestepped pressure and threw the ball away instead of taking the sack. On his opening drive, he was pressured from behind on third and goal and fired the ball beyond the end zone. The Browns settled for a field goal.
"You just try to work the offense and let the offense work for you," said Delhomme. "Take what they give you and that's a big thing I'm trying to do. I'm trying to take the checkdowns, not trying to force it. Brian [Daboll] does a good job, the guys are in the right spot and that makes it nice."
Delhomme has also done well with the no-huddle, which the Browns figure to run frequently this season.
"We're trying to make it be [an asset]," he said. "We practice at a fast tempo and it really does help. Guys are in decent shape and we're going to have to be. We're going to Tampa opening day and it's going to be warm."
Delhomme has also done something that Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson seemed incapable of last season: Make the young skill players around him better.
"He does a great job of telling us what he expects of us," said Massaquoi. "He understands the game so well that it helps me and the other receivers understand it a lot better than we have."
Thanks to the good preseason work, which included 44 plays in Detroit, Delhomme feels almost ready for the season.
"Absolutely," he said. "We still have to keep moving forward, but we've been at it for well over a month and you're getting antsy, yes."
McCoy reprimanded: Rookie Colt McCoy was chastised by Mangini and Daboll on the sidelines after botching the final two plays of the game, a short pass with 26 seconds left and no timeouts that kept the clock running and a deep pass out of bounds on the final play instead of flinging it into the end zone.
"He's still growing," said Mangini. "On that short pass, you just throw it away and go to the next play. On the last play, whether there are receivers there or not, you throw it up in the end zone and see what happens. You don't throw it out of bounds. I'm chalking it up to age and inexperience and we'll get that fixed."
Sorensen resting: Safety Nick Sorensen, who absorbed a double hit to the head, visited the Browns' training facility Sunday morning and then went home to rest. He still had a headache, but was otherwise fine, a source said. It's not yet been announced whether he suffered a concussion.

So, you finally got a piece of ornamental sculpture for your garden.
Now what? Where do you put it to show it to best advantage?
Caroline Tilston, author of "Low Maintenance Gardens" (John Wiley & Sons, $16.95) has these tips for placing a sculpture:
-- It's difficult to get a piece to work as the center of a garden unless the scale and setting are exactly right. It's safer to position the sculpture to one side as something visitors will come across, rather than to give it center stage.
-- If you are making a sculpture your centerpiece, choose the sculpture to fit your garden or change your garden to fit the sculpture.
-- Light the piece so it can be enjoyed after dark as well as in daylight.
-- Consider putting a seat or bench nearby to offer a perfect vantage point.
-- Don't put more than one sculpture on display in a small area or it will look like a gallery. Use hedges, walls or fences to separate art works.
-- Graze studios or art shows to find something unique for your garden. Visit sculpture parks to see how art can fit into landscapes.

STURGIS, MI – A man who was demonstrating a Kirby vacuum cleaner in a St. Joseph County home stole items from a victim's purse during the demonstration.
The incident happened in the 61000 block of Filmore Road around 2 p.m. Friday. A man knocked on a door, handed the victim a can of Glade air freshener and said he wanted to demonstrate his vacuum cleaner.
The man pulled into the victim's driveway with another man in a small SUV/Crossover type vehicle that was red. The man driving the car left and said he would be back to pick up the demonstrator, according to a news release from the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office.
During the demonstration, the suspect asked to use the bathroom. He walked down a hall, stole the victim's purse from another room and took it into the bathroom, according to police.
He took a social security card, two credit cards and $200 to $300 in cash, stuffed the purse under the bathroom sink and went back to finish the demonstration, according to police.
The suspect is described as being in his 20s, thin, average height, having short black hair, clean cut and wearing dark clothes. He stated he was from the South Bend area, according to police.
The victim did not purchase a vacuum. Police ask anyone with information to call 269-467-9045 extension 307.

By: Alex Case |Audience: All|Category: Learning English
While most students want to be able to read an authentic text such as a real newspaper article, even very Advanced level learners can find reading it in the limited time given in class a challenge. Some students therefore wonder why the teacher doesn't give difficult texts for homework when students have more time to read it slowly or just give easier texts. If you think your teacher should give you easier texts, you could be right! Most teaching experts agree that carefully graded texts are usually better for language learning. If you are in a special position such as needing to read articles for your work or studies, however, you might need lots of help reading properly. Reading slowly with a dictionary at home is not the best way of learning good reading skills. Even if you don't have a special reason to read in English, there are good reasons for using difficult authentic texts in class occasionally. Some of the good reasons are listed below. You can compare this list with the list of bad reasons for using difficult authentic texts in class and decide whether you think your teacher has the right balance in your class.
If your teacher uses a difficult authentic text sometimes for one of the good reasons above and uses that as an opportunity to teach you specific reading skills, you should put in the extra effort needed knowing that it will be good for your English study. If you still find yourself struggling with difficult texts almost every lesson though, it might be that more use of graded texts for someone your level would be better for a while. You might want to suggest this to your teacher or school management if one of the bad reasons for using authentic texts below is true for your class.

Residents of one of Manchester's largest Jewish communities have condemned plans to stage a series of local rock festivals for a potential audience of well over one million.
At the end of the month, Manchester City Council will decide on an application for the 45 days of concerts in Heaton Park, close to the thousands of Jewish families living in Prestwich.
It would allow nine concerts for up to 80,000 people, nine for a 50,000 audience and a further 27 for a 20,000 crowd. All events would have a full alcohol licence. In 2009, more than 210,000 fans attended an Oasis concert at Heaton Park.
The projected festivals would generate extra revenue for the city council, which runs the park. It does not have to count objections from Prestwich residents in official consultations because they come under neighbouring Bury Council's jurisdiction.
Annette Woolfe, who lives metres from the park, attacked the "ridiculous" proposal. She had attended the Oasis concert, but said it had affected parking for miles around and there was the additional issue of thousands of fans roaming ordinarily quiet streets.
"We had people weeing in our front garden after the concert because there weren't enough toilet facilities. Local pubs and shops had massive queues of people buying booze and there was drinking and drugs all around the park," she noted.
Bury councillor Wilf Davison said his council's objections had been ignored by Manchester. "There's not a great deal more we can do. It's gone too far now."
But fellow councillor Steve Wright, who represents large swathes of the Prestwich Jewish community, anticipated protests. "I am asking residents to continue to make objections and when the committee meeting comes we will be having a presence there to oppose it."
Raymond Solomon, UKIP candidate for Councillor Wright's ward, reported widespread anger from Jewish residents as he canvassed for the local elections. "People are not happy. The religious Jewish community don't want it, but this issue really crosses religious lines. The feeling is to stop it now before the council start putting events on every month."
Manchester City Council head of sports and leisure Eamonn O'Rourke said money generated from the concerts would be reinvested in the park.
"As always, we will work closely with residents, neighbouring authorities and partners such as Greater Manchester Police to ensure that these events run smoothly. A consultation on this licensing application is currently under way and we welcome all views from members of the public."

German Lawsuit Loss Forces Apple to Cut Verboten iPad, iPhone Feature
Jason Mick
February 24, 2012 11:08 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Push-email is likely gone from the iCloud for at least a year
It is a small thing. But as Apple, Inc. (
) well knows, it is the little things that sell a product.
I. Bye Bye Bye
Apple had
proudly unveiled the iCloud
in mid-2011. The service offers photo streaming, documents "in the cloud", automated backups, and push email/calendar/contacts. Well, for Germany, Europe's third largest tablet and smartphone market, the good times are over, as the push email functionality is officially banned.
After new Google Inc. (
Motorola Mobility
secured a preliminary injunction
just weeks ago in German court, Apple failed to convince a judge to inflate the bond. As a result, Motorola paid the bond to carry through with the ban. Some sources are estimating that bond could have cost around €100M ($134.1M USD).
The iCloud's core push-email is verboten in Germany. [Image Source: 9 to 5 Mac]
Left with little recourse, Apple was left doing the same thing it had forced Android phonemakers to do -- remove features. To recap, Apple has already forced several Android phonemakers to remove the "bounce" animation from their smartphones, and degrade the quality of scrolling in their gallery. Those concessions come after preliminary injunction losses
in regions such as the Netherlands
. And in Germany Apple has even
banned Motorola and Samsung
Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) from using
unidirectional slide-to-unlock
, forcing them to use a clunky spiral motion unlock screen.
to its German fans the bad news:
Due to recent patent litigation by Motorola Mobility, iCloud and MobileMe users are currently unable to have iCloud and MobileMe email pushed to their iOS devices while located within the borders of Germany.
Affected customers will still receive iCloud and MobileMe email, but new messages will be downloaded to their devices when the Mail app is opened, or when their device periodically fetches new messages as configured in iOS Settings. Push email service on desktop computers, laptop computers, and the web is unaffected, as is service from other providers such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
Apple believes Motorola's patent is invalid and is appealing the decision.
Apple's calendar and contacts syncing will continue to function as normal in iCloud and MobileMe, despite the loss of push email.
II. Why Was the iCloud Feature Banned, and What Is Next?
The device maker faces an uphill struggle from here on out. Like many of Apple's patents that it's litigated with, Motorola's push email patent may be invalid due to prior art or other issues (novelty, etc.).
In the U.S., a lower federal courts judges can ban a product or service via preliminary injunction if they feel that:
a) The described product or service clearly violates the patent
b) There is
a "high likelihood" that a patent is invalid.
The German court system works slightly differently, but the end result is the same. In Germany infringement proceeds along one track, while validity proceeds along a second, parallel track [source]. A judge can pause (stay) the infringement proceedings to wait for the conclusion of the validity, but only if there
a "high likelihood" of their validity.
Again, both systems rely on the premise of a "high likelihood" of invalidity, which is typically defined at somewhere around 70 to 80 percent. Of course this is wholly subjective, meaning how one judge might rule could vary substantially from what another judge might rule.
For now Apple's iPads and iPhones have been crippled of a key feature, much as Apple has crippled its competitors. Apple's next soonest hope of killing the painful ruling comes when it pleads its case before the
Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court
, a German appeals court. The appeals court has a lower standard of invalidity to grant a stay -- it can grant a stay if it feels that there's over a 50 percent chance of invalidity.
iPhone owners must live with the ban, likely for at least a year. [Image Source: Tech Axcess]
However, the issue for Apple is that the appeals court likely won't hear the case for at least a year -- ironically, a delay which may in part be lengthened due to all the appeals Apple has generated in its its own injunction
over Android phonemakers. And, of course, there's no guarantees that the appeals court will even see the patent as 50 percent or more likely to be invalid.
The Android v. Apple patent dispute is increasingly looking like a stalemate of growing attrition. Everyone is losing -- especially the customers -- as features disappear from both sides' products. And there's little sign that the leadership on either side is willing to offer an end to the conflict.
Note 1:
The higher invalidity standard is in major contrast with other EU nations, such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Note 2:
The push-email patent used in this case is
a patent promised under the "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory" (FRAND) rules. Thus, unlike
some other recent rulings
-- such as a German ban on online iPad/iPhone sales -- Motorola stands no risk of
getting in trouble for FRAND abuse
for its effort (as, again, the patent is not FRAND).
Note 3:
The patent involved in this ruling is
EP (European Patent) 0847654 (B1)
. The U.S. counterpart:
U.S. Patent No. 5,754,119
, which covers a "multiple pager status synchronization system and method".
"I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For [Paramount] to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks!" -- Movie Director Michael Bay

Lady Wildcats win opener Team overcomes early struggles to score blowout
The Mount Si Wildcats girls basketball team opened the season Saturday evening, Nov. 29, in rousing fashion, as they overcame first half struggles to break out to a big early lead and roll to an easy victory over another group of 'Cats, these from West Seattle.
Caitie Richards scored a game-high 22 points as the Mount Si girls won 68-29 in the game at West Seattle High School.
"It was good. I'm so impressed with how we're playing," Richards said. We're going to have a good season. I can tell already," Richards said.
"We've been working hard to clean up some things, and we're trying to develop a consistent level of play," said Mount Si coach Dirk Hansen. "Tonight's just one game, but I'm really happy for these kids to get a nice win like this to open up the season."
Mount Si blew out to an 18-4 lead after the first quarter. Despite many turnovers, scarlet and gray was able to use their defense to their advantage, forcing just as many West Seattle turnovers. Mount Si also got balanced scoring, as Aubrey Larion added 13 points, and Traci Nelson pitched in 10 to aid the cause. Karly Thompson picked up eight points and Jori Braun contributed six, all in the fourth quarter, to pace the action.
Millie Osborne and Kayla Kliphardt scored nine points apiece to lead West Seattle.
Mount Si this week heads to Port Angeles to take on the Olympic League's Port Angeles Roughriders.
"We had to really work hard to get nonleague games this year with the conference changes," Hansen said. "We had to get eight nonleague games; I had to work hard to get those, and I'm not as enthused about having to travel so far. I know a lot of parents aren't either.
"But, you know what, it's a basketball game. We try to take the motto 'we'll play anybody, anywhere, anytime,'" he said.
Game time is 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6 at Port Angeles High School. Players will not miss class time.

Jazz management are too patient, too conservative, too dull, too boring. You cant sit on your hands forever. You have to take some risks at some point. You cant play the conservative patient card forever. Just like you cant be too risky and too aggressive. You need balance and the jazz are too far on one side of the spectrum. They try so hard to out think everyone that they just screw themselves.
-- Sport without class content is a dangerous amusement
-- Sport is not an aim in itself, but a means in the proletarian class struggle.
[size/HUGE] RUDY [/SIZE]
Just because Lindsey isn't as impulsive as Jazz fans, and doesn't blow everything up after every loss, doesn't mean he doesn't have a long term vision for this team.
If anything I know about Spurs execs, is that they're not impulsive.
How many teams make trades this early in the season? Most wait until right near the deadline to get anything done.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson
He needs to **** or get off the pot. Hey mods, I got two positive reps to get me off of 7 and I am still on 7. Looks like someone else needs to get off the pot.
Didn't KOC once say Jazz and everyone else are talking trades all year long.
And they will make a trade if the offer is good.
Jazz probably have not had any decent offers for any of their players including Jefferson or Millsap.
And they may not get any. Every other team knows Jefferson and Millsap's flaws.
Why would they offer Jazz a lopsided trade in the Jazz favor?
I'm still trying to wait to pass a judgment with any real totality (there are a lot of things that have to align on the market, after all [notwithstanding that Al should've had his ticket punched out of here at minute 49 of Game 4 last year]), but I can say with complete confidence that if the Jazz just end up letting the FAs walk this year and not making a trade, we will have seen a dazzling level of incompetence and totally lost opportunity.
Mark Cuban is a ****ing sociopath.
I don't know where I read it but there was somethin that said KOC gave Dennis Lindsey a long list of moves that he wouldn't be comfortable with him making and that KOC is stopping DL from doing a lot of things. I know it's hard, but don't blame DL. Blame KOC.

New Delhi: Cristiano Ronaldo won't be disciplined over a weekend incident where he kicked out at defender Michael Dawson during Manchester United's high-octane 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Football Association, wise to the flashpoint, have been waiting for referee Mike Dean's verdict on the incident, having given him a chance to consider the pair's tumble and the subsequent kick via video.
Now, Dean has decided that the Portuguese star's kick, which came after Wayne Rooney's stamping controversy during the recent Champions League clash against Aalborg, wasn't bad enough to warrant further consideration by the Association.
An FA spokesman stated: "We contacted the referee, who confirmed he didn't see the incident at the time. Having reviewed footage, he has also confirmed he would not have sent the player off for violent conduct had he seen it.
"On that basis, no further action will be taken."
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will be pleased, having landed himself a touchline ban and a fine after clashing with Dean last month.

A federal agency, not Congress, took away your right to control your health information. Your right to control the use and disclosure of your personal health information was eliminated in 2003 by regulatory changes made to HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA is a complex 1,500 page set of rules covering things such as the transfer of health insurance when you change jobs.
The changes mean that millions of strangers, as well as employers, can use your health records for reasons that have nothing to do with your treatment or improving your health care. In an era of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Personal Health Records (PHRs), the problem could get worse as your personal health information is more easily accessible. Though the promise of electronic records is great, privacy is the key to realizing the potential benefits of these new and innovative systems.
The Elimination of Consent
|Congress passed HIPAA, but did not pass a federal medical privacy statute, so the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) was required to develop regulations that specified patients' rights to health privacy.
PL 104-191, Sec 264
|President Bush implemented the HHS HIPAA "Privacy Rule" which recognized the "right of consent".
65 Fed. Reg. 82,462
|HHS amended the HIPAA "Privacy Rule", eliminating the "right of consent".

We now know that former Gov. Jon Corzine was flatly dishonest when he denied having a close personal relationship with union leader Carla Katz as his administration was negotiating with her union in 2007.
And we know that our worst fears about Katz were true. She was trying to influence the negotiations by establishing a back-channel with the governor based on their history as lovers. She constantly told him how to govern. And while these exchanges took place after the romance was said to have ended, she repeatedly made explicit sexual references and begged him to visit.
All this is a reminder of what a tawdry episode this was. With billions of dollars hanging in the balance, we were supposed to believe this relationship presented no conflict of interest.
"This is not an ongoing, active relationship," Corzine said at the time. "It's no different than my relationship with (state AFL-CIO leader) Charlie Wowkanech." That statement came less than one month after Katz sent him an e-mail discussing his erection. It came as Katz pelted him with e-mails describing outstanding issues at the bargaining table and demanding that the governor crack down on leaders of rival unions who had criticized Katz's role in the talks.
Corzine no doubt fought hard to keep these e-mails secret for political reasons, given the potential embarrassment during his re-election campaign. He spent $127,000 of taxpayers' money on that legal fight.
The irony is that the core suspicion – that Corzine was allowing Katz to manipulate him – was apparently not true. There is no evidence in these e-mails that Corzine pushed his negotiators to be lenient. In fact, his administration bargained hard and won significant concessions on salary and benefits. The agreement saved taxpayers a great deal of money.
But the coverup itself did damage. It forced Corzine to lie. And it eroded confidence in him. By late 2008, a confidential poll commissioned by Corzine found that most voters wanted the e-mails released, and 49 percent said they "have lost confidence in Corzine because of the Katz controversy." It gives us no pleasure to kick a man who has already been rejected by voters. And rest assured we have zero prurient interest in the personal lives of either Katz or Corzine.
The Star-Ledger decided to print these materials, obtained by reporter Josh Margolin, because the public has a right to know and Corzine left behind no greater mystery as our governor. We also choose to reprint the 123 e-mails because we have been relentless in our demand for transparency from our public officials. We believe citizens can and should draw their own conclusions and the only way for that happen is to read the e-mails in their entirety.
As journalists, our first mission is to act as a watchdog on people in power, and to share information that sheds light on the their behavior as they do the people's business.
Perhaps, too, this will send a message to all public officials. Conflicts of interests eventually come back to bite you. And covering it up only makes it worse.

Everything seemed to work on stripers in Raritan Bay today, as trollers, live bunker fishermen, and those chumming with clams all connected with legal bass that are mostly in the 28-to-36-inch class.
Capt. Joe Massa had no trouble netting bunkers in the back of the bay with his My Three Sons from Morgan Marina -- after which he had non-stop action with stripers up well into the twenties.
The Tackle Box in Hazlet reports Anthony Altobelli took some time off from the shop to fish with Capt. Mike Sisto on Jersey Boy for bass up to 25 pounds on clams, bunkers and Stretch plugs. A kayak fisherman named Jan from N.Y.C. cast shads and plugs off Keyport for 20 bass up to 28 pounds. Phil Sciortino noted that bass up to over 44 inches have been reported from the Spy House pier. Dave Lilly of Hazlet went out of Keyport in the afternoon for hot striper trolling with Tony Maja bunker spoons.
Gene Graman of Middletown ran his That's It from Twin Lights Marina in Highlands to quickly troll limits of stripers on Stretch plugs in the morning.
Capt. Stan Zagleski was delighted with the mix of keeper and short bass on his Elaine B. from Bahrs in Highlands. Mike Naipawer of Bloomingdale took the pool with a 16-pounder. The Elaine B. will let that fishery alone the next two days to fish for blackfish at 7 a.m. Saturday and Sunday -- before the spring season closes.
Grumpy's Tackle in Seaside Park finally got a winner for the first place $300 gift certificate in their Polar Bear Tournament when Eric Green weighed a 30-inch, 9.45-pounder that hit a clam on Wednesday. Those who had signed up for that winter contest are still in the running for the second place prize.
Dave Perruso says Delaware River shad fishing conditions in the Phillipsburg area are ideal in time for Saturday's Bi-State Shad Tournament. Perruso took John Herb of Williams Township, Pa. out yesterday afternoon to quickly catch his first shad before they ended up releasing 20 and losing three from 2-6 p.m. The largest weighed 5.25 pounds. There were 188 anglers signed up as of this morning, and others can do so for $30 up to 8 a.m. Saturday. Call 610 762-0440 for info.
Capt. Jim McFarland only had to anchor once on Tillie's Ledge to put the Scott Testa party from Rockaway into 135 haddock plus 25 cod on Big Mac from Green Harbor, Ma.

Here's the song as I remember it...........
The Billboard Song
As I was walking down the street, a billboard caught my eye.
The advertisements written there would make you laugh and cry.
The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before.
And as I read the things it said, well, here is what I sore......
Smoke coca-cola cigarettes, drink wrigley's spearmint beer.
Kennel ration dog food keeps your wife's complection clear.
Chocolate covered moth balls, they always satisfy.
Brush your teeth with life boy soap and watch the suds go by.
As I recovered from the shock, I went along my way.
I'd gone no further than a block when much to my dismay.....
Another billboard caught my eye, and like the one before,
The wind and rain had done its' work and this is what I sore....
Oh, take your next vacation in a brand new frigidare.
Learn to play piano in your winter underwear.
Simonize your babies with hershey candy bars,
See the difference that draino makes in all the movie stars.
Oh, Doctors proved that babies shouldn't drive till they are three
People over thirty five take baths in lipton's tea.
You can make this country a better place today,
Just buy a copy of this song and throw it fur away.....

We only stayed two nights and one full day. Our experience was good. Being limited with time the location was perfect for us because it facilitated to us visiting the most important attractions in one day
The location of the Hotel is perfect in the old Center of Palma. The staff was really nice. Unfortunately our room wasn't very nice. It was dark and loud and not cosy at all...
hotel very well situed, calm. Very nice stay.

(From Poz Magazine)
An analysis of 32 studies of Truvada (tenofovir/emtricitabine) as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) found that almost all of those who contracted HIV had undetectable or very low levels of the drug in their bodies at the time. Researchers from Gilead Sciences, Truvada's manufacturer, presented the findings from their analysis of these studies at the ASM Microbe 2016 conference in Boston.
The investigators in the trials conducted dried blood spot tests on participants to determine levels of tenofovir in specific blood cells at the time they contracted HIV. These tests can detect adherence to Truvada with a window looking back about eight weeks.
The Georgia AIDS and STI Information Lineis a free service, providing confidential and anonymous answersand referrals to questions concerning testing, treatment, PrEP,risk assessment, safer sex practices, case management, social services, emotional wellness counseling, and medication assistance for personsinfected or affected by HIV and STIs.

PHOTOS: This Is One Time We're Actually Down With Players
They say there are no second acts in American life. But Rick Day has followed up Players, his photographic paean to the athletic male form with Players 2, which gives us more of the same with wet-dream fodder like Simon Dexter, Eric Belanger, Latrell Spencer and Todd Sanfield. Something to think about as you start packing on that winter weight.
It's clear he has big DICK make me happy visit me in http://celebslam.celebuzz.com
I love all photos just #5 i hate.
@Maddie: You must be Mad(die).
@Maddie: #5? Check that tongue. Tell me You'd say no.
@Maddie: you must be crazy. #5 is the freaking hottest one, that face is omg; and #9 is a close second.
#6 and #8 ALL THE FUCKING WAY.
3 and 5 for suuuuuure ;)
#8 is so adorable.
#4 + #9… wow. Harley/Simon Czaplinski is hot + hung.
@Maddie: Why because he is the ONLY person of color in all the pages? Hmmmmm would you say racist. Oh you might reply "I'm not racist I only into white or latin guys" to each his own but when you flat out point out the black guy as not being the one you don't like you will just make him more popular on this page and more people will like him so thanks for uplifting the only black guy on this page.
Now, this is more like it.
And look how gorgeous these guys manage to be without getting all inked up…
@till the world ends:
That seems like a bit of a leap, don't you think? From disliking a photo all the way over to full-on racist? I don't much care for #7 because I think his beard is too thick, and he looks like he wants to murder the cameraman. Does that mean I hate all beards? I don't think the body hair on #5 is all that appealing. Does that mean I hate all body hair? No, I rather like #9.
Rather than immediately assuming malice, racism, or whatever, can't we all just agree we have different tastes in men? Without getting up in arms about it?
Also, I think #3 and #9 are the hottest.
@till the world ends
You were absolutely right in what you said. I was about to write a very similar comment before I saw yours.
No it is not a leap to go to racism when the ONLY model he chose to point out to HATE is the only one of color. When you pointed out the models you didn't like it was for various reasons, but also of models all of the same type. Maddie did not just dilike #5, he said it was the only one he hated. I think that's a little more than not liking #5's body hair. I think if people were a little more sensitive to this when it happens we would start to see more changes.
I personally thought they were ALL hot!!!
#8 is clearly superior, all others can bow down.
Is it me or do they look computer generated…
I wouldn't kick any of them outta my bed.
I will murder any of you bitches with a fork if #5 asked me to ^_^
Being a butt person, #4 was just heavenly, and I liked #7 too, sexy scruff.
4 is my favourite. Nice pose, nice butt to be entered!! And #5? What's there to "hate"??? He is a very nice looking, light brown guy. And if you look real closely, he has gray/blue eyes. Waiter, I'll have one of each!!! Yum!!
love number 8 Latrell Spencer

People are not investing in companies or commodities; they are placing bets in the world's largest casino. And, if you are one of the big guys, you are also the house. That means the odds are in your favor so long as you manage the casino to best serve your interests. Which leads me to strike 2 . . . These investors could care less about profits, revenue, or dividends. The performance of the companies involved is irrelevant. What is relevant is the way in which their stock prices can be pushed up and down with relative ease and frequency. These guys make money on moves, not on companies' performance. The little guys that buy into the performance myth are nothing more than the source of the big guys revenue streams. After that foul tip, you really whiff on the last one which is way out of the zone . . . The market is not largely dependent on the housing market or any other rational factor for that matter; it is, by its nature as a casino, dependant only on the gullibility of those that think they can play against the house and win. And, as long as there are complicit shills in the media that refuse to report on these obvious conditions, it will continue to reap huge profits for the house, regardless of the "market", "economy", or anything else.

[0001]This application is the U.S. National Phase application of PCT/FR2007/050639 filed Jan. 11, 2007, which claims priority to French Application No. 0600235 filed Jan. 11, 2006, which applications are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
[0002]I. Field of the Invention
[0003]The present invention relates to an arterial endoprosthesis, in particular for the aorta.
[0004]The aorta is an artery of the human body going from the left ventricle of the heart, down along the spinal column, and from which numerous blood vessels originate that irrigate the entire body.
[0005]Prostheses for the aorta are commonly used in the context of surgery. They are capable of reducing the risk of an aneurysm rupturing, where an aneurysm is a non-natural and localized expansion of the aorta, which can often be the cause of sudden death.
[0006]II. Description of the Related Art
[0007]In the prior art, there is known in particular a tubular endoprosthesis for the aorta that comprises a leakproof duct situated inside the aorta. This is shown in FIG. 1.
[0008]The leakproof duct 12 matches the diameter of the aorta 4 with the help of a spring 14 placed inside the duct so as to provide a path for blood flow in register with the aneurysm 6, this path having the usual diameter for the aorta.
[0009]The object of that type of endoprosthesis 2 is to prevent blood from flowing in the expanded portion of the aneurysm 6. Nevertheless, in spite of the pressure exerted by the spring 4 on the duct 12 so that it adheres to the wall 16 and makes a leaktight connection 17 between the wall and the prosthesis, a flow of blood 18 can pass outside the duct, because of the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls 16.
[0010]This flow of blood 18 passing through the expanded portion of the aneurysm as a result of incomplete contact between the prosthesis 2 and the wall 16 is a phenomenon referred to as "type 1 endoleak".
[0011]These leaks create pressure against the wall 16 of the aneurysm 6, meaning that it is not possible to completely eliminate any risk of additional expansion, and thus of rupture.
[0012]A particular object of the invention is to remedy those drawbacks by providing an aortic endoprosthesis capable of eliminating any risk of type 1 endoleaks, and thus of reducing the failure rate of surgery for putting a prosthesis into place.
[0013]To this end, the invention provides an arterial endoprosthesis having an outer face for pressing against the inside wall of an artery, the endoprosthesis being characterized in that it includes, on its outer face, projections that are distributed in such a manner as to reduce the speed of a flow of blood passing between the artery and the endoprosthesis.
[0014]In their vicinity, the projections create turbulence that disturbs the flow and slows it down. This encourages thrombosis or blood coagulation. The blood coagulated in this way can then contribute to plugging the orifice through which the blood has passed outside the duct, thus preventing endoleaks.
[0015]Furthermore, because of the presence the projections, the roughness of the surface is considerable, thereby providing better adhesion for the prosthesis with the wall of the artery than is provided with existing models, thus avoiding possible migration of the prosthesis.
[0016]In addition, the endoprosthesis of the invention makes it possible to avoid type 3 endoleaks that occur in the event of a microtear in the duct of the prosthesis. The coagulated blood then prevents fluid blood that is flowing inside the duct from escaping through the microleak.
[0017]In a particular embodiment, the projections are hemispherical in shape.
[0018]In a particular embodiment, the projections are disposed in a staggered configuration along the longitudinal direction of the endoprosthesis. This optimizes the slowing down of the flow.
[0019]Advantageously, the projections are made of microporous material. Such projections absorb a fraction of the blood flowing in the expanded portion of the artery. The blood retained in the projections and thus prevented from moving coagulates quickly. Blood coagulation takes place progressively, so the blood that has coagulated in the projections initiates coagulation of the blood that has been slowed down and that is flowing between them.
[0020]Coagulation thus takes place more quickly since it is initiated at a plurality of locations simultaneously.
[0021]Advantageously, the outer wall is covered in a film of leakproof material, which film dissolves slowly in contact with blood, thereby enabling the projections to retain a minimum volume during implantation.
[0022]The projections are then covered in a leakproof film, and during the first few hours that the prosthesis is present in the human body, the absorption function of the projections is not activated.
[0023]Given that the prosthesis is generally inserted in the human body via the femoral artery and then slid up the artery to the aneurysm, it is made much easier to put into place by the fact that the projections are in compact form and of minimum volume. Because of the leakproof film, blood does not penetrate immediately into the projections, so they conserve a compact minimum volume. After the endoprosthesis has been in place for a few hours, the film dissolves away in contact with the blood, thereby enabling the microporous projections to act in the manner described above.
[0024]The film is optionally made of gelatin.
[0025]Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.
[0026]The invention can be better understood on reading the following description given purely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0027]FIG. 1 is a view of a prior art arterial endoprosthesis, described above;
[0028]FIG. 2 is a side view of the endoprosthesis in a particular embodiment;
[0029]FIG. 3A is a longitudinal section of the endoprosthesis in the same embodiment, prior to being inserted in the human body; and
[0030]FIG. 3B is a longitudinal section of the endoprosthesis in the same embodiment, after it has been put into place at the location of the aneurysm.
[0031]The figures show the endoprosthesis 20 of the invention. Like the endoprosthesis 2 known to the person skilled in the art and shown in FIG. 1, this endoprosthesis comprises a leakproof duct 12' made of polyester or of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) providing a blood flow path for blood at the location of the aneurysm 6, together with a spring 14' that is generally made of a metal alloy that is not corrosive and that is not harmful to the human body, and that enables the duct 12' to match the diameter of the aorta.
[0032]The arterial endoprosthesis 20 also includes, on its outer face, hemispherical projections 22 disposed in a staggered configuration in its long direction.
[0033]The projections 22 thus create a "labyrinth" effect: turbulence 24 occurs accidentally in a flow of blood 18 between the wall 16 of the aorta and the prosthesis 20 this turbulence 24 reduces the speed of the blood in the endoleak.
[0034]Blood is also absorbed by the projections 22, since they are made of a microporous material, e.g. of woven polyester yarn. The absorbed blood is prevented from moving, thereby encouraging it to coagulate and produce a thrombosis. The disturbed and slowed blood flowing in the vicinity of the projections 22 then coagulates easily in turn because of its slow speed and the presence of coagulated blood in the vicinity thereof, given that coagulation propagates by spreading gradually.
[0035]This coagulation of the blood thus serves to close off durably the orifice through which the flow of blood 18 becomes engaged accidentally into the expanded portion of the aneurysm 6.
[0036]FIG. 3A shows the endoprosthesis of the invention before being inserted in the human body. The projections 22 are then covered in a leakproof film 26 of gelatin.
[0037]Thus, when the prosthesis is inserted into the human body via the femoral artery (leg artery), which is narrower than the aorta, the projections do not swell by absorbing blood: they are therefore compact and the volume of the prosthesis 20 is at a minimum. It is therefore easy to move the prosthesis up the femoral artery and the aorta 4 as far as the aneurysm 6.
[0038]Once the prosthesis is in place, the gelatin film 26, which is not harmful to the human body, dissolves into the blood, as shown in FIG. 3B, with this material dissolving slowly in contact with blood.
[0039]The projections 22 then come into contact with the flow of blood 18 and absorb the blood by the "sponge" effect. Consequently, they increase in volume by absorbing blood and they allow the blood to coagulate and obstruct the orifice, in the manner described above.
[0040]The projections 22 as swollen in this way after the endoprosthesis 20 has been put into place also serve to consolidate the positioning of the endoprosthesis by a "spike" effect. By increasing the roughness of the outer surface of the duct 12', the swollen projections 22 provide better adhesion between the endoprosthesis 20 and the wall, and make any movement of the prosthesis difficult.
[0041]The endoprosthesis 20 as described above thus presents numerous advantages, enabling the risks of the aneurysm rupturing after surgery to be reduced, and more particularly eliminating certain types of endoleak.
[0042]Nevertheless, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

The narrow-minded view expressed in the July 15 letter, making climate change a political issue, is very disturbing. President Barack Obama's program is based on information and recommendations resulting from the work of the U.S. Global Change Research Program, which coordinates and integrates federal research on changes in the global environment and their implications for society. The USGCRP is nonpolitical, comprised of five highly regarded federal agencies.
The reality of global climate warming is not determined by politics or by anyone's personal belief. It is a question of science. The peer-reviewed scientific papers published affirming the reality of global warming number more than a thousand versus none for the contrary view.

Back to work!
I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and now we are ready (kind of) to get back to work with a 9-game roadtrip that starts tonight in Clinton. However, and not surprisingly, Mother Nature may have a say in whether or not we play tonight. It is currently (3:45) raining and while the tarp is NOT on the field, Batting Practice has been canceled. We are looking at 100% chance of rain at 5 pm, 65% at 7pm and 30% after that. UGH. Feels like day number 90 in a row with rain or snow. The wet conditions will also keep injured players Richard Jones and Rubi Silva from returning to the lineup tonight. I expect to see them both back in the lineup either tomorrow or Wednesday IF their legs hold up from running today as they test the injuries.
We had a bit of a delayed ride over today as our regular buss driver Russ Stewart is seeing his son Nate off to the Middle East to serve our country and the fill-in was a tad bit late, but we are in Clinton and ready to go. We didn't watch a movie on the way over as most of the guys slept. I got some work done and started a new book, a thriller, The Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer.
As you'll see in the April25GameNotes, the Chiefs are 6-18 in this ballpark the last 3 years, hopefully we can turn that around tonight. We made a couple roster moves today as well.

FAIRHOPE, Alabama -- There is one thing that can be said about the candidates running for sheriff in Baldwin County — they can get kind of passionate when asked the right questions.
That is what happened Monday night when an armored vehicle for the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office and a bill that changed the qualifications to be sheriff in the county came up during a candidate forum at Homestead Village in Fairhope.
"Why would a sitting office holder be allowed to write a bill and have it passed by the legislative delegation without input from the people?" asked Larry Milstid, one of the three candidates vying to be sheriff of Baldwin County. "It's need to be repealed."
The candidates were invited to the forum by the Baldwin County Young Republicans to answer general questions and specific questions about their campaigns.
The candidates are Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack, Jeff Dunn, a Baldwin County District Attorney's Office investigator, and Milstid, a former Sheriff's Office chief deputy.
There are no Democratic candidates running for the office. The three Republican candidates will face each other in the June 3 primary election.
Bill called 'unconstitutional'
Dunn and Milstid were critical about the passage of a bill during the 2013 Alabama Legislative session that set new standards to qualify to be sheriff in Baldwin County.
A bill that has been introduced this legislative session amends one of the seven qualifications outlined in the 2013 bill.
The 2013 bill requires candidates to have three years or more of "immediate prior service as a law enforcement officer having the power of arrest."
The new bill, which is still pending in the Alabama Legislature, only requires candidates to have three or more years of service as a law enforcement officer.
Mack defended the bill and talked why he thinks it is needed.
He said a man who qualified to run for sheriff in 2010 had "no business in law enforcement." He said the candidate had an arrest record.
"We are in 2014, and the time has come that the sheriff needs to be a law enforcement officer and needs to understand law enforcement as he or she sets (the) parameters for the men or women who serve him or her," Mack said.
Dunn said the 2013 bill is "as unconstitutional as it can be."
"We have to stand for our Constitution," he said. "We passed a law just for Baldwin County and not the entire state. There is something wrong with that."
Sheriff defends need for SWAT vehicle
A question about the use of military equipment and tactics to enforce laws in the county turned into a debate about whether the county needs an armored vehicle.
When the sheriff presented his budget to the Baldwin County Commission last year, he asked for money to buy a SWAT vehicle for between $250,000 and $300,000.
Mack withdrew the request after Commissioner Frank Burt Jr. raised questions about the purchase of the vehicle, but Mack said he would try to find another way to buy it.
Mack said getting the vehicle is not about trying to militarize the Sheriff's Office. He said it is about fulfilling his duty to protect the deputies who serve the county.
"This vehicle has no ornament on it of an offensive nature," Mack said. "It is a defensive thing, and my commitment is to protect the men and women of our Sheriff's Office so that they can serve you."
Milstid said he understands what the sheriff is saying about protection, but he thinks the county has other needs, like substations in unincorporated parts of the county.
"I understand what Sheriff Mack is saying here, but we have got needs that right now are not being met, and they are not being met... out in the unincorporated areas," he said.
Dunn said the county doesn't need an armored vehicle. He said it costs too much, and it will give people the wrong perception about the county.
"We do not need an armored personnel carrier for this county," Dunn said. "We are not in Los Angeles where we are getting gunfire. We are not in Iraq where there could be an IED explosion in front of the vehicle."

By DAVE GRAM, Associated Press
MONTPELIER, Vermont (AP) — A Massachusetts congressman is demanding to know whether the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has anything to say about the truthfulness of public statements made by the owners of the plants it regulates.
Rep. Edward Markey, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, wrote Friday to NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko to complain that a spokesman for the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant had made statements "at odds with the factual history of the plant," and that the "NRC had not appropriately responded to concerns raised about this issue."
Markey's letter came nearly three months after the incident in question. On Aug. 2, the Vermont Health Department announced that the radioactive isotope strontium-90 had been found in the flesh of small-mouth bass caught in the Connecticut River about 9 miles upstream from the reactor in Vernon. The plant is about three miles from the Massachusetts line; the river flows through Massachusetts and Connecticut before emptying into Long Island Sound.
Markey took issue with a statement issued by Vermont Yankee spokesman Larry Smith saying that "There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Vermont Yankee is the source for the strontium-90" in the fish.
At the time, both Smith and state officials said possible sources for the strontium-90 included atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons during the 1950s and '60s and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. Smith did not mention that Vermont Yankee had filed annual emission reports with the NRC saying it had emitted strontium-90 in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2010.
"We have 31 monitoring wells on site that are tested regularly. No groundwater sample from any well at Vermont Yankee has ever indicated the presence of strontium-90, or any other isotope other than tritium," Smith said, adding that "there is no factual basis for that suggestion" that the plant was the source.
Markey called that statement "at odds with recent history at Vermont Yankee," and cited the annual effluent reports.
On Aug. 8, David Lochbaum, director of the nuclear safety project at the Union of Concerned Scientists, sent an email to Smith and to the NRC labeling Smith's remarks "not the whole truth" and "so far short of the whole truth as to be very misleading bordering on deceitful."
NRC Branch Chief Ronald Bellamy replied Aug. 29, telling Markey, "the statements made by Mr.Smith in the press release do not fall within the NRC's purview as the NRC does not regulate statements made by licensees to the media."
Markey asked in his letter if the NRC thought Smith's Aug. 2 statements were "a truthful, accurate and complete representation of the source of the strontium." He asked for "full documentation that establishes the source of the strontium as anything other than releases from Vermont Yankee."
He also demanded documents "related to any NRC regulatory requirements regarding the veracity of statements that licensees provide to the public and the media. If there are no such requirements, please provide an explanation as to why the NRC is not concerned with the truthfulness of public statements made by licensees."
NRC spokeswoman Diane Screnci said Friday the agency will "provide a response to the congressman. She would not comment beyond that other than saying, "We don't have a requirement for communicating with the press."
Smith on Friday stuck by his earlier statements.
"It is well known that (strontium-90) is present throughout the environment at background levels due to atmospheric testing and the Chernobyl accident," he said in an email. "The finding of trace levels in a single fish sample is consistent with those background levels."
Vermont Yankee has been in operation in Vernon, Vermont since 1972 and was purchased by Entergy in 2002. The plant reportedly produces 650 megawatts of power and employs 650 people.
