Dan Bowman | FierceHealthIT | June 5, 2014
By 2024, the national health IT infrastructure and data standards will evolve to support robust information sharing and aggregation, creating a "continuous learning" environment for care, according to an ONC paper published today.
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT outlined a 10-year plan to develop an interoperable health IT ecosystem that can simultaneously improve population health, boost patient engagement and lower costs.
The agency shared a set of five "critical building blocks" for achieving its goals, while also revealing its expectations for three, six and 10 years down the road.
National Coordinator for Health IT Karen DeSalvo, at the Patient Privacy Rights Summit in the District of Columbia on June 4, talked about the importance of getting feedback from multiple stakeholders for the paper, published in the wake of ONC's recently announced realignment, which aims to streamline processes as federal funding dries up.
"Though at ONC we have set interoperability to connect care and information on behalf of patients and consumers as a high priority … I want to make sure that it's clear to folks that we didn't do that in our box at Humphrey," DeSalvo said. "We spent the first few months doing quite a bit of informal … and formal environmental scans, looking for what kinds of writings, letters, comments we were receiving from our stakeholders of all walks."
While the current health system has the capability to capture data at rest and in silos, DeSalvo said, to really make it powerful, it needs to be able to move safely and securely for the benefit of people.
"Interoperability … is so complex," she said. "It requires all of us to have some shared responsibility thinking through how we're going to get there in a way that meets everyone's needs and expectations."

Stay away from these individuals and these ideas.
There are other potentially deadly masters who will seek to exploit your frustration and sense of desperation. Many will warn you of government tyranny; they'll talk of secret societies, vast conspiracies, shadow governments, and the need for violent action. I urge you to stay away from these individuals and these ideas.

Campsite 53 Report
Well the hike into 53 is very nice and pretty much down hill the entire way. The first part of the trail is some somewhat steep switchbacks down the mountain and then it just becomes a slight downhill grade pretty much the entire time. It only has one or two stream crossing, I guess depending on how much rain there has been recently. I made it to the campsite in an hour and a half. I passed a man and a woman about 20 minutes into walking who said that the creek was up pretty high and that they had been staying at 53 also. I was worried that I wouldnt get to the campsite before it started raining again but I made it without a single shower.
The campsite it pretty nice and I had a very nice place to pitch my tent, and used the bear cables to get my food off the ground. After setting up camp I hiked down the trail aways and began to fish. I caught all rainbows Saturday afternoon with some decent size fish mixed in with some tiny ones. All of the fish were caught on a size 16 olive EHC. I fished a copper john dropper behind it a few times through some deep runs but the fish seemed to want the dry. I fished until about an hour to dark and then came out alittle above the campsite and hiked back down to fix dinner. My new stove and cookset works amazingly. I had zitti with zuchinni and summer sausage. It was delicious. I had a small fire built and enjoyed that for a few hours before I turned in for bed. I felt like I had only been asleep for alittle while before it sounded like a monsoon was coming down around me but it did make for a pretty decent sleep.
I woke Sunday morning and fished for about 3 hours and caught fish just like I had done the day before but this time it was a little harder because the water was up quite a bit. I decided not to stay another night because I was afraid that I wouldnt make it to work on time Monday and headed back to the truck at around 1. Well the hike back up to the truck took me two and a half hours and was pretty intense the last mile but I wouldnt call it extremely difficult by any means.
All together it was a great trip and one that I would recommend. There is some great water on the upper section to fish and if I wasnt alone I probably would have explored alot of it but its different when your back there by yourself, you really dont want to take unnecessary risks. I probably brought 20+ fish to hand and missed many more I shouldnt have. But I look forward to making the trip again but this time hopefully not alone.
Great report, Don't think I could Handle the climb out right now, maybe by spring. Was the site crowded?
Not a single person there. I only saw that couple walking out and that was the only person I saw all weekend on the trail.
That can be a good thing if you have someone with you, but a little unnerving if you are solo. Sounds great if I get some excess weight off I will take gaintfish next spring.
Campsite 53
53 is on Deep Creek? How light/heavy was your pack? Seems it has always been hard to carry less than 40 lb fishing and camping, even without waders. With waders usually right at 50 lb.
Good post, would have been a little unnerving as well when alone.
According to my map, you're exactly right. It's 3.9 miles down the Deep Creek trail from 441, at the junction of the Fork Ridge Trail. I would love to fish that area sometime...perhaps I'll have more time in the future.
Trying it this weekend
MM, I think my son and I are going to attempt the trip, based on your report. How far from the upper trailhead were you when you first got to some fishable water? I think we might break the hike up and down in halves, and fish on the way to camp and then the way out, as well. Is that possible?
I know about 2 miles in, the trail and the stream are quite aways apart, but above that point as well as below sound doable. Is that true?
It's been 10 or more years since I was down in there, I'm in decent shape for my age and it was a hard long pull coming out, take your time and lots of water.
Like most I seem to always end up carrying mine and some of my wifes and the kids were still home back then.
In 1986 I carried a measured 82 pounds 5+ miles into the back country, my son was 6 at the time, we stayed 6 days and seen no one, but bears, bobcats, hogs, snakes and lots of BROOKIES.
But wouldn't do it again even if I could go back in time.
I have always been curious about trying the hike into the headwaters of Deep Creek. Would like to try it once before I get much older, probably a day trip just to get a feel of the area before I jumped into anything more serious. Sounds like the last stretch uphill is a bear. Do you think a day trip is feasible to get a few hours of fishing in before darkness sets in? I have looked at that drainage too many times from the road, and would to get a closer look in the near future.
I had a pretty heavy pack with me because I was planning on staying an extra night and had packed in food for an extra day so that was some extra weight that wouldnt have been there if my trip would have stayed as planned. I think it took about 30-45 minutes of walking before I could hear and see deep creek. You start out above the river and eventually make it down to some places where you could access. The problem with the trail is that it does follow the creek almost the entire rest of the way to the campsite once you reach it but sometimes you are way above the creek.
I started at the campsite and then worked my way upstream until I could get back on the trail again. I probably fished for an hour or so before I made it back to the stream. There is a campsite that is off the trail that makes for an easy exit once you reach it. But there is great water above and below the campsite.
The hike there wasnt bad at all. But the hike out is tough for the last little bit. I dont know if I would do it all again alone. I didnt feel like I was taking a big risk with just the hike in and camping but when I was fishing away from the trail and a 45 minute walk back to camp and food, the thought of falling and twisting my ankle or any other problem was pretty unsettling. I only saw a few snakes and they were all on the trail. At the campsite there is a small ridge that is directly behind my tent and there is some small vegetation growing half way up the hill. When I woke up Sunday morning it looke like someone had been down the side of the hill on a snow sled because the grass was all laid down in one direction, so I dont really want to think what kind of visitor I might have had that night.
I would be real intersetted in makeing another trip to the campsite with another person sometime but doing it alone again will probably not happen. Let me know if I can give you guys any more information.

A PR Guru's Musings is now at www.stuartbruce.biz
The CIPR Rebuilding Hope conference will also have an exhibition and all of the speakers have been asked to contribute a couple of paragraphs for display. Philip Young has shared his here so I thought I'd do the same:
PR professionals are failing our most vulnerable communities because we are afraid to stand by our beliefs and demand our place at the top table. Too often we are too distant from the results of our actions and we forget the human dimension of what we do. As a south Leeds councillor the aftermath of the bombings reminded me that the work of public relations professionals can have a massive personal impact on the daily lives of individuals.
We?ve probably all had occasions where media coverage isn?t as positive or accurate as we?d hoped and planned. We look at what it means to the reputation of our organisations. But how often do we think about what it means out there in the community? What happens when the misspoken quote becomes the hot topic of conversation in the local shops, pubs and clubs? What about when Mums and Dads talk about it at the school gate? What do we do when the extremist groups such as the BNP and Combat 18 take our work and use it for their own ends?
Public relations people are often held in low regard, even by colleagues within the same organisation. But our work is important. We are failing people if we don?t demand our seat at the top table and ensure that our professional advice is heeded just as much as we listen to doctors, police officers and lawyers. We have the power to change people?s daily lives and rebuild hope in our communities.
Today's Yorkshire Post reports that the Department for Transport is investing in evaluating its media coverage. Why is this a story, surely it's part of every professional PR activity? Well yes of course it is, but it hasn't stopped two of Yorkshire's newest MPs from attempting to make political capital out of criticising it.
This wouldn't be so bad if they were just ordinary MPs, after all lots of people don't understand PR and might believe the "big brother monitoring" spin that the Yorkshire Post has given it. But these MPs both should have known better. They both worked in professional marketing before becoming MPs. PR and marketing both suffer an image problem with politicians. They are an easy target if you want to paint the opposition party as wasting money. PR and marketing professionals know this isn't true therefore those of us who enter politics have a duty to be honest and truthful about the importance of both for central and local government.
Greg Mulholland and Philip Davies should hang their heads in shame. Their behaviour is exactly what gives politicians a bad name. The only conclusions that you can draw from their comments is that either they were very, very bad at their previous jobs (which I don't believe) or that they have decided to cynicaly mislead the public to score cheap political points. Either way they are a disgrace to both marketing and politics.
Below I've pasted a copy of my letter to the Yorkshire Post:
Liberal Democrat MP Greg Mulholland and Tory MP Philip Davies both worked in marketing before becoming MPs. You would expect then that less than 12 months after becoming MPs they would still have a basic grasp of the fundamentals of their profession. Unfortunately both appear to be keener on providing misleading sound bites rather than using their professional expertise for the benefit of the public.
Their ridiculous attack on the Department for Transport for investing in evaluating its communications strategy by measuring media coverage (Yorkshire Post, December 5) shows why politicians are held in such low esteem. As MPs they have a duty to ensure that taxpayers money is being spent effectively. Instead of using their professional expertise to provide informed comment they have both jumped on to a populist band wagon to deliberately mislead the electorate.
As a professional public relations consultant I, like every other taxpayer, would be most alarmed if money was being squandered on a communications campaign that was not being monitored and evaluated in order to assess how it can be improved to deliver more cost effective results. The Department for Transport has a duty to inform, listen to and consult with the public. That's what we all expect. We should also expect them to deliver value for money and to spend tax payers money effectively. Evaluating media coverage is common practice throughout private business and the public sector. The Department of Transport is simply conducting its business in a professional manner.
Greg Mulholland criticises the government?s ?obsession with spin? at the same time as proving by his misleading comments that he is master of the art of spin! Sadly both Mulholland and Davies are more interested in scoring cheap political points rather than contributing intelligently to the debate and concentrating on improving transport in Yorkshire.

Thanks to Just Trying to Save Money for this great frugal gardening post!
Just Trying to Save Money's mom's birthday was yesterday (Happy Birthday again to her Mom) and she always have her girls make something for her. She never wants anything so if her grand kids make it then it will mean more and she will keep it forever!!! So this year they made her a few herb cans!! They are very easy to make and of course very inexpensive!!
-Cans (we just used soup cans and vegetable cans- cleaned and air dried are best)
– One Nail
– Dirt
– Plant of Choice (we chose to use lavender and basil)
– Newspaper
– Decorative Paper
– Crayons (we tried markers but they smeared when we glued the paper, crayons are best)
– Bowl
– Scissors
– Paint Brush
– Bottle of Glue
First you will need to clean out your cans, peel off the label and then let dry. Next take a hammer and nail and poke holes in the bottom of the can for drainage.
Then take your decorative paper and measure out the actual width and length of the paper you will need to cover your can. Decorate your paper the way you want. My girls wrote messages to grandma, but you can draw pictures or whatever you want. Then you will need to pour your glue into a bowl, then take your paint brush and dip it into the glue. Then paint on the glue on the outside of the can. Stick the decorative paper to the can and then paint more glue over the paper. This will help get glue into the edges where the paper and can meet. Gluing the outside will help to keep the paper from getting wet when you water your plants.
Let your can dry, over night is best but a few hours will work. Once it is completely dry take a piece of newspaper and ball it up in the bottom of your can, add dirt and then add your plant. That is it, you are done!! Make sure you put these somewhere that can drain through the bottom or place something underneath if you want them inside somewhere.

Starbucks' Shares Too Expensive Despite Solid Quarter
The coffee giant, which has also become a cultural phenomenon, has built itself into one of the top three quick service restaurants not only in the U.S. but across the globe. What's scary about this company is that, despite its successful track record, I don't believe that Starbucks has reached its full potential.
Like McDonald's
As of this writing the stock is up more than 7%, reaching a high of $73.52. Investors are rewarding the company for yet another solid earnings result, which included a 25% jump third-quarter profits. So, I don't want to overstate the importance of value here. Nor do I want to put too much emphasis on the P/E ratios, especially when Starbucks is performing so well.
But with Starbucks now priced for perfection, pressure is on managements to keep the jolt going. That's no easy task.
On Thursday, the company reported net income of $417.8 million, or 55 cents per share, on revenue of $3.74 billion. These figures, while representing year-over-year growth of 25% and 13%, respectively, also beat Street estimates. Even more impressive, though, was the 8% increase in same-store sales, or comps, which tracks the performances of stores that have been opened at least one year.
In that regard, I couldn't find anything to complain about. Starbucks posted solid growth across all regions, including in the U.S., where comps grew 9%. By contrast, McDonald's, which recently reported 1% increase in comps, said earlier this week that people were eating out less. So, Starbucks' performance certainly stands out. And I can discount how effective management has been by closing underperforming stores, while licensing out its operations to improve results.
The question, though, is to what extent this level of performance can continue, given that areas like the Middle East and Africa lagged behind with 2% growth. Plus, Europe has yet to get its act together, even though Europe also netted 2% comp growth.
You're wondering, then what's the problem? Look, I'm not taking anything away from the company's performance. I just believe that the Street is still expecting a bit too much.

Deuce signing an autograph at Dodger Stadium
The only day I could go to batting practice in the last homestand at Dodger Stadium was Friday August 20th.
I was watching BP with Deuce, his dad and friends but before I left to go upstars I wanted to see friends Linda and Greg who had seats in the field level that day. I was about to take a walk looking for them when Greg found me instead!.
After Greg met Deuce, he said that Linda would love to meet Deuce so I went to get Linda and Greg stayed with their stuff.
Linda wanted a picture with Deuce. She started talking to him and said something like I wish I had something for you to augraph. Well, Deuce said "I could sign your hat." Linda, who is a Phllie phan and a Dodger fan, took off her Phillie hat and handed it to Deuce.
Deuce starts with a pen…
The pen is not working
so someone hands Deuce a sharpie. In the meantime let's take a picture.
OK, let's take a look at the picture while Deuce finish signing….
OK Deuce, can I have my hat back? .
The hat with Deuce's signature :-)
You can watch videos of Deuce and Jameson at Dodger Stadium here:

Hey Emma!!!
First things first. Thx for the message (e-mail and ITD). I got it and replied to your e-mail. Thx again. Loved those pics of Deuce! That's great! Hope your friend Linda didn't get too much grief from Dodger fans about her Phillies cap! 🙂 I wonder how Deuce feels about all of the attention he's getting? I'm sure he's enjoying it! Most kids do like to be the center of attention!
You are welcome CP!
Linda and Greg moved here from Philadelphia since the beginning of the year. Greg is a local boy that is happy to be back home with the Dodgers. Linda follows the Dodgers AFTER her Phillies. They make a cute couple. They have a mini package in the Reserved.
Deuce is a happy outgoing four year old. He is really adorable!
Those two are hilarious, Emma. Even when the usher brushes past them they don't stop the act! LOL. So great when fans get everybody charged up and having fun at the ballpark.
Jameson and Deuce have become the eighth-inning duo. They really get the crowd going. They are hilarious!
Got to love the Deuce-ster. Who knows maybe soon they will name a kid's meal selection at Dodger Stadium just for him.
But it is really cool when regular fans, like Deuce can use their talents and excitement for the game to a positive end. Who knows, if Deuce keeps this up, hemight have a bobblehead in 2011 during the Fan Appreciation slice during that season.
Our niche is writing, Deuce's is to give us quality entertainment that we can smile for hours about….Go get 'em Deuce!
Rays Renegade
Maybe I'll have him autograph the lastest Dodger magazine where he will be featured but I'll make sure he limits it to one sig😉
Wouldn't that be nice that more players would add happy faces to their sig! I'd loe it!
Hahahah! Love the smiley face on the hat! I think more professionals should put smiley faces after their sig. Makes 'em friendlier! Ha!
AHHHhhhhh! Hahahahah! I love that autograph…she got a lot more than she bargained for. He turned her hat into a coloring book! Classic! Big UPs to Deuce!!
Deuce! What a beautiful signature! I could see that in a glass case someday.
Haha I am glad all of you know about our little Dodger fan Deuce.
Virginia, yes Deuce is a cutie!
I'll stop by to see my friends Greg and Linda. See how they handled it when they are rooting against each other and see if she is wearing her Phillie hat. She will probably have one of her Phllie jerseys on.
Yep! the hat resembled a coloring book.
I still laugh when I look at the pictures.

Queer as Folk is now the title of a TV show on a cable network in the US. The show is about homosexuals.

Queer as Folk
The US version of the cable channel Showtime is a spin-off of the Brit version that was on BBC 4, I think. The US version is set in Pittsburg (though it's filmed in Canada) and is considered to be the homosexual counterpart of HBO's Sex in the City

kids is not acceptable in formal contexts. This, just from a survey of common usage
I don't have any problem with "kids" usage (2 kids @ my house also), but I hope that Rugrats never moves from slang to daily use. Especially considering the nasty nature of those cartoon charactors.

My feeling is that "children" has a connotation of well behaved whereas "kids" has a raucous note to it.

I generally refer to mine, collectively, as lilliputians, which i think is appropriate on myriad levels.
i switched to this term of endearment when my standard round-up call, "Come along, my little tax-deductions" gleaned some odd looks from strangers.

Student profile: Eric Chesterton '11
I began working in Special Collections in the summer of 2008 after my freshman year at Haverford. I worked with Manuscripts Librarian and College Archivist Diana Franzusoff Peterson on two projects. The first was a light conservation of the Hartshorne family papers. The Hartshorne family is a prominent Quaker family in the Philadelphia area. I also looked through the archives of the Haverford and Bi-Co News to look for connections between Haverford and China for an exhibit on Haverford's relationship with China.
During the 2008-2009 academic year I worked with Quaker Bibliographer and Special Collections Librarian Ann Upton on a number of projects. The first was an inventory of the William Jenks collection, a collection of early Quaker writings from around the time of the founding of the Society of Friends. The second project was a re-housing and inventory of the Quaker Broadside collection. This project has led to the on-going digitization of the collection. Upon completion of the inventory, I displayed some of the work I had done on the collection and gave a presentation to the Haverford Corporation/Board of Managers describing the project. I also regularly worked with Ann checking in Serials and keeping our Serials group collection up to date.
During the summer of 2009, I again worked with Diana Peterson to create a finding aid for the William Warder Cadbury and Catherine Jones Cadbury collection. For most of the summer I dealt with the numerous unsorted photos in the collection. Many of these photos were from their stay as Quaker missionaries in Canton, China at the Canton Christian College. I sorted them into folders, performed some light conservation on them, and ultimately created a finding aid so they can be easily available to scholars.
This fall, I have continued working with Ann Upton on the Serial groups and now the Pamphlet groups collections. In addition, I have been working on an inventory of the Quaker Rare Books Collection, a collection substantially larger than the Jenks Collection I worked with last year.
Outside of my work in Special Collections, I am a Philosophy major at Haverford and a Political Science minor at Bryn Mawr and am interested mostly in political philosophy. I also run on the cross country and track teams here at Haverford.

Moratoriums draw fire from oil industry
- published_in
- Today's News
"We are disappointed that the councils are moving quickly without all the relevant information," association President Tisha Conoly Schuller wrote in an email.
Loveland city councilors passed a nine-month moratorium on oil and natural-gas development Tuesday evening, while the Fort Collins City Council gave preliminary approval to its own temporary drilling ban.
Loveland's moratorium, passed as an emergency ordinance, takes effect immediately and lasts until Feb. 16. The drilling ban means the city will not accept any applications for oil and gas development.
Cities throughout the Front Range, including Erie, Longmont and Boulder, have passed similar moratoriums.
Loveland's ban follows requests by Centerra residents that the city enact a ban to prevent drilling in the area by Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
Mayor Cecil Gutierrez said he voted for the moratorium because the city lacks drilling regulations and because residents have expressed concern about the potential for oil and gas wells to be located near their homes.
"I personally don't want an oil well sitting in my backyard," Gutierrez. "I would say that probably most people wouldn't want an oil well sitting in their backyard."
"I think we need to have some input on where those wells are located," he added.
Fort Collins councilors passed the first reading of their own ordinance establishing an eight-month moratorium on oil and gas drilling applications Tuesday night. Oil and gas companies want to develop minerals at Meadow Springs Ranch and Soapstone Prairie Natural Area.
If approved, the ordinance would take effect June 15 and last until Feb. 15.
The moratorium may expire sooner if the city can more quickly complete a review to determine the most appropriate oil and gas drilling regulations, said Karen Cumbo, director of planning development and transportation.
The city has not updated regulations related to drilling for years, Cumbo said. Staffers will review issues such as access roads, flood-plains, buffers, noise and water and air quality.
"We really don't have much of a process in place to deal with it," she said. "Nor do our land-use regs really reflect both the current industry technology or current public concerns about it."
Councilors will decide June 5 whether to finally pass the moratorium.

Good perspective from Jeff Bezos who was speaking with Chicago tech company 37 Signals:
He said people who were right a lot of the time were people who often changed their minds. He doesn't think consistency of thought is a particularly positive trait. It's perfectly healthy — encouraged, even — to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today.
He's observed that the smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they'd already solved. They're open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking.

I have a separate freezer that I store my pumped milk in. It's out in the garage, and apparently the door didn't get fully latched last night. My husband found the door wide open this morning around 6, so the door was open for about 12 hours and most things in the freezer had started thawing (it was in the 40s last night).
I had around 150 oz of stored milk out there - do I have to toss it? I checked the bags after we found the door open, and most of them were still partially frozen. A few were fully thawed, and they are being tossed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ReviewBy Adam Rosenberg - Posted Nov 08, 2011
Modern Warfare 3 is a stellar experience, continuing Call of Duty's five-year reign as the premiere multiplayer FPS experience.
The Pros
- Better story with non-stop pace and explosive set pieces
- Multiplayer tweaks offer more depth, still inviting to newcomers
- Spec Ops missions return and new Survival mode is rewarding
- Call of Duty Elite integration is smooth and seems to work well
The Cons
- Two-player max for co-op play in Spec Ops
- Several Black Ops innovations are missed
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review:
The ground rumbles beneath my feet as I step out into the hazy daylight. The streets of lower Manhattan are a mess, but a loud noise from above immediately draws my attention to the sky-scraping rooftops in front of me.
The flaming wreckage of some ruined military vehicle slams right into the upper floors of the building across the street from me, sending huge chunks of pavement hurtling to the pavement below. It's a chilling sight for me, a native New Yorker, to see, immediately summoning to mind images of that fateful day in September, 2001.
This is the opening battleground of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Things only get crazier from here, as you'll soon find out. Why don't we first take a step back and look at the big picture?
Setting The Stage
Modern Warfare 3 puts Infinity Ward back at the helm of the first-person shooter series that it created. The developer returns after a year off to a dramatically changed landscape: there was the firing of IW's top brass Jason West and Vince Zampella in early 2010; the triumphant return of Electronic Arts' competing Battlefield franchise; and competition from within too, as the 2010 Call of Duty release from Treyarch, Black Ops, is seen by many fans as the strongest entry in the series.
Modern Warfare 3 arrives in stores in the midst of all this baggage. After the bad taste left with fans by Modern Warfare 2's poorly received story and glitch-heavy multiplayer, can IW, now working in a co-development relationship with Sledgehammer Games, possibly regain its footing? After spending three full days immersing myself in every aspect of the game, from the solo campaign to the new Elite social network, I have an answer to that question: absolutely, yes.
Weaving A Blockbuster Narrative
Let's start with the campaign. Modern Warfare 3 opens on the same sorry world that we left back in 2009. The United States is at war with Russia and, for the first time since the War of 1812, the conflict is unfolding on American soil. Meanwhile, Captain John Price, John "Soap" MacTavish, and the Russian informant Nikolai continue their under-the-radar campaign against Vladimir Makarov, the Ultranationalist terror leader who lit the proverbial fuse that started World War III.
As with past Call of Duty campaigns, players will spend much of their time jumping between different soldiers on different battlefields. The bulk of your time will be spent in the shoes of Delta Force operative Frost and Yuri, a loyalist Russian who is brought into Price's Task Force 141 by Nikolai. They're not the only characters you'll play as, but they're definitely this game's playable protagonists.
The campaign runs at a non-stop pace, hopping into and out of explosive set pieces scattered all across the globe. Call of Duty games have always been good about wrapping a narrative into blockbuster spectacle, and Modern Warfare 3 is a master class in that regard. I'm not going to spoil any of the great "holy s#@t!" moments; however, suffice to say, I found myself cackling and shouting at the insane happenings unfolding in front of me more than once in most of the game's environments.
Before we move on to look at the rest of MW3's delicious gumbo, one more note on the story: those who were worried where this one might go after the events of MW2 can set their minds at ease. The new game has more in common with the original Modern Warfare. None of the moments manage to hit quite as hard as the "execution level" and the nuke blast from IW's 2007 release, innovative as they were at the time, but I can think of two in particular that come damn close.
Enlisting For Battle In World War III
The multiplayer in Modern Warfare 3 presents the biggest target for criticism of the game. Many of the player-approved changes introduced by Treyarch in Black Ops -- a credits system for weapon and perk unlocks, contracts, wager matches, dolphin dives -- are gone. We're back now to the Modern Warfare model of player progression-based weapon, equipment, and perk unlocks. That's not to say nothing's changed, however.
The idea of killstreak rewards has been completely reimagined with the new Strike Packages. There are three of these: Assault, Support, and Specialist, which offer damage-dealing rewards, team-boosting rewards, and additional mid-match perk unlocks, respectively. You'll earn tokens as you rise through the levels that can be spent on unlocking additional options in each of these categories.
What's really game-changing about the Strike Packages isn't what they offer, but how they work. Assault is the most immediately familiar; pick up a killstreak in the course of a single spawn and you unlock rewards. Support is geared more toward less streak-oriented players; the kills you earn across all of your spawns in a given match all add up toward the reward counter. Specialist works like Assault does with killstreaks, only perks are your rewards.
It's a relatively small change that adds a great deal of depth to the strategic options arrayed before you in Call of Duty's multiplayer. Each package offers rewards to different types of players. In the same way that Modern Warfare's level progression lured in gamers that hadn't yet boarded the online multiplayer train, MW3's Strike Packages promise to do the same for those who feel like they're not "good" enough to compete.
There are other tweaks too. Weapon proficiencies are a big one; you now earn firearm-specific experience as you invest time with one gun or another. As you rise through the levels, you'll unlock weapon-specific perks that improve things like kickback and penetration damage, as well as the expected set of attachments: scopes, sights, underbarrel armaments, and the like.
The Prestige Shop is new as well. Players still have the option of resetting their user data when they hit the new level 80 cap, but now the reward for doing so is more customizable. You'll earn a token every time you Prestige -- you'll also start with one token apiece for each Call of Duty game you've gone the Prestige route in -- which can be spent on things like: two hours of double XP (general or weapons, you choose), custom class slots, and emblems.
There are two standouts in the Prestige Shop, however. One, Unlock Gear, allows you to choose a weapon, piece of equipment, or perk that will remain unlocked for class creation purposes across all future Prestige resets, regardless of what level the item typically unlocks at. There's also a reset all stats option that unlocks at the 10th level Prestige, essentially giving players the option to start fresh once they've hit the apparent max level.
There's more too. A pair of new modes: Kill Confirmed and Team Defender. An enhanced set of tools for setting up private matches, along with an assortment of fun unranked modes that you can build custom match types around. All of the multiplayer unlocks are open to use in private matches too, regardless of what your ranked MP level is. And of course, wrapping around everything in multiplayer is Call of Duty Elite, Activision's franchise-specific stat-tracker/social network. An in-game UI provides access to a simplified version of what you see on the website; it's all very easy to navigate.
None of these features would amount to much if the game didn't play right, but that's never been an issue for Call of Duty. The strengths and weaknesses of the 16 included multiplayer maps will only become clear through extended play, but they look great and they're definitely fun to do battle on.
Call of Duty multiplayer is and always has been analogous with paintball, and that doesn't change in Modern Warfare 3. It's definitely a more complex and long-term investment-oriented take on paintball than the series has yet seen, but you're ultimately still looking at one of the fastest-paced, team-based, vehicle-free, multiplayer shooters on the market. Modern Warfare 3 evolves the formula in some very welcome ways, but there's nothing that fans will have a hard time adapting to.
Fighting In An Army Of Two
Finally we come to Spec Ops, the newly spruced-up mode returning from its Modern Warfare 2 debut. Spec Ops was the highlight of the 2009 game for many fans. It's definitely still *a* highlight in MW3, but the two-player cap on the co-op Mission and Survival modes is a definite drawback in this increasingly cooperative play-driven gaming world.
This is especially true for Survival, which can be described as MW3's own take on Treyarch's hugely successful Zombies survival mode. This is a wave-based challenge in which one or two players take on increasingly difficult groups of enemies. You start with a pistol and a handful of grenades, but scoring kills earns you money, which can in turn be spent on more weapons, ammo, upgrades, equipment, and support requests, like Predator missiles or an AI-controlled Delta Squad.
These Survival matches all play out on the game's 16 multiplayer maps, so it's just as good for learning the MP maps as it is for a fun co-op experience. There's a twist, however. Spec Ops, like multiplayer, is driven by a level-based progression and system of unlocks. As you play and earn experience, you'll unlock a wider array of tools for use in Survival, as well as the full selection of maps (only four are unlocked at first). Plugging away in that mode is one way of earning experience, but Spec Ops also brings back MW2's missions.
There are 16 missions in all, unlocking in groups of four as you earn stars in each, up to three per mission. If you enjoyed the twist that many of MW2's Spec Ops missions brought in, then you'll love the offering in MW3. There are a few that are simply built around stacking up a body count, but most have some sort of co-op-oriented twist.
In one of my favorites, one player controls a series of remote turrets while the other moves through an environment, hacking computers along the way to give the first player access to new, more well-placed turrets. In another, one players breaks into an enemy base while receiving support from an AC-130, controlled by the second player. Fun times to be had here.
Summing It All Up
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a proud return to form for Infinity Ward, with no small amount of thanks and props going to Sledgehammer Games as well. The two studios hit the ground running with the tight campaign, and it's a pace that never lets up. Campaign, multiplayer, and Spec Ops all deliver what they're supposed to -- with better visuals and tighter controls than the games that came in years past, naturally -- and the Elite social network promises to keep bringing a lot of fresh appeal to the experience in the months following the game's release.
You didn't need me to tell you that this game is awesome, but it is all the same. If you're a fan, you will continue to be. If you're not, maybe it's time you boarded the hype train. Modern Warfare 3 is a stellar experience, continuing Call of Duty's five-year reign as the premiere multiplayer FPS experience.

Sheetz to open in Ripley
RIPLEY – A convenience store and gasoline station chain known for making fresh specialty sandwiches is coming to Ripley with the possibility of eventually making it to the Parkersburg area.
Officials with Sheetz this week confirmed the Ripley store.
"We just signed the agreement last week," said David Hazelet, Sheetz real estate manager.
Hazelet declined to say where the business would be located, because there is a business in operation at the site and he did not know if the owner had made the announcement to his employees.
"It will be in a high-traffic area in Ripley," he said.
Ripley Mayor Carolyn Rader said the business will be on West Main Street at the site of the McCoy Inn and Conference Center. Rader said she recently talked with owner John Paul McCoy about the change.
"This is definitely going to happen," she said.
McCoy was ready to make a change in his life after 40 years with the motel, which Rader described as a local "icon."
"I am going to hate to see that building go," she said. "I am excited for Mr. McCoy for him to be able to start this new chapter in his life. This is a wonderful opportunity in his life. Mr. McCoy has been a pillar in our city."
Rader said it is always a good thing to welcome a new business to the area.
"This will be a perfect location for Sheetz," she said. "I am sure they have done their homework on the city government and what kind of people are here. I hope they feel positive about coming here."
Sheetz is based in Altoona, Pa., with more than 437 locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina. Sheetz operates more than 40 stores in West Virginia, including Morgantown, Charleston, Huntington, Beckley, Bridgeport, Hurricane, Summersville and Martinsburg. There are three locations around Beckley with a fourth under contract.
Sheetz is open around the clock and offers fresh food items like Sheetz' signature Made To Order items that include Angus beef burgers, premium grilled chicken sandwiches, sub sandwiches, freshly made salads, french fries and onion rings.
Sheetz locations have featured their MTGo! and Shweetz Bakery lines of sandwiches, wraps, doughnuts and muffins, along with Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista where customers can order handmade specialty coffee drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos and mochas-hot, frozen or iced.
What will be offered at the Ripley location has not been released.
Hazelet said the company is continuing to expand outward with additional sites being considered in West Virginia with an eye on eventually having a location in the Parkersburg area.
"After Ripley, (Parkersburg) would be the next logical geographic area we would look at," he said. "However, as of now, we have not spent any time in Parkersburg."
The Charleston Daily Mail this week reported South Charleston City Council has given preliminary approval to re-zone property for a Sheetz gasoline station and convenience store on MacCorkle Avenue in Spring Hill. The store will take up an entire block.
As for Ripley, Hazelet said work is expected to begin on the site next spring. The opening is expected to occur in late 2014 or early 2015.
new businesses create new opportunities, Rader said.
"In the end, all of this is going to be positive for the city," she said. "We will certainly welcome this new business to our area."

Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYThis collector's item shows Nolan Ryan from his California Angels days after striking out his 5,000th career batter on Aug. 22, 1989 with Texas. In 1972, his first year with the Halos, Ryan became the first right-hander since Bob Feller with 300 strikeouts. Ryan would set a modern record with 383 Ks in 1973.

'Malcolm and Teresa' has trouble finding heart of pair's connection
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article
Neko Case's voice shines in an elegant, melancholy set
The human voice can be the most singularly beautiful musical instrument there is, but it's not hard to think of well-compensated pop singers who treat their instruments, or allow them to be treated, as if they were beside the point.
Neko Case is not among them. »Read Full Article(1)

- Abstract
- We examine the correlation function ξ of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Luminous Red Galaxy sample at large scales (60 h -1 Mpc < s < 400h -1Mpc) using the final data release (DR7). Focusing on a quasi-volume-limited (0.16 < z < 0.36) subsample and utilizing mock galaxy catalogs, we demonstrate that the observed baryonic acoustic peak and larger scale signal are consistent with lambda-CDM at 70%-95% confidence. Fitting data to a non-linear, redshift-space, template-based model, we constrain the peak position at s p = 101.7 3.0h -1Mpc when fitting the range 60 h -1 Mpc < s < 150h -1Mpc (1σ uncertainties). This redshift-space distance s p is related to the comoving sound horizon scale r s after taking into account matter-clustering non-linearities, redshift distortions, and galaxy-clustering bias. Mock catalogs show that the probability that a DR7-sized sample would not have an identifiable peak is at least 10%. As a consistency check of a fiducial cosmology, we use the observed s p to obtain the distance relative to the acoustic scale. We find r s /D V (z = 0.278) = 0.1389 0.0043. This result is in excellent agreement with Percival et al., who examine roughly the same data set, but use the power spectrum. Comparison with other determinations in the literature are also in very good agreement. The signal of the full sample at 125 h -1 Mpc < s < 200h -1Mpc tends to be high relative to theoretical expectations; this slight deviation can probably be attributed to sample variance. We have tested our results against a battery of possible systematic effects, finding all effects are smaller than our estimated sample variance.

Smoking ban passes in Buckhannon
The smoking ban in Buckhannon's public parks and recreational areas will take effect 30 days from its approval Thursday at Buckhannon City Council – in plenty of time to be enforced during the West Virginia Strawberry Festival.
In addition to cigarettes and smokeless tobacoo, the ban also encompasses electronic smoking devices.
Concerns were aired prior to the ordinance's unanimous approval on second and final reading. Councilmen Scott Preston and John Waltz were unable to attend.
Rick Edwards, who films the meetings later to be aired on Channel 3 in Upshur County, stepped away from the camera long enough to express his opposition to parts of the ordinance. Edwards said that although he is a smoker, he supports banning tobacco products in public parks and recreational areas.
Edwards said he has an issue with the inclusion of electronic cigarettes, because they aren't technically a tobacco product.
"I don't believe it belongs in your ordinance," Edwards said. "If you ban nicotine devices, you would also have to ban patches, lozenges and gum."
Councilman Ron Pugh said he also was vehemently opposed to the inclusion of the devices in the ordinance until he researched the matter further. He said he learned that there is no proof that the devices do or do not help a smoker to quit. Furthermore, he said the devices emit a vapor that also is an irritant to some people.
"I'm in favor of passing this bill tonight as it is written," Pugh said. "Let it go as it is. If there are issues with it later, then let those come forward in the form of whatever (action) anybody wants to take."
Edwards also expressed concerns with the weight of the penalties outlined in the ordinance. The penalties are increased with each cumulative violation within a 24-month time period. The fine for first-offense violators deemed guilty by the municipal court is $50. The second-offense fine is $100, the third-offense fine is $200 and the fourth-offense fine is $400. The fine caps off at $500 for the fifth and all subsequent offenses.
"Twenty-four months is excessive," Edwards said. "If you continually adjust that up, it really gets to be an expensive ordeal."
Mayor Kenny Davidson also expressed concern stemming from discussions with other smokers who he said just want a designated spot to smoke at each location. He asked the council if it would be willing to consider amending the ordinance in favor of designating a smoking area at the properties where the ban would be effective. Pugh addressed the suggestion.
"I cannot stand to smell cigarette smoke," he said. "It doesn't matter where you're standing outdoors. If somebody is smoking 500 feet away, I can still smell that cigarette smoke, especially when the wind changes. So there really is no true designated area for smokers."
Davidson also questioned if city council would be approving an ordinance too difficult to enforce.
The council approved the ordinance without change.

Health Insurance Knowledge SurveyObjective: TRICARE beneficiaries are assumed capable of making educated decisions concerning their health insurance. These decisions may affect the quality of care received, cost, coverage, use of health services, and level of the perceived/satisfaction with health services. The level of health insurance knowledge can vary greatly within a population. In the Medicare population, personal attributes that are associated with insurance knowledge include level of education, income, and experience within the health care system (Lubalin 1999). TMA, HPA&E designed a survey and conducted a pilot study of TRICARE beneficiaries' knowledge of and satisfaction with their health insurance program. A telephone interview was conducted of a sample of all MHS beneficiaries and included questions to determine their knowledge of fundamental health insurance terms and concepts.
Results: There is a high level of overall satisfaction with TRICARE and TRICARE assistance and benefit information. Beneficiaries use a variety of sources for assistance and information. A sample of MHS beneficiaries were asked by telephone to indicate their satisfaction with TRICARE; 76% indicate they are "Satisfied" or "Very Satisfied", 13% indicate they are "Dissatisfied" or "Very Dissatisfied". The top three sources of information about TRICARE are TRICARE Service Centers (26% used), TRICARE pamphlets (20% used), and Retiree Organization Newsletters (13% used). The most frequently cited reason for using a TRICARE Service Center, Web site, or TRICARE pamphlet was for questions about "coverage or benefits" (35%). This compares to use of these sources for questions about a "claim" (21%), "approval for a service" (13%), a "cost" issue (4%), or some other reason (25%). 92% of those who went to a TRICARE Service Center, Web site, or TRICARE pamphlet report that they got the information they needed. 84% report that the information was "easy" or "very easy" to find and understand. 74% of respondents report that they have "most" or "all" of the information they need on TRICARE coverage and costs. While Medicare eligible beneficiaries correctly answered a general question re. TRICARE for Life more often than others under age 65 (90% vs. 61%), they were correct less often on 6 additional questions about MHS benefits and insurance fundamentals.

text: Well it finally happened...as I said in my other post I was feeling I did not have enough in the evenings, but today I felt dry since the morning and struggled through the day with dd nursing every 30 min or so, and then non stop from 6 to 10 pm when I gave up and gave her formula with the sns ( had alrady used all my ebm from the night during the day). She ate about 40 ml (1.5 oz) and finally seemed happier and fell asleep for a while.. Seems that my supply cannot follow the demand even if I let her nurse on demand, I want to try to pump to increase supply but do not know how to do best as my time is very limited due to all this nursing. Plus I have to feed her all my ebm it seems so I am not sure if this helps increasing supply anyway or if I should be able to spare some ebm to see an increase? Please help!

Summer Recap 2: Random Photos
Before I get into the random photos portion of this blog entry, I must note that today is the first day of school for my offspring. I'm ecstatic; they're not. I need to pause to celebrate.
<gets up and does a little dance>
I'll actually be able to compose this entry without being interrupted umpteen times.🙂
In no particular order, then, here are some of my favorite summer baseball photos:
Baseball and hot dogs – a classic, timeless combination. An army of Diggitys stands ready for battle in the Lehigh Valley IronPigs clubhouse store.
Speaking of clubhouse stores, one of the oddest items I've seen was at the Wilmington Blue Rocks' store. The Blue Rocks have two popular mascots, Rocky Bluewinkle and Mr. Celery:
I'm not sure what celery has to do with baseball, but nonetheless a large stalk of celery runs onto the field to celebrate after every run scored by the Blue Rocks. This, however, is apparently what would be created should these two ever be able to mate:
My daughter had to buy it, and she calls it "Rocky Celwinkle". Since both Rocky and Mr. Celery are ostensibly male, I'm not sure how this would actually occur.
In Reading Phillies game action, this Trenton Thunder baserunner is out at first by a step, as R-Phils first-baseman Matt Rizzotti makes the play. Rizzotti finished up the season at triple-A Lehigh Valley.
"My ball is bigger than yours!" Members of the Wilmington Blue Rocks bullpen seem to be comparing sizes. This photo just screams out for some sort of suggestive caption. Send me your best – if it makes me laugh I'll put it in my next entry.
Cole Hamels has been pitching really well lately, though you wouldn't know it from his 9-10 record. In July, I took my daughter to the last game before the All-Star break, and saw Cole get a 1-0 victory over the Reds.
**Note to Phillies offense: Please give Cole some run support!**
Attack of the 50-foot Phanatic!!
Rocky Bluewinkle makes sure that home plate is sparkling white, though I'm not sure if it's minty fresh.
After a head-first slide into third with a triple, Blue Rocks infielder Rey Navarro needs to make a few, um, adjustments.
Most of my summer baseball viewing was spent not on the Phillies or any other professional team, but on my son's team. This was the first year he tried out for a summer team, and let's just say it's quite a time commitment. After a brief respite during August, it's back to baseball as he has decided to play fall ball and forego football this year.
Which is OK with me.

Your son has good form :O) Great photos…love the toothbrush at home plate. As for school, I'd have been thrilled to start this week. Been back 2 weeks already and just over a week for the kids. Sucks starting that early! But the kids having something to do is better than hearing "I'm bored!" all day ;o)
Love the picture of your kid. He looks good on the mound! I got to start going to more minor league ballparks. They do such great stuff and is always fun watching the kids play.
The Blue Rocks look like a great team to support. I think they do the 'tooth brush' thing in Cedar Rapids, too. I've seen some interesting things go on in bullpens over the years. Fun stuff.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Your son is a regular Cole Hamels! lol. I think it's great that he's going all out for baseball. He couldn't have a better "stage mother!"
Jenn – Wow, your school starts early! I know what you mean about the chorus of "I'm bored"; heard it all summer!
Emma – You should definitely try to get to some of the minor league parks next year – unfortunately most of them are now done for the season unless they made playoffs. All kinds of fun stuff going on, and not nearly as crowded. Looks like there are several within driving distance of LA.
Mike – The toothbrush seems pretty popular – they also have one in Reading, though instead of one of the mascots, there is an actual "tooth fairy" that walks/skips around the bases. I'd guess it's one of the female interns, wearing an embarrassing outfit complete with pink fairy wings. I'll have to try to get a picture of it next season!
Your daughter seems to have that..' do I have to Mom ' look on her face and your son is obviously go the right goals in mind…
the photo caption, I'd have to go with..
"I hear they have flood lights in the big leagues, not these luminous balls for night games"
Good for your son! You must be glad he's putting football aside for baseball (besides, baseball is a thinker's sport). The wheels are turning on a caption for the Rocks and their balls pic… unfortunately, none of them are rated R or less. LOL.
Jane – If only he were a lefty! Oddly enough, he writes lefthanded, but plays sports righthanded.
Peter – Yes, it's a bit of the "do I have to" look, combined with the sun shining in her eyes.
Jeff – I'm sure your captions are hilarious! I guess they'd probably get asterisked out by the blog filter – darn!
I TOOK THAT SAME PICTURE of the little weenies in the gift shop!!! I went during 4th July weekend. I was taking pics of everything…they finally stopped me; told me I wasn't allowed. By then I had at least 60 pics. I do it everywhere I go! LOL Wait till my wife hears I'm not the only psycho taking pictures of stuffed animals in the gift shop!

Interesting Northcoast. Thanks for posting that.
Interesting Northcoast. Thanks for posting that.
The positions I think the Steelers will eliminate as a 1st round pick is:
QB, RB, OL, DL, CB and...... OLB
That leaves ILB, WR, S, TE.
I don't know think Vacarro will be the pick and he is the only safety rated high enough to be a #17 pick. The safety class is deep this year and I don't think the Steelers will address S in the 1st round. Also, I don't **think** Eifert will be the pick. Eliminating both Eifert and Vacarro eliminates the S and TE position. That leaves us with WR and ILB.
I could see Kevin Minter or Authur Brown as a possible ILB pick. I could see Patterson (don't like the pick), Allen or Hopkins as being the pick.
If it came down to that scenario, I'd prefer Hopkins or Minter. Sadly, I think Tomlin & Colbert will screw it up and pick Brown or Patterson.
If I were a betting man, I believe the Steelers will go OLB or S in the first.
1.25 CB Eli Apple-DB-tOSU
2.58 SS Vonn Bell-DB tOSU
3.89 DT Javon Hargrave-SC State
4.123 DE-Matt Judon-Grand Valley State
6.220 RB-Tyler Erwin-San Jose State
7.229 WR Geronimo Allison-Ilinois
7.246 QB-Cody Kessler-USC
2013 MNF Executive Champion!
Round 1, Pick 25 (25): Artie Burns, CB; Miami
Round 2, Pick 27 (58 ): Sean Davis, S; Maryland
Round 3, Pick 26 (89): Javon Hargrave, DT; South Carolina State
Round 4, Pick 25 (123): Jerald Hawkins, OT; LSU
Round 6, Pick 45 (220) (Compensatory Selection): Travis Feeney, OLB; Washington
Round 7, Pick 8 (229) (From Giants): DeMarcus Ayers, WR; Houston
Round 7, Pick 25 (246): Tyler Matakevich, OLB; Temple
2017 Draft Switch to the 4-3
1-Derek Barnett-DE-Tenn
2-Hassan Reddick-OLB-Temple
3-Mason-Rudolp-QB-OK st
I think the Steelers ought to add a tackle to their draft list. I don't know about the first round, but isn't it hard to find a quality LT if you wait too long into the draft?
Highest possiblity
ILB, pass rusher, S, TE, and WR
Lower probability
I think if a great player that the Steelers have rated in their top 10 falls, they will likely take him regardless of position. Cooper, Lane Johnson, Lotuleili, Milner, and Ansah all probably fit into this category. Warmack, Jarvis Jones, Vaccaro and Patterson could also be in their top 10, but I doubt it.
Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
That leaves WR (Patterson I would love) or OL. Outside chance of a Nose Tackle which is a pick I would hate at #17.
I still think Eifert, Patterson or John Cooper are our best options in that order.
It's going to come down to the player available...
There are a number of positions that could be upgraded...
1.25) Artie Burns - CB, Miami (Mackensie Aleander)
2.58 ) Sean Davis - S/CB, Maryland (Deion Jones)
3.89) Javon Hargrave - DT, S. Carolina St. (Nick Vannett)
4.123) Jerald Hawkins - OT, LSU (Deandre Houston-Carson)
6.220) Travis Feeny - OLB, Wash (Darius Jackson)
7.227) Demarcus Ayers - WR, Hou (Graham Glasgow)
7.246) Tyler Matakevich - OLB, Temple (Travis Feeney)
The referee said that you hit Brian Sipe too hard. Did you hit him too hard?
I hit him as hard as I could - Jack Lambert


text: My baby is all of a sudden becoming more interested in what is going on around her (16 week yesterday). It has been very difficult to feed her because of the interesting fan on the ceiling. When I try to roll her on her side to feed, she screams and rolls back to look up at and talk to the fan. I know it is normal for them to become so distracted. Do I just wait and let her eat when she is really hungry? I mean obviously I can't force her, but this is super irritating!! She is fussy, but won't eat cause she is distracted!!!! Do I need to be super attentive to make sure she is eating or does it work itself out without too much vigilance?
