Washington to apply for reinstatementPosted by on April 10, 2015 – 4:12 pm
There have been a lot of questions about the status of suspended linebacker Daryl Washington, and nothing can happen until he is reinstated. His agent told Kent Somers that request to the NFL is coming "in the next week or so," which will start the clock on the NFL considering Washington's future. That's a small part of Kent's comprehensive breakdown of what is facing Washington and the Cardinals next. It's a good read.
Whenever Washington is reinstated, his contract picks up where it was essentially frozen last May when he was suspended — meaning in terms of his salary, he will play 2015 like it was 2014, and so on along this contract. Washington did just get paid the $5 million he was owed on his deferred bonus money from pre-suspension. And again, when and if Washington is reinstated, he still doesn't know if there will be NFL punishment handed down for his assault conviction last year.

Bucannon as safety, not (as much) linebackerPosted by on March 30, 2015 – 9:31 am
Deone Bucannon was drafted as a safety, and then basically played linebacker all season. It was necessary because the Cardinals lost Daryl Washington and never quite found a linebacker replacement — so then-defensive coordinator Todd Bowles dropped the rookie into the mix in the nickel package as the new Washington.
Bucannon did pretty well in the role. But he sees himself as a safety and so do the Cardinals, and Bucannon will be a safety in 2015 — unless he isn't.
"He's going to play safety," coach Bruce Arians said. "We know he can play dime linebacker. He'll play safety until we find out we don't have the other guy."
What does that mean, exactly? Well, newcomer Sean Weatherspoon, if healthy, is a three-down linebacker. And there is still a chance the Cardinals will bring back Washington. If Washington does not return — or even if he does — the Cardinals could still draft another (speedy) inside linebacker. I don't know if there is anyone out there left on the free agent market the Cardinals could sign for that role but it wouldn't be unheard of for the position later in the offseason (Karlos Dansby, Larry Foote). Another factor: The Cards are flush at safety, with Tyrann Mathieu, Tony Jefferson and Rashad Johnson along with Bucannon.
"We know we have the flexibility because we have so many good, quality safeties," Arians said. "He'll still play (some linebacker) because we will still have that package. We like to have that much speed on the field."

Arians: Suspended players need structurePosted by on March 27, 2015 – 9:48 am
When Bruce Arians was asked about suspended linebacker Daryl Washington earlier this week, he declined again. Arians has been pretty straightforward with handling questions about Washington that way. "He's not even a part of our team so there's no sense in talking about him," Arians said.
Washington recently spoke about his excitement about returning to the NFL. It's still no guarantee. The NFL still has to reinstate him, and in terms of the Cardinals, he's still going to have to rebuild the trust he shredded on his way to his year-long punishment. (And that doesn't include any other possible NFL punishment for his assault conviction.)
In general terms, though, Arians was willing to talk about how suspended players are treated. Washington, like other players with long-term suspensions, has not been allowed to be around the facility.
"I would definitely not isolate them from the only structure in their life," Arians said. "You have to make sure they have structure on their life. Hopefully, that structure will help them overcome the problem — not turn them loose on themselves because obviously when they're by themselves they can't handle it. … Not just the team, but structured rehab with the team."

Optimistic Washington awaits reinstatementPosted by on March 22, 2015 – 11:56 am
The future of Daryl Washington as a Cardinal remains vague, since Daryl Washington the football player remains suspended by the NFL for violation of the substance abuse policy. That suspension was supposed to last for at least a year — late May — although the CBA does allow for Washington to begin the reinstatement process right around this time. The Cardinals aren't talking about Washington or his status on the team until he is finally reinstated. Even when that happens, Washington must find out if there is any league punishment on last year's assault conviction (which, assuming he went through the proper post-plea steps, should have been moved to a misdemeanor by now.)
But Mike Jurecki scored a coup when he recently talked to Washington. Washington told Jurecki he had completed anger management courses and said he hasn't failed or missed any of the random drug tests he has needed to take. If true, both are positive steps towards reinstatement, I'd think. Of course, even if reinstated, there are other issues with which to deal — not the least of which is being able to regain the trust of the organization and teammates. Washington did say he's had support from a number of teammates.
"I'm looking forward to a fresh start, and excited about playing football again," Washington told Jurecki. "I've even thought about changing my number."

The case for more speed and Daryl WashingtonPosted by on February 26, 2015 – 9:39 am
It's been repeated many times over the past few weeks, by both GM Steve Keim and especially coach Bruce Arians: The Cardinals are seeking more speed on defense. That was the first thing Arians mentioned at the recent Scouting combine, when he was asked what the team needed to do in rebuilding.
"We need speed at all our linebacker positions," Arians said. "And continue to develop Kevin Minter into a better player. That's important. But overall speed at all our linebacker positions."
Minter is a key because he was a former second-round pick, but he was never drafted to be a speed guy. That was supposed to be Daryl Washington, whose game is predicated on speed. Washington's future continues to be murky. According to the CBA, he can't even begin the reinstatement process until sometime in early March, or 60 days before the end of what will be a year suspension. (The suspension was for at least a year; It was announced May 30 but the official notice might have come before that.) Then the NFL has to rule. Until then, the Cardinals say they aren't even thinking about Washington and I would suppose they move forward in their defensive rebuild without him in mind. If he returns — remember, he still could face NFL punishment for his assault plea from last year — then it's a bonus.
But in 2013, Arians saw first-hand what Washington's speed could do. There is no denying Karlos Dansby had a fantastic season in 2013, but his play jumped another level when Washington returned from a four-game suspension that season. When you have guys that can cover ground sideline to sideline, when you have guys who can watch and keep up with someone like Russell Wilson if Wilson decides to scramble, then your defense has a different look.
That would seem to be a natural place for the Cardinals to start in free agency. How much speed might be available on the inside linebacker FA market is a different story. But when the first word out of the coach's mouth each time he's asked the question is "speed," it's obviously a priority.

Foote, as player, or as coachPosted by on February 9, 2015 – 10:13 am
When the news first trickled out last week that the Cardinals could be interested in Larry Foote as Bruce Arians' "ex-player-to-add-to-the-coaching-staff" candidate, I immediately thought of something Foote said back in October. It struck me a bit odd at the time, but in the current context, maybe Foote's coaching possibility has been long in the queue.
Foote was talking about what the Cardinals wanted him as initially, because that was before Daryl Washington was going to be lost for the season by suspension — but the Cards were assuming Washington would be sitting a few games as a suspension because of his assault guilty plea.
"Daryl was supposed to be suspended four to six games and I was, 'OK, I can come play and coach' and he ended up gone for the year," Foote said.
Again, Foote brought it up in the context that he was drastically underpaid given what role he ended up having. But the line about coaching seems relevant now. Foote said after the season he hadn't decided if he still wanted to play in 2015. I'd be stunned if the Cardinals wouldn't want him back as a player if that's what he decided to do, as a leader and mentor. You wouldn't want him playing as much as he did in 2014 — Foote wore down as the season went on, understandably — but he could still be a valuable piece and certainly a guy you want influencing players like Kevin Minter and Washington.
(A quick side note: I found it interesting O'Brien Schofield admitted he was following the wrong guys in the locker room when he was with the Cards. The team doesn't have to worry about that if Foote is around.)
If Foote decides playing isn't what he wants, he can still be that leader as a coach. The players know he's done it before. Foote can help with that bridge between the departed Todd Bowles and new defensive coordinator James Bettcher. Either way, Foote "gets it" and is someone you want around. As he intimated a few months ago, coaching might have always been part of the plan.

Cards will take Washington absence into accountPosted by on January 29, 2015 – 3:19 pm
One of the many things the Cardinals must sort through this offseason is what to do with suspended linebacker Daryl Washington if and when he returns — and how to plan for the season with his status in limbo for the next few months. Washington's suspension, which is for a year before he can request NFL reinstatement, lasts until late May. That's after free agency, and it's after the draft. Until this suspension ends, it seems unlikely the NFL will hand down whatever suspension Washington might get for his assault conviction from last year.
That's a lot of uncertainty, and why team president Michael Bidwill said Thursday the Cardinals are going to go through the offseason ready to not have Washington available — and if he is around, the Cards will be that much better off.
"He'll be facing the issue with the domestic violence and there has been no determination of what happens there," Bidwill said. "He was only suspended for the drug issue, so we want to make sure we understand what that (other punishment) is. Last year, we learned about his suspension after free agency. This year we are going to plan to make sure we address all the issues not knowing whether Daryl will be back for part of next season or all of next season. 'Next man up' is real but we have to make sure we've gone into free agency and addressed that situation."
— Bidwill reiterated once again he is optimistic the Cardinals and Larry Fitzgerald will come to an agreement on a new contract.
"Larry and I have met about it, just he and I talking about it, and I know he's interested in getting something resolved," Bidwill said. "After the playoff game, he got away, left the country. He's back now, it's a busy week this week and we'll start working on this next week. I think we'll get this all worked out.
"He's such a great person and a great player, he's got many years left and I want to see him retire as an Arizona Cardinal. I want to see us move past getting this contract resolved and move forward."
— The other Cardinal facing legal issues, running back Jonathan Dwyer, had his case play out Thursday. The running back, who had been arrested in September, pled guilty to a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. He was sentenced him to 18 months probation and community service. Dwyer is scheduled to become a free agent in March.
— Bidwill said again he plans on giving General Manager Steve Keim and head coach Bruce Arians contract extensions soon.

New drug policy doesn't impact WashingtonPosted by on September 17, 2014 – 9:43 am
The NFL and NFL Players Association jointly announced their new drug policy today, which changes acceptable levels of certain drugs and other issues. There have been a lot of questions — a lot — about Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington and his current one-year suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The new policy does not change Washington's situation. I know that mystifies some, but a) the new policy was not going to change the situation for many guys under suspension and b) you (and I, for that matter) don't know all the details of Washington's trouble and how he ended up with a year-long ban. Bottom line, nothing has changed for him.
Further, whenever (and if) Washington is reinstated — because the current suspension is for at least a year — he still faces NFL discipline for his assault charge for which he pleaded guilty. You'd think Washington is far from returning to the football field, if he ever does.
The full text of the joint NFL-NFLPA release about the new drug policy:
The NFL and NFL Players Association have reached agreement on wide-ranging improvements to their policy on performance enhancing substances that include the use of third-party arbitration appeals of positive tests and implementation of testing for human growth hormone within the next few weeks.
The NFL and NFLPA are nearing an agreement on changes to the substance abuse policy that is expected to be announced when it is completed.
Key revisions to the program on performance enhancing substances are:
- HGH testing will be fully implemented this season. Information on testing procedures will be sent to clubs and players within the week, and testing should begin by the end of this month.
- Appeals of positive tests in the performance enhancing drug programs (including HGH) will be heard by third-party arbitrators jointly selected and retained by the NFL and NFLPA. Appeals will be processed more expeditiously under improved rules and procedures.
- Discipline of players for certain violations in the 2014 league year will be adjusted to reflect the new policy. Wes Welker of the Denver Broncos, Orlando Scandrick of the Dallas Cowboys and Stedman Bailey of the St. Louis Rams will be eligible to return to their teams this week.
- Discipline for violations of the performance enhancing drug policy (including for HGH) will be modified.
- A first violation will result in a suspension without pay of up to six games depending on the nature of the violation. Use of a diuretic or masking agent will result in a suspension without pay of two games. Use of a steroid, stimulant, HGH or other banned substance will result in a suspension without pay of four games. Evidence of an attempt to manipulate a test will result in a suspension without pay of six games.
- A second violation of the steroid policy will result in a suspension without pay of 10 games. A third violation will result in banishment for a minimum of two years.
- Players who test positive for banned stimulants in the off-season will no longer be suspended. Instead, the player will be referred to the substance abuse program. Players who test positive for banned stimulants during the season will continue to be suspended without pay for four games.
- In cases involving discipline for violations other than positive tests (for example, a violation of law), the Commissioner will retain his current disciplinary authority. A player will have a right of appeal based on due process issues or a claim of disparate punishment. This appeal will be heard by a member of the existing CBA Appeals Panel.
Previously, the Collective Bargaining Agreement ratified in 2011 utilized the policies in place under the 2006 CBA.

Game day for Andre and Saturday before the ChargersPosted by on September 6, 2014 – 3:02 pm
Will he or won't he? I'm sure the last thing the Cardinals wanted going into the opener was having their key offensive piece be a game-day decision, but that's where we are left with running back Andre Ellington and his pesky foot problem. Bruce Arians said Ellington did enough in practice Saturday (pictured right) to convince him that Ellington could possibly play Monday, so there is that.
"We can't worry about injuries," Arians said. "Nobody cares but us."
Even if he doesn't play, the beat moves on. If you look at the key guys not playing in total that you had hoped would – Washington and Mathieu and Dockett and Cooper, aside from Ellington – it can be a daunting list. But these are things that don't make Bruce Arians flinch. He will forever have that 2012 season with the Colts burned on his brain, when everyone seemed to get hurt for Indy (except for Andrew Luck) and they still won 11 games. That will be the memory Arians will fall back upon, and why his "Next Man Up" battle cry isn't just lip service. Whether the Cardinals can too make it work, we'll see. The Chargers are just the first in a tough schedule.
— Punter Dave Zastudil was added to the injury list as questionable Saturday with a groin injury. That's not good, obviously. The Cardinals did cut linebacker Desmond Bishop Saturday, so maybe the Cardinals fill that spot with a new punter if Zastudil can't go. (Kicker Chandler Catanzaro punted once last season in college at Clemson.)
— If I had to pick just one major key to the game Monday, I'd have to go with the pressure the Cardinals need to put on Philip Rivers. There are other important aspects, of course. The Cardinals need to show they can stop the run again, and they need to protect Carson Palmer as promised. But after the vanilla preseason, it's important that the Cards can hurry Rivers in the pocket. Once in a while without a blitz, preferably.
— Here is not a surprise in the least: The presence of new left tackle Jared Veldheer has completely changed the tension level for offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin.
"For me, for Carson, it's about being comfortable," Goodwin said. "For me, I can worry about other things. I don't have to worry about chip-help for the tackle all the time. That relieves a whole lot of stress."
No question Veldheer gives the Cardinals something Levi Brown simply did not, and that Bradley Sowell can not. In the end, Veldheer is seen by many fans as a savior to that position, although Veldheer isn't all that comfortable with the notion.
"I guess that's an OK thing, but to me, the biggest thing is being accountable to the guys on the line and the offense and the team," he said. "And that's me doing my job."
— Got a chance to catch up briefly with Darnell Dockett yesterday, and he was as Darnell as always. He's already pushing himself hard on his knee, even this early.
"You put the time in, got nothing else to do," he said. "My coaches are supporting me, they know my work so they give me the green light to do everything I can to come back faster. There can't be a better situation other than not being in this situation in the first place."
— I've had many people ask me what the ramifications might be for suspended linebacker Daryl Washington if the new drug policy – rumored to be close – is passed. The truth is, I have no idea. Part of the problem is that it hasn't publicly been said why Washington was suspended. He said in his statement it was for marijuana, but you'd need more details than that. Let's put it this way, first this new policy actually has to be put in place – and it hasn't yet. I still wouldn't hold my breath for Washington even if it does.
— It'll be an emotional night Monday. Aside from the game itself and the knowledge it is on national television, Kurt Warner gets inducted into the Ring of Honor at halftime. I'd guess there will be some well-remembered highlights played too. Don't leave your seats.
— Carparks open at 3 p.m. Monday. Don't forget your clear bags.
— With all the Ellington news, the possibility of Tyrann Mathieu playing has seemingly been pushed to the background. I still think the Cardinals are going to err on the side of caution and keep him out for now, but Arians said again it'll be a game-day thing.
— Crazy to think Alameda Ta'amu is fine after tearing his ACL in the 2013 season finale, but the nose tackle should be in the defensive line rotation and his biggest issue is his stamina. "He's full go. He runs on and off the field and gets out of gas. That's a lot of ass to carry back and forth out there."
So, on that note, on to Monday night.

The impact of losing Darnell DockettPosted by on August 18, 2014 – 10:16 pm
Injuries happen every preseason. They are not all created equal.
Even the long-term injuries are not created equal. As much as Jonathan Cooper's injury hurt the Cardinals last year — and at the time, GM Steve Keim felt Cooper was the Cardinals' best offensive lineman — there is an jarring emotional slam with the news Darnell Dockett is done for the season. That comes on many levels. On a defense that already lost Karlos Dansby and Daryl Washington from last year's unit, losing Dockett is a difficult pill to swallow.
After Dockett was carted off and practice resumed with some 7-on-7 work, defensive line coach Brentson Buckner gathered his players on the field and they all took a knee. I don't know exactly what was said, but it certainly looked like Buckner was helping his guys get through what already looked like a rough patch that was later confirmed.
Now though, it's about moving on. It's about the future, which is in the short-term the 2014 season and in the long-term where 2015 might take Dockett and the Cardinals. Veteran Frostee Rucker should move into Dockett's starting role, but again, there was always going to be a rotation on the defensive line. There was a reason the Cardinals drafted Kareem Martin and Ed Stinson. Those rookies are going to have to play a bigger role. They are going to have to grow up very fast because Dockett won't be there to anchor — along with Calais Campbell — the line. One potential free agent to look at is long-time 3-4 defensive end Brett Keisel, Keisel was cut by the Steelers this offseason but he knows Bruce Arians and Buckner from their time in Pittsburgh. I have no idea if it's possible he could come — I have no idea what kind of money he might want — but the Cardinals will need to add someone.
What will happen next year becomes very interesting. Dockett will turn 34 in May. He will be coming off major knee surgery. He will be going into the last year of his contract and will be due $6.5 million in salary and will have a $9.8M cap hit. That's a lot of money for an older lineman. Like Larry Fitzgerald and his $23.6M cap hit in 2015, Dockett's bulky contract was always going to be an issue after this season. That certainly hasn't changed, and perhaps, becomes more of an issue because of the injury.
In the moment, though, there is only the gut-punch to the Cardinals. And the long rehab Dockett faces while the Cards try to prepare for the season to come.
Thank you all for your support & get well wishes. I really do appreciate it. This will be a tough road to recovery but I been through worst.
— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) August 19, 2014
I'll be back better than ever. To the cardinal fans & Dockett fans I love you all. I'll make sure I never forget y'all on this journey! #90

My loyalties have been homeless for some time—last seen ditching my dignity as I jumped off the Knicks' Conestoga. Tonight, though, I begin my season-long allegiance to the Detroit Pistons. With Allen Iverson debuting in Detroit's starting backcourt, power in the NBA may have just shifted to Motown.
A.I. has easily been the league's most inspirational talent since Jordan dipped out of the spotlight in '98. Standing less than 6 feet, the little guy has been battered and bruised over his career. Yet, he has still managed to collect an MVP award, a Finals cameo, and multiple scoring titles despite playing against relative giants. The only obstacle too tall to conquer was Shaq in '01, but Iverson may have another go at a title this year after hooking up with the 2004 champions.
Last year's finals featured the Celtics and Lakers, a matchup that seemingly went down every year of the '80s. The other big rival for the chip during that decade? The Pistons.
This season's three-horse race may have another entry, though. By the end of the '80s, a precocious Jordan had begun threatening the triumvirate. This time, the young gun joining the race could very well be a member of Team Jordan. Don't be surprised if Chris Paul is the one orchestrating a title run if neither A.I., the boys from Beantown, nor Kobe can quite pull the right strings.

Suspension Knuckle
Symptoms of Wear or Failure
- Uneven tire wear
- Brake caliper bracket will not secure properly
Related Repair Advice
- Replacing a suspension knuckle may affect the alignment's settings. We recommend a four-wheel alignment whenever a suspension knuckle is replaced.
- On disc brake systems, the brake caliper bracket bolts to the steering knuckle. If the treads in the knuckle are damaged, repairs should not be attempted. The knuckle should be replaced.

A method which is similar to CPV (Cost-Per-View) way of making money. When a person clicks on your tweet, an advertisement page opens up for a few seconds before it is redirected to the landing page. The payout of this type of advertising is generally in CPM (per thousand impressions). There's a drawback with this strategy, this may not be appreciated by your followers but it's worth a try.
6. Twitter Trends:
This is the daily routine in Twitter and we can use this to earn an online income, just keep up with the trends that are occurring on Twitter to optimize it on your site. These trends are topics that people are looking for most on the internet. You can make use of this trend to post new topics or provide new insight.
7. Tweeting Affiliate Links:
With the use of Twitter you can use it to sell your affiliate products. If you are a reputable Twitter user with many followers then there is a high chance that your followers purchase affiliate links that you recommend. So by tweeting link to the affiliate product page you can get high commission on each sale depending on the product. Tweeting affiliate links will produce greater results only if the products you user were really reliable.
8. Finding Sponsors:
Sponsors were always on the move in finding their perfect partner in the internet and if chosen your Twitter account could be a great place where you can find your future sponsors. Many webmasters have found their sponsors through Twitter just search for them but first of all provide valuable content.
9. Be a Professional Twitterer:
This kind of service is somewhat the same with professional blogging. Professional Twitterers are people who do not tweet for themselves but are hired by corporations and companies to build an online presence through Twitter.
10. Make Invaluable Connections:

Making a priceless contacts with some of the most famous guy in your niche will leads you to greater learning in the long run and you could build a relationship with them that can be used in the near future.

For parishioners at Indiana's Graystone Presybterian Church, Sunday's vote to leave Presbyterian Church (USA) is not the end of a process, but the beginning. The next question is, "Where do we go from here?"
By a 69 percent vote (with 542 members voting), Graystone's congregation voted for separation from the liberal-leaning Presbyterian Church (USA), which has approved in recent years an agenda favoring the ordination of homosexual church leaders and the performance of gay marriages in the church.
The direction in which Graystone will go is still to be determined. According to the procedure under the "Gracious Separation Policy", the church must negotiate a settlement with the Presbytery of Kiskiminetas to "mitigate the loss" to presbytery with a payment to equal "no less than ten percent of the previous three years' contribution." It must also find a new presbytery to join, with most churches leaving Presbyterian Church (USA) opting for either the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) or the newly formed Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians (ECO). That affiliation will be determined by congregational vote.
As for members who voted to remain with Presbyterian Church (USA), they will have to decide whether to continue to worship at Graystone or to go to another church still affiliated with the denomination, such as Calvary Presbyterian Church, next door to Graystone.
In a posting to the church's website, Graystone's leadership emphasizes that the vote on Sunday was not just about sexuality, but that "The primary issues have to do with the Lordship of Christ, salvation in Christ alone, the authority of scripture, the role of our Confessions and a narrow activist agenda at the national level."

Seattle Mariners manager Eric Wedge will not return to the team in 2014, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports:
#Mariners announce that Wedge has informed the club he will not manage in 2014. Will finish season, contract expires after that.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) September 27, 2013
Wedge is in the midst of his third consecutive season finishing in fourth-place in the American League West division as skipper for the Mariners, who will miss out on the MLB playoffs for a 12th consecutive campaign.
MLB.com's Greg Johns provides this quote from Mariners general manager Zach Zduriencik:
Zduriencik said Wedge's "job was not in danger" and he would have been asked to return. "This was his choice."— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) September 28, 2013
The Mariners currently stand at 70-89 on the season entering Friday's home game against the Oakland Athletics.
Should the Mariners have retained Eric Wedge if he hadn't decided to leave on his own?
Entering the final three-game homestand with the A's, Wedge's record with the Mariners is 212-271, per Baseball-Reference.com. Seattle has been double-digit games under .500 in each of his three seasons at the helm.
Back in July, Wedge suffered a stroke and missed 28 games before returning on Aug. 23. Thankfully, Wedge's health appears to be fine, but things haven't turned around for the Mariners on the field, where they have gone 10-22 since Wedge's comeback.
The 45-year-old Wedge recently said he felt like he was "hanging out there" with regard to his status for next season (h/t AP via ESPN).
There was reason to hope the tide could have turned in Seattle upon Wedge's arrival in 2011. However, the 2007 AL Manager of the Year, formerly of the Cleveland Indians, could never gain any traction in what will be a rather short three-year tenure.
For a team that has a lot of question marks heading into the offseason, finding a new manager appears to be priority No. 1 at this point.

One of the most exciting events that a hockey fan can experience, even if there isn't any hockey being played, is a trade. Fans are always anticipating and investigating the next big trade that could help their favourite team reach that next level.
In this slideshow, we will reflect on the best/worst trades made in the NHL by every team.
For the sake of young and old hockey fans alike, let us look at the "modern" NHL by focusing on trades that occurred post-lockout (the first one).
This may be the first of two sets of slideshows examining each team's modern trade history. This is the first half of the "best of," and the second half will be followed by a "worst of." If you like that idea, please let me know and I'll be happy to do it.

Main Forums > Living With HIV
Hep C test - advice from anyone whose had them??
Not sure this is the right forum to post in, or if its even worth me stressing, but I'm prone to expecting the worst and you guys are unbelievably helpful. So, I tested poz in November, not sure of current CD4, viral load is loitering irritatingly around 52. Contracted the virus via sexual transmission from my boyfriend, who shared a needle in October. Recently got another blood test and was told I would need to be tested for Hep C again since the gestation time (or something) had passed, and they now could be sure I was either infected or not. I tested negative for Hep C in November but apparently I could potentially still have it despite that?So my question is, had anyone gone through something similar - in that they at first tested negative then were found to be either positive or negative 3 months later?
HI Better, I am giving you a bump since your posts seems to have sank to the bottom.I do not have Hep-C however I did find this information regarding the appearance of Hep-C antibodies on the University of Washington's site. I hope this informatin helps.http://depts.washington.edu/hepstudy/hepC/clindx/acute/discussion.html--- Quote ---Immune Response to Acute HCV InfectionThe immune response to the acute phase of HCV infection includes both humoral and cellular components. Based on the overall immune response, patients either have persistence of viral infection (Figure 5) or clearance of HCV (Figure 6). In most individuals, anti-HCV antibodies appear 7 to 8 weeks after exposure[8]. Antibodies may appear slightly later after transfusion-related infection than after other modes of HCV transmission[5]. Greater than 80%, 90%, and 97% of patients demonstrate anti-HCV by 15 weeks, 5 months, and 6 months, respectively[1]. --- End quote ---Looks like 6 months is the outer threshold for antibodies. Additionally your doctor should be using ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels to help determine your diagnosis along with any other symptoms like jaundice. Next time you visit your doctor ask them about your ALT levels.
It was my understanding that Hep C can only be transmitted by sharing needle and a blood exchange between people Someone correct me if I am wrong..."Hepatitis C is passed through contact with contaminated blood most commonly through needles shared during illegal drug use"Retrieved from: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hepatitis-c/DS00097 I know I tested negative in Jan at same time I tested HIV+. My doctor has not mentioned any follow up test. Will have to bring this up with him this week at my appointment.
--- Quote from: aaware72 on April 22, 2013, 10:56:35 AM ---It was my understanding that Hep C can only be transmitted by sharing needle and a blood exchange between people Someone correct me if I am wrong...--- End quote ---If you are wondering if it can be sexually transmitted.... The current thinking is yes, indeed. MY HIV specialist says it can be sexually transmitted and he has seen some waves of Hep C in gay men in my region.... Also I know from personal experience the "sexual route" as transmission route does NOT have to include obvious blood exchange, such as fisting, etc... I know little about the details of heterosexual sex transmission routes, however.

Peanut Butter Cup Fudge
Prep time
5 mins
Cook time
5 mins
Total time
10 mins
Just like one big peanut butter cup, in the form of fudge. Amazing.
Karlynn Johnston
Recipe type:
one can of sweetened condensed milk 300ml
1½ tsp pure vanilla
9½ squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate
one 230 gram bag of mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
In a large microwave safe bowl, and a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup works perfectly, combine the chocolate and condensed milk.
Microwave for one minute, then stir, then again for 45 seconds. Keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.
Let it sit and cool a wee while and move on to the next step.
Line an 8×8 baking pan with tinfoil, leaving little handles on two sides so you can pull it out completely when the fudge is set.
Chop up 15 or so of the cups, into quarters. Quarters made a perfect size for the fudge. I ended up with one cup of chopped pieces, perfect.
Make sure you let the chocolate mixture cool for a while, so that these don't melt right away.
Mix it into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture.
Spread it into the tinfoil lined pan then chop up the rest of the peanut butter cups, smaller this time, and press into the top of the fudge.
Refrigerate a few hours then slice. It makes a nice 36 pieces of fudge.
If you like peanut butter, this is the fudge for you. It's like one amazing, maxed out peanut butter cup.

ALISSA SCOTT / Recorder staff -- Jayveon Hilts and Kaidyn, Rhy and Keaton Tran dressed up for this year's Halloween Parade sponsored by the Amsterdam Elks Lodge No. 101.
ALISSA SCOTT / Recorder staff -- The Amsterdam Marching Rams performed during the Halloween Parade on Saturday, each dressed in costume.
By ALISSA SCOTT
Three generations of parade-goers watched from the sidelines as children ran into the street to pick up tossed candy during the 9th annual Halloween Parade Saturday.
Jane Papura, 70, watched as the Amsterdam High School majorettes marched by.
"I used to be a Majorette, you know," Papura said. "Oh yeah. I've been coming to these parades ever since then."
Papura's grandchildren scurried into the street as another float drove by, its occupants throwing handfuls of Twizzlers and Tootsie Rolls to onlookers. Chants from the Amsterdam Marching Rams could be heard from any point along the parade's route.
"It's just amazing," Papura said, reaching for her granddaughter Natalie Papura, 4, who dressed up as Minnie Mouse for the parade. "It's just beautiful. The community spirit is just great."
An estimated 7,000 people either lined Guy Park Avenue or marched in the parade that afternoon -- the highest number of participants the Elks Lodge has seen since it took over the event nine years ago.
Both community members and out-of-towners gathered from Evelyn Avenue to Wall Street, scores donning costumes along with their dogs.
The crowds dressed up as cartoon characters, animals, ghouls and princesses, each waiting eagerly with arms stretched and candy bags wide open.
Lodge No. 101 Chairman Brian Gustas said the parade brings people together each year.
"Everybody's down there having a great time," Gustas said.
Gustas said though the event is "all about the kids," the organizers, who have been working since June, enjoy themselves, too.
"We have just as much, or more fun than the participants," Gustas said. "We really do."
This year, the Elks dressed up as nuns with Robert Reidy, an elder elk, dressed as the Pope.
Float participants included: The Amsterdam police and fire departments, PAV Color Guard,
WCSS radio, the Elks Lodge, the Knights of Columbus, Miss Fonda Fair and her court, GAVAC, several politicians, each of the Greater Amsterdam School District schools, local girl and boy scouts, the Renegade Riders, the Amsterdam Free Library, The Recorder, St. Mary's Hospital, Liberty ARC, Montgomery County SPCA, the Amsterdam Little Giants and its cheerleaders, Amsterdam High School cheerleaders, Capone's Vault, AHS Marching Rams, Kristy Pollak Christmas Event and Make-a-Wish.
The public was invited to the Elk's lodge on Fourth Avenue for hot dogs, coffee, refreshments and more candy.
Awards for most original, scariest and funniest costume, and a newly added category largest group, were distributed.
State vice president of the Elks Lodge Bill Hayes said there's one phrase to sum up why the they hold the parade: "Elks share, elks care."

An afternoon of screen printing fabric cats!
Have spent most of this week with an ink pen sketching new fabric design ideas, so it was lovely returning to some screen printing this afternoon as a nice contrast. I'm at my happiest when I'm printing, and it's particularly satisfying printing onto fabric. These cats are now ready to sew into toys and will soon be on my site.

Toyota NZ's FJ Cruiser 'Top to Bottom' off-road adventure reached the Bluff on Monday, concluding the adventure for Marc Ellis and his support crew. The special journey was part of 60th Anniversary celebrations for Toyota's iconic Land Rover and included two weeks trawling over 4,980 kilometres of rugged off road country.
In typical Land Cruiser fashion the new, retro-inspired vehicle survived in good nick, except for a healthy caking of mud, a cracked windscreen, one blown tyre, and a some dog wee where the farm dogs from Molesworth Station got a bit over excited as they checked out the inside of the FJ Cruiser.
The off-road challenge, with Marc Ellis at the helm of a specially fitted-out new FJ Cruiser, restarted on 15 May at Puhoi, north of Auckland, and journeyed through Waikato, King Country, Taranaki, Wairarapa, Wellington, Marlborough, Canterbury, and Otago.

In vitro effect of fusidic acid on staphylococcus strains with macrolide-lincosamid-streptogramin B resistance
Abstract number: P591
Sesli Cetin E., Gunes H., Aynali A., Kaya S., Cicioglu Aridogan B., Demirci M.
Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance of staphylococcal isolates continues to be a problem for clinicians worldwide. A major problem in the treatment of S. aureus infections is the ability of this pathogen to be resistant to a number of antibiotics. Relationship between meticillin resistance and resistance to other antibiotics has been reported in previous investigations. Fusidic acid displays its antibacterial activity via inhibiting protein synthesis without binding to bacterial ribosomes. This unique mechanism of action prevents cross-resistance between fusidic acid and other antibiotics. This study was carried out in order to determine the in-vitro effect of fusidic acid on stapyhlococcal isolates with macrolid-lincosamide-streptogramine B resistance.
Methods: The study included 532 staphylococcus isolates consisting of 59 MRSA, 101 MSSA, 200 MRCNS and 172 MSCNS. Testing for MLSB and was accomplished by the 'D-zone' test in accordance with the recommendations of the CLSI. Fusidic acid resistance was investigated by agar disk diffusion method according to the criteria of 'Comité de L'antibiogramme de la Société Française de Microbiologie'.
Results: Of 532 staphylococcal isolates, 62.4% were susceptible and 37.6% were resistant to MLSB antibiotics. 62.5% of the resistant isolates exhibited a constitutive resistance phenotype, whereas 37.5% were inducibly resistant. All of 101 MSSA isolates were susceptible to fusidic acid. Susceptibility rate to fusidic acid was higher among strains without MLSB resistance (82.8%) and strains with iMLSB (82.7%) resistance than that observed among isolates with cMLSB (58.4%) resistance. We have also determined that susceptibility to fusidic acid was significantly lower among MRCNS isolates with cMLSB resistance phenotype.
Conclusion: The relatively low susceptibility to fusidic acid detected in our study among strains with MLSB resistance accompanying to meticillin resistance, may be explained with the reports suggesting that multidrug-resistant phenotype can develop as a consequence of continuous exposure of an organism to an antibiotic to which the organism is chromosomally highly resistant. These results indicated that, although fusidic acid can stil be considered as an alternative agent for the treatment of infections caused by meticillin resistant staphylococcal strains, it should be kept in mind that susceptibility rates may be lower than expected if the isolate is also resistant to MLSB antibiotics.

You may recall the playing cards used by the military to identify Iraqi and other leaders during the conflict overseas. TVNewsLies quickly responded with their loaded deck of "America's least wanted."
In the world of business, the Stacked Deck offers sets of "corporate America's least wanted." Featuring questionable leaders and executives from companies such as Adelphia, Enron, HealthSouth, and Merrill Lynch, the deck is a cartoony, trivia-ridden wakeup call.
But I'm more jazzed by Cubicle Cards, a company that helps business leaders spice up their workaday business cards. You can design and create your own professional trading card, complete with information about your experience and skills, performance stats, and so on. They seem oriented more toward job seekers than people in established positions and organizations, but I like the idea of a trading card instead of the average business card.

Hey guys! Happy Friday! What do you have planned this weekend??
I've got a couple of parties, Dance Trance and yoga in store- it should be glorious
For work today, I packed up a breakfast cookie dough cereal with almond milk on the side:
and lunch, courtesy of Infusion Tea. I had to have it again before I leave! (Plus I have no groceries, haha)
My fave Concorde Wrap on gluten-free brown bread: tabbouli, greens, hummus and balsamic with a bean salad on the side. I might have to re-create this one in the near future- the combo is amazing <—- of course I say this every time, but end up just going back to purchase one anyway.
They packed it the sandwich parts separately for me so it won't get soggy today
Work eats:
In order to start the Friday party off right, how about some burpees?
Burpees are one of my favorite workout moves. Not only is the name goofy to say, they get your heart rate up quickly and are great to incorporate into track cardio workouts, weight routines or boot camp classes.
Some tips:
-As always, honor your body and your injuries. If it hurts, don't do it!
-Check with a doc before making any nutrition or fitness changes
Per the usual WMOW style, I included 3 variations of burpees for different fitness levels.
(Thank you YouTube for the awesome screen shot haha)
Have you done burpees before?? Any fun variations I should know about?
Have a happy Friday and I'll see ya later today!

Food Policy
Winter 2015 quarter
Taught by
The policies that govern our food systems -- influenced by a wide range of actors representing a breadth of interests -- bring serious effects to bear on other related systems, not least health care, education, taxes and the environment. Furthermore, our relationship to food is a constant topic in the media, to the extent that many of us spend more time ingesting media about food than we do preparing -- or even eating -- food in real life. As the media landscape continues to evolve, so does the conversation between industry spin doctors, nonprofit activists, citizens and government officials, as do so many other key public policies (energy, transport, etc). This class will explore best practices in "good food" advocacy and will look at the ways federal and state agencies engage – digitally and otherwise – with activists, producers and consumers. We will explore at least one each regional and national case study. Students will work individually or in small groups to create a digital campaign around a specific piece of food policy.

Project ID:2006UT69B
Title: Irrigation Demand Forecasting for Management of Large Water Systems
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 03/01/2006
End Date: 02/28/2007
Congressional District: UT1
Focus Categories: Models, Irrigation, Management and Planning
Keywords: Water Systems Operation, Short-Term Management, Uncertainty
Principal Investigator: McKee, Mac (Utah State University)
Federal Funds: $31,478
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $57,289
Abstract: The relative scarcity of water in the western United States is increasing due to population and economic growth, pollution, and diversification of the types of demands that are being placed on water use (e.g., traditional consumptive uses such as irrigation and municipal supply, as well as emerging uses for such concerns as water quality maintenance and endangered species protection). This increasing relative scarcity brings: (1) a greater need to more intensively manage the resource, and (2) a requirement for better characterizations of the current and potential future states of our water resources systems--including estimates of the uncertainty contained in these characterizations--so that management decisions can be better informed. However, in spite of these increasing needs for better water resources management information, investments in traditional water resources data collection programs (e.g., point stream flows, snow pack, soil moisture, etc.) are declining at the federal and state levels. In contrast, investments in new data collection methods are increasing (e.g., satellite imagery of land cover, snow cover, ocean surface temperatures, etc.; radar estimation of precipitation; aircraft and satellite imagery for estimation of evapotranspiration) and will have to be used to back-fill the decline in availability of traditional data and to improve the quality of the information base available to managers of large water systems.
Research is needed to develop the data now becoming available from emerging remote sensing sources into useful information for all temporal and geographical scales of water resources management. This must be done in such a way as to maximize the total value of the information coming from both these new, emerging data sources and from the traditional water resources monitoring approaches. Further, the products of such research must be of practical use to the water resources managers who (1) are now losing access to traditional data sources and (2) have not been trained in how to access and use the information flowing from new remote sensing capabilities. In addition, the research products must also be of use to a growing range of stakeholders who have heterogeneous technical backgrounds and skill levels. The purpose of this project is to develop and help implement a significantly enhanced capability within the state of Utah--that will also be appropriate for application in the arid West--to more efficiently manage the states scarce water resources by exploiting emerging technologies in data collection and analysis.
Specific research tasks are to:

God desires us all to be ONE! (John 17).
However, religion, tradition, denomination, and theological notions keep us divided! We need a shaking - something to shake the foundations so that all that remains is nothing more than FAITH!
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN." This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project ID: 2011WA326B
Title: Understanding Toxin Production by Harmful Algae: Vancouver Lake as a Model System
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2011
End Date: 2/28/2012
Congressional District: Washington, 3
Focus Categories: Toxic Substances, Ecology, Water Quality
Keywords: cyanobacteria, toxin production, zooplankton grazing
Principal Investigators: Rollwagen-Bollens, Gretchen (Washington State University Vancouver); Bollens, Stephen M. (Washington State Univesity)
Federal Funds: $ 30,000
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 62,297
Abstract: Seasonal blooms of cyanobacteria and other algae are natural occurrences in lakes, and may naturally increase in frequency as lakes evolve from oligotrophic states (deep, clean and unproductive) to eutrophic states (shallow and infested with aquatic plants and phytoplankton). However, increasing evidence demonstrates that the eutrophication process in lakes is being accelerated by human activity, and is contributing to an increase in frequency and intensity of cyanobacteria blooms.
Excessive abundance of cyanobacteria may have detrimental effects on lake ecosystems and water quality, including development of surface scums, depleted oxygen levels, and (in some cases) production of toxins that can negatively affect aquatic life and humans. This phenomenon is of great concern to water resource managers, particularly with respect to human health, as well as to the public whose use and enjoyment of these environments may be prohibited as a result.
Vancouver Lake, in Clark County, WA, is a large, shallow lake in the lower Columbia River floodplain that is popular with the local community for swimming, boating, fishing and other recreational activities. Vancouver Lake has experienced numerous summertime blooms of Anabaena and Aphanizomenon cyanobacteria over the past 20 years, often necessitating closure of the Lake to swimming and other recreational use.
In this proposal our goal is to better understand the dynamics of toxin production by cyanobacteria in Vancouver Lake, in particular the influence of biological (e.g. grazing pressure by planktonic consumers) and environmental (e.g. temperature, nutrient levels, and turbidity) factors on both the diversity of cyanobacteria and the stimulation of toxin production by particular cyanobacteria taxa.
We have three specific objectives designed to meet our goal for this project:
The results of these analyses will allow us to more accurately define cyanobacteria diversity in Vancouver Lake and to better predict the conditions that may lead to toxic cyanobacteria blooms. This information will be critical for assisting Clark County Public Health in determining whether restrictions must be imposed on Lake usage during bloom periods. In addition, these results will complement the suite of biological and chemical data currently available to Clark County Public Works and Environmental Services to inform management decisions that may mitigate or prevent cyanobacteria blooms in the future. Finally, what we learn about Vancouver Lake will have broad implications for other lakes in Washington as well as shallow, temperate lakes around the globe.

Mass Effect 3: Leviathan DLC [REVIEW]: A Deleted-Scene Like Adventure That Answers a Pivotal Origin Question
Mass Effect 2, which still ranks for me as one of the greatest games of all time, had a phenomenal conclusion, but one in which things were left open-ended enough, that you could play the single player DLC add-ons either after you finished the game, or at some point during a play-through. I happened to play them all at the end, and one of them actually leads perfectly into the start of Mass Effect 3.
Mass Effect 3, for all the strife it has caused amongst the developers, fans and critics who love or hate the ending, still had an ending. A definitive one. At least for your Commander Shepard. Sure, the universe could go on, but your Commander Shepard's story was complete, one way or the other.
So for any single player DLC for Mass Effect 3 that comes out now – the first piece of single player DLC, From Ashes, came out the day of the game's release – starring Shepard would have to take place earlier in the game. And in the recently released Leviathan DLC, you're hunting for what you believe to be a Reaper that has turned against its own kind. What an amazing war asset!
But wait… um… isn't the war over? I mean. I beat the game.
Instead… it's best to look at Leviathan as a deleted-scene. Something cut from the main epic for time, but still worth you giving it a look because it answers an important piece of the Mass Effect mythology—namely, where did the Reapers originate from? And who created them?
If that answer is that important to you – and I didn't realize it was for me until I got to the end – then you should play this DLC. Otherwise, you might want to spend your time and money elsewhere.
There are bits and pieces of Leviathan that are fun and exciting in concept, but aren't necessarily carried out successfully in the adventure itself.
For instance, you play as a "detective" in the early parts of the DLC, trying to figure out where somebody is. But don't think you're playing LA Noire or something similar. You're pretty much just touching A when prompted.
There are also very few moral decisions you'll need to make—though you can still earn Renegade and Paragon points a few times. The decisions you make, while they'll contribute to the war effort, won't affect the story the way Lair of the Shadow Broker did.
And you'll even get to explore underwater – DEEP underwater – for an all-too brief segment of the game. It's visually stunning and has a great pay-off, but I certainly wished it lasted a bit longer. (And I can't be the only one who wishes he got a chance to see if his guns worked underwater.)
Overall, I found From Ashes more moving and more stronger narratively than Leviathan, but any true Mass Effect fan certainly won't be disappointed by Leviathan.
Which, according to some reports, does yet again change your Mass Effect 3 ending in a small way. But don't go into it for that. Go in like you're experiencing a deleted scene from one of your favorite epics of all time. But you know… one of the good deleted scenes.
The Mass Effect 3 Leviathan DLC is rated "M for Mature" by the ESRB and is available now for download on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for $9.99 USD or 800 Microsoft points.
* Note: A copy of Leviathan for Xbox 360 was provided to this reviewer by the developer. *

Willard students semi-finalists in national art contest
By Catherine Ference
Three of Willard Middle School's 8th grade students — Karah Giesecke, Desiree Minkler and Sydney Tong — along with their families and Willard's art teacher, Nancy Funk, celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday this week by attending a very special ceremony at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
Karah, Desiree and Sydney were all semi-finalists in The Dream@50 Art Contest, an award program that covers 10 cities and three school levels: elementary, middle and high. For the contest, students were invited to create artwork inspired by a word or phrase from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Their artwork was judged on originality in form and content as well as the artistic merit, including use of color and visual impact. … Continue reading »

Jim Tressel's tenure at Ohio State brought a boatload of talent to Columbus. Because of that talent and Tressel's coaching ability, the Buckeyes won 106 of the 128 games during that 10-year span.
Although 12 of those wins were later taken away by the NCAA because of the scandal that cost Tressel his job, his tenure was a successful one.
The Buckeyes won a national championship and seven Big Ten Titles (one was stripped). His teams played in eight BCS bowl games, including three BCS National Championships, going 5-3 in those games.
All in all, Tressel is arguably Ohio State's second-best coach.
But if you compiled a team of Tressel's best players, what would it look like?
Here is mine.

Norfolk Admirals
The Norfolk Admirals are in the East Division of the Eastern Conference of the American Hockey League. On June 9, 2012, the Admirals captured their first ever Calder Cup with a 6-1 win over the Toronto Marlies. After their victory their 5 year agreement to be the AHL affiliate of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning and the ECHL's Florida Everblades expired.
The team has played at the at the Norfolk Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia since 1989. The Arena was opened in 1971 and has a capacity of 8,725 for hockey.
The Norfolk Admirals began in the East Coast Hockey League in 1989. The team transfered to the American Hockey League as an expansion franchise for the 2000-01 season. Norfolk is one of two franchises in the AHL named the Admirals, sharing the nickname with the Milwaukee Admirals. The Milwaukee franchise transferred from the defunct International Hockey League, and were allowed to keep their previous moniker.
Norfolk's geographically closest rivals are the Charlotte Checkers, Hershey Bears and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The Admirals have two mascots, a dog named Salty and dog/rabbit hybrid named Hat Trick.
On March 19, 2007, the Chicago Blackhawks announced that their affiliation with the Admirals would end after the 2006-2007 season. On March 29, 2007, the Tampa Bay Lightning officially announced the Admirals as their new affiliate. In June 2012, the Admirals became the affiliate of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks.
