I would give Mr Dorsey 6 stars if I could. First he is a patient man, so I want to thank him for that. He came to help me at the last minute in the evening so I could show my house. Now my carpets were terrible, they are older and have been torn up by tenants. I used to clean carpets and I couldn't clean them. He felt he could do the job and get them clean, he guaranteed his work. Clean those carpets he did. My beige carpet (which was grey with sticky spots all over) is now just beige. He cleaned it all. He did an outstanding job. He worked from 6:30 pm to almost 10pm on these carpets and made them look good. I was impressed with the various methods he used in cleaning the carpets and different things he used to clean things out of the carpet that average person will never get out. Thank you Mr Dorsey and Come Clean Carpet Care!(show more)
Ken was thorough and efficient. He was flexible with us, as we had originally booked 5 rooms to clean, but added a 6th room at last minute. The deep clean was definitely a deep clean, as we had various pet stains he removed and gave us some good pointers moving forward. He was clean and orderly in his service and a pleasure to deal with. Shannon D., Finksburg, MD(show more)
On time, knew what he was doing, and professional. My carpets look great and will hire him again for my professional carpet cleaning.(show more)
Bruce Swartz did an excellent job of removing the stains and sanitizing our queen sized mattress with the plushtop. I was somewhat doubtful about the stains coming out, but it looks as good as new. I am very happy with the results, would call him again, and would most definitely recommend his services. He came when he said he would. I like service providers who respect my time and schedule.(show more)
Carpets look great. Tech was professional and on time.(show more)

ONLINE ART GALLERY - Top Selection and Low Prices
When Dutch painter/etcher Rembrandt died in 1669, etching and drypoint
techniques gradually diminished and, with few exceptions, etchings were
strictly reproductive or illustrative works, not original pieces. In the
middle 1800s, however, an etching revival began in France. Maxime Lalanne
wrote a popular etching textbook in 1866. This book, "A Treatise on Etching,"
was later translated into English and published in the U.S. in 1880. This book
was greatly responsible for the American Etching Revival and for the
proliferation of 19th century American etchings. This corresponded to the
British Etching Revival, and many American artists studied and worked in Great
Britian and on the Continent, with London, Paris and Venice providing rich
subject matter for many American etchings.
Another important factor which led to the American etching movement was the
founding of the New York Etching Club in 1877. In the centuries before,
etchings were primarily used for producing reproductions of paintings, but now
19th century American etching artists were using this medium to produce
beautiful, original artworks. Antique art prints from 19th Century American
artists featured here include lithographs and etchings executed by Whistler,
Hassam, Cassatt, Weir, Moran, and Homer.

To make the world an interesting place, God made human attraction inexplicable. So what if Woody Allen is "old and ugly" ("Too much, too young, darling", 24 May)? To Soon-Yi he is preferable to a youthful Adonis who fails to make her laugh. As they age, people become more comfortable in their skin, shedding the identity crisis of youth. Me?

The Wales striker scored his first goal in a Celtic shirt in the 5-0 Tennent's Scottish Cup tie on Sunday after joining the club on loan following his fall-out with Newcastle boss Graeme Souness.
Sheridan told the Scottish Sun: "He was on the pitch going on about how much money he was on.
"He is a top player but he just never shuts up.
"He was going on at everyone in our team. I think that's why he is not liked.
"Let the football do the talking with his ability and he could shut anyone up. But Bellamy? Dearie me, he was worse than my kids."

The three elements of the war that are covered are (1) the destruction
of the Nazi's heavy water in Norway; (2) the Japanese midget submarines
and their fate at Pearl Harbor; and (3) the Kamikaze attacks late in
the Pacific War.
There were three attacks on the heavy water plant hidden away on a mountainside in Norway. It was difficult to damage it because of its location but it was extremely important because German scientists intended to use heavy water (D2O) as insulation in processing radioactive materials to be used in a nuclear bomb.
The first attempt was a disaster. A handful of Norwegian commandos from England parachuted onto the isolated snowy mountain field and lighted fires to guide gliders. The gliders, and the bombers towing them, missed the landing site, crashed, and all aboard were killed -- outright or by execution. The Norwegian commandos were stranded and survived only by shooting one reindeer and eating a porridge made of reindeer blood, brains, and stomach contents. Served at room temperature with a robust red wine, not really.
A second, successful attempt was made to sneak into the plant by the commandos, reenforced by additional paratroopers. They held a Norwegian clerk at gunpoint while setting the demolition charges. The clerk pleaded with them. They could blow up the plant but could they help him find his eyeglasses? Glasses were very hard to come by in wartime Norway. So while the charges were being set, the clerk and his captors searched the office until the missing eyeglasses were located. The damage was only temporary.
A third attempt was made by 176 B-17s who tried to bomb the plant. Most of the damage was to nearby civilians and the heavy water went untouched. By this time, the Germans decided to move the heavy water to Germany itself, but the store was destroyed when the commandos blew up the public ferry carrying it -- and many innocent Norwegian civilians -- across an icy lake. The ferry, its cargo, and its passengers sank within minutes.
The attempts to destroy heavy water are shown in what appears to be a post-war Norwegian movie about the event. Surviving commandos describe their experiences.
There are no survivors of the five Japanese midget submarines deployed at Pearl Harbor. None did any damage. All but one were sunk. The last drifted until it washed ashore and its captain became Prisoner of War Number One.
The tone of the narrative describing the Kamikaze attacks in the final months of the war is somewhat retrogressive. The attacks are described as "incomprehensible," the pilots as "fanatics" who are "eager to die." That doesn't promote our understanding of their motives much. One of the Japanese talking heads also described the situation as "incomprehensible" -- now that the war is over -- but it's probably easier for a person to entertain contradictory attitudes if he has been influenced by Zen Buddhism. This is the longest segment of the program, probably because so many people on both sides were involved that there are many surviving participants to comment, and because there is an abundance of combat footage of the kamikaze attacks.

S YMPOSIUM ON E CONOMICS LEARNING S TANDARDS A USTRALIAN CONFERENCE OF ECONOMISTS PERTH, 8 JULY 2013 Support for this fellowship activity has been provided by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.

1.Background and overview
What are learning standards? Learning standards are minimum learning outcomes "Standards" do not imply "standardisation". Government has said: "Diversity in Australia's higher education system, both within and between higher education providers, is important to meet diverse and changing student, employer and community expectations" (Australian Government, 2011, p. 8). Learning standards are not "binding". Academics or departments do not "sign up"
Why are we doing this? The standards agenda in Australia. TEQSA (2011) Provider Standards require that: (my emphasis added) "There are robust internal processes for design and approval of the course of study which take account of external standards and requirements, e.g. published discipline standards, professional accreditation, input from relevant external stakeholders, and comparable standards at other higher education providers."..and.. "The academic standards intended to be achieved by students and the standards actually achieved by students in the course of study are benchmarked against similar accredited courses of study offered by other higher education providers."
…but while TEQSA compliance is the catalyst, this exercise is not just about compliance. An opportunity for the economics discipline community to reflect, in a collaborative way: What do we want our graduates to know and be able to do?

5.The draft learning standards A guiding principle: Under the TEQSA legislation, discipline-specific learning standards need to be consistent with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) generic descriptors of learning outcomes in terms of knowledge, skills and application abilities apply to various qualification levels e.g. Bachelor, Masters Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 1.1The higher education provider ensures that awards which may lead to a qualification located at levels 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 of the AQF meet the corresponding specifications (including the levels criteria and qualification type descriptors) described in the AQF (http://www.aqf.edu.au).
AQF learning outcomes descriptors Summary of differences BachelorMasters (coursework) PurposeApply a body of knowledge in a specific context to undertake professional work Apply an advanced body of knowledge…for professional practice or scholarship KnowledgeBroad…depth in underlying principles in one discipline …understanding of recent developments in a discipline …knowledge of research methods SkillsReview critically, analyse, synthesise… Critical thinking and judgement in solving problems… Communication skills…clear and coherent… …mastery of theoretical knowledge …to reflect critically …synthesis complex information …evaluate complex ideas …communicate to specialist and non-specialist audiences Application…Initiative and judgement..adapt knowledge andskills in diverse contexts..creativity and initiative to new situations in professional practice …high level personal autonomy …plan and execute a substantial research-based project or piece of scholarship
5.The draft learning standards (i)Knowledge (ii)Skills (iii)Data analysis (iv)Communication (v)Nature of the discipline
(i)Knowledge (my emphasis added in italics) Bachelor graduates will be able to identify, coherently explain and integrate core economic concepts. Masters graduates will be able coherently explain the theoretical basis of core economic concepts, and synthesise advanced concepts with reference to recent developments in economics.
Generic economic concepts opportunity cost incentives market forces, equilibrium and disequilibrium strategic thinking expectations and shocks marginal analysis the potential gains from voluntary exchange systems and dynamics quantitative concepts framing, abstraction and model building the evolutionary nature of Economics Microeconomic concepts decision-making and choice production and exchange of goods comparative advantage and gains from trade the interdependency of markets prices and market structure types of market failures economic welfare Macroeconomic concepts employment and unemployment national accounting aggregates exchange rate determination international trade, capital flows and the current account balance interest rate determination distribution of income inflation, economic growth and business cycles
(i)Knowledge (my emphasis added in italics) Example (microeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates will be able to explain how the incidence of an increase in the rate of a tax depends on the elasticity of demand and supply. At Masters level graduates will be able to synthesise an understanding of the incidence of an increase in a tax with concepts of economic welfare and economic efficiency, and be able to illustrate with reference to recent changes in the tax system. Example (macroeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates will be able to explain the theoretical impact of active fiscal policy in an open and closed economy. At Masters level, graduates will be able to investigate and reflect on the debate about active fiscal policy in an open and closed economy.
(ii) Application Bachelor graduates will be able to frame problems that are typically encountered in the private and public sectors in terms of core economic concepts and principles. They will be able to apply analytical reasoning in order to make informed judgments and decisions. Masters graduates will be able to critically analyse and compare alternative models in order to make informed judgments and decisions given complex problems. They will also be able to plan and execute a substantial research- based project.
(ii) Application Example (microeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates should be able to identify and evaluate the effects of a merger between two firms on the extent of competition in the market(s) in which they operate. Masters degree graduates should be able to evaluate these effects by demonstrating deeper understanding of economic theory and practice in relation to market competition, and an ability to synthesise complex information about existing and potential market dynamics. Example (macroeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates should be able to identify and evaluate possible causes of a change in the rate of unemployment, including proximate causes such as changes to labour force participation, and broader economic influences such as government policy and macroeconomic aggregates. Masters degree graduates should be able to evaluate possible causes of a change in the rate of unemployment by applying and integrating a deeper understanding of economic models, with reference to a wider knowledge of related existing literature.
(iii) Data analysis Bachelor graduates will be able to identify and collect appropriate economic data to address typical problems faced by professional economists. They should be able to demonstrate awareness of appropriate analytical techniques, apply standard computer software to implement those techniques, and be able to interpret empirical results. Masters graduates will be able to independently design a data analysis methodology to address a given question. They should have advanced data analytical skills and be capable of critical evaluation of the results of their analysis.
(iii) Data analysis Example (microeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates will be able to collect appropriate data in order to analyse the demand for housing; then enter the data into an appropriate software package, conduct appropriate procedures and interpret the results. Masters level graduates will be able to independently design a methodology to analyse data on the demand for housing. They should be able to justify the choice of a particular analytical technique and critically evaluate the results.
(iii) Data analysis Example (macroeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates will be able to analyse trends in inflation in Australia and internationally over the past 30 years. To do this they will be able to collect appropriate time series data from relevant statistical agencies, enter the data into an appropriate software package, run appropriate procedures and interpret the results. At Masters level graduates will be able to independently choose a methodology for analysing international inflation trends. They should be able to apply and critically evaluate the results of more advanced analytical techniques in analysing these trends.
(iv) Communication Bachelor graduates will be able to present a coherent exposition of economic knowledge and ideas, both orally and in writing, to a professional audience. They will also be able to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, as a member of a team. Masters graduates will be able to communicate interactively in multiple formats with a wide range of audiences including non-specialist economists, such as government decision makers, a board of directors, and the general public through the mainstream media. They will also be able to communicate complex ideas and concepts at an abstract level, both orally and in writing, as a member of a team.
(iv) Communication Example (microeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates will to be able to contribute, as part of a team, to a written economic evaluation for a government department of a proposal to deregulate the taxi industry in a capital city. They will be able to clearly and coherently present this assessment orally to a team of public sector managers in a transport agency. Masters degree graduates will be able to provide such an assessment for multiple audiences ranging from professional economists to government ministers to the general public. They will also be able to provide a persuasive oral exposition to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
(iv) Communication Example (macroeconomics): Bachelor degree graduates will be able to contribute, as part of a team, to a professional written assessment of the likelihood of interest rate increases in the next six months and the effects that these would have on various industries and types of households. They will be able to present this assessment orally to professional audiences such as managers from the real estate, manufacturing and retail industries, as well as relevant government ministers. Masters degree graduates will be able to provide such a written assessment for multiple audiences ranging from professional economists to the general public. They will also be able to provide a persuasive oral exposition to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
(v) Nature of the discipline Bachelor degree graduates will be able to: identify the role and limitations of alternative assumptions in economic modeling, including implicit value judgments; explain the role of both evidence and theory in the evolution of economic thought; and demonstrate an understanding of the ethical dimensions of an economist's role in society. Masters graduates will be able to: critically reflect on the role and limitations of alternative assumptions in economic modeling, including implicit value judgments; demonstrate awareness that economic problems may be amenable to more than one analytical approach and may have their roots in different schools of economic thought; appreciate that the economics discipline evolves with developments in theory, empirical evidence and the lessons learned from economic history; and demonstrate an understanding of the ethical dimensions of an economist's role in society.

I first saw "Boeing Boeing" almost exactly a year ago when it came on TV,
and I must say that I was delightfully surprised. While it was no comedy
masterpiece, it still offered many genuinely amusing moments. The pairing
Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis worked perfectly and it was interesting to see
Thelma Ritter (who appeared in Hitchcock's "Rear Window") as the
over-employed housekeeper.
Good entertainment, if you can ignore its staginess (the film takes place almost entirely in one apartment).

Microbial utilization of mineral-associated nitrogen in soils2017 - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 104: 185-196
In soils, a large portion of organic nitrogen (ON) is associated with minerals and thus, possibly stabilized against biological decay. We therefore tested if mineral-associated N is an important N source for soil microorganisms, and which soil parameters control its bioavailability. Microcosm experiments with mineral-associated organic matter, obtained as heavy fraction (HF) via density fractionation, and bulk soil from mineral topsoil of the Franz Josef chronosequence were conducted for 125 days. We examined the effects of O2 status, soil age (differences in mineralogical properties), as well as cellulose and phosphate additions on the turnover of mineral-associated N. Using a combination of activity measurements and quantitative PCR, microbial N transformation rates and abundances of N-related functional genes (amoA, narG, chiA) were determined. Similar or higher values for microbial N cycling rates and N-related functional abundances in the HF compared to bulk soil indicated that mineral-associated N provides an important bioavailable N source for soil microorganism. The turnover of mineral-associated N was mainly controlled by the O2 status. Besides, soil mineralogical properties significantly affected microbial N cycling and related gene abundances with the effect depending on the N substrate type (ON, NH4+ or NO3−). In contrast, cellulose or phosphate addition hardly enhanced microbial utilization of mineral-associated N. The results of our microcosm study indicate that mineral-associated N is highly bioavailable in mineral topsoils, but effects of the mineral phase differ between N cycling processes.
Phytosiderophore-induced mobilization and uptake of Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn by wheat plants grown on metal-enriched soils2017 - Environmental and Experimental Botany, 138: 67-76
We investigated to which extent phytosiderophores (PS), released by grasses for the acquisition of iron, solubilize other metals in contaminated soils, and how this affects metal mobilization and uptake in wheat plants. A plant-based bioassay ('RHIZOtest') and batch extraction scheme were carried out for assessing metal mobilisation in soil, PS exudation and metal accumulation in wheat. Increased PS exudation was observed in Fe-deficient wheat, leading to enhanced Zn, Cu, Mn and Ni concentrations in wheat shoots on some soils. In contrast, plant Cd and Pb concentrations were not affected. Likewise, in the batch experiment, strongly increased extractable Cu, Ni and Zn concentrations were observed, in particular when 100 or 1000 μM PS were added. Our results suggest that Fe deficiency can enhance the accumulation of some metals in shoots of grass species. Although our results indicate that the risk of enhanced accumulation of Cd and Pb in Fe deficient wheat shoots is rather small, further experiments conducted on soil for the complete vegetation period would be needed to confirm this observation.

We are on the edge of a new era of drug discovery. Decades of research into the basic science of biological systems is starting to bear fruit. Within the next 10 years new drugs tailored to individuals that will be both safer and more effective are set to appear on the market.
New additions to the bathroom cabinet will include powerful statins to cut cholesterol, enzymes to promote digestive health and new classes of painkillers geared to personal pain receptors. Patients will have access to stem cells from which new tissue can be grown, DNA profiling setting out their risks of developing or passing on inherited disease and tests for predicting individual drug response. Gene therapy for certain childhood blood conditions such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disorder has already proved effective, heralding a revolution in treatments for inherited disease.
In fertility treatment, scientists are working on making sperm and eggs from skin cells in a process known as haploidisation. If successful, it could bring hope to the one in six infertile couples who are unable to produce their own genetic offspring.
The new drug for breast cancer, Herceptin, is a harbinger of drug developments to come. It is one of a new class of cancer drugs that some experts claim will transform cancer from a killer disease to a chronic condition like diabetes. Herceptin is among the first of the new "personalised" medicines - only effective in the 20 per cent of breast cancer patients with a specific genetic profile, marked b the presence of Her2-positive receptors. This new class of "designer" cancer drugs, built from research on cancer at the molecular level and designed to have a specific action, will mean better targeted treatments suitable for specific groups of patients. "The molecular era is starting in which we will be able to break down diseases into more specific entities. It has started in cancer in a dramatic way," Sir David Weatherall, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, said recently.
But there is a downside to this new era of personalised treatment. The drugs will be much more expensive because they are suitable for fewer people. One reason for the high cost of Herceptin - around £20,000 a year - is that the potential market is only one fifth of that for other breast cancer drugs. The new drug for lung cancer, Tarceva, is being hailed as a breakthrough in the treatment of the disease but it costs £75 a day and must be taken for life.
Progress will not only come from drug development. Surgeons will soon attempt the ultimate cosmetic operation - a whole face transplant. New surgical techniques combined with developments in anaesthetics will mean more treatment can be delivered outside hospitals in clinics and GP surgeries. Last week the first woman to have a kidney removed through keyhole surgery was able to leave hospital and return home the same day.
One of the most urgent areas of research is in vaccines against avian flu. The H5N1 virus that has decimated poultry flocks in the Far East, infected 176 people and killed 97, is slowly evolving. The risk of a flu pandemic is higher than it has been for 30 years. Scientists are racing against time to develop an effective vaccine. The lives of millions of people may depend on it.
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system is overactive or faulty, leading to inflammation, swelling and pain in healthy tissue. CP-690,550 blocks an enzyme known as Jak3 found only in immune system cells. Blocking Jak3 suppresses the immune system and thus relieves RA, while not affecting other systems of the body. Current drugs target enzymes found in cells throughout the body, resulting in toxic side-effects. CP-690,550 could also treat a number of other autoimmune diseases such as eczema and psoriasis, and help transplant patients.
SOMAXON - Nalmefene
Behaviour and mental health is one of the biggest growth areas, with more than 2,000 clinical trials recruiting, to test drugs tackling conditions ranging from agoraphobia and gambling, to stress and transsexualism. Nalmefene from Somaxon has been on trial as a way of taking the thrill out of gambling - six out of 10 pathological gamblers who took the pill daily benefited. An opiate antagonist, it blocks the part of the brain that processes pleasure. It is being tested next for compulsive shopping and may work for kleptomania and pyromania.
Alzheimer's is a leading target of research, with more than 100 trials recruiting. AAB-001 by Élan Pharmaceuticals aims to provide antibodies to beta amyloid, the protein involved in the disease's development. Animal studies have shown this approach is effective in clearing beta amyloid from the brain. Around 30 hospitals are likely to be involved in a clinical trial. Another drug being trialled, FK962, triggers the release of the hormone somatostatin in parts of the brain involved in learning and memory. Alzheimer's is associated with reduced brain levels of several neurotransmitters, including somatostatin.
There are more than 40 clinical trials of drugs and treatments for sleep disorders underway. Vanda's VEC-162, now in clinical trials, is a new type of drug known as a melatonin agonist, developed for the treatment of sleep problems and mood disorders. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size structure at the centre of the brain, at night, and it helps to regulate the sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin supplements are used for jet lag and increasingly for sleep conditions, but the new drug would get the body to adjust its own production levels of the compound. Research suggest that drugs like VEC-162 induce more natural sleep than traditional sleeping pills.
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in over-60s and affects one in four of this group in Britain. The rods and cones in the central part of the retina stop working, making it difficult or impossible to see fine detail. No exact cause is known, but the build- up of oxidative damage is thought to be a major factor. OT-551, being developed by Othera Pharmaceuticals, is the first of a new type of drug called catalytic antioxidants that are designed to boost the body's natural defences against free radical damage. A small dose taken as an eye drop could be effective for long periods.
NATIONAL CENTER FOR COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE - Mistletoe
More than 240 drugs for lung cancer are at various stages of research and development. A new drug is desperately needed - five-year survival rates are among the lowest of all the malignancies. But not all the new avenues feature man-made drugs. Mistletoe extract, which has a number of uses in traditional folk medicine, is being investigated in a small clinical trial by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumours. Fifty patients will take the extract along with a more widely used drug. Early research suggests mistletoe stimulates the immune system into attacking cancer cells.
MERCK - Isis-113715
Around one in five adults in the UK are obese and hundreds of potential drugs are at varying stages of development. According to McGill University in Montreal, at least 20 companies, including Merck, with Isis-113715, are focusing on an enzyme called PTP1B, which prevents a fat-burning hormone, leptin, working properly. Early research on animals shows that those who had low levels of PTP1B were lean with little or no fat. "If leptin does not work, you will become obese," says Dr Philip Scarpace of the University of Florida. Other research is looking at drugs that tackle the reward system in the brain. Biovitrum in Stockholm is testing a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor called BVT.933, with promising early results.
Prevention as well as the easing of symptoms are the aims of new drugs. GW274150 from GlaxoSmithKline, aims to control nitric oxide, which is thought to play a part in the development of migraine headache. It works by reducing levels of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), a chemical involved in the production of the oxide. GW274150 is on trial as a potential prophylactic treatment for migraine. Another drug, SB-705498, is designed to work on receptors in the trigeminal nerve, one of the cranial nerves on each side of the head. The aim is to block the receptor to get rid of the pain and lower sensitivity.

BERLIN – A think-tank affiliated with Germany's Social Democratic Party issued a
new report last week that revealed high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany,
Poland and Hungary, as well as varying manifestations of racism, homophobia and
prejudice in eight European countries.Dr. Beate Küpper, a researcher
from the University of Bielefeld who co-authored the Friedrich Ebert
Foundation's study along with her colleagues Andreas Zick and Andreas

presence of "anti-Semitism that is linked with Israel and is hidden behind
criticism of Israel, and is not neutral."

ST. LOUIS — New offensive coordinator or not, it's up to St. Louis Rams players to get the job done 12 games into the season.
They vow to answer the late, late wakeup call and finish strong.
"I don't think we have any quitters in this locker room," tight end Jared Cook said. "I think everybody's going to fight through to the end. I know I am."
The Detroit Lions changed coordinators after an 0-4 start. The game after installing Jim Bob Cooter, they got routed by the Chiefs in London.
"You go out there and play like you want to see yourself when you come watch the film," wide receiver Calvin Johnson said. "You never want to see yourself not giving full effort or backside jogging or loafing on plays, so just go about your business."
Both teams entered the season full of promise. The Lions followed an 11-win season with an 0-5 start and the Rams have lost five in a row, falling flat after entering November with a winning record for the first time since 2006.
Rob Boras will be calling plays for the first time in a dozen years for St. Louis after replacing Frank Cignetti on Monday. There's no time for an overhaul, so he'll try to coax more from an attack that's 31st overall in the NFL and has shuffled quarterbacks a second time after Case Keenum cleared the concussion protocol.
The Rams trail the NFL in third-down efficiency at just 24.5 percent, fourth-worst since 1972 according to STATS. The Lions have held three of their last four opponents to 18 or fewer points.
Here are some other things to watch for when the Lions take on the Rams:
UNDERACHIEVING D: The Rams had a top-10 defensive unit at midseason, but they're falling fast — dropping five spots to 18th this week. Season-ending injuries to standout end Robert Quinn and safety T.J. McDonald aren't the whole story.
"Not having Rob and T.J. is not going to lower our standards," middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "I don't think that changes the fact how poorly we've played against the run."
AIR IT OUT: The Lions are ranked ninth in passing and conditions are optimal for Matthew Stafford & Co. The St. Louis secondary is thin with safety Maurice Alexander getting his first career start and top cornerback Janoris Jenkins (concussion) a question.
"For us, the big thing is just to protect the ball," Johnson said. "If we keep the ball in our hands, we'll do some damage."
FAIRLEY WELL: The Lions elected not to re-sign 2011 first-round pick Nick Fairley and the defensive tackle said there are no hard feelings, "none whatsoever." He hasn't started in St. Louis, but has been a solid member of the rotation.
Fairley said the biggest thing he would have changed about his four years in Detroit was playing with more consistency. He didn't come to St. Louis with a clean slate, either, saying: "It's always there with my career, it'll be there."
GURLEY'S SLUMP: Todd Gurley has been stifled in recent weeks, totaling nine carries each of the last two weeks and averaging just 3.1 yards per carry and 42.7 yards per game the last month.
A priority for Boras, who had been an assistant head coach and tight ends coach, will be getting the rookie back in gear. St. Louis gambled on going young on the offensive line and the plan has backfired partly due to injuries, with too many rookies in the mix. The Lions have held four consecutive opponents to 70 or fewer yards, but coach Jim Caldwell cautions, "He's still as capable as anyone that you'll see."
LOSS RESPONSE: Besides the 45-10 defeat to Kansas City after Joe Lombardi was canned, the Lions had nothing in Week 5 after losing at Seattle when officials didn't correctly call the Seahawks for batting the ball out of the end zone. They got routed 42-17 at home against Arizona to fall to 0-5. The latest test of resiliency comes Sunday.

This is a fabulous part of Truro in Cornwall. Although full of modern shops and cafes, it feels like you've stepped back a couple of centuries and you can feel the ghosts of people rushing about their business from long ago. I hope that the perspective in this drawing pulls the viewer in so that they feel a part of the drawing themselves. This original drawing was produced using black fine line pens and marker pens in shades of grey. It is double mounted and framed with a black wood frame and UV resistant glass.

Pajanimals for A Good Day, Good Night Giveaway
We've surmounted the back-to-school bedtime routine, and managed the sugar rush of Halloween. Now it's time to keep bedtime continuity through the holidays. As parents prepare the house, the food, and the gifts, we can rest easy knowing the Pajanimals are entertaining our kids for a few sweet minutes before bedtime. Our copy of Meet the Pajanimals is the perfect thing for those last minutes between pajamas and bedtime reading.
As with most Jim Hensen company projects, Pajanimals includes slower paced frame transitions that lend the show a peaceful quality for kids to track. The soft color palettes and fleecy fabrics used in the animals and sets make me want to cuddle up right inside my TV.
The four characters are Apollo, Squaky, CowBella, and Sweetpea. They each have a bed in their shared room, and each episode includes a life lesson for one of the characters.
In Blankie in the Laundry, Squaky's blankie is still in the laundry and he's feeling lonely. The other Pajanimals offer to share their lovies and help their friend. Other themes include packing for a trip (what to take? how do I feel about leaving home?), getting mad about sharing, and having the bedtime jitters and finding a way to calm down. If your house is anything like mine at 7pm, the kids are ramping up their crazy and we need to find a path to sleepytime. Seems like the Pajanimals know this routine.
In one scene, the Pajanimals are going to bed and one realizes he didn't brush his teeth. Another remarks, "Good remembering!" I thought that was really cute and a good way to encourage sometimes-monotonous activities like teeth brushing. Also, each story includes a parent voicing, "Pajanimals, five minutes until bedtime!" and then the Pajanimals say, "OK!" I like the immediate agreement in this gesture. It's a small thing, but something that kids will remember and slowly emulate.
Of course, after bedtime, the Pajanimals still have an adventure when they pile on one bed and travel to the Land of Hush. This is where they find a solution to whatever issue is at hand, and then they return home to sleep soundly.
I previewed the Pajanimals with my three-year-old and his friends, and then he asked to watch it again later. I'm probably supposed to say that I limited my kid's TV watching to one 12-minute episode, but he liked them so much that he watched all 4 episodes. I did too, and by the end we were both drowsy in a perfect going-to-bed sort of way.
We're giving away two (2) copies of Meet the Pajanimals! Leave a comment below sharing what your kids' bedtime routine is. Two random winners will be chosen at noon EST on Friday, November 9.
Pajanimals airs on Sprout, and on weekends can be seen on NBC Kids Block. Check your local listings for times.

More training and research to protect vulnerable children from Internet sites that encourage self-harm and suicide was announced today in the wake of the death of teenager Tallulah Wilson.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said psychiatrists would get compulsory training in future in how to promote mental wellbeing in the media to children and families.
In addition, the Government is funding a research project to study how the internet can trigger suicidal behaviour and how to prevent it.
Mr Hunt's announcement came in a letter to the coroner who expressed concerns about the lack of expertise among professionals who might have been able to help girls like Tallulah, who took her life last year.
The 15-year-old was found dead at St Pancras station on October 12, 2012, moments after walking out of her dance school at King's Cross.
In January, St Pancras Coroner's Court heard she had posted self-harm images on the social networking site Tumblr and her mother spoke of her daughter being involved in a "toxic digital world".
Coroner Mary Hassell raised concern that the healthcare professionals who gave evidence had all admitted they did not really understand the way the Internet could affect young people. She sent a series of demands to the Department of Health to learn lessons, including by research and better clinical practice to understand the risks.
Mr Hunt said: "I recognise the increasing importance of the role of media and in particular social media in the lives of young people."
He said Bristol University had been commissioned to research "the use of the internet in relation to suicidal behaviour" and prevention. The findings will be used to teach clinical staff how to save children from sites that could influence "suicidal feelings and behaviour".
Mr Hunt said he was asking the Royal College of Psychiatrists, which is responsible for training clinical staff, to comment on the coroner's report.
He backed making compulsory an optional course in understanding how the media affects mental health "in the light of the increasing use of, and issues surrounding, social media".
"The loss of a young person in such tragic circumstances is always a matter for concern," said Mr Hunt.Reuse content
