NFL Preview: The AFC East
Can the Pats repeat as AFC East champs? Will the wildcat offense work with in Tim Tebow in New York? Will Miami finally close the revolving door of quarterbacks? And what of the Bills? Answers inside our NFL preview.
It's been over six months since anything even remotely resembling football has been on television (unless, of course, you live in Canada, where their bastardized rendition of the Great American Game starts in July, has three downs, 10 extra yards and literal acres of end zone). It's August and we're all tired of the 162-game baseball slog; it's time to start talking football again, and we start this week with the AFC East.
Buffalo Bills (6-10)
After their suspect early season push in 2011, the wheels came off in Buffalo as we all supposed they would; they went from putting up 30 points a game over the first seven to only 18 in the final nine (owing in large part to a similar trend with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick's numbers: 68 completion percentage and a 2:1 TD/INT ratio in weeks 1-7, 58 and 10:16 over the last nine) and finished among the worst in the league defensively. The latter problem they solved — albeit expensively — with the free-agent signings of defensive ends Mario Williams and Mark Anderson, but the former is still subject to the status quo.
The good news offensively for Buffalo is that they saw what C.J. Spiller can do on the ground last year (5.2 average yards and four TDs in six games), and along with Fred Jackson, they may have one of the best back tandems in the league; the bad news is that everyone knows it and the Bills don't have enough versatility in the air to keep opposing defenses guessing. As a result they'll struggle to consistently move the ball into the red zone where the targets they do have excel.
2012 Expectations: Their defensive splurge should keep them in a few more games, but without any upgrades on offense or a true downfield threat to draw attention away from the run, they'll struggle to win them. 7-9, 3rd in the AFC East.
New England Patriots (13-3)
New England attempted a mind-boggling number of passes last year, 612 to be exact, and connected on 401 of them for 5,235 yards, 39 TDs and only 12 INTs. A repeat performance in 2012 seems improbable considering last year's effort ranks among the best offensive seasons of all time, but the Pats still managed to upgrade this off-season with the addition of downfield threat WR Brandon Lloyd, so the sky is really the limit. He'll be joined by the usual suspects Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski and Deion Branch, making for a virtually un-coverable receiving corps and a ton of touchdowns.
Nevertheless, regression is probably in the cards; the Pats lost RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis and did nothing to improve the league's second-worst defense and secondary. They lucked out in drawing only a few offensively explosive teams in 2012, but we have to wonder how much longer New England can keep playing a one-dimensional game successfully.
2012 Expectations: It's difficult to imagine that a winning franchise like the Pats are so flat, but they are; if they lose Brady, they lose their receivers. If they lose their receivers, they lose their trips to the red zone and with it their league-best red zone rushing conversions (56 TDs over the last three years), which means they lose touchdowns, which means they lose games behind an absolutely awful secondary. But Brady, at 34, is healthy at the moment, so another AFC East title shouldn't be a problem. 12-4, 1st in the AFC East.
New York Jets (8-8)
What better place for a headline-hogging halfback-quarterback like Tim Tebow than a pressure-cooker like New York? It seems the Jets have finally (or rather partially) given up on the idea of Mark Sanchez as a franchise QB and have decided to revert to the ground-and-pound offense that worked so well for them in 2010. And this year, with the help of Tebow and new OC Tony Sparano, they'll mix in a wildcat system that should be fairly effective given the parts they've assembled. RB Shonn Greene has stepped into a premier role, running for 1,054 yards last season and only losing yards on 16 of his 253 carries. Though he only managed a modest 4.2 yards per carry, he only fumbled once and his average should be helped this year by the shadow games implemented by Tebow and Co.
Still, it won't be all fun and games in New York (is it ever?). Though TE Dustin Keller should see increased production as the Jets get more compact, expect a midseason temper tantrum from WR Santonio Holmes, whose role should be severely marginalized under the new system. Gone are the days of long bombs at Metlife; this is a team that plans to wear defenses down with nothing but true grit and guessing games.
2012 Expectations: This was bound to happen; with an almost dead-even TD/INT ratio and a paltry 73.2 QB rating, Sanchez' days were numbered as the number one guy in New York. Unfortunately, the Jets' schedule has them matched up with some of the best defenses in the league, and after a Week Two game in Pittsburgh and back-to-back games against the Niners and Texans in Weeks Four and Five, they'll need to drown out the crowd noise calling for an end to wildcat. But with a little patience, this could work. 8-8, 2nd in the AFC East.
Miami Dolphins (6-10)
The last time the Dolphins had a bona fide first-string starter at QB, gas cost about $1.10/gallon, Bill Clinton was still residing in the Oval Office and we were gearing up for the impending economic and social collapse of Y2K. Since then it's been a bit of a mixed bag that has yielded mixed results: a few winning seasons, a few more losing ones, one 1-15 season and a whole handful of Chads. In an effort to curb or close the revolving door, the Dolphins took Texas A&M standout and third-best QB of the draft Ryan Tannehill. Everyone agrees the potential is there, but unlike his counterparts, Andrew Luck and RGIII, he is going to require some time to develop in the pros.
Which is fine considering the state of the Dolphins. They got rid of their most valuable asset (and biggest off-field headache), Brandon Marshall, but are left with what might be the worst receiving corps in the league. In the backfield, Reggie Bush has finally proved he's an every down–type back (his 5.0 average is up from 3.7 in his first three seasons), but with a new coach, a new offense and a new system, he might lose carries to Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller, not to mention the ones he's already lost to Tannehill trying to air it out as the season wears on. All this to say, temper expectations.
2012 Expectations: Miami is officially in rebuilding mode, and it seems they're going to let Tannehill get used to life in the pros before they invest in any high-profile targets for him to throw to. Consider Bush a midseason trade candidate if he repeats what he did last year and consider the season a wash. 4-12, 4th in the AFC East.

community members encourage him but if a girl wants to go elders ask
her why she wants to complicate her life," says Dhaka-based Mahmud
Hassan. In a country where one in every two males accesses information
online yet only three in a hundred Bangladeshi women do, access for
schoolgirls is not just about the availability of computers and
classes. For girls, it requires the support of the entire community and

Flesh of Dust and Blood and Fire
Dedicated to Winson Chen
Mother's skin stretches to accommodate the bulbous sac of water where we originate. Stretch marks: bear paws on skin of belly, hips, and breasts. Claw-line scars lighten, but never disappear. No laser, cream, or cure masks evidence of existence.
Winson was born, Asian skin, olive and smooth and shining wet, as beautiful as any other baby boy ever was.
Derived from a single ancestral Eve's mitochondrial cell. We, born in sensitive vulnerability. Arrive. Wet. Warm.
Gasping first breaths.
Some will come gray-skinned. Some will come blue.
Born into death.
Always, all come coated in body blood and fluid.
He had breath.
Shrieking pink.
With ten fingers. Ten toes.
Fingers and foot's toes, our first identification prints. The intricacies of unique thumbs, like the zebra's stripes; no two toe swirls are ever formed alike.
After the birth, foreskin, umbilical cord and placenta are discarded. Discards sometimes live second lives in laboratories, alongside aborted stem cells and malignant tissue harvests.
Those are the lucky ones.
We strive to live in this world of strife. Through trauma, we persevere, without so much as a satisfactory, chitinous crunch of thorax under the sole of a shoe.
Winson burned alive for twenty-five minutes, and he died, but he didn't.
Resuscitation reversed Dead On Arrival.
He awoke three months later from an extended morphine-dream coma. A coma-dream nightmare about a cross-country crime spree and homosexual gang rapes in a maximum-security prison.
His father said:
"Son, you've had an accident."
Winson first asked for a mirror, and after he used it, he tried to die.
Un-plugging artificial extensions,
destroying the mechanical, inorganic system keeping him alive, removing lines of intravenous morphine,
rejecting pretense of medicinal vitality
and hypertonic saline nutrient drippings.
He spent six months wrapped in white. Gauze held his marrow meat sinews, in
absence of epidermal shell,
he became a man,
delicate, corporeality
folded in one thousand paper-crane prayers.
Unwrapped, his blood flesh was pink red, raw as fresh-killed cow's hide on a spitting grill.
We, our flesh and bones, taut muscles stretched over skeletal frame, are blood eyeballs. Not gleaming fish scales shining silver.
It all withers. Decomposition begins long before the body dies.
After age sixteen, your neck skin starts losing elasticity. After age thirty: women's bones are too old to benefit from
calcium supplementation; the testosterone that makes a man a man dissipates by the day. Wrinkles of age replace tautness of youth. Sagging is as inevitable as a baby's behind is smooth.
Winson has a body map of burns and scars.
His legs, a quilt of square skin grafts. His arms, rippled fish scales, feel like cobblestones worn smooth. He has one fully functioning hand, and another forever curled in a hammer-claw fist. Though his fingerprints have changed, they are still uniquely his. But this is not the body he was born with. It is now new. It is foreign. It is his, and it is him.
Think of rotten skin stretched across a faceless skull in decomposition. The dirt clumps beneath maggots in feast. The congregation of slithering worm-crawl squirms. How long does it take for once-fluid eyeballs sunk in sockets to dissolve? To deflate?
The fire consumed most of his face and the cartilage was the first to go. He lives with one eye of fluid and one eye of glass painted black. In sleep, his lids only half close, and whites of hard-boiled-egg eyes are left exposed to the night. Meanwhile, on the bedside table, a Mr. Potato Head nose, a silly-puttied prosthetic, molded from the distinguished features of an old Jewish doctor, ill-shaped for the face of this Chinese boy, waits until morning to be bolted in its place.
Tattooed sideburns and eyebrows fill in patches of skull where hair will never grow. Hair plugs scalp, grown thick black.
After more than one hundred reconstructive procedures, he is addicted to plastic surgery.
Lip injections let him smile how he wants to.
Almost like the way he used to.
We scar. We bruise. We bleed. We break.
Our skin can be grafted, faces transplanted, blood transfused, and bone marrow borrowed from bones of baboons. Cuticles are shorn, chewed until torn ragged and bleeding, but they regenerate.
His Superman tattoo was middle-split: eroded, but not erased by the flames.
Noting the irony of this cracked symbol, he asked:
"If the man of steel could die, what are my chances of survival?"
The remaining ink on his arm was re-grafted to his back, with added words:
"Only the strong survive."
We survive, just penetrable hide and no fearsome tusks. Without the ugliness of cockroach antennae to strike fear into superior beings. No armadillo's armor. No porcupine's spines spike out to protect us.
At the urging of a snake, the teeth sank into red forbidden skin to taste the sinful, yet seductive, white pulp.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the flesh that was not hidden became their shame. Until to primordial dust it does return.

Sequoia Healthcare District subsidy of Nursing Program
Original post made by Jack Hickey, Woodside: Emerald Hills, on Apr 20, 2012
Sequoia Healthcare District has been granting $1,000,000/year since 2004 in subsidies to students enrolled in a Baccalaureate Nursing program established by the District in conjunction with SF State University and Cañada College.
The target was to enroll 40 nurses each year.
As a Board Member, I suggested that funding should have come from the Nurse's Union, which could then collect repayment from wages just as they collect union dues. This could have avoided the situation where 9 nurses subsidized by the District taxpayers took their newly acquired skills to Palm Springs.
This recent memo from CEO Lee Michelson opens up discussion on the issue:
"As you are aware, we are in year 8 of a 10 year commitment to fund the nursing program at a cost of $1 million per year. As the program is a 2 year academic program, we will need to indicate prior to December if we plan to renew our commitment and if so, for how long."
Lee further opines:
"As I see it, we have many options to consider. One is simply to renew for a period of time. Another is to declare victory and say we have accomplished our goal. A third is to alter our approach to offer a scholarship program and/ or a loan program."
He then adds this:
"Yesterday, Kim and I met with representatives from San Francisco State University and Sequoia Hospital Nursing about an additional or alternative program, modeled on a program now in operation at San Francisco General Hospital. The concept is a simple one. SFSU would bring their curriculum and faculty to the campus of Sequoia Hospital and offer a B.A. in nursing to staff nurses who want to upgrade their education. The hospital would arrange work shifts to accommodate these classes and they would also invite nurses working at SMMC and Kaiser to attend."
Lee provided details:
"The cost to offer this program would run about $30,000 per student or about $15,000 per year. The students/nurses could be expected to pay a portion, other donors could contribute and the District could either offer grants, scholarships or loans. Obviously, the nurses already have the clinical requirements and they have jobs so this program does not add new nurses in to the system, but upgrades skills and therefore improves care. A big component of the education is the requirement that the nurses devote numerous hours in the community, so we could help place them in our schools and the nonprofits that we support."
Mr. Michelson concludes by saying:
"I will keep you update as more information becomes available."
Readers can be assured that I will do likewise.

Jack, Is there anymore information re: "This could have avoided the situation where 9 nurses subsidized by the District taxpayers took their newly acquired skills to Palm Springs."
This is always going to be a challenge for San Mateo County. We educate them with taxpayer money and they leave....

Individual taxpayers should decide if we want to make charitable contributions rather than letting this defunct 'hospital' take our tax money and do with it as they wish.

Michael, for the District's spin on the Nursing Program as presented to the Board at it's 1June 2011 meeting, see: Web Link
Information for that meeting, including minutes, is not accessible on the Districts website. Web Link
At the August 3, 2011 meeting, I requested corrections to the minutes:
"With respect to the Nursing Program Status Update under June 1 minutes, Director Hickey said they were incorrect as the program did not meet all its benchmark goals regarding employment of nursing graduates working within the District. Mr. Michelson replied that there is no employment benchmark for the program.
Motion: To approve the June 1 minutes amended to add comment that Director Hickey stated that there should be a benchmark as to the number of student nurses hired within the District.
By: Director Kane
Seconded by: Director Faro
Roll Call Vote: 4-1-0 Director Hickey opposed
Motion Passed"
NOTABLE: From the Draft minutes, it was reported that "One hundred forty-three, nearly 53%, of graduates live and work in San Mateo County." ONLY 53%? What fraction of those work in the District which subsidized their education?
Anyone with the time and inclination to listen to the tapes of these meetings can do so at the District Office. You will hear Art Faro suggesting that no benchmark is necessary.
I have repeatedly requested that those tapes be digitized and made accessible on the District website.

Wouldn't it be easy to put handcuffs on the funding? To get the money you pledge to work in San Mateo for four years if jobs are available there. Otherwise you are obligated to pay the money back.

Initial approval of the Nursing Program is contained in the minutes for the 16 Dec 2003 meeting at: Web Link
In addition to the $1,000,000/year subsidy, there was an initial start-up expense of $650,000.

Eric, if the nurses work within the District, the beneficiary would be the hospital for which they work. They should either make the original $25,000 loan (my preference) or assume responsibility for repayment. Ideally, the nurses who are the primary beneficiaries, should pay back the loans. (to the unions)
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Apr 24, 2012 at 12:47 am
I received from Sequoia Healthcare District CEO Lee Michelson, a paper copy of the "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) regarding the Nursing Program. I have requested that it be made available on the District website.
Section 9, paragraph h calls for a review of program status after the 5th class has been admitted, and refers to criteria (aka benchmarks)for keeping the program in effect for the full 10 years. "...and, (iii) the Hospital's employment rate of program graduates is acceptable to SHCD."
An updated review showed that from 2008-2011, only 55 out of ~160 graduates were hired or being considered for hiring by the Hospital. And, as previously reported, only 53% of graduates live and work in San Mateo County.
Is that acceptable? Apparently the majority of the SHCD Board thinks it is.

Pueblo citizen's group attempts to take justice in their own hands
PUEBLO, Colo. - A Pueblo man was chased 15 blocks, then tackled to the ground, but it wasn't police hunting the man, it was a group of neighbors.
They call themselves the American Indian Movement. On Sunday, Rudy Reddog led a mission to capture a neighborhood man they thought was a bad guy. He says someone spotted him in a park.
They thought the man raped a girl and exposed himself to another girl.
"We are proud as a community to stand with our east side brothers and sisters, our mothers, our fathers, our grandmothers and grandfathers, to stand up against bullying and sexual abuse in our community," said Reddog.
"The other neighbors started to notice him, they all started pointing to him, then the girls in the neighborhood said, 'Yes, that's him, that's the one,' and when they said that, (we) took off running," said Reddog. "As we tackled him, we waited for police to come because all the neighbors were watching and called police."
Police said Reddog got belligerent and arrested him, identifying him as 36-year-old Radolpho Balles.
As for the man Reddog was chasing, police don't believe he's a person of interest in any ongoing cases and let him go.
"That party isn't a sexual predator, never has been reported as one and is cooperating with us," said Pueblo Chief Andrew McLachlan.
Reddog said police aren't doing enough and that's why his group is stepping in. But police say that is not true.
"If we find something to put someone in jail, we're doing it," said McLachlan.

6 Months back I've got an email.
"Hi Rajesh,
Happened to read your blog on Domain Transfer from Google Apps to Godaddy.
Been struggling with this for a while now.…
Warm Regards,
Nidhi Kapoor"
I helped her with that and later we stumble upon mutually solving few more such similar issues and gradually trust built up and became friend then when we started sharing few of our personal activities that we like to do apart from work we found that we share one common interest and that was inclination towards spirituality and I told her about my experience of Art of Living Course and there she suggested me to go for 10 day Vipassana Meditation Retreat, I did heard this term before around 3 years back when I was in Mumbai and visited the largest Pagoda in making situated adjacent to Essel World in Mumbai but I visited that place purely as a Tourist I never knew what is the meaning of Vipassana and it is all about and I thought it is just another Buddhist Pagoda and an year later when I went Lumbini in Nepal again as tourist there also I saw similar Burmese architectural Pagoda of Vipassana (Although I didn't knew it's Burmese Architectural at that time) then also I thought it is just another some Buddhist pagoda uses for Buddhist spiritual rituals and rites such as praying Lord Buddha and chanting.

My position was that if you were blue I would save MWB because I figured they'd let me live. If you were red I was going to save myself.
I love to play, but I'll never hesitate to sacrifice myself when I'm blue.
If I would have been around on day 2, Hammer would have seen me go all pitbull on him again.

While there are dozens of get-started guides for Git and users of GitHub see a "pro tip" every time they refresh GitHub.com, it's still not easy to find a collection of useful tips for developers who want to work smarter with Git and GitHub. Let's fix that.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Git or GitHub, the next few paragraphs will give you enough background to understand the tips. We'll list about a dozen useful resources at the end of this article.
Git is a distributed version control system, originally written by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for and with help from the Linux kernel community. I'm not here to sell you on Git, so I'll spare you the spiel about how fast and small and flexible and popular it is, but you should know that when you clone a Git repository ("repo," for short), you get the entire version history on your own computer, not just a snapshot from one branch at one time.
Git started as a command-line tool, befitting its origin in the Linux kernel community. You can still use the Git command line, if you like, but you don't have to. In particular, if you use GitHub as your host, you can use the free GitHub client on Windows or Mac. On the other hand, the Git command line will work for any host, and it comes pre-installed on most Mac and Linux systems.
Only you can decide whether you are most comfortable using the command line or a native client with a graphical user interface. If you like a GUI, in addition to the GitHub client (Windows and Mac), you might want to consider SourceTree (Windows and Mac, free), TortoiseGit (Windows only, free), and Gitbox (Mac only, $14.99). Or you can use an editor or IDE that supports Git internally (see tip No. 11).
Git/GitHub tip No. 1: Clone almost anything
There are many interesting projects available from GitHub and other public Git repositories that you can clone freely to your own computer. Why would you want to do that? One reason is to learn something about coding style, practice, and tools in a language of interest, including commit log commenting style (see tip No. 4). A second reason is to learn how a given project accomplishes its goals. A third reason, should the licensing both permit you to do so and make sense for your purposes, would be to incorporate the project into your own endeavor or product. Double-check the license, by the way, so that you don't run into compliance issues later on.
The definition of
git clone from the manual page:
Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository (visible using
git branch -r), and creates and checks out an initial branch that is forked from the cloned repository's currently active branch.
After the clone, a plain
git fetchwithout arguments will update all the remote-tracking branches, and a
git pullwithout arguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into the current master branch, if any.

Prime Minister John Key is not fazed by the Australian Government's increasing subsidies to film studios such as Disney, saying that New Zealand's subsidy scheme remained competitive.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced yesterday that the blockbuster 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea would be made in New South Wales after government agreed to pay producer Walt Disney Film Studios a one-off A$22 million grant.
She also announced increased funding to attract international productions to Australia and a commitment to offset studios' costs if the Australian dollar remained high. A similar grant ensured that another Hollywood production, The Wolverine, was also filmed in Sydney.
Asked whether New Zealand could compete with Australia's offers, Mr Key said: "I think we've got a really good system. Our large budget grants scheme is now well-understood, and it's served New Zealand well."
He said New Zealand did not want to get into a subsidies "race" with Australia, and it was more important to maintain its "competitive, transparent" scheme.
"I don't think we should get too hung up about whether their subsidies are slightly bigger than ours. There's lots of advantages for New Zealand productions."
Mr Key did not know whether New Zealand was considered as a location for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a remake of a movie based on a Jules Verne novel.
New Zealand's Large Budget Screen Production Grant provided a 15 per cent rebate for film and television productions worth more than $15 million. Rebates were also provided for digital and visual effects work done in New Zealand.
Mr Key was lobbied by Fox, Disney, Warner Bros, Universal, Sony and MGM to raise these subsidies during an visit to the US in October.
Australia offered a 16.5 per cent rebate for film productions and a 30 per cent rebate for and digital and effects work.
The National-led Government changed employment laws and granted tax breaks amounting to $67 million to Warners in 2010 to ensure that The Hobbit films were made in New Zealand.
Documents released by ministers in Febuary showed that the studio in charge of The Hobbit, New Line Cinema, had received "very attractive incentives" from Australia in exchange for filming The Hobbit in New South Wales.


text: I noticed a new drip under the truck, today, and took a dive into it. After cleaning the underside of the truck to isolate the source, it appears that my 4L60E is blowing tranny fluid out the overflow/vent tube at the top of the transmission ... which is then all sorts of fun to find because it hits the spinning shaft and is, thus, spun/slung radially along the underside of the truck. I've read that a common cause of this is transmission overheating -- due to hauling/towing heavy loads and/or the impact of mountainous terrain. I've not been hauling or towing anything except myself and a small backpack these last few weeks ... and I've been on mostly flat terrain, so I don't suspect I've got an overheating problem. (As I don't yet have a working trany gauge in my 04 Sierra 1500, I'm stuck with looking at driving patterns.) I also read, today, that a common cause is overfilling the tranny fluid. So, I warmed up the truck and checked the tranny fluid level while the engine was running and found that the fluid level was just fine. The last thing I read on the issue is that the transmission oil pump could be the culprit -- either its seals are leaking or the chamfer in the pump body rotor pocket is too large. Those mentioning this have replaced their tranny oil pumps with rebuilt pumps (and presumably new seals) .... which resolved their blow-by issues. I'm mechanically inclined ... but I'm largely engine and tranny-stupid. I don't mind learning but I'd prefer to learn in small chunks. I'm curious how bad it is to replace a tranny oil pump. I know the tranny pan and filter must be removed. It looks like an adapter on the valve assembly (which is held in by a retaining clip) must come off and then the torque converter solenoid must be removed. At this point I think the oil pump assembly can be gently pried out and removed/replaced (in addition to replacing its gaskets/seals). My big question is whether or not the tranny must be removed from the truck to do all of this ... or if the work can be done with the tranny in place. Please advise, as I'd like some guidance from more informed/learned transmission folk, and thanks in advance for reading.

[quote user="Ntegrase96"][quote user="miked1958"]
All this yet.. seems like everyday on tv, radio and internet they all feel the need to debate weather Eli is Elite... </P>
What does this guy have to do to get some Props. He will have 2SBs in 4 yrs over what is considered a Dynasty type CLUB</P>
To be fair, I don't think Eli is Elite. I just don't. He makes nice plays and is a pretty damn good QB, but not to the magnitude of the guys that I would call elite (Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers).
Why you may ask? Despite this being his "best year" he still had an awful TD/TO ratio, accuracy wasn't that great, and there were at least 3 other quarterbacks in the NFC alone that had better years.
And when you look objectively at his performances in the last portion of the season and playoffs, how great were they really? They were enough to get the job done and he's more than a 'bus driver'. But c'mon. Jets game? If not for fancy footwork by Cruz, and a 99 yard td Eli's numbers look like this...
8 of 26 (30%) 126 yards (4.2 ypa) 1 int
That was coming off the redskins game where he was also putrid. Then he had a few good games in between, and then the redskins game happened. Felt like he played incredibly in the first half but in the second, he was not the difference maker he usually is, and fortunately had two interceptions slip through the hands of 9ers defenders.
I'd put him at the top of the next tier though as the number 5 overall QB because he finds ways to win so to speak, and has been to the superbowl twice. He's just too inconsistent for me to say he belongs with the names above him.
Edit: From a media standpoint, I think he would have been crowned elite a long time ago if it weren't for his awful first few years. It's hard to get over first impressions if drastic change doesn't happen (IE: Brees switching NFL teams).
So after he wins his 2nd Ring in 4 years on feb 5th. Has the most wins 6 away from home in playoff history, has the record for most 4th quarter Tds.... You dont think all of your fanbase wouldnt kill to have Eli over Romo... Come on now answer it honestly... </P>

text: I moved out of my parents house in the beginning of december, and rented an apartment with a friend of mine from college. It was a 6-month lease, everything was pretty much fine, but in April she told me that she couldn't afford to keep living there and had to look for a different place. I was at a particularly stressful time in my life so I was NOT looking to add moving to the list of items on my plate. With permission from my landlords, I started looking for someone else to rent the place with. The person I ended up going with was a guy a few years older than me, who was, in his words, "working about 12 hours a day" landscaping, as well as installing burglar alarms and security cameras on the side. He had responded to an ad I posted online and we knew some of the same people but had never formally been introduced before he came to look at the place. The landlords met him and we signed a year lease. Now, because of this persons line of work, he got paid in cash and suggested that he could just give me the cash for the rent each month and I would mail the check to the landlords. I wasn't particularly comfortable with this arrangement but I was so panicked about finding someone at that point that I agreed to it. The first few months were fine. We got along well, I met some of his friends and he some of mine, and it seemed like I'd gotten what I'd hoped for in a roommate - someone laid-back who would be respectful and share the bills. Sometime in June, I heard through the grapevine that he was no longer doing the landscaping, although I never found out why. He gave me most of the money for July on time, and promised he'd have the rest to me within a week, which he did, and I didn't think much of it. Well, end of July came, and I finally had to hunt him down because at that point rent was due THE NEXT DAY -at this point I'd already mailed the check- and I hadn't heard a thing from him about it. He said he'd had some sort of gig lined up for that day that hadn't worked out and he'd expected to have had the money in hand, but that he would in a few days. Now it's almost the end of August and I still don't have anything and he's barely said a word to me, period, much less about the money, in the past month or so, when we used to talk all the time. I realize the simple solution is to talk to him about all of this but, (A) he ALWAYS has people over and I'm not trying to cause a scene/ (B) he hangs with a bit of a rough crowd so he's not the kind of person I want to piss off and (C) I guess because we'd gotten along so well at first I'm still hoping he'll come through. All I know is I've been budgeted to within an inch of my life the past few months and I really didn't need that hit to my bank account and I'm really unsure how I should proceed from here. At the same time, it frustrates me more that he wouldn't talk to me about what was going on than that he didn't have the money. I realize it was probably not the wisest thing to move in with someone I barely knew, but I felt like I had no other options, and now I'm stuck $700 in the hole with rent coming up again shortly. Thoughts? Advice?

|P790 charger
User: Mark M, Apr 24, 2009
|I used this on my Motorola phone and headsets many times, and it works great. Its nice to have when the wife and kid both run out of juice and you have only 1 12v outlet in the truck. It takes longer for a full charge than the regular charger, but when you need juice, it works great.
User: Kevin C, Nov 11, 2010
|This seems to be a great charger, and works well on my wifes BlackBerry and on my sons too. However, it wont fit in the USB port on my Storm II which was the purpose in the first place. Result, wife scored a charger, my search goes on..

Sarah Blaffer Hrdy graduated summa cum laude from Radcliffe and received her Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard. She is a former Guggenheim fellow and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the California Academy of Sciences. She is currently professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis, and the recipient of the 2003 University of California Panunzio award, honoring outstanding scholarly work and service achievements since retirement. Her books include The Woman that Never Evolved, selected by the New York Times as one of its Notable Books of 1981, and Mother Nature: A History of Mothers, Infants and Natural Selection, which was chosen by both Publisher's Weekly and Library Journal as one of the "Best Books of 1999" and won the Howells Prize for Outstanding Contribution to Biological Anthropology. She is the mother of three children and lives with her husband, a medical doctor, on their farm in northern California.
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure?
I just finished L'énigme de la Vénus Hottentote, by Gerard Badou, because it was the only available account of the life of Sarah Baartman, a Bushman woman who was brought to London in 1810 and from there to Paris, where she died in 1815. I needed a dictionary and help from French friends. I am currently listening to a tape of Ayala's Angel by Anthony Trollope—starts sappy, gets better. Trollope offers insights into the highly constrained options women in 19th-century England confronted. This book is about orphans; elsewhere he deals with heiresses, authors like his own mother, or spinsters, like Miss MacKenzie.
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)?
Unless I have to, I rarely read books for pleasure anymore. If available, I listen to them on tape, while walking, or at night with the lights out before I go to sleep. Companies like www.booksontape.com now have the most astounding assortment—books like Iris Origo's marvelous Merchant of Prato that I would be hard put to find in a bookstore. I listened to C. P. Snow's entire Strangers and Brothers series and all of Trollope's Palliser Novels and The Way We Live Now (a preview of the Enron scandal) this way. With books on tape, no one minds time spent commuting—just the exhaust from burning so much gas.
Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why? And what are the three best books you've ever read?
Twenty years ago, I probably would have answered Gabriel García Márquez, Miguel Angél Asturias or Margaret Drabble (because of Realms of Gold, a 20th-century novel which actually had an admirable heroine). Today, my hands-down favorites—perhaps it's permanent this time—include two by George Eliot, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, and Homer's Odyssey, probably at its very best listened to rather than read. My favorite version is Robert Fagle's new translation read aloud by Ian McKellen (available through Penguin audiotape).
All three offer intimate windows into past worlds, exploring human nature in the context of extremely patriarchal societies. If George Eliot were alive today, with the opportunities in science now available to women, I imagine she would be reborn as an evolutionary anthropologist or cognitive neuroscientist. Instead, she worked on the margins of science, becoming her own kind of expert on how nature and nurture interact (see The Mill on the Floss!) as well as her era's greatest living novelist. As for Homer, I have no idea who this person was, but anyone who dismisses Homer as just another "dead white male" is making the mistake of a lifetime.
I am an old-fashioned anthropologist who sees her field as the study of human nature in all its diversity. That leaves lots of room for overlap between fiction writers and science writers. Two recent explorations of human nature that I have particularly admired are Ian McEwan's novel Enduring Love and Matt Ridley's nonfiction Origins of Virtue. It would be hard to say which of those two books about altruism and morality begins with the more gripping narrative—McEwan's scene in the park where a couple of good samaritans are on the verge of being hoisted by a hot-air balloon, or Ridley's depiction of the escape from prison of the biologist and anarchist Prince Kropotkin. Both are marvelous.
What book has influenced you most? Explain how.
Indirectly, Darwin's The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex because of his influence on those who have influenced me. But in terms of direct influence, I would have to say John Bowlby's Attachment and Loss because of his insights into infant psychology and development; E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology, because Wilson did so much to convince us of the analytical power of broad comparative approaches; and Patricia Adair Gowaty's writings (see her essays in Feminism and Evolutionary Biology), because she made us think harder about constraints on female choices.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.
Along with Natalie Angier, the journalist whose articles I most enjoy reading is Judith Thurman of the New Yorker. Her biography of Colette, Secrets of the Flesh, has been on my list for months, as has the second volume of Janet Browne's biography of Darwin, Charles Darwin: The Power of Place, and Mary Jane West-Eberhard's monumental Developmental Plasticity and Evolution. Alas, all are long and none are available on tape.
What book recommendations do you have for young readers?
Two wonderfully illustrated classics for children of all ages are D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths and Robin Lister and illustrator Alan Baker's retelling of The Odyssey, both available in paperback. For older children, and all adults, I would recommend Ed Wilson's memoir Naturalist. I used to read aloud excerpts from it—especially Wilson's ill-advised adventure with the cottonmouth—to my reptile-loving son Niko.
For a children's introduction to anthropology, I would recommend Mary Batten's Anthropologist: Scientist of the People, which describes the work of a Venezuelan woman who becomes a human ecologist. Two unforgettably beautiful children's books that are almost impossible to obtain today (but which I wish someone would decide to reprint) are Adventures of King Rama—a monster-filled introduction to Hindu mythology illustrated with Indian paintings from the Freer Gallery—and The Story of Naughty Kildeen, by Marie, Queen of Romania, illustrated by Job—about a spoiled princess who is sent to live with the eagles and comes back the better for it. For their parents I would recommend Meredith Small's Our Babies, Ourselves: How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Parent.
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?
Jonathan Weiner's The Beak of the Finch should be required reading for every undergraduate. I would also recommend books by Matt Ridley, Jared Diamond and Ed Wilson.
Name one book in your discipline that you would recommend for scientists outside your field. Explain your choice.
I really admire Frans de Waal and Frans Lanting's Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape, beautiful and informative while humbly reminding readers that in science, knowledge is a work in progress.

With their club-record 10-game winning streak culminating in the thumping of their nearest rivals, the question must be asked: When will the Breakers next lose?
The two-time defending champions are in irrepressible form, putting 17 points on Perth in the top-of-the-table showdown at Vector Arena to enhance their record to 18-3.
The Wildcats are responsible for two of the Breakers' losses this campaign and since they cleared that hurdle on Friday night, it is difficult to imagine the Breakers being beaten if they continue to play as well as they have in recent weeks.
Saturday night's trip to third-placed Sydney - site of the Breakers' last loss in December - will be another test but the following five games are highly winnable before the season-ending showdown in Perth.
Of course, the number of victories accrued will matter little once the play-offs begin and many see the following six weeks as a mere warm-up for the inevit-able grand final rematch against Perth.
Along with locking up top spot ahead of the Wildcats, who now trail by two games, the remainder of the regular season does have one real benefit for the Breakers - retaining their sky-high confidence before their quest for a three-peat gets serious in April.
"With the Breakers, when they play with a lot of confidence, and they're moving the ball and getting wide open shots, they're a machine," said Perth forward Shawn Redhage. "They are a tough team to beat."
Supporting that sentiment was Breakers back-up guard Corey Webster.
"Unbeatable, at this time, yep, I think so," he said. "It's a good win for us but, once you get down to the play-offs, you forget about all that. But right now, we're feeling good."
The task for coach Andrej Lemanis is ensuring that feeling is maintained now the Breakers are past the silly season and back to playing once a week.
"We've been playing great and the challenge is staying sharp," Lemanis said. "It's about being mentally sharp every time you come into the game, not letting the weeks drag and then having a let-down."
If they avoid that let-down, the rest of the Australian NBL will have a hard time halting their winning streak.

CSO Action to strengthen indigenous child protection mechanisms in West Africa
2011-02-22 10:30:00.0
Download right click "save as"
Over the past eight years, countless programmes and projects have been initiated in West Africa to put an end to child trafficking and the various forms of exploitation associated with trafficking to which children are subjected. The authors argue that many of these initiatives have been unsuccessful (or even harmful for children). This article describes a set of activities organised by one non-governmental organisation (NGO), Terre des Hommes, and assesses whether they are likely to be more fruitful.

I have a version of -xtivreg2- that does RE and other things, but it
isn't distributable yet.
There may be an easy alternative for you, though, namely -xtoverid-.
-xtoverid- (available from ssc-ideas in the usual way) reestimates an
-xtivreg- or -xtivreg2- regression in order to calculate the
Sargan-Hansen J statistic. It accepts -robust- and -cluster-, and
internally it will reestimate the equation using these options.
-xtoverid- has an undocumented option -noi- that displays the internal
re-estimation results. This means you can see the estimation results
with robust or cluster-robust SEs.
It's not ideal because what you'll see is Stata temporary variable names
for the coefficients instead of the variables you've used. But you can
tell which is which by matching the coefficients to the output from
using -xtivreg- with non-robust SEs.
After your -xtivreg- estimation, just do
xtoverid, noi robust
(or cluster-robust if that's what you want).
Hope this helps.

I am a brand new beekeeper (or soon to be beekeeper) in southern Illinois.
I have 4 nucs ordered, should be here in a couple weeks. They will be located off-site as the city in which I live has an ordinance against keeping hives and my wife prohibited them in our small yard, Oh well... I have two outyards anxious to have bees polinating for them.
I have all my woodenware built, painted, and staged at the ready. I am going with foundationless frames that I have trimmed down to 1 1/4" wide sides, solid bottom boards, 10 frame gear, 2 deeps on bottom and mediums above.
I am enjoying reading everyone's contributions here. And I especially love all of the different opinions and methods expressed. This little hobby sure is not cut and dried as to the "how-tos" now is it?
Thanks for helping with the education....

Maybe a 9x51 magnum, it is a pretty large diameter case. Cool find nonetheless.
Thinking about HC's 9mm x39 got me to do some digging i found this. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
9mm Jonson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maybe a 9x51 magnum, it is a pretty large diameter case. Cool find nonetheless.
And I thought Alexander Arms was a bunch of braggarts. At least they didn't claim copyrighted computer algorithm design... looks like the Wikipedia page was done by the same guy who did Jonson's web site.
Google returned bupkis on "jonson cartridge computer algorithm." Looks like they don't include Google Groups in the search results any more, (praise Baud) so I went to the Groups page, found rec.guns, searched for "jonson algorithm" and found nothing there, either.
Went to the US Copyright office, set the search parameters to "1990-2000" and "computer files" and found no results. Set it for any registrations from 1990 to 2000, found 9 results, none of them likely, unless it was buried in a screenplay called "Night of the Slimeoids."
"Show me your code."
I keep wondering what the gazintas of the program would be; you could play games with CFD algorithms, but you'd need detailed pressure-rise curves for the powders you expected to use, not to mention the primers, bullets, leade, and temperature - and the starting temp of the primer and powder make a *big* difference in pressure.
Then, with all this in hand, what final characteristics would you be looking for? Kinda depends...
Such a miracle algorithm, you'd think FN and Winchester and Weatherby would be sending Suits with checkbooks to this guy's door.
I have no idea how the cartridge performs, but I don't think there was any "algorithm" involved.
Five quatloos on "bullshit."
Someone pee in yer Cheerios?
I don't care if a cartridge comes from little green men from Mars, as long as it fits my needs
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
I earn a living as a codeslinger, sometimes. Magic algorithms, or claims to same (like the infamous secret "hockey stick" global warming algorithm) tend to set me off.
Don't worry, it's a mostly-harmless eccentricity.
Yeah I have to agree with you - a supposedly magic formula that feeds in "exhaustive ballistic data" and spits out a cartridge? Sounds like Superman 2 The cartridge looks like a .308 variant.Since a dimensioned .30 PPC design proved not viable, Jonson Labs authored a computer algorithm to optimize the round and in 1984, copyrighted the algorithm that produced The Jonson Factor and also the resulting case design. When the factor was applied to the Jonson .30 PPC-like design, the round proved to incorporate a perfected ballistic profile, designated parallactic precision. The main advantages to the design were improved accuracy through a more consistent powder burn and lower than expected realized recoil per caliber. An entire family of Jonson rounds has since been spawned based on the Jonson Factor.

The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
lol, I too coded. C, micro-assembly, BIOS programming, UNIX and UNIX internals, IBM mainframes (PL/1), SQL, plus various minor languages. I agree that some hype their abilities, but I have also seen some true genius at work in code and systems. I have more "fear and loathing" of end-users and upper management than of fellow coders - even those who are only paper tiger developers.
While I don't discount a claim that someone hyped the development of an iterative cartridge design method, I don't care if they did it via programming or via a rock and a sheet of brass - as long as it works for what I want to do.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
ahhhhhh I learned how to copy amd paste and post pictures. whats a algo@#$$.
in 1984 computers were pretty basic. so im not any thing was desigend on it by these guys.
perhaps I should copyright some of my ideas that have not been built. Can you do that??
Cut and paste = good. Leave the al-gores alone; they'll eat your brain.
Back in ancient times, with hand-carved wooden circuit boards and knapped flint read-write heads, you had to get down and dirty with the hardware and software to do anything useful. Then it becomes an obsession. After a while, it sucks up all the time you could be using for your AK projects. If you're very unlucky, you'll encounter "enablers" (employers) who will keep you on the computer hamster wheel.
Fifteen years from now all your computer stuff will be a sad joke. But your AKs will still work just fine.
The Jonson may be a fine cartridge; it was just their hyper-BS marketing drivel that made me leery of it. That sort of thing turned me off on the Beowulf for a long time. I guess it annoyed me enough to have the chamber reamer made just out of spite, with their "we will sue anyone who infringes on our patent" routine. It's a 12.7 Schuler Short reamer, it just happens a Beowulf cartridge will also fit. Good thing, since I don't have any 12.7 Schuler brass... or Beowulf brass either. [sigh]
What was it about the Jonson that got your interest, other than the 2.81" overall length? It looked like just another "short magnum for .308 magazines" to me.

Avoiding Poor Thesis Statements
It is important not only to have a thesis statement, but to have a good one. An inadequate thesis statement is almost as bad as not having one at all.
Below and on the next few pages are examples of thesis statements you'll want to avoid - because they'll lead to weak papers with poor grades:
- Way too vague and broad.
- What constitutes "major impact"?
- What aspects of the environment are we talking about?
- What century are we talking about?
