After last night's awful game I had to do something to take my mind off of it so I stayed up late and watched epi. 13.
Wow.....WW was finally out manuevered by Hank/Jesse. The fake picture of the money in the ground was brilliant. And the fake pic of Jesse with his brains blown out crazy. I'm just wondering with all violations of procedures would any of Hank's info including the phone call between WW and Jesse hold up in a court. But now you have Todd and his Neo-Nazi uncles. Anyone else wondering how 6-7 guys all with semiautomatic guns can miss Hank & Gomie from such a short distance? I mean...seriously; how Hank and Gomie gets out of this alive is beyond me. And is anyone else wondering why Hank didn't show his badge to the Neo Nazi's when they asked for it? It might not of made a difference, but maybe if they saw the badges they might turn back around and drive off.
Todd & Lydia. Todd creeps me out. I don't think Lydia is attracted to him at all. But can see her using his feelings for her to her advantage. I can see her seducing him to get what she wants. With only 3 episodes left I don't know if they have enough time to explore that though.
Ending the episode in the middle of that shootout was just cruel. Come on Gilligan! you can't have your fans waiting like this LOL.
Notice the songs playing in the background when Todd was talking to Lydia; "She Blinded Me With Science"
A couple of my friends and I were discussing the last scene. The best reason why I think Todd and his crew could miss Hank and Gomie is because they were worried about hitting WW also. He was in the back of the car and maybe they were trying to avoid a stray bullet from hitting him.
I can't agree that Todd's uncle is necessarily in control. Maybe after that episode...because well, they are going to tell Walt that they want him to cook.
That's why they ended up going to the location, because they figured they'd kill Jesse and then there was no way Walt was getting away from that promise.
I have a feeling one of Gomez or Hank dies, but I can see backup coming or something.
The title of the next episode is. "Ozymandius."
It a poem that describes a ruler who was a wicked guy, but he took care of his people. The essence of the poem is how all rulers and their empires whether big or small comes to an end.
We know WW doesn't die yet, but could this mean that Heisenberg's empire comes crashing down once and for all in the next episode?

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Unusual zookeeper's son Pi Patel sets sail for America. When the ship sinks, he escapes on a life boat with a dwindling number of animals, until only he and a hungry Bengal tiger remain.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Yann Martel's imaginative and unforgettable Life of Pi is a magical reading experience, an endless blue expanse of storytelling about adventure, survival, and ultimately, faith. The precocious son of a zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India, where he tries on various faiths for size, attracting "religions the way a dog attracts fleas." Planning a move to Canada, his father packs up the family and their menagerie and they hitch a ride on an enormous freighter. After a harrowing shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat with a wounded zebra, a spotted hyena, a seasick orangutan, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker ("His head was the size and color of the lifebuoy, with teeth"). It sounds like a colorful setup, but these wild beasts don't burst into song as if co-starring in an anthropomorphized Disney feature. After much gore and infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat's sole passengers, drifting for 227 days through shark-infested waters while fighting hunger, the elements, and an overactive imagination. In rich, hallucinatory passages, Pi recounts the harrowing journey as the days blur together, elegantly cataloging the endless passage of time and his struggles to survive: "It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I've made none the champion."
An award winner in Canada (and winner of the 2002 Man Booker Prize), Life of Pi, Yann Martel's second novel, should prove to be a breakout book in the U.S. At one point in his journey, Pi recounts, "My greatest wish--other than salvation--was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One that I could read again and again, with new eyes and fresh understanding each time." It's safe to say that the fabulous, fablelike Life of Pi is such a book. --Brad Thomas ParsonsFrom the Back Cover:
"Yann Martel's Life of Pi (Canongate) is another reminder of the largely unsung excellence of the Canongate list. The fiercely independent Scottish outfit remains an outpost of rare quality and distinction, and this exceptional understated novel is certainly a worthy addition to its output.... It would not be out of place on a Booker shortlist." -- From The Bookseller
"In the end, Life of Pi may not, as its teller promises, persuade readers to believe in God, but it makes a fine argument for the divinity of good art." -- Noel Rieder, The Gazette (Montreal)
"Martel's latest literary offering, Life of Pi, is an exquisitely crafted tale that could be described as a castaway adventure story cum allegory." -- The Gazette (Montreal)
" Life of Pi…is about many things — religion, zoology, fear — but most of all, it's about sheer tenacity. Martel has created a funny, wise and highliy original look at what it means to be human." -- Chatelaine
"In many ways , Life of Pi is a good old-fashioned boy's book full of survival, cannibalism, horror, math and zoology. An impressive marriage of The Jungle Book with Lord of the Flies, it's the harrowing coming of age tale of a boy who survives for over a year in a lifeboat with a zebra, an organgutan, an hyena and a Bengal tiger." -- The Montreal Mirror
"A good story can make you see, understand and believe, and Martel is a very good storyteller. Martel displays an impresive knowledge of language, history, religion and literature, and his writing is filled with details and insights." -- The Canadian Press
"[ Life of Pi] has a buoyant, exotic, insistence reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe's most Gothic fiction…Oddities abound and the storytelling is first-rate. Yann Martel has written a novel full of grisly reality, outlandish plot, inventive setting and thought-provoking questions about the value and purpose of fiction. This novel should float." -- The Edmonton Journal
"I guarantee that you will not be able to put this book down. It is a realistic, gripping story of survival at sea. On one level, the book is a suspenseful adventure story, a demonstration of how extreme need alters a man's character…. On another level, this is a profound meditation on the role of religion in human life and the nature of animals, wild and human. His language…is vivid and striking. His imagination if powerful, his range enormous, his capacity for persuasion almost limitless. I predict that Yann Martel will develop into one of Canada's great writers." -- The Hamilton Spectator
"[M]artel's writing is so original you might think he wants you to read as if, like a perfect snowflake, no other book had ever had this form…. In Pi one gleans that faith — one of the most ephemeral emotions, yet crucial whenever life is one the line — is rooted in the will to live. In any event, when Pi does come to the end of his journey, he has it." -- National Post
"[A]stounding and beautiful…The book is a pleasure not only for the subtleties of its philosophy but also for its ingenious and surprising story. Martel is a confident, heartfelt artist, and his imagination is cared for in a writing style that is both unmistakable and marvelously reserved. The ending of Life of Pi…is a show of such sophisticated genius that I could scarcely keep my eyes in my head as I read it." -- The Vancouver Sun
"A fabulous romp through an imagination by turns ecstatic, cunning, despairing and resilient, this novel is an impressive achievement -- "a story that will make you believe in God," as one character says.... This richly patterned work, Martel's second novel, won Canada's 2001 Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction . In it, Martel displays the clever voice and tremendous storytelling skills of an emerging master.
FYI: Booksellers would be wise to advise readers to browse through Martel's introductory note. His captivating honesty about the genesis of his story is almost worth the price of the book itself." -- Publisher's Weekly

No, I'm not Australian . . . at Forrester, "boomerangs" are analysts that, after leaving the research team for a stint in the "real world," have decided to re-join. Clients and fellow analysts value the experience we "boomerangs" have built as marketers and the pragmatic outlook we always bring to the table. As for me, I am a bit of an anomaly, as this is the second time that I am back at Forrester. My 20-year career as a marketer can be roughly split in two phases: first, the CPG marketing and strategy roles for brands like Ferrero, L'Oreal, and Johnson&Johnson; then, my digital marketing phase, which recently closed with more than four years at Google.
I would like to think that I am now entering a new phase by helping organizations understand the key role that marketing can play in shaping the way they navigate markets and customers that are constantly affected by the adoption of new technologies. Quite an ambitious scope, so to make sure that I stay relevant and deliver actionable research and advice, I have decided to launch this blog to start a dialogue with CMOs and Marketing Leaders on what's keeping them up at night and how we can help them.
Coverage areas and topics I'm interested in.
As I type this, I am in the process of writing research on the following areas (please note that links are to reports that are only accessible by clients):

This hairbrush is so awesome.... I didn't even know I could get excited about a hair brush. It invigorates and massages my scalp in the best way. I can tell it's making my hair grow more quickly, I promise I'm not crazy it totally is.. The boar bristle's distribute my hair oils from route to tip perfectly. My hair has never felt so healthy in my life, and about half of it has been bleached beyond what I ever thought could feel healthy.5
This brush is nice and helps to smooth out my naturally wavy hair as I blow dry it, however when I'm done it leaves my hair with a lot of static! I'm new to boar and tourmaline-infused nylon bristles so maybe that's common and will fade over time? I hope so because I've used this brush a couple times and I still end up with static.3

Great condo,
Highly recommended,
The owners were very helpful,
I have been visiting manila for over 6 years and have stayed in many condo's and hotels these condo's are the best value for money
You must try them
Thanks guys I am very impressed and will defiantly book again
We had a nice stay in this large one bedroom apartment. They were very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. The room was clean, furnishings well cared for, and the wifi, cable, air cons, hot water, in house laundry service, and ceiling fans were all in working order. The small details made by the home owner made the decor very pleasant. The home owner was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.
It's a great value and centrally located on Makati Ave. in a neighborhood that is transitioning with a mix of upscale new development with malls and nice restaurants, 24 hour restaurants and convenience stores, a mix of residential, locals who work in the businesses here, and tourists, the red light district (but clean actually, not scary, quite safe), latin restobar and salsa dancing, german techno club, etc. The neighborhood has a lot of character. I really loved it!
I need internet to do my work, and it was not a problem. I was very happy. I am also a night owl, so I really appreciated the 24 hour night life and food availability. There was always something to see and do here.
Cab ride is only P50+ ($1.25 USD) to the beautiful Greenbelt Malls, glorietta malls, SM malls, where you can shop upscale or cheap cheap, people watch in the many restaurants and cafes, or soak in the bustle and excitement.
But, please be careful if you are a foreigner, as that will attract some attention from massage or dancing girls, children begging, people trying to sell you stuff on the street, pickpocketers (be careful at ATMs & watch surroundings). In general people are really nice here, just exercise the same caution as in any large city.
We loved our stay with Guyon and will definitely stay again if we are in Makati!
Das Apartmenthaus liegt recht zentral in einem belebten Viertel der Makati Avenue und Nähe zum Nachtleben. Da es in der ersten Nacht Probleme gab wegen der Lautstärke und Starkregen aufgrund eines Taifuns, der durchs undichte Fenster pfiff, konnten wir ohne Aufpreis in das höherwertige Apartment 802 umziehen, das modern ausgestattet ist und wo wir eine sehr angenehme Woche verbracht haben. Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und stets hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns sogar eine kostenlose Stornierung angeboten, falls wir nicht zufrieden sind. Ich kann das Apartment dahr nur empfehlen.
This is the first timeI have stayed in an apartment rather than a hotel. This apartment is very good value for money. It is missing a few things like dishwashing liquid and a cloth to wash dishes which would be helpful and necessary for a short term stay. But, the hosts are very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. The apartment is clean, well furnished and quite spacious. Like I said it is good value for money and I would stay again.
All good! Thanks
i stayed here july/August 2014, don`t carry water ask Mr King he will get you a very big bottle cheap, aircon worked very good only need to use one of them, the pillows could be better as they fade away to nothing as you sleep, the internet needs inprovement dropouts were comon but Mr King could fix, good bed and staff, supamarket not far away, cooking things are supplied, but no oven, 4pm checkout was no problem this was great for me 8.20pm flight. Taxi 400 to 500php to termial 1, all in all this place was good enough for me to stay again
Very Nice place to be and very polide staff if somthing happend
Nice location near Greenbelt and center of bars in manila
Clean room. Nice firm bed and AC worked well as it wasn't hot
Near lots of restaurants and will prolly stay there if return to Phillipines
Was a great place to stay . The hosts was great to deal with and very aproachable . The area was fine , close to alls generally needed in makati . Heaps of bar girl s nearbye for the single minded!!! The only issue i had was a hard bed to deal with , otherwise a great place to stay within makati for 2 persons. Highly recomended
just back from a long vacation in Asia. Booked this unit last minute due to the hotel i was to stay in was not suitable to my standards. Sent an email while driving around in a taxi and was quickly sent a replied back from owner of my inquiry to the place, was giving address and contact info and was on my way in less then an hour. The unit was very clean and spacious, many amenity were provided (dishes,silverware, bath towels, TV, air-con, fridge). Building is nicely located close to all the night life in the area, but the noise from outside can't be heard from the room. King the host was very helpful, if i had any question he was very prompt in finding out the answer or personally directing me to a location. I certainly would seek residence in this condo-tel when in the area of Makati again.

What an ironic advertisement posted at the top of this thread.
Just think how much food we eat with high fructose corn syrup in it. Kind of scary isn't. The next generation will be a bunch of babbling idiots that wont be able to find there way home. Maybe this is what they want in Washington. Sorry I do not want to get into politics.
Fasinating study, recreated our experiances in scientific setting.
Larry Pender,Jubilee HoneyBee Company,Camarillo, CA
This study was extensively discussed on all the major bee forums and has the reputation of being one of the worst studies ever done. If you read the actual study you will see that it does not support the claims it makes.
Many beekeepers here and on other forums pointed out the numerous flaws. For a thorough review, see randy Oliver's comments at www.scientificbeekeeping.com.
Reading the actual study made me even more uncomfortable accepting third part reports as truth on any subject than I already was.
where on randy's site would i find info?
Larry Pender,Jubilee HoneyBee Company,Camarillo, CA
Just finished reading Randy Oliver's commentery on the study and would say this kind of leads us back to ground zero. Would love to see a debate between both parties. That would be an open debate with facts and not egos so the truth will begin to come into full light.
Second article under "Bee News" on right side of page...scroll down. Lots to read.
>What's more "scary" about eating high fructose corn syrup as compared to honey?
Well, first it has Bt toxin in it, which has not been in the human diet in large amounts before. Then it has neonics in it, which, once they bind to your neurons, they never let go, then we have a product that is not allowed in food in the rest of the world because they don't think it's fit for human consumption...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Too bad, because I would spend some time on there. I did get a kick out of his requirements for picking up nucs.
Thank you Michael. To you readers who are following this thread please read a little more on BT Toxins.
>Michael Bush did not provide evidence that high fructose corn syrup "has Bt toxin in it" and "has neonics in it."
The Bt toxin has been spliced into the genetic code of the corn and is in every cell of the plant. I know of no process that will remove it entirely. It is harmless to bees and they have a short life anyway, so who knows what "long term" effects there are. My concern is with humans who will live 80 years or more. No one knows the long term effects of that. As for neonics it's similar (but slightly different). It is not in the genes, but it does permeate the entire plant. Tell me how they refine that out? I don't believe they can. Again, my concern is not for the bees, but for the humans. Neonics bond to the neuron receptors and unlike the acetyl choline that usually bonds there and lets go, it remains and does not clear out, so it permanently disables that neuron...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
And you have evidence that Bt toxins are in HFCS? I don't use the product but I would like to see the evidence that there is Bt toxin in HFCS.
Alison Van Eenennaam, PhD Cooperative Extension Specialist, Animal Genomics and Biotechnology University of California, Davis:
"The National Academy of Sciences and other leading research institutions agree that GE foods present no unique risks, or greater risks, than non-GE foods. In fact, because GE foods are intensively tested for safety while most other foods are not, GE foods are probably safer than most foods on the market today."
Bruce Chassy, Professor of Food Microbiology and Nutritional Sciences University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign:
"Genetically-engineered foods are rigorously tested before marketing. These tests are designed to ensure there are no adverse effects on human health now or in the future. There is no credible scientific evidence that they cause allergies or that they would have any long-term health effects."
Wayne Parrott Professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences University of Georgia:
"GE sweet corn is every bit as safe as conventional sweet corn. It uses a protein that has been used in agriculture since 1937. Not only does it have a history of safe use, it has been extensively tested byHealthCanada, the European Food Safety Authority, the Korean FDA, Food Standards Australia & New Zealand, & the Japan Food Safety Commission, among others. All reports to the contrary do not hold up under close inspection."
I am sure someday we will look back and realize someone was right...and forget we were the ones that were wrong.
"Someday we will look back and realize someone was right...and conveniently forget we were the ones that were wrong."
>"Genetically-engineered foods are rigorously tested before marketing. These tests are designed to ensure there are no adverse effects on human health now or in the future. There is no credible scientific evidence that they cause allergies or that they would have any long-term health effects."
It is shear arrogance to think we can know the "long-term health effects" of something that has only been in the human diet in these amounts for the short term. You only find out "long term" effects after the "long term".

In a rebuke of Chevron remarkable for its swiftness, federal pipeline officials forbid the oil giant late Wednesday from restarting its troubled east-bench pipeline, saying it is unsafe for life, property and the environment.
They also warned that "other areas of this pipeline could experience" a leak similar to the Dec. 1 spill that belched 500 barrels of crude oil at Red Butte Garden. During the past six months, 1,300 barrels have leaked from the same pipeline 100 yards apart.
Wednesday's "Corrective Action Order" from the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) demands the pipeline remain out of service until Chevron meets short-and long-term safety regulations.
After a June 11-12 spill, it was five months before Chevron received a violation notice. This corrective action took a week.
"I appreciate the quick response of PHMSA," said Mayor Ralph Becker, fresh off a three-day trip to Washington to huddle with regulators. "The corrective order shows they understand and acknowledge our public-safety concerns."
Preliminary results from PHMSA's probe suggest Chevron left water in the pipeline from a four-hour pressure test done June 20 to check the repairs from the first leak (the line reopened June 21).
Following freezing and subfreezing temperatures in Salt Lake City and after a shutdown of the line Dec. 1 for routine maintenance just hours before the second leak, a six-inch valve at Red Butte failed, according to the compliance order.
"The preliminary findings indicate that the failure to remove all of the test fluid (water) used during the June 2010 hydrostatic pressure tests or to take appropriate action to ensure that any remaining water would not adversely affect the operation of the ... line may have caused or contributed to the December 2010 failure."
Chevron should have made sure all fluids had been removed from the valve after the test in accordance with manufacturers' specifications, the agency said. And antifreeze should have been injected to ensure any residual water did not affect the valve's operation. PHMSA also faulted the company's "failure to perform the required maintenance" after June's pressure test.
Chevron officials said they had not seen the order late Wednesday and declined to respond. "When we do get the letter, we'd like to have the appropriate amount of time to review it," company spokesman Mickey Driver said. "We want to be very thoughtful in how we respond."
The order was signed by Jeffrey D. Wiese, associate administrator for pipeline safety.
"Safety is the number one priority," Julia Valentine, spokeswoman for the pipeline safety office, said in a statement, "and this corrective order is an important tool in protecting the communities and environment around this pipeline."
Investigators saved "as-yet-unidentified fluid" in one of the valve's components when they removed the leaky valve near the entrance to Red Butte amphitheater on Saturday. The fluid was preserved and sent to a lab for further analysis.
The decision to keep the pipeline off was based on a review of records, a physical inspection and interviews with Chevron employees.
The order also chastises Chevron for the slow response to the latest spill, noting the pipeline is in proximity to buildings on the University of Utah campus and Red Butte Creek.
"Furthermore, Chevron did not identify the location of the current release for more than two hours," it reads, "despite the fact that the Red Butte vault is approximately eight miles from the Salt Lake City refinery and a prior failure had occurred in that area six months earlier."
City Councilwoman Jill Remington Love praised the federal agency. "I'm sure it probably helped that the mayor was in Washington, D.C., for the past three days," Love said. "This pipeline is too close to the stream corridor and people's backyards and fault lines. We need to take it seriously."
Becker wants even more intervention. He has called for a third party — in addition to Chevron and PHMSA — to sign off on the pipeline's safety before it is allowed to resume operations. City officials note the president of Chevron Pipeline Co. has agreed that an independent review is appropriate.
City leaders also believe they have PHMSA's assurance on that point. "Our understanding is they are supporting us in what we feel we need to do as a city to deal with it," Becker spokeswoman Lisa Harrison Smith said, "specifically a third-party investigation."
When asked about the third-party probe, Valentine, PHMSA's spokeswoman, said the agency would "work to ensure that the pipeline is not placed back into service until it is safe to do so."
"[PHMSA Administrator Cynthia Quarterman] told Mayor Becker that PHMSA will be happy to partner with Salt Lake City and other stakeholders to promote and ensure the pipeline's long-term safety," Valentine said in an e-mail.
Shortly after getting off a plane Wednesday, Becker said he "expects" the agency's support in keeping the pipeline closed "until our concerns regarding life, property and the environment are addressed."
The 182-mile pipeline runs from Rangely, Colo., to a Chevron refinery in northern Salt Lake City. Regulators called the 50-mile stretch from Park City to the refinery — abutting the watershed for 1 million Salt Lake Valley residents — a "high-consequence area."
The order calls for upgraded detection systems, a quick review of the leaky valve, thorough inspections and even daily patrols of the line.
"It's clear that a series of safety actions must occur prior to the agency allowing the company to reopen the pipeline," said U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, whose district was affected by the spill. "Given the alarming circumstance of oil pollution in this sensitive watershed area from two leaks within six months, I believe this is the right thing to do."
And "appropriate external leak detection" is needed within 60 days.
"Such systems," the PHMSA says, "must be capable of detecting leaks at the earliest practicable moment and of transmitting all necessary data to appropriate Chevron personnel."

Cool Idea, thanks for sharing
Yummy. These will be on my Christmas buffet this year, thank you so much.
Those sound so good!
Look good, plus a good way for portion control ....
This cake idea is looking great. I can feel its taste. This time i am feeling hunger so i think i should make this cup cake. Thanks for this idea. I am going to make it.
Wow these look delicious and easy! EASY being the operative word here!
I made these & took them to a Christmas Eve potluck with family. They were a hit though I think they need to set up for a few minutes before taking them out of the cupcake form as they started to fall apart. I also froze 2 dozen of them for later... they were great reheated too! Thanks :)
Thanks for this recipe! This will also help with portion control.
Hmm, I wonder what else would be good using wonton wrappers?
I made these this morning for an early lunch/brunch. They turned out delicious! Never used wontons before.
I did not use a muffin tin. I have pyrex bowls with the lids. Just took the lids off and sprayed the bowls with olive oil to keep from sticking. These are the 2 cup size bowls. I used canned turkey for the meat and low fat alfredo sauce and sliced olives. Layered like the instructions - wontons, sauce mixture, cheese X 2.
Baked in the oven for 30 minutes (instead of 35 like the instructions) and let sit while I fixed some vegies to go with it. My DH loved it - individual lasagna's! I can see different possibilities with this recipe. No more boiling pasta!

Hello everyone.
I will be new to bee keeping this year in Manitoba, Canada. I plan to start with 5-10 hives and hope to expand my operations as I become more familiar and comfortable with it. I recently visited the farm of Ian who posts regularly on this forum and was amazed by his operations and appreciative of his willingness to share his knowledge and experience with me as well as show me around his wintering operations. I hope to forge relationships with other bee keepers and apologize in advance for my inexperience and any questions that may arise from that inexperience.

According to the U.S. EPA, more than 2 million tons of unsolicited flyers, catalogs, phone books, and other marketing materials are tossed in U.S. landfills every year. Collecting and disposing of that much junk mail hurts the environment, and drains public works budgets.
A new Berkeley, Calif.-based organization frees up precious landfill space by preventing junk mail from ending up in homes in the first place. Catalog Choice lets people opt out of direct-mail pieces, retail catalogs, phone books, and other marketing materials that they don't want.
"We make it easy for consumers to manage how companies use their name and address for direct marketing," says Chuck Teller, executive director of Catalog Choice.
The program was born when a board member of the Overbrook Foundation — a group that funds projects supporting environmental and human rights causes — looked at her mailbox, stuffed with unsolicited mail, and wondered what could be done to stop the onslaught. After attaining funding from Overbrook, other philanthropic groups, and private donations, the mail preference service launched its mission to reduce junk-mail waste in 2007.
The grant-supported nonprofit works at no cost to citizens or municipalities. To initiate the program, municipalities simply sign up for the service; each participant is given a localized page on the Web site (www.catalogchoice.org). They then promote the service to citizens, who sign up on the site.
Municipalities receive detailed reporting on local participation by ZIP code, solid waste diversion, and environmental benefits. According to Teller, with an annual collection and landfill cost of unwanted mailings and phone books estimated at up to $10/ household, the cost savings for cities can be significant. Participating cities and counties include Chicago; Tompkins County (Ithaca), N.Y.; Marion County (Salem), Ore.; Kansas City; Seattle; and Berkeley.
The organization currently has 1.3 million consumers participating in the service, and it continues to grow both in scope and service (the group is adding telephone options and a smartphone application to its arsenal of tools). City officials view the service as a method to help ease the burden on budgets, and to meet solid waste reduction needs.
"We've identified waste reduction as a crucial strategy to meet the goals of our Chicago Climate Action Plan," says Suzanne Malec-McKenna, Chicago Department of Environment commissioner. "The Mail Preference Service will cut paper waste at the source, and offers an ease of use that we know citizens and businesses will appreciate."
In addition to benefiting consumers and cities, Teller says the 4,000 companies listed with Catalog Choice also profit from the service. It enables the firms to fine-tune their mailing lists, ensure marketing materials only go to interested parties, and cut wasted funds and materials consumed in creating promotional items that won't get noticed anyway.
"Our service is about consumer choice and efficiency," says Teller. "If a consumer doesn't want to get a phone book or direct mail, they have the right to make that choice. It's better for business to not deliver unwanted material to consumers.
"Phone book publishers will tell you that they don't want to deliver a phone book to someone who doesn't want one. This is a win-win service that enables both companies and communities to be more efficient and cut waste on all ends."

This Morning: Awaiting 'I/O', a BBRY Downgrade, As the AAPL Turns
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are down 6 cents at $15.19 after Pierre Ferragu of Bernstein Research cut his rating on the stock to Market Perform from Outperform, and cut his price target to $15 from $22, on a lack of "catalysts" for the stock, as the company's BlackBerry Live user event proceeds this week.
Shares of Google (GOOG) this morning are up $22, or 2.5%, at $909.10, ahead of the company's software development confab in San Francisco, Google I/O. CNBC's Sascha Segan this morning discussed a variety of rumors, including speculation the company will launch a streaming music service a la Pandora ℗, as well as updates to its mapping service, and discussion of the "Google Glass" interactive eyeglass that has been all the rage of late.
You can catch the Google live stream on its Web site starting at noon, Eastern.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $8.44, or 2%, at $435.42, perhaps not helped by a 13F filing this morning by hedge fund Tiger Management indicating it had disposed of its position of 42,000 shares during the first quarter.
Speaking of Apple, The New York TImes's Edward Wyatt and Nick Wingfield late yesterday wrote that the U.S. Department of Justice's suit against Apple for price fixing in the e-books market includes e-mail from late Apple founder Steve Jobs that show Apple urging partners such as News Corp. to force Amazon.com (AMZN) to raise prices. (This blog is published by Dow Jones, a division of News Corp.)
Speaking even further of Apple, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster this morning offers what he calls the first of a regular monthly report showing what the resale value is of the iPhone. He starts offers observations such as "although the price for the iPhone 5 is 46% higher than its competitor ([Samsung Electronics's (005930KS)] Galaxy S III), we note that it has held its value slightly better over the past ~8 weeks," which he takes as a leading indicator of consumers' expectation for a new iPhone.
CNBC's Carl Quintanilla hosted David Trainer of New Constructs, who thinks Apple stock is actually worth $240. Trainer bases that price on Apple's return on invested capital. The current stock price implies 124%, which is "unsustainable" for any company, he thinks. Trainer thinks unless the company introduces "something completely out of the future like the iPhone was," the company can't live up to that R&D expectation, and its ROIC is going to 50%. Trainer said he and his firm are neither long nor short the stock. Trainer first posted his write-up on his blog on Monday.
Speaking further still of Apple, Pacific Crest's Andy Hargreaves this morning writes that "We do not expect Apple to launch a 'low-cost' iPhone," instead opining that there will be an "iPhone 5S" come September, as the top of the portfolio, and a new model that will be "positioned in the middle of Apple's iPhone lineup, rather than at the bottom as a 'low-cost' device."
Citigroup's Walter Pritchard thomorning reiterates a Buy rating on shares of Microsoft (MSFT) and a $35 price target, writing that he expects the company to unveil the next Xbox on May 21st, at the E3 conference, as has been widely speculated. Writes Pritchard, "Similar to the PS4 event, we do not expect any pricing details, but we anticipate base model pricing to be $400."
"There have also been rumblings of a lower-priced ($100) web connected device similar to a Roku with access to the Xbox Live ecosystem, but we think Microsoft will give the new Xbox a year to shine before introducing a low-end box."

Best of: @PlayboyDotCom vs. Skylar Grey
We chat with the sexy up and comer Skylar Grey whose song C'mon Let Me Ride features rapper Eminem.
Playboy is known for its unconventional interviews, so was only natural to move some of our chats onto social media giving our readers a chance at the helm, asking the biggest stars of today the questions they've been itching to ask.
This Tuesday we got a chance to tweet with the gorgeous Skylar Grey, a name that is blowing up on the music scene as of late thanks to her latest song "C'mon Let Me Ride" that features Eminem. That's right: Skylar Grey got one of the biggest names in rap to collaborate on one of her songs. We're sure those short daisy dukes she wears in the music video were some help! It wasn't the first time Eminem had taken a liking to Sklyar's lyrics. Did you know that the mega hit "Love the Way You Lie" that Eminem and Rihanna teamed up to preform last summer was actually written by Skylar?
While the interview in its entirety will be posted on The Smoking Jacket later this week, we've rounded up our favorite parts of our Twitterview between our gorgeous Twitter girls & Miss. Grey.
On the music industry:
Playboy.com: You hated the music industry at one time, but now you're back. Has it changed you?
Skylar Grey: Currently the music industry is showering me with kisses.
On posing nude:
Skylar Grey: I've posed nude for the sake of art, not to give guys a hard on.
On lesbian experiences:
Skylar Grey: No I haven't, but I do have a girl crush on Shirley Manson (lead singer of Garbage)! HOT.

This year's Mid-Western Nationals held at the Kansas City International Speed Way September 19-21 turned out quite a wide variety of rods, customs, musclecars, and street rods. Goodguys car shows seem to always attract the finest cars, and this event was yet another perfect example of what the Mid-West has to offer. Having a chance to get out to a few of Goodguys shows this year, one fact kept popping up right in front of us. Like a breath of fresh air, we started noticing that more and more people are driving their cars to these events. We aren't talking about the cars that always get driven, we're talking about the high-end cars normally seen blowing down the freeway securely fastened to an equally expensive trailer. We hope this becomes a widespread trend. Anyway, here are a couple of shots from Kansas City to drool over, enjoy.

My thoughts on the 3rd spot
I think Wang or Miller should be in the conversation but probably will not be. I find them to have way more potential than some of the seniors that have been around longer. Miller performed to her music better than anyone at nationals, in my opinion. She had that Lipinski star quality.
I did find Gao impressive (artistic and decently consistent) and she's becoming a sentimental fave with all the 5th places. The year off from Harvard could be the difference.
I'm kind of over Agnes- she's had so many chances and not delivered on stages way smaller than the Olympics. Unless she can put down a clean long next year at Nationals and her GP, just no. I fear USFSA may not be on the same page.
Hicks- out of the top 10 at Nationals, she was by far the least pleasant to watch. Then her big jumps (which are her ticket) failied her at Junior Worlds. It pains me to think of watching her at the Olympics over Gao, Miller, Wang, Nagasu.
Siraj & Cesario- neither really shined at Junior Worlds. So probably not in the conversation.
Nagasu- USFSA seemed to send a harsh message that they were done with her and she no longer has the Frank factor. She will have to have the skate of her life at nationals and give them no reason whatsoever to question her jumps.
Czisny- I don't think she's coming back but maybe three spots changes that. We'll see. If she's clean at nationals, I could see judges really getting behind her or dumping her totally
Flatt-No comment. I wish her well at Stanford and am genuinely glad she seems so happy there.
My dream team- Ashley, Gracie, Hannah
My more realistic team which would also be great- Ashley, Gracie, Christina

Best Practices for Password Policy
Wasn't sure if this belonged in the regulatory and compliance section as it is more geared to best practices.
I'm looking for information to support our current password policy. Specifically best practices on local administrator accounts, service accounts, etc. Practical stuff on expiration dates, the sharing of, archiving old expired passwords or anything along those lines.
Does anyone have suggestions or links they can recommend? I can provide more info if you need it.

Monadic regions
From HaskellWiki
(jhc also uses Region Inference)
|Line 18:
|Line 18:
Revision as of 20:53, 30 June 2007
"We offer a typeclass-based implementation of Monadic Regions. Region is a memory allocation technique introduced by Tofte and Talpin and implemented in ML-Kit and Cyclone. A region is an area of memory holding heap allocated data (reference cells). Regions may nest and so more than one region may be active at any given point. A new reference cell may only be allocated in an active region, and may then only be used while that region is active. The system statically guarantees that no cell can be accessed when its region is closed. Therefore, all cells in a region can be immediately garbage collected when the region is closed."
"The code gives the first example of the total type comparison predicate, which can handle even non-ground types and quantified type variables."
Note: afaik, jhc Haskell compiler uses memory regions as its sole memory allocation technique. To be exact, the following is said in docs: "No garbage collector. A variant of Region Inference is in the works."

E3, LOS ANGELES ⎯ May 18, 2005— Capcom® plans to turn the fighting genre upside down with the announcement of Final Fight: Streetwise™ for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft®. Set within Capcom's Final Fight universe, this mission-based action game calls for players to use their street smarts and powerful fighting skills to survive the back alleys of Metro City. Classic Capcom fighting action, expansive 3D environments, and diverse gameplay await those when Final Fight: Streetwise is released throughout North America this winter.
"Capcom has always had the reputation of being one of the most innovative and talented game makers in the video game industry," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing, Capcom Entertainment. "Final Fight: Streetwise exemplifies our ability to create a gritty, cutting-edge experience in true Capcom style."
'Your fists are the only thing you can really rely on in this world' are the words uttered by Kyle and Cody Travers. Gaining respect is the only way to survive the streets of Metro City. The Travers brothers have spent years building an indisputable reputation amongst the local gangs and street thugs. No one ever dares to challenge them until a seedy organization kidnaps Cody. In the feverish attempt to rescue his brother, Kyle meets head-on with the forces of a sinister underground boss whose powerful influence has thrown the various districts of Metro City into utter chaos. Now the metropolis is in a riotous turmoil as a mysterious street drug spreads across the city. What's happened to Cody and is he still alive? Can all this anarchy be stopped?
In Final Fight Streetwise, players assume the role of Kyle Travers. As a streetwise underground pit fighter and brother of the infamous Cody from the classic Final Fight series, Kyle must try to solve his brother's disappearance. A major element to the game is quickly building 'respect.' Earning this sought-after characteristic gives gamers a means to attain powerful new fighting skills, hardcore weapons, critical information and a wide variety of NPC (non-playable character) support; vital for completing various objectives. Featuring stylized and realistic visuals, the tumultuous energy of Metro City is brought to life with great detail. Explore dynamic environments and encounter intense street fights where players use hand-to-hand and weapon combat. Shocking story twists and disturbing connections are made as this epic story unfolds through adrenaline-pumping action and intense cinematics.
Final Fight: Streetwise includes the following features:
• Storyline based on Capcom's Final Fight universe – Encounter new and familiar Final Fight characters who will assist Kyle throughout the game
• Evolving game system – "Respect" is a key stat that is adjusted throughout the game. The player's respect level will define his or her interaction with the enemies and bystanders they encounter. Some of the ways to earn respect include defeating enemies, winning pit-fights, completing side missions, and mini-games.
Building respect requires two components: Tension – Affects one's fighting ability. Increasing the 'tension' level unlocks more powerful attack moves. The amount of tension the player builds is based on how intensely they fight. The better the performance, the greater the reward. Money – Affects what helpful items and services that can be purchased, including weapons, information, hiring allies, etc.
• Intensified fighting – Partake in the raw intensity of fighting on and off the streets. Final Fight: Streetwise offers balanced action between various methods of combat:
Hand-to-hand and super combos– Execute primary close-range attacks and deliver devastating combos, such as nose-shattering punches and excruciating knees to the groin.
Hand-to-hand and weapons – Damage enemies at close range with hand-to-hand combat and finish them off with weapons, including pool cues, 2x4's, steel pipes, knives, grenades, shotguns and machine guns.
Instinct Mode – Increase your attack speed and accuracy when activating this mode. It creates an opportunity to trigger a lethal combination of hand-to-hand and weapon actions.
Counter-Time Mode – Show off Kyle's ultra-fast reflexes for counter-attacking by slowing down time with special parry maneuvers, activated during Instinct Mode.
• Diverse NPC interactions – Interact with NPCs in order to obtain information, buy/sell items, or hire them as allies.
• Dynamic Environments - Missions will offer a non-linear free roaming experience, giving the player the opportunity to freely explore their surroundings for clues, key characters, etc., as well rewarding side missions. Revisit locations and see the dramatic transformation of the city as it is torn apart by escalating chaos.
• Realistic and Stylish visuals – The grittiness of Metro City is brought to life in incredible detail.
• Dolby Sound Pro Logic II – Final Fight: Streetwise will include a system that will enhance the various licensed music tracks and realistic fighting sounds heard throughout the game.

Why are some discoveries welcomed, whereas others are received with skepticism? I am prompted to ask this by recent developments in paleoanthropology. On the face of things, the story is an old one: International team finds startling new fossil human, oldest of its type in the region; experts agog. The catch is that the new find now being hailed merely echoes an earlier one in the same place, by many of the same researchers—but the early find was received with a "wait and see" attitude, if not outright disbelief. What makes the difference?
The original find, in 1991, was a primitive human mandible or jaw found at the then newly discovered fossil site of Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. A joint German-Georgian team of scientists and students excavated there for some months, recovering beautiful fossils of extinct species like saber-toothed cats, elephants and rhinos, along with some crude stone tools. On the last day—similar episodes are so common that the Last Day Find is practically a cliché—Antje Justus, a German graduate student, freed a partial skeleton of a saber-toothed cat from the sediments in her area of the dig. Lying directly underneath the extinct cat was the fossilized jaw of a primitive human, with a complete set of teeth. This was the find everyone had been hoping for all summer long.
In that moment, Dmanisi was transformed from being an interesting site to being one of major significance for human origins. Although the jaw itself could not be dated directly (as is often the case), its inferred age was impressive. The most recent record of the extinct animals found at Dmanisi turned out to be about 1.2 million years ago, while the fresh-looking lava that lay underneath the fossil-bearing sediments was estimated to be about 1.8 million years old, according to preliminary radiometric dating. That meant that the owner of the Dmanisi mandible lived in the interval between 1.2 and 1.8 million years ago, making it the earliest evidence of Homo erectus from the Eurasian continent by a significant margin.
The first I heard of the find was in December of 1991, when Justus, paleontologist Leo Gabunia of the Republic of Georgia National Academy of Sciences, and dig director David Lordkipanidze of the Georgia State Museum traveled to a conference on Homo erectus at the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. Gabunia and Justus gave a joint presentation briefly describing the site, the fauna, the tools, the jaw and the preliminary dates. They generously brought the original fossil with them, so that colleagues could examine it firsthand during the workshop portion of the conference.
I knew most of the conference participants, but Gabunia, Justus and Lordkipanidze seemed to have come out of nowhere, speaking of a site I couldn't find without an atlas. Gabunia is a quiet, silver-haired man who spoke in French so clear that even I understood the jaw's anatomy. Justus put the find in context, speaking in articulate English and looking even younger than she was. Lordkipanidze fell somewhere in the middle in terms of age and personality; his English was excellent, his enthusiasm palpable, and he was obviously knowledgeable. If they were even half right in what they were saying, this was a very important new find indeed.

By Adam Clark
Arsenal youngster Anthony Stokes is getting used to the attention.
The Dublin-born striker went into Tuesday's CIS Cup Quarter-Final against Celtic on the back of nine goals in four games and with Scottish newspapers singing his praises from their back pages.
Stokes' extra-time equaliser and a penalty-shootout victory at Parkhead ensured he, and Falkirk, hit the headlines once more on Wednesday morning. Arsenal.com caught up with the in-form Irishman to find out about life in Scotland, his prolific form and what lies ahead.
How did it feel to score the goal that ultimately led to Falkirk's victory on Tuesday?
"It was such a great feeling to score. Being a boyhood Celtic fan the feeling was just amazing, especially to score so soon after they had. I think that gave us the belief to go on and win. It was an unbelievable feeling beating Celtic in their own back yard and it's great to be in the Semi-Finals. I thought as a team we worked hard and stuck together. We played well at home against them [earlier in the season when Falkirk lost 1-0] but last night we got on top and created the better-crafted chances. I'm always happy when I score but the most important thing is the result. Overall I think we deserved the win even if some might say we rode our luck at times."
Your scoring record is fantastic. Can it continue?
"Every time I go out I'm just trying to score goals. I've scored against the lower teams, the mid-table teams, and now Celtic. I'm not getting carried away but I would love to keep up a ratio of a goal a game. I'm a little bit up at the moment I think and if I do it I'll be really happy."
How did you end up on loan north of the border?
"I think there were one or two Championship clubs interested but Falkirk have a good relationship with Arsenal and [Head of Youth Development] Liam Brady and I took all that into consideration and decided to come here. The boss here [John Hughes] said he'd give me a chance in the first team and for that reason I thought it would be a good move. I just want to be playing first-team football which will help me improve as a player."
How have things gone so far?
"When I first came up we had a few bad results but recently the team has been playing well and I've been scoring a few goals. I'm delighted I've scored as many as I have. The way we're going at the moment is fantastic and I'm glad to be part of it. It's not all down to me though. It's down to the whole team, the midfield and my two strike partners. I'm just getting in good positions and they're making the chances for me."
Are you surprised at how quickly you've adapted to the SPL?
"In my first few games I found it tough but after that I settled quickly. The way they play here is to play on the ground and not hit and chase the ball. Arsenal are probably the best footballing team in the world and John Hughes has an idea of how he wants us to play and it's similar to the way I was brought up to play at Arsenal. There's probably no team in Scotland that plays football like Falkirk do."
Have former Arsenal players Patrick Cregg and Stephen O'Donnell helped you settle in?
"They've been brilliant. I was good friends with them at Arsenal so they've been great to have around. There's a great spirit here and a good bunch of lads so it's been no hassle settling in. I think that's helped my football too because I'm happy up here and enjoying my time."
You won the SPL's Young Player of the Month for October. Well done...
"I was delighted to win it. It's such a great honour and I just hope I can keep the form up and keep scoring goals."
The level of expectancy must be rising. How are you coping under the spotlight?
"The weight of expectation hasn't been too bad. Obviously there's been a lot of press and lots of interviews but only at games. If I'm not playing or training it's fine because I live in a small town on the outskirts where I'm on my own and there's no pressure."
What are the main things you hope to learn from playing in Scotland?
"Throughout my career my position has swapped around [he often played in midfield for Arsenal Reserves] but I've always wanted to test myself as an out-and-out striker. If I play up front I can score goals and I think I've proven that up here. I know I can still improve on every aspect of my game and if I get as much experience up here as I can up hopefully that will happen."
Finally Anthony, where do you go from here?
"I'm an Arsenal player so my main aspiration is to get
into the Arsenal first team. At the end of the day, if that
doesn't happen I'll have to look elsewhere. I think I could
cut it in the Premiership but I need somewhere to show what I can
do. At the moment I'm just getting on with my football."

Thank you Scott! that is helpful. Tom, A couple of resources to take look at: 1. Wooldrige (Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data) section 17.7 discusses sample selection in panel models. 2. At the combined Dutch and German Stata users meeting 2002, Sophia Rabe-Hesketh (email@example.com )presented "Multilevel selection models using GLLAMM" The slides of the presentation are available at: http://www.stata.com/support/meeting/2dutch/abstracts.html "Abstract Models for handling sample selection or informative missingness have been developed for both cross-sectional and longitudinal or panel data. For cross-sectional data, Heckman (1979) suggested a joint model for the response and sample selection processes where the disturbances of the processes are correlated. For longitudinal data, Hausman and Wise (1979) and Diggle and Kenward (1994) developed a model in which the continuous response (observed or unobserved), and possibly the lagged response, is a predictor of attrition or dropout. The Heckman model can be estimated using the heckman command in Stata and the Diggle-Kenward model is available in the Oswald package running in S-PLUS. Both models can also be estimated using gllamm with the advantage that the following three generalisations are possible. First, the models can be extended to multilevel settings where there may be unobserved heterogeneity between the clusters at the different levels in both the substantive and selection processes and where selection may operate at several levels. Second, the Heckman model can be modified for nonnormal response processes. Third, both the Heckman and Diggle-Kenward models can be extended to situations where the substantive response is a latent variable measured by a number of indicators. I will show how the standard Heckman and Diggle-Kenward models are estimated in gllamm and give a examples of all three types of generalisation of these standard models. The research was carried out jointly with Anders Skrondal and Andrew Pickles.

Usage of biomass is a sustainable and environmentally friendly method to produce electric energy and heat, reducіng rеliance on fоsѕil fuеls and greenhouse gas emissions. Although bioenergy is up, progress in achievіng the EU саrbοn dioxide targets is rаther sluggish. Therefоre joint efforts to demοnstratе a revоlutionarу idеa for effiсient bioenergy mаnυfacturing are necсessary.
The concept relies on integrating biomass pyrolysis and gasification processes to deliver power and heat. Through pyrolysis, researchers are transforming a feedstock that can be a low- or negative-value waste into biochar that is then divided as a valuable product. The combination of condensable vapours and gases released by pyrolysis are introduced to a fluidised bed to transform a 2nd feedstock to a gasoline. The by-product gaseѕ from the gаsificatiοn prοceѕѕ of the feеdstock, which is higher-quality biоmass such as wood, are powеring inner cоmbustion engines to produce роwer and hеat. Therefоre far, experts hаve actually charаcterised a number оf feedstocks sυсh aѕ wood, miѕcanthus, beef and bοne mеal, brewers' ѕpent grаin, sewage ѕludge and deinking sludge.

The crossbow states does fire without an arrow but when the hunt is over and you havent shot a deer how are you suppose to decock the bow without dry firing it???? Probably a stupid question but didn't see any deer.

I'm starting this thread to try to get more people familiar with stormrider's sellbuddy software. It's easy to set up and use, I am currently using it for my FPH2 light kits. The software keeps track of current inventory, shipping information, and generates automatically a Paypal invoice for the buyer. There are a few videos on YouTube on how it works, and whether you are an established seller or a new one, sellbuddy can make it a lot easier.
i highly recommend checking out the videos and giving sellbuddy a try. It works and it helps out a fellow TDH member (SR wrote the software and spent a lot of time, energy, and money to get it off the ground).

A random act of designess, or RADness for short, is when you surf the web, find a good cause that needs some help with it's identity, or promotional material (or anything else design related). Some appropriate design work that you believe will benefit the cause is done and together with an explanation, it is sent to them. A completely unsolicited way of helping a good cause just because you felt like it.
Hey, at the weekend I designed a funky new poster for that environmental group I came across on the web. I just really felt their cause was great but their promotional material wasn't. That's my first ever random act of designess (RADness), I wonder who I'll pick to do my next one for?!

What u think he's gonna dominate everybody? Those guys get paid too.
What u think he's gonna dominate everybody? Those guys get paid too.
The win today was good, but let's see what they do against a top quality team next week. JP is the focal point every week, which is why there is serious reason for concern regarding the pass rush. The others cannot beat single blocking. Simply Atrocious. Next week we will see what a tenacious defense should look like in SF.
JPP is not in a slump. He's sack numbers are down, but he's been in the back field all season.
Dont get down - he is one of the best ends in the game - with osi and tuck struggling to beat one on ones JPP is seeing chips like crazy - he is still batting down passes and making tackles. Guys a beast. He also saw the tackle spot a few times where you are definitely gonna get doubled.
This is what it is, the defense learned this: contain JPP, since Tuck sucks and Osi cant break past a T anymore. Then not having Canty here as well doesnt help. We need to bench Tuck and Osi and make them earn a starting spot again.
JPP has me worried about -90%. The guy leaves everything on the field and i have seen nothing that makes me doubt his production. The entire blocking scheme of an offense is designed to eliminate him. I am nowhere near worried. If anything, I'm excited about him.
JPP is the least of the problems on the DLine. He's constantly being double teamed and STILL putting pressure on the QB and making plays.
It's up to Fewell and the rest of the defense coaches to breakdown tapes and see what adjustments need to be made.
i think a lot more is happening with JPP than we see. hes being held chipped and put on his back! he'll figure a way to beat all that.
If the other guys (Osi and Tuck) can't step up, they'll just continue targeting JPP all game long. Eventually, he's gonna start burning himself out........
