Hair Removal and Smooth Skin
Aside from the benefits of skin rejuvenation, Intense Pulsed Light (or IPL) therapy is also used for permanent hair reduction. IPL for hair removal has been rising in popularity in recent years, and with a wide variety of devices that have been made available now, IPL hair removal treatment are no longer the domain of dermatologists and doctors. Today, you can get IPL hair removal treatments even ay day spas, and at a med spa you can have this treatment at a relatively low price.
Using IPL for hair removal would involve either utilizing a flash of light that has hundreds of wavelengths. The light will be targeted towards the melanin inside the hair follicles, heating it up and damaging the follicles and prohibiting the regrowth of hair. IPL hair removal has some limitations, however. Those who have gray or white hairs may not have as much response as those whose hair has color, and effects may differ depending of the hair and skin color.
Although it is rising in popularity, it should be understood that IPL hair removal is not for everybody. Dr. Shib's website informs patients that before getting the treatment, they should first consult with their doctors or dermatologist whether they are a good candidate or not. They should also be sought first to check your skin type and hair color. Past medical history should also be considered, and present medications that you might be taking can be a cause for complications following an IPL hair removal treatment.
In order to get the safest and best results, make sure you ask questions first and research about medical spa options. Ask about the qualifications and the training that the clinic staff has, and know who is going to perform the treatment on you. Make sure that the Auburn med spa or clinic that you choose have the necessary license with medically-trained staff, with a doctor or dermatologist who oversees that procedures. If you are doubtful about a clinic or med spa or don't seem to see results after a couple of sessions, it would be best to just walk away and find another clinic that 3ould provide you with results.
Avoiding a Guilty Verdict from Cocaine-related Crimes
All crimes related to drugs are serious offenses in the United States. Those charged with drug crimes are threatened by lengthy jail terms and huge fines. Equally hurting are the consequences of a criminal charge. For not only can it ruin one's career; it can also entail lots of limits and inconveniences in one's life, including difficulty in finding a decent place to live in, international travel restrictions, difficulty in obtaining professional licenses and unfavorable effects on custody and visitation rights.
Acts related to a drug crime include manufacture, selling, distribution, possession or use of prohibited drugs and drug-related equipment. One kind of drug that has been illegalized in the US is cocaine; the second most commonly used drug in the US (after marijuana or cannabis) and a Schedule II drug according to the US Controlled Substances Act (or CSA, which is the second title of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970) because of the high tendency for its addictive use. In very rare cases, however, cocaine has been administered to individuals for medical purposes.
For many young adults, cocaine is more known as a party drug, due to its tendency to keep them awake and active throughout the night. To professionals, it carries a reputation as "a rich man's drug," as those who usually use it are members of the middle and upper classes.
The punishment imposed on individuals involved in anything related to cocaine is harsh; it becomes even harsher if the amount of the illegal drug increases and still worse if there is a case of injury or death connected. Thousands of dollars plus imprisonment can be imposed on individuals in possession of small amounts of cocaine. Possession of more than 500 grams can result to 5 – 40 years behind bars; if traces of death or serious injury will lead to the crime, a $2 million-fine and a jail term of 20 years to life may await a convicted individual.
Any drug crime, but more especially one that is cocaine- related, is a major offense. On its website, the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter rightly says that drug crimes require a tough and experience criminal defense attorney, who knows what it takes to win a case. But not all criminal defense lawyers have the same extent of court experience, level of determination and dedication in defending clients. Entrusting a case to one who lacks the above factors may just cause a defendant his or her bright future; thus, it is absolutely necessary that an accused finds only the best lawyer for his or her defense.
Unfortunately, sometimes good people make mistakes. If you have been charged with a drug crime and are suffering the consequences, you might consider expunction. An expunction will help clear your criminal record. Contact an expunction attorney today for more information.
Motorcycle Accidents – Usually Due to Negligence of Other Drivers
If you're living in a rural area, where vehicles are fewer, traffic is light and drivers seem to be more friendly and relaxed, riding your motorbike wherever you intend to go is much safer compared to the city. Despite driving along dirt roads, statistics show that there are far lesser motorcycle accidents in rural places than in suburban towns.
Motorcycles are fun to ride, besides the fact that it can take you faster to your destination. In cities, however, the safety of riders is often compromised due to traffic congestion and the fact that many motorists fail to recognize riders' right of way. And whenever a rider figures in an accident, his/her injuries are most often severe due to the lack of protection, aside from the helmet, that ought to protect his/her body from impact.
Though it is true that many motorcycle accidents involve drunk riders, who drive straight to still objects, like a telephone pole or a concrete structure, there are more that occur due to multiple-vehicle collisions (motorcycle plus another motor vehicle), based on a research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
In fact, from the average 3, 500 motorcycle accidents reported annually in the US, more than half are multiple-vehicle accidents, with impingement on motorcyclist's right of way being the major cause. Collisions usually occur at intersections, where other motorists make a sudden turn, or along major roads, where some drivers make sudden lane changes, without first checking for possible approaching motorcycles. Thus, in the event of an accident, it is the rider who usually is the only one hurt, sustaining injuries that increase in severity based on the size of the other vehicle and the speed of both (motorcycle and the other vehicle).
Surprisingly, research also shows that majority of motorcycle accidents happen during short trips – to a convenient store or shopping mall or to a friend's house – and quite immediately after leaving the place of origin. Also, many of those who get involved in accidents are those who tried to learn to ride personally or who were taught by kin or friends, never receiving formal training from any accredited riding school.
Being able to prove that the accident occurred due to the negligence or carelessness of the other motorist gives the rider the legal right to pursue justice and receive compensation from the liable party. The injury sustained in the accident, termed as personal injury, can cause the rider (victim) financial burden rising from medical treatment and possible loss of wages if the injury causes him/her to miss work for days.
Personal injury cases are complex and oftentimes stressful for the victim and his or her family; thus, seeking the services of a really knowledgeable, experienced and determined lawyer who will make sure that your rights are protected through the whole legal proceedings is essential. Having such a lawyer is necessary even when the liable party offers to settle out of court – to make sure that the victim is given the amount of compensation that he/she really deserves, considering present and future medical treatment and amount of wages lost.
Freight Factoring – A Boon for Trucking Firms
For trucking firm owners, attending to matters that involve volumes of paperwork and documents required for business application/operation by both the federal and local (state) government licensing agencies and other regulating groups, is highly necessary; they also believe, however, that this consumes so much time, taking their minds away from running their business.
Another factor that greatly affects trucking operations is the delay in payments from brokers and shippers. Often, owners and operators allot 30-60 days waiting period for payment of freight bills – a possible threat to a trucking business' cash flow, especially if the firm is new in the business arena.
In 2004 the Truckers Bookkeeping Service (TBS) was formed with the intent of providing easy, flexible cash flow solutions for trucking firms. This cash flow is coursed through freight bill factoring, a type of financing assistance for brokerages and freight carriers suffering from cash flow problems due to the slow or delayed payments from shippers and other clients. TBS knows how important cash is, especially for new and developing trucking firms. It is the source of overhead costs, payroll, improvements, taxes and other necessary expenses. Thus, by fueling cash flow, owners and operators can focus more on running business operations effectively.
Though factoring may be a perfect source of financial assistance, truckers should understand that the cash solutions it offers are not loans but (discounted) payments to the invoices or receivables truckers are willing to sell. Once a trucking firm sells its invoices, it can do whatever it wants with the cash payment received from TBS; meanwhile, TBS will be the one worrying and waiting for the slow and delayed payments from shippers and clients.
Truck factoring may be availed through two different programs, Recourse Factoring and Non-recourse Factoring. Recourse factoring involves an agreement, between the factor and the trucking firm, which states that the trucking company will have to buy back the invoices from the factor if such invoices still remain unpaid after a predetermined period, which could be between 60 and 120 days.
In Non-recourse factoring, all the risk (of non-payment by the client) will be placed on the factor that intends to buy the trucking firm's invoices. Due to the risk faced by the factoring firm, however, the amount it will offer truckers for the invoices will be lower than what it would offer in the recourse agreement.
Defective Car or Car Part/s – A Manufacturer's Negligence
The construction of bridges to connect one city to another and the continuous improvement of roads and highways have made travelling by car just more convenient than ever. Car manufacturers, not intending to be left behind by all the improvements going on in the transport system, have also embarked on the production of not only better looking cars, but cars that are equipped with the latest technological features that will help ensure road safety to significantly reduce the number of road accidents.
The greater challenge, however, rests on the government in advocating programs, enforcing road traffic laws and implementing manufacturing standards that will keep accidents to a minimum total annually. Thus, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), still alarmed with the more than 35,000 fatal car crashes every year, has embarked on a stricter campaign against reckless drivers, speedsters and, most especially, drunk drivers.
Any type of car accident is always a threat. It always results to property damage, (minor of severe) injuries or, worse, death. And, based on studies conducted by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the NHTSA, drivers who are most prone to accidents are those aged between 15 and 24.
Though majority of car crashes are due to driver's fault, there are still occasions when the cause is beyond a driver's control, such as defective car parts, to which a car manufacturer can be held totally liable. Any defect in a car can definitely lead to an accident. Thus, there have been instances when a manufacturer would even recall a certain car model, due to defective parts, even if such recall would prove to be too costly: life is definitely more valuable than property, anyway.
On its website, Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, believes that, in the case of car defects, a manufacturer should employ means that will rectify the mistake committed, even if it means making a recall. The fact is, defective cars are results of negligence or carelessness, which may involve a failure to do something which is part of the manufacturing process, or doing/adding something that should not have been done/added. Negligence requires the manufacturer to compensate anyone who may suffer from any harm that is a consequence of a defective car or car part.

An Employee's Rights to Workers' Compensation
In the US, every employee is entitled to compensation in the event of a work-related injury or an illness resulting from exposure to hazardous chemicals. This employee right is stipulated in the Workers' Compensation Law which was approved by the U.S. Congress in 1908.
The law was initially intended to address the rise in the number of workplace injuries, especially in construction sites. Its main aim was to provide injured workers (or workers who developed work-related illnesses) with immediate financial assistance they will need for medical treatment, as well as cover their economic losses due to days of work missed.
Workers' compensation is actually a form of an insurance benefit. It is never dependent on the financial capability of an employer as the source of compensation is an insurance provider. One condition for recipients of this benefit, though, is that they will have to release their employers from any legal liability for their injury or sickness.
Before the workers' compensation was passed into law, injured workers had to file a lawsuit against their employers to be able to receive the compensation they badly needed. Lawsuits, however, only damaged whatever good relationship existed between the employee and employer; these were also almost always won by employers, who used the following arguments:
- Assumption of Risk – which means that the possibility of injury had always been accepted due to the danger associated with the job
- The Fellow Worker Rule – employers always sought exemption from liability by stating that the injury was actually caused by a fellow employee
- Contributory Negligence – an argument that states that the cause of the injury was the injured worker himself/herself.
In an article posted on their website, the workers compensation lawyers of the LaMarca Law Group, PC, based in Des Moines, IA, states that every worker deserves compensation, whether from the Workers' Compensation Insurance benefit or Social Security disability benefit (SSDI) for any work-related injury they sustain or illness they develop. They also need all the support and assistance possible, as the requirements necessary for the availment of benefits are long and complex.
Division of Properties and Assets during Divorce
Ending a marriage through divorce can be an emotionally-draining experience for anyone, more so when it comes to deciding about divorce-related issues, such as alimony, division of properties and assets, child custody, child support and visitation rights. If the divorcing spouses fail to arrive at an agreement amicably, then the issues will need to be settled in court, in front of spectators, and determined by a judge; a court decision is always final and executor. Over the course of time, however, a decision made, say about alimony, may be petitioned for changes if there will also be changes in the circumstances of the former spouses.
To some, divorce causes fears and doubts, especially for the financially dependent spouse, who may have given up professional opportunities for the sake of his/her partner and family, as a whole. Because of divorce, lifestyle may change and the profession that one has walked away from will now need to be embraced once again, so as to be able to afford a decent living, as well as pay child support if required. For more information about child support and how to initiate the process, a Raleigh child support lawyer may be able to talk to you about your case.
The division of properties and assets in a divorce is often a hotly contested issue the process. Getting as much cash or as many properties as one can, is naturally the interest of many individuals since the more financially stable one is, the lesser worry for him/her regarding economic matters, at least in the immediate future after separation.
Before a judge can start dividing properties and assets, however, he/she will first need to determine which part of the wealth is marital and which is not. Non-marital properties and assets refer to anything that any of the spouses has owned even before the time of marriage. As such, these are exempt from being divided. Any earnings after marriage, even those resulting from non-marital wealth, though, are up for division. Now, when it comes to actual earnings, many husbands and wives in the past, especially the very wealthy ones, have been known to employ means that would keep their partners from knowing how much they really have, rationalizing that they are the only ones who have the right to enjoy what they worked so hard for.
In a number of US states properties and assets are equally divided between each spouse. Fairness and reasonableness, however, is the rule of the thumb in many other states. This means of division is based by a family court judge on the following factors:
- Length the marriage
- Income and property that each of the spouses has contributed into the marriage
- Age and health of each spouse
- Standard of living during the time of marriage
- Earning opportunities and income of each spouse
- Needs of the custodial parent for the child/children (if there are any)
Since the process of division is always complex, having an attorney who is well versed in family law and who is capable of making a tough defense for a spouse's rights and interests is often necessary. The outcome of many court decisions often depends too on how well an attorney can convince a judge about his/her client's needs. Making sure that one hires the right attorney should, therefore, be a concern in the event of divorce.
Negligence Resulting in Head Injury
A catastrophic accident, one that can result to life-changing injuries, such as severe burns, head, brain or spinal injury, always entails expensive specialist care and, days (or weeks) off from work plus rehabilitation period, which also mean loss of income – a clear cause of financial burden for the family. To a few others, who sustain a serious, disabling injury, it would mean the end of their professional career.
A head or brain injury, in particular, may refer to cranial nerve damage, hemorrhages or neuronal injuries; it is usually caused by gunshots, physical assault, falls or motor vehicle accidents which create a forceful blow to the head. In the US, about 1.7 million individuals sustain severe head injuries each year, with more than 50,000 resulting to victims' death.
Some head injuries are categorized as open or penetrating, which means that the skull has been cracked, resulting to direct contact (and damage) to the brain. Open head injuries, like open wounds, lead to bleeding and can cause a person to lose consciousness, suffer from a severe headache, vomit, etc. The effects of a closed head injury, however, can only be known later in life; it can, likewise, result to a severe illness, like Alzheimer's disease.
A damage inflicted to the head may be classified as personal injury, an injury brought about by an accident resulting from someone else's carelessness or negligence. On their website, the WK Law Firm, speaks of the frustrating consequences a personal injury can cause the victim and his/her family. Besides the emotional distress and physical suffering, victims are also prone to financial losses.
Victims, however, have the legal right to file a personal injury lawsuit and receive compensation from the liable party for the financial damages and losses he/she is experiencing and will be subjected to. Having a tough and determined attorney to fight for your right and interests would be a big help in winning your case.

The Childhood Of Jesus by J.M. Coetzee
(Text $45)
A man arrives at some sort of immigration centre, in a Spanish-speaking land.
With him is a 5-year-old boy he met on a ship, then looked after for weeks in the desert. They have new names, strange pasts, uncertain futures.
They're received with calm, bloodless benevolence. People help them, feed them, don't want to know much about them. They're advised to put passions and problems behind them, to be "washed clean", with all the losses that entails.
Security involves forgetting.
It's a world without irony or involvement: even sex is something to be performed "quietly, discreetly".But Simon, the man, doesn't want security; he wants spirit.
He argues for change and risk, for challenges to the meek, meagre calm that permeates his new home. He and the boy disturb people; they bring new words and new demands.
This quiet, haunting novel is built around a series of quests: for livelihood; for the boy's family; for some sense of comprehension and coherence - "what are we here for?"
Quite early on, young David is handed over to the woman who may or may not be his mother. But instead of feeling released, both child and adult feel bereft.
It's a search which takes them towards an ordeal, a journey, an annunciation. The implications of the novel's title become more and more inescapable.
The book brims with symbols. Characters are allegories as well as individuals. Their lives can be read as an image of what happens when we settle for comfort and conformity, and of the terrifying rewards that may come "if we begin making exceptions".
Coetzee's calm, emblematic prose lifts the plot into something redolent with metaphor and mystery. It's the sort of story that can make a satisfying image out of the absence of salt from a table, and a mischievous social commentary out of filling in an application form at a bordello.
Any statement can become a symbol; every event is suffused with potential revelation; something magical is always present and always just out of reach.
A couple of times, the elusive, allusive course of events becomes inert. But overwhelmingly, it's a memorable accomplishment, turning the everyday into the almost everlasting.
David Hill is a Taranaki writer.

Meet actress Skai Jackson. Skai, 10, plays eight-year-old Zuri Ross, the youngest member of the rambunctious Ross family at the center of Disney Channel's Jessie. The Ross's adopted Zuri from Africa when she was a baby. Zuri and her three siblings are watched over by their nanny Jessie, played by Debbie Ryan.
In a new episode of Jessie airing Friday, August 24, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Disney Channel, the Ross family celebrates Zuri's "Gotcha Day," and Jessie is in charge of decorations. What is Gotcha Day? Read TFK's Q&A with Skai Jackson to find out.
What do you like most about your character Zuri?
I like how she's fashionable. She knows what she wants. She loves her nanny Jessie. They really bond together. And she loves her brothers and sisters.
How are you similar to and different from Zuri?
I like to wear the same things Zuri does sometimes, but I don't wear [as] much pink. I'm kind of sassy, and Zuri is too. So we have some similarities in that.
Zuri is the star of an upcoming episode about her "Gotcha Day." Can you tell us about the episode?
Gotcha Day is basically when you celebrate the day you adopt a baby. So we share photos from when Zuri was a baby, and she gets so many prizes for her Gotcha Day, and she's so excited. She doesn't know if Gotcha Day is going to go well, and it does. You guys are going to love the episode.
Are there any special anniversaries or holidays you like to celebrate?
I love to celebrate Christmas. I love to celebrate all the holidays.
What else is going on with Zuri on the show this season?
(Skai wears) some new clothes that you guys will like. Many more adventures. You guys will love it.
Zuri, the character, is a big prankster. Have you played any pranks on set?
I actually have played pranks on set. Me and my friend Peyton [Peyton List, who plays Emma Ross on Jessie] pranked the boys. Debbie got us these marshmallow guns—you shoot marshmallows out of them. We pranked some people [on set with them]. We also pranked [the cast of] Ant Farm on one episode, and they got so scared.
It sounds like you have a lot of fun on set. Do you enjoy working with Debbie Ryan?
I do. She's, like, the best person ever. She's really sweet, and she cares for us.
Does she give you advice about acting?
She gives us really good advice about acting, and she gives us advice about hitting our marks on Jessie, and sometimes she gives us gifts. She's like our second parent.
Other than playing pranks, what else do you like to do during your down time on set?
I like to play with the cast, that's so much fun. I love to go outside, ride my bike, do hula hoops, and just be active and run around with the cast. And every Thursday or Friday when there is a live taping [of the show], we walk around the stage, and we get to see the fans who are in the live audience.
You have an interesting pet on the show, Mr. Kipling [played by giant lizard Frank]. Do you like working with the giant lizard?
I do like working with Mr. Kipling. He's a very strange pet to have, but he's really nice. That's the biggest lizard I ever saw in my life.


text: OK, I looked some stuff up on line. I guess only a semi auto-gun with a hammer would have a decocker. I assume that if the gun is in the ready to shoot mode, and you need to get out of that mode for any reason you would push the decocker and move the hammer forward without worrying about discharging. What is decock vs. decock only though. I am now looking at the Ruger P95 and they have deock and decock only. Still a little foggy.

England World Cup Squad of the Week #3
Roy Hodgson has just named his England squad for next week's friendly match against Denmark as he continue's his preparations for this summer's World Cup in Brazil, and there were one or two players in there, such as Ross Barkley and Ashley Cole, who haven't featured prominently for their clubs in recent months. Cole's reputation and experience makes him a shoe-in for the finals if fit, but here at aboutaball.co.uk we have been picking an England squad each week based purely on players' performances in that week's Premier League matches. Here's our latest selection.
Starting off as usual with the goalkeepers, there wasn't much choice as only three Englishmen turned out in goal for Premier League clubs in this round of fixtures. Fortunately they all acquitted themselves fairly well, with Joe Hart and John Ruddy both keeping clean sheets and Ben Foster making some decent saves despite conceding one goal, so they all make the squad with Hart as first choice.
There weren't too many contenders for the centre-back slots this week but the four we have chosen all had solid performances. Once again the Chelsea pairing of Gary Cahill and John Terry were integral in their team's shut-out of Everton at Stamford Bridge and their partnership is forming the bedrock of Chelsea's push for the title. Their individual talent makes them strong contenders for national team starting spots, but it's their understanding from playing together at club level that would be invaluable to Hodgson come the summer. Therefore, we'll continue to include Terry in these squads whilst there remains a possibility that he could be enticed back into the frame. Backup this week is provided by Curtis Davies, who stood out in Hull's demolition of Cardiff, and Mike Williamson, who impressed for Newcastle as the kept a clean sheet in the victory over Aston Villa.
Glen Johnson's return to action for Liverpool was a welcome sight, but he looked a bit rusty, so he didn't make the cut for this week's squad. Instead we have gone for Manchester United's Chris Smalling and Everton's Leighton Baines with backup from John Flanagan and Liam Rosenior at full-back. No English full-backs really stood out last weekend, but these four were better than most and the likes of Flanagan and Smalling offer a lot of versatility.
Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson were the outstanding English performers in the heart of midfield last weekend and we're aligning them in the heart of a 4-4-2 formation this week with the lively Raheem Sterling on one flank and the revived Stewart Downing on the other. Matthew Jarvis will provide cover in the wide areas and Frank Lampard and Jake Livermore in the centre with Swansea's Jonjo Shelvey as a more attacking wildcard following his great strike at Anfield.
Up front there wasn't much competition this week with Daniel Sturridge continuing his impressive run of form. Let's hope it continues into the summer and Wayne Rooney can return to the height of his powers to play alongside him as they would make an fearsome partnership on their day. Rooney scored with a fine strike against Crystal Palace and there were also goals from Carlton Cole and Kevin Nolan in West Ham's home win against Southampton that earned them a place in this week's squad.
So our England World Cup 2014 Squad of the Week #3 is:
Joe Hart
John Ruddy
Ben Foster
Jack Wilshere
Frank Lampard
Jake Livermore
Jordan Henderson
Jonjo Shelvey
Matthew Jarvis
Stewart Downing
Raheem Sterling
Forwards:Adam Johnson
And our England starting XI of the week would line up something like this:
England World Cup Squad of the Week #2
With only thirteen rounds of Premier League matches left before the 2014 World Cup finals kick off in Brazil, here's the second in our new weekly series of England squads picked solely on the basis of the English players who perform best in each round of Premier League fixtures until the end of the season. We're looking for the form players in this final third of the season – previous performances and reputation will count for nothing. By the end of the campaign, we will hopefully have a clear idea of who deserves to be on the plane to Brazil.
Starting off between the sticks, we've gone for Joe Hart following his clean sheet against Norwich City at Carrow Road. He edges out his opposite number from that match, John Ruddy. As Celtic's Fraser Forster was on the end of a beating this weekend, we've selected Hull's Steve Harper as our third choice 'keeper thanks to his clean sheet at Sunderland.
There weren't that many contenders for the defensive positions this weekend, especially at fullback, so we've taken a risk and only picked seven defenders for the squad and beef up the midfield options. Hopefully Jon Flanagan's ability to play on both sides would mitigate that risk as Kyle Walker and Luke Shaw are the only other full-backs in the squad. There were good performances for Chelsea's Gary Cahill and Spurs' Michael Dawson in clean sheet victories for their clubs and they are joined by Crystal Palace's Scott Dann and West Ham's James Tomkins to make up a full complement of four London based centre-backs.
There were plenty of impressive English central and wide midfielders this weekend and it was difficult to narrow to selection down to the nine that we have chosen. Liverpool's line up from their 5-1 crushing of Arsenal has provided Gerrard, Henderson and Sterling, with goalscoring wingers Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Tom Ince also joining the party. Swansea's Leon Britton, Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Fulham's Steve Sidwell complete the midfield options, the latter after an impressive display in the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.
A few English strikers found the net this weekend, but Darren Bent misses out on the squad in favour of Southampton's Rickie Lambert, who turned in another fine all round performance, Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge, Stoke City's Peter Crouch and West Ham's two-goal hero Kevin Nolan.
So our England World Cup 2014 Squad of the Week #2 is:
Joe Hart
John Ruddy
Steve Harper
Steven Gerrard
Jordan Henderson
Frank Lampard
Leon Britton
Steve Sidwell
Raheem Sterling
Nathan Dyer
Wayne Routledge
Tom Ince
Forwards:Adam Johnson
And our England starting XI of the week would line up something like this:
Do you agree? Who would you have picked on this week's Premier League performances? You can leave your comments below.
England World Cup Squad of the Week #1
There are now only fourteen more rounds of Premier League matches left before England manager Roy Hodgson must name his twenty-three man squad for the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil. We thought it would be a good time to start our countdown to the tournament with a new weekly feature on the English players who perform best in each round of Premier League fixtures between now and the end of the season. We're going to pick our own England squad each week based solely on performances in the most recent set of matches and see which players most consistently make the cut so that we will be able to tally up their appearances come June and see who most deserves to be on the plane to Brazil. We're looking for the form players in this final third of the season – previous performances and reputation will count for nothing.
We will start with the goalkeepers. There isn't a lot of competition at the moment and Celtic's Fraser Forster is likely to be in the final squad, which leaves two places for Premier League goalkeepers. It wasn't a vintage weekend for English 'keepers, but Ben Foster produced a couple of crucial saves and performed well enough in West Brom's draw against Liverpool to earn one of the spots. We'll hand the third spot to Joe Hart, who was beaten by a good shot in Manchester City's defeat to Chelsea, ahead of Hull's Steve Harper, who could have done better with the Tottenham goal, and John Ruddy, who let in two for Norwich at Cardiff.
In defence there weren't many outstanding performances from English full-backs in the Premier League this weekend but several centre-backs staked a claim for a place in the England squad. Not least among them were the club partnership of Gary Cahill and John Terry who did what nobody else has done for over three years and shut out Manchester City at the Etihad. Yes, we know John Terry is out of the reckoning for England selections at the moment, but stranger u-turns have happened in the past so we're going to keep him in contention for the time being. As a partnership, those two are going straight on to this week's England teamsheet with squad back up from Sunderland's Wes Brown and James Tomkins of West Ham, who both impressed with clean sheets for their clubs. Leighton Baines gets our nod for the left-back slot ahead of Southampton's Luke Shaw but right-backs are a bit thinner on the ground at the moment. We'll hand Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne a starting spot even though he only played the last thirty two minutes. He made a big impact as all three goals came after his introduction and he created one of them with a good run and cross. Liverpool's Jon Flanagan gets in as his back up.
There was a bit more competition for places in midfield this week, where the stand out performer was Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He scored two goals and will be a certainty to make the squad if he carries on in that form. It's a real boost to England to have him back from injury and he should be fresh for the World Cup having missed over half the season. He'll slot into a midfield three alongside Gareth Barry, who was effective as ever in Everton's comeback win against Aston Villa, and Jack Colback, who shone for Sunderland against Newcastle. Other options in the centre of the park will be provided by the West Ham pair of Mark Noble and Kevin Nolan as a more advanced option.
We were somewhat spoilt for choice in the wide areas this week, with plenty of Englishmen putting in stellar performances in the Premier League. In the end we went for Sunderland's Adam Johnson on the right side of attack with Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge on the left, but it could just as easily have been Adam Lallana or Jay Rodriguez of Southampton, who also make our squad, as does Sturridge's team mate Raheem Sterling. That doesn't leave many places for out and out strikers in the squad, which is just as well because not many made an impression this week. Only two really stood out and they were West Ham's Andy Carroll, with his two assists against Swansea, and Southampton's Rickie Lambert, with a goal and two assists against Fulham.
So our England World Cup 2014 Squad of the Week #1 is:
Ben Foster
Joe Hart
Fraser Forster
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Gareth Barry
Jack Colback
Mark Noble
Kevin Nolan
Adam Lallana
Raheem Sterling
Forwards:Adam Johnson
And our England starting XI of the week would line up something like this:
Do you agree? Who would you have picked on this week's Premier League performances?
Rain in Rome lets Juve extend lead
Italian champions Juventus were able to extend their lead at the top of Serie A to nine points over the weekend with a 3-1 win against rivals Internazionale at the Juventus Stadium in Turin. A goal from Swiss wide man Stephan Lichtsteiner on the quarter of an hour mark gave Juve a half time lead and they doubled their advantage just after the break when defender Giorgio Chiellini found the net. Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal sealed the victory with more than half an hour left to play before Portuguese defender Rolando notched up a consolatory strike for Inter, who are now without a win in six outings since their Derby victory against Milan back in December.
Second placed AS Roma were unable to keep up the pressure on Juventus at the top of the table due to the wet weather in the Italian capital. Their match with Parma did get under way but a heavy downpour forced it to be abandoned so Roma now have a game in hand on the other clubs around them in the table. They didn't have to worry about anyone catching them up from behind as third placed Napoli were well beaten by Atalanta in Bergamo and fourth placed Fiorentina fell to a 1-0 defeat at Cagliari. The big movers were Verona, whose 2-1 win away at Sassuolo allowed them to jump up three places to fifth. On Monday night Sampdoria ran out winners in the Genoa derby, beating their neighbours 1-0 with a first half goal from Argentine striker Maxi Lopez.
Chelsea end Manchester City's unbeaten home record
Chelsea have ended Manchester City's unbeaten home record in the Premier League this season and kept the title race wide open with a 1-0 win at the Etihad Stadium. Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic lashed home the only goal of the game in the thirty second minute to lift Jose Mourinho's team up to fifty three points, leaving them in joint second place with City, only trailing the Manchester club on goal difference. City, who had won all eleven of their previous home league fixtures this campaign, failed to find the net on home turf in the league for the first time since November 2010 and missed out on the chance to go top of the table.
Arsenal have a two point advantage at the top of the table thanks to their 2-0 home win in a London derby against Crystal Palace at the weekend, which came courtesy of two goals from the returning Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. However, things could change at the top as early as next weekend with the Gunners facing a difficult looking trip to Anfield to take on fourth placed Liverpool, who could only draw at West Brom on Sunday, and Chelsea and Manchester City having easier looking fixtures against Newcastle and Norwich respectively.
Expanded Elite One Kicks off in Cameroon
The new football league season kicked off in Cameroon this weekend with the first round of fixtures in the newly expanded Elite One, the country's top division. Five teams have been added to the fourteen who competed in last season's edition, taking the total up to nineteen. The newcomers are UMS de Loum, Bamboutos de Mbouda, Scorpion, Apejes De Mfou and Cosmos de Bafia. The expansion meant that last season's bottom three, Sable, Tonnerre Kalara Club De Yaounde and Panthere Sportive Du Nde were all saved from relegation.
Reigning champions Coton Sport travelled to newcomers Bamboutos de Mbouda and were held to a goalless draw on Saturday. The opening game of the season had seen Unisport de Bafang win 1-0 away at Les Astres earlier in the day, but they were soon joined on three points at the top of the nascent Elite One table by Apejes De Mfou, Panthere, Njala Quan Sports Academy and New Star De Douala.
Sunday's pair of fixtures saw Union Sportive of Douala become outright leaders on goal difference courtesy of their 3-0 home win against Scorpion and newly promoted Cosmos De Bafia earned an impressive debut win away at Canon Sportif of Yaounde. The second round of fixtures is on Tuesday this week.
Bayern Maintain Thirteen Point Gap
Bayern Munich thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 in the Bundesliga in Germany to maintain their perfect home record and keep the gap at the top of the table at thirteen points from second placed Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern were in control from the off and took an early lead through Mario Gotze with Franck Ribery doubling their advantage just before half time. Substitute Arjen Robben added a third shortly after coming off the bench before Dante and Mario Mandzukic wrapped up the scoring. Eintracht Frankfurt were never really at the races and clearly had their mind on next weekend's key clash against fellow strugglers Eintracht Braunschweig.
Bayer Leverkusen had reduced the gap at the top to ten points overnight with their 2-1 home win against VFB Stuttgart. Bayer had to fight back after Moritz Leitner gave the visitors an early lead, but Stefan Kiessling and Eren Derdiyok replied to half their run of three successive defeats. Stuttgart now sit on a losing run of four and are only two points clear of the relegation zone but their troubles are nothing compared to those at Hamburger SV, who lost for the fifth time in a row on Saturday, going down 3-0 at Hoffenheim and dropping into seventeenth place. They were overtaken by Nurnberg, who picked up their first away win of the season at Hertha and moved clear of the relegation zone.
Elsewhere, a brace from Pierre Emerick Aubameyang saw Borussia Dortmund finally return to winning ways away at rock bottom Eintracht Braunschweig in the Friday night clash and hold on to third place ahead of a resurgent Schalke, who beat Wolfsburg 2-1 thanks to goals from Felipe Santana and Kevin Prince Boateng. Schalke's win saw them move up into fourth spot, leapfrogging Borussia Monchengladbach, who went down 3-1 away at Hannover. Mainz made it two wins from two following the resumption after the winter break with a South Korean inspired 2-0 win against Freiburg, who drop into the relegation zone, and Augsburg recovered from an early own goal to beat Werder Bremen 3-1 at home.
Next weekend kicks of with the biggest clash on Friday night as Bayer Leverkusen travel to fifth placed Borussia Monchengladbach. Bayern Munich travel to Nurnberg and Werder Bremen host Borussia Dortmund on the Saturday and Schalke round off the set of fixtures against Hannover in the early Sunday evening match. Hertha Berlin's Colombian striker Gustavo Adrian Ramos is a goal clear at the top of the scoring charts, having taken his season's tally up to twelve with his early strike in the defeat to Nurnberg.
Chelsea loan Brazilian youngster to Inter
Chelsea have announced that their nineteen year old Brazilian right-back Wallace Oliveira dos Santos, commonly known simply as 'Wallace', has been loaned to Internazionale of Milan in Italy for the forthcoming season. They hope that the youngster, who doesn't figure in new manager Jose Mourinho's plans for this campaign, will be given playing time by new Inter manager Walter Mazzarri allowing him to develop his talents and adapt to playing in Europe. At Inter Wallace will find his compatriots and fellow defenders Jonathan and Juan Jesus.
Wallace was signed by Chelsea from Fluminense at the end of last calendar year but was immediately loaned back to the Rio de Janeiro club and has featured twenty one times in their first team, scoring one goal, since making his debut at the age of seventeen. He has caps for Brazil at under seventeen and under twenty levels and was part of the Fluminense squad that won last season's league championship. He was involved in Chelsea's pre-season tour of Asia and played in the win against the Singha All-Star XI in Bangkok.
Egypt beat Uganda in friendly
Whilst a state of emergency was being declared across many of the states in Egypt and scores of people were being killed in the violence that has flared up in Cairo and elsewhere in the troubled country, the national team, led by American coach Bob Bradley, escaped to the relative tranquillity of the Red Sea resort of El Gouna where they faced Milutin Sredojevic's Uganda in a friendly that really was meaningless when compared to the terrible events ongoing nearby.
Only a few hundred people were in the stadium to witness the Egyptian team continue their recent run of good form with a 3-0 victory against a Uganda side that had won two games in a row themselves. Striker Ahmed Hassan Koka of Portuguese Primeira Liga club Rio Ave gave the home side the lead in the twenty second minute and it remained that way until FC Basel's Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage twelve minutes after the break. Substitute Ibrahim Salah of Al Orubah in Saudi Arabia wrapped up the scoring ten minutes after coming off the bench to replace Mohamed El Nenny. Egypt's next outing is scheduled to be a home World Cup qualifier against Guinea in September but the situation in the country will obviously determine exactly when and where that match takes place.
Khizhnichenko gives Kazakhstan win over Georgia
Shakhter Karagandy's twenty-two year old striker Sergey Khizhnichenko scored a stunning goal after seventeen minutes to edge out Georgia and hand a narrow victory to Miroslav Beranek's Kazakhstan team in a friendly match in Astana. Khizhnichenko brought down a ball in from the right with a fine touch that turned the defender and set him up for a pin-point strike into the bottom right corner of the net from just outside the box. It was the stand out moment of a tight game in the Kazakh capital that saw the home team end their run of three successive defeats. Their opponents own dreadful run of form has now been extended to four defeats in a row and no wins from their last eight games, a sequence going back to September 2012, so they will be struggling for confidence ahead of their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers at home to France and Finland next month. The Kazakhs also face a pair of home qualification matches in September, with the Faroe Islands and Sweden due to visit.

Minneapolis five-piece Polica were founded in 2011 by producer and instrumentalist Ryan Olson and vocalist Channy Leaneagh, and released their debut LP only a year later.
Written and recorded in the wake of Leaneagh's divorce, it's an 11-track collection which ranges in sonic inspiration (R&B, nu-soul and electro-lounge permeate). But it is connected by a highly processed, other-wordly sound palette, a ruminative, introspective, melancholic outlook, and Leaneagh's employment of Auto-Tune as a specific vocal effect.
The drumming throughout is largely inventive and engaging, working in conjunction with some great bass lines, and somehow feeling equally integrated with the various synths.
There are guitars too, but they're mostly kept in the background - though Violent Games has rock leanings worked into its danceable incantation. They hit their stride with tracks like funked-up Dark Star, Form with its vaguely Eastern European folk flavour and a bass line that could've stepped out of Paul Simon's Graceland album, and the dreamy Lay Your Cards Out.
Sometimes the tracks feel a little wandering, but they've got a hazy late-night appeal that feels exotic and continental in an 80s way.
Polica will be appearing at the Laneway festival on Monday.
Stars: 3.5/5
Verdict: Ruminative, electro-flavoured, Auto-Tune-layered debut

Blizz redesigning how many (i don't remember) mage talents ?
Don't need more proof that mages are f*cked up.
Yeah, especially the bomb tier and the lvl 90 tier. We get a whole talent tier to choose between 'st bomb, cleave bomb and aoe + snare bomb' and our level cap ultimate talents are... stand in this circle to do more damage/regen mana, spam evocation every minute to do more damage/regen mana and put up a barrier to do more damage/regen mana. Might have worked better as a different tier but while the concept of the rune was cool to me at first to novelty quickly wore off.

- - - Updated - - -
- 3 old/existing spells are becoming talents
- 4 live talents are being changed majorly
- Bomb Tier consolidated to one, multi-spec, talent
- 2 of the 3 L90 talents are deleted. A "good part" of the remaining one survived
So do the math. If you count the new tier as "Empty" right now, then ~over half of our talents' slots are being replaced. However, we don't know if other classes are getting that much treatment to their talents (then again, most of them don't need an overhaul)
- - - Updated - - -
But all in all I feel we have a stronger more knowledgeable community going into this beta than the last one, Cata drove a lot of the TC mage community away and it really showed when we were largely untested coming out of the beta. Things will be different this time for sure.
@polar as for those "hefty tweaks" for arcane, were halfway to being ok shhh don't tell them to change anything.
TBH I liked Cata's design more than MoP, but it was still a pile of crap in Cata as well, kinda like having a pile of crap vs a pile of crap with some sprinkles on it. It's still crap, but at least it looks slightly nicer.
I like Lhivera.
I'll say Lhivera a thousand times!

I want to dig zomgdps out of his cave though. I love his posts. What better way to bait him into making a big glorious post than saying the L-name 3 times?
Lhivera, Lhivera, Lhivera.
I love zomgdps because he makes me look normal.
Mags aren't underperforming at all.
Arcane is extremely potent for hc raiding (if your raid takes your rune into consideration).
Sure, MoP has been an overall Warlock expansion - but Mages have never been stronger in MoP than they are right now.
And Mages perform better than almost every other class apart from warlocks.
If you're out dps'd by a shadowpriest then lol. Thats on you.
For reference check Blatty (Method). Very competetive and above most warlocks for a lot of the fights in SoO.
You really shouldn't use Blatty as a standard. He is one of the absolute best Mages in the world. He has been consistently so. And he was one of the best Warlocks in the world when he was playing it.
That said... yes, Warlocks have been better than Mages for most of this expansion. Most of that was due to their utility. And the fact they were generally higher DPS during progression. Mages have actually been top DPS ONCE GEARED each tier. T14 Arcane w/ Scorch spam was RIDICULOUS damage. Fire mages w/ Combustion in T15 CRUSHED Warlocks on most fights once in full Heroic (if they had never nerfed Combustion raid composition in T16 would have been a game of "can we take 15 mages and still get enough total gear to progress?". Fire and Arcane in near-BIS are fully capable of outperforming any Warlock spec on a good number of fights.
Warlocks just generally have much better QOL while raiding (in terms of movement and damage taken). Both classes, on the whole, are and have been on top of damage the entire expansion.
Mages are certainly not "underperforming" Warlocks. The only way that is even conceivable is if you think anything less than absolute top damage in every situation in every time frame is your "birthright" as a class.
We're underperforming exactly as how you put it. Even if you claim our damage is equal if not sometimes better, the fact is in all other aspects aside from damage they are better than us and that is why raid leaders will always consider a warlock over a mage.
Mages will never be without raid spots. They are better, on the whole, than every other class BUT Warlocks.
And Warlocks are OP. Guess what? You are also OP.
Your attitude is hilarious.
"We are not the absolute best at everything at all times, so there is a problem."
Spoiled much?
If you are ever turned down as a Mage for a raid slot it is because you are lacking in ability at your class. Not because of your class.
Ugh, someone HAD to revive this after being dead for a week... Can we give it a rest with this thread, guys? What more needs to be said in this thread specifically???
Ok I'm locking this after several reports in the last few hours. Peace out and be kind to each other.
My magic will tear you apart.

""Strangely addicting" were the words my husband used to describe this. I tried this because I love the flavor of grapefruit, and I thought it turned out very well. Simple to make too. My only complaint would be the "look" of it... after it's scooped on you plate, its the same color/consistency of congealed fat. I think next time I might add a few drops of red food coloring to make it look more like a pink or ruby red grapefruit."

I hope Cruz walks, there I said it.
I find myself often feeling the same way. Once Cruz became a "product", he lost some of his underdog appeal that made me such a fan of him in 2011. It's like: please just catch TD's and that's it, don't try and throw your garbage in our face. We came to watch football, not get jayz shoved down our throat.
Also I'm tired of all this contract drama that we have to hear about ad nauseum. I hope we can keep him long term (for a fair price that is) because he really is something else with Eli and seems to fit with our offense like a glove. Nonetheless, should he decide to go to another team, I won't be broken up about it.
Ella the yellow lab puppy is waiting for me at home today. She came a day early. Exciting day at the Pizzack residence.

Knicks need to blow it up. Trade Melo and Chandler for cap relief and draft picks. Try to be awful in the 2015 season and get a high pick. Hopefull by 2017 we will be championship contenders. This team will most likely finish in the 5th or 6th seed and play the Bulls or Nets .I could see them beating the Nets if thats who they draw in the 1st round 50/50 id say. I dont think they can beat the Pacers,Bulls, or Celtics.
knicks traded brewer to okc for a 2nd round pick and signed kenyon martin to a 10 day contract...
it's about time we picked up a big... getting tired of waiting for sheed and camby to get healthy.,. i wonder if he's in shape though... and if/when he'll get some playing time.
like i said before i'm not sure if you over rate the players or not because most of the time you talk about how they're not that good... yet you expect them to be this dominant team or something. what was the last true contending team that had a backcourt as bad as the knicks has been the past few years?
bibby/douglas/fields/walker/shump/jr etc is not gonna get it done. it's been this team's main weakness for awhile now. we played well early in the year because our backcourt was over achieving. we should have kept lin at all costs or picked up some better young talent instead.
i respect your opinion but i'm honestly confused how you can on one hand point out how bad the team is constantly... yet claim they're underachieving. if you actually break down the roster on the knicks... other than melo what do we really have? chandler has never been that great. he got overvalued after helping the mavs win a chip, mainly with their zone defense because he is a good perimeter defender for a guy his size. amare? he's a good player but has fallen from grace. jr? nothing more than a role player. felton? career below average, low iq chucker of a pg. so really the knicks consist of a flawed superstar in melo that needs a lot of help to get the job done. even lebron needed to team up with wade/bosh to get it done.
i bought into the hype of our start because i thought our backcourt would get better with the return of shump. but kidd has completely fallen off. felton and jr are too inconsistent and that's all we got. pablo has actually been pretty solid but woodson never gives him enough burn. even when felton was hurt he was just playing kidd 30+ mins a game instead of giving pablo more minutes.
i was a big believer in woodson but a lot of the things i praised him for in the past seem to be gone. he doesn't hold anyone accountable anymore. he just spends most of his time yelling at the refs like dantoni used to do instead of coaching the damn team. and he seems to stubborn to adjust. the starting lineup is horrible and we constantly end up with 10 point defecits in thh first quarter. you can't have a lineup with melo as the only scoring threat it's not gonna work. it worked earlier because felton was playing great, kidd and brewer were knocking down shots and chandler was getting lobs. all that seems to have vanished as teams have adjusted to what we like to do. the problem is we still haven't adjusted. we still run that same stupid play to start every game.
i'm obviously not happy but i still have faith if we can get everyone rolling again we can regain some semblance of good basketball.
i'd also like to apologize for calling you names the other day. i was pissed from watching the knicks get spanked lol.

LOL, you forgot to put that in red
I don't know about letting Melo walk, but the Team wasn't built around him to begin with. It was built around Amar'e.
So if anything, if Melo (wants to) stay, I say nuke everyone else and build around #7 instead of ad-hoc modifying around #1.

kmart is a solid pickup. he'll provide rebounding, defense, and athleticism as he's a big that can run the floor. we've been missing sheed/camby a lot more than you may realize. if they were healthy we wouldn't need him but that isn't the case. even if they were healthy it's still a good pickup because he's a more athletic big that can run well compared to them.
no one is proclaiming he's the savoir but i doubt it will make things worse.
half way through the season we butcher the team with the acquisition of melo. the next off season we let most of those guys go, including cutting billups to get chandler. so at that point the team consisted of melo, stat, chandler as the frontline... which sounded great but we literally had no one of any substance at any other position. stat goes through a bad season of injuries and family tragedy, melo struggles through injury... but jeremy lin emerged as the bright spot of the season to that point. then he gets hurt and melo regains form and gets us to the playoffs... unfortunately against the eventual champs miami heat.
in conclusion i don't think this team was really built around either guy because neither of them have been here long enough. getting chandler on paper was supposed to help cover for both melo and amare defensively... but under dantoni it was a disaster (just like the lakers) because he only likes 1 big in the lineup, one pick n roll big and he doesn't like his players to post. the spacing was horrible. he had amare standing in the corner taking 3s lol
this team wasn't properly built in general. i like chandler but i wonder if we would have been better off just signing a couple cheap defensive bigs and spent whatever money we had in the backcourt. i think we'd be much better off if we had a real solid guard to go with melo and amare. instead all our money is tied up in a front court that doesn't really complement each other.

|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006-2008 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2008-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B: Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Age
The data on age were derived from answers to Question 4. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years at the time of interview. Both age and date of birth are used in combination to calculate the most accurate age at the time of the interview. Inconsistently reported and missing values are assigned or imputed based on the values of other variables for that person, from other people in the household, or from people in other households ("hot deck" imputation). Data on age are used to determine the applicability of other questions for a particular individual and to classify other characteristics in tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social and economic characteristics used to plan and analyze programs and policies. Therefore, age data are tabulated by many different age groupings, such as 5-year age groups.
Median Age
The median age is the age that divides the population into two equal-size groups. Half of the population is older than the median age and half is younger. Median age is based on a standard distribution of the population by single years of age and is shown to the nearest tenth of a year. (See the sections on "Standard Distributions" and "Medians" under "Derived Measures.")
Age Dependency Ratio
The age dependency ratio is derived by dividing the combined under-18 and 65-and-over populations by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by 100.
Old-Age Dependency Ratio
The old-age dependency ratio is derived by dividing the population 65 years and over by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by 100.
Child Dependency Ratio
The child dependency ratio is derived by dividing the population under 18 years by the 18-to-64 population, and multiplying by 100.
Limitation of the Data
Caution should be taken when comparing population in age groups across time. The entire population continually ages into older age groups over time and babies fill in the youngest age group. Therefore, the population of a certain age is made up of a completely different group of people in 2000 and 2008. Since populations occasionally experience booms/increases and busts/decreases in births, deaths, or migration (for example, the postwar Baby Boom from 1946-1964), one should not necessarily expect that the population in an age group in Census 2000 should be similar in size or proportion to the population in the same age group in the 2008 ACS. For example, Baby Boomers were age 36 to 54 in Census 2000 while they were age 44 to 62 in the 2008 ACS. Therefore, the age group 55 to 59 would show a considerable increase in population when comparing Census 2000 data with the 2008 ACS data. Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) is included in the ACS. Some types of GQ populations have age distributions that are very different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the age distribution. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-2002 American Community Survey question asked for month, day, and year of birth before age. Since 2003, the American Community Survey question asked for age, followed by month, day, and year of birth. In 2008, an additional instruction was provided with the age and date of birth question on the American Community Survey questionnaire to report babies as age 0 when the child was less than 1 year old. The addition of this instruction occurred after 2005 National Census Test results indicated increased accuracy of age reporting for babies less than one year old.

|ACS 2008-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B: Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Household Type and Relationship -> Relationship to Householder -> Householder
The data on relationship to householder were derived from answers to Question 2, which was asked of all people in housing units. One person in each household is designated as the householder. In most cases, this is the person, or one of the people, in whose name the home is owned, being bought, or rented and who is listed on line one of the survey questionnaire. If there is no such person in the household, any adult household member 15 years old and over could be designated as the householder. Households are classified by type according to the sex of the householder and the presence of relatives. Two types of householders are distinguished: a family householder and a non-family householder. A family householder is a householder living with one or more individuals related to him or her by birth, marriage, or adoption. The householder and all people in the household related to him or her are family members. A non-family householder is a householder living alone or with non-relatives only.

It is often said the coverup can be worse than the crime.
Unless, of course, the coverup works.
And a new book entitled Spygate the Untold Story, suggests the league successfully covered up and minimized the New England spying scandal.
By destroying the tapes quickly, fining the Patriots and taking away a draft pick, but not suspending coach Bill Belichick, commissioner Roger Goodell convinced the public it was a minor matter that didnt have a big impact on the Patriots success.
But author Bryan OLeary contends it was a key to their three Super Bowl victories and suggests the Patriots might be still doing it in their home stadium, where its easy to hide a camera in an obscure place.
OLeary says it wasnt just the filming the signals that made the plan work. The Patriots, he wrote, also had a radio frequency to quarterback Tom Bradys helmet that didnt click off with 15 seconds left before the play clock runs down the way the league frequency does.
Ernie Adams, a close confidant of Belichicks, who is noted for his ability to read defenses, but whose duties have been never publicly defined, is the person in Bradys ear via their secret frequency, OLeary writes. He added that Adams can talk to Brady until the ball is snapped and even afterward to alert Brady to the open receiver.
The author notes that in a book about Belichick, David Halberstam wrote that Brady reads defenses so well, It was as if there were a camera secreted away in his brain.
OLeary suggests its Adams being in his ear from the coaching booth that made the difference.
If the author is right, it might help explain how Matt Cassel could step in and win 11 games when Brady was hurt, and why coaches who leave the Patriots generally have little success.
The author suggests the statistics show the Patriots have an overwhelming edge at home.
From 2001-2011, 19 teams had a perfect home record during the regular season.
The Patriots did it five of those times and won 31 home games in a row at one point.
By contrast, top quarterbacks Dan Marino and Troy Aikman never had a perfect home season, and Kurt Warner, Jim Kelly, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees did it only once.
Observe all the statistical evidence, then come to your own conclusion on this delicate subject, OLeary wrote.
Unless a Patriots insider blows the whistle one day, the true story might never been known or not for a long time. It took decades to reveal that the New York Giants were stealing signals in 1951 when they overcame a 13 1/2-game deficit in August and beat the Brooklyn Dodgers on Bobby Thomsons homer.
Sounds like a good book.


text: Blocking. In the Giants' victory over the 49ers, Manning was sacked six times, hurried 11 times and knocked down 19 times in 64 dropbacks. Giants coach Tom Coughlin has done a great job of patching the offensive line, and you knew there were going to have problems against the 49ers' tough front seven. Manning wasn't sacked in the first Patriots game but he was hit eight times. The Giants will have to control Mark Anderson, who is the Patriots' top remaining pass-rushing defensive end. He had 10 sacks during the regular season. They will have problems handling Wilfork, whom the Ravens couldn't control. To have success, the Giants might have to pound big running back Brandon Jacobs into the line to wear down the Patriots, who run a 4-3.

[quote user="BlueSanta"][quote user="nycsportzfan"]ya I don't really notice a huge lack of arM strength either Sure its not like hes got JaMarcus Russell ArM strength but hes got enough of a arM to be successful in that aspect thats for sure I liken hiM to Andy Dalton a kid who is just very sMart and savy and is just good at football There is way to Many stupid players in the NFL where a player that has savy and sMarts and anticipates and can flat out fool defenders is going to succeed Sure dalton weighs upwards to 20lbs on kellen and has a inch or 2 on hiM but i think Moore can be every bit as successful and people May be suprised at Kellen's success given a chance Then again he could never be given a chance SoMetiMes it happens like that as well Theres probably 10000000 players who never were given chances who can play in this league because of so called liMitations but then guys like Wayne Chrebet Wes Welker Drew Brees JiM Leohnard Doug Flutie Danny Woodhead Steve Largent and others are lucky enough to get a chance and people are like "hey these guys can play!" To be honest i think it Makes for a better league when u add good football players like that to the league because right now its watered down with way to Many flat out "DUMB" players but they have the size and ht and so called NFL bodies
Last year, well prior to the draft, well before he had a good senior bowl or combine I said I thought some team was going to fall in love with Christain Ponder. Watching Moore, I get the same feeling. In a way he reminds me a lot of Ponder. He has the same type of accuracy and has an underated arm. I dont like his throwing motion as much as Ponders. But its not a bad 1 either. He also doesnt hold onto the ball too long like Ponder sometimes did.
The 1 knock on him is his height. But, I dont buy it in his case for a couple reasons:
1) Watch his highlights and you will see him do 1 thing better than most NFL vets. He ALWAYS looks defenders off. You just dont see this kid stare down recievers. This makes it very difficult for tall defensive lineman to bat his throws down. He will look right, look mid, and dump it off left instantly. The Poor D-lineman dont have a chance to get their hands up cause they cant read his eyes.
2) He isnt a runner by nature but he has decent mobility. Like Doug Flutie, like Drew Breeze and since he is a left especially like Steve Young and mike Vick, he is mobile enough to find the passing lanes by putting himself in position quickly. Without being overly technical about why, being left handed helps him as a shorter QB too. Mostly because the upfield rushers are usually lined up on the left side. It gives an extra demention of defensive scheme to counter lefty QBs.
Im not going to keep arguning this because it just goes around in circles I see what would be the weakest arm in the NFL out there and all the anticipation in the world isnt going to cover it up. His ability to read defenses could be invaluable to a team though and it may allow him to have a good career as an NFL back up but a franchise signal calling QB he is not. U guys keep bringing up Drew Brees he is nothing like Drew Brees.Yes Brees is short but he doesnt have all the other short comings. Pennington had a weak arm after 3 arm surgeries but he wasnt 5'11 with horrible mechanics.While all these other QB's might have 1 negative they dont run the gamut like Moore does.Wouldnt surprise me if he ended up being a great clipboard holder though because of his mind
Here look at this this guy put up a great piece on why Kellen is not a franchise QB. Before u say its Bleacher Report the guy has real credentials he isnt some hack and I agree with everything he points at.
Thats a disaster in the NFL. U dont have the same room to throw in the NFL as college.There will be bodies all around him.

Calls to Cass Sheriff up eight percent
The Cass County Sheriff's Office received 18,812 calls for service in 2012, according to Sheriff Tom Burch's annual report.
That is an 8 percent increase over 2011. It includes calls for the sheriff's deputies, city police and fire departments and ambulance services.
Since 1997, the lowest number of calls received in a year was in 1999 when there were 13,931. The highest, 21,207, was in 2006.
Burch said the good news is that average response time for answering calls has dropped from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. This is partly due to reorganizing work areas and partly due to dispatchers now using a GPS automated vehicle locator, an on-screen map which enables them to see where each squad car is at any given time.
The sheriff's department submitted 619 files to the county attorney in 2012 for consideration of gross misdemeanor or felony charges. There were 468 misdemeanor charges.
The sheriff's department collected in 2012 $28,085 in alarm fees, $925 in alarm penalties, $21,045 for firearm permits, $718 for records and $79,837 for civil fees.
Sheriff's personnel served 1,632 total civil papers in 2012 and conducted 99 mortgage foreclosure sales. There were 772 new warrants issued and 534 warrants cleared.
Employees processed 243 gun permits to carry and processed 507 permits to purchase guns. They processed 2,251 criminal history checks through state records checks and entered 254 "hot files" for stolen items, missing persons, runaway juveniles and statewide alerts.
The boat and water safety division checked 676 boats at 81 resorts and rental businesses, gave 26 presentations and classes, placed 233 navigation buoys/signs/markers, placed and maintained 168 thin ice warning signs and issued 68 event permits and 1,041 raft permits.
That division issued 1.062 verbal warnings, 213 written warnings and 38 citations in 2012.
Deputies made 2,088 documented random compliance checks on 174 Level 1, 2 and 3 registered predatory offenders in 2012. They issued six prosecution packets for non-compliance.
Volunteer groups assisting the sheriff included the chaplaincy, dive team, posse, TRIAD and the water patrol.
The detention center booked 1,912 people into jail in 2012. On average 15.34 people were housed daily at the jail in Walker and 43.51 in Crow Wing County. The inmate population was highest in July and lowest in November.
The sentence to serve program had 124 participants in 2012 who worked 8,528 hours. They worked off about $18,474 worth of fines.
Emergency Management Director Kerry Swenson is now also the system administrator for the 800 MHZ emergency radio system installed last year after taking 80 hours of training. He will be able to do much of the service work needed during daily operations.
The highest number of calls the sheriff received came from the following townships: Pike Bay near Cass Lake, Shingobee and Turtle Lake near Walker, Sylvan in southern Cass and Pine River near that city.
The highest number of calls to cities was to Cass Lake, then to Walker, Pine River and Lake Shore.
On Tuesday, March 19, the county board authorized Burch to purchase seven instead of the budgeted six new patrol vehicles, with receipts from forfeited property sales paying for the additional vehicle.
